The Ancient Rare Phoenix: Colourful Flames - Chapter 35
Just like that everyday Hou started to follow these routine however he never took a step inside the 2nd and 3rd floor.
After 3 months of his hard work, he finally reached at Peak Stage Mortal Origin Realm.
Today like always after coming back from the clan library, he went inside the training room. Mother Bing was waiting for him as usual however the water in the pool was dark red in colour reeking blood. It was filled in with the blood of different High Stage Mortal Origin Realm fire spirit beasts.
Hou didn’t ask anything and directly entered after undressing himself. However this time mother Bing stopped Lily from entering and waited outside with her.
Once he reached in the middle part, he began to meditate following through the Rhythm Heartbeat technique.
Each heart beat, he gathered the fire Qi from every parts of his body toward his dantain then refined the fire Qi there. Afterward on next heart beat he released all the fire Qi from inside his dantain toward every parts of his body.
Once he complete full one cycle of refining process, he started to breath smoothly and all the refined fire Qi slowly in every heart beat gathered back inside his dantian. It speedily gathered at the spot in the centre before slowly forming core like a whirlpool rotating counter-clockwise.
While Hou was forming the core inside his dantian, all the blood water inside the pool seep into his body. Before long it was only left with crystal-clear water in the pool.
Finally an hour later Hou formed the core inside his dantian and successfully breaking into the Early Stage Spirit Origin Realm.
He opened his eyes and started to check his body. He felt he could easily and speedily release his fire Qi in his hands than before. After that he looked at mother Bing and Lily who were very happy with his break through then he started grinning.
After that, Next day Hou arrogantly burst into the 4th Floor however like always he got smack down by Discipline Zan till he remained motionless for a while. Before leaving he maliciously glared at both grand elder Wu and Discipline Zan.
Like that another 8 months went, At the late night finally he reached at Peak Stage Spirit Origin Realm.
Next day, he once again arrogantly went into the 4th floor before getting a cold sweat behind his back. He saw there were two more youth standing beside Zan. He tried to escape but grand elder Wu caught him before he could then started to get the beating till he stayed motionless like always. Lily picked him up before leaving toward 5th floor.
At the 5th floor, watching Hou looking so miserable, grand elder Shui giggled before letting him rest. Once he was done, he finally opened his mouth.
” Old hag, Since you’re so proficient at attribute skill, teach me a skill to defend myself using fire Qi. ”
” Little brat, so you finally found what you were missing all this time. ” said the grand elder Shui.
Grand elder Shui stood up and walk toward the open space. She started to slowly gather water Qi around her before materializing it into the heavy armor. This heavy armor looked just like a metal armor instead was crystallized water. Once she was done, she cunningly said.
” little brat, come punch at the armor as hard as you can muster ”
Hou exciting ran seeing how easily she created armor with her water Qi. When he came in front her, then he took a step with his left leg before weighting his force at his right arm then smashing his fists at the armor.
However as soon as he hit at the armor, his face started to twist in pain before he went down on the ground. He started wailing and howling while cursing at the grand elder Shui.
” you old hag, you tricked me into this, didn’t you? Once I am powerful enough, I’ll smash that armor and you into pieces.”
” Stupid brat, Lesson no.1 Never physically engage in combat against someone using attribute Qi. Your physical strength isn’t enough to handle it. ” Grand Elder Shui sneered and ignored his insult totally before lecturing him.
” Lesson no.2 Always use attribute Qi or weapon to combat against someone using attribute Qi. if you cannot use any of those then you better escape.”
” Now let’s talk about the armor that I materialized. As you know, once cultivator is highly proficient at controlling their attribute Qi. They can use it by forming thin invisible protective coating Qi around their body to protect them. However that is not enough to defend against strong cultivator. So here comes the armor. This armor is called Armor Qi materialized by highly concentrated pure Qi from the core inside dantain. This armor can easily withstand the attack of the same Stage Realm cultivator. If somehow it shattered, I’ll just have to create new one just like discarding old armor then getting new one. ”
” However cultivator have different attribute thus can create different kind of Armor Qi. As for you, since you have fire Qi, you can also create armor Qi looking just like fire. If you create it, you can with stand attack from below your realm easily as the fire Qi will absorb all the attack without getting damage on your body. However the attack of someone with same or higher Stage Realm you’ll have to withstand it with your physical body too. So for the fire attributor, its best use would be creating weapon Qi. ”
Saying that she quickly form a weapon in her hand. It was also crystallized water form into a sword.
