Chapter 36 Cyclone Forming
After clearing the third game, his total merit reached 138 points, and he was finally able to buy a discounted two-star game.

There is no rush to buy new games.

Zhou Ze couldn't wait to replace the empty skill slot 'Inquiry' with 'Mirror Flower and Water Moon', summoning the mirror image clone for the first time in reality.

All the spiritual power in the dantian was drawn away, and a blue gleam appeared in the palm of his hand, and an entity with the same appearance as him quickly condensed in front of him, not only in appearance and figure, but also in the clothes he was wearing.

"The consumption is quite large."

The deficit in his dantian made him a little weak, so he forcibly turned his attention to the clone in front of him.

He reached out and pinched the clone's face. The touch was no different from the real person.

However, the clone's expression was rigid and he looked like a paralyzed person. He didn't know if he could communicate with people normally. It was hard to imagine that letting him go for a physical examination on his behalf would not reveal his secret.

"Talk to me." Zhou Ze ordered.

The avatar didn't respond.

The low-intelligence mirror image clone can only listen to simple commands, and it is naturally impossible to complete the complex behavior of talking, which requires self-awareness.

"By the way, the avatar can also be remotely manipulated with thoughts."

Zhou Ze remembered the content in the skill introduction, and tried to transfer his thoughts to the avatar.

A strange sense of trance flashed through.

When he came back to his senses, he was still in front of him, but his perspective was subtly changed.

"I am now... clone?"

Zhou Ze tried to move his hands, but found that the body he manipulated was extremely weak, and he became breathless after only a few punches.

It can be seen that the body of the clone is really weak.

He can also clearly feel that every time he does strenuous exercise, a wave of energy in his body will be consumed at an accelerated rate. If he guessed correctly, it is the spiritual power that forms and maintains the existence of the clone.

"The consumption is too fast. If the consumption speed of punching just now is maintained, the spiritual power will be exhausted within a few minutes."

In the game, he still didn't know how much the avatar consumed, but now he finally figured it out.

Even if the avatar is made to stand still, it might not be able to last an hour with his current spiritual power.

Zhou Ze looked at the sluggish main body, and patted his shoulder twice: "When the mind manipulates the avatar, can my own body have no way to move? And I don't have any perception of the outside world... This is too defenseless, and I don't know if I am carried away .”

It seems impossible to control the avatar with one mind and two purposes. You can't have it both ways.

Coupled with the 100-meter limit for remote control, this auxiliary function is far less effective than imagined, and the limitations are too great.

The test continues.

Zhou Ze picked up a fruit knife from the table and cut his finger. Since it wasn't his own body, he didn't feel any pain, but drops of blood leaked out from between the fingers of his avatar.

"So real?"

He never expected that the clone would even bleed.

But he didn't intend to let the avatar replace the blood test. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. At worst, the main body will go to the blood draw and then lie that he has a stomachache, go to the toilet to replace the avatar, or reverse it.

The blood test will not be able to check the strength of the body, and it is the same whether the main body or the clone is tested.

He manipulated the avatar and did several basic physical fitness tests.

I get tired after two or three sit-ups, I can’t even do a single push-up, I’m out of breath after running for two steps, I can’t even lift 80 catties of rice... Those with poor physical strength are like a [-]-[-]-year-old old man.

"It's not like this in the game... Oh yes, the game is my future self."

The world game predicted that he would definitely be able to increase the strength of his avatar to the level of an ordinary person, but he still couldn't relax.

Trying to let the avatar consume spiritual power to strengthen the body, the physical fitness has doubled in an instant, not only can do dozens of push-ups and sit-ups without panting, even Su Hao can lift more than 100 kilograms of himself.

But the consumption is also huge.

In just one or two minutes, the spiritual power to maintain the existence of the clone was exhausted.

The avatar gradually disappeared in an extremely illusory fading process, and the blood dripping from the cut finger before also disappeared like an illusion.

"Consuming spiritual power can indeed greatly increase the combat power of the avatar."

Consciousness returned to the body, Zhou Ze took a long breath, took out the spirit stone from the storage bar and breathed in to replenish it.

This high-level spiritual stone has been absorbed for nearly a week, and the light has not weakened at all. This shows that the concentration of spiritual energy inside is very high, and it is almost inexhaustible for a newbie like him who has just started to practice breathing and breathing.

There is no need to worry about not having a source of spiritual power for a long time.

The health center doesn't know what kind of testing procedures there are... Let's take some time the day after tomorrow to go and ask other examiners. The 'Inquiry' skill will come in handy.

After testing the mirror image clone, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Ze went back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed to continue breathing.

A peaceful night, eight hours of breathing.

The first thing he did after waking up was to check his character data.

[Zhou Ze: Human, 178cm tall, 140kg in weight, healthy. 】

[Physical strength is 4 points, spiritual strength is 6.3 points, special skills are 24 points, combat knowledge is 2.3 points, and carrying equipment is 32 points. 】

[The total basic combat power is 68.6 points. 】

[Comprehensive evaluation: For rookies with low combat effectiveness, it is recommended to use 1-star games or a small number of 2-star games. 】

[This character has a consumable item 'Absolute Intuition Experience Card', which can temporarily increase the combat power by 3~30 times, and lasts for 15 minutes. 】

"Physical strength increased by 0.7 points, and spiritual strength increased by 1.8 points. The speed of increase is more than double that of before?"

Zhou Ze was both surprised and delighted.

Although he doesn't know what caused the accelerated progress of his training, as long as he maintains this pace, by three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, he will be able to increase his physical strength to at least close to 7 points, and his spiritual strength to more than 12 points.

Do you want to spend the next day and a half on spitting?
Zhou Ze thought for a moment, turned on his phone and ordered a takeaway braised chicken, deciding to think while eating.

Just after placing the order, before he had time to pay, his expression changed suddenly.

Obviously he didn't use Xuanxiu breathing method, but the spiritual power cyclone at the dantian took the initiative to breathe out spiritual energy from the air, which was manic and restless, and the whole process was accompanied by a sense of excitement that made people unable to calm down.

what happens? !Wait... This is a precursor to the formation of a cyclone!
Zhou Ze recalled the introductory process of cultivation described in Xuan Xiu's Breathing Method, and showed a look of ecstasy.

The first step on the road of cultivation is to completely form an independent and stable spiritual power cyclone at the dantian.

The spiritual power cyclone he breathed out and operated before was just a prototype, and it would only manifest and operate when he used it.

The real spiritual power cyclone is different. It will actively connect with the big and small circles to form a cycle, and it no longer needs to actively breathe out spiritual power. It can also absorb spiritual energy from the air naturally like breathing... Of course, the efficiency is far less than Normal breathing is high, but it is also equivalent to passive cultivation.

He took out the spirit stone that had just been put away and held it tightly in the palm of his hand, closing his eyes and performing the breathing method.

The cyclone at the dantian three inches below the navel turned into a hungry beast, frantically devouring the mixed and thin spiritual energy in the air. After receiving the supply of spiritual energy from the spirit stone, it was finally satisfied and began to feast on it.

When the cyclone develops rapidly, it does not forget to spread the cool spiritual power to the meridians of the whole body.

That feeling is like peppermint soda flowing in every inch of blood vessel, so high that it makes the soul go numb, and there is a wonderful illusion that the consciousness breaks through the shackles of the body.
