At that time, Luo Hua was very self-conscious because of his lower body disability, so he did something foolish for a while, but immediately regretted it afterward. Both Luo’s parents and even Luo Feng himself personally visited Xu Zong to express their gratitude.
Through this, the two families became acquainted. When Xu Zong found out that Luo Hua lived alone, he was invited to dinner at Luo’s house. However, due to the rule that only warriors and their families were allowed into Mingyue Community, their relationship did not develop any further. Nevertheless, Xu Zong consciously maintained this connection, especially his good relationship with Luo Hua.
In his previous life, Xu Zong was a headhunter and was very skilled in handling interpersonal relationships. In short, he was very smooth and knew how to read people and the atmosphere, knowing when and what to say to whom. Coupled with the fact that he saved Luo Hua’s life and Luo Hua was a person who valued emotions, the two quickly became good friends.
After joining the Extreme Martial Arts School, the next step was to wait for the warrior assessment. There was no problem with the physical fitness assessment, but according to the instructor, the practical assessment was very dangerous. Xu Zong did not dare to be careless and specially bought an unsharpened spear from the warrior market to practice his spear technique.
After sharing Xu Zong’s skill “Shape and Intent Five Elements Spear Follows” from the Nine Cauldrons, he immediately learned this set of spear techniques. All of his experience and memories had appeared in his mind. As long as he practiced enough, he could form muscle memory and thoroughly learn it.
“In the Shape and Intent Five Elements Fist, Teng Qingshan transformed the Wood Element Fist into spear technique, thus obtaining this set of Shadow Follows spear technique. Essentially, this is a set of Bounce Spear! Just like its name, once it is used, it really follows like a shadow, unfathomable!”
In the training room, Xu Zong was practicing the Shadow Follows spear technique. From the initial stiffness to swinging it with great vigor, it took less than half an hour! His progress was frighteningly fast!
Suddenly–
Xu Zong from the Nine Cauldrons: “Hahaha! I finally broke through to the Grandmaster realm! Oh my god, it’s so cool to practice without bottlenecks! The bottleneck that blocked me for a year was finally broken today!”
Xu Zong from Swallowed Star: “You’re disturbing me again!”
Xu Zong from the Nine Cauldrons: “Oh, sorry, I got excited for a moment and couldn’t control my emotions. Actually, you can turn on the ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode. As long as you turn on this mode, unless a new person enters the group or is @, there won’t be any sound in your mind.”
Xu Zong from Swallowed Star: “Is that so? Let me try!”
Xu Zong from the Nine Cauldrons: “How is it? Does it work?”Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “…”
Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “How is it? Useful? @Swallowed Star Xu Zong”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Really useful, I’ve been in this group for so many days and it’s the first time I’ve heard of this kind of operation!”
Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Normal, when you played FGO, didn’t it take you six years to know that you can move the task completion prompt?”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “You convinced me all at once! That damn game, it didn’t even shut down until I crossed over, I didn’t even know which boss was in Chapter Two!”
Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Don’t worry, in the future, you might be able to directly ask Type-Moon Xu Zong.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Makes sense!”
Xu Zong in the training room suddenly realized.
It does make sense! Even if this is a fantasy chat group, who can guarantee that there won’t be other types of Xu Zong joining in?
Xu Zongs from the anime world, movie world, and martial arts world are all welcome!
Rather, a chat group with only two people is too small!
Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Forget about that, click on my avatar and you can share the master-level Xingyi Wuxing Quan!”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Applied!”
Hearing him say that, Xu Zong acted quickly, and in a short while, a new memory rushed into his mind.
However, this memory only covered a small part, which was about breaking through to the master realm by opening up the last facial meridian from the peak of inner power.
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “In these days of cultivation, I vaguely discovered something. It seems that there is no concept of meridians in the Swallowed Star world. All the energy absorbed into the body is used to strengthen the physical body, and I haven’t found any meridians, nor do I have the feeling of opening them.”
Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Is that so? It’s probably because the cultivation systems in each world are different… However, it’s enough to use it to strengthen the body, after all, in the Swallowed Star world, the only way to strengthen cells and genes is to strengthen the body.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “So your new memory is useless.”
Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Okay, then I have to get some new wool from my cousin!”
……
The world of The Nine Cauldrons.
Since Emperor Yu unified the world and established the Nine Cauldrons, more than six thousand years have passed like a fleeting moment.
Yangzhou is one of the nine continents in the world, located in the southeast corner of the continent. It has always been the most prosperous place in the continent, and Yangzhou salt merchants are famous for being wealthy.
In the territory of Yangzhou, there is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of kilometers, called Dayan Mountain.
In this Dayan Mountain, there are not only a large number of forests and dangerous places, but also many unnamed beasts and dozens of villages of different sizes.
