Nine days alone

Back at the barracks, Fang Zhong carefully put away the box containing the fire source crystal, took the stone box given by the old man, hesitated for a moment, but still did not open it.

It's not that he doesn't look down on the old man's things, but that this thing was handed down by the old man's ancestors, and it must be very important to the old man. He just gave some money. I also feel sorry.

"If I go back now, the old man will definitely not want it." Fang Zhong thought for a while, and put the stone box away solemnly, "Let's wait, and find a chance to return it to the old man when we go to Zhaonan County."

.......

Time flies by, spring goes and autumn comes, and it is half a year in a blink of an eye.

In half a year, Fang Zhong's stature has grown again, to a full seven feet (1.7 meters five), revealing a Ling Ran heroic spirit.

"In the past six months, my body has become stronger, but I still can't cross the last barrier and step into the realm of a first-class warrior." Looking up at the clouds in the sky, Fang Zhong couldn't help thinking of his own cultivation. His strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has reached the peak level of a second-rate martial artist.

However, since reaching the peak state of a second-rate warrior, his cultivation has stagnated, and he has never been able to cross the barrier of a first-rate warrior.

"Could it be that to break through the barrier requires not only physical exercise, but also a sense of realm?" Fang Zhong frowned and whispered, feeling helpless.

The perception of the state, this kind of thing is very mysterious, it can't be explained clearly in words, and you can't ask others for advice, you can only slowly explore it yourself.

For example, in the innate realm, many people stagnate in the acquired peak realm for ten years, 20 years, or even a lifetime, but they still cannot enter it. Chance.

"Forget it, it's useless to be anxious. When the time comes, we will naturally break through." In the end, Fang Zhong could only smile helplessly and walked towards the school grounds.

The soldiers on the school field were practicing, and they were sweating profusely, all covered in sweat.

Seeing Fang Zhong approaching, the hundred soldiers under him immediately bowed in awe and shouted, "My lord!" In half a year, these people have become very familiar with Fang Zhong.

As the centurion of the hundred-man brigade, although Fang Zhong was usually strict, he also knew how to balance work and rest. In his spare time, he often got along with the soldiers under him, and was willing to spend money and be generous. As time passed, these soldiers naturally supported him even more.

Looking around among the soldiers under his command, Fang Zhong nodded in relief, and said, "Yes, you have made great progress in the past six months, and you should be happy."

Hearing Fang Zhong's praise, the soldiers immediately straightened up.

In the past six months, Fang Zhong will also guide their cultivation in his spare time. Unlike others, Fang Zhong has no so-called sect and family restrictions, and he is not complacent about his own martial arts. He is happy to teach these soldiers some martial arts at will. They have benefited greatly.

Especially Zhang Daniu and Tong Man, as Fang Zhong's confidantes, they naturally benefited much more than the others.

Three months ago, Fang retransmitted the "Nine Suns Divine Art" for two people.

It is not a lie to say that the magic power of the nine suns, when it has just reached the sun, will have unpredictable power after practice.

This magical skill was also a terrific skill in Fang Zhong's previous life. It had been lost for hundreds of years. Fang Zhong also got it from an ancient tomb by chance. Because it was too fierce, he never practiced it. Thinking that it will be passed down in this world.

The Nine Suns Divine Art is unrivaled in strength and has very high requirements for the practitioners themselves. However, Tong Man and Zhang Daniu have extraordinary talents, so it is perfect for practicing the Nine Suns Divine Art.

In just three months, the two had already cultivated the Nine Suns Divine Art to the entry level, and Fang Zhong was a little surprised at such a fast practice speed.

"Although the Nine Suns Divine Art is only for beginners, it is a unique skill after all, and the two of them have gained a lot." Fang Zhong's eyes were venomous, and he could tell at a glance that both Tong Man and Zhang Daniu had broken through to a certain level.

Today, Tong Man's cultivation has reached the late stage of first-rate warriors, and Zhang Daniu has also reached the early stage of second-rate warriors. You can't lose level battles either.

On the school field, the shoulders and backs of the hundreds of soldiers were straight like sharp swords, and the powerful momentum spread out, making the surrounding soldiers unable to bear the fear.

"Okay, restrain your aura, and continue to practice." Fang Zhong pressed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Although your cultivation base has improved a lot, it is still not enough. Only by sweating more in normal times can you bleed less in battle. I don't want to see any of you die."

"Yes, my lord!" Hundreds of people agreed in unison, their voices were like thunder.

at this time--

Liu Yuan rode a war horse, dressed in military uniform, came from a distance, landed beside Fang Zhong, and said, "Brother Fang Zhong, Lord Qianhu told us to come over, there is something important to do."

Fang Zhong was taken aback, and asked: "Brother Liu, do you know what is important?" He has been very idle for the past six months, why is there suddenly something important at this time?

Liu Yuan looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "It is said that there are savage turmoil in the endless mountains in the south. I think it's time for us to suppress them, and it's time to clear up the bandits in Heifengling. We're lucky this time. , it is our turn to go to the battalion."

