the next day.

Li Xuanzu and his companions were resting in an inn.

Li Xuanzu had his eye on this inn as early as yesterday.

Although the place is somewhat dilapidated, it still has all the necessary daily necessities, and the indoor environment is relatively clean, not as dirty as I had imagined.

It's estimated that there are still people living inside, but their fate is unlikely to be good; the dried bloodstains everywhere are no different from suicide notes.

Poor Big Black doesn't need to sleep. Since it woke up, it has taken on all the troublesome tasks, such as keeping watch and driving.

Even when conditions allow, it still cooks.

The advantage is that any spirit cores that can be used for mental attacks will be given to Dahei by Li Xuanzu as snacks.

Anyway, it's quite curious about human things, so it's a good way to cultivate its interests and hobbies.

It was quite happy with that.

Even though the sun was high in the sky, Li Xuanzu and his companions still did not leave the inn.

He was browsing forums on his phone, taking the opportunity to observe the recent situation in China.

Fu Yu went to practice the secret techniques Li Xuanzu had given her, and Qian Li even joined her in the training.

For this reason, Fu Yu got up very early.

Of course, she didn't get up herself; she told Big Black to wake her up.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get up on her own; she'd rather sleep forever.

Dahei's wake-up service also received a "good review" from Fu Yu.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Fu Yu was lying comfortably on the hotel bed, with a few drops of water still on the corner of her mouth.

However, not long after, a wisp of black mist seeped into Fu Yu's room through the crack in the door.

The dark shadow first entered Fu Yu's nasal cavity, but it only made her sneeze. Then she turned over and continued to sleep.

The dark shadow seemed somewhat annoyed, grew larger, and once again entered Fu Yu's nasal cavity.

This time, Fu Yu frowned and simply buried her entire face in the pillow, making it impossible for the shadowy figure to attack.

Then, black energy appeared around Fu Yu, and she sat up in a strange posture.

Its limbs were stiff. One second it was lying sprawled on the bed, and the next it stretched out its arms, just like a zombie in a movie.

Even his eyes were tightly closed.

Finally, amidst Fu Yu's exclamations, the dark shadow dissipated, leaving the furious Fu Yu standing there alone.

"Big Black! Are you out of your mind? Who taught you to wake people up like that!" Fu Yu gritted her teeth and stared at the dark figure, not even having time to wipe her saliva.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but I tried waking you up directly, but you were sleeping like a log, no matter how I called you, you wouldn't get up. I had no choice." The dark figure was none other than Big Black.

At this moment, it transformed into human form, adopting a shameless attitude of "spreading its hands, it has nothing to do with me".

"You... fine!" Fu Yu was speechless, unable to find a reason to refute him.

Then when she went to brush her teeth, she saw that Qian Li was already squatting at the door.

She slapped her forehead, only then remembering that she had agreed with Qian Li to practice martial arts together yesterday.

Looking at the cute girl in front of her, the unpleasantness of the morning vanished. She pinched Qian Li's cheek and quickly finished washing up.

The two found an open space in front of the hotel and began to imitate the movements on the papers, repeating them in sequence.

Not long after, the sound of a car engine came from the doorway.

Their attention was quickly drawn to an SUV not far from the entrance.

They put away their stances, collected the papers labeled "Martial Arts Manuals," and walked towards the SUV.

Before they could get forward, a pretty and capable woman got out of the back seat of the car; it was Ouyang Ningxue.

"Sister Ouyang." Qian Li recognized the person and rushed over.

Ouyang Ningxue quickly caught her.

"Have you missed me?" Ouyang Ningxue smiled; she truly liked Qian Li.

Whether it's her cute appearance, her strong abilities, or her calm and collected judgment.

“I think I’ll take you to find my brother.” Qian Li had already spotted Huang Yuanqing in the driver’s seat.

After he parked the car, Qian Li led the group to Li Xuanzu.

He was still browsing mobile forums at that moment.

"You're here? Then let's get ready to go." Li Xuanzu didn't even look up, still staring at his phone.

Everyone agreed and went downstairs.

"How effective is the spiritual energy of a third-tier spirit core?" Li Xuanzu asked casually.

“Very good, his abilities are a perfect match for me. If I were to spar with that big guy from Sichuan Province, I would have a 30% chance of killing him.” Ouyang Ningxue had a very clear understanding of her own strength.

She then added, "If it's a one-for-one trade, I'm 90% sure."

Li Xuanzu was not surprised. He grunted in response and then remained silent.

Huang Yuanqing listened from the side, his face actually showing a hint of mockery.

"Boy, you don't believe me?" Although Li Xuanzu didn't look at him, his divine sense still caught the emotions in his eyes.

"No... no." Huang Yuanqing spoke subconsciously, almost revealing his true thoughts, and quickly corrected himself.

"It's fine. Tomorrow I'll let you two each take down a level 3 zombie and have a competition." Li Xuanzu glanced at him and continued playing on his phone.

Huang Yuanqing was initially afraid of displeasing Li Xuanzu, but he breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Li Xuanzu's words.

“Let’s compete. I, Huang Yuanqing, can’t possibly lose to a woman.”

"Hehe, then let's wait and see." Li Xuanzu rarely showed any interest.
