Such heavy boots... Zhang Yuanqing's forehead beaded with sweat. From Fu Qingyang's slightly trembling arms, he guessed that this item wasn't light.
But he hadn't expected them to be this heavy, directly crushing his arm bones.
That's not right, if the boots are this heavy, why didn't Fu Qingyang remind me...? Zhang Yuanqing looked up and saw a hint of mischief hidden in Fu Qingyang's cold expression.
So petty, still angry about the "disgrace" incident.
"Ah, these boots are as light as a feather in the hands of a Centurion, but weigh a ton in mine. I am indeed miles away from the Centurion," Zhang Yuanqing exclaimed loudly.
Hearing this, Fu Qingyang nodded slightly, "Put them in your inventory. After you recognize them as yours, they will become heavy in the general sense. Before that, you can't even lift them."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, but didn't immediately store the boots, because at that moment, the item's attribute description appeared:
【Name: Hou Tu Boots】 【Type: Footwear】
【Function: Mountain God (Incomplete); Deadly Kick】
【Introduction: These shoes are made of Holy Mountain silk, light and thin as a feather, and resistant to blades. They were buried in the Holy Mountain for thirty-three years, absorbing the earth's dragon vein energy and refining the essence of all directions. They are named: Hou Tu Boots.】
【Note 1: They are one of the components of the Heaven Worship attire. The remaining three pieces are: Crown, Robe, Belt. It is said that gathering the four-piece set can unlock the secret of immortality.】
【Note 2: Wear them, and from now on you will be an honest person, with your feet firmly planted on the ground.】
【Note 3: As everyone knows, honest people have good endurance.】
Mountain God... I remember the Mountain God is the class name after the Earth Controller's job change. Incomplete means it only possesses part of the Mountain God's abilities... Notes 2 and 3 are obviously the price, right? The words "honest person" make me a little nervous...
Zhang Yuanqing's mind flickered, and he stored the Hou Tu Boots that were pressing on his arm into the inventory, completing the recognition process.
The next second, the Hou Tu Boots were summoned from the inventory, landing on the carpet with a thud.
Zhang Yuanqing, with his arms drooping, raised his left foot, and without taking off his shoes, probed into the opening of the Hou Tu Boot. The opening expanded on its own, easily accommodating his left foot.
Wearing them isn't as convenient as the Red Dancing Shoes, but it's still okay... Zhang Yuanqing put on the right boot in the same way.
The moment he put on these boots, he naturally understood the function and effect of the Hou Tu Boots, and also understood the price.
First is the Deadly Kick, which gathers the power of the earth in the legs and can unleash a blow of the Saint realm, usable only three times a day.
With this ability alone, I can kill ordinary Extraordinary ones in seconds. Well, only in a pure physical confrontation... Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed.
Second is the Mountain God. The Mountain God has two abilities in total:
One, absorb the essence of the earth's veins.
Absorbing the essence of the earth's veins is converted into a continuous supply of stamina. This is why Earth Controllers have endless endurance.
As long as you stand on the earth, you won't get tired even after fighting for three days and three nights. If only the donkeys in the production team had this skill... Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.
Two, refine an area and become the "God" of that area. The name Mountain God comes from this. But the ideal area to choose is a deep mountain, because in this way the Mountain God can use the terrain to cope with enemies even higher than his own level.
The next best is flat ground, and the worst is the city.
"It sounds just like the Mountain Gods in myths and legends. Then will there be Water Gods? In addition, refining an area and the Yin-Yang Robe's water and fire formation can complement each other," Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.
As for the Deadly Kick, in terms of the price, Note 1 has a total of two prices, one is an honest person, and the other is feet firmly planted on the ground.
The so-called honest person means that the temperament will become dull and honest. The most direct explanation is that one day Guan Ya asks him, "Did you peek at the little sister's chest today?"
Usually, Zhang Yuanqing would answer: "I only look at yours." But after putting on the Hou Tu Boots, his answer is: "I, I... I looked at several little sisters' (with a ashamed face). Another price is feet firmly planted on the ground.
Literally, in the state of wearing the Hou Tu Boots, the leaping range will be greatly reduced, basically limited to the ground.
Note 2 is both a price and an ability. The endurance mentioned here is not only physical strength, but also mental endurance, such as patience, the intensity of enduring pain, and the ability to endure provocations, etc.
At this time, Fu Qingyang on the side commented:
"The Hou Tu Boots are a good item. If you can make good use of the Mountain God's ability, you can compete with Zhao Chenghuang."
