The first ray of sunlight in the morning passed over the high slope at the edge of Jiang City and shone into the Navy Barracks. Junior Leopard was practicing there.
Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist!
Since midnight last night, he had been practicing in front of his door again and again without a break.
Fine sweat had soaked his whole body. Now his whole body seemed to have been fished out of the water. This was pure body movement and the circulation of strength. Only at the most critical moment would he run the Internal Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique to temper his bones. Every step and every movement was extremely standard. There was not a trace of discrepancy with the requirements of Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist. This was the performance of a bone-honing fist skill that had been practiced to the peak.
There were already some people standing outside the small courtyard where he lived. They were Wang Cheng, Jiang Xiao, Zhu Ba and the others. There were originally some Navy soldiers, but they were driven away by Yuan Long and Wang Datong who came.
Last night, after midnight, Wang Cheng angrily returned to the Army Barracks and took Jiang Xiao and the others to Junior Leopard's room. Unexpectedly, they ran into Junior Leopard practicing in front of the door. At that time, they did not dare to disturb him. They wanted to wait until Junior Leopard finished practicing. Unexpectedly, Junior Leopard did not stop practicing for the whole night. The longer the time, the more they did not dare to disturb him, for fear of disturbing Junior Leopard's practice.
In fact, they could not disturb Junior Leopard's practice at all. Because Little Du was lying in front of the door, its pair of blue eyes vigilantly staring outside the courtyard. No matter who it was, as long as they approached the courtyard, they could hear its warning roar. As for stepping into the courtyard, no one here dared to.
"Your Excellency Wang, how long do you think the commander is going to practice?" Zhu Ba, who had been waiting impatiently, finally could not help but ask. This was the fifth time he had asked the same question since midnight.
"I don't know!" Wang Cheng answered with the same answer.
At this time, a strange crackling sound came from Junior Leopard's body. The sound was not loud, like withered branches in the forest, subtle but obvious.
"Pipa, pipa, pipa —!"
One sound after another. Originally, it happened once every few breaths. Later, it slowly developed to a sound every breath. After a while, the sound gradually became coherent and louder. It was like beans exploding in oil.
"This is —!"
Hearing this strange sound, the muscles on Junior Leopard's body began to tremble rhythmically. His movements also began to slow down. Later, every movement of Junior Leopard's seemed to exhaust all his strength. Sweat, like rain, emerged from his skin, followed by faint traces of blood and some strange black sticky substance.
"Milord is going to advance from the Skin-Toughening Realm to the Bone-Forging Realm!" Wang Cheng said excitedly. It was impossible for people like them to advance from the Skin-Toughening Realm to the Bone-Forging Realm. Although they all had Level Three cultivation, which sounded like they were only one step away from the Bone-Forging Realm, because the cultivation method they practiced was too poor, it was impossible for them to reach the Perfection of Level Three no matter how much Internal Qi they accumulated, let alone advance to the Bone-Forging Realm.
To them, the Bone-Forging Realm was just a legend.
In Jianghu, many people could raise their cultivation to Level Three through hard work. But at the same time, after reaching Level Three, it meant that their path forward was cut off at the same time. Because the cultivation methods they practiced were not good enough, or they did not have the strength to buy medicine to purify their body, or they did not have a good Bone-Forging Fist Skill. In fact, most people in Jianghu lacked all three. Therefore, they would never be able to advance to the Bone-Forging Realm.
It was also because of this reason that even for a medium-sized well-known family like the Wu Family, as long as a disciple's cultivation reached Level Four and entered the Bone-Forging Realm, he would become an Elder. It was because of this difference of one level that made a difference of a thousand miles.
"What? Advance to the Bone-Forging Realm? Isn't His Excellency an expert of the Bone-Forging Realm?! "
Until this time, Zhu Ba reacted, "Then how did he kill Li Sanbao that night? He is a Level Four expert, and he also has the Cross Training Diamond Body! "
"Lower your voice!" Wang Cheng reprimanded him in a low voice and pointed at Little Du who was crouching at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Li Sanbao died in its mouth!"
"Oh, so that's the case. But that's not right. How did His Excellency tame this Silver Wolf?!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Xiao shouted coldly at the side, "Zhu Ba, it's better not to be so anxious about His Excellency's matters, lest you get into trouble!"
"Uh!" Zhu Ba was not convinced. His neck stiffened. When he wanted to say something, he was glanced at by Wang Cheng and swallowed the words that were just about to come out of his mouth.
In the field, the fine and dense sound of beans popping on Junior Leopard's body gradually stopped. His movements also began to speed up.
"Huff, huff, huff, huff —!"
His breathing became louder and louder. Every time he breathed, he exhaled a large amount of airflow. The temperature of the airflow that he exhaled was extremely high, raising the temperature of the air in the courtyard.
