C14 (1/2)

Night fell.

Thick smoke billowed out, straight into the starry sky.

Xu Zongyi stood at the highest point, looking at the dense forest in the distance. All he could see was pitch-black darkness, as though he was looking at an invisible future.

This was the first time since he was young that he went out, the first time during his experiential learning, and the first time he slept out in the open.

Previously, he had relied on his physique to gain the upper hand in the Great Earth Hall, but now he was much weaker in terms of actual combat.

The disciples from the four courtyards were spread out on the ground near the Perfection Grass.

Only after Xiao E had helped everyone take care of everything did she come to Xu Zongyi's side. ”Zong Yi, do you feel a little discouraged?”

”Not at all.” Xu Zongyi shook his head. There was only admiration in his heart, he was indeed different from Xu Zhengdao.

”Don't take it to heart, Miss Xin Die, righteous path young master, they have been taught from a young age.” Don't take it to heart, Miss Xin Die, righteous path young master, they have been taught from a young age. Xiao E smiled sweetly as she encouraged Xu Zongyi.

After all, Xiao E had watched him grow up. How could Xu Zongyi, who especially wanted to break away from his sinful descendants, not care about his own strength? After all, if he wanted to obtain first place, he needed merit points.

”I will. Sister Xiao E, you've been busy all day, hurry up and rest.” Xu Zongyi nodded with a faint smile. Right now, he was only a step away from entering the Qi Drawing Realm.

In the past few months, he would drink water from the four-sided jar every day, and all the impurities in its skin would be expelled. Now, it was no longer the same as before, he had to take a shower several times a day.

Before he left, he discovered that the water in the four-sided jar was related to his own strength. The water in it now weighed 1500 Jin.

If it was used for normal drinking, it would last for over 49 days.

Xu Zongyi pondered over what he was going to do next as he kept watch. Xu Zhengdao and Xu Xindie's methods had brought quite a bit of shock to his heart today.

It was important to have his own magic tool.

As he thought about it, he would occasionally throw the torch into the wall of flames so that it would continue to burn.

In a blink of an eye, it was about to become ugly. Suddenly, at least three meter long Fire Scale Snakes broke out from the wall of fire.

These Fiery-Scaled Snakes had already reached the Qi Drawing Realm and possessed a strength of a thousand.

One must know that even an ordinary human being who had stepped into the Qi Drawing Realm only had a strength of five hundred.

Xu Zongyi said in a stern voice, ”There's a Flaming Snake, wake up!”

Holding the foolish sword in his hand, he smashed a ten-foot-long Flaming Scaled Snake that was approaching him until it was snapped at the waist, and a miserable hissing sound echoed out.

All the disciples from the various academies woke up at the first possible moment and guarded the entrance to the valley.

It was at this moment that a four Zhang long Flaming Scaled Snake pounced over from the other side of the wall of fire, swinging its tail horizontally at Xu Zongyi.

Two thousand.

Xu Zongyi frowned as a whistling sound echoed through the air like the sound of a long whip being pulled out.

He used the foolish sword in his hand to block, and almost instinctively, both he and his sword were sent flying.

The hand holding the sword was on the verge of spasming. The bones of his hands were almost broken, and the vibration of his strength almost caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

He flipped over and retreated a few steps as he landed, only then did he manage to stop the Flaming Snake.

”You're courting death!” Xu Zhengdao appeared out of thin air and threw out a horizontal slash from the Skyfrost Sword in his hand.

Under the gazes of everyone present, a cold light flashed by.

The Flaming Snake that had drawn the Qi into its bones and the nearby Flaming Snake were cut in half. The other five Winter Court's male disciples and Xu Xindie attacked at the same time.

Nearly a hundred of the Fire Scale Snakes that wanted to ambush had all been killed. Their movements were extremely fast and swift.

However, there was still an unending stream of Flaming Scale Snakes that passed through the wall of fire and headed straight for him.

Xu Zongyi felt as if his flesh and blood were boiling as he rapidly charged forward. The fool sword danced in his hand as he breathed in and out through his pores. Boundless amounts of spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered over him.

He had been close to absorbing Qi into his body, but after receiving the attack from the Flaming Snake, his blood and flesh had been greatly shaken. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he borrowed the external force to vibrate his muscles, allowing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to quickly enter his body and break through the shackles.

In that instant, Xu Zongyi realized the essence of the technique and focused all of his attention to the point where the muscles in his body could breathe on their own. It was as if his pores were opening up layer after layer.

When the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth drills into one's muscles, it will cause quite a bit of pain. Gradually, it will be replaced by an increase in strength because the muscles will always receive the baptism of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

On the surface of his body, there were a lot of impurities being washed out.

”1600 jins!”

”1700 jins!”

”1800 jins!”

”Nineteen hundred kilograms!”

”2000 jins!”

Xu Zongyi had smashed all the Flaming Snake into a bloody pulp along the way. Although the stupid sword was only three feet long, he had danced it repeatedly.

It was at this moment that another Flaming Scaled Snake, in the realm of Qi Drawing, shot over from the other side of the wall of fire. It opened its bloody mouth, intending to swallow Xu Zongyi whole.

Xu Zhengdao felt a chill in his heart and wanted to make his move.

Xu Zongyi let out a loud shout, ”I'll do it!”

The stupid sword in his hand slanted upwards and smashed into the jaw of this Flaming Snake with all his might.

A miserable hiss rang out. Its lower jaw had been smashed, and blood was gushing out.
