Forest by the river.

"The two of us haven't had a good chat for a while."

Wang Bowen and Chen Yiming strolled slowly along the river, surrounded by a dense forest that completely obscured their figures.

The faces of the two were calm, and it seemed that they were not affected by the new head of the museum, Lin Yixuan, at all.

"Junior Brother Chen, what are your plans for the future?" Wang Bowen said calmly.

"What does Senior Brother Wang mean?" Chen Yiming replied.

"The Mantis Sword Hall is actually the Vientiane Gate of the provincial capital, a peripheral organization set up in Donghu City, which is responsible for selecting young people with potential." Wang Bowen explained.

"No wonder I can't figure out why there are always only young core disciples in the martial arts gym, and the masters and uncles of the master's generation have never appeared.

And the library also stores martial arts books left by the seniors. "Chen Yiming nodded.

"Tang Snake Sword Gym and Donghu Martial Arts Academy are not much different in essence. You can treat it as a school. If you can't advance to higher education, the old generation of core disciples will be considered as graduates." Wang Bowen sighed, "It's a pity that you became a core disciple. Not long after, it just happened to happen that the new and old museum owners were changing, and they didn't get enough resources to grow."

Only quasi-core disciples and core disciples can receive some free training resources from the martial arts gym, and it has been less than a year since Chen Yiming became a quasi-core disciple.

"The core disciples of the previous generation, what did they do later?" Chen Yiming asked. Now he just wants to make a smooth transition with the trend and cultivate to the warrior state first.

"It is said that they seek their own way out. Some join large group companies, some recruit people to form gangs, and some like me will return to the family." Wang Bowen introduced.

At this time, the two walked to a protruding platform by the river.

The platform was built by fishermen, and the two went directly to the platform to enjoy the breeze.

"How long can we core disciples stay in the martial arts hall?" Chen Yiming asked again.

"It's hard to judge, but there must be at least a month or two.

If Lin Yixuan wanted to truly become the owner of the pavilion, he first had to break through to the Warrior Realm, and then he had to get the consent of the Wanxiangmen. "Wang Bowen replied.

"The Vientiane Sect will definitely agree? They won't send another person to take over the martial arts school?" Chen Yiming asked.

"Lin Yixuan has another identity. He is an outer disciple of the Vientiane Sect. In addition, he was born in Donghu City and was recommended by the previous owner. No one can compete with him." Wang Bowen said in a low voice.

"Is that so, then Senior Brother Wang lost because he didn't want to get married?" Chen Yiming asked curiously.

As soon as the words came out, the serious and dignified atmosphere was instantly broken.

"This matter is my senior brother's private matter, so I won't tell you. Let's talk about your plans. If you don't need my help, senior brother." Wang Bowen said directly with a suffocated face.

"I didn't think about it for a while, I'll talk about it after a while," Chen Yiming replied.

"Okay, if you need help, just ask." Wang Bowen smiled.

About to lose the amulet of the core disciple of the Mantis Sword Gym, after leaving the Mantis Snake Sword Gym.

Whether to go to the provincial capital with a bigger stage or to stay in Donghu City, Chen Yiming never considered.

...

Three days have passed since Lin Yixuan returned from the barracks.

During this period, Chen Yiming was notified that the welfare of gold-eating insect eggs had stopped, and he was also not allowed to buy jerky from the supplies.

It didn't matter to him, maybe level 2 swordsmanship talents overflowed the apprenticeship level too much, and eating gold bug eggs would not help his cultivation.

For more than half a year, Chen Yingying ate all the gold-eating insect eggs he brought home every month.

Although the person who notified him did not mention whether the library was still open to the old core disciples like them, Chen Yiming had already looked down on swordsmanship below the martial artist level.

He didn't even go to the martial arts gym, and found a remote place to practice alone.

One night, Chen Yiming suddenly received a call from Shi Changyi, telling him that the Zidian Stone matter had been settled.

...

Among the mountains and forests, in a valley.

Chen Yiming found a place where the guards were loose and climbed over the wall, galloping all the way, jumping and jumping.

His speed was extremely fast, and under the cover of the night, only a phantom could be seen passing by.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the address Shi Changyi provided.

As soon as he landed, he saw Shi Changyi who had been waiting for a long time.

Standing beside Shi Changyi were two subordinates. When they heard the movement in the darkness, they were nervously waiting in line, ready to strike at any moment.

The wilderness area is different from the city. If the news leaks out and is surrounded by people, no one will know about the death outside.

In addition, there are some problems with the origin of the batch of purple electricity stones that Shi Changyi obtained, if someone finds out, he will cause a lot of trouble.

