Chapter 3: Shenwu Continent

The two moons are hanging in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.

On the top of the cliff, Liao Chao was lying on the grass, holding Erlang's legs, shaking his ankles regularly...

"Nima..."

remembered that he was beaten by Ming Jian during the day, and Liao Chao scolded in a low voice.

Since I was a child, I have never suffered such a crime, and I was scolded and beaten.

"Strength..."

I heard that the other party also refined the body sixfold, why was he almost powerless in front of him, and he was beaten like a dog!

If it weren't for the kick that was kicked intentionally or unintentionally, ending this one-sided abuse ahead of schedule, I'm afraid Liao Chao would really not be able to stand and talk tomorrow.

"This is a world where strength is respected..."

Remembering what Caidie said to herself, Liao Chao searched her head for some vague information about this world.

This world is a vast continent called the Shenwu Continent.

The martial arts civilization on the mainland has developed to the peak point, and the cultivation of martial arts is closely related to the daily life of human beings.

Because of the extreme reproduction of martial arts, countless martial arts cultivation methods have evolved, and the so-called hands are long and short, and the evolved martial arts cultivation methods are naturally strong and weak.

The Shenwu Continent divides the levels of martial arts cultivation exercises into low-level exercises, from low to high: low-level exercises, middle-level exercises, high-level exercises, and top-level exercises!

The level of martial arts cultivation is an important factor in determining the level of future achievement.

For example, under the same conditions, a person who cultivates an intermediate level of exercises will practice much faster than a person who practices a lower level of exercises.

Cultivating at a fast speed means that you can go further in cultivation.

In the Shenwu Continent, the distinction between strength and weakness depends on three conditions.

The first, and most important, is naturally its own strength.

If your own strength is only in the early stage of a martial artist, then even if you are cultivating a top-level peerless martial art, it is impossible to defeat a martial artist who cultivates low-level exercises, the difference in strength is too great, and no matter how good the exercises you cultivate, it will be in vain.

The second is the exercises!

For cultivators of the same realm, if your cultivation is much more advanced than that of the other party, then when you fight, you can know all kinds of advantages and disadvantages at a touch.

The third type is called martial arts!

Obviously, this is a special skill that exerts Yuan Force, and martial arts are also divided into four levels: low-level, medium-level, high-level, and top-level.

In the Shenwu Continent, whether it is exercises or martial arts, there are countless of them, but most of the popular exercises and martial arts that are generally circulated outside are only low-level, and if you want to obtain more advanced exercises and martial arts, you must join some martial arts families, sects, or martial arts cultivation academies.

Of course, there are also some exercises and martial arts left by predecessors who rely on adventures, and that is personal creation.

According to these three conditions, in addition to the innate talent limitations, roughly speaking, if you can obtain high-level exercises and martial arts, the benefits are self-evident.

The Shenwu Continent has a vast territory and is full of ethnic groups.

There is a vast ice field in the north, and in that bitter cold land, there lives a savage and powerful blue-blooded clan.

At the end of the east side is the endless ocean, which is another world different from the mainland, and it is said that it is the world of the deep-sea dragon clan.

To the west is the Drifting Fire Desert, a barren land where very few people can cross the Driftfire Desert, not because there is no water, but because there are many strange dangers in the desert.

To the south, there is the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, which stretches for 100,000 miles, which is the world of demon beasts and a paradise for adventurers.

At the same time, the Shenwu Continent is also a continent full of opportunities and miracles!

Secret realms, ruins, as long as you are strong enough and have excellent luck, you may collide with rare opportunities from them, so as to achieve a legend of the supreme powerhouse.

If you want to become a powerful martial artist, the premise is to awaken the martial arts first, and the awakening of the martial arts is based on the physical physique being strong enough.

This is what any martial artist wants to experience - refining the body ninefold!

A cultivator's body is like a bucket, and Yuan Li is water.

Before using a bucket of water, you have to make sure that the bucket is qualified, at least not leaky, otherwise it will be in vain for you to use this bucket for a lifetime.

The process of refining the body is the process of strengthening the barrel and keeping the barrel from leaking, laying the foundation for the subsequent filling of water.

As for how much water this bucket can hold, it depends on the shortcomings of the bucket.

Some people's shortcomings are due to their lack of cultivation qualifications, after all, not everyone has a clear skeleton, and not everyone is suitable for cultivation.

