In the southern part of the Cangling Continent, there is a small town called Qingyan Town. At this moment, the residents of Qingyan Town have already gotten up and started a new day's work.

And in one of the courtyards of Qingyan Town, when people had just begun to get up and work, a short figure had already appeared in the courtyard, and the young man hung upside down on a thick branch in a strange posture. At the same time, his hands and feet were tied with a heavy piece of iron.

Every time he exercised, the muscles of the boy's whole body would move with the help of this strange posture. The sweat on his head kept dripping, and when it was completely dawn, the ground under the boy was already wet with the sweat dripping from the boy.

From the face of this young man, there is no innocence and liveliness that should have been, and some only have the perseverance and sweat revealed in his eyes.

"Moli, take a break. A man's voice came out of the room, and although the voice was full of anger, it carried a sense of vicissitudes.

"Yes, Master. Hearing Master's order, Mo Li first removed the iron from his hands and feet, and then turned over deftly and landed firmly on the ground from the tree.

After calming his breath, Mo Li pulled up the iron pieces and put them back into the equipment room one by one.

"Mo Li, let's come in and have breakfast when you're done!" Master's voice came from the room again, along with the smell of breakfast.

In response to Master's call, Mo Li cleaned up his things even faster.

After a while, Mo Li came to the hut, where there was a small plate of side dishes, two bowls of white porridge and a few steamed buns on the table.

At the table with a home-cooked breakfast sat a middle-aged man of about thirty years old. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, facial features are solemn, and the chin is slightly bearded, showing some vicissitudes, but if you think that this is just an ordinary person, you are very wrong, because as long as you look carefully, you can find the essence of his eyes flashing from time to time.

"Master. Facing the middle-aged man in front of him, Mo Li did not have the slightest disrespect, but admired the master who adopted him and taught martial arts.

It was he who raised himself as an orphan since he was a child, taught himself to practice martial arts, so that he could also feel the love of his father when he was an orphan, and he had long respected Chu Nan as his father.

......

After a simple breakfast, Moli began to clean up the dishes on the table.

"Mo Li, you are nearly thirteen years old, and after a while, you will go to Qingyun City with your teacher to take the entrance test of the Southern Spirit Martial Academy. Chu Nan on the side was holding a cup of tea and drinking, looking at Mo Li who was cleaning up and said.

"Nanling Martial Academy?!"

Mo Li's eyes were full of yearning for the Southern Spirit Martial Academy, and the movements in his hands did not stop, while pricking up his ears and continuing to listen to Chu Nan.

The Martial Academy, which is a college that trains martial artists, has rich resources and the best teachers, no matter what your identity is, as long as you pass the test, you can enter and study, and the Nanling Martial Academy is the top three martial arts academy in the country.

Seeing Mo Li's excited appearance, Chu Nan smiled kindly, and took Mo Li to the courtyard, "Mo Li, you will go to participate in the martial arts academy assessment later, and the teacher will also leave to complete what I have not done, so you have to take good care of yourself, you know?"

Mo Li nodded, his eyes full of reluctance, but he was quickly covered by a determined gaze: "Master, can you tell the outside world what it is like?"

Perhaps moved by the firm and fiery light in Mo Li's eyes, Chu Nan pondered for a while before saying, "Master, I am from outside the Iron Heart Country, and the outside world is very vast, and I am dissatisfied with crises and opportunities everywhere. In addition, there are also a lot of things that have not been seen in the Tiexin country, all kinds of forces are everywhere, high-level martial artists can be seen everywhere, in short, if you want to travel to the continent, you must have strong strength. ”

"If you don't have strength, in the eyes of others, you're a reptile that can be pinched to death, so only with strength, it will be more convenient to do many things in the future, you know?"

"Hmm!" Mo Li replied heavily, the heat in his eyes did not dissipate because the outside world was dangerous after hearing his master's statement, but burst out with a more brilliant light and determination.

Although the outside world is very dangerous, there are many relative opportunities and exciting things, and you can increase your knowledge a lot.

The purpose of traveling to the mainland is to be able to see various landscapes and all kinds of interesting things, and to increase one's knowledge. Even if the road ahead may be dangerous, I'm going to break through!

Looking at the firmness in Mo Li's eyes, Chu Nan knew that Mo Li had understood the meaning of his words, so he smiled with relief.

"Mo Li, remember to retain this firmness and courage in order to go further and higher on the path of martial arts cultivation! This is the important truth I want to hand over to you, I hope you can keep it in your heart. ”

Mo Li nodded heavily: "Master don't worry, I will definitely keep this truth in my heart and never forget it!"

"Okay, but you also have to remember that although power is not good or bad, it only depends on the use of the individual, but I still hope that you will be able to use this power in the future to protect the people you want to protect, not to harm innocent people. Chu Nan said solemnly.

Mo Li nodded, do you want to protect the people I want to protect? Maybe there will be people I want to protect in the future, and then I will protect even if I fight with my life!

The current Mo Li already has the strength of a third-level martial artist, but he knows that this is only the weakest strength, if he wants to break into the continent, this weak strength alone is not enough, so he must become stronger.

With this thought, after Mo Li quickly cleaned up, he returned to the courtyard to continue training, Chu Nan looked at Mo Li's diligent appearance, and smiled with relief.

At this time, Mo Li, who was in the courtyard, began to punch according to a set of boxing techniques taught by Chu Nan, and when each punch was made, his sleeves were straightened by waving his fists, making bursts of sound.

Halfway through the beating, Mo Li suddenly felt an itch coming from the bones in his body that seemed to be eaten by countless ants.

However, Mo Li did not stop to stop the itching, but continued to punch hard. He knew that this itch was a sign that he was about to break through!

Sure enough, Mo Li gritted his teeth to endure the itch, and after a sharp punch, the unbearable itch disappeared, followed by the power emanating from the inside out of the bones and a crisp sound of "crackling".

"I've broken through, and now I'm a fourth-level martial artist!"

After the breakthrough, Mo Li suppressed the surprise, and continued to follow the remaining tricks to quickly complete a complete set of punches, and he could clearly feel that after the breakthrough, both the strength and speed of the punch were much higher than before the breakthrough.

At the same time, just when Mo Li had just broken through to the fourth-level martial apprentice, in a small hall somewhere that was not far away from here, the small hall was filled with many small lamps with the same appearance, and what was more unique was that these small lamps were not filled with lamp oil, but bright red blood, each of which was guided by blood, blooming with blood-red flames, and there was a jade plaque engraved with a name in front of him.

Among them, a small lamp that had not been lit suddenly bloomed with dazzling light. This change immediately attracted the attention of the guards at the door.

After seeing what was going on, one of the guards immediately left without stopping, his face still full of excitement. The other remaining guard stared at the small lamp that had just been lit without blinking, for fear that it would suddenly go out again.

Although the fire of the small lamp swayed in the wind, as if it was about to be extinguished, it still burned firmly, and the jade plaque erected in front of it was only engraved with an ink character.
