How could Strong be the opponent of Zhan Chen who had mastered the law of water? He was caught up in no time, and Zhan Chen immediately launched an attack on him. It was really difficult to kill the nine-star earth star realm powerhouse. He attacked for a quarter of an hour.
His body was completely destroyed, but it still allowed Strong's soul to escape. When Strong used the soul escape technique, he also said a harsh word: "Zhan Chen, don't let me meet you again, remember it!
"
Zhan Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and responded: "You are no longer my opponent, let alone wait for you to reunite and come back. By then, I will definitely become stronger than now!"
In the blink of an eye, Strong's soul disappeared. Zhan Chen had no choice but to give up. He turned around and killed all the pirates entrenched in the mining area. Zhan Chen alone killed nearly two hundred pirates!
After the mining area calmed down for a long time, Mo Kai came back with the soldiers who broke out. They were very surprised to see that the mining area had been solved by Zhan Chen alone.
Mo Kai asked: "Captain, where are those pirates?"
Zhan Chen pointed to the bodies lying on one side and said, "Are they all here?"
"Where's the bandit leader? He seems to be called Strong, but he has the cultivation level of the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm!" Mo Kai continued to ask.
"His body was destroyed by me, but unfortunately his soul was taken away, so he is still alive." Zhan Chen said calmly.
"Really solved by you?" Mo Kai looked at Zhan Chen in shock.
Zhan Chen understood his surprise and said with a smile: "Yes, I practice swordsmanship here and understand the law of water, so I have the ability to cross levels and challenge, so that I can win the battle."
"After understanding the laws, I find it difficult to even comprehend the secrets, let alone the laws." Mo Kai sighed.
Zhan Chen asked again: "How's it going? What's the loss?"
Mo Kai replied: "Thanks to your good command, only three of our people died."
Zhan Chen sighed and said, "There are still casualties."
"Captain, there is nothing we can do about this. This group of pirates came well-prepared, and there are nine-star Earthly Star Realm experts among them. This is already a very small loss."
"Keep the deceased's body properly and I will report it after the mission is over." Zhan Chen said.
Everyone was extremely excited when they learned that their company captain had successfully surpassed the ranks and challenged the bandit leader of the Nine Star Realm. They all felt that following such a strong man would give them an extra guarantee of their lives.
Since then, there have been no major disturbances in the mining area, and the ten-year mission period has passed in the blink of an eye. Zhan Chen returned to Zhanling City with his troops and reported the situation of the defense to his superiors.
His superior was a lieutenant named Liu Yi. After listening to Zhan Chen's report, he laughed and said: "Zhan Chen, I already know about your elimination of the bandit group headed by Strong."
Zhan Chen said in surprise: "How could the headquarters know about this when it is thousands of miles away?"
Liu Yi replied: "Actually, we have been tracking Strongk for some time. This Strongk gang has been operating near our Zhanling City. For tens of thousands of years, he has repeatedly attacked our base, burning, killing, and looting.
, but he was so elusive that we never caught his tail."
So the fact that you eliminated him was quickly discovered and confirmed by us. I am very happy, so I decided to reward you.
Zhan Chen was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Thank you very much, Colonel, for your support."
Liu Yi said: "I am giving rewards based on merit, and I have asked for instructions from above. Now I will announce the reward for you. First, I will give your company an extra hundred years of vacation, that is, two hundred years. During these two hundred years, the salary will be increased."
Double it, and besides, this is my personal reward for you."
As he spoke, Liu Yi took out a sword, handed it to Zhan Chen and said: "This is a three-star low-grade sword I have used. It's called the Seven-Star Sword. It has the lowest threshold of use among the three-star swords. It is suitable for the nine-star land."
The former is used in the Star Realm. I see that your cultivation is profound and you should be close to a breakthrough, so I gave it to you."
Zhan Chen was overjoyed after hearing this, took the sword and said, "Thank you very much for the reward, Captain, I will definitely keep up the good work!"
Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, you deserve this. We, Zhanling City, will not treat everyone who has made great contributions to the city unfairly."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Zhan Chen left. He hurriedly returned to his training room, took out the Seven-Star Sword and looked at it carefully.
This weapon sword looks much more delicate than the Baxia sword. It is completely blue and has seven shining stars engraved on the sword in a row. Zhan Chen privately thinks that this is how the sword got its name.
He input star power into it and found that the first star on the sword lit up, but the light was dim, so he stopped inputting star power, shook it involuntarily, and said to himself: "With my strength, it is really difficult to use it.
Show the true power of this sword."
Each of the seven stars on the Seven-Star Sword lights up will increase the power of the sword by 10%. Seven stars represent a maximum increase of 70%. However, the minimum threshold for using it is the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm. It may be truly
To unleash its full power, one must have a cultivation level close to the stellar realm.
"It seems that I have to break through the Nine Star Realm immediately. I can't wait to know the power of the sword." Zhan Chen thought silently, and became more motivated to practice.
This time they were on vacation for two hundred years, which was converted into two million years in the secret realm, which was enough for him to break through the nine-star earth star realm. He immediately entered a state of seclusion. Because he understood the law of water and improved his realm,
The breakthrough was surprisingly smooth. It only took him three hundred thousand years to break through, and it took him hundreds of years to completely consolidate his cultivation in the Nine Stars Earth Star Realm.
