Chapter 50

Killing Xiao Han

Luo Zheng smiled and shook his head indifferently. "Xiao Han, you wanted Zhou Qi to kill me last time, but you failed. This time, it will be the same. And this time, your failure will be eternal. You won't have any more chances! I want you to disappear from this world forever. All those who threaten the lives of my family must die! "

As soon as his voice fell, the Blue Inferno Sword trembled and emitted a long cry. The blue Sword Qi once again burst out and slashed towards Xiao Han's body.

"Hahaha, so what if your strength is above mine? You still can't kill me. When I leave here, I will ask my father to mobilize the army and annihilate your entire family! Sweeping Shadow Movement Technique! "

Xiao Han laughed wildly in anger. His body flickered and turned into four blurry figures that quickly flashed in four directions.

This movement technique was a high-grade human-level movement technique. It was also Xiao Han's life-saving technique. Even if someone was much stronger than him, it would be difficult to injure him.

Unfortunately, he met Luo Zheng. In the space of ten feet, Luo Zheng was the master!

Xiao Han's figure was completely within Luo Zheng's perception. The other three illusions could not affect Luo Zheng at all.

The Sword Qi suddenly fell, and a wail sounded. Blood spurted for a long time and an arm flew out.

Xiao Han screamed crazily. His face was incomparably pale. Blood flowed like a fountain. He clutched his wound tightly and stared at Luo Zheng with incomparable hatred.

Luo Zheng looked at Xiao Han indifferently with a playful smile on his face. He did not speak.

After a long time, Xiao Han suddenly laughed contemptuously, "Haha, you still don't dare to kill me, right? Today, when I die, my family will avenge me. At that time, your whole family will be buried for me! "

Seeing that Luo Zheng did not go out again, Xiao Han showed a proud expression. He endured the pain and picked up his severed arm. He stood up and was about to leave.

Even if his arm was severed, with the power of the Xiao family, they could find elixirs to reconnect the arm and bone!

Xiao Han thought that Luo Zheng still did not have the guts to kill him!

"Haha, you think I don't dare to kill you …"

Luo Zheng chuckled and his sword vibrated.

Shua!

Xiao Han let out another blood-curdling scream. Another arm flew high into the air, and blood spurted into the air.

"You're wrong. Actually, I just wanted to see your frightened face!"

Luo Zheng's face revealed a sinister smile.

Xiao Han's entire body fell to the ground. His entire body was trembling. His face was full of disbelief as he screamed, "How dare you! How dare you treat me like this! Don't you know that my father is a second-grade general of the Xiao Dynasty? Our Xiao Clan is very powerful. If we want to kill a lowly clan like you, it would be as easy as turning our hand.

"Hehehe, did anyone see that? ..... ..... How......

Luo Zheng's expression was indifferent.

.......... . Haha, it's all thanks to you. You failed to kill me and gave me a heaven-shaking opportunity. So, even if I kill you, so what if your Xiao Clan suspects me? Without evidence, you can't deal with me openly. You can only secretly send people to test me and assassinate me. By then, I will have grown into an unshakable tree. If your Xiao family dares to touch me, I will exterminate your family. "

Luo Zheng's eyes and words exuded confidence.

The more he understood the Heavenspan Sword Formation, the more confident he became.

"You, you …"

Xiao Han's shoulders continued to bleed. His face was pale and his body trembled. His heart was filled with despair.

At this moment, Xiao Han understood that Luo Zheng had long since made up his mind to kill him.

He felt an unprecedented fear, so much so that he couldn't even beg for mercy.

In less than two months, he had risen from the Tendon Forging Realm to the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm. He was half a step away from the Marrow Changing Realm.

What kind of terrifying cultivation speed was this?!

What a heaven-shaking opportunity!

For a humble disciple like Luo Zheng who had no foundation, if this matter were to be leaked out, it would definitely cause countless experts to take action. Since Luo Zheng had told him about this matter, it proved that Luo Zheng had never intended to let him off.

"Alright, now you can die!"

Luo Zheng said indifferently. Xiao Han's face was filled with fear. Killing Xiao Han did not bring him any pleasure. He only killed Xiao Han because he did not want anyone to harm his family.

With a slash, Xiao Han's head rolled on the ground. His eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness.

"This is the fate of the weak."

Luo Zheng indifferently glanced at him. He warned himself that if he was the one who was weak today, his fate would be even more miserable.

Whoosh!

Luo Zheng took out some valuable items from Xiao Han's body. He used the Astral Flame Source to wrap Xiao Han's body, destroying the corpse and leaving no trace.

"Looks like I can't go back to the teleportation portal. I have to use another teleportation portal to return to the main camp. If I go back alone, it will be too suspicious and difficult to explain. If I go back through another portal, I can say that Xiao Han lost me. Then his disappearance will have nothing to do with me. "

Luo Zheng thought for a moment and made up his mind.

One day later, Luo Zheng finally found a teleportation portal.

"Looks like the fifteen-day blood purge assessment is up."

Luo Zheng looked around and realized that there were no longer any Five Beast Army youths around the portal. Occasionally, he could see a few youths rushing over and passing through the teleportation portal.

"I have to wait a little longer and try not to attract too much attention. It's best if I go back without anyone knowing. Then I will immediately go into seclusion to cultivate. Only when I enter the Marrow Changing Realm will I have the ability to protect myself!"

After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng found a place and took out all his gains this time. He also took out all the Five Beasts Tablets and started to calculate.

"One hundred eighty-seven points!"

Luo Zheng was slightly surprised. The Five Beast Tokens that he had obtained, in addition to the tokens that Mu Lan, Li Fan, and Liu Hong had given him, gave him more than sixty points. Xiao Han's Five Beast Tokens actually gave him more than one hundred and twenty points.

"Looks like Xiao Han put in a lot of effort this time. But in the end, he benefited me."

Thinking about how Xiao Han had brought a lot of followers, Luo Zheng grinned and understood. So many Five Beast Tablets, it was very likely that most of them had been squeezed from other people. This was also his usual style.

Luo Zheng wondered what rank he would get in the blood purge assessment with these one hundred and eighty-seven points. What kind of rewards would he get?

After cleaning up everything and putting some things that were not suitable to be exposed into the Qiankun Gourd, Luo Zheng stood up and prepared to return.

"I don't know if Wang Nian had any gains this time. Sigh, as long as this fatty can return safely, it will be fine."

Although Wang Nian had been cultivating crazily recently, his cultivation was not something that could be improved in a short period of time. Luo Zheng did not have high hopes for him. As long as this damn fatty could return safely, it would be fine.

After entering the teleportation array, Luo Zheng returned to the huge square of the Five Beast Army camp in the blink of an eye.

"Kid, quickly go over there and hand in the Five Beast Tokens you obtained. The results of the blood purge assessment will be calculated. If you do not hand in the Five Beast Tokens after the assessment deadline, it will be considered a failure. There is only fifteen minutes left before the deadline! "

An instructor hurriedly urged Luo Zheng as he pointed to the high platform in the distance when he saw him.

Luo Zheng nodded and hurriedly walked over to the high platform.

The rewards for this blood purge assessment were extremely rich.

The first place would receive a high-grade magic weapon, the second place would receive a middle-grade magic weapon, and the third place would receive a Human-rank supreme-grade martial art.

The seventh to the tenth place would receive an inferior-grade magic weapon.

The eleventh to the fifteenth place would receive two Yuan Dan pills.

The sixteenth to the twentieth place would receive one Yuan Dan pill.

The twenty-first to the two-hundredth place would receive Blood Nourishing Elixirs. The only difference was the number of elixirs.

