Chapter 123: Fire Lotus Exploding Flame Fist!

  "I didn't think that an ice spider, a magical beast like this, would be so difficult to deal with. It seems that the road ahead won't be easy to walk. This is just a magical beast, and there are even more terrifying demonic beasts. I still need to seize the time to cultivate, my current strength is still too weak."

  Shangguan Yu looked at the ice spider that had fallen to the ground and was about to leave. But before he could take a few steps, he was suddenly frozen again. He didn't think that this ice spider could still cast magic, and through his senses, he discovered that the ice spider had stood up again.

  This time, Shangguan Yu didn't have to exert much effort and directly broke the ice. The Ice Spider had been injured by Shangguan Yu after all, and its current magic power was much lower than before. As for Shangguan Yu, he hadn't suffered any harm and could still unleash his original combat strength.

  "You've made me understand this principle once again, if we're going to fight the enemy, then we should just kill them directly. It seems I still don't have a long memory, if you want to die, then I'll help you achieve that!"

  Shangguan Yu turned around and rushed to the ice spider's side again. He punched like rain, with each punch landing on the ice spider's legs. The ice spider's first six legs were all severely injured. It was already very difficult for it to stand up with its last two legs, let alone fight Shangguan Yu.

  The battle had become a one-sided affair, with the ice spider's legs being disabled one by one. The ice spider cried out in agony, but unfortunately, Yu Fei didn't care at all. The ice spider's body fell to the ground again, and this time it couldn't get back up.

  Upper official Yu punched the ice spider's head with one punch after another. When he was tired of punching, the ice spider finally ran out of breath. He kicked the ice spider's body with one foot and confirmed that the ice spider had really died before continuing on his way again.

  Ice spiders are just a flavor on the road, and the real battle is still far away. Whether it's a demon beast or a magic beast, they will only fight straightforwardly when they start fighting, and Yu also likes this kind of battle. However, these are just low-level demon beasts and magic beasts, and after reaching a certain level, the brains of the demon tribe are not inferior to those of the human tribe.

  "What a pity, it's just a spider, can't be eaten. Sigh, still have to go find food myself, what a hassle. The food I bought last time is still stored at Qin Shou's place. If only I had known, I would have stored it on myself. For the past few months, haven't seen any human towns."

  Shangguan Yu rubbed his empty stomach, and could only helplessly sigh. Fortunately, this was a land of death, where it wasn't difficult to find something to eat. There were many types of animals here, and he wasn't afraid of starving himself.

  Before long, the two rabbits were already on the roasting rack. As a martial artist, Dugu Yufe's appetite was naturally not small. The two rabbits were just enough for him to be seven or eight parts full.

  "Last time's breakthrough was also a dazed realization of a martial skill. Unfortunately, it's been so long and I still haven't been able to practice anything impressive. Is it that my realm is not enough, or my comprehension is not enough, or maybe the time I spent was too little?"

  Recalling the feeling of breaking through last time, it seemed as if some martial skill was beckoning him. Shangguan Yu himself also felt that with his realm's improvement, those few martial skills were gradually becoming insufficient.

  Standing still, Shangguan Yu closed his eyes and opened up his senses to the maximum. He felt the fluctuations of the heaven and earth's origin energy, he felt the rhythm of nature, he felt the breath of the laws. All of this made him deeply infatuated, if others were to know, they would probably be extremely surprised.

  Since ancient times, only martial artists who have reached the Emperor Realm can comprehend the laws. Even some extraordinary beings can at most comprehend the laws when they reach the King Realm. There has never been anyone like Shangguan Yu, who can sense the aura of the laws in the General Realm.

  Shangguan Yu is currently unable to comprehend the laws, but he can feel the aura of the laws. This will be beneficial for his future breakthroughs, as being able to feel the aura of the laws means he can come into contact with them earlier. Coming into contact with the laws earlier naturally means he can comprehend them earlier.

  A martial artist who can comprehend the laws before reaching the Emperor Realm, which one is not a peerless genius? This kind of person is destined to become a strong practitioner, even in the True Martial Sect, such a person is a rare existence like a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn.

  Gradually, a figure appeared in Shangguan Yu's mind. If you look closely, you can find that this figure is actually Shangguan Yu himself. To become an unparalleled strongman, one cannot blindly worship other strongmen. Believing in oneself, having me invincible, is the only way to go further on the path of martial arts.

  This figure was originally still, but as time flowed, it slowly came to life. However, its movements were very slow, just like an elderly person, every action was extremely difficult.

  Shangguan Yu's mind was completely focused on this figure, and as the figure moved, his body also made the same movements. He had already become so engrossed that he didn't even notice his own bodily movements.

