Chapter 3: Cultivation Improvement
Only Luo Xiu himself knew what was going on.
According to the theory, his cultivation was lower than Zhang Hao's, his internal energy was not as good as his opponent's, and his martial arts were not as good as Zhang Hao's, but after his first-grade technique was improved and upgraded, it was equivalent to upgrading the level of the technique he practiced, reaching the second grade, or even stronger than the second grade.
So even if it was a head-on collision, his internal energy was not much weaker than Zhang Hao's.
Moreover, after fusing the Life and Death Pearl, Luo Xiu also had an ability, that is, his attack could actually directly damage the opponent's life veins!
The two polar qi of life and death, the life qi can nourish and repair the life veins, while the death qi can damage and destroy the life veins.
Luo Xiu's internal energy can switch between the two polarities of life and death.
This phenomenon is simply incredible, so Zhang Hao's five fingers were broken after the seemingly powerful iron eagle claw collided with Luo Xiu's fist.
Injury will cause damage to the life veins. On the contrary, if the life veins are directly damaged, it will be manifested in the body in the form of some kind of injury.
"Bang!"
Luo Xiu stepped on the ground, causing dust to fly, and unleashed his Bull Fist. He was like an angry bull, moving forward with great momentum.
The broken phalanx of his right hand made Zhang Hao lose his composure, and he retreated in shock and anger.
"Get out!"
Luo Xiu kicked Zhang Hao in the chest, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
"Crack!"
Another sound of bone fractures was heard, and Zhang Hao's ribs were broken. He fell to the ground, unable to believe how things could turn out like this.
Just yesterday, he led a group of people to beat Luo Xiu severely, but today, everything was reversed.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"
The screams echoed in the martial arts arena one after another, and the martial arts students around were stunned, silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
"Oh my god, am I really blind?"
"Is this man really Luo Xiu? He knocked down Li Hai, Wang Ping, and Zhang Hao?"
Suddenly, many martial arts students in the martial arts arena were in an uproar, and everyone was shocked and looked strange.
One of Li Hai's arms was twisted into a knot, the bones were dislocated, and the meridians were damaged.
Wang Ping's chest ribs were broken, and he fainted on the spot.
Zhang Hao was more seriously injured, with all five fingers of his right hand broken and two ribs broken.
They had been beating others since they were young, but today, in front of many martial arts students in the martial arts arena, the three of them were knocked to the ground.
What they couldn't accept the most was that the guy who knocked them down and lost face in front of many martial arts students and felt humiliated was actually a pariah who was beaten by them yesterday!
"Little beast, you dare to hit me, you're dead!" The pain in his body made Zhang Hao's face become hideous, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"You still dare to be stubborn? I said I will beat you so hard that even your mother can't recognize you, and I will never let your father recognize you!" Luo Xiu snorted coldly and stepped forward to kick him again.
"Are you a lowly person like you who are worthy of competing with me? I will definitely make you pay the price!" Zhang Hao said with resentment.
"You still dare to threaten me?" Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he stepped on Zhang Hao's left wrist. With another click, the wrist bone broke.
This time, coupled with the original injury, Zhang Hao's eyes turned black and he fainted on the spot.
"This Zhang Hao is used to being arrogant because of his superior family background. He will definitely take revenge on me after being beaten up by me today."
It is refreshing to vent his anger, but Luo Xiu will naturally think about the consequences of doing so.
However, Luo Xiu has nothing to fear. As long as his cultivation strength is rapidly improved, he will definitely be valued and cultivated by the Martial Palace. At that time, even the Zhang family will not dare to go against the Martial Palace.
Because everyone in Yunlong County knows that behind the Martial Palaces in major cities is the Xiaoyao Gate.
Among the three palaces, six sects and thirteen sects, Xiaoyao Sect is one of the thirteen sects. In the land of Yunlong County, it is definitely the undisputed dominant force!
After beating Zhang Hao severely, many martial arts students in the martial arts field looked at Luo Xiu as if they were looking at a monster.
"How is this possible? Zhang Hao is in the fourth level of body training, tempering tendons and bones, while Luo Xiu is only in the second level of body training."
"It seems that Luo Xiu defeated Zhang Hao with two moves..."
Everyone was stunned, with a look of disbelief, watching Luo Xiu's figure gradually go away.
...
The martial arts hall is very large, and each student has an independent residence. Luo Xiu returned to his room, and some excitement gradually cooled down.
"It's just that I defeated a mere Zhang Hao. I can't be proud of it. It seems that Zhang Hao has a brother who is a student in the intermediate class of the Martial Hall. His cultivation is at least above the fifth level of physical training."
There are three classes of students in the Martial Hall. The elementary class is for those aged 10 to 13, the intermediate class is for those aged 14 to 16, and the advanced class is for those aged 17 to 18.
Most students in the elementary class are at the first to fourth level of physical training, while the students in the intermediate class are at least at the fifth level of physical training. If they fail to reach the fifth level of physical training within the age limit, they will not be held back, but will be directly expelled from the Martial Hall.
As for students in the advanced class, they are limited to the eighth level of body refining. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will also be expelled from the martial arts hall.
