On the way back to Black Rock City, Han Zhao used the Bone Shrinking Technique to change back to his original appearance.
According to the information in the simulation, today is the day that Xu Ling successfully broke through to the blood training realm, so he has to celebrate.
When he arrived at the entrance of Yijiangfang's martial arts hall, he could hear cheers coming from inside while standing outside.
"That's great!"
"Senior Sister Xu also made a breakthrough!"
"We have another great master in the blood training realm in our martial arts gym!"
Han Zhao walked into the martial arts gym.
Just like when Zhang Tianwen broke through, the apprentices from the martial arts school gathered in the outer courtyard, surrounding Xu Ling in the middle.
However, there are differences. Zhang Tianwen is usually arrogant and domineering. Although many fellow apprentices celebrated for him when he broke through, they were just relying on the strong. A considerable number of apprentices just stayed with him smilingly because they did not want to offend him.
Xu Ling is different. She usually has a straightforward personality and is very popular.
There were not many female disciples in the martial arts gym, not to mention that she was a beauty and her family was very wealthy. As soon as she made a breakthrough, she was sincerely congratulated by most people.
"Junior Brother Han!"
Xu Ling, who was in the middle of the crowd, looked around and saw Han Zhao standing at the door, jumping up and down, waving and shouting at him.
"congratulations!"
Han Zhao stepped forward.
"I'm just waiting for you!" Xu Ling went up to him and hugged his arm generously.
"Ho~!"
The apprentices cheered and cheered.
"Damn it! I've never been so seriously injured in a gang war!"
"Senior Brother Han should be damned! I'm not envious at all!"
"Ah! Why doesn't the daughter of a rich family like me?! It's not fair!"
"You look so ugly, you'd better practice hard and stop dreaming!"
Some apprentices who usually had a good relationship with Han Zhao screamed strangely.
"Humph!" A cold snort came from the door.
Lu Yi, who had white hair and beard and walked steadily, walked in and said with a straight face: "Everyone knows how to make noises if they don't practice well!"
When the apprentices saw Lu Yi arriving, they all stood up with their hands hanging down, looking obedient and obedient.
"Very good! Very good!"
Lu Yi looked at Xu Ling and smiled with satisfaction.
Although everyone knew that Zhang Tianwen's death was caused by a martial arts master, after all, it was a disciple of his martial arts school who was killed in the inner city. As a result, even the murderer could not be found, which had a great impact on the martial arts school.
Now that Xu Ling has successfully broken through, Lu Yi is very pleased.
Xu Ling was just twenty-two years old, eight or nine months earlier than Zhang Tianwen, and he was more likely to gain energy than Zhao Yuantu, who had just gained his second energy.
Although Xu Ling broke through the blood training realm and inherited the Zhang family's family business, it was already stable. However, in order to prevent the Xu family's old man from committing a crime, as soon as she broke through, Lu Yi went to the inner city to notify several big families.
Martial arts masters from the Martial Arts Alliance are not allowed to participate in any battles between forces, but he does not have no other options.
As long as Xu Ling can establish a good relationship with the big families in the inner city, then becoming the head of the family will be secure.
"Where is your kid? You go out a lot during this period. Are you ready to break through the bottleneck?"
Lu Yi glanced at Han Zhao beside him.
Hearing this, Han Zhao smiled and winked at Lu Yi.
"Your kid is here with me..." Lu Yi couldn't help laughing and scolding. He suddenly remembered the scene when Han Zhao broke through the bone refining realm, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Could it be that this kid has... .
Lu Yi glanced deeply at Han Zhao, appearing calm on the surface.
"Xu Ling, congratulations!" Su Yun, who had not been seen for a long time, rushed to the martial arts gym.
Since the mission in Taoyuan Village, the Su family lost two blood training masters. Although she recruited another blood training master afterwards, the Su family's business was still affected.
Moreover, the newly recruited blood training master had a big appetite and was from the Wang family, one of the five major families in the inner city. Su Yun also had a headache, so much so that she did not come to the martial arts gym for a long time.
