Time flies like a white horse. Three months is actually not a long time. In the blink of an eye, more than half of it has passed, and the day for the sect competition is getting closer and closer.
These days, in addition to diligently carrying a hundred dan of water every day, Shen Chen would also go to the alchemy room to help Elder Situ Chuan chop firewood in his spare time, working very hard.
Gangsters also have feelings, especially when they meet people who are kind to them without expecting anything in return. In order not to cause trouble to the sect leader and Elder Situ Chuan, Shen Chen also kept some details of that day in his heart. The sect's special skills are always only passed down to the next generation. The sect master, not even the five elders can get involved. There are some things that only the three parties involved know in their hearts.
In such a tacit atmosphere, about a month later, Shen Chen also successfully practiced the five moves in the Purple Current Cloud Sword to a great level. Although the printed copy had been returned that day, the content in it was not revealed to Shen Chen. Chen had already kept it in mind, which gave him enough time to slowly figure it out. After several epiphanies, he was naturally successful.
And when he recalled the ancient yellow book he picked up from the bottom of a dilapidated bookshelf in the library that day, Shen Chen couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
Shen Chen really didn't expect that as the Liuyun Sect's subduing martial arts, the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword was not the upper-level human-level martial arts rumored by the outside world, but...
Lower level of earth level!
When he opened the first page of the yellow book, Shen Chen was shocked. It was really unimaginable that Liuyun Sect, an ordinary sect within a thousand miles of Luoyun City, actually had earth-level martial arts. This thing was ordinary. Only small and medium-sized forces or above can have it.
However, Shen Chen soon felt relieved. The so-called ordinary man was not guilty of the crime of harboring the jade. Shen Chen understood the difficulties of the Liuyun Sect's previous sect leaders, but the existence of the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword had attracted some peeps. The previous sect leaders deliberately claimed to be the treasure of the sect. It's just an advanced human-level martial arts...
Because the matter was so important, Shen Chen had never mentioned it to anyone, for fear of hurting the sect that was so kind to him.
The Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword has five moves in total.
The first move was lightning and thunder. Shen Chen had already seen the sect master Liao Yan perform it on the top of Luoyan Peak that day.
The second move, Purple Qi coming from the east, is the same.
The real power of the Purple Electric Current Cloud Sword is the last three moves.
Flowing cloud style!
Lightning chasing shadows!
Purple current cloud!
"Each of these three moves is faster than the last, and each move is more accurate than the last, and they are more varied. Adding the previous two moves, the entire set of swordsmanship is executed smoothly and smoothly. The rhythm of each cycle can be changed according to the battlefield environment."
Shen Chen finally understood why, in the face of the power constraints of the five elders, all the previous sect leaders were able to securely sit on the throne until the end. They relied on this martial arts to suppress the sect...
Although Shen Chen was happy with the improvement in strength, in the next few days, Shen Chen was still worried about one thing.
It was exactly the bet made during the sect competition!
Shen Chen is not worried about himself. It is not difficult for him to get a place in the top five. In fact, Shen Chen has only one goal now, and it is a bit unbelievable to say it.
In the clan competition, he will defeat the top four senior brothers and sisters one by one until he defeats Senior Brother Qi Zheng, who is ranked first in the inner sect.
Shen Chen is really unable to accomplish this seemingly impossible task in the minds of the inner disciples. In recent days, because of his "secret learning" of the Purple Lightning Cloud Sword, there have been many rumors within the sect. Although many people They don't know the truth, but they all suspect that the leader, Liao Yan, intentionally favors him.
Shen Chen knew that only by showing his unparalleled talent in the sect competition could he settle the controversy and convince everyone.
Doing this can be regarded as repaying the favor of the sect leader and Elder Situ to a certain extent...
But the biggest headache for Shen Chen right now is that boy Wang Yue. The latter has been practicing very hard these days, but as the saying goes, you can’t become fat with one bite. Not everyone is as lucky as him, Shen Chen. Judging from the current situation, when Wang Yue meets Senior Sister Zhong Ling more than a month later, the chance of winning is really slim!
"No, I have to find a way to give this kid a martial arts skill that can become his trump card." After thinking about it again and again, Shen Chen quickly established his direction.