"It's Brother Chen, one of our own." Shi Changyi saw who was coming, and said.

Seeing this, the two subordinates beside him relaxed and stood aside to wait for orders.

"Why did you choose this place? Is there something wrong with Zidian Stone?" Chen Yiming asked directly.

"It is said that there has been new progress in the research of weapons specially designed for different worlds, and purple calcium stones are suddenly listed as contraband." Shi Changyi explained.

"Is it going to be difficult after that?" Chen Yiming nodded and asked again.

"There is no specific news about this, but it is very likely that it will be difficult to get it." Shi Changyi said in a deep voice.

Before Chen Yiming came, he felt that something was wrong, so he chose a valley in the wilderness area to meet.

But he thought that Shi Changyi did not threaten his strength, so he boldly went to the appointment, and if something went wrong, he would immediately silence him.

"Both of you, go and check around to prevent anyone from following you." Shi Changyi instructed his two subordinates.

After the two subordinates left, Shi Changyi took out a wooden box from the bushes nearby.

"Inside is the purple electric stone."

Chen Yiming squatted down, untied the cloth belt wrapped around the surface of the wooden box, lifted the wooden cover, and half of the box of purple calcium stones appeared in front of him.

Each purple electric stone is as big as a fist, jumping out purple arcs from time to time in the dark night, illuminating the figures of the two people from the darkness.

"Be careful, this thing is a real dangerous product, it can electrocute people." Shi Changyi reminded from the side.

"Thanks." Chen Yiming put the wooden cover back on, and tied up the untied cloth belt again.

It is very difficult to counterfeit such a dangerous thing as purple calcium stone, and the authenticity can be seen at a glance. Chen Yiming did not have the idea of ​​testing it on the spot to prevent accidents.

"I don't know how to calculate the price?" Chen Yiming stood up and asked directly.

"I sincerely make you my friend. Maybe one day I will need your help too. In the future, we will help each other." Shi Changyi said frankly.

"That's fine, call me if you need something." Chen Yiming nodded.

Shi Changyi is probably busy smuggling out this box of purple calcium stones these days, and has not received the news that Chen Yiming is about to lose his status as a core disciple of the Mantis Sword Academy.

Now that the purple calcium stones have been listed as contraband, he does not know what price he will have to pay if he wants to get them in the future, and he urgently needs these purple calcium stones to break through the warrior realm.

So I didn't care whether Shi Changyi would think he was cheating after he went back and learned the news.

...

Ten days later.

More than ten kilometers east of Donghu City, in the deep mountains and old forests, next to a pool.

Chen Yiming sat cross-legged on a boulder with his eyes closed, and blue arcs continuously appeared all over his body.

The blue electric arc moved along the body surface like a water snake, sometimes submerging into the body, and sometimes jumping out.

This is the result of Chen Yiming tempering his body with purple electric stones for the past ten days. He successfully broke through to the warrior realm. These electric arcs are the internal strength he cultivated.

Since he had already cultivated a trace of lightning power before, although the amount of this lightning power was small, it was at the level of inner energy in essence.

So when he used the purple electric stone to assist in tempering a single part of his body, he concentrated the trace of lightning power he cultivated on the tempered part.

Doing so caused little damage to his body, and he could go all the way without any scruples.

On the boulder, Chen Yiming suddenly opened his eyes.

In the air within one meter in front, a flash of lightning flashed, making a cracking sound.

"Is this electricity from the void?"

Chen Yiming stood up, mobilizing the power of lightning in his body to concentrate on the long sword.

Immediately, a blue electric current shot out from the end of his finger, flowed to the blade, turned at the tip of the sword, and flowed back to the finger along the blade.

"It seems that internal energy can only be attached to objects."

Chen Yiming tried several times, but the blue current couldn't leave the long sword, at most a few centimeters of electric arc jumped out from the tip of the sword.

At this time, a group of birds suddenly flew up in the woods.

"My inner strength, which contains the power of lightning, is too loud. If I use it, I can't hide it from others." Chen Yiming was surprised.

The mantis swordsmanship he majored in before has a certain shielding attribute, and the movement caused by muscle exertion is negligible, so under the advantage of strength, he has repeatedly succeeded in sneak attacks.

"Try to see the power!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yiming threw the long sword at the pool.

On the surface of the long sword, a blue electric current swam, and the sword-like arrow burst towards the water pool.

Under the blessing of inner strength, the speed of the sword is several times faster than before.

It is not a small advantage for the speed to be 100% faster in the match, 30% faster usually the opponent can't even touch the corner of the clothes, and several times faster is completely crushing, and the opponent can't react at all.

