Chapter 162 Fate
"Black Turtle Element Technique, this time it's your turn..."
Fang Zhixing raised his head and walked to the Black Turtle bookshelf.
"Hedgehog Kung Fu", "Return to Yang Kung Fu", "Innocent Secret"...
There are actually the most Black Turtle-type skills.
Perhaps people are afraid of death, so they spend most of their time studying how to defend themselves.
This also leads to the fact that the number of Black Turtle-type skills far exceeds the other three points.
Fang Zhixing was in a relaxed mood. He picked up the martial arts secrets book and read them one by one.
Soon, the maximum level conditions for many Black Turtle-type skills were revealed.
[Hedgehog Skill·Max Level Conditions:
1. Catch a level 3 hedgehog naked (unfinished)]
[Immortal Art: Full Level Conditions:
1. Block the nine orifices of the body for more than 7 days (unfinished)]
[Iron Shirt·Max Level Conditions:
1. Wear an iron suit for more than 30 days without taking it off (unfinished)]
…
"Hey, why is there only one condition?"
The thin dog came to Fang Zhixing's side at some point, squatted down, tilted its head, and stared with wide eyes, its face full of shock.
Fang Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth and said happily: "This shows that I have laid a solid foundation in the early stage, and now it is finally time to make a breakthrough."
Xi Gou suddenly realized: "Well, that is to say, the stronger your foundation is, the fewer conditions you need to reach the maximum level."
Previously, in the same series of martial arts, there would be fewer and fewer such conditions.
Unexpectedly, after Fang Zhixing successively strengthened his strength, agility and toughness, the impact range of defense was significantly expanded.
Fang Zhixing practiced the Black Turtle series of skills, and the requirements for reaching the maximum level were already pitifully few.
Are you kidding? Just one? This is too easy!!
"Well, it's not just one condition. If there are two techniques, there are two conditions."
Fang Zhixing's eyes suddenly lit up and he took two thick books from the bookshelf.
They are: "River Flowing Water" and "Pangolin Scale Cloth Skill"! [River Flowing Water·Maximum Level Conditions:
1. Sink into the riverbed with fast-flowing water and salvage 100 pieces of "turtle-patterned stones" (unfinished) 2. Hunt down a level 3 alien beast in the water (unfinished)]
[Pangolin Scale Skill·Full Level Conditions: 1. Being hit or crushed by a Level 3 pangolin more than 20 times (not completed) 2. Collecting "Scale Powder" and applying it all over the body once (not completed)]
The dog took a look and asked curiously, "What is turtle-patterned stone? And what is scale powder?"
Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've never heard of it."
Xigou asked, "What should we do? You could go to the Weapon Casting Hall to look up information before, but now you only have a study room, and there is no Xuanwu Pavilion for you to use."
Fang Zhixing thought about it and said with a smile: "There should be a place where we can find it. Let's go to Fengyin Pavilion."
…
…
Qinglin County!
A mahogany carriage was coming from afar, gradually approaching the city gate.
Inside the car, there were two burly middle-aged men who looked about the same.
They are the brothers Cheng Tianen and Cheng Tianxi.
Cheng Tianen at this time is different from the past. He has already taken the position of the leader of Yunhu Hall. His face is flushed and he is full of vigor and vitality.
Cheng Tianxi, who was sitting next to him, had a stern face and exuded a terrifying aura, giving people an aggressive feeling.
His face looked very strange, sometimes pale, sometimes with a strange blush.
“Ahem~”
Suddenly, he started coughing violently, as if he couldn't help it. He quickly unscrewed a wine gourd and gulped down a large mouthful of liquid.
Immediately, a faint smell of blood filled the carriage.
“Ah~”
After drinking the liquid, Cheng Tianxi let out a comfortable groan.
Then, his aura subsided and he became calm.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Cheng Tianen seemed to be used to this and whispered, "After entering the city, you have to be careful. You smell a bit of blood."
Cheng Tianxi nodded, quickly took out a sachet from a box beside him, stuffed it into his arms, and said, "Don't worry, brother. I know what's going on."
The sachet had a strong scent that covered up the smell of blood.
Cheng Tianen smiled with relief and sighed, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you practice the magic skill of 'Heavenly Evil Blood Sea Kung Fu'."
Cheng Tianxi smiled indifferently and said, "Don't blame me, big brother. It was my own choice. With my talent, it is impossible for me to be promoted to the First Bird Realm, but now I have become a master that people admire."
