At the same time, there were two guards standing guard at the door of a quiet room in Prince Wu's Mansion.
This is the practice room that Zhao Hongming ordered to arrange alone. The entire room is taller than other houses, and the floor of the room is paved with diamond rock, which is extremely hard.
It can be used by martial artists at will.
There is only one futon in the practice room and no other extra furniture.
At this time, Zhao Hongming was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes fixed on a certain place in his sight: "Martial skills breaking the mountain, breakthrough!"
In an instant, the personal attribute panel changed, and Suiyue's martial arts level jumped to the second level.
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation Technique: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu - Martial Arts Level 1 (13331/100000)]
[Martial skills: 2nd level of Kaitian (28/2000), Desolate Secret Travel (11422/∞), 2nd level of Broken Mountain (61/3000), 1st level of Suppressing Demons (85/2000), 1st level of Moving Mountains (565/1000)]
[Can break through martial arts: None]
[Today’s practice time: 4 hours]
[Physique: Spirit Fetus]
[Root bone bonus: 4.0]
While Wu Qi was training, Zhao Hongming was not idle and devoted himself to the practice of martial arts.
After these days of hard training, the progress of cultivation techniques and martial arts has increased, and three of the martial arts have reached breakthrough levels.
In his opinion, these three martial arts would represent supreme sword skills, supreme explosion, and supreme defense respectively. After the continuous optimization and strengthening of [Tiandao Rewards Diligence], it has reached a level of perfection.
Even if the martial arts men in this world were gathered together and spent their entire lives learning, they might not be able to deduce such martial arts.
If any martial arts master saw these martial arts, he would be shocked and fell to the ground.
This is the power of God to reward those who work hard.
However, Zhao Hongming was not very happy. As his cultivation continued to improve, he gradually understood what Emperor Jian'an meant when he said that his path to martial arts was broken.
The fact that the road to martial arts is broken does not mean that martial arts cannot be practiced to a certain extent, but it means that after practicing to a certain level, even if martial arts improves, the changes it can bring are very limited.
It's like saying that a martial artist has practiced a martial art to the point of perfection. No matter how much he improves by one point or ten points, his appearance of killing people will remain the same, and there will be no changes internally or externally.
It felt to Zhao Hongming as if there was an upper limit, which nailed the upper limit of martial arts in this world and no one could surpass it.
After Zhao Hongming broke through the three martial arts this time, he found that the increased power was 10% or 20% less than previous breakthroughs.
He doesn't feel much at the Wudan realm yet, but he has an intuition that when he breaks through to the Creation realm, this "broken" feeling will be extremely obvious.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongming did not feel frustrated or unfair, but instead aroused his competitive spirit.
With [Tiandao rewards those who work hard], he is confident that this upper limit will be exceeded.
As he said before, maybe the Eight Desolations Immortality Kung Fu is not safe, so practice more other immortal martial arts techniques.
If that doesn't work, you can also try methods other than martial arts.
He vaguely remembered that the cultivation methods used by the old Taoist monks and the Luling Wang family were different from the conventional cultivation techniques he had seen.
National destiny, family secrets, and immortal martial arts are all methods that he can constantly practice and borrow.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongming's mood jumped twice and his blood boiled.
The muscles all over his body made crackling sounds and were so tight.
Especially the muscles between his arms, it was like there were many rats lying on his arms. Every muscle was bulging and seemed to contain destructive power.
Zhao Hongming opened his mouth and let out a hot breath, then glanced at his arms as thick as thighs.
He knew that this was not the result of the growth of his body muscles, but the result of the special use of martial arts and the Qi, blood and true meaning contained in his body.
Zhao Hongming could roughly guess the power without even trying.
He calmed down the emotions in his heart and stopped operating the [Shattered Yue] martial skill.
The swollen arms gradually subsided, returned to their normal appearance, and walked towards the door.
After Gao Yanshi collected and sorted out all the information for the day, he quickly walked to Zhao Hongming's practice room.
He stood at Zhao Hongming's door and did not disturb him, but patiently guarded him.
As a fellow martial artist, he knew that the most taboo thing for martial artists during their training was to be interrupted by others.
Fortunately, he was not left waiting outside the door for too long, and Zhao Hongming just finished his practice this morning.
Squeak!
The door opens.
Zhao Hongming walked out of the practice room with his upper body naked.