At this moment, except for those who had died in the blood purge assessment, almost all the participating martial soldiers had arrived at the camp.

On the high platform in the middle of the square, there was a huge stone tablet.

On the top of the stone tablet, from top to bottom, were the names of the 20 youths who had ranked in the top 20 of the blood purge assessment.

Before the deadline to hand in the Five Beast Tokens, there was a possibility that the rankings would change.

However, the possibility of such a change was not high. Those martial soldiers with tyrannical cultivation had returned long ago. Only those who were injured or lost would be delayed in their return.

This kind of person wouldn't pose much of a threat to the top twenty.

The top 20 of each blood purge assessment would be announced on the spot and the rewards would be given out. At this moment, there were many people below the high platform waiting to watch a good show.

The youths in the top 20 all stood to the side, waiting to receive their rewards.

"Hmm? Luo Zheng? How is he still alive? That damned Song Chen is also unreliable! "

Zhao Feng, who was in the crowd, saw Luo Zheng appear from afar and his eyes were filled with hatred.

"However, it's good that Song Chen didn't kill that brat. I can save the fifty Blood Nourishing Elixirs. I've gained quite a bit in the desolate valley and will soon break through to the Blood Tempering Realm. At that time, I will kill him personally and take back the Qiankun Gourd!"

Zhao Feng didn't think much about the fact that Song Chen didn't kill Luo Zheng. After all, there were ten teleportation arrays and they were all very far apart. The desolate valley was several thousand miles wide, so it wasn't strange that Song Chen didn't meet Luo Zheng.

Moreover, Zhao Feng had inadvertently entered an ancient tomb in the bottomless valley and obtained quite a few benefits from it.

"Zhao Feng! Hmph! "

Luo Zheng felt Zhao Feng's gaze, but he only glanced at him once before ignoring him. He didn't put this person in his eyes and walked towards the high platform.

On the high platform, there were instructors counting the Five Beast Tokens.

Chapter 51

So what if I play you?

"These people aren't that strong. Liu Guanyu is ranked thirteenth in the Flying Dragon Camp. The strongest person here isn't even as strong as Liu Guanyu. I wonder how he got into the top twenty?"

Luo Zheng glanced at these teenagers.

He could sense that only four of them were in the Marrow Changing Realm. The rest were in the Blood Tempering Realm. There were even three in the Film Forging Realm.

It was obvious that the top 20 people in the Five Beast Army were not the strongest geniuses of the Five Beast Army.

After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng roughly guessed the reason. The reason was simple. There were many ancient cultivator tombs in this Blood Purge test.

It could be said that every ancient martial art practitioner's tomb contained great opportunities. The true geniuses of the Five Beasts Army naturally did not focus on the rewards. Instead, they focused on searching for the ancient tombs.

This was because even the reward for the first place of the Blood Purge was only a mid-grade magic tool. To those youths who came from super clans or ancient clans, it was not rare.

In the Ancient Era's cultivators' tombs, any random harvest would be worth far more than the rewards of the Blood Refinement.

In this way, some of the youths who were not at the top of their strength benefited from this and were ranked very high.

"Brother Tang, you're really in the limelight this time. You actually obtained 186 points and obtained third place in the Blood Refinement Assessment. This Human Tier Martial Skill is extremely rare!"

"That's right. The reward for the third place is actually not inferior to the reward for the second place. It's only slightly inferior to the reward for the first place."

"This Human Tier Superior Grade Martial Skill is usually extremely rare and powerful. I wonder what kind of attribute it will be?"

A few youths, who were waiting to receive their rewards, surrounded a tall and handsome youth and congratulated him.

"I was just lucky. Everyone is giving me face."

Tang Tianwu said modestly, but his face could not hide the proud expression.

Tang Tianwu was the young master of a chamber of commerce in the Hundred Battles Dynasty. His family's wealth was comparable to that of a country. His martial talent was also extremely shocking. He had reached the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of fifteen. He was a famous genius in the Flying Dragon Camp and had always been extremely arrogant.

However, although he was arrogant, he came from a merchant family and was good at flattering people. In front of people who were also of noble birth, he was extremely modest.

In this assessment, Tang Tianwu spent a large amount of Blood Nourishing Pills to invite two powerful geniuses to help him collect the five beast tablets.

Originally, he only had hopes of entering the top ten. He would be satisfied if he could obtain a low-grade magic tool. But he did not expect that in this Blood Purge, most of the young experts were focused on the Ancient Tomb. Unexpectedly, he was able to rush to the third place. He was naturally very happy to be able to obtain a Human Tier Martial Skill.

Seeing Luo Zheng walk over, the top 20 youths all glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. Looking at him, he didn't seem to be a threat.

"Eh, this fellow called Tang Tianwu only needs 186 points to be ranked third in the Blood Purge. Doesn't that mean that I can push him down and obtain a top-grade human-rank martial art?"

Luo Zheng slowly walked over. Hearing the crowd's words, he was also rather surprised.

Thinking in his heart, Luo Zheng could not help but look at Tang Tianwu with some sympathy. He thought to himself, "This fellow is also pitiful. He was happy for nothing."

Immediately, he walked over to the instructor who was counting the five beast tablets.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Tianwu felt Luo Zheng's gaze sweep over, his face immediately revealed a displeased expression. His face turned cold as he glared and said, "Humph, you trash of the Skywolf Battalion, what are you looking at this Young Master for? Are you looking for a beating? Quickly hand in your Five Beast Tablets! "

"Haha, Tang Tianwu, why bother with a brat from the Blue Wolf Battalion? He is just envious of us."

A youth who was also waiting to receive his reward glanced disdainfully at Luo Zheng and said to Tang Tianwu.

"Envious? I am just sympathizing with you. "

Luo Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not expect that a casual glance would cause trouble. He pursed his lips, ignored the two and walked to the instructor.

"Instructor, Luo Zheng from the Blue Wolf Battalion is here to hand in the Five Beast Tablets." Luo Zheng bowed slightly.

"Take them out." The instructor was a middle-aged man and he nodded.

"Yes!"

Luo Zheng took out the leather bag on his back and poured out all the Five Beast Tablets inside. There were dozens of Five Beast Tablets.

"Damn, so many?"

"Who is this brat? The people of the Blue Wolf Battalion are all weak, but he can get so many Five Beast Tablets! "

"It's over. I am ranked 20th. Don't be pushed off the list by him!"

"Looking at this number, not to mention 20th, I am afraid that even the 10th position may not be maintained!"

The youths who were ranked in the top 20 looked nervous as they stared at Luo Zheng and sized him up.

The middle-aged instructor was also very surprised. He glanced at Luo Zheng and began counting.

"One hundred, one hundred and ten."

"One hundred and twenty."

"One hundred and thirty-one."

"Damn, he surpassed me. I was pushed down from 20th place. The reward changed from Yuan Dan to Blood Nourishing Pill. I am really unlucky." A youth cried.

"One hundred and forty-eight."

"Damn, who is this brat? He squeezed my two Yuan Dan into one. I will teach him a lesson later!" The youth ranked 15th gnashed his teeth and stared at Luo Zheng with an unfriendly gaze.

"One hundred and fifty-nine."

"My magic weapon is gone!" The youth ranked 10th used the ground as his head and then stared fiercely at Luo Zheng.

"One hundred and sixty-five."

"One hundred and seventy-eight."

"No way, am I going to be pushed down to fourth place?"

At this time, Tang Tianwu's face was pale and his heart was in his throat. Cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead and he looked a little embarrassed.

He had 186 points and occupied the third position.

Now, Luo Zheng was only eight points away from him. The instructor did not count the Five Beasts Tablets and there were still four left. He could be surpassed at any time.

