Chapter 104: Clan Entry Examination (Part 2)

Wow~

In the large vat, the iron sand stirred like a whirlpool, and Li Yuan was immersed in it, constantly pushing his body forward, using violent friction to fight against the unbearable numbness.

Gradually, the numbness receded.

But before he could take a breath, Li Yuan groaned to himself again.

The change started from the soles of his feet. He felt as if he had stepped on red-hot molten iron. The heat spread to his calves, giving him a terrifying illusion that his legs and feet were melting.

"So fierce?!"

Li Yuan's tightly closed eyelids were twitching, and the intense heat spread violently throughout his body after spinning his legs and feet for dozens of times.

"ah!"

Li Yuan couldn't hold it back and almost broke his teeth. After it was boiling, there was a wave of intense numbness that he had never experienced before.

From toes to head, head to toe.

This terrifying numbness reminded Li Yuan of a kind of torture he had heard of in his previous life, in which his own scalp was cut open and mercury was poured into it.

Even though he had gone through many bone changes, he still couldn't hold back and almost lost his strength.

"Hold it!"

Li Yuan gritted his teeth.

His movements were getting faster and faster, and the iron sand in the special vat was rubbing like crazy until it turned red and hot. However, the numbness was not relieved, but became more and more intense!

Stab it, sting it~

The iron sand rubbed against his skin, making an oozing sound. Li Yuan felt like a big fish whose scales were cut off by being pinned to an iron plate.

The numbness and itch turned into severe pain that made his eyes darken, and he almost fainted.

"Just a little bit closer!"

Li Yuan almost bit off his tongue. The severe pain made him wake up briefly. He knew that he had reached the final step of the transformation of 'Fish Skin'.

boom!

I don't know how long it took, but the vat suddenly burst. Li Yuan was nailed to the ground, and his skin was so red that it turned purple.

Under the skin, the veins grow from small to large.

Feet, calves, thighs, waist and abdomen, back, neck, arms...

The drastic change seemed to have happened the moment he stamped his foot. His whole body expanded as if he was blowing air, and his height of 1.8 meters soared to more than 2.2 meters!

The blackened tendons were still trembling, and the teeth-searing sound of bone friction could be heard through the body...

"Ape's arms and wasp's waist, lion's neck, harrier's steps, tiger's back and bear's waist, snake's body and python's tendons..."

The numbness and pain instantly subsided, replaced by the sudden drop of the heavy shackles that seemed to have been carried for a lifetime. The intense pleasure made Li Yuan feel as if he had been electrocuted, and his scalp was numb!

Roar!

Howl!

Phew!

At this moment, Li Yuan seemed to hear the roar of apes, the roar of tigers, and the roar of all beasts.

At the moment when the nine shapes were assembled, the previous bone changes seemed to be connected in series, erupting with a power that shocked him.

In comparison, he looked like a seriously ill and dying man before, wearing heavy shackles and a living dead!

boom!

Li Yuan exerted force under his feet, and when the earth and rocks exploded, they bounced on the ground. With just one jump, it was as high as a three-story restaurant facing the street!

Jump more than ten meters on flat ground!

Kakakka~

Li Yuan stretched out his arms, and his muscles and bones were stirring like bow strings. When he landed on the ground, all the bluestones paved in the small courtyard were trampled through by his feet.

Without any inner strength, I stepped through the bluestone!

"It's done!"

Smoke and dust billowed, and Li Yuan's figure shrank back to its original state. He shook his hands and feet slightly, and the muscles all over his body surged like waves. He did not feel any consumption of energy when conveying his strength.

He took out the dagger and swung it with normal force. It felt like cutting rubber, and its elasticity and toughness increased countless times!

"No, there's still pressure to unload!"

Li Yuan made a powerful stroke, and the moment the force reached his body, more than half of it was removed, as if he was wearing thick fish scale armor.

"The seven-star horizontal body training is finally completed! But the bigger change comes from gathering the nine shapes..."

Flexing and stretching his five fingers, Li Yuan almost wanted to look up to the sky and scream.

The transformation of the nine shapes was far from comparable to that of the six shapes. It was not until this moment that he knew why the nine shapes were called dragon shapes.

This change was like a snake transforming into a dragon, so clear and intense that his whole body felt numb.

The strength of the bear and tiger, the speed of the hummingbird, the flexibility of the snake...

Perfect!

Apart from this word, he had no other words to describe himself today.

"Comparing those born with nine shapes to the middle and lower root bones, no, there is no need to compare, they don't look like the same species at all!"

Li Yuan was deeply shocked and felt how different the world was.

His muscles, bones, skin, and membranes are all unchanged, and all the strength in his body is flowing smoothly, and his instinct is better than the penetration of Liuhe.

Once those geniuses who are born with dragon shapes practice martial arts, their inner strength is almost within reach, and the gap between them and the warriors with middle and lower bones...