Some people's shortcomings are that the level of cultivation is too low, which is the shortcoming of most cultivators.

Some people's shortcomings are that the will of martial arts is not strong enough, to put it simply, they are too lazy, and their cultivation is so boring and boring, it is better to have fun in time.

......

Body refining is to lay the foundation for the awakening of martial arts, and when the body refining reaches the ninth level of the Great Perfection, you can choose to practice the exercises, try to awaken the martial arts, and become a martial artist!

However, there are also legends that there are some races with blood against the sky, and they can awaken martial arts as soon as they are born, but that is only a legend, and it has not appeared for thousands of years.

Of course, all of this is still a long way from the current chaos...

"Whew..."He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, and Liao Chao resisted the urge to jump up and point at the sky.

"God, your uncle, do you wear Lao Tzu as a waste material to play with?"

In his previous life, Liao Chao was a faithful atheist, and if anyone told him that one day he would travel to a completely different world, then he would definitely scold that person for being insane, and he must have read too many fantasy novels!

However, when he found out that this nonsense happened to him, the "three views" of the chaos were completely ruined!

Calm down the agitated mood, Liao Chao is no longer too complaining, although the body of this life is only a fifteen-year-old boy, but the soul of Liao Chao is highly educated, real adults!

He knows what to do and what not to do, and since it has become a fact, he can't change it, so try to accept it calmly!

The most important thing now is to integrate yourself into the world first, and Liao Chao knows very well why he can face so many insults and ridicule during the day, but he is so calm.

Because he looks at all this with the mentality of a bystander, which is sometimes good, but it is not a long-term solution, after all, he still has to live in this world.

Since he swallowed his predecessor's soul and occupied this body in order to survive, he should bear some responsibilities!

After figuring this out, I found a lamp in confusion, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure!

"Who ?..."

Liao Chao sat up suddenly, turned his head, and shouted into the dark woods.

Due to the fusion of the relationship between the previous soul, the soul of Liao Chao seemed to have strengthened a lot without knowing it, much stronger than ordinary people, and his perception was extremely keen, and he noticed a trace of movement in the woods!

"It's me!"

In the woods, after a moment of silence, a middle-aged man's voice was heard.

The branches shook, and a middle-aged man jumped out of it, frowning, and at the moment he saw the chaos, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, with self-blame, expectation, sadness, and doting...

The middle-aged man was dressed in black, and his brows were often furrowed, making it easy to see that there was a depression in his heart that could not be dissipated.

Between the thick and jet-black hair, those strands of white hair are extremely eye-catching, adding a bit of vicissitudes to it!

This person is none other than his predecessor's father, the cheap father of Liao Chao in this life, Liao Mingdao!

"Why are you here?"

Looking at the middle-aged man, Liao Chao hurriedly stood up, with a strange look on his face.

He failed to call out the "father", although he figured out that he wanted to integrate into the world, but he has not yet fully entered the play, and it is impossible to call him Dad by just someone.

"I heard Caidie say, you're coming to the back mountain!"

Stepping forward lightly, Liao Mingdao's frowning brows seemed to be tightened, and he didn't pay too much attention to Liao Chao not calling his father.

Come to think of it, since that incident, for so many years, Liao Chao has never called him "father" again.

"During the day, Liao Jian's father came to me and said that you used the next three indiscriminate means and almost kicked his son to waste!"

Looking at Liao Chao, whose face was bruised and swollen, and he almost couldn't even recognize himself, Liao Mingdao's anger that he had held back because of anger also disappeared.

turned into a long sigh in my heart: When other people's children suffer losses outside, they will find adults to administer justice, and their own son is obviously bullied, and he doesn't even complain to himself, he has an unshirkable responsibility as a father, do you want to reprimand him again?

Liao Chao secretly said in his heart that this was the case, but he didn't explain anything, and he didn't know what to say.

I have been beaten into a pig's head, do you still have to admit my mistake?

"Hey..."

Liao Mingdao sighed, no longer dwelling on this matter, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Chao'er, you are fifteen years old, right?!"

"Yes!" Liao was stunned for a moment.

I don't know why my cheap dad suddenly talked about this, just in terms of physical age, he is indeed fifteen years old.

"In another year, it's time to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for you..."Liao Mingdao said a little lonely.

