Chapter 140 Easily
At the Yue family's house, just as he reached the gate, Cao Ze met Hong Xing who had just returned from outside.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Cao Ze and Su Xiaozhi walking hand in hand, Hong Xing asked with a look of suspicion on her face.

Normally, if someone is able to enter the Five Absolute Places to practice, no one would be willing to come out on their own initiative. Having stayed there for a period of time, she had a deep understanding of this.

Unless you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, you have no choice but to come out.

But Cao Ze had only been in the Five Absolutes for half a year. Logically speaking, given his qualifications, it was impossible for him to encounter a bottleneck so quickly.

"Sister Hong Xing!"

Su Xiaozhi let go of Cao Ze's hand and went forward to hold Hong Xing's arm. Although she had already reached the great perfection of internal organ refining and her cultivation level had surpassed Hong Xing, the way she addressed her did not change. Instead, she touched Hong Xing's face with some heartache, "Sister Hong Xing doesn't look well. You need to have a good rest!"

"I'm here to find Ling Ke."

Seeing Hong Xing's face becoming somewhat tired and haggard, Cao Ze finally felt the passage of time.

Before I knew it, half a year had passed.

Hearing this name, Hong Xing was originally prepared to refute it, but she quickly realized that with Cao Ze's current strength, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with calling him Ling Ke.

"The young lady is out investigating the situation at the Dragon Temple."

Cao Ze was stunned. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

But with just one sentence, he could imagine the changes that had taken place in the outside world in the past six months. No wonder Hong Xing looked tired.

In this case, he was not in a hurry and might as well go back to see Uncle Wu and the others.

"Sister Hong Xing, come and have some snacks when you're free!"

Su Xiaozhi waved goodbye to Hong Xing. She hadn't seen her for such a long time, and when she suddenly saw Hong Xing, she felt a sense of familiarity.

After such a long period of hard training, she was ready to get started.

"But the young lady should be back soon. Please come with me to the Bamboo Garden and wait."

Hong Xing called out to Cao Ze and the other man who had turned around, and led them all the way to the bamboo garden.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go clean up."

After saying that, Hong Xing left the Bamboo Garden. It was obvious that she had just returned from a great battle. It was conceivable that the battle between Cape City and Dragon God Temple had probably entered a white-hot stage.

……

Tianya City, Brotherhood, Sihai Pavilion, a figure walked briskly into the lobby with a confident smile on his face. He stopped after seeing Tong Shuzhao who was sipping tea in the lobby.

"The boy is out!"

Tianya City has been built for some time, so there is naturally no shortage of spies in Haijiao City.

Tong Shuzhao put down his teacup, a smile also appeared on his face, and he shook his head slightly, "I overestimated him."

"I didn't expect that you would lose your patience after only half a year. You are really too young!"

"In that case, there is no need to worry."

Meng Qifan didn't take it seriously. "I've said it before, he's just a kid with good talent. As long as he hasn't grown up, he's still a kid. Aren't there enough geniuses who have died young in recent years?"

"How many people can hold on to sudden wealth and honor?"

"Then, follow the plan!"

Tong Shuzhao no longer objected, "I have already contacted my hometown to arrange for the support personnel. Even if something unexpected happens, we can escape to the East China Sea at any time."

"Don't worry, he's just a kid who just entered the Refining Organs Realm. What can go wrong?"

Meng Qifan raised his palm and flipped it a few times, "It's so easy!"

As he said this, he turned and walked out of Sihai Pavilion and headed towards Haijiao City.

……

In the bamboo garden, the green bamboos are tall and dense. The bamboo leaves sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, like a natural piece of music. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, forming mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to the bamboo forest.

In the center of the bamboo garden is an ancient bamboo pavilion, in which is placed a stone table and several stone benches. On the stone table is a set of exquisite tea sets.

In a corner of the bamboo garden, there is a clear stream gurgling by. The gurgling sound of the stream and the rustling sound of the bamboo forest interweave into a beautiful symphony. By the stream, several stones of various shapes are placed randomly, as if inviting people to stop and rest and listen to the harmonious music of nature.

Cao Ze and his companions went straight to the pavilion in the center of the bamboo garden. Cao Ze closed his eyes and called out the panel.

Su Xiaozhi picked up the tea set on the table and started to make tea.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Fifteenth level of body forging
Fish-Dragon Transformation (Zang-Refining): Great Accomplishment (0/327680)

Snowfall Blade (Momentum): Minor Success (76/4000)

Wind Shadow Step (Stance): Entry (540/1600)

Five Elements Refining Internal Organs Technique (Heart): Fusion Degree (100%)

Love Point: 39305】

These days I have been concentrating on improving my cultivation, but the improvement of several technical skills has fallen behind.

