In the dead of night.
Chen Zong lay quietly on the bed, sleeping peacefully, but his eyelids trembled from time to time, and his brows were also furrowed from time to time, which showed that Chen Zong's sleep was not peaceful.
Chen Zong was dreaming. In the dream, swords, swords, and blood rained down.
It has been half a month since I returned to the True Sword Academy, and all my injuries have healed, but there are many scars left.
For half a month, every day, Chen Zong would have a dream. In the dream, it was full of swords, lights, swords, shadows, blood and rain, countless figures flickering, figures of people and monsters. Holding a sword, he continued to slash and kill until he was exhausted.
At first, Chen Zong was not used to it, and it even affected his daytime state a few days ago, but he also knew that this was a sequela.
The 20-day-long life-and-death struggle in the Western Wilderness required a considerable period of time to wear off the murderous aura and calm down again, and then experienced the riots of the monster army, the attacks of the real martial arts powerhouses, the black demon sect warriors, and the scattered monsters. Attacks and so on, it is not easy to survive after a lot of hardships. Compared with it, this small sequelae are nothing at all.
Chen Zong also felt that after waking up after being tortured in a dream every day, he would not be affected after a little adjustment, and his mental will seemed to become stronger.
At this time, the thunder and sword energy in the body trembled slightly, and started to run on its own. The speed became faster and faster, to the extreme, as if turning into a bolt of lightning, rushing endlessly between the muscles, bones and muscles in the body, and the feeling of numbness pervaded the entire body. whole body.
Chen Zong's eyelids trembled, and his eyes opened, as if there was a flash of lightning.
Quickly got up and sat cross-legged, got rid of distracting thoughts, and circulated the fourth layer of Thunder Sword Strength.
Since he fought his way out of the siege and returned to the True Sword Academy, Chen Zong's cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds. A few days ago, he reached the peak of the fourth turn of the practice strength. The continuous killing of the sky and the tempering of breaking out of the siege at the end.
There is great terror between life and death, and there is also great opportunity, that is to sharpen one's own potential.
Jinglei Jianjin was running round and round, breaking through the usual limit, getting faster and faster, making Chen Zong's whole body numb, as if being rushed by an electric current, and his muscles trembled unconsciously.
In an instant, a powerful aura vibrated and spread out from Chen Zong's body.
The breakthrough came so abruptly, but...it was a matter of course!
The inner strength was repeated over and over again, and Chen Zong could clearly feel that the potential of his body was constantly squeezed out, transformed into the original inner strength, and replenished.
An hour later, Chen Zong just stopped practicing, his eyes opened, and the light shot out, like lightning flashing across the night sky, as if instantly illuminating the bedroom.
The virtual room generates electricity!
Exhale a breath, under the night, the strands are like white mist.
Chen Zong felt a little dreamy.
Thinking back on my own cultivation journey, it was very difficult at the beginning, but it was full of stamina. more help.
Doing the math, it has been less than a year and a half since entering the True Sword Academy, but it is almost unimaginable that one's cultivation level has gone from the Great Perfection of Qi and Blood to the current Rank 5 of the Strength Training Stage.
You must know that the cultivation of Lianjin state is more than ten times more difficult than that of Qi and blood state, but the speed of my own cultivation is much faster than that of Qi and blood state, especially when I come from an ordinary background, all resources must rely on my own Go for it with both hands.
In the early stages of practicing Jinjing Rank 5, after spending a little time getting familiar with the inner strength, the overall strength will be significantly enhanced.
You know, from breaking through at the peak of the fourth rank to the early stage of the fifth rank, the amount of internal strength doubles, and the purity doubles again.
Even though it was still midnight, with a breakthrough in cultivation, Chen Zong was in high spirits, so he simply got up and drew his sword to practice in the courtyard.
In the night, the sword light flickered, as if it was about to reflect with the half-covered moon in the sky.
Hunting and eradicating monsters in the Western Wilderness, although unexpected changes eventually caused Chen Zong to suffer heavy losses, but at the same time, there were also great gains.
What was lost was the many monster inner alchemy that had been collected with great difficulty. Chen Zong calculated that even without the 30% premium of the Zhenwu Alliance, he would definitely be able to sell it for more than 10 million white jade coins. Unfortunately, he lost it in the final scuffle. up.
More than 10 million white jade coins are enough for Chen Zong to buy a lot of cultivation resources.
But the spiritual will has become more cohesive and strong, and the cultivation base has broken through to the fifth rank of the strength training state, which are all great gains.
The light of the sword is like thunder and lightning, across the night sky, not only fast but also fierce, each sword interprets the taste of thunderbolt, as if it can smash everything.
Every sword also carries an astonishing murderous aura, making one's heart chill.
It is more efficient and concise, and the same sword is more powerful with less force. This is the benefit brought after the high-intensity life and death.
The bigger benefit is that knife.
The pale light of the knife is light, fast and extremely fierce, with an aura of extinction. It is called... Jinghong Extinction Knife.
Chen Zong read it three times, and kept it firmly in his mind. Every time he recalled it and comprehended it, he understood the feeling contained in it.
