The first month of Young Master Hua's retreat passed in a blink of an eye.

A lot has happened this month.

First of all, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Hua Duxiu can't remember how many Chinese New Year's Eves he has spent outside, the last time was in Jizong, and the next few times was in the Moliu Mansion.

In short, it's been a long time since I've been with my father and mother for the New Year.

The year of the army is simply too simple compared to the wealthy sects, let's just say that, except for the three meals that day turned into pork and green onion dumplings, there was almost no change.

If it weren't for the sudden eating of dumplings, Young Master Hua wouldn't have realized that this day was Chinese New Year's Eve.

After the New Year, he will be one year older, and Young Master Hua will be nineteen.

Thinking of this, Hua Duxiu couldn't help but sigh.

Alas.

Another year older, one step away from the good years of my youth, and the crow's feet engraved with the vicissitudes of life are one step closer to the appearance of my radiant eyes.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Young Master Hua just made an exception and drank a small glass of rice wine at dinner.

In this month, Hua Duxiu put away all his thoughts and concentrated on cultivation.

In the realm of internal force, the storm vortex of the sea of dantian is steadily expanding, and the true qi and rain can be either condensed and hidden in the storm at will, or it can be smashed out wildly in an instant, and the real rainstorm pours.

Correspondingly, Hua Duxiu's internal force is more freely retracted, and the true qi is mobilized more smoothly in the meridians.

However, his realm has not yet broken through, and he is still stuck in the sixth-level combat power.

Hua Duxiu sighed again and again, even with the blessing of divine skills such as "one qi and two streams", and the method of vipassana to accelerate his cultivation, he was more than one or two times faster than ordinary people in cultivating internal strength, and it was still difficult to improve the realm of internal force.

And people like Bao Yibao, Beiguo Tienan, Gao Jiandong and others who are not a few years older than him are already about to touch the door of the third realm, and they really don't know how they cultivate.

Perhaps there is only one answer, that is, these people really practice internal strength day and night.

They were cultivating when Young Master Hua was taking a bath, they were cultivating when Young Master Hua was listening to music and appreciating flowers, and they were cultivating when Young Master Hua was shopping with his sister-in-law.

In short, it's just constantly cultivating.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to go that far in the realm.

Hua Duxiu's old face darkened, and his heart was anti-human, completely anti-human!

Every day is cultivation, what is the meaning of living?

Don't forget your original intention, everyone, and discover the beauty of life, isn't it? Have you forgotten what martial arts training is for?

Why do you have to keep cultivating all the time, you can't stop and wait for me?

Let's talk about the technical aspect.

The two new stunts of "Infinite Shock" and "Multiple Slams" have begun to take shape.

In terms of strength, Bao Yibao is not much worse than Hua Duxiu, and he has been "experienced in a hundred battles" in the face of new tricks, but no matter how he defends and dodges, he will eventually "die" under Hua Duxiu's thunderous sword.

In the next two months, Hua Duxiu only needs to consolidate the results of his cultivation at night through the accumulation of internal force during the day, as long as the realm of internal force can go to a higher level, "infinite shock" and "multiple slams" can be advanced again.

In terms of practical skills, he has been polished very well.

On the other hand, the Demon Flow Body Method was further integrated into his every movement and line, and every move and style was natural, and the internal force consumed was greatly reduced.

Before, it was only the entry realm "Lost Trace: Nine Heavens" integrated into his body, but as he ran wild at night this month, the Xiaocheng realm "Instantaneous Trace: Wind Remnant" gradually merged with himself.

There is no need to deliberately use it, and moving with you is the ultimate speed that can only be achieved by the "Instantaneous Wind Remnant" back then - in an instant, you can only see the wind, but you can't see anyone.

Hua Duxiu even has an intuition that when one day in the future, when his strength will improve again, and the Dacheng realm "Extinction Rain Weeping", or even the Dacheng realm "Demon Flow Remnants Relying on the Wind Alone" can be integrated into his body, perhaps, there will be some unpredictable new changes.

When the "Demon Flow Remnant is used by the wind alone", everything around him will come to a near standstill, and time will slow down infinitely, and the user himself will not be affected by this change, as long as his eyes can keep up, and his skills can keep up, he will be equivalent to doing whatever he wants to do when everyone is stagnant.

What a huge advantage!

Hua Duxiu's eyesight has been improved, but her physical fitness has not kept up.

Even if he practiced hard for a month and his body skills improved again, he still didn't improve to the extent that his current eyesight matched.

Perhaps, is it the stagnation of the realm that has dragged down the improvement of physical functions?

On the table, Hua Duxiu has made rapid progress in a month's time, and his achievements are remarkable, and there are still two months to go, if the great realm can go one step further and enter the seventh-level combat power, Hua Duxiu is confident that all the power of his killing moves can be improved again.

Under the table, Hua Duxiu fell into a slightly confused contemplation.

For various reasons, he was struck by lightning twice in three days.

As long as it wasn't the kind of devastating lightning that had been brewing for a long time and was incredibly powerful, and the thunder and lightning of ordinary power slashed down, he actually had a lot of resistance.

That is to say, ordinary lightning not only can't kill him, but it is difficult to even burn and seriously injure, and he can only be numb and dizzy with electricity, but if the cold wind blows slightly, he can recover his full state in a while.

