However, when he thought of his situation in the sect, the young man's expression darkened slightly.
It has been nearly three years since Zhou Xing entered Yunyuemen.
When he first started, he was only twelve years old. Under the training of his family, he entered the "forging period".
The body-strengthening period, as the name suggests, is to temper the body, strengthen the constitution, and lay the foundation for true martial arts practice.
The entry requirements for Yunyue Sect are not high. You only need to be under fifteen years old and enter the forging stage.
After nearly three years of hard work, Zhou Xing has made a breakthrough from the early stage of forging a body to the late stage of forging a body.
According to his father, such qualifications are considered good in the family and in the mortal world.
However.
After entering the sect world, Zhou Xing realized his mediocrity and humbleness.
"There are still two months left. If I fail to advance to the higher 'Tongmai Stage', I will be expelled from the sect!"
Zhou Xing's eyes dimmed.
In Yunyue Sect, new outer disciples all have an "examination period."
The rules of the outer sect are: after three years of entry, or reaching the age of sixteen, if you are still in the tempering stage and cannot break through, you will be expelled from the sect!
After all, the body-forging stage is only the foundation of the initial stage of martial arts, and it is not much better than ordinary mortals.
Only when you advance to the Tongmai stage can you be considered to have entered the threshold.
Unfortunately for Zhou Xing, there are still two months left before the assessment deadline.
Just when Zhou Xing was in a trance.
Bang bang!
There was a knock on the door outside the house, and some figures were vaguely seen.
"Outer disciple 'Zhou Xing', open the door quickly! Accept the inspection by the law enforcement team!"
A cold male voice came.
Zhou Xing's heart skipped a beat, he turned out to be the enforcer of the sect.
Could it be that his "picking up leaks" in the outer area of the meteorite were discovered?
It shouldn’t be!
Zhou Xing can be sure that no other person was present when he picked up the meteorite fragments and the mysterious crystal.
He quickly took the "crystal stone" into his arms and placed it carefully.
Squeak!
The door opened, and a young man in black robe appeared outside, followed by a young man in green shirt.
The young man in black robe was wearing a law enforcement robe. Judging from his power, he was obviously a law enforcer with a special status. The mere glance from that law enforcer gave Zhou Xing a cutting feeling like a blade, and his skin felt chilly.
Another young man in a green shirt, fifteen or sixteen years old, is quite handsome, but there is a hint of sinisterness in his charm, which slightly ruins his beauty.
This person's attire is basically the same as Zhou Xing's, both are the standard attire of outer disciples.
"Wang Lingyun, it's you..."
Zhou Xing recognized this young man in green shirt, and his expression changed.
Wang Lingyun is his old enemy in the sect!
Both of them came from Xiangyang City in Chu State, and their families were hostile.
At this moment, there was a hint of schadenfreude in Wang Lingyun's eyes.
"Wang Lingyun, is this the Zhou Xing you reported on? Are you sure that he walked out of the crater and brought out the meteorite fragments?"
The black-robed law enforcer spoke indifferently.
His eyes turned to the young man in green shirt next to him, "Wang Lingyun."
Bullshit!
Zhou Xing couldn't help but curse in his heart, Wang Lingyun actually reported to the sect.
However, he clearly remembered that when he "picked up the leak", Wang Lingyun was not present at all.
However, after he walked out of the blockade area, he bumped into Wang Lingyun.
"Lord Law Enforcement!"
Wang Lingyun said with a respectful look: "I saw with my own eyes that this kid walked out of the meteorite area, and his expression seemed to be abnormal. I'm afraid, nine to ten times out of ten, he brought fragments of the meteorite with him."
After saying that, he sneered in his heart.
indeed!
He had a collision with Zhou Xing, but he was not entirely sure. Zhou Xing got the meteorite fragments.
He just doubted it.
But even if it was just suspicion, he couldn't give Zhou Xing a chance to rise!
How valuable is meteorite iron?
If Zhou Xing is allowed to secretly obtain one or two pieces in exchange for precious materials and elixirs, he may be able to advance to the channel-opening stage.
Once promoted to the Tongmai stage, Zhou Xing will be able to gain a foothold in Yunyue Sect - this is a situation that Wang Lingyun absolutely does not want to see!
"As long as Zhou Xing is expelled from the sect, the gap between him and me will become wider and wider. Our Wang family will also suppress his Zhou family and dominate Xiangyang City! Moreover, Mu Xueqing will also
He loses interest and will fall in love with me..."
Wang Lingyun was planning secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Zhou Xing."
The black-robed law enforcer said, "Did you bring fragments of meteorite? If it is true, if you hand it over voluntarily, you will be exempted from punishment."
The law enforcer, Wang Lingyun, stared at Zhou Xing closely.
"true."
Thoughts flew through Zhou Xing's mind, and he quickly came up with an idea.
Admit it?
The black-robed law enforcer had a look of astonishment on his face.
"There really is..."
