Chapter 305 Transformation into a living person
"Oh~"
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded as if she understood. She could understand what Du Ruo said, but she couldn't understand the details because she had never experienced it.
"You don't need to understand now, you will understand slowly in the future."
Du Ruo smiled and did not continue to ask Xiang Yuanyuan to understand, but continued to explain.
"Initially, Qi can only protect the body. When the body is hurt, it can form a protective layer inside the body. It can also, to a certain extent, allow the body to release more functions so that muscles will not be damaged due to excessive force."
In fact, this is the most basic, but also the most practical. Theoretically, the human body's power potential is far more than what is shown, but the body limits the development of strength in order to protect itself from damage.
Once protected by "Qi", one can burst out with higher speed and power.
The most important example in this regard is the inhuman speed and strength that Du Ruo displayed when he used the hidden weapon, which eventually earned him the title of Eight-Armed Yama. His hands even left afterimages in the air.
Of course, that kind of high-load force that far exceeds the attributes at the time will result in a temporary lack of combat effectiveness. This also shows that "Qi" is not omnipotent and its degree of protection is limited.
"With the transformation of the body's spirit, Qi can appear outside the body and can be attached to weapons through the arms. The first thing I used was Panlong silk."
At this time, Du Ruo waved his arm lightly, and the red mist in his hand seemed to come alive, gathering together to form an extremely thin silk thread.
As Du Ruo waved his hand, the red silk thread actually began to wave in the air like the steel wire of Panlong Silk.
Xiang Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, she could no longer sit still, because she knew very well that Du Ruo was not wearing the Panlong bracelet, and without the Panlong bracelet, Du Ruo could still show the same effect as the Panlong silk.
"Panlong Silk is a unique weapon. The greatest difficulty lies in the control of the silk thread. Also, due to the limitation of the material, it is difficult to cause effective damage.
This can be well compensated by the "qi". When the "qi" is weak, it can slightly turn the wire and cling to the wire, greatly increasing its cutting ability. "
As Du Ruo spoke, his hands kept moving. The red mist flickered in the air as Du Ruo swung it. Although the red mist was not a physical object, it could not make any sound of breaking through the air.
But Xiang Yuanyuan seemed to have her own sound, after all, she had seen the Panlong silk when it was waving.
It's a pity that the things in the yard have been removed. Du Ruo's demonstration could have been more vivid and specific, and... this kind of demonstration cannot destroy anything, which is actually quite uncomfortable.
Du Ruo looked around and saw nothing worth destroying. Finally, he felt bored and stopped waving his hand, taking all the wisp of mist back into his palm.
"Can I touch it?"
Xiang Yuanyuan came over, looked at the red mist in Du Ruo's hand with wide eyes, and said the words she had been waiting for for a long time.
She had this idea ever since she saw tigers appearing around Du Ruo, but she never knew whether she could touch it. It was not until now that Du Ruo took the initiative to show it to her that she asked.
"Sure, you can try it."
Du Ruo smiled, and even made the mist in his hand begin to thicken.
"Eh~ I don't feel anything, and it's not because of my hand that anything has changed."
Xiang Yuanyuan's hand first gently touched the red mist in Du Ruo's hand, but no feeling appeared.
Even as the red mist in Du Ruo's hand thickened and became like water, she didn't feel anything. She could neither move it nor feel it real, nor could she hold it up. It just passed through like light and shadow.
“The human body has essence, energy and spirit. This energy should actually be called “qi”. It is just a kind of concrete representation. It should be colorless. As for the red color, it should be due to the essence and energy.
It doesn't exist in reality, so it's normal that you can't touch it. The only effect it can have is on myself. At present, unless I give it certain characteristics, it is difficult to affect reality.
With each transformation of the "spirit, energy and spirit", the "energy" will become richer, and not only the true meaning of martial arts can act on it, that is, the tiger you saw, but also the "five energies" in the chest can act on it. The sword swing I made yesterday should actually be one of them. "
Du Ruo saw that Xiang Yuanyuan was still trying to catch the "qi" in her hands without giving up, and did not stop her. Instead, he just watched and gave some explanations.
In fact, he can now give these "qi" certain characteristics, but he is not sure whether it will cause harm to Xiang Yuanyuan, so he better not try it.
"Hubby, you said that the Qi in the essence, spirit and soul can produce this red mist, which can protect oneself or bless weapons. Then what can the essence and soul produce? Other colors of mist? What are their uses?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was still tirelessly touching the red mist in Du Ruo's hand. The feeling of being able to see but not touch was a bit magical. As for asking questions, it was just a casual remark.
