From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 73: Hibernating Dragon Power

Jiang Chen followed Elder Shi into the bronze door.

Mysterious lines suddenly lit up under his feet, illuminating the space behind the door.

The mountain space behind the door was three meters high, with rows of solid wood shelves arranged in it. It was quite similar to the libraries Jiang Chen had seen in his previous life.

However, what was placed on these bookshelves at this moment were not books, but palm-sized jade slips of inheritance that were emitting faint light. They were quite similar to the "Lion's Roar" jade slip that Jiang Chen had used before.

"These are all dark energy martial arts. Some are learned by the high-level masters of the sect, and some are collected from other places. The quality varies, but most of them are top-notch dark energy martial arts."

Shi Du patiently explained to Jiang Chen, and then led Jiang Chen all the way to the deepest part of the entire underground space.

There is also a thick stone door about ten feet high, which blends in perfectly with the surrounding walls.

Ishidu took out a key from his sleeve and inserted it into the keyhole in the middle of the stone door.

boom--

The entire stone door seemed to weigh dozens of tons and slowly opened.

Inside is a narrow space of ten feet in radius.

In the middle is a square stone platform with three different carved patterns on it.

Shidu stepped forward and stood beside the stone platform. "This stone platform is engraved with the dark energy martial arts passed down from the Dragon Elephant Sect. Hundreds of years ago, a genius from our Dragon Tiger Sect passed the Dragon Elephant Sect Dou Kui and became a deacon of the Dragon Elephant Sect step by step. He fought for the benefits for our Dragon Tiger Sect. All three sects have the most advanced dark energy martial arts."

Jiang Chen also stepped forward at the same time, his eyes sweeping over the three carved lines on the square stone platform.

A long black-scaled dragon, a ball of condensed fire, and a ferocious giant elephant.

"Sleeping Dragon Force, Flaming Sun Force, and Giant Elephant Force. These are the three hidden force martial arts. You can choose one."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if the elder could give me some pointers?"

Shi Du said: "Zhelong, as the name suggests, is a dormant dragon. This martial art has a very high explosive power. If you can cultivate the dark power technique in the future, it will be a great bonus in this regard."

"The Flame Sun Force has a layer of flaming sun power attached to it, which can burn the enemy in close combat, while the Giant Elephant Force is even stronger in terms of strength."

"These three martial arts are extremely powerful, far superior to other martial arts."

"What kind of martial arts do you practice with your Ming Jin?"

Jiang Chen replied: "Subduing Tiger Stick Technique."

Shi Du nodded: "Fu Hu Ming Jin, then practicing Zhe Long Jin is the most appropriate, these two martial arts are considered to be of the same lineage."

Jiang Chen nodded.

As a martial artist practicing internal refining, Shi Du naturally had much more experience in this area than himself. Instead of choosing blindly on his own, it would be better to listen to other people's advice.

"Then I will choose this Zhelong Power."

"Well, just put your hand on the pattern."

Jiang Chen nodded, then stretched out his right hand and placed it on the black-scaled dragon.

The dim carvings quickly glowed, and a series of insights instantly appeared at his fingertips and flowed into Jiang Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, quickly constructing the practice method of "Zhelong Jin", related skills and insights, and auxiliary practice methods.

The function of this stone platform is essentially the same as that of the inheritance jade slip, except that most inheritance jade slips can only be used once, but this stone platform can be reused.

After a while.

Jiang Chen memorized the entire "Zhelong Jin" in his mind.

He slowly withdrew his hand, and the carving of a black-scaled dragon on the stone platform in front of him gradually dimmed.

"I have remembered it. Thank you, Elder." Jiang Chen bowed.

Shi Du nodded: "It's okay. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me. I live in the Qingyang Pavilion in the sect."

"Yes." Jiang Chen replied.

Afterwards, he followed Shi Du, left the stone chamber and returned to the outside world.

When they saw Jiang Chen coming out, the discussions outside suddenly stopped.

