Chapter 107

Over the next few days, the disciples who were still exploring the True Martial Secret Territory were sent out one after another. Almost everyone who came out had more or less a joyful expression on their faces.

On the day of the Secret Territory's closing, the Misty Wind Clan and the other five sects gathered in the valley once again to compete with each other. In the end, each sect had different degrees of casualties.

The Misty Wind Sect was indeed a medium-sized sect. Out of a hundred people, 70 survived. In comparison, the Golden Elephant Sect, which also had a hundred people who entered the Secret Territory, was much more miserable. Only 44 people survived. More than half of the disciples stayed in the Secret Territory forever, including a few elite disciples.

The survival rate of the other sects was only around 50%. Each sect only had about 20 people left.

The Fire Cloud Sect's Sovereign, Li Daxiao, looked at Li Jianshu and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Old Li, this time's trial, your sect's disciples could only come out a little less. The losses are a little heavy. Hehe, it seems that your sect's disciples still need to train well."

Li Jianshu smiled at him and said, "Sovereign Li, I have nothing to complain about. Those who should have come out have all come out. Those who can't can only blame themselves for not being strong enough. As the saying goes, 'Survival of the fittest, natural selection.' Our sect has 44 people who can stand out. These disciples can grow stronger and our Golden Elephant Sect will also become stronger and stronger! "

Then, Li Jianshu asked, "Sovereign Li, your sect only sent 25 people out. Could it be that you are envious of our Golden Elephant Sect?"

"How could it be!" Li Daxiao hurriedly covered it up. In his heart, he was secretly jealous. Indeed, it seemed that the Golden Elephant Sect had suffered a heavy loss, but the number of disciples who could survive was much more than the other four sects. These disciples had received good training and would become the pillars of the Golden Elephant Sect in the future.

The other four sects' Sovereigns also cast envious gazes at the Golden Elephant Sect.

Right at this moment, the Misty Wind Sect's Sect Leader, Ling Xiaotian, stood in front of the crowd and concluded, "Everyone, this time's Secret Realm trial is still a success. The disciples of each sect have been tempered and their strength has also increased. In the near future, there might be a new generation of experts born from us disciples who will become figures like Taoist Zhen Wu.

"But at the same time, many disciples have died in the exploration. They were all brave warriors! All the surviving disciples must inherit their spirit and continue to work hard! Now, let us mourn for those who have died. "

For a moment, the entire audience was silent. They looked towards the center of the valley, where the entrance to the True Martial Secret Realm had appeared.

Behind the crowd, Zhan Chen also sighed. "That's right. The success of the various sects in this mystic realm exploration was built on the sacrifice of the majority. I'm afraid that the road ahead will only be more difficult. There will be fewer and fewer people who can persevere and climb to higher realms … The successful road of martial cultivation is fated to be paved with eerie white bones. "

After the mourning activities, the Sects's Mountain Range. Zhan Chen and the others followed Li Jianshu back to the Golden Elephant Sect. They went to Shannan Town to dispose of some of the Demon Elixirs, Spirit Herbs, and some of Wang Yin's belongings. After that, they returned to their own courtyard in the Golden Elephant Sect and began to cultivate in seclusion.

In the cultivation room, Zhan Chen sat on the cattail hassock and muttered to himself. He patted his Qiankun Bag and took out three jade bottles. He looked at them carefully and his thoughts returned to yesterday.

These were the three metal-attribute Elementary Fourth Grade Elixirs, Golden Cloud Elixirs, that he had exchanged with Wang Yin's three Fourth Grade Elixirs and 600 mid-grade Primordial Stones.

Thinking of this, he still had a trace of unwillingness. It was obvious that he had been ruthlessly slaughtered by the Elixir Pavilion's shopkeeper. But the result was still good. He had gotten what he wanted!

"I'll first refine these three elixirs and see how much my cultivation can improve!" Zhan Chen was secretly looking forward to it. He stuffed a Golden Cloud Elixir into his mouth and began to circulate the Golden Elephant True Skill …

A month's time passed in the blink of an eye. Zhan Chen opened his cultivation room and frowned. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Not enough, it's far from enough!"

He clenched his fist and felt the concentration of vital Qi in his meridians. He felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement.

"I've only completed about one-third of it. I'll need another two-thirds to break through to Martial Honor!" Zhan Chen had a rough idea.

"But I can't rely on elixirs anymore!" He began to feel conflicted.

Although Zhan Chen was a genius and had many fortuitous encounters, the time he had spent to settle was too little. In the Northern Sea Continent, other geniuses would need at least ten years to break through to the Martial Honor realm. However, Zhan Chen had only been at the Martial Master Great Completion realm for three years!

Now, his cultivation was mostly built up by the accumulation of fourth-grade elixirs. It was superficial and needed time to settle and temper. He might even need to go through a few life and death trials.

He had a feeling that even if he was given more fourth-grade elixirs to accumulate vital Qi to break through to Martial Honor, it would be difficult for him to break through the final barrier with his lack of foundation. When the time came, he would need to spend more time than others to accumulate and polish his strength. He would not be as good as those who had been steady and steady from the beginning.

