"I am devoted to martial arts. I have to attack the inner sect now, and I have no time to care about the marriage of this girl."
Zhou Xing said calmly.
After saying that, he turned and left the lobby.
"Bah! Based on your qualifications, you still want to become an inner disciple?"
"This kid really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."
Several people The clan elder had a bad look on his face and was very dissatisfied with Zhou Xing's behavior.
But when these words fell into the ears of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, they felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why can't I, Xing'er, enter the inner sect? Didn't you guys also make the conclusion before, but now he has established himself in the outer sect."
Zhou's mother Liu Yu said angrily.
"Hmph! If he can become an inner disciple, I am willing to go to you and apologize."
An old man from the white-bearded tribe said disdainfully.
Several clan elders present all had sneers on their faces. Without the help of family resources, Zhou Xing would have a hard time reaching the sky if he wanted to improve further!
In the hall.
After a quarrel, with faces red and ears red, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou waved their sleeves and walked away.
"Oh God! This Zhou Xing is really stiff. He is completely disrespectful and needs to be cured."
"This son not only refuses such a happy marriage, He also monopolizes the land deeds and gold. Does he want to break away from the family and start his own business?"
Several clan elders spoke sternly.
Zhou Xing killed the three evil spirits of Honghu and monopolized half a treasure, a bounty on the territory, and ten thousand taels of gold, which had already made them jealous.
Now, Zhou Xing is against the head of the family again and refuses to marry. They happened to be taking advantage of the situation, and if they could defeat Zhou Xing, they might be able to get a piece of the pie.
"Family head, do you want to ask the 'ancestor' to take action and deal with this son according to family law."
The white-bearded elder suddenly suggested.
Ancestor?
Everyone present looked in awe when they heard these two words.
As a family based on one side, the Zhou family still has a secret master in charge. It's just that they won't be dispatched easily until the family's life and death is at stake.
"No, the time has not come yet."
The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, immediately shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Xing has not made a big principled mistake yet, and we have no excuse to treat him A big punishment will be carried out. And as a disciple of the sect, he has just killed the Three Evils of Honghu, and his reputation is at its peak."
"What about the engagement with Chu Fengyun?"
"We can only delay it for a while, maybe this son will change his mind. Besides, Chu Fengyun only made an engagement with us, and did not mention the time of marriage at all."
......
< p>Return to the courtyard.Zhou Xing calmed down and recalled the scene in the hall. He did not regret his decision.
He has monopolized the land deed and gold, but he deserves all of this.
In the face of extremely evil people like the "Three Evils of Honghu", there are several people at the top of the family who dare to stand up and fight.fight?
Before, in the sect, he was kept in the dark and did not receive any substantial resource help at all.
And now, how can I allow others to get the fruitful fruits I have risked and fought life and death for?
As for the marriage contract, this is his freedom.
"Okay."
At this time, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came in.
"Dad, Mom."
Zhou Xing felt a little guilty for letting down his parents' kindness.
He could tell that his parents were more in favor of this marriage, especially his mother Liu Yu.
However.
After coming back, my parents did not try to persuade them to get married as they imagined.
"Xing'er, no matter what decision you make, we will support you..."
Father Zhou Tiande comforted him.
Zhou Zhengran said: "Xing'er, you must become an inner disciple."
Uh?
Zhou Xing was a little stunned, why did his mother suddenly have expectations for him.
After asking, I found out that my mother Liu Yu had actually argued with several clan elders. Those clan elders were certain that Zhou Xing could not become an inner disciple, and their words were somewhat disdainful.
"Inner disciple, I must succeed!"
Zhou Xing murmured inwardly.
In two months, Yunyue Sect’s “Outer Sect Competition” is about to begin.
However.
In the early stage of Tongmai, I only obtained an admission qualification.
As far as Zhou Xing knows, those who have passed the competition and been selected as inner sect disciples are basically in the late Tongmai stage or above.
Two months have been quite stressful for Zhou Xing.
Inside the wing.
Zhou Xing sat cross-legged and performed the "Yunsha Mind Method" as usual.
He discovered that after the dangerous fight with the "Three Evils of Honghu", not only had Yunsha's boxing skills become somewhat successful, but the strength of his inner breath had also become slightly better.
Since then.
His Yun Sha mental technique operates more smoothly and progresses much faster.
Zhou Xing guessed, is it because after fighting, his state of mind is more consistent with the true meaning of "Yunsha Fist"?
"However."
Zhou Xing frowned slightly: "With my qualifications, even if the progress is several points faster, if I want to break through the middle stage of Tongmai, it will take a year and a half. "
He has no corresponding qualifications in the practice of inner breath.
However, after the channel opening period, the inner breath level corresponds to your cultivation realm.
Zhou Xing fell into brief thought.
In the sect, geniuses with good qualifications are, after all, in the minority. Most people don't have the ultimate qualifications.
So, what do these people with average qualifications rely on to improve their progress?
