Chapter 64 Restraint
Chapter 64 Restraint
Gu Shenyan subconsciously activated the Pearl of the Vast Ocean, unleashing the stored high-pressure water flow.
The water condensed like steel, forming a wall of water that blocked his way.
"Bang!"
The water wall crumbled at the slightest touch from the dragon's attack!
That seemingly solid barrier turned out to be as fragile as paper in its presence.
Gu Shenyan felt a tremendous force strike him, and he was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a truck.
"squeak!"
At this critical moment, the water monkey suddenly moved.
Its form transformed into a streak of dark blue light, sweeping past the water droplets of the dragon.
At the same time, he slapped Gu Shenyan on the back, using the force to push him out of the attack range of the dragon snake.
Gu Shenyan rolled several times on the ground before regaining his footing.
He looked up and saw that the water monkey was already locked in combat with the dragon.
Whenever the dragon attacks with a stream of water, the water monkey will use the force to deflect the water to the side;
When it charges at you, the water monkey will turn into a water shadow and glide past you.
It's like a slippery loach; no matter how the dragon attacks, it can't catch it.
Gu Shenyan suddenly realized.
In this battle of consciousness, the water monkey could not harm the dragon snake in the slightest, but it was able to hold its own against it for a long time.
This is the value of the "introduction".
Having figured this out, Gu Shenyan quickly began to observe the Chi snake's every move with full concentration.
He observed that when the dragon was chasing the water monkey, the water ripples around its body would progress from the outside inwards, layer by layer, eventually converging on the fleshy horns of the dragon's head, causing its body to move with the water flow.
This is the application of "Diving Abyss"!
Gu Shenyan's eyes lit up, wanting to take a closer look.
But just then, the dragon seemed to realize that he was being watched.
It suddenly turned its head and stared intently at Gu Shenyan.
"roar!"
The dragon abandoned its pursuit of the water monkey and instead pounced on Gu Shenyan.
Upon seeing this, the water monkey immediately came to protect its master.
It spread its arms, and the water around it surged, forming a curtain of water that blocked the path of the dragon.
The dragon slammed its head into the water curtain, splashing water everywhere.
Using the force of the dragon's impact, the water monkey nimbly flipped over and landed on the dragon's back.
Its sharp claws scraped across its scales, making a harsh, grinding sound.
Although it didn't leave any marks, it successfully drew their attention back.
The dragon roared and thrashed its body, trying to shake the water monkey off.
The water monkey seemed to be attached to its body; no matter how much it shook, it couldn't get rid of it.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Shenyan once again observed the water patterns flowing around the dragon snake.
He discovered that the way the water ripples flowed changed again when the dragon swayed its body.
It spreads outwards, layer by layer, as if releasing some kind of power.
This is the exact opposite of the previous circulation method.
One gathers, one releases; one gathers, one disperses.
Gu Shenyan had a vague understanding in his heart, but he couldn't quite grasp that elusive inspiration.
Just as he was racking his brains, the water monkey could no longer hold on.
The dragon snake has changed its attack method this time.
It swayed its body in the water, its scales billowing up.
—Scales!
A barrage of compressed water spikes, as dense as a sudden rain, was ejected from the gaps in its scales, blasting the water monkey away.
"squeak!"
The water monkey let out a miserable cry, its body disintegrating in mid-air and turning into specks of water that vanished.
Seeing this, Gu Shenyan quickly opened up the water wall.
Even from such a distance, the sporadic splashes of water still made him feel as if he were being riddled with machine gun fire, creating an immense sense of pressure.
Freed from its restraints, the dragon's gaze once again fell upon the human before it.
Gu Shenyan knew something was wrong and withdrew from the battlefield of consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back in reality.
He looked down at the water monkey spirit in his hand; the light was about 10% dimmer than before.
This "introduction" was indeed very important; without the water monkey and the dragon snake dealing with each other, he would have had no chance to observe at all.
If he can seize every opportunity, he should be able to reach the condensation threshold before his spiritual energy is depleted.
However, I need to rest now and recover my consciousness.
………………
The next day, after his routine talisman practice, Gu Shenyan entered the consciousness battlefield for the second time.
This time, he focused more on observing the water patterns flowing around the dragon.
The water monkey remained loyal, standing in front of him and fighting the dragon.
Its movements were more agile than the first time, and it seemed to have grown in the battle against the dragon.
Every dodge and every instance of using leverage was perfectly timed, like a piece of duckweed floating on the water, drifting with the current yet always remaining afloat.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Shenyan focused intently on observing the Chi Snake's every move.
He discovered that when the Chi snake used "Diving Abyss," the flow of water patterns was divided into three stages.
Phase 1: From the outside in, layer by layer, the water flow throughout the body is gathered to the surface of the body.
Second stage: The water flow forms a water film on the body surface, completely enveloping the dragon snake.
The third stage: The water film merges with the surrounding water, and the shape of the dragon becomes blurred, as if it has disappeared into the water.
The three stages are progressive and none can be omitted.
Gu Shenyan's heart stirred, and he began to try to simulate the flow of water within his body.
He guided the water-elemental spiritual energy within his body, allowing it to progress layer by layer from the outside in.
First attempt, failed.
The spiritual energy had barely circulated once before it scattered and failed to form any water ripples.
The second attempt also failed.
This time he lasted longer, and his spiritual energy circulated twice, but he still collapsed on the third circumference.
Just as he was about to make a third attempt, the water monkey was once again obliterated by "Scale Shot".
This time, the progress is going quite well.
Gu Shenyan withdrew from the battlefield of consciousness and began to replay the scene of Chi She using "Dive into the Abyss" in his mind.
He imagined himself as that dragon, and imagined water ripples flowing around his body.
From the outside in, layer by layer... Gradually, he entered a mysterious state.
…………
Through repeated attempts, Gu Shenyan gradually discovered that the key to "Diving Abyss" lies in a kind of "intention".
It is a sense of "selflessness," a sense of "becoming one with water."
The ripples on the water are just an external appearance; the real essence is to let your mind merge with the water.
"Water has no fixed shape, therefore it can disappear into the formless."
This realization allowed him to formally enter the realm of "sensation".
He tried to use the supernatural power of "Diving Abyss," and spiritual energy flowed around his body, transforming into layers of water ripples.
The water ripples spread from the outside in, layer by layer, forming a thin film of water on the body surface.
In an instant, his figure became somewhat blurry, and he had already touched the threshold of the "Abyss"!
The three-dimensional mirror's indication confirmed his intuition:
[Congratulations, host, on entering the "Sense" Realm!]
[Current Status: Can initially use supernatural powers, lasting approximately three breaths, with weak effects]
………………
With the fifth, sixth, and seventh attempts, Gu Shenyan's comprehension progressed steadily.
He gains something every time he enters the battlefield of consciousness.
The next step is the ninth time entering the consciousness battlefield; this will be the last chance.
The water monkey's spirit has very little spiritual energy left; it can only sustain itself this time at most.
