Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 170 Enthusiasm
Huanglong Prefecture is adjacent to the three prefectures of Lingzhou. In addition to Qingyang Prefecture that Bai Yuan had visited before, there are also Mingyue Prefecture and Wuding Prefecture.

The boundary between Huanglong Prefecture and Mingyue Prefecture is a river that is a hundred meters wide.

There are towering mountains and forests on both sides of the river.

The river is called Qingshui River, named after its clear water.

But there were neither boats nor fishermen on the river, because the Qingshui River flows fast and there are many hidden whirlpools underneath, so even fishermen who are very good at swimming have to be extremely careful.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the center of the Qingshui River.

A young man emerged from the water, holding in his hand a huge fish that was as tall as a man.

If seen by nearby fishermen, they would be horrified.

Because this big fish is the river god they have worshipped for generations.

Bai Yuan pulled the big fish ashore, lit a bonfire by the river to dry his clothes, and also roasted the "River God" at the same time.

He put a lot of thought into hunting this fish monster.

Now he is most interested in the legends about the mountain gods, river gods and the like in the village, because almost all of them are caused by monsters, and they are always accurate.

He happened to come to a nearby village and saw the villagers tying a young girl to a small boat.

After asking around, I learned that there is a custom of young girls offering sacrifices to the river god here, and there is a hole carved on the bottom of the boat.

When the boat carrying the girl enters the river, it will sink by itself.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. In most places in Xuanyang, there is a custom of worshipping mountain gods and river gods, which has caused the deaths of countless innocent girls.

He simply rescued the girl, then went up the river and killed the river god.

A fifth-level monster, very good.

The reinforcement points obtained are good, and the fish meat is also very good.

Monster meat is naturally more fragrant than ordinary meat, and the meat of this fifth-level fish monster is especially delicious. Combined with the spiciness of the fire spirit, it has a unique flavor.

After a while, a fish monster entered Bai Yuan's stomach.

He looked at the enhancement points on the panel.

"Give me more!"

[In the 610th year of your practice of Broken River Blade, you have already repaired the third level of heaven.]

[You have been practicing Broken River Blade for 670 years. Your sword skills have finally reached the master level! ]

[In the 681st year since you practiced Broken River Blade, your ability to find veins has reached perfection.]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Sword Demon, Boxer, Soul Cooker, Picture Artist]

[Skills: Broken River Blade (Master), Demonic Spirit Attraction (Master), Thousand Faces Skill (Master), Sunflower Point Acupuncture (Mastery)]

[Strength Points: 0]

Bai Yuan finally upgraded the Broken River Sword to the master level.

Now he can be called a master of swordsmanship.

If we only talk about swordsmanship, he can already be called the best swordsman.

With several sword techniques added together, he is an old monster who has practiced sword skills for thousands of years. Of course, he is terribly powerful.

at this time--

Bai Yuan only felt that a certain shackle in his body was released, and his strength increased by nearly 30%.

His eyes lit up.

Get into the game!

He didn't expect that his improved swordsmanship would allow him to break through the power barrier earlier.

He became a junior grandmaster just at the age of 25. This speed is incredible.

You know, he is not the kind of martial artist in the three religions who only cares about breaking the mirror. He actually exceeded the limit of the Blood Refining Gate and was forced to enter the Strength Gate.

There are really not many cases like his.

During his communication with Lu Yu.

Lu Yu once told him that if he practiced to the limit at every stage and built a very solid foundation and then made a breakthrough, he might be able to go further.

It is said that this is the method passed down by Emperor Taizu. At least that is what Emperor Taizu and the disciples of the Li royal family did.

However, there is also a huge disadvantage to doing so, which is that it wastes too much time.

You have to know that even a sentient being who has lived two lives is only two hundred years old. Where does he get so much time?

Just like old man Dong, he has been unable to break through the perception barrier.

Fortunately, Bai Yuan has a cheat.
He felt the power in his body and was overjoyed.

What made him even more excited was that his limit was increased by more than ten times.

The limit of a martial artist who has reached the state of entering the realm of strength is frighteningly high, otherwise a genius like Old Man Dong would not have been stuck at the state of entering the realm of strength for thirty years.

