evening

The roof of the Ling family's partial courtyard

Xingchen had a bandage on his chest, leaning on the roof, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, chewing slightly, allowing the faint bitter taste of grass to spread in his mouth.

Xingchen raised his slender palm in front of him, and looked at the stars in the sky through his fingers.

"Hey! No matter what life you are in, if you want to win respect, if you want to protect the people you care about, and if you want to have a stable past life, you need to have strong strength as the foundation! Thinking of what happened in the Ling family's compound in the afternoon, Xing Chen sighed at the stars in the sky, and then muttered to himself in a low voice.

Xingchen has always hidden a shocking secret in his mind, he was not called Xingchen, his soul did not belong to this body, or his soul did not belong to this world. Rather, it comes from a blue planet called Earth. 17 years ago, he died in an accident on the earth and came to this world mysteriously, possessed a newborn baby, and then lived in such a daze for seventeen years.

His previous life was called Ling Tian, he was an orphan, he was adopted by a secret organization since he was a child, and since he can remember, he has been constantly training in systematic military, firearms, ancient martial arts, assassination and other subjects, with the aim of building him into an all-round super soldier.

In his previous life, he began to perform mercenary missions independently at the age of ten, and in his ten years of mercenary career, he set a record of sixty SSS top missions and one hundred SS-level missions in the mercenary world and killer world; One hundred and thirty S-Class missions; As well as hundreds of A-level difficulty missions, he has never failed in the horror record, and countless experiences of rolling in the sea of corpses and blood, so that he has the title of killing gods in the dark world of the earth. In some places, his name can even scare crying children.

And when he was twenty years old, he betrayed the organization that had cultivated him since he was a child, and destroyed the organization with the means that the organization taught him, because he didn't want to be a killing weapon in the hands of the organization anymore, and the way to get out of that secret organization was to destroy the organization except death. After destroying the organization, he recruited a group of subordinates to set up his own mercenary group, but within a few years, his mercenary group became the world's first mercenary organization, and he became the recognized king of mercenaries in the mercenary world.

Until one day, his mercenary group was surrounded and suppressed by a military power on the earth, and under the fire of thousands of modern land, sea and air artillery, his mercenary organization and he, the king of mercenaries who were famous on the battlefield, were buried in the sea of fire.

Ling Tian originally thought that he was dead, but he didn't expect that he would be able to wake up again, the most surprising thing to him was that he had become a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, originally he thought he was dreaming, but after a long time, he realized that this was not a dream, but he was reborn, or he was traveling, the world he was in now was not the earth where he was in his previous life, but in a completely new world. And his luck in this life is not very good, the baby he possessed is not good, he has not even seen his biological father in this life, and his mother was also hunted down by the enemy for various reasons, her injuries worsened, and finally chose to die with the enemy, and he was handed over to Ling Tao, the previous head of the Ling family, who had some friendship with his mother, to raise, and Ling Tao handed over the Ling family that he brought back to Qingshan Town to his son and the current head of the Ling family, Ling Aoyun.

As Xingchen grows older, he also has some vague understanding of the world in this life, the world he is in this life is called the Firmament Continent, which is different from the earth with advanced technology in the previous life, compared to the original earth, the Firmament Continent is quite primitive in comparison, there are not so many advanced planes, tanks, and cannons on the earth that can arm human beings to the teeth and make human beings fly away, and there are not so many kinds of technologies that can change human lives and allow human beings to dominate nature. The world is lit even by open flames.

However, in many aspects, the Firmament Continent is more primitive than the earth in the previous life, but it is not lagging behind, because there are many powerful martial arts practitioners on this Firmament Continent, and some powerful martial artists even have the ability to destroy the world. And the Dou Qi has been multiplied to the peak through the efforts of countless generations on this continent, and in this Dou Qi has been completely integrated into the life of human beings, and even has become closely related to the lives of human beings.