"Rite of passage?" Liao Chao's heart tightened slightly, and information about the rite of passage quickly turned out in his head.

The rite of passage, to put it bluntly, is a test at the age of sixteen.

After all, anyone who does not become a martial artist before the age of twenty-five will not be recognized by the family, and will also remove the surname and call him by his name alone!

What does that mean? That is, if Liao Chao did not become a warrior before the age of twenty-five, then he would not be qualified to be surnamed Liao, and in the future he could only be called: Chao! Even if it is the patriarch's own grandson, he will not be able to change it!

"There is still a year to go, if you don't reach the seventh level of body refining, your grandfather can only divide you into the family industry, although your grandfather is the patriarch, but he is not alone in charge, and the old guys of the Elders' Council are not idle!" Looking at the Liao Chao with a blue nose and swollen face, Liao Mingdao sighed.

"I see..." Liao Chao said calmly.

"It's good that you understand it yourself..."Liao Mingdao turned his head to look at the night sky, and he was also very helpless in his heart.

Liao slapped the grass clippings on his buttocks and said, "It's not early, then I'll go back to rest." ”

"Well, let's go back quickly!" Liao Mingdao nodded.

Liao Chao had just taken a few steps, and his father's voice came from behind him.

"Don't be beaten into a pig's head in the future... That's the kick!"

Liao Chao turned his head and showed a smile at his father Liao Mingdao, and said, "You should also go back to rest early..."

After Liao Chao left.

Liao Mingdao stood on the cliff with his hands in his hands, and the moonlight fell on his slightly lonely figure, pulling out a long shadow.

"Alas..."Liao Mingdao sighed, the incident eight years ago is still vivid, as if it happened yesterday, her reluctant eyes, her son's heart-rending shout, and his powerlessness to fight back tormented him all the time.

"Mess with him... Wan'er, maybe just like you said, there are no magnificent waves, no swords and swords, just like this, living a peaceful life, is not a kind of happiness!"

......

On the bed.

Liao Chao held his head in his hands, lying on the bed into a "big" character, his eyes were out of focus, and his thoughts were flying in his head.

"There's still a year to go..."Liao's mind was still immersed in the conversation with his cheap daddy.

If during the coming-of-age ritual test, he really didn't reach the seventh level of body refining, and was assigned by his family to a poor country, or even those poor mountains and bad waters, how miserable would it be.

Judging from the current situation, there is no such thing as if, it is certain!

Let's not talk about the Liao chaos and continue to squirm, even if the prodigal son of the Liao eldest young master turns back, he will cultivate hard in the next few days, and in a year's time, he will be promoted from the third level of body refining to the seventh level, which is difficult to compare to the sky!

Think about the hard work of people who have practiced for more than ten years, and they can refine the body five or sixth, and those who have excellent qualifications can reach the seventh or eighth level, and those who reach the ninth level of refining before the age of sixteen become adults are definitely geniuses and have excellent qualifications!

If you tell someone now that you want to refine your body and improve the fourfold in a year's time, then that person will definitely tell you: You think too much! Because that can't be described as a genius, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a demon.

Now there are only two paths in front of the chaos.

The first is to adhere to the policy of the predecessor to the end, and comfortably give the young master this year a real thing, enjoy it when it is time to enjoy it, and still have to be a gentleman when it is time to be a gentleman, and then after the coming-of-age ceremony, he was arranged by the family to work as a coolie in the poor countryside, and there is no day to turn over.

The second is to change the mistakes of the predecessor, uphold the outstanding spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, and work hard to cultivate in a way that is almost self-harming, and impact the sevenfold body refinement, of course, the possibility of success is very low, but at least I have worked hard.

In addition to these two roads, Liao Chao can't think of a third way, of course, taking a kitchen knife to wipe the neck is also a road, if you can be sure to cross it again, you can consider it.

The first plan, Liao Chao vetoed it without even thinking about it!

In his previous life, although he was not an angry youth, he was extremely uninterested in the kind of second ancestor who sat and waited for death, and now he was asked to live the life of that kind of person, even if it was only for one year, which was also unacceptable.

That is only the road of struggle of blood and fire, this is also a path that Liao Chao has long recognized in his heart, he was still in the ivory tower in his previous life, and he ended his life in a bizarre way before he had time to show any ambitions.

