Chapter 253: Tempering
Wearing a black vest, his strong muscles kept sweating, Xing Zeyuan squatted, his thighs parallel to the ground. A log rests horizontally on his outstretched arm, carrying a heavy stone on his back. Sweat snaked from his forehead to his face like a twisted insect, Xing Zeyuan's resolute face was facing the corner of the wall, and the corners of his closed eyes occasionally trembled.
Xing Zeyuan has a good memory, and he remembers the appearance of each opponent's move in the past three years. Although the star gods are strong, they are all based on the body, so the body is still the first priority, of course, this conclusion is only used by the war master.
Xing Zeyuan's eyes slowly opened, and a light of the star cluster floated around him, like colored steam. Finally, the orange light gathered in Xing Zeyuan's chest, like thousands of rivers with different starting points merging into the sea in one place. The condensed vapor dissolves into a small star cluster, giving Xing Zeyuan abundant power.
Grabbing the log with one hand, he turns and flips in the air.
Bang!
The log was facing downwards and slammed into the ground, raising yellow dust.
The five people who were still cultivating on the side were all surprised, and Mo, who had just been promoted, was both bitter and happy.
"I thought I had caught up with the regiment leader, but I was pulled away again!"
"Xiaoxing is getting stronger and stronger!"
When Ganso said, he asked Luo Tian:
"Can I practice?"
Rubbing his hands, he thought for a moment.
"It's supposed to be tomorrow, you try it first. β
Ganso stretches his arms, expands his chest and bends down to press his legs. After completing a set of warm-up movements, Gan Suo touched his chest.
"Does it hurt?"
"It's all right!"
"Exercise properly, don't be too aggressive!"
"Good!"
Ganso pulled out the slash and flipped it to release a snort.
Ganso, who hadn't drawn his sword for a long time, kept swinging his knife in five directions: straight slash, side slash, and downward slash. Xiaoxing caught up, and a small star cluster from the very beginning caught up with him, even if his talent was different, he had to improve his strength to a star god before the competition.
"Start our tempering!"
Xing Zeyuan stepped aside, tore off a towel from the wooden frame and wiped his sweat. The five men are all practicing, but he started to rest in advance, and today's training amount has reached the standard, and he will exercise again after a while.
"Captain, when are you going to challenge the superstar mercenary group?"
"I was going to wait for Brother Ganso, but now he is just injured, let's go a few days, it just so happens that everyone has been practicing hard in the past few days!"
"Good!"
Fan Ao's eyes and Xing Zeyuan looked at Gan Suo together, this gray-haired back looked old, in fact, he was still quite young, he could still urge the sword, as long as the body and spirit were there, he could help Xing Zeyuan achieve what he wanted to do.
The compound is not big, but there are a lot of rooms. Five people stood in the courtyard and practiced, and one of them jumped against the wall.
"Come on!"
Qian Ling smiled, and immediately jumped to Xing Zeyuan's side.
"Everybody is in good shape. β
"Thanks to that pill, everyone is getting better quickly. β
Xing Zeyuan sat with Qian Ling, and the latter said:
"Do you need anything for tomorrow's luncheon?"
Yan Shuang, who had always wanted to invite the red shield to a banquet, waited for a few days and was a little impatient, so he set the day of Gansuo's injury as a luncheon. Tomorrow at noon at the "Huangri Hotel" in the Great Mercenary City, there is a feast waiting for them.
In fact, Qian Ling is not the kind of person who is restrained, but Yan Shuang is the general of Yan State, and they have to pay attention to it. Xing Zeyuan thought for a while and said:
"I've brought all the dresses to the banquet, so let's act when the time comes!"
"Not nervous this time?"
"I've seen a lot, so I know how to face it!"
Ganso was sweating profusely, and it took some time for his rusty body to regain its agility. Luo Tian carried the young dragon on his back and pounded the squat, and all the exercises of Bining were the same as Mo, but they were a little less than him, and he was not a real fighter after all.
"I continued! β
Xing Zeyuan twisted his neck, and while the sweat was not dry, he continued to start his own cultivation.
