Chapter 9: Hope Rekindled

At noon the next day, Chen Ze woke up in a bathtub filled with cold water.

After he licked the potion a few times yesterday, his whole body was like a fire, not only his muscles and internal organs, but even the depths of his bone marrow seemed to be burning.

Subsequently, although the enthusiasm of the cultivation guidance technique and the breathing method had faded slightly, the condition of the pillar of optimism in the lower body still did not improve.

How to say it, Chen Ze's state at that time was probably not much better than Teddy in estrus, always thinking about rubbing and rubbing, and then really wanted to shoot something......

Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind, and after barely controlling himself, he poured all the ice stored in the refrigerator into the bathtub, and then lay down inside and tried to enter a meditative state.

Finally entered a meditative state, and it didn't take long for Chen Ze to fall asleep in the two heavens of ice and fire, and then ......

Then I didn't wake up until noon today!

"Hoo ......"

Chen Ze, who was wearing only a pair of pants, sat in the bathtub, thinking about yesterday's scene, and sighed, but he still couldn't help but have palpitations.

"The effect of that potion is a bit too strong, I just licked a few bites...... Not ......"

Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Ze's face turned pale, and said: "It's not that the effect of the medicine is too strong, I have almost digested the effect of the medicine after more than three hours of cultivation of the Channeling Technique yesterday, the reason why that happened should be due to the side effects of those substitute medicinal materials, or ......"

"It's a little bit of a problem with the fusion of those alternative herbs. ”

The test in the following days also proved that Chen Ze's conjecture was not wrong, after exchanging for several alternative medicinal materials with relatively low efficacy, although the effect of the prepared medicine was weakened to a certain extent, the side effects were also relatively reduced.

With Chen Ze's current soul strength, it was still enough to resist the faint desires attached to this elixir.

After the new potion that was becoming more perfect was finally successfully configured, Chen Ze also began to take the medicine with confidence, hoping to step into a higher level.

Take potions, cultivate...... After taking the potion and then cultivating, more than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Ze was also promoted to an official knight extremely smoothly in these days.

Trainee Knight, Formal Knight, and Grand Knight, these are the only three levels of knighthood.

Strength, speed, flexibility, and other aspects can only be called the pinnacle of probationary knighthood, and the official knight ......

It is equivalent to raising the upper limit of the body to reach another theoretical limit!

This is a real qualitative change!

Although Chen Ze's appearance did not change much after he was promoted, he stood on the electronic scale and weighed it, and found that his original weight of 68 kilograms had now become 78 kilograms.

What does it prove that you have gained a full ten kilograms of weight without changing your appearance?

It proves that the internal structure of Chen Ze's body has changed greatly!

His muscles, tendons, internal organs, bones...... The density, precision, and strength of all the structures in his body have been enhanced several times.

To this end, Chen Ze also made a specific test......

Now he can take a deep breath and stay underwater for seven or eight minutes, he can punch a big hole in a concrete wall with one punch, he can easily lift a weight of three or four tons, he can jump over a wall more than two meters high for a distance without using his hands, he can even go in less than five seconds for a 100-meter sprint, not to mention all other things.

It was only at this moment that Chen Ze felt that he had truly distanced himself from the ordinary people of modern society.

............

Sometime in mid-October......

Chen Ze, who was good at steady knight cultivation, suddenly interrupted his practice for two days and made a special trip to Kyoto.

"Chen Ze, why did you come to Kyoto all of a sudden?"

When Chen Ze was holding an umbrella for the girl he was holding to prevent the sun from being exposed, the girl, that is, Hao Chan, asked slightly sideways.

"What else do you think I'm going to do? Of course, I'm here to catch the traitor!" Chen Ze said.

"Huh, what?" Hao Chan didn't understand Chen Ze's brain circuit for a while.

Chen Ze pretended to be serious, stretched out his hand to pinch Hao Chan's face, and pretended to be angry: "Why is the girl who came out with you so close to you......?

"Why didn't I find out that you still have the potential to become Lala before?" Chen Ze's tone gradually changed to urgency when he said this.

"Huh?"

Hao Chan had a question mark on her face, and after a while, she suddenly reacted, rolled her eyes and swept away Chen Ze's hand, and said with a slight puff out: "Get out of the way......"

After speaking, he pedaled a few steps and ran away for two or three meters.

"Okay, Xiaochan......"

Chen Ze snickered, although he knew that Hao Chan was not angry and was pretending, he still hurriedly stepped forward to catch up with her and explained, "Just kidding." ”

Holding Hao Chan's hand, he continued: "Xiaochan, I came to Kyoto this time just to do one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Hao Chan looked sideways at Chen Ze, but at this moment......

