After returning to school from the research institute, Fang Ping seemed unchanged.
In the few days at the end of May, Fang Ping did nothing else. Apart from buying some body strengthening liquids, body tempering pills, and body strengthening pills, Fang Ping's bone tempering progress was still slow.
Old Man Li looked at it several times and then stopped talking.
From the beginning of May, when Fang Ping entered the middle stage of the third grade, to the end of May, which was nearly a month, Fang Ping's number of tempered bones had almost remained unchanged.
This is beyond everyone's expectations!
…
Even Lu Fengrou, who had barely been seen in May, found Fang Ping at the end of the month.
Beside the haven.
Zhao Xuemei, Chen Yunxi, and Fang Ping are all here.
Looking at the three people, Lu Fengrou said slowly: "Xuemei has made rapid progress in the past month or so. From first entering the second level, to now, she has tempered 98 bones and entered the middle of the second level, and will soon be able to enter the high level.
"
Zhao Xuemei smiled and said: "It's all the teachers who help..."
Lu Fengrou pressed her hands, interrupted her words, and said in a deep voice: "June is about to enter, and you still have 28 bones to reach the peak of the second level. It seems that there is no hope before entering the cave. Fight for it.
In a moment, I will reach the peak of the second level before the start of next semester."
Zhao Xuemei nodded quickly. As a warrior who tempered her bones in one go, it was extremely amazing that she could reach the peak of the second level before the start of her sophomore year.
This means that she can enter the third level in her sophomore year.
There are still almost three years left before graduation, and she can also try to break through to the fourth level.
"Chen Yunxi... is not bad. He has 115 pieces of bone tempered. At this rate, he will be able to reach the peak of the second level before the end of June."
In April, Lu Fengrou directly gave Chen Yunxi a death order. At the end of April, the bone tempering cost was less than 100 yuan, so she left directly.
At the end of April, Chen Yunxi's bone tempering reached 100 pieces.
In the month of May, the speed was still very fast. In one month, 15 bones were tempered. As expected, by the end of June, the second-grade peak was almost stable.
Chen Yunxi lowered her head and said nothing.
Lu Fengrou looked at Fang Ping again, frowned slightly and said, "At the beginning of May, you entered the middle stage of the third grade. It's been a month now. Is there something wrong with your health?"
Fang Ping shook his head and immediately said: "The body is twice as strong!"
"and you……"
Fang Ping knew what Lu Fengrou meant and explained: "Teacher, there are 26 vertebrae in total. I want to temper them all in one go!"
Lu Fengrou's pupils shrank and she said attentively: "So you have been mainly tempering your body and pulse recently?"
"Um."
"Do you know how dangerous and difficult it is to temper it all at once? Why do you have such an idea?"
Fang Ping explained again: "Before, I wanted to temper one or two vertebrae alone, but after tempering, I always felt uncomfortable, my spine was uncomfortable, and it was difficult to even use force..."
"This is a common problem among third-level warriors. Just get used to it."
Fang Ping shook his head and said: "I'm worried that before I entered the cave, I didn't reach the third-grade high level. Then my spine has not been tempered, and my combat power will be greatly reduced. So I either don't temper it, or I temper it in a short period of time."
Finish.
Tempering bones is related to Qi, blood and constitution.
I have bought a lot of elixirs recently, mainly for tempering my body. My physique has kept up. My energy and blood are strong. If I sit in seclusion for a few days, I may be able to temper my spine in one go.
In this way, I can directly step into the high level of the third level without having to go through this adaptation period."
"Tempering the spine at once..."
Lu Fengrou said in a deep voice: "Do you know how much blood and energy this requires? Don't mess around!"
There are 26 vertebrae. Normal people tempering the vertebrae, like Xie Lei and others, consume thousands of calories of their own energy and blood after tempering one bone.
After tempering 26 bones, at least about 30,000 calories of energy and blood will be consumed.
Moreover, this happens in stages and over time.
There is also energy consumption, physical consumption...
Fang Ping, it is necessary to temper it all at once. This kind of thing is impossible to accomplish in the eyes of ordinary people, and it cannot be accomplished by taking drugs. Unless you put yourself in an energy mine, or the kind of energy mine that can be cultivated.
.
In that environment, maybe it can be done.
The key point is that no warrior has ever tried to throw a lower-level third-level warrior into an energy mine that can be cultivated. The children of a ninth-level warrior are not so luxurious.
Fang Ping chuckled and said, "Teacher, I think there's nothing wrong with me. I'm very talented."
"you……"
Lu Fengrou glanced at him and snorted softly.
Fang Ping has extraordinary mental strength, she knows it.
But she told Fang Ping that bone marrow was like mercury. Fang Ping didn't realize it himself, so how could he have such confidence?