After the breakthrough, Zhan Chen did not continue to practice. He happily took out the Seven Star Sword and injected star power again. This time, three stars on the Seven Star Sword lit up at once. Three stars represented a 30% increase in power.
strength.
Zhan Chen immediately performed a set of sword techniques, then kept nodding and praised: "The Seven Star Sword is really extraordinary, much more powerful than the Baxia Sword. Now as my cultivation level has improved, the Baxia Sword is no longer suitable for me."
If you use it, you can follow me to conquer the world from now on!"
Putting away the sword, Zhan Chen felt a little regretful in his heart. Although the Seven-Star Sword was a three-star sword, it was given as a random gift and the quality was certainly not very good. If he ascended to the star realm, he would have to change to a suitable weapon. However,
This is all a thing for another day, what I have to do now is to work hard to improve my cultivation.
Now it was time to try to refine the Holy Alchemy. Zhan Chen took out the alchemy furnace that Bruns had given him for safekeeping at that time, as well as the alchemy materials he had collected.
Looking at the elixir furnace in his hand, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and he murmured: "I don't know if I can refine the Shenghua elixir now."
Zhan Chen input star power into the alchemy furnace and began to extract the essence of the elixir according to the method Bruns taught him. It seemed to be going well at first, but the star power required to maintain the fire of the alchemy furnace was too great.
After Zhan Chen extracted an elixir, he felt that his star power was almost exhausted. He had to start taking elixirs that replenished his star power before he could continue extracting. As time passed, he felt that his condition was getting worse and worse, and he even became suspicious.
Can this elixir be successfully refined? Sure enough, after hundreds of years of hard work, the result he got was a useless elixir.
Zhan Chen looked at the waste elixir in his hand but showed a smile, and said excitedly: "Finally I succeeded in refining it. Although it is a waste elixir, Teacher Bruns said that the elixir success rate of Sheng Hua Dan is
It is relatively low in nature, and it is difficult to refine it with my level of cultivation, but I already know how I can refine it!"
He did not continue to try alchemy, but walked out of the military camp and came to the market in Zhanling City to buy various auxiliary formations for alchemy. These formations were not cheap, but they could greatly increase the alchemist's rate of making pills.
It can also make up for the deficiencies in cultivation to a certain extent.
Then he returned to his room and began to practice in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. It took him nearly a million years to upgrade his cultivation to the initial stage of the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm.
However, the total amount of star power that Jie possesses is nearly 30% more than when he first entered the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm, and the recovery speed of star power is also greatly accelerated.
At this point, Zhan Chen finally gained confidence. At least refining the Shenghua Dan again would not be as hard as the last time. However, to be on the safe side, he still laid out all the formations he bought, and then took out the medicinal materials and continued refining.
elixir.
As expected, the refining process seemed to go very smoothly this time. Although Zhan Chen still tried his best to refine this high-level elixir, at least he did not have to rely on constantly replenishing elixirs to restore his star power like the last time. The cost of refining
Reduced by half!
However, although the refining process went smoothly, the result was not satisfactory. After hundreds of years of hard work, Zhan Chen's hard work still resulted in a useless elixir.
But Zhan Chen was not discouraged, and there was still plenty of time. He continued to take out the next batch of medicinal materials and started refining...
Over the next five thousand years, Zhan Chen formed an indissoluble bond with failure, and failed sixteen times in a row, consuming a large amount of medicinal materials, all of which were purchased from the market at a high price.
Fortunately, the family fortune Bruns left to him was quite solid and could withstand such consumption.
At one point, Zhan Chen even wanted to give up and go directly to the market to purchase a pill with the same grade and effect as Shenghua Pill. However, after looking at the price, he still chose to give up because he bought the next pill.
The price of a high-level elixir similar to the Shenghua elixir is equivalent to purchasing two to three hundred doses of medicinal materials. Even if he can afford one or two now, what about in the future?
So he returned to the training room and continued to rely on his own efforts to refine the Shenghua Dan. His hard work paid off, and after eighteen failures, he finally managed to succeed on the 19th time.
Looking at the elixir in his hand, Zhan Chen was both excited and emotional. After suppressing the throbbing in his heart, he sat back on the futon and drank the elixir. The power of the Shenghua elixir was really powerful. As soon as he took the elixir, he
In an instant, he felt like his body was about to be stretched
The illusion of explosion, the surging medicinal power constantly impacting the meridians, causing the meridians to continue to rupture, but at the same time, the unique medicinal power of Shenghuadan is also actively repairing the meridians, and the speed of destruction and repair has reached a balance to a certain extent.
.
Zhan Chen did not dare to hesitate. He tried his best to use his skills to absorb the medicinal power, because if there was a slight delay, the speed of destruction would prevail, and some of the medicinal power would inevitably escape to the outside world, and he had no time to take care of it.
The process of refining this elixir lasted for nearly a hundred years, but the effect obtained was far greater than that of his millions of years of practice. Zhan Chen's cultivation has steadily entered the intermediate level of the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm.