"Spirit and spirit?..."
When Du Ruo heard Xiang Yuanyuan say this, he subconsciously repeated it, but then opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Yes, it is useful after all. Qi can give birth to "Qi", so the others should not be useless." Xiang Yuanyuan did not notice Du Ruo's abnormality, and seemed a little frustrated because she could not catch the red mist in Du Ruo's hand. However, she still looked at Du Ruo's palm again and again unwillingly, and at the same time opened her own palm, as if she wanted to imitate him.
"Spirit and spirit are not completely useless... But, specifically..."
Du Ruo originally wanted to give Xiang Yuanyuan a brief explanation, but before he could finish his words, he rejected it himself and didn't say anything.
The specific definition of Jing, Qi and Shen is nothing more than body, energy and soul? Now that the energy represented by Qi has appeared in Du Ruo's hands, can we directly deny that it represents the body or soul? Or does it have no derivative ability?
"It seems like what you're asking is something I haven't considered before. Come, let's go to the table. I need to think about this problem."
The more Du Ruo thought about it, the more he realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding. Just now, Xiang Yuanyuan's words seemed to have enlightened him. He had been focusing on the development of "qi" and had never really thought about the abilities related to essence and spirit.
He simply stopped showing it. Anyway, he had already talked about the general idea of "Qi" and would make some summary later. Xiang Yuanyuan only needed to think about it and combined with Du Ruo's previous performance, she would be able to figure out many things.
"Essence represents the body. In a sense, the strength of essence can be directly reflected in muscles and bones, making them more resistant to blows and more powerful in bursts. The functionality of internal organs will also be enhanced.
As for the manifestation of strength, it is usually the degree of vitality and fire. My body has undergone several transformations, and now even the vitality and fire have completely disappeared and become one of the three flowers.
So what abilities does a spirit have?"
Du Ruo asked.
Xiang Yuanyuan on the side was just listening carefully. She knew that Du Ruo was not asking her a question, but was brainstorming and thinking about related issues.
Du Ruo had already reviewed in his mind everything from the beginning of his martial arts training to the present.
It seems that in addition to the strong body, the ability to recover is getting stronger and stronger. As for the other things...
While thinking, Du Ruo poked the muscles on his arms with his fingers. When Du Ruo did not exert any strength, his muscles were no different from those of ordinary people. He could press them lightly, and then they would recover when his fingers were removed.
Slowly, Du Ruo began to control his muscles and started moving.
In fact, Du Ruo's control over his body is not limited to emotions. From bones and muscles to skin and hair, he can easily control them as long as he wants.
For example, when Du Ruo was shot or injured in the past, Du Ruo was able to control the blood vessels through the skin and muscles to prevent the blood from flowing out. He could even undergo surgery directly without stopping the bleeding after being injured. This is the control of the body.
"What use can controlling the body have?"
Du Ruo said it softly, but the smile on his face began to grow bigger. Du Ruo thought of a function.
In fact, Du Ruo has developed the function of essence without realizing it. Strengthening the control over the body is itself a kind of development. In addition, things like strength and resistance to blows are all part of the function.
“Click, click, click, click~”
A sound came from Du Ruo's body, like the collision of metal, but because it was dull, it didn't sound so crisp.
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at Du Ruo's chest curiously, but because of the obstruction of clothes, she couldn't see the details.
"Kakakaka~~"
But immediately afterwards, Du Ruo's body began to crackle like frying beans, and the sound came not only from the chest, but also from the limbs and even the bones in the skull.
Then, under Xiang Yuanyuan's stunned gaze, Du Ruo's body seemed to shrink out of thin air.
The clothes, which were originally a little loose, became even smaller.
"Honey, watch out, something is about to happen."
Du Ruo smiled at Xiang Yuanyuan, then began to rub her face with her fingers. She pinched and lifted the bridge of her nose, and Du Ruo's nose was raised.
I pushed the cheek muscles upwards with my fingers, causing the jawbone to protrude slightly and the cheeks to become thinner.
With his palms pushing upwards on both sides of his eyebrows, Du Ruo's eye shape changed and his eyebrows became longer.
With just a few simple movements, Du Ruo's face changed drastically, as if he had become a different person.
"How is it? Do you still recognize me?"
Du Ruo walked out of his seat, then turned around in front of Xiang Yuanyuan, opened his mouth, and his voice changed, becoming a little hoarse.