Almost in a very short time, the temperature of the entire courtyard rose by more than 10 degrees. The moisture in the air also evaporated at the same time. The entire courtyard seemed to be very dry, and Wang Cheng and the others standing outside the courtyard only felt that they were suddenly in an invisible desert.
"Is this the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique that His Excellency practices? Legend has it that this is the Divine Skill of the Wu Family in Yunzhou. Only a few inner core disciples are qualified to learn it. Seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation! "Wang Datong at the side sighed with emotion.
"What, are you jealous?!" Zhu Ba laughed and said, "His Excellency is a core disciple of the Wu Family. And you see, he is about to enter the Bone-Forging Realm. At that time, he will be the Elder of the Wu Family in Yunzhou. What about you? You are just a small quartermaster of the Navy of Jiang City. What are you jealous of? "
"You shut up!" Wang Cheng said coldly, "His Excellency's practice has reached a critical moment. Don't talk, lest you disturb him. Otherwise, you will die without knowing how!"
Several people shut up at the same time. Wang Cheng's words were right. If they disturbed Junior Leopard's practice because of their laughter and made Junior Leopard fail to advance, then they would not be able to live through the day. Tonight, the moon would definitely not be able to be seen again.
In Junior Leopard's almost violent breathing, a trace of light red airflow began to be exhaled from his nostrils and mouth. It condensed around his body and slowly took shape. After nine breaths, a fiery red dragon-shaped airflow began to surround him. Then, after another nine breaths, the second dragon-shaped airflow was born, then the third, the fourth, the fifth …
After 81 breaths, nine dragon-shaped airflows were completely formed, surrounding him.
All of a sudden, Junior Leopard's movement paused and he let out a low shout. An unparalleled strength emitted from his body, shattering all the clothes on his body. Nine dragon-shaped airflows strangely passed through his body, as if they were passing through a layer of formless shadow. Every time they passed through, Junior Leopard's bones would make a crisp cracking sound. Each of the nine dragon-shaped airflows passed through his body nine times, for a total of 81 times. They almost covered Junior Leopard's entire body from top to bottom. Finally, they slowly dissipated.
"Huff!"
Junior Leopard's throat suddenly let out a low roar. It was as muffled as thunder, exploding in the ears of several people. But it was like a sudden clap of thunder in their ears on a sunny day, exploding one by one, making them dizzy. Then, there was a burst of violent explosion, one sound after another. This time, it was louder than exploding beans, and also much longer. It lasted for a full 30 minutes.
When all the sounds disappeared, through the nine dragon-shaped airflows around Junior Leopard, several people vaguely saw that Junior Leopard's movements had stopped. His figure seemed to be taller than before.
However, before the people at the entrance of the courtyard could see clearly what was going on, Junior Leopard, who was surrounded by the dragon-shaped airflows, flashed and disappeared.
The people outside the courtyard looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Little Du, who was at the entrance of the courtyard, was still crouching there. The vigilance in its eyes was not reduced at all. They also did not dare to enter the courtyard rashly.
After a long time, they saw Junior Leopard leisurely walk out of the house. He had changed into a cyan robe, and the messy hair on his head seemed to have been tidied up. Once Junior Leopard came out, Little Du suddenly stood up and scurried out of the door. No one knew where it ran to.
"Sorry for making you wait for so long!" Junior Leopard had an apologetic expression on his face as he welcomed several people into the courtyard.
"You're too kind. Your Excellency's cultivation has greatly improved. To the Navy of Jiang City, it's a great thing!" Wang Cheng and several people hurriedly said.
"What great improvement? I just broke through a bottleneck that I haven't broken through before!" Junior Leopard laughed. His face was full of joy. Just a moment ago, he finally pushed his body's strength from the Skin-Toughening Realm to the Bone-Forging Realm. If it wasn't for the fact that the few people outside the courtyard were already in the middle of the night, he was afraid that he would have done closed-door training on the spot to stabilize the realm.
"Commander Wang, if I remember correctly, you should have come here yesterday after midnight, right? What exactly happened? Why are you in such a hurry? "
"This …!"
Just now when they saw Junior Leopard practicing martial arts and breaking through the realm, they were so excited that they almost forgot the purpose of their visit. Now that they heard Junior Leopard's question, their faces immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
"We are incompetent and have failed to live up to your trust. Your Excellency, please punish us!" As Wang Cheng said, he bent his legs and knelt down. Once Wang Cheng knelt down, the few people behind him also knelt down.
"Your Excellencies, you don't have to do this!" Junior Leopard raised his hand and sent out a hot but gentle force to lift the few people up. "Commander Wang, what exactly is going on? What trust? Why can't I remember?"
"This …!" Wang Cheng blushed and said, "It's about the matter of us setting up a drill ground on River Heart Island. The County Magistrate and Guard Ding didn't agree. Not only that, they also gave the dock of River Heart Island to the Yellow Dragon Gang. I argued with them for a long time, but there was no way to change their minds!"
