The Merchant Union, Tianyun City, the Shi family, in the Rock Hall.
Yang Hai, who was a little chubby, was sitting on the stone slab. Squinting his small eyes, he was flipping through the accounts, reporting the mining situation in the recent months to Shi Jian, the head of the Shi family.
Shi Jian was in his seventies, but he was hale and hearty with black hair. As the head of the Shi Family, he only wore a piece of sackcloth, which was used for training. He sat on a brown rock with a calm expression and a reserved look in his eyes, listening to Yang Hai's words carefully.
After Yang Hai explained the situation to him, Shi Jian frowned and said, "Hai 'er, the ores we've mined recently have decreased by 20% compared to a few months ago. What's going on?"
"It's because of the Mo family and the Ling family." Yang Hai sighed, "Many skilled miners have been poached by the two families at high prices. We are short of manpower. We have suffered a lot from the secret fights with the two families. The miners are afraid that we can't win against the two families. Plus, the two families offered a high price, so they moved to another place. "
"Humph!" Shi Jian snorted, "The two families are obviously against us. Since the marriage between Mo Yanyu and Ling Shao Feng, the two families have been getting closer and closer. Recently, the Ling family has also sent people to intervene in the secret fights between us and the Mo family. They must have reached an agreement, or the Mo family wouldn't be able to win against us."
"Head, should we fight back?" Yang Hai asked.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Shi Jian was calm. After a pause, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Hasn't the little bastard Shi Yan come back yet?"
"No, I was just about to talk to you about it." Yang Hai smiled bitterly, "When he left, he said he would go to the Dark Forest. It's been almost a year, and he hasn't come back yet. I got the news two days ago that Mo Chaoge and Mo Yanyu are both in the Dark Forest. Do you think something happened to him? When he left, he didn't bring any powerful family guards with him. Qing 'er passed away early, and I only have this one child. I'm afraid … "
Shi Jian frowned, kept silent for a while, and then sighed, "This kid didn't have our Shi family's Petrification Martial Spirit since he was born, and he didn't like Martial Arts at all. He spent all his time studying strange things, and he liked to run around. How troublesome."
"Patriarch, it's my bloodline that's not up to par. If I had a 'Martial Soul', the child that Qing 'er and I gave birth to wouldn't be like this." Yang Hai said shamefully.
"This is all heaven's will." Shi Jian shook his head and said, "Hai 'er, I found you in the Endless Sea. Although you are not my biological son, I have always treated you as my own. Otherwise, I would not have betrothed Qing' er to you. That's right, you don't have a Martial Spirit, and you don't train hard in martial arts, but the Shi Family's strategic planning and management of those mines, how could you be lacking? Without you, Shi Jian wouldn't have been able to gather so much wealth. Although you are not good at martial arts, your contribution to the Shi Family is no less than anyone else's! "
"But now, a peak level warrior is more precious than any wealth in the world." Yang Hai laughed at himself, "If I had a 'Martial Spirit', I would have also trained hard in martial arts. If Yan 'er had inherited his mother's Petrification Martial Spirit, he might have continued to train. But why is this' Martial Spirit 'destined? Alas …"
Shi Jian nodded and sighed, "You're right. A peak level warrior is indeed more precious than any wealth. This is the truth."
"Patriarch, do you think something will happen to that kid?" Yang Hai was still worried about this.
"Nothing should happen to him." Shi Jian thought for a while and said, "That kid doesn't like martial arts, so the Mo family never paid attention to him. Neither Mo Chaoge nor that Mo Yanyu should have seen that kid. If they don't know each other, they won't be targeting him. "
"But I still feel something is wrong. He should have come back long ago."
"Yes, I'll ask the guards in Silent Town to keep an eye on him. Silent Town is close to the Dark Forest. Once that kid shows up, they will send a message. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Patriarch."
"What are you thanking me for? That kid is your son, isn't he my grandson? " Shi Jian stared at him and shouted, "How many times have I told you, don't call me Patriarch. I am your adoptive father and your father-in-law. You can call me anything, but don't call me Patriarch."
"Adoptive father, Hai 'er will remember."
"Yes."
…
It was a quiet night in the Dark Forest.
On a remote lawn, Luo Hao stood as straight as a mountain. The five-times gravity field was released with him as the center, making it hard for people to breathe.
Shi Yan was sweating all over. He jumped around Luo Hao, and his body was moving and fighting. The blue veins on his face were tight, and his neck was shaking like little snakes.
In the grass, Mu Dieyu was biting a blade of grass and watching them secretly.
"How long do you think this kid can last today?" Dijaran came up and squatted beside Mu Dieyu, and asked in a low voice.
"You finished your task today?" Mu Dieyu chuckled, but didn't answer.
"Zhao Xin took over. It was a close call. A single-horned silver snake wrapped around a branch. I didn't pay attention, but it almost bit me to death. Luckily I reacted in time, or I wouldn't be able to see you. "
Dijaran was still scared, and cursed, "There are more and more demon beasts recently. We have to be careful. In these three days, we have met five waves of demon beasts, especially at night. You'd better take me with you next time, or you may be in danger. "
"You just want to say one last thing, right?" Mu Dieyu chuckled.
