Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 24 One Year Later
…
Everything is back to the way it was before.
Everyone practiced martial arts step by step.
However, everyone could feel that Xiling was keeping a closer watch on them. Before, there were only Master Chen and Miss Hong.
Now there is not only the huge Kunlun Morel, but also the "Dog King" Chen Laogou who I have met once.
Twelve ferocious dogs with keen sense of smell are watching day and night, so the training ground has been very peaceful.
The days go by one after another.
A year passes in the blink of an eye.
Host: Xu Rui.
Qualification: Acquired mortal body (97%)
Body Refining: Meishan Fist (9th rank, mid-level / Bone Refining Realm / Progress 43%)
Spell: Spiritual Treasure Puppetry (Eighth Grade Superior / Foundation Building Stage / Progress 6%)
Marrow washing points: 2 points.
Looking at the virtual panel.
In one year, Meishan Fist improved by 14%, while Lingbao Puppetry only improved by 3%. Although the latter seemed much less, his success rate in drawing puppet talismans increased by nearly double.
The color of the puppet's fundamental symbol in the sea of consciousness has also become much deeper, and its spiritual charm is stronger.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't draw the "ninth-grade medium" puppet talisman.
According to the "Spiritual Treasure Puppetry Technique", the lower-grade ninth-grade puppet talismans can only deal with mortal beasts.
Only puppet talismans of the "middle grade ninth level" can deal with powerful warriors, monks, demons and monsters.
However, cultivation is something that cannot be rushed. The correct way is to practice step by step.
Of course, there are shortcuts.
Marrow washing point.
He clearly felt that as he continued to cleanse his essence and marrow, not only did his body become stronger, his mind also became clearer, and his comprehension was much higher than before.
The improvement in his comprehension allowed him to comprehend the Lingbao Puppet Technique faster than before.
Therefore, as long as there are enough marrow cleansing points, his comprehension will continue to improve, and his future cultivation will become smoother and smoother.
The only pity is that the marrow cleansing point is difficult to find.
He folded up the panel and strode out to continue his practice for the day.
The standing posture is over.
After Master Chen gathered everyone.
"The latest among you has been here for nearly a year. You have all learned my Meishan Fist and have made rapid progress. I am very pleased. You will have another month of practice time, and after a month there will be a formal competition. I hope you will work hard and show your best."
A solemn and dignified gaze swept over everyone.
"The result of the duel will determine your status in the Xialing. Will you be rich and powerful, or just like everyone else, living a mediocre life? It all depends on you."
Waved.
"That's all I have to say. Everyone, go away and come back to practice boxing after dinner."
"Xu Rui, come to my room after dinner."
Hearing this, eyes of envy and jealousy were instantly focused on him.
However, compared to a year ago, no one dared to question Master Chen's preference for him.
After more than a dozen ring duels, Xu Rui has beaten everyone here with his fists and is the undisputed strongest man.
"yes!"
Xu Rui responded respectfully.
With a calm expression, he ignored the complicated looks around him and strode towards the cafeteria.
Faced with an uncertain future, he has thought about hiding himself, which is safer.
But Master Chen taught him that in the path of cultivation one must fight for what is necessary.
If you don't fight for it, you won't get any resources. No matter how good your qualifications are, without resources, your cultivation will improve slowly. If you are slow at one step, all the steps will be slow. Even the best of your qualifications will eventually be lost among the crowd.
The story of hurting Zhongyong can also be applied to cultivation.
Staying hidden is safe, but your improvement will be slow; fighting is dangerous, but your progress will be rapid.
Xu Rui considered it for a night and chose the latter.
After all, I have a golden finger, so of course I have to fight hard.
…
Thanks to his breakthrough in cultivation, his appetite has evolved from three bowls of rice to six bowls of rice.
I eat more, but I eat faster.
The secret method of plum blossom breath can strengthen not only bones but also internal organs.
After breakfast, I rushed to Master Chen’s room.
The latter had already had breakfast and was waiting for him.
"Come, give me a hand."
Xu Rui took skillful steps and stretched out his hands.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
The hands intersect, and each feels the force between the palms.
It was slow at first, but got faster and faster and stronger towards the end.
Sudden.
boom.
A muffled sound.
Xu Rui took three steps back before he could stand firm.
"Good boy, you have made progress again."
Master Chen smiled.
"Thanks to the teacher's teaching, I am where I am today."
"You, stop flattering me. Come and sit down."
After nodding, he sat down on the stool next to him without any hesitation.
Master Chen poured him a cup of tea.
He quickly stood up and took it with both hands.
"Thank you, teacher."
After a slight smile.
"Now, you have already made some progress in bone forging. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be a problem for you to rank among the top . But don't let your guard down. Ma Changan, Bai Jiang, and Tu Feng may not be as good as you in martial arts, but they have practiced martial arts for a longer time and have more sophisticated fighting styles. If you are careless, you may lose."
"Teacher, rest assured. I will never be careless in the slightest."
"I'm glad you have this intention."
Seeing his serious expression, Master Chen also showed a teachable smile on his face.
"Teacher, there is something I don't understand?"
"you say."
"As far as I know, most of the people who were chosen to come here are from the lower class like me. Even if they have some kung fu, most of them are not very strong. Only Ma Changan, Bai Jiang, Tu Feng, Liu Sanlang and others are very strong. Judging from their dress and behavior, they don't look like ordinary people."
"Haha, it's rare that you can observe this, very good. Except for Tu Feng, who doesn't know the details, Ma Chang'an, Bai Jiang, Liu Sanlang and others all came from Xiangling."
"Xi Ling disciple?"
Xu Rui asked in surprise.
Master Chen nodded.
"The Blood Hall is the fifth hall established by Xiangling after the Dragon, Tiger and Leopard Halls. The chief has invested a huge amount of resources in it, and all those selected for the Blood Hall are talents picked from hundreds of thousands. Many elders in Xiangling have strong opinions about this."
"I think we can't give most of the resources of Xiling to the Blood Hall."
"In order to balance all parties, we decided to allow some of the children of the top leaders of Xiling to enter the Blood Hall for training."
"Ma Chang'an is the second son of Ma Shirong, the leader of the Xiangling Tiger Hall, and Bai Jiang is the third son of Bai Wushuang, the leader of the Leopard Hall."
"What about Xie Changfeng?"
Master Chen gave him a meaningful look.
"The Leopard Hall's main force is the musket team. There are three teams in total, each with 320 people. The first team is the strongest. It not only has muskets, but also box guns and Western-style electric guns. The captain of the first team is Xie Dahai, the deputy head of the Leopard Hall."
The Maxim gun is a type of rifle, and because of its fast firing rate, it is named "Maxim gun".
