1-10 Invincible Sword God

Chapter 1

Humble Youth

The Hundred Battles Dynasty had a population of ten billion and a boundless territory.

Outside the capital of the dynasty, there was a vast grassland. The Five Beasts Army camp stood in the middle of the grassland.

In the middle of the grassland, there was a basin where not a single blade of grass grew. It was desolate and silent.

Huge stone pillars rose from the ground and pierced the clouds, as if they were going to pierce the heavens.

A handsome youth was tied to the bottom of a huge stone pillar. He was topless.

"Hehe, Luo Zheng, you poor bastard, you don't know what's good for you! Wouldn't it be fine if you let Young Master Xiao Han take the lead? You still have to trouble us to get you out of the camp! "

A sinister laugh rang out, followed by a sharp whistling sound of wind breaking.

Pa!

An iron whip hit the handsome youth hard, tearing a long gash in his skin. Blood gushed out like a fountain and flowed onto the stone pillar behind him.

The terrible wound and the burning pain made the youth's face contort.

But in his eyes, there was a strong unyielding look.

This youth was called Luo Zheng.

He had a head of thick black hair, eyes as black as ink, and a handsome face that seemed to have been carved with a knife. There was a resolute air about him. No one could tell that he was only fourteen years old.

"So what if I come from a poor family? Why should I give the Yuan Dan that I risked my life to get to Xiao Han? "

"So what if you come from aristocratic families with a golden spoon in your mouth? Your strength is just so-so! You still have to wag your tail in front of Xiao Han. How much better are you than me, a poor disciple? "

Luo Zheng laughed coldly. His starry eyes stared at the three people in front of him. His mouth showed a faint disdain. "You are just lackeys, bah!"

The three youths standing in front of Luo Zheng were embarrassed and angry. Their faces flushed red.

Zhou Qi, who was holding the long whip, was so angry that his mouth trembled. He was actually ridiculed by Luo Zheng, who was much weaker than him and came from a poor family. This made him furious. "You poor bastard, I'll beat you to death. Let's see if you still dare to say that!"

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Zhou Qi waved his long whip and ruthlessly whipped Luo Zheng's body. Streaks of blood covered Luo Zheng's body.

"Hmph, hmph, a lackey is a lackey. Can't people talk about it? Zhou Qi, I will remember what happened today! "

Being whipped over and over again made Luo Zheng's whole body hurt like a knife was twisting. He clenched his teeth tightly, and the look in his eyes became more determined.

"You bastard, you still want to live?" The long whip in Zhou Qi's hand stopped and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He pointed to the ground and said, "Hmph, look at the ground yourself!"

"Wolf dung!"

Luo Zheng lowered his head and saw that the ground was covered with black feces. He immediately knew that something was wrong and his expression changed.

"That's right, this is the den of the Ironback Wolves. Every night, hundreds and thousands of Ironback Wolves will come here. When that time comes, you will be gnawed to the bone. Hahaha!"

Zhou Qi laughed maniacally, and his expression became even more sinister. He said, "But don't worry, we will not let you die without a burial place. Young Master Xiao Han has instructed us to come back tomorrow to collect your corpse. Then, we will return to the camp and report to the instructor that you escaped from the camp and encountered a pack of wolves. You were gnawed to the bone!"

"Aiya, the crime of desertion. I heard that this is a serious crime that can lead to the confiscation of one's possessions and the extermination of one's entire family. It's the same as deceiving the emperor!"

"Luo Zheng, the Five Beast Army is not a place where a poor bastard like you can enter. Since you are lucky enough to be here, you will have to listen to us obediently and be our servant. Otherwise, you will die!"

The other two youths stared at Luo Zheng playfully.

"You shameless bastards, how dare you frame me and harm my family. I will make you pay for this ten times over!"

Staring at the three people in front of him, Luo Zheng's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds. He was furious. "That damned Xiao Han. Not only did he want to take my credit, but he also slandered me as a deserter. In this way, not only will I not be able to save my father, but I will also implicate my mother and sister! "

In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, the crime of desertion was equivalent to the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Any deserter would not only be sentenced to death, but their family would also be implicated. The men would be sent away to be slaves forever, and the women would be demoted to prostitutes in the court. Their descendants would never be able to rise again!

This Xiao Han was so vicious!

"Hehe, pay for it ten times over? It's a pity that you will not have the chance in this lifetime. You bastard, accept your fate! "

Zhou Qi licked the corner of his mouth and used even more strength. He waved the long whip as sharp as a blade.

The wounds on Luo Zheng's body increased. Finally, he could not hold on any longer and fainted.

"Humph, let's go. Let this bastard fend for himself here!" Zhou Qi and the other two laughed coldly as they left.

Luo Zheng was a trainee soldier in the Five Beast Army of the Hundred Battles Dynasty.

The Five Beast Army of the Hundred Battles Dynasty was the place where the geniuses gathered!

All along, only the elite disciples of wealthy families, officials, and marquises entered.

A month ago, Luo Zheng had broken the norm. As a humble disciple, he stood out from the rest of the geniuses and entered the Blue Wolf Camp.

Three days ago, the Five Beast Army practiced martial arts.

The rewards for this martial arts demonstration were extremely generous. Those who contributed would be rewarded with a Yuan Dan.

Yuan Dan was a mortal level upper grade elixir. It was a priceless elixir.

During the martial arts demonstration, Luo Zheng had taken a huge risk and contributed the most. The Yuan Dan reward was his.

However, because of this, Luo Zheng had attracted the covetous eyes of the rich and powerful Xiao Han, who demanded that he give up the most credit.

Xiao Han was an elite soldier of the Skywolf Camp. He was born in the Xiao Clan, and his father was even a general of the Hundred Battles Dynasty. He had always been rude and overbearing in the Skywolf Camp, and after being flatly refused by Luo Zheng, he actually sent out his trusted aide to secretly capture Luo Zheng, bring him out of the camp, and tie him to this stone pillar.

He wanted to kill Luo Zheng and take away the Yuan Dan!

"I can't die. I won't accept my fate …"

At this moment, the unconscious Luo Zheng suddenly let out an unwilling murmur.

Blood flowed continuously from the wounds on his body. However, the blood did not seep into the ground. Instead, it was absorbed by the huge stone pillar behind him.

Chapter 2

Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation

"I can't die. I have to get the Imperial Golden Talisman and clear my father's name! I can't become a deserter. I can't implicate my mother and sister, and my people! "

"I want revenge, Xiao Han! Zhou Qi! I'll make you pay for what you did today tenfold! "

"I, Luo Zheng, still have too many things to do. I can't die!"

Luo Zheng murmured. Suddenly, he woke up and found himself in a strange space. There was an extra memory in his mind that did not belong to him.

The injuries on his body were healed. The wounds that were so deep that bones could be seen had completely healed. Even the scars could not be seen.

In the void of the black space, incomparably huge treasured swords of all shapes and sizes were suspended vertically in the air.

The only thing that was the same was the majestic aura that could break the clouds, break the mountains, and break the seas!

"What is this place?"

Luo Zheng took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. He quickly looked through the memories that he had gained.

After a while, an uncontrollable ecstasy appeared on his handsome face. He was extremely excited.

It turned out that the stone pillars in this basin were a great array left behind by a peerless powerhouse called Spirit Sword Heavenly Master a million years ago. It was called the Heavenly Sword Array.

The Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation was made up of 81 swords with different magical powers. The power of its magical powers was earth-shattering.

Toppling mountains and overturning seas, splitting stars and cutting the moon could not be described with words.

