Lead clouds drifted, the night was hazy, there was no moonlight in sight, only a cool night breeze blowing gently.

In the middle of the night, in a side room in the restaurant, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered a state of cultivation, with a Xuanqing heavy sword next to him.

The two battles during the day were not affected by him at all, and the competition with the acquired martial artist was just a small test.

After all, he has stepped into the innate realm, and his strong strength is far from being comparable to that of an acquired martial artist, if it weren't for the sake of hiding his strength, he would also be able to defeat the other party with one sword like Ximen Qiuze and win cleanly.

But he doesn't want to do that, exposing his strength is just a show, in addition to making his opponent feel intimidated, it is easy to cause others to speculate about his identity, and there is no great significance.

In the dark room, he controlled the rhythm of his breathing, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his skin rolled like waves, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't detect it.

The breath moves with a peculiar rhythm, the blood in the body continues to accelerate the flow, and the innate true yuan in the dantian runs rapidly along the meridians, and between one exhale and one inhale, the whole body is like an exhaustor, constantly squeezing and contracting, surging and trembling, producing a strange tension, squeezing out the impurities in the deep layers of flesh and blood.

After Lu Chen's breakthrough through the innate nature, he was now able to apply the 'Golden Toad Tuna Technique' to a higher level.

Ordinary people's breath expands and contracts through the lungs, so when people are born, they begin to absorb air to survive, although the air in this heaven and earth contains the aura of heaven and earth, but most of it contains impurities and dust.

Originally, when ordinary people were in the mother's womb, the major tendons and veins of the body were unblocked, but with the inhalation of air, naturally, those impurities were deposited in the tendons and veins, and it was easy to block the tendons and veins over time.

This is also why martial artists have to boil their muscles and bones and temper their membranes since they were young, the purpose is to exercise the flexibility of their muscles and bones, discharge impurities in the body, and lay a good foundation.

There are countless veins and veins in the human body, which are spread all over the body. However, the vast majority of acquired martial artists have opened up the tendons and veins, but they are only opening up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the two veins of Rendu, and the twelve main meridians, and the rest of the small tendons and veins are still in a state of blockage.

However, after experiencing the innate baptism, Lu Chen now has a more refined control over the blood, muscles, bones, and epithelia in his body, and can even manipulate the innate true element to spread throughout the body and clean and dredge those small tributaries.

The thin pores of hair and blood that were originally closed on the skin were awakened one by one, as if the baby opened its small mouth, greedily absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, running with the blood in the tendons and veins, along the limbs, surging all over the body, frantically nourishing the flesh and blood, making his flesh more resilient and strong. After a week of circulation, the aura of heaven and earth is discharged along the pores, forming a rhythm with the breathing.

After only a while, Lu Chen gradually sweated, his body was stinky, and the sweat was even blacker, a little sticky, and exuded an unpleasant stench, but the overall quality of his body quietly underwent subtle changes!

"Whew!" At this moment, a faint sound of wind sounded outside the window, followed by a hidden weapon.

Lu Chen's six senses were sensitive, and he instantly sensed that someone was sneaking up on him outside the window, his eyes opened like lightning, bursting out with amazing momentum, and as soon as he reached out like lightning, he volleyed the hidden weapon shot from the window.

If you look closely, it turned out to be a peanut.

"Whoosh!" Immediately after, a figure flashed outside the window.

"Who!" Lu Chen snorted, grabbed the Xuanqing heavy sword and rushed out of the window like lightning, only to see that on the ridge not far away, a mysterious black cloth was speeding towards the outskirts of the city.

Lu Chen's eyes froze, hesitated for a while, touched the ground on his toes, turned into a big bird, and followed the mysterious figure and flew past.

The southern capital city is criss-crossed, and the streets are like ravines, cutting through the luxury mansions. On the roof of a bustling street, two figures swept towards the outskirts of the city, one in front of the other.

None of the pedestrians below noticed that two figures were chasing each other overhead.

Tracked to a dense mountain forest, but suddenly disappeared the trace of the mysterious person, as if he had disappeared, Lu Chen held the Xuanqing heavy sword, looked around vigilantly, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.

In the silent mountain forest, the trees shook gently, making a slight sound, and the leaves swirled and fell with the wind, but there was no sound of any insects and birds, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

At this moment, brushing, a cold sword light suddenly slashed from behind him like lightning, and the momentum was amazing.

Lu Chen's scalp exploded, and he reflexively turned around, and blocked with a horizontal sword.

The sound of the bell and the sparks splashed everywhere.

Immediately after that, the mysterious figure flashed away, and suddenly disappeared in front of Lu Chen's eyes, and around a curve, it ghostly approached Lu Chen's right side, and a misty sword light lit up.

"What a fast sword!" Lu Chen was startled, and held the Xuanqing heavy sword in his backhand and slammed it backwards and upwards!

The two swords collided, the dazzling sparks flickered in the dark night, and a terrifying force surged, Lu Chen's left hand was suddenly shattered with a trace of blood, and the whole person also took three steps back, and every step back, he stepped on the ground with a clear footprint.

Whoosh, the mysterious figure was unforgiving, stepped forward, and swung his sword again and again, each sword was extremely light and elegant.

The dense sword light was like a continuous drizzle, enveloping the landing dust, one sword after another slashed angrily, the opponent's figure flickered continuously, and the sword light split out from different angles, as if the wind was everywhere, and the force was terrifyingly strong.