"Boom!"

It was as if a depth bomb had been dropped into the water pool, and a deafening sound echoed in the deep mountains, and the strange beasts hidden in the mountains were frightened and ran in the opposite direction.

The water splash was blown up more than ten meters, and the splashed water carried a trace of electric arc, and a small amount fell on the surrounding trees, and the electric arc exploded instantly.

The place of contact instantly turned scorched black, and some branches and leaves burned directly.

In addition, in the entire pool, there was an electric arc constantly swimming on the water surface, which lasted for nearly a minute before disappearing.

"It's no wonder that all the martial arts practitioners in Donghu City yearn to join a force with inner strength martial artists.

As the core disciple of the Mantis Sword Gym, he is respected no matter where he goes. "Chen Yiming whispered.

He instantly recalled a lot of past events, which he could only vaguely feel before, but now he understands directly.

Apprentice realm and martial artist realm, the upper limit of external strength and internal strength are so different that they cannot be compared at all.

If the sword he just shot hit a group of apprentices, within a few meters of the sword as the center, there would be no apprentices who could withstand the blasting arc.

At this time, Chen Yiming glanced at the woods that had been destroyed by the lightning force at the edge, jumped up and rushed towards the pool.

Plop!

He plunged directly into the water, and quickly found the long sword inserted into the bottom of the pool.

"Inner strength seems to have a protective effect."

Chen Yiming returned to the boulder, checked the long sword carefully, and found that the long sword was intact.

He guessed that the power of thunder and lightning was a form of internal strength, which itself possessed extremely high defensive power.

Otherwise, if he plunged into the bottom of the pool at such a fast speed, even if there was an obstacle from the water flow, it would be impossible for the long sword to not have a gap.

...

The sky was slightly white, and it was another sunny day.

Early in the morning, Chen Yiming went out of the city to Chaoyongluo Town and joined Liu Wanqing's team.

During the ten days of going out to practice, there was no change in the Mantis Sword Hall, which made Chen Yiming feel relieved.

Since the day Lin Yixuan came back, he never stepped into the Mantis Sword Pavilion, after all he was close to Wang Bowen, and Wang Bowen was Lin Yixuan's former competitor.

Chen Yiming didn't want to cause conflicts. After all, this was the place where he was enlightened in martial arts, and he wanted to make a good impression.

Entering Yongluo Town, I found that compared with the last time, there are not small changes.

Pedestrians are coming and going on the street, the sound is booming in the shops, and the bars are full of people, which is very lively.

In addition, on both sides of the only street in the town, there are people holding recruitment plaques everywhere.

The content on the plaque indicates the price of hiring people who practice martial arts in different realms to go into the mountains to hunt exotic animals.

"It seems that most of the strength of Donghu City was involved in the previous war on the Great Lakes in the west. Last time, there were not so many temporary recruitments." Chen Yiming sighed upon seeing this.

The water environment of the Great Lake to the west is not suitable for apprenticeship battles, while the forest environment of the Nuhe Mountains is much better. Many people who returned from the battlefield came here to hunt exotic animals.

Without staying too long, Chen Yiming walked all the way into the town and found a small restaurant called 'Taste and Never Forget'.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yiming saw Liu Wanqing and three men talking around a dining table.

Liu Wanqing was wearing a white dress at this time, shedding the temptation of the dress.

The long black hair is tied into a ponytail, and the whole person looks refreshing and capable.

Among the three men, one was obviously different from the other two, handsome in appearance, and somewhat similar in outline to Liu Wanqing.

There were two remaining men, all dressed in martial arts uniforms, from the Tongbi Boxing Gym and the Kamikaze Gym.

"Chen Yiming, come here quickly." Liu Wanqing waved when he saw someone enter the door.

"Come here on foot, it's a bit late." Chen Yiming walked to the only vacant stool by the table and sat down, apologizing.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the strange eyes of the three men, with a trace of scrutiny.

"This is my third brother, Liu Daoyuan, he is Meng Tai from the Tongbi Boxing Gym, and he is Zhao Yifeng from the Kamikaze Gym." Liu Wanqing introduced with a smile.

"Mantis Sword Pavilion, Chen Yiming." Chen Yiming introduced himself.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit delicate, Meng Tai and Zhao Yifeng looked down at Chen Yiming.

After listening to Chen Yiming's introduction, Liu Daoyuan's complexion was also not very good-looking.

Only Liu Wanqing kept smiling all the time, as if he didn't see the expressions of the other three at all.

The news that the Mantis Sword Pavilion is about to change to a new owner has obviously spread among the upper-level forces in Donghu City.
