Chapter 89 Seventh Level of Mortal Realm: Preparing to Escape

Xu Ning was also surprised that Jiang Mian would gossip about her.

But he ignored Jiang Mian's question and instead asked, "Have you been feeling any better lately?"

Xu Ning's concern was also genuine.

Jiang Mian also helped him a lot in this mine.

Jiang Mian shook his head and looked out into the darkness beyond the iron bars.

A rare look of longing appeared in his eyes: "I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see the outside world again..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning glanced at Jiang Mian and said, "Perhaps there will be an opportunity..."

Jiang Mian smiled, his eyes regaining their indifference: "It should be very difficult."

Jiang Mian sighed. He had seen too many martial arts miners like himself who were gradually worn down and eliminated after being injured in the mine.

Xu Ning could understand Jiang Mian's thoughts.

Given his current condition, he might be buried in a deep pit before long.

After saying just those two simple sentences, Jiang Mian lay down again, facing the wall.

As usual, Xu Ning opened the hidden compartment to check the status of the Thousand Source Worms.

At this moment, the chubby white worm was hiding in the corner because most of the space in the dark compartment was filled with a piece of crystal flame ore the size of a pigeon egg.

This is food that Xu Ning just picked for this plump white worm yesterday.

After five months of observation and analysis, Xu Ning has a new perspective on the Thousand Source Worms' consumption of Crystal Flame Ore.

Previously, Xu Ning believed that the Thousand Source Worm was a converter for him, which could absorb the energy in the Crystal Flame Ore and then expel it.

However, according to Xu Ning's later understanding, although the Crystal Flame Ore was a good thing, it was not extremely precious.

It is just a small piece of crystal flame ore, and in terms of its value, the energy it contains is very scarce.

Xu Ning's current view is that the reason why the Thousand Source Worm excretes higher quality spiritual energy crystals after consuming Crystal Flame Ore is because Crystal Flame Ore contains substances that can improve the efficiency of the Thousand Source Worm in absorbing spiritual energy, rather than because the ore itself contains energy.

Regardless, it is a fact that this Crystal Flame Ore helps the Thousand Source Insects improve the quality of their spiritual energy crystals.

……

The next day.

Xu Ning woke up from her sleep.

At this moment, dawn was breaking.

However, through the iron fence, Xu Ning could already see that some miners had entered the mine shaft.

Xu Ning rubbed his eyes and then looked at Jiang Mian, who was still fast asleep.

So Xu Ning opened the hidden compartment again to check the Thousand Source Worms.

This has become something Xu Ning does every morning and evening without fail.

The hidden compartment opened, and Xu Ning looked inside. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Xu Ning saw that next to the Thousand Source Worm, another pale red spiritual energy crystal was expelled.

Xu Ning couldn't wait to take out the spiritual energy crystal.

-

Energy detected: 2 units —

Is it absorbed?

whether

-

"yes!"

Xu Ning restrained his emotions.

-

Name: Xu Ning

Martial arts:

Spring Breeze Technique (Sixth Level of Mortal Realm: Inner Qi Realm) +

Source Breath Body Tempering Technique (Perfect)

Gale Blade Technique (Perfect)

Light Feather Bow Technique (Minor Mastery) +

Available energy: 135 units

-

"After five months, I've finally accumulated 135 units of energy!"

Under such difficult circumstances, Xu Ning finally gathered the necessary resources to advance to the seventh level of the Mortal Realm, the Mind Realm.

Almost without hesitation, Xu Ning directly clicked the "+" after Spring Breeze Technique.

-

Consume 135 units of energy to upgrade Spring Breeze Technique?

whether

-

"yes!"

The next moment, the 135 units of energy that I had painstakingly accumulated were completely wiped out.

At the same time, Xu Ning first felt a wave of dizziness.

Then, the drowsiness disappeared, and Xu Ning regained consciousness and her mind became clear.

He closed his eyes and clearly felt the flow of internal energy within his body. He could also subtly perceive his muscles, bones, blood vessels, and meridians.

This gave Xu Ning a feeling that he had complete control over his own body.

"The first three levels of the Mortal Realm are for tempering the body; levels four to six are for enhancing internal energy; levels seven to nine are for achieving perfect harmony between physical strength and internal energy, while simultaneously unlocking the limits of a martial artist's perception!"

Xu Ning's heart stirred, and his fist was once again filled with strength.

