Chapter 8 I Live on My Own Merits

"Ouch.

Xiao Yan, who was "violently beaten" by Yao Lao, rubbed his head and secretly thought that there was indeed something wrong with this "old ghost". His soul could actually materialize and beat himself. No wonder he could sneeze.

"Teacher, this strange fire is very rare. If I can't find the strange fire after practicing the Burning Technique, won't I be able to practice only a yellow level skill forever?" Xiao Yan asked what he was worried about.

Although Yao Lao didn't show him the Burning Technique, he couldn't stand his questioning and still told him some information, such as the material required for the technique: strange fire.

Although there have been some changes in the three-year agreement, it still exists after all.

Xiao Yan knew that if he wanted to defeat Nalan Yanran, he couldn't take the ordinary path.

"As a teacher, naturally I won't let you fight an unprepared battle." Yao Lao smiled calmly and explained slowly.

On the other side, Xiao Zhan and the four of them discussed it and decided to mobilize family resources to purchase the medicinal materials needed to refine the foundation-building liquid and the three-grain green spirit pill.

As a result, all members of the Xiao family will have a hard time, but as long as the four of them improve their strength, they can strive for greater benefits in Wutan City, City, and other areas, and even develop beyond Wutan City.

Xiao Yan needs to be trained intensively. As long as he can become an alchemist and have a fourth-grade alchemist as his backer, the Xiao family will be invincible.

After the discussion, Xiao Zhan suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Yuan: "Yuan'er, you want the Three Marks Qingling Pill. Could it be that you have reached the peak of Dou Shi?"

Before coming to see Zhang Yuan, he saw the small group of black armored guards he brought back.

In the Jia Ma Empire, there are strict regulations for the promotion of military personnel, and strength and military merit are indispensable.

If you want to become a general who is honored by the imperial royal family, you must have sufficient merits and the ability to fight against the emperor, such as the former founder of the Mu family, one of the three major families in the Jiama Empire.

If you want to become the leader of a party, you must have the fighting power of a king. At that time, you can sit in a major city fortress or be the lord of a big city, with at least 10,000 people under your command, who can be led by the commander.

The commander must have fighting spirit strength, a captain under his command, who must have at least a great fighting master fighting strength, a captain under his command, who must have at least a fighting master fighting strength, and a small team under his command.

If you are not strong enough but have enough meritorious service, you will be given an honorary title but cannot be promoted to military rank.

The Black Armored Guard where Zhang Yuan is located was built by a powerful Nine-Star Dou Ling. He has a deputy commander of Dou King Three Stars under his command, commanding the four battalions of Xuanhuang and Tiandi Xuanhuang. The commanders of the four battalions are all powerful in the late Dou Ling period (seven-star to nine-star). Each commander has five divisions under his command. The captains of the five divisions are all strong men in the middle and late stages of the Great Dou Division. Each commander has five divisions under his command. Each division has a hundred people and is led by a division captain.

Those black-armored guards called Zhang Yuan captain, and Xiao Zhan knew that his nephew was already a fighting master, and at least in the middle stage.

Now it seems that it is actually the later stage! ?

"Luckily, it reached its peak a few days ago." Zhang Yuan released his breath.

"Okay!" Xiao Zhan and the other four were overjoyed.

Judging from the aura, it is indeed the peak of Dou Shi, and it is extremely solid.

A sixteen-year-old peak fighting master. Not to mention the Xiao family, there are very few such figures in the history of the Jiama Empire, at least he has the appearance of a fighting emperor.

He has the posture of a fighting emperor, or at least the posture of a fighting king, and he can also be an alchemist.

The rise of their Xiao family is just around the corner.

"Before that, Yu'er or Mei'er must be married to Yuan'er, and the relationship between him and the Xiao family will be even closer." The eldest elder thought secretly.

Xiao Zhan was 100% assured of Zhang Yuan and did not have so many thoughts. He said in an excited tone: "I will first collect the medicinal materials that can be used to refine two three-marked Qingling Pills, and let the adult refine them for you to help you." Become a great fighter."

It is not difficult for a sixteen-year-old great fighting master to challenge the fighting spirit within five years, and he can try to fight against the king within ten years.

"Sorry to trouble you, uncle." Zhang Yuan smiled heartily and was not polite to Xiao Zhan.

Although he was a top fighting master, he had a record of killing great fighting masters. Even if Xiao Zhan were fighting with his life now, it would definitely not be him who died.

If his combat achievements were not less than that of a senior battle master, he would now be the captain of the Black Armored Guard, not the captain.

However, as long as he breaks through the Great Fighter, the opponent will no longer be able to compete with him.

"Don't be polite to me." After patting Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, Xiao Zhan quickly left with the three elders.

When they couldn't see their backs, Zhang Yuan turned to look somewhere and said with a smile: "They are all gone. Xun'er, why don't you come out?"

