Bang! Bang! Bang! Lou Cheng only used his left hand, alternating between Abrupt Punch and Flick Finger to release flames to deplete the heat flow in his body.
After a full five minutes, he finally felt the heat flow that had fused into the fine parts of his body dry up. The Jindan in his lower abdomen began to expand and contract, slowly rotating and splitting into strands of power.
This power balanced ice and fire, quickly soothing Lou Cheng's fatigue, but it didn't help replenish the heat flow.
Lou Cheng knew it was a critical moment. He endured the involuntary spasms and strange exhaustion of his body and continued to activate his supernatural ability. He shook his left arm again and punched forward with Abrupt Punch.
Bang!
Amid the vigorous and hurried sound, his mind suddenly buzzed. He automatically fell into a strange state of Inward Vision, reflecting the Jindan that was like a miniature starry sky.
With a whoosh, Lou Cheng saw a "star" fly out from the surface of the "starry sky", shaking out a "flame". Then he felt his palm slightly hot. His eyes were filled with flames, and a layer of crimson appeared on the surface of the lake.
The crimson flame struggled for a while before finally extinguishing slowly.
Unlike the time when he fought Ye Youting, he was now using his supernatural ability to release the power of the Jindan without reservation. He wasn't using his internal force to attack the enemy through visualization, so his performance was relatively more exaggerated.
When the rolling flames dissipated, the surface of the lake was calm again, except for a few floating dead branches and leaves. Inside Lou Cheng's body, the Jindan suddenly shrank and threw out another ice crystal to achieve balance.
The ice crystal quickly expanded into a cold current, sweeping through his blood vessels and meridians, and spreading to every corner of Lou Cheng's body.
At this moment, Lou Cheng felt completely frozen, like an ice sculpture. Even his heartbeat slowed down.
Damn, the backlash is still so scary … he thought sluggishly.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard the thumping of his heartbeat. It was like the sound of thunder that bid farewell to the ice and woke him up from his frozen state of mind.
Immediately after, Lou Cheng felt his heart beating vigorously, spurting out blood that was full of vitality. The blood flowed throughout his body, dispelling the coldness. The marrow inside his bones cooperated with this process.
In less than a minute, Lou Cheng was completely freed from his frozen state. He could feel the benefits of his body becoming stronger. Furthermore, he could clearly sense that after resisting and fusing with the "frost", his physical fitness had vaguely improved to a certain extent.
Come to think of it, when he first awakened his fire ability, there was also such a change. It was just that he had neglected this point due to his high fever and weakness.
No wonder the strength of his physical body had exceeded his expectations in the past month!
Yep, this was also very normal. His own body was already able to adapt to the scorching "flow of fire", so it would be unreasonable if it didn't improve at all!
Lou Cheng thought for a moment and felt his body was still weak. Cold seeped continuously from his bones, making him shiver. He just wanted to wrap himself in layers of thick quilts.
Compared to the feeling of being on the verge of death last time, this time, it only reminded him of the experience of being sick when he was young.
Turning around, Lou Cheng took out the down jacket he had prepared and began to examine himself. He wanted to see if he had awakened the supernatural ability of frost. He wanted to see if the frost and flames would cancel each other out, resulting in the tragedy of returning to the state before the release.
While he was inspecting, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and joy.
The cold flow and the hot flow mixed with each other, forming a delicate balance that blended into the fine details of his body.
Taking a deep breath, Lou Cheng shook his left arm abruptly and used One-inch Punch again. At the same time, he activated the cold flow of frost.
Bam!
There was no thin ice or snowflakes on the surface of his fist.
Lou Cheng wasn't disappointed. Instead, he fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he suddenly slapped the nearest boulder with his palm.
Bam! He pressed his palm against the boulder and slowly lifted it, revealing a patch of cold white frost that outlined the shape of his left hand!
Seeing the white frost melting rapidly, Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully. He had a rough idea of how to use the supernatural ability of frost.
Currently, it wasn't strong enough to be released externally. However, it could be infused with his own strength, allowing his punches and kicks to be infused with frost. There was no need for additional "ignition" actions.
Different supernatural abilities had different characteristics.
This kind of frost wouldn't be of much use in actual combat for the time being. However, Lou Cheng believed that when it was mixed with the similar force of the Ice Sect, it would have a surprising effect.
"Phew. When my arm recovers next week, I'll report to Master that I've awakened the supernatural ability of frost. Hehe. Let's see how he reacts and what plans he has …" Lou Cheng tightened his down jacket, picked up the bag, and walked to the cafeteria, shivering.
He urgently needed a cup of hot milk.