The reward for third place was a Human Tier Superior Grade Martial Art.

A Human Tier Superior Grade Martial Art must be very powerful. It was only a step away from the power of an Earth Tier Martial Art.

Moreover, a Supreme Grade Martial Art must have a very special attribute. It could definitely become the ultimate technique of a first-rate family.

If such a Martial Art appeared in the auction house, it would inevitably cause a crazy competition among the major families. It was very likely that it would be auctioned at a sky-high price.

Although the Tang Family was rich, they were still merchants. They had plenty of wealth, but their status was greatly lacking. They were often regarded as a nouveau riche.

Some of the rich and powerful families would occasionally show contempt for Tang Tianwu because of this.

After all, the Tang Family had not been rich for a long time and their foundation was insufficient. This was a sore point of the Tang Family.

However, if Tang Tianwu could obtain this Human Tier Superior Grade Martial Art, it would greatly enhance the Tang Family's foundation. Moreover, being able to rank third in the Blood Refinement Assessment would bring glory to the Tang Family.

"Luo Zheng, score 182 points."

The instructor finished counting the last Five Beasts Tablet and announced Luo Zheng's score.

"Hahahaha! The third place is still mine. No one can take the Supreme Grade Martial Art away from me! "

Tang Tianwu's heart finally settled down. He released all his nervous emotions and cheered loudly.

The youths beside him also congratulated Tang Tianwu.

"Thank you everyone. After the rewards are distributed, I will invite the top twenty to the Five Beasts Golden Meal Restaurant to celebrate!"

Tang Tianwu was wild with joy as though he had just escaped death. He spoke to the crowd.

Then, he turned his gaze to Luo Zheng and said mockingly, "Hehe, of course, the person I invited does not include our brother who was lucky enough to obtain fourth place. For us merchant families, the fourth place is death. It is very unlucky and inauspicious. It is easy to encounter bad luck, so I will not invite you. "

"Hahahaha!"

The group of youths knew that Tang Tianwu had been frightened by Luo Zheng and was holding a grudge against him. They all laughed loudly.

They did not pay too much attention to a guy from the Blue Wolf Battalion.

"So the fourth place is so bad?"

Luo Zheng asked as he stared at Tang Tianwu. He rubbed his nose thoughtfully and the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile.

"Hmph, you will know in the future whether it is good or not." Tang Tianwu smiled coldly with contempt in his eyes.

He had always had a wide range of contacts. The people he made friends with were all the best youths from the various battalions or geniuses with shocking martial talent. Regarding Luo Zheng, this kind of nameless pawn, he did not take it seriously at all.

"Forget it. Since the fourth place is so bad, I will change my ranking."

Luo Zheng grinned and shook the leather bag in his hand.

Clang!

A Five Beasts Tablet fell out. On it was a lifelike flying dragon. It was a Flying Dragon Tablet that was worth five points.

182 points. Adding the Flying Dragon Tablet, it was exactly 187 points, surpassing Tang Tianwu!

Luo Zheng lazily picked up the Five Beasts Tablet and smiled as he waved it at Tang Tianwu, "I'm sorry brother, I forgot to take out this tablet. I originally wanted to forget about the fourth place. Since it is too difficult to cultivate, it is useless to get it. It is better to get a magic weapon. Since you said the fourth place is not good, then I will take the third place. "

"That's right, I think everyone should not attend this brother's celebration feast. He is the fourth place. It is very unlucky. If you go, it will be easy to be unlucky."

Luo Zheng looked at the crowd and laughed.

The nearby instructors and youths all shifted their gaze to Tang Tianwu's face.

Tang Tianwu's face was stiff and his mouth was trembling. He could not say anything.

"Brat, who told you to be pretentious? Pretentious will be struck by lightning."

Luo Zheng sneered in his heart and was about to hand the Flying Dragon Tablet to the instructor.

"Brat, are you deliberately playing with me?"

Suddenly, Tang Tianwu moved and blocked in front of Luo Zheng. His eyes were sharp and his voice was cold.

"Oh, you are not stupid? So what if I play with you! "

Luo Zheng smiled faintly, "I will teach you a lesson. Don't look down on people!"

"En! What is your name? Do you know who I am? "

Tang Tianwu's face changed dramatically.

"My name, you will see my name on the list soon!" Luo Zheng curled his lips, "As for who you are, it is none of my damn business!"

Chapter 52

Third Place in the Blood Refining Trial

Whoosh!

Tang Tianwu didn't give up. His figure moved again and blocked in front of Luo Zheng. His eyes were cold. "I want your token. State your price!"

"Who said I was going to sell it to you?"

Luo Zheng couldn't help but smile. This guy was really self-righteous. He had already said this much, but he still didn't understand.

"You have to sell it even if you don't want to!" Tang Tianwu said coldly.

"Heh, you still want to force a sale? Do you think this is your home? Do you think you can do whatever you want? Get lost! "Luo Zheng restrained the smile on his face. His heart was already filled with anger as he spoke indifferently.

"One million taels of gold, is that enough? Give me the sign. "

Tang Tianwu gritted his teeth. His heart was burning with anger. If this had been any other place, he would have already attacked. In the Five Beasts Army, the strong were respected. Sometimes, the fist was the law.

However, he did not have the guts to do so under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the gazes of more than ten instructors.

No one could bear the crime of sabotaging the assessment, but if Luo Zheng was willing to hand in one less Five Beasts Tablet, the instructor would not care about this kind of thing.

"Oh? Do you have a lot of money? Are you trying to use money to pressure me? Since that's the case, give me ten million taels of gold and take away the token. "

Luo Zheng asked sarcastically.

One million gold taels sounded like a lot, but this price was not even enough to buy a low-grade magic weapon, let alone a human-grade martial art.

"Brat, I gave you face, but you don't want it!"

At this point, Tang Tianwu could no longer maintain his composure. The veins on his forehead throbbed as he took a step forward. His aura skyrocketed, and his killing intent soared.

"Brother Tianwu, if we make a move now, we will definitely suffer a great loss. Let him be smug for a while. I will send someone to investigate his background. We know most of the reputable people in the Blue Wolf Camp. I've never seen this guy before. It's very likely that he's a pawn from a second-rate family. Once we leave the square, we can easily crush him to death. At that time, we'll make him kneel on the ground and offer up the Human Step Top Grade martial arts. "

A tall and skinny young man stepped forward and pulled Tang Tianwu back.

"Fine, you'll regret it sooner or later!"

Tang Tianwu was just putting on an act. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would never dare to make a move. He retreated to the side and stared coldly at Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng didn't care and handed the Flying Dragon card to the middle-aged instructor.

"Luo Zheng, blood refinement assessment score 187 points!"

The middle-aged instructor confirmed Luo Zheng's points and then reported it to his superior. Soon, the third place on the stone tablet was changed to Luo Zheng's name.

The people who were watching the commotion below the high platform discovered that the name on the stone tablet had changed. They were all extremely shocked. Tang Tianwu had actually been pushed to fourth place, and the name that replaced him was actually a name that they had never heard of before.

"Who is this Luo Zheng? I've never heard of it before. "

"Do you know which battalion this Luo Zheng belongs to? Which one was born in a noble family? "

A large group of people were at a loss. They didn't know where Luo Zheng came from.

However, there were also some people from the Blue Wolf Battalion present. Soon, news about Luo Zheng spread.

"Tch, I thought that he was a genius from a noble family. So he's from a lowly family."

"A nameless pawn actually became third place in the blood refinement assessment. Hmph!"