"Teacher, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, it won't be the end if you don't finish tempering. At most, tempering a few pieces won't affect anything."
Since bones can be tempered in pieces, Fang Ping couldn't temper them all at once, and he wouldn't die.
The reason why Fang Ping wanted to complete it all at once this time was because he wanted to give it a try and shorten the adaptation period.
The vertebrae are very important to the human body. Warriors at this stage are tempering the vertebrae. After each piece of vertebrae is tempered, there will be a short adaptation period.
It doesn't take long to say, it only takes a day or two to adapt to the tempering of a piece of bone.
But for 26 yuan, the adaptation period will be more than a month.
Fang Ping only found out about this later.
So since the first vertebra was more than half tempered, Fang Ping felt uncomfortable and changed his mind.
In the past month, his Qi and blood have been mainly used to temper his body and pulse.
Almost all the 24 million in cash he had was spent.
The wealth value is only 30 million left at this moment.
Of course, his vertebrae also made progress during this process. Although not one of them was completely tempered, the 26 vertebrae had some progress under the influence of elixirs such as the Body Tempering Pill and the Body Forging Pill.
It may not be enough to rely solely on the system to temper your bones with a wealth value of 30 million.
Fang Ping's idea was to sit in seclusion for a few days, rely on his own Qi and blood to temper, and use the system to increase Qi, blood and mental strength.
In this way, it will take a long time, but the bone quenching will be completed by yourself, instead of relying on the system manually.
On the one hand, it saves wealth value, and on the other hand, Fang Ping realizes some problems.
The system helps to temper the bones, but he lacks personal experience, and his control over the bones is not as good as others. It will take a lot of time to solve this sequelae later on.
Rather than doing this, it's better to do it yourself.
Lu Fengrou still frowned, and Chen Yunxi raised her head and whispered: "You want to finish tempering in one go? It's very dangerous..."
Fang Ping didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "What kind of danger could there be? It's okay."
Lu Fengrou took a breath and said, "If you really want to do this, then go to the energy room, or simply go to the qi and blood pool."
Fang Ping said with a grimace: "Forget it, it's too expensive, I can't afford it."
Fang Ping had already thought about this time of bone quenching. Either the wealth value would be exhausted, or 26 bones would be quenched, and then it would end.
In terms of time, it may take up to three or four days.
The energy room requires 240 credits a day, which he cannot afford.
"Borrow! Don't you understand your own platform?"
"Teacher, I don't think it's necessary to waste so much..."
Fang Ping really felt it was a waste. If it took three days, it would be 720 credits and more than 20 million.
It's the same thing without an energy room.
"You don't understand." Lu Fengrou shook her head and said: "The effect of the energy room is not obvious when you are at your peak, but when you enter the fatigue period, the effect will be obvious!"
"teacher……"
"I'm going to borrow 1,000 credits myself. Why not borrow if I can? If I die in the catacombs, I won't have to pay them back, so before I go down to the catacombs, I can borrow as much as I can."
Fang Ping was suddenly speechless. What you said makes sense!
No wonder!
No wonder the loans for third-grade warriors were opened two days ago. All third-grade warriors who went to the caves borrowed to the limit. On the contrary, those warriors who did not plan to go to the caves recently borrowed money according to their needs.
This is probably what everyone thinks.
If you die in the cave, you don't have to pay it back. Who cares how much you borrowed.
If you're not dead, just go down to the cave, and the interest will be nothing.
Fang Ping had been thinking about waste before, but now he suddenly realized: "I should borrow a little. Besides, I still have the right to be interest-free, so why not use it."
It was not used before because the borrowed credits had no wealth value.
But when he pays off the debt, the value of his wealth will be replenished.
"Then I'll borrow some credits and prepare to temper my bones."
"Tell me when the time comes." Lu Fengrou said.
Fang Ping nodded.
Lu Fengrou thought for a while and then said: "Once you reach the third level of high level, you should prepare for the training of combat skills.
Your tactics are still the basis for fighting in the first-level realm.
And you know very few skills, one is Cloud Step, one is Blood Explosive Sword, and nothing else.
Once you reach the high level of the third level, your energy and blood are close to a thousand calories, and it is difficult for you to control your own strength. Now you can burst out more than a hundred calories of energy and blood, but when you reach the high level of the third level, you may not be able to do it.
At that time, your physique will be stronger, your bones will be tempered more, and your Qi and blood will flow through your whole body, completing a systemic cycle.
At this time, the burst of Qi and blood will decrease."
Seeing that Fang Ping didn't understand, Lu Fengrou added: "That is to say, at that time, the power of the tactics you mastered was still the same. At the middle level of the third level, you need to burst out a hundred calories of energy and blood. When you reach the high level of the third level, you only need to burst out 30 calories.
