The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 241 Xu Xingchen: I want to have fun in this life!

The sky is blue and the clouds are high, and the grassland is vast.

Xu Xingchen was holding the Dragon Slaying Sword and walking unsteadily in the grass.

A gust of wind blew, her clothes fluttered, her hair flew, and the grass around her undulated like waves.

He knew that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan would be wary of his words, but it didn't matter. Since he had come to this world early, he would definitely participate in the daily growth of the protagonist Guo Jing.

This time of being frank and honest is to give the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan a heads-up in advance to avoid misunderstandings when they meet again in the future.

At present, the only question in his mind is how to "change the way of life" and what kind of life to change.
Walking aimlessly is to stretch your muscles and bones and eliminate physical discomfort.

As he walked, he was thinking about how he wanted to live. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have never lived for himself.

In his first life, from childhood to adulthood, he learned knowledge in school, graduated from university, took the postgraduate entrance examination, and then spent a long career in a scientific research laboratory. He was still doing experiments in the laboratory until his death.
In his second life, he followed his master to practice swordsmanship on Mount Hua, and spent his later life either in hard training or in studying Taoist scriptures and medical books. The time he spent traveling down the mountain was far less than the time he spent in seclusion in the mountain.
In the third world, apart from going to Kunlun Mountain to retrieve the Nine Yang Magic Skill, he spent the rest of his time hiding in the back hills of Butterfly Valley studying martial arts and doing things to save the world.
Studying, researching, and practicing, this simple daily routine that he could see the end of at a glance, it seemed like he could do it for the rest of his life.

Now, when I want to overturn this most cozy and comfortable lifestyle, for a moment, I have no idea and can't find the direction at all.

As he thought more and more deeply, he suddenly realized that if he had not experienced the baptism of the Internet in the first life, and was born directly in the second life, would he become a martial arts fanatic who was ignorant of the ways of the world, did not understand the fun of life, had a cold and dull temperament, and only knew how to practice swordsmanship? !
As he thought about it, Xu Xingchen started to laugh. He felt that his thoughts were a little too extreme. Without the knowledge accumulated in his first life, he would only become a very normal person in the second life, living his life, practicing swordsmanship, fighting with others, and having fun in the way that people in the world think.
"Eh, looking for fun?!"

He murmured these four words, which rarely appeared in his mouth, and after savoring them carefully, he laughed out loud: "Good! Good! Good! In this life, I will be a person who seeks pleasure."

"Go drink the strongest liquor in the world, go ride the fastest horse in the world, go eat the most delicious food in the world, go find the most beautiful woman in the world. Well, forget about the last one. I don't know when I will leave, so I'd better not delay her."

After shouting out loud in the wind about the new life he was about to live, Xu Xingchen laughed three times towards the sky, then closed his mouth and his expression returned to calm.

Feeling that his behavior just now was quite childish, he couldn't help but mutter to himself awkwardly: "Sure enough, it's impossible to change all of a sudden."

"Hey, take your time."

A sigh dissipated with the wind at the end of the grassland.

Walking from day to night until the moon was at its zenith, Xu Xingchen finally stopped and came to a big mountain.

This mountain is one of the continuous mountain ranges seen during the day. Most of the trees in it are northern vegetation such as Chinese pine, birch, poplar, and beech.

No one comes to these places all year round, and there are a lot of dry firewood and branches piled on the ground. Just pick some of them and gather them into a bonfire in a sheltered valley.

Choking!

The Dragon Slaying Sword was unsheathed, creating a few sparks on the stone wrapped in velvet. The sparks ignited the velvet, the velvet ignited the dead branches, and the dead branches ignited the dry wood.

A roaring bonfire illuminated the valley.

Some wild animals that were active at night saw the fire and, driven by curiosity and hunting instinct, quietly approached. They poked their heads out from the grass behind a big tree to spy, but were hit on the head by a stone and fell down twitching.

Xu Xingchen skillfully used the Dragon Slaying Sword to drain its blood, cut open its stomach, remove its internal organs, and then cleaned them at a nearby stream.

Returning to the campfire, they cut the meat into several thin pieces that were easy to roast, cut many slits on the meat, and then inserted the pieces onto several thick branches and roasted them over the fire over and over again.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue wafted into the air.

Xu Xingchen used the Dragon Slaying Sword as a dagger and cut the roasted meat layer by layer. Although there was no seasoning, he still ate it with his mouth full of oil and felt that it tasted good.

He is also a little hungry!
As he was eating, he suddenly muttered, "Well, my current movements when eating meat are too elegant. I need to be a little rougher and more relaxed."

