Chapter 59: Breaking through two levels in a row (Subscription required)
Inside the city walls, unlike other camps, there are tents everywhere.
It looks more like a small town.
There are wine shops, restaurants, brothels and gambling houses.
Several men were walking casually on the street with scantily clad women in their arms. A fight broke out in a tavern not far away. A young man in his twenties was beaten up by a white-haired man.
There were people all around watching the fun and cheering.
"The Blood Fire Camp is full of martial artists. As long as you step into the martial arts realm, you can be like them. Now I will take you to see the captain."
Zhao Heng looked at Chu Ning who was lame and frowned. Li Jun sent only such a person?
However, he also knew that Li Jun was more compassionate to his soldiers, and Ji Yang was a deserter who was sent here to be cannon fodder.
People like this, once they break through to become martial artists, will be sent to the front lines to die.
"Those who are chosen to join the Blood and Fire Camp are the elite soldiers among the ten thousand. This shows that your captain is very optimistic about you. Here is a high-level martial arts technique called "Burning Blood Technique". You can practice it and it will allow you to quickly break through to the martial arts master level."
"Thank you, sir."
Chu Ning took the secret book with excitement, but after flipping through it and taking a few glances, his face turned pale in an instant: "This... Sir... I don't want to practice this."
"You don't have to practice if you don't want to. If you can't break through to become a martial artist within three months, I will be beheaded immediately!"
Zhao Heng had no expression on his face, but what he said shocked Chu Ning, "Three... three months to break through to become a martial artist, how is that possible?"
"So, either you practice or you get beheaded. You saw it on the way here. In the Blood and Fire Camp, there are no other military rules to follow except that you cannot disobey the orders of your superior, that is, this captain. If you break through to the Martial Master level, you will get 100 taels of silver and you can spend it however you want."
The stick plus temptation.
"I...I practice."
Chu Ning had a depressed expression on his face and Zhao Heng didn't want to pay any more attention to him. He was destined to be cannon fodder.
"Go out."
The soldier who had sent Chu Ning here before saw Chu Ning's depressed face and comforted him: "Brother, think positively when you enter the Blood Fire Camp. First of all, you can become a martial artist. You are a quasi-martial artist, and it is estimated that you will only need to burn ten years of life to become a martial artist. Aren't you only in your thirties?"
"There are women and wine here, and everything you want to play with. When you have been here for five years, you will be less than 40 years old. At that time, it is up to you whether you want to go to other military camps or return home."
Chu Ning knew that this was a good cop and a bad cop, so he asked curiously, "Sir, is your name Zheng Wei?"
"No, my name is Tan Zheng."
…
After returning to the room he was assigned and closing the door, the frustration on Chu Ning's face disappeared and there was a light in his eyes.
In my previous life, my acting skills should have been better than those young actors.
When normal people see the Blood Burning Technique, they are not excited but panicked. Only those who are desperate and need to improve their strength will be ecstatic.
The character I created for Ji Yang is a cowardly deserter. Although he is still being hunted by the Blood Wolf Gang, he is not at the point of having no where to go.
After reading "Burning Blood Kung Fu", Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. This technique is different from other martial arts techniques. There is no such thing as the first three levels and the last three levels. You can practice it at any level as long as you have enough lifespan.
He can also cultivate the strength of a seventh-grade martial artist.
Chu Ning didn't waste any time. After locking the door, he started practicing.
Soon, a faint layer of blood appeared on his body, which was a sign of burning blood.
A warrior's Qi and blood are circulated by vitality, or the so-called lifespan. Once the lifespan is reduced, the growth and recovery of Qi and blood will slow down, which means that the older they get, the more they will stagnate.
Look inside the body.
Chu Ning clearly felt the blood and energy in his body burning, and then stimulated the dark energy to continue to expand, impacting the remaining inch of the twelve meridians that he had not opened.
The progress is visible to the naked eye.
A quarter of an hour later, just when half of the blood and energy in Chu Ning's body had burned out, blood and energy suddenly surged out of his dantian, replenishing it in just a moment, and it was even more vigorous than before.
"Thank you, big brother Bang, you are awesome!"
Chu Ning was secretly delighted, the lifespan increased by the longevity fruit was indeed powerful.
Continue to practice.
An hour later, the porcelain vase on the table in front of Yi Chu Ning fell over and moved toward the edge of the table. The wooden shelf hanging on the wall shook, and the dust on the cabinet in the corner was swept away by the invisible force.
Chu Ning opened his eyes, his pupils were as bright as lightning.
There was undisguised excitement in his eyes.
Sixth-rank general!
He had finally entered the realm of a military general and was able to release his hidden energy. The strange changes in the house just now were caused by the release of his hidden energy.
To open up all twelve meridians at the same time is something that ordinary warriors who have just entered the sixth level cannot achieve.
Chu Ning grabbed with his right hand, and a porcelain bottle that fell from the table three meters away from him stopped in mid-air and floated there. Then, he flicked his right index finger lightly, and the porcelain bottle shattered.
Indeed, life is the most precious.
One hour is equivalent to one year of practice for me.
Of course, this one hour is equivalent to burning five years of life.
