The life of a turtle is very long, although it sleeps most of the time and eats rocks slowly. After eating some, it needs to close its eyes and sleep for a long time to digest.
Sometimes when he closes his eyes, he sleeps for a while longer, and then... three or five months pass.
These ineffective sleeps are directly skipped in the soul-eating dream, and Zhong Chao has not obtained the complete memory of Dragon Turtle, and there are many missing things.
However, even so, six hundred years was too long, and the soul-eating Zhong Chao did not wake up for a long time.
However, this is deep sleep and also enlightenment.
When he re-walked the path of the turtle through Huang Liang Yimeng's method, his understanding of the earth, melting gold and iron, the power of carrying mountains, earth fire and magma...etc. became more and more profound.
Dragon Turtle's six hundred years of experience have all turned into Zhong Chao's qualifications in this short period of time, allowing his strength and soul to rise rapidly.
Therefore, when Mr. Ji turned into a sword and flew towards him, he could feel it from a long distance away. The fire and the earth were all moving with Zhong Chao's mind.
"Hey, you can actually activate the power of the earth on such a large scale. It seems that this trip was in vain."
After observing for a while, Mr. Ji knew that Zhong Chao was fine and had a lot of benefits. However, the benefits were too great for him to digest and he was unable to wake up.
After confirming this, he shook his head and returned.
After arriving at the headquarters of Demingce Army, he also gave a worried and nervous Cang Youqing a calm reply.
"Don't worry, Zhong Chao is safe and sound, he just needs to sleep for a while longer."
…
In the Sword Making Valley, not long after Mr. Ji left, a little old man with his hands behind his back also came to the door of the Sword Making Valley, made a small bench, and sat next to him like a concierge.
The person who came over was the owner of the museum, Yuan Ming.
Master Tiandijun, as Zhong Chao's master, he still attaches great importance to Zhong Chao's safety.
In particular, Zhong Chao has made the Vajra Martial Arts School completely prosperous, and it is possible for him to go further. He will not let anyone hurt Zhong Chao.
After discovering that the Ming Ce army had gathered and Zhong Chao had not returned, he also noticed that Zhong Chao was in trouble and rushed over immediately.
When he got nearby, like Mr. Ji, he also noticed that the power of the earth was gathering.
After determining that this would be beneficial to Zhong Chao, his purpose of coming here changed from rescue to protection.
"Such power, haha, Chao'er, you gave me another surprise."
"It seems that I can really live a few more years."
…
The owner of the museum, Yuan Ming, and the military chief, Mr. Ji, both confirmed that Zhong Chao was fine.
After knowing this, they had no idea of spreading it around, but just guarded it silently.
But because of this, Zhong Chao's messages were cut off.
Originally, there was Cang Youqing, who was an insider... But after confirming that Zhong Chao was fine, she recalled her emotions and fell into entanglement again.
"Frustrated, worried, and heartbroken, am I... really trapped?"
This thought made her feel confused, and because of this, she was not in the mood to pay attention to anything else. Instead, she shut herself up and sorted out her emotions.
The insider did not leak the information, which caused rumors of Zhong Chao's disappearance to spread.
Peng Tianzong insisted that Zhong Chao was avoiding the battle and was not his opponent... He couldn't find anyone, so he could only use public opinion to make the people who manage the Tianjiao list in Fucheng recognize that he had defeated Zhong Chao, and wanted them to list him as a Tianjiao.
Listed.
In addition to mobilizing public opinion in Jujiang City, he also used some special tools to contact the Peng family in Fucheng, asking them to mobilize their family's power and speak out about Zhong Chao's avoidance of war.
In order to be included in the list of geniuses, he really tried every means.
A small part of the people in Jujiang City were shaken, while the other part firmly believed that Zhong Chao was delayed for something.
But this was only the situation on the first day. On the second day, Peng Tianzong kept provoking, but Zhong Chao had not yet shown up. This made those who supported Zhong Chao feel unsteady.
At the same time, on this day, the young prodigies from Fucheng entered Jujiang City in large numbers, making the place completely lively.
On this day, Jujiang City's Chongshan Jian Zongrong and the others suffered several defeats.
——It's not that the prodigies of Fucheng are being unreasonable, but Zong Rong and others take the initiative to invite a fight.
Unwilling to be defeated by Peng Tianzong, they challenged other opponents.
Unfortunately, the result was not very good.
In fact, although the people in Fucheng are strong, they are not strong enough to this level.
But a month ago, masters from all over the city gathered in Fucheng and fought continuously in order to be ranked on the list. As a result, the fighting ability of Fucheng's young prodigy improved a lot.
A hundred exercises are not as good as one battle. For a warrior, this sentence is correct.
While others are improving and you are stuck, the people of Jujiang City are naturally no match for Fucheng.
Of course, if they continue to fight like this, Zong Rong and Xing Sheng's fighting abilities will also improve, and they will win several victories.
But the ordinary people in Jujiang City cannot wait that long.
Peng Tianzong saw more and more people coming over, and he couldn't wait any longer.
At night, in the restaurant, seeing his wife and brother a little agitated, Luo Xingqiang comforted him: "Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think. The news about Zhong Chao avoiding the war has definitely spread back to Fucheng. If you are lucky, you will be there tomorrow."
I can see my name on the list of Prodigy Young Dragons."
"Huh... this is best. If that doesn't work, I will go to the Vajra Martial Arts Hall tomorrow and knock down their signboard."
"I don't believe that this guy can endure it and continue to be a coward."
As soon as these words came out, Falling Star Gun immediately frowned.
"You are sure to do this. This way, the relationship between you and him will be completely forged."
The previous things can still be regarded as challenges, but smashing the sign is moving in the direction of the enemy.
In response to this, Peng Tianzong said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter, a loser who doesn't even dare to fight, it doesn't matter if he offends him."
…
On the morning of the third day, Peng Tianzong waited all morning in Yanwu Square again and challenged Zhong Chao by name.
It's a pity that Zhong Chao hasn't come yet until noon.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Fucheng also released a new list of geniuses. What made Peng Tianzong angry was that even though Zhong Chao had not played for three days, the officials still did not remove him from the list of geniuses, but his ranking dropped slightly.
.
This scene made Peng Tianzong unable to bear it any longer and walked towards the Vajra Martial Arts Hall.
"Hmph, I heard that the King Kong Martial Arts Gym is the number one martial arts gym in Jujiang City. Today, let me see the quality of this martial arts gym."
His words made the people around him look at each other in confusion. Finally, with a crash, many people gathered around to watch the fun.
What I want to say is that after three days of not responding to the challenge, and no explanation being given, very few people still trust Zhong Chao.
The rest were all filled with hatred out of reverence, and they all despised Zhong Chao, who was "cowardly before fighting".
"Even if you are defeated, you still have to fight and you won't die. It's so ugly now."
"Who says it's not the case? Now others say that we people in Jujiang City are cowards."
"Sigh... I made a mistake. I thought he was a brave man."
Because of their anger and disappointment, many people went there with the intention of watching Peng Tianzong's action of smashing the sign of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall.
However, just as they were taking action, dozens of miles away, in the fire chamber of the Sword Forging Valley, Zhong Chao's long-closed eyes finally slowly opened.
"Dragon turtles, carrying mountains, melting gold and making iron for six hundred years... What a wonderful dream!"
