In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and it is less than a week before the day of Crowding the Wooden Man's Lane.
During this period, Ye Chen took an hour of horse gait every morning and evening, and spent the rest of the time exercising his physical strength and practicing martial arts.
Now he has been able to support a 300-jin boulder with one arm, and with the strength of both arms, he can easily lift a 1000-jin boulder to the top of his head.
In addition to the physical leap, Ye Chen found that with enough strength, he could use swordsmanship more easily, and his speed and control increased sharply. A random sword could split seven or eight flying leaves, pierce a thick-waisted tree, and A four-inch deep sword mark was left on the boulder.
"It's time to hone the actual combat ability." Ye Chen felt that he had reached his limit, and it was impossible to improve much if he continued to practice. If he has this skill, he might as well increase his actual combat experience and hone his advanced enemy skills, so that he can play 100% out of their own advantages.
However, actual combat is not so easy to train. He is still an outer disciple and cannot go down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes, so there is no life-and-death fight; In order to be equal to him, even after three or two moves, he will lose. This is the difference between whether he has gone through actual combat or not.
Fortunately, it is not necessary to fight people to achieve the actual combat effect. There are monsters in this world, and monsters can cultivate actively or passively. When the monster energy in the body is strong enough, it will mutate and evolve.
For countless years, the ancients have divided monsters into levels. The first and second level monsters correspond to Qi training realm warriors, the third and fourth level monsters correspond to Condensed Realm realm warriors, the fifth and sixth level monsters correspond to Essence Holding realm warriors, and the sixth level and above Monster beasts are basically very rare, and only those deep mountains and old forests can appear.
Fighting monsters is no worse than fighting humans. On the contrary, monsters are often stronger than humans in terms of aura. A fierce beast that has slaughtered countless animals and humans appears in front of you, and a look can make your scalp go numb. Ten percent of the strength can only be exerted to fifty percent.
So Ye Chen is going to hone his skills in the Silent Mountain Range, where low-level monsters often appear.
Wearing the fine steel sword on his left waist, Ye Chen tidied up his clothes and walked out of the yard.
On the way down the mountain, seeing the outer disciples and inner disciples coming and going, Ye Chen sighed in his heart: No matter who it is, if they want to live better, they must have money. The Ye family he belongs to has tens of millions of assets. It should not be poor, but unfortunately this is not the case. For example, the total number of the Ye family is thousands, of which six or seven hundred are business people, helping the family to manage the business, and the remaining four or five hundred people are devoted to practicing martial arts and do not make money at all , but if you want to protect your own property, you must have strong force, and these forces need money to support, and the accumulation in a year is an astonishing number, so even if it is my father, the head of the Ye family, his personal property is only a few hundred thousand taels As for his son, his monthly payment is one hundred taels of silver. If there are other necessary expenses, they can be reimbursed.
What can you do with one hundred taels a month, that is, eat better and dress better. There is not much difference in other places. It is not something he can enjoy if he wants to exercise his body with expensive medicinal materials for a long time. Only the core disciples of the family or the core disciples of the sect Only this capital can be cultivated.
After going down the mountain, looking for the right direction, Ye Chen quickened his pace and hurried on.
In the afternoon, Ye Chen arrived at the outskirts of the Silent Mountain Range, and some first-level monsters began to appear. In such a fierce place, no ordinary martial artist in the Qi training realm would dare to come in. Even Ye Chen became cautious, keeping his palm on the hilt of his sword all the time. , Attack immediately if there is danger.
Along the way, Ye Chen didn't encounter too high-level monsters, and the second-level top monsters that occasionally appeared were just a Chilian bird, and it was seriously injured. If it wasn't flying in the sky, Ye Chen wouldn't mind making gestures .
After walking for a while and beheading several monsters, Ye Chen suddenly stopped, and his inner energy poured into his ears.
"There are fighting sounds!"
The biggest difference between warriors and ordinary people is the use of internal qi. Ordinary people have their limits no matter how strong their five senses are, but warriors can use their internal qi to enhance their five senses. At this time, Ye Chen can hear large movements a mile away by relying on his internal qi. and identify the source.
Following the sound, Ye Chen hurried over without a sound.
There is a dense forest in front of you, and you can faintly see human figures flickering. In addition, there are huge shadows and beast roars that are thrilling.
When he was thirty steps away from the battle site, Ye Chen lifted his breath and jumped onto a big tree, condescending to see clearly ahead.
There is a messy clearing about five feet in the forest. At this time, four or five teenagers with weapons are occupying and besieging a huge monster. The monster is one foot long, shaped like a tiger, with black hair and long Its blood-red tongue is dripping with purple liquid, its mouth is full of jagged teeth, and its sharp claws are three feet long, sharp and curved.
It is a second-level top-level monster sawtooth poisonous beast. Its strength is equivalent to that of a tenth-level martial artist in the Qi training realm. Difficult to save, quite difficult.
After observing for a while, Ye Chen noticed the golden ring logo on the sleeves of several people, and an unsavory sect name came to mind.
Jinguangmen, a sect close to Liuyunzong, the master of the sect, Li Yu, is a master in the middle stage of Baoyuanjing, who is good at killing the golden ring with strange weapons. In his early years, he was a disciple of Liuyunzong's outer sect. Other countries outside of China established Jinguangmen after returning, with five hundred disciples.
The five people who besieged the sawtooth poisonous beast were not very strong, but their cooperation was quite tacit. They should have worked together for a long time and had a lot of experience in cooperation.
A few sword lights attacked the sawtooth poisonous beast. The one who made the move was a girl in red wielding a thin sword. Her cultivation level was roughly at the fifth level of the Qi training environment. There were two twin brothers with knives beside her. , tall and burly, roaring and suppressing monsters from time to time, using physical strength to force the other party to be unable to move forward.
Although these three people worked hard, the main force was not them, but the other two.
One of the strong young men was dressed in black, and his weapon was the Azure Dragon Halberd, a weapon that was two meters long. There was a bloodstain on the opponent's body.
What Ye Chen cares about the most is the young man in blue. He is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he has a Xiao in his waist. He has the strongest attack power without a weapon, and any random palm will bring out a stern black palm wind. The serrated poisonous beast retreated again and again.
If Ye Chen's guess is correct, the young man in blue is clearly a martial artist at the ninth level of the Qi training state, and he can already mix the inner energy into the palm wind, hurting people from the air. Of course, the power is much worse than releasing the true energy outside. Otherwise, the serrated poisonous beast would have been killed long ago.
Monster beasts have always been powerful, but they will eventually be exhausted.
At this time, the sawtooth poisonous beast covered in scars was exhausted, and after the poisonous smoke it was trying to spew was pushed away by the black palm of the young man in blue, it turned around and wanted to run away.
"Where are you going!" The blue-clothed youth's eyes were like lightning, he walked with his palm, and hit the sawtooth poisonous beast hard on the back.
Roar!
The serrated poisonous beast wailed, and its huge body flew out like a sack, its internal organs shattered.
"Senior Brother Liu is so powerful." The rapier was sheathed, the girl in red wiped her sweat, and turned to look at the youth in blue adoringly.
The young man in blue said gently: "What's so great about me, you can catch up in a few years."
Holding the green dragon halberd, the boy in black said, "I'm at the peak of the seventh level of Qi training, and I'll catch up to you in a few months."
"That's right." The young man in blue didn't care.
The girl in red pursed her lips, as if she didn't like the arrogant style of the boy in black.
