"What's wrong, Angelica?"

The father saw that something was wrong with his daughter and asked with some confusion.

however

When he asked.

Chen Angelica, a little girl who was still frightened before, as if she had seen a ghost, has regained her calmness.

"I don't know."

"I thought that weirdo wearing a mask was so scary."

"But now. It doesn't seem scary. ”

Chen Angelica tugged at the pigtail on the top of his head, with a puzzled expression on his face.

She also didn't understand.

Why did I feel scared before?

Now he is not afraid at all.

She is still young, so naturally she will not know.

Before leaving, Chen Sheng had already used the ability of the True Eye to drain away all her negative emotions.

By the way, the curiosity that arose when his father and the grocery store owner saw Chen Sheng were also withdrawn to avoid extraneous branches.

"People are small and ghosts are big."

Seeing her daughter's puzzled face.

The father thought she was as funny as ever, so he smiled and flicked his daughter's white forehead.

"Oops, nasty!"

was so angry that Chen Angelica immediately forgot about Chen Sheng's matter, raised two small fists and kept smashing at his father's legs.

In the midst of the fight, the two walked into the grocery store together.

"Uncle Fu."

Father Chen greeted the boss.

The old man, who was squinting and listening to the radio, had been even more ignorant of Chen Sheng before, and sat up from the bamboo chair as soon as he heard this voice.

"What a distinguished guest, Lao Chen."

"I'm going up to the mountain to collect medicine again today."

Looking at the small bamboo basket that Chen Angelica was carrying on his back, the wrinkled old face suddenly squeezed out a flattering smile.

"Little Angelica is getting more and more beautiful."

said.

The boss also raised his hand to greet Chen Angelica.

Hum!

In the face of the boss's overtures.

Chen Angelica showed no mercy at all, and directly turned his face away.

She hadn't forgotten how the old man had bullied her brother before he had gone to Kyoto.

"Angelica, don't be rude!"

See the daughter's performance.

Father Chen was a little embarrassed.

After reprimanding his daughter, he looked at the boss and put an apologetic smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Fu, the child is not sensible, don't be surprised."

"It's okay, it's okay."

The boss waved his hand again and again, seemingly not minding at all.

"You said you were too."

"I have such a promising son, and he is still busy with what he does every day."

"Isn't it good to enjoy pure happiness every day like me?"

In the face of the boss's persuasion, Chen's father smiled and did not respond.

His eyes searched around the shop.

"Uncle Fu, I'm going to shovel, the house broke down a few days ago."

The boss's grocery store also sells farm tools.

"Good, good."

This time.

The boss is no longer as perfunctory as he is to Chen Sheng.

Instead, he trotted towards the back of the store.

When it reappears.

There was already an extra medicine shovel in his hand.

This is a shovel that must be used to ensure the integrity of the herbs when going up the mountain to collect medicines.

"Give."

Take the shovel from the boss.

Chen's father was ready to scan the code to transfer money.

But at this time.

"Don't, don't."

"Your son went to Kyoto with the big guys."

"The people of our Datian Village are all enjoying the happiness of your family, how can I let you break the bank again."

The boss hurriedly stretched out his hand and tried to stop Chen's father from scanning the code.

It's a pity.

I don't know if it's because of his age, if it's because of his slow movements, or if it's something else.

After all, his palm was a little slower than Chen's father's mobile phone.

"And I'll pay for this too."

Pay the money to the boss.

Chen's father took the hand of Chen Angelica, who was pouting and sulking on the side, and left the grocery store together.

"Come to my old man for tea at any time when you have time~"

The owner said goodbye to the two very warmly.

however

When the figures of Chen's father and the two disappeared in the realization.

The smile on the boss's face was fully retracted.

"Show it off, you'll do it."

"Pretend, you'll be just."

He spat the ground.

There was undisguised jealousy on his face.

"Your son went shit luck and followed the big guys."

"You have to hang around the village every day."

"Sooner or later, there will be a time when your family is unlucky."

The boss cursed a few words.

I just feel very comfortable.

forthwith

He lay down comfortably on the bamboo chair and hummed along to the opera on the radio.

