In the war base outside the Fire Lion Ridge.

There is a huge square in the war base, nearly 1,000 square meters, and many people have gathered in the square at this moment, including soldiers and young people, all of them are staring at the electronic screens hanging on high places, and from time to time they let out exclamations and exclamations, which are very lively.

"It's changed, the rankings have changed again."

"Phew, the competition is really fierce, it's only been half a day, and the people in the first place have changed three times."

All the warriors and young people looked at the electronic screen, and the electronic screen displayed names and rankings, the first one was a person named Nangong Beifeng, and there was some information about him - it took 9 days and 10 hours to complete the task, and he got 9 third-level beast soldier ears, a total of 9 points.

There are rules in the Huaxia Martial Arts Hall that you need to have at least one third-level beast soldier ear to complete the task, and the third-level beast soldier ear will be counted as 1 point, the fourth-level beast soldier ear will be counted as 10 points, and the fifth-level beast soldier ear will be counted as 100 points, and so on, adding the scores together is your total score.

Rankings are based on the total score and the time taken to complete the task.

"Why is it that the people who have completed the task so far have all the ears of the third-level beast soldiers, and none of the fourth-level beast soldiers have not?" In the crowd, a young man asked strangely.

"What's so strange about that." Beside the young man, a warrior smiled and said, "The real masters are still killing demonic beasts in the Fire Lion Ridge, and there are still twenty-one days before the trial is over, who will come back so early?" ”

He raised his chin and looked at the trialists who had already returned, and said without cutting down: "These people who have come back are not masters, and they don't dare to hunt the fourth-level beast soldiers, so naturally they can't compare with those masters in terms of the level and number of demonic beast ears, so they can only fight for more time to complete the task." ”

"Well, that's true for you." The young man nodded again and again, "Just like me, with my strength, it is already a fluke to be able to kill a third-level beast soldier, and if I stay in the Fire Lion Ridge, I may even have to lose my life, so it is better to come back and hand in the task earlier." ”

"Look, the rankings have changed again!"

An exclamation was heard, and both the young man and the warrior stopped.

Like the others, they also looked at the electronic screen in unison, and all kinds of exclamations rang out, and for a time the square was in an uproar.

......

At the same time, Hongwu is walking at full speed through the mountains and forests, where the trees are lush and the environment of the entire earth has changed dramatically, humans have evolved, animals have mutated, and even plants have begun to grow rapidly as if they had eaten catalysts.

Over the course of a few decades, some trees have grown to levels that used to take thousands of years to reach, with unbelievable branches and thick trunks.

In the middle of the towering trees, Hongwu ran at full speed, and the whole person turned into a whirlwind, rolling up and flying leaves.

An hour later, hearing the roar of the beast behind him gradually weaken, Hongwu stopped, squatted under a big tree and gasped for breath, an hour of running at full speed, coupled with emotional tension, with Hongwu's super physical strength, it was a little unbearable.

"Whew, whew, I didn't expect that the average one-horned mane would be so difficult to deal with among the fourth-level beast soldiers." Hong Wu gasped, thinking of the battle just now, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I thought that I could kill a fourth-level beast soldier when I stepped into the fourth order of the martial artist, but it was not until I really fought with the unicorn demon mane that I realized that after all, I had just stepped into the fourth order of the martial artist, and I was much worse than many fourth-level beast soldiers." ”

"Well, keep working hard and wait for my cultivation to improve a little more." Hong Wu was not discouraged, and failure was also a kind of motivation.

This is the central area of the Fire Lion Ridge, there are many third-level beast soldiers, and there are some fourth-level beast soldiers, so there are many people who come here to hunt and kill demonic beasts, and there are also many demonic beasts.

Half an hour later, Hongwu came to the outside of a cave.

It is an extremely hidden cave, and the cave is covered with dense vines, making it difficult to spot unless you are careful.

"Well, this is it." Hong Wu nodded in satisfaction, gently brushed aside the vines, and jumped into the cave.