His body did not grow stronger, nor did his internal energy increase, but if he were to unleash this punch, its power would increase at least threefold.

This is because the Mind Realm has improved Xu Ning's precision in controlling his body.

By subtly adjusting his body, Xu Ning was able to change the way he channeled his internal energy.

Previously, when force was unleashed, the enemy would only feel a stinging sensation.

However, now that Xu Ning has adjusted his method of exerting force, he can make his enemies feel both stinging pain and the weight of the hammer blow, making his methods of attacking enemies more comprehensive.

Moreover, as their strength increases, their perception also becomes stronger.

If one reaches the realm of inspiration, one can even possess the biological instinct to sense danger in advance.

"If I exert force through 'cutting,' these shackles can be easily severed!"

Xu Ning glanced at the shackles on his body and began to make plans.

After advancing to the Mind Realm, the gap between external martial arts such as leg techniques and fist techniques and external martial arts such as sword techniques and knife techniques is basically eliminated.

The reason for this is that the way internal energy generates power has changed.

Even with bare hands, a martial artist can exert force to achieve the effect of wielding a weapon.

"Now, all I need to do is wait for the right opportunity!"

Xu Ning now has the strength to break free from his constraints and escape his cage.

However, the mine camp here is full of overseers and guards, and there are also martial artists at the Spirit Realm level in charge.

Only when the time is right can I risk escaping.

"call……"

Xu Ning took a deep breath to calm herself down.

However, at that moment, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the distant mine.

The roar of the beast startled Xu Ning, and also woke Jiang Mian, who was standing next to him.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Xu Ning was awake, Jiang Mian asked.

Xu Ning shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

At that moment, foremen fled from the mine in a panic, their steps faltering and their voices filled with terror: "Quick, quick, go and get the foreman! A leader-level companion monster has breached the mine!"

"A leader-level companion monster?"

Xu Ning and Jiang Mian's expressions both changed.

The companion monsters that live with the Crystal Flame Mine almost all have their own small clans.

The leaders of these companion beast clans are roughly equivalent in strength to martial artists at the eighth level of the Mortal Realm, the Mind-Activating Realm, or even the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, the Spirit-Inspiring Realm.

Its lethality and destructive power are extremely high, and it must be dealt with personally by a martial artist at the Spirit Realm who is stationed at the mine camp.

Xu Ning had been here for five months and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Then, Xu Ning saw guards rushing into the mine from all directions with weapons.

The roars of beasts and the sounds of fighting could be heard continuously from inside the mine.

Before long, a man dressed in a brocade robe strode into the mine.

"That's the manager of the mine camp!"

Xu Ning had met this person before.

"This is troublesome."

Jiang Mian's expression was grave: "If this steward can't deal with that leader-level companion monster and it escapes to the surface, then we'll be in danger."

The cage where Xu Ning, Jiang Mian, and the others were located was built outdoors.

They cannot break through it, but if the leader-level companion monsters come to the ground and attack indiscriminately, they will inevitably be affected.

Jiang Mian felt nervous, but Xu Ning was filled with excitement.

I was just thinking about what chance I could have to escape, and in the blink of an eye, the opportunity came.

Currently, the mining camp is in chaos, and a large number of the guards have been lured into the mine. At this time, the guard level will definitely be weakened.

"The opportunity has arrived, now is the time!"

Xu Ning directly activated his internal energy, transforming his palm into a hand blade, and unleashed his power.

Under Jiang Mian's shocked gaze, Xu Ning smashed the shackles on his hands and feet with a few loud bangs.

Then, Xu Ning turned to Jiang Mian and asked, "Jiang Mian, are you willing to risk escaping?"

Jiang Mian had previously taken good care of Xu Ning, so now Xu Ning was giving him a choice.

Jiang Mian didn't have time to ask Xu Ning how he had managed to get promoted in such a harsh environment.

He immediately replied, "I'm willing to escape!"

"good!"

Xu Ning then quickly broke Jiang Mian's shackles.

"We'll split up and escape. Whether we get out alive depends on our own abilities!"

Xu Ning's tone carried a hint of ruthlessness.

The escape process will definitely be very dangerous. Xu Ning may not even be able to take care of himself, let alone Jiang Mian.

"Alright! Regardless of the outcome, thank you!"

Jiang Mian clasped his hands in a deep fist salute to Xu Ning.

Without further hesitation, Xu Ning swung his hand and broke the iron fence in two.

The two set off to escape.
