Wu Guo.

Beilu Mountain Range, Beilu Academy.

The academy is built on the mountain, covering an area of thousands of acres, and the courtyard is full of attics. As the largest academy in the martial arts, the atmosphere of martial arts practice in the Beilu Academy is extremely strong, and it has cultivated a lot of civil and military ministers for the martial arts. The young children of Wuguo are eager for Beilu Academy.

The Beilu Academy is divided into the lower courtyard and the upper courtyard.

There are more than 1,000 juveniles in the lower court, most of whom are in their teens, and their strength is from the first to the third level of the martial arts refining period.

There are about more than 200 students in the upper courtyard, slightly older, fifteen or sixteen years old, and their strength is at the fourth to sixth level of the martial arts refining period.

The sky was just dawning, and in the martial arts training hall of the academy, thousands of teenagers wearing cyan shirts in the lower courtyard were practicing martial arts. Around the martial arts training school, there were more than a dozen solemn-looking sect heads, urging the young people to practice martial arts diligently.

"Bang, bang, bang!. ”

More than 1,000 teenagers lined up neatly in the martial arts training school, each with an arm-thick hardwood stake in front of them, and the teenagers kicked and beat the hardwood stakes, practicing their fists and feet. The sound of neat fists and feet breaking through the air, and the sound of clothes hunting, resounded throughout the entire martial arts training ground.

Fifteen-year-old Ye Chen, in this large phalanx of thousands of students, cultivated his fists and feet.

"I've been stuck in the third layer of the refining stage for several years, and I don't know when I'll be able to break through!"

Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart, and slammed his fists and feet into the hardwood stake, slamming the hardwood stake. However, his strength was not enough to break the hardwood stake

"The cultivation of martial artists is based on refining the physique, which is also called the refining period. ”

The head of the lower house, an old man in a gray robe, with his hands behind his back and his waist straight, glanced at the young men in the lower house with a cold face, and drank fiercely.

As soon as the young men saw the gray-robed old man start to speak, they immediately stopped.

"The refining period is divided into nine layers. At the beginning of the refining body, one to three layers are used to refine the physique, including skin and flesh, fascia, and bone marrow. With cultivation, the strength gradually increases, and the strongest arms can have the strength of three hundred catties, and they can pull out the three-stone heavy bow. ”

"Hitting wooden stakes to practice fists and feet is the basic skill in the early stage of body refining. Before breaking through the third layer of the refining period and breaking the hardwood stake with force, you need to keep practicing. Don't think that staking is boring and boring. There are many civil and military ministers in the Martial Kingdom, top masters, don't look at their current majesty, but they have all been in the Beilu Academy, honestly playing hardwood stakes for several years, and have worked hard!"

"Once you break through the early stage of refining, you will shatter a hardwood stake with the power of your fists and feet. When entering the fourth to sixth layers of the middle stage of the refining body, the bone marrow is strong, and the qi and blood are vigorous and intense, until the bones and blood of the whole body are full, and the qi power can reach up to 600 catties, which can subdue the tiger. After entering the middle stage of body refining, you can practice all kinds of martial arts, swordsmanship, swordsmanship, and shooting, which greatly enhances your combat power. ”

"You hairy boys in the lower courtyard have been carefully shown to the old man. The old man will let you take a look at the strength of cultivating to the sixth layer of the body refining stage!"

The gray-robed old man said, came to a stone tablet in front of a foot thick in the school yard, stood like a pine, and took a deep breath.

All the students in the lower courtyard held their breath.

Suddenly, a faint red light flashed on the gray-robed old man's face, and his muscles flared up.

"Shadowless Legs!"

The gray-robed old man shouted violently, and kicked his right foot in the air! fast, he could barely see the shadow of his legs! his legs were like lightning, and he was like thunder.

"Boom!"

The foot-thick stone tablet was kicked off by the gray-robed old man.

The broken stele flew out ten zhang away, and the dust and gravel splashed all over the sky.

"Six layers of refining body, shadowless legs!"

Ye Chen was shocked when he saw this scene. He is still in the third layer of the body refining period, and he uses hardwood stakes every day to beat his fists and feet to temper his physique, and his strength can't even break the hardwood stakes with thick arms, let alone break the foot-thick stone stele.

The power of the head of the head of the lower house directly kicked the stone tablet away, and it was many times stronger than his fists and feet.

"The power of Old Man Shi Geng's 'Shadowless Feet', I'm afraid the heavy armored cavalry can't afford it!" "We don't know when we will be able to cultivate to the strength of Chief Sect Leader Shi! With this strength, it is enough to become an upper-level military general in the Martial Kingdom." ”

The young men in green shirts in the lower courtyard exclaimed, and there were many discussions, usually disapproving of this gray-robed old man who was not good-looking, but now he looked at the old man with a little more awe in his eyes.

In another open space in the martial arts training school, more than 200 young students in the upper courtyard looked disdainful when they saw Shi Geng selling his legs. Among the students in the upper house, there are many martial arts who are more powerful than the old ones.

The gray-robed old man kicked off the stone stele, exhaled and collected his strength, very satisfied with the power of this leg, he showed a hand to shock the students, and then said slowly, "The old man has only refined the sixth layer of the body." On top of this, there are also the seventh to ninth layers in the late stage of refining body that are more powerful. The qi and blood in the body are getting stronger and stronger, and the strength of the body is rising, up to 900 catties, which is enough to fight black bears and rhinoceros. ”

"Reaching the ninth layer of the refining period, if you go to become a swordsman, it is enough to become a swordsman of the Martial Kingdom Zhenguo. If you become an archer, it is enough to become the archer of the country god of Wuguo Town. The status of the ninth-level masters in the Martial Kingdom during the refining period is all at the level of the town country, guarding the safety of the Martial King City. ”

"As for the body refining period, there is a higher primordial god stage, which can be used to resist the sword and fly immortals, cast spells, and have unpredictable powers. The first dean of Beilu Academy was a sword immortal who was once the national teacher of the Wu Kingdom. However, these are not things that ordinary people like me can talk about more, so let's not mention them. ”

The gray-robed old man stood with his hands in his hands, his momentum was like a mountain, and his gestures were all like a guide to the country. The old man has this pride, he has been teaching in the academy for forty or fifty years, and many important ministers of the martial arts who went out from the Beilu Academy have to call him a teacher when they see him.

