"You don't fool me, this is obviously an excuse you don't want to teach me to deliberately make. How can there be a master who doesn't teach, and the apprentice can practice amazing martial arts by himself?" Ye Chen said with a dark face.

"Hehe, believe it or not, this door has always been like this. I won't teach you anymore, but I see that you are diligent and studious, and I will help you learn and help you grow up quickly. Come, let me see your current strength. ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand, stretching out a hand to Ye Chen.

Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't want to ask again, he pulled out his sword and put on a posture, looking at the old man.

"Flower fist embroidered legs, long-winded. ”

Seeing that Ye Chen was slow to attack, the old man came to him in a flash. Ye Chen didn't panic when he saw this, he had practiced for a few days. Nature can easily cope with it.

He took a slight step back and swung his sword at the old man. Seeing him respond like this, the old man just smiled and didn't mean to do anything. Just as the sword was about to hit the old man, I saw him slowly stretch out his left hand, use his thumb and index finger together, and tighten the sword with a slight squeeze.

Ye Chen hurriedly returned the sword, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the sword out, and the old man's two fingers were like steel teeth, stubbornly controlling the sword body, and he didn't move a single bit despite his full strength.

Seeing that he couldn't take it out by brute force, Ye Chen directly spun in the air, and began to spin with his sword.

The old man showed a pleased smile, his fingers slightly opened and let go of the sword, and then took a step forward to Ye Chen, and coldly stretched out his right hand, facing Ye Chen's chest is palm. It shook him away.

Ye Chen took a few steps back one after another, only then did he stabilize his figure, he touched his chest, and found that his body did not feel any discomfort except for a little pain just now, and instantly understood that the old man did not use all his strength.

Knowing that the old man would not be serious about himself, Ye Chen had no scruples and rushed directly to the old man. He slashed left and right, using all his might. But every time his sword was about to touch the old man, the old man just moved it lightly and dodged it, perhaps just like just now, he casually raised his hand and restrained the sword in his hand.

After a while, Ye Chen was already tired and panting, and even the hand holding the sword was shaking, on the other hand, the old man on the side stood there with one hand on his back calmly, and he didn't even catch a breath.

"You dead old man, didn't you say you were going to feed me, why do you only know how to hide?" Ye Chen gasped and accused.

"You also have to have the ability to feed the move, you can't even get close to me, how can you force me to make a move?" the old man said disdainfully.

"I don't care, I have to become a master in the shortest possible time, you don't understand my suffering, you'd better guide me carefully, otherwise I will announce your affairs to the whole village, saying that you can do martial arts and still be a master." ”

"Hehe......" The old man smiled when he heard this, and said, "Boy, are you going to threaten people?" believe it or not, I will end you up now, so that you have nowhere to go?"

"Then you don't do it? I tell you, I'll definitely say it. ”

Ye Chen roared, swung his sword again and rushed towards the old man, and the old man no longer dodged, and directly handed him over.

Both of them knew that Ye Chen knew that the old man would not kill him, let alone kill himself. The old man also knew that the reason why Ye Chen was in such a hurry to improve his strength was to step out of the village as soon as possible and avenge the extermination of the clan.

The two fought until dusk, although the old man showed mercy everywhere and only used two percent of his strength, but at this time, Ye Chen had already had a blue nose and swollen face, and his face was unrecognizable.

After the last rendezvous, Ye Chen was knocked away by the old man's palm and fell to the ground.

"Cool ......"

Ye Chen let out a long roar, and suddenly flipped up, since his mother told him about his life experience, he had suppressed a fire, and now that it was released, he suddenly felt a lot lighter.

He didn't blame the old man for his injury. On the contrary, he was glad that the old man had injured him. Because only in this way can we make continuous progress and quickly improve our strength.

"Old man, I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow at noon, and if you don't come, I'll tell the whole village. ”

Ye Chen laughed and glanced at the old man, and then walked away alone with his sword.

Looking at Ye Chen's back, the old man shook his head helplessly, he knew that Ye Chen was burdened with a sea of blood, so he was willing to feed him. If he didn't know this, even if Ye Chen really told the whole village, he wouldn't do it.

Now Ye Chen was overly eager to improve his strength, ignoring the process of enlightenment. Although this can quickly improve the strength, the mood is unstable, and it is easy to go on the wrong path. As a person who has come before, he knows this better than anyone else.

Ye Chen returned home happily, Jiang Yingyue was stunned when she saw his red and swollen face, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Ye Chen responded to her vaguely, and never said anything about the old man.

Seeing that Ye Chen was fine except for his swollen face, Jiang Yingyue was also relieved, and just told him to be careful in the future.