Thinking of this, he simply threw the Dragon Slaying Sword aside, grabbed a branch, and started to eat the barbecue on it in big mouthfuls.

This time, not only was his mouth full of oil, but even his cheeks were covered in a lot of oil.

After eating barbecue, drink some stream water.

Xu Xingchen leaned against a large rock beside him, looking at the jumping flames with a dim gaze, his mind full of thoughts.

He recalled the battle with Zhang Sanfeng.
In that battle, Zhang Sanfeng only relied on his powerful body after the "Xuanwu Transformation" to block the attacks of his martial arts god again and again.
That super sensitive reaction, super powerful strength, super fast speed, and super tough defense constantly refreshed the limits of his understanding of the human body.

It’s incredible!
He didn't want to make any excuses, he knew that he had lost the competition completely.

If Zhang Sanfeng had not returned to his original state and undergone a complete transformation, he might have been able to put up a good fight with the opponent.

But there are no ifs.
Moreover, he could feel that besides the ability of "Xuanwu Transformation", Zhang Sanfeng must have other abilities that he had not yet used. Zhang Sanfeng was very relaxed in the battle, giving him enough face.

Xu Xingchen accepted the defeat in that battle very calmly. It was not a shameful thing to be defeated by the grandmaster Zhang.

Moreover, he also learned the next step in martial arts from Zhang Sanfeng, and the joy in his heart far outweighed the helplessness of defeat.

With a flick of the scabbard, a few pieces of dry firewood on the pile of firewood next to it drew an arc and penetrated into the dim campfire, and the fire became bright again.

Xu Xingchen's thoughts broke away from the memories of the battle and returned to himself.

Most of the physical discomfort caused by traveling through time and space has been eliminated, but some awkward feelings still exist and cannot be eliminated until now.

This made him think of the first days when he traveled from the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer to the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

At that time, I felt that the sky had become higher and the air seemed to be fresher, and the shackles that restricted my martial arts disappeared.
I feel like a fish swimming from a basin into a river, and I feel that the world has become much wider.
Now, he has come to the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and he also feels that this world has become higher and wider than the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. At the same time, there is something unusual.

And that abnormal thing was the reason why he felt uncomfortable.

However, he had just arrived and knew too little about the world. He couldn't figure out the reason for a while and had to put it aside temporarily.

At this point, his thoughts turned again, and he began to think about how to "return to the origin."

Logically speaking, as long as one regresses the level of martial arts, transforms one's true qi back into internal strength, and returns the five elements' qi to the five internal organs, everything will be fine.

However, some of the specific details still need to be carefully considered.

Moreover, whether the extra abnormality in this world will affect the process of returning to the original state is still unclear.

That night, he sat by the campfire and thought all night long.

When the morning came and the sun rose, he prepared to meditate and rest.

As a result, when he just started to move the Qi, the awkward feeling became stronger. He had to stop the circulation of the Qi and frowned as he pondered the reason.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that this world does not support the existence of energy like true qi?!"

As soon as this idea came up, it immediately took root in my mind and extended into more other ideas.

In the next few days, Xu Xingchen continued to advance in the mountains along the direction of the grassland.

At the same time, we began to deduce the issue of the true Qi "returning to its origin".

It wasn't until one night when he sat by the campfire and tried it for the first time that he found that the process was much smoother than he had imagined.

In the process of the true Qi returning to its origin, the whole world seemed to be helping him, making some of the checkpoints he had deduced smooth sailing.

When the first practice was over, the awkward feeling in my body actually decreased a little.

This greatly boosted Xu Xingchen's spirits. He knew that he had found the right direction, so he practiced more diligently.

However, the process of returning to one's original nature is a delicate job. If one wants to separate the internal force and the five elements from the true qi, one must not rush into it.

Every time he meditated, he could only peel off a little bit of the true qi. According to his own estimation, it would take several months to peel out all the true qi in his body.

This made him smile bitterly, and he could only blame the fact that the true energy in his body was too strong and too huge!
The days passed quietly in this monotonous and boring process.

Xu Xingchen himself didn't feel anything. He was so immersed in it that he seemed to have forgotten the idea of going to the grassland to look for Guo Jing.

In the evening of that day, he came to a relatively remote mountain, jumped up along a steep cliff, and found a place to spend the night in a small valley on the top of the mountain.

As usual, we lit a bonfire, put the washed and peeled wild rabbit meat on the grill, and greeted the nightfall as we roasted it over and over again.

Half an hour later, the barbecue gave off a fragrant aroma, which drifted out of the valley with the mountain breeze and drifted far away.

"Mmm, it smells so good~~~!"

A charming and enchanting female voice floated in from outside the valley and reached Xu Xingchen's ears.