However, for some reason, these eighty-one swords were completely destroyed. Only eighty-one Sword Souls remained in these stone pillars.

Originally, after a million years, the energy of the Sword Souls was about to be exhausted. Soon, they would disappear from the world.

Luo Zheng's blood flowed to the stone pillars and awakened the 81 Sword Souls. He was recognized as the master of the sword formation.

These Sword Souls used the remaining energy to heal his injuries. Then, they split open the Deity Sea above Luo Zheng's head and entered it. After that, they fell into a deep sleep.

If he wanted to awaken these Sword Souls, he could only recast the sword body according to the sword forging method in his memory.

At this moment, the void he saw was his Deity Sea!

"Deity Ocean! It is said that only those who have surpassed the Body Forging Realm and entered a higher realm of martial arts have the possibility of opening up the Divine Sea. I never thought that before I died, I would have such a heaven-shaking encounter! "

The first major realm of the martial path was called the Body Tempering realm. It was divided into nine stages. The first five stages were the Skin Tempering realm, Flesh Tempering realm, Muscle Tempering realm, Bone Tempering realm, and Membrane Tempering realm.

After breaking through to the Membrane Forging Realm, one would be able to open up the Qi Sea and derive true qi. After that, one would enter the four realms of Body Tempering, Blood Tempering, Marrow Changing, Viscera Refining, and Viscera Consolidating.

With Luo Zheng's current cultivation, he was far from being qualified to know about the mysterious realm beyond the Body Forging Stage.

Although he had obtained the immeasurably powerful Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation, the eighty-one swords had long been destroyed. The sword spirits had fallen into a deep slumber, and there was no way for Luo Zheng to escape from the realm.

Thinking of this, Luo Zheng felt extremely bitter.

He struggled with all his might a few times. The thick rope rubbed against the wounds on his body, and he was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.

Without the strength of tens of thousands of jin, it was impossible to break free from these ropes.

At most, in another two hours, night would fall. Thousands of Ironback Wolves would return here to spend the night and tear him to pieces!

"I can't accept this! Even if I can only control one ten-thousandth of the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation's power, it is still enough to become one of the strongest in the dynasty. But now, I cannot change my fate of dying to the wolves. "

At most, in another two hours, the sky would darken.

"Eh, there seems to be the sound of wolves. It seems to be coming from ten miles away."

Luo Zheng raised his head and looked around. He did not see any traces of wolves, but the wolf howls in his ears were clearly getting louder and louder.

Under careful observation, Luo Zheng discovered that not only had his hearing improved, but his vision had also become extremely sharp. He could clearly see things one mile away.

And the rustling of grass, the buzzing of mosquitoes, and the movement of ants within a radius of one hundred feet seemed to be happening in his eyes.

According to legends, after a powerful martial artist had opened up the Deity Sea, they would develop a divine sense. They would be able to perceive the world, and their five senses and six senses would become incomparably sensitive.

"This is the Sword Master Space? Although it is only ten feet in radius, it is so mystical … "

Luo Zheng could feel that within ten feet of him, his perception had reached the microscopic realm. It was like a ruler. With a slight thought, he could clearly see through everything. Not a single speck of dust fell.

He discovered that in a single thought, he knew that within this ten feet radius, there were 975 million specks of dust, 73 large stones, and 9 stalks of dog ear grass. It was as if he had counted them all.

The Sword Master Space was an innate ability obtained after becoming the master of the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation. And as the master of the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation's cultivation increased, the power of the Sword Master Space would also increase.

But, the more mystical the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation was, the more unwilling Luo Zheng was. The wolf howls were getting closer and closer. He would undoubtedly die.

"It is not yet dark, and these Ironback Wolves are already back. Are they not even willing to give me a sliver of hope?"

Luo Zheng muttered. His heart was like dead ashes, and he was in incomparable despair!

"Someone's here!" He suddenly raised his head.

Luo Zheng's eyes shone. A few miles away, a young girl in green was fleeing in panic. A dozen Ironback Wolves were chasing her relentlessly. She was in imminent danger.

The young girl in green was about twelve or thirteen years old. Her beautiful face was filled with fear.

However, even so, it could not hide her breathtaking beauty.

Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like pearls, her nose was like a cherry blossom, and she was like a fairy from a painting.

At this time, the young girl was already extremely exhausted. Her physical strength was lacking, and she staggered several times, almost falling.

"Big brother, I will help you untie …"

But after a while, the young girl in green saw Luo Zheng. Her beautiful eyes shone with hope. She rushed to his side and untied the hemp rope. Then, her mind relaxed and she fainted.

The dozen Ironback Wolves were less than thirty feet away from the two of them.

Ironback Wolves were low-level vicious beasts. Their strength was equivalent to the Tendon Forging stage. If there were only two or three of them, with Luo Zheng's strength, he might be able to fight them.

But now there were more than ten of them. If he wanted to escape alone, he might have a chance. But if he wanted to save the young girl in green, it was simply impossible.

The Ironback Wolves were getting closer and closer. Their crazy howls were ear-piercing, and their red eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light.

"I am injured. If I carry her and escape, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the pursuit of these Ironback Wolves."

Hesitation flashed across Luo Zheng's face and was replaced by determination. "This young girl didn't hesitate at all and helped me untie the hemp rope. If I were to abandon her, how would I be any different from a beast?"

Whoosh whoosh!

Chapter 3

Sword Master Space

"Bastard, you're courting death!"

Luo Zheng's figure flickered and blocked in front of the green-clothed girl.

"Mm, so the Sword Master Space has such a wonderful use!"

Just as he was about to make a move, Luo Zheng's face suddenly revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. After the two Ironback Wolves entered the range of the Sword Master Space, their movements seemed to slow down.

It wasn't that the Ironback Wolves suddenly slowed down, but that in the Sword Master Space, Luo Zheng's perception had reached the realm of minute details. His Spirit Ocean was like a mirror, all changes within one zhang would be clearly reflected in it.

At this moment, the two Ironback Wolves seemed to have slowed down a hundred times, like a turtle crawling!

Each and every movement of the two Ironback Wolves, all of their flaws, were all in Luo Zheng's eyes!

Luo Zheng's starry eyes flashed, his entire person was like a wild horse galloping out, both fists bombarding.

Bang bang!

The two murderous Ironback Wolves suddenly let out a mournful howl, their lower jaws were smashed, instantly suffering heavy injuries.

The Ironback Wolves' weakness was their lower jaws.

However, these fierce beasts were extremely cunning, when attacking in close range, they would lower their heads to protect their vital parts. However, once they entered the Sword Master Space, they couldn't escape from Luo Zheng's sure kill attack.

"The Sword Master Space is indeed mysterious, as long as the opponent enters the range, no flaws can escape my eyes! At this moment, if I had a sword in my hand, these two Ironback Wolves would have died long ago. The Sword Master Space allows my strength to explode several times! "

Luo Zheng was surprised and delighted.

Completely immersed in the magic of the Sword Master Space, his expression was calm as he moved around the wolf pack.

Horse galloping!

Horse mane parting!

Warhorse howling!

… …

Luo Zheng used the Galloping Horse Strength, every move was like a sword cutting through the wind, incomparably swift and fierce.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the dozen or so Ironback Wolves were all dead.

"With the Sword Master Space, my strength is enough to contend with Bone Forging experts. Moreover, as long as they enter the Sword Master Space, I can find their flaws and kill them in one blow! However, the Galloping Horse Art is only a low-grade human-tier martial art. If I were to obtain a sword art martial art, I would be able to defeat any Bone Refining stage martial artist! "

Standing in the middle of the wolf corpses, Luo Zheng calculated in his mind.

