Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 10 Captured
"That is Cheng He who possesses a mid-grade fire spirit root!"

In the next few days, Cheng He became a celebrity in the Second Middle School. With a mid-grade fire spiritual root, he had a great chance of becoming a big figure in Yunxi County in the future.

Many classmates and even seniors would approach Cheng He intentionally or unintentionally, which made Cheng He even more proud.

The more famous he became, the more he hated Li Zhen.

The truth is that every time he saw Li Zhen, he would think of the scene where Li Zhen threw him to the ground.

But Li Zhen only took the school bus to and from school, leaving him no chance to take revenge.

One month after the start of school, twenty students in the first-grade class of monks became first-level Qi training monks.

There is no bottleneck from drawing Qi into the body to the first level of Qi training. This is purely the accumulation of spiritual power. As long as the spiritual roots are not extremely poor, and with the help of external objects, it is not difficult to reach the first level of Qi training in thirty days.

It was on this day that the seminary class updated its curriculum and enriched its courses.

Li Zhen looked through the tutorials of elementary herbalism, elementary spiritual materials, and demon beasts, and found that what was taught were just the basics, and the scope of study was first-level spiritual materials and demon beasts.

The black-winged wood like his was not included in the basic spiritual materials textbook, but these courses were not useless. At least they could allow students to recognize first-level spiritual materials and monsters, know what was dangerous, and avoid them in advance.

"Students, as a cultivator, no matter what your spiritual roots are, you must master certain combat capabilities. The Combat Basics course is to teach you how to fight!" Mr. Zou Zheng, the teacher of the Combat Basics course, is tall and slender, and he has a sword-like power when he stands on the podium.

The students all perked up, and even the girls in the class wanted to learn how to fight to protect themselves.

Why ordinary people cannot leave the city, but monks are not within this range? It is because ordinary people have no ability to protect themselves in the wild, but monks can protect their own safety.

The monsters that appear in the wild are all weak creatures and their combat capabilities are not strong.

If there really were any powerful monsters near the city, they would have been discovered and eliminated long ago.

The real trouble in the wild are things like demon rats. Even if all the demon rats are killed, some ordinary rats will mutate and become spirit rats.

The air in this world contains spiritual energy. No matter how thin it is, it is enough for weak wild beasts to mutate and become monsters.

"I am good at swordsmanship, and I will teach you the basic swordsmanship of the fairyland in the next class!" Teacher Zou continued.

"Teacher, are you going to teach us how to fly swords?" Cheng He asked, raising his hand.

The swordsman in the previous news killed a divine dragon with one sword, which had a huge impact on the students, Cheng He being one of them.

"If you want to use a flying sword, you must be at least in the middle stage of Qi training to be qualified. What you need to learn now is ordinary swordsmanship!" Teacher Zou understood Cheng He's thoughts very well and explained lightly.

Many students looked disappointed. Who doesn’t want to be a swordsman who can kill enemies with a flying sword?

When school was over, Li Zhen rarely went home immediately, and the same went for his classmates.

During class today, Mr. Zou, who teaches the basic combat course, assigned us a task to go to several stores that have cooperation with the school to choose long swords.

The reason why it is called a choice is that the cost of purchasing the long sword is paid by the Yunxi County Finance Department, which is also one of the benefits of the monk class.

Li Zhen did not choose the Jiutian Group's magic weapon store. He was deliberately avoiding it psychologically.

He entered the Xingrui Group's magic weapon store, and there were about ten people who made the same choice as him.

This is normal. Currently, the most famous magic weapon stores in Yunxi County are those established by three major groups. Jiutian, Xingrui and Puyi are the first choice for students.

"Student, please show me your identity bracelet and I will help you choose a sword to practice with!" The Xingrui Group's magic weapon store seemed to have been prepared, and each student had a dedicated receptionist.

Li Zhen showed the public identity information of his ID bracelet, and the female salesperson opposite him verified his identity.

"Student, stretch out your hands. I need to know the data of your arms and palms so that I can choose the most suitable practice sword!" said the saleswoman with a smile.

Li Zhen stretched out his hands and a ray of light swept across his body.