On the road to Ota Village.

"Little Angelica, what's wrong?"

"Angry with your father?"

Father Chen lowered his head.

Seeing that her daughter's mouth was about to reach the sky, she hurriedly squatted down and stroked Chen Angelica's little head.

"It's Dad, it's not right, I shouldn't have murdered you just now."

"Look, what is this?"

Chen's father held the ice cream cone in his hand in front of Chen Angelica.

"It's your favorite ice cream."

"If Little Angelica forgives Dad, Dad will invite you to eat."

Saying,

The ice cream went back and forth and began to dangle in front of Chen Angelica with a straight face.

Goo-Du –

Chen Angelica actually doesn't want to forgive his father yet.

Because she knew that the old man at the grocery store was bad.

And just now he was cursing at their house.

how

Even if she wanted to be angry.

But when the ice cream swayed in front of me again and again.

Chen Angelica's gaze was still unconsciously attracted by it.

The saliva in her mouth continued to secrete, and she couldn't help but start swallowing.

"Humph!"

ultimately

Chen Angelica still didn't hold back.

She snorted.

Snatched the ice cream directly from Chen's father's hand, opened the lid and began to lick it again and again.

"Now, if you eat ice cream, you can't regain your father's anger."

Father Chen smiled dotingly, and was about to take Chen Angelica's hand as he spoke.

"Alright then!"

Feel the sweet taste release in your mouth.

Chen Angelica only felt that most of the unhappiness in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Two pigtails swaying towards the sky. -

A pair of dark round eyes instantly bent into a crescent moon.

The palm of his hand was also held up by Chen's father.

Looking down at her lovely daughter.

"Is it okay to accompany my father to the mountain to collect medicine?"

"Good!"

Chen Angelica raised his little head and replied in a loud voice.

Father Chen smiled slightly.

That's nice.

The daughter is well-behaved and sensible.

The son has a chance.

Maybe this is the pinnacle of life.

And so.

The father and daughter held hands and began to move towards the mountain.

——

Boom –

The arms slashed through the air one after another, curling up waves of air.

Even the owner of the arm has been very restrained.

But the surrounding trees will still be destroyed in an instant by the sweeping wind pressure.

Among the woods.

Chen Sheng practiced Xingyi Quan as he moved forward.

Nowadays, his attributes skyrocket every time he exercises.

From yesterday to now,

His stats have been increased by more than half.

If you don't take advantage of some free time, you should grasp the strength of your body that is constantly soaring.

When his stats get higher and higher, he may even breathe and cause great damage to the environment.

It's just like in Yinghui's grocery store before, and even more than that.

Time passed little by little.

at first

Chen Sheng threw every punch.

Waves of terrifying air will destroy the surrounding trees in an instant.

But as he became familiar with the power, a punch was thrown.

The air waves around the explosion are getting smaller and smaller.

This was because Chen Sheng had already controlled most of his power in the attack, and he no longer escaped in large quantities as before.

When you get to the riverbank.

Swish!

A punch is struck.

Unremarkable.

But the faintly distorted air around the fist makes people feel a little numb when they look at it.

Trample.

Stand still.

Chen Sheng looked at the fire outside the tent.

The elixir in the pot has begun to emit a rich fluorescence.

The heat is almost.

There was no hesitation.

Chen Sheng picked up the iron pot and poured it with his head high.

Quickly came to a clearing in the distance.

He closes his eyes and gradually adjusts his body to its optimal condition.

Bring up the panel.

Chen Sheng's gaze was condensed, and his gaze fell on the skill point.

【Xuanming True Martial Arts Lv3:0/500】

[Skill Point: 521]

Upgrade!

The words of Xuanming Zhenwu quickly became blurred.

Skill points are rapidly decreasing.

Just a few breaths.

Freeze frame again.

[Skill Point: 21]

【Genying True Martial Arts Lv4:0/1000】

Rumble!

The huge flow of information and muscle memory instantly poured into Chen Sheng's mind.

