This breakthrough gave Zhan Chen great encouragement, which further strengthened his determination to continue studying and refining the Shenghua Dan. During the next holiday, his life was spent in alchemy and cultivation. By the end of the holiday
At that time, he took a total of six Shenghua Pills and raised his cultivation to the level of the Great Perfection of the Nine-Star Earth Star Realm. However, he still could not break through the Star Realm.
, on the one hand, he lacked the necessary experience to break through to the stellar realm, and on the other hand, he found that his foundation was much deeper than ordinary people of the same level, so the amount of Saint Huardan he spent on the breakthrough was much higher than what Bruns had given him at the time.
The quantity he mentioned. But this is a good thing. He has a solid foundation, which means that he is stronger than ordinary people of the same level, and has a greater chance of breaking through to the stellar realm.
Originally, Zhan Chen planned to continue to consolidate his cultivation, but his vacation was over and he had to leave the country and return to the barracks. As soon as he arrived at the barracks, he noticed something unusual.
People were talking about something everywhere, and Zhan Chen was curious about it, so he used his hearing, which was much higher than that of ordinary practitioners, to start eavesdropping on their conversations.
One of them asked: "Hey, why do I see everyone looking so nervous?"
Another person lowered his voice and said, "I'm telling you here quietly, but please don't spread the word casually."
"Why should it be so mysterious?"
"I won't tell you if you don't agree, otherwise it will cause trouble."
"Okay then, you say."
"Recently, I heard that many sea monsters have landed in the territories around our Zhanling Island, but they were all defeated by the guards."
"Oh, I understand, that means the next target of the sea monster tide is probably our Zhanling Island."
"Yes, this is a sign of danger, so everyone is panicked now."
"Then let's apply for discharge immediately!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. We signed the agreement, and they won't let us leave before the time is up."
"How can they still restrict us when we have legs growing on us? The worst case scenario is that we will escape to an alien planet!"
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. It's just a sign. It doesn't mean that we will be attacked soon. Besides, it's more dangerous if you choose to escape. Don't you know? The higher-ups have issued a ban on soldiers leaving privately. Our military
There are law enforcement teams patrolling around the clock to punish deserters, and several have been executed in the past two days, but even so, some people still take risks."
"It's so serious. Damn it, I shouldn't have joined the army in the first place."
"Yes, I regret it too. Now I can only ask for happiness."
"Now we can only practice more and try our best to improve our strength."
Then the two of them looked like they were sighing and resigned to their fate.
After listening to their conversation, Zhan Chen basically understood the current situation. Although he was a little nervous, he did not regret it. There was even some inexplicable excitement in his veins. Maybe it was because he had not experienced the battle between life and death for so long.
After fighting, this sea monster wave may be an opportunity for him to break through.
Zhan Chen continued to walk towards the military camp, because he had to report to his boss after his vacation. When he came to the camp, he found that his boss had changed, it was a new face, and next to him there was a familiar face, who was introduced to him by no one else.
Wang Meng of the Pioneer Army, but his military rank had been raised two levels, significantly above his own, and he became a captain.
Wang Meng looked at Zhan Chen
When he came, he smiled and said, "Zhan Chen, it's so destined that we meet again!"
Zhan Chen smiled and said: "Yes, but let's put the small talk later. I want to report to the general first."
"Haha, don't be nervous, your new boss is my brother, his name is Wang Hu."
Wang Hu's face changed slightly and he said: "Wang Meng, even though I am your friend, in my current capacity I will not show favoritism. Everything will be carried out in accordance with military regulations and disciplines."
Wang Meng smiled and said: "I know, I know, you are the first thing you need to do as a new official."
Wang Hu looked at Zhan Chen, with a flash of appreciation on his face, and said, "Zhan Chen, I know you."
Zhan Chen asked curiously: "Does the general also know about me?"
"I know, I have done a detailed investigation before coming here, so I know the information of every officer under my command. Moreover, the affairs of your company were also spread in our military camp at that time. Don't you think?
It’s hard to even know. A strong man with an eight-star earth star realm actually defeated a nine-star earth star realm powerhouse. It’s truly amazing!”
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said: "I won by chance, so at that time I had the idea of fighting to the death."
"Zhan Chen, I'm very optimistic about you. Besides, your cultivation level has now reached the Nine Star Earth Star Realm. It's possible that even my brother Wang Meng won't be your opponent."
"Brother Wang Meng has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich combat experience. If it comes to life and death, I'm afraid I am no match for him."
"Haha, if the opponent's subordinates have seen the truth, we will find out later when we go out and compare." Wang Meng said with a smile.
"Okay, since Brother Wang is so elegant, I am naturally willing to accompany him to the end." Zhan Chen is also eager to give it a try. He still lacks an intuitive understanding of the growth of his strength.
