There was a small box in front of Ning Chen. He opened the box and found two porcelain bottles inside, which contained first-grade body tempering pills.
This was what he had just redeemed from the logistics department. Including what he had redeemed before, it cost him a total of 100 credits, which was 25 credits. He gave Su Zhiqing 5 credits and he still had 20 credits.
"One pill a day should be enough for me to reach the peak of the first level." Ning Chen said to himself, opened a porcelain bottle, poured out one first level body tempering pill and drank it, then sat cross-legged and practiced according to the "Physical Tempering Method"
Carry Qi and nourish muscles.
Under the influence of the Body Tempering Pill, the training progress of Jinjin Chapter is faster.
It took an hour and a half for Ning Chen to stop. He exhaled and put a smile on his face, then quickly calmed down and went out and asked Han Zhong to go to the training room with him.
In only one month, in addition to raising his cultivation to the peak of the first level, he also had to improve his sword skills, body skills, and boxing skills as much as possible.
Why is Yan Yibing willing to wait for him to reach the peak of the first rank?
Obviously, Yan Yibing is confident enough. Even if his cultivation level is the same, he is confident that he can defeat Ning Chen with his superiority in martial arts, body skills, etc.
This is indeed Ning Chen's disadvantage. It is not a matter of talent, but a matter of time. The time he has to practice martial arts and body skills is too short.
Yan Yibing is already a junior in college. Although his junior year has just started, he has been practicing martial arts and body skills for two years, which is much longer than Ning Chen.
Enter the training room.
Ning Chen started sparring with Han Zhong. This time, Ning Chen did not use his D-grade alloy long knife, but chose the same standard long knife as Han Zhong.
when!
There was a loud noise and the sword collided, causing Ning Chen's wrist to hurt. Han Zhong also felt uncomfortable. He stepped back several steps and twitched his face.
"Come again."
Ning Chen didn't stop and used his sword again. The first and second slashes of "Nine Wave-Breaking Slashes" were connected together to form two consecutive slashes, and the power became more and more astonishing.
Han Zhong looked solemn and raised his long sword, intending to use offense instead of defense, and slashed at Ning Chen's waist.
Sure enough, Ning Chen changed his moves and blocked with his long knife, but his whole body immediately turned. With the inertia of the rotation, the long knife became sharper and he slashed twice in a row.
when!
boom!
After a loud noise, Han Zhong flew up, flew about ten meters, and hit the wall of the training room.
Ning Chen secretly blamed himself and stepped forward and asked: "Han Zhong, how are you? Sorry, I couldn't hold back my strength just now."
"I'm fine." Han Zhong shook his head.
In order to make Ning Chen feel at ease, he also gave Ning Chen a simple and honest smile.
Han Zhong also knew what the ring battle meant a month later, so he didn't complain at all and endured the pain all over his body.
"Let's continue." Han Zhong said.
Ning Chen frowned, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
In the past few days, the two were sparring, but now it was more like Ning Chen torturing Han Zhong. In order to hone his sword skills, boxing skills, and body skills, and strive to improve faster, he could not restrain his strength and had to attack with all his strength.
And as a result, Han Zhong would be miserable.
Although this is just sparring, not a ring fight, let alone a battlefield fight, and there is no life-threatening danger, some minor injuries are still unavoidable.
However, Han Zhong always just shook his head and said "I'm fine" with a naive smile, which made Ning Chen feel a little uncomfortable and panicked.
In order to make up for Han Zhong, Ning Chen took out the Body Tempering Pill and the Healing Pill, and asked Han Zhong to take a healing pill after practicing every day.
As for the Body Tempering Pill, since Han Zhong is currently in the middle of the first level, taking one pill a day is a bit wasteful. Taking one pill every two or three days is enough.
Healing his wounds, tempering his body, and being beaten at the same time, I really have to use one sentence to describe Han Zhong's feelings - that is, pain and happiness.
...
"Han Zhong, Ning Chen asked you to help him prepare food again?"
"It's been half a month. What is he doing? He hasn't reached the peak of the first rank yet?"
"Oh, I want to be promoted to the peak of the first rank in half a month. What a big dream, I can't even think of it in a month. It's a pity, I still want to watch him and Yan Yibing's ring battle when the one month deadline is up."
"Even if he can't reach the first-level peak in a month, it won't affect the ring battle. The two parties agreed that one month is one month. If he doesn't reach the first-level peak, he still has to fight. Otherwise, he will be directly judged to admit defeat if he breaks the contract. It's a pity.
Even if Ning Chen participates in the competition, it will probably just be a one-sided defeat."
There are many people in the cafeteria, including freshmen and senior students.
Half a month has passed since the battle between Ning Chen and Yan Yibing.
In the past half month, Ning Chen has been immersed in cultivation, in classrooms, dormitories, and training rooms. In addition, he almost never shows up outside, which makes many people curious.
The first-year students are all worried, fearing that Ning Chen will not be able to reach the peak of the first level, which will affect the arena battle with Yan Yibing.
They didn't want Ning Chen to lose.
After all, Ning Chen represents more than just himself.
The senior students were all teasing each other. Since they couldn't see Ning Chen, they had no choice but to talk to Han Zhong. When they saw him, they couldn't help but taunt him.
"It's only half a month, it's not time yet." Han Zhong angrily countered, "Ning Chen will definitely reach the peak of the first rank before the fight."
It turned out that it was okay if he didn't say anything.
The senior students laughed even louder after hearing this.
The first-year students couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because Han Zhong's words meant that Ning Chen had not yet reached the peak of the first rank.
Half a month has passed, and there is only half a month left. Can Ning Chen really reach the peak of the first rank before the duel time?
Seeing everyone's reaction, Han Zhong was a little confused. He scratched his head and asked the freshman: "What's wrong with you?"
"fine."
"What you said is very good. We also believe Ning Chen. You'd better stop talking in the future."
some people said.
A series of question marks appeared on Han Zhong's forehead. What do they mean?
Until he returned to the dormitory, Han Zhong still didn't understand what he said wrongly. Also, everyone's words always sounded wrong.
"came back."
Ning Chen's voice woke Han Zhong up. He grinned, put away his thoughts, and placed the food on the table: "Eat."
However, Han Zhong was a bit "gentle" when eating today. You should know that he usually "wolfs down".
"Are you okay?" Ning Chen raised his head.
"I'm fine." Han Zhong put down his chopsticks, "But Ning Chen, there's only half a month left before your duel with Yan Yibing. I'm worried..."
Ning Chen smiled: "I'm not worried about what you're worried about." Seeing that Han Zhong wanted to say more, he patted Han Zhong on the shoulder, "Stop talking nonsense, eat quickly, take a break after eating and go to the training room. Just remind you.
, you may have a hard time today."
Han Zhong said oh, then realized it after a few seconds and asked blankly: "Why do I have to work harder today?"
Because I am attacking and you are receiving, oh no, you are defending... Ning Chen joked in his mind, raised the corner of his mouth and replied: "Because I have reached the peak of the first level."
ah?
Han Zhong's eyes widened, and then he laughed happily. He wanted to go back and tell those people that Ning Chen had reached the peak of the first rank in less than a month and half a month.