According to the records of "Burning Blood Technique", an ordinary warrior would burn about three months of his lifespan for one hour of practice, but since he was a martial artist, he would burn more lifespan at a time, and this would become more and more so as time went on.
He had already reached the limit of a seventh-grade martial artist. Normally, he could break through to the level of a general in half a year. This time, he burned a year of his life, and the time cost doubled.
This is also the reason why the royal family did not promote this "Blood Burning Skill" to the military general level.
The later you go, the more life you will burn.
Chu Ning was about to continue practicing with all his strength, but the next moment he frowned and looked towards the door.
There were footsteps approaching, and it wasn't just one person.
With the Hidden Strength Technique in action, Chu Ning's energy and blood returned to the level of a martial artist.
"Newcomer, come out!"
Knock, knock, knock! There was a knock on the door. Chu Ning opened the door and saw three men in their forties staring at him.
They are martial artists and from the Blood and Fire Camp, so the actual age of these three people should be less than 30 years old.
"What can I do for you?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Nothing, you are new here. According to the rules of our Blood Fire Camp, the old man will guide you newcomers in training."
So kind?
Chu Ning didn't believe it, but a look of gratitude appeared on his face: "Thank you so much."
"Don't thank us yet. We are not teaching you for nothing. When you break through to become a martial artist, you need to give us half of the 100 taels of silver you get."
I understand. They are here to rob.
The Blood Burning Skill Secret Manual explains the method of cultivation very clearly and does not require any guidance. These people are attracted by the hundred taels of silver they can get after becoming martial artists.
The operating model of the Blood and Fire Camp is similar to that of a gang, so it is normal for them to rob newcomers.
"Well... okay, when I break through to become a martial artist, I will give you three fifty taels of silver." Chu Ning hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
"Know the current situation. Here are our cultivation experiences. Take them for reference and speed up your breakthrough to become a martial artist. If someone comes to you again, tell them that you have accepted the guidance of our three Canglang heroes."
The leader was very satisfied with Chu Ning's attitude, and left after he finished speaking. The thinner man beside him added: "Since you are more aware of the current situation, I would like to remind you, kid, don't go out on the street before you reach the martial arts master level. Previously, a kid who didn't reach the martial arts master level went out on the street and was beaten up."
"Thank you for the reminder, brother. I won't go."
Chu Ning thought of the young man who was beaten when he first came in. He should be the boy the other party was talking about.
After sending these three people away, Chu Ning was not very angry. He just wanted to teach these people a lesson after he showed his strength as a martial artist after a while.
As for the fact that he would be beaten if he went out on the street before becoming a martial artist, Chu Ning roughly understood the reason after just thinking about it.
The martial artists in the Blood and Fire Camp have all burned their lifespans, so they are more or less mentally abnormal. If you, who haven't burned your lifespans, stand in front of them, it would be strange if they would like you.
This is also allowed by the captain of the Blood and Fire Camp. It will force the newcomers to intensify their practice of Blood Burning Skill to break through to the level of martial artist. This is not only for pleasure, but also to avoid being bullied.
Two months later, Chu Ning broke through to the fifth level.
According to the estimated amount of qi and blood burned, the life span is about fifty years.
This is the price of rushing for quick results, not only in burn life, but also in multiples of burn life.
Normally speaking, if he is given ten years, he will be able to break through to the fourth level naturally.
But now, fifty years of life can only buy the fifth rank.
Only you can practice it yourself.
For others, breaking through to the level of a military general is already the upper limit because their lifespan is there.
However, after reaching the fifth level, Chu Ning discovered a problem: the staying power of this Blood Burning Technique was not strong enough.
The maximum time for cultivation is two hours a day, and the burning life span has been fixed at about three years.
According to the exchange ratio, the price of three years of life is equivalent to one year of his actual growth, which is equivalent to one day of his martial arts training being equivalent to one year of martial arts training for others.
Chu Ning didn't know if it was due to physical reasons or the upper limit of the technique itself. He thought that the person who created this technique only wanted it to be used by warriors to break through to become a martial artist. He never thought that there would be a general who would practice this technique.
If it was due to his technique, he could try to improve it later to see if he could break the upper limit of the cooling period or burning life.
"In two months, I can break through to the Martial Master level. It's time to go out for a walk."
Although I know that I will be cannon fodder when I arrive at the Blood and Fire Camp, cannon fodder can be divided into useful cannon fodder and useless cannon fodder.
If it really takes three months to break through to the Martial Master level, you will probably be labeled as the "most useless cannon fodder" and sent to the most dangerous front line. However, if you have good talent, you may be given a buffer time to continue to rise.
Chu Ning pushed the door and walked out of the wooden house. It was the end of the year.
He hasn't been to a busy place for half a year. After being on the run for half a year, it's time to relax.
However, what Chu Ning didn't expect was that when he went out for the first time in more than two months, he actually met an acquaintance.
On the street, two men and two women accompanied by Zhao Heng were walking towards them. Chu Ning's eyes met with one of them, and they were both stunned at the same time.
Looking at the other party's shocked expression, Chu Ning spoke first:
“Zhao Qin, I didn’t expect that I, Ji Yang, would see you here again!”
PS: Sorry, it’s a bit late. I’m sorry to the book friends who are waiting for the update. I modified some parameters. You know what I mean.