With Yuan Shi's current strength, he is actually a step behind Zhao Chenghuang.
Without that set of armor, Yuan Shi's Yin Corpse would be destroyed in a short time. At that time, Zhao Chenghuang would cooperate with the Yin Corpse to launch a siege, and Yuan Shi would undoubtedly be defeated.
Let’s try wearing the Yin-Yang Robe to see if there are any set skills... Zhang Yuanqing seemed not to hear Fu Qingyang’s words, and took out the Yin-Yang Robe from the item bar.
Since it is a set, there must be a bonus between the parts, otherwise it would not be called a set.
But whether this bonus will appear only when the set is collected, or as long as two pieces are reached, Zhang Yuanqing is not sure.
Whoosh~
The robe spread out and draped over his shoulders.
Zhang Yuanqing sensed carefully for a moment, and his face showed surprise.
As expected, there is a set skill. The skill is that when the Yin-Yang magic circle is unfolded, the water and fire clones will no longer be fire men and water bodies. The Hou Tu Boots will give the two clones physical entities--terracotta figures.
The bodies of the terracotta figures are indestructible and have great strength.
Zhang Yuanqing’s surprise lies in the fact that he has finally made up for the lack of output of the water and fire clones.
If he had the Hou Tu Boots during the arena competition, Zhang Yuanqing guarantees that he could beat Zhao Chenghuang so hard that he wouldn’t even recognize his great grandfather. 口
“This robe of yours is…”
Fu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
As a scout, he discerned the truth from Yuan Shi’s micro-expressions and the movement of taking out the robe.
Zhang Yuanqing did not hide anything: “This robe is a hidden item I got from Yin-Yang Town. It is one of the Heaven Worship sets, and so are the Hou Tu Boots.
思路客 (Si Lu Ke - a website name)
Fu Qingyang had already restrained his surprise and nodded slightly:
“No wonder you asked me to check the attributes of the Hou Tu Boots at the time. Sets are very rare. To date, the sets that we have collected and know about do not exceed ten sets. Each set is worth a fortune.
“Even the elders find it difficult to collect a complete set. Yuan Shi, you are very lucky.”
An uncontrollable smile appeared on Zhang Yuanqing’s face: “I plan to find a way to get the Heaven Worship set, so that I can use it until the Dominator realm.”
Fu Qingyang: “That’s difficult. Within the Five Elements Alliance, there are very few people who have collected a complete set. Each one is a prodigy.”
Zhang Yuanqing asked: “Who in our official organization has collected a complete set?”
Fu Qingyang: "Me." I shouldn't have asked. So that's what you were waiting for... Zhang Yuanqing bowed his head and worshiped: "Centurion is amazing! Under the Dominator, who else but you! Wait until the middle of the year, become a Dominator, step into the clouds, and dominate the Five Elements Alliance."
Fu Qingyang glanced at him: “You should rest first, reattach the broken bones, and stay here for lunch at noon.”
2 pm, arena.
Figures descended one after another, and the originally empty stands became crowded with people in two or three seconds, filled with black heads.
Zhang Yuanqing randomly appeared in a certain part of the stands, and did not recognize any of the official spirit realm walkers around him.
But others knew him. “Ah~ Yuan Shi Tianzun!”
The one who screamed was a beautiful girl, covering her mouth, with a face full of surprise.
Several of her female companions next to her also had excited and excited expressions.
I am also an idol now... Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed, and was about to use his social skills to have a hearty conversation with several young ladies, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Guan Ya in the distance, looking at him with a smile.
The teachings of the life mentor flashed in his mind.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly, imitating Fu Qingyang’s posture, with a cold expression, he passed the female colleagues without haste, and walked towards the veteran driver.
“Hey, he’s so aloof, unlike the lively person he was during the competition.”
“It’s good to be aloof, it means he won’t hook up with girls randomly. I like ascetic male gods.”
Women like ascetic male gods, and men like icebergs for the same reason. Although I can’t get them, they are still pure. Men and women with dissolute styles will not have a good reputation, because the pursuers who covet their beauty know that their male and female gods are rolling in the sheets with others every day...
The words of the life mentor appeared in his mind once again.
“Sister Guan Ya” he sat down next to the veteran driver.
Zhang Yuanqing knew that the act of looking for her first after entering the arena would definitely win her favor, and the cold attitude towards the "fans" just now would also improve her impression of him again.
“Hmm” Guan Ya nodded with a bright smile, with satisfaction hidden in her eyes.
