The night passed quickly, but nothing happened again during the night.

When it was dawn the next day, Jiang Yuan, who had been meditating and cultivating in bed, finally opened his eyes.

The internal force in the body finally began to gradually condense.

"My current strength is about the fifth level of the body refining mirror, such a speed...... It's too slow. ”

After a whole night of hard work, Jiang Yuan relied on the body transformed into a martial arts wizard, and practiced martial arts to the fifth level of the body refining mirror, which is actually not slow, even if it is placed in another time and space, it can be regarded as a miracle speed.

But Jiang Yuan was accustomed to being with great power, and everything was destroyed by brute force.

Now that he has become a mortal who is so weak that even weak demons and ghosts have to worry about it, such a gap makes Jiang Yuan not get used to it.

"I'm so weak now, I hope I won't be too strong. ”

If the consciousness of the special foundation is put into the body of a demon, it will undoubtedly be more troublesome.

In this case, at least in terms of personal strength, Jiang Yuan cannot be compared.

However, even if it is a demon here, it may not be able to occupy much advantage.

After all, demons still have to lurk in the daytime, and can only move after dark.

And in this world, it is still the living who dominate.

"If I become a demon, how will I deal with it......? Kill them all!"

To win one of the ways to win the trial, all you have to do is let the other person die before you.

If you can't tell who the other party is, and you have enough strength, you only need to kill all the people here, and the other party will definitely die in it, and you can win the trial.

But unless you can kill everyone in a short period of time, if it takes a long time, you will definitely be seen by the opponent in the shadows, so as to judge his true identity.

If there is really a demon ghost who tries to kill everyone in this county in a short period of time, then Jiang Yuan will definitely tell the demon weapon that this guy is Zhuandian.

Jiang Yuan is not worried about Zhuan Dian turning into a demon, after all, the contest of strength does not occupy an absolute position here.

"I'm so hungry. ”

After a night of cultivation, Jiang Yuan's body had consumed a lot of essence, and this was the time to replenish energy.

For people, the most direct way to replenish energy is to eat.

And with the improvement of Jiang Yuan's martial arts strength, the amount of food will inevitably increase gradually, and he even needs to rely on some medicinal materials to assist.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan went out of the house and began to look for food in the house.

With the dawn, people from short-term jobs also came one after another, and they were busy in Xu's mansion.

The meal was quickly prepared at Jiang Yuan's request, and Jiang Yuan didn't bother to care about Lin Muqing, so he ate it openly by himself.

It wasn't until after eating a full meal that this weak body had some visible changes.

First of all, the puffiness of the wine began to fade gradually, and the whole person became radiant.

Although it looked like his body was still emaciated, his strength at that time was a level stronger than last night.

It can be said that the current Jiang Yuan, with his internal strength and the combat skills he has learned before, can be completely crushed if he fights with ordinary people with his bare hands.

Unless the opponent is outnumbered and armed with a sword, especially a firearm......

"Firearms...... It's a real nuisance. ”

With a small number of ordinary blades, Jiang Yuan can flexibly dodge, but for the foreign guns of the foreign army that he saw yesterday, his own strength is now unable to resist at all, and he can't even dodge.

Not to mention that kind of mechanically powered humanoid armor, if he encountered it, Jiang Yuan would only have to flee for his life.

It is also unrealistic to improve personal strength in a short period of time, and Jiang Yuan has to think of other countermeasures.

Zhang Xiaoqiu's father, Uncle Zhang, also came to Xu Mansion to work, after all, Zhang Xiaoqiu's first seven years have passed, and her future affairs have been dealt with, and the living have to continue to live.

Jiang Yuan also took this opportunity to talk to him alone about the marriage with him, after all, Zhang Xiaoqiu is currently the most capable person around him, and it is of great use.

But it's also a ticking time bomb, and no one knows when it's going to eat away with reason.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan can't break the appointment with her at this time, he promised her last night that he would take her as a concubine, and he has to do it as soon as possible to appease her heart, so as not to resentful herself again.