His skin was red, and in the slightly cold air, there was a trace of white air.
Gao Yanshi, who was guarding the door, seemed to have been prepared. He took out a long coat from the guard and put it on Zhao Hongming with familiarity.
Zhao Hongming asked casually: "Has the Daliang Imperial City Department found anything?"
Gao Yanshi replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Imperial City Department has investigated it and there is no problem."
Zhao Hongming stepped forward and walked out. Outside the practice room was a small garden. It was autumn, and the chrysanthemums inside were in full bloom.
Gao Yanshi lowered his head and followed closely.
"Tell me carefully."
Gao Yanshi replied: "Zhang Yi is not of ordinary origin, just as His Highness guessed. He is the same junior fellow student of Su Qing of Zhao State and a disciple of Yunmeng Sect. Now he is accompanied by a junior sister of the same sect, and they call each other brother and sister."
Zhao Hongming asked curiously: "What kind of martial arts sect is this Yunmeng Sect?"
"It is an ordinary martial arts sect in the Chu Kingdom. However, unlike other martial arts forces, the Yunmeng Sect does not focus on martial arts cultivation, but instead focuses on teaching disciples tactics and tactics. It is said that those who practice in this sect are all born A humble person with poor martial arts talent, but also a very smart person.”
Zhao Hongming smiled: "It is really an interesting sect. I will visit the Yunmeng sect leader when I have the opportunity in the future."
"Your Highness, Yunmeng Sect is gone." Gao Yanshi said.
"Well, that's a shame."
It was just a martial arts force. Zhao Hongming didn't think much about it. He waved his hand and said, "Go down and do other things."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave."
Gao Yanshi bowed his head and exited the small garden.
Zhao Hongming stands alone among the chrysanthemums. He has many secrets, so he often has to deal with them carefully.
Although Zhang Yi is talented, he is not afraid of it, but if he wants to be more confident in the work assigned to him in the future, he cannot know anything about this person.
Otherwise, he would be clearly understood by his subordinates, but he would know nothing about his subordinates. This King Wu would be overly negligent in his duties.
Military strategists have long said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle, and the same applies to controlling your subordinates.
Zhao Hongming feels that there is nothing wrong with being careful, and it will definitely be of great use in the future.
Time is like running water, and years are like shuttle.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The temperature in Yingjun gradually dropped and turned colder. After the busy autumn, the Yinghe River became much deserted.
In the past three months (plus the previous time), Zhao Hongming had made enough silver through preparations in advance, and in the Wang family's transactions, he had obtained a large number of armors and crossbows, which did not let him down. Wu Qi's troop training progress in the suburbs was delayed.
But the out-of-work consumption of nearly a thousand people is not something a small Mingjiao can afford.
Even if Zhao Hongming used his strength to wipe out five relatively notorious martial arts forces, there were still some shortcomings.
He did some calculations and found that the supplies he had on hand, including wish stones and gold and silver, could only last another month.
It just so happened that with his hard training in the past two months, it was almost enough, and he could find a way to truly control this county.
Zhao Hongming suddenly realized and called up the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts panel, and information about his personal training emerged.
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu-First Grade Martial Dangers (100061/100000)]
[Martial skills: 2nd level of Kaitian (49/2000), Desolate Secret Travel (13412/∞), 2nd level of Broken Mountain (257/3000), 1st level of Suppressing Demons (188/2000), 1st level of Moving Mountains (754/1000)]
[Breakthrough in martial arts: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu]
[Today’s practice time: 11 hours]
[Physique: Spirit Fetus]
[Root bone bonus: 4.0]
In two months, after realizing the upper limit of martial arts improvement, Zhao Hongming focused more on the practice of martial arts.
At least from the current point of view, he has not found any sign that the Eight Desolations Eternal Age Skill has reached that "value".
Practicing the Eight Desolations Eternal Age Skill is more cost-effective than those martial arts.
After reaching the martial arts realm, the Bahuang Eternal Skill still performed very stably and gave Zhao Hongming a different advantage than other martial artists.
One is like a surging river, with endless true meaning, which allowed him to show unexpected resilience during the battle.
The other is to strengthen the flesh and blood of the body, so that the damage suffered can be recovered in an instant.
These two items alone have benefited Zhao Hongming a lot.
Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu is worthy of the name of “health preservation”.
