Bang... Bang... The thick demonic energy of Little White was like a large iron ball, swinging between Hao Ren's arms. When this demonic energy penetrated Hao Ren's chest, it almost made him feel suffocated.
Hao Ren's Sword Shadow Spectrum Technique could release spirit energy outside his body and integrate with heaven and earth, while what he was doing now was guiding Little White’s demonic energy to form a "Grand Circulation" outside the demon beast's body.
The path of cultivation is external tranquility and internal movement. Though it appears as if one is sitting still, in reality, the yin-yang energies within the body are ceaselessly circulating. The more lively the spirit energy, the smoother its communication with heaven and earth; thus, one can achieve a higher realm.
The so-called Body Transformation Technique is actually the修煉之道，外靜內動。看似打坐不動，其實身體裡的天地之氣運轉不停。靈力越是活潑，與天地溝通越順暢，達到的境界就越高。
所謂的《化形訣》其實就是妖獸的修煉功法，隻是小白還未開啟靈智，需要郝仁進行“代練”。The Body Transformation Technique is actually the cultivation method of a demonic beast. Little White has yet to awaken its divine intelligence, so it needs Hao Ren to practice on its behalf.
Harmony and Infinity! The Dao is boundless!
The demon core within Little White was an extremely pure third-stage demonic beast's inner nucleus, therefore her demonic energy was also very pure. For human cultivators, the demon cores of demonic beasts are great supplements; especially those from third-stage demonic beasts which are incredibly precious.
By helping Little White connect her meridians, Hao Ren was actually enriching his own.
The inner nuclei of high-level cultivators are materials that they fiercely compete for. This is because the bloodline of demonic beasts is closer to the divine beasts of ancient times; their demon cores have energy far surpassing what a cultivator would normally condense themselves. The higher the level of the demonic beast, the more ancient bloodline it possesses, and thus its demon core becomes even more valuable.
Little White was a Grade C demonic beast, with a relatively low concentration of divine beast ancestry in her body, but when she fully released her demon core energy, it was still quite substantial.
Closing his eyes, Hao Ren pushed the five-element spirit energy within his body to its peak. In response, Little White's demon core spun out some demonic flames and her demonic energy became even more potent.
If Hao Ren’s meridians were like a sophisticated array formation, then those in Little White’s body also formed a complete array. Currently using the Body Transformation Technique was akin to connecting two arrays; spirit energy and demonic energy flowed through both of them.
In essence, there is no fundamental difference between spirit energy and demonic energy; they are both derived from the quintessence of yin-yang energies in heaven and earth. Both resolve into five elements. This mysterious fusion technique brought new vitality to Hao Ren's body.
Similarly, Little White’s pure demonic energy became even clearer after this exchange.
The Body Transformation Technique is the cultivation method for demonic beasts; by helping Little White practice it, Hao Ren was expelling impurities from her body and improving its constitution so that her divine beast bloodline would be more apparent. In theory, if all the impurities within Little White’s body were eliminated, she could restore her ancient bloodline and become a divine beast!
In his office, it seemed as though starlight was scattering everywhere, Hao Ren entered the deepest state of cultivation; every pore in his body opened up, expelling the filth within as Little White's bloodline purified.
Being able to nurture spiritual beasts means that at this moment, Hao Ren and Little White truly reached the relationship between master and spirit pet.
"Huff..."
Hao Ren exhaled a long breath and slowly retracted his numb hands.
Little White was so comfortable she nearly fell asleep; feeling Hao Ren’s hands leave her, she immediately shook her head awake from the table, opened her large black eyes, and nuzzled up to Hao Ren, biting affectionately at one of his fingers.
Hao Ren had exhausted himself by going through Little White's meridians, but their bond became even closer. Though it couldn't be said that there was a fundamental change after just one Body Transformation Technique, she felt completely refreshed and revitalized throughout her body, with her demon core having more abundant demonic energy.
Hao Ren's clothes were covered with a layer of black grease, which was the result of him using the Shaping Technique on Little White and simultaneously clearing his own meridians.
The Sword Spectrum Art could emit sword light, but up until now, Hao Ren had primarily focused on absorbing靈氣and had never actively cleansed impurities from his body—nor did he know how to do so.
Now that he had expended a significant amount of靈力, the refreshing effect was quite noticeable. The靈力in his body could flow more smoothly through even the tiniest branches of his meridians, giving him a sensation akin to reinstalling an operating system on a computer used for years, restoring it to its original state.
Hao Ren took off his shirt and washed it in the water basin beside him, then wrung it dry before putting it back on.
Little White wagged its tail and stood at the edge of the table, tilting its head as it looked gratefully at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren pulled back the curtains to see that night had already fallen. Unconsciously, he had spent over seven or eight hours on Little White’s meridians!
The time was now 9:30 PM—half an hour past his agreed-upon duel with Xu Ke.
"Let's go!" Hao Ren opened the office window and tossed out Little White, then swiftly conjured up a red barrier.
Little White hovered in mid-air, holding golden flames in its tiny paws. As soon as Hao Ren jumped out of the window, it transformed into a snow lion, carrying him towards the north practice field at high speed.
In the soccer field beside the swimming pool, which also served as a practice ground, over five hundred calligraphy club members stood around the track in a circle.
Xu Ke was wearing shorts and running shoes with a checkered shirt, standing in the middle of the practice field.
Hao Ren took out a Fourth Rank Qi-Replenishing Pill from his芥子space and swallowed it; his靈力was instantly restored to full.
"Here he comes! Here he comes!"
