On the first peak, no one can cross the isolation formation and see the scene inside Ning Fan's cave...

If they could see it, they would be shocked. It was Ning Fan's first time condensing war crystals, but he had avoided all the mistakes that beginners might make.

If we only look at the crystal condensation techniques, Ning Fan has achieved almost perfection, which is not far behind those monks from the Luo family who have been condensing war crystals for many years.

All of this is naturally because Ning Fan opened the first door to heaven and humanity.

Although it was the first time to condense war crystals, there were no problems with the technique.

However, this time the condensed war crystal still ended in failure.

When the Dao power of war continued to pour into the Dao crystal and reached a limit, the Dao crystal in Ning Fan's hand suddenly trembled violently, and then was broken by the Dao power and turned into powder...

Looking at the Dao crystal powder in his hand, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with green light, and he thought thoughtfully,

"My technique has almost no flaws. The reason why I can't make a war crystal is not a problem with the technique, but a problem with my own cultivation of the God of War..."

Ning Fan flicked his sleeves and took a war crystal from the war crystal hill, then put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

After all, war crystals are made of Dao crystals.

Ordinary Dao crystals are mostly clear, but after being made into war crystals, the surface color will turn into fiery red.

On the surface of this war crystal, there is this layer of fiery red power, which is like a seal. It seals the power of war within the crystal according to certain rules.

This fiery red power is the ‘power of war’ recorded in the God of War Art.

The flame of war is also known as the fire of fighting spirit. Practitioners of the God of War Art, in the final analysis, want to cultivate the natal war fire in the body.

The practice of war requires constant consumption of war crystals.

The power of war can be used to condense war crystals.

"I don't have the power of war in my body, so I can't make a war crystal... The training of this God of War Transformation, to put it bluntly, is 'step by step and interlocking'..."

Ning Fan recalled in his mind the training method of the first transformation of the God of War Art, and gradually became silent.

If you want to master the first change of battle tactics, you need to cultivate at least nine groups of natal battle flames before you can try to break through.

The process of condensing the flames of war is nothing more than condensing the battle crystals, subduing the battle crystals, cultivating the flames of war, condensing the battle crystals again, and so on.

Of course, if you are unable to condense the war crystals, you can also cultivate the first batch of natal war flames just by relying on the technique itself, but that method extremely tests your understanding and is too slow.

Ning Fan did not continue to try to make the war crystal, but closed his eyes and silently felt the immortal fighting spirit of the first peak of Broken Halberd.

The fighting spirit on Broken Halberd Peak is not that of being war-crazy, but of having to fight.

This is the persistent fighting spirit retained by the ancestor of Shenxu when he was besieged by several demon emperors of the same level, with the determination to fight to the death!

On that day, the ancestor of Shenxu must be on the verge of despair...

On that day, the founder of Shenxu fought a desperate battle and risked his own life. His fighting spirit remains to this day...

Ning Fan's mind seemed to follow the fighting spirit on Broken Halberd Peak and go back to a long, long time ago.

In front of his eyes, a boundless wilderness battlefield seemed to emerge.

On this battlefield, hundreds of millions of monks and monsters are killing each other. They are fighting fiercely for their respective tribes!

His heart seemed to have returned to ancient times.

His path gradually coincided with the first peak of Broken Halberd.

The first peak of war power was once again attracted by Ning Fan, and they converged towards his body, forming a vortex of fighting spirit in his body.

In that whirlpool, a little spark gradually appeared. It was very small and weak, but it was indeed the spark of the fire of fighting spirit!

It's just that this Mars is so small that it's almost impossible to see it with the naked eye.

The night passed quietly, and Ning Fan's practice this night only made the fighting spirit sparks increase several times, which was still invisible to the naked eye.

If he continues to practice at this speed, maybe after thirty to fifty thousand years of practice, Ning Fan will be able to cultivate the first group of natal war flames.

This speed is too slow! If it continues at this speed, it will probably take Ning Fan three to five million years to completely master the first change of battle tactics...

"Without the War Crystal, it would be too time-consuming to practice this technique..."

Ning Fan's eyes moved slightly, he took a piece of high-grade war crystal and swallowed it in one gulp.

As soon as his mind moved, the war crystal immediately melted into his body, and all the fighting spirit sealed in the war crystal exploded in an instant.

In an instant, Ning Fan's eyes turned blood red, and his expression became crazy and war-hungry. This is the reaction that any monk would have after taking the War Crystal.

But as Ning Fan activated the God of War Art, the fighting spirit that was growing crazily in his body was immediately suppressed bit by bit, and was then absorbed by the fighting spirit sparks in Ning Fan's body.

After refining the first low-grade war crystal, Ning Fan continued to refine the second, third, and fourth pieces...

When refining the 11th war crystal, Ning Fan's complexion began to turn red.