The chaotic and noisy seat changes ended quickly. The Queen did not watch today’s game. According to Guan Ya, she happened to be on duty today and could only stay in reality with tears in her eyes.
As for Little Green Tea and Jiang Jingwei, Zhang Yuanqing did not see them.
In the sound of armor clashing, the Armored Swordsman took the stage. After giving a simple opening speech, the Spirit Realm Walkers present received a list of battles that popped up in the Spirit Realm.
“Fengdu Ghost King vs A Reed Across the River”
“Ling Jun vs Milky Red Pink Head”
“Fu Qingyang vs Holy Fire Raging”
Zhang Yuanqing quickly scanned the battle list and was surprised:
“There are so many star-level players appearing at the very beginning”
In the transcendent stage of the competition, there are not many star-level players who appear on the first day.
Ah, there are only a dozen or twenty saints in a super first-tier city like Songhai, and they may not participate in the arena competition.
Many older saints will not participate unless they are confident of squeezing into the top ten.
On the one hand, they may not participate in the killing copy, and on the other hand, it is embarrassing to lose.
The Director is the backbone of the official organization. On weekdays, when the elders are not present, the Director is the highest leader that official Spirit Realm Walkers can contact.
The leader’s face is more important than anything else.
Zhang Yuanqing said “Oh oh” a few times and waited patiently. After a while, the first group of players took the stage.
The Fengdu Ghost King was about thirty years old, dressed in black clothes and black pants. He had an ordinary appearance, but he had an unspeakable noble air and a vaguely domineering aura.
Extremely eye-catching.
A Reed Across the River is a woman with a gentle figure, beautiful, calm, and you can’t tell her age.
After the two entered the arena, the Armored Swordsman said loudly:
“Start!”
The Fengdu Ghost King unhurriedly took out a small round mirror, looked at his face in it, and then snapped his fingers.
“Dong dong dong”
Three burly Yin Corpses jumped into the arena, bringing the sound of rolling boulders. They wore the same clothes, the same hairstyle, and stood in the same posture.
“Does this Fengdu Ghost King have obsessive-compulsive disorder?” Zhang Yuanqing joked.
“It’s rigid” Guan Ya gave a positive answer based on her observation.
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the Fengdu Ghost King’s cold face again, rigid, serious, and unsmiling.
He thought to himself that no wonder Yin Ji didn’t like the Fengdu Ghost King and switched to the embrace of the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord has a sweet tongue, good skills, and strong talent. He is obviously more attractive to women than a serious man.
While his thoughts were wandering, the three Yin Corpses formed a triangular formation
Charging towards A Reed Across the River, the dong dong footsteps were steady, powerful, rapid, and fast.
Every step cracked the arena stone slabs.
A Reed Across the River’s pupils suddenly shrank, her eyeballs turned amber, her pupils stood up, thick yellow hair grew under her skin, whiskers extended from the corners of her mouth, her nose turned black and round, and her nails extended and curved, turning into sharp claws.
(This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!)
In an instant, she turned into a delicate and protruding catwoman.
The catwoman jumped up lightly, jumping over the heads of the three Yin Corpses, causing their pounce to miss.
The catwoman landed silently, without any sound, and then turned into a phantom, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards the Fengdu Ghost King.
At the same time, clusters of green weeds grew from the stone slabs under the Fengdu Ghost King’s feet, spreading out like a carpet, turning the arena floor into a lawn.
The Fengdu Ghost King remained calm, jumped up, jumped several meters high, and entered the night tour under the watchful eyes of everyone, disappearing.
The catwoman immediately stopped her charge, looking around vigilantly, observing whether there were any footprints on the lawn.
But the Fengdu Ghost King seemed to have disappeared.
“Where do you think he is?” Guan Ya asked in a low voice.
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said: “On the Yin Corpse’s shoulder.”
The mixed-race beauty glanced at him in surprise. This was consistent with what she had discerned, but Yuan Shi was not a scout, nor did he wear a Finder’s glasses. He relied entirely on combat wisdom to infer it.
At this time, the figure of the Fengdu Ghost King appeared on the shoulder of one of the Yin Corpses.
He was holding a small round mirror in his hand, looking at himself in the mirror. He seemed to see something satisfactory in the mirror, smiled softly, and then exhaled a stream of endless Taiyin power.
“Wuwuwu…”
The sound of ghosts crying resounded throughout the audience, and the temperature dropped sharply.
As a Night Wanderer, Zhang Yuanqing clearly saw wisps of blue smoke floating out with the power of Taiyin, and transforming into various ferocious ghosts and wraiths in the air.