"That's right, why is this young girl here? Look at her luxurious clothes and the accessories on her body. They are all extremely valuable. Just the Profound Jade Pendant alone is probably worth more than ten thousand gold. Clearly, she comes from a wealthy background. How could she not have any family members or guards accompanying her? "

Looking around, Luo Zheng looked at the unconscious azure-robed girl. After checking her condition and making sure that her life was not in danger, he relaxed.

However, he also knew that he could not stay here for long. Once night fell, countless Ironback Wolves would swarm over. There would even be an Ironback Wolf King whose strength was comparable to a Marrow Changing Stage powerhouse.

At that moment, Luo Zheng did not care about the boundaries between men and women. He carried the girl in green on his back and rushed towards the Five Beast Army camp.

"At such a young age, she is quite well-endowed …"

After running a few steps, Luo Zheng could not help but blush. He was bare-chested and the girl in green's clothes were extremely thin. As he ran, the two soft lumps rubbed against his back continuously. This feeling was somewhat unbearable.

After a while, Luo Zheng's entire body was burning up and his mouth was dry.

Luckily, his willpower was strong. After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he reined in his thoughts and stopped running with all his might.

"She's awake …"

After running for a while, Luo Zheng's heart skipped a beat. His consciousness sensed that the girl's long eyelashes moved and her beautiful eyes slowly opened.

However, she seemed to be shy. Her face flushed red and she frantically closed her eyes again.

Perhaps it was because she was shy, but after the girl woke up, she did not make a sound. Her eyes were tightly shut. Perhaps it was because she was extremely tired, but after a while, she fell asleep again on Luo Zheng's back.

"This little girl knows how to be shy at such a young age. She even slept. With such a pretty face, she will be at a disadvantage if she meets a bad guy. I'll bring her back to camp first. "

Luo Zheng thought to himself as he continued running.

When he returned to the camp, it was already late at night. Carrying the girl in green on his back, he entered the Sky Wolf Camp through the back door of the camp and headed straight for his residence.

At that moment, at the main entrance of the Five Beast Army camp, a dozen youths in the Giant Elephant Army uniform were craning their necks and looking into the distance from time to time.

These youths were the martial soldiers of the Giant Elephant Camp.

In the Five Beast Army, the strongest was the Flying Dragon Camp, followed by the Giant Elephant Camp, the Iron Tiger Camp, and the Blood Leopard Camp. The Sky Wolf Camp was ranked last.

"Didn't they say that Princess Rongyue would definitely reach the camp before nightfall? Why isn't she here yet? It's best if she doesn't meet with any danger. "

"The guards by the princess's side are all pretty strong. There aren't any strong ferocious beasts in the grasslands. Perhaps something has delayed her."

"Someone's coming!"

Suddenly, three burly men in black riding dragon-blooded warhorses galloped over. Each of them had deep scars on their bodies and were covered in blood.

"Quick, quickly inform Crown Prince Rong Hao that we were protecting Princess Rongyue. We were attacked by a pack of wolves on the way and got separated from the princess!"

Chapter 4

Brother

Returning to his residence, Luo Zheng saw that the girl was sleeping peacefully. He could not bear to wake her up and could only place her on his bed.

At this time, he was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He casually put on a wolf robe and walked towards the dining hall.

After obtaining the Heavenly Sword Formation and opening his Spirit Sea, Luo Zheng's hearing and vision had increased to an astonishing level. He was almost equivalent to a peak Body Refining Realm expert.

Before he reached the dining hall, his expression suddenly changed and he stopped in his tracks. Dozens of feet away, in the courtyard of the Thousand Man Commander, two people's voices entered his ears.

"Hehe, Young Master Xiao can rest assured that I will handle things. Luo Zheng must have already entered the wolf's belly!"

"Hmph, Luo Zheng, this lowly commoner, still wants to claim the reward for the chief merit! But this time, I have to thank him. As long as I refine this Yuan Dan, I will be able to enter the Blood Tempering Realm and open my Qi Sea. At that time, I will have a great chance to participate in the selection of the Five Saints Army. "

The Young Master Xiao who was speaking was naturally Xiao Han.

The other person was Xiao Han's trusted aide, Zhou Qi. He was the best at boot-licking and fanning the flames. Today, Zhou Qi was the one who captured Luo Zheng and brought him out of the camp.

Xiao Han sneered, "And that Wang Nian, he actually dared to jump out today and say that the chief merit belongs to Luo Zheng. I told you to teach him a lesson. Did you do it?"

Zhou Qi hurriedly said, "Hehe, how could I dare to slack off when Young Master Xiao ordered me to do it? I have already done it!"

Xiao Han coldly said, "Remember, you must let everyone know the consequences of going against me. Luo Zheng and Wang Nian are examples. I will go into seclusion to enter the Blood Tempering Realm. I will come out in a month!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Luo Zheng's eyes emitted a cold light as he thought to himself, "Although I managed to escape this time, Xiao Han will definitely not give up since he failed to kill me. He is an elite Martial Soldier, his rank is higher than mine, and his strength far surpasses mine. If he wants to deal with me, it will be too easy. If he enters the Blood Tempering Realm, it will be even more difficult for me to take revenge. The only way is to defeat him and trample him under your feet. Only then can you control your own destiny! "

"I must find a chance to get rid of him and get rid of future troubles! That's right, there's also Zhou Qi, humph! "Thinking of this, Luo Zheng's eyes shone brightly as he quietly left.

"I didn't expect Wang Nian to be so loyal. He offended Xiao Han in order to help me. Let's go see him first!"

When Luo Zheng arrived in front of a house, he heard a series of groaning sounds.

"That bastard Zhou Qi actually dared to slap me in the face. Wait till I'm successful in my cultivation, I'll definitely slap him back. As for Xiao Han, not only did he steal Brother Luo's credit, he even killed him. He has gone too far. I, Wang Nian, will do my best to avenge Brother Luo. Ouch, it hurts! "

Wang Nian cursed loudly as he cried out in pain from time to time. His voice was filled with great resentment.

"Wang Nian, this fatty, although he's just a hedonistic son, it's enough that he has this kind of loyalty!"

Luo Zheng was moved as he pushed the door open and entered.

Wang Nian jumped up from the bed and shrunk into a corner. He stuttered, "Brother Luo Zheng, are you a human or a ghost? The ones who harmed you are Xiao Han, Zhou Qi and the rest. Don't find the wrong person!"

"Bah, you're the ghost. Look carefully, I'm not dead!" Luo Zheng laughed.

"Not dead?"

Wang Nian sized up Luo Zheng. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he jumped over as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He felt all over Luo Zheng's body before confirming, "That's great, brother. You're really fine! I thought you were killed by that bastard Xiao Han. I was so worried. "

Wang Nian's face was full of bumps and bruises. His face was so swollen that his eyes couldn't even be closed. His garlic nose was also crooked. It was a horrible sight.

"This damned fatty was beaten up to this extent."

Seeing Wang Nian in such a miserable state, Luo Zheng's heart ached. He knew that Wang Nian had taken the beating because of him.

In the Five Beasts Army, most of them were from wealthy families. Everyone looked down on Luo Zheng's humble background.

Wang Nian, on the other hand, was willing to befriend Luo Zheng even though he was a hedonistic son of a wealthy family who had entered the army through the back door. His cultivation was unsightly.

