Chapter 9: Xie Zhen

"Ahh

The fist fell, and Duan Chen realized that the iron-backed bear who was tied up not only did not suffer the slightest injury, but on the contrary, it was as if he had hit an iron plate with a punch, and the huge pain coming from the back of his hand made him scream even more.

"Stupid, the weakness of the iron-backed bear is in its navel, if you don't hold on tightly, its kind will really come!" Looking at Duan Chen, who had tears in his eyes and a face full of pain, the disdainful voice of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape came out again.

"Knowing his weakness, you didn't say it earlier!"

After cursing the Blood Pupil Demon Ape fiercely countless times in his heart, listening to the roars of the strange beasts that were getting closer and closer around him, Duan Chen slammed his fist towards the navel of the iron-backed bear.

"Roar!"

Sure enough, under his own punch that grabbed the latter's weakness, the iron-backed bear, which seemed to be extremely fierce, suddenly fell to the ground with a terrible scream.

Looking at the iron-backed bear that was gradually dying and its skin was even softer, Duan Chen took out a sharp stone chip from the ground and took out its beast core.

Then he threw it at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape who couldn't wait, his eyes were shining, and the Tongmai Grass was unsurprisingly put into his pocket.

Back in the dormitory, Duan Chen couldn't wait to swallow it in one gulp after boiling the Tongmai grass he had just obtained under the guidance of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape.

"Buzz!"

The moment the herb was entered, Duan Chen intuitively felt as if a blazing flame burst out from his body, and then flew towards the countless veins of his body.

And under the impact of that blazing current, a huge pain that ordinary people could not bear spread throughout his body in an instant.

"Kid must hold on, this is the elixir to help you dredge your muscles and veins, once you survive it, your strength will definitely be able to go further!" Looking at Duan Chen, who was sweating profusely because of the severe pain, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape shouted.

Listening to the latter's shout, Duan Chen's fists couldn't help but clench together, clenching his teeth to fight against the incomparable pain.

After the severe pain had lasted for nearly two hours, just when Duan Chen felt that he was about to lose it, suddenly the sharp pain disappeared in an instant. A feeling of pleasure that made Duan Chen want to look up to the sky and roar spread from his body.

Feeling the unprecedentedly pleasant feeling in his body, Duan Chen couldn't help but ask silently in his heart: Has his bad muscles and veins really improved during this long torment?

In the blink of an eye, a month passed again like quicksand in his hands.

Wow, wow!

Outside the north courtyard, it was still under the magnificent waterfall, and with the crazy lapping of the water waves, the mountain rock under the waterfall suddenly made a thunderous sound.

However, instead of standing in the middle of the river as before, a familiar figure sat with his eyes closed on a rock under the waterfall.

Streams of rich Yuan Force spread out from the surroundings of that figure, so that the splashing waves were completely shielded from his body, and he couldn't get even half a point close.

I don't know how long later, just when a waterfowl had just swooped down and wanted to swallow a small fish that jumped out of the water, suddenly the figure that had been sitting quietly with its eyes closed suddenly trembled.

The next moment, as his eyes opened, a fierce momentum burst out from that figure, and the strong fluctuations directly stirred up several water columns three or four meters high on the water surface.

"It worked!"

Feeling the unusually rich fluctuation of Yuan Force in his body, especially after seeing the faint bronze luster lingering in front of him at this time, Duan Chen suddenly shouted with excitement on his face like a child who had picked up a peerless treasure.

After all, he had been waiting for nearly three years for this moment of promotion!

And the reason why Duan Chen was able to successfully advance in just one month, in addition to the role of Tongmai Grass, was obviously inseparable from his huge efforts that he had never given up on himself in the past few years.

Although this achievement that should have belonged to Duan Chen a long time ago was postponed for three years because of the muscles, it was precisely because of these three years of training that he laid the most solid foundation for his future martial arts path.

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Duan Chen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart for a while, and then turned back in the direction of the cafeteria in the north courtyard.

Sure enough, when his figure just appeared at the door of the cafeteria, Zhang Han was already waiting for him at the table where the two often ate with a prepared meal.

However, just as Duan Chen was about to go over to dine as usual, suddenly an unfamiliar figure stopped him directly in place with a face full of anger.

Looking at the man standing in front of him, just as Duan Chen was trying to remember where he had seen the other party, suddenly a guy with a bandage in his hand flashed out from behind the man, and said with hatred on his face: "Cousin, he is the one who injured me!"

For a while, looking at the familiar face in front of him, Duan Chen also understood in his heart that it seemed that the person in front of him was Xie Zhen, the cousin in Wang Kang's mouth that day.

"Boy, as long as you cut off your arms today and apologize to my cousin in front of everyone, I may be able to spare your previous mistakes for the sake of my fellow disciples, otherwise once I make a move, you won't just cut off your arms!"

Looking at Duan Chen with gloomy eyes, the man who was called his cousin by Wang Kang said with a grim face.

"It's over, I said how could Wang Kang be so arrogant on weekdays, it turns out that Xie Zhen from the Southern Courtyard is actually his cousin!"

"But it's not, it is rumored that this Xie Zhen just broke through to the realm of the Great Perfection of Transformation Yuan in retreat a few days ago, and now Wang Kang has become like this, with his character, I am afraid that Duan Chen will be unlucky!"

With the commotion here, some of the rookie disciples who had just joined the North Courtyard talked about it after recognizing this genius Xie Zhen, who was extremely famous in the South Courtyard.

"Of course it's okay to cut off your arms!" Looking at Xie Zhen, who was looking directly at him in front of him, Duan Chen deliberately paused and said. And with the end of his first half of the sentence, the arrogance on Xie Zhen's face couldn't help but become a little stronger.

"But I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to let me do that!" However, just when Xie Zhen felt disdainful for Duan Chen's cowardice, suddenly the latter's next words made his disdainful expression suddenly freeze on his face.

"Haha, interesting, if you think you can compete with me with your current strength, then I'll let you know how huge the gap between us is!"

Under Duan Chen's words, Xie Zhen suddenly laughed angrily. Then he suddenly strode forward, and a solid-like bronze halo instantly burst out from his body.

With the swept and oppressive of the Yuan Force Storm, some of the weaker disciples of the Northern Courtyard actually took a few steps back with a slightly painful look under the pressure of the other party's momentum.

"Huayuan Great Perfection, that guy really succeeded in making the cut!"

"It's over, now it seems that Duan Chen's kid is only afraid that he will be in big trouble this time!" Looking at Xie Zhen, whose momentum was rising, the disciples around him who had retreated far away gathered their sympathetic eyes on Duan Chen's body and said.

And Wang Kang and the others who were behind Xie Zhen were all full of sneers and smugness on their faces, obviously in their opinion, as long as Xie Zhen made a move, that morning would only be beaten.

"Boy, if you beg for mercy now, maybe it's still too late!" Glancing disdainfully at the disciples of the Northern Courtyard who had retreated, Xie Zhen looked directly at Duan Chen, who was speechless, and said.

However, just when everyone thought that Duan Chen would definitely choose to beg for mercy at this time, the latter still stood in place with a calm face, without the slightest intention of speaking.

"Damn, you're a little crazy, give me death!" Looking at Duan Chen, who blatantly didn't put himself in his eyes, Xie Zhen couldn't help but slam his feet on the ground.

Then, with the help of the huge rebound from the ground, Xie Zhen's figure suddenly turned into an afterimage and swept straight towards this side, and on the hard stone surface just now under his feet, there was a crack like a spider's web spreading.