Most of the top ten disciples in the inner sect of Liuyun Sect are direct disciples of the five elders. Everyone in the top four has been a disciple of the five elders for many years. Shen Chen inquired privately that Senior Sister Zhong Ling is exactly Elder Situ Ya, the jade-faced demon fox, is now the only direct disciple.
With Situ Ya's temperament, such a precious disciple would definitely have all kinds of unreserved support. Shen Chen knew that Senior Sister Zhong Ling would also be able to use some of Situ Ya's powerful methods such as "Phantom Foxtrot".
In comparison, Wang Yue seems a bit poor. Although the sect master Liao Yan selected Shen Chen and Wang Yue as the personal disciples of Xiao Zhenhai and Lu Hao, the old hatred between the two parties is still lingering. Thinking about it, you know that Lu Hao, that old fox, cannot possibly What to teach Wang Yue.
This situation is indeed very difficult. Wang Yue's cultivation level will not be comparable to that of Senior Sister Zhong Ling in a short period of time. If he is not good at martial arts, there is really no hope.
As for the sect's library, Shen Chen had thought about it, but quickly rejected it.
There are indeed many intermediate and even upper-level martial arts in the Library Pavilion, but the basic skills of the five elders are definitely not among them. Furthermore, Wang Yue can enter the Library Pavilion, especially Senior Sister Zhong Ling, and I am afraid that she has gone in many times. .
Therefore, it will not work if you want to place your hopes on the library...
After thinking over and over again, Shen Chen decided to take a gamble. When Wang Yue came back from training hard outside and lay on the bed sweating profusely, Shen Chen put away his thoughts, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Gulu...Brother, you don't have to worry about me. As the saying goes, everyone has his own destiny. As long as I try my best, I will have no regrets." Wang Yue lifted the kettle and poured it into his stomach. When he saw Shen Chen walking away Come over and greet him inarticulately.
"Haha, you are quite open-minded. Well, since you don't care, it doesn't mean I have to lick my face to help you beg for help." Shen Chen was a little funny. He fell back and lay on the bed to pretend. He looked like it was none of my business, deliberately trying to offend Wang Yue.
"This...brother, have you thought of a way?" Wang Yue was startled at first, and then suddenly jumped up from the bed, his eyes full of ecstasy.
"Don't you care anymore?" Shen Chen continued to tease. This matter is not easy. It is not certain whether it will succeed or not. He wants to collect some interest first.
"I care! I care so much! Woohoo...Brother, you don't know. I've been so worried that I couldn't sleep these past few nights. I woke up in the night. Every time, I dreamed about the disappointed expressions of my grandfather and sister. I thought I was killed by a piece of tofu..."
Seeing that Shen Chen seemed to have really thought of a countermeasure for him, Wang Yue could not sit still. He was so excited that he began to sob. He only "cryed" for a long time, but the tears did not come out, and his face was covered with snot.
This guy can't act at all...
"Oh, forget it, even if I don't help you, then you are really doomed this time," Shen Chen sighed helplessly, not intending to tease him any more, and his face became a little serious: "Wang Yue, in the next few days Stop practicing hard, I want you to do something!"
"Brother, you said, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Wang Yue nodded seriously. This is a top priority for his cultivation. How dare Wang Yue be careless? Now I am afraid that even if Shen Chen wants him to go out naked and run around in the middle of the night, , he will not refuse.
Naturally, Shen Chen would not ask him like that, but the countermeasures he mentioned still surprised Wang Yue.
"Wang Yue, in the next few days, I want you to collect thousands of body tempering pills for me no matter what you think of. The more the better, well... if it doesn't work, you can lead the one who was conquered by me last time. Lin Hai's group of followers went around to borrow..." Shen Chen said calmly.
"This...brother, you are not asking me to learn from Liu Yong and seize the Body Tempering Pill from the disciples of the sect, are you?"
When Wang Yue heard this, he suddenly became saddened. Shen Chen's so-called "borrowing" sounded high-sounding, but in fact, what was the difference between it and plundering?
You must know that the body tempering pill is very precious to the disciples of the sect. If there are only a few, who will have extra people to borrow it? Besides, if you really want to borrow it, why bring a group of people with you? It is obviously to show off your strength. To force others to submit.
