"You … "You are a demon …"

Chi Ming still had one last breath of life left. Seeing Liu Yang's death, he stared at him in terror, his voice weak to the extreme.

Zi Chen slowly walked over, walked in front of Chi Ming, squatted down, and used the other party's green clothes to wipe the blood off his hands, then said indifferently: "If you want to kill someone, then you must have the awareness of being killed."

After that, Zi Chen used his other clean hand to search within Chi Ming's embrace. After fumbling around for a while, he truly took out a zhenqi Pill.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you to have one. Thanks, brother." Holding the zhenqi Pill in his hand, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

"Pfft." Chi Ming could not bear Zi Chen's words, he used all of his strength on the last mouthful of blood he spat, then tilted his head, and fell to the ground.

This time, there was truly no sound at all.

Three people died.

Zi Chen stood up and walked to the side of the dead Fu Jie. After fumbling around for a while, he obtained another zhenqi Pellet.

Unfortunately, Liu Yang did not have a zhenqi Pill on him.

"This is opportunity."

Zi Chen's eyes lit up. He took the two zhenqi Pills and left the forest while carrying the baggage. As for the three dead people, Zi Chen was too lazy to take a look at them.

Several kilometers away, next to a small stream, Zi Chen washed his hands, simply ate some rations, and then found a relatively safe place.

He sat down cross-legged and tried to calm himself down.

Eyes to nose, nose to heart.

Today's gains were great, he had obtained two zhenqi Pills and his strength at the peak of the fourth level of the zhenqi was naturally able to break through as well.

On the fifth floor of the zhenqi, one would have the qualifications to participate in the internal portal examination.

The zhenqi Pill melted in his mouth and entered his stomach. It felt warm and pure spiritual energy gushed into his limbs and bones.

The Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art was circulating, and just like before, after circulating less than half a cycle, this energy was absorbed by the heart …

After a few breaths of time, following the sudden heartbeat of the heart, a pure wave of silver energy appeared in the heart. Most of the energy entered the blood of the skeletal body and only a small portion converged into the dantian.

Many silver energy had already gathered within Zi Chen's dantian, and a few small bolts of lightning occasionally appeared within this silver energy.

Under the infusion of external energy, the silver energy within the dantian suddenly trembled and began to tremble, as if it was about to undergo some sort of metamorphosis.

"My body has absorbed too much energy, I can't smoothly break through. It seems I can't be stingy." Zi Chen sighed and swallowed the other zhenqi Pill.

After that, as his heart shook, an unending stream of energy poured into the dantian, causing the entire silver energy to undergo a metamorphosis.

The energy in the dantian became even stronger … At the same time, within Zi Chen's body, every drop of blood, cells, bones, and even his bone marrow was changing.

In a trance, Zi Chen seemed to have the feeling that his own physique had broken through again, and was now comparable to that of a six levels Vicious Beasts.

After a long while, when the breakthrough was complete, Zi Chen opened his eyes. In that instant, it was as if lightning flashed across his eyes.

"zhenqi's fifth floor, I have finally broken through."

Zi Chen's face revealed a hint of joy. To be able to take this step, success in entering the internal portal, was equivalent to opening another door for himself. In the future, the world would be very exciting.

There was still close to a month's time before the internal portal test. In this period of time, Zi Chen did not want to cause any more trouble, so he did not go back. Instead, he stayed in the forest for a while.

He calmed his heart and trained.

During the day, Zi Chen would work hard to cultivate the Battle skills.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

This sort of sound could always be heard in the forest. Great trees fell from the sky one after another, and the roars of fierce tigers rang out without end, startling away many small animals.

At night, Zi Chen would cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art, and the surrounding natural energy would quickly gather towards Zi Chen. After going through the heart's absorption, they would once again report back to him.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The forest was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the spring had already passed.

"The internal portal assessment should also begin."

Early in the morning, Zi Chen opened his eyes from his cross-legged position. Today, he would begin his journey home and fight for the right to enter the internal portal.

"In the battles of the past, first place will receive a Second-Rate Combat Technique and three zhenqi Pellets will be rewarded. I wonder what the prize for this year's first place will be?" Zi Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.

The Spirit Martial Sect was bustling with noise and excitement.

The internal portal test was held every two years, and the wrong opportunity was only given two more years. In the bustling atmosphere, Zi Chen's return didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Zi Chen, you're finally back. I've been worried to death about you during this period." Miao Kong was in his room when he saw Zi Chen coming back, and exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

"I'm fine. I just didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I stayed out for a while." Zi Chen laughed.

"I heard that after you guys left that day, Fu Jie and Chi Ming also left together with you. Did you meet them?" Miao Kong asked.

"They're dead, the zhenqi Pill is mine …" Zi Chen explained what happened that day.

"In such a short period of time, your growth is quite scary. It seems that this time, you will be able to become the first in the exam." Miao Kong laughed.

