Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 398: Formation War Puppet
After saying this, the aura around Liang Jin suddenly surged, and the powerful internal force was like a turbulent undercurrent, condensing in the palm of his hand in an instant.

He suddenly grabbed Xiaoyu through the air, and the vast and powerful internal force was like an invisible giant hand, instantly wrapping Xiaoyu tightly and making her unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Jin suddenly retracted his arm, and Xiaoyu was sucked from the back of the Divine Condor like a magnet, and landed steadily on Liang Jin's saddle.

Liang Jin took advantage of the situation and pressed Xiaoyu on the horse's back, raised his hands high, and "Pa pa pa!" several slaps landed heavily on Xiaoyu's buttocks.

Xiaoyu felt pain and burst into tears. Her cries echoed in the empty wilderness, revealing a sense of grievance and unwillingness.

When the Divine Eagle saw Xiaoyu like this, he felt so distressed that he couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a dissatisfied cry, as if speaking up for Xiaoyu.

Liang Jin's eyes flashed like lightning, he pointed his finger at the Divine Condor and said sternly:
"I am your master, shut up!"

The Divine Eagle had no choice but to close its beak, but there was still a hint of worry in its eyes.

After teaching Xiaoyu a lesson, Liang Jin put away his angry expression and shouted in a deep voice:
"I've taught you countless times, never shoot anyone with a bow and arrow again!"

"I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone, but even so, this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Did you hear that? Answer me!"

Xiaoyu continued to cry, with big tears rolling down her cheeks, and she cried so sadly.

Liang Jin then slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that Xiaoyu couldn't speak yet.

Although he has spent a long time training Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu can now fully understand human language, for some reason, she is unable to speak and can only roar like a wild beast.

Liang Jin couldn't tell whether it was a physical or mental illness that caused her to be like this, or whether she just didn't want to talk.

After all, he was not a child psychologist and had no idea why.

"Okay, okay, I won't hit you anymore."

Liang Jin's tone softened and he patted Xiaoyu gently:

"Get up, there's something I need you to do."

When Xiaoyu heard this, she stopped crying immediately and crawled into Liang Jin's arms, hugging Liang Jin tightly with her two little hands, as if she was afraid of being abandoned.

Xiaoyu is now becoming more and more dependent on the Divine Condor and Liang Jin.

On weekdays, she would either ride on the back of the Divine Eagle to travel around, or nestle in Liang Jin's arms to seek warmth, as if she would only feel at ease when she was with them.

Only to these two would she show her particularly intimate side.

Even when facing Xiao Liu and Lei Zhen, Xiaoyu would not take the initiative to attack, but always remained vigilant like a wild beast.

As for outsiders, she was even more aggressive. Anyone who dared to approach her would either be scratched and bitten at the throat, or shot at the vital parts with an arrow from her bow.

He was ruthless and didn't take human life seriously at all, showing his vicious nature.

Liang Jin knew very well that training Xiaoyu could not be achieved overnight, but had to be done step by step and not too hastily.

At that moment, he stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction everyone was going, and said:

"You and the Divine Eagle fly in that direction, and try to make sure others see you along the way."

"Keep flying until dark, and then come back to us."

"Remember, if you encounter someone with a golden eagle embroidered on their clothes, stay away from them and don't get close."

"Understand?"

When Lei Zhen and Xiao Liu heard this, they immediately understood Liang Jin's intention.

The intention was to use the Divine Condor to attract other people's attention, making the enemy mistakenly believe that Liang Jin and his group were still moving along the first road, while they secretly passed through Chencang and took the second road.

Xiaoyu nodded obediently to show that she understood, with tears still hanging on her pink face.

Liang Jin pointed at the back of the Divine Condor and said:

"Then go ahead."

Xiaoyu immediately jumped off the horse and nimbly leaped onto the back of the Divine Eagle.

The divine eagle spread its huge wings and flapped them hard, immediately creating a gust of wind and flying high in the direction Liang Jin pointed.

Liang Jin and his group rode forward on horseback.

Lei Zhen rode his horse, looking at the direction where Xiaoyu left, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Xiaoyu, this girl, seems to have reached the peak of the eighth rank. In the near future, I'm afraid she will break through to the seventh rank."

"This cultivation speed is simply genius!"

"When I was her age, I was far worse than her."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jin nodded slightly in agreement.

He also noticed that Xiaoyu's martial arts training speed was astonishingly fast.

When Xiaoyu first followed him, she was only at the ninth level of strength, but at her current progress, she would probably be able to enter the seventh level within ten days.

You know, she is only ten years old!
A ten-year-old seventh-grade warrior, such talent is truly astonishing.

Liang Jin couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Xiaoyu's cultivation speed is so fast, besides her extraordinary talent, is there any other reason?
If you think about it carefully, there are two main reasons why Xiaoyu is different from others.

First, she lacks humanity and is closer to animals, and can easily communicate with other animals.

Secondly, although she looks cute, she is actually very vicious. She kills people without blinking an eye at a young age. She can be said to be a very vicious person.

"Could it be that these two points have accelerated her martial arts training speed?"

When Liang Jin thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Lei Zhen standing beside him.

After all, Lei Zhen is recognized by the system as the most righteous person among the nine supreme people.

After taking a closer look, Liang Jin was slightly surprised and said:

"Second brother, judging from your current state, it seems that you have reached the peak of the fifth rank."

"It won't be long before I can achieve a breakthrough?"

