Chapter 1: Tang Long
Beidou City, Flying Eagle Young Martial Regiment.
Under the scorching sun, the teenagers who had had lunch each looked for a place in the shade of the trees, gathered in groups to chat and laugh.
Under a pine tree with dense foliage, Tang Long leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at a stone tablet erected in front of the ten-meter-high statue of the golden-eyed flying eagle in the center of the martial arts arena in the distance.
"Soon, this stone tablet will be engraved with my Tang Long's name. β
Tang Long muttered in his heart.
This stele is called the Record Stele.
The so-called record tablet is the name of the person who wrote the record of the Flying Eagle Young Martial Arts, and the record of creating zΓ o will be written on the back.
The Flying Eagle Young Martial Arts Regiment is the reserve force of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment, and the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment is one of the two most powerful forces in Beidou City.
The first record that Tang Long is facing now is the record of the youngest quasi-mercenary.
To become a quasi-mercenary, the condition is to first reach the advanced realm of the samurai, and then participate in the quasi-mercenary assessment, Tong guΓ², that is, a quasi-mercenary, the current record is rewritten by Luo Xiao.
His record was sixteen years and five months.
And Tang Long, who had just turned fifteen years old, was in the intermediate realm of a warrior, and already had the strength to hit the record.
"I heard you want to break my record. β
A young man with his hands in his trouser pockets blocked Tang Long's view of the record monument.
He is the youngest quasi-mercenary record holder, Luo Xiao.
"Is there a problem? Tang Long snorted lightly.
"I'm here to sue you, it's always me who breaks other people's records, and no one can break my records. Luo Xiao stretched out his right index finger and shook it gently, "You can't either." β
This arrogant attitude made Tang Long's eyebrows raise slightly, "Okay, it's not up to you." β
Luo Xiao said contemptuously: "It's not that I look down on you, geniuses are also high and low, there is a day when I am in the Shaowu Regiment, I am the first day of the Shaowu Regiment, you can only be the second day, I need to spend more than a year to become a senior samurai, as far as you are concerned, it will take at least two years, it will be good to be able to become a senior samurai at the age of seventeen, and I want to break my record, it's really naΓ―ve, give you a piece of advice, don't be too ambitious to take me as a target, it will only make you more and more hit." β
Tang Long was completely sleepy, stood up, patted his buttocks, threw down a word, and walked towards the martial arts arena.
"Then let's speak with the facts. β
Instead of a battle of words, it is better to break through earlier and break the record.
There is one thing that Tang Long did not say, that is, he has already reached the peak of the intermediate level of the samurai, and the breakthrough is imminent.
On the southeast side of the martial arts arena, there are more than a dozen training pillars used for cultivation.
Tang Long stood in front of a strength training pillar and raised his hand to punch it.
"Bang!"
The training pillar is a violent shock.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Tang Long, who was almost crazy about bombarding the training pillar, went all out with every punch, without any reservations.
This is the most common method of breaking the limit.
To reach the peak of a certain realm, to break through, keep hitting your own limits, and beyond the limits, you can complete the breakthrough.
"Say it will take me two years to break through?"
"Then I'll break through today!"
Tang Long is a person who likes to compete, Luo Xiao said that he can't break the record, so he not only has to break the record, but also leaves the original record far behind.
The martial arts road is long, the warrior realm is only the initial stage, and the true qi cultivated will naturally not be much, like Tang Long's crazy full release, it didn't take long for him to feel that the true qi was consumed, he didn't mean to stop at all, and he was still punching with all his might.
Gradually, he felt pain in his hands, soreness in his arms, swelling in his head, and difficulty breathing.
"Hold on!"
"He said no, I want to!"
Tang Long's proud face appeared in front of his eyes, using Luo Xiao to stimulate himself, gritting his teeth and persevering, to the limit, even more persistent.
"Quick, punch faster. β
Tang Long, who had reached the limit, roared wildly in his heart, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, staring at the training pillar, and constantly asking himself to speed up his punches in his heart.
Just when Tang Long felt unbearable and his eyes turned black, his heart was beating violently.
If it were someone else, in such an extreme situation, his heartbeat would have accelerated to an alarming level, but Tang Long's only at this time did he speed up from his normal beat.
"Break through. β
A bright smile appeared on Tang Long's face.
If your heart beats faster, you will break through the realm, this is Tang Long's secret.
No one knew that since Tang Long was sensible, he had found that no matter what he did, even if he was frightened, exercising too much, and other things that should normally cause his heart to beat faster, had never happened to him, and his heartbeat had always been a slow and powerful beating before cultivating martial arts.
It wasn't until he started practicing martial arts that his heartbeat changed.
On the first day of cultivating martial arts, Tang Long's heart beat faster, and as a result, it took months or even years for others to have a sense of qi, but Tang Long had a sense of qi on the first day.
Then, the heartbeat returned to normal again.
The second time the heartbeat increases, it is when you step into the primary realm of samurai, and when the heartbeat increases, the breakthrough comes.
The third time is naturally when the primary realm of samurai enters the intermediate realm.
Now for the fourth time.
According to the previous pattern, the rapid heartbeat meant that his breakthrough was coming.
Tang Long, who was cultivating frantically, gasped heavily, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he sat on the ground tiredly, quietly waiting for that moment to come.
His heart was beating faster and faster, but it didn't bring Tang Long any discomfort.
When the beating suddenly returned to a smooth level, the depleted True Qi suddenly revived, and recovered at a rapid speed, and after reaching its original amount, it continued to expand, reaching twice the original amount.
"Hoo ......"
Tang Long exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Finally broke through, the advanced realm of warriors." β
The exhaustion was gone, and his whole body was filled with a sense of strength, Tang Long wanted to look up to the sky and smile, but he didn't, because next, his heart would bring him a benefit.
