Now that you have entered the inner courtyard, you must maintain your qualifications to stay. Half a year later, the knockout rounds will be more intense. At that time, the gangsters will basically be eliminated, leaving only those who really want to practice hard. According to the academy's regulations, 10% of the people will be eliminated in each elimination round.
Lu Changfeng and his disciples still have 310 disciples in this class, and after the next class there will be less than 280 left, not counting those who quit midway. According to the principle of 50-50 split between the inner and outer courtyards, there will only be about 130 places in the next inner courtyard, and it will be even harder next time. So after celebrating, Lu Changfeng and the other two started practicing hard as usual.
Longhu went to the blacksmith shop and found a two-hundred-jin iron plate. When he was not practicing, he would hold it up and play with it. After lifting it a hundred or so times, he would press the iron plate on his body and let Lu Changfeng hit it with a sledgehammer. He also said that one day he must perform a successful chest-breaking iron plate for the brothers...
Zhou Hua is not as perverted as Long Hu. Long-distance running with a weight of eighty kilograms every day is a required course for him. After finishing it, he has to refine a Red Fire Pill to strengthen his physique. Moreover, this guy found the joy of fighting from the last challenge, and he would drag Lu Changfeng and Long Hu into a fight every day. Now when he was fighting, he no longer wore his red armor, and he used a bladeless sword, which made a loud banging sound when he was struck, but this guy didn't make a sound, and he never tired of doing it every day.
As for Lu Changfeng, unfortunately, he has now encountered a bottleneck. As expected, Dahai Boundless Kung Fu was just enough for him to reach the Martial Master Realm. Now this technique is not practical enough for people in the martial arts realm, so that the practice effect is too poor. However, this does not mean that Boundless Sea should be eliminated.
Kung fu techniques are all created by humans. Unless they are created by God, they cannot be created casually and be perfect. After the birth of a skill, it needs to be improved and perfected by the creator himself or future generations. The same is true for Lu Changfeng's Boundless Sea. The powerful techniques of many sects have been perfected after dozens or even hundreds of generations of descendants improved them.
Dahai Wuliang has only undergone two changes so far, and due to the low level of Lu Changfeng, it is still in the preliminary exploration stage of cultivation, so compared with other techniques, this is indeed not a powerful technique. Although it is difficult to guarantee that Dahai Wuliang will evolve into a higher-level martial art after continuous improvement in the future, the fact before us is that with Lu Changfeng's current ability, he is temporarily unable to innovate Dahai Wuliang to make it suitable for martial arts. People who respect the realm practice. If you insist on practicing this method now, the effect may be no different from refining Qi.
Without the skills, Lu Changfeng could only practice the God Refining Technique and exercise his physique for the time being. The Red Fire Pill was not enough, so he went to Old Man Zhong to refine it again, but this time Old Man Zhong didn't do it. He guarded the door and Lu Changfeng made it himself.
Although his cultivation has stalled, his physical condition has improved and he can now crush large rocks with his chest. Although he cannot compare with Long Hu who is determined to crush iron plates, he is still not worse than Zhou Hua. Now Zhou Hua was slashing Lu Changfeng with an iron sword without an edge, and he would basically not be injured. It is also worth mentioning that Lu Changfeng used the Divine Refining Technique to upgrade his mental power to the second level of solid iron. This time he could clearly feel that his mental strength had improved. He used to stay up late refining elixirs, and after four or five days, he couldn't even open his eyes. Now I can stick to it for seven or eight days without blinking an eye when it comes to adding fuel to the fire.
After his mental strength improved, Lu Changfeng's aura increased and seemed to become more oppressive. Zhou Hua has always been noisy and has no integrity with anyone. But recently Zhou Hua discovered that Lu Changfeng would become very scary when he was angry, and a sudden look could make him tremble. After this situation occurred several times, Zhou Hua couldn't help but complain to Lu Changfeng, so Lu Changfeng began to restrain himself intentionally to avoid scaring the boy.
Improving mental power also has another effect, which is to enhance spiritual insight. Lu Changfeng only recently discovered this. Since his mental power entered the solid iron realm, Lu Changfeng has been able to detect some things that were not easy to detect in the past, such as mosquitoes three feet away and the footsteps of people within twenty feet. This is not a simple enhancement of vision or hearing. When going out, if someone looks at him, even if that person does not appear in his field of vision, Lu Changfeng can feel it. This feeling was really strange, and Lu Changfeng couldn't explain why.
