Mysterious journey

"I guess there has never been a warrior who has practiced several secret martial arts like me, right? No matter how good a secret martial art is, it must be practiced on a yearly basis, and secret martial arts is also a martial art. If you don't practice it for a long time, you will forget it and degrade. . Just like sailing against the current, as long as I don't practice for one day, I may deteriorate for three days. If I didn't have the help of supernatural powers to solidify the training effect of my body, I probably wouldn't be able to practice other secret martial arts like this."

"This is how the body adapts." He raised his head and glanced over the eaves at the starry night sky.

A crescent moon hangs quietly in the black sky, casting a gauze-like moon-white light.

"It's better not to go home for the time being, so as not to worry my family if something happens later." Garen made up his mind to stay in the martial arts school, and the news of his return was not spread. Only a few people know about this.

He exhaled softly.

The corridor in front of the martial arts library was dark and quiet.

He walked forward slowly along the corridor. After taking a few steps, he suddenly saw a figure sitting on his right.

He took a few steps closer to take a closer look.

"Grace?" Garen said in surprise.

The figure was clearly Grace wearing a professional secretary suit. Her slender legs were wrapped in thick stockings and held together. Her whole body was huddled up, as if she was very cold.

Hearing the sound, she opened her eyes drowsily and glanced at Garen in front of her.

"Garen, you're out," she said weakly. She slowly tried to stand up, but unexpectedly her legs went numb, and she lost her balance and almost fell.

Garen hugged her, feeling that this woman's body was as soft as a bone and her body temperature was hot.

Grace also took advantage of the situation and threw herself into his arms.

"Why are you waiting here?" Garen asked in a low voice. "Manleyton's intelligence ability is quite fast. You all knew it as soon as I came back. When did you come here?"

"Afternoon." Grace's voice became weaker and weaker.

Garen reached out and touched her forehead, which was very hot.

"I have a fever. There are doctors and nurses at Master's place. I'll take you to take a look. There should be no big problem."

He picked up Grace and strode towards the room where the master was resting.

The martial arts hall was quiet, there was no sound, and there was no sign of lighting at all along the way. The large martial arts hall was extremely empty and deserted.

Not far away, the room where the master rested was faintly revealed at the front corner, and a nurse in white clothes walked out of the room while drinking a basin of water.

The pale yellow light in the room faintly shined through the crack of the door, and Simon could be seen dozing next to the hospital bed.

Garen walked over with Grace in his arms and asked in a lower voice.

"Ms. Nurse, please find some fever and cold medicine for my friend."

"No problem." The nurse, a civilian girl with small freckles on her face, agreed quickly and decisively, "But don't enter the room yet. The patient inside has not recovered yet, and the cold may be transmitted to him."

"good."

"Put me down!" Grace struggled in Gallon's hand, her legs kept kicking back and forth, her face was red, and she was obviously a little confused from the fever.

Garen shook his head speechlessly and stood at the door for a while. The nurse lady asked another nurse to come over, and the two arranged for Grace to move into a ward next to her. Only then did Garen make some free time and walked into the room where his master was.

Simon was still snoring and dozing off, sitting on a chair with his head tilted to one side.

The sound of Garen closing the door softly didn't wake him.

I walked over and patted his shoulder lightly a few times.

"Ugh..." Simon quickly sucked the saliva from his mouth, "Big brother!" He was startled when he saw Garen coming in and quickly stood up.

"Your arm is still in a plaster, why don't you take a good rest?! Go to your room and rest!" Garen whispered with a straight face.

"But the owner." Simon said hesitantly.

"I'll come here." Garen whispered, "Master, have you ever woken up?"

Simon's face darkened. "No, I haven't woken up even once. It's been like this since I came back from the Star Ring Gate."

"Isn't he not seriously injured? What's going on!" Garen frowned.

"I don't know. The doctor said that the owner's body is not too damaged. He just doesn't know why he is drowsy and unable to wake up." Simon replied in a low voice, "Will the owner be okay? Senior brother." There was a trace of worry on his face. .

"I can't, am I still here?" Garen patted him on the shoulder, "You go and rest, I will guard here."

"Actually, I just came here not long ago, and Ke Ling was guarding me just now." Simon smiled sheepishly,

"Actually, you don't have to stay here with us." Garen suddenly whispered. "You are just ordinary students."

"No need to say this! Senior brother, we have decided to stay in the gym. No matter what the result is, the martial arts gym has given us too many things. This is the choice of Ke Ling and I. Jiali is different from us. She has many things at home. Her parents and younger brother are here, so we advised her to go back first. Senior brother, you won't blame us, right?" Simon's expression calmed down and he said calmly.

"Of course not." Garen didn't know what to say, "Actually, you don't need to do this."

"Stop talking, senior brother." Simon smiled, "Ke Ling and I have nothing to worry about. It was the owner who cultivated us. Okay, I'll go back and rest first. I'm relying on you here."