Brush Brush Brush ...

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, resisted and dodged again and again, retreating step by step, everywhere he went, trees fell one after another, the incisions were as smooth as a mirror, and the front of his vision was filled with the fierce red sword shadow.

At the critical juncture, the reaction of the whole person was raised to the limit, and the thick Xuanqing heavy sword was like life in his hand, swinging it at great speed, and the continuous afterimage formed a cyan sword curtain, and the sword light shrouded in front of him was swept away without leakage.

It seems that this Xuanqing heavy sword is a part of his body, and it is extremely flexible, and it can block the opponent's sword just right every time.

After the two sides collided dozens of times, brushing, the mysterious figure disappeared in vain, like a ghost blending into the dark night, looking extremely weird.

The fierce attack to the sudden silence, this process was only a stalemate for a moment, Lu Chen was already sweating profusely, and the left hand holding the sword couldn't help trembling, who was the other party, and attacked him in the middle of the night for no reason.

He didn't know who the opponent was, he only knew that this swordsmanship was very powerful, and in the case of dealing with it with all his strength, it was almost his limit to be able to defend it, and the strength of the person who came was even more terrifying than he imagined, but who would this mysterious master be?

Brush, a red light pierced through the dark night, everywhere he went, the air rippled in circles, as if time and space had been pierced, the oppressive momentum made Lu Chen's face change greatly, this special aura instantly made him judge that the other party was an innate powerhouse! Realizing the terrifying nature of the other party, Lu Chen suddenly burst out of his true strength without hesitation.

"Boom!" A scorching fiery red true yuan ran wildly from the dantian, pouring into all parts of his body along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, forming a fiery aura on the surface of his body, and it was hard to stretch out the oppressive momentum.

At the same time, wisps of scorching fiery red true yuan wrapped around the Xuanqing heavy sword, causing Lu Chen's entire momentum to soar to the peak, he immediately gritted his teeth, did not evade, and brandished the Xuanqing heavy sword and stabbed it fiercely.

It's like the tip of a needle against a wheat!

The moment the two blades touched, Peng, a terrifying fluctuation instantly erupted, and in an instant, the flowers and trees in a radius of hundreds of feet were subjected to a strong shock, and they shattered inch by inch.

A terrifying force came from the impact, causing Lu Chen to retreat in an instant, his internal organs were shaken by a lot, and his body was even more churning.

"Boy, you have broken through the innate nature!" A shocked voice sounded, which immediately made Lu Chen stunned.

How did you hear this familiar tone somewhere?

He looked up and took a closer look, and a face with a full beard appeared in front of him, especially the evil smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people remember it very deeply, this is not who Duguxia is!

"Brother Dugu, why are you?" Lu Chen immediately put down the Xuanqing heavy sword, his face shocked. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that the mysterious person who attacked him at night turned out to be Duguxia, who had not been seen for almost a year, which made him cry and laugh.

Dugu Xia put away the 'Red Charm Divine Sword', looked at Lu Chen with an incredible face, and exclaimed with an exclamation on his face: "Little brother, I haven't seen you for a year, your changes are really great!" Through the innate true yuan that Lu Chen had just burst out, he immediately determined that Lu Chen had broken through to the innate realm.

If he hadn't seen this scene with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that Lu Chen, this little guy, had actually broken through, which was even more shocking than when he found a divine weapon.

Lu Chen, this little guy is only a little guy, at most he is in his early twenties, and he is already an innate powerhouse! Throughout the ages, it is not that there has never been such a demon in the history of Kyushu, but it is also one of the few, and it is a rare existence.

It can be seen that how great Lu Chen's potential is in the future, it is really terrifying!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Dugu Xiao would have thought he was dreaming!

"Brother Dugu smiled!" Lu Chen put away the Xuanqing heavy sword and smiled indifferently.

Duguxia smashed it and smashed his mouth: muttered to himself: "Boy, you really know how to hide your strength!" Originally, I just wanted to try your skills, but I didn't expect that I would discover such a big secret, what do you kid want to do, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!"

"What's the matter, you think too much!" Lu Chen was also caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Duguxia, he just thought that the person who attacked him was sent by the 'Seven Killings'. I didn't expect to make such a big oolong.

Dugu Xia's gaze stayed on Lu Chen's left hand, and he said in surprise: "Isn't this the Xuanqing heavy sword of the Peerless Sword Saint?

"Brother Dugu knows this sword?" Lu Chen picked up the Xuanqing heavy sword with both hands, and said with a little doubt.

Duguxia snorted: "Cut, I'm not blind, how can I not recognize it!"

"Then what is Brother Dugu doing in Yangzhou?" Lu Chen diverted the topic and asked.

Duguxia laughed loudly: "Yangzhou holds the Hidden Dragon Competition, such a grand event, how can I not come!"

"That's right, it's in line with your temperament!" Lu Chen nodded when he heard this.

Duguxia jokingly smiled: "I heard that you also participated in this competition, and your performance is quite exciting, but with your current strength, it is only easy to win the top spot, and becoming famous in the world is just around the corner! If those big names of the eight major sects know that you have broken through to the innate level, I am afraid that your eyeballs will fall to the ground, haha, you have the style of Lao Tzu back then!"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "You think about this Hidden Dragon Contest too easily!"