Or 40 calories of blood can do it.
At this time, you can burst out a hundred calories of energy and blood at the middle level of the third level, but at the high level of the third level, you may only be able to burst out 50 calories, do you understand?"
Fang Ping nodded and said a little depressed: "So, by the time I reach the third level, I may not even have the basic strength?"
"right."
The so-called mastery of power by a warrior means that the ultimate move can explode at least 10% of the current energy and blood.
As the state of mind increases, as the energy and blood increase, the difficulty of mastering power will also increase.
Once Fang Ping reaches the high level of the third level, all of his previous killer moves may fall down, and he will become a newbie in the high level of the third level.
"I understand." Fang Ping thought about it and said, "Teacher, I will start to temper my bones tomorrow. If everything goes well, I will be able to reach the third level in three or four days.
I’ll spend ten days and a half practicing my fighting skills, and I don’t know if it’s too late to enter the cave.”
"It's okay. It's really going to be two days late. I'll go to the school and ask for a delay of two days."
Lu Fengrou didn't care too much. She went into the cave to hone the students, not to let them die.
Fang Ping hasn't mastered his strength yet, so at worst he won't go in this time. There's no reason to rush in without having mastered his fighting skills. But having said that, someone like Fang Ping, who is already at the third level,
There are actually very few people who haven't entered the cave yet.
This kid is progressing too fast, and he was hanging out with a group of second-grade warriors before, so the school has organized his time well.
Otherwise, after he reaches the middle stage of the third level, someone will probably pull him into the cave together.
…
Knowing Fang Ping's thoughts, Lu Fengrou stopped caring about him.
Lu Fengrou had a better attitude towards Chen Yunxi before, but now her old ways have emerged. Before leaving, she said: "Enter the second level peak before entering the cave, or else let your grandfather enter the cave to protect you!"
Chen Yunxi looked aggrieved. Didn't he say that he would reach the second level peak before the end of June?
Why did you reach the second level peak before entering the cave?
Fang Ping was happy when he heard this. When Lu Fengrou left, he said with a smile: "Yun Xi, your grandfather is a grandmaster. Why don't you let your grandfather go into the cave with us? Your safety will be guaranteed."
Chen Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "I'm not a child anymore. Do I need my grandpa to protect me for everything?"
"If you don't use resources, it's a waste."
Fang Ping curled his lips, if I had a grandmaster, I would wish to tie myself behind him every day, how cool it would be.
If you bully someone, you will bully them more vigorously. If you don't accept it, my grandpa will beat you if you don't accept it!
Chen Yunxi didn't want to, and Fang Ping had no choice.
Just to put it this way, the master is busy, so there is no way he can follow his children every day, even if he likes his granddaughter very much.
But the Grandmaster has many tasks, including encircling and suppressing cults, going down to the caves, and taking charge of one side, including resisting the invasion of foreign Grandmasters, all of which require the Grandmaster's intervention.
Although mankind is facing the threat of catacombs today, it does not mean that mankind all over the world is truly harmonious and united.
It is not uncommon to plunder the resources of other countries to enhance one's own strength.
Including some idle high-level strong men, these people's lives are guaranteed even if they enter the cave, and they may not care about the invasion of the cave.
It is not uncommon for countries to take advantage of the shortage of manpower to make a big profit and make themselves stronger.
And all of this requires strong men to intimidate.
The 300 grandmasters of China sounded like a lot, but the cave was divided into half, and the other grandmasters were scattered across the country. There were only a pitiful few, and the defense was already stretched thin.
…
Just when Fang Ping went to borrow credits and prepare for a breakthrough.
Dean's Office.
Huang Jing said in a deep voice: "He wants to temper his bones at once?"
Lu Fengrou nodded and said: "I think it's a bit risky, so when the time comes, you and I will go to protect the road and observe what's going on with his body. This kid didn't say anything about preparing Qi and Blood Pills."
"Is that so?"
Huang Jing pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "When the time comes, I'll call Old Wu together."
Lu Fengrou snorted, but didn't say anything.
"The freshman year is not over yet, and I have entered the third level of high-level... This speed... is indeed a bit astonishing."
Huang Jing murmured, this speed is faster than Wang Jinyang of Nanwu. Is it possible that there will be a fourth-level warrior at the beginning of the sophomore year next semester?
Entering the middle-level realm is a different world. For a middle-level warrior, it is enough to enter the political world and gain an admiral.
If you stay in Mowu, you are enough to serve as a martial arts instructor. If you stay in a school like Nanwu, you will still be a strong instructor.
"A special mutation?"
Huang Jing murmured, becoming interested in Fang Ping's breakthrough process.
