The sunlight once again splashed down through the gaps in the leaves, Xia Yi slowly opened his eyes, and at a glance saw Yang Zhangzhen standing guard not far in front of him.

"Heh~" Xia Yi exhaled lightly, and the feeling that his chest had been suffocating suddenly became much more relaxed, and the whole person seemed to become lighter.

"Awake?" a familiar voice came from beside him.

Xia Yi nodded and met the gaze of Yang Zhangzhen and Elder Lian, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Yang Zhangzhen's eyes lit up, and he came to Xia Yi in a flash.

"How's it going, how do you feel?!" Yang Zhangzhen looked very anxious, as if it was his own child who had suffered such a big change.

Xia Yi clenched his fists and felt the unusual power, and said calmly: "I feel stronger!"

Yang Zhangzhen smiled, but the Lian Elder next to him rolled his eyes very unsightly.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, just yesterday's movement, if you don't get stronger, then it's weird!" Elder Lian couldn't help but complain.

Xia Yi smiled and said, "I have broken through the realm of the four grades. ”

Yang Zhangzhen and Elder Lian were stunned, but then, neither of them was surprised by this.

This is both unexpected and reasonable. Seeing such a big movement happen last night, it was natural to break through the realm, and even, in the eyes of the two, it was a little disappointing to only break through one layer of the realm.

It was a magnificent scene that shook the heavens and the earth, no worse than Yin Chuyu's vision when he broke through, but the result was only a breakthrough of a small layer of the four-grade realm, which seemed to be a big "loss".

"This, um......" Yang Zhang really wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips but he didn't say it.

At the beginning of the change, he was still worried that Xia Yi would fall sharply again and become an ordinary person, but now he has advanced without retreating, and he has advanced to a realm, which is a fortunate thing, and he must no longer be greedy and not satisfied.

Elder Lian was not so tactful, he said very directly: "Only one realm has been broken through? Looking at such a huge movement, I thought you were going to break through the Nine Rank Realm." ”

Xia Yi listened to Elder Lian's words, and couldn't help but smile even brighter: "Elder Lian, don't forget, I just broke through the three-rank realm not long ago." Moreover, the four-grade realm is a threshold that is not big or small, and after breaking through, it is relatively easy for the fifth-grade realm and the sixth-grade realm, so I am already very satisfied. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhangzhen and Elder Lian were stunned again, and then they all nodded.

If you say so, breaking through the realm of the four grades is not a particularly "loss". The first-grade realm, the fourth-grade realm, and the seventh-grade realm are the three thresholds of the martial arts realm, and if you break through this threshold, the next two small realms will be relatively easy.

Since there is such a "threshold", it is naturally beneficial to cross the threshold.

"How is it? Does your body feel much stronger than before?" Elder Lian threw a few punches as if demonstrating, and a smile appeared on his face.

When Xia Yi heard this, his face was slightly strange.

Yang Zhangzhen saw that Xia Yi didn't answer, but his expression was a little wrong, and his relaxed mood suddenly rose again.

"What's wrong?" Yang Zhangzhen asked in a slightly impatient tone.

Xia Yi scratched his head with some doubts, and after thinking for a while, he cautiously asked, "Brother Yang, Elder Lian, when you broke through the four-rank realm, did you gain any benefits?"

"Yes, of course. Elder Lian was very surprised by Xia Yi's question, he compared his fists and said, "All aspects of physical fitness have been improved to a great extent, and the absorption and mastery of spiritual energy have also become much stronger. Why, isn't it all like this?"

Yang Zhangzhen didn't answer, just looked at Xia Yi fixedly.

Xia Yi gestured with his hands in vain: "That is, is there any kind of practical benefit, such as if you suddenly comprehended something, or that you suddenly understood some moves, and your moves became more powerful." ”

Elder Lian listened to the words behind him, nodded slightly, and said with a thoughtful look: "Hmm...... If you say this, there is indeed such a change, for example, the martial art I practiced at that time was "Lian's Boxing Method", which is our family style of boxing, don't underestimate our boxing method......"

Elder Lian was about to trumpet the power of his own boxing technique, but Yang Zhangzhen directly interrupted him and calmly reminded him, "Talk about the point." ”

Elder Lian was very dissatisfied with Yang Zhangzhen's interruption, and glared at him fiercely, but he didn't continue to boast: "After breaking through, I have a deeper understanding of the Lian Fist Method, especially after the improvement of strength, speed, and other aspects, this understanding has changed a lot. ”

Xia Yi listened to Elder Lian's words, and his face showed an expression of sudden realization, but in fact, a trace of doubt still flashed in his eyes.

Yang Zhangzhen has always been very concerned about Xia Yi's words, always paying attention to his reaction, keenly catching a trace of doubt in his eyes, and without waiting for Elder Lian to ask back, he said: "What do you know, it's not too late to talk about it after you go back." Let's go to the river to see what's changed, and then we hurry back, and when we get back to the academy, we have time to chat. ”

Although Elder Lian was very dissatisfied with Yang Zhangzhen's commanding tone, he also understood that this was the right topic, so he stopped interrupting and hurriedly led the way.

The three of them came to the river again, and found that the place had returned to calm, the invisible "wall" had disappeared, and the "light belt" and "light point" had also disappeared unexpectedly.

The sound of rushing water and birdsong in the woods is so pleasant to the ears that it brings peace of mind, as if nothing had happened.

"After I go back, send someone to guard here, and no matter what changes, I must report it as soon as possible. Yang Zhangzhen looked at the turbulent river with his eyes and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"I don't need to tell you that I'm going to do it too! Don't always show how far-sighted you are, as if everyone else is stupid. Elder Lian finally vented all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Yang Zhangzhen ignored Elder Lian's venting, he turned his head and said to Xia Yi: "No one can tell this matter, even if it's a summer night, it's best not to say it." When the dean is out of the customs, he must report to him. For now, you are getting the benefits, but none of us can guarantee that the long-term impact will also be good for you, do you understand?"

Xia Yi understood the meaning of care in Yang Zhang's true words, and nodded in agreement without a different color.

"Good. Yang Zhangzhen was very satisfied with Xia Yi's reaction, which saved him a lot of effort.

"Let's go, if you have anything to say, let's have a good chat after we go back, don't waste time here all the time!" Elder Lian choked Yang Zhangzhen with his words before, and he didn't seem to notice anything more unusual.

Xia Yi and Yang Zhangzhen were slightly relieved in their hearts.