Not far ahead, a boy who was playing fancy skateboarding suddenly didn't stand firmly, and the soles of his feet slipped towards Hao Chan's location.

Chen Ze's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly pulled Hao Chan into his arms.

"Ah......h......h

Hao Chan's screams rang out at the same time as the boy fell to the ground.

"What's going on......" Hao Chan turned her head to look aside.

The boy stood up with bared teeth, looked at Chen Ze and Hao Chan, scratched his head and said, "Classmate, I'm sorry, my foot slipped just now, and I almost hit you." ”

"Nothing ......"

Chen Ze smiled, glanced at Hao Chan, and replied, "Didn't you bump into it?" ”

After speaking, Chen Ze picked up the skateboard that the boy had slipped to his feet and handed it to him, and after receiving two words of "thank you", he continued to walk with Hao Chan to the school gate.

"Okay, now it's time to tell me why you're here in Kyoto, right?"

At the school gate, after the two boarded the taxi, Hao Chan remembered the topic just now and asked again.

Chen Ze hugged her waist, scraped her nose, and said with a smile: "Little glutton, why don't you even remember your birthday?"

"My birthday?"

Hao Chan was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Chen Ze with the eyes of a fool, and said helplessly: "It's my birthday the day after tomorrow, Chen Ze, Chen Dugua, you shouldn't even remember my birthday wrongly, right?"

"How could I be mistaken?"

The corners of Chen Ze's mouth twitched, and he quickly returned to his original state, and said secretly in his heart: ", I'm embarrassed." On the surface, he remained silent and said with a smile: "It's not like I'm going to go gliding and mountaineering with Song Xiaopang in a few days, thinking about it sooner rather than later, and celebrating your birthday today." ”

"Sooner or later?"

Hao Chan glanced at Chen Ze, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Okay, only you stupid melon can think like this." ”

With an embarrassed but graceful smile, Chen Ze didn't say anything more.

............

The two got off at a commercial street near Hao Chan's graduate university.

Birthday, it stands to reason that eating a birthday cake and blowing out candles is the most important, and Chen Ze has already booked a place in a restaurant on this street, but now that the meal has not arrived, the two have to do another thing first.

"Xiaochan, I didn't have time to celebrate your birthday last year, and this year I think I have to make up for it......"

Chen Ze pulled Hao Chan towards a jewelry store, and said as he walked, "Let's go, let's go in and choose a birthday gift for you." ”

"Alas, this stupid ......"

Hao Chan sighed secretly in her heart, shook her head helplessly, but was dragged into the jewelry store by Chen Ze.

This jewelry store is located near the university, doing business for young people, and there are very few gold jewelry in the store, after all, most young people nowadays are not very interested in gold, relatively speaking, diamond, platinum, and silver jewelry are more popular.

"Xiaochan, come here to see ......"

Chen Ze pulled Hao Chan to the platinum area on the side, pointed to a certain necklace on the counter, and said, "What do you think of this?"

"It's okay......"

Hao Chan felt that the appearance was okay, but after looking at the price, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "It's just too expensive." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, you just like it. ”

Chen Ze smiled at her, and then said to the counter lady, "Can you take out this necklace and take a look?"

"Okay. ”

"Wait......" As soon as the counter lady's voice fell, Chen Ze's face suddenly changed for some reason, and his eyes quickly turned to the corner of the counter on the other side.

"Chen Ze ......"

Hao Chan was keenly aware of the change in Chen Ze's expression, patted his arm, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Ze's body suddenly became agitated, and he reacted suddenly, and said with a smile: "No, it's nothing ......"

But just as he was saying this, Chen Ze's heart set off a storm in an instant, because in the corner of the counter on the other side, he sensed something that he hadn't thought of anyway, and that was ......

Magic!

An extremely noticeable wave of magical power!

The moment Chen Ze sensed this fluctuation of magic power, his mind instantly turned a thousand times, and countless thoughts appeared.

He certainly knows what it means to him.

A powerful soul, the traces of perceptual rules, he does not lack any of these, it is precisely because of the lack of demons on the earth that he was forced to give up the extraordinary path of wizards, which is truly almost as powerful as heaven and earth, and thus turned into a "pseudo-extraordinary" knight cultivation.

Now, he sensed this extremely obvious fluctuation of magical power!

This means that his hope of becoming a wizard has not been completely extinguished, and it means that he finally has the opportunity to master the power of heaven and earth like a god, which means...... Many, much more.

Chen Ze didn't know what kind of feeling he was feeling now, he only knew......

A flame called hope rekindled in my heart!
