A year later.

The weather in July is summer, the sun is shining on the earth, the entire Dayan City is shrouded in a stuffy heat, but the Tang family, Tang Yan's small courtyard seems to be another space, and it is cool when you enter the courtyard.

In a year, her small yard can be described as a huge change, the original green yard, now the vegetation is luxuriant, the vines climbing the vine pergola exaggeratedly extended, and a wall-climbing plant together with almost the entire small yard, in addition, the original two small pear trees in the corner of the wall are now amazing, July is not the harvest season for fruit trees, but the pear trees have been hung with heavy ripe pears as early as three months ago, and there is no landing and rotting in March.

A half-grown boy sat cross-legged on the bluestone floor in the courtyard, and at the white stone table not far from him, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy and girl quietly sipped tea, looking at the so-called 'cultivation' of the little boy in the courtyard by the way.

After a long time, the little boy opened his eyes, got up from the ground neatly, and quietly walked to the stone table and stood still, "Master." ”

"Do you feel it?" Tang Yan asked lightly.

Tang Sheng looked at the girl in a light blue dress in front of him, she was elegant, quiet and beautiful, and she also had an extraordinary temperament, this girl who was not a few years older than himself was his master, looking at her, he had a lot of thoughts.

After coming to Tang's house for a year, he is no longer the stupid child who didn't know anything at the beginning, ten years old, the first nine years of his life was spent in a mess, only one year, and now he has changed a lot from a year ago! A year of seeing, hearing and learning, filled the emptiness of his nine years, in addition, the strange movements taught by the master have now given him a light body, agile skills, and at the age of ten, he can rely on close attacks and even fight with junior martial artists.

Thinking back to Master's question, Tang Sheng shook his head, "Not yet." ”

These days, Master asked him to meditate every day to comprehend the aura of heaven and earth, but as a result, there was no progress.

Tang Yan frowned slightly, "Isn't my guess wrong?" ”

In this year's time, her progress in the control of spiritual power can be said to have progressed by leaps and bounds! In addition to using spiritual power to develop a lot of elixirs, she also conceived and experimented a lot of spiritual power moves, analyzing spiritual power from the root, in fact, spiritual power is everywhere in this world, and the reason why she has this ability to operate spiritual power is not for nothing. While she was improving her strength and studying spiritual power, she discovered something that no one had ever paid attention to - soul power.

People are born with soul power, but the soul power is very weak, and the cultivation of martial arts is increasing in strength at the same time, the soul power is also increasing, the stronger the soul power, the longer the life expectancy, so there is a situation where the martial artist prolongs his life for decades, the martial king is hundreds of years, and the life of the martial emperor and martial emperor is even longer.

Master Disheng Wuzun had the ability to control spiritual power when he broke through to Wuzun, that is to say, his soul power has reached the bottom line of controlling spiritual power, and her strength is not Wuzun, but she can also control spiritual power, for this reason, she only thought of one, her own crossing.

Reincarnated as a human being, the soul power may have changed because of this, and it is certain that it will become stronger, but whether it has reached the master's level, she does not know, because it cannot be measured, and it cannot be compared, but it is certain that her situation is special.

From the gradual analysis of soul power, she had another idea, since soul power gradually became stronger after acquisition, if she focused on cultivating soul power, would she be able to control spiritual power faster than gradually cultivating martial arts? She didn't know how to improve her soul power, but it was okay to make some other attempts, such as feeling the existence of heaven and earth aura first.

In addition to the tricks of martial cultivation, the internal strength is to introduce qi into the body, these qi are the aura of heaven and earth in the air, but it is relatively messy and impure, so the effect is slow, and the existence of spirit stones is the fastest way for people to absorb pure spiritual power as soon as possible to improve their cultivation, Tang Yan does not need spirit stones, because she can use the pure spiritual power between heaven and earth all the time.

The half jade piece on her body gathered the spiritual power around her, and the entire small courtyard was overflowing with spiritual energy, so all the plants underwent tremendous changes under the catalysis of spiritual power.

And she was purifying the spiritual energy, surrounding her apprentice's body, and letting him sit quietly to understand, she could feel that the spiritual power in the apprentice's body was increasing, but it was his martial arts level that was improved.

Three months ago, when Tang Sheng was conducting this experiment, he began to learn martial arts, and in three months, the huge amount of pure spiritual power allowed him to go from beginner to the level of a fifth-level warrior, which is something that ordinary martial arts cultivation takes several years to do, but in the small courtyard of the Tang family, there was a 'miracle'. This kind of 'rapid' way of increasing strength is absolutely appalling if it is placed outside! But when the only onlooker, Bear, witnessed it with his own eyes, he was amazed, but he also believed what he saw.