In this life, no matter what, something has to be left, even if it is the back of a hard struggle, write a sentence in this other world: If you come here in chaos on the earth, you will not be in vain as a human being!

The path to be taken has been chosen, and the next thing to consider is how to go down.

Considering that his predecessor's reputation in the family is too stinky, and his popularity is also very poor, Liao Chao wants to change, and it is not wise to stay in the family, so he decided to go out to practice, there is a good saying: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Unfortunately, the predecessor's footprints never stepped out of the fifty-mile range of Qionghua City, which made Liao Chao despise him and feel helpless at the same time, he knew nothing about the outside world.

If he were to go on a training trip, his ex's memories would not provide him with any information about the outside world.

It seems that he must make up for this knowledge in the shortest possible time, after all, time is pressing!

Thinking about it, before I knew it, Liao Chao fell asleep.

The next day, there was no need for the butterfly to call, so Liao Chao got up early, and after a simple breakfast, he went straight to the family's library.

The library is very quiet, few people come, this is not surprising, everyone is busy cultivating, except for the occasional come to check some information, where is the time to come here to read idle books?

The liao chaos is also happy and quiet.,Stay in the library all day to read.,Even skipping lunch.。

After three days in a row, she finally caught Caidie's attention and reported this strange thing to her father, Liao Mingdao.

"You said he went to the library for three days in a row, and as soon as he went in, he didn't come out for a whole day?" Liao Mingdao said in surprise.

"Yes, since the young master woke up in a coma a few days ago, it has changed a lot, and the young master was really sick last time before he fell into a coma, at that time his forehead was very hot and hot, not pretending to be sick!"

Caidie also told everything she knew.

"Then why didn't you come to tell me?"

Liao Mingdao frowned, in fact, he also guessed it, and he knew it from Liao Chao to participate in the test.

"I wanted to tell you at the time, but the young master didn't let me, nor did he let me invite Langzhong, he survived by himself!" Caidie lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Alas...... Okay, I know, you go down!" Liao Mingdao sighed, when he talked to Liao Chao on the cliff that night, he felt the change in Liao Chao, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"What kind of play is this kid playing this time? Don't poke out a big basket with me!hehe..."

Liao Mingdao attributed the fleeting thought in his heart to that he had thought too much, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

On the fifth day, Liao Chao didn't go straight to the library for the first time, but found Caidie first and handed her a list.

"Sister Caidie, can you help me purchase these things?"

"Water bags, dry food, tents, maps, steel daggers, insect repellent powder, gold sore medicine... Young Master, what do you want these things for? Do you want to go out?" Caidie looked at the things on the list, and her eyes flashed in confusion.

"Uh... Sort of, can you buy it?" said Liao Chao, rubbing the back of his head.

This is the list of items he needs based on his experience of going out and hiking in his previous life, and synthesizing the information he has learned in the library in the past few days.

"Yes, yes, but..."Caidie wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just what?"

"It's just... The items on this list add up to about five hundred gold coins, and although I have saved some money over the years, it is far from enough!" Caidie hesitated for a moment and said.

"Oh... How did you forget Brother Kong Fang's stubble!"

Liao Chao slapped his head, and then flipped through the memory of how much money he still had.

"That's... Young master, you don't have to think about it, as soon as this month's regular money is issued, it will be used up by you on the same day!"

"Hehe... How do you know?" Liao smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he was scolding his predecessor for being a loser.

"Hehe..."Butterfly covered her mouth and chuckled.

"The way of the world has changed, and the way of money has not changed..."

Liao Chao said with emotion, and sighed in his heart, it seemed that the first favor he had come to this world was about to be owed, and he thought of borrowing money.

borrowed money, and the first thing Liao Chao thought of was the fox friends of his predecessor in his memory, but he immediately vetoed it.

The predecessor completed the "feat" of "moonlight" in one day, and his fox friends and dog friends can be said to have contributed a lot, and Liao Chao didn't think that he could borrow money from them, and his predecessor's previous situation illustrated this very well.

"It seems that I can only ask my cheap dad to ask for money!"

Liao Chao secretly said in his heart: "However, I will pay it back..."

Next, Liao Chao went directly to his father Mingdao and asked for a thousand gold coins, he didn't want to delay this matter, and it was only a few days since he left.

And his father gave him a thousand gold coins without asking, which was unexpected by Liao.