"It's bigger than the gap between humans and dogs!"

Li Yuan had an extremely strong impulse and wanted to find a master to show off.

But he still restrained himself and just clenched his fists and waved them in the air a few times because he suddenly thought of Han Chuijun.

If Lao Han already had nine forms when he started, in the past sixty or seventy years, if he didn't have one hundred forms, it would probably be about the same, right?

"Old Han, I'm afraid it's more terrifying than imagined..."

Li Yuan was startled, his anxiety subsided, he washed himself hastily, and then lay back in the room.

Just let go and watch the little mouse, and you will fall asleep with joy and satisfaction.

When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the third day.

"Brother Li, it's time to go!"

Today is the day when the gate of Shenbing Valley opens wide.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and felt that his energy was so strong that it was exploding. All the soreness, numbness and sleepiness seemed as if they had never existed.

After stretching a little, there was a "crackling" sound of muscles and bones exploding all over his body.

After the nine forms were changed, the seven-star horizontal training was slightly improved. Various martial arts seemed to have taken a small step forward out of thin air, and several internal strengths increased greatly.

Only the body tempering did not progress but regressed, as if it had just reached the point of breakthrough.

But he knew very well that his body tempering progress had not decreased, but...

"The nine forms are the dragon form. My limit has been raised a lot... Now, my own strength, speed, and flexibility have all surpassed the internal warriors like Cao Yan."

With the four heavy soldiers, not to mention the change of form, can they fight with the elite disciples of the big sects like Sha Pingying and Fang Yunxiu?

"Brother Li, you, what are you doing?"

Outside the road, Liu Zheng was carrying a dozen buns and various cooked meats. When he saw Li Yuan coming out, he was immediately shocked.

Wang Peiyao, Wu Ming, Yue Yunjin and others were also surprised.

Compared with a month ago, Li Yuan now seems to have no changes in body shape and facial features, but in their perception, it seems like a different person!

"It's just a small breakthrough in martial arts, is it that obvious?"

Li Yuan was in a good mood and didn't hide his changes too much. After all, touching bones is the first step to get started, and he didn't think of hiding it.

In the past month, he has carefully studied the Divine Weapon Valley, a force that has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and the hierarchy is much stricter than the Weapon Forging Shop.

It takes several years for menial disciples to enter the outer sect, and the same is true for outer sects to enter the inner sect. For inner sect disciples, it often takes several years to get the true teachings.

It can't be a surprise. He may not be able to learn the core part of the military way fighting hammer in ten years, let alone going in and out of the forbidden area to find the sea-breaking black whale hammer.

He wants to make a surprise this time!

"Breakthrough? Li, Brother Li, you, you have developed internal strength?!"

Liu Zheng stared, and the others were also shocked.

Especially Yue Yunjin and Wu Ming, they were even more confused. Before the end of last year, his blood and qi were not even a small success!

It's only been a year, and he has developed internal strength? !

"Stop being in a daze, let's go."

Li Yuan took the bun from Liu Zheng's hand, smiled and got on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and Wang Peiyao followed without hesitation.

"Go!"

...

On the seventh day of March, the sky was clear.

From the outside of Zhelong Prefecture to the gate of Shenbing Valley, a long queue of more than 20 miles of official road had been formed, and thousands of people gathered here. The noise could be heard from a few miles away.

The carriage was still seven or eight miles away from the gate and could no longer go forward.

Li Yuan and others got off the carriage and saw a sea of ​​people, with no end in sight.

"This, so many people?"

Yue Yunjin was a little stuttering.

"Impossible! As far as I know, the number of places for the assessment of Shenbing Valley in the prefecture city this time is 1,300, and the counties and prefectures add up to 700 people, a total of only 2,000 people, how can there be so many?"

Wang Peiyao immediately shook her head: "There are more people watching the excitement, right?"

Without the carriage, the few people walked very fast, passing through the crowded and noisy crowd, Li Yuan saw the gate of Shenbing Valley.

Towering mountains stand tall, with lush green vegetation. Looking from afar, wisps of green smoke can be seen rising from the mountainside.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the black light column.

…

On the bank of the Grand Canal, at the foot of Shenbing Mountain, on a huge open space of several miles in radius, hundreds of Shenbing Valley disciples stood with their hands down, and a powerful aura spread, stopping the noise nearby.

Rough wood was used to build wooden frames, and at the foot of the mountain, there was a wooden platform seven or eight meters high, with many people standing or sitting on it.

"There are so many masters!"

Wang Peiyao held a booklet and kept looking around, muttering:

"Shao Fangbai, Gan Wu, Tong Jincheng... are all here. It's true. I heard that Gongyang Valley Master hates people being late the most. If you can't call your name, you will lose your qualification immediately."

Li Yuan glanced at her. The more nervous she was, the more she talked.