The cultivation promotion of the Immortal Music Master and the Star Priest lies in the perception, which is different from the Battle Master, but Duan Qin and Xiao Fu are not idle, especially the latter, she has been studying the starry sky. Sometimes pointing to the sky, the little symbol can feel its own star clusters.
When Xing Zeyuan was promoted and became a powerhouse with two big and two small, Xiao Fu also jumped from two big and one small to two big and two small. Each time you raise a star cluster, the next promotion will be more difficult, but talent often shows up in difficult times, and the strength of their team is increasing at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
The quenching and hammering of the sharp sword is much more violent than that of the ordinary iron sword broadsword, and it is precisely because the quenching is strong enough that the sword is hard enough, and the hammering of all kinds of training produces steel without impurities.
The Red Shield Mercenary Regiment has been training desperately and does not dare to stop at all, because all the dreams and everything they want to have have to work their own.
Sitting in the living room, she was lying on the table, her ears were in close contact with the slightly cooler tabletop, and a whirling sound broke into her brain, and the slender fingers tapped on the tabletop to hear a louder sound. She thought it was fun, like grabbing a pencil and shaking it like a wave.
The innocent girl and the growing boy are about to experience a ripple of fate, but all experiences are unknown, and if you can't predict tomorrow, you can only take today's path.
Small talisman divination, corresponding to the heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, Ze Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui are not corresponding, there is no murder and no auspicious omen.
Following
The sky was clear, the sky was cloudless, and the ten people of the red shield stepped on the noble carriage, and galloped towards the "Huangri Hotel" under the envious eyes of everyone who saw it, which is the most luxurious hotel in the Great Mercenary City, and the higher the mercenary level, the more discounts they get here.
Countless people have joined the mercenaries, and the era of the birth of the Neutron Star Mercenary Group - the King Mercenary Group is called the era of the great mercenaries, and now the mercenary world is in its heyday, and in the entire Great Mercenary City, the mercenaries are treated no worse than any rich people by virtue of their status. Perhaps, this is its greatest attraction, it really speaks with its fists, it is simple, straightforward, and free from the distortion and money transactions of the world government.
Many people like it, and many people hate it! They all say that mercenaries are turning the times backwards, but mercenaries don't think so.
The Royal Day Hotel is on the side of the huge intersection, and the four directions of the intersection are the headquarters of the Mercenary House, the first auction of the Great Mercenary City, the Royal Day Hotel and the huge business district. The nineteen-storey mercenary's house is as grand as the huge gladiatorial arena behind it, like the gold-clad faΓ§ade of the Royal Day Hotel.
This is definitely the most luxurious place that the Red Shield Mercenary Group has entered since its formation, Xiao Fu and Duan Qin don't feel anything, but everyone is different. Their background and family made them daunting at the door of the hotel, Xing Zeyuan looked at the dazzling golden faΓ§ade, and couldn't help but feel numb, what a luxury!
Ganso is calm on the outside, but he is flustered on the inside, and the more he goes to a noble place, the more he discovers his humility.
Qian Ling exhaled, it was a little interesting!
Luo Tian, who had never even entered the main hall of the Senyun branch of the Emperor Clan, couldn't help but marvel when he saw the nearly 100-meter-high building, he rubbed his hands, he couldn't be ashamed for a while.
The big old man was a little confused, the house he lived in the most was a grass hut, the most things he ate were wild vegetables, and in the twenty years before entering the red shield, he made a living by hunting with bows and arrows. This kind of hotel that nobles come to, he has only seen in his dreams.
Mo is not bad, although he has never been to such a luxurious place, but he has been to many big places since he was a child, and he is not panicked now.
Fan Ao stood beside Poor Ling, and in the golden light, she seemed to be the queen he had chosen.
"Wow, that's big!"
Everyone who stopped at the door couldn't help but tidy up their clothes, and then walked towards the hotel, Youyou and Xing Zeyuan stood together, Gan Suo, Luo Tian, Pi Ning and Mo on the left, and Duan Qin, Xiao Fu, Fan Ao and Qian Ling on the right. This is the formation they had lined up a long time ago, and as soon as they entered the hotel, they were struck by the atmosphere inside.