Although they had only known each other for a short month, the two of them could be considered brothers who treated each other with utmost sincerity!

"Haha, although I'm not dead, I was almost killed by Xiao Han. I suffered a lot. Were your injuries also caused by Zhou Qi?"

Luo Zheng smiled slightly. Then, his gaze turned cold.

"It's good that you're fine. These small injuries of mine will be healed by tomorrow. Although you escaped this time, Xiao Han will definitely not give up. You don't have anyone backing you up. If he wants to kill you, he will have no qualms. What should we do? "

Wang Nian glossed over his own situation. Then, he began to worry about Luo Zheng.

"Don't worry. I have my ways. Take care of your injuries. I'll leave first."

Luo Zheng knew that Wang Nian did not mention that he had been beaten up by Zhou Qi because he did not want him to provoke Zhou Qi. However, he did not expose him.

In the past, Luo Zheng had never been afraid of Xiao Han, much less now that he had the Heavenly Sword Formation.

Wang Nian had been beaten up so badly because of him. If he could not even deal with Zhou Qi, how could he seek revenge on Xiao Han?

Luo Zheng's only worry was his mother and younger sister. He had originally thought that after entering the Five Beasts Army, he would be able to make a name for himself and his family. He had not expected that he would implicate them.

"Wait, this is for you."

Wang Nian took out two light yellow elixirs. "These are the Blood Nourishing Elixirs that were awarded for this martial arts demonstration. I'll take one for you today."

"Why are there two?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"Anyway, I won't be able to cultivate much. If I eat them, I'll just poop them out. You can just take them." Wang Nian waved his hand casually.

"Okay!"

Luo Zheng nodded heavily. He took the Blood Nourishing Elixirs and turned to leave.

Although the Blood Nourishing Elixir was not as valuable as the Yuan Dan, it was still very difficult to buy on the market. It was worth at least three thousand taels of gold. Even if someone who did not cultivate the martial way took it, it could increase their lifespan.

Luo Zheng knew that this was Wang Nian's kind intentions. Right now, he urgently needed to increase his cultivation. Only with strength would he have a chance to contend against Xiao Han. Therefore, he didn't say anything. Between brothers, silence spoke louder than words.

After leaving Wang Nian's residence, Luo Zheng went to the cafeteria.

The Five Beasts Army's cafeteria provided food at all times. This was because the soldiers in the army were all martial way geniuses of the dynasty. Cultivating the martial way consumed a lot of energy. They needed to replenish their energy at all times.

It was said that some strong practitioners in the Blood Tempering Realm could even eat an entire cow in a day!

Even Luo Zheng, who was in the Muscle Forging Realm, had to eat ten jin of high quality beef in a day to support his cultivation.

The Hundred Battles Dynasty was extremely wealthy. The treatment of the soldiers was even better. The Five Beasts Army was even more shocking. They were provided with two thousand cows, five thousand sheep, and various other food every day.

Luo Zheng ate until he was full. He guessed that the girl in green must be hungry, so he took another portion before leaving.

When he reached his residence, Luo Zheng found that the house was empty. The girl in green had already left.

Chapter 5

Little Moon

The note had the unique fragrance of a young girl and a few neat words were written on it:

Big Brother, thank you for saving my life. I have nothing to repay you with, so I've left a family martial arts manual under the pillow to express my gratitude. I will repay you in the future.

It was signed off by Little Moon.

"Little Moon … is actually not small."

Luo Zheng's lips curled up slightly. He lifted the pillow and a manual slightly bigger than his palm appeared before his eyes.

"Falling Star Fist! Man-level superior-class fist technique! "

Seeing the small words on the cover of the manual, Luo Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.

The "Galloping Horse Force" that he had cultivated was only a Man-level inferior-class martial art. Its power was far inferior to that of a superior-class martial art.

Man-level superior-class martial arts were extremely rare. If it was leaked to the outside world, it would definitely cause a bloodbath.

This kind of superior-class martial art was shockingly powerful. Even the disciples of the wealthy families in the Five Beast Army could not easily obtain it.

"Little Moon's background is definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, she would not be able to take out such a high-class martial art. She said that this was a family heirloom, so she definitely did not get the approval of her elders. If her family knew about this, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble. However, I urgently need to increase my strength, so I can only cultivate first! "

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Luo Zheng opened the manual of the Falling Star Fist and studied it carefully word by word.

His martial talent was extraordinary and his comprehension of martial arts was extremely high. In less than two hours, he had memorized the thousands of words in the manual.

"This Falling Star Fist punches out like a shooting star. Once mastered, its power is so great that even someone at the Muscle Forging Realm would be able to unleash a force of more than eight thousand jin! If I enter the Bone Forging Realm, with the help of the Sword Master's Space, although I might not be able to defeat a Film Forging Realm expert, I would at least be able to put up a fight! However, it is impossible to reach the Bone Forging Realm with just two Blood Nourishing Pills. I would need at least four pills! "

Luo Zheng calculated in his heart. Although Wang Nian had given him his Blood Nourishing Pills, it was still far from enough.

A single Blood Nourishing Pill cost three thousand taels of gold. If it wasn't for the reward from the Martial Arts Exhibition, Luo Zheng wouldn't have been able to obtain it.

Wanting to enter the Bone Forging stage was too difficult!

"Refining the Blood Nourishing Pill will take at least a few days. Xiao Han will be in closed-door training for a month. I must raise my cultivation to the point where I can protect myself within this month!"

With that thought in mind, Luo Zheng took out a Blood Nourishing Pill and popped it into his mouth.

Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face.

When the Blood Nourishing Pill entered his mouth, it did not fall into his stomach. Instead, it was sucked into the Heavenly Sword Array in his Deity Sea.

The sword array trembled. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Blood Nourishing Pill turned into pure medicinal energy, flowing into Luo Zheng's limbs and bones.

"If I were to refine the Blood Nourishing Pill myself, it would take at least a few days. This Heavenly Sword Array can reduce the refining time to a quarter of an hour, and the medicinal energy is even purer. It is twice as strong as what I expected. Thus, these two Blood Nourishing Pills are enough for me to reach the Bone Forging stage!"

Originally, even if he had enough pills, Luo Zheng would still need a month's time to reach the Bone Forging stage. Now, the time had been shortened by more than ten times!

He was overjoyed and began to practice the Falling Star Fist.

In the Body Forging Realm, a martial artist's body had yet to open up a Qi Sea. Without qi, they had to rely on martial arts to absorb the medicinal energy, refine their body, and convert it into strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Zheng got into a fighting stance, and the shadows of his fists flashed in the room. A strong wind blew, and some of the tables, chairs, and beds were shattered into pieces under the force of his fists, turning into rubbish.

At this moment, Luo Zheng's heart was also extremely shocked.

Along with his movements, every move of the Falling Star Fist was like when he killed the Ironback Wolf. Every movement was slowed down by a hundred times and appeared in his Spirit Sea. He could clearly see the flaws and shortcomings of every punch.

In just a short while, Luo Zheng had grasped all the key points of the Falling Star Fist's difficult points. He could correct them himself, as if there was a martial dao master guiding him in his cultivation.

This effect was even more effective than the guidance of a martial dao master. No matter how strong a martial dao master was, it was impossible for them to reach the realm of observation.

He was completely immersed in his cultivation, concentrating on punching.

As time passed, Luo Zheng's Falling Star Fist became as proficient as if he had been practicing it for ten years.

A few hours later, the moon set and the sun rose.

In the room, Luo Zheng was still concentrating on practicing the Falling Star Fist.

