Chapter 53 Chaos
Take charge of the troops!
With a weapon in hand, your understanding increases greatly.
Although it is said that only the martial arts of weapons are improved, for Zhou Jia, his overall understanding seems to have also increased slightly.
Just like...
The Mennar Secret Breath Technique also followed suit.
This method is a bit weird. After it is completed, the source of energy will naturally converge when it is operating, and the physical body will not be obvious to a certain extent.
Zhou Jia, who had entered the sixth level for the first time and had difficulty controlling his aura, suppressed his restless energy and still showed the strength of the fifth level.
However, if the source of power breaks out, the entry-level secret breath technique is far from being able to cover up the aura.
It is estimated that as the level of skills increases, the situation will also improve.
"What a pity!"
Stopping what he was doing, after the ecstasy, Zhou Jia sighed again:
"Mastering weapons can only increase weapon skills, but it cannot speed up the practice of martial arts, and the fist and kick skills cannot be used. Otherwise..., well...I am a little too greedy."
Being able to reach the sixth level in a short period of time, the problem of slow progress in martial arts has also been solved, and the future is promising, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
However, after advancing to the sixth level, he finally understood why it would be a hurdle to become the seventh level.
It’s so difficult!
Eight thousand experience points seemed to be only twice as much as four thousand, but the difficulty of adding a little experience was more than doubled.
If calculated purely based on treasures and medicines, it would probably take tens of thousands of Origin Stones to create a seventh-grade person.
It's just possible!
In the Fish and Dragon Club, a master of the seventh-level joint force realm will definitely become a deacon, which can be regarded as truly entering the upper class of the gang.
The Aaron Four have been active for many years, also because of a seventh-grade member.
This is a threshold.
"The fourth level is a challenge for ordinary people. If you have enough Origin Stones, precious medicines, and techniques, you can overcome it."
"Seventh grade is the threshold for middle-class families."
"It takes a large amount of Origin Stones, precious medicines, superior exercises, martial arts, and even a certain amount of opportunity and time, as well as the efforts of the whole family, to make one person achieve it."
And he has none of these.
"No!"
Zhou Jia shook his head:
"Three Yuan Zhengfa should be regarded as a superior skill. However, this method is peaceful and pays attention to the foundation. It does not aim to quickly increase the cultivation level."
"But..."
“It’s too slow!”
"According to the current progress, it will take ten years at the fastest to reach the seventh level, eighth level or even above. Wouldn't it be a lifetime of hopelessness?"
How did Master He achieve the eighth rank so early?
After calming down, a light curtain appeared in my mind.
Name: Zhou Jia
Cultivation: Sixth-grade mortal level marrow cutting (1146/8000)
Source Star: Tianying Star (Trait: Handling Weapons), Earth Star (Trait: Violence)
Gongfa: Introduction to Three Yuan Zhengfa (105/300)
Martial skills: Shield counter proficiency (67/300), Shield strike proficiency (42/120), Cloak and Ax skill proficiency (23/600), Nar secret breath technique introduction (11/200)
"Different techniques have different difficulties in practicing." Zhou Jia stood up and picked up the shield and axe:
"The higher the level of a martial skill, the harder it is to improve proficiency. From this point, we can also tell which martial skill has greater potential. It will be much more convenient to choose skills in the future."
With his thoughts turning, he opened the door and went out.
There will be more and more people fleeing from the barony. It is just starting now, so we need to stock up on food for the next period of time.
…………
Before reaching the mine, you can see a few figures in the distance.
Samuel, who was absent in the past, actually came early today and was shouting something to the guards such as Hei San.
"Da..."
Zhou Jia stopped and looked outside in the shadow of the dense forest. His eyes stopped on Samuel, his eyes flickering back and forth.
He has become a sixth-grade man. Although he lacks the foundation, he has violence as his trump card, and his martial arts skills are much more proficient than before.
So...
A hint of murderous intent quietly emerged from his heart.
His hand also touched the ax handle.
From Fatty Han, he knew something about Samuel.
This woman was transferred back from the outer hall. She is tired of the fighting and killing outside. Now she just wants to catch a rich husband in the Fish and Dragon Club and live a stable life.
