Mysterious journey

"Put on the ring!"

shouted the herald nearby.

Three pretty girls in white dresses who had been prepared came forward carrying three silver trays.

On the plate are three small finger rings that are as black as ink. Each ring is engraved with simplified lines similar to a nine-headed dragon.

The identity badges of the Black Fire Palace were distributed on the spot in the main hall, which made the onlookers truly feel that Garen valued these three people.

The three masters took off their rings and put them on different fingers of their hands.

The three of them were taken off the stage by the attendants, followed by the people they had just selected. Step forward to accept the ring, this time it is a black and red ring, which is a status symbol slightly lower than pure black.

This not only represents differences in status and benefits, but also represents differences in the degree of acceptance of education.

Finally, those who passed the third perseverance test in another examination room were brought onto the stage and awarded a crimson ring, which was a third-level status symbol.

Almost everyone in the imperial capital knew that Garen had completely occupied the largest royal treasury, sharing all its resources equally with the Silver Palace, and even controlled a large area of ​​land in the palace area. Even the eldest princess and the fourth prince of the royal family did not dare to return to the palace to avoid conflicts.

After all, one of the other two grand dukes has a good relationship with Garen, and the other will not conflict with Garen for a little property. Although they did not obtain the royal treasury on the surface, they also obtained the more secret royal inner treasury.

Both sides know it well, and they can be regarded as getting what each other needs.

The people in the perseverance examination room are different from the previous two groups.

Their salary is much lower, except for those who completely pass the exam in the examination room. Although those who persist more than half are considered qualified, they need to pay a considerable entry fee every year.

The meaning of this measure is that only those who can reach the top level with qualifications and perseverance are qualified to be cultivated by the Black Fire Palace and heal those with less qualifications and less perseverance. If you want to gain something, you have to pay the price.

This is equivalent to tuition fees.

It's not like Garen didn't know that other forces must have sent someone here, perhaps to try to steal their knowledge, or perhaps for other purposes.

But he didn't care.

After comparing with Ephesus, he discovered that there are many type four totem masters with secret weapons in this world. But there are only a few who can break through type five.

Secret martial arts is only one of the necessary conditions for the fifth type, but not all.

Reaching the fifth type, he was still a little confused at first, but after merging the first dragon head of the Nine-Headed Dragon. Garen had a vague idea.

The fifth type is that the totem and the totem master merge into one. In the end, the totem is absorbed by the totem master in the form of secret martial arts, and the two are completely integrated. To achieve the purpose of evolving the level of life.

To put it simply, the totem master and the silver lantern master are a path through which external things can feed oneself back and achieve the evolution of life.

The cultivated totem grows step by step, driving the evolution of the human body, and eventually reaches a strange new level. This path goes far further than pure secret martial arts, and even suppresses the development path of science.

In other words, the development of totem itself is also a science.

There are many, many types of secret martial arts, and there are many, many types of totems. The human body is even more different, with different talents and qualifications.

Secret martial arts, totems, and the human body must achieve an unprecedented unity before they can be finally integrated.

In other words, if Miwu is not suitable, then don't even think about fusion. If the totem doesn't fit, so be it. If something goes wrong with the human body, don't even think about it.

If there is a problem with any of the three, there is no need to think about being promoted to type five.

At this time, Garen could better understand the thoughts of those top experts who were about to be promoted to the fifth type at the peak of their fourth type.

The period before promotion is the most critical period. It can range from a few years to a few months.

During this period of time, you must practice quietly, constantly adjust your mental state, physical state, and totem state, and absorb and fuse with the most suitable secret martial arts. You must not be interrupted or seriously injured.

No matter which one of the three has a problem, all previous efforts may be wasted. Once interrupted, if you want to resume the state, the time and energy spent will be several times greater.

Suitable totem, suitable secret martial arts, and the most suitable physical and mental state for you. All three are indispensable.

Therefore, even if the Secret Martial Arts is given, many Type 4 and Type 5 strong men will not cause much of a sensation. Only the Secret Martial Arts that suits you is the best.

It took Ephesus hundreds of years to fully understand the connection between the three, and it was not until the battle with Garen that she gained some insights, and was able to truly realize the flaw in her swordsmanship that she had never been able to perfect. Satisfy the condition of the secret martial arts that is most suitable for you.

Although his perfectionism is at work, and perhaps his abnormal emotions towards his totem are at play, it is certainly not a joke to be able to block him in this field for hundreds of years.

From ancient times to the present, Type 4 totem masters have all kinds of strange abilities, and there are many people who have the means to extend their lifespan. However, most of these Type 4 totem masters have been lost in history. The main reason is that they cannot adjust their body and mind to achieve perfect fit. degree of unity. This level takes a long time, so most of them concentrate on trying to adjust their state in silence, but countless people pass away in silence, and only a few people break out of the cocoon.

There are too many people stuck at this level. They don't lack secret weapons or totems, but the process of adjusting and replenishing their body and mind is actually a spiritual realm and level that cannot be accumulated by resources. It’s not something you can simply break through with your natural talent. What it needs is experience, insight, and a flash of inspiration that can then be grasped and consolidated.

Improving the soul is the most difficult hurdle to break through Type Five.

Both Garen and Ephesus have entered this final level.

The nine-headed demon dragon and white rose are the most suitable totems for the two of them, so this level is over.

Garen has many secret martial arts all night long. After modifying and fine-tuning, he kneaded the essence of his own martial arts into one, sorted and created the Black Water True Skill that is most suitable for him.

It just so happens that the secret martial arts level of his King of the Century naturally has huge advantages in physical and mental adjustment. The control and fine-tuning of oneself at this level are far more powerful than those of a totem master.

