Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 151: Should we force growth?
And so, Anzhi began his journey of in-depth exploration and familiarization with the Illusionary Eight Trigrams and the Dividing Light Demon-Slaying Sword in the bamboo forest.

Every day, she holds a bamboo branch in her hand, her figure lithe and graceful, practicing the Demon-Slaying Sword with each move.

The bamboo branch-shaped sword danced in his hand like a nimble dragon, shimmering with dazzling light. She focused on every detail of the swordsmanship, feeling the power of the sword merge with her own.

When practicing the Illusionary Eight Trigrams Formation, An Zhi was completely focused. Based on the positions and principles of change of the Eight Trigrams, he constantly adjusted his steps and posture, integrating the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams into his actions.

As time went by, Shen Anzhi became more and more familiar with the Phantom Eight Trigrams and the Dividing Light Demon-Slaying Sword in the bamboo forest. He gradually grasped the essence of these two skills and was able to use them more freely.

After some arduous training, Anzhi took off the demon-slaying gourd from his waist, sat on a stone stool, and took a sip.

These past few days, Anzhi has been working very hard. It's rare that Lingjizi took over looking after Tuantuan after returning, so Tuantuan and Duoqi haven't disturbed her cultivation much these past few days, which is quite remarkable.

Before long, Lingjizi appeared in front of Anzhi like a beam of light. Looking at Anzhi, who was covered in sweat, she nodded slightly, a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Anzhi, I am very pleased with your dedication to the study of martial arts. It seems that you have already begun to grasp the basics of the Illusionary Eight Trigrams Formation and the Dividing Light Demon-Slaying Sword." Lingjizi's voice was loud yet gentle, echoing through the bamboo forest.

Upon hearing this, An Zhi quickly stopped what he was doing, stood up excitedly, and said, "Thank you, thank you, senior. I was mistaken. People within the welcoming Bagua Formation can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their bodies and minds can..."

"Haha, alright, alright, you can figure it out slowly later. Today I will teach you two ultimate techniques: Spirit Wind Shadow Step Kill and Ice Soul Sealing Demon Formation." Lingjizi smiled slightly and began to explain the mysteries of Spirit Wind Shadow Step Kill in detail.

Lingjizi: "The Spirit Wind Shadow Step Kill is a skill that combines speed and true qi attack. The cultivator uses the wind to make their body as light as the wind, leaving behind a series of spiritual wind afterimages as they move. When approaching demons, the cultivator will use the impact generated by the high-speed movement to launch a fatal blow. Moreover, these spiritual wind afterimages also have a certain degree of offensiveness, which can disrupt the demons' vision or cause them cutting damage."

As he spoke, Lingjizi's figure flickered, and he instantly darted through the bamboo forest.

His figure was like a phantom, elusive and incredibly fast. Wherever he went, bamboo leaves were lifted up by an invisible force, yet he made no obvious attack.

Watching Lingjizi's amazing moves, Anzhi was shocked but also knew how powerful Lingfeng Shadow Step was.

After Lingjizi stopped, he continued, "During cultivation, it is necessary to train in places with abundant wind to improve one's ability to control the wind."

Anzhi looked up at the bamboo tips around him, a gentle breeze caressing his face, and suddenly a place came to mind: "The Heavenly Bamboo Forest?"

Lingjizi nodded: "Yes, that's the highest point in the bamboo forest, it's very windy there."

After finishing speaking, Lingjizi continued to explain the techniques of the Lingfeng Shadow Step Kill.

Anzhi listened intently to Lingjizi's explanation, memorizing every key point.

After teaching Ling Fengying's Shadow Step Killing Technique, An Zhi was about to practice according to Ling Jizi's instructions when Ling Jizi interrupted him, saying, "No rush, no rush. Let me demonstrate the Ice Soul Sealing Demon Formation for you too." An Zhi was shocked. Was this trying to force him to learn too quickly? So he said, "Senior, let's... let's do it one at a time. I'm afraid... it's better to teach them one by one than to teach them all at once..."

Faced with Anzhi's worries, Lingjizi seemed unconcerned, waving his hand and saying, "You have great potential and a very high level. I've never seen a ten-coin demon slayer this young before. You have to believe in yourself."

An Zhi was puzzled. Could it be that he really should thank General Black Python? Although he had unsealed Black Python, he had also benefited himself.

Finally, before Anzhi could even prepare himself, Lingjizi demonstrated the second skill, the Ice Soul Sealing Demon Formation.

The Ice Soul Sealing Demon Formation involves the cultivator channeling their magical power into the ground, instantly creating a massive ice array around themselves. This array releases powerful cold air, trapping demons within. The trapped demons gradually freeze, becoming sluggish and having their demonic power suppressed. Simultaneously, the ice array continuously absorbs surrounding water elemental energy to enhance the freezing effect, until the demons are completely frozen, rendering them powerless to resist.

Anzhi watched as Lingjizi walked towards a clearing in the bamboo forest, afraid of missing this big move, and quickly followed.

Lingjizi first took a deep breath, then slowly raised his hands. He quickly formed hand seals, and beams of light flickered and danced at his fingertips, like agile sprites.

“￥%……&……&%#￥@#￥……&&*（）*.” Lingjizi muttered incantations, the obscure and difficult-to-understand spell echoing through the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, centered on Lingjizi, the temperature around him plummeted, and a chill began to spread. Anzhi, standing to the side, clearly felt a cold aura rushing towards him and couldn't help but shiver.

A moment later, a strange magic circle appeared beneath Lingjizi's feet. The magic circle was outlined by streaks of blue light, and as the light flickered, it seemed as if ice crystals were condensing within it, which was completely opposite to the Illusionary Eight Trigrams Array.

"Wow……"

An Zhi was so surprised that his mouth dropped open. He saw ice pillars rising from the edge of the magic circle. The ice pillars were crystal clear and emitted a chilling light. They grew rapidly and soon surrounded Ling Jizi.

Lingjizi's hand seals changed even more rapidly, and more ice crystals began to spread from the ice pillar. The ice crystals stretched and spread in all directions like vines, freezing everything in their path. Bamboo leaves, stones, and even the moisture in the air were instantly turned into ice sculptures.

Surrounded by ice pillars and ice crystals, a powerful suction force was faintly generated within the formation, as if it wanted to draw in and seal away all evil spirits.

"Stop!" After the demonstration, Lingjizi slowly stopped practicing, and the hand seals on his hands gradually loosened.

As he finished his practice, the surrounding temperature began to rise, and the ice pillars and ice crystals gradually melted away. The bamboo forest returned to its former tranquility, but the wonder of the Ice Soul Sealing Demon Array was deeply imprinted in Anzhi's mind.

"Senior!" Although Anzhi sensed the power of the two skills, he still felt that he had not grasped the essentials.

Lingjizi ignored all of that and walked away slowly, saying, "You must believe in yourself."

Anzhi looked at the empty bamboo forest, and Lingjizi disappeared on the spot again...
