A voice like a silver bell came.
The reason is that after Zhou Ying'er returns to the clan, she may enter the "Zang Refining Period", and almost all of the family's huge resources will be tilted towards her.
Although Father Zhou didn't elaborate, Zhou Xing could guess the general reason.
For almost three years after he entered the sect, the family had no real resources to help him except a little gold and silver and other worldly possessions.
Although the Zhou family is a secular family, it is still one of the three major families in Xiangyang City.
As a wealthy family here, they can somewhat control some of the "extraordinary resources" of the sect world, such as second-grade Yuan stones, some spiritual treasures, etc.
But.
Zhou Xing received almost no support in this regard.
So, where are all the extraordinary resources used?
The answer is no need to think too much.
Zhou Ying'er, this family-oriented girl with spiritual qualifications, worships under the sect elders, is only fourteen years old and is in the late stage of Tongmai... she has too much aura!
As if, she is already the "proud daughter of heaven" of the Zhou family.
"I'll make do with the ordinary body-tempering liquid for now. Anyway, my current body-tempering level is not high."
Zhou Xing took the medicine and comforted his father.
Zhou's father failed to get a good body-tempering prescription for his son. Apart from being angry, he felt even more ashamed.
After getting the medicinal materials for the "civilians' prescription", Zhou Xing immediately went back to his room, simply mixed and ground them into a pile of medicinal powder.
This pile of medicinal powder, when mixed into hot water during bathing, becomes the body-tempering medicinal liquid.
However.
Before Zhou Xing could prepare the "body tempering liquid", an uninvited guest broke in.
"My cheap cousin, get out of here quickly!"
A rude and unruly female voice came from outside the door.
The person who came was naturally Zhou Ying'er.
Zhou Ying'er is wearing a black warrior uniform, with a beautiful face and a straight and upright posture, which makes her look somewhat heroic.
"Yinger, what do you mean?"
Zhou Xing walked out slowly, without saying angrily.
This woman had taken away all the resources and was so coquettish, so Zhou Xing naturally felt unhappy.
"Hmph! You're so embarrassed."
Zhou Ying'er's eyes widened and she looked angry: "Father said, let me give you guidance on your practice when I have time."
"So what."
Zhou Xing felt baffled.
"But - you, your incompetent cousin, don't even take the initiative to ask for advice! Do you know that the guardians and elders in the clan are all asking me for advice humbly, but I am too lazy to pay attention to it."
Zhou Ying'er's voice was like falling to the ground, and Zhou Xing was stunned for a while.
Take the initiative...ask for advice?
Zhou Xing finally understood and rolled his eyes.
This little cousin is indeed a proud daughter of heaven. She is held in the palm of the hand by the whole family and is so supported.
If you don't take the initiative to seek advice, you will still be criticized.
Perhaps, the uncle of the family head had good intentions and wanted Zhou Ying'er, an inner disciple, to teach him some experience.
"Okay, how are you going to teach me."
Zhou Xing was free and had a smile on his face; he was about to blurt out the words "I didn't ask you to give me advice", but he was temporarily withdrawn.
suddenly.
He really wanted to understand the strength of Zhou Ying'er, an elder and a disciple, and he also wanted to know about the Shuiyue Sect.
There are four major sect inheritances in Chu State, Yunyue Sect and Shuiyue Sect are one of them.
Zhou Xing had heard before that Shuiyue Sect’s martial arts inheritance was unique, and the majority of its disciples were female.
"It's very simple."
When Zhou Ying'er talked about "advice", her smug look faded away, and she said Zhengran: "I have suppressed my cultivation to the same early stage of channel connection as you; while we are discussing, I will point out your shortcomings."
Seeing this woman's serious look, Zhou Xing felt a little guilty.
Maybe, this woman is here to give advice sincerely.
Fortunately, the words "I didn't ask you to teach me" were not uttered. Otherwise, it is difficult to predict how this proud daughter of heaven will get angry, and she may even alarm the entire family.
"Well."
Zhou Xing nodded simply.
After the two of them finished speaking, they moved to a martial arts field within the clan.
The Zhou family's servants responded extremely quickly, and the news of the two's discussion quickly spread to the family's top brass.
As a result, when the two of them arrived at the martial arts arena, some clan elders were already present nearby.
Most of the people, including the head of the family, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, had arrived, and they all looked at the two people in the martial arts arena with interest.
The two people on the martial arts field had very different expressions.
Zhou Ying'er put her hands behind her hands, looking old-fashioned and setting a good example for others.
Zhou Xing, on the other hand, looked calm and relaxed, almost smiling but not smiling.
"It's starting. You strike first and use your strongest attack to attack me as much as you want."
Zhou Yinger said impatiently.
"Be careful."
Zhou Xing took a light breath and circulated the "Yunsha inner breath" in his body, and an invisible wave of air and faint evil spirit emitted.
Um?
The characteristics and oppressive feeling of the breath made some elders present look shocked.
