I got up late, but fortunately it was only an hour late.
Update now.
****
The days in the Xu family made Zuo Wuzhou satisfied at the same time, but uncomfortable at the same time.
He was satisfied because he was living in seclusion in the city. Hiding in the Xu family allowed him to stay away from vendettas and grievances, and he was able to practice peacefully and quietly day and night. The discomfort came from his psychology. He didn't like being ordered around and controlled by others.
No matter how much discomfort he felt, Zuo Wuzhou was still able to cover up and restrain himself very well despite his increasingly advanced cultivation. Just because he didn't reason with the enemy didn't mean that he was unreasonable.
He voluntarily hid in the Xu family as a bodyguard, and the Xu family yelled at him, which was just right. Therefore, although these discomforts existed, he would not really blame the Xu family.
Xu Gaocheng has always been very enthusiastic. Whenever Zuo Wuzhou is too tired to cope with it, Mr. Zhenfen really treats him as a close friend. Also because of Xu Gaocheng's relationship, the Xu family treats him in a relatively harmonious way.
Zuo Wuzhou practiced hard all day long and continued to play the role of a fifth-grade soul martial artist in the Xu family.
…
…
After a month like this, the night was beautiful.
Unfortunately, despite the beautiful scenery, the smell of sulfur and coal coming from the Xu family's forge somewhat ruined this intoxicating night of poetry.
Under the sad new moon, Zuo Wuzhou was practicing cross-legged. Suddenly he jumped up with joy and stared at his hands: "Finally, the eighth-grade water soul!"
Low laughter of joy swirled in the hidden cave, and the low voice contained infinite explosive power and joy.
From Zuo Wuzhou's point of view, going from the seventh grade to the eighth grade is a matter of course. The so-called division of the ninth grade simply obscures the true division of power. Most people in the world have been deceived for hundreds of thousands of years.
Keep in the dark.
The truth is that the nine levels are not correct. In essence, there are only soul warriors, soul warriors, and soul generals. However, these three levels are divided into early, middle and late stages.
Therefore, those from seventh to ninth rank are actually spirit generals. As long as they are young enough, reaching seventh rank and then breaking through to ninth rank is inevitable.
"The eighth-grade is indeed more powerful than the seventh-grade, but if you have insight and take a closer look, you will find that the improvement is mainly in quantity, and there is almost no improvement in quality." Zuo Wuzhou smiled with satisfaction.
Although he is not yet at the ninth level, with the essential understanding and Wang Ken's memory fragments, he has transcended the scope of the ninth level in terms of knowledge, and can understand everything below the ninth level at a glance.
Zuo Wuzhou practiced boxing and sword skills, clenched his fists, and his eyes were shining: "Ninth rank, from now on, I will attack the ninth rank with all my strength, I will break into the ninth rank within three months!"
…
…
The days are still going on, and the real life comes from the ordinary, as if there is not much change, no surprises or joys.
But Zuo Wuzhou's cultivation was full of surprises. He took it as a reference that it only took him fourteen months to go from the first level to the eighth level. If it weren't for injuries and delays in practicing other elements, it would definitely not have taken more than
Twelve months.
From the first to the eighth grade, it only takes fourteen months. From the eighth to the ninth grade, three months is more than enough.
But the facts gave Zuo Wuzhou a heavy blow. It took three months, but he still failed to reach the ninth level. In this regard, he was unable to cope with Xu Gaocheng's enthusiasm for many days in a row, and was scolded by Xu Gaocheng countless times.
"It seems that I underestimated the difficulty of Grade 9." Zuo Wuzhou thought deeply and had to admit that he was too optimistic: "Whether it was Lin Zhenghe or the Grade 9 who later hunted me down (he didn't know that person was Lin Zheng from the Lin family)
Ge), you can easily kill the eighth-grade one with one move."
"Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for an eighth-grade person to kill a seventh-grade person with one move. From this point of view, it is indeed no small matter to go from the eighth grade to the ninth grade. I am indeed too optimistic."
"Not only did he underestimate the difficulty of attacking the ninth level, but he also underestimated the impact of soul concentration." Zuo Wuzhou was disappointed with his mistake: "How could I be so oblivious and foolishly optimistic? Do I really want to die so much?
"
The reason why Dinghun is treated with caution is not without reason.
The soul of the ninth-grade Ding has a third-grade cultivation level from the beginning. This is one of the influences. Naturally, there is no need to say more.
But in addition to the high level, there is also a weak influence. The lower the level of the determined soul, the cultivation speed will also be affected, and there will be a certain slowdown accordingly. This slowdown will no longer exist as long as it reaches the Soul Martial Lord, and it will not be affected.
any impact.
But below the Soul Martial Lord, although this slowing effect is slight, it is indeed real.
