C15 (1/2)
”You … ”You are a demon …”
Chi Ming still had one last breath of life left. Seeing Liu Yang's death, he stared at him in terror, his voice weak to the extreme.
Zi Chen slowly walked over, walked in front of Chi Ming, squatted down, and used the other party's green clothes to wipe the blood off his hands, then said indifferently: ”If you want to kill someone, then you must have the awareness of being killed.”
After that, Zi Chen used his other clean hand to search within Chi Ming's embrace. After fumbling around for a while, he truly took out a zhenqi Pill.
”Not bad, I didn't expect you to have one. Thanks, brother.” Holding the zhenqi Pill in his hand, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
”Pfft.” Chi Ming could not bear Zi Chen's words, he used all of his strength on the last mouthful of blood he spat, then tilted his head, and fell to the ground.
This time, there was truly no sound at all.
Three people died.
Zi Chen stood up and walked to the side of the dead Fu Jie. After fumbling around for a while, he obtained another zhenqi Pellet.
Unfortunately, Liu Yang did not have a zhenqi Pill on him.
”This is opportunity.”
Zi Chen's eyes lit up. He took the two zhenqi Pills and left the forest while carrying the baggage. As for the three dead people, Zi Chen was too lazy to take a look at them.
Several kilometers away, next to a small stream, Zi Chen washed his hands, simply ate some rations, and then found a relatively safe place.
He sat down cross-legged and tried to calm himself down.
Eyes to nose, nose to heart.
Today's gains were great, he had obtained two zhenqi Pills and his strength at the peak of the fourth level of the zhenqi was naturally able to break through as well.
On the fifth floor of the zhenqi, one would have the qualifications to participate in the internal portal examination.
The zhenqi Pill melted in his mouth and entered his stomach. It felt warm and pure spiritual energy gushed into his limbs and bones.
The Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art was circulating, and just like before, after circulating less than half a cycle, this energy was absorbed by the heart …
After a few breaths of time, following the sudden heartbeat of the heart, a pure wave of silver energy appeared in the heart. Most of the energy entered the blood of the skeletal body and only a small portion converged into the dantian.
Many silver energy had already gathered within Zi Chen's dantian, and a few small bolts of lightning occasionally appeared within this silver energy.
Under the infusion of external energy, the silver energy within the dantian suddenly trembled and began to tremble, as if it was about to undergo some sort of metamorphosis.
”My body has absorbed too much energy, I can't smoothly break through. It seems I can't be stingy.” Zi Chen sighed and swallowed the other zhenqi Pill.
After that, as his heart shook, an unending stream of energy poured into the dantian, causing the entire silver energy to undergo a metamorphosis.
The energy in the dantian became even stronger … At the same time, within Zi Chen's body, every drop of blood, cells, bones, and even his bone marrow was changing.
In a trance, Zi Chen seemed to have the feeling that his own physique had broken through again, and was now comparable to that of a six levels Vicious Beasts.
After a long while, when the breakthrough was complete, Zi Chen opened his eyes. In that instant, it was as if lightning flashed across his eyes.
”zhenqi's fifth floor, I have finally broken through.”
Zi Chen's face revealed a hint of joy. To be able to take this step, success in entering the internal portal, was equivalent to opening another door for himself. In the future, the world would be very exciting.
There was still close to a month's time before the internal portal test. In this period of time, Zi Chen did not want to cause any more trouble, so he did not go back. Instead, he stayed in the forest for a while.
He calmed his heart and trained.
During the day, Zi Chen would work hard to cultivate the Battle skills.
”Bang!” ”Bang!” ”Bang!”
This sort of sound could always be heard in the forest. Great trees fell from the sky one after another, and the roars of fierce tigers rang out without end, startling away many small animals.
At night, Zi Chen would cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art, and the surrounding natural energy would quickly gather towards Zi Chen. After going through the heart's absorption, they would once again report back to him.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The forest was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the spring had already passed.
”The internal portal assessment should also begin.”
Early in the morning, Zi Chen opened his eyes from his cross-legged position. Today, he would begin his journey home and fight for the right to enter the internal portal.
”In the battles of the past, first place will receive a Second-Rate Combat Technique and three zhenqi Pellets will be rewarded. I wonder what the prize for this year's first place will be?” Zi Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.
The Spirit Martial Sect was bustling with noise and excitement.
The internal portal test was held every two years, and the wrong opportunity was only given two more years. In the bustling atmosphere, Zi Chen's return didn't attract anyone's attention.
