The irritable Xu Yong had already walked to the depths of the inner courtyard of the station, and Xue Qing's cruel laughter and the woman's crying and screaming came from his ears.

Xu Yong frowned, and looked at the bright lights in the courtyard and the shadows dancing on the windows.

He stared at the shadow on the window for a long time, until the voice of the woman in the room became weaker and weaker until it was inaudible, and Xu Yong withdrew his gaze.

Lowering his head, a strange look flashed in Xu Yong's green fake eyes, and he gave up his original plan to report and turned around and walked towards his room.

At the end of the day, around the middle of the hour, the defensive barrier of Koca City opened, and at the same time, the army guarding the city walls and gates began to encounter the small group of monsters at the vanguard of the beast tide, and the bloody February officially opened.

In the vibration of the entire Dragon Head Mountain Range and the howl of the endless demon beasts, Ning Yuan on the platform opened his eyes a little dazed.

Ning Yuan, who stood up with the three-edged cold iron spear in his hand, his eyes were sometimes confused and sometimes clear, and he began to practice the three-edged spear trick in his mind with the slight vibration of the ground and the faint roar of demon beasts in his ears.

The action from the initial jerky to proficient, from the confusion of the moves to the sudden, under the "sunset" the understanding of the three-edged gun trick is deepening, over and over again in the practice and correction, the three-edged gun trick in Ning Yuan's mind seems to have begun to change, in the dark Ning Yuan followed a certain thought that appeared in his mind, and then the original neutral and peaceful three-edged gun posture seemed to suddenly have a thick spirituality, and the whole gun momentum became stagnant and heavy.

Ning Yuan, who let go of the inexplicable intuition in his mind, didn't seem to feel the solemnity of the gun, and still practiced the three-edged gun trick in his mind in a more and more slow attitude, until an inexplicable breath entered his body with his breath, and left a "seed" when passing through the sea of qi.

The system prompt sound that sounded in his head woke Ning Yuan up. Ning Yuan, who suddenly came to his senses, was a little dazed when he looked at the system record.

"Congratulations to the player for successfully condensing his qi and becoming a soldier-level cultivator."

"Condensation success?!" Ning Yuan looked at these four words dumbfounded, and muttered in his mouth: "What the hell?!" How can it be? ”

Ning Yuan returned his consciousness from his mind to his body, and felt it carefully, it seemed to be a little different, but he didn't have a clear idea of how to make a difference.

Ning Yuan didn't have any surprises about quickly cultivating the first wisp of internal qi with the help of "Xizhao", but to say that he succeeded in condensing qi directly, Ning Yuan really didn't believe it. Even with systematic help, the first cultivation left behind the "Qi Seed", which in Ning Yuan's opinion, no one could do except those cultivation demons. Not to mention him, even those elites who claim to be geniuses and geniuses can't do it, unless they use external forces.

A confused look flashed on Ning Yuan's bookish face, the existence of the system is the core rule in the Nino Continent, and its judgment should not be wrong.

"So, try?" Ning Yuan's mind flashed, and his consciousness gathered again, but this time it was not focused on his mind but on his body.

"Look inward!" As soon as his thoughts turned, a black and white world suddenly appeared in Ning Yuan's consciousness, and slowly colors began to appear in the black and white world. Then Ning Yuan "saw" his heart, viscera, meridians, blood vessels, musculoskeletal, and the stars of the Star Palace that radiated hazy brilliance.

Although there are only three stars, Tai Guan, Tai Yin and Shao Yin, both in the stars and on the Neno continent, it is believed that each star palace in the human body corresponds to an invisible star outside the sky.

Consciousness shifted downward, and Ning Yuan finally "saw" what he wanted to see.

A cotton wool-like ball of light floats in the Qi Sea Star Palace, this is the "Qi Seed" - the "Seed of Yuan Qi".

"It's really done?!" Ning Yuan opened his eyes in surprise, and his consciousness immediately detached from the state of "inner vision".

The so-called "condensation" is the condensation of a "seed of vitality" in the "sea of qi" star palace. The initial cultivation of a soldier-level cultivator is to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into the "Qi Species", and then compress it to the limit to make it "explode", and open up the "Qi Sea" Star Palace to become a real "Qi Sea"—the Sea of Yuan Qi.

This process typically takes three to six years among the indigenous people. Among them, it takes one to two years to condense the "Qi Seed", and it takes three to four years to fill and compress the "Qi Seed" and make it "explode".

Although the player has the help of the system, Ning Yuan originally estimated that the condensation stage would take about seven to ten days, which is not only the process of familiarizing the player with the flow of vitality in the body, but also the process of the player's understanding of what cultivation is.