"Ha, you saw through me." Dijaran didn't hide anything, and said frankly, "That kid is really powerful. He can break through his limit every time, and his endurance is getting stronger and stronger. Even I, a cultivator at the Third Sky of the Nascent Realm, dare not to mess around in Uncle Luo's five-times gravity field. This guy is crazy. He won't stop until he faints. Crazy, crazy!"
"His endurance is not the scariest thing about him." Mu Dieyu shook her head, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Yes, his recovery ability is even more abnormal. I can't believe it. He is only at the First Sky of the Nascent Realm. How could he have such a terrifying recovery ability?" Dijaran was also puzzled.
"This guy has a lot of secrets …" Mu Dieyu thought for a while, and whispered, "I have never seen a guy like him who can eat so much. In these three days, he has almost eaten up all our food. Now I am worried about food. He is really a big eater."
"Ha." Dijaran laughed, "This little bastard's words are interesting. Just a casual sentence can make people laugh. He has a lot of novel ideas that I have never heard before. He said that it was only reasonable for an emperor to be elected by the commoners. He said that merchants could influence a country. He even knows how to compose sour poems. I can't understand how a seventeen-year-old could have so many weird things in his head. "
"Yes, it is this seventeen year old guy. When he looks at us, it seems like he wants to eat us alive. I have never seen such a naked possessive look. This bastard is so bad!" Mu Dieyu clenched her teeth, and made a chopping action, "I will let him know how powerful I am sooner or later!"
"Wait until your Martial Spirit recovers. Ha, what's wrong with letting him see? Anyway, I won't lose a piece of flesh. Guys like Zhao Xin and Hu Long only dare to peek at my butt when my back is facing them. I despise people like that. Compared to them, that guy is much more courageous. I like it. "Dijaran laughed boldly.
"Are you in love?" Mu Dieyu sneered, "He is still a kid. Don't seduce him. "
"Have you seen that kind of look from a kid?" Dijaran lowered her voice and asked, "I suspect that this guy's actual age is not that old. He might have used some secret method to make himself look so young. He is deliberately pretending to be young! Maybe, this is also some kind of hidden special Martial Spirit … "
"That makes sense. It seems like we have to pay more attention." Mu Dieyu thought for a while, and slowly nodded.
…
"Peng!"
Shi Yan spread his limbs and fell on his back. He was exhausted and said in a hoarse voice, "How many laps?"
"Fifteen laps." Luo Hao's expression was complicated, "During these fifteen laps, you kept jumping, hitting, rolling and so on. You have to bear much more pressure than ordinary people. Kid, can you really … bear it?"
"Ahem, I'll know tomorrow whether I can take it or not." Shi Yan found it difficult to even speak.
During these three days, as long as he had free time during the day, he would secretly practice "Rampage".
Under his hard practice, the acupoints on his chest and waist could also release negative energy according to his will, which made his whole body look much thinner.
He had practiced almost every part of his body, except for his brain, which was the most difficult to practice …
At night, he would pester Luo Hao and let Luo Hao exert the five times gravitational field. Under this huge pressure, he would crazily practice himself.
Three days, in just three days, he broke through from the limit of eleven laps to the limit of fifteen laps. While running, he actively increased the difficulty, jumped, dodged and hit, and so on, which consumed more energy.
In this high-intensity training, he obviously felt that his strength had increased a lot. His hands, feet, bones, muscles, and internal organs all became stronger. Every morning when he woke up from the training, he could easily jump several meters into the air under the normal gravitational field. He felt that his body was full of explosive power, and even the agility of his hands and feet had been greatly enhanced.
Because of these practical benefits, which he could see every day, he kept increasing the difficulty, crazily destroying himself as if he was possessed. He used the cruelest and craziest means to practice his body, which greatly improved all the skills of his body, and even the speed of condensing Profound Qi.
"Howl! Howl! "A strange sound suddenly came from the outside.
Luo Hao's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "This is the sound of the Level Four demon beast, 'Fire Monster Python'! 'Fire Monster Python' is very difficult to deal with, but it usually doesn't move at night. Someone must have disturbed it! "
"Uncle Luo!" Zhao Xin and Hu Long hurried over, their faces full of anxiety.
"What's going on?" Luo Hao shouted.
"There is a group of warriors hunting the Fire Cloud Demon Python. The Fire Cloud Demon Python is coming towards us, and those warriors are still chasing it. The Fire Cloud Demon Python is completely enraged." Zhao Xin said anxiously.
"Damn it!" Luo Hao suddenly took the broadsword off his shoulder, and said, "Protect Little Die!" Then he suddenly rushed out.
Shi Yan was sore all over, but he suddenly sat up, silently operating his Profound Qi. His eyes were shining, and he calmly stared at the direction where Luo Hao rushed out.