"I heard that Luo Zheng had offended Xiao Han. Before returning from the blood refinement assessment, he was chased by Xiao Han. Many people thought that he was dead for sure. Who would have thought that his life wasn't small. He actually survived."

After knowing Luo Zheng's background, everyone spoke of him with a sour taste and was filled with jealousy.

The youths present were the top geniuses of noble families. Each and every one of them was proud and arrogant. Although the ranking of this blood refinement assessment was exaggerated, many people were still unwilling to let a disciple from a humble family obtain third place in the blood refinement assessment.

At this moment, the time for the blood refinement assessment had arrived.

On the high platform, an instructor announced the ranking of the blood refinement assessment.

"Ranking of the blood refinement assessment, first place … third place, Luo Zheng, rewarded with a Human Rank Supreme-Grade Martial Art …"

Luo Zheng stood on the high platform. A wooden tablet of the Martial Proclamation Hall was given to him. With this wooden tablet, he could choose a Human Rank Supreme-Grade Martial Art from the Martial Proclamation Hall.

Below the high platform, a pair of eyes spewed out the light of jealousy. Some people directly stared at the wooden tablet in Luo Zheng's hand with greedy gazes.

"Hmph, Luo Zheng, it's impossible for a person from a humble family like you to keep such benefits. I advise you to give this wooden tablet to me now. I'll give you five hundred thousand gold. Otherwise, as long as you leave this high platform, you'll have to kneel and offer it to me. "

Tang Tianwu was fourth place and just happened to be standing next to Luo Zheng. He held the Dharma Artifact in his hand as he spoke in a sinister voice.

"I'm warning you for the last time. Although my temper isn't bad, there's a limit to my patience. I advise you not to find trouble with me. Otherwise, I'll make you kneel and eat shit."

Luo Zheng smiled coldly and turned to leave the high platform, leaving behind Tang Tianwu who was trembling with anger.

"Luo Zheng."

Just as they left the high platform, Wang Nian's fat figure suddenly appeared. "Tsk tsk, you're in the limelight now. I think half of the people here want to swallow you whole. A Human Rank Supreme-Grade Martial Art is probably worth a few million gold."

Wang Nian stared at the wooden tablet in Luo Zheng's hand, his eyes shining as he swallowed his saliva.

"Fatty, go to the small forest behind Blue Wolf Camp and wait for me. Then …"

Seeing that Wang Nian was safe and sound, Luo Zheng was overjoyed. However, at this moment, there were many youths staring at him with cold gazes. He didn't have the time to speak to Wang Nian and left after whispering a few words.

At this moment, there were seven youths who were closely following Luo Zheng. The two who were following him the most closely were Tang Tianwu and the tall and skinny youth who had been fanning the flames.

"Hmph, they really think I'm a clay figurine that they can knead however they want."

As he slowly walked out of the square, Luo Zheng released his divine sense to scan the area. He already knew that the strongest among the seven youths were Tang Tianwu and the tall and skinny youth. The strength of the others was not even worth mentioning. There was even a Film Forging Stage cultivator among them.

"I can let the others go, but I must teach Tang Tianwu a lesson."

Once out of the square, Luo Zheng stomped his foot and immediately sprinted with all his might.

"Damn it, still trying to run. Hand over the thing in your hand."

"This kid is cunning. Quickly chase him. We must seize the wooden tablet to enter Martial Proclamation Hall!"

"Hehe, Martial Proclamation Hall only recognizes wooden tablets and not people. It belongs to whoever gets it!"

When the seven youths saw Luo Zheng's sudden burst of strength, they all cursed and chased after him.

Luo Zheng was not in a hurry to shake off the people behind him. Instead, he continuously circled around the area where the Five Beast Army buildings were densely packed.

At this moment, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm. In addition, the True Qi in his qi sea was derived from the energy of the Demon Pill refined by the Heavenly Sword Formation. The purity of his True Qi was many times greater than that of other warriors of the same level.

Although he did not use his full speed, it did not take long for only Tang Tianwu and the tall and skinny youth to catch up to him.

"I wonder if Wang Nian is done pooping?"

Seeing that it was about time, Luo Zheng revealed a cold smile and sprinted in the direction of the metropolis' Sky Wolf Battalion.

"Brother Tianwu, it looks like this kid is definitely exhausted. He must be running back to find reinforcements!"

The tall and skinny youth said.

"Hmph, no one can save him!"

Tang Tianwu sneered. He did not take the Sky Wolf Battalion seriously at all.

The two of them hurriedly chased after him. Soon, they entered a small forest behind the Sky Wolf Battalion.

Not long after they entered the forest, Luo Zheng turned around and stood still in an open space. His gaze was indifferent as he looked at the two of them.

"Eh, why aren't you running anymore? Weren't you full of energy just now? "Tang Tianwu sneered.

"Haha, I think he knows he can't run away and wants to beg for mercy," the tall and skinny youth said.

"It's useless to beg for mercy!"

"Hmph, you brat. If you had given me the third place in the blood purge, not only would you have received a million taels of gold, but you would also have received the fourth place Dharma weapon as a reward. Maybe I would be merciful and let you rely on the Tang Family and give you a background! Now, I want you to get nothing. Kneel down and give me the Martial Proclamation Hall token. I only need to break both your hands! "

Tang Tianwu revealed a sinister smile and stared mockingly at Luo Zheng as if he was looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Break both my hands? That sounds so scary."

Luo Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He quickly played along and pretended to be scared.

However, Luo Zheng's acting was completely different. It was obvious that he was mocking him. Tang Tianwu's eyes burned with anger. "Brat, you're about to die, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. I'll make you regret it …"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Whoosh!

Without any warning, Luo Zheng's figure flickered and his fist flew out like lightning.

Tang Tianwu jumped in fright when he saw Luo Zheng's fist flying towards him.

However, when he took a closer look, he realized that Luo Zheng was only attacking with his physical body. There wasn't the slightest bit of True Qi. He immediately relaxed and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, you haven't even entered the Blood Tempering Realm and you dare to attack me? Break for me!"

While speaking, True Qi rushed out of Tang Tianwu's right fist. With a sinister smile, his True Qi fist became the size of a small water tank and fiercely collided with Luo Zheng's fist. "Giant Spirit Fist!"

In the next moment!

Bang!

Tang Tianwu's True Qi fist cracked open, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard from his arm. He screamed miserably as he crashed into a large tree.

Tang Tianwu glared at Luo Zheng and shouted with grief and indignation, "Y-you poor brat! How can you be at the pinnacle of the Blood Tempering Realm?!"

It turned out that Luo Zheng had pretended to be weak and didn't use True Qi. Then, when the two fists were about to collide, he suddenly used his full strength. Tang Tianwu was caught off guard and could only kneel.

In fact, Tang Tianwu couldn't be blamed for being careless. It was impossible for others to be able to control their True Qi as freely as Luo Zheng.

If it wasn't for the Sword Master Domain, how could Lin Yun grasp the opponent's speed and power so accurately?

"Idiot, when did I say that I wasn't in the Blood Tempering Realm?"

Sh * t Eating Promissory Note

"Eh, it's none of my business. I'll leave first."

The youth's face turned green. Just now, Luo Zheng's punch had directly beaten Tang Tianwu to his knees. His strength was far from Tang Tianwu's, so how could he dare to fight with Luo Zheng? He hurriedly turned and fled.

He wished his parents had given birth to him with two more legs!

"None of your business? If it's none of your business, then why are you chasing me so closely? "

Luo Zheng sneered. In a few steps, he had already caught up to the tall and skinny young man. He grabbed his collar and lifted him up. Grabbing one of his arms, he broke it with force.

Crack!

The young man's arm was broken. He hid on the ground and wailed.