"Beilu Academy has been inherited for 300 years and is the most profound institution in Wuguo. Your group of students in the lower academy are still young, most of them are in their teens, and they still have time to practice diligently, and strive to cultivate to the sixth level of the body refining stage before the age of twenty, and pass the strength appraisal and graduation assessment of this academy!"

"If you are twenty years old and have not yet cultivated to the sixth level of the body refining stage, then you can directly roll out from the Beilu Academy. Don't think you have time to waste!

The gray-robed old man's tone became stern, and he waved his hand to let the students of the lower courtyard continue to hit the hardwood stakes. He had said this at least dozens of times. As for how many people can listen, it depends on the individual's creation.

Ye Chen listened carefully to the old man's explanation, and when he heard the old man mention the swordsman and archer of Wuguo Town, he couldn't help but yearn for it.

The sixth layer of the martial arts refining period was still too far away for him.

He was just a small commoner, born in an ordinary peasant family in the Martial Kingdom, and was sent to this Beilu Academy at the age of five, where he studied hard for nearly ten years, and only at the age of fifteen was he at the third level of the difficult refining period.

His strength is very average in the academy, and he can be regarded as unknown.

"Within this year, we must break through the third layer of the refining period as soon as possible and enter the middle stage of refining the body!"

Ye Chen slammed his fists on the hardwood stake and began to practice boxing. He was now fifteen years old, and he only had five years to continue cultivating in the academy.

One hour, two hours.

Ye Chen's muscles tensed all over his body, and he tried his best to hit the hardwood stake with every punch and kick. His fist had scraped the skin, revealing blood, and sweat had soaked his coarse shirt. The muscles were numb and painful, and the legs, feet and arms were severely overdrawn and began to tremble.

"Hold on!"

Ye Chen still gritted his teeth and persevered, enduring the intense exhaustion of every inch of muscle in his body.

In the midst of the extreme exhaustion and numbness of his body, Ye Chen suddenly felt that there seemed to be a trace of new strength in the deepest part of the spine bones in his body. The skeleton is the source of the martial artist's strength, and this new vitality comes extremely fast and fiercely, pouring into the whole body almost instantly.

"Phew!"

Ye Chen used all the strength of his body, jumped up violently, and kicked the hardwood stake in front of him.

"Bang!"

Hardwood stakes burst and splintered pieces of wood were blown up.

"I've broken through! Finally broke the hardwood stake! I've reached the fourth layer of the refining stage!"

Ye Chen looked at the broken hardwood stake in disbelief, propped himself on one knee, clenched his fists, and couldn't hold back the excitement and ecstasy in his heart.

In an instant, when the nearly 1,000 young students in the surrounding lower courtyard heard the voice, they almost all stopped silently, and they all looked towards Ye Qin, their eyes full of surprise and envy.

The hardwood stakes on the academy field are specially made, which can withstand the continuous blows of three hundred catties of qi, and the three layers of it are constantly beaten during the refining period. Only when you reach the fourth layer of the refining period, your strength breaks through four hundred catties, and you can forcibly break the hardwood stake under the full force.

Ye Chen practiced hard for several years, and finally broke through today.

He was finally able to enter the upper courtyard of the academy, which also meant that his status in the Beilu Academy had greatly improved. From the lower courtyard of more than 1,000 young disciples, to the upper courtyard of only more than 200 young disciples.

"Very good, there is another student in this academy, you have to learn from him and practice hard. ”

The gray-robed old man saw this scene from a distance, and gave praise without hesitation, and then called Ye Chen over and asked, "What's your name?"

"Disciple Ye Chen, I've seen Chief Sect Leader Shi!"

Ye Chen looked excited, and in front of everyone, he came out of the large phalanx of thousands of students in the lower courtyard driving wooden stakes. Ye Chen knew that after he became a student of the Upper Academy, he would no longer drive wooden stakes to cultivate his fists and feet, but could start cultivating real martial arts.

More than 200 students in the upper courtyard practiced in the open space on the other side of the martial arts training school, and practiced different advanced martial arts such as bronze man piles, plum blossom piles, swords, leg techniques, fist techniques, and mounted archery.

The gray-robed old man took Ye Chen to the other side of the martial arts training school to watch the young students of the upper courtyard practice martial arts.

"You can choose to learn a more advanced martial art for cultivation, including sword skills, sword techniques, spear skills, bow shooting, body skills, etc., most of which are relatively powerful martial arts. Which martial arts do you want to learn?"

The gray-robed old man smiled.

Ye Chen's eyes were shining as he looked at the cultivation of the senior brothers and sisters in the upper courtyard, but he couldn't see the fame, so he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Chief Sect Leader, among the senior brothers in the upper courtyard, who is the strongest in combat power, and what is he learning?"

"Everyone in the upper courtyard is a master, but the strongest one is your Senior Brother Yan Han, who is at the sixth level of the body refining period, and he is practicing the Tiger Leaping Sword Technique!"

"Then I'll also learn the Tiger Leaping Knife Technique!"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said.

His idea was very simple, since Senior Brother Yan Han in the upper courtyard was the strongest and learned the "Tiger Leaping Knife Technique", then he also learned this knife technique.
