Back in the dormitory, looking at Qingyuan Dan, who was not a stranger in the cloth bag, just when Duan Chen was about to swallow it in one gulp, suddenly the Blood Pupil Demon Ape stopped him with a look full of retarded eyes.

In the words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, judging from Duan Chen's tendons and veins at this time, if he directly took this Qingyuan Pill, there was a chance that his blood would explode on the spot and die.

Qingyuan Dan, a special pill for martial arts practitioners below the strength of the Silver Dan Realm, can provide practitioners with a strong supply of Yuan Power in a short period of time to help them break through the bottleneck. In the Longyan Dynasty, a Qingyuan Dan could be exchanged for a hundred gold coins.

Listening to the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's explanation, Duan Chen followed the latter's persuasion and temporarily stored it so that he could take it after he had opened up a few more veins.

After putting Qing Yuan Dan down, considering the insurmountable strength gap between himself and Xie Zhen, Duan Chen stayed in the jungle where he had chopped wood almost every day, except for necessary things, and devoted himself to practicing the newly obtained second-rank high-level combat technique Afterimage Strike.

More than two months passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, I saw that in the dense mountain forest, Duan Chen's figure suddenly flashed, and he slammed towards a big tree that was half a person's thickness dozens of meters away.

And at the moment when his figure swept out, he saw several afterimages that were exactly the same as one of them actually appeared on the trajectory he swept out, looking from a distance, as if there were several Duan Chen flying in the forest, which was very weird.

"Boom!"

This situation continued for several seconds, until the big tree fell heavily with a thud, and the several afterimages behind Duan Chen slowly dissipated into the air.

"Now it's just a matter of improving your strength!"

Looking at the afterimage that had dissipated, Duan Chen couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness on his face. Although with his hard work during this period of time, the afterimage attack has been completely mastered by himself.

But what made him extremely depressed was that during this period of time, although the Blood Pupil Demon Ape once again helped him find a lot of herbs to dredge the tendons and veins, but Rao was like this, those tendons and veins in Duan Chen's body still couldn't be opened.

Therefore, although he had reached the peak state of the early stage of Huayuan as early as two months ago, because his muscles and veins were not painful, he had not been able to break through until now, and he still stayed in the previous realm.

"Brother Chen, it turns out that you are here, no wonder I can't find you these days?"

On the top of the big tree, just when Duan Chen was extremely depressed about his current embarrassing situation, suddenly accompanied by a voice like a silver bell, Ling Xiao's figure suddenly appeared in front of Duan Chen.

At this time, Dan saw the girl standing in the wind, her long black hair falling from the top of her head like a waterfall, dancing with the wind, and a suffocating pretty face slowly appeared in Duan Chen's sight.

For a while, Duan Chen, who was looking at Ling Xiao so carefully for the first time in several years, was panicked for some reason after looking at the beautiful eyes on the latter's pretty face, and then hurriedly turned his gaze to the latter's neck to avoid her beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to capture people at any time.

Moving his gaze down, he saw that Ling Xiao was wearing a light white tight-fitting dress today, and because Duan Chen was a little taller than him, it was when his gaze moved down Ling Xiao's snow-white neck.

The latter's twin peaks, which were tightly wrapped in tights, suddenly appeared in Duan Chen's eyes, and what was even worse was that at this time, every time Ling Xiao breathed, the two proud arcs couldn't help but tremble up and down slightly, making people feel the urge to rush forward desperately.

Although he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart, Duan Chen's eyes couldn't help but walk downstream along the girl's unique curve.

His gaze quickly slid over the girl's flat and slender waist, and then a pair of straight and snow-white long legs appeared under the girl's plump and round buttocks, making Duan Chen's gaze reluctant to move half a minute.

"Brother Chen, you, what do you want!" Under the sun, the girl shouted softly to Duan Chen, who was staring directly at her, with a little shyness.

"Ahem, no, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about who marries you in the future, and if I can sleep with you every day, how happy that person must be!"

Suddenly called by the latter, Duan Chen suddenly looked at him with embarrassment on his face and said, but when he said it, he realized that his words seemed to be a little too easy to misunderstand.

Almost at the end of his words, he hurriedly changed his words: "No, Xiao'er, I didn't mean that, I meant to hold you, that is, to simply hold—"

"Didn't you already hug Xiao'er before?" For a while, looking at Duan Chen, who was blushing in the end, Ling Xiao couldn't help but deliberately tease, and at the same time, a voice that almost only she could hear came out of her mouth: "And from that time Xiao'er has sworn that you will only be allowed to sleep alone in this life!"

A trace of shyness crossed his face, looking at Duan Chen, who was choked on the spot by his own words, and his face was even more embarrassed, Ling Xiao chuckled lightly before changing the topic and said, "Have you heard about Xie Zhen's application for a duel to the sect?"

"Well, I heard that!" his palms trembled slightly, and Duan Chen nodded in response after forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that guy to be so annoying, but don't worry, these **** will go to him, if he still dares to embarrass you in Zongbi, I will directly let him not participate in the competition!"

"No, I'll deal with it myself!" Listening to the girl's words, Duan Chen raised his head and looked directly at Ling Xiao and refused. Although he knew in his heart that the latter was for his own good, even she didn't care whether her strength could make any progress.

But as a man, Duan Chen secretly made up his mind in his heart, even if he lost to Xie Zhen at that time, he would never be looked down upon again.

"But, but now it's less than a week before Zongbi, and Xie Zhen still has a second-class combat skill in his hand, you-"

"What, don't you even have confidence in me?" Looking at Ling Xiao, who was full of anxiety and wanted to speak, Duan Chen said after barely squeezing out a smile.

"No, no, Xiao'er has confidence in you, and when the time comes, Xiao'er will personally cheer for you on the sidelines!" Looking at the stubborn man in front of him, Ling Xiao said after gritting his teeth.

"Boy, why do you say this, as long as this little girl comes forward, then Xie Zhen will definitely not dare to disobey, because I feel a familiar fluctuation from her, and the source of that fluctuation, even the current head of your sect does not dare to have the slightest disrespect, you can get this girl's heart, it is really a blessing for the previous generation!"

After Ling Xiao left, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly appeared in front of Duan Chen, and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"You don't talk cool here, if it were you, you wouldn't have made the same decision as me!" Glancing at the Blood Pupil Demon Ape that appeared in front of him, Duan Chen suddenly said with a solemn expression: "The method you said a few days ago, I want to try it!"

"What? You, are you sure you didn't say this in a moment of anger?" Listening to the latter's words, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, who had been looking lazy just now, suddenly asked with a serious face.