"It's all over the place with me?!" Ning Yuan raised his left hand in confusion and scratched his scalp, and then remembered that it seemed that he had just followed the idea that appeared inexplicably in the state of "sunset" and then such a strange thing happened.

"It shouldn't be the reason for 'sunset'." Ning Yuan vetoed the idea that "sunset" was the reason for the first time.

The official name of "Sunset" should be called "Shadow of the Past", which is the name of the ability that automatically comes to Ning Yuan's mind when he awakens into a dream when he is six years old. "Sunset" is the abbreviation of Ning Yuan's own ability.

The effect of the "Shadow of the Past" is to put it bluntly, the effect of memory reproduction, although it can engrave some "memories" as "instinctual" effects, and at the same time, it can also deepen the understanding and comprehension of "knowledge" memories, but it definitely does not have the ability to change "memories". The side effects are only the blurring or erasure of specific memories, but they are only for the memories themselves, not for the knowledge and imprint instincts that are realized by "memories".

The thought in the dark just now undoubtedly changed the memory of "Three-Edged Gun Technique" in the original "Sunset". This is not the effect of "looking in the past".

"It seems more like some kind of self-evolution after enlightenment... Ning Yuan muttered.

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Ning Yuan seemed to think of something, and immediately called out the character panel in his mind.

"Name: Ning Yuan

Gender: Male

Race: Zhuxia Terran

Occupation: Practitioner

Household registration status: None

Cultivation Level: Soldier (Beginning)

Talent Seeds: 4 (Powerful, Swift, Alien Eye, Yayan)

Powerful (Channeling)

Swift (Booting)

Yayan (Awakening)

Awakened Talents:

Gun Spine: Heavy

Number of respawns: 1 (cannot be promoted, cannot be replenished)

Number of rebirths: zero

Item: Omitted

"Sure enough!" Looking at the information on the character panel, a sudden look appeared on Ning Yuan's face, and he became excited in an instant.

The "Heavy" of the first stage of "Gun Spine" has been awakened, and the effect is that the power of the gun is deepened, similar to the effect of the "Strong" talent. However, this force does not refer to the force used by the body, but to the power of the gun itself, which is used as a weapon.

To put it simply, to understand that weapon talents such as "gun spine" are equivalent to the affinity of weapons, proficiency and other things. You have the highest affinity with a certain weapon, and the higher your proficiency, the more you will be able to exert the power of the weapon itself and master the skills of using the weapon.

In the introduction of the "Talent Atlas", the "Spear Spine" talent is divided into four deepening stages: "heavy", "light", "potential" and "Tao". The effect of "heavy" is to deepen the power of the weapon itself, "light" is the method of "light and heavy transformation" of the weapon, "potential" is to strengthen the use of the weapon to the vitality, such as strengthening the power of the spear and other external vitality attacks, and "dao" is vaguely described as mastering the "road of the gun".

Although the "Spear Spine" belonged to the general class of weapon talents, it was indeed a reason to be excited to be able to awaken the first stage of Ning Yuan as soon as he stepped into the military-level cultivator.

Isn't there a saying that "there is no garbage talent, only garbage talent owners".

However, although the awakening of the "spear spine" made Ning Yuan feel excited, what excited him the most was the words "Yao Yan (awakening)". His guess was finally confirmed, and it was not surprising that when the "Three-Edged Gun Technique" completely became Ning Yuan's own "Three-Edged Gun Technique", it would be the time when the "Yanyan" talent really awakened.

Don't underestimate the difference between "leading" and "awakening." "Guidance" is "leading but not ending", and "awakening" is "developing but not ending".

In other words, the talent that is "guiding" is completely ineffective, but the talent that is "awakening" can already exert a partial effect, but this effect is uncontrollable.

The "awakening" talent of "Yanyan" convinced Ning Yuan of his guess. "Yanyan" is indeed a spiritual talent such as calculus and derivation, and the combination of "sunset" can make him greatly improved in many aspects. It can be said that in addition to that unknown sixth talent, "Yanyan" will undoubtedly become Ning Yuan's most important reliance.

Ning Yuan, who had been attracted by his own state since he came to his senses, finally felt the faint vibration of the ground and the faint beast roar that could still be heard even from the mountain wall of an unknown number of feet.

Looking up at the pitch-black dome of the mountain wall, Ning Yuan's eyes flickered. He knew that the beast tide had begun.

Ning Yuan raised his hand and used Qimen to sense it, and found that about seven days had passed.

Speaking of Ning Yuan's knowledge of Qimen, this is thanks to the old man of his family.

Thirty years ago in the real world, ten years before the establishment of the Coalition Government of the Stars, in order to seat their respective countries in the coalition government, the Ruins opened up a virtual game world as a stage for the competition of various countries.