When refining the 39th war crystal, blood suddenly oozed out from under Ning Fan's skin, staining his white robe red.

When 106 war crystals were refined, Ning Fan had almost become a bloody man, and the fire of war in his body suddenly showed signs of instability.

Without any hesitation, Ning Fan opened his scarlet eyes and forcibly stopped practicing the God of War Art.

"106 high-grade war crystals...is this the limit of my service crystals..." Ning Fan said with a slightly regretful expression.

The spark of fighting spirit in his body has grown into a small flame of war, but due to excessive use of crystals, there are signs of instability.

His body suffered severe backlash due to excessive consumption of crystals.

Although War Crystal can assist in practicing the God of War Art, it also has quite a few drawbacks.

Every practitioner of the God of War Technique has his or her own crystal limit. Beyond this limit, the flames of war will become unstable and the body will suffer backlash.

Ordinary practitioners who take more than 10 low-grade war crystals in a row will reach their limit. They need to practice hard for a long time and sharpen their fighting spirit before they can continue to take crystals to practice.

Practitioners with the five types of combat constitutions can continuously consume hundreds of low-grade combat crystals before reaching the limit of taking crystals.

Ning Fan's service crystal limit is 106 high-grade war crystals.

Theoretically speaking, after consuming these amounts of war crystals, he must spend a considerable amount of time in seclusion to practice hard and stabilize the realm of war before he can continue to take the war crystals and practice.

"From a physical perspective alone, my qualifications for practicing the God of War Art are not as good as those of those who have a fighting body. This is an indisputable fact. But I also have other ways to make my cultivation speed not weaker than those of those fighting body practitioners!"

Ning Fan changed out of his blood-stained clothes, put on another white robe, crossed his legs on the ground, and used the power of the black star in his body to heal his injuries.

After the injury healed, Ning Fan activated the evil energy in his body, and the evil energy and blood flames gradually ignited under his body.

This evil aura was deliberately controlled by Ning Fan and was limited to the scope of the cave, without any leakage.

After releasing the evil energy all over his body, the unstable war flames in Ning Fan's body gradually calmed down.

"Although I am not a warrior cultivator, the battles I have experienced are not comparable to those of ordinary warrior cultivators! The unyielding fighting spirit in this life was all born in this killing!"

The war has calmed down, which means that after he released his evil spirit, the upper limit of the crystals he can take is different.

He continued to take war crystals. This time, he took nearly a thousand high-grade war crystals in succession before reaching the upper limit of taking war crystals again.

Seeing this, Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to his face, and transformed into a ghost-faced silver-haired body.

The moment he summoned the ghost face, his expression immediately became as cold as ice. The fire in his body also instantly became quiet, with no sign of instability anymore.

He continued to take war crystals. This time, he consumed 10,000 low-grade war crystals. He took another 1,500 mid-grade war crystals before reaching the limit of taking war crystals!

If the Luo family knew this, they would be shocked. Because even the former war king Luo Hu could not take so many war crystals at one time!

"Refining!"

Ning Fan said one word coldly, under the silver ghost face, the blood pupils were cold and ruthless.

After refining all the power of the war crystal, Ning Fan's mind united with Broken Halberd Peak, and he continued to refine the fire of war within his body in this cave.

This retreat lasted for three months.

Three months later, Ning Fan suddenly stood up and stood in the cave with his hands behind his hands.

On his body, there were three fist-sized red flames hovering!

This red flame is the fire of fighting spirit needed to practice the God of War Art.

The first transformation of the God of War requires cultivating nine groups of war flames to be truly completed. The power of war flames can be used to greatly increase the physical realm.

There are not a few people in the Luo family who have cultivated three groups of war flames, but most of them have spent decades or even hundreds of years cultivating to this point.

Ning Fan, it only took three months!

With a thought, I collected three groups of war flames.

Ning Fan put away the remaining 500 middle-grade war crystals and flew out of the cave in a flash, heading towards Ziluo City.

When he flew out of the cave, his guest Meng Xiu happened to be walking out of the cave as well.

Looking at Ning Fan's back in the sky, Meng Xiu snorted with disdain and said with a sneer, "This person has been in seclusion for three months, and I don't know if he has even cultivated the fire of war..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly showed a look of disbelief. He slapped the storage bag and took out a flame compass.

This compass is called the War Fire Compass. It is a magic weapon made by Meng Xiu himself. He is the only one in the Luo family who holds this treasure. He can measure the number of his own war fires and can also see the number of other people's war fires.

At this moment, the war compass was facing the direction of Ning Fan, and three wisps of fighting flames suddenly appeared on it!

"Three regiments of war fire! How is it possible! This person has just been a guest of the Luo family for three months, how can he possibly cultivate the three regiments of war fire! I think back then, I practiced for six thousand years just from the second war fire to the third war fire.

ah!"