Xu Ling stepped forward, took Su Yun's arm, and said with a smile: "Su Yun! If you don't come here, I will go find you!"
"I really can't get out of my way recently, and you know my situation. You are now the youngest person in the martial arts training realm, and I really envy you." Su Yun looked envious.
She was sincerely happy for Xu Ling, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought about herself, who obviously had better qualifications and resources but no sign of breakthrough.
"Don't worry, you will make a breakthrough too, take your time." Xu Ling comforted, but his eyes glanced at Han Zhao beside him.
Speaking of being the youngest...Junior Brother Han made a breakthrough last year, and now he is probably close to reaching his second level of vitality.
This time she was able to successfully break through, and her health regimen was indispensable.
After she mastered the first level, her energy and blood directly increased by 50%.
The perfect Qi and blood of the Bone Refining Realm is at most one and a half times that of a normal Skin Refining Realm warrior.
Because the human body has limits.
A person's congenital Qi and blood are limited, and the Qi and blood that can be cultivated the day after tomorrow are also limited. Roots, bones and resources will affect the improvement of Qi and blood.
She has never had a breakthrough because she felt that her total energy and blood were not enough, and a forced breakthrough would most likely fail, so she was stuck in the bottleneck period for two or three years.
Not to mention an extra 50% of energy and blood, even an extra 10% or 20% can greatly increase the probability of breaking through the bottleneck.
One can imagine how precious the health tips are.
"Xu Ling, actually this time I came, I wanted to invite you to..." Su Yun looked a little unnatural, wanting to invite Xu Ling to be in the Su family to help her share some of the pressure.
"The Wu family in Anyefang is here!"
"The Wang family in Yonghefang is here!"
Suddenly the sound of disciples singing "Nai" came from outside the door.
"Wang family?!"
"Wu family!!"
The apprentices on the field exclaimed.
Each of the five major families in the inner city has a martial arts master.
Among them, the Wu family is the strongest, followed by the Wang family.
The Wang family has always been on good terms with the Wu family, which can almost be said to be a pair of pants, so Black Rock City is actually the world of the Wu family and the Wang family.
Only when the other three families unite can they barely fight against the Wu and Wang families.
"You're not here to invite Senior Sister Xu, are you?"
"Senior Sister Xu has such a great reputation?"
The apprentices were talking a lot.
When they discovered that it was Wu Bi, the eldest son of the Wu family, and Wang Xie, the second son of the Wang family, who walked into the martial arts hall, the situation exploded.
"The eldest son of the Wu family and the second son of the Wang family?!"
"You're not here to propose marriage again, are you?"
"Martial Master Lu, long time no see." Wu Bi cupped his fist and saluted Lu Yi.
"I've met Master Lu." Wang Xie, who was beside Wu Bi, was also polite.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wang, I wonder who you two are..." Lu Yi returned the greeting with a smile, looking a little confused.
These two are the most outstanding geniuses of the Wu family and the Wang family today. They are already masters of three qi and blood in their early thirties, and they are inseparable from each other.
Twenty or thirty years ago, when he was still in his prime, it was still possible for the Wu family and the Wang family to recruit someone in the martial arts gym who had broken through to the blood training realm.
How could two families send people here now just for Xu Ling, and the future heads of both families were present at the same time.
"We two came uninvited, sorry for disturbing you." Wu Bi said with a smile: "We heard that someone in the Guiwu Hall has broken through to the blood training realm, so we came here to congratulate him."
"Junior sister Xu is a woman, and I have been admiring her for a long time." Wang Xie's face was filled with spring breeze, and he looked like a handsome young man.
"We have already booked a private room on the top floor of Zuiyue Building. I wonder if Junior Sister Xu is willing to hang out with us."
Wang Xie's words basically meant that the Wu family and the Wang family were trying to win over Xu Ling.
"This must be Junior Sister Xu's sweetheart, Junior Brother Han, right? He is indeed majestic and handsome!" Wang Xie changed the topic and smiled at Han Zhao who was beside Xu Ling.
