One month later.
Late at night, in the forest of Nanman Mountains.
Chen Xi's expression was focused, his fist glowed with a faint white light, and he punched the rock.
boom!
Hard rocks the size of millstones cracked and fell to the ground. It can be clearly seen that these gravels are each the size of a long eye, have the same shape, and are like beads.
At this time, Chen Xi had suddenly reached the first level of the Great Beng Fist—breaking rocks like beads!
"It turns out that Beng Jin is like an inch, which is to twist, wrap, and rub the muscles through secret strength, and then the accumulated strength is instantly condensed. The body is like a fully drawn bow, and the fist is like a tight arrow. As soon as the force is exerted, it is the so-called "Beng Jin" "!"
Chen Xi murmured, then opened his stance again and started practicing one move after another.
During this half-month, his life was monotonous and fulfilling. During the day, he explored cooking skills in a small dark room. At night, he followed Ji Yu to the forest to practice Dabengquan. At the same time, he meditated, exercised, and visualized the statue of Fuxi. , every bit of time was fully utilized by him.
Under such a heavy load of hard training, Chen Xi's temperament quietly changed. His brows were clear and spiritual, like a sword, with a sharp and murderous aura. The muscles all over his body became more angular and angular, glowing like jade, as if they contained infinite power.
Bang bang bang... The fist broke through the air, making a low and sharp sound of breaking through the air. This is the air oscillation caused by the concentration of muscle power to a certain intensity.
When this kind of shock reaches a certain level, it has reached the second level of the Great Bengquan - the broken stone is like powder. If you punch the rock, the broken stone will be like powder and scattered by the wind.
Sweat flowed in a meandering stream, mixed with heavy breathing and roaring fist wind, resounding throughout the forest clearing for a long time.
Three hours later.
Chen Xi lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. He was exhausted, his muscles were sore and weak, and he didn't even want to move his fingers.
"Senior Ji Yu, I have now reached the eighth level of innate cultivation in Qi refining, and have advanced to the innate realm in body refining. Do you think that with this momentum, when will I reach the Zifu realm?" Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Lying Down Ji Yu, who was sitting in the wicker chair, asked softly.
Ji Yu, as usual, ate meat and drank wine, and replied: "At least for more than a year, whether it is the body refining flow of gods and demons or the air refining flow, it is an extremely difficult level to open the Zifu. Your training progress It’s already fast enough, no need to work so hard.”
Chen Xi sighed: "There are too many enemies. If I don't work hard, how can I become stronger?"
Ji Yu snorted, raised the wine gourd in his hand, and asked, "Would you like another sip?"
Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly, "No, the power contained in the wine is too terrifying. Even if it can be used by me, it will make me unable to practice boxing for seven days, and the skyrocketing cultivation level is not good for my practice. It doesn't matter if I don't drink it. .”
This is indeed the case. Since taking a few sips of the strong wine from the gourd half a month ago, although Chen Xi has broken through to the innate realm of body refining in one fell swoop, the sequelae are also extremely obvious. The surge in power makes it impossible for him to use it with ease. body, and in order to avoid a weak foundation, he spent another half a month to induce the thick Saturn evil and the pure Jupiter evil to temper the body again. The process was so difficult that Chen Xi was still frightened.
Ji Yu said regretfully: "It is true that as you said, using external objects to break through the realm is most likely to cause a weak foundation. When you want to hit a higher realm in the future, it is easy to go crazy. However, when you reach it, In the realm of Zifu, if we lay the foundation for the Dao, there will be no need for these problems to arise."
In fact, the reason is very simple. Chen Xi also understands that before the opening of the Zi Mansion, whether it is the acquired realm or the innate realm, they are all preparing to lay the foundation of the Tao. Only when the foundation of the Tao is solid and solid can you go further on the road of cultivation. . At this stage, using foreign objects to impact the realm can advance quickly, but compared to the future path, it is obviously not worth the gain.
"Actually, if you want to increase your strength, actual combat is undoubtedly the best choice."
Ji Yu suddenly spoke and said slowly: "The richness of actual combat experience also plays a vital role when facing the enemy. A strong man who has been tempered in life and death fights can even leapfrog challenges higher than his realm. High opponent."
Having a high realm does not mean that you can exert this power.
The martial arts skills are exquisite and have not been tempered by blood and fire. They are also embellished with tricks.
Chen Xi deeply agreed.
"There are many monsters walking in this mountain forest. The deeper you go, the stronger the monsters become. There are many powerful monsters among them. However, with your current strength, it is better to find some innate realm monsters to practice with. Okay." Ji Yu pointed to the depths of the forest and suggested.
After beasts possess spiritual intelligence, they can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and transform into monsters. After undergoing difficult training, they can enter the innate realm like humans and then embark on the road to seeking immortality.
According to different bloodlines, monsters are divided into ordinary monsters and mythical beasts.
Ordinary monsters can transform into human forms at will when they reach the innate realm. However, it is extremely difficult for divine beasts to transform into human forms. Some divine beasts need to reach the Zifu realm before they can transform into human forms, and some require Huang Ting realm. Some are even higher... However, the mythical beasts have the blood of demons from ancient times. They are born with wisdom, extremely talented, and are much more powerful than ordinary demon beasts.