Over and over again, the memories of cultivating the Xuanming True Martial Arts, unleashing the Xuanwu Transformation, and controlling the Water Spirit kept flashing through his mind.

Every joint.

Every point.

Like a soldering iron, it was instantly engraved in Chen Sheng's memory.

The flow of information was so large that he had the illusion that his brain was about to burst.

fortunately

As for the experience when upgrading skills, Chen Sheng has long been familiar with the road.

It can't be said that it has no impact, but it is not as unbearable as before.

"Ho-"

Chen Sheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was constantly panting.

The two fists clenched tightly, making a crunching sound.

Thick green tendons burst out on the surface of the body, entrenched all over the body like old tree roots.

Thousands of exercises, compressed into a fraction of the time.

Chen Sheng's muscles trembled wildly, squirming under his skin as if he had life.

Powerful sensory abilities.

So that Chen Sheng can clearly perceive.

Every second, every muscle fiber in my body is being beaten and destroyed repeatedly.

and then reborn in a more resilient form.

In this extreme pain.

Every minute of Chen Sheng, he could feel that his body was getting stronger.

Whoa—

The sound of the water surging is constantly ringing in my ears.

It's not just the river in front of Chen Sheng.

Instead, within a few kilometers of the surroundings, it seemed that all the currents of water were cheering and celebrating, congratulating Chen Sheng's improvement in strength.

He felt it clearly.

My affinity for the spirit of water is rising.

He looked up.

Look at the river in front of you.

The next second.

I saw Chen Sheng's eyes move.

After a short delay.

The river that was originally flowing slowly came to a standstill, and as if it had life, it wriggled towards the riverbank.

Until it touched Chen Sheng's body.

It followed his ankles and continued to climb up until it covered Chen Sheng's body.

Wrapped in the flow of water, Chen Sheng instantly felt that his body had strengthened by more than half.

Even the pain caused by the transformation of the body seems to have been alleviated a lot.

Time passed slowly.

Two hours later.

Whoop -

The water was scattered all over the place.

"Whew-"

Chen Sheng took a long breath and slowly stood up from the ground.

A crackling sound like fried beans came from all over his body.

Raise your arms.

After this upgrade, his body has not changed much.

The arms are slender and fair, and the muscle contours are only faintly visible.

But looking at the arm that seems to be weak.

In Chen Sheng's eyes, a flash of joy flashed.

Only he knows.

What a terrifying power is hidden in his current ordinary appearance.

The fourth layer of Xuanming True Martial once again raised Chen Sheng's strength to a new height.

Bring up the panel.

【Chen Sheng】

[Strength: 421]

[Dexterity: 433]

[Constitution: 438]

[Skill Bar: Xuanming True Martial Arts Lv4: 0/1000]

[Skill Point: 171]

The attribute rose by 50 points across the board, successfully breaking through the 400-point mark.

And that's just secondary.

In this time of the upgrade.

What pleased Chen Sheng the most was the change in Xuanming's true martial arts ability.

Not only can the tortoiseshell texture withstand the impact force and shock resistance greatly improved.

Even the affinity and range of the water spirit have also been raised to a limit.

With Chen Sheng's current realm.

He was able to mobilize the spirits of water within a kilometer and call them to all sorts of things.

For example, as before, the flow of water automatically covered Chen Sheng's body, blessing his attributes and adding defense.

It can even collect all the water in the river to the shore, completely changing the environment.

Water will provide Chen Sheng with assistance.

and will increase the resistance for his enemies.

now

Chen Sheng could feel that his affinity for the water spirit seemed to have reached a critical point.

It was only a little before he was able to break through that tipping point.

Maybe when the time comes,

His affinity for the spirit of water can be completely transformed.

become

Authority!

Only when he truly has the authority can Chen Sheng wave his fingers at the water flow and greatly enhance his combat ability.

But

That might be something to break through the fifth layer.

Chen Sheng put it behind for the time being, and began to pay attention to the biggest improvement of this upgrade.

Xuanwu change.

At the third layer, the Xuanwu Transformation, the limit state can directly increase Chen Sheng's strength attribute by 2.5 times.

And this boost includes other bonuses.

