Xia Xiao was very busy during this period, and the students on the mountainside were also busy. Every day in the town, you can see their busy figures. In the morning, grabbing a few buns and two eggs in the cafeteria has become commonplace from being rare at the beginning.

Many women were reluctant to do this, but seeing Ah Zhu had such a good talent and wolfed down the food before running out of town, they put aside their so-called pride and followed suit. When everyone did the same thing, it felt particularly cordial. Whether it was the princes or the common people, they all treated breakfast in the same way, and when they looked at each other, they expressed encouragement in a tacit understanding.

The aunt in the cafeteria was amazed at how hard they worked. Compared to previous years, they worked much harder. This kind of scene had happened before, but it was the same for everyone except this year. It was just like what the predecessors said, this year's children worked extremely hard, which could be seen from their desperate efforts when they walked up the mountainside.

The students were working so hard, so the aunt couldn't sit idle. She and her sisters prepared more brown paper than usual and prepared to pack the meals. All the meat was deboned to save time.

The word that describes the aunt is considerate, and the teachers are the same. When considering problems, they always consider the students from the perspective of the college, which makes it easy for them to gain the respect and love of the latter. In just a few days, all the students carefully followed the training plan issued by the specific teacher, and insisted on completing it no matter how tricky it was.

We have already reached the middle of the mountain. If we don’t practice well, it would be a waste of this position.

It was another early morning. Just after dawn, 113 people walked out of the small white building and headed for the cafeteria. They stretched their muscles, walked in pairs, and gathered in groups of three or four to share their recent cultivation experiences. Xia Xiao had the most people around him. Tianming Fenglu, Qinfeng Mulin, Xiaoran Azhu were all around him. He walked in the center of the crowd and displayed his armor of the Zhimao realm according to their requirements.

When one reaches different realms of cultivation, there will be different special manifestations. The young age of the Zun realm means that one possesses the power of the five elements after signing the spiritual contract, and the Zhimao realm means that one possesses a stronger vitality, which can even be transformed into real armor and worn on the body.

Under the gaze of the people around him, Xia Xiao smiled and said:

"Which kind of armor do you want to see?"

"Show them all!"

After Qin Feng said this, Mu Lin nodded quickly. They wanted to open their eyes, but Tianming, who was hugging Feng Lu's waist, smiled.

"You want to tire him to death? You have to display four kinds of energy so early in the morning."

"Brothers, if you want to see it, I will definitely not hide it."

This is Xia Xiao's principle of making friends. He will not be stingy with anyone who can be called a friend. He will not find excuses to refuse such a request. Among this group of people, his strength is the highest, of course, he can only compare with others. Tianming's strength is above Xia Xiao, and so is Feng Lu.

“Be prepared.”

Xia Xiao's hand landed on Qin Feng's shoulder. Before the latter could react, spring breeze appeared in his eyes and vitality surged in his hands. The green vitality instantly covered Qin Feng's body and turned into armor that looked like tree roots. The armor fit him well, and Qin Feng moved lightly in it, but he didn't understand why he was wearing it.

When Xia Xiao's hand left, Qin Feng discovered the secret and murmured:

"Is this the magic of the Zhimao Armor?"

"When you reach the Condensation Stage, you can store a large amount of Qi in your body. That Qi can be wrapped around your body like armor. When you reach the Young Age of the Venerable Stage, the amount and purity of Qi will increase again, and the Qi layer wrapped around your body will be thicker and tighter, and it is possible to reach a state where it can penetrate every hole. But there are flaws. For example, if the main body of Qi is too far away, the armor will disappear quickly, and the speed of disappearance varies with the strength. But when you are in the Branches and Growing Stage, the armor made of Qi can be preserved for a long time even if it is disconnected from the main body of Qi. Just like this armor, as long as I don't re-establish the connection with the Qi and make it disappear, it can exist for a whole day."

One day may seem ordinary, but it may be very difficult to preserve it for so long. Qin Feng touched the smooth wooden armor on his body and asked Xia Xiao:

"Brother Xiao, if you exert your full strength, how long can it last?"

"The longest is one week, provided that there is no impact."

"That's long enough."

