Chapter 158 Newcomer

Yes, agility is highly correlated with strength.

Fang Zhixing kept working on his strength at that time, which resulted in no noticeable increase in his strength while he was strengthening his agility.

Strengthening resilience undoubtedly taps into another potential point of the human body.

"In this way, my strength has reached 100,000 jin!"

I realized the market situation and couldn't help but smile.

One hundred thousand pounds of strength! This is an unreachable watershed that separates genius from ordinary people.

The outstanding children of aristocratic families all have a starting strength of 100,000 kilograms.

In other words, after repeated efforts, Fang Zhixing finally caught up with the starting line of the children of aristocratic families.

This starting line is just the finish line that countless ordinary warriors fight for their entire lives and cannot reach even if they try their best.

【Python Power·Perfection】

[Explosive Skill: Snake-like (Lv3)]

[Explosive Skill: Shrinking (Lv3)]

"Sure enough, I have only awakened two explosive skills."

Fang Zhixing was not too surprised by this.

[Snaking: Your body is as soft and flexible as a python, moving in a winding manner]

[Bone shrinkage: Your muscles and bones can be compressed or expanded within a certain range and fixed into the shape you want]

Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up and he stood up.

"Try the twists and turns first."

Fang Zhixing stood still with his soles pressed against the ground, motionless, and suddenly his ankles began to twist.

Ninety degrees, one hundred and eighty degrees, three hundred and sixty degrees!

In a flash, Fang Zhixing's ankles became twisted! Despite such violent twisting, he did not feel any discomfort, as if he had been able to do this since birth.

But this is not the end! Suddenly, the twisting force accumulated in the ankle began to rebound, and the body rotated in the reverse direction.

Swish! Fang Zhixing recovered suddenly, but the power and speed he burst out at this moment were beyond imagination.

“Awesome!”

Fang Zhixing's heart and body were shocked, and he immediately drew out the second-level sword from his waist.

First, he spun around on the spot, then suddenly released himself, and while his body was twisting, he suddenly chopped with a knife.

Swish! The knife flashed, as fast as thunder!

The air shook violently, and then an arc of light appeared and spread out.

"sharp!"

Fang Zhixing's pupils shrank. It was just an ordinary slash, but the power was more than doubled.

“Resilience not only allows you to store power, but it also allows you to release power and rebound.”

Fang Zhixing suddenly understood why the Luo family's "Tianluo Secret Sutra" would choose to prioritize strengthening toughness or agility.

“These two points are indeed very prominent, especially in actual combat, where they have a wider range of applications and remarkable results.”

Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the development model of the Five Animals Realm.

He lowered his head and looked at the thin dog.

But he found that Xigou was staring at his system panel with a frustrated look on his face.

[Number of lives remaining: 9]

The thin dog has hardly changed, except that it has one more life.

Compared with Fang Zhixing's advancement from the second bird realm to the third bird realm, Xigou's rounding is equivalent to no progress at all.

One can imagine how the little dog feels at this moment. The expression on his face is as if he has eaten shit, with mixed feelings.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "You're not bad either!"

The dog was furious and bared his teeth, "That's not bad, are you blind or am I blind?"

Fang Zhixing said happily: "Your current strength is equivalent to that of a python realm. If all nine lives burst out together, it is enough to kill an expert in the bird realm."

Having said that, it is true, but the little dog is not happy at all.

He wants to kill Fang Zhixing even more!

As long as we can't defeat Fang Zhixing, all progress is meaningless.

Fang Zhixing comforted Xigou with a few words, then ignored his little emotion and walked into the secret room.

The thin dog took a few deep breaths and quickly followed.

Fang Zhixing walked straight to the Lingyuan bookshelf and picked up the second book on resilience.

[Spiritual Ape Looking at the Moon·Benefits of Blessings·Maximum Level Conditions:

1. Capture or kill a level 3 ape-like beast alive (unfinished) 2. Collect 8 moon crystal fruits (unfinished)]

…

[Cunning Rabbit Soft Bone Lock·Full Level Conditions:

1. Hunt a third-level rabbit-like beast (not completed) 2. Build a cave in the wild that can be used for hiding (not completed)]

…

The maximum level requirements for these two Spirit Ape-type skills were quickly revealed.

As expected, the maximum level conditions were reduced from 4 to 2, and the difficulty was reduced.

Fang Zhixing hesitated for a moment and did not make a choice immediately. Instead, he looked at the other skills on Lingyuan's bookshelf and flipped through them one by one.

Seeing this, Xigou couldn't help but whisper, "Why are you looking at those techniques? They are not in the same system as the Iron Mountain Technique."

Fang Zhixing replied: "There may be omissions, but I have plenty of time anyway, so it doesn't hurt to read a few more books."

Xigou had nothing to say about this.

"Green Snake Refining Essence", "White Ape Catching the Moon", "Flowing Cloud Breaking Formation Dance"...