With his enthusiastic look, people who didn't know better thought he and Han Zhao were good friends.
"Junior Brother Han shouldn't refuse our kind offer, right?"
Wu Bi smiled broadly.
The extraordinary enthusiasm between the two people left everyone a little confused.
Xu Ling was stunned.
Not to mention her, even her father seemed not to be treated so warmly by Wu Bi and Wang Xie.
"You two are so kind, but I would be disrespectful to you." Han Zhao responded.
It seemed that Magistrate Wu had revealed some of his connections with the Ji family, and the two young masters did not want to point it out on the spot, so they took advantage of Xu Ling's breakthrough to indirectly establish a good relationship with him.
It can even be said to be flattering.
After saying that, Han Zhao patted the dazed Xu Ling behind him.
"Oh...ok!" Xu Ling came back to her senses.
"You two are really happy!" Wang Xie said, clasping his fists.
Seeing this, Wu Bi said to Lu Yi, who was frowning slightly: "Martial Master Lu, are you also..."
"I will not interfere with your young people's gatherings."
Lu Yi waved his hand.
"In that case, let's take the first step. Junior Brother Han and Junior Sister Xu, the carriage is waiting outside. You can leave at any time." Wu Bi said, holding his fists.
"By the way, Junior Brother Han and Junior Sister Xu, if you have any relatives or friends, you can bring them with you so that we can get closer and closer." Wang Xie added before leaving.
"Okay." Han Zhao nodded.
Wu Bi and Wang Xie smiled at each other and left the martial arts hall.
Seeing that everyone was still discussing, Lu Yi said with a serious expression: "It's all gone, it's all gone! Practice hard, and you will be treated like this in the future!"
Then, he walked to Han Zhao and reminded in a low voice: "After the dinner, come to my room."
After saying that, Lu Yi walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.
Judging from his pace, he seems to be in a good mood.
"Yes, Master." Han Zhao responded.
Su Yun looked intently at Junior Brother Han in front of her.
She found that she seemed to have underestimated him from beginning to end.
Just now, the two young masters of the Wu family and the Wang family seemed to be inviting Xu Ling, but the focus of their eyes was always on Han Zhao, and she could see clearly.
In the past, she did not want Xu Ling to waste time on Han Zhao out of concern for her friends.
She felt that Han Zhao's qualifications were mediocre and his ambition was inexplicably high. Apart from his outstanding appearance, he didn't seem to have any advantages and his future achievements would be limited.
Later, because of Song Que's incident, she changed her mind about Han Zhao, but she just felt that he was worthy of Xu Ling.
Looking at it today, the two most powerful families in Black Rock City regard him as an honored guest.
what is this?
"Su Yun, Su Yun?" Xu Ling called Su Yun twice. Seeing that she didn't respond, she emphasized her tone:
"Su Yun!"
"Um?"
"Let's go to the banquet together?"
"okay!"
****
At night.
Zuiyue Tower.
After drinking for three rounds, Han Zhao apologized and prepared to leave. When Xu Ling saw this, he also got up.
Wu Bi and Wang Xie sent the two people to the door.
Han Zhao said a few words to Xu Ling and then rushed towards the martial arts hall alone.
Su Yun walked out of the restaurant and quickly caught up with Xu Ling.
"Xu Ling, Junior Brother Han..."
Su Yun was about to speak but stopped, she was curious but not easy to ask.
"Actually, it's very simple. Junior Brother Han has recently broken through to the blood training realm." Xu Ling said with a smile, because Han Zhao was ready to confess to Lu Yi, and the news would come out soon, so she wouldn't have to hide it.
"What?! Junior Brother Han..." Su Yun's body shook, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Twenty-year-old blood training realm! !
He is also a genius in Fucheng.
Moreover, Han Zhao had no background, unlike them who didn't have to worry about training resources in the early days. Otherwise, he might have made a breakthrough at the age of eighteen or nineteen.
No wonder...
After a long silence, Su Yun sighed: "Xu Ling, when it comes to vision... I'm not as good as you."
