Chapter 17: Talent

Staring at the berserk lion that was running madly, Lin Chen's eyes were full of battle intent.

Tall at three meters tall and stout in size, the Raging Lion resembles a hill that moves at high speed. In front of this hill, Lin Chen was as unbearable as a small sapling.

It was suspicious that the Berserk Lion had not yet approached, and the wind from the high-speed gallop was enough to blow him away.

Although he is sure that Xi Chongwu will not lie to himself, he will definitely make a move at a critical time. The hill hitting the sapling still made Xirou's heart hang. Even, I wanted to close my eyes several times, not daring to look at this scene again.

After the earth-shattering roar, the furious lion soared up, like a puff of flame, covering Lin Chen.

The air was hot and dry from the scorching heat of the Raging Lion.

Lin Chen still didn't dodge or dodge, he understood that if he really wanted to take the initiative to ask for help, for the sake of Xi Rou's face, it was impossible for Xi Chongwu not to make a move. He also understood that Yixi Chongwu's favorability towards him was getting lower and lower, and it was absolutely impossible to save him without waiting for him to be seriously injured.

But he didn't say anything, because his blood was boiling.

Not even a third-grade berserk lion could not be defeated, and even a spirit beast that was slightly stronger than himself did not dare to face it...... He could not have had the courage to face greater enemies and challenges.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, Lin Chen's body fell backwards. The spirit sword in his hand stabbed out obliquely with the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat.

At that moment, Lin Chen was surprisingly calm.

The heart has been greatly sublimated.

The tip of the sword, in the face of the overwhelming flames, was so weak and insignificant.

However, it broke through everything, stabbing diagonally into the nostrils of the berserk lion with the power of thunder.

As the berserk lion's huge body continued to press down, the insignificant, but flashing silver luster, the tip of the sword also advanced all the way into the berserk lion's brain.

It didn't stop until he met the skull.

At the moment when he fell to the ground, Lin Chen's wrist flicked, and the spirit sword stirred.

Bang!

The body of the berserk lion pressed heavily on Lin Chen's body, making his body, which was already not lightly injured, even more unbearable.

Fortunately, the sharp teeth and sharp claws had lost their momentum, and before they could touch him, they lost their motivation and hung down in a languishing state.

Lin Chen snorted, and the whole person was crushed under him by the berserk lion.

It was difficult to breathe, and severe pain spread all over the body, but a difficult smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

It worked!

The sevenfold peak of the Yellow Order, independently slashed a three-rank berserk lion with high attack and high defense.

Killing spirit beasts by leapfrogging is a privilege unique to those geniuses, and now, he, a person who has failed in his bones and understanding, has also done this.

He defeated the Raging Lion, and he also defeated himself.

"Brother Chen......" Xi Rou stepped forward quickly, wanting to lift the body of the berserk lion, but she couldn't shake it in the slightest.

Xi Chongwu was dumbfounded.

The result seemed to be completely different from what he had thought.

Lin Chen's injuries were indeed not light, but they were definitely not to the extent of serious injuries.

What made him even more unacceptable was that Lin Chen actually killed the Berserk Lion.

The strength of the two sides, not to mention the difference of 108,000 miles, is definitely 180,000 miles away.

Martial artists with the strength of the Yellow Rank Ninefold Peak or below, no one dared to confidently say that they would definitely be able to defeat the Three-Rank Spirit Beast. Not to mention, it's still the best of the three-grade spirit beasts - the Raging Lion!

Normally, the Raging Lion should crush Lin Chen with a huge advantage.

"This kid's **** luck is so good, he actually discovered that the biggest weakness of the berserk lion is the nose. ”

Xi Chongwu sighed secretly, although he didn't want to admit it, he had to praise it - this kid is indeed courageous, if he is an ordinary person, even if he knows the biggest weakness of the berserk lion, he can't fight to the death like Lin Chen.

You know, the Berserk Lion is in a berserk state, and its speed and attack have increased by more than one or two points. It only took a little slower for the sword to slap at him.

"Grandpa Wu, why don't you come to help quickly?" In the distance, Xi Rou's voice interrupted Xi Chongwu's thoughts.

A flash man came to the berserk lion's body, and with a slight toe of his toes, the small mountain-like corpse flipped over, revealing Lin Chen, whose face was red due to difficulty breathing.

"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Xirou stepped forward to help Lin Chen up, her eyes full of concern.

"No, it's okay! Lin Chen really wanted to let out a few painful howls, but for the sake of a glorious image in Xirou's mind, he had to grit his teeth and pretend to be fine.

"Grandpa Wu, come and see. Xi Rou got up and pulled Xi Chongwu in front of Lin Chen.

casually picked up Lin Chen's tattered clothes, and while Lin Chen grinned in pain, Xi Chongwu stood up: "It's just a small injury, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

β€œchao!” Lin Chen subconsciously sent Xi Chongwu four English letters.

Nima, I'm about to fall apart, this is also a small injury?

"What?" Monk Xi Chongwu and Zhang Er were puzzled, but he could tell from Lin Chen's expression that this guy was definitely not boasting about his medical skills.

"Xibo is right, it's just a small injury, it's nothing. Lin Chen propped himself up on the ground and stood up.

The loser does not lose the battle, his chin was slightly raised, Lin Chen endured the severe pain, kicked the body of the berserk lion, and wrote lightly: "It's just a little lion, I can't help me." ”

"In that case, let's continue on our way?" Xi Chongwu made up his mind not to let Lin Chen feel better.

"Of course continue to hurry, by the way, Xiaorou, where is my previous story?" Lin Chen didn't intend to make Xi Chongwu feel better, he was on the same page with this old man.

