The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#567 - Efficient

The group of women in purple skirts were watching the battle from the sidelines. Reading М

Seeing Lu Jing roll up his sleeves without a word, as if planning to go straight to it, one of them couldn't help but say.

"Isn't he a top expert on the Heavenly Pivot Ranking? Why doesn't he first test the opponent's strength with martial arts? Why use the great formation so early? If his secret energy is exhausted later, wouldn't he be in danger?"

"Isn't that even better? When the time comes, we can take action, and after getting that thing, we can also mock him and see how regretful he looks." The young man who had ridiculed Lu Jing earlier also sneered.

However, another companion beside him was obviously not so optimistic, frowning and saying, "If he does this, he might directly anger that strange creature. This is not in line with our original plan. What should we do then?"

The young man was speechless for a moment.

In the end, the woman in the purple skirt said, "If it really doesn't work, let's come back tomorrow. One day later shouldn't matter."

"Really, he's not very strong, but he's good at causing trouble for others," the young man said dissatisfied.

Just as they were talking, Lu Jing had already engaged with the stone python.

With his understanding of the Beast Control Formation and his proficiency in practicing it, of course, he couldn't come up with any fancy moves.

So, he just used a simple Force Character Formation and threw it over the python's head.

The stone python was originally happily eating dirt when suddenly its body sank, feeling that its body had suddenly become much heavier, especially its raised head, which felt like it was carrying a thousand pounds.

It couldn't help but want to lower its head, but soon, the bent snake head raised again.

At the same time, Lu Jing on the other side felt the consumption rate of his secret energy suddenly increase.

There's a chance! A look of joy flashed across Lu Jing's face.

He silently calculated that at the moment when the stone snake raised its head, the consumption rate of his secret energy had exceeded the Sword Control Technique of dual swordsmanship. Although the consumption rate of his secret energy has slowed down slightly now that the two are wrestling, he can still feel the loss of secret energy.

This also shows that he did not choose the wrong path.

So, Lu Jing decided to add more fire and took the initiative to jump out from behind the rock.

The stone python didn't know that it had been tricked. It was agitated because it couldn't find the mastermind, but it didn't expect the mastermind to run out on his own.

Seeing that the man was so bold, the stone python couldn't help but become furious. It immediately straightened its neck and rushed towards Lu Jing.

Seeing this, Lu Jing didn't dodge or evade, but used the formation plate to adjust the formation, changing the Force Character Formation into a Suppression Character Formation.

The stone python had already rushed to the edge of the formation, about to sweep Lu Jing away with its tail, but the next moment, its hard rock tail hit an invisible wall.

A loud bang was heard!

The terrifying sound waves spread far in the valley, startling countless birds.

However, what made the stone python unhappy was that the human on the opposite side was unscathed, and what's more, the latter looked at it with surprise.

It didn't seem to be frightened by its attack just now, but was looking forward to it doing a few more tail swings.

This was exactly what the stone python couldn't tolerate the most. It had made up its mind to give the human in front of it a profound lesson. Soon, it began to use its head and tail to launch a fierce attack on the invisible wall!

Each collision of the stone python was like a small mountain hitting head-on. This level of power was enough to erase any difference in skills and moves.

However, Lu Jing, as the opponent, did not show any panic from beginning to end. He just held the formation plate and stood firmly in place, as if he were a reef in the sea, no matter how the wind and waves raged, he could not shake him in the slightest.

"Is this the legendary perfect foundation building?" Although the two sides had some unpleasantness before, the woman in the purple skirt couldn't help but praise when she saw this scene.

"I've long heard that those with perfect foundation building consume secret energy much slower than ordinary cultivators when casting spells. Seeing it today is indeed well-deserved. Facing such a terrible attack, they can still last so long. Just this point, none of the new students this year can do it, right?"

"But so what," the young man said sourly, "I don't believe he can keep it up."

The others had similar views. The defense of this unknown great formation did seem to be very powerful now, far exceeding their imagination. It could even withstand this level of attack, but if it only defends and doesn't attack, defeat is only a matter of time.

Including the woman in the purple skirt, they all felt that it wouldn't be too long before Lu Jing changed his formation and turned from defense to offense.

Even the stone python thought so.

After attacking for a long time without success, it also became dizzy from the collisions. To prevent Lu Jing's attack, it slowed down the speed of its collisions and beatings.

However, Lu Jing then told everyone with practical actions—changing the formation does not exist.

That's right, the Beast Control Formation is indeed exquisite and extraordinary, with forty-nine changes, but Lu Jing can only use the Force Character Formation and the Suppression Character Formation, and he has already explained these two changes without reservation from the beginning.

It can be said that he didn't hide anything.

As for the question of how to win by only defending, Lu Jing never even considered it.

He never thought about winning against the stone python in front of him. From the beginning, he just wanted to trap the latter and use the stone python to work hard to consume the secret energy in his body.

So far, Lu Jing is quite satisfied with this effect. If he continues like this, he will be able to consume all the remaining secret energy in three or four hours.

This consumption rate is exactly what Lu Jing dreamed of.

What, you say what to do after that? Just run away when the time comes, and come back tomorrow to continue the relationship after the secret energy is restored.

Lu Jing didn't know if the stone python had any opinions, but he himself was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Therefore, the changes that the woman in the purple skirt and others had imagined did not come for a long time. Lu Jing just mixed the two changes. When the stone python wanted to leave the great formation or attack him, he used the Suppression Character Formation. When the latter hesitated or slacked off after hitting it for a while, Lu Jing used the Force Character Formation to stimulate it and help it fight.

Repeating this cycle, a full hour passed, and the group of women in purple skirts on the side had long been stunned. They didn't even notice that the invisibility formation had disappeared.