Suddenly, his body shuddered, and a series of crackling sounds came from his bones.

"Bone Tempering Realm! I didn't expect to break through to the Bone Tempering Realm so quickly. I'm one step closer to entering the Five Saints Army and saving my father. "

Luo Zheng's starry eyes flickered with joy. He found that not only had his cultivation increased to the Bone Tempering Realm, but even the Sword Master Space had extended by three feet.

However, his joy didn't last long, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

After cultivating for a night, all the furniture in the room had become trash.

Fortunately, Luo Zheng didn't care. For a martial cultivator, these things were worthless.

Wearing the Ash Wolf Robe, he walked towards the Dining Hall. After cultivating, it was time to replenish his energy.

Just as he reached the entrance of the Dining Hall, he heard a commotion.

"Damn fatty, I know you got two Blood Nourishing Pills yesterday. Give them to me, I want them both!"

Chapter 6

I want to challenge you.

In the Five Beast Army, the military ranks were split into Honorary Martial Soldiers, Official Martial Soldiers, and Elite Martial Soldiers … The higher the military rank, the more benefits there were. One could even choose high-grade martial arts for free!

In the Blue Wolf Camp, the Honorary Martial Soldiers wore the ordinary Blue Wolf uniform, the Official Martial Soldiers wore the two-headed Blue Wolf uniform, and the Elite Martial Soldiers wore the three-headed Blue Wolf uniform …

The tall youth who spoke was Xiao Han's trusted aide, Zhou Qi. He was at the Bone Forging stage and was an official Martial Soldier.

In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, the strong were respected, and it was the same in the military. It was not strange to see people snatching pills. If one's strength was inferior to the other party's, one could only lower one's head. Otherwise, even if one took a beating, it would be for nothing.

Normally, the military instructors in the barracks would not care about such things. This was because the martial soldiers of the Five Beasts Army were all wealthy and respectable. It was not good to offend any of them, so they simply turned a blind eye.

"Why should I give my medicinal pills to you? Scram!"

Yesterday, he had just been beaten up by Zhou Qi. He did not expect that Zhou Qi would not let him off and bully him again today. Wang Nian was furious.

"What? Brat, you've got guts. You didn't beat me enough yesterday, did you? "

Seeing that Wang Nian was resisting, a ruthless look flashed across Zhou Qi's eyes. He kicked Wang Nian in the stomach.

Wang Nian let out a blood-curdling scream as his face turned red from the pain. He clutched his stomach as he glared at Zhou Qi. Filled with rage, he charged forward. "Damn it, you're bullying me again. I'll fight it out with you!"

As he spoke, he threw a punch at Zhou Qi's face.

"Hahaha, you coward, you still want to fight me?!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qi laughed maniacally. He easily dodged the punch and slapped Wang Nian's face viciously.

With a bang, Wang Nian was slapped to the ground. The handprint on his face was red as he cursed, "Kill me if you have the guts. Otherwise, I'll have my revenge!"

"Hahaha, revenge? I won't kill you, I'll cripple you!"

Zhou Qi's face was full of contempt as he lifted his foot and stepped on Wang Nian's face.

Just as he was laughing, Zhou Qi suddenly felt his shoulder tighten, as if it was being clamped by a pair of iron pincers. Enraged, he hurriedly turned around.

Who would have thought that as soon as he turned his head, a large palm came whistling through the air toward him.

Pa!

Zhou Qi's face was fiercely slapped, and he screamed as he flew out.

"It's you! Luo Zheng, you … you're not dead? "

Zhou Qi was shocked to see that the person standing in front of him was actually Luo Zheng. He was extremely shocked. Yesterday, he had personally tied Luo Zheng tightly with a hemp rope. The rope had cut into his flesh and it was impossible for him to break free.

Moreover, the whip that he had used to whip Luo Zheng the other night had been soaked in a special potion. It would leave a wound that was difficult to heal. It would fester and fester, and the wound would only get bigger and bigger!

Why was Luo Zheng acting as if nothing had happened at this time? Zhou Qi was puzzled.

The surrounding youths of the Blue Wolf Battalion all looked at Luo Zheng in astonishment.

Xiao Han was known to be vicious and merciless. Luo Zheng was a commoner with no background. If he offended Xiao Han, he would die without a doubt.

Luo Zheng hadn't appeared for the entire day yesterday, and Xiao Han had obtained the First Martial Art Demonstration Merit. Everyone had a guess in their hearts, and guessed that something bad must have happened to him.

Who would have thought that not only was Luo Zheng alive, but he had also sent Zhou Qi flying with a slap.

Zhou Qi was Xiao Han's favorite. In the ranking of the Blue Wolf Battalion, he was close to the top hundred. Luo Zheng's actions could be said to be extremely daring.

"Could it be that someone saved him?"

Zhou Qi was bewildered. His eyes were red as he stared at Luo Zheng. "You bastard, you dare to sneak attack me from behind!"

"Bastard? Wang Nian is my brother! Hitting my brother is the same as breaking my arms and legs! "

Hearing the word bastard, Luo Zheng's face revealed a smile. The strength of some rich and powerful disciples was astonishing. Naturally, they had the right to be arrogant.

Zhou Qi's strength was ordinary. He thought himself infallible and regarded commoners as ants. Who knew where his confidence came from.

"I want to challenge you and take your official martial soldier position!"

Luo Zheng said indifferently.

"Challenge me? Hmph! "

Zhou Qi's eyes were cold. He had been slapped by Luo Zheng in public. He was furious and the veins on his face were bulging. Now that he heard that Luo Zheng wanted to challenge him, he revealed a smile.

He knew that if Xiao Han knew that Luo Zheng had escaped this time, he would be furious.

However, it was a good thing that Xiao Han was currently in closed-door training and would only come out after a month. Luo Zheng's challenge to him instead gave him a fair and square opportunity to kill Luo Zheng.

Wang Nian climbed up from the ground. There were still shoe prints on his face. He squeezed to Luo Zheng's side and asked worriedly, "Luo Zheng, forget it. I'm not a big deal."

"Don't worry, just watch me take revenge for you." Luo Zheng waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"Luo Zheng, you dare to challenge me. You're courting death. However, I'll give you a chance!" Zhou Qi sneered.

The army of the Hundred Battles Dynasty adhered to the rule of the strong. As long as one had the strength, one could stand out.

Although the Five Beasts Army was not an official army, they followed the same rule!

However, if one wanted to challenge a superior and take his position, there was a price to pay. Once one failed, one would be at the mercy of the superior. Usually, one could not escape death!

"I'll wait for you in the arena in two hours!"

Luo Zheng smiled faintly and glanced at Zhou Qi. Then, he said to Wang Nian, "Let's go and eat. Only when you're full will you have the strength to beat a dog."

Some of the youths secretly laughed when they heard this. Everyone knew that Zhou Qi was Xiao Han's lackey.

Chapter 7

It's My Turn

The combat arena!

A circular stone platform with a diameter of fifty feet was built from hard granite.

Two hours later, the news had already spread throughout the Blue Wolf Battalion. Many people were shocked. They did not expect that Luo Zheng would dare to challenge Zhou Qi.

Even the Flying Dragon Battalion, Giant Elephant Battalion, Iron Tiger Battalion and Blood Leopard Battalion had received the news. However, these four battalions had always looked down on the Blue Wolf Battalion and ignored them.

Only famous experts and geniuses would attract attention.

However, at this time, many youths from the Blue Wolf Battalion had already gathered around the combat arena.

