The feeling of the force entering the blood and marrow is very strange. If I must describe it in words, it is as if my bones are hollowed out by insects, and then countless ants crawl around inside, sore, itchy, painful, and numb! At the beginning, I can bear it completely, but after a long time, I want to take the bones apart and smash them with a hammer. Only then can I be relieved! And this process is undoubtedly a great test for the Chongjing warriors. Zhang Yuan had a certain understanding of Huajin in advance, and even read the martial arts notes of his predecessors. But what he heard and saw was completely different from the actual experience! No matter how strong and hard his skin, flesh, tendons and bones were, he could not be exempted from this kind of pain that penetrated into his soul. He even had the idea of giving up! However, such a thought did not even last for a breath in Zhang Yuan's mind.
The strong will brought by two lives allowed him to resist this torture that made people want to die. Crystal sweat continued to ooze out of Zhang Yuan's skin, accompanied by a little dirt. His muscles continued to swell and twist, and the blood in his body was churning violently. He continuously released strong strength to cleanse his bones and marrow! As time went by, Zhang Yuan drank a large gourd of water. His strength had completely penetrated into his blood and marrow, and spread to his internal organs. His heart beat twice as fast, and his stomach and intestines made a thunderous sound. At this point, the power of the blood and qi pill he had taken before had been exhausted. But Zhang Yuan felt that it was still a little short. It was as if there was an invisible film in his body, and he could penetrate it with just one more finger! He took the second blood and qi pill without any hesitation. Boom! When the power of the blood and qi pill spread, Zhang Yuan felt like he had suddenly pushed down a wall, and the qi in his body instantly sank into his internal organs and limbs. That invisible membrane was broken with one blow! The transformation of strength was successful! ! He suddenly opened his eyes, and the bones in his body burst. Two hundred and six sounds were heard in succession. The last sound came from the top of the skull. It was to open the gate of heaven! Once the gate of heaven was opened, the Qi and energy came naturally. At this moment, Zhang Yuan had already entered the threshold of the third level.
[Host: Zhang Yuan] [Realm: Third level (Hua Jin)] [God's Nest: Level 3 (1%)] [Parent: Level 3 Black Giant Ant (1%)/8 times strength] [Parent: Level 4 Jade Mantis (1%)/Primary Sword Skills] [Parent: Level 3 Golden Grasshopper (1%)/8 times Agility] [Parent: Level 3 White Dragon Loach (92%)/Advanced Water Mastery] [Parent: Level 1 Red Eyed Crow (1%)/Primary Spirit] [Qi and Blood: 76/385] [Source Quality: 0] After breaking through the third level, his Qi and Blood value limit actually soared by more than 100 points, approaching 400 points! This means that Zhang Yuan can bless the extraordinary ability of the host for a longer time, and his combat power will naturally be greatly improved. And Zhang Yuan's own strength will inevitably increase dramatically due to the upgrade. How strong the combination of the two is, he dare not easily speculate now, and needs to verify it in actual combat. Zhang Yuan's joy at this moment cannot be described in words. He adjusted his own breath and restored his blood value to more than 300 points with the help of the power of the blood and qi pill. Then he put on his clothes and left the upgrade room. Although Zhang Yuan didn't know how long he had been in seclusion here, since no one disturbed him, it must have been no more than five days. "Master Zhang Xiang." An inner hall disciple who was guarding the door of the secret room saw Zhang Yuan coming out and immediately saluted and said, "Are you out of seclusion?" He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and his eyes widened immediately, blurting out: "Third level!" The shock of this inner hall disciple was not without reason. He himself was already in his twenties and almost thirty years old, and he was still only a second-level dark energy cultivator. But Zhang Yuan is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he has not been in the gang for long, barely out of the category of newcomers. Now he is not only the incense master of the war hall, but also stepped into the level of Huajin in one fell swoop. It's really annoying to compare yourself with others! Because he was too shocked, the inner hall disciple completely ignored the hierarchy. Quite out of control. Zhang Yuan didn't care and smiled, "Lucky."
The inner hall disciple came back to his senses, and his face flushed. He bowed and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, incense master Zhang, I'm rude." "It's okay." Zhang Yuan waved his hand and asked: "Excuse me, how long have I been in seclusion this time?" The inner hall disciple answered truthfully: "Three days and five hours." The Shengjing Room is an important place, they take turns to guard, so they know the time very well. Three days? To be honest, Zhang Yuan didn't feel anything in the Shengjing Room before. "Thank you for your hard work." He said, and then returned to the ground. The inner hall disciple was stunned for a long time, and finally laughed bitterly at himself. The first thing Zhang Yuan did after coming out of retreat was to report to Yue Wuji at the Battle Hall. As it turned out, the hall master was not in the hall. Despite this, the news that Zhang Yuan had broken through to the third level still spread throughout the entire branch like wings. It immediately caused quite a stir! Seventeen or eighteen-year-old Huajin masters, let alone in the Linhe branch, even if they were taken to the Nanxun branch, few could compare with Zhang Yuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best of the young generation. That is, the core layer of the big sects and big forces, those geniuses who have been carefully cultivated since childhood. Only then can they compete with each other! The next day, Yue Wuji, who returned to Whale Castle, summoned Zhang Yuan. Also present were the Supreme Elder Liao Yongan, and two fourth-level strongmen gave encouragement and praise together. If it weren't for the fact that the helmsman Wei Changfeng was in seclusion, he would have praised him in person. And the top leaders of the Linhe Branch did not just talk verbally, but also took out very practical rewards. A third-level Huajin master is already qualified to serve as a deputy hall master or even a hall master or elder. It's just that Zhang Yuan's qualifications are too shallow, so promotion is not possible for the time being. But he will receive a high subsidy of 100 taels of silver every month in the future, and he will also be given some privileges that only high-level people have. For example, temporarily calling merchant ships or warships under the branch, etc. In addition, Zhang Yuan owns 10% of a large merchant ship under the Linhe Branch.
In this way, he can receive a dividend every year. This is another few hundred taels of income! Zhang Yuan was secretly shocked by the wealth of the Whale Gang. No wonder the Tiger Gang and the four major families have always had ill intentions towards the Linhe Branch - there is too much money! Of course, this is a good thing for Zhang Yuan, after all, no one would dislike money. And Zhang Yuan's practice of "Rock Pillar" is particularly expensive. Entering the third level, he became a member of the upper echelons of the branch, and got shares and rewards. For a time, Zhang Yuan was the most popular in the Whale Castle. Everyone greeted him with a smile! Even the disciples who entered the battle hall with him in the past were respectful to him. They dared not be negligent or rude. Zhang Yuan became the well-deserved number one among the younger generation of the Linhe Branch!