"Look at this inner breath, Xing'er's practice doesn't seem to be an ordinary technique."
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother looked at each other.
As a wealthy family in Xiangyang City, most of the core senior leaders of the Zhou family have a foundation in martial arts.
At this time, everyone including Zhou Ying'er showed a strange look.
"Iron Plow Fist!"
Zhou Xing punched out, Yunsha's inner breath vibrated in his fist, and the power of the "Iron Plow Fist" was like a thunderstorm.
same moment.
His legs subconsciously performed "Ling Yun Step".
In just the blink of an eye, Zhou Xing's punch, driven by his inner breath and footwork, had already hit Zhou Ying'er.
"Witherworm's little trick!"
The corner of Zhou Ying'er's mouth curled up, and a slender hand, like clear water and gentle wind, swept up a soft inner breath to block Zhou Xing's blow.
Peng buzz!
Punch and palm, they clashed in mid-air and fell into a strange stagnation.
The situation was like a piece of iron and stone caught in a whirlpool of water, and the two were intertwined.
"Um?"
Zhou Xing only felt that his violent punch seemed to be stuck in cotton, without any force. He vaguely felt that part of his power had been transferred away.
But the stagnation in mid-air only lasted less than a breath.
The iron stone and the whirlpool water flow, either the iron stone breaks through the water flow, or the whirlpool carries away the iron stone.
After one breath.
Zhou Ying'er's face was slightly red, her bright eyes showed a hint of shock, and her mouth was slightly open.
Boom!
A powerful energy exploded between the two.
At the critical moment, Zhou Xing's iron stone was large enough to break through the pull of the swirling water.
Teng!
Zhou Ying'er's figure drifted back a few feet. The moment she was broken through by Zhou Xing, a powerful surge of inner energy emerged from her body.
Kick, kick, kick!
Zhou Xing was shaken back two or three steps by the powerful inner energy that suddenly emerged.
turn out to be.
At the critical moment, Zhou Ying'er's burst of inner energy exceeded the early stage of Tongmai, reached the middle stage of Tongmai, and even approached the late stage of Tongmai.
"How is it possible! I have cultivated the "Water Circle Jue" to the third level. With the same inner breath, I can hardly meet my opponent..."
After Zhou Ying'er settled down, she looked surprised and confused.
In addition, there was a burning sensation in her little hands.
The scene of the two fighting each other surprised everyone present.
Both of them came from the sect, especially Zhou Ying'er, who came from the inner sect, and was a worldly martial artist who was far away from the mysteries of martial arts.
certainly.
What is truly surprising is that, given the same level of cultivation, Zhou Xing was able to gain the upper hand, forcing Zhou Ying'er to exert a higher level of cultivation.
"Haha! Xing'er's strength is really beyond expectations. It seems that the rules of this competition need to be changed."
The laughter of the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, came.
At this moment, the head of the family was shocked. The little nephew who was completely ignored by him and had been forgotten for a while actually had such strength.
To know.
Over the years, he has given all his resources and resources to Zhou Ying'er, while ignoring Zhou Xing.
The duel at this time subverted everyone's common sense.
Will the senior clan elders present question his previous "favoritism"?
Zhou Tianwei didn't allow it, and his prestige was affected.
"Oh? How can we change the rules?"
Everyone looked at the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei.
"Xing'er, it seems that you have really practiced a physical training method, and with your good internal energy, you are already able to fight against Ying'er. In this competition, there is no need to limit your cultivation level."
Zhou Tianwei first praised Zhou Xing, and then casually changed the rules.
"But, I used to..."
Zhou Ying'er was about to say something, but was stopped by the eyes of her adoptive father Zhou Tianwei.
"Okay, cousin Zhou Xing, I have to get rid of the word 'incompetent'. Ying'er does look down on you, but from now on, Ying'er won't hold anything back."
Zhou Ying'er's eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.
call!
She moved her arms slowly, and an inner aura that far surpassed Zhou Xing's appeared on her delicate figure.
That powerful inner breath seems to have reached the late stage of Tongmai, even approaching the limit of Tongmai.
Zhou Xing's face also showed solemnity.
Zhou Ying'er at this moment is the strongest opponent he has faced since entering the sect.
Zhou Ying'er is stronger than Wang Lingyun, and even better than Le Feng when he killed the Bear King.
"Thirteen Forms of Water Circle!"
Zhou Ying'er exudes powerful inner breath, her delicate body passes through an afterimage, and her jade hand draws out a stream of inner breath that is like water, sometimes surging, sometimes fierce, sometimes like a whirlpool at the bottom of a lake, mysterious and unpredictable.
Peng! Peng!
After just one or two confrontations, Zhou Xing's figure was forced to take a few steps back.
"Such a strong inner breath! The changes in this move are really fast."
Zhou Xing confirmed that the other party's martial arts major was probably not inferior to his own "Yunsha Fist" and was even more varied.
