Seeing that the other party was so sensible, Ning Chen also smiled.
Although Zhou Zhihua brought it upon himself, Ning Chen killed him after all. We were all students at the Capital Martial Arts Academy and were a team not long ago.
He didn't care what people like Zhang Zhu and Tao Qian thought, but he couldn't care less about what Teacher Jiang thought.
Not to mention other things, Teacher Jiang is in the fifth level. If there is any misunderstanding about him, he may suffer some hardships next time he encounters him.
Qu Xiao had left decisively before. No matter whether she wanted to kill Ning Chen in her heart, she at least didn't say it out loud or take any action.
In addition, Ning Chen needed her, so he spared her life.
"Go." Ning Chen waved his hand as if to shoo away flies.
Qu Xiao didn't dare to say more, turned around and left.
"Wait a moment."
At this time, Ning Chen shouted again, which made Qu Xiao tremble. She held down the weapon with one hand and turned around with difficulty: "You don't want to regret it, do you?"
Ning Chen laughed: "I keep my word. But since you are here, I can't help but kill you, but it wouldn't be appropriate if you don't pay something."
Qu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as you don't kill me, you can do whatever you ask me to do, even if you ask me to do that."
Why does this sound a bit unorthodox...
Ning Chen rolled his eyes, Jiang Yun was still here, he said angrily: "Just leave the elixir on you and leave."
Hearing this, Qu Xiao felt like he was being pardoned and quickly took out all the elixirs without hiding any of them. Then he looked at Ning Chen and saw that Ning Chen didn't have many instructions, so he left quickly.
Ning Chen smiled sarcastically at Jiang Yun and said, "This Qu Xiao is a bit unruly. I just want to get some elixirs. I'm not that kind of person."
Jiang Yun's eyes were calm.
Ning Chen touched his nose and collected the pills left by Qu Xiao. There were quite a few pills, including all kinds of pills, and even a life-extending pill.
Later, he searched Zhou Zhihua and found out all the pills on his body, including life-sustaining pills.
Obviously, everyone knows that entering the secret realm this time is dangerous, and has made preparations in advance.
"Keep this life-extending pill." Ning Chen took out Qu Xiao's pill and handed it to Jiang Yun, thanking Jiang Yun for coming back to help him.
Jiang Yun didn't answer: "I have it myself." Then she added, "If you have more, give it to Han Zhong and Chen Zhao, they don't have it."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Then let me thank you on behalf of Han Zhong and Chen Zhao. This life-extending pill is worth 200 credits."
Jiang Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you thanking me? The pill is not mine. Besides, what's the point of thanking me for them?"
Then, the two left.
Jiang Yun didn't speak during the entire journey. It wasn't until she almost caught up with Han Zhong and Chen Zhao that Jiang Yun spoke and asked, "How are you injured?"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury."
...
Soon, the two saw Han Zhong and Chen Zhao.
The two of them were pacing back and forth, looking worried and anxious.
Seeing Ning Chen and Jiang Yun coming back, the two people immediately ran over and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are finally back, are you okay?"
Ning Chen said: "I'm fine, Zhou Zhihua is dead."
What?
Han Zhong was stunned.
Chen Zhao also looked stunned and asked with his mouth open: "Did you kill him?"
Ning Chen nodded.
Both of them were a little confused now. They had been worried about Ning Chen and silently prayed that Ning Chen would not run into Zhou Zhihua and others. However, they did not expect that not only did they run into each other, Ning Chen also killed Zhou Zhihua.
That was a fourth-grade high-level warrior.
"Ning Chen, you are so awesome." Chen Zhao exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Han Zhong gave a thumbs up and manually liked it.
Ning Chen smiled modestly and said to himself that this is really nothing, that is, I haven't recovered to the fourth level yet, otherwise it wouldn't be too easy to kill Zhou Zhihua.
A few people did not stay and left quickly.
...
After more than an hour, Ning Chen stopped.
"This place is good, relatively hidden." Ning Chen looked at the cave in front of him and was quite satisfied with this place.
This cave is under the waterfall, which is a bit like a water curtain cave. The outside is obscured by water mist. If I didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there is a cave here.
The cave is not big, only three or four square meters, but it is enough for Ning Chen.
"I need to practice, and I want to trouble you to help me protect the law." Ning Chen said, the surging energy in his body could not be suppressed and was constantly escaping. If he did not rush to the fourth level, a lot of energy would be wasted.
"Okay, just keep practicing, we will keep a lookout for you outside." Han Zhong responded.
The three of them left and stood guard for Ning Chen at a distance.
Ning Chen entered the cave and sat cross-legged.
When he no longer suppressed the energy in his body, his breath suddenly surged, and the majestic energy traveled and washed through his body, making his body tremble.
"Impact the fourth level."
Ning Chen channeled the energy and washed his body over and over again.
His body was already strong enough, but now, under the wash of majestic energy, his body was undergoing transformation, and every cell was groaning.
Ning Chen had experienced this once before in Longhu Mountain.
So this time it was very calm. As the energy washed away, the body began to transform. From the outside to the inside, strands of strange energy were born, showing a golden color...
This is Gang Qi, not the prototype of Gang Qi.
boom!
At this moment, everything came together, Ning Chen broke through the barrier and stepped into the fourth level realm again.
It's just different from the last time. This time his breakthrough is even more amazing. The energy is surging, and the Gang Qi appears golden. At first, it was just wisps, but then it increased rapidly, converging into majestic energy, swimming in his body.
, filled in the limbs and bones.
"In the Taoist cultivation system, whether it is the foundation-building stage or the Yuan-condensing stage, spiritual energy and true energy are stored in the Dantian, which is equivalent to an energy storage device." Ning Chen realized it carefully, "But the warrior cultivation system is not.
When you reach the fourth level, the Gang Qi is born in the body, but it is not stored in a certain place, but is filled among the limbs and bones."
The two cultivation systems are very different and have obvious differences.
The Gang Qi is majestic and moves spontaneously, filling all the limbs and bones. A random punch or kick can stimulate the Gang Qi and turn it into a fist.
The true essence needs to be mobilized, from the Dantian through the meridians, and finally manifests between the fists and feet.
"I wonder what it would be like if the real Gang Qi and True Yuan cooperated?" Ning Chen thought in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to try. Instead, he silently operated the fourth-level cultivation method and began to sort out the Gang Qi in his body and consolidate it.
realm.
The last time at Longhu Mountain, Ning Chen broke through to the fourth level. He looked extremely powerful, but in fact it was thanks to the Qinglu Sword and "One Sword Breaks All Laws".
Because he had just entered the fourth level for the first time and had not practiced the corresponding exercises for the fourth level, his use of Gang Qi was very immature and had many problems.
Before setting off to the secret realm this time, Ning Chen went to Shen Yingyuan to ask some questions about the fourth-level realm, and exchanged a fourth-level cultivation technique - "Geng Jin Gang Qi Jue".
