Rumors pushed Xing Nan to the forefront of the storm, and even his defeat of Jian Ling did not calm the storm.
Jian Ling's defeat proved Xing Nan's strength.
The heroes who originally thought Xing Nan was not worth challenging finally started to take him seriously.
Before, everyone thought that Xing Nan was just the waiter at the inn, and that he could never have such a powerful cultivation level. Even if he was dragged to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts by Piaoyun Academy, he was just asked to help carry things.
But now, everyone can be sure that Xing Nan is not a simple waiter, and his strength is definitely not lower than that of a seventh-grade martial artist.
In order to avoid trouble and not want to have too many entanglements with the heroes of the Four Kingdoms, Xing Nan knocked on the door of the landlady's room.
"Is something wrong?"
The proprietress was still sitting at the Eight Immortals table, holding her little ferret, sipping tea leisurely and peacefully.
The heroes of the four countries gathered at the Kirigakure Inn, but they seemed to have no impact on her life.
"I would like to take a few days off, and I hope the boss lady can tolerate it," Xing Nan said.
"You used to help Piaoyun Academy, but you have been absent from class for three days." The landlady said noncommittally.
"There are too many rumors outside, and I want to avoid them." Xing Nan said bluntly.
The landlady pondered for a moment and said: "Five days, in five days I will take Lehua to the Demon Control City to purchase it."
"Thank you, boss lady!"
After Xing Nan saluted, he turned around and left happily.
It was already night now. After returning to the room, Xing Nan started to tidy up.
After packing his luggage, he went to see Lehua again and explained that he would be away for a few days.
After returning from Lehua's room, Xing Nan carried two heavy bags on his back and opened the back window.
Unexpectedly, the timid little monster also jumped on the back window, apparently wanting to follow Xing Nan.
Xing Nan hesitated for a moment, but still held the little monster in his arms, and then rushed towards the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Even with two big bags on his back, Xing Nan was still very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the trees.
This time I came out, firstly to escape from the whirlpool, and secondly to practice Shen Xin for a few days.
The great improvement of his soul realm allowed his consciousness to cover a ten-foot radius, and his sense of danger became more acute. It was very difficult for low-level monsters in the Forest of Beasts to attack him.
Someone from the Luo family has been watching outside the Wuyin Inn. This time they also discovered Xing Nan's movements, but they did not directly follow him into the forest.
This time I came out not to hunt monsters, but to find a quiet place to practice.
In the mountain forest hundreds of miles outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest near the Kirigakure Inn, there have been many monsters raging recently. However, the heroes of the Four Kingdoms came in and killed them, which also made the low-level monsters in this area significantly rarer.
This outer area of a hundred miles is relatively safe for Xing Nan, and he has no intention of going deeper into the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Where is the quiet place? He thought about it for a while along the way, and finally thought of the waterfall where his treasure was originally hidden.
After walking for nearly an hour, Xing Nan found the waterfall.
Jumping forward, his body penetrated the water curtain and grabbed onto the wet stone wall behind the waterfall.
After another quick dodge, he reached the entrance of the cave and then ducked in.
The cave is still very humid, and there are some snakes and insects.
Xing Nan held the Silent Shadow Sword and killed all the snakes and insects in the cave, and then untied the cloth bag tied to his body and put it down.
That timid little monster nested quietly in the deepest corner of the cave.
This cave is narrow on the outside, but very spacious on the inside, and there is a large secret room behind the opened stone door.
The cave is inherently hidden, and the roaring sound of the waterfall outside can also cover up the sounds Xing Nan makes as he exercises his fists and kicks. This is naturally a quiet place for training for Xing Nan.
After untying the two bags, they were filled with the flesh, blood, muscles and bones of a third-level monster.
Obviously, this time I came out to practice, it was mainly aimed at the Dragon Elephant Skill, and I also wanted to improve my physical fitness.
In terms of skill, Xing Nan has reached the peak of the late stage of sword fetus and can hit the realm of sword body at any time.
The soul realm is already comparable to that of Sword Spirit or Martial Spirit.
Only in terms of body, he couldn't compare to a true spiritual monk.
The most important thing is that his current physical fitness is not enough for him to fully display his peak strength in the later stages of Jianfei.
The last time he achieved a breakthrough in skill, if it weren't for the help of the Great Return Pill and the Golden Jin Pill, his body would not have been able to withstand the powerful impact of the middle-grade sword spirit.
Now if he crazily instigates the sword fetus that is at its peak in the later stage, the sword energy emerging from the sword fetus can also damage his tendons and inner abdomen.
"Five days should be enough. After all, there are so many flesh, blood, muscles and bones of the third-order monster beasts, especially the flesh, flesh, muscles and bones of the late third-order wind shadow beast!"
Xing Nan took out a can of meat sauce and a packet of bone meal, dissolved them together with water, and then drank it bravely.
After some digestion, he lit a fire in the cave and took out some condiments brought from the kitchen of Kirigakure Inn.
The barbecued meat of the third-level monster is not only for filling the stomach, but also has the effect of absorbing nutrients.
It’s not enough to just eat raw food, but also some cooked food.
After eating, Xing Nan first adjusted his breathing, and then moved his fists and feet in the relatively spacious cave.