The answer is external resources.
To a certain extent, external resources are no less important than qualifications.
For example.
Zhou Xing’s current nominal “fiancée” Chu Wanyu has a mid-level cultivation of Tongmai. If it were a person with no family background, it was hard to say whether he could break through the channel-opening stage with such qualifications.
"That's right."
Zhou Xing took out a small porcelain bottle and carefully stared at the crystal pill inside.
This thing is the "hard work fee" that the mysterious girl "Ye Luofeng" gave Zhou Xing before she left.
At that time.
The stunning girl called this pill the middle-grade "Yunti Pill". According to her, if Zhou Xing's qualifications are not bad, with the help of this elixir, there shouldn't be much of a problem in advancing to the middle stage of channeling.
After a while.
With a thoughtful look on his face, Zhou Xing carefully put away this middle-grade "Yun Ti Dan".
Right now, he doesn’t want to take this pill immediately.
First, Zhou Xing is not confident about his semi-spiritual qualifications; "Ye Luofeng" has a high level of vision, and the qualifications she said are not bad, maybe for ordinary sect disciples , is already a rare qualification.
Secondly, Zhou Xing had not long since advanced to Tongmai, and he wanted to rely on his own efforts to accumulate knowledge.
So he put down this "Yunti Dan" for the time being and saved it for the critical moment.
Next.
Zhou Xing took out the semi-treasure weapon "Wind Chanting Sword" and waved it around the room a few times.
Hey!
Zhou Xing found that when he swung the sword, it was unusually light, and there was a faint sound of wind roaring in his ears.
The speed of the swing is one or two minutes faster than that of ordinary mortal weapons.
In order to verify this, he specially got a dagger of similar weight and volume, but it didn't feel that light and nimble.
"It is as sharp as a treasure and can slightly increase the speed of the sword. It seems that this is the real characteristic of the 'Wind Chanting Sword'."
Zhou Xing was amazed.
Of course, he has no martial arts training in swordsmanship. He can try it when he returns.
Zhou Xing suddenly thought that he could choose an intermediate martial arts for free as he broke through the channeling stage.
......
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xing has been staying in the clan and participating in martial arts.
Among them, "Bronze Statue Skill" and "Lingyun Step" are making steady and rapid progress.
In the field of physical arts, Zhou Xing's talent is indeed impeccable.
Only "Yunsha Fist", especially in terms of mental techniques, has made slightly slower progress, far inferior to the previous two.
This day.
Zhou Ying'er said goodbye in advance. Her deadline to return to Shuiyue Sect has come.
When she left, Zhou Ying'er received a large amount of resources accumulated by her family; but this woman seemed to still be somewhat attached to Zhou Xing's semi-treasure.
Zhou Xing’s deadline for returning to the clan is coming soon.
He went home this time and took a month's leave, which is now more than half of the time.
A few days later.
Zhou Xing stood up and said goodbye, unlike Zhou Yinger, he did not receive any help from family resources.
Deep in the Zhou Mansion, in an attic.
"Zhou Xingxing?"
The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, looked at the white-bearded elder in front of him.
This clan elder is the one who had an argument with Liu Yu of the Zhou family a few days ago.
"After leaving, he didn't get any resources."
The white-bearded man said with a smile.
"Yes. With his qualifications, it will be impossible for him to reach the front line in this 'Outer Sect Competition'. When the time comes, he will naturally change his mind."
Zhou Tianwei nodded. .
Original.
After Zhou Xing was promoted to Tongmai and established in the sect, no matter what his family said, he had to give some resources to help him.
However, because of Zhou Xing’s refusal to marry and even the monopolization of territory and gold, several clan elders unanimously refused to provide him with resources to help him.
"Hey, don't worry."
The white-bearded elder said confidently: "I have never heard of any semi-spirit without the support of family resources. , At least, there has been no example of becoming an inner disciple in Chu State in the past ten or twenty years."
...
On the way back to the sect, Zhou Xing was still there. It is walking, and the "Lingyun Step" is used to hurry.
While practicing body skills, I was rushing on the road, but the actual speed was not too fast.
Two days later.
Zhou Xing's "Ling Yun Step" has made steady progress, and is probably not too far away from the realm of Dacheng.
If he can break through to Dacheng, Zhou Xing's movement speed will enter a new level, and very few can match it during the channel opening period.
At a certain moment, when Zhou Xing passed a canyon mouth that he must pass through.
Oops! bass! rub!
Several figures suddenly jumped out of the nearby mountains and forests on both sides.
"Huh?"
Zhou Xing was alert and soon saw six masked figures in black.
These six masked men had cold eyes and exuded a chilling aura that chilled their hearts.
Zhou Xing felt a vague sense of crisis in his heart.
"Kill——"
Six figures, without saying a word, surrounded Zhou Xing from both sides.
The inner energy of these people is surging, and they are holding knives or swords, and some even emit sharp hidden weapons that break through the air.