The calligraphy club members shouted excitedly as they saw Hao Ren arrive.
Most of them were seeing Little White in its snow lion form for the first time. Seeing Little White’s four paws, each thick and blazing with flames as it approached from mid-air, was quite a sight to behold.
If not for their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed that the usually cute little white beast who made girls scream "kawaii" would be so imposing in combat mode.
Moreover, most of these cultivators dared not fight against such a powerful demonic beast as Little White.
Bang!
Little White landed on the practice field, causing the ground to tremble as if a truck weighing several tons had just driven past.
A paw with this kind of weight and power could send an ordinary cultivator flying out dozens of meters upon contact.
"Little White, go stand over there." Hao Ren stepped onto the practice field and pointed to its side.
The white puppy scratched its nose with its paw, transforming into a small dog about the size of a palm. It ran to the perimeter of the training field, resembling a rolling white furball and stood at Lu Qi’s feet.
The young cultivators watching the white puppy no longer dared to underestimate this "little dog."
"Senior Brother, I've been waiting for you," Xu Ke said earnestly as he looked at Hao Ren.
His tone was neither mocking nor challenging; even a hint of complaint was absent from his voice.
"I'm late." Hao Ren waved dismissively without offering an explanation.
He observed the training field, noticing that every half meter of grass contained either a black or white game piece. This clearly marked out a medium-sized array formation set up by Lu Qi.
Hao Ren was surprised to learn that Lu Qi had some knowledge of array formations and felt that this made Lu Qi an even greater talent.
The array formation surrounding the training field served as a barrier, much like the one erected during sparring matches. However, its larger area allowed for more unrestrained movements.
Hao Ren looked at Lu Qi, took a few steps back and gently raised both hands.
Soon after, 160 white sword beams gradually appeared around Hao Ren’s body.
"Wow, that's amazing…"
"That must be the ‘Infinite Sword Light’ technique…"
"They say Senior Brother Hao uses this in Dragon God Temple…"
Variety of amazed exclamations and discussions spread among the 500 cultivators around the training field.
Dragon God Temple opened its barrier for three days around the Dragon Boat Festival, but not everyone could enter. Those participating in the imperial examination were all excellent cultivators from different dragon palaces, while those accompanying a few elders of their dragon palace to watch the matches were also outstanding cultivators. Most of these young cultivators surrounding the training field had never seen Hao Ren’s performance inside Dragon God Temple.
The sword beams orbited around Hao Ren slowly spinning as it was getting dark, and the light in the training field came from street lamps outside. The 160 sword beams were therefore especially dazzling.
"Go!" Hao Ren made a sword formation gesture, sending all 160 sword beams towards Xu Ke’s position.
Many of the cultivators around the training field had never seen sword qi condensed into sword beams for attack before. They widened their eyes in astonishment.
Xu Ke, standing a hundred meters away from Hao Ren, lightly tapped his right hand and a golden disk appeared in mid-air.
"Ah! Life-bound treasure!"
One of the cultivators at the training field’s edge shouted. Only life-bound treasures could appear at will from one's body.
Hao Ren's 160 sword beams hit the disk and turned into fine white light.
Just when the cultivators around were lamenting Hao Ren’s sword beams being consumed like this, suddenly another 160 sword beams appeared around Xu Ke!
The spiritual energy did not dissipate; neither did the sword beams vanish!
Hao Ren's released sword beams could reform instantly even if they shattered.
He had already reached the middle grade Geng level. His control over sword beams was as unpredictable as a god, and if he encountered a cultivator who didn't know his capabilities for the first time, Hao Ren could form an instant fatal strike by hiding his sword beams!
All 160 of these sword beams were parallel to the ground with their tips pointing at Xu Ke, forming a dense circle.
"We're surrounded!"
The cultivators around the arena couldn't help but shout excitedly. They were now following Hao Ren and naturally hoped for him to be as powerful as possible.
But with these two effortless moves from Hao Ren, they realized that they couldn't compete against him, feeling how formidable he truly was.
However, how could they have imagined that Hao Ren was just testing Xu Ke and hadn’t unleashed his full strength yet
The sword beams quickly rotated into an indistinguishable white disk before suddenly slicing towards Xu Ke's chest!
"Senior Brother, I still need to review my studies. Let’s get serious and stop playing around with me."
Xu Ke raised his right hand slightly upward; a golden disk then expanded rapidly and covered his entire body, blocking Hao Ren’s sword beams.
Formation of One-Word Serpent Array!
The sword beams that had been repelled by the golden shield suddenly formed a line, resembling 160 arrows fired continuously from a powerful crossbow, thrusting towards Xu Ke!
The young cultivators around were shocked; such sword beams piercing their bodies would definitely result in large holes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xu Ke took three steps back, but the golden shield still held its ground against Hao Ren’s sword beams.
Even so, his external spiritual energy was still fluctuating, making it impossible for Hao Ren to discern his cultivation realm. This must be the effect of this shield-shaped magic treasure!
The One-Word Serpent Array formed by 160 sword beams could penetrate even a Core Formation cultivator relying on magical treasures in the Fifth Firmament Realm, but Xu Ke was able to withstand it!
"If you win, Senior Brother, I’ll give this magic treasure to you; if not, please return me a copy of your sword beam technique!"
Xu Ke smiled as golden light suddenly shone from the shield-shaped magical treasure.Ren to spend two more months in America while they could entertain him well, which was also a way of showing their gratitude for what the Huo family had done for Xie Yujia in Dōnghǎi City.Of course, w...
