Chapter 29
“Ji Ruo, I still think…”
Liang Shixian couldn’t help but ask as he watched Ji Ruo climb a tree to pick a white spirit fruit and a scarlet heart pepper.
The scarlet heart pepper was a type of chili and was considered a spiritual item.
Its main function, as its name suggested, was to make people angry. To be more specific, the special spiciness could affect the heart and speed up blood circulation. In other words, it could slightly increase the speed of martial arts cultivation.
Not all of the spirit fruits on these tree demons were the same, and they understood the principle that you should not put all your eggs in one basket.’
Before Liang Shixian could finish, Ji Ruo glanced at him and asked, “What do you think? Should we run?”
“That’s right… After all, we’re not real tree demons. If we’re discovered, there are so many tree demons here…”
Ji Ruo spread out his hands and said, “Class president, look at this. You saw what happened yesterday. This place is definitely out of the boundary of the martial exam. There are high-level demonic beasts everywhere. Even if we go to other places, it won’t be safe.”
“But…”
“It might be dangerous to stay with this group of tree demons, but they haven’t discovered us yet, have they? Theoretically, we should be safe before they find us,” said Ji Ruo.
It was the demon race’s instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The direction they were heading in was definitely a safe direction for them. Before they were exposed, they were definitely safe.
“Tree demons aren’t strong individually. Even if we’re discovered, we still have the ability to escape. There are still so many fruits to eat, so why do we have to run? The other places are not safe either!” he continued.
“But…” Liang Shixian still wanted to say something, but after frowning for a while, he realized that Ji Ruo’s words made sense. “All right then… However, we still have to be careful. ”
“This time, don’t even think about giving up your life to cover my retreat. As you can see, the level of the demon beasts in this area is very high. Even if you do that, I won’t be able to escape when the danger comes,” Ji Ruo said.
Liang Shixian was left speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter some thought, Liang Shixian also climbed the tree with Ji Ruo to pick spiritual fruits.
The two of them ate a lot of scarlet heart peppers. The spiciness in their mouths made their cheeks slightly red, and the blood in their bodies flowed faster and faster.
They stood in the middle of the tree demons and began to slowly practice the various basic martial arts taught by the school.
During this process, the spirit fruits they had eaten earlier were being refined rapidly, transforming into their strength.
The increase was slow, but it was obvious. The improvement was visible to the naked eye.
After a few days of running, with the supply of blood rice and various spiritual fruits, the two of them naturally completed a small breakthrough and became level seven Martial Apprentices.
“Hah! So spicy!” Ji Ruo stuck out his tongue. Apart from the fact that the scarlet heart pepper could speed up one’s cultivation, it also had a special spicy taste.
After Ji Ruo had broken through to the level seven Martial Apprentice, he had almost used up all the energy of the spiritual fruits in his body. While his physique had improved, the spicy taste in his mouth had become more obvious.
“Class president, let’s go and drink some water. We’ll come back to practice later,” Ji Ruo said.
Liang Shixian was also uncomfortable with the spiciness, but for some reason, he felt that Ji Ruo’s?words sounded like ‘class is over, let’s go to the snack bar.’ He realized that Ji Ruo wasn’t worried at all.
Tree demons were plant-type monsters and had a high demand for water. Therefore, every time they camped during the day, there must be a water source around their camp.
The branches on Ji Ruo’s body were shaking, and his clothes were so dirty that they were unrecognizable.
Ji Ruo’s dirty clothes, the tree branches with leaves, and the green plant juice on his face and hands made him look like a tree demon.
The two of them came to a small stream. The water was clear, and there were a few small fish the length of two fingers swimming in it. There were not only monsters and magical beasts in the misty secret realm, but also ordinary animals.
Of course, the normal animals in the secret plane were definitely stronger than the normal animals outside, but not by much.
The fact that there were fish swimming in the water meant that the water was not poisonous.
