Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

However, it didn't cause too much trouble because Chen Ning is very capable. She immediately refuted the rumors and shifted the topic, while also filming a supplementary program called "Parenting Experience," which was released that same night.

In addition, Xia Liyi's name had such a good reputation that even the combined efforts of major companies couldn't break through it for a time.

Despite being in a state of mixed popularity and controversy, Xia Mu maintained his position at the top of the trending topics list for over ten days, while also releasing more than a dozen Chinese songs, turning casual observers into fans.

Its popularity quickly surged to 50, after which the growth rate began to slow down.

Natsuki wasn't bothered by all the commotion. Apart from attending some events with Erii, he spent the rest of his time just dreaming.

As soon as the other side enters the trial of life and death, he simultaneously enters the dream world.

Wind's momentum... Wind vortex... Ultimate Wind - Meteor Strike...

He discovered that his opponent never used the "Wind and Shadow" skill, which was exactly what he needed.

Chapter 107 Let's fool them!

Why don't you use the "Fog and Shadow" technique?

Inside the trial space, Xia Mu finally couldn't help but make a sound.

He had already mastered the Wind Whirlwall and Wind Push, which could be learned in 10 tries, and had accumulated 99 Wind Extreme: Meteor Strike and 56 Wind Extreme: Sunset Radiance, but he had not even once achieved the Wind Flicker Shadow, which could be mastered in 100 tries.

There's also the Wind-Shaped Spirit Splitting Sword, which has 1000 successful attempts, but only 0.

"you…"

The woman in the plain dress held an antique-style, emerald-green longsword. She blinked her beautiful eyes, seemingly somewhat surprised: "You...speaked?"

Why can't I speak?

After so many days, Xia Mu had figured out the situation. At this moment, he crossed his arms and began to show off: "Yun Yun, the ninth sect master of Yunlan Sect, I, the spirit of the Life and Death Gate, uphold the legacy of my ancestors and am here to spar with you. You must not cheat or shirk your duties."

Yun Yun landed, her half-heeled shoes making a soft sound on the ground. Her graceful figure stood tall and elegant. She sheathed her sword and bowed, saying, "Senior Gate Spirit, please know that because I have broken through to the Dou Huang level and possess more flexible Dou Qi wings, I no longer need to use the Wind Flicker Shadow technique, so I no longer use it."

Xia Mu was speechless, and couldn't help but ask again, "What about the Wind-Shaped Spirit-Dividing Sword?"

Yun Yun smiled politely: "The Wind-Shaped Spirit-Dividing Sword is suitable for close combat and is the fighting technique I have used the most. I have become so proficient in it that it is like a muscle memory. Therefore, I have been training more on ultimate techniques like Wind Extreme - Annihilation recently."

Xia Mu was even more depressed.

If you don't practice, how am I supposed to learn? Do I really have to wait for 100,000 Wind's Ultimate Annihilation techniques?

“Then let me see how your practice goes. Let’s start with the simplest. I’ll use Wind Push and Wind Whirlwall for defense, and you can use Wind Flicker and Wind Spirit Fractal Sword for melee attacks,” he said, his hands behind his back.

"Yes."

Although a hint of confusion flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, she did not question it.

Because this is the gate of life and death she has entered for twenty or thirty years, she is already extremely familiar with the gate spirit that is indistinct, and has spent more time with it than with anyone else.

Previously it was unconscious, but now it has suddenly changed. Could it be that a higher-level trial has appeared at the Gate of Life and Death?

As she thought this, her wings suddenly unfurled, transforming into emerald light. In an instant, her figure flashed, and the longsword in her hand left a trail of afterimages before piercing Xia Mu's heart.

'This is...too fast...'

Xia Mu's figure disappeared amidst the excruciating pain of his heart being torn apart, and then his body reformed in the same spot.

"Senior, you..."

Yun Yun stepped back, looking at him with confusion: "Why not use the power of a Dou Huang?"

In the past, the strength level displayed by the gate spirits was always on par with hers, so that she could hone her combat skills.

Her gaze lingered on Xia Mu's face, and suddenly a thought struck her: she could see his face clearly now.

Yun Yun glanced at his handsome and refined face a few more times before realizing she had been somewhat impolite and lowered her gaze.

“Your strength and combat skills have reached a bottleneck,” Xia Mu said calmly.

"Yes, my recent seclusion was indeed to break through a bottleneck." Yun Yun nodded.

Xia Mu then asked, "Are you hoping to increase your combat power by raising the upper limit of your special moves?"

"Yes."

Yun Yun took a deep breath, clasped her hands in a respectful greeting, and looked on with anticipation: "Is there something wrong with my method? Please enlighten me, senior."

After breaking through to the Douhuang realm, she took over as the sect master of the Yunlan Sect. Her teacher also went into seclusion, and afterwards she had to explore and progress on her own, which was very inefficient.

Now that the spirit of the gate has suddenly spoken, she has the idea of ​​asking for its guidance.

Meanwhile, Xia Mu was racking his brains to recall the descriptions of combat levels in so many online novels from back then.

Especially in the theoretical aspects.