Teng Family Village is one of them.With a population of two thousand people, Teng Family Village was one of the largest villages in the Dayan Mountains, and the area surrounding the village was enclosed by wooden stakes that were one person high, covering a vast area.
“Swish!”
Xu Zong, the owner of the Nine Cauldrons, stepped lightly and nimbly like a swimming dragon, and he moved so freely in the wind like a fish.
His figure was so fast that he left a trail of afterimages in the air, and all that could be heard was the sound of the wind passing by his ears, and his figure disappeared from view.
“Hey! Ha!”
Under the morning sun, the young men of Teng Family Village were gathering in the martial arts field in front of the village. Children between the ages of five and six were practicing boxing, while those over ten years old were practicing with big spears.
There were also some people who were practicing tiger boxing while crawling on the ground.
Xu Zong lightly jumped into the field, landing without making a sound. He turned around and shot towards the wall at the edge of the field at lightning speed.
“Ah Hu! You didn’t go through the main entrance again!”
In the martial arts field, a rough-looking man with a full beard noticed this scene and laughed loudly.
“I’ll do it next time!”
Xu Zong shouted back and jumped over the wall instead of going through the main entrance.
Three kilometers south of Teng Family Village, there was a twin-headed mountain covered with trees. On a flat piece of ground, a large tree had been cut down by humans, leaving a bare patch of ground.
On that patch of ground, a teenager who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old was holding a steel spear. His footsteps were so fast that he left behind a trail of afterimages, and his spear was spinning like a windmill, with no gaps and vigorous energy!
Suddenly, his spear changed from a defensive stance to an offensive one, and the force on the spear naturally turned into a spiral force. The tip of the spear seemed to turn into an electric drill, and it pierced out fiercely!
“Crack!”
A tree that was as thick as two people hugging each other fell down.
“That’s not right.”
Although this spear was powerful, the teenager’s face showed dissatisfaction.
“Why can’t I master the spiral force of this ‘Poisonous Dragon Drill’? What’s the reason?”
If he could master this spiral force, he should be able to directly pierce through the tree, not just blow it up.
“Qing Shan! Qing Shan!”
Just as the teenager was frowning and thinking hard, a cheerful shout suddenly came.
“Is it my cousin?”
The teenager raised his eyebrows and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This patch of ground was built by the two of them together, and it was their secret place for practicing. Even the elders in the village knew little about it.
Soon, a young man wearing animal skins and coarse cloth appeared in front of the teenager like a swimming fish, passing through the forest outside the open space.
This young man was the protagonist of the Nine Cauldrons world – Teng Qingshan!Xu Zong was the cousin of the protagonist in The Nine Cauldrons.
Although they were cousins, their relationship was more like that of a master and disciple!
The reason why Xu Zong had achieved so much in The Nine Cauldrons was mainly due to his teacher, Teng Qingshan. Among the people Xu Zong respected the most in his life, Teng Qingshan was definitely one of them!
“Cousin, didn’t you say you were going to seclude yourself and practice hard, trying to break through to the Realm of Grandmaster in one fell swoop? How come you came out after only seven days?”
Teng Qingshan went up to greet him and asked with a faint smile.
“Hehe! Qingshan, watch this!”
Xu Zong walked forward with a proud smile.
Then his aura changed, and the bones of his whole body crackled like thunder. Visibly, his height shrank by three centimeters, and his body suddenly became much thinner!
“Is this… perfect control over every muscle, bone, and fascia in your body? Cousin, have you already stepped into the Realm of Grandmaster?”
Teng Qingshan’s eyes widened slightly, and he said incredulously.
“It’s just a fluke!”
Xu Zong said it was a fluke, but his face was full of pride.
Originally, according to Teng Qingshan, he would have to be stuck at the peak of Inner Power for at least one or two years. However, after sharing the talent of “no bottleneck in cultivation,” he suddenly grasped the key point of the previously elusive ‘opening up the facial meridians.’ It only took him seven days to successfully open up all the meridians in his body and step into the Realm of Grandmaster!
“Hey!”
Xu Zong went to the side and lifted a huge stone with a diameter of more than two meters with just one arm!
“This huge stone weighs about 50,000 jin. It seems that your single arm has a strength of 50,000 jin, and your two arms together have a strength of 100,000 jin!”
Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but admire.
From 80,000 jin to 100,000 jin in one breath, this was the change brought about by being able to control every muscle and bone in the body!
In his previous life, in a world without spiritual power like Earth, even a cultivator with good qualifications had to be over thirty years old to reach the Realm of Grandmaster due to the large amount of time needed to accumulate essence and energy!
Cousin’s talent in Internal Martial Arts was obviously quite high. In a world with rich spiritual energy, he became a Grandmaster at the age of twenty, not inferior to the geniuses on Earth in his previous life!
“Qingshan, what good things did our master leave behind? Bring them out quickly!”
Xu Zong urged with shining eyes.