The knowledge and ability of Qimen that Ning Yuan mastered was obtained by Ning Yuan's father in that void area. Because he thought it was useful, he passed it on to the three of them.

After feeling his physical condition a little, Ning Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Bigu Pill is indeed worthy of being a necessary cultivation elixir for cultivators.

As far as a rookie like him who has just cultivated is concerned, seven days have passed in one cultivation, and those senior cultivators are afraid that the time for one cultivation is even longer, not to mention the legendary retreat of several years and decades at every turn.

If there were no supplemental pills like Bigu Dan, I am afraid that a simple practice could make a cultivator starve to death. That is not cultivation but death. However, cultivation itself is a matter of perseverance, and if you want to achieve something, it is almost inevitable that you will stay up for time.

Taking the human race as an example, the average lifespan of the Terrans of the Stars is one hundred and twenty years old, and the average lifespan of the Terrans of the Nino Continent is one hundred and twenty-five years old. The best cultivation time for the human race is forty-eight years from the age of twelve to sixty. And it takes almost one to two years from the beginning of cultivation to the condensation of the "Qi Species", and it takes another three to four years from the "Qi Species" to the opening up of the "Qi Sea", and according to the shortest average time, it takes almost four years for the human race to become a real soldier-level cultivator from the beginning of cultivation, that is, sixteen years old. And it takes about six years to go from the soldier level to the husband level. From this point of view, in fact, Xu Yong's qualifications are really good.

The shortest recorded record from the husband to the lieutenant level is ten years on the Neno continent, and the average is almost fifteen to eighteen years. The shortest record from lieutenant to school rank is also ten years, but this record is the result of the demon himself being the lord of a city, and there are rules to protect him from being restricted by the rules of the city-state. If you calculate the breaking limit of the city-state rules, this average time is basically impossible to calculate.

Let's put it this way, the best time for the human race to cultivate, or the best time for the human level to lay the foundation, is those forty-eight years. In these forty-eight years, even if it only took you twenty years to cultivate from a mortal to the rank of captain, as long as you can't become a city lord or get a school-level breakthrough quota in a certain city-state in the remaining twenty-eight years, then no matter how fast your cultivation speed is and how demonic your talent is, you can only be stuck at the captain level and cannot advance an inch.

Why do the rules of the city-state restrict a practitioner's breakthrough? It has been said before that it is because of resources, but there is another reason that is the restriction of the world rules of the Nino continent.

When a practitioner breaks through from the human level to the earth level, he will receive the gift of the world, which is simply to prolong his life. How many years? Three times your original lifespan. After the average lifespan of one hundred and twenty-five years old, the lifespan of the human race will increase to six hundred years. If you break through to the Heavenly Rank, your lifespan will be nine times that of the Primal Rank, that is, 5,400 years old.

Cultivators conquer heaven and earth to create and compete with heaven and earth, and the fundamental laws of the world have to limit the number of people who break through in order to maintain the orderly development and operation of the world. This is also the reason why the rules of the city-state limit the number of cultivators who can break through the ground level, and every time a cultivator above the ground level breaks through a great realm, he will usher in the Heavenly Tribulation Trial.

Of course, the rules for the player's cultivation as a special descending group will be different. At least the cultivation time of the human level will be much shorter than that of the aborigines, although the requirements and restrictions for breaking through the ground level are the same as those of the aborigines, but the cultivation speed after the breakthrough will also far exceed that of the aborigines, of course, they need to face the test of the Heavenly Tribulation like the aborigines.

But no matter how the system is favoritic, there must be a degree of love for the rules. And Ning Yuan's cultivation speed is obviously beyond the outline. Although seven days have passed, since Ning Yuan opened his eyes and officially began to cultivate the "Three-Edged Spear Technique", there was only one short crown, that is, three hours.

From a mortal to a soldier-level preparatory cultivator in three hours, this speed is definitely a 99% super-class existence among tens of billions of players.

Ning Yuan estimated that if he posted it on the forum at this speed, he would definitely be killed. So let's make a fortune quietly.

Fortunately, Ning Yuan is a wild player, and he wasted a lot of time in the early stage, otherwise even if Ning Yuan is unwilling at this time, his name will also be hung on the list of demons on the homepage of the forum for people to admire.

As mentioned earlier, the game world of Nino Continent is a kind of preparation for the resurgence of the star civilization after a hundred years of reality, which is related to the quota of real resources, and is full of competition. Therefore, the player forum has hung the names of the first one million players who have become soldier-level cultivators among all the players who have entered the Nino Continent on the homepage of the forum, which not only arouses the competitive spirit of players, but also gives those realistic forces an opportunity to bet.

At least for the time being, the series of numbers in their system records is still of some value to the system.
