Hughton threw the empty wine bottle on the ground, lay down on the sofa and said, "There are three ways to increase the source of power. One is to use meditation to settle your mind and let your will enter cells and even genes. In the depths, the potential is released and tapped; the second is to consciously drive the energy in the body to run and let them grow naturally, just like physical training; the third is to use fighting to support fighting, through fighting, to stimulate oneself to the greatest extent at the moment of life and death The senses let Yuanli grow rapidly."

"Among the three methods, only the third can achieve the purpose of obtaining quickly. But boy, this method will have many side effects. For example, it is basically only applicable in the early stage. When your source power has accumulated to a certain level, The body and mind have also adapted to the cruel killing, so it is difficult to continue to increase the source power through this method. How can a person who can't even lower his eyebrows when killing or being killed have a strong impression of life and death? Fighting, to put it bluntly, is to squeeze your own potential through strong sensory responses to make it grow quickly. This approach is tantamount to killing the chicken and picking the eggs, but for you, the death ring will soon begin." Hughton looked at Allen One glance: "When the time comes, you will have to kill people whether you like it or not. So as long as you can survive to the end, the nine source force vortexes will quickly accumulate. After all, you have just come into contact with the world of source force not long ago, and your body's senses are not yet available. Not numb, this method works for you."

Allen nodded, and Hughton said again: "But you have to remember, if you can survive, don't take the path of the Berserker in the future. This path is too narrow and the potential for growth is limited. You should be like many giants Use the three methods together like how a nobleman trains his own children. Guide your own potential, hone your own source power through will, and go to the battlefield from time to time to accumulate combat experience and sharpen your fighting skills. Only in this way can you step on your feet. Make a smooth path."

Speaking of this, Hughton yawned and waved his hands: "Go, go, your little girlfriend is here..."

At the end of the sentence, Lucy's voice sounded from the communicator at the gate: "Allen, are you there?"

When Allen left, Hughton had fallen asleep. Outside the door, Lucy put her hands on her hips and said with a grin, "Good job, you are ranked first again this week, you got a lot of rewards, kid!"

She reached out and patted Allen on the shoulder hard. Today's Lucy wore a double ponytail hairstyle. Two long golden ponytails dangled in front of Allen's eyes, just like Lucy, who couldn't stop for a moment. Allen rubbed the shoulder that hurt from her patting and said, "The rewards are not as many as you imagined, and there are only one or two that can be used."

"Is that so?" Lucy suddenly leaned forward, and their noses almost touched.

This posture is very ambiguous, and Allen forced a smile: "Why, is there something dirty on my face?"

"No, you look weird today, you seem to have no energy."

Allen laughed and said, "Do you think everyone is like you, always so energetic?"

"My old man said that sadness and loss are all signs of lack of self-confidence." Lucy straightened her body, patted her chest lightly with her hand and said, "A person as confident as this lady is energetic at all times." It's a matter of course! You also cheer up, I think of a very interesting training program today, let's go."

The girl dragged Alan to the elevator, and she held her hand in her palm, and the warmth seemed to penetrate into her heart. Emotions can infect people, the sun is like Lucy, it can naturally make the people around you become

Cheer up. Ever since he met Lucy, maybe even Alan himself has not noticed that the ice in the heart of the boy is melting little by little.

I really want to hold your hand like this forever.

Because holding you, I can embrace the sunshine!

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is another matter. So after the two got into the elevator, Lucy let Alan go. A little disappointment flashed through the young man's heart, but soon, his ears were already filled with Lucy's voice. Allen shook his head and laughed, maybe with Lucy, there is no lost time, because the blonde girl will always draw your attention to her.

Therefore, when the elevator reached the top floor and the door opened, Alan didn't even notice, and was still responding to Lucy's topic. It wasn't until Lucy pushed him outside that the boy realized that the elevator had stopped.

There were two people standing outside the door, one was Lucy's friend Emily, and the other had his back to Alan and the others. Looking at the back, it was a man. He seemed to be saying something to Emily, and then said "I should go." When he turned around, both Alan and Lucy were stunned, because this man was the lover of Lucy's mentor. The two of them didn't expect to bump into each other here, and they were a little embarrassed.

The man obviously didn't know what they had done, nodded to Lucy, and got into the elevator. After he left, Lucy grabbed Emily and asked, "Did he do anything to you?"

Emily looked at her sister strangely: "He is my mentor, Mr. Hanny, what will he do to me?"

Only then did Lucy stick out her tongue at Allen, expressing that she was nervous.

"Let's go, let's go to training." The blond girl who is used to giving orders raised her hand and pulled Allen towards the functional training area.