If the rapid beating of his heart was a reminder to Tang Long to break through, then his heart would also bring him a jaw-dropping benefit, which was to purify his true qi.
In the Hundred Emperors World, everyone knows that the true qi cultivated by everyone is the same, but even so, the true qi is still strong and weak, and the reason is that the true qi is clean, the purer it is, the stronger the power, which is also one of the most critical factors for some geniuses to be able to leapfrog the challenge.
Tang Long's heart had the ability to purify true qi.
Tang Long, who sat down, took a few deep breaths, calmed down the excitement of the breakthrough, closed his eyes slightly, and tried to experience it with his heart.
Since the samurai realm could not see the situation in the body, Tang Long could only feel it by feeling.
After a while, he felt that the slow beating of his heartbeat was becoming more and more powerful, a deafening roar, naturally, this kind of heartbeat loud sound could only be heard by Tang Long, and outsiders could not hear it.
With the sound, the true qi in the dantian was attracted to the heart.
True Qi covers the heart, and as the heart beats, it vibrates.
"One, two, three......"
Tang Long silently counted the number of heartbeats.
"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty. β
When Tang Long counted to the thirtieth time, the true qi returned to the dantian as if it had been sent out by the heart, and this completed the purification.
"It's the same process as before. β
"Thirty heartbeats, complete the purification. β
Tang Long stretched out an index finger of his right hand and urged the True Qi to circulate his arm, passing through the palm of his hand, a layer of very small light clusters appeared on the tips of his fingers.
The samurai realm can make the true qi emerge two or three centimeters on the surface of the body, and only by stepping into the realm of Zhan Gang can the true qi shoot out to the point of one meter.
Just popping up like this was enough for Tang Long to see his true qi pure.
It was a small ball of true qi like the purest diamond, dusty, and intoxicating to watch.
"I've seen other people's true qi, at least so far, the true qi of people I've seen hasn't even reached a tenth of my purity. β
Tang Long put his true qi back, stood up, and looked around.
The teenagers who had taken a lunch break had already started cultivating, and he also saw Luo Xiao at a glance.
"I have reached the advanced level of samurai, and the next step is to participate in the quasi-mercenary assessment, as long as you pass guΓ², you will be able to break your record. β
"This month's quasi-mercenary assessment has ended, and there are more than twenty days left next month, which is just the right time to take the opportunity to practice martial arts. β
Tang Long made up his mind and left the martial arts arena.
The martial arts of the Young Martial Arts Regiment were all placed in the Martial Arts Pavilion, but the three strongest martial arts were in the hands of Wang Feng, the teacher who was responsible for teaching the teenagers to cultivate.
According to the rules of the Shaowu Regiment, before the age of seventeen, if you can reach the advanced level of a warrior, you can cultivate the Splitting Stone Fist, one of the three major martial arts, and Tang Long has just turned fifteen years old, and the exact age is fifteen years and one month.
There were still three minutes before the class, and Tang Long met Wang Feng at the entrance of the martial arts arena.
Wang Feng is a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, once the captain of the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group, because of a mission, lost his right arm, he was supposed to be the honorary deputy head of the mercenary group, he volunteered to teach in the Shaowu Regiment, so in the Shaowu Regiment, his status is higher than that of the Shaowu Regiment, and there is a legend that the Shaowu Commander was taught by Wang Feng.
"Teacher. β
"Tang Long, I'm about to train, you are looking for me alone, is there something wrong? Wang Feng usually doesn't smile, but for Tang Long, who cultivates hard and has a strong talent, he is an exception, he likes this young man very much.
Tang Long said: "Teacher, I broke through. β
"It's a breakthrough, okay, that's a good thing...... Wait!" Wang Feng, who didn't care about it, changed his face and grabbed Tang Long's arm, "I remember that you are a samurai intermediate and broke through, so you are now a samurai senior?"
"Yes. β
Tang Long nodded.
Wang Feng laughed and said, "Okay! good!" He patted Tang Long's shoulder hard, "Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, you came to me to ask for the Splitting Stone Fist, it just so happened to be on me." He handed over the book containing the Splitting Stone Fist to Tang Long, and advised: "Practice hard, strive to cultivate the Splitting Stone Fist as soon as possible, participate in the quasi-mercenary assessment next month, and break the record in one fell swoop." β
"I'll try. β
Tang Long went to the cultivation room specially used to cultivate martial arts.
Seeing Tang Long leave, Wang Feng's face could no longer hide his joy, and he laughed loudly, "Fifteen years and one month old warrior advanced realm, not to mention the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group, it has never appeared in the entire history of Beidou City, this is a real genius, it was taught by me Wang Feng." β
His laughter attracted the young people who were cultivating to look at him one after another.
Wang Feng strode to the martial arts arena, and as soon as he waved, all the teenagers ran over to stand in line, and he said loudly: "Tell everyone the news, Tang Long has reached the advanced realm of a warrior." β
Airplanes!
All the teenagers blew up.
"Tang Long actually broke through so quickly. β
"Fifteen years and one month old warrior advanced realm, unheard of, too powerful. β
"Next month's quasi-mercenary assessment will be passed, and he will set a new record for quasi-mercenaries, and it will be more than a year ahead of schedule, which is incredible. β
In the exclamation, there was only one person with a gloomy face, and he was Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao came out of the crowd, stood in front of Wang Feng, and said, "I don't believe it. β
The hustle and bustle around immediately quieted down, and his eyes looked at Luo Xiao in unison.
"I don't believe anyone can reach the advanced level of samurai at the age of fifteen. Luo Xiao gritted his teeth and said stiffly.
"Oh? Wang Feng said.
Luo Xiao said word by word: "Test him!"
Wang Feng touched his chin and muttered, "Speaking of which,
