C5

Seeing the dantian healing, Zi Chen became excited and overjoyed, to the point where he only paid attention to the dantian and neglected his body.

The energy that surged out from the heart was like fresh blood, flowing towards every corner of Zi Chen's body. Blood, bones, bone marrow, skin, and every part of his body, were undergoing transformations under this energy.

If it was said that the Chinese sage root's energy had been absorbed by the heart before, then now, the heart had received a reward. The rewards were far greater than the absorption, and the ratio was as high as ten times.

A five hundred year old Chinese sage root had paid the same amount of pure energy as a five thousand year old Chinese sage root, but this kind of energy was not even ten percent yet. When it entered the skeletal body, the remaining ninety percent went to Zi Chen's dantian to repair it.

His body had transformed, the dantian was healing, this was another good fortune after the great good fortune from before, and what caused all this, was naturally the ball of silver light in Zi Chen's heart.

All the energy was released by the round ball. To be able to repair a damaged dantian, it was not because the Chinese sage root was amazing, but because the round ball had consumed almost all of its silver energy, to the point that the silver round ball had become somewhat transparent.

The cold wind gradually stopped blowing, and the snow that had filled the sky began to disperse. Although the ground was still covered in pure white snow, a ray of sunlight fell from the sky.

In this cold winter, a sunny day is a good day.

The weather was good, and people's moods were very good. Zi Chen's current moods were very good. Although his strength had not been restored to his peak and he was only a little kid in the first level of zhenqi, Zi Chen was already very happy to be able to store the zhenqi.

Aside from that, Zi Chen's body had become stronger. After cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art for the first time, his physique had increased by a very high level. Its degree of toughness seemed to be no weaker than that of a Level Four Vicious Beasts.

It took almost half a day to repair the dantian, and the Sun had already arrived at its proper place, so it seemed like the pursuers were coming.

After carefully eliminating the footprints, Zi Chen hid himself behind a big boulder. Zi Chen understood Zhao Can very well and knew that he would be chased by him very soon.

Time continued to pass by second by second, even with the sunlight shining down on him, Zi Chen felt a chill in the air.

Finally, after an hour of waiting, Zi Chen heard a voice.

"This damned bastard, if I catch him, I'll skin him alive!" The first thing that rang out was Lin Hao's voice.

Lin Hao was at the very front, cursing and swearing. His clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood as if he had fought a big battle. His face was currently filled with anger, and then finally came the gloomy Zhao Can. His clothes were relatively undamaged.

Last night, he had actually miscalculated. Outside the cave, he shouted a few times, but after there was no response, he allowed Lin Hao to enter.

But unexpectedly, Zi Chen did not see it, but saw a large snake that was sleeping.

Level Four Vicious Beasts, Blood Python.

Lin Hao let out a strange cry and quickly ran out, but he had still alarmed the blood python.

In the middle of the night, in the valley, the three of them fought a blood python. Even though they had killed the blood python by luck, their clothes were tattered and their clothes were tattered.

"It's all because of you, you're still confident in your understanding of Zi Chen. But now, you've fallen into his trap." The injured Lin Hao was holding back his resentment, as he did not see Zi Chen's grievance, he naturally wanted to vent it on Zhao Can.

The latter could only bear it because he had miscalculated, even though he had already endured half the night.

Seeing how heavily injured Lin Hao is, he should be able to first take care of him. Once he is caught off guard, it would also be easy to get to him. " Zi Chen hid in the distance and watched carefully while calculating everything.

Seeing Lin Hao's pale face and messy footsteps, he made his decision.

He calculated their route and slowly moved towards the other side of the boulder.

"A person like you, other than playing around and attacking from behind, there's nothing good about you. I really don't know what a guy like you is worthy to be friends with." Because of Zhao Can's so-called self-confidence, Lin Hao was injured, so he kept scolding nonstop along the way.

"Enough, Lin Hao, shut your stinky mouth." After enduring for half a day, he had finally reached his limit. Zhao Can then erupted and roared at Lin Hao.

At this time, the three of them had already reached the large boulder that Zi Chen was on, and the distance between them was not more than ten meters.

Zi Chen was obviously very careful, staring straight at Lin Hao, ready to kill him in one strike.

Lin Hao was completely unaware. Hearing Zhao Can's retort, he immediately turned his head, looked at Zhao Can angrily, and said: "What did you say? Do you dare... "

Before Lin Hao could finish speaking, he saw Zhao Can's expression change, and at the same time, his own Eldest Brother's expression changed as well.