Wang Lingyun couldn't help but be jealous.
Beforehand, he was just suspicious, but he didn't expect that Zhou Xing actually got the meteorite fragments.
Putting himself in his shoes, if he had obtained meteorite fragments, he would not take the initiative to hand them over.
After all, if you hand it over, you can only exchange it for some sect contribution points at most. How can it compare with the true value of the meteorite?
"Fortunately, I had the foresight not to give him any chance."
Wang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Zhou Xing handed over the two meteorite fragments he had obtained to the law enforcers.
"Well, although you brought the meteorite fragments, you can avoid punishment if you actively cooperate and hand them in."
The black-robed law enforcement officer nodded.
Afterwards, the two searched Zhou Xing's house for a long time, but found no other meteorite fragments.
"Master Law Enforcement, haven't you searched this kid yet?"
Wang Lingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of sharpness, not intending to let go of any possibility.
Zhou Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately greeted all eighteen generations of Wang Lingyun's ancestors.
Although Zhou Xing handed over the meteorite fragments, he hid the more valuable and mysterious "crystal stones" close to his body and did not hand them over.
Fortunately, Zhou Xing also expected this.
He had already thought of the wording: he insisted that this crystal stone was his "family heirloom".
After all, the sect was only searching for meteorite, and no one knew about the existence of crystal rocks.
"I have handed over all the meteorites. The law enforcement officers can search my body."
Zhou Xing waved his hand with a relaxed look on his face.
The black-robed law enforcement officer nodded slightly, but he also believed it.
However, he was too lazy to lower his status and search for an outer disciple, so he simply asked Wang Lingyun to do it for him.
"Law enforcement sir, don't worry!"
Wang Lingyun looked eager and very positive.
He will never give Zhou Xing any chance!
Whoosh!
The green shadow flashed, and Wang Lingyun had already arrived at Zhou Xing's side and began to search him.
"What a speed!"
Zhou Xing felt an invisible strong wind covering his body, his body swayed slightly and he almost lost his balance.
There was an invisible "aura" lingering on Wang Lingyun's palm, which made his energy and blood dull and made it difficult to breathe.
That "aura" is invisible to the naked eye, but it surges with powerful force, enough to easily break bricks and rocks.
"Inner breath?"
Zhou Xing's heart sank: "Wang Lingyun has indeed broken through to the 'Tongmai stage', and he has not just been promoted to Tongmai..."
The so-called channel-opening stage is to open up the meridians throughout the body and cultivate the invisible power of "inner breath".
If the inner breath is cultivated to the state of transformation, it can hurt people from a distance, smash gold and iron, and kill enemies with a snap of its fingers. It truly possesses powerful force and is superior to the world.
However, Zhou Xing was in the "Physical Forging Period" where he was cultivating his body and strengthening his body, focusing on the overall improvement of his physical fitness. He was still unable to possess the power of "inner breath".
"Hmph...as long as I'm here, you won't have any chance!"
Wang Lingyun began to check.
During this process, he did not miss any detail, not even Zhou Xing's ears, mouth, hair, and armpits.
Zhou Xing complained secretly and felt uneasy.
If it were the law enforcer who searched him, he would still be 70% confident that he could get away with it.
However, this Wang Lingyun is simply nitpicking. Even if there is no problem, there may be problems.
Zhou Xing couldn't guarantee that the rhetoric he prepared would be able to fool him.
Seeing that Wang Lingyun's hand had already reached from his neck to his chest.
Zhou Xing's heart was in his throat.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
That crystal stone... just sticks to your heart!
Thump! Thump!
Suddenly! Zhou Xing felt a heartbeat as heavy as a mountain, shaking the heaven and earth, as if it was in resonance with the pulse of a space.
Even this space has the illusion of slight shaking.
But the strange thing is that Wang Lingyun and the black-robed law enforcement officers in the room looked as usual.
"Um?"
There was a flash of heat in Zhou Xing's heart.
The invisible heartbeat pulse seems to come from the crystal stones placed thoughtfully.
Just the next moment!
Wang Lingyun's hand touched Zhou Xing's left heart.
At this moment, Zhou Xing held his breath, and a trickle of sweat broke out on his forehead.
The black-robed law enforcement officers and Wang Lingyun were also aware of Zhou Xing's anomaly, but they thought it was the "inner breath" carried by Wang Lingyun, which put a lot of pressure on him.
One breath...two breaths...three breaths.
Wang Lingyun's hand has moved away from the heart and searched the abdomen, back and other areas.
Zhou Xing was a little confused: "What's going on! He didn't notice?"
At this time, the flashing heat in the heart became more and more clear, and there was also a slight pain of electric shock.
The strange stone at his heart seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Xing's entire body was in a state of numbness, motionless, and allowed Wang Lingyun to search his entire body.
"Master Law Enforcement, I have searched you carefully and found nothing..."
Wang Lingyun said respectfully.
