Chapter 41 It's quite real
"This, I am no longer far away from the ninth level."
Zhou Heng smiled and said.
He didn't show off and directly explained the situation to Lin Cang.
This is not something worth hiding.
In fact, the distance should be negative.
"It's okay. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is still hope to reach the ninth level before the age of twenty." Lin Cang didn't react for a while, thinking that what Zhou Heng said was that he was far away from the ninth level.
But he quickly came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Cheng in disbelief, "You, what did you just say? You, you are already at the ninth level!?"
He almost shouted these words, he was extremely shocked.
As soon as these words came out, the entire martial arts hall became silent and dead.
The fifty or sixty apprentices and a dozen instructors present all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Zhou Heng.
What did they hear just now?
Zhou Heng is in the ninth level! ?
Ninth level of martial arts! ?
Didn't he only join the martial arts gym for two years?
Wow!
A group of people all gathered around Zhou Heng, as if they were watching some rare creature.
"Ninth grade! Zhou Heng, are you really ninth grade?"
"Oh my god, how old are you? How come you're only in the ninth grade?"
"It's so awesome!"
"Seventeen-year-old Ninth Grade, are we going to have a hero in Longxing!?"
"Take me, boss!"
Everyone was talking to each other, looking at Zhou Heng with envy, jealousy, shock, and admiration in their eyes.
Seventeen-year-old Ninth Grade!
This was really shocking to them.
Longxing is not a big martial arts school.
Most of the disciples recruited come from ordinary families.
Yu He's situation is a special one.
Even the "site" is only a venue that covers an area of less than two acres.
Therefore, the level of “students” is generally not high.
Most apprentices can only enter the ninth level when they are in their forties.
This age has exceeded the upper limit of the Changxing Sect's recruitment of disciples, so naturally it is impossible to learn advanced martial arts in the sect.
If you want to continue practicing in the martial arts hall, you must stay as a teacher. This will inevitably distract your energy and make it more difficult to improve your martial arts.
Therefore, there are also people who, after reaching the ninth level, will venture into the world of martial arts in the hope that they will gain some adventure and go further.
It would be very rare to be able to enter the ninth level in one's thirties.
The martial arts school will unconditionally teach him higher-level martial arts.
As for the nine-year-olds in their twenties, in the more than seventy years since the museum opened, there has been only one person who appeared fifty years ago, and that is the current old owner.
And the 9th grade, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, is even ranked among the most outstanding people——
Such a person can definitely be regarded as an outstanding disciple even among the major martial arts sects in the world.
It is almost impossible to appear in the small Longxing martial arts gym.
If people from the Changxing sect knew that a seventeen-year-old ninth-grade man had appeared in the Longxing Martial Arts Hall, they would definitely pay great attention to it, and it would be safe to enter the outer gate.
If you are lucky enough to be appreciated by an expert, you might be able to directly become an inner disciple of the Changxing Sect and receive the true secret of a sixth-grade master!
This is really going to soar into the sky and reach thousands of miles!
"Be quiet, be quiet." Lin Cang raised his hand and pressed it. He seemed to have thought of something. The joy on his face gradually faded, and his expression became serious. He said to Zhou Heng, "Xiao Zhou, come with me. "
After saying that, he walked to the coaching practice room at the back.
Zhou Heng nodded and followed.
People in the martial arts hall were still sighing at Zhou Heng's genius.
Seventeen-year-old Ninth Grade!
Too little!
However, some people noticed that something was wrong with Lin Cang's expression just now, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
…
The martial arts gym has an independent practice room for teaching.
No one will disturb you inside.
At this time, Zhou Heng and Lin Cang were face to face. They were the only two people here.
Lin Cang looked at Zhou Heng with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zhou, tell me the truth, are you taking drugs?"
"Ah? Taking drugs?" Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized what Lin Cang was asking, and nodded: "Well, I took a tiger bone refining pill to replenish the body's energy and blood. What does Master Lin have?" Problem?"
This was not something taboo, so he said it openly.
After all, it is actually very common to take pills to assist cultivation in the lower third level.
Because this stage is mainly about cultivating the body's Qi and blood, even the internal Qi is transformed from the power of Qi and blood, which is the so-called "refining Qi".
And where does "essence" come from?
This requires the body to absorb the nutrients in the food and transform them.
Because of this, people who practice martial arts usually eat a lot, and some warriors can even eat an ox a day.
Ultimately, this is because the fresh fruits and vegetables that people usually eat are not very nutritious, so they need to consume a large amount of them in order to convert enough "essence".
If you take pills that are concentrated in the essence of spiritual creatures, or eat some food made from the blood, flesh and bone marrow of strong beasts, you can greatly supplement your nutrition and speed up your own cultivation.
Zhou Heng took the Tiger Bone Lianxing Pill, which was actually equivalent to absorbing a lot of nutrients in a convenient way.
There is no harm in nature, so naturally it will not be banned.
"Tiger bone refining pill?" Lin Cang was slightly relieved after hearing Zhou Heng's explanation, but was extremely shocked, "How can you afford this kind of pill? This, this thing costs at least a thousand taels. It is said that If it’s top quality, it’s even worth more than five thousand taels.”
He has completely understood why Zhou Heng reached the ninth level so quickly.
Because, from the stage of not entering the ninth level to the ninth level, it is essentially a process of allowing Qi and blood to absorb nutrients and catalytic power through standing.
As long as you have adequate nutrition, have the money and the means to buy good tonics, and work hard, it is not particularly difficult to enter the ninth level.
