According to Du Mu's thoughts, he is more inclined to the first one.

Without him, it takes less time.

To hunt and kill a fierce desolate beast, it will take three or five days to say the least, and it is better to use this time for cultivation.

After getting the information he wanted, Du Mu suddenly lost interest in continuing to watch, turned his head to Zhou Qixi and said, "I suddenly remembered that there was something to do, so I left first." ”

"Eh, don't you want to see it?" Zhou Qixi was stunned for a moment, showing a look of wanting to speak and stopping, and finally nodded, "Okay." ”

"We'll have a chance to talk again. Du Mu said, waved his hand towards Fang Jin, and left the competition room directly.

Seeing this, Fang Jin was overjoyed, but he still sighed on his face.

"Unfortunately, duels in the second year are not very common, and they are still very helpful for new students. ”

"Maybe he doesn't need to. Zhou Qixi looked at the back of Du Mu leaving, and said quietly, "After all, he once duel with the second-grade senior, and he even won the other party." ”

Hearing this, Fang Jin's expression froze for a moment, and then he reacted, and shouted in a low voice: "He is the first-grade student who injured Xu Dongjie?"

"Yes. Zhou Qixi glanced at him puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Fang Jin hurriedly shook his head, and there was a burst of joy in his heart.

Xu Dongjie is ranked 78th in his grade, ranking even higher than him.

Just entering the school can make a two-star martial artist in the top 100 grades suffer a big loss, such a ruthless person must not be provoked, fortunately, he has just restrained himself.

"He pretended to be so vague just now, he shouldn't have seen it, right?" Fang Jin thought uneasily.

......

Late at night, in a dream.

On the street outside the apartment.

A large amount of gray-white mist was like substance, condensing into a layer of gray-white armor, wrapping Du Mu's body up and down, without revealing a single gap.

Even the eyes are hidden under the mist.

A faceless man with a combat power of 146 was frantically attacking Du Mu, who stood motionless in place, allowing the sharp black sword to slash at him.

If you look closely, you can see that every time the blade of the Faceless Man touches the gray mist on the surface of Du Mu's body, it will stay as if it has lost all its strength, and it will not be able to advance an inch.

In the shadow of the sword in the sky, Du Mu was like a reef standing in the sea, letting the raging waves beat, but he was always towering and motionless.

"Sure enough, the Faceless One, who has a combat strength of less than 150 and lacks sword skills, can no longer cause damage to me!"

Five minutes later, Du Mu lost interest and slashed the Faceless One with a single sword, ending the battle.

As soon as his mind moved, the gray dream on the surface of his body quickly retracted into his body.

In the battle just now, Du Mu once again felt the strength of Gray Dream's defense.

As long as the attack power can't break through the upper limit of Gray Dream's isolation, it won't have any effect on him at all, even if his body shakes slightly, it can't be described as a veritable 'isolation'!

Du Mu has decided in his heart to take Gray Dream as a key skill improvement in the future.

"First, though, we have to solve the problem of fog absorption. ”

He looked around.

After last night's aggressive absorption, the concentration of fog on the streets has dropped by at least a third.

Now Du Mu's field of vision can be extended to 30 meters away.

In addition, the combat power of the Faceless Beings wandering the streets has basically stabilized at more than 140, and it is completely no longer 'harmless'.

"It seems that the impact of the fog reduction on the light film is irreversible!" Du Mu had a calculation in his heart, "It seems that the fog concentration has no signs of recovery." ”

He had some regrets, if the mist could recover automatically, it would be equivalent to a continuous stream of experience points to absorb points, and the speed of Gray Dream upgrade would be greatly increased.

"However, if you absorb all the remaining fog on the street, you should be able to increase your experience by about 300 points. ”

Du Mu exhaled, and the gray dream gushed out from his body, covering his whole body again.

However, unlike before, this time a vortex condensed out of thin air behind Du Mu's back, slowly spinning, absorbing the surrounding mist.

This was the way he had just thought of to absorb the mist while killing the incoming Faceless.

Due to the distraction of the battle, the speed of absorbing the mist is naturally far less than last night, but this is already the most effective method at the moment, killing two birds with one stone.

With the sound of breaking the air, the fog in front of him surged, and four or five faceless people jumped out of it with black swords in their hands, and rushed towards Du Mu fiercely.

......

In the following time, Du Mu practiced as usual during the day, and after entering the dream realm at night, he focused all his energy on absorbing the mist and strengthening the gray dream.

In reality, it has been more than two months since the start of the semester, and the new students have basically become familiar with the rules of the college, and more and more new students have joined the ranks of busy earning points.

Every day, you can see a large number of students running back and forth on the school road.

On the other hand, the senior students who used to focus on cultivation and mission outings frequently appeared in the academy for some reason, and after a few days, they ran outside one after another.

Gossip began to circulate in the academy, and it seemed that something good had been found in a new ruin in the north, and the academy was preparing to summon senior combat forces to excavate.

When he heard the news, Du Mu remembered that Du Shuang happened to be exploring the new ruins in the north, so he immediately called over, but no one answered.

It was common for the ruins to not receive a signal, but he was still not very relieved, and turned back to find Luo Shen and asked if he had received relevant news.

in the living room.