But it is also because of thirty years of accumulation that Old Man Dong can achieve such a terrifying record of killing with ease as if cutting vegetables and fighting against opponents of higher levels.

Of course, it is extremely difficult to make further progress once you have made progress.

Even a rare talent like Sect Master Murong Tian took a full twenty-three years to achieve a breakthrough.

In fact, there are very few martial artists who can break through to the level of perception, and there is not even one in a hundred miles.

Moreover, when you reach the state of entering the state of strength, it is not as simple as refining the body.

For example, the sense that a martial artist must have is neither blood nor bone, and has no shape or substance. Even strength can at least be seen as qi, but the sense cannot be captured by ordinary people at all. It is extremely mysterious.

It is not something that can be realized through hard work.

This is why sects place the most emphasis on aptitude and comprehension when selecting disciples, because the deeper you go, the more obvious the gap becomes.

Those who can become a sentient martial artist are all rare geniuses.

Most martial artists who want to gain enlightenment will choose to meditate in seclusion, just like the sect leader Murong Tian. Not many people continue to train their bodies.

Only people like Old Man Dong or the strong men in the army would hardly go into seclusion in order to kill Po Jing.

This is also the reason why the martial arts masters in the army are mostly not at a high level.

For example, General Zhaowu who is currently stationed outside the city of Huanglongfu, is only at the entry level, but his killing power is so great that even the most powerful ones would be a little wary of him.

Martial artists from the three religions of the same level could be killed one by one with one sword.

However, martial artists who can break through to the level of perception are already the best among those who have entered the realm of strength, so their strength is certainly not weak.

Moreover, with the terrifying insight they gained after gaining the sense of enlightenment, other martial artists are full of flaws in their eyes. How can they defeat them?
Therefore, although the strong men in the army are very strong, they can only remain undefeated at most. It is still extremely difficult to kill enemies across levels.

"It's time to go back to the mountain."

He has been away from Wanjun Peak for half a month.

Bai Yuan's clothes had been dried by the campfire. He stood up and headed south.

As soon as Bai Yuan returned to the foot of Wanjun Peak, he saw You Shengnan.

"Senior Sister You, you've returned to the mountain too?" You Shengnan pouted, "Senior Brother Xiong and I have both been back in the mountain for ten days."

As she spoke, she looked at Bai Yuan.

The aura that Bai Yuan now exuded actually made her feel a little depressed. You know, only a strong man at the level of the master of the Thirteen Peaks could make her feel this way.

Could it be that Junior Brother Bai has made another breakthrough? !
But then I thought that Bai Yuan is only 25 years old now. It's impossible, there is no such possibility.

You Shengnan shook her head.

She just thought her idea was ridiculous.

Bai Yuan is very strong, and he has set a terrifying record of killing Xu Kang, the Thunder Hand, but the master of the Thirteen Peaks is much stronger than Xu Kang, so they cannot be compared.

Perhaps in the future Bai Yuan will be able to reach or even surpass the heights of those people, but definitely not now.

Bai Yuan: "How is it going, Master?"

He was out for half a month, spending most of the time in the mountains, so naturally he didn't know the war situation in the north.

You Shengnan sighed softly: "The Demon Sect's background is more terrifying than I imagined. Master has been dragged to the battlefield in the northern border and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in a short time."

Worry rose in her heart.

Although Old Man Dong is extremely powerful, the Demon Sect also has strong men.

If he is not careful, even a martial artist of Old Man Dong’s level will die.

Bai Yuan nodded.

Just as he expected, the battle between Xuan Yang and the Demon Sect would surely be protracted.

But he was not worried about Old Man Dong. The old man was not only strong in fighting ability, but his character was even more terrifying. Such a person could live anywhere and live well.

"It's all because I'm too weak to help Master."

You Shengnan's face was full of self-blame.

Unlike Bai Yuan, she and Xiong Shan have been in Wanjun Peak for more than ten years. During this period, Old Man Dong took them to many battles, so the two of them have a deeper affection for Old Man Dong, who is both their teacher and father.

It's a pity that she is just a strong dirty now.