"Luo Zheng is dead for sure. Zhou Qi is ranked one hundred and third in the battalion. His strength is not bad among those of the same level. I estimate that Luo Zheng will not last more than ten moves."

"Zhou Qi cultivates the Mountain Quaking Fist, a middle-grade human-level martial art. And Luo Zheng's martial art is the Galloping Horse Strength, a low-grade human-level martial art. The difference is too great!"

"Luo Zheng comes from a poor background. He has just entered the Blue Wolf Battalion and wants to become an official soldier. He really overestimates himself."

These youths were all disciples of wealthy families. They had a sense of superiority and looked down on poor people. They all felt that Luo Zheng was asking for humiliation by challenging Zhou Qi.

Luo Zheng stood on the Martial Prowess Arena with an indifferent expression and did not make a sound.

When the surrounding people saw him like this, they were even more disdainful.

"If Luo Zheng wins this battle, he can replace Zhou Qi as an official soldier. If he loses, he will be at Zhou Qi's disposal. Those who go back on their words will be guilty of the same crime as deceiving the emperor. Begin!"

A middle-aged instructor with a sturdy figure said. Then he glanced at Luo Zheng indifferently and walked down the arena. He stood with the other two instructors with an indifferent expression.

In the eyes of this instructor, there was no suspense in this battle.

"Hey, Luo Zheng, today I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. However, if you kneel down and kowtow to me a hundred times, I may not kill you later!"

Zhou Qi's eyes were filled with hatred. He had just been slapped by Luo Zheng in the cafeteria. In just a short two hours, he had become the laughingstock of the Blue Wolf Battalion.

At this moment, he was extremely ashamed and angry. He only wanted to humiliate Luo Zheng on the combat arena and regain some face.

"Kneel down and kowtow? What are you daydreaming about? Come! "

Luo Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with disdain.

"If that's the case, then go to hell. Thousand Mountain Fist!"

Zhou Qi was enraged. His aura surged and the muscles on his body swelled up. He punched out like lightning!

Bang bang bang!

The powerful force squeezed the air, causing a series of air explosions to sound out!

"Zhou Qi is only sixteen years old, and with the help of a large number of pills, it's not difficult for him to create a Qi Explosion with the power of the Mountain Quaking Fist. Bang bang bang bang bang! Bang bang Bang Bang!!

"Fourteen years old. Before he entered the Five Beast Army, he came from a humble background and rarely used elixirs. Yet, he has the cultivation of the Muscle Forging Realm. This Luo Zheng has great potential. It's a pity that he offended Xiao Han. "

"Hmph, in this world, talent does not guarantee survival. Luo Zheng does not know how to lower his head in the face of power. He is destined to stop here!"

The three instructors were conversing below the stage. Their gazes towards Luo Zheng were filled with pity and disdain.

At this moment, Luo Zheng was looking at the incoming fist. He was motionless, as if he had been scared silly.

"He doesn't even have the strength to fight back. What's the point of challenging him? He is simply courting death!"

Some of the youths looked at him with disdain.

The instructor who was feeling a little regretful frowned. He was greatly disappointed. "Sigh, this Luo Zheng is still from a humble family after all. He hasn't seen much of the world. The moment he stepped onto the Martial Prowess Stage, he was scared silly.

Below the arena, Wang Nian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. His voice was hoarse from shouting, but Luo Zheng did not seem to hear him.

No one saw that the corners of Luo Zheng's mouth were slightly upturned. There was a smile in his eyes. In his eyes, Zhou Qi's fist was full of flaws and could be easily dodged.

"Hahaha, bastard, I only need one fist to beat you down!"

Zhou Qi saw this and laughed maniacally. His fist was less than a foot away from Luo Zheng's face. There was no way to dodge it!

However, at this moment, Luo Zheng suddenly moved to the left and smiled mockingly.

"Haha, this idiot only realized it now. It's too late."

A few of the youths laughed loudly.

However, Luo Zheng's slight movement caused the expressions of the three instructors below the arena to turn into shock.

The instructors of the Five Beast Army were almost all at the Blood Tempering Realm or Marrow Changing Realm. They had extraordinary eyesight.

Zhou Qi was stunned. He suddenly realized that his fist, which he had been so sure of, had brushed past Luo Zheng's shoulder.

He had dodged it.

"It's my turn!"

Then, a low roar entered Zhou Qi's ears.

Bam!

In an instant, Luo Zheng's body moved back. He lowered his shoulder and suddenly exerted force. Zhou Qi flew out as if he had been hit by a cannon.

"How did he do it … he had perfect timing. This is not any martial arts, but martial arts talent!"

The middle-aged instructor who was hosting the competition muttered to himself.

Chapter 8

To the point of perfection

"This Luo Zheng is really lucky!"

The youths below the stage were all stunned. However, most of them were relieved. They believed that with the gap between the two of them, Luo Zheng could not have hurt Zhou Qi. He was just lucky.

"How is that possible? He dodged my punch and even injured me!"

"No, I was careless and underestimated him!"

Zhou Qi only felt a splitting pain in his chest. He could not understand why this happened and could only comfort himself.

"Who said that he would defeat me with one punch? Looks like the person who needs to kowtow is you, Zhou Qi. Do as I say, 100 times and I'll let you off. "

Luo Zheng casually rubbed his nose and said with a smile.

"Bullsh * t, I was just careless!"

Zhou Qi felt many pairs of eyes staring at him from below the arena. He was embarrassed and angry and his lungs were about to explode.

There was also an uproar below the stage. These disciples from wealthy families had originally looked down on Luo Zheng. Now that they saw him injure Zhou Qi in one move, they were even more hostile.

"What's there to be arrogant about? Brother Zhou was just careless. He let you get away with one move and he thinks he's infallible."

"How dare you! You are indeed from a humble family!"

"Zhou Qi, don't hold back. Beat him to death!"

Below the arena, everyone was scolding Luo Zheng loudly.

At this moment, a young girl in a light green dress slowly walked over from a distance away from the arena. Beside her was a mighty youth in a four-headed elephant robe.

Behind the two of them, a few youths in elephant robes followed closely.

These youths were burly and the lowest military rank was an official Martial Soldier. They were full of energy and showed their powerful cultivation strength.

"Sister, what's there to see about the Sky Wolf Battalion's fight? The strongest among them can't even defeat your brother's finger."

The mighty youth said indifferently.

"Sister Yue, the Crown Prince is right. The Sky Wolf Battalion is ranked last among the Five Beast Battalions. They are just a bunch of trash."

Behind him, a handsome young man with an arrogant look on his face said with disdain.

"Humph!"

When the young girl in green heard this, her face was filled with displeasure. She turned her head away and ignored the young man. She took large strides and jogged towards the battle arena.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince shook his head and ran over.

"Young Duke, the princess doesn't seem to want to talk to you!"

Seeing the arrogant youth suffer a setback, his companions began to make fun of him.

The arrival of the Giant Elephant Battalion caused some commotion below the arena. Many people saw them and consciously made way for them, retreating to the side.

"Why did Crown Prince Rong Hao come to watch this kind of competition? Who was the girl in green? He seems to be very close to the Crown Prince. "

"That's Princess Rongyue. I heard that the princess met with danger on her way to the military camp and even went missing for half a day. Later on, she returned on her own."

"So it's the legendary Princess Rongyue. She is indeed an outstanding beauty, capable of causing the downfall of a city. Tsk tsk!"

Some of the youths discussed in low voices as they stole glances at the green-clothed girl. Their gazes were all burning.