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind from behind him, followed by a slender white hand suddenly coming from behind to stop his face.

"Crack!"

A sound of a Neck being cut off came out. Lin Hao's eyes widened as he kneeled on the ground.

As his life force dissipated, Lin Hao was already dead. The previous turn of his body gave Zi Chen a very good time to attack.

"Zi Chen, it's you! Die!"

When Lin Hao died, two cold voices sounded out, and the two of them displayed their third-rate footwork, wielding their weapons, they rushed towards Zi Chen.

"Puff!" "Pfft!"

Zi Chen had already retreated several meters away. At this moment, he was holding a bundle in his hand, and there was a wound on his right arm that was half a finger long. Blood flowed out from the wound. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain on his left shoulder. He was also stabbed by a sharp weapon.

Just a moment ago, Zi Chen had made his move and killed Lin Hao, but if he had retreated just like that, Zi Chen would definitely not have been injured in the slightest.

"What? How is that possible?"

In one strike, Zi Chen was already injured, but Zhao Can and Lin Ying were staring with their eyes wide open, looking at Zi Chen in disbelief.

Although he did not dare to say that they were using their full strength, they still possessed eighty percent of their strength. For such an attack, not to mention that Zi Chen was an ordinary person, even a fellow at the fourth level of zhenqi would have his arm cut off and pierced through his left shoulder. Even if it was a Level Four Vicious Beasts, it would still be injured because of it, but Zi Chen had only received light injuries, with superficial wounds.

This physique was truly frightening.

"Humph!"

Without stopping, just as the two of them were in a daze, Zi Chen turned and ran with the baggage.

Since they were already alerting the enemy, the two of them would definitely be on guard. With just the unstable strength of the first level of zhenqi, they naturally could not kill them.

"Ah, Zi Chen, you killed my Younger brother, I will kill you!" Lin Ying roared, following that Lin Ying rushed towards the direction of Zi Chen's escape, holding onto his long knife.

Zhao Can's face darkened, and followed along.

Another chase began.

But this time, Zi Chen who possessed food, took the initiative. He kept going in deeper and his speed was extremely fast. Relying on his tough physique, he was already far ahead of the other two.

"Looks like my estimation wasn't wrong. The toughness of this body, is comparable to that of Level Four Vicious Beasts." After a simple exchange of blows, Zi Chen was extremely satisfied with his body's condition.

Instead, one of the three people who were chasing after the crippled Zi Chen were killed, causing his expression to become even more gloomy. As for the dead pro-Younger brother, Lin Ying did not say a single word.

Neither of them gave up. One was for revenge, the other absolutely had to kill Zi Chen.

Night came again without a sound.

Zi Chen had not slept for a few days and nights already, but he was actually not sleepy at all. Instead, he was very spirited, and in these short few days and nights, he had experienced life and death, two great fortuitous encounters.

After distancing himself, Zi Chen began to cultivate in the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth all rushed towards Zi Chen crazily. After entering his meridians, and circulating for a small cycle, they would enter his heart. Just like before, the heart would absorb this spiritual energy, and after refining it, the spiritual energy would become much purer, bringing with it thunder and lightning, just like blood, it would be transported to every part of the body and to the dantian.

Two hours later, Zi Chen opened his eyes, which were bright with a hint of wild joy.

The broken dantian had been repaired, but it no longer had the strength of its entire body, so not a single drop of the fourth floor's zhenqi remained.

Everything had to start from the beginning, but in merely two hours of cultivation, Zi Chen discovered that he had already reached the first level of zhenqi and had also stabilized at the first level. If he had enough time, given a few more hours, he could definitely break through once again and reach the peak of the first level of zhenqi.

From the first level of zhenqi to the pinnacle, Zi Chen believed that he would be able to reach there in less than a day. And the first time he had cultivated, it had taken him three months.

In the past, he had trained for three months, but now it required a day. Zi Chen's current cultivation speed could be said to be terrifying.

With food, the dantian had recovered, and he had the potential to quickly increase his own strength, so Zi Chen was already prepared to fight a prolonged battle.

The longer this chase dragged on, the more advantageous it was for him. After eating the rations and running away, he would open up more distance before continuing his cultivation. This process repeated over and over again.

By the time the sky brightened up, Zi Chen's zhenqi had already reached the peak of level 1, and he could break through to level 2 at any time.