As for the little monster, it ate the leftover barbecue meat that Xing Nan had eaten, and then stared at Xing Nan.
Xing Nan didn't close his eyes all night. When he was tired, he meditated and adjusted his breathing. When he was hungry, he continued to eat meat sauce, bone meal or barbecue.
During the day, he came outside the cave and stood under the waterfall to play with his fists.
The reason why he came out during the day is because his mental defense range is wider during the day. Even if a monster approaches, he will quickly find it.
The waterfall is more than ten feet wide and more than two feet high. In winter, the water flow was sparse, but now the water flow is very fast and there is a lot of water.
Boom boom boom…
The impact force caused by the water falling from above could not hurt Xing Nan, but it undoubtedly made it much more difficult for him to punch and kick under the waterfall.
Under the waterfall, there is a small pool, and Xing Nan is on the rocks near the pool, and his figure is also moving around the pool.
There are not many stones on the edge of the pool, and they are very messy. If you are not careful, Xing Nan will fall into the pool.
Not only did he have to be vigilant about his surroundings, he also had to be distracted and pay attention to his feet, which made it more difficult for him to practice under the waterfall. Of course, it was also a kind of training.
For a whole day, Xing Nan went from being uncomfortable at the beginning to adjusting, and then adjusted to being completely adapted. He finally got used to this practice method when the sky was getting dark.
Adapting doesn't mean there is no impact. In Xing Nan's plan, he wants to reach a level where he can ignore the impact of the waterfall in these limited days.
At night, he still hid in the depths of the cave to practice, taking meat paste and bone powder from third-level monsters, and practicing martial arts to accelerate the improvement of his physical fitness.
Practicing under the waterfall during the day has had quite an effect. At least now when Xing Nan is doing tricks in the cave, he feels that his body is much lighter. Without the impact of the waterfall, his speed is much faster.
Xing Nan spent three days like this.
Practicing day and night, his physical fitness has continued to improve, and he has reached the level of a spiritual warrior.
Originally, he was not far away from this level.
The subtlety of Dragon Elephant Kung Fu is indeed extraordinary!
This time he came out to practice, Xing Nan's goal has been achieved, and he will spend the remaining two days practicing the Nine-Section Opening Heaven Palm.
No matter day or night, he was always under the waterfall, resisting the impact of the water flow of the waterfall and launching the Opening Heaven Palm.
Originally, he could shoot three palms in one breath, but due to the impact of the water flow, he could only shoot two palms.
He believed that if he persisted like this, after losing the impact of the water flow, he should be able to shoot four consecutive Heavenly Palms in one breath.
The little monster was bored and left quietly alone two days after arriving here.
Xing Nan also knew that the little demon beast was leaving. He did not stop him, nor was he angry at all. He even sighed in his heart: "Oh, he is finally gone!"
Although the little monster looks funny, it is at least harmless. It has not caused any trouble to Xing Nan these days. However, it has invincible defense power, but it is too timid and useless. It eats many monsters every day.
Naturally, Xing Nan was too lazy to feed it animal essence and meat for a long time.
Better to leave!
It’s more peaceful for me to practice here alone.
****
While Xing Nan was practicing day and night, things were not peaceful over at Wuyin Inn.
As a representative of the Capricorn Kingdom, Jian Ling's brother Jian Yu also imitated his sister and shouted loudly outside the inn door, wanting to challenge Xing Nan.
Even though Lehua came forward and said that Xing Nan was out on business and would not be back for a few days, Jian Yu had no intention of returning to the inn and kept asking Xing Nan to go out.
Not only Jian Yu, but also several heroes later wanted to challenge Xing Nan, including Liang Peng of the Blackpool Kingdom.
For a time, Xing Nan became the target of all the young heroes in the three kingdoms: Kurosawa, Capricorn, and Youyan, and everyone wanted to challenge him.
The reason for this is not just the rumors. For example, Piaoyun Academy won the first place in the team competition, which made everyone jealous. For example, Xing Nan defeated Jian Ling with one move, which made everyone curious about his strength. For example, everyone wanted to defeat him.
The spirit of Piaoyun at home...
But Xing Nan didn't show up, and he didn't show up for several days in a row. Everyone didn't dare to cause trouble in the inn, so they had to give up.
The rumors changed again. Some said that Xing Nan was timid and timid, while others said that Xing Nan was too arrogant and had ignored the heroes of all countries.
Three days after Xing Nan left Wuyin Inn, the Xue family from Blue Maple City sent an invitation.
The person who sent the invitation naturally couldn't find Xing Nan, so he opened the invitation and read: "I sincerely invite Xing Nan's nephew to come to Xue Mansion to discuss the engagement of the elders, Xue Hongtao."
After reading, the man placed the invitation on the counter and left.
All the guests in the hall heard the contents of the invitation, and naturally there was a lot of discussion.
"Then Xing Nan and Xue Lanfeng of the Xue family do have a marriage contract. It was made by Xing Nan's grandfather Xing Hao and Xue Dawei, the head of the Xue family."
"Isn't this engagement already over? I remember that Xue Lanfeng didn't seem to have any interest in Xing Nan before, and she even despised him!"
"Things are different now!"
"Back then, Xing Nan was a famous loser in Lanfeng City, but now, he is comparable to a country's heroes!"