From this point of view, this God Refining Technique is still very valuable, not as useless as the legend says. Lu Changfeng accidentally picked up a treasure, so he practiced for an hour every day. Lu Changfeng didn't hide this secret skill. He asked his two partners if they wanted it, but the answers they got were that they didn't have time to practice it.
Also, the two of them need to cultivate their spiritual power, but Lu Changfeng does not have that blessing. Taking advantage of more time recently, Lu Changfeng went to Old Man Zhong a few more times to refine a batch of more useful elixirs.
In addition, Lu Changfeng buried an underground vat in the yard, set up the boiler, bought some koji with a lot of money from a wine shop, and started brewing. After three failures, Lu Changfeng finally drank his first drink independently brewed. The evaluation given by Longhu after tasting it was that it was mushy and needed improvement...
"Stop, someone is coming?"
When the three of them were fighting, Lu Changfeng noticed someone coming?
"Where is there? Nonsense!" Zhou Hua said dissatisfiedly before taking back the knife.
Longhu also looked at the door of the courtyard, listened attentively, and frowned: "There is no one there. Are you too nervous, Da Feng... Hey, someone is really coming? There seems to be more than one." Longhu's The perception is still a bit worse than that of Lu Changfeng. From the time Lu Changfeng noticed the coming person, it took a few breaths for Longhu to notice it. This can be seen as the difference between whether he has spiritual sense or not.
"There really is someone. You are a dog, and your ears are so good." Zhou Hua also noticed this time.
Three people came, and the leader was a big-eared man with an angry look on his face, looking like he deserved a beating. This person was very familiar to Zhou Hua. He was the guy who challenged him at the end of the challenge and then had a quarrel with Longhu. Zhou Hua still remembered that his name was Liu Bao.
Following him were two young men in their twenties. One of them was a tall man with a bit of disdain on his face and a strong body, somewhat similar to Longhu. The other was shorter and had bare arms. He has a cobra tattooed on his arm.
"Old man, it's them! The one who hurt me was the little fat guy on the side, and the one who scolded me was the kid in the middle!" Liu Bao pointed at Zhou Hua and Long Hu.
The tattooed man looked at Zhou Hua and sneered: "You can't even defeat a trash at the sixth level of the martial arts realm." The tattooed man then looked at Longhu, glanced at him, and skipped, focusing on Lu Changfeng, slightly He said in surprise: "Oh, it turns out there is a Martial Master Realm. No wonder you can't beat him. Boy, are you the one who bullied my cousin?"
The tattooed man said this to Lu Changfeng, and Lu Changfeng felt aggrieved. This is none of my business, okay. Your cousin was beaten by Zhou Hua and scolded by Long Hu. You don’t really think that your cousin was beaten by us together, right? Lu Changfeng looked at the people coming carefully. Needless to say, Liu Bao was a scumbag at the sixth level of the martial arts realm, the tall and strong man was at the ninth level of the martial arts realm, and the tattooed man was at the third level of the martial master realm. These two people are very difficult to mess with. No wonder Liu Bao looks for them as his backers. He is seeking revenge.
Longhu heard what the tattooed man meant, and immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "It's none of his business, it's your cousin who deserves a beating!"
"Oh, you?" The tattooed man looked at Longhu again. This tall boy was dressed in coarse linen clothes. Judging from the many patches on his body, he looked like a countryman. Apart from his strong body, there was really no trace of this. What's so special about being a teenager.
"Since it's you, then kneel down and apologize!" The tattooed man's tone was full of disdain. For a person with a talent at the seventh level of the martial arts realm, he was really too lazy to take action. The tattooed man looked at Lu Changfeng and Zhou Hua behind Longhu, and his tone turned stern: "You two also have a share, kneel down together! If it satisfies my cousin, I can consider sparing you."
Longhu showed his black gold gun and said in a deep voice: "Kneel down? Just you?"
Zhou Hua also took out the golden-backed knife and sneered: "You asked me to kneel down, are you crazy because of your frustration? Let me tell you, I beat your noob cousin. This loser took advantage of me to lose my strength and wanted to be simple. , the result is not that you lose, but you have the nerve to sway someone to take revenge. I really belong to you, little leopard."
"You bastard, it was me last time..." Liu Bao wanted to find a reason for his failure last time, but he couldn't think of a suitable one, so he became angry and said: "Old cousin, beat them to death."
The tattooed man laughed wildly and said: "Okay, you have the courage, I like it! Ah Xing, do it and kill me!"
After hearing this, the tall young man named A Xing showed his sword and said with a serious smile: "Boys, don't blame me, it's just that you don't know what is good and what is good."
Longhu shook his spear and said in a cold voice: "You can come up and give it a try!"