In the following days, Allen was like a clockwork machine, carrying out repeated but heavy training every day. As Hughton said, there is no shortcut to the growth of Yuanli. Allen can only honestly use meditation and tempering to enhance his source power, but it is not easy to deposit his will through meditation and enter the depths of his genes. Especially without the help of the potion of enlightenment when the kindling was ignited, Allen could never enter the strange star sea of source power deep in the genes. As for the conscious sharpening of the driving force, there will be no effect in a short period of time.

After a few days, the growth of Yuanli was very limited.

The only gain is the application of the technique of "spin". Under Hughton's guidance, Allen can already use spin to evade most of Hughton's attacks. After learning the two techniques of spin and crescent moon, Allen finally formed a preliminary framework on his fighting system.

Friday.

During free time at noon, Alan came to the top training hall. It seemed that Lucy hadn't come yet. Allen stepped out of the elevator and bumped into a big boy head-on.

"Hi, Alan." The boy with light brown curly hair beckoned, "Lucy is waiting for you in the combat area, come with me, she said that she wants to conduct team confrontation training today."

Allen frowned slightly. This man was one of Lucy's friends, named Mike. Mixing with Emily's children and Lucy, it seems like a small team. Usually Alan doesn't like to train with these people, and the seeming hostility in their eyes makes him feel uncomfortable. But today Mike seemed to be more enthusiastic. Seeing that Alan didn't move, Mike walked over and said softly: "Listen, I don't like you. But the death ring will start in two days, and there will be plenty of opportunities to beat you. If you can I still want to kill you. But not now, and I don't

To make Lucy unhappy, understand? "

Hearing what he said, Allen felt relieved. The two came to the fighting area. There were three or so teenagers fighting in the fighting area, but Lucy was not seen. Mike called a teenager who was watching the battle and asked, "Where's Lucy?"

The boy shrugged and said, "Go away with Emily and say it's a girl's secret or something."

Mike smiled helplessly at Alan: "Women always have endless secrets, so Alan, will you play with me? Don't worry, I won't beat you up." After speaking, he smiled at the other boy.

The inadvertent contempt in Mike's eyes made Allen feel stung, and he nodded and said, "Come on."

The two walked to the arena, looked at each other, and began to fight. Both sides pounced on their opponents at the first time, and then exchanged fists and kicks. It can be seen that Mike's fighting foundation is very solid, and his attack and defense are well organized. Allen is flexible, and once he finds an opening, he will let go and attack. The fighting styles of the two are very different, and they are inseparable.

Attack and defense alternated constantly in the battle, Mike seized an opportunity, leaned his shoulder on Allen's arms, and pushed him away. While Allen was still retreating, Mike's eyes suddenly turned cold, he rubbed his body, and punched Allen's throat with a punch. The front of the fist drives the air, forming a sharp whistling, faintly forming a cone-shaped ripple in front of the front of the fist!

This is also one of the ten dozen techniques in the army, called stabbing. Focus on the front of the fist with the source force, and form a penetrating attack under high-speed advancement. It's possible that what Mike is using now is just the most basic technique of jab, but if he punches him firmly, there will be an extra hole in Alan's throat.

He wants to kill me

When this thought flashed by, Allen burst into anger. The body is already under the control of instinct, with the toes as the axis, the source force is surging, and the body is lightly unscrewed from Mike's left side.

Avoiding his attack with a whirling step, Allen bounced off his foot, pulling out an arc-shaped faint ripple towards Mike's temple with his toes.

Crescent kick!

Mike reacted quickly, missed a hit, immediately closed his fist to protect his head, and received a kick from Allen with his arms. At the same time, the toes touched the ground, and the person slid away to the side, letting a foot that was strong enough to kick the iron puppet explode, only bumping into Mike's footsteps, and finally fell to the ground involuntarily.

Allen retracted his legs and said in a deep voice, "What is this? Just now, you wanted to kill me?"

Mike's face gradually became gloomy, he got up from the ground, nodded and said: "Yes, you and Lucy got too close. Before you showed up, your place should have been mine! I wanted to stay until The death ring started to kill you again, but I couldn't help it. Today I will abolish you."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly hit his face, and the corner of his mouth burst into blood immediately. Mike wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled cruelly: "Of course, you can also call for help. But when the time comes, I will say that you did it first, so I disabled you, and it was just self-defense."

"They will be happy to testify."

Only then did Allen realize that the teenagers who were still fighting before had surrounded him. They cleverly blocked Alan and Mike, so that even if someone passed by the fighting area, they would not see anything. And by the looks of it, they were on Mike's side.

Allen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't bark."

This was an unexpected answer. For some reason, when he saw Alan's clear eyes, a chill crept up behind Mike.