"It seems like I'll have to think about breaking through to Martial Honor at length. Haste makes waste. I'll have to start from other aspects to improve my strength!" Zhan Chen had never longed for strength as much as he did now. He was so close to his goal of vengeance. The one-year deadline kept spurring him on.

"That's right, I still have the True Martial Explosive Essence Skill!" Zhan Chen suddenly remembered the most important inheritance he had obtained from the temple. It was this Top Grade Profound Ranked Secret Skill.

Since this Secret Skill did not specify how much one's strength would increase after using it, Zhan Chen did not pay much attention to it at the beginning. However, now that he was at the end of his rope, he wanted to give it a try and began to practice it.

Zhan Chen closed his eyes and began to think. He recalled the contents of the Secret Skill. The words and meridian diagrams appeared in his mind. Even though it had been more than a month, it was clear as day.

The so-called Secret Skill was a special Cultivation Skill that could instantly stimulate the potential of a cultivator's body. It could even increase a cultivator's strength by several levels in an instant. However, there was a corresponding price to pay for using the Secret Skill. Some of these prices were big while others were small.

The level of the Secret Skill to increase one's strength, as well as the size of the price, determined the difference between the levels. The higher the level of the Secret Skill, the greater the improvement of the cultivator's strength, but the price paid was relatively small.

The principle of the True Martial Explosive Essence Skill was to stimulate a part of the acupoints of the human body to achieve the purpose of burning the True Qi. Thus, the cultivator's strength, speed, and responsiveness would be comprehensively improved for a certain period of time.

This Secret Skill was divided into three realms. Every time a realm was opened, more acupoints needed to be opened. The first realm would accelerate the loss of True Qi. The second realm would not only accelerate the loss of True Qi, but also burn the meridians, even causing slight damage to the meridians.

The third realm of the Secret Skill could even cause a part of the True Qi or True Yuan in the body to explode in the meridians, forming an overwhelming power in a short period of time. This was the origin of the True Martial Explosive Essence Skill.

However, it was very dangerous to operate the Secret Skill to this stage. Because after the True Qi and True Yuan exploded, the meridians would inevitably be damaged. If overused, it was very likely that the cultivator would become a cripple and would not be able to practice martial arts for the rest of his life.

Therefore, unless it was a life and death battle, the third realm of the True Martial Explosive Essence must not be opened.

Zhan Chen began to move his True Qi according to the meridians of the Secret Skill and began to familiarize himself with this Secret Skill. Although the meridians of this Secret Skill were relatively complicated, it was not difficult for him. Within two months, he had mastered and mastered it.

On this day, it was the most critical moment. He closed his eyes to rest and adjusted his physical state to the best. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and shouted, "The first realm of the True Martial Explosive Essence Skill, open!"

The flow of zhenqi in his body suddenly sped up. As the acupoints described by the secret technique were opened, Zhan Chen felt as if a gate had been opened in his body. Then, it was as if there was a raging fire burning in his body. The speed at which his zhenqi flowed was three times faster than usual.

At the same time, his senses became extremely sensitive, his reaction became extremely fast, and his movements were full of powerful strength.

"Is this the first realm of the Secret Skill?" Zhan Chen seemed to feel that there was a burst of Qi in his chest that had to be released. His mind moved at will, and he performed a set of Golden Light Sword Art. Suddenly, a sparkling golden storm of sword light was formed, as gorgeous as the flowing river under the light of the setting sun.

After withdrawing his sword, Zhan Chen's mood still could not calm down for a long time. The first realm of the Secret Skill had increased the power of his sword art by more than three levels!

At this time, he suddenly felt weak in his meridians, and hurriedly withdrew the Secret Skill. For a moment, he felt his head was heavy, and his feet were light. He staggered a few steps, and then stabilized his body. He smiled bitterly, "It has only been 15 minutes, and my True Qi has been exhausted!"

However, the effect of this Secret Skill could be exchanged for the effect of increasing his combat power by three levels. The effect of this Secret Skill was really amazing!

"Then what effect will the second realm have?" Zhan Chen immediately wanted to try, so he swallowed an elixir and began to restore his True Qi.

After two hours, Zhan Chen had completely returned to normal. Therefore, he immediately activated the second realm of True Martial Explosive Force Formula, and more acupuncture points were activated.

This time, he felt the burning sensation in his body become stronger, and there was a burning sensation in his meridians. The speed at which his True Qi was burning was three times faster than in the first realm, and had reached the normal speed of nine times.

Zhan Chen could clearly feel that his skin had begun to turn red, and his combat power had increased by another level. Whether it was his attack power, reaction power, or speed, they were all increased by six levels.

Feeling the huge power in his body, his heart was beating fast, and a thought flashed through his mind, "If I enter the third realm, Explosive Force Realm, wouldn't I be able to increase my attack power by nine levels? Coupled with the addition of my Sharp Metal True Qi and Tiger Roar Sword, it would be enough to defeat a beginner Martial Venerable! "
