Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 67 Secret Place!
Fire base,
Training ground,
Fang You sat quietly here, his consciousness had already entered the trial space, taking the Phantom Steps step by step, moving towards the highest point.
The space gradually became sticky, and terrible pressure came from all directions.
There was also a knife-like strong wind and a roaring and raging thunder attacking him.
He walked in the air and dodged continuously until one moment he could no longer hold on. He fell like a bird with broken wings and woke up in the training ground.
"Using the Book of Trials to practice skills is indeed much more efficient, more than ten times more efficient!"
"In just one or two days, I have mastered the Phantom Step to the 15.5% level. This is a blue-level skill."
Fang You was delighted.
When practicing in the Book of Trials, you don’t have to worry about the depletion of life energy - just die once and reset, and your life energy will be restored.
The second is a special space, which is more beneficial for the cultivation of a certain skill.
This "Heavenly Trial" was evolved by Brother Black Knife, and it is the trial that is closest to the Phantom Void Step.
Third, as your own strength, especially the "realm" of various skills, improves, practicing other skills will be twice as effective with half the effort.
If you practice similar skills, you can get ten times the result with half the effort.
Fourthly, he can still enjoy the concentration gain in the training ground.
If you are physically in the training ground and mentally in the trial space, you can get double the benefits.
"But there are also flaws. The trial space is virtual after all, and it doesn't train the real body... In order to ensure that there is no gap between fantasy and reality, it is still necessary to conduct real-life training from time to time to keep the life energy flowing smoothly and train the muscle memory of combat."
Fang You raised a target remotely.
He raised his hand, and palm thunders blasted out, continuously hitting the target, making this top-level training target shake and finally explode with a bang.
Another one exploded.
But it’s quite relaxing.
After a moment, he entered another trial space to practice his combat skills.
This is a space filled with a thick bloody aura. Countless soldiers are holding blades, shouting and killing, and at the same time, there is an overwhelming bloody murderous intent.
It feels like being on an ancient battlefield, facing an endless torrent of steel.
Keep killing until you are exhausted.
Even when exhausted amidst thousands of enemies, he never fell down. This is the trial space of Blade Slash.
It really hones a person's survival skills, willpower, etc. on a large-scale battlefield.
"I am now over halfway to master level in basic swordsmanship and palm thunder."
"However, a blue-level training card is required to break through to the pinnacle realm. Brother Black Blade has already used one, so there are only two left."
Of those two, I guess Black Knife will use one more.
The level of Black Knife's swordsmanship improved very quickly because of his "instructor" talent . While teaching the students swordsmanship, his own swordsmanship also improved rapidly. Blade Slash, because few people know it, improved much less quickly than swordsmanship, but it was still higher than You Lai's.
"The pinnacle state is indeed powerful. Not only can you control your own body, but also your surroundings."
"If the levels of Xing Jinglei and Black Blade were swapped, with Old Xing at the third awakening and Black Blade at the second awakening, Black Blade would most likely win."
"It's just that the blue-level training cards are not enough. The green-level ones are enough for now, and the white-level ones are more than enough. I can't use them all."
"I hope that through missions like the Gate to the Strange World, I can get more advanced training cards."
The evil map he had previously provided to the Investigation Bureau only included the major towns within the range; he did not provide the mountainous areas, the gates to the evil world, etc.
But now that he has cooperated with the Investigation Bureau, his Xinhuo team is still relatively small in number, so there is no need for him to rely entirely on himself to deal with the Evil Gate or the Evil Tide.
It is entirely possible to call in people from the Investigation Bureau or the Special Forces on the grounds of "detecting the movement of the evil tide" or "the appearance of the gate to the strange world" and so on, and this time they will be the ones to take the lead.
Able to maximize mission benefits.
…
On the second day after the Investigation Bureau visited the Xinhuo Training Base, An Jianyou and Yin Ling, under Fang You's arrangement, went to the secret place with the people from the Investigation Bureau.
There is a reason for choosing An Jianyou and Yin Ling.
An Jianyou has the "Eye of the Netherworld", and may be able to see different things in secret places. But Yinling is always complaining about lack of medicinal herbs, all kinds of them. In that case, let her identify them herself.
The secret place is a place of intersection, where all kinds of mysterious materials can be produced. Among them may be what Yin Ling wants, and only she has the vision to identify it.
The two of them boarded the Investigation Bureau's plane and traveled all the way to the northwest of Donghuang Country, to a vast, uninhabited desert.
"Is the secret place in this desert?"