Yue Yunjin, Liu Zheng and others had heavy faces, rapid breathing, and were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

The Divine Weapon Valley opened its gates for the first time in decades. If you fail to enter, you will never have a chance in the future.

"Are those the Divine Guards?"

Li Yuan saw the big man wearing black full body armor holding a knife and a gun in front of the disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley.

The Great Fortune banned crossbow armor, but large sects like the Divine Weapon Valley were not banned. The first sect of a prefecture had 300 quotas for armor, and those who could wear armor were all elite among the elite.

Li Yuan was very curious about the control effect of heavy armor, but he was too far away and it was not easy to get close, so he could only hold back for the time being.

He looked around.

As Wang Peiyao said, Shao Fangbai and other geniuses who have become famous recently arrived early, but they came a little late.

"Silence!"

The armored man stepped forward and his voice was like thunder, echoing for several miles.

"Lion Roar?"

"The inner strength is strong, and the blood is vigorous!"

When the big man opened his mouth, there was a commotion on the open ground, and then you could hear a pin drop. Wang Peiyao, who was a chatterbox, shut up.

Shao Fangbai's expression changed a little. The big man's voice was too powerful.

"This internal energy is too strong."

Li Yuan pinched his throat, and the nine forms were gathered together. His control of strength became more and more subtle, but he estimated that this roar would not work.

This is not only an internal force explosion, but also a martial art.

"When fighting with others, suddenly there is such a roar..."

Li Yuan muttered in his heart, but did not speak, restraining his thoughts and waiting for the test to begin.

...

On the high platform, Han Chuijun sat upright, slightly tilted his head, and looked at the old man with a black iron face and white hair and beard beside him:

"The last time our valley was so lively was more than sixty years ago, right?"

"Seventy-two years!"

To the left of the white-haired old man, a long-faced old man dressed in brocade corrected him lightly:

"Elder Han, have you even forgotten the time when you entered the sect?"

"Time is unforgiving. Seventy-two years have passed in a flash."

Glancing at the long-faced old man, Han Chuijun sighed:

"As the saying goes, it is rare for a person to live past a hundred and twenty. How old is Uncle Qiu?"

The old man's name is Qiu Zhengxiong. He is the spear master of the inner sect and is proficient in the 'Lichen Jiuyin Spear'. He entered the sect before him and is now the oldest person in the Divine Weapon Valley.

"Old Han!"

Elder Ku Yue, who was dressed as a monk, frowned slightly, while the bruised old men behind Qiu Zhengxiong glared at him:

"Valley Master, Han Chuijun..."

Bang!

Gong Yangyu raised his hand and pressed Han Chuijun's palm:

"Junior Brother Han, are you still going to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

"Presumptuous?"

Han Chuijun raised his eyelids slightly:

"Senior Brother's internal energy is getting more and more powerful."

"If you were not obsessed with the hundred forms, you might have already opened up the hundred meridians."

Gong Yangyu put down his hand.

"The Valley Master is too obsessed with the realm. For warriors like me, great strength and fast speed are enough. It's no problem to open up the meridians sooner or later?"

Han Chuijun didn't care, but instead had a hidden expectation:

"Speaking of which, we brothers haven't fought for many years. Now that the matter is over, why not give it a try?"

"Han Chuijun!"

Qiu Zhengxiong's face sank:

"The Valley Master has just come out of retreat, and his realm is not yet solid. What are you going to do?"

"Uncle Qiu, you should be thankful that you personally recruited me 72 years ago..."

Han Chuijun's eyes were slightly cold.

"If I had known this earlier, I would never accept you even if you starved to death in the wilderness!"

"Enough!"

Gong Yangyu frowned and glanced at the people on the stage:

"In recent years, Zhelong has been quite turbulent. At this time, if anyone dares to be presumptuous again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Everyone bowed their heads except Han Chuijun wherever he looked. Han Chuijun frowned slightly and also bowed his head slightly.

"Inside and outside the sect, who else is really presumptuous except Han Chuijun? He was a envoy to find heroes and killed thousands of people. He is too vicious and not righteous!"

Qiu Zhengxiong's face was as dark as water, and he counted Han Chuijun's crimes:

"This time when he returned to the mountain, he injured more than a dozen fellow disciples in succession! He is so presumptuous. If he is not disciplined, I am afraid he will even dare to destroy the gate of my Shenbing Valley?!"

Han Chuijun had no expression on his face and pretended not to hear.

"You recruited him, why don't you deal with him?"

Gong Yangyu's face was slightly gloomy.

"Will Uncle Qiu give me some personal guidance?"

Han Chuijun's eyes lit up.

"Hmph!"

Qiu Zhengxiong's face turned red, and he groaned and stopped talking. The old men behind him also shut up and looked away.

"It's getting late, let's start the assessment now!"

Gong Yangyu looked at the sky and slowly said:

"Junior Brother Han, I heard that you found two disciples with good talents, let's start with them!"

Eight thousand words, monthly votes required!