There were men and women, old and young, with either hideous faces or disheveled hair.
As many as dozens of wraiths.
These wraiths were holding scythes in their hands, floating in the air, and the ghosts danced wildly.
This, this is too many spirit servants, no, not spirit servants, between spirit servants and wraiths, what is this operation... Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.
The wraiths raised their scythes and swooped down towards the catwoman.
Every time the knife hit, the catwoman let out a painful scream. She could rely on her agility to avoid the Yin Corpse’s attacks, but she could not avoid these invisible wraiths.
A few minutes later, the battle ended.
The Fengdu Ghost King won the victory without much effort.
It felt like abusing noobs. This is the invincible person under the previous generation of Dominators. Why did he look in the mirror? So far, the Fengdu Ghost King has only used the Night Wanderer's abilities. What about the Star Officer's abilities? Zhang Yuanqing secretly sighed.
The second group was Ling Jun and Milky Red Pink Head. The latter was a Plague God, specializing in the field of bacteria and microorganisms. Her abilities were restrained by the Beast King’s healing.
But Ling Jun didn’t fight aggressively. From beginning to end, he didn’t take the initiative to attack, because “Pink Head” was a very charming mature woman.
“Which branch is sister a director of?”
“Tong Province.”
“Alas, I took advantage in this game, and it’s not a fair victory.
“It doesn’t matter, victory or defeat is not important.”
“Yes, victory or defeat is not important. Being able to compete with a female who is as excellent as you is my greatest gain from participating in the competition.”
“As expected of Young Master Hua, you really know how to talk.”
“Did sister participate in the arena competition for the reward?” “It’s for sharpening myself.”
After dawdling for half an hour, the Armored Swordsman couldn’t help but frown and shout loudly
“Finish the battle quickly!”
Ling Jun heard this, covered his chest and let out an "Ah" sound: "I'm sick, I give up."
The mature woman on the opposite side was stunned, with a look of astonishment on her face.
Just as she was about to say something, Ling Jun was already covering his chest and staggering back to the stands.
He deliberately let me win... He wants me to sharpen myself more... The mature female Director of the Water God Palace immediately understood Young Master Hua's intention.
For a time, she was both grateful and surprised, and her impression of him greatly increased.
“Fu Qingyang and Holy Fire Raging enter the arena.
As the Armored Swordsman’s voice fell, a figure in white rose slowly from a certain seat. He did not jump down from the high wall like other players, but grabbed a blue cloak and draped it over his shoulders.
Whoosh whoosh
The cloak fluttered in the wind, and an airflow rose from under Fu Qingyang’s feet, carrying him towards the center of the arena.
Cheers came from the stands.
“So flamboyant…” Zhang Yuanqing said.
Guan Ya agreed with his statement and sighed: “Qingyang has liked to act cool since he was a child.”
“And he’s rich and stupid.”
“But he claims to be a convincing person.”
“Let’s talk about these words in private, don’t spread them out.”
“That’s what I intend.”
While speaking, a fireball rose from the stands and smashed towards Fu Qingyang, who was floating in the air, like a cannonball.
Fu Qingyang’s face turned cold, and he flicked his finger, and the fireball exploded with a "boom". A towering figure appeared in the expanding firelight.
This person was about forty years old, with a burly figure, a beard, a domineering aura, and sharp eyes. He was the kind of guy who would come over and ask "What are you looking at?" if someone glanced at him a few more times on the street, and then punch you.
“Fu Qingyang” Holy Fire Raging shouted
“They all say you are the number one person under the Dominator realm. I’m not convinced. I’ll take the opportunity to learn your skills. I hope you’re not just a waste of fame…”
Before he could finish speaking, as he was slowly falling, he saw Fu Qingyang grab a Han Eight-Sided Bronze Sword from the void. The sword was sharp, but the blade was covered in copper rust.
Young Master Qian, with a cold expression, slashed down with the sword.
Holy Fire Raging’s pupils shrank, and his body trembled violently and strangely. Countless ways to dodge flashed through his mind, but there were self-contradictions and self-denials.
In the end, he did nothing and let the sword cut open his chest and sever his breastbone.
Holy Fire Raging crashed heavily onto the arena, and blood exploded in his chest, staining the lawn red.
Fu Qingyang turned his body and floated back to the arena.
The battle had not yet begun, but it had already ended.
The support team rushed onto the stage, and after checking the injuries, they shouted loudly: "Elder, you need to inject life serum.