Ye Chen returned to the room, lay on the bed and gasped heavily. Through the old man's feeding move today, his agility has improved a lot, and although he was beaten by fat, he is still happy.

He carefully took out the dragon scales that his mother had given him yesterday from under his pillow and nested them quietly in his hands. With the red light of the dragon scales flashing back and forth, Ye Chen fell asleep unconsciously.

Ye Chen woke up early the next morning, and after finding that the dragon scales were still in his hand, he carefully placed the dragon scales under the pillow. Then he jumped out of bed.

He just jumped lightly, as usual, but this time he jumped very high, hitting the beam directly on the house, and then the center of gravity was unstable and fell all at once.

Touching the forehead he had just hit, Ye Chen secretly called out that he was unlucky, but after a while, he was excited again, and he suddenly understood that the reason why he was able to jump so high must be because of yesterday's feeding. Thinking of this, he even hoped that the old man could punch him one more time, so that he could improve his strength a little faster.

Ye Chen didn't stay in the room for long, he was pressed for time now, in addition to helping his mother manage the shop, he had to find the old man, so he naturally cherished his time very much.

After going downstairs, Jiang Yingyue was stunned when she saw his face. Obviously, yesterday my nose was still blue and my face was swollen, but today's swollen face like a pig's head disappeared all at once. Jiang Yingyue couldn't believe her eyes, and blinked vigorously, wanting to see if she was dazzled.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with that? Is there a word on my face?"

Ye Chen was puzzled by Jiang Yingyue's expression, and stepped forward and waved his hand in front of her.

"Your face...... Okay!" Jiang Yingyue covered her mouth with a look of disbelieving.

"What? Isn't it swollen?"

Ye Chen was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and touched his face with his hand, he had just hit his forehead, so he naturally ignored his appearance.

"Alas...... If it doesn't hurt, is it really better? Is it possible? The swelling is so bad that it goes away overnight?"

Ye Chen was a little unconvinced, and pinched his face vigorously, but he didn't feel much pain. It wasn't until he came to the tank with doubts and saw his own reflection in the water that he believed he had recovered.

"Could it be that the injuries suffered by the cultivation can heal quickly?" Ye Chen muttered.

After learning that there are so many benefits to improving his strength, he wants to be stronger more and more so that he can do more.

After helping Jiang Yingyue sell the tofu, he ran to the grove outside the village with his sword. The old man had his hands behind his back and his back to him, apparently having been waiting for a long time.

"Old man, so you are so afraid that I will expose you?" Ye Chen joked with a smile, approaching the old man step by step.

"Huh, what's wrong with your pig's head face?" the old man turned his head and stared at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Do you really not know or pretend not to know?

Ye Chen sneered, he thought that the old man was deliberately teasing him.

"Heh, I've been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and I've never heard of being injured one day and healed the next day. ”

"Could it be ......"

The old man suddenly stopped talking as he spoke, staring at Ye Chen with a suspicious expression, surrounding him as if he was looking at some strange animal.

He saw it the day Jiang Yingyue gave Ye Chen dragon scales. And he had heard some rumors about dragon scales when he walked the rivers and lakes before, but he had never seen dragon scales before, thinking that they were just ordinary scales. And that day, when he saw the dragon scales glowing red, he knew that they were not mortal.

"Could it be that the rumors are true, dragon scales can really help people improve their cultivation and repair their wounds?"

The old man thought in his heart, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Ye Chen's face.

"What are you doing? Is there anything strange about me?"

Ye Chen grabbed his hand at once. The old man's eyes made him very uncomfortable, as if he had been violated.

"Well, if that's true, it will do you a lot of good. The old man withdrew his hand and looked at Ye Chen with a smile.

"Come, let me see how much you've improved today?" said the old man, holding out his hand.

"Inexplicable. ”

Ye Chen glanced at him unhappily, and then directly drew his sword and stabbed him. After yesterday's incident, Ye Chen understood that it was useless to put too many flowers, it was better to do it directly, so that at least he could take it by surprise and take the opponent off guard.

After less than two rendezvous, Ye Chen was still beaten to his stomach, and the huge difference in strength made it difficult for him to resist. Even if the old man deliberately released the water, he still couldn't survive the two rendezvous.

Ye Chen, who was defeated, was not angry, he knew that only through the training of actual combat could he better stimulate his potential.

After getting up, he continued to make moves, and the old man also fed him seriously. It was only when he showed his flaws that he made a move, knocking him out with a single blow.

The two fought again until dusk, and Ye Chen was beaten again with a blue nose and swollen face. This time, the old man's last blow used a little more force, and directly knocked him out of blood.

The reason why the old man did this was not for the sake of simple feeding. Instead, I wanted to see if Ye Chen would be in good condition when he came tomorrow.
