Yue Huai didn't believe it, so he lowered his head and took the map, carefully read it again, and shook his head:

"It can't be wrong. There is only this one island in this sea area. It must be the Dragon Eye of Daxia's national destiny!"

"...Do the guardians of Daxia's national destiny usually eat people?"

Yue Huai didn't say anything. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and a faint light flickered from the depths of his green pupils. His gaze was fixed on the figure who kept adding firewood under the big vat. When he turned around, Yue Huai was stunned.

"Li Kengqiang?!"

Yue Huai recognized Li Kengqiang. They had fought each other several times more than forty years ago.

But didn't Li Kengqiang become the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch and then died in battle? How could he appear here...

Is it a fake death?

"Li Kengqiang is here... This place is definitely not simple!" Yue Huai said confidently, "Those in the pot should be the younger generations of the Night's Watch. He is using some method to regulate their bodies. Coupled with the natural luck of the Great Xia, it should be very beneficial to them. If nothing unexpected happens, this is a special training for the top Night's Watch."

"Then we..."

"Don't act rashly, just keep observing."

Li Kengqiang alone is definitely not enough to guard the destiny of Da Xia. There must be other powerful people on this island.

"……good."

…

Island.

Two hours later.

The flames gradually died down, Lin Qiye and the others walked out of the jar and put on their clothes. Only then did the ghost Jiang Er float out of the coffin somewhat embarrassedly and follow them.

"After taking this bath, I really feel refreshed." Cao Yuan stretched his muscles and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Gun, how should we train next?" Lin Qiye asked proactively.

More than half a day has passed since they were beaten up by Tang Yusheng. According to Li Kengqiang, in addition to potential training, preparation for the "heart barrier" is also a part of the training. Lin Qiye and others soaked in the potion for several hours, and their bodies have recovered to their best condition. They are full of energy and ready to start more difficult training.

"No hurry, no hurry."

Li Kengqiang spoke slowly, reached out from his arms and took out two decks of playing cards, then sat down on the spot.

"Do you know how to play poker?"

Lin Qiye and others were stunned.

“Yes, it will…”

"Come on, let's play a few rounds." Li Kengqiang shuffled the cards quickly with his fingertips and grinned.

"But Brother Gun, don't we have to train next?" Fatty Baili looked at the flying poker cards and felt a little itchy, but he still asked.

"This is your training today." Li Kengqiang said as a matter of course.

"Training? Poker?" Lin Qiye widened his eyes and repeated it again.

"…If you don't want to play cards, you can play mahjong."

“…”

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Li Kengqiang sighed:

"What do you think the preparation training for the 'heart barrier' is going to be? Is it going to torture you to death like this morning?"

Cao Yuan looked at the poker cards on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I thought you had a special method..."

“I’ve said before that breaking through the ‘heart barrier’ requires opportunity. Before the opportunity comes, all we can do is adjust our mindset… In short, it’s not that simple.” Li Kengqiang waved his hand. Seeing that Lin Qiye and the others were still hesitant, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He put down the poker cards in his hand, glanced at everyone, and said calmly, "Of course, if you really want to break through the 'heart barrier' as quickly as possible, there are ways."

"What is the solution?"

"From now on, you will take up arms and kill each other... until there is only one left." Li Kengqiang's tone was very calm, "Killing your brothers with your own hands, this extreme pain and despair will greatly increase your chances of breaking through the 'heart barrier'.

If you feel that you are not sure of killing the opponent, you can try another method.

Leave this island and go find the people closest to you, your lover, your children, your parents, your brothers... anyone is fine. Killing them might help you break through the 'heart barrier'.

If there are no opportunities, create them yourself... But I want to remind you that doing so does not guarantee that you will break through the "mental barrier", because when you make this decision, your heart is already prepared to bear everything. The more prepared you are, the slimmer the chance of a breakthrough. ..

In order to break through the "heart barrier", Yayu killed his entire family with his own hands, but in the end he was unable to cross that threshold.

Do you guys want to try it?"

As Li Kengqiang's words fell, the air fell into dead silence.

In this depressing atmosphere, Lin Qiye and the others looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing their saliva:

"Actually... Fried Golden Flower is not bad either."

"Yeah, yeah, hehe...are we playing with money? How big is the stakes?"

"One piece is fine, just play around."

“…”

Seeing Lin Qiye and the others sitting down obediently, Li Kengqiang regained his smile.

"That's right... The more you pay attention to the 'mental barrier', the harder it will be to break through. Keeping a calm mind is the best option."

As cards were dealt out from Li Kengqiang's hand, the atmosphere in the open space gradually became heated.

…

Deep in the island.

The endless torrent of national destiny illuminated the dim underground cave into gold. A figure sat cross-legged in the center of the torrent, standing still like a rock.

Gong Yangwan, dressed in a court dress, slowly walked from the end of the cave and bowed respectfully to the figure sitting in the center of the national destiny torrent:

"My Lord."

Huo Qubing, sitting in the torrent of national destiny, opened his eyes and spoke calmly: "Gong Yang, how is [Nightfall]?"

"Li Kengqiang kept them on the island under the pretext of training them to break through the 'heart barrier', but they still have doubts. It's hard to say how long this matter can be kept secret."

"They are all smart people. It's fine now. After a while, they will definitely realize that something is wrong." Huo Qubing paused for a moment, "Let Li Kengqiang and the others... delay as much as possible."

Gong Yangwan was silent for a moment, then said, "My Lord, I don't understand why we must leave them on this island?"

Amid the tide of national destiny, Huo Qubing shook his head slightly:

"This is what the Lord of Heaven meant."

Gong Yangwan opened her lips slightly, as if a little surprised. She nodded and said nothing more.

"By the way." Huo Qubing spoke again, "Someone is watching this island."

Hearing this, Gong Yangwan frowned slightly, "Someone is plotting against our country's destiny? Why didn't we notice it?"

"The other party came prepared. Not only are they very good at hiding, but they are also hiding in the sea a hundred miles away. They didn't come close at all. They have some means to directly see the situation on the island." Huo Qubing said calmly, "They think that this way they can find out our strength... In this case, we will play with them."