At this time, Wang Hu said: "Okay, I know about Zhan Chen's return of your company. Now that the situation around us is not peaceful, I think you will be assigned a arduous task soon."
"Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, our whole company will serve life and death!" Zhan Chen said loudly.
"Very good, you can go back." Wang Meng said again.
"My subordinates, please retire." Zhan Chen and Wang Meng said in unison, and then the two of them left the military camp. Wang Meng patted Zhan Chen on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go to the martial arts field now."
Zhan Chen was stunned and said, "Are you going now?"
"Of course, I, Wang Meng, have always had the personality to do whatever I want."
So the two came to the martial arts field again. This was Zhan Chen's first time here. Everywhere he looked, he could see soldiers fighting fiercely.
Zhan Chen sighed: "This is the martial arts arena. This is my first time here. I didn't expect there to be so many people."
Wang Meng responded: "Brother, there are usually no people coming to this martial arts arena, but this time the war is coming, there are more talents. Everyone comes here with a temporary mentality, in order to be their best in the next war.
Increase your chances of survival."
"So that's it."
While the two were talking, they found an open space and stood there. Wang Meng looked at Zhan Chen with bright eyes, took out a sword and said, "Zhan Chen, this is our first fight. You're welcome, just come over and attack us!"
"Okay!" Zhan Chen took out the newly obtained Seven-Star Sword, and the new sword added three points of courage in his hand.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Suddenly Zhan Chen activated. He rushed towards Wang Meng with all his strength and struck with his sword. This blow was just a normal attack.
No sword skills were used, and no secrets were added.
Wang Meng roared: "Zhan Chen, don't use this kind of attack. You should go all out from the beginning. You must know that the fight between life and death only takes a moment!"
He poured all his star power into the sword and faced Zhan Chen. The swords collided. Zhan Chen only felt that his sword was bounced away by a huge force, and then his body flew out and fell backwards.
Wang Meng then accelerated towards his body, raised his knife and slashed, and shouted: "Fire Killing!"
A huge round of sword energy flew towards Zhan Chen's body that lost its center of gravity. This blow gathered Wang Meng's full strength. Zhan Chen could feel the terrifying energy contained in this sword energy. If he was hit by it, it would be quite serious.
Oops, he won't die immediately, but he will be seriously injured and lose the ability to fight again.
So he tried his best to adjust his posture in mid-air, and then blocked the Seven-Star Sword in the final path of the sword energy to buffer its destructive power. The sword energy immediately collided with Zhan Chen's sword, and Zhan Chen's body flew up again in mid-air.
It glided for hundreds of meters before falling to the ground, and rolled dozens of times on the ground before stopping.
Zhan Chen got up and just recovered, when he found Wang Meng appeared in front of him again, slashing with a sword, but this time he did not use sword skills because time did not allow it.
Zhan Chen hurriedly blocked it with his sword. The two fought back and forth for hundreds of rounds. In the blink of an eye, Zhan Chen's body was covered with deep and shallow wounds. He had no chance to use the secret weapon of water.
He had to shout: "Brother Wang Meng, stop, I admit defeat."
Wang Meng then put away the knife and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I can take revenge for this. You defeated me last time."
Zhan Chen shook his head and said, "I'm really ashamed. My cultivation level has improved, but I'm not as good as you."
Wang Meng said: "But I'm wondering why you didn't use the secret technique last time."
Zhan Chen replied: "No, I can't beat you even if I use it now." Because he knew that Xiaoyan's strength had not kept up with his progress, and even using the Beast King's blessing would not be of much help. But he
Then he turned around and said, "Wang Meng, I have understood the law of water, but you didn't give me the chance to use it."
"Haha, that's really not good. Laws, tsk tsk, I have only comprehended the Great Perfection of the Mysteries of Fire. If you were to use this, I would probably be killed instantly, but that's how fighting is. There are no ifs and whethers in a life-or-death battle.
"
"Yes, my consciousness is not as high as yours, that's why I failed." Zhan Chen honestly admitted his mistake.
"Okay, can you fight again?"
"Okay, as long as you give me a chance to breathe, I will recover." As Zhan Chen spoke, he saw that the wounds on his body had begun to heal.
"Great, let me see your law of water this time. I have never fought with someone who understands the power of the law." Wang Meng said.
"I won't let you down." Zhan Chen smiled slightly. He slowly closed his eyes and seemed to be entering a certain state. Wang Meng, who was standing opposite him, felt that some kind of magical change had occurred in Zhan Chen.
His body gradually grew taller and taller, as if he was facing an endless deep sea.
This made Wang Meng feel inexplicably anxious. So instead of waiting any longer, he took the initiative and rushed towards Zhan Chen again, concentrating all his strength and slashing at Zhan Chen's head.
