"Brother Zhou, Xue Qing knows that you are a good person, and I am ashamed of you. If you really want to stay in the sect, as long as Xue Qing is here, you will not let anyone bully you."
Mu Xueqing bit her thin lips lightly, with a guilty look on her face.
After all, the two of them have known each other since they were very young, and they both have a good impression of each other.
Would it hurt him too much if I did this?
She was worried that Zhou Xinghui would not be able to bear such a big blow.
"Thank you."
Xing Zhou uttered three words with an inexplicable smile on his face.
That smile has a sense of relief from a heavy burden.
Looking back on the past few years, he has been pursuing Mu Xueqing, feeling that the other person is far away, becoming more and more strange and distant.
Original.
Mu Xueqing has gone so far and is about to enter the inner gate.
From this point of view, the disciples in the outer sect, whether it is him, Wang Lingyun, or many other suitors, have made meaningless contributions.
The only difference is that Zhou Xing once won the heart of a beautiful woman - can this be regarded as glory despite defeat?
Zhou Xing couldn't help but imagine:
If Mu Xueqing had confessed earlier and cut off his thoughts, she would have had more energy to devote to martial arts practice in the past two years.
Perhaps, now I can break through to the channel-opening stage, at least the success rate is higher.
"Fortunately, it's not too late now."
Zhou Xing was relieved of his heavy burden, and his heart felt magnanimous. Although it was inevitable that he would be a little hurt, he had finally crossed this threshold.
Thank you?
Mu Xueqing’s bright eyes examined Zhou Xing carefully, and suddenly she couldn’t see the young man clearly.
"I will still stay in the sect, but I don't need your so-called protection."
Zhou Xingdan said calmly.
Martial arts practice is the path he dreams of. The sect world and the martial arts masters are the masters of this world.
He longs for this road.
After speaking, Zhou Xing turned around and left without any nostalgia.
The young man who turned around resolutely made Mu Xueqing's heart tremble inexplicably, feeling a sense of loss and pain.
At this moment, the confident and masculine temperament of the young man touched her heartstrings.
"Zhou"
Mu Xueqing's bright eyes were slightly red.
Suddenly, she felt as if she had lost something precious that could no longer be retrieved.
At this moment.
Zhou Xing suddenly turned around and left a sentence: "Also, see you in the inner sect in the future."
"See you in the inner sect? This is impossible!"
< p>Mu Xueqing shook her head slightly, almost subconsciously, and came to a conclusion.Of course she understands Zhou Xing's current situation. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for him to gain a foothold in the outer sect.
Soon, Mu Xueqing calmed down, her eyes filled with tranquility and determination.
Now that she has chosen this path, she will not regret it!
She has her own family, her own goals in life, and higher prospects. How can she be limited by a hazy relationship that has not yet begun?
After parting ways with Mu Xueqing, Zhou Xing ran all the way to the barren mountains further outside the sect.
Bullshit! rub! rub!
As he jumped all the way, Zhou Xing felt his body became lighter and lighter, and the world in his eyes became wider and wider.
After experiencing a brief period of pain, he felt in his heart the breadth and brightness of seeing the bright moon through the dark clouds.
"I must establish my foothold in the sect and enter the inner sect. I want to make my family strong and make my parents proud of me."
Zhou Xing leaped into the air and grew taller. Howl.
The little boy, at this moment, has vigorous vitality and strength to establish his own goals.
He didn't know.
When you take this step, how far will you go and how high will you stand?
In the wild mountains and forests.
"Iron Plow Fist!"
The young man's figure flashed, his fist skills roared, and there was a dull and shocking sound of cracking.
Time is passing.
The power of Zhou Xing’s boxing skills is getting stronger and stronger, and he even has the illusion of riding the wind and waves, causing heavy rain and thunder.
He continued to practice, not only to improve his cultivation and martial arts skills, but also to adapt to this enhanced body.
After merging with the mysterious heart, Zhou Xing's recovery power is super strong. Generally, he does not feel tired after practicing for several hours in a row. Only when he was too hungry would he go hunting for game.
It is equivalent to saying that his cultivation time and efficiency are far better than those of ordinary people.
Time passes little by little.
Zhou Xing’s boxing skills and even his cultivation are improving at the same time. Especially the former, it can be said to be a thousand miles.
The evening ten days later.
Ponka!
The roaring iron fist directly broke a tree as big as a bowl, sending sawdust flying.
For a time, dust flew up and the animals retreated in fright.
"One punch breaks the hardwood as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the wood in the gap is shattered. This can only reach the level of the Iron Plow Fist"
In the center of the dust, the young man closed his eyes, A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
After ten days of continuous hard training, his Iron Plow Fist finally reached the level of Dacheng!