"It's just that there's hope, but I can't guarantee it."

"The fourth level of the zhenqi is enough to kill a fifth level expert of the zhenqi, and now that you have made a breakthrough, who can still be your match?"

Just as Zi Chen returned, Wang Meng, who had refined three zhenqi Pills, had also reached the critical point of his breakthrough. The surrounding Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth surged and gathered towards Wang Meng, and within the dantian, the zhenqi was also undergoing a metamorphosis.

"Sixth level of the zhenqi, haha, this time the first place is mine." After a while, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth returned to normal and Wang Meng opened his eyes with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Tetramethylenetetrahydrazine, Tetramethylenetetrahydrazine."

Just as he broke through, Wang Meng was in a good mood, but at this time, an anxious voice sounded out from outside the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a green-clothed disciple walked in quickly. He said anxiously, "Tetramethylenetetrahydrazine, something bad happened. Zi Chen returned, but Fu Jie and Chi Ming did not return. Even Liu Yang did not return."

A cold light flashed in Wang Meng's eyes, and he asked: "When did this happen?"

"Just now, Zi Chen just returned."

Before Wang Meng went into closed doors cultivation, he had made Lin Mi stand guard and watch, waiting for Fu Jie and the others to return. It was just that after so many days, Fu Jie and the others had not come, but Lin Mi had actually seen Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, I never thought that you would actually play the pig to eat the tiger, you truly deserve to die." Wang Meng was infuriated. Previously, Zhao Can and the others were unknown, but now, they had not returned yet. If it was a coincidence, Wang Meng wouldn't believe it even if he beat them to death.

"Pretending to be pigs and eating the tiger, Tetramethylenetetrahydrazine, you mean to say that Fu Jie and Fu Jie were killed?" Lin Mi felt that it was really hard to believe.

"It's hard to say, but it's possible. If Zi Chen broke through to the fifth level of the zhenqi, he would have used the zhenqi Pill, and Fu Jie and Chi Ming would be in trouble." Wang Meng's eyes flashed with a cold light, "But so what if he broke through? In the second round of the competition, it's best not to let me meet him, or else I will tear him apart."

The internal portal assessment was divided into two rounds.

The first round was a test of strength, while the second round was a test of fighting strength.

The examination was nearing its end, and all the disciples that had gone out to visit Spirit Martial Sect had returned one after another. Some were happy, some were sad, and some were naturally happy when they broke through to the fifth level of zhenqi.

When Zi Chen came back, it was in the morning, but at noon, there were people looking for him.

The one who came was Lin Xue.

She had a slim figure, dressed in the same clothes as the Spirit Martial Sect, standing outside Miao Kong's door. Her beautiful green face was like a newly opened blue lotus.

The outer sect disciples returned one after another. There were a lot of people, so naturally there were people who saw Lin Xue standing outside Miao Kong's door.

Lin Xue's face might not be able to compare to the goddess Su Mengyao's, but she was like a blue lotus that possessed a different kind of temperament, a different kind of gentleness. If it wasn't for Su Mengyao's protection, who knows how many times she would have been viciously killed.

Standing outside Miao Kong's door today, naturally caused one to have endless reverie.

Isn't that Miao Kong's room? Why is Lin Xue standing outside?

"Bullshit, he's waiting for Zi Chen, I really don't know what kind of dog shit luck this brat has left. Isn't it just carrying the heavily injured Lin Xue, not only did he get lucky, he even made Lin Xue moved."

"This world is simply too terrifying. Even goddesses have set their eyes on poor kids."

"What, Lin Xue is waiting for Zi Chen? Has Zi Chen returned? You offended Wang Meng, so is he not dead yet? "

The crowd in the distance were discussing with each other. All kinds of complicated emotions were spreading, and there was even a sour smell in the air.

"Lin Xue?" Zi Chen walked out of the room. After seeing Lin Xue, he seemed to be very surprised.

"Where have you been all this time? How long have I been searching for you?" Regarding the discussions of the crowd, Lin Xue directly ignored them. At the moment, she only had her eyes on Zi Chen.

"He went to the survival training." Zi Chen scratched his head and said.

"This is for you." Lin Xue laughed softly as a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand.

"What is this?" Zi Chen was startled.

"Hee hee, you'll know once you open it." Lin Xue laughed heartily: "I'm going to enter the internal portal, you can't be too inferior either, otherwise, the gap between us will get bigger and bigger. When I come again to look for you, you will feel even more inferior."

"This is a zhenqi Pill." Zi Chen's expression changed, and she hurriedly shook her head: "No, I cannot accept. I have yet to repay you for saving me that day, how could I accept such a precious item?"

Just like how a blue lotus blossoms, Lin Xue laughed, "I knew you wouldn't want it, don't worry, I didn't give it to you for nothing, but to lend it to you. When you reach the internal portal, you can return it to me. There are two zhenqi Pills in here. If you have any conscience, you can return three to me. "
