Opening his eyes, Ye Chen jumped off the bed and performed a set of King Kong Fist without using his Zhen Qi.
The wind from the punch whistled through the room, causing the furniture and the wooden windows in the room to make rattling sounds. Finally, they broke into pieces and scattered all over the floor.
"Wow, my strength has increased by five thousand pounds and reached twenty thousand pounds." Ye Chen immediately felt the great increase in his physical strength. He seemed to have endless energy and could kill five water buffaloes in a row with one punch.
Qi power was not like Zhen Qi, which was limited by the limits of the human body, and would grow very slowly. It would already be amazing for a martial artist to reach twenty thousand pounds. Even Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists did not have such a powerful body, unless they had also trained a body strengthening martial art.
"Senior Sister Xu Jing must have used seventy to eighty percent of her strength that day, otherwise her last punch could have killed me." Thinking of the power of the [Golden Three Realm Art] and the [Monster Killing Fist Art], Ye Chen knew his limits and did not think that his opponent had used her full strength.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, the sun was high up in the sky.
Stepping on the sunlight, Ye Chen arrived at the Floating Cloud Palace.
The palace was empty, there were only three or four people choosing missions, it was very quiet.
Walking to the gray jade wall, Ye Chen looked at it and fixed his eyes on the last mission in the first row, it seemed to be newly posted.
Mission: Go to the Ancient Water Lake and help the Qu family find the lost ship.
Details: There is a dangerous place in the Ancient Water Lake called the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends. There are many demonic beasts in the water and it is accompanied by underwater whirlpools. It is extremely dangerous.
Mission difficulty: five-star gray level.
Mission reward: one hundred and twenty thousand gold.
"The Ancient Water Lake, isn't that in the extreme north of the Windy Nation? It is so far away from here! "
Ye Chen had heard of the name of the Ancient Water Lake. It was said that this lake had existed for three thousand years. In the early days, it was just a small lake. Later, there was a big earthquake and everything within thousands of miles sank into the ground. After three thousand years of irrigation, it became the Ancient Water Lake today.
In the early days, the Ancient Water Lake was not dangerous, but the current Ancient Water Lake was extremely dangerous. It seemed that the earthquake had released the ancient demonic beasts underground, which had occupied the entire Ancient Water Lake, causing some fish and prawns that were not demonic beasts to mutate and become one of the demonic beasts.
In the middle of the Ancient Water Lake, there was a large island named Pan Shan Island. There was a clan living on the island, it was the Qu Clan that issued the mission. The Qu Clan had a long history. Three thousand years ago, they lived on Pan Shan Island. Even though they knew that there were many demonic beasts in the Ancient Water Lake, they had never thought of leaving and had always lived there.
On the other hand, there would occasionally be some geniuses who were unwilling to be left out of the limelight. They would leave the Ancient Water Lake and come to the bustling area, making a name for themselves. It was said that the Emerald Martial Palace had an inner disciple who came from the Qu family of the Pan Shan Island.
Without thinking too much about it, Ye Chen tore off the mission slip and left the Soaring Cloud Hall.
At the foot of the mountain, a rider was galloping towards the north.
…
Eight days later.
Ye Chen came to the vicinity of the vast Ancient Water Lake.
Coincidentally, there was a small run-down restaurant on the shore, with four large black words written on the plaque with peeling paint.
"Ancient Water Restaurant!"
Getting off the horse, Ye Chen patted the horse's head, "It took me eight days to get here. I should replace you when I get back. You will suffer if you follow me anyway."
It was shameful to waste time. The dark brown horse was reliable in the early stages, but in the later stages, it was powerless. Two thousand miles a day was of no use at all. Even if they rushed through the night, they would only be able to travel three thousand miles a day. Ye Chen planned to go back and get a half-demon horse, the Ghost Eyed Jade Lion, which could travel three thousand and three hundred miles a day. If they rushed through the night, five thousand miles would not be a problem. The most important thing was that the half-demon horse had a strong physical strength. It could run continuously for three days and three nights without rest. After that, it only needed to rest for a night and it would be full of energy again.
"Young warrior, you are going to the Ancient Water Lake right? Why don't you come in and take a rest? "The waiter saw a guest and greeted him enthusiastically.
Ye Chen nodded, "Take care of my horse."
"Alright, this way please!"
The restaurant was more dilapidated than he had imagined. The walls were mottled, the tables were rough and uneven, and even the chairs were pieced together. It looked very shabby.
Choosing a chair that was pleasing to the eye, Ye Chen sat down and ordered a few dishes.
While he was eating, the sound of horse hooves unexpectedly came from outside the restaurant.
"Good luck today, another guest."
The waiter immediately became energetic.
After a while, a young man dressed in green walked in.
Seeing Ye Chen, the young man in green frowned, "You are an inner disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School, are you going to the Ancient Water Lake Pan Shan Island?"
"Yes." Ye Chen could tell that the young man was an inner disciple of the Emerald Martial Palace.
"Then you don't need to go. The Qu family's business should be handled by the Qu family."
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, "You are a disciple of the Qu family."
"The 166th generation disciple of the Qu family, Qu Ming." The young man in green sat down at a table opposite to Ye Chen.
"Sorry, since I have accepted the task, I will try my best."
Ye Chen did not intend to give up the task.
Qu Ming sneered, "I am reminding you that there is no boat to cross the Ancient Water Lake. It is four hundred and fifty miles of waterway from here to the Pan Shan Island. If you are not careful, you will be dragged into the water by the beasts and die without a whole body. Moreover, the nine twists and eighteen turns are even more dangerous."
"Everything is dangerous. How can you achieve great things by being timid?"
The two did not have any conflict. After all, not every disciple of the Emerald Martial Palace was arrogant and annoying.
…
On the shore of the Ancient Water Lake, the lake water was surging and sparkling. At a glance, the sky and the water were like a line.
Qu Ming glanced at Ye Chen and took out a waist-thick, one meter long piece of wood from his storage ring.
The wood was shot more than a dozen feet away, drawing a white water mark on the lake. It was extremely fast, but Qu Ming was even faster. He didn't make any movements, but he was faster. Before the wood fell into the water, he had already stepped on it. He rode on the wood as if it was nothing, and after a while, he became a small dot.
"Using a piece of wood as a boat."
Ye Chen nodded and looked around. Soon, he found a small forest hundreds of meters away, in which there were many three to four meters tall trees.
A sword light flashed and a big tree fell down.
Ye Chen was afraid of being attacked by beasts on the way, so he cut a dozen more pieces of wood. Each piece was the same thickness and weighed hundreds of pounds.
Coming to the shore, Ye Chen did the same thing, threw the wood out and stood on it.
The scenery on both sides quickly passed by. Ye Chen felt that he had never been so happy before. For a moment, he felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide. He was like a bird, free and unrestrained.
The wood had lost its momentum. Ye Chen activated his Zhen Qi and spurted it out from the back of the wood, becoming the source of power.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Although he did not catch up with Qu Ming, his speed was not slow. In addition, it was good to step on the wood and enjoy the scenery of the lake.
After walking for dozens of miles.
Under the water behind the log, a huge shadow was following them silently.