It can be said that Chen Sheng has the most powerful ability today.

And now,

in the ultimate limit state,

The strength multiplier that Chen Sheng can increase is. Five times over!

It seems to only double the effect.

But with Chen Sheng's terrifying basic attributes, as well as the water flow bonus and thunder bonus that can be mobilized at any time.

How strong will it be.

Chen Sheng was even a little unimaginable.

He decided to give it a try.

Come to think of it.

Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

Basalt: Limit State.

Open!

The next second,

Swish!

Chen Sheng's eyes suddenly opened.

His eyes turned scarlet in an instant.

It was as if there was a bomb that detonated in the body.

Click-click!

The sound of bones colliding with each other exploded.

His body kept rising.

The muscles on the surface of the body continued to expand, instantly tightening the originally loose clothing.

Tear pull –

There were no surprises.

The clothes around the body were instantly burst and turned into strips of cloth hanging on the body.

The originally fair skin gradually changed to black and blue.

The muscles glowed with metal, turning into pieces of armor that piled up on the surface of the body.

The green tendons climbed up his neck, making Chen Sheng's appearance even more hideous and terrifying.

panel.

The Strength attribute jumps fast.

Five hundred.

Seven hundred.

Eight hundred.

Thousand!

It's just a blink of an eye.

The strength attribute is more than tripled, reaching the previous limit state.

But the pace of the rise has not slowed down in the slightest.

One thousand three.

One thousand fifteen.

Two thousand!

Fully, five times!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Chen Sheng's body.

The sound of a heartbeat like a thunderclap continued to come out, echoing in the mountains.

The terrifying coercion like a prehistoric beast is constantly spreading around.

In the surrounding forests.

The various sounds that were originally filled were all wiped out in an instant.

One by one, the birds stiffened and fell from the trees.

In the face of terrifying coercion, they did not even have the courage to flare their wings and escape, so they could only let their bodies fall to the ground.

And the performance of the beasts around him is not much better.

They used to roam, forage, or hunt.

But now,

They all lay on the ground, their heads facing the direction of Chen Sheng.

Seems

It is a worship of the birth of the king.

On the banks of the river.

Chen Sheng, who was covered in black and cyan muscle armor, stood quietly in place.

Boom Boom –

It's just a gesture of raising your hand.

There was a roar in the air.

Chen Sheng looked at his arm.

Now he's,

The forearms alone are as thick as the thighs in a normal state.

With the black and cyan muscle armor, and the blue texture engraved on the surface of the armor, it is constantly flowing.

Even if you don't have to see the whole picture.

Chen Sheng can imagine how terrifying his current image is.

"Whew-"

"Suck-"

Just a simple breath.

It directly formed a whirlwind of terror that swept around it.

The trunk branches and foliage of a large number of trees swirled around Chen Sheng's body and rose into the air.

Two thousand one hundred and five.

This is the strength attribute of Chen Sheng in the ultimate state of Xuanwu transformation.

It was a terrifying value that he had never dared to imagine before.

Come to think of it.

Chen Sheng raised his head.

Blood-colored pupils twitched slowly.

He looked at the end of his sight, a small hill deep in the mountains.

Knees slightly bent.

Rumble!!!

Endless smoke and dust rose up, instantly covering the ground on the riverbank.

The ground collapsed instantly, turning into a circular pit with a diameter of tens of meters.

Phew-

Screams echoed over the mountains.

The huge body rose from the ground and turned into a black line in the air and shot towards the mountain peak.

In mid-air.

Chen Sheng raised his arm.

On his face,

With a wanton and insolent smile.

The next second.

A huge black and cyan fist.

Bombardment directly on the mountain.

Boom Boom!!

The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

It's like the sky is about to fall.

Massive debris fell from the sky, smashing holes into the ground around the peaks.

Countless beasts fled in all directions, hiding from the apocalyptic sight.

Chen Sheng's body passed through the mountain without the slightest hindrance and smashed directly into the dense forest.

In a piece of fallen trees.

The huge body slowly stood up.

Chen Sheng looked back.

Under one punch.