Cheng Tianen smiled and said, "My two brothers have taken over Yunhu Hall and become local tyrants. There are many people on our territory who can satisfy your need to suck blood. As long as you continue to practice, it will be only a matter of time before you surpass me."
Cheng Tianxi shook his head and sighed, "Brother, you are extremely talented. If you hadn't been attacked by someone, you would have broken through to the Third Bird Realm by now."
Cheng Tianen remembered something and his expression changed.
"I was too stupid before. I only wanted to be a hero, even if it was not for fame or profit."
Cheng Tianen sneered, "But I was totally wrong. I witnessed with my own eyes that the person I tried so hard to save was killed by a young master from an aristocratic family with just one word, and I was powerless to stop it. At that time, I realized that if I wanted to achieve something, I had to climb up, and climb up by any means necessary."
Cheng Tianxi agreed and nodded, saying, "Being a hero can't save anyone, but as long as you have great power, anyone can do whatever they want."
Cheng Tianen nodded and said, "I will climb up, even if it means doing whatever it takes. One day, I will gain tremendous power and change this dirty world."
Cheng Tianxi smiled and said, "Brother, just go for it and don't worry about what others think. When people see the light of your success, they will forget the darkness of your methods."
As they were talking, the carriage passed through the city gate and drove into the city.
At this time, Cheng Tianxi suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Brother, is the news you received really correct? Did Fang Zhixing really become the commander of Qinglin County and the second in command?"
Cheng Tianen nodded and sighed: "Although it is hard for me to believe it, I have verified it again and again. The new commander Fang Zhixing is the boy we know."
"How is that possible?!"
Cheng Tianxi frowned, his face full of disbelief.
"If they are the same person, then Fang Zhixing's talent for cultivation is too terrifying."
Cheng Tianxi raised his hand and gestured, "When you met him, he had never practiced martial arts. In other words, in just over half a year, he went from an ordinary person to a Five Animals Realm master. Is this possible? Even the children of aristocratic families can't do such a thing!"
Cheng Tianen said, "So, I seriously suspect that Fang Zhixing is hiding a major secret. This time we took the initiative to contact him and find out his background."
Cheng Tianxi understood and sneered, "If he really has a secret, we must find a way to get it."
The two entered the city, and soon they entered a restaurant and called the waiter to ask something.
"The man you are talking about is Commander Fang, right?"
The waiter blinked and asked in surprise, "You are from other places, right? You don't know the news yet?"
Cheng Tianen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What news?"
The waiter replied, "It has been spread a long time ago that Commander Fang went out to suppress bandits but unfortunately encountered a siege and was killed by the bandits. No trace of his body has been found!"
After hearing this
, the Cheng brothers looked at each other in bewilderment.
I never expected...
Two days later, they left Qinglin County and headed towards the county town.
This time they went to the county town to watch the Qinghe Martial Arts Competition.
After all, Luo Qianqian will definitely participate in this Qinghe Martial Arts Competition.
The two of them are Luo Qianqian's adopted dog slaves, at least in name.
Luo Qianqian is a forgetful person. If they do not appear in her sight for a long time, they may soon be forgotten by her.
If you want to be a qualified dog slave, you must learn to wag your tail.
So, the two brothers prepared a generous gift and planned to choose a suitable time to present it to Luo Qianqian.
For example, the moment when Luo Qianqian won the first place in the Qinghe Martial Arts Competition.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Da da da~ The Cheng brothers traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the county town on this day.
They were from Tieshanmen. After entering the county town, the first thing they had to do was to report to the headquarters.
"Cloud Tiger Hall Master Cheng Tianen."
The gatekeeper checked the roster, stood in awe, and said with a smile: "So it's Master Cheng. You snatched back the Cloud Tiger Hall from the Black Tiger Sect, and were praised by the Sect Master. I was quite impressed by this."
Cheng Tianen looked proud and said with a smile: "I am honored to win glory for Tieshanmen. I will die without regrets."
After saying this, he asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, brother, is the young master here?"
The gatekeeper continued, "The young master has been in seclusion for a while and just came out a few days ago. You are lucky to have come."
Cheng Tianen was not surprised at all.
After all, he had heard that the young master Xue Nanjie was also planning to participate in the Qinghe Martial Arts Conference.
The Cheng Tianen brothers entered the headquarters and handed over a visiting card.
As expected, Xue Nanjie happily summoned the two of them.
The reason is simple. Cheng Tianen once made it into the top ten in the Qinghe Martial Arts Competition. Although luck was a factor, luck is also part of strength.