As for the second wave of awakening, Lou Cheng didn't dare to try it for the time being. So far, it had only affected the surface of the Jindan. If he lost control again, it was very likely that it would affect the insides of the Jindan. The power and backlash would be far greater than before. It was better to wait until his body reached a certain limit and his martial arts level stepped into the Danqi stage before making a decision.
In the cafeteria, Lou Cheng carried the hot porridge, steamed buns, eggs, and milk to the table where he and Yan Zheke usually ate together.
Their backs were against the supporting pillars, creating a relatively quiet environment with few people.
He put down the plate and took a sip of the milk. He felt the warmth flowing down his throat, soothing his stomach and reducing the coldness in his body.
"So comfortable …" Lou Cheng sighed with satisfaction and took another sip of the hot porridge.
At this moment, he saw Yan Zheke walking over with a plate from the corner of his eye. There were soy milk, fried dough sticks, and white steamed buns on the plate. The girl's charming figure was like a scenery in the cafeteria.
"Hey, Cheng, you're done so early today?" Yan Zheke was quite surprised to see her boyfriend at this time. Then she found that Lou Cheng's condition was not right. She hurriedly asked with concern, "Are you sick?"
"No." Lou Cheng's shivering had eased a lot. He smiled and said, "Let me tell you a secret."
He felt warm because he and Yan Zheke had tacitly chosen this table at the same time.
To be able to meet like this in several cafeterias, among the endless stream of students, it was not just fate!
Yan Zheke put down the plate and sat beside Lou Cheng. She looked at him suspiciously and said, "What secret? You don't look well. Shall I accompany you to see a doctor? "
Lou Cheng leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "I wanted to practice my supernatural ability this morning, so I tried it by the lake. When I was about to reach the limit, I suddenly awakened the supernatural ability of frost. My face looks bad because of the backfire, but it's much better than last time. It's not a big deal."
He saw that under the invasion of his breath, the girl's ears gradually turned red, crystal clear and cute.
"You awakened your supernatural ability again?" Yan Zheke's pink lips were half open, showing her white teeth. Her clear eyes were full of surprise and confusion, looking like a dazed girl.
"I don't know why … Maybe it's the way of balance between ice and fire. I don't think there will be any awakening in the future …" Lou Cheng explained.
To be honest, every time he lied to the girl, he felt a little guilty. But the matter of the Jindan was related to his life. Telling her would only put pressure on her and make her feel uneasy.
I hope to digest the Jindan as soon as possible and let the power truly belong to me. Then I won't feel guilty.
Yan Zheke had seen too many "miracles" from her boyfriend, so she quickly recovered and blurted out, "Why are you practicing your supernatural ability for no reason? Even if you want to practice, you should do it in front of Coach Shi. If the backfire is too serious, there will be someone to help you! If something happens to you, I, I … "
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red, and there seemed to be waves of light on the surface of her eyes.
Lou Cheng gently bit his lower lip, reached out his hand, and held the girl's soft hand. "I won't do it next time. I'll take good care of myself! I'll consider more thoroughly! "
At this moment, he felt a sense of responsibility. His life no longer belonged to himself and his family …
Yan Zheke took a breath, suddenly shook off his hand, and hummed, "Do you want to freeze me to death? Your hand is so cold! "
"It's the residue of the supernatural ability of frost. It can help you relieve the heat in summer." Lou Cheng smiled fawningly.
Yan Zheke calmed down, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously, "You don't need to 'light the fire'?"
"I don't need the supernatural ability of frost. Wherever I want to be cold, it'll be cold." Lou Cheng said with a little pride.
Yan Zheke pushed the freshly made hot soy milk to him, pursed her lips and smiled. "Then you can cool it down. It's too hot. I can't eat it!"
"Okay." Lou Cheng held the soy milk cup with his left hand, operating a weak cold current.
There seemed to be a change in his body. It was constantly producing "frost", maintaining a delicate balance with "flame".
After a while, Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand away. There was a layer of frost on the surface of the soy milk cup, but it disappeared in a flash.
"The temperature should be okay …" He touched the cup and gave it to Yan Zheke, waiting for her evaluation.
Yan Zheke took a sip, nodded and smiled. "It's just right. Your supernatural ability is quite useful!"
Lou Cheng didn't expect to use his supernatural ability first, but he felt a sense of achievement. At least he had coaxed the girl into a happy mood!
"It's good that you like it." He smiled and said, "By the way, have you finished watching the video sent by Coach Shi yesterday?"
The video was about the opponent in the weekend preliminaries.
"Finished. What about you?" Speaking of this, Yan Zheke suddenly became excited. She was the first substitute and had a chance to go on stage.
