The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 29's. Physical Exercise bg. 4

Gofan carefully read the contents of the Book of a Thousand Claws Shadow, he simulated everything he managed to understand in his mind, many times he flipped through the book, he had, trying to understand correctly the basics of the thousand-claw shadow style.

Dozens of breaths passed, Gofan closed the book and put it back in, then he stood up and practiced everything he had previously simulated in his mind,

- Move your hands in this direction, then this way, flow the energy deeply into the fingers, claw shape in both hands, feet step forward then.

Both of Gofan's hands seemed to form claws, he moved them over and over again, several times he paused for a while and then continued with different steps, the wind around Gofan's fingers that formed claws looked like they were split apart due to the flow of his inner power.

Sweat began to wash over Gofan's body, as he continuously repeated several of the same movements before stopping and continuing with different movements,

- Supposedly this claw attack will be multiple, each claw attack will produce a shadow of the claw attack, and each shadow will produce another shadow, the point is at the speed of the hand, I must be faster.

Without feeling the day was already late in the afternoon, when the new Gofan showed a little development in the thousand-claw shadow stance,

- Right now, with this speed, I can only create dozens of claw shadows, but, I guess this is enough to subvert this tree-

Gofan stopped making moves, he sat back down and crossed his legs, then began to cultivate the knowledge of the Nine Heavens Book of Heaven, replenishing his profound energy that had been drained from his previous training.

Gofan made some hand movements and absorbed the heaven and earth energy that was around him, turning it into essence energy, and directing those strands of energy to the center point of his soul,

-*What is this? Why did my soul center point turn into a cube*?-

As Gofan directs the essence energy into the center of the soul, it turns out that the center of his soul now changes shape into an octagon cube, an eight-sided cube.

Heaven energy was at the center of the cube, as Gofan drew heaven and earth energy, the heaven energy within the cube was also growing, taking in the heaven and earth energy, as well, his mental energy also strengthened and entered along with the essence energy into the octagon cube,

- As I recall, before, the center point of my soul was still a vacuum, was this because of last night?-

Currently, Gofan's absorption speed towards the heaven and earth energy became more stable than the night before.

Those three energies, the essence energy, mental energy and heaven energy revolved like a tornado within the cube, greedily devouring the heaven and earth energy.

After hundreds of turns, the absorption speed began to slow down and stop as the octagon cube seemed to be filled with a blue liquid, heaven energy that was previously in the form of a golden red light, it now hardened and turned into a golden crystal that became the core within the blue liquid,

- I think this blue liquid is my inner energy and mental energy, I should consider it deep energy or mental energy? I have to prove it first

Gofan thought the blue liquid inside the octagon cube at the center point of his soul was both inner energy as well as mental energy, because during the previous energy cultivation process, it was during the previous energy cultivation process, the essence energy and mental energy had fused within that octagon cube.

That was indeed true, that blue liquid was the deep energy and mental energy of Gofan that had fused with the help of the heaven energy, that blue liquid was referred to as the Energy Dove.

While heaven energy that had already turned into crystals, was referred to as Heavenly Crystals, usually only immortals had these crystals.

Regarding the change in form of Gofan's soul center point, it happened because he was cultivating the book of heaven, the Book of Heaven of the Nine Heavens. The science of energy cultivation from the book of heaven had reconstructed the central point of Gofan's soul into an eight-sided cube.

Each Book of Gods and Book of Heavens would have a certain effect on the central point of the soul of the person studying those books. It's a kind of adjustment before the person succeeds in becoming a god.

Gofan opened his two eyes and stood up, preparing to use the already recharged inner power to practice the thousand-clawed figure of the shadow,

well, I'll start with the use of power in the first place

"Thousand Shadow Claws"

*Crash Crash*

*Twx*

*cretact*

*Gedebug*

Not until two attacks, the tree that had not been cut down by Gofan before now fell, now uprooted,

"It's faster than I thought, just one claw strike produces dozens of shadows, if I can completely master this stance, how powerful my attack is"

Gofan stared at his claw-shaped fingers of his hand, he felt that his attack would become extremely powerful if he could master a thousand shadow claws.

Seeing the tree fall, Gofan stopped his attack and re-regulated his breathing.

Gofan paused for a while, closing both his eyes and directing his thoughts into the octagon cube, he observed how the energy essence state after he used his profound energy.

Gofan found that the essence of energy in the form of blue liquid has been reduced by several layers, there appears to be empty space in the octagon cube that is not filled with energy essence, the essence of energy,

- As I thought, this blue liquid is indeed my inner energy, I have to prove, what this fluid is also my mental energy

"Demon Eyes"

*zyuut*

Gofan opened his two eyes, a green light shot out from Gofan's two eyes, flowing into his right palm, then he pointed it at the trunk of the tree that had just fallen. The trunk of the tree was shrouded in green light and began to move following the direction of Gofan's right hand movement.

- The weight of this tree is quite heavy, I have to use both my hands-

*zyuut*

The green light which was the mental energy from the power of the demonic eye flowed into Gofan's left palm. Now Gofan's two hands twitched in the direction of the green light to control the fallen tree trunk.