Zhao Hongming straightened his mind and had a thought in his mind: "Eight Desolations Immortality Kung Fu, breakthrough!"
A familiar feeling came over me.
After a few breaths, Zhao Hongming clearly saw that the information on the cultivation techniques in the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] attribute panel had changed.
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu-Second Grade Wu Dan (61/400000)]
The moment the information on the attribute panel changed, Zhao Hongming trembled and his whole body went numb.
There seemed to be a sudden thunder in his body, like spring thunder exploding, containing some kind of vitality, which made Zhao Hongming deaf and enlightened.
The faint aroma of green grass filled Zhao Hongming's body, and with it, the green mist.
This time the cyan mist became thicker and no longer as thin as before.
Zhao Hongming's ears fell into a certain silence after a thunderous sound.
He couldn't hear other sounds from the outside world, he could only hear his own thunderous heartbeat.
Every sound is like a drum beat, full of rhythm and vigorous vitality.
The bridge between heaven and earth he visualized extended and became more majestic.
The eternal true meaning flowing endlessly above is like a blue river, rushing towards the sea.
Zhao Hongming opened his eyes, and the green mist lingering around him lingered, feeling more at ease than ever before.
He stood up gently from the futon and stood motionless with his bare feet on the ground.
Zhao Hongming put all his attention into it, recalled the breathing method at the beginning of the Eight Desolations Eternal Age Gong, and began to breathe seriously.
His face gradually gained a rosy luster, as if carved from warm jade, and he felt that his body was full of strength, as if he had become one with the earth.
It was obviously the time of early winter, but he was standing on the cold stone surface, and his feet were warm, without any discomfort.
Zhao Hongming's breathing was steady, his eyes froze, and he pinched the spell with one hand according to what he had in mind.
The cyan mist that surrounded him suddenly gathered behind Zhao Hongming as if he had received an order.
The head of a man who looked like him slowly took shape.
This head is as big as Zhao Hongming, looks lifelike and majestic.
After the head was formed, it slowly levitated behind him, and in the process of levitating upward, the neck, shoulders, and eighteen arms extended one after another.
From a distance, it looked like a huge god looming over the sky and earth, gently protecting Zhao Hongming in his arms.
At this point, Zhao Hongming knew that he had reached the limit of what he could do.
But that alone is enough to shock the world.
Eighteen arms means that he can superimpose eighteen times the power. With the Shaoyue martial arts, the combined burst is enough to kill a martial artist of the third or fourth level of martial arts.
In this Ying County, so far, except for the ancestors of the Wang family, he has never heard of anyone who can reach the third level of martial arts.
The ancestor of the Wang family is old, and his energy and blood have declined a lot. Even if he has a third-grade martial arts cultivation level, it is still unknown how much he can perform now.
That is to say, starting from this moment.
He has no one to fear in Ying County.
King Wu Zhao Hongming is not just a king in name only, the word "武" is worthy of his name.
…
at the same time.
In the artificial lake of the Wang family, four people stood in front of the ancient bronze door.
The county governor Chen Shenghai, the ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Jingzhi, the head of the Wang family, and an old Taoist wearing shabby clothes.
"Taoist Priest, are you ready with everything we need?"
The old Taoist smiled and said: "Of course you are ready, I will not let my guard down at this time."
As he spoke, he took out a soul-calling flag and shook it in his hand.
Soon the mysterious characters embroidered on the soul-calling flag began to light up, giving off a chilling aura.
"Now that the Heavenly Dao has collapsed, it is difficult to make the spirit-gathering weapon. Thanks to the support of the Wang family and the county guards." The old Taoist said with a smile: "The ancient immortal formation method of the Wang family has been used, and the essence of tens of thousands of people has been used. , I am an experienced person who can refine such a thing. Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on today."
After saying that, the old Taoist priest's face became serious. He threw the soul-calling flag forward and waved a small flag in his hand.
Immediately, the soul-calling flag froze in the void, unfolded the flag, and began to wave in front of the ancient bronze door, following the gestures of the old Taoist.
Every time it shakes, majestic spiritual power seems to spread.
The runes on the ancient bronze door began to flicker.
I got sick over the weekend, so I think it’s better to follow my own pace and not overtax myself. I'm not a speed writer, so forcing myself to write can sometimes be counterproductive. You still need to save some energy to deal with your own work and strike a balance between the two.
