Chapter 7: The Heart of the Ape and the Horse

Shi Xuan ran all the way back to his residence, feeling a little flustered, when he was practicing today, a bloodthirsty impulse suddenly appeared in his body, although he forcibly suppressed it, he almost caused Yuan Caiwei to be seriously injured, which made him very worried, although it was not strange that there would be some accidents when cultivating spiritual skills, especially beginners, but at that time Shi Xuan clearly felt that the bloodthirsty impulse came from his own blood.

"Could it be due to the third-order spirit beast essence blood I absorbed by cultivating the Divine Dragon Palace, or is it something else?" Shi Xuan was puzzled.

The next day, he found Su Li and told her what happened when he was cultivating spiritual skills, hoping that Su Li could find out the reason for him.

Su Li also felt strange, she carefully checked the blood fluctuations when Shi Xuan was running the Xuanhuo Spirit Technique, it was indeed different from what was described in the spiritual technique, but there was no such strong bloodthirsty urge to finish it today.

"I'm not sure either, but it's very likely that this is a talent inherited by your own bloodline, although it is said that the power of our human race is relatively fragile among all the races in the world, but occasionally some strange talents will be born, some strong and some weak, some good and some bad, when you cultivate in the future, you must always be vigilant, pay attention to your own condition, and avoid being controlled by the demons", Su Li warned Shi Xuan.

"Thank you, master, I will remember".

Shi Xuan bid farewell to Su Li and was about to return to his residence, when he was halfway there, a smart figure appeared in his field of vision. Yuan Caiwei changed her clothes at the moment, she looked particularly delicate, and the figure of the delicate class made countless teenagers feel excited, even Shi Xuan was fascinated.

Seeing Yuan Caiwei coming, Shi Xuan was a little unnatural, especially what happened last night made him ashamed. "Senior sister, morning!" Shi Xuan greeted awkwardly, in fact, it was already close to noon.

Looking at the flustered Shi Xuan, Yuan Caiwei smiled slightly, "It's still early to eat lunch later."

Shi Xuan could only smile lightly.

"When I saw you cultivating yesterday, my eyes were blurry, was there something wrong in my practice, and I must remember that there are distracting thoughts in my heart during my practice, otherwise I will go crazy if I am not careful", Yuan Caiwei was concerned.

"Today I have asked Master Su Li to help me check, it is fine, as long as you are careful in the future, thank you for your concern. I am really ashamed to accidentally hurt my senior sister last night, I will definitely help you forge the spiritual weapon you need, as a way to make up for my recklessness", Shi Xuan apologized again.

"Okay, I deliberately teased you last night, and I didn't say that you must compensate me for one more spiritual weapon. At this stage, the contribution value of a spiritual weapon is too stressful, and in the future, if you have the heart and the contribution value is rich, you can help me forge one. ”

"Thank you for your tolerance."

Yuan Caiwei and Shi Xuan walked all the way along the turbulent bank of the Jia River, chatting and chatting while walking.

"Why do you say this Jiahe water looks so dark red, and where did it come from?" Shi Xuan asked.

"There are too many stories about the Jiahe River, there are rumors that this river was not like this thousands of years ago, the water color of the Jiahe River at that time was very high, the water was rich in rich aura, and some people even said that the Hongyan Ridge at that time had not formed such a red land as it is today, at that time the green mountains were surrounded, the green water flowed for a long time, and it was extremely brilliant here, but I don't know what great changes have happened in thousands of years, resulting in the desolation and dilapidation of the Chidi here for thousands of miles, and the volcano is often erupted, threatening Jiahe City at all times. Obviously, Yuan Caiwei knows a lot.

"What terrible catastrophe happened in that era to cause such a great change?" Shi Xuan felt terrible.

"Some people say it's a natural disaster, some people say it's a man-made disaster, that era is too far away, it has long been buried in history, and it is estimated that few people know about it. ”

"How many secrets are buried in this world, thousands of years ago, the history seems to have had a major fault, nothing can be found, I have been in the library for a long time before and I have not found the reason," Shi Xuan said.