"Fighting the great demon in the Xiantian Realm? I don't think I've seen one in these days?"
Chen Xi couldn't help but be startled. Fighting against monsters is no worse than fighting against humans. On the contrary, monsters are often better than humans in terms of momentum. Among monsters, a great Xiantian-level monster that occupies a territory must fight and conquer. Those who have risen little by little in the middle and are experienced in combat can often frighten their opponents to the point of numbness with just one look, and can only perform 50% of their 100% strength.
Ji Yu smiled and asked, "Do they dare to come near here?" There was endless disdain in his understatement.
Chen Xi suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that Ji Yu was the spirit of the cave that had survived for millions of years. His original appearance was a unicorn with four hooves like black ink and a single horn. If those monsters dare to come near here, they are just looking for abuse!
Without any more nonsense, Chen Xi straightened his clothes and walked straight into the depths of the forest after his physical strength recovered.
The forest in the night was dark and unusually quiet. After walking for nearly a stick of incense, Chen Xi encountered a monster whose strength was barely at the early stage of the day after tomorrow.
However, Chen Xi became cautious instead. In such a dangerous place, ordinary Xiantian monks would not dare to enter. If they were not careful, they might be attacked and killed by ferocious and cunning monsters.
As he walked deeper and deeper, Chen Xi killed several monster beasts on the way. Unfortunately, these monster beasts were so weak that he was completely uninterested.
After marching forward for more than ten miles, Chen Xi suddenly stopped and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"There was a sound of fighting!"
Chen Xi's soul is much more powerful than other monks of the same level, and has reached the edge of breakthrough. This also allows him to capture movements that ordinary people cannot detect.
At this moment, he relied on the power of his soul to hear the faint sound of fighting in the distance.
Unexpectedly, in this dark night in the deep mountains and old forests, someone would dare to come in... Following the sound, Chen Xi hurried over quietly.
Ahead is a slightly empty pile of rocks. Through the starlight above, you can vaguely see the shadows of people flashing. In addition, there are also thrilling beast roars.
When he was still a hundred steps away from the rock pile, Chen Xi jumped up to a big tree and hid in the canopy. He could clearly see the distance from a high position.
The clearing in the center of the rock pile was in a mess. At this time, two men and one woman were attacking a huge monster beast with their swords in their hands.
This demonic beast looks like a tiger and leopard, with a body over two feet long, hair like silver, limbs as thick as pillars, a huge mouth filled with sharp jagged fangs, and claws three feet long, as sharp as a knife.
This is an adult Silver Wind Leopard, its strength is equivalent to the acquired perfection state, its claws are as sharp as knives, its speed is as fast as the wind, and it is very good at sneak attacks. What is particularly frightening is that the sharp claws of the Silver Wind Leopard are highly poisonous. If the victim is not treated early, the meridians in his body will be incinerated and he will become a useless person.
Chen Xi noticed the red leaf pattern on the sleeves of the two men and one woman, and an unpopular name of the school came to mind—Red Leaf School.
Hongye Academy is located in the Songyan City Academy District, with more than 300 disciples. It is closely adjacent to Tianxing Academy. Among many schools, its strength can also be ranked among the top ten.
The most talked-about one is Ye Qiu, the master of Hongye Academy. He is a swordsman who enters Taoism with swords. His original Hongye sword skills are powerful and powerful. He uses clumsiness to overcome cleverness. According to the grade, it has been called the top grade. Martial arts. It is said that Ye Qiu is so powerful that he can even fight against Luo Chong, the number one master under the general's command.
The two men and one woman who besieged the Silver Wind Leopard were not very powerful, but their cooperation was quite tacit. They must have practiced a multi-person attack technique. The three long knives splashed like rain, as if weaving into an airtight web. The breathable knife net firmly trapped the Silver Wind Leopard in the corner, and it could only struggle and wait for death.
"court death!"
Seeing that Silver Wind Leopard was trying to attack without hesitation, the young man in blue shirt standing in the middle shouted loudly and slashed three times. The sharp sword energy forced the Silver Wind Leopard away.
The man and woman next to him took advantage of this gap and launched a fierce attack without hesitation. The bright and sharp sword light was like raindrops, slashing towards the Silver Wind Leopard.
There were towering and hard rocks behind, and there was no way to retreat. Seeing that the Silver Wind Leopard was about to be killed on the spot, Chen Xi, who was hiding in the canopy of the tree, sensed something was wrong.
Something's wrong!
The Silver Wind Leopard was so calm. Even if it was in a desperate situation, its eyes were still calm and ferocious, and even showed a hint of cold pride from time to time.
There is indeed an ambush!
Chen Xi's soul was so powerful. As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he suddenly noticed that in the shadows around the rock pile, more than a dozen vigorous beast shadows were approaching silently... Roar! Roar! Roar!
More than a dozen beast roars intertwined together, resounding in the thick night like an attack horn.
