In this way, Zhao Shan and his party practiced repeatedly at the bottom of Dingtian Pavilion for a month. Except for the normal time of rest and eating, none of them relaxed their cultivation.

On this day, Mu Zheng sat cross-faced, but he didn't close his eyes as usual, because he had reached the illusion realm, he could already see that someone would break through the first order today.

Suddenly, a small light and shadow erupted from Zhao Shan's eyebrows. Frightened, Mu Zheng was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at Zhao Shan and muttered softly in his heart: Black, this kid turned out to be a black attribute soul. He rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that what he was seeing was real. But the reality was in front of him, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Get up and go out immediately. The other students didn't see the scene just now, but closed their eyes tightly and practiced separately, and several of them were also preparing to break through to the next level.

At this time, Zhao Shan took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath. I stretched my waist and felt much more comfortable. I'm more energetic than before. This is the promotion, Zhao Shan experienced the pleasure of upgrading for the first time.

On the other end of the chamber, Mu Zheng relayed what he had just seen to Elder Chen. Elder Chen was also taken aback, and said:

Are you sure you read that right, that kid's soul attribute is black?

Mu Zheng patted his chest and said it was true.

This matter must not be reviled to the outside world, the castle lord is now in retreat, and only you know and know about this matter. Except for the lord of the castle, he can't let anyone in the castle know. Otherwise, Zhao Shan and the entire Dingtian Fort will be wiped out. Elder Chen said solemnly.

Yes, Elder, I promise I won't let a third person know.

Well, from today onwards, Zhao Shan will practice with me.

Elder Chen, this is not in line with the rules, Mu Zheng said helplessly.

The gauge distance is dead, the person is alive, and the special situation of Tezhu is dealt with, you can bring Zhao Shan over later. Mu Zheng had no choice but to nod silently.

When I returned to Dingtian Pavilion, I saw the teacher come in, Cheng Hu and a few other students ran over and said, "Teacher Mu, I have been promoted, teacher, I have also been promoted." Several people gossiped to Mu Zheng to report the good news of their promotion. Mu Zheng nodded at them, and then motioned for them to sit down.

Then he said to Zhao Shan, who was sitting on the side: Zhao Shan, you come out with the teacher.

Zhao Shan got up inexplicably, patted his buttocks, and walked behind the teacher. The other students were also surprised when they saw this scene in front of them.

After a while, Mu Zheng brought Zhao Shan to the council hall. Elder Chen looked at Zhao Shan carefully. Then motioned for Mu Zheng to step back.

After half a ring, Elder Chen spoke: "Zhao Shan, from today onwards, you don't need to practice in Dingtian Pavilion, you will follow me to practice in the back mountain in the future." And the fact that your soul attribute is black must not be told to others, not anyone. You can do that.

Zhao Shan nodded blankly and said, "Don't worry, Elder Chen, I can do it."

Elder Chen continued, "I know you want to ask why, but the time is not yet ripe, and I will rely on you when you have cultivated to a certain level. Telling you now is nothing more than a burden to you, and there is absolutely no benefit. Now I'm going to give you three days off, and after three days you're going to be in retreat with me for a year. You can't leave the back mountain for a year. Elder Chen said seriously and rigorously.

Zhao Shan nodded helplessly. Looking at Elder Chen's expression, Zhao Shan knew that this matter was non-negotiable, so he had no choice but to nod. After Elder Chen explained some other things, Zhao Shan left Dingtian Fort and walked towards the inn where the black bull lived.

When Hei Niu saw Zhao Shan coming, he went out to greet him with a smile on his face, looking at Zhao Shan who was much more energetic than he was more than a month ago. After shuddering a few words, he asked, "I didn't have any trouble in the fort."

Zhao Shan shook his head, everything was fine in the castle. I'm here to tell you that I'm going to be in retreat with Elder Chen for a year. So Uncle Hei Niu, you can go back to Fengxi Village. I'll go back to see you guys as soon as I can. Say hello to Grandpa and Sister Zilan for me.

You kid can, as soon as you enter Dingtian Fort, you will retreat with Elder Chen, and you will be very blessed. After saying that, the black bull laughed.

Zhao Shan had no choice but to smile bitterly and nod in response.

I will tell the old village chief Wu for you, and you have to take care of yourself.

Uncle Hei Niu, I will, you have to take care of yourself. After speaking, the two hugged each other and said their final goodbyes.

When Zhao Shan returned to the castle, he went to find Cheng Hu and Xue Yun. It just so happened that they came out of the Dingtian Pavilion and were about to go to dinner. When they met Zhao Shan, they walked towards Zhao Shan and said:

Zhao Shan, what did the teacher call you out, why didn't you come to practice later.

Zhao Shan scratched the back of his head and said, I can't tell you this for a while.

Cheng Hu patted Zhao Shan's shoulder and said: Zhao Shan, do you still regard us as friends, do you have something to hide from us.

Of course we're friends, and we're good friends. Zhao Shan hurriedly responded. I have a last resort, and there are many things that I don't know myself. Zhao Shan said with an aggrieved face.

Xue Yun looked at Zhao Shan's aggrieved face and also helped to play the round. Okay, let's not embarrass Zhao Shan. Since we are friends, let's not be suspicious of each other. If you can tell us, you will tell us.

Xue Yun is still reasonable~~ Haha.

Cheng Hu also laughed, let's go, let's go eat first, and then we will go to practice together, Cheng Hu said.

Zhao Shan stopped and said: There is one more thing I forgot to tell you, I can't go to Dingtian Pavilion with you to practice in the future, Elder Chen asked me to go to Houshan with him to practice, so...

What? You and Elder Chen are going to the back mountain to practice together?" they asked in unison. How is this possible, isn't it a year later that the top twenty will be able to practice with Elder Chen. They asked, surprised.

Zhao Shan shrugged his shoulders and said: I don't know, anyway, that's the case. So he gave me three days off and asked me to go to the back mountain with him in three days, and I couldn't leave the back mountain for a year. That's why I'm coming to you.

Oh, I really envy you, I have only been here for a month to let Elder Chen guide the cultivation, Cheng Hu said with envy on his face: It seems that I have to hurry up and practice, otherwise I will be left behind by you.

Xue Yun nodded and said: I don't want to fall behind him either, hum. After speaking, he grimaced at Zhao Shan.

Zhao Shan smiled bitterly and said: Then let's work together! After speaking, the three of them went to eat together.

After Cheng Hu and Xue Yun finished eating, they went to Dingtian Pavilion to start practicing. They don't look like they're joking, look at their seriousness. Liu Yunfei and Wang Xiaoyan must have been practicing at this time, so they still don't bother them. Or go out and about by yourself.

After speaking, Zhao Shan ran out of the fort as soon as he slipped away, the streets here are much more lively than Fengxi Village, and there are many people coming and going every day. There are also all kinds of shosaka selling their wares on the street. From time to time, I would ask Zhao Shan if he wanted to buy this or that. Zhao Shan shook his head and waved his hand every time. Because he himself doesn't know what to buy. Walking and walking, Zhao Shan felt a little tired and found a small teahouse nearby to sit down. Ordered some snacks and a pot of tea.