"Why bother so much, we just need to live up to this life and this world, and let him be buried in the dust in the past," Yuan Caiwei said.

"But I'm always a little unsure in my heart, now the world is undergoing great changes, some people are rumored that the world is recovering, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse", Shi Xuan has been worried recently.

"Isn't it great that the aura has become abundant and more suitable for cultivators' cultivation?" asked Yuan Caiwei.

"That being said, this will also lead to great changes in the whole world, countless new people will rise, how difficult will the road ahead be, and how many people will be able to go to the end?"

"Maybe this is the fate of our cultivators, so who knows what the future holds?"

"Maybe, as long as we work hard, what regrets do we have?"

"Shi Xuan, what are your expectations for the future?" Yuan Caiwei asked.

"I just want to protect my family from harm, as long as they can live happily, and I have no regrets for myself", Shi Xuan thought seriously.

"Yes, in this unfair world, it is indeed the idea of too many people to live a peaceful life, but this dream is unattainable", Yuan Caiwei sighed.

"What about you, what are your plans for the future?" Shi Xuan looked at Yuan Caiwei.

"After the study of Tianhaiyuan, I want to leave Jiahe City, leave Hongyanling, and travel to the mainland, I want to see the outside world, and I don't want to be trapped in this small Jiahe City for the rest of my life", Yuan Caiwei imagined.

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying anything else, and they slowly appreciated the magnificent Jia River, watching it flow to the distant continent, and their hearts probably flowed into the distance......

At noon, Shi Xuan invited Yuan Caiwei to a meal to express his gratitude, and Shi Xuan also promised to give her a spiritual weapon if she had enough contribution value in the future.

In this youthful grade, the friendships born are often unforgettable, and they are also the most innocent feelings, even after many years, he looks back on the present and misses it very much.

Time flies like a white horse, most of the year has passed in a blink of an eye, Shi Xuan has gradually integrated into the life here, for such a long time, his progress has been rapid, his foundation is solid, and he goes back and forth every day in the process of practice, forging and realization, here he has met many senior brothers, most of them have found Shi Xuan to help forge spiritual weapons, and now Shi Xuan's forging technique has vaguely reached a relatively high level in this level.

The first-order spirit weapons he sold have become sought-after goods here, he is not as strange as Lin Song, as long as the price is about the same, he is never picky, which also leads to many people being more willing to find him to forge spirit weapons.

Looking at Shi Xuan's tremendous progress over the past few days, Zhong Wei also felt the terrible nature of young people, which reminded him that when he was young, he also worked so hard, but at that time, the aura between heaven and earth was depleted greatly, and he lasted for a long time in this realm before he was able to break through, he hated himself a little for being born in the wrong era, otherwise with his talent, he would definitely not be able to succumb to the small Jiahe City, there must be a place for him on the mainland, but it was a pity that he was buried in that sad world, and now he seems to see hope again in this young man.

These days, Zhong Wei can be said to be able to teach Shi Xuan with all his might, Shi Xuan can be said to have reached the point of perfection at this level, he is firmly familiar with the major steps of spiritual forging, the design of the spiritual weapon is exquisite, and the creation is even more handy, and the success rate is so high that he is embarrassed as an old man, and he cannot reach this level at this stage.

With Shi Xuan as his assistant, he feels very comfortable forging spiritual weapons these days, and some complicated work has quickly become organized and clear when it comes to Shi Xuan's hands, which saves him a lot of worry.

At the same time, his aura cultivation grew rapidly, and in the past few months, he had opened up five major acupoints in his arms before and after, and had successfully advanced to the fifth order of the Kaiyuan Realm, which was already a leader for many disciples who had entered Tianhai Yuan this year.

With the improvement of strength, he haunts the martial arts arena all the year round, accepts the challenge of many brothers and sisters, from the beginning of the victory and defeat, to the current long-term victory master, for a time in the Kaiyuan Realm list stirred up countless storms, become Tianhaiyuan everyone knows the existence, every time he fights has gained huge attention, and some people even opened a multiplier to pressure his wins and losses, for which Liu Ming and Song Renjie, who firmly supported him, made a lot of money.