Now on the Firmament Continent, whether it is a babbling child or an old man with white hair, they are all martial artists who practice fighting spirit. Even the quantity or quality of the cultivators of the Dou Qi martial arts has become a sign that reflects the degree of a family and even a strong one, because the continuous reproduction of the Dou Qi has also led to the differentiation of countless Dou Qi cultivation methods on this main line, the so-called hands are long and short, and these countless differentiated Dou Qi cultivation methods are naturally strong and weak.

And after a rough induction, the exercises of Dou Qi cultivation can be divided into four levels of cultivation exercises from low to high: Huang, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven, and the heaven-level exercises are not the limit, and even above this there are legendary king-level and emperor-level exercises, but this only exists in legends, whether there are exercises of that level remains to be verified, at least in Qingshan Town, where Xingchen lives, and even in the Tianfeng Country where he is located, there are no exercises of such a grade, and the corresponding exercises are divided into three grades: primary, middle, and high.

For example, the martial arts of cultivating Xuan-level exercises will naturally be a few points stronger than those of the same level of martial arts who practice yellow-level exercises, and the corresponding martial artists who cultivate earth-level exercises will also be much stronger than those who practice Xuan-level exercises.

And since there are different grades of exercises that can distinguish the strength of a martial artist, another important factor that depends on the strength of a martial artist is martial arts.

What is martial arts?

As the name suggests, it is actually a special skill that can maximize the fighting spirit in the martial artist's body, and the grade of martial arts is the same as the exercises, which are also divided into four levels: yellow, Xuan, earth, and heaven, and the legendary king-level and emperor-level martial arts that do not know whether they exist or not.

And the martial arts of the Firmament Continent are also countless, and the most widely circulated ones are basically popular martial arts, among which the most widely circulated are all kinds of yellow-level martial arts, the threshold and requirements for the cultivation of martial arts at this level are very low, generally speaking, as long as the martial artists who have crossed the threshold of martial arts can practice these yellow-level martial arts, as for the specific power, it can only depend on the talent of each person, as well as the degree of purity of the fighting spirit, but generally speaking, the power of the martial arts of the yellow order is limited.

And above the Yellow Rank is the Xuan-level martial arts, although the Xuan-level martial arts are not as widespread as the popular martial arts of the Yellow Order, but they are not so rare, some martial artists with a certain degree of cultivation or some small-scale family sects or forces, more or less have mastered several powerful Xuan-level martial arts, for example, the Ling family and Murong Villa's forces, they are all in each other's hands on several Xuan-level martial arts.

A level higher than the Xuan-level ground-level martial arts, this level of martial arts is a little rare, taking the Tianfeng Kingdom where Xingchen is now located as an example, the families or forces that can master the exercises of the earth-level martial arts are all the kings and princes of the Tianfeng Kingdom.

As for the Heavenly Rank Martial Arts, although they are not as ethereal as the legendary Saint-level Martial Arts, they are rarely passed down in the world, and in the Heavenly Wind Country where Xingchen is located, except for the royal family of the Heavenly Wind Country who has a Heavenly Rank Primary Martial Skill, there are really few people who have heard of such a level of martial arts in the Heavenly Wind Country.

The division of high-level martial arts is very detailed, not just a simple division by grade, even the same level of martial arts sometimes have a difference between strength and weakness, for example, some powerful martial arts in some families have special supporting Dou Qi cultivation exercises, and the power of the two is much stronger than the martial arts of the same level without supporting exercises. Of course, it is not impossible for these martial arts with matching exercises to be taken out separately for martial artists who have not practiced supporting exercises, but the power is greatly reduced.

In terms of probability, it is basically difficult for low-level martial artists to obtain high-level anti-heaven martial arts, but there are no absolutes in everything, the Firmament Continent is vast, there are thousands of races, and in the extreme east of the continent, there are barbarians who are known as infinitely powerful and have the power to open mountains and break stones, and there are strange Yan clans living in the 100,000 volcanoes in the north of the continent and other Jedi in the world, and there are countless alien races in some remote places on the continent......