"The improvement of one's strength and realm is limited by talent and opportunity; it's not something that can be achieved simply through hard work. Your talent is beyond what you've reached, but your opportunities are far from sufficient..."

Xia Mu stood with his hands behind his back, speaking eloquently, even using psychological suggestion and acting skills, plus the mental fluctuation effects of the divine hand, in order to play the role of a knowledgeable door spirit.

"It's a pity you are the sect leader of Yunlan Sect. You can't travel around looking for opportunities, so you can only work behind closed doors."

"Building cars?" Yun Yun asked in confusion.

Xia Mu remained calm: "That means you can only figure it out on your own in seclusion, which is extremely inefficient."

“Yes,” Yun Yun nodded in realization, “What you say is absolutely right. After taking over the position of sect leader, I have had no more opportunities to gain experience. Most of the time I am entangled in worldly affairs. It was not until these past two years, when I promoted Yun Leng to the position of Grand Elder and let him handle the affairs of the sect, that I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.”

Xia Mu's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

So this is the root cause of the Yunlan Sect's destruction. Sect Master Yun really did choose a talented person...

"I can't help you with that. Only your own experience can accelerate your growth; otherwise, advancement in your realm can only be achieved through the accumulation of time," Xia Mu said.

Yun Yun wasn't disappointed; she simply nodded slightly, already mentally prepared for this.

"So if you want to improve your combat power, the only way is through combat skills. There's nothing wrong with mastering high-level combat techniques, but you won't have the opportunity to use them in every battle..."

Xia Mu said, "Many times, the opportunity in battle is fleeting, and the chance only lasts for a moment. If you always plan to use high-level fighting techniques to end the battle, you will often miss opportunities, so..."

At this point, he finally veered to his purpose: "You need to become more familiar with how to use combat techniques in different situations, such as when you can't use your Dou Huang strength."

Yun Yun did not submit and obey, but instead looked puzzled: "If I cannot use the strength of a Dou Huang, then what is the point of being able to use other low-level Dou Techniques?"

"Lower your level of understanding, find your own limits, and you will naturally understand my reasoning."

Xia Mu stood with his hands behind his back: "I will arrange all the trials within the Gate of Life and Death. If you do not believe me and are unwilling to accept them, then you may leave."

Seeing him turn and leave, his figure seemingly fading into the distance, Yun Yun didn't have time to think further and reached out her hand to stop him: "Senior! I'll do whatever you say!"

"it is good!"

Xia Mu immediately turned around: "Come on."

Yun Yun felt something was really... strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. In short, it seemed that this gate spirit... had its own will?

"Fleeting shadows in the wind!"

She dodged with her feet, estimating Xia Mu's previous reaction, and used only a very small portion of her strength.

"laugh."

The hurricane rose up, pushing her head-on and keeping her out.

Xia Mu was finally able to keep up with the pace of the battle; this move was a wind-driven technique.

Yun Yun flipped back, easily dodging the attack. Then, she swayed in a circle, her long sword leaving a trail of afterimages, and in an instant, she attacked Xia Mu's blind spot from behind: "Wind-Shaped Spirit Splitting Sword!"

"Wind Whirlwall!"

The hurricane danced around Xia Mu, but a hint of confusion flashed in Yun Yun's eyes. The next moment, her long sword sliced ​​through the wind barrier and easily pierced into Xia Mu's body!

The "wind propulsion" and "wind vortex wall" techniques used by this spirit were riddled with flaws, even worse than hers...

Chapter 108 Boarding the Ship

"Senior, you..."

Yun Yun looked at the reborn Xia Mu, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Was there a problem with how I used it just now?"

Xia Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed, without a single flaw.

Yun Yun composed herself, not showing her doubts on her face. She sheathed her sword, bowed, and answered earnestly, "Senior only used the Wind Push and Wind Whirlwall techniques superficially, without making flexible judgments based on the situation."

"Tell me more?"

Xia Mu smiled, a hint of encouragement in his expression.

Yun Yun paused for a moment, then answered carefully, “What I did just now seemed like a frontal attack, but in reality, my target was your back, your blind spot from the very beginning. Whether it was the initial wisp of wind or the later wind-shaped spirit-splitting sword, they were all feints. The best thing you could have done was to use the wind vortex wall to protect yourself and use the wind to cut off my path of movement.”

"Okay, let's do it one more time."

Xia Mu nodded slightly, processing the experience he had just had.

He not only intended to acquire Yun Yun's skills, but also to use her as a teacher to master them.

Subsequently, the heart-piercing ending occurred ten times in a row.

"senior…"

Yun Yun finally couldn't help but ask, "Your use of wind thrust and wind vortex walls is getting better and better, but you could have used them much better before, I don't understand..."

"Don't worry about it, I'm just bored and looking for some fun."

Xia Mu seemed very casual.

Forcing an explanation won't last; Yunyun isn't stupid.

"Well…"

Yun Yun opened her rosy lips, then lowered her head: "Yes, I... I'll keep you company, senior..."

After Yunshan went into seclusion, the gate spirit of the Gate of Life and Death was practically her second teacher, whom she respected and was very grateful to.

Besides, this door spirit with self-awareness is quite interesting.

"Then let's do it again."

Xia Mu said with a smile.