He might be a local overlord in the county town of Huanglongfu, but he is just an insignificant soldier in the Zhenbei Army.

Countless powerful warriors died on the battlefield in the north.

Even if she went, there was a 80% chance that she would just turn into a handful of dirt in the end, and might even drag down Old Man Dong.

"Senior Sister You, don't think too much."

Bai Yuan saw that You Shengnan was in a low mood, but he could only say a few words of comfort.

Although he has now broken through the entry level, with his current combat power he will not be able to influence the battle situation if he goes to the north.

"Sir, you are back."

As soon as Bai Yuan returned to the courtyard on the top of Wanjun Peak, Liu Qing and Jiang Fei came out to greet him.

Bai Yuan looked exhausted and looked like he was just traveling around the world.

Liu Qing and Jiang Fei hurriedly helped Bai Yuan bathe and change clothes.

Bathing was mostly inconvenient in ancient times, but rich people like Bai Yuan were an exception.

Because there is a half-acre swimming pool in the backyard, and the hot steam rising from it is the hot spring water brought from the mountain.

There is no need to boil or change water like ordinary people do, and half a day will have passed by the time you finish taking a shower.

After a while, Bai Yuan changed into a thin outer garment made of high-quality silk, and all the fatigue from days of running around was swept away.

At this time, Liu Qing came over again.

"Sir, this is a letter for you."

"letter?"

Bai Yuan was stunned.

Linzhou, where Qiaojie was, was a hundred miles away from Huanglongfu. It was considered good to receive one letter a month. It seemed that the postman who delivered the letter was quite diligent.

He took the letter from Liu Qing's hand.

But when he saw that the letter was sent from Lingzhou, he became even more confused.

He doesn't seem to know anyone in Lingzhou.

Bai Yuan still opened the letter.

"Brother Bai, are you doing well lately?"

"I have already headed north to Dingzhou. The scenery here is very beautiful, but there are not many interesting people like Brother Bai."

"Why don't you join the Zhenbei Army, Brother Bai? Wouldn't it be great if the two of us rode horses and killed the enemy?"

"That's all."

"Finally, for the sake of our brotherhood, I'd like to say one more thing: Be careful with Ji Chang."

"I hope you and I can meet again soon, brother."

"Little fish character."

"."

Bai Yuan didn't expect that the person who sent him the letter was Lu Yu.

What he didn't expect was that Lu Yu actually went to the north.

With Lu Yu's personality, he shouldn't go to a dangerous place like the north. Could it be that there is some treasure in the north that he doesn't know about?

However, Bai Yuan was more inclined to believe that Lu Yu was forced to go there by the general of Lingzhou.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between Lu Yu and the general was, he could tell from just a few words that the two had an unusual relationship.

Lu Yu probably wrote this letter with the intention of tricking him into joining the army in the north.

Of course Bai Yuan ignored all the previous content.

His eyes fell on the two words "Ji Chang".

Ji Chang is the name of the General Zhaowu outside the city.

What did Lu Yu mean when he told him to be careful of Ji Chang?
To sow discord? Or is it true?
Bai Yuan frowned.

But no matter what, it seems that we have to be on guard against General Zhaowu.

The Lingzhou Army had been stationed in Huanglongfu for more than a month and had always been at peace with the Shenfu Gate. People in Huanglongfu City thought that the Lingzhou Army was really just there to set up defenses.

But Lu Yu has a powerful background and is a member of the Lingzhou Army, so he must be more informed than ordinary people. Bai Yuan does not think that he is talking nonsense.

But now he has the ability to survive in troubled times. A martial artist who has entered the realm of strength will not live too badly no matter where he is, not to mention that he is not comparable to ordinary martial artists who have entered the realm of strength.

In the fight between two martial artists who have entered the realm of strength, sometimes just one sword strike can kill the opponent. There is no other way, the limit of the Ru Jin level is too high. Just like the old man Dong before, although he is only a Ru Jin martial artist, his actual combat power may not be his opponent even for a Zhi Gan martial artist.

The current Bai Yuan is very similar to the old man Dong in the past. If one only treats him as an ordinary martial artist, one will suffer a great loss and even pay the price with his life.