The peaks, which are hundreds of meters high, have been cut off by nearly a quarter.

And this,

It's just that Chen Sheng simply opened the power of the Xuanwu Transformation.

If it is combined with the blessing of water and thunder.

His strength will rise again.

Now Chen Sheng.

If you face Zhao Zhenfeng and the clone of the elders again.

Even with strength alone, I am afraid that these two people can be beaten into dust in the air in an instant.

"Hahaha!!"

Feel the surging sense of power in your body.

Chen Sheng laughed insolently.

In his eyes, the killing intent was surging like a stormy wave.

It's not enough.

This is not enough.

He's going to get stronger.

Strong enough to crush all enemies to death.

——

Outside the mountains.

It is about a few kilometers away from where Chen Sheng is.

"What's going on?"

Chen Angelica's father and daughter, who were originally collecting medicine, stood in the woods, looking in the direction of the depths of the mountain.

"Is it thunder?"

Listen to the roar that looms from the depths.

Father Chen looked up at the sky, his face puzzled.

Chen Angelica, on the other hand, held his father's trouser leg and looked at the depths of the mountain with some nervousness.

"Dad, let's go home."

Her hearing is unusual.

As for Chen Sheng's movements, she could only listen to a rough idea.

What really made Chen Angelica nervous was the large number of footsteps coming from the depths of the mountain range.

Those voices, as soon as you hear them, know that they are not human.

It's like an animal in the mountains, trying to escape from some terrifying existence.

"Okay."

"Anyway, today's harvest is similar."

Looking at the herbs in the bamboo basket, Father Chen pondered for a moment and decided to go down the mountain first.

The main thing to survive in the mountains is to be vigilant against all abnormal conditions.

Anyway, he went up to the mountains to collect medicine, just a pastime in his spare time, and he didn't rely on it to make a living.

moreover

For his daughter's keen senses, Chen's father is also clear.

Otherwise, they would not have brought each other to the mountains to collect medicine.

Seeing that his daughter's face was wrong, he nodded directly in agreement.

"Your mom shouldn't have started cooking yet."

"I'm going to tell her if you want to make your favorite fried pork slices."

In order to ease his daughter's mood, Chen's father took Chen Angelica's little hand and said as he walked down the mountain.

Although Chen Angelica is a gas sensitive.

But after all, it is the child's heart.

As soon as I heard that there was something delicious, the tension in my heart instantly dissipated.

The two eyes shined even more, and they nodded emphatically.

"Hmm!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

She shook off Chen's father's hand and troted down the hill at a speed no less than that of an adult.

It seems that he is afraid that if he goes back late, the fried pork slices will disappear.

And so.

Halfway through the journey to collect herbs, it was interrupted.

"Run slower, don't fall!"

In the laughter of Chen Angelica's silver bells and the shouts of Chen's father.

The father and daughter soon returned to the village.

Fang Cai's small episode was quickly forgotten by the two.

——

"Tsk."

Finish the test.

Chen Sheng, who had returned to his normal size, returned to the bank of the river again.

In less than a minute.

The power slipped from more than two thousand points to more than four hundred.

The feeling of weakness caused by this strong contrast made Chen Sheng frown, and he only felt extremely uncomfortable.

Plop.

Just came to the fire.

Chen Sheng didn't care about his image at all, he directly spread his limbs and lay on the ground.

"Whew-"

Feel the warm winter sun fall on your body and your tense muscles gradually relax.

The feeling of weakness that had made him so uncomfortable faded.

Instead, there's a sense of comfort.

And a little sleepy.

The ultimate state of the basalt transformation is indeed powerful.

however

Even if it was only for a few seconds, it consumed most of Chen Sheng's physical strength and spirit.

"Uh-"

Chen Sheng yawned.

He decided to take a thirty-minute nap to get his muscles back in optimal shape.

But

He didn't intend to waste these thirty minutes of free time.

He got up and picked up the iron pot and went to the lake to fill it with water.

Light the fire and throw the elixir into it.

soon

In the crackling sound of dry wood crackling, and the gurgling of boiling water.

Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes.