After Uncle Zhang heard his request, his reaction was very cold, especially when he occasionally looked at Jiang Yuan, there was hatred hidden in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan knew that he must also hate himself for the murder of his daughter.

"That's it, Uncle Zhang. Jiang Yuan proposed, "Don't be in a hurry to doubt me, let me do everything for you." Well...... Tonight, I'll give you an explanation!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention to Uncle Zhang.

On the contrary, Jiang Yuan began to be vigilant in his heart, if it weren't for this Uncle Zhang who couldn't think about it for a while, what if he sought revenge on the negative heart for the sake of his tragic daughter and poisoned his own food.

Now although Jiang Yuan is already a martial artist of the Body Refining Mirror, he has no resistance to most poisons, and he will die if the poison is deep.

You don't see many martial arts heroes, but they fell because of the poisoning of the people around them, such as Huo Yuanjia.

Therefore, for Uncle Zhang, it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Let Zhang Xiaoqiu come to him tonight, then everything will be done tonight.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan left the Xu Mansion.

He also has many things to do, such as getting to know the place and also knowing himself.

The streets are much more lively during the day than at night.

There are many stalls on the street, and a table and a few stools can fill many people to drink morning tea.

Whenever Jiang Yuan passes by, the stall owner will always be warmly entertained:

"Childe come and sit, can you have a few barbecued pork buns?" or lotus paste buns?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, and then continued to move forward.

Soon, a group of blonde and blue-eyed missionaries carrying crosses suddenly appeared in front of the street.

Dressed in black, wearing black hats and holding black books, the missionaries lined up with banners with gold letters on a black background that read, "God loves the world." ”

The missionaries came and preached to the people around them:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God!"

As the so-called foreign monks chanted the scriptures, with the missionary's preaching, a group of people quickly gathered around to listen.

But the people were dispersed by a sudden group of officials, and they began to post notices on the streets.

A bearded man who seemed to be a headcatcher shouted at everyone:

"Mr. Johnson of the foreign bank was killed last night! After a detailed investigation by the Yamen, it is certain that the suspect is Wang Ziqiang, a Jiangyang thief who committed the crime! If any of you have clues to provide, you will be able to receive a reward from the Yamen!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he heard the words of this head catcher, could this be the way the yamen handled the case.

The foreigner who killed Johnson last night was clearly a demon.

It seems that these officials can't find out the murderer, so they casually planted the blame on a bandit in order to deal with the boss or foreigners.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and continued to wander the streets.

After walking two streets, he suddenly saw the people around him surging and running towards the front of the street.

As he ran, someone shouted:

"Someone's fighting! Let's go and see!"

With the crowd surging, Jiang Yuan also followed to see the excitement.

I saw that it was an open space next to an intersection, and many people were already in a circle at this time.

There was a wooden platform erected in the open space, and the wood and planks were yellowed and old, and it had been many years. It seems that whenever there is an important celebration, this wooden platform is used as a ceremonial stage or a stage.

At this time, the wooden platform became a dedication platform.

I saw a middle-aged man in a power suit standing straight, he was extremely athletic, wearing a blue-gray power suit, and his face was full of black scum.

The man's eyes were fierce and abnormal, and his momentum was tyrannical, and he hugged his fists at everyone in the audience, and his mouth was full of northern accents:

"I am Yan Zhennan of the Northern Province! When I first arrived in your land, I heard that the martial arts skills of your land are unparalleled, so I came to set up a competition to learn!

The man who called himself Yan Zhennan maintained a fist-hugging posture, and a pair of fierce tiger eyes stared at everyone in the audience, waiting for the challenger.

At this moment, a shout rang out among the people:

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way for the second master!"

I saw a group of fierce young people striding from outside the crowd surrounded by a man carrying a birdcage, and every time they met passers-by, they were unceremoniously kicked and pushed away.