General boxing and martial arts are divided into four realms: beginners, small achievements, great martial arts, reaching the peak.
The abbreviation means initial success, small success, dacheng and peak.
A martial arts, even a low-level martial arts, if it can be practiced to a great level, has a power that cannot be underestimated.
Not to mention.
The Iron Plow Fist is said to be easy to learn but difficult to practice. The further you go to the back, the more powerful it becomes.
This boxing technique, when it is first developed or completed, is even slightly less powerful than martial arts at the same level.
When it reaches Dacheng, the power willSkyrocketing!
"With my current strength, even if I fight against a disciple in the early stage of Tongmai, I may not lose."
Zhou Xing closed his eyes and felt the vigorous power in his body.
At this time, not only has his Iron Plow Fist improved greatly, but his cultivation has also reached the limit of the body-forging stage - the peak of the body-forging stage!
At the peak of the forged body, the basic conditions for impacting the channel-opening stage have been met.
In other words.
Zhou Xing can try to hit the "mai-opening stage" now. As for success or not, it's hard to say.
"Don't rush to attack now, there is still one and a half months."
Zhou Xing looked thoughtful.
He heard from the missionary elders in the sect that the more solid the foundation of the forging period, the better.
With a solid foundation, the inner breath intensity that can be endured during the "opening channel period" in the future will be greater, and the future martial arts road will be able to go further.
In addition.
When making a breakthrough, the "main technique" practiced is also more important.
The higher the level of the majoring technique, the deeper the foundation, and the stronger the strength after breaking through the channeling stage.
When Zhou Xing first entered Yunyuemen, he chose the low-level martial arts Iron Plow Fist in the "Tianwu Pavilion" for free.
Follow the regulations.
After advancing to the Tongmai stage, you can also choose a higher-level "intermediate martial arts" for free.
Other than that, we can only rely on the sect’s contribution points!
Contribution points can be obtained by completing some tasks entrusted by the sect, but it is not easy to obtain them.
Zhou Xing stayed in the outer sect for nearly three years, and the contribution points he accumulated were only enough to exchange for one more low-level technique.
This means little to him.
"My goal is the inner sect, and the starting line cannot be bad. I must gather some more contribution points, choose a better major technique, and then break through the meridians period"
Zhou Xing thought about it briefly and quickly made a decision.
The next day.
Yunyue Gate, Zongwu Hall.
It was just dawn, and many disciples had already gathered in the main hall where the Zongwu Hall was located.
"The task list has been updated"
A group of sect disciples looked expectantly and stared at the task lists that had just been posted on the wall.
Zongwutang is the institution where Yunyuemen issues various tasks.
As usual, the Zongwu Hall’s task list will be updated every morning.
Today is no exception.
"The number one on the killing list is still the Demon Clown. The contribution points for this mission have actually risen to 28,000!"
Some outer disciples were astonished. < /p>
"The cruelty of this demon is well-known in Chu State. All enemies who fall into his hands, regardless of men, women, old or young, will be mercilessly killed. It's such a tragic situation."
The senior disciples present changed their expressions upon hearing this and shook their heads.
At this time, a young man with a slightly immature face walked into the Zongwu Hall.
The young man was wearing the standard green robe of an outer sect disciple. He was inconspicuous, but his eyes were clear and powerful, and his steps were steady.
The person who came was none other than Zhou Xing.
"The killing list is not something I can touch now."
Zhou Xing's eyes lightly scanned the terrifying names on the list.
It goes without saying that the number one Demon Clown has 28,000 contribution points, including various other rewards.
To know.
The intermediate martial arts that Zhou Xing desperately wanted to obtain could be exchanged for only one thousand contribution points.
The second-ranked "Infinite Thief" and the third-ranked "Blood Blade Wolf King" are also notorious, each of them is either cruel or cunning, and they are even wanted by various sects in Chu State.
For example, the "Infinite Thief" is a flower-picking thief who specifically targets the daughters of noble families.
His highest achievement was to go deep into the imperial palace abroad and play with a princess and a princess of Chu State.
The contribution points for killing this thief are as high as 26,000!
The reward for the top twenty on the killing list starts at at least 10,000 points.
The rewards on the Killing List are generous, but with Zhou Xing’s current level of cultivation, if he meets these people, he will only be killed instantly.
On the other hand, after breaking through the channel-opening stage, you can try some goals lower on the list.
Zhou Xing moved his eyes away from the execution list and began to search for other categories of task lists.
In addition to the most dangerous killing missions, there are also more common collection missions in dangerous places, including killing some ferocious beasts and obtaining materials.
The simplest ones are the tasks of running errands and delivering letters, including going to the secular world to solve minor troubles.
