With a plan in his heart, Zhuang Yichen did not delay much. After breakfast, he said hello to everyone and went straight back to his room.

After this tense battle along the way, Zhuang Yichen's slightly vain realm has been completely stabilized. Back in the room, he calmed down and savored all the experiences he had had along the way. By the time the memories flashed through his mind like a movie, his state of mind had become completely unwavering, sad and joyless.

In this state of mind, the third magic crystallization that was about to condense in his body flickered, and bursts of brilliance stirred up waves in the source of his magic power.

Zhuang Yichen picked up the giant bear's magic crystal, and then the spiritual power extended and slowly absorbed it. The strength of the magic power contained in this magic crystal was even stronger than the previous monitor lizard magic crystal, and as he began to refine, streams of pure and surging magic power continued to pour out of it and enter Zhuang Yichen's body.

That massive amount of magic power was refined, and as soon as it entered the source of his magic power, it instantly set off a stormy wave in his dantian! I saw that the third magic power crystal that had not yet been condensed was shining brightly, and it began to swallow the magic power.

Time passed little by little, Zhuang Yichen just calmly controlled the speed of magic refining, and the others were laissez-faire. When the magic crystals absorbed enough mana, they naturally began to solidify little by little. The process is as easy as eating and drinking, and there are no obstacles. The layer of diaphragm that had blocked Zhuang Yichen's breakthrough before also disappeared.

Accumulate steadily. If you accumulate enough, you will naturally be able to see the results. Half an hour later, the third magic crystallization shook suddenly, and then completely broke free from the shackles and appeared in Zhuang Yichen's source of magic power. With the appearance of this third mana crystal, the source of his mana instantly formed a tiny but complete cycle. The three magic crystals are finished in the shape of words, surrounding the small lake condensed by pure magic power at the bottom, endlessly, repeating itself.

As soon as this cycle appeared, Zhuang Yichen's mind suddenly shook, and an inexplicable realization suddenly rose. It turns out that this is the realm of a three-star mage. The magic lasts for a long time, and the spirit is strong and flexible. He opened his eyes, and a bone spur was condensed in his hand, and the magic formation that he could only release and could not understand was now clearly displayed in his mind.

Three-star mage, this is a qualitative breakthrough, and only three magic crystals can truly form a continuous cycle. broke through the realm, but Zhuang Yichen's heart was still calm. He stood up and clenched his fist slightly. Then his mind moved, and he came directly to the Tower of the Dead.

This time, the magic inheritance lit up again, Zhuang Yichen checked it, and then directly selected three magics. Teleportation, the Bone Cage, and the advanced magic of the Scythe of Death, the Grim Reaper has descended.

Needless to say, teleportation, it is because of this spatial magic that the Sinking Mage has such a strong survivability ability. And such a powerful control magic as the White Bone Cage, when Zhuang Yichen is not lacking in offensive means now, is the most needed. The Grim Reaper can summon the Grim Reaper's Phantom to exist for a period of time to assist in the battle, and this alone is also a must. As for the other magic, they are not as practical as these three, and the amount of inheritance is limited, so they have to give up.

Walked out of the room, and it was exactly noon. This time, because the accumulation is rich enough, and the foundation is solid enough. Therefore, the breakthrough came smoothly, and the qualitative sublimation was completed after just a morning of retreat.

The three-day rest period was mainly to wait for the wounded in the team to fully recover from their injuries. Now that the realm has broken through, Zhuang Yichen is completely idle. It was also uncomfortable to stay in the gloomy interior of the mountain, so Zhuang Yichen simply walked out of the camp and walked outside casually.

In addition to the hidden part of the mountain, this military base has a manned station on the outside, but it is small, with only one playground and a few barracks. As soon as he came out of the cave, a gunshot rang out from the camp outside. Zhuang Yichen walked over, but happened to see Captain Liu shooting a handjob target on the playground.

He shoots very slowly, and there are no fancy scenes in the movies. It's just a standard shooting posture that can't be standardized, but on a fixed target of 60 meters, the gun is in the middle of the ten rings.

"Good marksmanship." Zhuang Yichen saw him finish a round, and then walked over and exclaimed.

Captain Liu turned around and handed him the gun in his hand.

"Why don't you try it too?"

"Okay." Zhuang Yichen took the gun. The pistol is a May Fourth type that has been basically retired, but there are many people in the army who like this pistol, just like the US military, and after more than 100 years, there are still people who love this simple and crude design.

Zhuang Yichen also has a soft spot for the May Fourth style. After all, at the beginning of the apocalypse, he eliminated the first Sinking Demon by relying on a Wusi style that lacked a crosshair, which was his starting point. Until now, that gun still exists in Zhuang Yichen's storage space.

He took the gun and fired a few shots, but the results were not satisfactory, and he only barely missed the target.

"Haha, I'll give it to you, I won't be ugly." After firing a magazine, Zhuang Yichen returned the gun to Captain Liu with a smile. He took the gun and pressed the bullets one at a time.

The afternoon sun is clean and bright, and the weather at the end of February, there are already traces of spring everywhere in the mountains of Sichuan and Shu. Captain Liu pressed the last bullet into the magazine, and then suddenly said to Zhuang Yichen: "Can I ask you something." ”

"Why are you so polite, just say it." Zhuang Yichen smiled and went back directly. Along the way, he can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms who has carried a gun in the trench. And he thinks that Captain Liu is also quite angry with himself.

"I also have a daughter in Kyoto, named Liu Zixuan, then, this is her photo." As he spoke, he took out a small leather bag from his pocket, and then took out a photograph from the compartment of the leather bag. "I divorced her mother early, and I haven't had time to spend more time with her since I was a child, so I can't let go of this one thing now."

Zhuang Yichen had already guessed what he was going to say, and he looked at the photo. The girl in the photo is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with gentle and delicate facial features, and a faint elegance and dignity like his father between her eyebrows and eyes.

"You also know the details of this mission, you are about to enter the mountain, and no one can say what will be on the road behind. So, I wanted to ......"

"Stop. Don't mention this topic again. Zhuang Yichen directly interrupted him, "It's not time to explain the future, why are you destroying your prestige so much!" ”