"This guy is too perverted, you must know that it is Chen Guang, who is ranked tenth, three realms higher than him, and he was actually beaten like this", said a person watching the battle.

"That's his bad luck, who let him be provoked by Lin Song to make things difficult for Shi Xuan, this time he suffered," said the other person.

At this moment, a guy who was burned to the outside and tender on the martial arts arena was carried away by his companions, and he was in a deep coma at the moment and didn't know if he could wake up. At this time, there were also many people cheering, they successfully suppressed Shi Xuan's victory, and made a lot of money for it.

Shi Xuan jumped off the stage and greeted his friends. At this moment, Shi Xuan's body was sturdy, his aura was extraordinary, and an invincible momentum spread out between his walks, which made the few remaining people on the top of the ranking feel tremendous pressure.

"Don't be arrogant, Senior Brother Lin Song will avenge Chen Guang, yours has been chatting for a few days", one of Lin Song's followers viciously warned Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan didn't care: "Sooner or later, I will personally make a break with him."

Although Shi Xuan made rapid progress, after all, he practiced one year less than Lin Song, and at this moment, Lin Song had already reached the ninth order, and he was ranked from fifth to third, because of his brother's affairs, he was obsessed with it, and it was bound to make Shi Xuan pay a heavy price. Shi Xuan successfully crossed the ranks many times to defeat his opponent, which made him uneasy.

"If Senior Sister Yuan hadn't gone out to practice, I would have been very happy to see your rapid progress," Liu Ming said.

Thinking of that playful and cute girl, Shi Xuan also lost her mind for a while, she had been gone for a few days.

"You can't be careless, now Lin Song is about to sit still, I have to break through as soon as possible, otherwise, I am not sure if I really have to face him", Shi Xuan said. The further back the realm, there is a gap in each order, and it is even more difficult to overcome it if you want to cross the level.

After more than half a year of cultivation, his Xuanhuo Spiritual Technique is only one chapter away from being able to comprehend it all, and now his Spiritual Fire Control Ability has improved rapidly, from the beginning he could only rub a few large fireballs to now be able to form a sea of fire, and his spiritual power is several times stronger.

The Dragon's Majesty has now become his signature defensive skill, challenging high-level opponents several times, directly ignoring other people's attacks, forcibly breaking through in front of others, and relying on powerful melee combat to catch opponents off guard.

His rapid growth has already attracted the attention of the Academy, and he is qualified to become a seed player of the Academy and become a key training target.

If the academy wants to gain a foothold in a place for a long time, it must cultivate decent apprentices, only in this way can we continue to get enough apprentices from this area every year, although Jiahe City is a corner of the country, but it does affect the entire Hongyanling region, there are no less than ten large and small academies here, the competition can not be small, several in order to compete for the new students every year can be said to have spent a lot of effort, but the most important thing is the strength of the apprentices who come out of here every year, which directly affects the reputation of a school.

In addition, the major colleges have also jointly held the annual Hongyanling Regional Apprentice Competition, so as to show the strong strength of the major colleges to the outside world. Every year, the academy competition will attract the attention of many surrounding forces, and those who can be selected as the representative of the academy are undoubtedly the seed players of a academy, Shi Xuan finally got the recognition of the academy through his own efforts, and was one of the seeded players in the inner positioning.

Just after Shi Xuan and the others went to Master Su Li to listen to the cultivation professor, Su Li announced in public that the academy would make every effort to train seed players to participate in this year's Hongyanling Academy competition.

"This year's situation is extremely grim, other academies this year there are rumors that there are many outstanding apprentices, posing a great threat to our Tianhai Yuan, our academy has won the title of the first academy in Hongyanling for ten consecutive years, this is the pride of each of us, to be able to teach you skills again, but also my pride Su Li, this year I hope to be selected as a disciple of the seed player, you have to leave the glory here, don't let the academy down", Su Li warned everyone,

Many disciples discussed, "Which ones are the seeded players?"

