Original Stone Town, Zhou Family.
In the scorching sun, there were dozens of young men and women practicing kung fu in a square, all sweating and miserable. A middle-aged man walked through the crowd with his hands in his hands, snorting coldly from time to time, berating the lazy teenager.
On a large rock on the edge of the square, sitting cross-legged was a young man with a sword eyebrow star, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was slender and very handsome.
It was mid-September, when the tiger was most poisonous in autumn. Under the sun, the stone was hot enough to cook eggs. But even though the handsome boy's brows were twitching all the time, he never stood up. The sweat rolled off and wet his temples.
His name is Zhou Heng, and he is practicing the Lieyang Jue, a secret exercise from the Zhou family.
Martial artist practice is to refine the food eaten in his belly, extract the energy that can be absorbed in it, refine it into its own true energy, and store it in the cells of the body. This Lieyang Art can use the power of sunlight to accelerate the absorption of food and improve the efficiency of transformation.
The more blazing the sun, the higher the efficiency of this transformation, but there are a few people who can withstand the exposure of the scorching sun, and they will have to run under the shade to enjoy the coolness for at most ten minutes or half an hour.
But Zhou Heng started his cultivation from sunrise in the morning, and it has been three hours now!
Not two days a day, but a few years like a day!
It's a pity that Zhou Heng's body is too wasteful, and he still stays in the early stage of the first level of body refining through such painstaking practice, which is almost the same as someone who hasn't practiced.
The martial artist is divided into twelve steps according to the level of cultivation, which is called the twelfth level of body refining. After reaching the twelfth level of body refining, it can attack a higher level. It is said that once it succeeds, it can reach the sky in one step! However, for more than a hundred years, Zhou Jiake has never seen a person on the road to the sky.
The twelve layers of body refining can be subdivided into four realms. The first three layers are the skin refining realm, the fourth to sixth layers are the flesh refining realm, the seventh to ninth layers are the bone refining realm, and the ten to twelve layers are the blood refining realm.
The true elemental power that the martial artist cultivates is stored in the cells of the body. This is a gradual process, first the skin, then the muscles, then the bones, and finally the blood.
Therefore, there are four divisions.
The power gap between each realm is very large. A warrior in the flesh-refining realm will be killed by a spike against a warrior in the bone-refining realm! And within the same realm, for example, the fourth and sixth levels of body refining are both flesh-refining realms, so the fight must be the sixth level of body refining more dominant, but it can't be a crushing type.
The road to martial arts is difficult. The more you go to higher places, the more bumpy the road will be. After entering the blood refining realm, you may not be able to rise to a level for more than ten years!
However, it is quite easy to break through the skin refining realm. Generally speaking, as long as there is enough food supply and self-cultivation is diligent, then it can reach the peak of the first level of body refining in half a year, and it only needs to complete the whole skin refining realm. Three years time.
Zhou Heng began to practice the Fiery Yang Jue at the age of eight, and it has been nearly ten years now, but his cultivation is still at the early stage of the first level of physical training. This is simply a weird thing. The family invited countless doctors to check and did not have the slightest result. It can only be attributed to one reason, that is, Zhou Heng's own aptitude is too bad, and he is not suitable for cultivation by nature!
Hard rock!
What makes people wonder is that Zhou Heng’s father, Zhou Dinghai, is a genius, a real genius. He finished skinning in half a year, meat for two years, and bones for five years. He is only 41 years old but has reached Ten levels of body refining, blood refining realm!
Prior to this, the earliest clansmen of the Zhou family who entered the blood refining realm were also sixty-three years old, which shows how terrifying Zhou Dinghai's talent is!
Such a genius definitely has the qualifications to hit the road to the sky!
Tiger father and dog son!
This is the Zhou family’s evaluation of Zhou Heng, and this is still polite. Many people call him trash secretly. If Zhou Dinghai is not for one of the six elders of the family, this insult must be splashed in front of his face. Passed.
"Does that waste still refuse to give up?"
"Huh, what can you do if you don't give up, so many doctors have seen it, and they all say that he is free from illness and disease, and his inability to cultivate is due to his poor aptitude!"
"Fortunately, the family still has us. Otherwise, if the monster comes to commit the crime, everyone will have to wait to die!"
"Obviously it's a waste, but the appetite is bigger than anyone else, it's really a rice bucket!"
"I think he was just pretending to sit there on purpose, not cultivating at all!"
The boys and girls in the square stopped for a short rest, and several people whispered to each other, their voices were not low, so that Zhou Heng could hear them clearly.
"Shut up!" The middle-aged man in charge of supervision immediately yelled. His name was Zhou Yuanyang. He was barely considered Zhou Heng's cousin in terms of blood relationship. If I can sit on that big rock for an hour, I will spare him the rest of his homework today!"
When these words were spoken, the boys and girls were all speechless.
Just kidding, the stone is hot enough to boil eggs, who can sit for an hour? Not to mention an hour, even ten minutes is enough! Only a few people who practice the Lie Yang Jue can transform the high temperature—but not everyone in the Zhou family cultivates the Lie Yang Jue!