The large hall was like a church, and the number of people in it was still small, except for a few men in tuxedos and maids' costumes. There is the fragrance of flowers everywhere, as well as the faint mellow smell of fine wine, and Yan Shuang and the three of them are also wearing black formal clothes today, looking energetic.
Yan Shuang looked at the watch in his hand.
"It's so punctual, eleven fifteen!"
"When the seniors meet, they will not be delayed!"
They agreed on eleven twenty, and it was a courtesy to come in advance.
"Come, sit down, guys!"
Ten meters long white cloth tables are placed on silver cutlery, everything in this hotel is retro, and they eat in the center of the hall on the first floor, like the protagonist here, and everyone else is set off by the bright fluorescence of the bright moon.
"General, you are a senior, and you are appointed by His Majesty, please sit at the table. β
After Duan Qin said, Yan Shuang generously sat in the main seat. Directly opposite him to the left and right are Xiao Fu and Duan Qin, and then Xing Zeyuan is Youyouyou, below him are Gan Suo and Luo Tian, Bining and Mo, Fan Ao and Qian Ling, and the last two seats are Yan Shuang's two soldiers.
"Let's talk while we eat?"
Yan Shuang talked and laughed to a certain extent, Duan Qin and Xiao Fu said yes, the former called an elegant waiter, and said in a slightly louder voice:
"Let's serve!"
"Yes, sir!"
The whole restaurant is quiet, and there is an oppressive atmosphere at all times.
"Why don't you speak?"
Xiao Fu smiled:
"Of course, wait for the general to say it first!"
"It's all my own family, and it's not to meet Your Majesty, so you don't need to be so serious. β
Everyone was smiling, and they didn't know what to do except this action.
"You're sweating!"
Poor Ling handed a tissue to the guard beside him, he smiled awkwardly and said:
"A little nervous!"
"Nervous?"
"You are friends of the Red Shield Mercenary Regiment, His Royal Highness Xiao Fu and Miss Duan Qin, we are afraid that we will not be well entertained!"
"Actually, we are also nervous because of our disparity!"
Poor Ling smiled, and the waiter came to pour the wine. There are many noble places, and they will also carry a temperament that is not shocked, if self-cultivation is a kind of tempering, then this is also!
"Huh?"
Yan Shuang's subordinate was a veteran, who looked to be about thirty years old. When Poor Ling said that there was a disparity in status, the veteran said politely:
"You are humble, His Royal Highness Xiao Fu and Miss Duan Qin's companions will not be ordinary!"
Qian Ling smiled, these people are really interesting.
"Brother Ganso, how are your injuries?"
After a pause, Ganso organized the language and said:
"The injury has healed, thank you for your concern!"
"It's good to be polite, but don't be too inhibited!"
Yan Shuang said:
"In terms of seniority, I am the uncle of His Royal Highness Xiao Fu and Miss Duan Qin, in addition to Brother Gansuo, I am also your senior. β
Ganso's face was bitter, he was almost forty!
Xing Zeyuan glanced at Youyou on the opposite side, she looked around, was she looking to see when the food would be served?
"Captain Xing Zeyuan, when are you going to challenge the superstar mercenary group?"
"It's been a few days. β
"I heard that twenty-three mercenary groups will be selected in June to participate in next year's competition?"
"That's right, Senpai. It's mid-April, and we're going to challenge a mercenary group as soon as possible, and then we'll be competing in next year's competition as a result. β
"I'll cheer you on then!"
"Thank you, senior!"
The efficiency of the Huangri Hotel is very high, and after a while, thirteen lunches will be served, but they are steaks and noodles.
"We Yan people say that we follow the local customs, and everyone enjoys them. β
"Thank you, seniors. β
After everyone was done, we shared lunch together. Qian Ling ate little, and after eating, he watched Fan Ao eat, and finally blushed embarrassed when he saw her.
Xiao Fu held a knife and fork, and each knife cut just enough meat for a bite. She and General Yan Shuang talked and laughed, the latter watched her grow up, and said that she hadn't seen her for three years, and Xiao Fu had become a big girl!
(Sick, uncomfortable, update!)