At the corner, a girl wearing a purple dress walked out. Her waist was so slender that she could hold it in her hand, and three thousand blue hairs were casually draped to her waist. She had an aloof temperament.

This is the white moonlight in the minds of countless men. At this moment, there is a faint smile on his face, and there is a little resentment in his eyes.

"Xun'er, long time no see, I miss you so much." Zhang Yuan looked at Keren affectionately.

The girl's nose wrinkled slightly and she said softly: "Brother Zhang Yuan, do you really want Xun'er?"

"Brother Wei rarely writes letters to his family, but he never fails to write a letter to Xun'er every month." Zhang Yuan said.

He was not a copper smelter, and he had no thoughts about Xiao Xun'er when he was a child. He just stopped Xiao Yan from committing a crime.

But the feelings of childhood sweethearts are like the trickling water. You don't care about it at first, but unknowingly it gathers into a pond, full of feelings.

The girl had just grown up and had a crush on him. Of course, he would not be pretentious, so he imitated some senior time travellers and wrote letters to pick up girls, with great results.

"You are also a scoundrel." Thinking of some of the contents of the letter home, a blush appeared on Xun'er's pretty face.

Some of the straightforward poems made her feel hot every time she thought about them, but she really liked them. She often looked at the bright moon and missed her sweetheart.

Now that they finally met again, she tried very hard to be reserved and did not take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

"When will Brother Zhang Yuan leave this time?" Xun'er asked with her hands behind her back and her head tilted.

"I still have military duties to attend to. This time I came back because I was transferred through Wutan City, so I came back to take a look. But I must return to the barracks within five days. If I want to take a long vacation, it will take some time." Zhang Yuan took the initiative to reach out and grab Xun'er's soft hand.

The girl just struggled symbolically and let the other party grab her.

"I haven't been back for two years. Xun'er, are you willing to take me around?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Xun'er shook her hair and looked at her hand and said, "Can Xun'er refuse?"

"Of course not." Zhang Yuan denied domineeringly.

He took Xun'er's hand and strolled around the Xiao family.

The place where he had lived for thirteen years would naturally not be unfamiliar because he had been away for two years.

The two held hands and met many acquaintances on the way, and they would stop and chat for a few words.

The golden boy and the jade girl are a perfect match, just like they were back then, making people feel that they are a perfect match, which makes countless young men and women feel sad.

After an unknown period of time, the two came to the cliff of the back mountain, watching the clouds rolling in the distance, and felt a rare peace in their hearts.

"Xun'er, this is for you. You can take a look when you miss me." Zhang Yuan took out a bracelet and gave it to Xun'er.

This is the magic core of a third-level magic beast flamingo that he hunted. People with fire attribute fighting spirit can increase their cultivation speed by wearing it.

For Xun'er's identity, this is just a small gadget, but it is a rare treasure in the Xiao family.

Zhang Yuan's gift is absolutely sincere.

"Thank you, brother Zhang Yuan." Xun'er happily accepted the bracelet and wore it directly on her hand.

"Does it look good?" Xun'er raised her wrist and asked.

"It looks good, the bracelet is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful." Zhang Yuan praised sincerely.

Xun'er smiled softly, turned her wrist and took out a scroll and handed it to Zhang Yuan, saying nervously: "It's impolite not to reciprocate. Brother Zhang Yuan, you won't refuse Xun'er's gift, right?"

Zhang Yuan opened the scroll and glanced at it, his pupils shrank slightly.

This turned out to be a low-level earth-level thunder attribute technique, called Tianlei Jue, which is compatible with all thunder attribute fighting qi techniques, which means that he can now directly switch to practice.

If the news of this technique spreads, the entire Jiama Empire and even the surrounding empires will riot.

It can only be said that she is worthy of being the first white, rich and beautiful woman in the fighting qi continent.

"Thank you, Xun'er." Zhang Yuan accepted the technique.

Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief, with surprise in her beautiful eyes, and chuckled: "I thought you would refuse, Brother Zhang Yuan."

"I really want to refuse." Zhang Yuan said seriously: "As a man who wants to save face and self-esteem, I don't want to be favored by women, but I know that you are not an ordinary person, Xun'er. The fact that you can take out the earth-level skills so casually proves this point."

"To be worthy of you, I used to think that I should at least become a Dou Zong, but now it seems that even becoming a Dou Zun may not be enough."

"In this case, I will naturally seize every opportunity to become stronger, even if the opportunity comes from you."

"Compared to others saying that I rely on women, I am more afraid that I will lose you one day in the future, Xun'er."

Zhang Yuan looked at Xun'er, his tone serious and affectionate.

"Brother Zhang Yuan."

Xun'er let go of her reserve and threw herself into Zhang Yuan's arms.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth.

Just kidding, I eat soft rice with my own ability, why should I be embarrassed?

Super cool!