"Luo Zheng, I've been having diarrhea for the past few days. This thing is really hard to carry around. I wasted a piece of clothing."

In the distance, Wang Nian pinched his nose and walked over with a bundle of hemp rope on his back and a piece of clothing rolled up into a ball.

"Luo Zheng, why did you ask me to bring a pile of sh * t here? Who are these two guys? "

Wang Nian looked at Luo Zheng, then at the two guys on the ground who were holding onto their broken arms and wailing. His face was filled with confusion, and the clothes in his hands were emitting a terrible stench.

"Hehe, naturally someone wants to eat sh * t."

Luo Zheng stared at Tang Tianwu and the tall and skinny young man with a smirk.

"You, you dare!"

Tang Tianwu's face changed. Seeing Luo Zheng's malicious expression, he hurriedly shouted, "I won't eat sh * t even if you kill me."

"Hehe, I already said that if you dare to provoke me again, I'll make you kneel and eat sh * t. You didn't believe me. You don't have to worry too much. I don't have the guts to kill you. I just want you to eat sh * t, not kill you. "

Luo Zheng chuckled and said to Wang Nian, "Bring the hemp rope over and tie them up. If they don't eat, I'll feed them!"

"There really are people who eat sh * t. This is new. I have to see it today."

Wang Nian laughed when he heard that. He hurriedly took the hemp rope and blamed Luo Zheng. "You didn't make it clear. If I knew that it was for two people, I would have pulled more. What if it's not enough?"

"It's okay. Wait a moment. I'll go take a bath too." Luo Zheng grinned.

"Luo Zheng, you bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Tang Tian and Wu Yu's faces turned green as they cursed non-stop.

In just a few moments, Luo Zheng and Wang Nian tied the two men up like mummies.

Wang Nian found a stick and carefully pried open the clothes that contained the feces. There was a large pile of yellow and black matter, and the stench was overwhelming.

"This guy is the fiercest. Open his mouth and I'll feed him."

Wang Nian used a stick to stir the inside and pointed at Tang Tianwu with a mocking expression.

Tang Tianwu panicked. He had cursed fiercely just now because he knew that Luo Zheng wouldn't dare to kill him in the Five Beasts Army. That was why he had been so unrestrained.

He hadn't expected Luo Zheng to be so immoral as to ask him to eat sh * t. If he really did eat it and the news spread, it would be worse than death.

"Hey, hey, let's talk things out! A warrior can't be humiliated without death. If you humiliate me like this, how can I live in the future? "

Tang Tianwu pulled a long face. The two guys in front of him were too immoral. They didn't look like they were joking at all. He hurriedly admitted defeat.

"I've already broken your arms. In any case, enmity has already been formed. If I don't humiliate you today, you won't let this matter rest in the future. Naturally, I'll have to earn some capital first." Luo Zheng continued to sneer.

"No feud, no feud. What feud do we have? We were just sparring. It's inevitable that we would get injured. We definitely won't seek revenge on Brother Luo."

Tang Tianwu understood the meaning behind Luo Zheng's words and hurriedly put on a smile. Unfortunately, the pain from his broken arm made his face contort, making him look even more ferocious.

"Really?"

Luo Zheng smiled faintly as he asked, half-believing and half-doubting.

"Of course. I, Tang Tianwu, am a man of my word. Otherwise, I'll be struck by lightning." Tang Tianwu was afraid that Luo Zheng wouldn't believe him and hurriedly swore.

"Forget it, I can't afford to take this risk. Treat your words as farts later. Find someone to kill me and end everything. Who am I going to find?"

Luo Zheng curled his lips in disdain and gave Wang Nian a look.

Wang Nian sneered and raised his shit-stirring stick. He bared his white teeth and shouted, "Brat, hurry up and open your mouth. If this sh * t gets on your face, you can't blame Lord Fatty."

"Don't, Luo Zheng. No, no, no, it's Young Master Luo. What do I have to do to make you believe me?"

Tang Tianwu kept his mouth shut and tears were about to fall. "I'll agree to anything you say. Please don't make me eat sh * t!"

The tall and skinny young man also hurriedly pleaded, "Yes, yes, everything can be discussed. This shit can't be eaten. We haven't even gotten married yet. If this matter were to spread out, which girl would be willing to marry us?"

"So that's how it is. Then what should we do? I'm a good person. If the two of you can't find a wife in the future, I can't bear it. "

Luo Zheng stifled a smile as he spoke with an unbearable expression.

"How about this? You guys dared to chase after me this time. Originally, I should've punished you severely. However, seeing that you guys are remorseful, I'll be magnanimous and give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Now, write me an IOU and I'll let you guys go."

After pretending to think for a while, Luo Zheng said with a serious expression.

"IOU?" Tang Tianwu and the youth looked at each other. They didn't know what this IOU was about. They hurriedly asked, "Young Master Luo, how do you write this IOU?"

"Well, write that on a certain date, you should've eaten sh * t. Now, you owe me. You won't dare to trouble me in the future. Otherwise, you'll immediately eat sh * t."

Luo Zheng randomly organized it. This IOU for eating sh * t was really not easy to write. Anyway, it was fine as long as it could be understood.

Puff! Puff!

Hearing this, Tang Tianwu and the youth vomited three liters of blood. Their faces were filled with grief and indignation. They stared at Luo Zheng. Writing this IOU would be a stain for life. It was worse than eating sh * t.

"Why? Looking at your expressions, are you still holding a grudge against me?"

Luo Zheng's face turned cold. "Say it. Write the IOU or eat sh * t. You choose!"

"We wouldn't dare. We wouldn't dare to hold a grudge against Young Master Luo. It's just that we have to write this IOU. If it gets out in the future, we won't be able to live anymore. "

Tang Tianwu smiled apologetically as he negotiated. In his heart, he was cursing Luo Zheng's entire family.

"If it gets out in the future, are you planning to take revenge on me?" Luo Zheng's gaze turned cold.

"No, no, no. Young Master Luo is a magnanimous person. How would I dare to take revenge?" Tang Tianwu was shocked. "It's just that we can't write this IOU. It's too embarrassing."

"Humph, embarrassing? It's up to you whether you want to write it or not. If you don't want to write it, then forget it. "

Luo Zheng suddenly had an idea. He suddenly grinned and said to Wang Nian, "I just thought of a good idea. Why don't we knock them out, stuff their mouths with sh * t, and throw them at the most crowded place in the camp?"

"My sh * t is too diluted. It's hard to stuff it in!" Wang Nian scratched his head and looked serious.

Puff — —!

Puff — —!

Tang Tianwu and the lanky youth vomited nine liters of blood. They had the urge to commit suicide. This move was too vicious. How could he even think of such an idea!

"We'll write the IOU!"

In the end, Tang Tianwu and the lanky youth gave in. They solemnly wrote down two IOU and pressed their fingerprints.

"The literary talent is not bad!"

Luo Zheng looked at the promissory note and praised it in a very annoying manner. He untied the hemp ropes on their bodies and said, "The two of you must remember in the future that if I have something to tell you to do, you must be obedient. Also, don't leak a single word about what happened today. If I hear any bad news, the contents of these two IOU might accidentally leak out. "

"Let's go!"

Tang Tianwu and the lanky youth glared at Luo Zheng. They each held a broken arm and hurriedly left.

Even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't take the initiative to talk about what happened today. This time, they had lost too much face.

Seeing the two of them leave, Luo Zheng and Wang Nian found another place to sit down in the forest and talked about their experience in the Blood Refinement Assessment.

Before the Blood Purge assessment, Luo Zheng had refined two Dharma weapons using the Thunder Metal Refinement. The other one was his Thunderous Explosion Bow.