Then the saleswoman operated something on the screen, and a cabinet next to her popped up, with ten long swords placed upright inside.

Li Zhen sensed the aura of the ten long swords, which contained very small amounts of first-grade inferior materials. In his opinion, these ten long swords were not even first-grade magical weapons.

But considering that this was a practice sword and it was free, he couldn't have too high expectations. "These are ten types of practice swords from Xingrui F101 to F110. They are all suitable for your body and have a strong effect. They are durable and not easy to damage!" the saleswoman introduced.

The so-called ten models are long swords with different appearances, including rapier, eight-sided sword, short sword, rapier, two-handed sword and so on.

Li Zhen chose a classic three-foot sword, which is also the choice of most people.

He picked up the classic three-foot sword, and when he held the hilt, he could feel the fit between his hand and the hilt.

"I'm growing up. This practice sword is suitable for me now, but it won't be suitable in the future!" Li Zhen said as he waved the classic three-foot sword twice.

"The most important part of swordsmanship is the first three months. Proper sword practice can prevent bad sword-using habits. When the sword becomes inappropriate for you, you can choose to buy a new one!" The saleswoman was already familiar with this type of question and answered with a smile.

Li Zhen shook his head, holding the practice sword in his hand and turned away.

Not long after he left the Xingrui Group's magic weapon store, he felt someone following him.

And one of them should be a classmate, because he sensed an aura similar to the practice sword in his hand, and the magic weapon on the other person was a genuine first-grade lower-grade magic weapon.

At first he thought it was a coincidence, but when he left the relatively busy commercial street and entered a secluded alley, the two men were still following him.

The people behind him quickened their pace. He looked back and found that one of them was Cheng He. Judging from the other person's clothes and the logo on his clothes, he should be a senior student.

"Li Zhen, I finally caught you!" Cheng He said proudly.

He learned from his seniors that the freshmen needed to go to the commercial street to get the practice swords. He asked his seniors to help monitor Li Zhen, while he sped up the selection of the practice swords and finally blocked Li Zhen.

"Cheng He, what do you want to do?" Li Zhen asked with a frown.

His eyes fell cautiously on his senior. Cheng He could not pose a threat to him as he was not sure of his senior's strength.

"Don't you know what I want to do?" Cheng He approached Li Zhen step by step, saying angrily.

A genius like him was humiliated by Li Zhen. Even if it happened before he became a cultivator, it was unforgivable.

When he was two meters close to Li Zhen, he swung the scabbard practice sword in his hand and attacked Li Zhen.

Although he hated Li Zhen, he had no intention of killing Li Zhen. The most he wanted to do was to let Li Zhen suffer some physical pain so that he could save his own face.

Li Zhen inherited the bloodline of the dragon and gained stronger control over his body.

He stretched out one hand to block the scabbard, and clenched his other hand into a fist and punched Cheng He in the lower abdomen.

This blow made Cheng He involuntarily hunch over like a shrimp, and the pain made him lose his ability to fight.

Neither Li Zhen nor Cheng He learned the fighting skills of the cultivators. The fight between them still depended on who was faster and stronger. In this regard, Li Zhen had an absolute advantage.

"Senior Lu!" Cheng He reluctantly turned around and asked his senior for help.

This senior Lu is the strongest among the students who have deliberately made friends with him in recent days, and has reached the peak of the second level of Qi training.

Although Cheng He has reached the first level of Qi training, he is not sure that he can defeat Li Zhen. Senior Lu is his guarantee.

When Senior Lu heard what Cheng He said, he smiled faintly, took a step forward, then waved his hand and a large net fell from thin air.

No one expected that this big net not only wrapped up Li Zhen, but also Cheng He.

When Li Zhen discovered Senior Lu's actions, it was too late. He had no experience in dealing with such a strange magical weapon.

When he was wrapped in the big net, the numbness from the net made him unable to move.

This is a magical weapon specially used for catching people. How could it appear in the hands of a student?

Li Zhen was even more puzzled. Why did Senior Lu trap Cheng He as well?
Before he could think about it, Senior Lu showed a strange smile, and a magical power came out from the big net, causing Li Zhen and Cheng He to faint.