Princess Rongyue seemed to be used to this kind of gaze. She walked over leisurely.

Her pair of beautiful eyes looked towards the arena.

The instant she saw Luo Zheng, her delicate face blushed slightly. A trace of shyness and pleasant surprise flashed through her eyes.

"Luo Zheng, you're dead meat. This time, even if you kowtow, it's useless. I won't let you off …"

Zhou Qi's face alternated between green and red. His gaze was extremely cold.

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Luo Zheng revealed an impatient expression. His figure flashed as his feet tapped the ground and he charged out like a galloping horse. The rhythm of his body was like that of a wild horse galloping madly.

"The combination of form and intent! This Luo Zheng has actually practiced the Galloping Horse Force to the point of perfection! "

The middle-aged instructor cried out in surprise. He was shocked once again.

As everyone knew, the power of a martial art was related to the degree of familiarity with the martial art. Generally, it could be divided into small success and large success.

There was another stage, but very few people could reach it. That was the point of perfection.

For a martial art to achieve the combination of form and intent, it was the embodiment of perfection. To reach this stage, one needed extremely strong martial talent and strong willpower.

At this moment, Crown Prince Rong Hao, who originally had an indifferent expression, also raised his head and cast his gaze on Luo Zheng. He was somewhat astonished.

Rong Hao was also an extremely talented genius. He had practiced a martial art to the point of perfection.

Others might not be very clear, but he knew that the difficulty of this was unimaginably high.

Moreover, there was no use in just training bitterly. One needed astonishing talent to be able to reach this stage!

"That year, if it wasn't for my father watching me practice with a whip every day, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to practice the [Falling Star Fist] to the point of perfection. This guy from the Blue Wolf Battalion can reach this stage. It's really amazing. However, he practices the Galloping Horse Force and I practice the [Falling Star Fist]. My talent is still above his. "

Rong Hao secretly compared himself to Luo Zheng. His expression returned to indifference.

"So what if he's at the point of perfection. It's only a low-grade human step martial art!"

Zhou Qi heard the exclamations below the stage and became even more furious. His veins popped out and all the strength in his body exploded out. He punched out. "Shaking Mountains and Splitting Rocks!"

The sound of the air exploding was deafening!

The power of this punch was even stronger than before. It reached six thousand jin of strength and struck towards Luo Zheng!

This punch was not aimed directly at Luo Zheng. Instead, it hit the path that he had to pass through. It was very tricky. Once a galloping horse accelerated at full speed, it was very difficult to immediately stop. Sprinting in a straight line for a short distance, it was also very difficult to change its course.

Chapter 9

Winning with a Single Punch

"Just now, he relied on a bit of luck and thought he was invincible. He's really digging his own grave!"

"The power of this punch can shake mountains and rivers. If Luo Zheng takes it head-on, he'll definitely die!"

Seeing Zhou Qi throw out this punch, the youths who could tell what was going on all cheered.

If Zhou Qi lost, it would be equivalent to a wealthy family losing to a humble family. This was something they didn't want to see!

"Brother, is Luo Zheng going to lose for sure?"

Princess Rongyue stared at the stage with a trace of anxiety on her face.

"If he dodges first, he might have a chance to turn the tables. If he takes it head-on, he'll definitely lose. However, the chances are pitifully low. At most, it's one in a thousand because Luo Zheng's cultivation is too weak."

Crown Prince Rong Hao didn't notice his sister's strange expression and said indifferently.

"Then save him." Princess Rongyue clenched her sweaty fists and said anxiously.

"No one is allowed to interfere in the battle in the arena. This is the rule set by the War Emperor. If I break it, I'll be sentenced to death. Are you trying to kill me?"

Crown Prince Rong Hao rolled his eyes. This wasn't something to joke about.

"Hmph, then I'll ignore you."

Princess Rongyue stomped her feet and closed her eyes. She prayed in her heart, "Brother, quickly dodge. Don't fight head-on with him."

However, Luo Zheng did not dodge. Instead, he continued to charge forward and threw a punch at Zhou Qi's fist. It was a simple punch.

"Fierce Horse Kicks Air!"

This scene made Zhou Qi's supporters laugh coldly.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures crossed each other. Their fists violently collided and the air exploded.

"I'm going to break your arm!"

Zhou Qi laughed sinisterly. The strength of the Bone Tempering Realm poured into this punch, pushing the Mountain Quaking Fist to its limits.

He seemed to have heard the sound of Luo Zheng's bones breaking.

"You're the one who's breaking!"

A cold glint flashed in Luo Zheng's eyes. His powerful aura was like an explosion. A power as vast as the sea burst forth.

"How can you be in the Bone Tempering Realm? It's only been one night! "

Suddenly, he discovered that Luo Zheng's aura had risen sharply, not at all weaker than his own. Zhou Qi's heart was filled with shock, and panic appeared on his face.

Yesterday, when Zhou Qi had captured Luo Zheng and tied him to the stone pillar, Luo Zheng hadn't been able to resist at all. His cultivation base had only been at the Muscle Forging realm.

"How could an idiot like you understand the world of geniuses?" Luo Zheng sneered.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Qi's face contorted as he felt intense pain!

A destructive force smashed onto his fist. With a series of cracking sounds, his body flew out uncontrollably and fell off the battle arena.

Zhou Qi's entire right arm was twisted and deformed. The broken part had pierced through his muscles and was exposed.

"Zhou Qi was sent flying!"

"I remember that just a few days ago, Luo Zheng was still in the Muscle Forging realm. How did he break through to the Bone Forging realm so quickly?!"

"Zhou Qi is a powerhouse close to the top 100 on the ranking list! Before this, Luo Zheng wasn't even on the ranking list! "

The originally arrogant expressions of the rich and powerful youths below the stage had all disappeared, leaving only shock on their faces.

Everyone could see that this time, Luo Zheng had received Zhou Qi's full force punch head-on. There were no tricks at all!

It should have been Zhou Qi crushing Luo Zheng, but the result was the complete opposite.

"According to the rules of the challenge, only when one side concedes or dies will the victor be determined. Falling off the battle arena doesn't count as a loss!"

The middle-aged instructor said loudly.

"That's right, he hasn't lost yet. Zhou Qi, quickly get on the stage and beat Luo Zheng to death."

"The Mountain Quaking Fist is a mid-grade human-tier martial art. It's extremely powerful. Even if they have the same cultivation base, Luo Zheng won't be able to defeat Zhou Qi!"

"We definitely can't let a commoner like Luo Zheng defeat us!"

Below the battle arena, the crowd was in a frenzy as a group of youths shouted loudly at Zhou Qi.

"Motherf * cker, why don't you guys go up and fight? Luo Zheng was only at the Muscle Forging Realm yesterday, but he's already at the Bone Forging Realm today. He's simply a monster! My bones are already broken, how can I still fight?! "

Zhou Qi's broken arm was in so much pain that the corner of his mouth twitched. His head was covered in sweat and his heart was filled with hatred. However, he also knew that he had no chance to turn the tables today.

"Zhou Qi, did you hear that? They want you to come up and beat me to death. Are you going up or not? I don't have time to accompany you. If you don't want to come up, then I can only go down! "

Luo Zheng stood on the battle arena and looked down at Zhou Qi. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with a cold light.

If it wasn't for the fact that you can't kill me on the battle arena, Zhou Qi would already be a dead man!

"I … admit defeat!"

Zhou Qi knew what he had done to Luo Zheng. When he met Luo Zheng's gaze, he only felt a chill run down his spine. After saying those words, he hugged his broken arm and fled as fast as he could.