Zuo Wuzhou smiled bitterly: "The three souls of earth, wood and fire that I ordered are either ninth or eighth grade, which are of the best quality. But the second soul of water and gold is only at the fourth and fifth grades, and the cultivation level has already exceeded the fourth and fifth grades, so the speed of cultivation is natural
It will be slowed down a bit. Especially the impact on the key ninth level, the impact will be more prominent."
"With these two reasons, it's no wonder that I couldn't break into the ninth level in three months!" Zuo Wuzhou smiled lightly: "However, now that I have thought it through, nothing can stop me from making progress."
At that moment, I re-corrected my mentality, got rid of the anxious mood, and continued to practice step by step. On the contrary, because of this excessive optimism and impatience, I became wary, and I was able to treat my practice with a more calm attitude.
…
…
At first in the Xu family, Zuo Wuzhou was actually quite happy most of the time. Mainly because the Xu family's truck fleet rarely sent him on trips, which allowed him to concentrate on training wholeheartedly. In this way, it couldn't be better.
Unfortunately, human nature often does not suffer from scarcity, but from inequality.
Xu Gaocheng wanted to have multiple playmates and friends to talk to him frequently. Therefore, he tried his best not to let Zuo Wuzhou go on escort missions.
But it didn't take long for the other guards and retainers to feel dissatisfied. Why is this guy Lin Wuzhou just taking money and not doing anything? Everyone is a guard, why is this one here to be the uncle, and we are here to be the grandson.
Sensing the dissatisfaction of others, Zuo Wuzhou simply moved his heart and took the initiative to ask for help. Xu Wanli, the head of the Xu family, was of course very happy and agreed immediately.
On the surface, Zuo Wuzhou seemed to be thinking about the Xu family and did not embarrass Xu Wanli. In fact, he decided to follow the convoy in person to search for his parents. Although Xu Gaocheng patted his chest and asked the Xu family to help him search, in the end
It's still not as effective as Zuo Wuzhou's personal search.
"Logically speaking, my parents shouldn't have left too far away. They should still be in the Fire Country." Zuo Wuzhou made up his mind, searching and practicing at the same time.
…
….
Traveling with the Xu family's motorcade did not cause much hindrance to Zuo Wuzhou's practice.
An occasional encounter with a blind bandit would generally be difficult to cause damage to the Xu family. Even if there were some powerful bandits, it would not be Zuo Wuzhou's turn to take action. Naturally, there would be seventh- and eighth-level masters to kill them.
Zuo Wuzhou took it upon himself to pretend to be a fifth-grade casual cultivator, so that was it. Compared to the bandits, he couldn't stand Xu Gaocheng's enthusiasm.
Xu Gaocheng probably found it boring to stay at home, so he often traveled with the motorcade. As for the fact that he always talked to Zuo Wuzhou along the way, it was just something that the people in the motorcade just treated as invisible.
"This Xu Gaocheng is really a mother-in-law, but being with him a lot has helped me develop the ability to turn a blind eye and listen but not hear." There was a hint of friendship in Zuo Wuzhou's wry smile.
Xu Gaocheng was annoyed most of the time, but even though Zuo Wuzhou deliberately pretended to be indifferent and withdrawn, the rosy young man still treated him as a friend and talked to himself, so Zuo Wuzhou could only admire him.
"It's time to practice. I feel like I'm about to break through to the ninth level. Don't miss it!" When it got very late, Zuo Wuzhou quietly slipped out of the convoy and found a place to concentrate on practicing.
…
…
"Tempering the flesh and blood." Zuo Wuzhou slowly mobilized his soul power and operated according to the mental method to temper the flesh and blood.
The feeling of real existence is getting stronger and stronger.
"The seventh level is the beginning of tempering flesh and blood, and the ninth level is the end." Zuo Wuzhou thought carefully and made up his mind: "Tonight is the night. The tempering process will be completed tonight."
The pain of tempering flesh and blood is not much inferior to the pain of tempering muscles and bones. Only people like Zuo Wuzhou who lack systematic knowledge and family background are forced to endure this inhuman pain.
The pain is quite bearable, but during the process of tempering the flesh and blood, there is always some unbearable itchiness, or a sour and astringent smell, a variety of flavors, which is really unbearable.
Fortunately, Zuo Wuzhou has an inhuman will and has been able to survive with his iron will.
…
…
When the sky broke, he finally opened his eyes, and when his breath was released without reservation, he felt a brand-new feeling. He enjoyed the joy and comfort all over his body: "Ninth level, have I really broken through to become ninth level?"
With an unimaginable speed, Zuo Wuzhou traveled a journey that would take an ordinary person a lifetime to complete.
"It turns out that this is the feeling of Ninth Grade, a hazy feeling of being about to reach the Great Consummation and about to be in contact with the Soul Martial Lord realm." Zuo Wuzhou felt the majestic soul power and laughed happily.
