Chapter 16: Youth
At the foot of Cangyun Mountain, on the edge of a lake, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is squatting on his back with a stone lock larger than himself, the clothes on the boy's body have already been soaked with sweat, and his body seems to have reached the limit, the young man's face is full of unyielding looks, although the body has reached the limit, but he is still holding on.
"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred. Whew......"
The boy was doing it, and his mouth was counting, and when he counted to a hundred, the boy threw away the stone lock on his body, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.
"I was finally able to do a hundred strokes, and my body still has some strength left, it seems that I should have broken through to the first weight of the quenching body." The boy muttered to himself.
The stone lock under the boy's feet is a common thing in the Cangyun Domain, usually used to test the strength of the monk, and if he lifts the stone lock with all his strength and carries the stone lock to do a hundred squats, it can barely be regarded as a weight of quenching.
Of course, this is just the easiest way to test the strength of a cultivator in the Quenching Realm, the place where the young man is located is relatively remote, and it is not bad to be able to use such a stone lock, and the stone lock is engraved with runes, which can not only test the strength of the cultivator, but also use it to cultivate.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu ....."
The boy didn't need to look to know that this was his best friend from childhood to adulthood, and the boy turned around and saw his good friend running from a distance, and he was still carrying a basket in his hand. After a while, he came to the young man's side and said breathlessly.
"Just know you're here, give ........"
"Why are you here, I'm not afraid that your father will beat you." Xiao Yu took the basket and said.
"Cut, just don't let him know." The young man who said this had a slightly dark skin, and his face was full of honesty.
The swarthy boy is called Tiezhu, he is Xiao Yu's good friend who has played since he was a child, after taking the rice basket, he opened it and saw that there were two steamed buns, plus a small dish, and some shredded meat in it, it can be seen that their life is not very good, this kind of meal is already very good for Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu picked up the steamed bun and ate it with a big bite of the side dishes, at this time, Tie Zhu saw the stone lock beside Xiao Yu, smiled and said to Xiao Yu: "You can lift the rock lock, is it possible that you have broken through to the weight of quenching." ”
Tie Zhu's tone was full of surprise, his friend could have such strength, and he was naturally happy to be a friend. After Xiao Yu heard Tie Zhu's words, he also smiled, being able to achieve the strength of quenching the body is naturally the result of his continuous efforts. It's just that the next scene made Xiao Yu's eyes widen like bull's eyes.
After Tie Zhu stood up, he stretched out his hand and lifted the rock lock above his head easily, as if he didn't have to make any effort, compared to Xiao Yu's best efforts just now. Xiao Yu opened his mouth wide, there were still steamed buns in his mouth that had not been swallowed, his finger pointed at the iron pillar, and he stammered: "You...... You...... Are you already a double strength of quenching? ”
There are six kinds of rock locks, which also correspond to the first six layers of the quenching realm, and those who can lift the rock lock in front of them so easily can only achieve the strength of the quenching body double and above.
Xiao Yu was very shocked in his heart, the strength of the iron pillar had made him forget to swallow the food in his mouth. So when he was talking, a piece of steamed bun stuck in his throat, causing Xiao Yu to cough constantly.
"Ahem......"
Seeing this, Tie Zhu immediately put down the rock lock, came behind Xiao Yu, and gave him relief, after a while, Xiao Yu recovered, and his little face became red, I don't know if it was because of choking, or because of Tie Zhu's strength.
"Slow down. ......" Tie Zhu said while helping Xiao Yu to breathe,
"Didn't you only break through to the first weight of the quenching body last month, how can you break through again so quickly." After Xiao Yu recovered, the first thing he said was to ask Tiezhu.
"I'm not a quenching double right now."
Tie Zhu's words made Xiao Yu's little face full of questions, but before Xiao Yu could speak, Tie Zhu immediately spoke.
"I'm a triple quenching body now."
"You..... Ahem, ahem, ahem....."
Xiao Yu seemed to be choked again, and kept coughing, and Tie Zhu immediately helped Xiao Yu when he saw this, but as soon as Tie Zhu came over, Xiao Yu pounced on him, hugged Tie Zhu, and then threw him to the ground, sat on him, and slapped Tie Zhu's buttocks.
"You're a good iron pillar, you actually teased me. See if I don't clean you up. ”
The strength of the iron pillar is much stronger than Xiao Yu, so naturally he will not be pressed under him, and as soon as the body is forced, it is to counter Xiao Yu, and it is also like Xiao Yu slapping his ass just now, and he will treat others in his own way.
"I'm still afraid of you, and you can't accept it now."
........
The two teenagers kept fighting, and after a long time, they stopped, both of them were dusty, and their faces were covered with mud, but they had smiles on their faces.
"You are powerful this time, if it weren't for the fact that the master hadn't eaten enough, he would definitely not lose to you." Xiao Yu gasped and said unconvinced.
"Cut, Uncle Ben is letting you, otherwise with your small body, you won't be able to withstand my punch." Tie Zhu said with a smile.
Xiao Yu knew that Tie Zhu was telling the truth, in the fight just now, Xiao Yu also knew that what Tie Zhu said was true, he really reached the triple quenching, Xiao Yu's heart did not have a trace of jealousy, and at the same time he was full of joy that Tie Zhu could have such strength, and at the same time he was determined in his heart, he had to double his efforts in the future, Tie Zhu had reached the triple of quenching, he was only quenching one weight now, if he didn't work hard, he would be left far behind by his friends.
"Okay, I've been out for a long time, and if I don't go back, my father will find out and be beaten badly." Tie Zhu said fearfully after thinking of going home and being caught and beaten by his father.
"It's just right, I've also broken through to the first weight of the quenching body, and it's time to change the rock lock, so let's go back with you." Xiao Yu said.
"Okay."
Tie Zhu grabbed the rock lock, carried it on his shoulder, and walked down the mountain, Xiao Yu did not stop him when he saw this, after all, if he came to get it himself, it would be a waste of time. Just after Xiao Yu packed up the rice basket and prepared to go down the mountain, his eyes suddenly looked in the direction of his right, and a black shadow slowly walked out of the depths of the forest at that moment.
After the black shadow completely walked out of the forest, Xiao Yu found that it was a young man, although his body was covered with stains, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and the whole person looked like a beggar, but judging from his face, he was a young man, and he should not be very old.
"Someone." Xiao Yu shouted, Xiao Yu's shout also attracted the attention of Tie Zhu, he looked behind him, and also found the young man who was like a beggar, and immediately dropped the rock lock and came to Xiao Yu's body, looking vigilant.