"If only I could play, my family would be happy for me. ”

"Don't think about it, at your level, even I might as well represent the academy in such a competition. ”

"Quiet, everyone must be wondering, who can participate, I can tell you, each academy sends two teams, namely Kaiyuan Realm and Xuanmai Realm, each with five people, and this year only the top five players in our academy can participate, of course, there is still a month for you to challenge the leaderboard, and after a month, the quota will be determined", Su Li said.

Shi Xuan felt a lot of pressure after hearing this, he also wanted to participate in this event, but it was not easy to break into the top five, beating Chen Guang, who was ranked tenth, before making Shi Xuan quite pressured, if he wanted to enter the top five, he had to break through again, otherwise there would be no chance.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan has recently felt that he is about to break through the bottleneck, and now he is only a little bit of an opportunity, and sometimes occasional perception is more effective than long-term cultivation.

Shi Xuan has been busier recently, in addition to preparing to speed up his cultivation, he is also ready to build another spiritual weapon for himself, now relying on a pair of fists alone does not have an advantage, he has encountered several opponents wearing two spiritual weapons equipment in the previous battle, which has made him suffer a lot, before he lacked contribution points, and now he is on the list, he has enough contribution points.

After a long time, he decided to forge a pair of combat boots for himself, this is his decision after a long battle, he has a defensive ability that is incomparable to others, and he has a pair of fists that can be taken advantage of, and there is no lack of attack and defense means, but how to break through to the opponent to play his advantages has always been a problem, others rely on powerful spiritual skills enough to defeat him before he gets close, if he is not fast enough, he will fall into passivity, after all, he can't only rely on his body to resist damage, it is never realistic, and the Xuanhuo spirit trick he has learned, the grade is not high, it is enough to deal with ordinary masters, if he encounters a strong opponent, he has no chance。

Now, melee combat is his world, and if you want to get close, you need to have enough speed and bursts to achieve it.

With the results, Shi Xuan began to design his combat boots, and soon a design drawing was completed by him, which was almost a matter of course.

The forging of combat boots is not as difficult as armor, but in order to ensure the quality, Shi Xuan has added a lot of high-grade spiritual materials, which makes the forging much more difficult. The slightest mistiming of the use of a spiritual material can lead to errors.

Shi Xuan exchanged a lot of spiritual materials and began to forge, next to the blazing high-temperature furnace, Shi Xuan carefully added various spiritual materials, after wasting several precious spiritual materials, he finally completed the steps, or forging, which made him feel distressed, although when forging, considering the situation of failure, some materials have backups, but the price is expensive, even if he is difficult to bear additional losses, this is also one of the reasons why the spirit forging master is more difficult in the future, who will have a lot of spiritual materials wasted.

This is the case with almost all manufacturing spirit masters, if the success rate is low, the more high-level spirit masters they consume, the high-level spirit materials they consume are enough to bankrupt some forces, but once they successfully complete the production of a high-level spirit weapon, it is enough for them to make a lot of money.

Now, Shi Xuan was far from reaching that level, but even so, he couldn't afford to squander these primary-level spiritual materials, and he was poor in a word.

The next steps Shi Xuan was cautious, carefully controlled all links, and finally made a mistake again, and finally a pair of exquisite combat boots appeared in front of him, with this pair of combat boots, it would be a nightmare for those crispy spirit masters, and the speed of shadows was enough to make most spirit masters frightened.

Shi Xuan couldn't wait to change into his combat boots and urge his spiritual power with all his might, only to see a guy covered in fire running through the many corners of Tianhai Yuan like lightning and thunder, his legs emitting firelight, providing him with a huge boost. Even a light body, jumping out of ten battles, whether attacking, retreating, chasing and killing, there is a huge advantage.

Shi Xuan's lightning-fast body and flame possession made many people disappear without even seeing his face. A wave of heat rolled up in the place he passed, kicking up countless dusts and making many people curse.