As for these simple tasks, the rewards are either pitiful and the contribution points may even be single digits, or they are extremely complicated and waste a lot of time and energy.
In the past, Zhou Xing could only choose these simple and risk-free tasks, doing them several times a year for very little reward.
But this time, Zhou Xing plans to do some higher-paying tasks.
Accordingly, the mission risk is also higher.
However, Zhou Xing has a certain degree of confidence in his current strength, and he should have no problem protecting himself in ordinary tasks.
Not long.
Zhou Xing found a suitable task on the list.
“Kill the iron brown bear: Obtain materials such as bear bile and bear claws. Depending on the level of the iron brown bear, one bear bile will reward 20 to 60 contribution points and 1 to 5 pieces of inferior elemental stones; bear claws , one contributes 5 to 20 points.”
When he saw this task, Zhou Xing’s eyes lit up.
This task not only contributes good points, but also obtains bear bile and rewards Yuan Stone.
The Yuan Stone belongs to the sect world.Hard currency.
The Yuan Stone itself is a crystal that gathers the vitality of heaven and earth. It can speed up cultivation, replenish vitality, and can trade various cultivation resources. It has a wide range of uses.
Zhou Xing has stayed in the sect for so long without even having a Yuan Stone in his hand.
This is because he is still in the outer sect’s inspection period and has not become a true outer sect disciple; otherwise, a formal outer sect disciple would receive three inferior yuan stones every month.
"Iron Brown Bear"
Several outer disciples paused for a moment on this task, but quickly shook their heads.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but look thoughtful.
The reward for this task is relatively generous; although the iron brown bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and has strange strength, its speed and agility are said to be average.
It stands to reason that there should be many people taking on such a task.
But this is not the case. It seems that this task is not as simple as imagined.
"Iron Brown Bear mission, our team is still short of one person."
At this moment, Zhou Xing heard a voice in the noisy crowd.
The sound came from outside the Zongwu Hall.
Following the sound, Zhou Xing walked toward the three men and one woman outside the hall.
The speaker is a "triangular-eyed man" who is in his early twenties and appears to be a senior disciple of the "Tongmai Stage".
After staying in the outer sect for nearly three years, Zhou Xing knows most of the people.
This man with triangular eyes, named "Ding Jiuhui", is a veteran in the outer sect, and his strength is by no means inferior to Wang Lingyun.
The other two men and one woman include a pockmarked boy, a slender girl, and a horse-faced boy.
Zhou Xing had some impressions of the first two people, but he couldn’t remember their names.
The last boy with a horse face looked at Zhou Xing with resentment, he was an old acquaintance.
"Zhou Xing."
The horse-faced boy gritted his teeth slightly, clenched his fists, and looked slightly frightened.
It turns out that this person is Feng De; a few days ago, Zhou Xing was knocked away with one punch and crushed by three moves.
"Boy, I know you"
The leader, "Ding Jiuhui", stared at Zhou Xing with a pair of triangular eyes, slightly strange.
"Are you that Zhou Xing?"
The pock-marked boy and the slender girl on the other side looked at Zhou Xing in confusion, as if they were familiar with him.
"Am I famous?"
Zhou Xing couldn't help but touch his chin.
However, judging from the situation, although these people knew him, their eyes were full of contempt and teasing.
"Brother Zhou's reputation for being a soft-boiler has spread throughout the outer sect. Gee, even a beautiful woman like Mu Xueqing can get his hands on it. It's really enviable."
The pock-marked young man had a vulgar look on his face, and he actually seemed to have some admiration for him.
Eating soft food?
Under the strange gazes of the people around him, Zhou Xing almost staggered.
Obviously, the scene of Zhou Xing and Mu Xueqing "hand in hand" walking out of the cafeteria that day was seen by many people.
"Ahem! Now that we all know each other, it's easy to talk. I'm thinking of joining your team to kill the Iron Brown Bear together."
Zhou Xing was watched by several people. Hun felt uncomfortable and quickly got to the point.
"Kill the iron brown bear? Just you?"
Several people present, led by Ding Jiuhui, were stunned at first, and then they all showed funny expressions.
Except for Feng De, the other three people all had disapproving and questioning expressions.
"Do you have any questions?"
Zhou Xing finally realized that his reputation as a "soft ricer" was despised by these people.
“You’re not good enough!”
Ding Jiuhui glanced at Zhou Xing with a pair of triangular eyes and spoke bluntly.
As a senior outer disciple, he did not give Zhou Xing any face at all and refused ruthlessly.
"Haha! Senior Brother Zhou, that iron brown bear is a beast-level existence, and it is not as easy to deal with as you think. We are the ones with the lowest cultivation level, and we are all at the peak of the forged body, and we are also It must be a category with outstanding strength under the Tongmai stage.”
