After all, the He family is also a big family in Fengcheng, and there are still resources to cultivate an acquired realm, although it will not be as good as Luoyang.

As long as the magnates on the side of Luoyang work hard, they can reach more than 95,000 strength when they reach adulthood. And in Fengcheng, even if a family cultivates with all their might, it is already rare to reach more than 90,000 strength the day after tomorrow.

Between the common people and the powerful, between the powerful and the high-ranking elites, the tilt of resources is clearly divided.

Zhong Wu was cultivated by all his strength in the He family at this time, and all resources were given priority supply, and what he wanted, the He family, who had just swallowed the Wang family, was not short of these resources.

It's just that with so many resources to fill in, Zhong Wu's strength growth is extremely limited.

It seems that Zhong Wu's talent is very poor, and many people in the He family have begun to mutter, is there any need to cultivate such qualifications.

However, Ning Zhi knew that this had nothing to do with qualifications. At this time, the growth of strength is only related to personal efforts and the amount of resources received.

Zhong Wu is only less than eight years old, and his strength is just in his early 10,000s, and it is said that after using a lot of resources during this period, he should usher in a skyrocket in strength.

However, Zhonggo's strength only increased by five hundred.

This is not a stage where it is difficult to improve at all without more than 90,000, but the initial stage of early 10,000.

But why is that?

Ning Zhi called Zhong Wu, the little boy is very sad now, he feels that he is very useless, and he is wasting other people's things.

Ning Zhi knew that the little boy should be very uncomfortable at the moment, so he didn't say anything about cultivation, but encouraged him a few words, telling him not to give up.

"The path of cultivation is a path of sailing against the current, there are many obstacles on the way, it is unrealistic to pray that there are no obstacles on the road, and there are obstacles and have the courage to climb over obstacles, this is the most important thing. Ning Zhi said gently, and the little boy's confidence was regained by Ning Zhi's encouragement. He nodded heavily, indicating that he would definitely overcome the obstacles.

It's very common to suddenly want to work hard to cultivate, but the difficult thing is to persevere.

It's just that Ning Zhi couldn't help but start thinking, is the problem from Zhong Wu, is there something wrong with him?

In the dense forest west of Fengcheng City, if you use the correct method to enter the dense forest, you will find that there is a cave inside.

From the outside, it doesn't look very big, but when you go inside, it's bigger than you can see.

And inside, as Ning Zhi's speculation, is indeed cultivating an army. The military discipline inside was strict and orderly, and there was a sense of slaughter. But what's even more surprising is the large space cut out of thin air.

Xu Kai just felt that this place was very magical, limited by his knowledge, he would not realize what kind of great power was needed to cut out such a large space out of thin air.

It is precisely because of this space that Ning Zhi imagined it at all, and only two or three thousand soldiers have been cultivated at most.

It's tens of thousands of famous soldiers, tens of thousands of great innate level soldiers!

Note that it's just soldiers, soldiers like Xu Kai, and there are many other people here. There are also all kinds of facilities in it.

Ning Zhi still underestimated this place in the end, people like Xu Feng wander around all the year round, really just to take care of the families of the soldiers? In fact, it is also to recruit people.

Ning Zhi only noticed those who were orphaned by the soldiers, or who were missing. But Ning Zhi ignores those orphans, beggars, and wanderers who have a very low sense of existence in the world. These are the people at the lowest level of society.

Ning Zhi felt something wrong when he first entered Maple City, because he subconsciously noticed the entire Maple City at that time, and he didn't see these wanderers, beggars, or orphans.

Is it because Maple City is safe? No, it's because they're all here.

Not only Maple City, but also many cities around Maple City.

Xu Kai was inevitably punished after returning to the team, Xu Kai did not complain, gritted his teeth and took all the punishments.

The punishment here is not a punishment such as beating, because that would keep the soldier in bed for a long time. The punishment here is to increase the training, the tasks that you want to complete every day, and the progress of your cultivation.

If you can't finish it, you'll go hungry.