Light and natural, but for a while, Chen Zong couldn't find any words to describe it.
"I can be sure, after all, that knife contains the realm of martial arts, which is higher than the three-in-one of mind, eye and hand." Chen Zong secretly said, holding the sword, standing quietly in the small courtyard.
In the night, Chen Zong closed his eyes, held the sword in his right hand across his chest, and stood still, as if he had become a sculpture.
In the mind, a pale knife light flashed again, and it rushed forward. Wherever it passed, the breath of extinction permeated, and nothing could stop it.
Carefully feel the mystery contained in that saber light.
Chen Zong's right hand holding the sword trembled unconsciously, and the sword in his hand trembled accordingly. The sword light was bright, emitting an oval-shaped halo. It was not dazzling, but very soft, but it seemed to exist forever.
Want to draw the sword, but seem to be bound by an invisible force, unable to draw the sword.
A kind of shackles.
Reminiscing over and over again, suddenly, two words popped up in Chen Zong's mind.
Smart!
Yes, the lightness and naturalness of that knife interprets agility.
Smart, as soon as the two words came out, countless inspirations burst out like a torrent that broke the embankment, and the impact filled Chen Zong's whole body with an indescribable feeling.
The trembling right hand suddenly moved, and the trembling sword blade also swung out.
The fluttering blade of the sword didn't seem to have much strength, and it exuded a light and natural taste. It seemed slow, and it passed through the night, but left a trace, which faded away after three blinks.
This sword is silent, without the slightest power.
Chen Zong still closed his eyes, retracted his sword, and swung it out again.
One sword after another, continuously, the trajectory became more and more obvious, and the time it stayed in the night was longer.
The pale sword light in his mind played back again and again, and Chen Zong's sword matched its trajectory time and time again.
This is imitation.
Chen Zong had to imitate the trajectory of the knife first, and then further comprehend the mystery contained in it.
Every imitation deepened Chen Zong's comprehension, and he gradually grasped what was contained in that knife.
"Senior Huanyun Swordsman said that there are two levels of martial arts. The first level is the three-in-one mind, eye, and hand, which is the state I am in now. The second level is the six-in-one combination of energy, spirit, mind, eyes, and hands."
"The Dao of Surprise and Extinction displayed by this senior is based on the unity of energy, spirit, mind, eyes, and hands."
"I want to thoroughly grasp the mystery of it, and I must also comprehend the six in one of spirit, energy, and spirit."
"In other words, if I can understand the mystery of this knife, I can use it as an opportunity to step into the second level of martial arts."
Chen Zong opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining like the bright moon in the sky. He swung the sword casually, light and natural, with unparalleled agility, but Chen Zong understood that the agility of this sword stayed on the surface and grasped the essence.
It has always been difficult to make progress in the realm of martial arts, but now, he sees an opportunity to improve.
Unfortunately, that elder is dead.
In the battle half a month ago, more than thirty real martial arts experts joined forces to face off against the two elders of the Black Demon Sect. The process of that battle must have been very intense. Chen Zong regretted that he could not watch it with his own eyes, but he also knew the final result .
The two elders of the Black Demon Sect survived, but their injuries were severe. Thirty elders from various major forces suffered heavy losses. Thirteen were killed on the spot, five were disabled, eight were seriously injured, and the rest All were slightly injured.
This is the heaviest loss since the establishment of the Zhenwu Era, and it hurts the muscles and bones.
For a while, there was a lot of turmoil, and all the grievances and grievances of other things were put aside for the time being, and there was only one thing that attracted the most attention: the Black Demon Gate.
All signs indicate that the Black Demon Sect has made a comeback, and looking through the history of the collapse of the kingdom era makes people feel creepy.
In that battle, among the thirteen real martial arts powerhouses who died, two were elders of the True Sword Academy, among the five disabled people, one was an elder of the True Sword Academy, and among the eight who were seriously injured, some One is also the elder of the True Sword Academy.
In addition, more than 1,000 outstanding Jinjing fighters from various forces ended up with only 300 people alive, dozens of them were disabled, and others were more or less injured. Day and half a month of recuperation.
This kind of loss is also very heavy. The number of disciples in the True Sword Academy has dropped by as many as a hundred.
Not only that, there were seven or eight people who became insane because they couldn't bear the sequelae of the high-intensity killing, and they were basically useless.
But those who survived and did not become insane received obvious benefits, one by one, they broke through and became stronger.
Continue to practice the sword until dawn. After eating the breakfast prepared by the maid, Chen Zong began to practice the fourth level of physical training, and after that, he practiced the thunder and sword strength.
At noon, a deacon came with good news.
"Chen Zong, congratulations on becoming a disciple of the town palace. Now, please follow me." The middle-aged deacon smiled.
After the cultivation base has reached the fourth turn of the strength training state, he is eligible to become a disciple of the town palace, but when he came back, he was very tired, two elders died, other elders were injured, and many disciples died, etc., making the True Sword Academy busy. It wasn't until yesterday that Chen Zong went to apply, and today he gave a reply.
After receiving the reply, Chen Zong also smiled.
Being a town palace disciple is naturally better than a formal disciple.