Qin Feng was a little envious. Zhimao was in front of him, and he had to break through to reach it. Since there was a breakthrough, it meant that it was not simple. He and Mu Lin were both in the late stage of the young age of the Venerable Realm, lagging behind many people. It was a luxury to reach the Venerable Realm of Zhimao in half a year.

Tianming scratched the wooden armor with his fingers, leaving a groove, which could be repaired by itself. This ability made Qin Feng and Mu Lin even more envious.

They knew that wood was straight and had strong recovery ability, but it was the first time they saw the armor of the Zhimao realm, so they were a little excited. Their surprised look seemed very unsophisticated, and even laughed at by fate, but between them, jokes were jokes, and blessings were blessings. Who doesn't want the friends around them to have certain achievements and not have to worry day and night?

Qin Feng and Mu Lin were at the bottom of the list, so they wanted to know Zhi Mao's strength in advance to give themselves a boost. Only when they saw light in the darkness, even a little, could they run faster. Xia Xiao knew that they had no bad intentions. They had lived together for half a year, and they were just short of sleeping in each other's arms. If he couldn't observe these, he would not be considered a meticulous observer.

“This is the Gold Bank.”

Xia Xiao's palm landed on Mu Lin, and suddenly, the heavy black iron added to his body, and his arms and chest became thicker. His footsteps sank, making him move a little slower. After walking a few steps, he still couldn't adapt. Xia Xiao removed it for him, and then used the fire and water armor. Each kind of vitality symbolizes more than just a kind of power, but Xia Xiao didn't use all the vitality for the next practice, but everyone was also enlightened.

They talked and laughed as they walked to the end of the crowd. When they entered the cafeteria and saw that everyone was walking out, they quickly returned to their normal state. At the intersection next to the cafeteria, they were about to go in different directions, but Qin Feng and Mu Lin stopped Xia Xiao.

Halfway across the road, Xia Xiao looked at Qin Feng and Mu Lin, and after seeing them bow, he said:

"Brother Xiao, thank you very much."

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

The gift at this time was not politeness, but true gratitude. They had no reason to help each other unconditionally, so every thing was worthy of Qin Feng and Mu Lin's gratitude. Xia Xiao was no longer the one who had just come to the academy and was much weaker than everyone else. The title of a person who came from afar was no longer a false and sarcastic name.

In just one year, Xia Xiao proved himself that he truly possessed the strength of a man who had come from afar. His experiences also made his eyes more calm and composed, as if he would not be surprised or dismayed no matter what he faced.

Xia Xiao went to his own mountain road, while Qin Feng and Mu Lin practiced in the dormitory. With their strength, there was no need to run around. They each had their own goals and practiced on their own. The place Qin Feng and Mu Lin wanted to go was the branches of the Zun realm, and above that, the fruit of the Zun realm.

Apart from these two realms, they dared not imagine anything else. And the place Xia Xiao wanted to go was the top of the mountain in the sky, the top of the cloud on the top of the mountain, and the higher realm on the top of the cloud.

The woman in the dark was as strong as the senior sister, but if she was stronger, he would definitely go up. Hatred gave Xia Xiao motivation, but it was not enough to blind his eyes. His eyes were extremely vicious and he could clearly see the road ahead. He knew what to do.

The seal was formed, and the mobilized vital energy produced a very small sound. Under the seal of the word "合", the vital energy of heaven and earth began to gather and flow into his body.

"More."

Xia Xiao absorbed food very steadily. He couldn't swallow food that he hadn't chewed thoroughly. But he didn't mind more vitality coming to him. The vitality tree was growing, and he needed more vitality to make it grow fresh leaves.

Xia Xiao's practice time accumulated little by little, and slowly it became half a month.

That day, the three of them sat in an empty room, preparing to test their own strength. The last time they knew their own strength accurately was half a year ago. In the past six months, Xia Xiao had been out for so long, and had never objectively tested his vitality level. Although the level tested was similar to what he felt, the number given by the senior was still more accurate.

Xia Xiao was somewhat expectant. As long as the level mentioned by his senior was a little higher than what he felt, it would be worth his excitement for a long time.