In addition, Cheng Tianen climbed up to Luo Qianqian's high branch, and Xue Nanjie was one of Luo Qianqian's suitors.
Xue Nanjie's intention is very clear. He plans to show his prowess at the Qinghe Martial Arts Competition in order to win Luo Qianqian's favor.
"Your subordinate greets the young master." The Cheng brothers bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Xue Nanjie waved his hand in a bold voice.
Cheng Tianen looked up and immediately discovered that Xue Nanjie was a young man with thick eyebrows, handsome and unrestrained, with a soft curve of face, just like his mother.
Xue Nanjie asked directly: "I heard that you have met Miss Qianqian before, can you tell me in detail how you met her?"
Cheng Tianen's expression straightened up, and he said, "In fact, everything is a coincidence. We two brothers were on a merchant ship..."
He spoke slowly and Xue Nanjie listened very attentively.
"I see."
Xue Nanjie nodded and sighed, "Miss Qianqian has very high standards. The fact that you two brothers have caught her eye shows that you have something extraordinary."
Upon hearing this, the Cheng Tianen brothers were overjoyed and kowtowed solemnly, saying, "We are willing to follow the young master forever and serve you like a dog or a horse."
Xue Nanjie laughed and said with satisfaction: "Okay, the Qinghe Martial Arts Conference is about to be held, so you two can stay by my side and help."
"yes!"
The Cheng brothers were very excited and felt that their luck had turned.
Ever since they met Luo Qianqian by chance, almost everything has gone smoothly for them.
Several days passed in a flash.
On this day, the Cheng Tianen brothers went to Tianbao Street to shop again.
Xue Nanjie told them that Luo Qianqian liked rare gems and asked them to look for them.
The two brothers were very concerned about this matter and went to Tianbao Street every day.
What a coincidence!
On that day, Cheng Tianxi was walking on the street and for some reason he tilted his head and happened to see the profile of a person at the corner of the street.
“Fang Zhixing!!”
At that moment, Cheng Tianxi's heart skipped a beat and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Isn't he dead? How come he appears in the county town?"
Cheng Tianxi thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and stretched his head to look carefully.
Confirmed! That person is Fang Zhixing, because there is an ugly wolfhound beside him!
Cheng Tianxi couldn't help but pause for breath, and walked quietly in the crowd, following all the way.
Then, he saw Fang Zhixing walk into Fengyin Pavilion with his own eyes.
Cheng Tianxi was shocked and confused. He turned back and found his elder brother Cheng Tianen and told him his discovery.
"What, Fang Zhixing is still alive?!"
Cheng Tianen was shocked and confused.
"Could it be that Fang Zhixing faked his death?!"
"But why did Fang Zhixing give up his position as the commander and come to the county town?"
Cheng Tianen was full of thoughts and couldn't figure it out.
Cheng Tianxi pondered, "I guess Fang Zhixing's secret might have been exposed, so he faked his death and escaped to the county town."
Cheng Tianen thought this was possible.
The two brothers hurried to Fengyin Pavilion.
Unfortunately, Fang Zhixing had already left and they just missed each other.
Cheng Tianen spent some money to buy Fang Zhixing's address from the white-bearded old man.
"Yixiangzhai, seems to be a mansion."
Cheng Tianxi was increasingly suspicious, "This Fang Zhixing is doing better than us!"
Cheng Tianen was in a complicated mood and said hesitantly, "I am increasingly confused about Fang Zhixing. I always feel that he is a little bit evil. Otherwise, let's not provoke him for now."
Cheng Tianxi said: "Brother, the more evil Fang Zhixing is, the bigger the secret he has. We should dig deeper into it."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tianen's eyes burned again, and he said thoughtfully: "Then let's be cautious and use the power of the young master to ask him to help investigate the situation of Yixiangzhai."
Cheng Tianxi smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Xue Nanjie only wants to make a big splash at the Qinghe Martial Arts Conference so as to attract Luo Qianqian's attention. We can take advantage of this."
Cheng Tianen nodded and said, "Yes, just say that there is a mysterious master living in Yixiangzhai who may threaten him. Xue Nanjie will definitely start an investigation after hearing this."
After the two brothers discussed it, they immediately returned to Tieshanmen headquarters and met Xue Nanjie.
Cheng Tianen reported: "There is a rumor in the city recently that there is a master hidden in Yixiangzhai, whose strength is unfathomable, and may steal the limelight from everyone at the Qinghe Martial Arts Conference."