This is a new change.

Immunity to the lightning of the supernatural world?

I can't really tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

But one thing is good, and that is that his ability to protect the remnant sprouts has improved.

Moreover, after a month of warmth and cultivation, the remnant soul shoots completely got rid of the weak form that they were weak and would revert back to a faint green light at any time.

Although it is still a small sprout like a toothpick, after a month of blood watering and spiritual transformation, this sprout is becoming more and more watery and crystalline, like a jadeite carved ornament.

It's just that I don't know how long it will take for it to have new changes, and what kind of conditions are needed for the so-called "resurrection" of the predecessors.

After all, Hua Duxiu's understanding of demonic qi is still on the surface, and the use of demonic qi is only limited to the "blood refining technique", and he can't give himself an answer.

It can only be said that if you continue to cultivate it like this, the remnant soul shoots will become stronger and stronger, and the vitality contained in them will become more and more vigorous, at least the direction is not wrong.

Let's do it like this first.

Hua Duxiu's cultivation progressed steadily, while another retreat cultivator was not as lucky as him.

Ding Qiqi.

Hua Duxiu is hiding in the barracks, while Ding Qiqi is hiding in the bathing center. That's right, to put it completely, she is hiding in the "one-stop health care and entertainment health club in heaven and earth".

The bathing center can be said to be located in a prime area, absolutely downtown, and this kind of place itself is a mixed bag, which is extremely unsafe. But the small courtyard where Ding Qiqi is located is quiet in the middle of noisy, rare tranquility.

There is no way, anyone who sees the dense guard warriors outside the courtyard knows that the people living here are not trivial, and they must not be provoked.

Thinking of the deep background of the bathing center, the small courtyard has become a "forbidden area" known to most regular customers, and it is a place that must not be approached. Who would have thought that in the huge courtyard, layer by layer, in fact, there is only one fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl living in it?

As for cultivation, others are moving forward from the ladder, but Ding Qiqi's cultivation process is extremely restless and fluctuates greatly.

Strictly speaking, she wasn't cultivating.

She is absorbing the massive amount of vitality left in her body by Chang Chun Zun, and then repairing the dark wounds in her body, improving her body functions, and the whole person is uncontrollably brave and refined.

The complete vitality of Tianzun's power is huge, and how quintessential it is, but Changchun Zun's five elements attribute is "wood", and Ding Qiqi is "fire", wood makes fire, I don't know if it's providence or what, this piece of wood is too capable of burning, too resistant to burning, and Ding Qiqi, who burns directly, can't suppress this surging fire, and the state changes again and again.

Even, what she is thinking about now is not how to improve her strength, but how to suppress the improvement of her strength.

The fire is too strong, and if it burns uncontrollably, it will cause fatal damage to Ding Qiqi's foundation.

Even though she was able to use the massive vitality of Changchun Venerable to improve her realm, the consequence of doing so was to reach the top in one step, and breaking the foundation was equivalent to completely sealing herself from the possibility of further growth.

That's what happened to the so-called overreach.

Ding Qiqi gritted his teeth, fighting against the infinitely rising evil fire in his body day and night for a month.

Let this flame that burns Changchun vitality surrender to oneself, obey one's orders, suppress it, absorb it completely, obtain its energy, and not be overturned by its own foundation.

It's too hard.

There are often rolling hot currents in the sky above Ding Qiqi's small courtyard, and when it is cloudy and rainy, these hot currents can even break away the black clouds and dry the drizzle.

The rain poured heavily in the Broken Demon City, but there was no rain in the sky above the bathing center, which became a vision that the Broken Demon City had never had.

Of course, heat flow is difficult to tell with the naked eye alone.

But the scale of this heat flow is too large, and when it is extremely powerful, it can even envelop a small half of the Broken Demon City, and the blind can see the abnormality, but most people don't know what its source is.

Ordinary people only know that it is winter, but in the "Heaven and Earth One-stop Health Care and Entertainment Health Club", here is spring, and even sometimes summer, not to mention cold, it is still hot if you wear a little more!

Ordinary people can't understand it, but those who have seen extraordinary knowledge know that this is not a natural vision.

It must be that there is a super master with strange power hidden in the bathing center, this master doesn't know what evil skills he is cultivating, and even the weather and weather have changed, which is terrifying.

Ding Qiqi was doing penance, and the brothers Shen Lijia and Lu Ziye were not idle.

If you want to find and bring back Hua Duxiu, the most feasible way at present is to send an army to the sea with the Governor's Mansion of the Trapped Demon Valley and find Hua Duxiu in the army.

And then find a way to come back together.

Once you go to sea, you can't help yourself, and you can't really get involved in that shocking war.

Even if you can't do your job, you can't help but charge into battle and hide behind people, you really have to have enough self-protection power against the rebels, because Shen Lijia and Lu Ziye have been practicing their skills day and night after getting the quota for joining the army.

Several governors of the empire who received requisition orders trained their troops in an orderly manner.

All kinds of baggage, materials, people, and even warships and seafarers who went to sea continued to flock to the west coast of Mobei from all directions.

In the vast woods of the west coast, the already huge barracks were once again expanded, and rows of barracks rose from the ground, stretching for dozens of miles from north to south, completely turning into a large construction site.

The clouds of war began to loom over the skies of the Empire......