Therefore, Galleon has actually achieved the two most difficult items, adjusting the state and being most suitable for secret martial arts.

Unfortunately, as Shenyun said, his biggest limitation now is the totem.

The nine-headed demon dragon has insufficient potential. After all, it is not a true complete bloodline gene. It is just a nine-headed dragon that has evolved to complete the incomplete genes of the two-headed lizard dragon. It is inherently deficient. Instead, this became the key to restricting his progress.

Therefore, Shen Yun’s words were not just spoken casually.

He estimated that after completely merging the Nine-headed Dragon with the secret weapon, he should be able to barely reach the primary level of Type Five, but it would be really difficult to advance further. No matter how strong the combat power is and can compare with the peak of type five, the level can only go so far in the end.

However, when those old guys can't escape from the world, they enter Type Five and are already among the top powerhouses in the world. Enough to hold the top positions in the three major agencies.

After coming back to his senses, Garen glanced at the center of the hall below. The last group of self-financed disciples were taken down. Today's scene was immediately concluded successfully.

"It just so happens that so many friends have given me the honor to come to the celebration today, and I have something big to announce."

Garen suddenly spoke loudly.

Everyone who had been waiting to leave suddenly paused, not knowing what big event Garen planned to announce.

There was a slight murmuring among the people below, but most of them looked attentive and focused their attention on Garen.

Garen nodded with satisfaction.

"I created my own Black Water True Skill, and the original Black Fire Palace is no longer applicable, so while so many friends are here today, I announce that the Black Fire Palace will be officially renamed from today on!"

He paused.

"Changed to Kurosawa Palace."

The nine-headed demon dragon is the swamp overlord, so changing it to Ze is just right. In the future, the disciples who practice the Black Water True Kung Fu will definitely choose the water-based totem due to the nature of the secret martial arts, which is worthy of its name.

With his own power, Garen does not have to do everything himself. He can also ensure the safety and interests of his family, and can easily gather more intelligence resources. It will also have a greater effect on his future purpose.

"Kurosawa Palace?"

"The name is quite concise."

"Originally, the palace master is not a fire totem, so it is natural to change his name."

The people below all made sounds of agreement.

Garen smiled and moved his gaze to the three tower masters on the left.

"Of course, this is not the big thing I want to talk about. The real big thing is the Seven Nights Tower from the Snowy Mountains in the Northern Territory. The three tower owners, at the invitation of this palace owner, officially became the honorary elders of my Kurosawa Palace. The status is only beneath myself.”

Honorary elder, this position does not exceed everyone's expectations.

Being able to travel all the way to Cowaitan, with so many dangerous crises and troubles along the way, naturally it will not be as simple as a simple congratulations and celebration.

Only a few people did not expect it and were surprised.

Among the three tower masters, Blizzard, the second strongest tower master, stood up.

"I am honored to be invited by the Lord of the Garon Palace to come to Cowaitan, a big country with a long history, and to become the honorary elder of the Blackpool Palace. This is my personal honor." He bowed slightly to show respect.

"Blizzard Tower Master is welcome." Garen nodded.

The other two tower owners also stood up and said a few polite words.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Suddenly, a burst of violent and fierce laughter came from the sky outside the palace.

"I heard that Hydra Gallon has extraordinary strength. He has traveled thousands of miles across the world and came here to challenge me. I believe the palace master won't let me down, right?"

The person's voice was terrifying, shaking the entire ground, and the soles of everyone's feet felt slightly numb.

At the same time, everyone turned to look at Garen.

Since Garen became famous, this is the first time a strong person has come to challenge him. Every top powerhouse who has become famous has experienced countless challenges and battles and finally stood at the top.

Garon's fame was short-lived, his whereabouts were uncertain, and major events happened one after another, resulting in nothing like this happening for a while.

To this day, he has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and even started to establish a sect and control organizations such as Kurosawa Palace. These people were immediately given a chance.

Stepping on the heads of famous and powerful people and becoming famous in one fell swoop is the fastest shortcut. Those strong men who have practiced hard for many years are eager to prove themselves after coming out of seclusion and create a legacy for future generations. Naturally, rely on strength to find the shortest path.

Garen sat high on the throne, his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't hear any sound at all.

On the other hand, the luminous goddess on the left stood up and gave a sweet smile as clear as a bell.

"It just so happens that my Extreme Ice Flame is still short of two main ingredients. I really borrowed the palace master's good luck~~" Before he finished speaking, the figure on the seat of Luminous Goddess slowly disappeared, and she left directly as she spoke. There was just an afterimage on the seat.

The speed was so fast that even Garen and Ephesus didn't have any chance.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder-like sound in the sky outside the palace. There was a coquettish smile mixed with it, and waves of clear ringtones swayed, as if they were directly transmitted into the depths of everyone's hearts, like a lover pouring out his heartfelt sorrow, making people's hearts itch.

"Who are you!!?? The one I want to challenge is Hydra!!" The strong man's voice stopped abruptly.

In an instant, a white shadow shot into the hall and landed on the throne on the left. It was the Luminous Goddess who had just left.

I saw five sharp fingers on her right hand, and she was actually holding a bloody red heart in her hand, which was beating loudly.

In the seats below, some women faintly exclaimed, and most of the men turned pale. Within a few breaths, a strong totem man outside had his heart ripped out by the woman's bare hands.

Such cruel behavior is in sharp contrast with the white and blood-red body of the luminous goddess who looks like a beautiful woman.

The Luminous Goddess smiled and handed the heart in her hand to her disciple. There was no trace of blood on her hand, and she sat down again.