One after another strange skills flowed past Fang Zhixing's eyes.

Soon, the maximum level conditions were revealed.

Not surprisingly, most of the skills have only one requirement to reach the maximum level, and a few have two.

Fang Zhixing flicked his fingers, and the panel slid down continuously, revealing more skills.

Suddenly, a technique with four conditions came into view.

"Iron Bamboo Divine Sword Technique"

“It’s actually a sword technique!”

Fang Zhixing paused for a moment and his heartbeat quickened.

He quickly looked through the previous introduction and found that this sword technique was created by a swordsman named Tiezhu Zhenren.

This man loved swords all his life and practiced many kinds of sword techniques. He could be said to have gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools and gradually integrated them into one. In his later years, his sword technique reached perfection, but he was still unwilling to give up and continued to work hard on his own.

Once, he accidentally discovered a third-grade iron bamboo in the mountains, which could not be cut by a knife, which made him very happy.

So he moved to the iron bamboo forest and studied how to cut bamboo day and night.

As time went by, he finally had an epiphany one day and created an extremely terrifying sword technique.

However, these contents are actually just legends passed down by later generations.

Because Master Tiezhu died suddenly shortly after completing the sword manual, his sword skills had never been demonstrated to the world.

All I know is that if you master this sword technique, you can really cut through level three iron bamboo.

It's not about cutting the skin, it's not about cutting in half, it's about cutting in half!

[Iron Bamboo Divine Sword Art·Maximum Level Conditions:

1. Cut down 100 iron bamboos over 30 years old or 3 iron bamboos over 100 years old (not completed) 2. Watch a swordsman in the Five Animal Realm practice the iron bamboo sword technique once (not completed) 3. Defeat or kill a life of the same level with a bamboo sword (not completed) 4. 36 third-level high-quality meat pills or more than 500 kilograms of third-level exotic beast meat (not completed)]

Seeing this, the thin dog exclaimed: "Wow, you actually found it."

Fang Zhixing was also extremely delighted and said excitedly: "If I can master this Iron Bamboo Sword Technique, it will not only completely strengthen my toughness, but also improve my swordsmanship, killing two birds with one stone!"

When Xigou saw this, he knew that Fang Zhixing had made up his mind to practice the iron bamboo sword technique.

Fang Zhi walked out of the secret room and called Hongye.

He inquired, "Iron Bamboo is an ornamental plant, right?"

Hongye replied, "Yes, iron bamboo is evergreen all year round and grows very slowly. It hardly changes after planting, so many people transplant iron bamboo into their homes."

Fang Zhixing asked, "Is there any in Yixiangzhai?"

Hongye nodded and said, "Yes, on the outer wall on the north side, a row of iron bamboos were planted to block the dust raised from the street."

Outside the northernmost wall of Yixiangzhai is a street with heavy traffic and a lot of dust.

The iron bamboo is tall and has lush branches and leaves, making it very suitable for dust reduction.

Fang Zhixing hurried over to take a look.

What comes into view is a row of black bamboos, four or five meters high and only as thick as a thumb, with lush green leaves.

"How old are these iron bamboos?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fang Zhixing asked.

Hongye replied, "About ten years, definitely less than twenty years."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

Then he rode out on horseback, went to Tianbao Street, and entered the hall of Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.

He inquired and found out that iron bamboo was a plant and was out of stock, so he could only place an order first.

"Okay, make a reservation for me."

Fang Zhixing had no hesitation about this, and he ordered two types of iron bamboo, one that lasted thirty years and one that lasted one hundred years.

"I want to ask another question. If I want to spend money to buy some information or find someone, where should I go?" Fang Zhixing asked.

The receptionist replied, "There is a 'Feng Yin Pavilion' on Tianbao Street. You can try that."

Fang Zhixing was delighted and went to Fengyin Pavilion immediately.

To his surprise, Fengyin Pavilion was just an ordinary small shop.

The shop was simply decorated, with only an old man with a white beard sitting behind the counter, looking sleepy and bored.

However, when Fang Zhixing walked into the door, the white-bearded old man suddenly raised his head and greeted him with a smile: "Sir, please come in. Do you want to sell some explosive news, or do you want to inquire about something?"

Fang Zhixing said directly: "I want to find someone."

"Sure. No matter who it is, Fengyin Pavilion is definitely capable of finding it for you."

The old man picked up the pen and asked, "What is the man's name, what are his characteristics, and where is his hometown?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "I am not looking for a specific person, but a swordsman who has practiced the Iron Bamboo Divine Sword Technique and has entered the Five Animals Realm."

The old man was startled at first, then he said thoughtfully, "A swordsman at the Bird Realm is also okay?"

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Yes, your cultivation must at least reach the first bird level. Of course, the stronger the better."

The old man understood and said with a smile, "Sir, I have accepted your business. Please leave your address. When I find the right person, I will send someone to inform you. In addition, you have to pay the deposit first."