"How can he lose!"

"Zhou Qi is a good-for-nothing. He lost to a boy from a humble family!"

"Zhou Qi is only a trusted aide of Xiao Han. That's why everyone gave in to him. With his strength, he can't even be ranked in the top one hundred in the Sky Wolf Battalion. There are too many people who can defeat him!"

"Luo Zheng, I'll let you be happy for a few days. After seven days, I'll definitely let you understand what true strength is!"

The group of youths from the Sky Wolf Battalion all showed an indignant expression and left angrily.

Luo Zheng smiled unconcernedly and walked down the battle arena.

"Luo Zheng wins this challenge. He will replace Zhou Qi and be promoted to an official Martial Soldier!"

The middle-aged instructor announced loudly and then left with the other two instructors. In the Five Beasts Army, unless it was necessary, the instructors would not interfere in matters between Martial Soldiers.

According to the military rules, after a challenge, regardless of the winner or loser, one could not accept another challenge for seven days.

"This Luo Zheng is very interesting."

Crown Prince Rong Hao looked deeply at Luo Zheng and turned to leave with Princess Rongyue, who was pleasantly surprised.

"Brother, help me do something …" Rongyue whispered into Rong Hao's ear.

"What? I'm not familiar with that boy …" Rong Hao said disapprovingly.

"If you don't help me, I'll go back and complain to Father that I was almost bitten to death by an Ironback Wolf.

Chapter 10

Lightning Spike

The fighting arena that was originally bustling with noise and excitement suddenly quieted down.

"Hahaha, Luo Zheng, you were simply too awe-inspiring just now. Zhou Qi was like a stray dog. It felt so good!"

Wang Nian rushed up to the arena, extremely excited. "You're now an official Martial Soldier. With you protecting me from now on, let's see who dares to bully me!"

"Let's go back!"

Luo Zheng grinned and patted Fatty's shoulder.

Defeating Zhou Qi was nothing. Zhou Qi was not even ranked in the Blue Wolf Battalion, not to mention the thousands of talented youths in the entire Five Beast Army.

Luo Zheng's biggest wish was to join the Five Saints Army, make contributions, and get a Sovereign Golden Talisman to clear his father's name.

However, it was extremely difficult to enter the Five Saints Army. Only those who were ranked in the top 100 of the Five Beasts Army would have the opportunity to participate in the Five Saints Army's assessment.

"Brat, this is a reward from Crown Prince Rong Hao …"

Just as he was about to leave, a young man wearing a mammoth costume suddenly walked over and threw a small bottle into Luo Zheng's hand before turning around and leaving.

"I'm from the Giant Elephant Battalion. How did Crown Prince Rong Hao know me?"

Luo Zheng had a puzzled look on his face. He opened the small porcelain bottle and was surprised to see that there were actually two Blood Nourishing Pills inside.

Wang Nian was also shocked. "Crown Prince Rong Hao is Duke Rong's son and a genius of the Giant Elephant Battalion. It's said that he reached the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of fifteen and was already set to join the Five Saints Army. Just now, he brought a little girl to watch your match with Zhou Qi. "

"Little girl …"

Luo Zheng's heart jolted as he thought of something.

At this time, the young man who gave Luo Zheng the small porcelain bottle also returned to his companions.

"That kid surnamed Luo was actually able to practice the Galloping Horse to the point of perfection and even received the recognition of the Crown Prince. He is not simple."

The young man said indifferently.

"From the beginning to the end, he only knew how to use the Galloping Horse Strength. Obviously, he only practiced one martial art. If I was like him, I would definitely be able to do it. However, I'm afraid that this Blood Nourishing Pill wasn't a gift from the Heir. Just now, when this brat won, the Princess seemed to be very happy. Obviously, she had a good impression of him. After that, the Princess whispered in the Heir's ear for a while, which led to this matter of the Blood Nourishing Pill. "

As a youth spoke, he intentionally glanced at the proud Zhao Feng and spoke with deep meaning.

Zhao Feng, the youngest son of the Zhenyuan Marquis.

Yue Shi and Rong Wang and Rong Lun were old friends and Zhao Feng had been using the relationship between the two families to pursue Rong Yue, but Rong Yue had always been cold.

"Hmph, Luo Zheng, you're from a lowly and humble family, yet you've gained the favor of the princess!"

Zhao Feng's expression was grim as he looked in the direction Luo Zheng had left, his eyes full of hatred.

At this moment, the news that Luo Zheng had defeated Zhou Qi and was promoted to an official martial soldier slowly spread throughout the Five Beast Army. His name also appeared on the Blue Wolf Battalion's ranking list, ranking 100th, pushing Zhou Qi below him.

In the Five Beast Army's tent, the middle-aged instructor who had presided over this battle stood below.

"Oh, you're saying that Luo Zheng has mastered the Stampeding Horse Strength, a low-class Human-level martial art, to the point of perfection and defeated Zhou Qi?"

Above him was an extremely handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples. He wore black battle armor and had a cold expression. A powerful aura emanated from his body, indicating that his cultivation was profound.

"That's right!"

The middle-aged instructor nodded. "Luo Zheng's cultivation talent and battle talent are both above average. It's a pity that he's from a humble family."

"Our duty is to select talents for the War Emperor, regardless of whether they're from a wealthy or humble family. No matter how wealthy or humble a family is, ten thousand years ago, they were just barbarians who drank raw meat and drank blood."

The young man was expressionless. "As long as he's a youth with potential, you don't know if he'll be able to establish a wealthy family for our War Emperor. Who knows, he might even become a Holy Martial King!"

"I understand." The middle-aged instructor left.

At that moment, Luo Zheng had also arrived at the Five Beast Army's Military Affairs Hall.

"Luo Zheng defeated Zhou Qi, a mid-class martial soldier. He's here to collect his uniform."

Walking into the Military Affairs Hall, Luo Zheng found an instructor and took out his identity card.

"Okay."

The instructor checked the identity card and confirmed that it was correct. He took out two sets of two-headed Blue Wolf uniforms and handed them to Luo Zheng. He said, "After advancing to a mid-class martial soldier, you'll receive a mid-class Human-level martial arts technique. In the future, you'll be able to adopt a Blood Nourishing Pill every month. This is the certificate to select a martial arts technique from the Martial Proclamation Hall. "

Then, the instructor took out a black wooden plaque and handed it to Luo Zheng.

"Great!"

Luo Zheng took it. His face was expressionless, but he was secretly delighted.

In the past, Luo Zheng came from a poor family. It was already extremely lucky for him to be able to obtain the Galloping Horse Strength martial arts technique. In terms of elixirs, he couldn't even afford the lowest grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

But in these two days, he had first obtained the Falling Star Fist, and now he could go to the Martial Proclamation Hall to select a martial arts technique. This change was like heaven and earth!

Trainee martial soldiers could receive two low-class mortal level Qi Nourishing Pills every month. Official martial soldiers could receive one mid-class mortal level Blood Nourishing Pill every month. The medicinal power of one Blood Nourishing Pill was equivalent to ten Qi Nourishing Pills. The treatment was five times better.

In the Hundred Battles Dynasty's army, elixirs were equivalent to rations and salaries. The more outstanding one's cultivation was, the higher the military rank, and the more cultivation resources one would receive.

After leaving the Military Affairs Hall, Luo Zheng went straight to the Martial Proclamation Hall and chose a sword technique martial arts technique, Lightning Ray Pierce.