"I asked the family. ”

Luo Shen put down his phone, walked in from the balcony, and sat down on the sofa.

"Something is wrong with the ruins of the north!"

"What's the situation?" Du Mu said in a deep voice.

"Do you know which country is north of the Federation?"

"Huoyin Business Alliance. Du Mu frowned, "You mean that the Fire Silver Merchant Alliance has also been involved?"

Luo Shen said: "In fact, the newly discovered ruins originally crossed the border between the two countries, and according to international regulations, both the Federation and the Business Alliance have the right to explore and develop. ”

"In fact, not long ago, the Federation and the Business Alliance did the same, and they were relatively safe for a few months, until later, someone found something precious in the depths of the ruins, and under the competition between them, the two broke out into conflict. ”

"What precious things?" Du Mu was a little curious, the relationship between the Federation and the Shang Alliance was not as rigid as with the Empire, and on the whole it was quite harmonious, what could make the two fight for it even if there was a conflict?

When Luo Shen heard this, a meaningful look appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

"A hedron that strengthens the body!"

Du Mu was stunned for a moment.

A spar that strengthens the body?

For some reason, when he heard this word, he had a faint sense of familiarity.

"The Federation has bought several spars a few days ago, and after research and experiments, it has been determined that this is a spar containing some unknown energy, which will melt into a liquid state after contact with human saliva, and swallowing it can slightly strengthen a certain aspect of physical fitness. Luo Shen threw out a bombshell news again.

"What has been discovered by the Federation so far, the physical qualities that the spar can enhance include strength, agility, physique, and physical recovery, not to mention the ability to perceive. ”

"You should understand what that means, right?"

Hearing this, Du Mu took a slight breath of cold air.

Of course he got it!

Isn't this a property pyroxene!?

The way and effect of the spar in Luo Shen's mouth were exactly the same as the attribute pyroxene he drew from the gachapon machine in the commissary.

Strength Pyroxene, Agility Pyroxene, and Constitution Pyroxene, as well as perceptual Pyroxene!

Du Mu never expected that he had just gotten the pyroxene in the front, and later in reality, the Federation and the Shang Alliance found the same thing in the ruins.

Almost instantly, he realized what a powerful sensation and impact the discovery of the spar would bring to the real martial arts circle.

It is unknown whether pyroxene has a diminishing effect similar to that of potion resistance, as is the case with enhancement potions.

But even if there is, its decreasing effect will not coincide with the strengthening potion, after all, they are two completely different things, and Du Mu has personally experienced it.

In other words, even a martial artist who has already taken multiple potions of potion and developed resistance to medicine can quickly improve his physical fitness again by consuming pyroxene.

This is simply a wonderful surprise for a warrior!

High-level martial artists may not be able to look down on this enhancement, but grassroots martial artists will definitely rush to it and will not hesitate to pay a lot of money to obtain pyroxene.

It is foreseeable that, like the strengthening agent, pyroxene will inevitably become a national strategic resource in the future, and any country will do its best to extract and compete for it.

It is nothing more than a conflict between the Federation and the Business Alliance!

"But when it comes to the conflict, in fact, there is no military intervention yet, and the two parties involved are only our academy and the gemological academy of the business alliance. ”

The Gem Academy is the highest martial arts institution of the Fire Silver Merchant Alliance, and its status is similar to that of the Star Luo Academy in the Federation, and it is also a martial arts university with a profound foundation and a large number of geniuses.

"Is it the reason for the ruins?" Du Mu asked.

He knew that some ruins would limit the age or strength level of those who entered, which was not uncommon for strange ruins.

Most of the new ruins this time are the same, otherwise it involves such an important resource as pyroxene, and the military would not have been able to intervene until now.

"That's right!"

As if guessing Du Mu's thoughts, Luo Shen nodded and continued: "The newly discovered ruins have restrictions on the age and strength of those who enter, and only martial artists under the age of 22 can enter. ”

Therefore, after learning of the existence of pyroxene, the military immediately issued a mandatory assistance mission to the academy, requiring all the students in the third and fourth grades to immediately set off to the north to explore the ruins. ”

"That's why seniors have been moving around a lot lately. ”

Du Mu was stunned, and then wondered: "Then why didn't the military recruit the second-year students together?"

First-year freshmen have just entered the school, and their strength is not strong, so it is understandable that they are not within the scope of the call-up.

However, second-year students generally have the strength of two-star warriors and above, and have performed many actual combat missions, so it stands to reason that they should be competent enough to explore the ruins.

"The ruins have just been excavated, the exploration progress is not large, and there are many dangers inside, it is estimated that it is because of this that the academy and the military did not count the second year among them. ”

"At present, only a small number of second-year students participated, and they were basically the top 30 elites in their grades, such as Senior Sister Du Shuang and my old sister. ”

Luo Shen groaned.

"However, with the development of the situation, it is not ruled out that the second year in the later stage, or even the first year will be called up, after all, this time the Federation is bound to win the Pyroxene, and the Fire Silver Merchant Alliance will also not give all the benefits to the Federation, and the competition between the two sides will only become more and more intense!"

"And, don't forget that there's also a White Eagle Empire, I don't think it will stand idly by watching the Federation and the Business Alliance eat a lot of money!"