As for the one he gave to Wang Nian, it was a pair of boots.

This pair of boots was made by Luo Zheng with a lot of effort. It was based on an immortal tool recorded in the Spirit Sword Heavenly Lord's Through Heaven Record. It was called the Thunder Running Boots.

According to legend, the real Thunder Running Boots was an immortal tool refined from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Mysterious Sky Divine Gold. After wearing it, one step could allow one to cross a hundred miles.

As for the Thunder Running Boots that he gave to Wang Nian, it was naturally not that awesome. If it wasn't for the Thunder Metal Essence that contained the power of Heavenly Thunder, it would be impossible to replicate the Thunder Running Boots.

Although Wang Nian had barely succeeded in the end, the result was definitely a far cry from Wang Nian's. However, Wang Nian was able to cross six hundred feet in one step. Among the warriors, unless they were Marrow Changing experts, it would be very difficult for them to catch up to Wang Nian.

It had to be said that this fatty was really lucky. In the desolate valley, he had followed behind others and entered the tomb of an ancient cultivator. He had picked up a lot of benefits and even snatched a Spirit Fruit.

"Look, this is the Spirit Fruit."

Saying that, Wang Nian took out a jade box from his bosom. When he opened it, a fragrant smell entered his nose. It made him feel refreshed and relaxed.

This Spirit Fruit's skin had already lost its luster. It looked very dry, like a large raisin. It was obvious that it had lost a lot of its medicinal power over the years.

However, it could be seen that the remaining medicinal power in the Spirit Fruit was still extremely majestic. It was much stronger than a High Human Rank pill. If he could refine it, his cultivation would definitely improve greatly.

"I don't know what this Spirit Fruit is. I can't use it casually. I have to think of a way to find out the name of this Spirit Fruit and its medicinal power. Then, I can think of a way to use it."

Luo Zheng looked at it a few times. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about Spirit Medicine. He could only close the jade box to prevent the medicinal power from dissipating.

"Help me keep it first. I'm afraid it will be stolen if I keep it with me." Wang Nian said happily.

Luo Zheng nodded. It was indeed a little unreliable to keep such a precious item with this fatty.

Chapter 54

Meteor Step and Breath Concealment

"Don't worry, they are two girls from the Young Phoenix Camp. They were very happy when they found this spiritual fruit. I saw that they were wearing veils, so I also took off my clothes and covered my face. When they were not paying attention, I snatched the spiritual fruit and ran away. They could only see my back at most, so how could they recognize me? Hehe. "

Wang Nian grinned proudly.

"It would be strange if I didn't recognize you."

Luo Zheng looked at Wang Nian's iconic body of fat and said unhappily.

Fortunately, they were robbing people from the Young Phoenix Battalion, so it was pointless. Who knew if they would meet again in the future?

"That's right, I also found a martial art in the tomb. It's called something like the Heaven Devouring Taotie Art. I was confused after reading it. I don't know what it is."

"Heaven Devouring Taotie"

Wang Nian then took out a square piece of golden silk cloth that was the size of a human face. It was filled with small, secretive words.

Luo Zheng looked at it with rapt attention. He was also baffled. The Art of Heaven Devouring Taotie explained that if one practiced this art, they would be able to devour everything in the world to raise their cultivation. When one reached a high level, they would be able to easily devour mountains and seas.

There was a mnemonic chant in the book that was profound and obscure. Luo Zheng only understood half of it and couldn't make any sense of it.

"Since this martial art was discovered by you, it must be fated to be with you. I don't understand what's going on either. Study it when you have time, but remember, you must not let a third person know about it."

Luo Zheng could only say this to Wang Nian.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Wang Nian returned to his residence. After Luo Zheng confirmed that no one was following him, he walked towards the Martial Proclamation Hall.

Xuanwu Hall was the martial arts hall of the Five Beast Army.

In the Hundred Battles Dynasty, it was the holy land that countless young geniuses yearned for.

It was said that after the War Emperor established the Hundred Battles Dynasty, he established three martial arts halls.

The first was the Battle Emperor's Martial Proclamation Hall in the Forbidden Violet Palace.

The second one was the Five Saints Martial Proclamation Pavilion of the Five Saints Army.

The last one, which was also the lowest level, was the most widely known. It was the Five Beast Army's Martial Proclamation Hall.

This was the dreamland of millions and millions of youths in the Hundred Battles Dynasty, where countless martial arts techniques were stored. Luo Zheng never thought that he would be able to come here for the second time in just two short months.

This feeling was like a dream.

Before he had entered the Five Beasts Army, Luo Zheng would never have thought of this.

"Although everything I have obtained is closely related to my hard work and talent, the Heavenly Sword Formation is where my foundation lies. Without the Heavenly Sword Formation, I might have been able to achieve what I have today, but it would have been thousands of times more difficult."

Luo Zheng's heart was as clear as a mirror. This was also the difference between him and other youths.

He did not belittle himself, nor did he think too highly of himself.

Xuanwu Hall.

Stepping in, Luo Zheng arrived at the top floor. He had been here once before, so he was familiar with the place.

Xuanwu Hall was divided into four levels.

The first level stored Human Tier inferior-grade martial arts, the second level stored Human Tier medial-grade martial arts, and the third level stored Human Tier superior-grade martial arts.

The fourth level stored the most powerful Human Tier martial arts manuals.

Human Tier superior-grade martial arts!

Only the Five Sages Martial Proclamation Library in the Five Sages Army possessed Earth Tier martial arts.

Luo Zheng ascended to the fourth level, took out the wooden token, and handed it to the only instructor guarding the fourth level.

The instructor had white hair and an aged face. His eyes were so cloudy that he could barely open them.

After receiving the wooden token, he squinted his eyes and examined it for a long time. Then, he lifted his head and looked at Luo Zheng. "You are Wu Bing, the one who obtained third place in the Blood Purge assessment?"

"Wu Bing, Luo Zheng, greets the instructor!"

Luo Zheng saluted in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He did not look down on the instructor because of his age. He could feel that the old instructor had an amazing cultivation. He could only sense it by relying on the Sword Master Space's Minute Subtlety Perception.

This old man had concealed his strength deeply. His strength was incomparably tyrannical!

"Yes, go in. You have two hours to choose your martial arts."

After the old instructor finished speaking, he kept the wooden token and did not speak anymore.

Luo Zheng responded and walked into the library.

Human Tier superior-grade martial arts were very few in number compared to the Upper, Middle, and Lower Grade martial arts.

The last time Luo Zheng entered the second level where Human Tier Medial-Grade martial arts were stored, he discovered that there were more than a thousand Medial-Grade martial arts manuals when he chose Lightning Thorn.

However, there were only a few dozen Human Tier superior-grade martial arts manuals.

Meteor Step

Scarlet Sun Palm

Keen Golden Fist

Profound Wave Sword Art

Heavy Mountain Axe Art

...

Luo Zheng flipped through the manuals one by one. Every martial art was extremely powerful. He was fascinated and could not bear to put them down.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Martial arts cultivation needs to be done slowly. Although martial arts are good, not all of them are suitable for me. I still need to find what I need the most."

After a quarter of an hour, Luo Zheng put down the manuals in his hands and began to ponder.