Luo Xiu is thirteen years old this year. If he continues to practice at his previous speed, he will definitely not be able to reach the fifth level of body refining before the age of fourteen. Once he is expelled from the martial arts hall, he will not only be ridiculed and mocked, but also disappoint his parents who have emptied their family savings for his martial arts training!
"In three months, the annual assessment will begin. I must reach the fifth level of body refining and pass the assessment!" Luo Xiu set the first goal of practice for himself.
During the practice, time passed unknowingly. During this period, Luo Xiu did not leave the house and prepared dry food and water in advance. He practiced hard without sleep.
After Zhang Hao's brother Zhang Hai learned about this, he always wanted to make trouble for Luo Xiu, but the martial arts hall had a rule that students' residences were not allowed to be barged in, otherwise they would be severely punished.
Because for martial artists, the most taboo in closed-door practice is to be disturbed. No one dares not to abide by the rules of the martial arts hall. Even some students with extraordinary family backgrounds will not be tolerated by the martial arts hall, because there have been similar precedents a long time ago.
There was once a prosperous family in Qingyun City. The young master of the family suffered a loss in a fight with someone in the Martial Hall, so he took a group of people to break into the other party's residence while the other party was practicing, causing the student to go crazy and die.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Martial Hall. In just three days, the prosperous family was completely expelled from Qingyun City!
During the period of retreat, Luo Xiu could clearly feel the changes in his body. By breathing in the vitality of heaven and earth, he condensed the life and death polarity in his body. His physique was constantly improving, and the speed of practice was many times faster than before.
His body was like a bottomless pit. On the second day of retreat, he broke through to the third level of body refining, and then began to refine tendons and bones, moving towards the fourth level of body refining!
Five days later, Luo Xiu's strength was promoted again, and he became a martial artist in the fourth level of body refining.
After reaching the fourth level of body refining, Luo Xiu found that even the improved first-grade exercises had a much weaker effect of practice, and no longer progressed as fast as before.
After all, the foundation of the first-grade martial arts is too poor and its plasticity is limited.
"According to the rules of the Martial Hall, martial artists who have reached the fourth level of body refining are eligible to enter the collection of hundreds of thousands of # ^^ novels and select second-grade martial arts!"
One day, Luo Xiu walked out of his room. He wanted to improve his cultivation faster, so he needed a higher-quality martial art.
"Untouchable, you finally dare to come out!"
As soon as he came out of the room, Luo Xiu saw a young man in brocade clothes staring at him fiercely.
"Where did the beast come from to bite people here?"
Luo Xiu didn't know the other person at all, but this man kept calling him an untouchable. No matter how well-educated a person is, he can't help but get angry.
"You dare to scold me?" The young man in brocade clothes looked cold, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"You can call me an untouchable, why can't I call you an animal? Do you think you are a child of destiny and born superior to others?" Luo Xiu sneered.
The young man in brocade clothes was even more murderous, "You are very brave, but for a low-class person like you, the braver you are, the faster you die!"
Luo Xiu didn't take it seriously and sneered, "Your brother was defeated by the low-class person you mentioned and was trampled underfoot, so what is your brother? As his brother, what are you?"
"You are looking for death!" A faint light flashed on the young man in brocade clothes, and a pressure rushed towards Luo Xiu.
The internal energy is glowing, which is the performance of a martial artist who has reached the seventh level of body refining. The internal energy is pure and strong.
Just as Luo Xiu guessed, this young man in brocade clothes is Zhang Hao's brother Zhang Hai, who was originally an outstanding figure among the second-year students, and now he has reached the seventh level of body refining!
Luo Xiu's eyes were stern. The martial artist of the seventh level of body refining was still a bit tricky for him, but if they really fought, he would not be afraid with the means that could directly damage the life veins.
The movement here also attracted many people, who gathered not far away and pointed.
"That person seems to be Zhang Hao's brother Zhang Hai. He just radiated the light of internal energy, which means that he is already a martial artist of the seventh level of body refining!"
"I heard that martial artists of the seventh level of body refining are eligible to enter the Tibetan Bai~Wan # ^^ novels to select third-grade martial arts. I am so envious."
"A few days ago, Luo Xiu injured Zhang Hao. Zhang Hai personally took action. Luo Xiu is in big trouble."
The discussion of the crowd was nothing more than marveling at Zhang Hai's strength. As for Luo Xiu, although he defeated Zhang Hao and others a few days ago, those opponents were not at the same level as Zhang Hai.
"Let's do it!"
When everyone saw the light of internal energy radiating from Zhang Hai, they knew very well that this was the embodiment of a martial artist of the seventh level of body refining who had circulated his internal energy to the extreme.
"You crippled my brother's two hands and broke two of his ribs. I will cripple your limbs and break all your ribs!" Zhang Hai sneered. The martial arts hall has a rule that you cannot kill people, but as long as this kid is crippled, a useless person who can't practice martial arts is destined to be expelled. When he leaves the martial arts hall, with the Zhang family's means, it will be as easy to kill a pariah as drinking water.