Zhao Gaoyang and several other children from outer city families looked at Jiang Chen with complicated eyes.

After a while, Pang Chunjun was the first to break the silence, laughing and saying, "When I first saw Brother Jiang, I felt that he must be a rare talent. Now, in just one hour, my guess has been confirmed!"

"Today, three more of our outer city warriors have successfully passed the Dragon and Tiger Path, which is quite a big progress!"

"Come on, come on, Brother Jiang, why don't you come drink with me? I know a restaurant in the inner city. The food is very good, perfect for celebrating our success."

Jiang Chen agreed with a smile. It was just a meal, it wouldn't take much effort.

Making friends with these geniuses from other cities can be considered as expanding one's own network.

Afterwards, the group walked forward together, leaving the Dragon and Tiger Faction’s base, and after walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a prosperous five-story restaurant.

……

Inner city restaurant, wing room.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere in the room gradually became lively.

"When I saw Bai Xuan's face, it froze. It was so damn interesting."

"Brother Jiang really made us proud this time."

Zhao Gaoyang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "We are definitely not as talented as Brother Jiang in martial arts. Fortunately, we are a few years older than Brother Jiang, so at least we are not behind him in cultivation."

As he said that, he turned to look at Jiang Chen and joked, "It will take me some time to enter the Iron Bone realm. When the time comes, I will go to the inner gate to explore the way for Brother Jiang!"

"Yes, I'm almost there too. When I enter the inner sect, Brother Jiang will have to call us Senior Brothers!"

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.

Call me senior brother?
Who calls who?
He looked at Zhao Gaoyang curiously: "Brother Zhao, how many months do you have left to enter the Iron Bone stage?"

Zhao Gaoyang thought for a moment and said, "About half a year... Why, Brother Jiang, do you want to compete with me?"

"...I don't mind."

"Hmm? My tendons are perfect, have you thought it through, Brother Jiang?"

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't seem to care, Zhao Gaoyang chuckled and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and then pointed out the window, at a nine-story building towering into the sky in the distance.

"That restaurant is called Wanqing Restaurant. It is the best restaurant in the entire inner city. The food there is not only delicious, but also can greatly benefit the blood and strengthen the bones and muscles!"

"Let's bet on who will enter the inner gate first. The one who falls behind will ask everyone present to go to the Wanqing Restaurant for a walk."

After Zhao Gaoyang finished speaking, Qi Lanying could not help but said, "Old Zhao, please have some shame. This place costs at least 100 taels per meal. You can afford it, but Brother Jiang doesn't have that much money!"

At this time.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's only one hundred taels. I also want to try the food in Wanqing Restaurant."

Zhao Gaoyang said happily: "I have never tasted it before, but I am lucky this time..."

……

After a casual chat, the bet was made.

Everyone thought that Jiang Chen was about to bleed heavily, and Zhao Gaoyang was also confident about this.

Today was a huge blow to him.

As for Bai Xuan from the Bai family, he can still see some hope of catching up.

But the strength and skills that Jiang Chen displayed today were so great that he could hardly even compare to him.

I originally thought that Jiang Chen was at most a genius at the same level as myself, but in the blink of an eye, he reached a level that was sky-high.

This really hit Zhao Gaoyang hard, and he felt somewhat envious and jealous.

If he didn't make a big profit from Jiang Chen, he would not be able to get rid of the bitterness in his heart.

Hence the origin of this bet.

After all, Zhao Gaoyang is also a Willow Tendon Perfectionist, so it is impossible for his cultivation progress to be inferior to that of a Willow Tendon Perfectionist...

Jiang Chen naturally didn't care.

Not to mention half a year, in three or four months at most, he would have to enter the Iron Bone realm and buy time for the Dragon Elephant Sect's Dou Kui.

If someone wanted to invite him to dinner, he would naturally be happy to agree.

……

After dinner, several people returned to the outer city and left.

Jiang Chen also returned to the inner courtyard of Shuiqingfang and began to check the "Zhelong Jin" he had just obtained.