"For sword arts, I have Lightning Thorn. Although it is only Human Tier Medial-Grade, when combined with the Sword Master Space, its power is not inferior to Human Tier Superior-Grade. Furthermore, Lightning Thorn seems to be incomplete. Its true power is definitely not limited to this. As for fist techniques, I have the [Falling Star Fist]. Although this martial art is an absolute art of Prince Rong's Mansion and cannot be easily used, as long as I am careful, it will not be so easily exposed. Therefore, I do not need any fist type martial arts. "

"What I lack the most now is movement martial arts. Although the power of my True Qi is far stronger than martial artists of the same level, the speed at which I explode is also not slow. However, if I encounter someone with a higher cultivation level than me who also cultivates a high level movement skill, it will not be easy to deal with them. This time, Xiao Han died at my hands. Although no one saw it, he disappeared because he was chasing me. Xiao family members will suspect me sooner or later. Zhong Xiong and the other two members of the Xiao family also died at my hands. These can not be considered as unknown. Xiao family and Zhong family are all first-rate families. They may even send experts to deal with me. Therefore, movement martial arts are extremely important to me! "

Luo Zheng's eyes flashed as he constantly pondered over the gains and losses. Finally, he made a decision.

"I'll choose a Human Tier movement technique, a Human Tier movement technique. Coupled with the might of my Qi, my speed will surpass everyone's expectations. Not only will it allow me to escape from danger, it will also greatly increase my battle prowess!"

Thinking in his heart, Luo Zheng immediately locked onto the only two movement martial arts.

"Flying Star Step", when used, can absorb the power of the stars and has the effect of tempering the body. When cultivated to a profound level, it is as if one is stepping on the stars, the speed is astonishing!

"Breaking Wind Movement Skill", as fast as chasing the wind. When cultivated to the Large Success Stage, it will have the speed of breaking wind!

Luo Zheng did not hesitate and chose the Flying Star Step.

Of these two martial arts, one is of the wind attribute and the other is of the power of the stars.

In terms of difficulty, the Flying Star Step is undoubtedly more difficult. Although it is said that the power of the stars is extremely vast and powerful, because the stars are far above the Nine Heavens, they are illusory and very difficult to grasp.

However, the Flying Star Step has a great advantage, which is that it can temper the body.

Previously, because his flesh accidentally absorbed the energy of the Monster Core, Luo Zheng's body has been greatly improved. The strength of his body has increased by several times.

Even though this effect couldn't be seen when Luo Zheng used his zhenqi, it made his body even more stable, allowing him to withstand a powerful impact without injuring his organs or meridians. His defensive prowess was greatly enhanced.

Moreover, Luo Zheng has a vague idea. True Qi is stored in the Qi Sea. Once the Qi Sea is exhausted, even the strongest martial artist will be in danger.

If at this time, he has a strong physical strength, he can give his opponent a great surprise!

This is also one of the reasons why Luo Zheng chose the Flying Star Step.

"Instructor, I choose the Flying Star Step!"

Luo Zheng walked to the front of the elderly instructor and said.

"Oh?"

The old instructor let out a cry of surprise. He raised his eyelids and sized up Luo Zheng, revealing a trace of admiration.

"The Flying Star Step is the most difficult martial arts among the 57 Man-ranked Superior Martial Arts in the Martial Proclamation Library. It is very difficult to display its real combat strength in a short time. However, the tempering of the body is extremely difficult. It can lay a solid foundation for your future martial arts journey. Young man, you have a great vision! "

"However, the key to cultivating the Flying Star Step is whether or not you can sense the power of the stars. This is not easy. Those with high talent can make progress in as short as one month and as long as three years. Without talent, you may not be able to make progress in eight to ten years. It requires a great amount of perseverance. I hope you don't give up."

The old instructor quickly said.

"So difficult?"

Luo Zheng took a breath of cold air, but he had no intention of giving up. He said, "Thank you for your guidance, instructor."

"Okay."

Seeing that Luo Zheng had no intention of backing down, the elderly instructor showed a look of admiration. He pondered for a while and said, "Take this copy of the Flying Star Step. Normally, you have to return it after a month. I will give you an extension of one month. Study it well."

"Thank you, instructor!"

Luo Zheng bowed deeply to express his gratitude and then turned to leave.

After Luo Zheng left, a figure appeared on the fourth floor of the Martial Proclamation Hall. It was an incomparably handsome young general clad in black battle armor. It was the expert who had broken through the limits of the Body Refinement Stage and had flown through the air when the blood refinement test had begun.

"Greetings, Teacher Mu."

The young battle general respectfully bowed to the old instructor.

"Well, this kid is not bad. He is only 14 years old, but his character, willpower, and talent are all superior. He also has some fortuitous encounters. He is a good talent, a genius."

The elderly instructor nodded to him and commented.

"In this blood refining, Luo Zheng seems to have killed a disciple of the Xiao family. The Xiao family regards him as the seed of the future head of the family and taught him the Cold Ice Palm. This matter cannot be concealed. I am afraid..."

The young warrior said.

"Humph, a disciple that can be killed is regarded as the seed of the future head of the family?"

The elderly instructor's eyes shone. "I will warn the Xiao family about this. However, with the Xiao family's character, they will not completely stop. They will most likely take action secretly. This will be a test for him!"

Chapter 55

Heaven Devouring Taotie Formula

The higher his strength, the more Luo Zheng could feel the depth of martial arts, and the more pressure he felt. He knew that he did not have the qualifications to be complacent.

Liu Guanyu, Jin Xingtian, Mu Lan, these people were all geniuses and very strong.

However, Luo Zheng knew that these people were not the strongest in the Hundred Battles Dynasty. There were even more shocking geniuses that he did not have the opportunity to meet.

These people would only stir up his fighting spirit, and he would continue to strive forward, defeating one genius after another, one opponent after another!

Until he reached the peak of martial arts!

Entering the cultivation room, he closed the door.

Luo Zheng opened his palm, and there was a folded piece of paper in his hand. This was something that suddenly appeared in his hand when he bowed to the old instructor.

"This must be a gift from this old mister. I wonder if there is any deeper meaning?"

Opening the paper, there was a chant of a few hundred words. The chant was called Hidden Aura Technique.

Under the chant, there were four words: Not to be spread.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

"I wonder what the instructor meant by this? This chant is very simple, but it is extremely precious. It can control one's aura, making it impossible for others to identify one's cultivation. "

Luo Zheng was puzzled. He carefully read the chant, but he did not find any problems. He just could not understand why this instructor, whom he had never met before, would give him such a great benefit.

Unable to figure it out, Luo Zheng simply tried to circulate the chant. Sure enough, the qi in his body completely calmed down, and his aura was restrained. It was impossible to tell that he was a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist.

"This is good stuff. This chant is extremely effective for hiding one's strength!"

Luo Zheng excitedly thought, "No matter what, I must find a chance to properly thank this instructor in the future."

After being happy for a while, Luo Zheng put the piece of paper filled with the chant into the Qiankun Gourd. Then, he took out the black iron plate he obtained from the ancient tomb, Meteorite Dragon Iron.

Meteorite Dragon Iron was the material used to make the Purple Kun Sword of the Through Heaven 81 Swords.

In the material section of the Through Heaven Record, Meteorite Dragon Iron was one of the rarest materials for refining. It was a top grade material.

It could only be found in some desolate and dangerous places where humans could not reach. Luo Zheng unexpectedly obtained it this time. It could be said that his luck was heaven-defying.

According to the Weapon Refining Scroll, the Purple Kun Sword was even more powerful than the Blue Li Sword.

"As long as I can condense the Purple Kun Sword, I can combine it with the Blue Li Sword to set up the Yin-Yang Astral Slaughtering Formation. Only then will the true power of the Heavenly Sword Formation be revealed. I wonder what level it will reach."

A look of anticipation appeared on Luo Zheng's handsome face, but there was also a faint trace of worry.