She looked at hou and saw his eyes sparkling brightly, she knew he was totally immerse into this while trying to digest all the information. Then she started to explain how to form it.
” I’ll start with forming the invisible protective coating Qi around the body. First you’ll have to refine your core Qi inside your dantain again. Once it is refined and turned into purer Qi, slowly flow it outside your body before coating with it around your whole body. Once you completely coat with it around your body then you successfully form the invisible protective coating Qi. You can withstand it against anyone under Mortal Origin Realm attack or surrounding climate like heat, cold, rain. ”
” Next we’ll talk about forming Armor Qi, This process is also same. After you flow out the purer Qi from your core, you’ll need surround it around only your upper body before forming into the armor. However you’ll need enormous amount of that purer Qi to form into the armor Qi. ”
” As for Weapon Qi, This process is also same. just like the same say, flow out the pure Qi from your core around your hand then form into a shape of a weapon. You’ll need to concentrate extremely into the detail and keep it stable so it doesn’t break out easily. ”
” However powerful cultivator doesn’t just use attribute Qi but also uses weapon and armor. ”
Here she paused then moved at the corner of the hall and picked a old armor and a sword from the shelves. After she wore it, she came in front Hou. Then she pointed at the middle part at the armor and the handle of the sword and carefully explained it.
” Little brat, First look at this old armor. There is a formation placed in the middle of the chest part that is core of the armor. Every part in this armor is forged by the rare gems and kept as source of the formation. You’ll need to get your Qi to activate and keep flowing your Qi in it and can also form armor Qi around it to boost it to higher level. If you have higher grade Armor then you can even survive the attack from high Realm experts. Though you’ll need tremendous amount of Qi just to activate it and keep it running.”
” As for this sword, there is a formation placed at the handle. you’ll need to flow your Qi toward the formation to activate and keep flowing for using its effect. While you can also use high grade weapon to kill above your Realm expert, however amount of QI you need to flow requires tremndous and in some cases high grade weapon would just suck your Qi dry before you can activate and kill you. So always remember not to bite off more than you can actually chew.”
Saying that she activated both armor and sword showing their effects with her attribute qi. Then quietly left him alone to comphend everything.
Next day, Hou went to the Clan vault and stole a shinning red armor and a black dagger. The shinning red armor was Red Stone Armor High Rank 4 Origin Mortal Grade, its effect was only to protect heart from anyone below Sky Origin Realm and the black dagger was Dark Horn High Rank 5 Origin Mortal Grade, was sharp enough to cut any below Low Rank 5 Heavenly Mortal Grade Diamond and its effect depended on attribute of the user.
Then returned back to his courtyard.
After returning, Hou never stepped out of his courtyard and started to practise forming armor Qi and weapon Qi while he did meditate with Lily on the medicine pool in the training room.
Finally after 10 months of hard work and painful failures, he successfully formed to materialize armor Qi and weapon Qi.
Next day Hou wearing Red Stone Armor and holding Dark Horn in his body proudly headed toward the clan library. While he was walking, he put aloof attitude around all those disciplines and elders who were staring at him. Meanwhile Lily behind him was giggling seeing his act inwardly.
Finally Hou and Lily entered the 4th floor. Just like before grand elder Wu, discipline Zan and 2 more disciplines were waiting for him. Before they could speak, Hou already entered the training spot and pointed his dagger at those disciplines.
Disciplines helplessly could only enter and surrounded him to give a beating for rest of his day. Without saying anything, Hou quickly activated armor Qi and weapon Qi and charged at them.
However a big hand stopped him in the mid air before plummeting on the ground. Grand elder Wu appeared in front of him and sneered.
” Little brat, who told you can use attribute Qi here? Did that old wench Shui teach to this? or did you get tricked into learning? aha aha stupid brat. ”
Saying that he took the dagger and passed it to Lily while motioning the disciplines to beat the shit out of him again.
Finally after a heavy beating, Hou stormed while dragging his weak body and madly fuming into the 5th floor. He loudly cursed before he could enter inside.
” Old hag, get out right now or I’ll skin your already skinny hides. ”
However no one was there, he searched around everywhere in the hall for few then he left while still raging and feeling distress.
After he left the hall, Grand elder Shui slowly appeared out the wall and started to laugh loudly.