Zhou Yuanyang walked to Zhou Heng's side and sighed slightly in his heart. He saw this young man's efforts, but he was blind, and he was born unable to cultivate.
"Don't take it to heart!" He could only comfort Zhou Heng.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Zhou Heng showed a sincere smile, as bright as the sun.
"Don't be too tired, pay attention to your body!" Zhou Yuanyang persuaded.
Sitting on this big rock to cultivate, even he couldn't hold on for a long time, let alone Zhou Heng who didn't even reach the first level of body training
"I understand!" Zhou Heng nodded, but didn't mean to get up at all.
Zhou Yuanyang sighed again, feeling more regretful, thinking that if this young man could have the same talent as his father, then coupled with such hard work, I am afraid that the future will be brighter!
He turned his head and looked at the boys and girls who were resting under the shade of the tree. He suddenly burst into anger and shouted: "The rest is over, continue to practice!"
"No, we just took a break for less than five minutes!"
"Yes, I couldn't even breathe in such a short time!"
"It's all to blame for that trash, which makes us all tired!"
Those boys and girls sparsely returned to the playground, and they didn't need to stare at Zhou Heng with hostile eyes, and blamed everything on him.
Zhou Heng saw these gazes, but didn't pay any attention to it. He was still running the Fiery Yang Art, using the power of sunlight to continuously refine the food in his body and transform it into his own true energy.
In his body, the food was continuously refined under the action of sunlight and the exercises, forming countless channels of free energy, and under the operation of the Lieyang Jue, it turned into a channel of true vitality, circulating in his body.
Everything was normal here, but when the true energy flowed down to the abdomen, it suddenly turned a corner, plunged into the dantian, and never came out again!
Only when the true energy is stored in the cells can it burst out when needed. Skin, flesh, bone, and blood cover the entire human body. But what is Dantian? Although there are rumors that Dantian is also very important, it is related to the illusory road to the sky, but Zhou Heng hasn't even set the foundation yet, how can he think about the road to the sky
Only Zhou Heng himself knew that the reason he could not practice was because of his dantian!
To be more specific, it is a broken sword in the Dantian!
Zhou Heng has a secret that no one knows. When he started practicing at the age of eight, he seemed to be able to transform his consciousness into shape, and he could circulate freely in his body, seeing every detail in his body.
At that time, he saw a broken sword floating in his dantian.
It was more than a foot long, and the whole body was pitch black, and even the hilt of the sword was jet black. Although it is a broken sword, it gives people a majestic and sweeping power, as if it already existed when the world was opened, and it will last forever!
I changed to another child, and I was so scared to cry when I saw this scene 80% of the time!
But Zhou Heng has been a very assertive person since he was a child, and he was stupefied to hide this secret.
He doesn't want to be a monster in everyone's eyes!
When being examined by the first doctor, Zhou Heng was still worried, but the doctor didn't even notice the existence of Broken Sword. Not only this doctor, but none of the doctors that Zhou Dinghai invited discovered the existence of the black broken sword, as if it only existed in Zhou Heng's intentions!
Since others don't even know the existence of the black broken sword, how can it be taken out
Over time, he did not become a monster, but became a recognized waste. But no one knows, it's not that he can't practice martial arts, but that the true vitality of hard work has been "eaten" by the black broken sword!
This robber, even if he hides in his body as a nest, he actually sucked his true energy completely!
But knowing that this black sword is a bandit, why does Zhou Heng continue to practice
Because he still has a glimmer of hope, that is, there is always time to feed the black broken sword!
At that time, the true vitality he cultivated can be used by himself!
His aptitude is not bad, this can be reflected from his appetite, because for the martial artist, food is equal to true vitality. He eats more food every day than any other person of the same age, which means that the true vitality he cultivates every day far exceeds that of other people!
Because of this ray of hope, he calmly faced a pair of contemptuous eyes, a stinky face of disdain! He firmly believes that as long as the black broken sword no longer drags his hind legs, he will definitely be able to leave the ground!
This day is getting closer and closer!
He could feel that the black broken sword was changing all the time, but the process was too slow and too slow. But dripping water can still penetrate the stone. Ten years later, it is finally time for a qualitative change!
Just these few days!
This hope supported him to endure the scorching heat of the scorching sun, the high temperature that could burn his buttocks, and the boring meditating, which is to continuously practice, practice, and practice, and support the huge appetite of Dantian's black broken sword.
In addition to eating, Zhou Heng has been sitting on a rock cultivating all the time. It was the Lieyang Jue that he was cultivating, which could transform the high temperature and was dried by a roasted man a long time ago!
A few more hours later, when the sun went down, Zhou Heng staggered to his feet and walked towards his residence.
"Want to go? Climb over under me!" A young boy suddenly stopped Zhou Heng's path, his arms clasped his chest, with a haughty smile on his face, surrounded by four teenagers watching the show.
