"There are no friends in the Thorns Mountain Range! Only benefits! "Huo Yong hatefully glared at Wang Chen and unwillingly looked at his bag.
"There are no friends, only benefits?" Following Huo Yong's gaze, Wang Chen looked at his own bag with a sneer and anger.
He had just saved Huo Yong's life a few days ago, yet Huo Yong had done such a thing. If he hadn't survived in the Thorns Mountain Range for more than forty days, increasing his vigilance and keeping his guard up against Huo Yong, the result would have been obvious.
Was this the law of survival in the Thorns Mountain Range? Yes, there were no friends, only benefits. Thinking of this, Wang Chen's eyes turned cold.
"Die!" While Wang Chen was lost in thought, Huo Yong suddenly jumped up from the ground and once again pounced at Wang Chen, the dagger in his hand emitting a bone-piercing chill.
"Blue Wave Slash!" Suddenly drawing the Scarlet Flame Greatsword from his back, Wang Chen slashed forward.
"Puchi …" With a muffled sound, Huo Yong's eyes widened as he slowly slumped down, the longsword sinking into his body.
Pulling out the longsword, Wang Chen felt a little disappointed. A never before felt exhaustion invading his body.
"Hehe, kid, what's wrong? You can't get used to this? Hmph, this is how it is in the Thorns Mountain Range. I've already told you the law of survival. Here, there is no such thing as sympathy, only enemies! Either you die or I die! "Feeling the change in Wang Chen's mood, Lin Zhan smiled and asked.
Such a place was really a big test for Wang Chen, especially when he came out to take the trial alone. If he came out to take the trial with a team, he might not encounter so many problems.
This was an adventurer's paradise, an adventurer's domain. It wasn't suitable for people like them to come. Even the disciples of sects or nobles would usually form teams to train here.
Looking at Wang Chen, Lin Zhan couldn't help but sigh. This little guy had done too many things that his peers couldn't do.
"I understand!" Wang Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Tidying up his clothes, Zhang Xuan casually searched through Huo Yong's corpse, but it was a pity that there was nothing to be gained. Perhaps it was because Huo Yong's corpse had been plundered earlier.
During the summer when he was 16 years old, Wang Chen deeply experienced the trials of life and death in the Brambles Mountain Range, and deeply experienced the sinister nature of human hearts. He gradually adapted to living in the Bramble Mountain Range.
… …
Another 20 days later, today was the 71st day of the Brambles Mountain Range. Wang Chen opened his eyes from his cultivation as a glimmer of light flashed through them.
In the short span of 40 days after stepping into the eighth step, Wang Chen had already stepped into the ranks of the ninth step after constant life and death battles.
Following his breakthrough to the ranks of a Stage Nine True Martial Artist, the True Essence Energy in Wang Chen's body became much more condensed. At the same time, in these 71 days, his Astral Body Tempering had also made great progress.
Now, in the ranks of the ninth step, his physical strength had already reached 12,000 kilograms, surpassing the strength of an average ninth step True Martial Artist by 11,000 kilograms.
"I've finally become a Stage Nine True Martial Artist!" Feeling his own strength, Wang Chen's lips curled into an excited smile.
Back in Qingfeng City, a ninth step True Martial Artist was already considered an extraordinary person in his eyes. A ninth step True Martial Artist was the number one person below the Martial Artists. In a small town like Qingfeng City, he could already be considered to be in the top ranks.
In a short span of nine months, Wang Chen had already grown from a Third Rank Body Refinement Realm youth who was called trash to this stage. Thinking back, he was filled with emotions.
"20 Overlapping Wave Palms!" With a light roar, Wang Chen displayed his Overlapping Wave Palms on this piece of land.
With the 130% increase of the 20 Overlapping Wave Palms, his strength of 12,000 kilograms could be displayed to a strength of 15,600 kilograms! In terms of strength, it was comparable to a rank two Martial Artist!
"21 Overlapping Wave Palms!" The 20 Overlapping Wave Palms could no longer restrict Wang Chen's limits. With an angry roar, Wang Chen successfully displayed the 21 Overlapping Wave Palms.
Unsatisfied, Wang Chen continued to display the 22 Overlapping Wave Palms.
With the strength of a ninth step True Martial Artist, the 22 Overlapping Wave Palms were displayed! Although it seemed to be a little strenuous, it was still displayed.
The overbearing cultivation method of the Imperial Dragon Technique and the continuous practice of the Astral Body Tempering allowed Wang Chen's body to improve greatly. Now that he could finally display the 22 Overlapping Wave Palms, he could successfully use it without opening the Door of Opening.
The 22 Overlapping Wave Palms increased his strength by 135%. In other words, at this moment, under the 22 Overlapping Wave Palms, Wang Chen could display a strength of 16200 kilograms! A strength that surpassed a rank two Martial Artist.
Coupled with the control of his strength, he could display 70% of his actual strength. The current Wang Chen should have the strength to fight a rank three Martial Artist. In terms of strength, he had the chance to compete with a rank four Martial Artist!
If he added on the 1.2 times increase after opening the Door of Opening, then he had the chance to defeat a rank three Martial Artist and compete with a rank four Martial Artist.