(This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!)
The Armored Swordsman nodded slightly.
The support team carried Holy Fire Raging away in a hurry.
The audience was silent.
A few seconds later, a tidal wave of noise erupted.
“What? It’s over already? Did Director Holy Fire take the money?”
“The acting is so fake. I could have avoided Fu Qingyang’s sword. A dignified Director couldn’t avoid it. Young Master Qian is worthy of being Young Master Qian.”
The audience members were discussing and accusing Fu Qingyang of playing a fake game.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly remembered the fire master from Dark Night Rose when he was hunting the Black Impermanence at the Third Elementary School. He didn't even have the courage to fight Fu Qingyang in close combat.
Compared to that, this guy is a real fire master. The fire master from Dark Night Rose is simply a disgrace to fire masters.
Amidst the discussions, Zhang Yuanqing heard Guan Ya sigh:
“This is the skill close to the Tao”
Skill close to the Tao... He silently recited these four words in his heart, and took the opportunity to ask
“What does this sentence actually mean?”
This question had been bothering him for a long time.
“I told you last time that Crossing-the-River Pawn is called Little Qingyang. You have experienced Crossing-the-River Pawn’s insight specialization.” Guan Ya said, “Fu Qingyang’s slash is an enhanced version of Crossing-the-River Pawn’s insight specialization. Well, enhanced countless versions.”
Zhang Yuanqing nodded. Crossing-the-River Pawn can predict two to three steps. The moment he raises his gun, you will have the feeling that you will be hit, no matter whether you move to the left or to the right, you will be predicted.
“So, Centurion predicted seven or eight steps, or even more?”
Guan Ya shook her head, her face serious:
“No, if that’s the case, he wouldn’t be worthy of the four words skill close to the Tao. His realm is even higher.”
A higher level? Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows: “What do you mean?”
“I told you before that Fu Qingyang doesn’t have good talent. He was despised by the elders of his family since he was a child. Among his peers, he was below average, but he was very proud. That kind of pride came from his bones. Sometimes I don’t understand. Why is he so proud when he is so weak? Why? Because of his blind pride, he was often bullied by his family peers.” When Guan Ya talked about these things, her eyes were full of remembrance, sigh, and admiration.
“Until the fighting competition held by the family when he was 15 years old, I was knocked unconscious by him with a wooden knife. He only used one knife. But that knife was fast, ruthless, and accurate, catching me off guard.
“Later I learned that in the past seven or eight years, Fu Qingyang only practiced one move, and that was slash!
“He knew that he didn’t have good talent, so he didn’t learn fighting, didn’t learn moves, and only practiced slash. He concentrated all his energy and effort on one move, making it reach the pinnacle.
“I lost convincingly, because I knew that that knife condensed his pride, condensed his half-life of effort. When he draws his knife, he is already invincible.”
Guan Ya sighed
“After becoming a Spirit Realm Walker, he integrated insight into the slash, and still repeated practice day and night. The family elders still didn’t look favorably on him. They all thought he was walking too narrow a path. Only knowing one move meant that he would be easily targeted.
“The fact is indeed the case. Back then, he was like the current Crossing-the-River Pawn, very strong, but not outstanding. It wasn’t until he was promoted to the Saint realm that we were horrified to discover that he had turned this knife into a rule.”
Speaking of this, Guan Ya looked at the dumbfounded Yuan Shi and nodded: “Yes, it is a rule, the rule of a rule-type item.
“His slash cannot be avoided, it can only be resisted head-on. Even the Dominator cannot avoid it, just like your Red Dancing Shoes, even Dog Elder is helpless.
“Fu Qingyang is the first person to master rules since the birth of the Spirit Realm. Of course, I don’t know if the leaders of the alliance can do it.”
Zhang Yuanqing murmured
“This is, skill close to the Tao…”
He suddenly understood, understood why Fu Qingyang looked down on geniuses, why he said that these geniuses were trash, and why he said that the female marshal’s hard work was not worthy of her talent.
Fu Qingyang does have this capital. He doesn’t have good talent, but he has the heart of a strong person.
It’s really sad and inspiring… Zhang Yuanqing said silently in his heart.
At this moment, a soft and pleasant voice came from the side
“Yuan Shi Tianzun”
Zhang Yuanqing gathered his thoughts and looked in the direction of the voice. The person who came was a mature and attractive young woman.
Her face was round, delicate, and her lips were fiery red, like a plump peony flower.
ps: I’ll update the typo first and correct it later.