"Forget it, although there is no progress in the spiritual power, but your strength has improved, so continue tomorrow." Tang Yan said helplessly.

Her helplessness was speechless in Xiong's eyes, a ten-year-old fifth-level warrior, and his overall strength could fight with a junior martial artist, with such a genius as an apprentice, what was there not to be satisfied with? Moreover, Tang Yan herself is only fourteen years old.

Tang Yan turned her head to look at the bear, "I had a dream last night. ”

"What?" Xiong was stunned, and his puzzled expression did not understand what she meant.

Staring at the bear's eyes, Tang Yan's expression was serious for a moment, "I know who you are." ”

Who is Xiong and why he is willing to stay by his side and be willing to do anything for himself like a servant, this is a question that Tang Yan has been thinking about, although she knows that he is one of the children who was trapped in the hands of human traffickers with her nine years ago, but which child is it, there were too many children at that time, and she can't pay attention to them all, but now, she can be sure of his identity.

"The kid who was almost killed at that time was you." Tang Yan said affirmatively, not surprisingly, she saw a trace of pain and panic in the bear's eyes.

"You... How do you know? During the inquiry, Xiong's expression dissipated panic, and he was a little happy, and some expectation, he had been with her for a whole year, and she finally found out who she was, she was right, he was the one who was almost annoyed and beaten to death, but he was lucky to meet her, she fed herself medicine, and she saved his life.

Tang Yan shrugged her shoulders casually, "I said it, I dreamed of it." She smiled and replied vaguely, but in fact she didn't want to say that she had seen him a few days ago with typhoid fever, and the whip marks all over his body looked a little scary, and he had these injuries on his body, and she only thought of one person among those children.

"You seem to have had a bad time all these years." Tang Yan took a bite to decide, "You are very powerful now, but the strength of your strength is in contrast to how much you have paid, so you must have suffered a lot over the years." ”

Xiong didn't deny it, nodding his head without saying a word.

Tang Yan continued, "I entrusted you to that person at the beginning... Lingling, what happened later? What happened? ”

Ling Ling was the only little girl who had no fear of Tang Yan at the beginning, and her courage made Tang Yan look at her differently, so she remembered the name.

Xiong has always been silent, but to Tang Yan, at least he will answer the necessary questions one by one.

"She took care of me for a few days after you left, and then she was taken away."

"What about you?" Tang Yan was slightly surprised, in a few days, I'm afraid that the little boy who only had half a breath left at the beginning was only in better spirits, but he was absolutely incapacitated, how did he survive at the beginning?

"After she was taken away, I was picked up too, and that person ...... Observed me in the dark for at least three days. ”

"So someone has been eyeing you for a long time?" Tang Yan really couldn't imagine that someone would stare at a seriously injured child for several days.

"Well, that man...... Teach me to kill. Xiong only used one sentence to skip all the hardships in between, he didn't want to say too much, maybe the process was too cruel, it was an unbearable past, or ...... He didn't want Tang Yan to hear it, and he felt distressed by his tragic experience.

"Alas~~" Tang Yan sighed when she heard this, she could understand his feelings, from an ordinary person to an excellent killer, she herself would probably know more than Xiong. At the beginning, she participated in devil training, survived, repeated missions, and survived, and finally she became the captain of the organization, and countless life and death dangers made her see the good and evil of this world too thoroughly.

"The past is gone, people have to look forward, and the days to come will always get better and better." Tang Yan looked at the bear with a slight smile.

Xiong was stunned again, looking at Tang Yan in surprise, he didn't expect her to be so open to the future, he could feel that this girl who had been following him for a year, I am afraid that there are more stories in her than himself! But she smiled slightly, looking at the clouds, how could this kind of bearing be ignored?

Tang Yan didn't persuade any more, took out the medicine she had prepared from her cuffs and put it on the table, a palm-sized green porcelain bottle, which looked inconspicuous, she raised her head and looked at the bear, "The marks on your body should still be there, take it and wipe it, this thing has a good effect on removing scars, although the scars on your body have been more than ten years, but if you rub it regularly for a year and a half, there will definitely be a day when it will be completely eliminated." "She's very confident in her own medicine.

"No need." Xiong shook his head slightly, "I want to keep them, just as... Let's commemorate some of the past. ”

"Poof...... What is there to commemorate being beaten so badly? If it were me, I wouldn't want to leave those ugly scars that would look like they would hurt. While laughing, Tang Yan pushed the medicine bottle forward, but Kexiong still didn't intend to accept it and shook his head again.

What Tang Yan didn't know was that what he wanted to commemorate was her life-saving grace.
