A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 177 Achievement of the Third Level

"Shouzhi." Ximen Yong turned his head and looked at Yuan Shouzhi who was sitting alone in the pavilion.

"Boss." Yuan Shouzhi's eyes moved and he stood up immediately. He knew that Ximen Yong had something to tell him.

"Go check on this Duan Rong and investigate his background. Find out what his purpose is in approaching Kan Kan?"

"Yes."

As a bodyguard, not a child of aristocratic family, he is so close to Kan Kan and can even make Kan Kan call him big brother, he has to be careful.

Although Kankan is smart, he has not been involved in deep affairs after all, and he has not truly experienced the wickedness of human nature.

"Yilin, don't worry. I will take good care of Kankan. No one can hurt him." Ximen Yong looked at the garden in the dark night and muttered to himself with his eyes flashing.

Duan Rong has seldom gone to the canteen of the Central Courtyard to eat recently, because he has been practicing too madly, and the oil and water in the canteen of the Central Courtyard is no longer enough to replenish his consumption.

And during this period of time, Duan Rong has further reduced his sleep.

At dusk that day, Duan Rong walked out of Yuanshun Escort Agency with heavy steps, preparing to go to a shop on the street to eat.

The moment Duan Rong walked out of the escort agency, he suddenly released his spiritual consciousness. All things within a hundred meters around him were immediately displayed in his mind like a holographic scan...

This is a habit Duan Rong has developed recently.

The security within the escort agency is still guaranteed. After all, Yuanshun Escort Agency is one of the major forces in Xiangu County, and there are quite a few guards patrolling and guarding.

However, once you leave the escort agency, it's not certain. After all, the streets are full of good and bad people. Duan Rong has seen a lot of pure and dirty sex recently...

Duan Rong walked down the steps in front of the escort agency. After taking a few steps, he suddenly noticed something unusual. At the alley behind him, there was a pair of eyes staring at him...

Duan Rong continued walking forward, and the man actually left the alley, as if he was following him.

Duan Rong's spiritual sense immediately locked onto that person.

After Duan Rong passed three alleys, the man was still following him closely...

Through his spiritual sense, he could clearly "see" the man's appearance, and Duan Rong could be sure that he had never seen this person before.

Duan Rong walked to the beef soup shop where he often ate with a calm expression. While eating and drinking, he used his spiritual sense to pay attention to the man's every move.

For a moment, Duan Rong's mind was full of thoughts.

Why is this person following me?
Could it be that he was under suspicion in Xie Lei's case? It didn't seem like it. If it was Xie Lei's case, even if the person following him wasn't Xie Daohan or Fan Yuanhai, at least someone from the government office should be following him. But, this person was obviously unfamiliar.

If it wasn't about Jie Lei, who else would be targeting me?

Duan Rong suddenly had an idea. A few nights ago, he, Ximen Kankan, and Jiang Qingyu won a lot of money in the lobby on the first floor of Weiyangfang. It was possible that someone had been watching him and came to check out his identity.

After all, Ximen Kankan and Jiang Qingyu are from aristocratic families, so it is not easy to deal with them. However, as a new escort who joined the escort agency this year, he seems to be much easier to deal with.

"It seems like I'm likely to become a target of some people." Duan Rong thought with a serious look.

After Duan Rong finished his meal, he bought some cooked food for the hedgehog at the nearby shop, and then went back to Liulu to practice meditation. He had decided not to socialize during this period of time, and apart from eating, he would only practice in the escort agency and achieve the third level first.

Even if those people were to scout the area, would they dare to attack Yuanshun Escort Agency? The most important thing was to improve their own strength as quickly as possible.

However, in the following days, Duan Rong discovered that the man disappeared after following and monitoring him for three days.

After that, he never appeared again.

But Duan Rong did not let down his guard, instead he became more cautious and paid attention to his surroundings. In the following days, Ximen Kankan and Jiang Qingyu came to Liulu to ask Duan Rong out several times, but Duan Rong turned them down.

"You practice martial arts every day, and you're almost going crazy!" Ximen Kankan saw that Duan Rong's eyes were bloodshot, which was obviously caused by long-term lack of sleep.

"If you don't go crazy, you won't live!" Duan Rong said with a firm look in his eyes, "You two go ahead. I really don't have time recently."

Seeing that Duan Rong was practicing so hard, the two men decided not to disturb him any further and left in disappointment.

After more than ten days of hard practice, Duan Rong finally achieved the third level of Inner Breath Realm!

Duan Rong was naturally happy, but he did not relax. He just had a good sleep and immediately threw himself into the mad practice of the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm.

After this practice, Duan Rong discovered that the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm was fundamentally different from the previous three levels. No wonder Xiao Yu, Xia Shuangshuang and others were stuck in this realm and found it difficult to achieve success!
The improvement in inner energy after achieving the fourth level is almost equal to the sum of the first three levels.

Moreover, the complexity of the operating circuit of the fourth level of internal energy can almost be called abnormal!

Ximen Kankan was able to achieve the fourth level just by relying on his mental talent. This kid is really capable!

Duan Rong estimated that given the difficulty of achieving the fourth level of Inner Breath, if he could not solve the problem of the drug's penetration, no matter how frantically he practiced, he would not be able to achieve the fourth level of Inner Breath before March next year.

He could only try his best to improve his internal energy. If he failed, he could only participate in the selection assessment at the third level of internal energy.

Although there are risks, the opportunities are still great. After all, among the children of the aristocratic families, only Ximen Kankan has achieved the fourth level of the Inner Breath Realm.

After he himself had cultivated to the fourth level, he suddenly felt that it would not be easy for Xiao Yu and Xia Shuangshuang to break through in a short period of time.

During this period, Duan Rong went out on another escort mission, following the second escort team and making his second trip to Ruyang Prefecture.

The trip was smooth and without any trouble, but Xiao Yu's attitude towards Duan Rong changed a lot along the way.

Although he still taught him some knowledge about escorting, he was obviously much colder towards him.

Even so, Duan Rong respected her even more and always called her "Master" respectfully when they met.

However, every time Duan Rong called Xiao Yu "Master" like this, Xiao Yu always looked at him strangely.

Although Duan Rong and Xiao Yu were somewhat awkward, he had become familiar with the other people in the escort team. The escorts in the second escort team no longer treated Duan Rong as an outsider and often joked with him. Moreover, Duan Rong was not arrogant, so the two escorts also got along well with him.

After all, this was Duan Rong's second trip, and he already knew many things.

This trip was obviously much easier than the first one.

After Duan Rong came back from his second escort mission, he plunged into mad practice again.

At dusk that day, Duan Rong was standing in the yard when suddenly there was a knock on the door of Liulu's courtyard.

Duan Rong's eyes moved and his spiritual sense was released.

The spiritual consciousness passed through the door and the courtyard, sweeping over Ximen Kankan and Jiang Qingyu who were standing outside the door.

Duan Rong "saw" his two friends, smiled slightly, then dispersed his energy, walked over quickly and opened the gate.

Duan Rong had been practicing martial arts behind closed doors before, and also went out on a escort mission, so the three of them hadn't seen each other for more than a month. Now, when they were all together, they were all smiling.

"Good guy! You're in seclusion and on a escort mission, it's really not easy to see you now!" Ximen Kankan joked with a smile.

Duan Rong smiled naively. He knew that he had neglected his two good friends recently, so he immediately led Ximen Kankan and Jiang Qingyu into the courtyard and served them tea and snacks in the pavilion to entertain them.
