Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 14 Upgrade
In a natural cave a few miles away from Lujia Village.

Qi Xiu gritted his teeth and stood in front of the iron pot, his hands constantly digging into the iron sand, his whole body dripping with sweat, white smoke rising up around him.

It's almost...

Taking the time to glance at the proficiency panel, Qi Xiu took a deep breath and accelerated his hand movements again.

Today we must break through the Black Sand Palm to the first level.

He concentrated his attention and focused all his attention on the practice of Black Sand Palm.

I do not know how long it has been.

The moment when both palms were inserted into the iron sand.

Qi Xiu's eyes suddenly became blank.

The atmosphere around him suddenly changed.

The strong qi turbulence caused a scalding wind to suddenly blow throughout the cave, causing the surrounding snow to melt quickly.

The palms, which had become rough and bloated from constant friction with iron sand, shed a lot of dead skin.

A few breaths of effort.

Qi Xiu's hands became as slender as before, with a faint sense of strength.

Become!

Qi Xiu called up the proficiency panel.

[Calligraphy (One Realm): 89.9%]

[Black Sand Palm (First Realm): 0%]

[Swallow Flying: 14%]

[The method of observing the sun and strengthening the gods: 9.1%]

[Cooking skills: 7.7%]

He raised his palms and used Qi Xiu's skills. His hands turned black in an instant, his muscles bulged, and his palms swelled several times, becoming powerful and powerful.

There seemed to be a vague wave of translucent air lingering on the surface.

Come to a stone wall in the cave.

Qi Xiu raised his hand and blasted out with a palm.

click-

The fleshy palms slapped against the mottled stone wall covered with moss.

There was a harsh sound of rocks cracking.

Several forearm-sized cracks scattered along the palm prints.

The entire mountain wall seemed to be shaking.

The terrifying destructive power is shocking.

It's hard to imagine what the scene would be like if this palm were slapped on a living creature of flesh and blood.

"This is...forging power realm?"

Black Sand Palm broke through to the first level, and Qi Xiu automatically comprehended a large amount of martial arts knowledge in his mind.

The so-called forging power realm is a threshold for warriors to cross.

It is also the limit of third-rate outer martial arts such as Black Sand Palm.

If a martial art enters the forging realm.

The position of cultivation can explode several times or even ten times the power beyond ordinary people in a short period of time.

And activate the performance of this power.

That is, transparent invisible air waves will emerge from the training position and wrap around it.

After shaking off the strength in his hand, Qi Xiu sat on the rock next to him, propped up his chin, and stared at the proficiency panel.

Black Sand Palm is a third-rate outer sect palm technique.

Practicing until death is a state of strength training.

But judging from the panel, Black Sand Palm should be able to continue to be practiced.

Just the content in the secret book only reaches the forging realm...

Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly as he thought about how he had been trapped in the Qian Mansion before and how he could increase his proficiency simply by practicing palm techniques.

Get up and go to the iron pot.

Continue to exercise according to the previous practice method.

ten minutes later.

On the proficiency panel, behind Black Sand Palm, which had reached the first level, the numbers slowly jumped up.

0.1%
"Sure enough!"

Seeing that the progress number had moved, Qi Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Black Sand Palm in the forging realm is very strong.

But it's not enough.

At least, not as good as Qian Yuchuan.

Qi Xiu rubbed his brows as he remembered the scene that night when Qian Yuchuan was as fast as thunder and punched the boy's corpse several dozen meters away, embedding it deeply into the wall.

That guy is not a monster in human skin.

He is only in his 20s, so how could he have such terrifying power?With a sigh, Qi Xiu tapped his cheek and adjusted his original training plan.

Black Sand Palm has broken through to the first level.

The acquisition of proficiency is much slower. It is necessary to reduce the time spent practicing every day and focus on other subjects.

There is still 10% left to break through to the second realm in calligraphy.

You can focus on a few days to level up in one go.

Yan Zifei's movement technique can be the next main target.

If I can beat you, I'll fight. If you can't beat me, I can still run.

As for this magical method of observing the sun and strengthening it...

Qi Xiu glanced sideways at the bright light outside the cave and scratched his forehead.

How can I describe this martial arts?

The effect is indeed effective.

Not only can it strengthen the spirit, reduce fatigue, make people more inspired, but it can also exercise eyesight.

But the only drawback is that it’s too uncomfortable to practice.

Stare directly at the sun.

This kind of practice method goes against the basic physiological conditions of human beings.

Can cause strong resistance in the body.

It was much more uncomfortable than the simple pain of Black Sand Palm.

And every time I finish practicing this martial arts.

He had to face half-blindness that lasted for nearly an hour.

His eyes were filled with white light, and he could only vaguely see the outline two or three meters in front of him.

Fortunately, as proficiency increases, this time shortens.

Qi Xiu's eyes wandered back and forth between several skills.

In the end, I slowly fell in love with calligraphy, which has been following me for the longest time and has made great achievements many times.

It's up to you!

……

In the cold and quiet mountain forest.

The breeze blew through the treetops, and the snowflakes fell to the ground, making a faint and crisp sound.
On a winding mountain road.

Two potbellied Taoists wearing Taoist robes, one carrying a bamboo basket and the other carrying a baggage, walked in the mountains with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Brother, are we almost there? I'm almost starving. How about we find something to eat?"

Taoist Bamboo Basket, who had snow-white skin and a green birthmark on his forehead, said.

"How can there be food in these stupid mountains? Let's go quickly. We will reach Baohe County soon.

Hurry up and complete the tasks assigned by Master, so that we can go back early. "

The Taoist priest said, carrying a baggage and a red birthmark on his forehead.

While the two Taoists were talking, the sound of rustling footsteps came from the corner of the mountain road not far ahead.

The man carrying a bamboo basket up the mountain to cut firewood looked at the Taoist in front of him in surprise.

Since when has there been a Taoist temple on this mountain?
"Hello, masters."

Out of courtesy, the man smiled and said hello to the Taoist.

The two Taoists standing opposite the man looked at each other and showed a sinister smile at the same time.

"Immeasurable freedom, what a coincidence that the donor came."

Smiling, he walked towards the man cutting firewood. The man's neck with the green birthmark swelled slightly and his blood vessels twisted.

"what?"

Looking blankly at the green birthmark Taoist who came over, the man cutting firewood was stunned for a moment.

The Taoist opposite suddenly opened his mouth.

A thick and violent green mist surged out of his throat.

Like a living creature, it burrowed through the man's seven orifices.

"Uh!"

He suddenly covered his neck, and the man cutting firewood didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell straight down.

"Hahaha, I finally have something to eat. After a few days here, the babies in my belly are already so hungry that they can't stand it anymore."

Rubbing his bloated belly, Taoist Qing Birthmark grinned.

With his clothes scattered, there were countless fist-sized pustules on his belly, and there was some kind of living thing swimming inside, which was extremely disgusting.

"There is a cave there. The skin of the mountain folk is rough and greasy, which affects the taste. Let's go there and peel the skin before eating it."

Found a wide cave not far away, Taoist Red Birthmark suggested.

"Okay, senior brother, you can eat and walk." Suckling away the drool flowing from the corner of his mouth, the green birthmark Taoist laughed and picked up the man with one hand.

The two of them walked toward the cave while talking and laughing.