If Shen Chen hadn't asked for this kind of thing, he wouldn't have done it even if he killed Wang Yue. After all, he had suffered like this before.
"It's up to you. I have no choice but to do this. Wang Yue, don't feel bad. We don't really want to take advantage of you. We might as well pay them back twice as much after the incident. Let's borrow it first and use it later!" Shen Chen said lightly, he didn't want to take advantage of it. He is willing to be a bad person, but he is not a good person. The behavior of this kind of gangster seems to Shen Chen to be just and aboveboard!
"Brother, is there really no other way?" Wang Yue was still a little reluctant.
"Well, yes, if you can defeat Senior Sister Zhong Ling in a month's battle with the explosion of the small universe, it will be fine." Shen Chen smiled maliciously.
"Well... well, if you don't punish yourself for yourself, let's just be the villains this time."
Wang Yue's face was uglier than crying, but the matter had reached this point, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and obey Shen Chen's arrangement.
In the next more than half a month, Wang Yue, who had always followed the rules, gritted his teeth and started a huge cleaning work. He took several inner disciples and asked other disciples to "borrow" the body tempering pill.
Such behavior naturally aroused public outrage. Whatever Wang Yue did, he was often despised. His good brother Leopard Eye Zhang Lin definitely wanted to break up with him. Many people wanted to beat him up, but because they knew that this kid had something. The eldest brother who beheaded Lin Hai did not dare to take action in the end.
In short, in the past month, Wang Yue's reputation has plummeted, and he has become the heinous "number one harm" in the sect.
Due to their stronger overall strength, the scope of Wang Yue's group's actions was obviously wider than that of Liu Yong at the time. Unknown to the outer sect, even some inner sect disciples who were not weak in cultivation were brutally attacked by bandits. Naturally, It also attracted more curses...
One night more than half a month later, Wang Yue finally returned to his room in disgrace.
"Uuuuuuuuah...Brother, I'm almost too shameless to be a human being!" When he saw Shen Chen, Wang Yue complained with a mournful expression on his face.
Dejectedly, he took out a big bag from his arms, which was full of small jade bottles, making it a big bulging bag.
"Wow! You guys have gained a lot!" Shen Chen was heartless and deliberately used him against him.
"Brother, you still said that my whole life's reputation has been ruined by you!" Wang Yue's face became more and more ugly, and his face was covered with runny nose instead of tears.
"Okay, okay, don't blame me. It's all for your own good, and I'm not idle either, your eldest brother," Shen Chen comforted with a smile, then lifted a bag from one side and waved it in front of Wang Yue's eyes. Said: "Well, during the time when you went out to do evil, your elder brother and I were looking for people to borrow Body Tempering Pills everywhere. This big bag is no less than what your kid got!"
"Hiss, brother, how did you do that?" Wang Yue was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. The large bag of body tempering pills in Shen Chen's hand had an equally terrifying amount, but in Wang Yue's memory, there was no such thing as him in the sect. The bad behavior of this elder brother is spreading.
"I borrowed it from the sect leader, Elder Situ, Elder Chen and the others. I don't know how many IOUs I have written these days for you." Shen Chen rolled his eyes angrily, thinking of licking his old face these days. When he borrowed the Body Tempering Pill from the senior officials of the sect, his face always got hot and he was often ridiculed.
"Okay, Wang Yue, please go out first. Leave the rest to me. You can walk around outside and don't let anyone come in to disturb me." Taking over the big bag from Wang Yue, Shen Chen said calmly.
"Yes." Wang Yue trusted Shen Chen very much and handed over a bag of body tempering pills, then closed the door and retreated.
After Wang Yue left, Shen Chen sat cross-legged. Immediately afterwards, his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness. Soon, a simple mirror appeared in front of Shen Chen's eyes.
"Brother Mirror, I know you can hear what I said, so let me get straight to the point," Shen Chen closed his eyes tightly, as if talking to himself, opening and closing his mouth in the empty room: "The tempered body here Dan, at least there are two or three thousand. Last time in the labyrinth cave, you did not take away the energy from my Dantian. I am very grateful to you. This time, I have given you all two or three thousand body tempering pills. I'd like to trouble Brother Jing from there. Search the memory of the refining old guy and give me a power-type martial skill. If you agree, then please give me a signal."