"Hyaarrgh....!!!"

*cretact*

*Twx*

The trunk of the tree split and exploded, until it became small pieces of wood.

"Damn, I am exerting too much mental energy, these woods are smaller than the size of wood for firewood"

"Akh, come on, today's task is done, there's still a lot of time left, I'll deepen the figure of a thousand shadow claws"

Seeing the tree trunk explode and become small pieces of wood made Gofan aware he was using a slightly excessive amount of mental energy.

After tidying up the small piece of wood, Gofan once again closed his eyes and directed his mind to the octagon cube to observe the essence of energy within that cube, which was the essence of the energy within that cube,

- The amount is reduced more than the use of internal energy,-

From Gofan's observation, he realized that the essence of energy would be reduced more when he used mental energy than when he used inner power.

Previously, the essence of the energy in the form of blue liquid, there were about 100 layers in the cube, after the use of deep power, the layer was reduced by eight layers, and the, and reduced by 23 layers after using mental energy,

- The use of mental energy consumes almost three times that of the use of inner power, in the fight I have to be careful using this mental energy-it

After understanding what had happened to the use of the blue liquid inside the octagon cube, Gofan opened his eyes and began to mount the horses, putting up an attacking position using the thousand-claw shadow stance, he was preparing to practice that again.

It was late in the afternoon, almost in the evening when Gofan began to practice again, deepening the thousand-clawed stance of the shadow. Gofan continuously repeated some basic movements before starting to other movements, he continued to repeat the activity many times, basic movements then other movements, basic movements and then other movements, other movements, so on until hundreds of movements.

Gofan only stopped practicing when he felt the essence of energy inside the cube was almost depleted, only a few layers of blue liquid were left. Gofan who was slightly exhausted, laid his body on the grass of the courtyard, while staring, looking up towards the sky, looking up,

I think it's enough, I'll eat and clean up first... The stars are so beautiful, Is it true that when a swordsman reaches a high level he can fly between the stars?-

*Tyoung*

*Gedebluk*

As Gofan was lying down a stone wrapped in paper flew up and fell down next to him.

*zyuut*

- I guess, an incandescent fireball, I was moving too fast, it turned out to be just an ordinary stone, what paper is that?-

Gofan moved quickly to avoid the falling stone, he used a lightning step, instantly he was already standing a few steps from his position lying down before. At that moment Gofan realized that the falling stone was not an incandescent fireball, and he saw a paper wrapping around the stone.

Even though it was night, Gofan could still see clearly, his eyes were glowing with green light, he could see clearly at night with the help of the green light from the power of the devil's eyes. Gofan picked up the stone and took out the paper that wrapped the stone,

- Is this a message?... Added training? For the third day onwards, I have to move some rocks around the hill, bring it down the hill, and like that every day!, rocks?... What stone?-

It turned out that the paper was a message from Mouhuli that added to Gofan's training pattern, from tomorrow Gofan had to move the stone from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill.

Gofan then looked around, and found hundreds of large stones to the west of the grove of trees he had to cut down, he said,

- This*really strange physical exercise, even stranger than my father's training.

- Really, I can add the physical exercise pattern my father taught me... Okay, tomorrow I'll start it*.!-.

Although Mouhuli increased the amount of activities that Gofan had to do, he seemed happy and excited, even Gofan planned to do the physical exercises that his father, Lenhao, had taught him.

***

The next day, as usual Gofan drew water in the lake and filled the water barrel, and he carried a stone as big as himself, brought the stone down the hill, and placed it around the lip of the lake.

It was still not noon, Gofan caught a rabbit and looked for some herbs to make soup, while continuing to read the books he had.

After eating, she prepared to do the physical training her father taught her, the training consisted of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and a few hundred steps, running, and it has to be done routinely over and over again,

- Hesh... I used to give up on this exercise, now that I have to finish it, it's not even as heavy as moving the stone

Gofan completed his father-style training after running hundreds of rounds around the hill. As it was almost evening Gofan began to train a thousand-claw shadow stance and tore down another tree, then used the power of the devil's eyes to cut the tree trunk into small pieces.

As night fell, Gofan trained his energy cultivation by practicing the knowledge from the Nine Heavens Heaven Book.

- Apparently this blue liquid layer can be added again-

As Gofan absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, he realized that the energy essence layer inside his octagon cube had increased from 100 layers to 178 layers of blue liquid.

Gofan continued to cultivate his energy, he continued to add layers of energy essence within the octagon cube, he continued to add,

still can increase... Goody... Good, this way I'll have more inner energy and mental energy

The layers of energy essence continued to grow, as Gofan continuously absorbed the heaven and earth origin energy. The new gofan stops when the blue liquid layer reaches 216 layers,

I think the layers can still be added, tomorrow I will continue again

Thus, Gofan continued to practice, repeating the activities he did like that for 20 days later. On the 23rd day of his training, Xionan suddenly appeared before Gofan. Xionan has returned from his journey investigating the precious treasures in the Julala cave.

Seriate...