“Let’s catch a few fish later, cut two tree demons, roast, and eat them,” Ji Ruo said while drinking water.
Of course, Ji Ruo was just joking. If he really wanted to roast fish, he could do it with his Iron Sand Palm.
After all, it wasn’t safe for the smoke from the kitchen to rise.
Liang Shixian was left speechless.
If your brother tree demon knew what you were thinking, he would definitely kick you out immediately!
However, Liang Shixian knew that he couldn’t convince Ji Ruo. He sighed and decided to take things as they came.
After some thought, Liang Shixian asked curiously, “Ji Ruo, the blade technique you used last night …”
From yesterday until now, he had been worried that he and Ji Ruo would be exposed. Now that he had learned from Ji Ruo, he couldn’t help but recall Ji Ruo’s attack.
The blade light was dazzling and extremely fast. It could be said to be stunning.
“I created it myself,” Ji Ruo said indifferently.
Liang Shixian smacked his lips. Although he had already guessed it, when he really got the answer, he still felt that Ji Ruo’s talent was a little outrageous.
As expected of the knife sword ambidexterity! His knife and sword techniques were all self-created, and they were all so powerful!
“Do you have any plans to sell that blade technique? It’s like the arrow-breaking stance…” Liang Shixian asked hesitantly.
The saber technique looked lethal and extremely cool. Liang Shixian wanted to learn it.
Ji Ruo smiled. “Class president, if you want to learn, just tell me. I can teach you!”
Liang Shixian blushed and said, “Ji Ruo, I’ve learned your Broken Arrow form for nothing. Although I haven’t reached the beginner level, I already know how to practice it.”
‘If you’re going to sell that knife technique, I’ll definitely buy it. But if you’re going to teach me for free, then forget it… It’s embarrassing. ”
He knew that Ji Ruo’s family was not well off. Liang Shixian had planned to pay for Ji Ruo’s knife and sword techniques, but he was worried that he would hurt Ji Ruo if he paid. Ji Ruo might feel that he was giving him a favor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, Liang Shixian could tell that Ji Ruo was serious about teaching him.
“Aiya, this is nothing. It’s just a saber technique. You’ve taken care of me all these years, so it shouldn’t be a problem for me to repay you, right?” “Class president, let me tell you.” Ji Ruo said nonchalantly, “This saber technique is called ‘Thunderbolt flash’. It requires a special breathing technique to stimulate the potential of the body in a very short time in exchange for extremely fast speed… Normally, once one reached the level of the beginner, one’s speed would instantly increase to six times that of the normal state when using the saber technique. I’ll show you.”
As Ji Ruo spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath.
Si! Si! Si!
A white stream of air that was visible to the naked eye poured into Ji Ruo’s mouth.
In a daze, Liang Shixian felt like he could see tiny electric currents flowing through Ji Ruo’s body.
White Lightning lingered around his fingertips, and he suddenly struck out to strike.
“Whoosh!”
Liang Shixian was shocked. Ji Ruo had only reached out his hand, and there was a faint sound of breaking through the air. He was so fast that there were even afterimages!
When Ji Ruo pulled back his hands, he had caught two fish from the stream!
Gulp!
Liang Shixian subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
He couldn’t have dodged that attack just now.
Ji Ruo continued, “I found the breathing technique by accident. I named it ‘concentrated breathing’. It means that you have to put your heart and soul into breathing so that your body can absorb as much oxygen as possible and fill your lungs… Eh? What’s that black thing?”
Liang Shixian was stunned for a moment, then he looked in the direction of Ji Ruo’s gaze warily.
He saw a black, unknown object lying by the stream downstream, as if it wanted to catch a fish. However, every time it tried, it would miss. The intelligent fish would even jump out of the water and use its tail to hit the black, unknown object.
“Meow!”
The black, unknown object was obviously very angry, and Liang Shixian had a strange expression on his face.
“It looks like a cat?”