With his inner aura in the early stage of opening the meridians, if it weren't for his strength, speed, and even reaction, he might have been knocked to the ground.
"Bronze body."
Zhou Xing took a deep breath and suddenly performed the "Bronze Statue Skill". The skin and flesh all over his body showed a deep copper luster.
In an instant.
His body expanded in a small circle in an astonishing way, like a bronze man.
Bang!
Zhou Xing's strength and defense increased greatly. His fist was like a copper ball, and he collided hard with Zhou Ying'er several times.
"What!"
Zhou Ying'er felt that every blow seemed to hit the copper wall.
Zhou Xing in his field of vision seemed to have transformed into a powerful bronze figure at that moment, with every blow containing immense power.
Puff, puff, bang!
With every blow, Zhou Ying'er felt her little hands numb.
In terms of inner breath, she indeed suppressed Zhou Xing. But in terms of physique, strength, and defense, she is far inferior to Zhou Xing.
"So strong!"
"What kind of body refining method is this? It's so powerful."
Around the martial arts arena, some senior members of the Zhou family were frightened.
Although Zhou Xing did not have a clear advantage at this moment, it was already appalling to fight like this with Zhou Ying'er in the late Tongmai stage with his early Tongmai cultivation.
"Didn't Zhou Xing say that his qualifications are mediocre? In recent years, it seems that the family has not given him much help in terms of resources."
Some of the elders and senior members of the clan couldn't help but start cooing.
But in this scene, it seemed as if there was an invisible slap, slapping the head of the family Zhou Tianwei hard on the face, causing a burning sensation.
The Zhou family martial arts arena.
No matter how mysterious and changeable Zhou Ying'er's martial arts are, they can't do anything to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing's original physique was that of a ferocious beast in human form. After performing the "Bronze Statue Skill", his strength and defense increased again.
Especially in defense, the increase is extremely high.
You can imagine what it would be like to have a humanoid ferocious beast armed with a layer of copper-skin armor.
boom! boom!
Every time she hit hard, Zhou Ying'er felt like she was hit on the wall, and her delicate hands ached.
"What kind of monster is this guy!"
Zhou Yinger gritted her teeth secretly.
If Zhou Xing was only strong in defense and strength, it would be easier to say. But the problem is that the other party has good attainments in body movement and speed.
Simply...impeccable!
Of course, Zhou Xing didn't have many reservations at this moment.
In addition to not using the "Yunsha Boxing Technique", his Yunsha inner energy was activated to the extreme; his "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" was also activated to the extreme.
Even the tyrannical power of this body has been exerted nearly 100%.
The reason why Yunsha Boxing was not used was, firstly, because the evil spirit of this boxing was too strong and it was not suitable for dealing with relatives and friends in the clan; secondly, the fire level of this boxing was not high, and its power was limited compared to the "Iron Plow Fist".
After all, Zhou Xing's current "Iron Plow Fist" is approaching a higher peak in terms of intensity.
However, this boxing technique is almost at its peak and has limited potential for improvement in the future.
"It seems that there is a chance to improve the level of 'Yunsha Fist'..."
Zhou Xing was looking for his own shortcomings in the battle.
However, the improvement of "Yunsha Boxing Technique" requires killing, truly fierce killing, which makes it easier to practice and improve.
It is difficult to understand its true meaning by simply practicing it.
soon. The two people on the martial arts field have passed hundreds of moves.
Zhou Xing's style is to work steadily, neither slowly nor quickly.
Zhou Ying'er went all out and showed her martial arts power to the fullest.
However, there was a faint trace of sweat on her forehead, and she was not as calm and leisurely as Zhou Xing.
"How could this happen?"
The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, was surprised to find that in terms of a protracted battle, Zhou Yinger, who was in the late stage of Tongmai, might not be able to hold off Zhou Xing.
This is a conclusion that subverts common sense.
Ordinarily, the inner Qi in the later stage of Tongmai is stronger, so Zhou Ying'er should have a greater advantage if fighting a protracted battle.
Little did he know that Zhou Xing, who was fused with the mysterious heart, had a huge physical advantage, which was his resilience!
Furthermore, in Zhou Xing's battle, he relied most on strength and defense, and the consumption of inner energy was not as much as imagined.
Come and try it quickly. 】
As a result, Zhou Tianwei's last hope was shattered.
"Haha! Let this battle end with a draw. It is really gratifying that our Zhou family in Xiangyang has given birth to such two geniuses in one period."
Zhou Tianwei laughed loudly and raised his hand to stop the sparring.
ever! ever!
The two figures on the martial arts field quickly separated.
"Brother Xing, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply. In this battle, Ying'er lost."
Zhou Ying'er gritted her teeth and admitted defeat frankly, with a trace of shame on her pretty face.
Thinking back to the time before, she was so trusting and brazen that she wanted to "teach" Zhou Xing, this "incompetent" cousin.
"You damn girl! How could you admit defeat..."
Zhou Tianwei almost lost his temper and fainted.