There is a visualization diagram for the Wind Shadow Step, which is the visualization diagram inherited by the Yue family. The speed of improvement is extremely fast, so there is no need to rush.

As for Xue Luo Dao and Ji Cang Hai.

"Then, give me some!"

The bamboo forest rustled, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the bamboo garden.

Su Xiaozhi looked at Cao Ze who was sitting beside her with his eyes closed. She was no longer surprised. It goes without saying that her husband had a natural talent for cultivation and his comprehension was top-notch. She had seen her husband have such moments of enlightenment countless times.

Every time he has an epiphany, his husband's strength changes dramatically.

Brother Ze is truly a genius!

Cao Ze has lost his perception of the outside world. The world around him has once again been abstracted into lines. His view of the sea is automatically opened. Countless mysterious feelings rise and fall in his heart. He feels like he is floating in a sea of ​​joy, sometimes rushing to the top of the mountain, and sometimes falling into the valley.

Soon, he felt himself flying upwards again, and only then did he realize that the world he was in just now was actually those complicated lines.

It's clearly just a line, but it can perfectly contain his existence.

And his feeling of rising and falling is clearly the flow of those lines!

"I understand!"

That is the flow of momentum!

As soon as the thought came to mind, Cao Ze felt as if a flower bud was really blooming quietly in his mind. For a moment, countless wonderful feelings surged into his heart, and he even smelled a hint of fragrance at the tip of his nose.

“Is this the taste of Tao?”

Cao Ze opened his eyes in confusion, and then saw the tea that Su Xiaozhi had just brewed.

It turned out to be the scent of tea!
"Husband, try it!"

Su Xiaozhi looked at Cao Ze with bright eyes.

Cao Ze had a smile in his eyes. He seemed to hear the sound of tea leaves stretching in the water. He held the teacup lightly. Hot steam rose with a faint tea fragrance, as if bringing him into a quiet and profound world.

When you drink the tea, it tastes a little bitter at first, just like the setbacks and hardships in life, but then it becomes sweet and mellow, like a rainbow after a storm, giving you hope and strength. The tea flavor dances on the tip of your tongue, leaving a faint aftertaste in your throat, which makes people linger in the aftertaste.

Cao Ze doesn’t know much about tea, but even someone like him who doesn’t know much about tea can feel the goodness of truly good tea.

Now his sword moves of Ji Cang Hai and Xue Luo have been perfected.

Originally, Ji Canghai could instantly unleash the power of heaven and earth within a radius of fifty meters, delivering a powerful blow. Now, he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth within a radius of one hundred meters.

It seems that the radius has only doubled, but a hundred miles refers to up and down, left and right, front and back, and the difference is incalculable.

What's more, going one step further, even if it's just one step, is a huge difference between heaven and earth. A little higher is infinitely higher. What surprised him even more was that after the snow-falling sword power was perfected, he no longer needed to lay out the world's great power one sword at a time. He only needed to stand there to influence the surrounding world's great power and complete the accumulation of power.

He could also be like the Qi Refiner he met a few days ago, just standing there waiting and watching his enemy struggle powerlessly, and then using the final blow to cut off all hope of the opponent.

And with Ji Canghai's ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, he can now burst out a part of the power at any time, leaving an even more powerful trace.

Theoretically, you can even nest dolls infinitely, and finally explode with unlimited power.

Unfortunately, Cao Ze’s own strength is limited, and the power that the Snow Falling Sword can unleash has an upper limit after all.

"I really want to try how strong I am now!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Cao Ze suddenly looked up at the entrance of the courtyard.

In his perception, he felt that there was a mountain slowly moving towards him, steady and heavy, unstoppable.

He knew that Yue Lingke had returned!
But what he didn't expect was that even though his strength had improved so much, the oppressive feeling Yue Lingke gave him did not decrease at all.

He is indeed a genius that appears once in hundreds of years in Cape City!

"Not bad, that's quite a progress!"

Yue Lingke's eyes were slightly tired, but after seeing Cao Ze, that trace of fatigue was quickly replaced by excitement. He stretched out his hand to invite Cao Ze, "Come and try?"

"Please advise!"

Cao Ze had just improved his strength and was itching to show off his skills. Yue Lingke’s invitation was like someone offering a pillow to someone who was sleepy, so he naturally would not refuse.

After the last experience, Cao Ze didn't waste any words. He unsheathed the Meteoric Sword and swung it out with his hand.

All of a sudden, the bamboo leaves rustled, as if they were being pressed down by some invisible force.

The power of heaven and earth within a radius of 100 meters was mobilized by Cao Ze and instantly pressed towards Yue Lingke.

Yue Lingke stood with her hands behind her back. She could certainly compete with Cao Ze for the control over the world, but she didn't do so. She just stood there, letting Cao Ze do what he wanted.