And the people also seemed to avoid this group of people like snakes and scorpions, hurriedly giving way to a way, and at the same time whispered a lot of discussions:

"It's the Gale Gang! Are they here to fight?"

"Look, that's Wang Leopard, the second master of the Gale Gang! It is rumored that he is the second master of our county! Only under the leader of the Gale Gang!"

"This second master Wang Leopard is extremely ferocious, and he is a local snake, this time the martial artist on the stage is going to be unlucky!"

......

As the young people came to the stage, the man who was carrying the birdcage and was called the king leopard by the people walked out.

I saw that this Wang Leopard was dressed in a satin glossy black robe, he had a sharp beard under his chin, and a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Yan Zhennan on the stage, but he said with a smile in his mouth:

"Yankees, came to our Gale Gang's territory and asked us if you had you?"

Yan Zhennan on the stage still stood still, and he said in a deep voice:

"I'm just a martial artist, I only know how to test martial arts with others!

Wang Leopard laughed twice suspiciously, then threw the birdcage back in his hand, turned over and went to the ring:

"Okay, then I'll make a comparison with you northerners!"

Yan Zhennan stretched out his hand:

"Please!"

As someone challenged, someone under the ring began to hand over life and death.

At the same time, it is up to the elders to announce the rules:

"In the ring competition, the battle is voluntary, and life and death are at your own risk! The rest of the people retreat and are not allowed to help each other! It is not allowed to secretly release hidden weapons, and it is not allowed to form a crowd to retaliate! The victory or defeat is to be knocked out of the ring, to be killed or wounded, or to admit defeat to the effect! When the competition is over, the result is announced in public!"

With the announcement over, the tournament will soon begin.

Yan Zhennan and Wang Bao on the stage both began to put on a posture and moved slowly.

Jiang Yuan stood in the crowd and stared at the stage, thoughtful.

From the pace of the two and the movement of their bodies, Jiang Yuan was already able to roughly judge the strength of the other party.

That Wang Leopard was probably the strength of the early stage of the Tongli Realm, and Yan Zhennan had already reached the peak of the Tongli Realm.

This also made Jiang Yuan roughly understand why the world was dominated by foreigners' steam technology, but the imperial court was not wiped out, it turned out to be because of the existence of martial artists.

But this world seems to be backward in martial arts, and the strength of the Tongli realm dares to set up challenges.

The Tongli realm is only equivalent to training martial arts to perfection, but it has not been able to open an insurmountable distance from ordinary people, and ordinary people can also deal with this kind of martial artists through numerical advantages.

Only when the Four Extremes Realm is reached, it can be regarded as being able to completely crush ordinary people, so that ordinary people cannot defeat them by numbers alone.

In another time and space, when Jiang Yuan was on an errand in Yangcheng, there were three warriors in the Four Extremes Realm in the city, and the warriors of the Tongli Realm could only act as ordinary small leaders.

And among some large gangs, there are already many warriors in the Kaiyuan Realm, and there are even warriors in the Guizong Realm.

And in this time and space, ordinary people have a new advantage in the face of martial artists, that is, firearms.

It is very easy for foreigners' foreign guns to deal with martial artists in the Tongli Realm, but it is probably a little difficult to deal with martial artists in the Four Extremes Realm.

When the warrior reaches the Kaiyuan Realm where the internal force can be released, then he can crush the foreign spear at close range, and I am afraid that only the steam-powered humanoid armor can compete with it.

And the martial artist who has reached the realm of returning to the sect, the internal force can form a solid protection on the surface of the body, and the offensive power will reach a terrifying level, the foreign spear is already ineffective against the martial artist of this level, and even the humanoid armor can be easily destroyed.

"If I want my martial arts not to be eye-catching...... Jiang Yuan stared at the two martial artists who had already started fighting on the stage, "It's time to worship a master to cover up." ”
