Ruins of the past

Yong'an 16 years, May 30th.

The head coach looked at Xiaojie's ranking last month and asked about the situation.

Li Jian, the elixir lecturer, Yi Shuang, the sect lecturer, and Song Ming, the ghost lecturer... reported on the overall status of the students one by one.

The chief instructor finally looked at Yang Ling and asked, "How is the status of the students' martial arts training recently?"

Coach Yang said: "They are all pretty good. In addition to Li He and Jiang Longyu, Chi Shude has now also entered the fourth realm."

"In the past five months they have been on the mountain, they have gradually unleashed their potential."

"It is estimated that more and more students will enter the fourth realm in the future. I think there should be more than 20 students entering the fourth realm before the final selection."

The head coach nodded. The students they selected from all over the country were all geniuses, and most of them had entered the third realm for a while.

Nowadays, with the infusion of various resources from Chaoyao Mountain, it is natural for martial arts to enter the fourth realm one by one.

He said: "Martial arts is the foundation of the work of the Demon Suppression Division. Yang Ling, you have done a good job recently in teaching students according to their aptitude."

He looked at Li He who ranked first in the May competition, Jiang Longyu who ranked second, Chi Shude who ranked third, and Chu Qiguang who ranked fourth...

The head coach asked: "How is Chu Qiguang?"

Coach Yang sighed, with a hint of regret on his face: "There...is something wrong with Chu Qiguang."

The head coach frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

Instructor Yang said helplessly: "In addition to Hunyuan Taiyi Qigong and Zhutian Demon Suppression Palm, he also practiced the Star Shifting Phantom Body Technique and Feitian Penetrating Cloud Step."

"He recently told me that he wanted to practice a weapon."

Hearing these words, the chief instructor said angrily: "What nonsense? He is just a third-level warrior. Why does he practice so many martial arts?"

He glared at Coach Yang and said, "Yang Ling, how do you manage it? He should be concentrating on reaching the martial arts realm now."

Yang Ling said: "Alas...I am more concerned about Jiang Longyu and Chi Shude during this period, and I am more relaxed about Chu Qiguang, but I have told him not to focus on too many other martial arts. Go ahead and improve your martial arts realm."

After hearing Jiang Longyu and Chi Shude, the head coach's face softened slightly and he warned: "Take good care of him and don't let him waste the resources given to him by the Demon Suppression Division."

…

In the huge stone courtyard that night.

As Chu Qiguang's third-level Hunyuan Taiyi Demonic Skill started to operate, his body instantly began to turn gray...and black...as if he was wearing a layer of pitch-black iron armor, covering every part of his body. An inch of skin.

The next moment, the sound of rushing water continued to come from his body.

Chu Qiguang's energy and blood circulated like the Yangtze River.

Under the surging energy and blood, the temperature of the entire boulder courtyard rose sharply.

The weeds that were originally withered and yellow due to Chu Qiguang's practice during this period also became more and more wilted.

The surging power in Chu Qiguang's body finally turned into the overwhelming palm power of Zhutianzhen Demonic Palm, which hit the huge gray granite in front of him like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

With the sudden force of the palm, layers of air flow swept over and turned into a layer of white Gang Qi.

After Chu Qiguang cultivated the Demon-Suppressing Palm of the Heavens to the third level, he was finally able to activate the Gang Qi when he used the palm. Although he was not as flexible and changeable as Qiao Zhi, his Demon-Suppressing Palm of the Heavens still allowed him to One more level of power has been enhanced.

Along with the violent impact of Gang Qi, palms and gray granite, dull thunderous sounds continued to be heard from inside the boulder.

With a soft crackling sound, a large layer of the boulder's surface shattered into pieces, turning into large pieces of rubble and falling directly to the ground.

Looking at the gray granite that had become smaller again, Chu Qiguang breathed out gently to calm down the energy and blood that had just been violently circulating.

Chu Qiguang looked at the fifth tentacle in his shadow, and the sixth tentacle that was gradually brewing in the figure.

He murmured in his heart: "If you continue to practice like this, this gray granite will not be able to withstand it, and you will have to find other training tools."

Over the past few days, Chu Qiguang has been studying, reading, taking medicine, and practicing martial arts every day, and his strength has improved rapidly.

Although he received the gift of the Ring of Foolishness several times in a row, Hunyuan Taiyi Demonic Skill was always gray and could not be improved.

But Chu Qiguang also promoted Zhutian Demon Suppression Palm to the third level.

The two martial arts skills of Moving Star Phantom Body Technique and Flying Sky-Piercing Cloud Step were also fused under the influence of the gift, turning into Moving Star-Piercing Cloud Step, which has both change and explosive power, and has also been promoted to the third level.

In addition, there is the Immortal Seal. Although he has been unable to improve it with gifts, this martial art is particularly in line with his wishes. It makes him easy to practice every time and makes the fastest progress. Now he has reached the third level.

And every time after accumulating a large number of Buddhist scriptures on the mountain, he would go down the mountain to read the "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru", which also repeatedly enhanced his physical strength, blood, and heat resistance.

This is also an important reason why his combat power can now reach the fifth tentacle, and the sixth tentacle is already vaguely visible.

Chu Qiguang is very satisfied with his improvement in the past six months since he went up the mountain. Now, even if he does not rely on Qiao Zhi or the Ring of Foolishness, he can fight Yisiman with just his own martial arts, and even have the upper hand.

…

In the early morning on Chaoyao Mountain, Chu Qiguang came to Li Jian's small courtyard.

Because of the information about Li Jian he heard from Qiao Zhi, Chu Qiguang also deliberately tried to get close to Li Jian these days.

Besides, he had already taken over the purchase from Yang Ling, so he could take this opportunity to get close to him.

After his contact, he found that Li Jian was a standard technical talent. Although he also had the ability to distinguish between people, he was often unwilling to think too much and concentrated on the knowledge of herbs, elixirs and farming.

Because of this, his strength had not improved over the years, and he was too lazy to deal with people and sophistication, so he was gradually ostracized by his colleagues.

But Chu Qiguang had come into contact with many people like this in his previous life. They were not cold-blooded or brainless, they were just too lazy to spend more time on favors.

So he just took the initiative to help the other party a few times, and soon became close to Li Jian.

When he saw the seeds sent by Chu Qiguang today, Li Jian immediately walked up with his eyes shining: "Did you get it?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "I asked someone to bring it from the capital, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Li Jian looked at the seeds and said, "I heard from friends in the capital that this precious rice is drought-resistant and cold-resistant. It is much easier to grow than rice and wheat. The imperial court is planning to promote it."

What surprised Chu Qiguang during this period was... In addition to caring about medicinal materials and elixirs, Li Jian also studied agriculture. He even planted wheat himself and asked him to buy Zhenmi seeds.

Seeing Li Jian studying the seeds crazily, Chu Qiguang looked at the other person's workbench, where various bottles and jars were neatly arranged.

During this period, Chu Qiguang talked with Li Jian based on the memory of his previous life, and he could barely recognize that there were saltpeter, plant ash, gypsum powder and other things in it.

‘This Li Jian can be regarded as a chemist of this era... The thing this guy is researching seems to be chemical fertilizers. ’

Li Jian on the side suddenly said: "By the way, Chu Qiguang. During today's meeting, the head coach was very dissatisfied with your recent performance, and I am right... You shouldn't be greedy and practice so many martial arts, so you should stop it quickly. Think more and improve your martial arts realm."

"Otherwise, your ranking will continue to go down, and you might be kicked out of the inner courtyard."