"Is there a savage beast in the endless mountains in the south?" Fang Zhong was startled, remembering the savage beast that the Fang family used to sacrifice to the ancestors of the sky when the Fang family discussed martial arts, and suddenly felt hot, "Brother Liu, so this time we Can you see the legendary wild beast?"

"Yeah." Liu Yuan nodded, but frowned, "But I'd rather not see this wild beast. Every time I go to suppress the wild beast's unrest, many brothers will die."

In the endless mountains in the south, there are savage beasts, some of which have reached the innate state. Although the red tiger army is strong, they still can't eat the savage beasts in the innate state.

But the Red Tiger Army is protecting the peace of Zhaonan County, and they will naturally suppress the savage beasts. Every time they go to suppress the savage beasts, it can be said that it is a hard job. It is the best, if you are unlucky, it is really dangerous.

Regarding this, Fang Zhong could only remain silent. Brutal beasts are beasts, and humans are born enemies. To suppress wild beasts, fighting and sacrifice are inevitable.

"Let's go brother, I hope you won't encounter any powerful wild beasts this time." Liu Yuan prayed, and led Fang Zhong to Xu Changfeng's camp of Qianhu.

Xu Changfeng, a thousand householder, seldom showed up. Fang Zhong came to the Red Tiger Army for more than half a year, and saw Xu Changfeng's face only five times.

When the two arrived at Xu Changfeng's camp, several people had already gathered inside, all of them were the first army and the centurion of the third battalion. If he didn't come, there should be some delay.

"Fang Zhong (Liu Yuan) pays his respects to Lord Qianhu." Fang Zhong and Liu Yuan saluted at the same time.

"Well, let's take a seat first, the snow geese haven't come back yet, so wait for a while." Xu Changfeng's face was calm, and he glanced at Fang Zhong intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly.

The two sat down, exchanged some polite words with several centurions, and then fell silent.

After a while, a person came in again from the tent door, which surprised Fang Zhong. Although this person was dressed in military uniform and heavy armor, she was a woman with fair skin, a straight nose, and a pair of sword eyebrows slanted into her temples. Has a unique heroic spirit.

The woman knelt down on one knee, saluted and said: "My subordinate Xueyan, I pay my respects to Lord Qianhu."

"Get up." A smile appeared on Xu Changfeng's face, obviously he was not normal to this snow geese, he laughed again and again: "You are here, you and I have been waiting here for a long time, in this army, I am afraid Only Master Dutong has this kind of treatment."

"Subordinates are terrified!" Xueyan in military uniform said hastily.

"Okay, there's no need to be more polite." Xu Changfeng chuckled, his expression suddenly became serious, and said, "I called everyone this time because the wild beasts in the endless mountains in the south have been a little restless recently, and there have been several wild beasts." Regarding the beasts attacking the villagers, Lord Dutong asked our battalion to carry out this mission to see if there are really wild beasts coming out, and if there are any, we will kill them on the spot."

"Of course, counting the time, it should be the time to clear up the bandits in Heifengling. Since our battalion is on a mission this time, we won't bother others anymore. We will stop for a few days when we pass by Heifengling, and take the black Just clean up the bandits in Fengling."

Xu Changfeng said it slowly, and everyone already understood the meaning of it. The first thing was to suppress the wild beasts, and the elimination of the bandits in Heifengling was just a matter of convenience.

However, when they heard that the bandits in Heifengling were cleared up, all the centurions were happy.

Bandits in Heifengling are rampant, looting all the year round, naturally looting a lot of gold, silver and jewels. The Red Tiger Army went to wipe out the bandits in Heifengling, clearly saying it was to wipe out bandits and eliminate harm for the people. Good people, but robbers.

Robbing robbers is a lucrative good thing. Whoever goes will get rich, no wonder these centurions are so happy.

Seeing such a situation, Fang Zhong suddenly remembered what Zhuang Jun had said back then: "It's not that the bandits in Heifengling cannot be wiped out, one of which is that the masters are hard to kill, and the other is within the Red Tiger Army."

In this way, Fang Zhong finally understood that the Red Tiger Army is an army, and usually there is not much oil and water, so he simply raised the bandits in Heifengling as fat pigs, and slaughtered them once when they were almost full. Don't destroy it, let him continue to raise it, and kill it later.

"No wonder the bandits in Heifengling can never be wiped out." Fang Zhong sighed in his heart, but his face was calm. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. He found that among the nine centurions, only Xue Xue Yan was as expressionless as he was, without any mood swings.

"It seems that this snow goose doesn't approve of allowing the bandits in Heifengling to plunder." Fang Zhong thought to himself, and he had a higher opinion of this snow goose.

The meeting lasted for a full hour, mainly to make a plan for a specific action plan. In fact, it is not complicated, but there are many things involved.

When the task is assigned and the action plan is determined, the rest of the matter will be simple.

Arranging armaments, counting supplies, gathering soldiers, and preparing horses and weapons can be completed in a day or two.
