Woof! Zhang Yuan had just opened the door to the courtyard when a big yellow dog suddenly pounced on him. It wagged its tail desperately, and a coquettish whimper came from its throat! Zhang Yuan hugged Dahu's dog head and rubbed it hard, then saw his mother sitting under the eaves in front. He smiled widely: "Mom, I'm back!" "Hey!" Zhang's mother hurriedly put down the needlework in her hand, surprised and happy: "Have you eaten lunch? Mom will make it for you now!" Zhang Yuan let go of Dahu and asked: "Mom, have you been used to living here during this period of time?" This small house in Whale Castle was arranged by Yue Wuji for Zhang Yuan's family to live in. Although the house is not big and the conditions are not as good as the one in Wuzhuang.
But it is more than enough for three people to live in. The most important thing is that Whale Castle is safe enough. Zhang's mother lives here, which relieves Zhang Yuan of worries. Zhang's mother smiled and said: "Not bad." In fact, she prefers the original house. Not only is it spacious, but she can also grow some vegetables in the backyard. Neighbors are also easy to get along with. But Zhang's mother is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. She knows very well that she was arranged to move to Jingbao, which must be related to Zhang Yuan. Zhang's mother felt that she could not help Zhang Yuan. The only thing she could do was to try not to hold Zhang Yuan back. What's the big deal if she is not used to it? And compared with the days in Chenjia Village before, life is already very good now! Therefore, Zhang's mother did not complain at all. "Ah!" At this time, Xiangxiu ran out of the room. Seeing Zhang Yuan, she couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Master, you are back." Zhang Yuan nodded: "Well, you have worked hard." Moving is a very troublesome thing, and it is inevitable to be busy during the period. And Xiangxiu is usually very diligent at home, and it is right to say that she has worked hard. Xiangxiu's face turned even redder: "Master, you are too kind. These are my responsibilities."
Mother Zhang took Xiangxiu's hand and sighed: "It's thanks to Xiangxiu that I have been with you these days, otherwise it would be hard." She was mainly concerned about Zhang Yuan's safety. If a person is alone at home, it is really easy to have wild thoughts. It is really completely different to have someone by your side to talk and comfort you from time to time. Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and took out two hairpins from his arms. One gold hairpin was given to his mother and the other silver hairpin was given to Xiangxiu as a gift for returning home. The hairpins were purchased in a century-old silver shop in Nanxun City. Both gold and silver were made very beautifully. Mother Zhang and Xiangxiu were very happy. The former's happiness and satisfaction and the latter's shy joy made Zhang Yuan feel that the money was not wasted. After settling down in his new home, Zhang Yuan went to the armory the next day to choose a martial arts method. This was a reward from Yue Wuji. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose a horizontal training method - Iron Shirt! After joining the Whale Gang, Zhang Yuan learned "Shocking Palm", "Chopping Wave Knife" and "Lingbo Step" respectively, and later mastered "Cloud Piercing Arrow". He had melee, long-range attack, weapons and body skills, but he lacked a defensive technique. A hexagonal warrior must be able to fight and defend, and this "Iron Shirt" can just make up for his shortcomings. And "Iron Shirt" is one of the best horizontal training methods for entering the realm of strength. When you practice it to the great success realm, your whole body will be invulnerable to swords and guns, and your muscles, bones, skin and flesh will be stronger than gold and iron! Not only that, this method also contains many methods of leveraging and unloading force. It can be said that it was created completely for actual combat! Therefore, after getting the copy of the method, Zhang Yuan immediately invested a lot of time and energy to start practicing. At the same time, he also invested his accumulated source into the second host Jade Mantis. There was no way. Zhang Yuan couldn't wait forever because he couldn't find a new host to fill the nest. Source essence was meant to be used, and it wouldn't generate interest if saved. Zhang Yuan had carefully considered choosing the Jade Mantis. First of all, the extraordinary abilities of the Black Giant Ant and the Golden Grasshopper were completely sufficient for the moment, and even exceeded his tolerance limit. It would be useless if he upgraded them, so it was the right choice to leave them for later. As for the Jade Mantis and the White Dragon Loach, one was proficient in swordsmanship and the other was proficient in water. The former could improve his immediate combat power, but the latter had too many restrictions. There was no need to say more about how to choose. Zhang Yuan was also looking forward to the ability of the advanced swordsmanship upgrade!
What surprised him was that the upgrade of the Jade Mantis from level 3 to level 4 not only took a long time, but also required a much larger amount of source essence than expected. Zhang Yuan spent a full 200 source essences, and it was only half a month after he returned to the Whale Castle that he finally completed this difficult promotion. [Host: Zhang Yuan] [Realm: Second level (Dark Power)] [God's Nest: Level 3 (1%)] [Host: Level 3 Black Giant Ant (1%)/8 times Strength] [Host: Level 4 Jade Mantis (1%)/Elementary Sword Skills] [Host: Level 3 Golden Grasshopper (1%)/8 times Agility] [Host: Level 3 White Dragon Loach (1%)/Advanced Water Mastery] [Qi and Blood: 258/260] [Source Quality: ] Thanks to the last experience, Zhang Yuan has accumulated more than 200 source quality points. It barely meets the Jade Mantis's upgrade requirements. The extraordinary ability of the fourth-level Jade Mantis has changed from the original advanced swordsmanship proficiency to the elementary swordsmanship Xuantong. Putting aside the level, the difference is actually just one word! What is the difference between "proficiency" and "Xuantong"? This is of course the question that Zhang Yuan is most interested in. Considering that it is not suitable to practice new abilities in the Whale Castle, he came to the deserted wilderness alone. Looking around, Zhang Yuan, holding a knife in his hand, concentrated his mind and stimulated the power of the Jade Mantis. Instantly blessed "elementary swordsmanship Xuantong" to himself. The next moment, a strange power surged out from the left hand nest, instantly traveled through his body, and injected into the Yanling knife in his hand. This three hundred forged long sword suddenly shook, and it made a soul-stirring tremor! An idea flashed through Zhang Yuan's mind, and he swung a knife forward without thinking. This knife was silent and fast as lightning, and it seemed to cut open the space in front of him in an instant. Showing the sharpness of cutting off everything! The blade's power has not yet ended, the blade shines brightly, and a sharp aura bursts out. Invisible sword energy! The long sword fell, and a long cut instantly appeared on the ground in front!
So this is the power of the sword technique. Zhang Yuan immediately understood it in his heart! The ability to stimulate invisible sword energy is originally a power that only those who have entered the Qi realm have. As a second-level dark force warrior. He can actually cross the realm level and display such a high-level skill. The wonder of the sword technique is evident! There is no doubt that this will be another killer weapon mastered by Zhang Yuan, which is enough to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment. Kill the strong enemy by surprise!
