Fire Monster

Chapter 208 Strengthening the Basics

"Shhhhhh!"

Four sword energies flew up, reaching a height of seventy to eighty meters in the air, and then rapidly dispersed and gathered in a perfect arc, finally turning into a sword meteor and sinking into the vortex of spiritual energy.

But this was not the end, because in the next second, another extremely sharp sword energy split the air and struck, and it slashed over 300 meters in one breath, followed by another, and then two more.

Four attacks, one sword energy turning into a meteor, three straight sword energy, the whole process took four seconds and used up four long swords.

This is Wang Chen’s peak performance.

“Four stars!”

Xiao Chengyun, who was standing nearby, raised his sign and said to Zhao Guanshan, "Wang Chen's attack damage is enough to kill any seventh-level evil demon in seconds, and he can destroy the fourth form of an eighth-level evil demon by himself. But when facing a ninth-level evil demon, his damage is a little weak. He is no worse than anyone in terms of long sword mastery. His real shortcoming is that he is currently only a double-seal martial artist with only six acquired pure yang energies, and he cannot bring out the true effect of his innate fire seal."

"Brother, I asked you to come here because I hope you can come up with a way to follow the example of Deng Jiu and Zhang Qian and see if you can improve Wang Chen."

Zhao Guanshan nodded. It was already the fifth day, and there were five days left in the countdown to the choice given by the Taoist Palace. The whole city was working hard for their future destiny.

Even Liu Yuwei was sent away by Xiao Chengyun to practice. Now Xiao Chengyun is giving one-on-one lessons to the core combat power in the city.

Deng Jiu, Zhang Qian, Wang Chen, Yu Che and Mo Laoer are the five people she wants to focus on. In her own words, as long as she can deal with these five people, the combat effectiveness can be almost increased by half from the current level.

To fight against the ninth-order evil demon, high-end combat power is extremely important.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll use my family's heritage."

Zhao Guanshan said this and called Wang Chen and Yu Che to follow him.

"And Mo Lao Er, let's take him away together. Brother, call me when you need protection!" Xiao Chengyun was very happy, as if he had thrown the mess to others, leaving only poverty and happiness.

Over the past two days, Zhao Guanshan had been hiding in her room under the pretext of practicing, and then she resolutely became the temporary city lord. Without having to be responsible for people's livelihood, she led five elite teams to conduct several exercises against the ninth-level evil demons.

He even drove a chariot to the battlefield on the first line of defense and observed up close how the Demon Suppression Division fought against the tenth-order and ninth-order evil demons.

As a result, after the observation, Xiao Chengyun himself fell into deep self-doubt and self-denial.

That’s right, when she joined Su Hai’s team, she did not encounter any ninth-order demons on the front lines. The strongest target was the eighth-order.

Last time, Qin Dong, a fourth-level Qi Refiner, was in charge, and the ninth-level evil demon did not linger in the fight and left quickly.

She had never really faced or understood how terrifying the ninth-order evil demon was!
In anxiety, she could only find Zhao Guanshan and tell him her worries, that is, she had the ability and confidence to kill a ninth-level evil demon on the first day, and the same would be true on the second and third days, but if this continued for a long time, she was afraid that she would go crazy.

The solution Zhao Guanshan gave her was to improve the strength of others and reduce her own pressure.

Or, give your anxiety to someone else.

It seems to be quite effective now.

"Brother Zhao, I don't know if it's my illusion, but you've been a little different lately."

As they walked on the road, Wang Chen smiled.

"Really? Why do I feel that Brother Zhao is still as approachable, handsome and talented as ever?" Yu Che on the side immediately started to flatter him.

Mo Lao Er, who was walking beside Yu Che, was like a student who was awakened by the teacher after sleeping in class. He asked in confusion, "Brother Zhao? Where is he? Where is Brother Zhao?"

His appearance immediately caused Wang Chen, Yu Che and Zhao Guanshan to laugh, and then Mo Laoer himself immediately followed suit, without any sense of incongruity.

The four of them looked quite happy, at least that's what others saw.

But only Zhao Guanshan himself knows what is going on.

After he successfully cultivated to the third-level Qi Refiner yesterday, he carried a fifth-level Forgotten Rune on himself.

He didn't mean it, but five days ago he was a first-level Qi Refiner, and five days later he suddenly became a third-level Qi Refiner. He had to think about Xiao Chengyun's little heart and not scare other people or cause unnecessary trouble.

Otherwise, what if the Dao Palace investigation team is attracted and they insist on conducting a demon heart test on him?
The result was that the overwhelmed Xiao Chengyun didn't even notice it. This shows that it is better for Qi Refiners not to get involved in too many tedious affairs.

However, Wang Chen, who had been concentrating on practicing sword, discovered something wrong. You have to know that he was under the effect of fifth-level oblivion. Even if he was a third-level Qi Refiner with a slightly perfect vitality, he could still detect it. It can only be said that Wang Chen's perception was becoming more and more acute. I don't know if it was related to his increasingly strong control of the sword.

On the contrary, Mo Laoer often "forgets" the existence of Zhao Guanshan. Even if he was still talking the moment before, as long as Zhao Guanshan did not stay in his sight, as soon as he turned around, Mo Laoer would forget about him, and his perception dropped to negative numbers.

In comparison, Yu Che is more conventional.

Of course, even so, Yu Che can still reach an upper-middle level as a martial artist.

The four people were walking casually on the road, passing by the roundabout in the center of the town, which used to be the place of Cuihong Tower. A time-telling instrument here rang, indicating that it was already evening.

