In the next few days, Luo Bai's life was very regular, feeding Li Feng every morning, and cultivating by himself in the afternoon and evening.

There is good news, though, and bad news;

The good news is that Luo Bai has mastered all the twenty-seven sword moves of the Blood Shadow Sword Technique, and in some time, he will be able to successfully condense the secret pattern of combat skills, and at that time, his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

This is not only because of the increase in combat power brought by this skill itself, but more importantly, this nine-star combat skill of the Sergeant Rank is not a basic combat skill with almost no characteristics like the "Basic Sword Technique".

According to Instructor Barton's original statement, when he successfully condensed the secret pattern of the "Blood Shadow Sword Technique", it would inevitably affect the characteristics of the dark energy in his body, and would make the dark energy more suitable for the use of the sword technique.

As for what will happen, Luo Bai is still unclear.

The bad news is that Luo Bai's previous speculation has finally come true, and his cultivation speed has slowed down.

It has been more than half a month since he broke through the seventh level of the Sergeant Rank, and during this time, after the training and nourishment of high-level dark energy, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, but then he can no longer train himself to the limit of his physical fitness casually like before.

The limits are getting higher and harder to break through.

Incidentally, in the past few days, Luo Bai has exercised every day, but he can only reach the limit of his physical fitness once at most, which also means that he can get less energy from his heart every day.

"Gotta figure it out!" Luo Bai soaked in the bathtub, thinking.

The team has just suffered a heavy loss, and the only ones in good combat force are Toby Cook, Wu Yinghao, and himself, and it is unlikely that there will be any plans to go out of the city in the near future, but if Luo Bai acts alone, the risk is too great.

Don't think about it, Song Moteng must have sent someone to keep an eye on him, as long as he dares to go out of the city alone, he will be surrounded every minute and beaten to death.

"Don't think about going to the wilderness to fight for the time being, until you solve the matter of the Nanshui Gang, it's best to stay in the city, I haven't been able to endure every second......"

"Higher level exercises....... Breathing and breathing has not yet been completely integrated into the bones, and it has become a ...... energy."

After half a year of training, Luo Bai has long been able to breathe with breathing and breathing all day long, and there will be no problems even in the process of shallow sleep, but if he enters a deep sleep, his breathing pattern will still be scattered, and he will get closer to the rhythm brought by beating his mother's womb.

It's something that can't be helped, it has nothing to do with skills, it takes a long time to hone.

Thinking of any good way for the time being, Luo Bai focused on his 'natural combat skills' again.

Luo Bai thought that his understanding of 'searching the intestines and scraping the belly' was enough, but the previous battle with the cloaked man made him discover that this combat skill had other characteristics.

At that time, the impact of the first 100 'gut-scraping' on the cloaked man could be said to be minimal, which was normal.

'Searching the intestines and scraping the belly' is completely a combat skill that eats dark energy, and it has already been greatly suppressed when facing the eighth-level dark beast, not to mention that the energy level of the cloak man is two levels higher than him.

In that battle, to be honest, when Luo Bai really felt the degree of suppression of the cloak man's 'gut-searching and belly-scraping', the odds of victory in his heart dropped from the original two percent to less than one percent, in that case, he could only continue to fight for that line of life.

It's just that to his surprise, the pain caused by the accumulation of 'searching the intestines and scraping the belly' actually increased exponentially!

That's a bit awesome, once the growth rate model of anything becomes exponential, it's the existence of breaking through the sky in minutes.

"I don't know if other similar combat skills have this characteristic......" Thinking of this, Luo Bai immediately came to his senses, landed on Skynet, and began to inquire about relevant information.

Half an hour later, Luo Bai withdrew from Skynet, and he couldn't say whether he should be happy or depressed.

Judging from the information that he can access with his current authority, the characteristic that the effect of combat skills increases exponentially with the accumulation of numbers does not exist, so his 'gut-searching and belly' should be unique and very awesome.

But again, the problem arises;

Without a similar trait, how to further cultivate and strengthen this trait became a problem, after all, judging from the situation of the previous battle, the critical number at which the pain index began to increase exponentially was about a hundred.

That's embarrassing!

For ordinary opponents, Luo Bai doesn't need to spend so much effort to put on a hundred layers of 'searching intestines and scraping stomachs' for the opponent;

The awesome opponent will not stand in place and give him the opportunity to throw a hundred 'gut-searching and scraping', the reason why he was able to succeed last time was because Toby Cook was desperately trying to contain the other party, otherwise he would have been killed by the cloaked man.

"We have to find a way to strengthen this characteristic, otherwise, this hundred ways ...... It's a little uncomfortable. Luo Bai's brows furrowed, he really wanted to have an 'old man' to help him preach and solve his doubts, but it was destined to be just a dream.

......

January 1st, New Year's Day.

Although Coleman City does not have the Spring Festival in China, the first day of January is the beginning of the new year after all, and it is still a bit festive.

In the morning, when Li Feng was fed, Luo Bai greeted several people he knew one by one, and when he was eating at noon, Li Feng received a message.

"Brother Luo, I passed the primary election, and I went to report on the 27th to participate in the group entrance assessment."

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Brother Feng, mighty and domineering!" Hawkes drank a glass of juice to celebrate.

A few people were chatting before Toby Cook's newsletter came in.

"Happy New Year, Captain."

Luo Bai congratulated with a smile, Zhang Hao's matter has been some days, and several people have slowly recovered their previous state, life and death are really commonplace for martial artists who are jumping on the tip of the knife all the time.

"Happy New Year!"

Toby Cook also said with a smile, and then said: "I'm going to go to the black market in the evening, are you interested?" Take you to the world. ”

"Okay!" Luo Bai's eyes lit up, the black market, he hasn't been to it yet, this kind of place, you can't find the location on the Internet, and if you want to go, only an acquaintance will lead the way.

"Okay, then you come to my house at nine o'clock in the evening."

"Don't you need a cloak mask or something?" Luo Bai was curious, and his thoughts were a little scattered.

"No," Toby Cook shook his head and smiled, "You'll know when you go." ”

......

At nine o'clock in the evening, Luo Bai showed up at Toby Cook's house on time.

"Brother Hao and Sister Anna aren't going?" Seeing that he was the only one, Luo Bai opened his mouth and asked.

Toby Cook shook his head and said, "They've all been there before, and this time they're just going to redeem the bounty gold, and there's nothing else to do, so they won't go." ”

The two went out, and Toby Cook Cook drove all the way, but in the direction of the city.

"Isn't the black market somewhere in the middle of nowhere?"

Luo Bai was puzzled.

Toby Cook just smiled mysteriously and didn't speak.

About forty minutes later, the car suddenly stopped.

Toby Cook: "It's here! ”

"Arrived?"

Luo Bai glanced out of the car window, and there were 10,000 sentences in his heart that were about to gush out, he wanted to break his head, but he didn't expect the black market to be here!

With this meow raising his eyes, he can see the Temple of the Apocalypse!

Guts are so fat?!