"Two are in the late stage of Tongmai, and four are in the middle stage of Tongmai..."
From the induction of inner breath, Zhou Xing came to the conclusion, and his heart was trembling.
If there were just a lot of masters, it wouldn’t be enough to scare him.
Zhou Xing majored in "Yun Sha Gong", and after fighting against the three evil spirits of Honghu, he was very sensitive to evil spirits.
Right now, these people have astonishing evil auras and murderous intent in their eyes. They are definitely experienced in many battles.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before he got close, there were one or two hidden weapons, which were as powerful as the Ersha Blood Poison Darts, approaching Zhou Xing from two sides.
"Take your life."
One of them, who was in the late stage of Tongmai, used a black whip and made an astonishing muffled whistling sound, hitting Zhou Xing's foot.
Another person in the late stage of Tongmai held a spear in his hand and transformed into a deep cold snake shadow, like a tricky poisonous snake, attacking Zhou Xing's vitals directly.
The remaining four intermediate stages of Tongmai are all unambiguous.
Faced with such a lineup, even if they are as strong as the "Three Evils of Honghu", if there are no powerful means such as Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle and Mysterious Purple Flute, they will probably stay away and not want to fight head-on.
"Retreat."
In a flash of lightning, Zhou Xing made a choice.
With his own strength, he was really at a disadvantage facing so many experienced masters.
At the same time, his thoughts were racing, who was it that killed him?
A person who can come up with such a skill must have a certain amount of power behind him; as for Zhou Xing, a fifteen-year-old boy, the number of people he can offend is really limited.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in Zhou Xing's mind.
Above the canyon.
A young man in green shirt with a sneer on his face looked down at Zhou Xing who was being surrounded by a group of masters.
"Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing, you cannot escape today. Your opportunities and good luck end here!"
Wang Lingyun's handsome face is a bit sinister. .
That day, after the battle with Zhou Xing on Zongmen Mountain, he became frightened.
After the "Meteor Meteor" incident, Zhou Xing's progress has been so fast, it's like he has become a different person.
Wang Lingyun was sure that Zhou Xing probably had some opportunity or secret.
After returning to Xiangyang City, Wang Lingyun has been secretly paying attention to and inquiring about Zhou Xing's travels, as well as planning this assassination operation.
After learning that Zhou Xing was lucky enough to kill Dasha and receive a generous reward, Wang Ling felt jealous and resentful.
How could he be willing to see his once suppressed opponent leap forward step by step?
At this time, the mouth of the canyon below.
Faced with six masters attacking him from left to right, Zhou Xing made the quickest reaction - retreat!
Whoosh!
Zhou Xing launched the "Ling Yun Step", his body lightened up, and with his extremely fast movement, he narrowly avoided the interception of a group of masters.
Ding!
There was still a dart among them. He couldn't avoid it and used the "Bronze Statue Skill" to catch it.
Hey!
Seeing Zhou Xing using his superb body skills to escape from the encirclement, the first two men in black in the late Tongmai stage showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"When did this boy's body practice reach such an extent? No, how can this body skill be like Le Feng's "Lingyun Step"?"
Above the canyon, Wang Lingyun showed a startled expression. Allow.
He had seen this kind of movement technique from the outside genius Le Feng.
However. Zhou Xing's rapid breakthrough did not panic Wang Lingyun.
A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Lingyun’s eyes: "Fortunately, I have improved my estimate of your strength. Come and try my secret weapon!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
Zhou Xing just escaped a few feet away, From the dense forest on both sides, two rows of powerful crossbow arrows suddenly shot out.
Those crossbow arrows, each one as thick as a thumb, cut through the air with an astonishing scream.
"Armor-piercing arrow!"
Zhou Xing finally changed his color. The rare armor-piercing arrows in this army can penetrate the steel armor of cavalry.
In some cases, this kind of armor-piercing arrow is specially used to ambush masters.
At this moment.
Two rows of crossbow arrows, twenty in total, completely blocked Zhou Xing’s escape route.
No matter how you move, it is difficult to avoid all armor-piercing arrows.
Armor-piercing arrows not only have the power to pierce armor, but are also much faster than ordinary bows and arrows.
Gulu!
Zhou Xing quickly rolled to the ground and used his "Bronze Statue Technique" with all his strength to protect his body's vital points.
Ding ding ding!
There were still two armor-piercing arrows that pierced Zhou Xing, and there was a strong drilling force, which made Zhou Xing feel a sting.
Zhou Xing’s body skin was punctured, and a trace of blood flowed out.
However, the blood on the wound solidified quickly and was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What a strong penetration!
Zhou Xing is extremely clear about his defense of the "Bronze Statue Skill". Of course, his "Bronze Statue Skill" is only at the level of copper skin after all. If it reaches a higher level of copper bars, it will be different.
How come!
Wang Lingyun above the canyon had a frozen face and a look of shock.
