Now Wren and their team are in the middle of this mountain road, whether it is to return to the "Shining Gold Outpost" or continue to the "Shining City", the distance is about the same.

The beautiful countess had no intention of canceling the trip and returned, and the procession proceeded.

Fortunately, although last night's animal tide caused most of the members of the "Mountain Antelope Regiment" to hang up their colors, except for two seriously injured, almost all of them walked unhindered.

......

Breakfast was a hearty barbecue, with bear meat and wolf meat roasted on several large iron shelves.

Everyone ate and started a new day.

And the unconscious savage girl was tied up and hung from the spider motorcycle, dangling like bait hooked on a fishing line.

Wren heard Uncle Sam say that the barbarians of the "Forest of Ashes" are very hostile to humans, and the slightest carelessness can be fatal, and it is the best choice to trap them.

Hearing this, Wren also felt that it was reasonable, and it was strange that people could have a good attitude towards the invaders.

The team walked on the rugged mountain road, and the messy footprints of the monster could be seen along the way. Last night's "beast tide" left a mess in the forest like a flash flood.

Wren and Uncle Sam follow behind the Spider Auto so that they can protect the Countess in the car in the first place.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Wren always felt that Sam's eyes became a little strange when he looked at him early in the morning.

No, Sam, who didn't talk much, actually took the initiative to lean over and start a conversation.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he naturally asked about last night's battle, and exaggerated praise: "Oh... Dr. Wren, you're amazing! In fact, in two days, I practiced 'Iron Mountain' to the first glimpse of the door. Your martial arts talent is truly astonishing..."

"I'm not as good as my uncle said..."

Hearing this, Wren modestly responded to the words that had been prepared a long time ago: "The situation was critical last night, I didn't know how, and suddenly I felt that I understood it and crashed into it." It's a coincidence..."

There's nothing wrong with that.

If Sam hadn't been watching the entire battlefield, he would have believed it.

It is true that people may do something beyond their own strength in response to stress. But in that situation last night, he didn't panic when he watched Wren the whole time. That calm look, you tell me that it is a stress reaction?

"Haha, it's pretty powerful anyway..."

Sam had a pompous smile on his face, and he didn't look into it too much, and he said a few useless polite words.

Wren listened, and always felt that this uncle was weird.

At this time, Sam seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Wren and said, "Doctor Wren, didn't you ask me before, is it possible to take into account the advantages of the two sequence branches of the martial artist [Qigong Master] and the [Martial Artist]?" ”

Wren was a little stunned when he heard this, not knowing what he was doing all of a sudden, and wondered: "Yes." Didn't you say you couldn't? ”

"Hey, hey..."

Uncle Sam scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "The 'impossible' I said before was for ordinary people. But if it's a martial arts genius, it's actually possible. ”

"Huh?"

Wren vaguely felt that he seemed to mean something.

Could it be that the martial arts genius he is talking about is himself?

What a genius... It's just the dream of the "smart brain" that gives him more time to do penance.

Sure enough, Uncle Sam explained: "Actually, the biggest essential difference between the two sequences of [Qigong Master] and [Martial Artist] lies in the muscles and the amount of fighting energy. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But if there is a transcendent in the [Qigong] sequence, when he can train his muscle strength to be stronger than the [Fighter] sequence, reaching about 1.5 times or more. He'll be able to combine explosiveness, skill, and durability at the same time..."

"Ah, how is that possible?"

The more Wren listened, the more confused he became.

It's not that he didn't fantasize about this possibility, but it was actually impossible.

He asked again: "Didn't you say before that the potion of the [Qigong Master] sequence does not focus on absolute muscle strength, and no matter how exaggerated the power of awakening is, it is absolutely impossible to be stronger than the [Fighter] potion of the same quality, let alone 1.5 times the degree..."

"Yes, I said that."

Uncle Sam paused for a moment, mysteriously sold the pass, and then added, "But as I said, potions are just the beginning. ”

Wren thought of something and guessed, "What do you mean... Is there any other way? ”

"Hmm."

Sam nodded, his eyes rolled, and he said, "In addition to potions that can increase human attributes, transcendents can also increase their strength through cultivation. Like what... Some kind of secret method of refining the body. ”

"Body Refining Secret Method?"

Wren had heard of it, but he had never touched it.

Exercises such as secret methods, like high-quality potion formulas, are generally in the hands of top nobles and top transcendents.

At the beginning, the "Weasel Regiment" also heard that the head of the group, Quinn, would practice a secret method of increasing agility, which made him feel like a ghost, and his body could burst out with a speed far beyond that of the same level.

Speaking of this, he suddenly understood, stared at Sam in surprise, and asked, "Uncle... You don't mean that you know the secret method of refining your body to increase your strength, do you? ”

"Actually... It's my family who has passed down a secret method of refining the body. ”

Sam was probably a little weak because of the story, and his expression was a little strange: "The reason why I was able to use the power to resist that third-order exploding demon bear last night was actually because of that secret method. ”

As he spoke, he added in his heart: It's weird.

Anyway, he also felt that Wren's current realm didn't see anything wrong, and he was justified no matter how he bragged.

"Oh, I see..."

Wren really thinks this is very reasonable.

If it weren't for some secret method, how could Sam, who was a third-order [Demon Hunter], wrestle with the "Burst Demon Bear", which is known as his strength specialty, and still win.

But this kind of secret method is generally a secret that is not passed on, and even if anyone cultivates it, it will not be mentioned to outsiders.

Wren guessed: Now that this uncle says it, is it because he sees that he is a so-called "martial arts genius", and he has the intention of accepting apprentices?

He looked at Sam with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Uncle Sam, you are..."

Sam smiled slightly, and said the sentence he was expecting, "I saw that you have excellent martial arts talent last night, so I want to teach you this secret method." ”

Wren swallowed, feeling like he had been hit in the head by a gold brick: "Ahhh

Sam changed his words and explained, "I didn't tell you before because my cultivation of this secret method is 'very difficult'. It is impossible for ordinary people to get started, and if they are not talented in martial arts, it is useless to learn it. ”

Wren suddenly felt a little weird, Uncle Sam wasn't boasting...

Since this uncle knows this family secret method, it means that he himself is actually a "gifted person"?

Uncle Sam was a little uncomfortable stared at by this gaze, and he also understood the meaning of the ridicule, so he said truthfully: "Don't look at me with this look... My martial arts talent is mediocre. ”

“...”

Wren rolled his eyes and said faintly, "Uncle Sam, I think you're afraid you have some misunderstanding of the word 'mediocre'..."

I also said before that your "martial arts skills are mediocre", but as a result, you single-handedly killed the third-order burst bandeau without injury.

And now you say that "the talent is mediocre"?

I believe you're a ghost, bad old man...