Due to the vastness of hell, many high-level unknown monks, at the end of their lives, may take the exercises and martial arts they have practiced in their bodies to find a remote corner in the famous mountains and rivers to slowly sit down, and all the things they have learned are left in the place of sitting, waiting for those who are destined to obtain it.

And on the Firmament Continent, there is no shortage of allusions to relying on this kind of adventure to become a peerless powerhouse, of course, these stories have also created a group of people who daydream all day long, dreaming of this kind of adventure.

However, on this continent, more strong people still start from weakness through their perseverance, and they have become admired strong people step by step after decades of cold and summer, or even hundreds of years of cold and summer, so martial arts have been verified by countless ancestors along the way, and now his level division is more detailed than the division of martial arts, from primary to advanced realms are martial apprentices, martial artists, samurai, martial artists, great martial artists, generals, martial spirits, martial kings, martial arts, martial arts Above the Martial Venerable are the same ethereal Martial Saints as the Saint-level Exercises and Saint-level Martial Arts, and each realm is carefully divided into one to nine levels.

And within these major cultivation realms, the starting point of martial arts is the realm of martial arts, and only practitioners who have entered the realm of martial arts can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of martial arts practice, whether it is exercises and martial arts, they can also be practiced in the realm of martial arts.

As the name suggests, this realm can only be called the apprentice of martial arts, this realm is a realm that lays the foundation, the cultivator must cultivate a trace of weak fighting qi in the body, and then mobilize this faint fighting spirit to open up the meridians all over the body, so that the fighting qi can smoothly travel in the meridians in the limbs and hundreds of remains, forming a large and small fighting qi circulation in the body to lay the foundation for future martial arts practice, and when a martial artist opens up the meridians of the whole body, And the fighting qi in the human body has carried out a large cycle, which means that this martial disciple has successfully advanced to a martial artist, and from then on he can embark on the path of martial arts cultivation.

"Phew!" Xingchen, who was looking at the starry sky, suddenly spit out the grass in his mouth. Thinking of the confrontation with Murong Leiming during the day, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. He was a human being in two lives, and his experience naturally taught him that whether in his previous life or in this life, he could only control his own destiny if he had enough power.

Xingchen is a human being, and his soul power is much stronger than ordinary people, and the soul is born on the Firmament Continent, maybe it can make the soul grow a little bit as he grows older, but the growth rate is also very limited, no one in the Firmament Continent has never heard of any martial arts or exercises that can enhance the soul, even the legendary martial arts have no such effect. And the strength of the soul often depends on the speed at which a martial artist's fighting spirit condenses and recovers, as well as the comprehension ability of martial arts. To put it simply, the innate talent of a martial artist depends on the strength of the soul, and the stronger the soul strength, the higher the talent of the martial artist.

In this life, the strength of the soul is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the prospect of his martial arts is actually at the starting line compared to others, and the fact is also true, when other people's children are just babbling, the talented Xingchen has already begun to cultivate the Dou Qi Method, and began to condense the Dou Qi to open up the meridians in various parts of the body.

When the children of other families were still in the martial arts that they had just begun to learn, but when they were at the level of first- and second-order martial apprentices, Xingchen was already far ahead of them, and had reached the level of the amazing martial apprentice eighth order, and on his seventh birthday, Xingchen even reached the amazing martial apprentice ninth order, at that time, the entire Ling family was shocked, the seven-year-old martial apprentice was the ninth order, such a talent had even broken the record of the Ling family within thousands of years. At that time, there was even a prophecy of the Ling family that the Ling family was the first martial arts genius in thousands of years, maybe this was an opportunity for the Ling family to rise. At that time, Xingchen was loved by the Ling family, even Ling Ziyue and Ling Tianqi, who were a few years older than Xingchen, could not compare.