A huge noise immediately broke out in the three-story building, with shouts, various whistles, and dozens of teenage boys rushing out howling, like huskies breaking free from their restraints, and starting to run around wildly.

This place has become a small Taoist temple. All the little kids, from those under sixteen to those over four years old, are here, as many as seven or eight hundred.

"Be the fucking honest one, and control your emotions. Aren't you afraid of attracting the devil of seven emotions and six desires?"

Sun Ze's yelling and cursing sounded, a little exasperated. Since the Taoist temple was established, the mountain head Xiao Chengyun came once, and after confirming that no one inside could enter the Tao and no one could become a Qi Refiner, he never came again.

Hu Baimu, the nominal deputy headmaster, was more interested in upgrading the second-level spirit supply tower. Therefore, as long as there was no war or patrol duty, this hard job fell on Sun Zei, Xu Ming and the other five team leaders who were responsible for defense.

But it seems that Sun Ze is obviously enjoying it.

In fact, Sun Ze had a good foundation. Zhao Guanshan still remembered his ballet-like spear piercing. So far, among the veterans and recruits, he was a legend that had never been surpassed.

But this guy is still too slick, a real old soldier. He is not firm enough on the battlefield and does not have the courage to risk everything and fight to the death. He is like a big rat and will subconsciously look for a way to retreat.

This won't work. Not only will it hurt others, it will also hurt himself.

Therefore, even though Deng Jiu, Zhang Qian, Wang Chen, Yu Che, and Mo Laoer, who were at the same level, had become the real core, he was still a goalkeeper in the back, and now he had become a martial arts teacher at the small Taoist academy.

The road was too narrow, so Zhao Guanshan and his four companions pulled over to the side of the road to let those little bastards pass first. They were in such a hurry not to go home for dinner, but to work as laborers in Jia Xian's factory to earn some pocket money.

Now that the environment in the city is stable, Zhao Guanshan has introduced a simple economic system, using the Taoist palace's huge sums of money to pay salaries. Although the houses are free and the spiritual energy supply is free, there are still many places where you can spend money.

Now, Zhao Guanshan is unable to master the three subjects of civil arts and martial arts at the same time, but practicing both civil arts and martial arts is a must.

After these groups of half-grown ones passed, a group of tiny ones finally appeared. These were all under ten years old and were equally restless, chirping and making a lot of noise.

The most honest ones are those aged five or six.

"Eh? Hello, sister-in-law!"

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan saw a familiar figure. It was Qin Jian's wife. She was carrying her two-year-old daughter on her back and directing a group of four or five-year-old kids to go home after school.

"Ah, it's Captain Zhao!"

Qin Jian's wife was a little surprised. She seemed to have almost forgotten Zhao Guanshan. The last time they met was on an ordinary afternoon half a year ago. It was just an ordinary thing to her. He was just an ordinary liberal arts student, not worth remembering.

Zhao Guanshan originally wanted to say that you don’t have to go to work since you are taking care of a two-year-old child, but in the end he just nodded friendly and grabbed Qin Jian’s daughter’s hand and teased her.

Perhaps what he needs to do is not to ask about her well-being, but to always provide such a stable environment.

In addition, he was also glad that Wei Tieniu did not have time to entrust his son to the care of others, and it seemed that all his six wives were sent here.

Including Su Hai and Li Chun’s wives.

The families of the entire Su Hai team were sent here. It seemed that the Chief Secretary used this method to vent his powerless anger.

With a smile, the four men said hello to Sun Zei, who was busy as an old dog, and continued on their way back to the camp headquarters.

It looked like a corner of it had collapsed before. Jia Xian wanted to send someone to repair it, but was stopped by Zhao Guanshan. The four-story building of the battalion headquarters was still usable.

Today, this place has become the daily practice place and meeting room for the core members of the team.

The underground level is where Zhao Guanshan, Xiao Chengyun, and Liu Yuwei practice.

The ground floor is a meeting room.

The second and third floors are the training rooms for other people.

"Brother Wang, Brother Yu, and Brother Mo, we still have five days left. My suggestion is that you should practice first and condense as much pure Yang Qi as possible by running the runes. If you cannot reach the standard of a Three-Seal Martial Arts Practitioner, it will be difficult for me to help you improve like I did for Zhang Qian."

As Zhao Guanshan said this, he took out three extremely special marrow cleansing liquids.

I saw that this marrow-cleansing spiritual liquid was surrounded by a brilliant light like clouds inside and outside, and the spiritual energy was extremely rich.

This was something he prepared carefully, even using a little bit of spirit stone fragments.

Most people are not as extravagant as him.

Wang Chen and Yu Che both took the wine and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation. It was a gift from Master Zhao, so why should they consider it?
As for Mo Laoer, damn it, he forgot where Zhao Guanshan was again.

"Come on, Brother Mo, drink this and go practice your skills."

"Hey, no problem, brother Zhao, your family is really rich. If you continue like this, we brothers will only be able to become servants in your Zhao family."

Mo Laoer speaks quite nicely.

Zhao Guanshan laughed loudly, "What are you talking about, Second Brother Mo? At least you should be a retainer!"

After sending these three into the room, Zhao Guanshan didn't care about anything else because he was very sure of the result.

Are you kidding? This is a spiritual stone that even Xiao Chengyun is not qualified to use and has never used before. How can it be easily used to upgrade three martial artists?

And now, he needs to send some to Liu Yuwei because he needs a third level three Qi Refiner.