If you want to catch a rich son-in-law, you must have the capital.
Her appearance and figure are not bad, but her style was not very good in the past, and she has no foundation in the Fish and Dragon Society, so she is not very popular.
So Samuel focused on the mine.
If she can take control of the mine, she will have a foundation and capital. Zhou Jia, who holds her hostage, will naturally become a thorn in her side.
Zhou Jia is not very interested in the mine, but he doesn't want to be manipulated at will.
"Okay!" Samuel waved to several people with a cold face:
"I've said everything that needs to be said. From now on, you should be smart and get busy!"
"Yes."
Several people responded, bowing their heads and retreating in order.
She curled her lips, and suddenly there was a distant shout in her ears. She felt happy, turned around quickly, and walked towards the road.
In the past, Zhou Jia would not notice the difference.
Now that he has obtained the Tianying Star and the trait of wielding soldiers, he can see that every move of Samuel has a unique charm.
Like a smart female leopard.
Every time you take a step, the muscles all over your body rise and fall in an orderly manner. Each step seems to be measured with a ruler, almost exactly.
This shows that no matter what happens or where he is, Samuel can burst out with all his strength in an instant. This is a symbol of practicing martial arts to the core.
Zhou Jia's body would only occasionally experience this condition when using shield counterattack.
Watching Samuel meet up with several brightly dressed young people, the group rode on white-maned horses and galloped away while chatting and laughing.
Hiding in the darkness, he slowly suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.
Not the time.
Zhou Jia knew those young people. They were all the "second generation" of the deacons and elders of the Fish and Dragon Society. Not only their status, but also their cultivation was not weak.
In this world, weak people cannot survive.
When they arrived at the mine, Hei San had already gone down the mine, and the guard named Andrew was holding the account book in his hand, looking at yesterday's output.
Seeing Zhou Jia, he stopped what he was doing.
"The supervisor is not here?"
Zhou Jia glanced at the audience and spoke slowly:
"How was it yesterday?"
Andrew raised his eyebrows. In the past, the deputy director had never asked such questions. He usually just went into the mine and shrank.
He shook his head slightly and said perfunctorily:
"Same old, nothing changed."
"Yeah." Zhou Jia nodded and didn't ask any more questions:
"Do a good job."
With that said, he turned and left.
"Alas!" Andrew's voice said:
"Deputy Director Zhou, don't you still want to do it... do it..."
Looking at Zhou Jia, who turned around slowly, Andrew, who was a spiritual person with keen senses, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, his voice rolled in his throat, and he forced out a dry smile:
"It's okay. I'm just asking. Manager Zhou, you can do whatever you want."
"Do your job well, and don't ask questions you shouldn't." Zhou Jia had no expression on his face.
"Yes, yes." Andrew nodded repeatedly.
It is better to practice in the mine than to feel comfortable at home, since no one will care about you anyway.
Situ Lei's guess was correct.
As more and more outsiders came, the prices of things in the market began to rise. In a few days, the price of refined meat increased by more than 50%, and the price of japonica rice doubled.
Fortunately, Zhou Jia bought it in advance and stocked it up.
After a period of time, the outer city became chaotic at a speed visible to the naked eye.
More and more people are entering Huojiabao. They are no longer scattered and in groups, but dozens or even hundreds of people are arriving together.
These are the forces of the original barony.
With their arrival, the three deep-rooted gangs in the outer city began to be attacked. Secret fighting continued, and mutilated corpses were often seen on the roads.
There was even a time when two eighth-level masters got into a fight at the market, affecting dozens of people and killing some people in the patrol team, but they ended the fight hastily afterwards.
Everyone tensed up.
Even 'good neighbor' Angji, who is addicted to gambling, didn't go out during this time.
Zhou Jia never left the front door or took a step forward. As for the mine, he had never been there even once.
night.
Already deep.
Zhou Jia was lying on the bed, fully clothed, and was fast asleep.
"Click..."
The subtle sound of fiddling with the bolts spread along the wires to the bedside.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Jia suddenly opened his eyes:
"Who?"(End of Chapter)