"Yes, this cave is not only secret, but also has fresh air and dry ground, so it is a suitable place for cultivation." Hong Wu sat cross-legged in the cave, his sword resting on his legs, and he could enter the battle state at any time if any special situation occurred.

After fighting with the one-horned mane, Hong Wu realized his shortcomings - his attack power was too poor!

"It is said that a master who cultivates advanced martial arts can easily kill a fourth-level beast soldier even if he only uses the power of the fourth order of a martial artist, and even kill a fifth-level or even a sixth-level beast soldier, which shows the subtlety of martial arts." Hong Wu remembered some of the information he had seen on the Internet and was convinced, "Yes, I just lack attack skills." ”

Some advanced martial arts can make a martial artist's strength 100 percent, or even hundreds of percent, and if you don't understand martial arts, it is good to be able to exert 80 percent of your own strength.

"Inch strength killing should be a peerless martial art, once I use inch strength killing when I am a martial artist in the third order, I can almost sweep the third-level beast soldiers, I am now a martial artist in the fourth order, and there should be room for improvement in inch strength killing." Hong Wu's heart moved, his cultivation had improved, and his killing should also be improved.

However, killing an inch is a martial art in the end, and it takes hard cultivation to improve!

First, he practiced the "Chaos Alchemy Technique" for an hour, and then Hong Wu stood up, held the battle knife, and began to swing the knife over and over again.

"Snort......" The blade slashed through the air with a slight sound.

Constantly swinging the knife, constantly slashing in the air, Hong Wu will have a small pause after every swing, and there will be a slight change in the way of exertion, a knife slashes out, and the cycle repeats, just like a tireless machine, until the 127th knife.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Hong Wu stopped abruptly and frowned, "How can we integrate the power of inch killing into the sword technique?" ”

In fact, in the final analysis, its essence is a special way of exerting force - inch strength!

Inch strength is also divided into soft strength and strength, Hongwu now has some comprehension in softness, but the cultivation time is still short, but he has not yet comprehended anything in strength.

There is no doubt that the power of the inch killing method is very clever, and in terms of soft strength alone, it can make Hongwu's strength play by hundreds of percent, so as to fight beyond the level.

So, since the power of the inch killing can be achieved through the fist, can it also be integrated into the knife technique?

What Hongwu has to do now is to integrate the power of inch killing into the knife technique as much as possible.

"The way of inching and killing is peculiar, it can bring out hundreds of percent of its own strength, if it is integrated into the knife technique, even if the effect is not as good as the fist technique, but at least it is much stronger than the attack power of the war knife I use now." Hong Wu muttered to himself and couldn't help but shake his head, "It's a pity that I can't do it." ”

"Huh, keep trying, I don't believe it, I can't find a trick after trying tens of thousands of times?" Hong Wu shook his head and brandished his sword again.

The 149th, 183rd, 321st......

For three hours, Hong Wu did not rest, constantly waving his knife and constantly experiencing it.

Drops of sweat rolled down from Hongwu's forehead, his clothes were completely soaked, and his arms were even more sore, but his eyes were still bright, he didn't hesitate, he didn't stop, he waved the war knife over and over again, every time he needed to do it with all his strength, he felt that the war knife that usually weighed only a few dozen catties was like a thousand pounds at the moment.

Another war knife slashed through the air, the air was cut, the war knife cut an arc, and it was about to run out, but at this moment, the war knife suddenly shook, and a weak force burst out, making the war knife cross a distance again.

"Hmm!"

Hong Wu's eyes lit up suddenly, "That's how it feels, inch strength, my knife just now seems to have a faint inch of strength in it." ”

Although there was only a faint trace of internal strength integrated into the sword technique, it still made Hong Wu excited, at least he could prove that the inch strength could indeed be integrated into the sword technique.

"Look for that feeling just now and keep trying!"

For a while, Hong Wu didn't seem to feel tired at all, and the mental excitement made his body rejuvenated, and he continued to swing the knife, seriously experienced, tried to find the feeling just now, and integrated the way of exerting force into the knife technique.