Lou Cheng's shivering had stopped, but his body was still a little weak. He smiled and said, "Of course I finished watching. And I also found out something else."
Although he couldn't go on stage, because it was related to Yan Zheke, he worked harder than if he went on stage himself!
"What is it?" Yan Zheke asked curiously.
Lou Cheng chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate 'Dream Squad' just because it's an amateur team. Their players are all second or third generation martial artists. Especially the three main players of Amateur First Pin. They all have high-ranked Dan stage elders in their families. They are the top group in Songcheng's martial arts circle."
Yan Zheke didn't have any fear of high-ranked Dan stage martial artists. She said with interest, "And then?"
She drank a mouthful of soy milk and took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick. She looked at Lou Cheng like a child listening to a story.
"You may not believe it, but they formed the Dream Squad to participate in the preliminaries because of jealousy. Jiang Dingyi and Feng Shaokun both liked Qian Ruoyu, who grew up together. They almost turned against each other. But Qian Ruoyu's attitude was very ambiguous. She didn't say anything. In the end, she pulled them to gather friends and formed a squad. She said it was to see who would perform better in this preliminaries."
Lou Cheng said. Yan Zheke almost spat out the soy milk. She covered her mouth and said, "Is there anyone who is so picky? I feel like she is still a little girl …"
"She is older than you by half a year. You are the little girl." Lou Cheng laughed.
"Humph, it depends on the mental age!" Yan Zheke wrinkled her nose and asked in confusion, "How do you know all this?"
"There is a local in our dormitory. He is quite well-informed. I asked him specifically." Lou Cheng told her the truth.
For "Coach Yan", he had done his homework.
Yan Zheke's eyes curved, showing her dimples. She looked to the side and said, "At least you didn't forget me!"
Lou Cheng finished the steamed bun quickly and drank the milk. He continued, "Qian Ruoyu's family's martial arts originated from Tai Chi, which is similar to your grandfather's. Jiang Dingyi's grandfather is famous for his knife skills. But because weapons are not allowed in the Challenge Tournament, he created a martial art that uses the knife skills in the palm. Feng Shaokun is good at the Tiger and Crane Double Form and the Modern Blast Punch …"
"I watched the videos and thought I could imitate them. I will talk to Coach Shi during this time. I will be your sparring partner for half an hour at the end of the special training every day so that you can get used to their fighting style."
Yan Zheke puffed up her cheeks and looked to the side with a blush.
"Okay …"
She didn't object to the sparring partner during the daily special training.
They talked and ate breakfast and gradually came to an end. Suddenly, Yan Zheke looked at the big clock in the cafeteria and exclaimed,
"It's almost eight o 'clock. We are going to be late!"
"Yeah …" Lou Cheng followed her gaze and saw that it was already 7: 54.
Yan Zheke was so angry that she pinched him gently.
"It's all your fault. I am not usually late!"
Lou Cheng smiled and felt sweet. He held her hand and said, "Hurry up, we still have time!"
The two left in a hurry and ran to the martial arts arena. They finally arrived at the arena with less than ten seconds to spare.
Yan Zheke caught her breath and glanced at Lou Cheng. Their eyes met and she felt warm and sweet at once.
Even if it was just a small thing, she felt so happy.
…
In the next few days, Lou Cheng lived his life step by step, except that he was Yan Zheke's sparring partner. As for the cave of Longhu Immortal, he didn't hear Geezer Shi mention it again, but he didn't dare to ask about it.
In the blink of an eye, Saturday came. Songcheng University Martial Arts Club was going to host the "Dream Squad" at 3: 00 p.m.
Because it was just actual combat training and there was no professional main force this time, Songcheng University's publicity department didn't do any promotion for this competition and didn't inform the whole school. The audience was expected to be very small.
Lou Cheng took a nap and was about to go to Yan Zheke's dormitory building to go to the martial arts arena with her when he suddenly received a call from Geezer Shi.
"Brat, something came up and I can't come this afternoon." Geezer Shi said casually, "You will be the coach today."
"What? I will be the coach?" Lou Cheng was shocked.
Geezer Shi laughed and said, "In this kind of competition, you can even tie a dog to be the coach. What are you afraid of? Okay, I am hanging up. You can arrange the order of appearance at your discretion. "
Master, don't be so irresponsible! Lou Cheng was about to say something when he heard the beeping sound.
Damn, I am a wounded person. How did I become the coach? He was at a loss and suddenly thought of something.
Could it be that his friend had discovered the Longhu Immortal's cave and had invited him to help out?