"Not bad!"

Yue Lingke spoke softly. She could tell at a glance that Cao Ze's Canghai sword skills had improved again, and she couldn't help but nod secretly.

If Yuwen Qilong met the current Cao Ze, his Phoenix Nirvana secret technique might not be able to block even the first blow.

boom!
The long sword stopped three feet in front of Yue Lingke and could not move forward any further.

But with the help of this powerful recoil force, Cao Ze retreated, then rushed again at a faster speed and dealt another heavy blow.

boom!
There was a roar louder than before.

"Wind Shadow Step!"

Yue Lingke murmured something, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Although the Wind Shadow Step visualization diagram had been given to Cao Ze for more than half a year, Cao Ze would definitely not have had the time to comprehend the Wind Shadow Step in the Five Absolute Lands. From the time Cao Ze obtained the Wind Shadow Step visualization diagram to the time he entered the Five Absolute Lands, only one day had passed!

In other words, it only took Cao Ze one day to master the Wind Shadow Step.

What kind of insight is this?
What surprised her even more was that Cao Ze not only figured out the Wind Shadow Step, but was also able to integrate it into his own martial arts and use it with ease. This showed that he not only had excellent comprehension, but also had a fighting talent that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Is he really a genius!

Even though Cao Ze had previously demonstrated the fighting power of a half-step grandmaster, she had only admired him greatly. But now, she finally began to call Cao Ze a genius.

A twenty-year-old half-step grandmaster is very powerful, but with Yue Lingke's vision, he naturally knows that there are many such people in Donghai County and even more in Daqian.

But a true genius can grow at a speed you can't imagine as long as you give him enough resources.

Just like Cao Ze at this moment!
It's only been half a year, and there has been such an improvement!

For a moment, afterimages appeared in the courtyard. With the help of Wind Shadow Step, Cao Ze's attack became more tricky. His next knife might appear in any direction at any time, making it impossible to defend against it.

If he met an opponent of the same level, he would probably be sweating profusely.

And one sword is stronger than the other. This is the charm of Wind Shadow Step. It can borrow strength from every collision to increase the power of the next attack.

Even for someone as strong as Yue Lingke, under such a violent attack, the phantoms of the mountains around her also began to show cracks.

But her expression didn't change at all. She just stomped her feet lightly, and a new mountain shadow took shape again.

"So strong!"

Cao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly. He has been growing up over the years, and Yue Lingke has not been idle either.

He was full of confidence after his cultivation level improved, but he couldn't even force her to take action?
These thoughts only lasted for a brief moment before Cao Ze put them behind his mind and once again immersed all his attention in the attack.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Yue Lingke looked to the left and frowned slightly.

The moment she looked over, a bright sword light burst out, as if carrying the power of heaven and earth pressing towards Yue Lingke.

Although the mountains are solid, they cannot withstand the weight of heaven and earth.

Click!

The sword light has not yet touched the mountain.

The phantoms of the mountains around Yue Lingke had already begun to show cracks, making a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

puff!
The knife light passed through the shadow and finally penetrated within three feet in front of Yue Lingke for the first time.

All this happened in a flash, and Yue Lingke only raised his fist at this moment.

boom!
Swords and fists clashed.

A cloud of dust rose in the bamboo garden.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Yue Lingke was still standing there calmly, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, like a warrior immortal descending from the sky.

cough cough...

Cao Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Did it all fall short after all?"

He was not seriously injured, but his internal organs were shaken by the recoil force of his all-strength attack. After being repaired by the Wood Spirit Core, he has now recovered almost completely.

"Not bad!"

Yue Lingke put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly again.

Cao Ze didn't see that Yue Lingke's right hand, which was behind his back, was also trembling slightly!

"I'm a bit too arrogant!"

Yue Lingke secretly felt lucky. Even though she had to make the move at the last moment, her right hand still felt a little painful after blocking Cao Ze's attack in such a hurry.

She didn't expect that Cao Ze would be able to build up his strength and attack so quickly this time.

So, has the Snowfall Blade's sword moves also improved?

The sword's momentum is more condensed and the momentum builds up faster!
Yue Lingke was a little dazed.

How long has it been?

This kid actually already possesses the fighting power he had when he first became a Grandmaster!
She suddenly couldn't imagine what the scene would be like next time she competed with Cao Ze.

"Can he force himself to do it?"

Yue Lingke suddenly felt a little excited again.

Cao Ze was also thinking secretly, if he had activated the spirituality of the Meteoric Blade just now, it would have subtly influenced Yue Lingke, and then suddenly activated the spiritual power of the blade to impact Yue Lingke's soul, causing her to be dizzy for a few breaths, and then took the opportunity to explode, perhaps he could really hurt her.

But after all, it's a competition, so there's no need to use this method.