"It is said that a monkey jumped out of the boulder, and it was thirty thousand miles high. Xirou reminded.

"Yes, let's move on?" Lin Chen asked.

To Lin Chen's surprise, Xi Rou shook her head and said, "The sun is about to rise, let's take a break and make some breakfast by the way, shall we?"

"Hungry?" said Xi Chongwu lovingly.

Xirou nodded a little shyly.

"Okay, I'll go find some fruit and deal with it. Although the pain was unbearable, and he didn't even want to lift his toes, Lin Chen still didn't want to let go of this opportunity to perform.

"No, you all rest, just leave it to me, and I'll give you a barbecue." Xi Rou looked at Xi Chongwu.

"This ......" Xi Chongwu was a little worried.

At this point, Xi Rou can see that this old and young will not deal with it at all. Especially Xi Chongwu, who seemed to be targeting Lin Chen from beginning to end. In order to get Lin Chen injured just now, he didn't even hesitate to lie to himself, so he simply said, "Grandpa Wu, have you forgotten what you promised to teach Brother Chen the martial arts and experience just now?"

Lin Chen's heartbeat accelerated instantly. He originally wanted to slowly and slowly Tuxi Chongwu's exercises and martial arts, but he didn't expect that Xirou would give him such a big surprise.

"No, I want to wait until he's healed. Xi Chongwu glared at Lin Chen, and a dagger appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Putting the dagger down, another iron pot appeared, followed by salt bags, wood, and iron frames......

Lin Chen was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to react, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a storage ring?"

"Barely a little insightful. Xi Chongwu understood that Xi Rou already knew that he didn't want to see Lin Chen, so he simply didn't pretend.

"Didn't you say that the storage ring requires spiritual power to be opened?" Lin Chen pretended to be surprised: "Doesn't this mean that you are always a martial artist?"

"Now you know, everything you did in Lingyun City is ridiculous, right?" Xi Chongwu didn't have a good breath.

Although Lin Chen was dissatisfied in his heart, he still cheekily diverted the topic and said, "What Xiao Rou just said about teaching me martial arts is true?"

Xi Chongwu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xi Rou, and when he saw that she was looking at him, he said angrily: "Whether you teach or not, it depends on your talent, stretch out your hand, I'll touch it first." ”

Lin Chen was speechless, his talent was ...... What a word that hurts.

Helpless, holding on to a glimmer of hope, Lin Chen still tried to raise his sore arm and stretched out to Xi Chongwu.

After only two pinchs, Xi Chongwu stopped and asked, "What are the exercises you have learned now, and how long did it take to fully master them?"

"That ......" Lin Chen's face was a little hot, but he still said honestly: "The three-grade exercises, I only fully understood and mastered them in the second year, but I can already start cultivating in the first month." ”

"Then how did you learn the Nine Rank Sword Technique?" Xi Chongwu said unexpectedly.

Learning martial arts can't be sloppy, although it is embarrassing, Lin Chen still has nothing to hide: "The nine-rank sword technique is very simple, especially the first style, which is easy to understand, but if you want to achieve the greatest effect, you need to practice diligently." ”

"Your root bones are so bad that you can pull a random martial artist over, at least there is an eighty percent chance of being stronger than you. Your perception is also excessively low. Xi Chongwu didn't care about Lin Chen's face, and even deliberately raised the volume, lest Xi Rou not hear it: "The root bones and comprehension are so low, with your talent, you are stronger than ordinary people, and you can barely reach the qualifications to practice martial arts." ”

"Moreover, you may have made a mistake while practicing, and there are signs of damage to your meridians and internal organs. Although it is not obvious, in the long run, if you don't find a cure, you will have to become a waste if you don't die. So ......"

"So what?"

Lin Chen couldn't wait to ask, his own talent was naturally clear. Although it is not as unbearable as Xi Chongwu said, it is not much worse. As for the damage to the meridians and internal organs, there is no way, one of the major drawbacks of bloodthirstiness is that it hurts others and hurts oneself to form a backlash, and it is impossible for him to abandon bloodthirstiness because of this.

"Therefore, it is impossible for you to learn my exercises and martial arts in your life. If the hidden injury is not cured, he will not live longer than the old man for a few years. Xi Chongwu was straightforward.

Lin Chen was a little reluctant to say, "Isn't there a high-grade technique or martial art that is easy to understand like my nine-rank sword technique?"

"Yes?" Xi Chongwu was expressionless: "But I haven't learned." ”

"Then ......" Lin Chen asked cautiously, "Is there any way I can break through to the Xuan Rank?"

"There are many ways, for example, if you live long enough, you can live for three or five hundred years, and if you study hard, you can still break through to the Xuan Rank. For another example, if you are blessed with high stars, you will get some extremely precious heavenly and earthly treasures or the best elixir, which can also help you break through to the Xuan level after taking it. ”

Xi Chongwu hit Lin Chen mercilessly, and Lin Chen's depressed expression made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Sure enough, talent is everything. Lin Chen sighed, although he had a hunch that the result would be like this, he still couldn't help but feel powerless in his heart.

Not far away, although Xi Rou was cutting the pieces of meat with a dagger, she kept her ears open to listen to the conversation between the two. Just when Lin Chen's mood fell to the bottom, after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but stand up.

"Actually...... I have read a book of Nine Rank Exercises before, which is not only easy to learn, but also has a huge help for breaking through the realm. Merely...... This exercise opens up a strange path, and it follows the ancient route of refining the body. ”

Xirou's voice was pleasant and light, and in Lin Chen's ears, it was no less than Xianle.