Only then will you know that there is nothing wrong with doing it.

Then he strolled along the street and when he passed by a weapons shop, he bought a handy bamboo sword.

Four days passed in a flash.

A guest suddenly came to Yixiangzhai.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, about two meters tall, with a sturdy build, and silver iron rings on his arms.

After verifying his identity, Hongye let him stay in the west wing.

"Master, that person was recommended by the eldest son. His name is Ma Zhengming. He practices the 'Iron Wire Fist' and his actual cultivation level is at the early stage of the Four Animal Realm." Hongye introduced.

"Four Bird Realm?!"

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and said in surprise: "A master of the fourth animal realm, wouldn't he be popular anywhere? Why did he come to us?"

Hongye replied: "Ma Zhengming was originally from the Yue family, a small clan, but he betrayed the Yue family and became a spy.

After the truth was revealed, he was hunted down by the Yue family. He had nowhere to escape, so he went to the eldest son's camp. However, the eldest son was not willing to take him in, so he arranged for him to stay with us."

Fang Zhixing sneered and nodded, "Okay, let him come see me."

"yes."

Hongye turned around and called for help.

After a while, Ma Zhengming walked in. He had a long face, short beard, and an ugly scar on his right eyebrow, which made it look like a broken eyebrow.

"Ma pays respect to the host."

Ma Zhengming bowed his head, a look of surprise involuntarily appeared on his face, as if he did not expect the host to be so young.

"No need to be polite."

Fang Zhixing was calm and collected. He looked Ma Zhengming up and down and asked directly, "I heard that you are in the Four Bird Realm. Which system are you from? How strong is your level?"

Ma Zhengming smiled and replied: "Master, I am from the Giant Bear family, and my strength has reached 80,000 jin!"

Fang Zhixing finally understood, and at this moment, he felt extremely relieved.

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared with the children of aristocratic families, Fang Zhixing felt under tremendous pressure and was extremely uncomfortable.

But compared with these ordinary warriors, Fang Zhixing suddenly felt how powerful he was.

What the hell is the Fourth Animal Realm? Ma Zhengming can never be a match for him who has reached the perfection of the Third Animal Realm.

Fang Zhixing glanced at Zhudao, and he had something in mind. He said calmly, "Ma Zhengming, you can stay in Yixiangzhai first. Hongye will introduce the rules here to you."

Ma Zhengming observed Fang Zhixing's expression and found that he was not looking at him directly. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if he did not take him seriously at all.

For a moment, Ma Zhengming was unsure, not knowing Fang Zhixing's background, and did not dare to act recklessly. He lowered his head and said obediently, "It's all up to the host. Ma is willing to serve the host at his whim."

then!

Yixiangzhai has a new guest, but this is not the end.

Two days later!

Another guest came to Yixiangzhai.

The man was about 40 years old, over 1.9 meters tall, with a clean and fair face and all his beards shaved off. Unfortunately, he was bald in middle age and had a bald spot on his head.

Hongye introduced: "His name is Qiao Quanlin, and he is one of the masters raised by the Dong family. When he was carrying out an assassination mission, he accidentally exposed his face. He could no longer stay in the Dong family, so he came to Yixiangzhai."

Fang Zhixing was speechless and said, "I'm almost like a rag collector here. What is Qiao Quanlin's cultivation level?"

Hongye Lian said: "He is in the late stage of the Three Birds Realm, Black Turtle Element, and practices the Shocking Waves Sword Technique."

Fang Zhixing understood the situation and summoned Qiao Quanlin.

"Greetings, Master."

Qiao Quanlin walked into the room with a long sword on his back, took a close look at Fang Zhixing, and bowed nonchalantly. His greeting was very perfunctory and showed no respect at all.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing raised his lips and said, "Qiao Quanlin, you must be a direct descendant of the Dong family and are highly valued. It is a bit unfair for you to come to my Yixiangzhai."

Qiao Quanlin was stunned for a moment, then he said politely: "Master, what are you talking about? This is a great place, and I am very happy to be here."

Fang Zhixing said calmly: "That's great, you can stay here first, and there will be a place for you to display your talents in the future."

Qiao Quanlin smiled symbolically and turned away with a swagger.

Fang Zhixing watched them leave, his face darkening little by little. He shook his head speechlessly and laughed, "What the hell is this?"

Hongye Lian said, "Master, calm down. Qiao Quanlin's son married the daughter of a concubine of the master of the Dong family, so he is considered a relative of the Dong family. He has become arrogant under the protection of the Dong family and is a bit arrogant. Don't worry, I will warn him."

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "That's not necessary. The more you warn this kind of person, the more trouble he will cause. Just let him be."

Hongye pondered for a moment and nodded to show that he understood.

Another day has passed! A carrier pigeon fell from the sky and flew quickly into Yixiangzhai.

Fang Zhixing happened to be playing games with Hongye in the study. When he raised his hand, the carrier pigeon landed on his arm.