Compared to when they first met, Lei Zhen's cultivation has indeed improved a lot.

Lei Zhen nodded and said with emotion:
"This is all thanks to the careful guidance of that senior from the strange land." "That senior not only taught me exquisite boxing techniques, but also sparred with me many times to hone my martial arts skills, and gave me a lot of guidance during that time."

"Over the past few days, I have gained a lot of insights, and my cultivation speed has naturally increased a lot."

After hearing this, Liang Jin seemed to be thinking about something.

Could it be that people at the Ninth Realm all have extreme personalities, so their cultivation speed is faster than that of ordinary people?
Coupled with the special blessing of [Nine Sky Boundless], their cultivation speed is further improved?

Liang Jin thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.

His clone on Hualong Island once heard Yu Linglong mention that people with extreme personalities would indeed cultivate slightly faster than ordinary people.

However, this is not entirely a good thing.

Although people with extreme personalities can learn martial arts quickly, they are also more likely to go astray than ordinary people.

Therefore, many warriors, while practicing martial arts, also focus on cultivating their minds, striving to make their states of mind neutral and peaceful, so as to reduce the risk of going astray.

At that moment, Liang Jin said:
"Second brother, although your martial arts training speed has increased, you must not forget to cultivate your state of mind, so as not to go astray."

Lei Zhen responded proudly:

"Don't worry, big brother. I, Lei Zhen, have always been upright and honest throughout my life. I have never done anything that would offend my conscience. How could I easily become possessed by evil?"

Liang Jin shook his head helplessly.

This is a misunderstanding of many warriors. They always think that as long as they don't do bad things, they won't easily go astray.

In fact, being possessed by a demon has no direct correlation with good and evil. Good and evil are nothing but people's subjective moral judgments, and being possessed by a demon is not affected by this.

Whether it is extreme good or extreme evil, they all belong to the category of extremes. As long as they are in an extreme state, there is a risk of going astray.

Liang Jin was too lazy to explain this to Lei Zhen at the moment. He knew in his heart that even if he explained it now, Lei Zhen would probably not listen.

Fortunately, Lei Zhen was very convinced of the "predecessor" who taught him boxing in [Nine Sky Boundless].

Therefore, Liang Jin planned to explain the principles to Lei Zhen alone as a "senior" when he opened [Nine Skies Without Boundaries] next time.

At this time, Xiao Liu on the side looked a little gloomy.

Xiaoyu's realm improved rapidly, and even Lei Zhen made a breakthrough, but he was still standing still and was still the lowest ninth-grade warrior.

Xiao Liu knew that he had average talent and poor aptitude, but he never expected that he was far inferior to even a little girl.

Although Liang Jin taught him the "Great Sumeru Sword Style", he encountered many difficulties in practicing it. After a long time of hard work, he only reached the second level.

A mediocre person like him should be at the bottom among warriors and would never be able to make a name for himself in his life.

However, by chance, he was able to become sworn brothers with Lei Zhen and Liang Jin.

Xiao Liu knew very well that this opportunity had changed his destiny, but it also made him feel a lot of pressure.

He felt that he couldn't help much, so he could only try his best to take on various odd jobs.

Now that he saw that everyone was making progress, he felt more and more uncomfortable, and he knew very well that if it were not for that sworn brotherhood, he would not be qualified to walk with everyone else.

Liang Jin noticed Xiao Liu's depression, glanced at him, and said:

"Sixth Son, there's no need to worry too much about your martial arts skills."

"In this world, some people are born with martial arts prodigies, while others are born without any talent for martial arts."

"People's talents vary. Geniuses have their own brilliance, and ordinary people have their own way of living."

"Don't burden yourself too much. We are all brothers and we won't look down on you."

After hearing this, Lei Zhen nodded.

Although he was not good at comforting people, he still reached out and patted Xiao Liu's shoulder heavily.

Xiao Liu was comforted by the two and the pressure in his heart was immediately relieved. He said:
"Thank you, brothers. I will definitely work hard in the future."

So everyone continued on their journey.

As we walked along, we saw that the population became increasingly sparse.

They passed through two villages, but found them both deserted.

The wide-open doors and windows opened and closed automatically with the strong wind, making a series of "creaking" sounds. Almost everything that could be moved away in the deserted village was half empty.

Liang Jin couldn't help but think of the scene when he first arrived in Changzhou. At that time, disaster victims could be seen everywhere on the road, and there were even starving people and packs of stray dogs.

But now, in just one month, it is difficult to find even a single person, not even stray dogs.

Occasionally, strong winds blow up the dust on the ground, revealing the white bones underneath.

"Bone bones are exposed in the wild, and no rooster crows for a thousand miles."

At this moment, Liang Jincai truly realized what kind of desolate and terrifying scene this poem described.

Liang Jin also roughly knew that the victims had either starved to death or had migrated away to escape the famine.

The sun gradually set, and the heat on the road subsided a little.

At this time, it was time to sign in.

"Counting the days, it's been exactly one month since I drew this clone."

Liang Jin thought to himself:

"I just don't know what I can get by signing in at the end of the month."

Although he already knew that he could no longer obtain clones by signing in every month, he still looked forward to getting some good things by signing in at the end of the month.

At this moment, Liang Jin chose to [sign in].

The next moment, a string of information suddenly popped up on the system panel.

[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and receiving the reward: Formation War Puppet (Seven Star Sword Formation)]