An Jianyou looked around. There was endless yellow sand and the scorching sun was shining brightly above her head. She couldn't help but put her hand in front of her forehead.
The sight of the desert was very new to her, but after changing vehicles and driving along the road, there was endless yellow sand all the way, and she soon became tired. She simply used her Eyes of Insight to look around.
The desert was suddenly covered with a light gray color. It was still a desert scene, but there were still staggering figures appearing.
There are also some strange and evil things with the characteristics of the desert.
An Jianyou didn't look at Guixie. She noticed that there was a gray river hanging upside down in the sky, winding towards somewhere, and in the distance there were also some upside down gray rivers, winding in the same way. Several rivers converged somewhere at the end of their sight.
"Is that the secret place?"
She pointed out of the car window. There was still a vast desert outside. There was even a sandstorm, painting the entire sky and earth in orange yellow.
The wind hit the car windows, making a bang.
People sitting in the car feel as if they are covered with a yellow seal and everything outside is unclear.
But Director Huang was surprised.
Because the place An Jianyou pointed to was where the secret place was!
Sure enough, no one of Xinhuo's elites can be underestimated, even An Jianyou, who looks weak and behaves like an ordinary girl on weekdays.
"It's right there. It's not very far away."
Although it was not very far, the off-road vehicle still drove for more than half an hour, and the sandstorm outside the car continued, but at a certain moment, the sound of wind hitting the car window suddenly stopped, and the sandstorm outside the window disappeared.
Director Huang said, "Once we get here, it's easy for vehicles to get into accidents. We have to walk over there. The secret place is not far ahead."
An Jianyou got out of the car as she was told, but the sky outside the car was not clear. Instead, it was gray, just like what she saw in the vision of the Eye of Tongyou.
Yin Ling squatted down, picked up a bit of gravel with her fingers, took it in front of her and looked at it, then raised her head and looked around, "This is already the outskirts of the secret place, right? There are mysterious factors floating between heaven and earth, and ordinary people who stay in such a place will gradually be infected with mystery."
One could see the location of the secret place from a distance.
One has analyzed the environment here before actually entering the secret place. How amazing is that!
He doesn't even need an introduction.
Huang Hongtian was helpless.
At this time, there was still desert all around, and nothing else could be seen for miles. But after walking forward a few hundred meters, I gradually discovered that the surrounding environment had changed.
A series of hills appeared before us, with sparse trees growing on them, but their shapes were very strange.
Some of the trees have human faces growing on them, which is quite creepy.
Some branches look like skinny arms and palms, with their teeth and claws bared.
Others bear scarlet fruits that are clearly hanging on branches, yet they seem to be struggling as if they have life.
An Jianyou got goosebumps when he saw this. What are these?
But when she saw Yin Ling getting excited, she rushed over and said, "This is a human face tree. The bark scraped off is a rare medicinal material. The older the tree is, the more effective the bark is. These human face trees are quite old!"
"And this, the branches of the devil tree, although it is poisonous, it is still a good medicine when used to fight poison with poison."
"This kind of sapodilla is even more precious, it's very active, and there are so many of them here!"
Yinling's eyes were already in the shape of medicinal herbs, and her gaze was scorching.
If she hadn't remembered that she was a guest and represented the organization, she would have rolled up her sleeves and picked it.
But this look was also very scary. It was not until Director Huang agreed give her a batch when he left that Yin Ling gradually returned to her ladylike appearance.
Just a lady? No one thinks so anymore.
The scope of the secret place is not very large. Not far ahead, there are low stone houses. At this moment, investigators are dealing with evil spirits.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."
A loud voice came from far away.
A man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, a weathered square face, and a look of considerable authority strode over and appeared in the sight of An Jianyou and Yin Ling.
"Director Tang, excuse me."
They pay respect.
Huang Hongtian introduced them to the two of them.
Introduce the Tang Bureau and some information about the secret place.
This time we invited Xinhuo here, firstly to repay Xinhuo's efforts, and secondly, to hope to cooperate with Xinhuo on the development of secret properties and get some guidance.
It turned out that this invitation was correct.
As the tall woman walked along, she revealed many names and secrets, some of which they had not yet figured out.
However, no matter whether it is Huang Hongtian or Tang Ju, what they are most looking forward to is the mentor who will pass on the torch to them.
"The instructor said he was coming over."
An Jianyou spoke.
The next moment, strands of golden light gathered in front of her.
A figure dressed in a white robe and shrouded in a faint golden glow seemed to have opened a space gate thousands of kilometers away and stepped out.
The people have arrived.
