"Brother Chen, don't worry, I won't let you down!" Excitement turned into gratitude and belief, and at this moment, Zhang Han said as if he had suddenly changed into a different person.

Looking at Zhang Han, whose confidence was swelling in front of him, and he was no longer as cowardly and timid as before, a trace of satisfaction suddenly appeared on Duan Chen's face.

And just as Duan Chen looked at Zhang Han with a satisfied face, Ling Xiao, who was on their side, couldn't help but secretly admire Duan Chen's cheekiness in their hearts without blushing when they lied.

Of course, while lamenting the latter's thick skin, Ling Xiao was full of approval and affirmation of Duan Chen's lie from the bottom of his heart.

Because she knows very well that if she wants to really help someone, in addition to simple superficial help, it is more important to help him build up his confidence and hope, because only then can it be said that she has really helped him.

Later, after chatting casually with Zhang Han and the others, Duan Chen took Ling Xiao and walked towards the residence of the head master Meng Hao, although the two of them have now become disciples of the main courtyard, Meng Hao's position in the hearts of the two of them is undoubtedly difficult for anyone to replace.

On the way to Meng Hao's residence, looking at the senior brothers who were constantly nodding and greeting him, Duan Chen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Obviously, compared to everyone's disdain for him before, Duan Chen also understood in his heart that the reason why they were like this now was all because of the sudden increase in their strength.

Thinking about these in his heart, while Duan Chen responded to everyone one by one with a smile on his face, the belief in becoming stronger in his heart became more and more desired, because in this world, strength is respected, and it is an eternal truth at all times.

And if you want to gain the respect of others, then the best and most direct way is undoubtedly to become stronger, stronger, and stronger!

In a rather magnificent house in the north courtyard, when Duan Chen and Ling Xiao's figures appeared in front of Meng Hao, the atmosphere here was not as full of joy of reunion as everyone imagined, but became extremely weird.

I saw that at this time, Meng Hao was sitting upright on a wooden chair, while Duan Chen and Ling Xiao were standing upright in front of him. As a matter of common sense, there is nothing unusual about this.

But if someone looks closely, they will find that Meng Hao, who is sitting on the wooden chair, clearly has a stern face as usual, but there is a trace of satisfaction and relief everywhere between his eyebrows.

From a distance, it feels like a person with a sad face on his face, but his eyebrows are all smiling, which is very awkward.

"Master, if you want to praise us, just praise us, we know that you have been known for being strict with all your disciples all your life, but now that we have become disciples of the main courtyard, not to mention that there are no outsiders here, don't hold on!"

In front of the seat, Ling Xiao, who had always been neither big nor small, said playfully after seeing Meng Hao's extremely incongruous expression at this time. After finishing speaking, she glanced at Duan Chen beside her a few times.

"You, you shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense in the future, it's not big or small, be careful of me-" Although he was quite dissatisfied with Ling Xiao's words in his heart, considering her terrifying background, Meng Hao finally shook his head helplessly and held back the rest of the words.

"Yes, Master, don't hold on, we really want to see if you are not stern-" Under Ling Xiao's gesture, although Duan Chen was a little worried in his heart, he finally opened his mouth to tell the information she had conveyed to him.

"Presumptuous, when did even you become so rude, don't hurry up and retreat before I get angry!"

Looking at Duan Chen, who was now full of confidence, thinking back to the bits and pieces of the past few years, just when the usual majesty on Meng Hao's face was struggling for a few times, and was about to be replaced by endless kindness and comfort, he suddenly waved his big hand and urged the two.

"Poof—"

However, just when Duan Chen and Ling Xiao resisted the urge to laugh and just walked to the door of the house, with a rapid gasp, the two of them finally couldn't hold back and laughed directly.

"You two little rabbit cubs, if you weren't too good, I really want to beat you up!" Looking at the two figures that quickly disappeared at the door with their hands covering their mouths, Meng Hao said to himself in a somewhat reluctant tone after a smile of relief appeared on his face: "But no matter what glory you can achieve in the future, you must always remember to come back and see, because this will always be your home!"

Pleasant time is always short-lived, and in the evening, just when the sunset dragged a colorful glow into the mountains and ravines, the figures of Duan Chen and Ling Xiao had already appeared in the main courtyard. After reluctantly parting, Duan Chen returned to his residence and began his daily compulsory classes and exercises.

A month passed in a flash, and during this period, Duan Chen was even more surprised to find that since he fought with Xie Zhen, especially after being injured by the head of the Southern Courtyard at the last moment, his strength not only did not decrease due to injury, but it was unexpectedly increased a lot.

At this time, feeling the fluctuation of the thick and full Yuan Force in his body, Duan Chen knew that he might have reached the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Transformation Yuan again. Although he was also very surprised by the speed of his progress, it was obvious that no one would refuse such a good thing.

So although he was a little surprised in his heart, Duan Chen still put all his thoughts on breaking through.

But four or five days passed, and Duan Chen finally had to reluctantly accept a reality, that is, he once again encountered the same predicament as before, his muscles and veins were blocked, and his breakthrough was limited.

"Grandma's, if only I still had a Qingyuan Pill now!" After the breakthrough failed again, Duan Chen finally threw himself on the bed helplessly and sighed.

"Stupid guy, now with the growth of your strength, I'm afraid that one is no longer enough, not to mention that with your character, you can't open your mouth to ask them, but don't forget that there is me. The red light flashed, and the figure of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly appeared in Duan Chen's mind.

"Do you have a way?" A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared on his face, but when Duan Chen thought of what happened to the iron-backed bear last time, he couldn't help but say with disdain: "You won't want to push me into the fire pit again, if it wasn't for the vine trees last time, maybe I would have been killed by you a long time ago!"

"And, is it possible that the character of my Blood Pupil Demon Ape in your heart, oh no, is it really that bad if it is an ape?" Duan Chen glanced at Duan Chen with dissatisfaction, and then the Blood Pupil Demon Ape continued: "Don't worry, I have secretly investigated and clarified in the past few days, and the highest foreign beast there is only in the early stage of the Transformation Yuan, and I assure you that that treasure is definitely much more effective than a Qingyuan Pill." ”

The next day, under the urging of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, Duan Chen finally walked towards a cave under the main peak of Yunmeng Mountain according to his command.