This is a good means of persecution here, and no one wants to not even be able to eat after a hard day's work, not to mention that many of them come in just for a full mouthful.

When Xu Kai completed all the punishments, he breathed a sigh of relief. The middle-aged man who Xu Kai called Nie Shuai found him again.

Xu Kai is just an ordinary soldier here, but this Nie Shuai is a very high-level Jiang Jun here. Calling him Nie Shuai is what Marshal Nie means.

Xu Kai was very strange why he was looking for him, when Nie Shuai went out to find him back in person, he was already very surprised.

Bringing Xu Kai to his office, Nie Shuai explained with a smile, "Don't be surprised, in fact, I started paying attention to you a long time ago. Your father used to have some connections with me, so I paid more attention to you. ”

Xu Kai was taken aback, he said in surprise, "You know my father!?"

Nie Shuai nodded and said, "Not only your father, but also many fathers or grandfathers here, I know them, and they all have some relationship with me. There is a sense of comradeship. ”

Nie Shuai knocked on the table and said with a sigh, "I also participated in the battle with the Spirit Clan in the past. ”

"Then do you know the reason for the defeat of that battle at that time?" asked Xu Kai eagerly.

Ning Zhi knew about the battle, but he didn't know the specific process. Xu Kai, as an orphan of a soldier, knows more in detail. His father had come to the border at the height of the battle with the Spirit Clan, and he had the idea of serving his country.

But by the time his father had passed, the tide of battle had already begun to turn in his favor.

But one day, his father's army was suddenly wiped out. In the case that the Great Han had clearly gained the upper hand, there was no warning of being destroyed. So much so that Xu Kai once suspected that this was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

"Yes. Nie Shuai said lightly, "But I can't tell you, and I won't tell you." You don't have the ability and the disposition to know what to do and to bear it. ”

"What do you mean? Is there indeed a hidden secret? Why don't you tell me! That's my father, he died for the country and the people!" Xu Kai said emotionally.

Nie Shuai didn't speak, but looked at Xu Kai gently.

Slowly, Xu Kai realized who was standing in front of him. He gritted his teeth, but finally didn't ask anything more.

Nie Shuai only spoke at this time, "I can tell you that there is indeed a hidden secret, but I won't tell you the specifics, it's not that I can't say it, but you can't bear it now." But you can rely on your own ability to find the truth, and I think you should have enough growth at that time to really see the world, and you can bear the truth. ”

Xu Kai was stunned, he wanted to say that I would grow up, and I would be so powerful that I really explored this truth. But he couldn't say it, no matter how young and ignorant he was, Xu Kai also knew that he was just an ordinary soldier.

Before that, his biggest goal was just to work hard and try to bring his sister in.

In this world, he is just a very insignificant and insignificant little person.

"I see what you mean. Nie Shuai took out a stone, put it on the table, and said, "Here, many people have the same background as you, but I just revealed this to you, do you know why?"

Nie Shuai pointed to the stone on the table and said, "Hold it, absorb him, and let me confirm whether my guess is right or wrong." ”

"What do you mean, what is right, what is wrong?" Xu Kai asked with a frown, but he still held the stone.

Subconsciously operated the exercises, and the stones suddenly turned into brilliance, and then a lot of branches grew on the stones, and the branches glowed with green light, wrapping Xu Kai's hands.

Xu Kai looked at this scene in surprise, and looked at Nie Shuai inexplicably.

"Looks like my guess was right. Nie Shuai was a little excited, he looked very happy, "If you guess wrong, you work several times harder than ordinary people, and there will be a slight possibility of finding the truth." But if it's true, then there's a good chance you'll find the truth. ”

Nie Shuai laughed, "Congratulations, compared to others, you are relatively much luckier. ”

Looking at the confused look on the young man's face, Nie Shuai laughed, he pointed to the stone in Xu Kai's hand and said, "What you have in your hand is a spiritual core of a wood-attribute demon beast, and the reason why this is the case is because you are a holy body that is rare for my human race in a hundred years." ”

"Taiyi Tianmu Body!"