"What the hell, my delicious chicken legs?" scolded, a teenager who was tasting delicious chicken legs, watching a flash of fire pass by him so quickly that he was so frightened that the chicken legs fell to the ground.

Shi Xuan disappeared as soon as he slipped away, and at this moment he was gasping back to his residence, Liu Ming and the others looked at the dust behind Shi Xuan, and they didn't know what was going on at all, only to see Shi Xuan pursing his lips and laughing at this moment.

"This kid is stupid, it's not saved", Liu Ming felt inexplicable.

Several other people also shook their heads, and suddenly someone said, "What a pair of combat boots."

Only then did everyone realize that Shi Xuan was wearing a pair of cool combat boots, and at this moment, the aura gradually dissipated.

"Brother, I suddenly feel that I have a relationship with these pair of combat boots", Liu Ming's eyes glowed blue, and he almost tied up Shi Xuan and pulled off his combat boots.

"Uh, you're wrong, I'll rest first", looking at his wolf-like companions, Shi Xuan was ready to slip away.

"Today I went out to fight the local tyrants," Liu Ming shouted.

"Fighting local tyrants"

The brothers surrounded Shi Xuan: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I apologize for inviting everyone to have a big dinner today", Shi Xuan was finally slaughtered by his partners again before stopping......

Now the combat boots have been successfully forged, but Shi Xuan does not want to rely solely on foreign objects to improve his strength, no matter how good the spirit weapon is at this stage, it can be replaced by a high-level spirit weapon, the only thing that cannot be replaced is his own hard power, the spirit weapon is finally the icing on the cake of the foreign object, relying on it too early, it is not good for his future path.

Shi Xuan opened the last part of the Xuanhuo Spirit Technique, this was the core meaning of this spiritual technique, and only by thoroughly comprehending it could he truly learn this spiritual skill. The biggest difficulty in this article lies in the precise mobilization and control of aura in the body, especially the violent energy like the fire element, which accidentally hurts the enemy before hurting himself.

Looking at the complicated laws of energy mobilization, Shi Xuan was engrossed in his spiritual power, and seriously felt the flow of energy in the body, although there are ten thousand laws in the world, but the most basic laws do not change, only by completely mastering the most basic energy control, can we lay a good foundation for more strengthened spiritual skills in the future.

Shi Xuan's comprehension ability is not bad, and the spiritual power is enough to accurately control the recursive mobilization of energy, the majestic energy circulates in the body for a long time, and finally returns to the dantian completely, the powerful aura suddenly emits, it seems that the meridians of the whole body are awakening, a vast energy is formed in the hand, and the energy gradually forms a delicate fire spirit under Shi Xuan's control, the ultra-high temperature makes the surroundings become hot and dry, and a tiger-shaped fire spirit is formed, at this moment Shi Xuan's body suddenly shook, the tiger-shaped fire spirit almost dispersed, and a huge bloodthirsty desire almost swallowed him, and his consciousness became fierce。

Shi Xuan resisted with all his might the fierce aura that suddenly came from his blood, "No, I will never let this beast nature occupy my soul and suppress me."

A vast spiritual force successfully suppressed the ferocious qi in the bloodline, taking this opportunity, Shi Xuan successfully completed the gathering of the fire spirit in the shape of a tiger, a fierce tiger hit the target in the distance from his hand, the tiger broke away from his hands, unstoppable, the loud sound of "bang" came, sparks shot out for a while, and a huge puppet target turned into powder.

Shi Xuan quickly calmed down the violent energy in his body, and only then did he calm down.

I feel that the power of the Xuanhuo Spirit I hit is far beyond the power recorded in the exercise, and this should be because my mental power is strong enough to successfully improve the original problems in this exercise, so that the power of the attack increases dramatically.

But what shocked Shi Xuan was that the violent evil qi from his body was a huge hidden danger, which had appeared more than once in the past year, if it weren't for his spiritual power getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid he would have been controlled by this evil qi.

Shi Xuan thought to himself: In the future, we must find a way to completely solve this bloodthirsty evil spirit.