The quality of the Meteorite Dragon Iron was far above the Blue Fire Crystal. It would be extremely difficult for the Star Fire Source to refine it.

After thinking for a while, Luo Zheng did not hesitate and took out the Astral Fire Source.

Whoosh!

The yellow-gray flames burned and wrapped around the black iron plate tightly, refining it.

…

"Alas!"

One day later, Luo Zheng retrieved the Stellar Fire Source and let out a long sigh.

In this day, half of the Stellar Fire Source was consumed, but only one-tenth of the black iron plate was refined.

"The quality of the Meteorite Dragon Iron is too high. Even if the Stellar Fire Source is consumed, it is impossible to completely refine it. It seems that if I want to condense the Purple Kun Sword embryo, I need to find a more powerful Fire Source. I originally thought that the difficulty of condensing the 81 Heavenly Swords was to find the materials. It seems that the Fire Source is also a great problem. "

Luo Zheng murmured.

The materials used by the Spirit Sword Heavenly Lord to refine the 81 Heavenly Swords were all heavenly treasures of extremely high quality. Many of the materials were even far above the Meteorite Dragon Iron. If he wanted to condense the sword, without a high-grade Fire Source, it was absolutely impossible.

"The Stellar Fire Source is already a third-grade Fire Source, but if I want to refine the Meteorite Dragon Iron, I am afraid that I need at least a fourth-grade Fire Source."

The Fire Source was an extremely rare thing. After the Wang family of Green Rock City obtained the Stellar Fire Source, it had been passed down for hundreds of years as a family treasure. From this, one could see its preciousness.

If he wanted to obtain a Fire Source of a higher grade than the Stellar Fire Source, the difficulty was unimaginable.

Luo Zheng's mind spun rapidly as he pondered and calculated.

"Like Little Moon's Cold Lotus Fire Source, it should be barely able to refine the Meteorite Dragon Iron. However, for King Rong to obtain the Cold Lotus Fire Source, I am afraid that he also spent a lot of effort. King Rong is one of the three Kings of the Hundred Battles Dynasty. His power and influence can reach the heavens. I am just a small pawn with no power and influence. If I want to obtain the Fire Source of the Cold Lotus Fire Source, it will be too difficult. "

Luo Zheng at this time understood the importance of power and influence.

The more powerful a martial artist's cultivation was, the more resources he needed to continuously improve his cultivation. If he was alone, he would need to spend a lot of time to earn cultivation resources. Naturally, the improvement of his cultivation would be much slower.

This was also the advantage of being backed by a big family. Once he was valued by the family, or became the hope of the family, the entire family's resources would all be tilted towards him. He could cultivate without any distractions, and his cultivation would naturally advance by leaps and bounds.

This was also the reason why the rich and powerful families had a steady stream of talents. The strong would surpass the strong, and the weak would remain weak.

The strength of the family determined the starting line of the family's juniors.

Perhaps at the beginning, the number of pills required wouldn't be too great. But as one's cultivation increased, that difference would become increasingly obvious.

For example, Luo Zheng had reached the peak of the Blood Tempering realm. If he wanted to break through to the Marrow Transformation realm, the number of pills he would need was far greater than what he had needed in the Film Forging realm.

Luo Zheng had used a total of two hundred Blood Nourishing Pills to reach the peak of the Film Forging realm.

And if he wanted to break through to the Marrow Transformation realm, he would need to refine his blood like mercury!

The so-called refining blood like mercury was to raise the quality and density of the blood in the body to the extreme, causing the blood to condense into mercury paste. The number of pills required for this process was extremely terrifying.

A normal second rate family would find it difficult to support two or three juniors in the Blood Tempering realm. But for a first rate family, this was an easy task.

"With the Heavenspan Sword Formation, the speed at which I refine pills is a hundred times faster than others. Compared to a heaven-shaking genius like Liu Guanyu, I'm dozens of times faster. Furthermore, the energy of the pills refined by the Heavenspan Sword Formation is even purer and the True Qi produced is even more powerful. But because of this, the number of pills I need is much higher than others. If I want to refine my blood like mercury, I'll need at least a thousand Blood Nourishing Pills. "

After calculating the approximate number, Luo Zheng's jaw dropped. This number was extremely frightening, and it was the most conservative estimate.

If it was two months ago, he wouldn't even have dared to think about it. A thousand Blood Nourishing Pills would be worth at least three million gold.

Even though Luo Zheng had obtained quite a bit from the blood refinement trial, and adding on the pills and gold he had stolen from Zhao Feng, he still needed two thirds of the Blood Nourishing Pills.

He still needed two million gold!

Luo Zheng could not help smiling bitterly. Others were vexed because the speed of refining medicinal pills was too slow, but he was vexed because the speed of refining medicinal pills was too fast, and the supply of medicinal pills could not meet the demand.

Of course, others couldn't catch up to his cultivation speed.

"Last time, Elder Jia from the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion said that after the Tiger Piercing Blade was auctioned, the remaining gold would be given to me."

Luo Zheng pondered, "If I didn't obtain the method to refine weapons, I'm afraid that the pills and resources I need for cultivation would be a huge problem. But now, all of these can be exchanged for through refining weapons."

"Right, in this world, power and money can't be separated. Although I don't have King Rong's monstrous power, I can refine weapons. As long as I have a large amount of money, I can even refine weapons to exchange for fire sources or information about fire sources!"

With a flash of inspiration, Luo Zheng suddenly had an idea.

Ordinary blacksmiths could only refine about two weapons in a month, but Luo Zheng's Mental Refinement Technique was an unparalleled weapon refining technique. The speed at which he could refine weapons was incomparable to that of other blacksmiths. As long as he had the right materials, he could refine 10 weapons in a month.

"There are still nearly two months before the winter break. In other words, I will only be able to leave the Five Beast Army camp in two months. The elixirs I have now can only support me for three days at most. If I stay in the camp, I will not be able to obtain materials for refining weapons. My cultivation will not be able to progress smoothly. It looks like I have to think of a way to leave the camp. Besides the winter break, the only way to leave the camp is to go out on a training mission. "

Soon, Luo Zheng thought of a way to leave the camp. After making up his mind, he stopped thinking about anything else and took out the secret manual for the Flying Star Steps to study.

Five days later, Luo Zheng pushed open the door of the cultivation room and walked out.

"Didn't the old instructor say that it was difficult to sense the power of the stars? Was he trying to scare me? "

Luo Zheng muttered softly. Previously, he had heard that cultivating the Flying Star Steps required three months to sense the power of the stars, even if one was extremely talented. Without talent, one would not be able to succeed even after eight to ten years. He had been a little worried.

He had not expected that he would be able to sense the power of the stars after only one day of cultivation. Although he had not cultivated the Flying Star Steps to an astonishing level, he was close to initial success.

"It looks like my talent is too strong."

Luo Zheng smiled and concluded. Then, he went to Wang Nian's residence.

Wasn't this fatty working hard to improve himself? Why did he revert to his old ways after a few days? Now, he was not cultivating but sleeping!

Luo Zheng shook his head. After much difficulty, he woke Wang Nian up and told him that he was going to accept some training missions from the Five Beast Army.

Wang Nian was in a daze and was about to fall asleep. "To accept training missions, one has to at least be an elite martial soldier."

"Mm, I know that. Are you okay?"

Luo Zheng looked at Wang Nian worriedly. Martial artists were full of energy. Even if they did not sleep for three days and three nights, they would not feel tired. Wang Nian's state was not normal.

"Recently, I have been trying to cultivate the Heaven Swallowing Taotie Technique. These two days, my appetite suddenly increased greatly. After eating, I feel sleepy. I don't know what happened."

Wang Nian muttered.