The black-robed law enforcement officer nodded and said with a hint of meaning: "I'll be relieved after you've finished the inspection."
He could naturally see that Wang Lingyun was hostile to Zhou Xing and would not give the latter any chance, which was more reassuring than searching him personally.
After finishing speaking, the black-robed law enforcement officer drifted away.
Wang Lingyun did not leave, so he took some time to relax and looked at Zhou Xing with a hint of teasing.
There were only two people left in the house, and it was eerily quiet.
Zhou Xing remained motionless, feeling the electric numbness in his chest gradually subside.
Subconsciously, he reached out and touched his heart.
"What!"
Zhou Xing's heart was shocked. The crystal stone close to his heart had disappeared.
What's going on?
There was only a trace of residual heat and slight pain left in his heart.
As for Wang Lingyun's playful expression, Zhou Xing didn't pay much attention to it.
Zhou Xing's "lost" look made Wang Lingyun secretly proud, thinking that destroying the opponent's "opportunity" by himself would undoubtedly be a heavy blow.
If he loses this opportunity, Zhou Xing is afraid that he will not be able to break through the channel opening stage within the time limit and will be expelled from the sect.
"Zhou Xing!"
Wang Lingyun suddenly spoke and his face turned serious: "I advise you to give up on 'Mu Xueqing' as soon as possible and go back to Xiangyang City. This sect has no place for you anymore!"
"Xueqing?"
Zhou Xing came over in a trance and temporarily put down the strange crystal stone.
in mind.
The silhouette of a slim, elegant and pure girl disappeared in a flash.
In Yunyue Sect, Mu Xueqing was talented, intelligent, beautiful and charming, and was the object of admiration and pursuit by many disciples.
Zhou Xing and Wang Lingyun were both his admirers.
Moreover, Mu Xueqing, Zhou Xing, and Wang Lingyun all came from Xiangyang City.
The relationship between Zhou Xing and Mu Xueqing was closer, which aroused Wang Lingyun's jealousy.
"Haha, but there is no need for me to remind you. Soon, you will be expelled from the sect. From now on, we will no longer be in the same world."
Wang Lingyun suddenly laughed mockingly.
After saying this, Wang Lingyun gave a long laugh, turned and left.
From this moment on, Zhou Xing was no longer in his sight!
How can you compete with a person who can't even gain a foothold in the outer sect?
Zhou Xing remained silent as he watched Wang Lingyun leave.
"There are still two months left. If I try my best to hit the 'Pulse Channeling Stage', I can only be 20-30% sure. If I have the help of precious spiritual materials, the success rate can be doubled, but it's a pity..."
Zhou Xing sighed in his heart.
He is not as good as Wang Lingyun. He is the young master of the Wang family and can get the maximum support from the family.
Zhou Xing's qualifications in his own family are pretty good, and his status is not low, but it is far inferior to the generous support he received as a "young master".
In this way of cultivation, talent is very important, and external resources are also top priority.
Originally, Zhou Xing obtained the meteorite fragments as an opportunity, but it was a pity that Wang Lingyun destroyed it.
"correct!"
Zhou Xing suddenly thought of something and quickly closed the door.
Zhou Xing took off his shirt and looked at his heart. He clearly placed the crystal stone here close to his body.
This sight shocked him.
I saw an extra "heart-shaped" blood pattern on the surface of the left heart.
嗗嗗~
At the heart-shaped pattern, there was still a trace of clear crystal luster flashing, and there was a faint electric shock.
What's even weirder is.
Zhou Xing vaguely saw an exquisite and clear crystal heart, like transparent water, gradually blending into his flesh and blood heart.
"this……"
Zhou Xing was so frightened that he lost his mind. This kind of phenomenon was simply unheard of!
Think carefully.
The shape of that crystal stone is like a "crystal heart".
Thump! Thump!
Zhou Xing felt that his heartbeat had become steady and powerful, and every beat brought a powerful confidence.
After a few breaths.
The blood pattern on his heart disappeared.
Phew~
Mr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he was in a dream.
But all this is obviously not a dream.
Vaguely, traces of strange clear currents are centered on the "heart", flowing to the limbs and bones, and even leading to the brain.
This process lasted for half an hour.
"boom!"
Suddenly, Zhou Xing felt that the spiritual stage was clear, and the blood in his whole body was boiling.
An indescribable strange power surged from the heart, and the whole body felt rejuvenated.
At this moment, his whole body felt full of vitality.
rub!
With a gentle tap on his feet, his body floated half a man's height, feeling more relaxed than before.
"Bah!"
He punched out, causing an invisible wind roar, full of momentum.
Bang!
A thin crack opened on the wall in front of me. This strength was 40% or 50% stronger than usual!
"Speed, strength... have all been significantly improved!"
Zhou Xing couldn't believe it.
Not only that.
With his eyes, through the cracks in the window, the figures, vegetation, and houses in the dark night outside became clearer and brighter little by little.