  The heart and body unite, the body and breath unite, the breath and heaven and earth unite. The whole person of Shangguan Yu seems to have become a cycle, and this cycle has entered into the great cycle that connects with heaven and earth. His entire being seems to be united with this piece of heaven and earth, no longer distinguishing between self and other.

  The figure in his mind clenched its fists, and Yu Jian himself also clenched his fists. He slowly started to move, with both fists tightly closed. His legs, which were standing together, also slowly separated.

  The wind started to blow, blowing up Shangguan Yu's hair. Gradually, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and the fire that was originally roasting rabbits became more and more vigorous. The wind helped the flames, and the flames borrowed the wind's strength, and a raging fire had already broken out beside him.

  This place was originally a mountain forest, and now it's autumn, the weather is extremely dry. The surrounding grass and trees are easy to ignite, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger. Before, Shangguan Yu had his senses open to the maximum, but now he has completely immersed himself in cultivation, and he doesn't know anything about what's happening around him.

  Shangguan Yu finally grasped that thread of feeling, which was the martial skill he was about to comprehend. He followed the movements of the figure's shadow, but these movements were not only slow, but also very awkward.

  Fortunately, this area had been cleared before, although the surrounding area was on fire, but Shangguan Yu's place did not catch fire. Standing next to the big fire, being roasted would definitely be very uncomfortable, but Shangguan Yu couldn't feel it now.

  His fists moved, and the yuanqi inside his body also unconsciously poured into his fists. These were all habits from usual times, and didn't require Yu Fei to consciously control them. The yuanqi pouring into his fists brought forth waves of wind sounds as they swung through the air.

  "Flame Lotus Exploding Fist!"

  This is another martial art, different from the "Big Five Elements Fist". The cultivation of this martial art directly utilizes the yuanqi inside the body. The "Fire Lotus Exploding Flame Fist" has strong explosive power and destructive power. Although it carries some characteristics of "fire yuan force", this is only the reason for this martial art, not relying on "fire yuan force" to drive it.

  The awkward movements gradually improved, and the figure in Shangguan Yu's mind seemed to have returned to its youth, with movements that flowed like clouds and water. His own movements also quickened, but they didn't have the same carefree quality as that figure's.

  That figure practiced three more times before disappearing directly. Shangguan Yu didn't think it was strange at all, he was still immersed in the practice of this martial skill. His movements became faster and more proficient.

  As he swung his fists, there were some sparks coming towards him. He continued to swing his fists, but the fire rushing towards him grew more intense.

  The flames from all directions, as if they had found what they were pursuing, rushed towards Shangguan Yu together. They moved with Shangguan Yu's fists, sometimes up and sometimes down, sometimes left and sometimes right.

  It's strange that these fires didn't go to burn Shangguan Yu, but instead became unusually well-behaved. The fire gathering around Shangguan Yu grew more and more, and as time passed, it completely enveloped him.

  Those flames were spinning, twisting and swaying. Shangguan Yu was still immersed in this martial art, if anyone else saw such a strange sight, they would definitely be deeply moved. A young man practicing boxing in the fire, those fires all moved with his heart and moved with his movements.

  "Flame Lotus Exploding Fist!"

  Shangguan Yu's mouth slowly spat out these five words, and his movements also quickened. The flames transformed once again, constantly changing shape, finally forming a huge lotus flower.

  This lotus flower is entirely made of fire, swaying gently in the breeze. If you don't look closely, it really looks like a giant lotus flower. But this lotus flower is very dangerous, water and fire are ruthless, so much fire is naturally even more ruthless.

  Shangguan Yu suddenly stopped his movements, as if he had used up all his strength. He then suddenly punched forward with a loud bang. Along with his movement, the giant fire lotus charged forward.

  He suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him almost scared him to death. A huge fire lotus was rushing forward fiercely. The grass and trees were all reduced to ashes, and the surface of the earth seemed to have been evaporated by the fire lotus.

  As the Flame Lotus disappeared, the flames burning around Yu Shang also disappeared. After all, the cultivation of this move had already absorbed those flames. Now that there were no more flames anywhere else, how could they continue to burn?

  Shangguan Yu looked at his own hands in incredulity, "Did I really do this? Is this the new martial skill I've just comprehended? It looks incredibly powerful, at least I couldn't have done something like this before. 'Fire Lotus Exploding Fist'? Just the name sounds awesome!"

  Just as he was immersed in shock, a cow's bellow came over. Shangguan Yu had made such a big commotion and was naturally discovered.

  "Mooooo!!!"