Of course, this was on the premise that the other party did not have good control over their strength. As for those Martial Artists who had mastered the method to control their strength, Wang Chen could only avoid them! After all, compared to a True Martial Artist, a Martial Artist's strength had increased by a lot in all aspects.
Thinking of all this, Wang Chen's heart revealed a trace of joy!
"Hmm, kid, not bad, but don't underestimate Martial Artists. The difference of one rank is not as simple as you think. How strong is your body now? "Lin Zhan, who was at the side, came in front of Wang Chen and asked with a smile.
"My body should have reached six thousand kilograms!" Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen said excitedly.
Body strength was the pure defense of a person's body.
An ordinary rank nine True Martial Artist's body strength was at most a little more than three thousand kilograms, but Wang Chen had reached the level of six thousand kilograms.
This was equivalent to Wang Chen standing in the same place, allowing a rank four True Martial Artist to attack him with all their strength without being injured at all, and a rank five True Martial Artist would not be able to hurt him.
Of course, the Star Body Tempering occupied the main role. With the third layer of his physical body, his defense could directly reach five thousand kilograms of strength. Coupled with the effect of the Emperor Dragon Technique and the overbearing cultivation method, it also strengthened Wang Chen's physical defense.
With these two effects, Wang Chen had reached a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people. This kind of physical strength was already comparable to the physical strength of a high-rank Martial Artist or even a beginner Honourable Martial Artist.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad! Hahaha … kid, cultivate well. It has been more than two months since you came in, hmm … in the remaining month, you have to reach Qing Yun Town in front of you to replenish and at the same time, try to improve your strength!
The Heavenly Spirit Fruit can almost be used. When you reach the peak of a rank nine True Martial Artist and feel the bottleneck, I can directly send you to the ranks of Martial Artists! "
Wang Chen's words made Lin Zhan ponder for a long time before saying.
The Heavenly Spirit Fruit, such a rare and precious thing, could not be forgotten! This was the reward that Wang Chen received from Tai Yun Song for his outstanding performance in the inner sect selection!
A Heavenly Spirit Fruit could send anyone to the ranks of Martial Artists. If it was an ordinary person, they might have used it long ago. After all, under the effect of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, it could help a True Martial Artist greatly improve their cultivation speed, thus reducing a lot of time and rushing to the ranks of Martial Artists.
Lin Zhan naturally had his reasons for not letting Wang Chen use it at the beginning! Using the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in advance could certainly shorten Wang Chen's cultivation cycle, perhaps he would already be a rank one Martial Artist now.
However, a True Martial Artist was the time to build a foundation. Such an improvement would obviously not bring too many benefits and would make his foundation not solid enough.
Only when he became a rank nine True Martial Artist would he be able to unleash the best effect. Since the amount of energy was the same, Wang Chen would not be at a disadvantage at all!
This was the use of experience. With experience, Lin Zhan once again helped Wang Chen avoid taking a detour.
"Mm, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit!" Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Wang Chen nodded his head heavily, a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Martial Artist, he did not think that he would see the edge of becoming a Martial Artist so soon. This was something that he could not imagine in the past.
When he was in Qingfeng City, Martial Artists were so high up and inviolable in their eyes. The reason why the Han Family could become one of the Three Great Clans in Qingfeng City and was so powerful, was it not because they had a few Martial Artists in their family?
Thinking about this, Wang Chen's eyes were filled with determination. Strength was the way to go. He did not forget the humiliation he suffered previously, he did not forget that he almost lost his life during the Han Family Competition, he did not forget the hatred he had for his family, and he did not give up on the revival of his family.
"Alright, kid, it's time to go!" Lin Zhan reminded him.
Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Wang Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of regret. Looking around, he sighed and walked forward.
In the 71 days that he had been in the Thorny Mountains, he had fought countless battles and experienced too many things, causing Wang Chen to grow a lot.
On this side, he met batch after batch of Adventurers. He did not know how many batches of Adventurers that entered the Thorny Mountains with him, or how many times they had entered and exited the Thorny Mountains, but he had never left.
At this moment, it was early in the morning. Today, another batch of Adventurers would step into this hellish forest.
Just as Wang Chen had expected, another group of people set off on their adventurous journey in the face of the rising sun.
At this moment, at the edge of the Thorny Mountains, a group of 20 to 30 people were heading towards the Thorny Mountains. This was definitely a large group. It was so large that it was impossible not to notice them.
"Leader, I say, that kid couldn't have died in there, right? Damn it, we've been in the Thorny Mountains for two months, and we've entered and exited six times! From Star-Moon City to this desolate little village, damn it, I can't even see a trace of that kid! "A youth in his late twenties couldn't help but complain.
"If he's alive, we want to see him. If he's dead, we want to see his corpse. Even if it's bones, we have to pick them up. Don't forget our Patriarch's orders!"
"Hey, I hope we can find him this time. Damn this Thorny Mountains, we've already lost two Stage 9 True Martial Brothers. I also don't know why your Luo Family is spending so much effort to find him! "The youth continued to complain.