"Well, you go ahead." Garen could only nod.

Watching Simon slowly leave the room, he closed the door with his backhand.

Garen was silent for a moment.

Compared with senior sister Luo Xita, these ordinary core students are more like the disciples of Teacher Fei Baiyun. When the martial arts hall was in danger, they did not choose to escape, but stayed and shared the difficulties with the martial arts hall.

With almost half of the entire martial arts gym disbanded, only this difficult situation can reveal who can really be trusted.

Garen sat silently on the chair that Simon had previously occupied and looked at the master on the hospital bed quietly.

"Teacher, although the martial arts school is facing an unprecedented difficult situation, there are still some disciples worthy of my protection. This is your luck, and it is also ours."

Although he had only joined for one year, he felt a kind of kinship with Fei Baiyun, who taught him the art. Fei Baiyun worked hard to cultivate him and made arrangements for him in all aspects. He also took part in matters related to the Manleyton Company. Shelter from wind and rain.

This time it was only Grace who came alone. The previous bodyguards and Cynthia were all gone. Apparently they saw that the situation was not good and they were all taken back by the company. It is natural that the wall will fall and the monkeys will scatter.

"If you can get through this difficulty, you shouldn't object to me accepting Ke Lingsai as a disciple to truly teach my art, right?" He said the last thing, then exhaled a long breath, closed his eyes and rested quietly.

Fei Baiyun was still sleeping on his back, breathing faintly, and he didn't know if he could hear it.

*********************

Due to the rules of secret martial arts teaching, only direct disciples can be taught skills. This is the basic rule of secret martial arts teaching.

Fei Baiyun had already announced that he would no longer accept disciples, so Jia Long decided to do it himself. Originally, the best candidate was the second senior brother Farak, but Farak went out to hunt down the senior sister Rosita, and there is no news yet.

Although he was confident in the strength of his second senior brother, Garen was also worried about the possibility of outside intervention.

The strength of the second senior brother and the senior sister has always been about the same, but the second senior brother has always given way to the senior sister. His strength is too violent and he dare not let go of sparring, so he often loses to the senior sister Rosita. But a real life and death fight is different.

Moreover, when warriors of the same level fight each other, it mainly depends on their status.

Sitting in the master's room until dawn, Garen waited until the replacement nurse came in, then got up and left to resume the practice of secret martial arts.

After walking around the main hall, he got a general idea of ​​the entire martial arts hall.

Due to the sect's rebellion, most of the core students left, and the rest of the students at all levels disbanded and went home on temporary leave. All branch libraries were deserted except for the gatekeepers. Only the Kelingsai Gate remains in the main hall.

Now only the core students know the details of the sect's catastrophe, and most of the other students are unaware. Based on the reputation and trust in Fei Baiyun, the leader of the Baiyun Sect, most of them just think that things will return to normal after a while. No one thought the situation would be so serious.

The entire main hall, which could accommodate thousands of people, now had less than ten people left.

Apart from Jia Lung and Ke Ling Saimen, there are just a few ordinary staff members who have developed relationships after working in the martial arts gym for many years.

Garen walked slowly inside the main building on foot. No one could be seen anywhere, only the deserted air and traces of dilapidation.

After Garen left the martial arts hall, he settled his breakfast problem at a nearby snack bar. He then ordered corresponding breakfasts for other people in the gym and asked the waiter to deliver them. He then went directly back to the martial arts performance hall on the second floor of the martial arts hall. Start carefully practicing the introductory secret martial art of Iron Body.

The iron body is still in the final stage and requires external assistance for training.

There is a small room in the martial arts performance hall on the second floor, where many heavy iron balls and mallets are hung specifically for anti-hit training.

This is also because the Baiyun Sect itself requires such an environment to practice the explosive boxing technique.

Standing naked in the middle of dozens of densely packed iron balls, each of which was the size of a human head. Garen also specially added spiked steel nails on their coats.

The densely packed black iron balls were like a large group of sea urchins, surrounding Galleon in the middle.

He took a deep breath, exhaled it for a long time, and began to breathe according to the secret method of Iron Body.

After taking a complete breath, he suddenly pushed the iron ball around him.

Dang-dang-dang. A series of banging sounds sounded one after another.

Then there was the sound of the spikes of the iron ball hitting Garen, which also made a clanking sound, like hitting a metal block.

Garen's skin was darkened all over, showing a hard gray sheen.

Countless iron balls swayed back and forth, hitting him again and again, and then they were pushed away by him with extra force, and then hit back with even greater force.

Each iron ball weighs tens of pounds. With the recoil force, it is estimated to have an impact of hundreds of pounds. In addition, it is replaced with spikes, the impact area is greatly reduced, and the pressure on the skin per unit area is even greater. .

Garen only felt numb and itchy all over his body, and he had the urge to reach out and scratch it. He knew this was normal.

Just practice like this until noon, take a break to eat and exercise, and take a break to exercise after eating. Keep repeating this process.