In fact, the real reason why the martial artists of Longxing Martial Arts School are slow to practice and have to reach the ninth level in their thirties or even forties is that the apprentices here are generally poor.
The family income of most apprentices is generally only about one hundred taels of silver a year. After deducting normal food and clothing expenses and tuition fees, it is difficult to have a net income of forty or fifty taels.
If you can eat one meal of meat every three or four days on weekdays, you are considered a well-off family.
I simply can’t afford any good nutritious food.
Moreover, most of the people who practice martial arts in such families only want to have a certain skill, be able to look after people's homes and nursing homes, and have a profitable career. Therefore, many people cannot wait until they are thirty or forty years old to learn seven martial arts moves. When they are old enough, they will leave and go make money.
Tiger Bone Lianxing Pills, which cost as little as one thousand taels per pill and as many as five thousand taels per pill, are sky-high prices for most people in the Longxing Martial Arts School.
It’s so expensive!
Zhou Heng ate a tiger bone refining pill, which replenished a large amount of nutrients. At the same time, he used Zhuang Gong to catalyze his strength, so he could naturally reach the ninth level quickly.
This is all made with money!
But the most important thing is that compared with the ninth rank that I have accumulated through hard work and eating meat and vegetables little by little, the ninth rank that I "smashed" in this way has no disadvantage, but actually has more advantages.
Thanks to the nutritional value of "tonics" that are much stronger than those of normal grains, vegetables, fruits and meats, such ninth-level warriors' qi and blood are thicker, stronger, and stronger, and it will be easier to transform their internal qi in the future.
Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts is nothing more than this.
Quite real.
"It was given to me by Liu Changsheng of the Five Elements Sect." Zhou Heng briefly told what happened before, and by the way mentioned that treating Yu He also requires ninth-grade internal energy.
"I see." Lin Cang suddenly realized and sighed helplessly: "Actually, taking medicine to assist in cultivation is not a big deal, but the problem is that you have to take part in the Changxing Sect's assessment to select outer disciples."
"Changxingmen specifically prohibits taking medicine for cultivation? That shouldn't be the case." Zhou Heng said doubtfully: "This is unreasonable."
As long as it is not the kind of elixir that improves cultivation in the short term at the expense of damaging the foundation, it should be a reasonable auxiliary drug for cultivation.
This is equivalent to nutritional supplements.
Completely prohibiting people from taking medicine to practice is no different from prohibiting people from eating meat while practicing martial arts.
"It's not that it's forbidden to take medicine to practice." Lin Cang shook his head and said, "It's that we will test the apprentices who have recently made a big breakthrough and still take medicine to practice."
"This is to prevent apprentices and martial arts schools from using elixirs that can increase their cultivation level in a short period of time at the expense of damaging their foundation?" Zhou Heng guessed.
"That's right." Lin Cang nodded and said solemnly: "The one who came to our Huangtong Mansion for the selection test this time is the true disciple of the Changxing Sect's law enforcement elder, Kong Chengshun, who is ranked ninety-ninth on the list of people.
"He is already at the eighth level of martial arts at the age of twenty-three. He is a highly regarded genius in the Changxing Sect. Like his master, he is selfless and hates people who take advantage of the rules.
"You have reached the ninth level of martial arts. Normally, you can skip the assessment and directly obtain the status of an outer disciple of the Changxing Sect. But now that you have taken medicine, you need to accept Kong Chengshun's test."
"How to test?" Zhou Heng was a little curious.
"Martial arts competition." Lin Cang spoke concisely and said: "As for the specific rules, I'm afraid we have to wait for Kong Chengshun to come down in person."
"A martial arts competition?" Zhou Heng smiled when he heard this and said, "This is good, simple and direct."
An eighth-level martial artist.
An eighth-level martial artist who uses a sword.
Um.
This is really good! !
"Hey, you kid, do you think you'll be great if you step into the ninth level? That's the true successor of a martial arts master, a disciple of a sixth-level master, and a hero on the list!"
Seeing Zhou Heng's confident look, Lin Cang suddenly became angry. He was still worried about this kid's future, but he actually looked like he wasn't taking it seriously.
"Come on, let's continue what we said before. Let's try it out and let me see how strong you are after entering the ninth level."
This kid needs to be taught a lesson!
Don't let him be complacent. It's a good thing for young people to be energetic, but they can't be too arrogant!
So, Lin Cang took down a long sword from the weapons rack next to him.
…
"Lin Cang is using the martial arts "Thousands of Mountains and Mountains Sword Art" [ninth grade] to attack you. You successfully parried. Your proficiency in "Thousands of Mountains and Mountains Sword Art" +0.05."
"You use 1 distributable martial arts point proficiency [ninth grade] to improve the proficiency of the martial arts "Thousands of Mountains and Mountains Sword Technique" [ninth grade]."
"Congratulations! Your proficiency in the martial arts "Thousands of Mountains and Mountains Sword Technique" [Ninth Grade] has reached 1. Since you have learned a higher grade sword technique and have perfect sword techniques of the same grade, the martial arts proficiency is +3000 ”
"Congratulations! Your proficiency in the martial arts "Thousand Mountains and Layers Sword Technique" [9th level] has reached advanced level, and your understanding of the martial arts "Dugu Nine Swords: Sword Breaking Style" [8th level] has deepened, proficiency +200."
"Congratulations! You defeated the vulnerable opponent Lin Cang, and you are rewarded with a lucky bag [copper] +1."
...
Lin Cang is somewhat skeptical about life.
He looked at the sword in his hand, and then looked at Zhou Heng who was empty-handed, and asked in amazement: "When did you learn the Thousand Mountains and Layers Sword Technique?"
