"One hour to open the first Acupoint!"

"Looks like I might be able to open the third Acupoint today!"

Wang Xuan felt the Heaven and Earth Essence surging through his first Acupoint, his eyes filled with joy!

Meanwhile, in the training field.

Everyone watching this scene widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief!

Only one hour to open the first Acupoint?

What kind of monstrous cultivation speed is this!

Most of them hadn't even touched the threshold of the Breathing Technique!

But Wang Xuan had already opened his first Acupoint!

Lu Yang's face was contorted, his eyes burning with anger!

"This guy... why him!"

Lu Yang had already opened his first Acupoint yesterday!

But he had done so with the guidance of Chief Standard Bearer Liu, plus the assistance of precious medicinal ingredients purchased by his family!

But Wang Xuan!

Without relying on any external objects, he opened his first Acupoint in just one hour!

This made Lu Yang's face twist with jealousy!

Fan Hong and Sun Qingfeng's expressions became much more serious!

Opening the first Acupoint in one hour with his own ability definitely qualifies him as a genius within this county!

On one side of the training field.

Many Banner Officers and Chief Standard Bearers couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"As expected of someone Centurion Yang values, he's truly extraordinary. Opening the first Acupoint in just one hour, his talent is much stronger than our batch of recruits back then!"

"Otherwise, why do you think Centurion Yang values this kid? He must have the strength to be valued!"

Many Banner Officers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Wu Shan's face was beaming.

"I knew my decision yesterday was correct!"

"This kid's future achievements will definitely be remarkable!"

"I must befriend him in advance!"

Wu Shan thought to himself.

Although Wang Xuan had the new cultivation method he provided, it would still be difficult for someone else to open the first Acupoint in less than a day!

While everyone was marveling, not far from Wang Xuan, the sallow-faced man revealed a smile.

But this smile revealed a hint of sinister intent.

Wang Xuan felt the Heaven and Earth Essence surging from his first Acupoint and was about to carefully sense it.

But in an instant!

That chilling sense of being watched struck again.

Wang Xuan's expression changed, and he discreetly activated Tracking Art to observe the surroundings.

However!

He used Clairvoyance to scan around, but didn't sense anything unusual.

Wang Xuan frowned.

"Is it another illusion?"

"Impossible, there's no mistaking this feeling of being watched!"

"Who exactly is watching me?"

With Tracking Art's Clairvoyance ability, as long as the other party's strength isn't ridiculously high, he should be able to sense them!

However!

From last night until now, he had investigated twice and found nothing.

There are only two possibilities in this situation.

First, it's his illusion.

Second, the person watching him is far stronger than him, so he can't accurately detect them.

"Who could it be..."

Anxiety arose in Wang Xuan's heart, and he turned his head to glance around.

But it was just that one glance.

He saw not far from him, a sallow and emaciated man, looking malnourished, staring at him.

The man had a smile on his face, watching him with a grin.

His smile carried a hint of appreciation!

But in the bright daylight, the smile sent a chill down Wang Xuan's spine!

"Who is this guy!"

Wang Xuan's pupils shrank, and his eyelids twitched!

Seeing that Wang Xuan had noticed him, the man smiled, nodded at him, and continued practicing his fist techniques.

Wang Xuan immediately turned his head back.

His face was extremely solemn.

"Who is this guy? Why is he staring at me?"

"And this feeling..."

"It's exactly the same as yesterday!"

"It's him! He must be the one spying on me!"

Wang Xuan exclaimed inwardly.

The moment he was stared at by the man, he felt like he had returned to the day before yesterday when he encountered Zhou Laifu's Blood Sacrifice and saw the statue of the Holy Mother of Pity Life!

That soul-deep fear and chill!

It was something Wang Xuan would never forget!

"Could it be... is this guy related to the Pity Life Sect?"

Suddenly!

An uneasy thought arose in his mind, startling even himself.

"Impossible, if he were a member of the Pity Life Sect, the military camp would know. But if he has nothing to do with the Pity Life Sect, then who is he?"

The joy of opening his first Acupoint was washed away, and Wang Xuan couldn't help but sink into thought.

"Wang Xuan, what's wrong?"

"Is there a problem with your cultivation?"

Just as Wang Xuan was pondering, Wu Shan suddenly came up to him and asked.

Hearing this, Wang Xuan came back to his senses and looked up, saying, "I'm fine, I just feel like my whole body is different after opening the Acupoint!"

Wu Shan smiled and said, "That's normal."

"When I first opened my Acupoint and let the Heaven and Earth Essence wash over my body, I was even more excited than you."

"Heaven and Earth Essence is a very magical power. The more you practice the Breathing Technique, the more you'll understand its wonders!"

"Essence is very important for future cultivation!"

Wang Xuan nodded.

"Come on, let me tell you about the key points for the later Acupoints, it can help you avoid some detours!"

Wu Shan didn't hold back and directly explained to Wang Xuan the things to pay attention to when opening other Acupoints later.

This scene.

Made many people in the training ground envious.

A Chief Standard Bearer personally explaining the Breathing Technique was something that money couldn't buy!

But they also knew that Wang Xuan himself was outstanding and deeply valued by Centurion Yang, so they couldn't compare to him.

Half a day passed.

After Wu Shan finished explaining, Wang Xuan opened three more Acupoints in one go.

The circulation of Blood Essence in his body was more than 30% higher than before!

"There are still five days left."

"As long as I can open four Acupoints every day, I can open twenty Acupoints by the time the assessment arrives!"

After opening his fourth Acupoint, Wang Xuan didn't continue to cultivate.

Practicing the Breathing Technique consumes a lot of Blood Essence and physical strength.

But fortunately, the gains from this consumption are doubled.

When he entered the recruit camp, his strength had already reached 1100 kilograms, but after practicing the Breathing Technique for a day today, his strength had increased to 1140 kilograms.

This improvement seemed slow, but as long as he circulated the Breathing Technique, the Blood Essence in his body would increase at any time, and his body would be constantly strengthened by the Heaven and Earth Essence!

After finishing his cultivation, Wang Xuan found Wu Shan again.

"Chief Standard Bearer Wu, I want to ask you for a favor. I want to know some information about a person, I don't know if it's possible?"

Wang Xuan went to the camp tent and asked.

"Oh? Whose information?"

"If it's someone from the new recruit camp, I can give you the information directly!"

Wu Shan didn't refuse.

Logically speaking, this information shouldn't be given to Wang Xuan, but Wang Xuan was someone Centurion Yang valued, and his rise was only a matter of time.

Wang Xuan led Wu Shan to the entrance of the tent, quietly opened the cloth curtain, and looked at the man who had been spying on him earlier.

Wu Shan glanced at the latter, then immediately went to the shelf on the side of the barracks and began to search.

Soon, he found a small booklet and handed it to Wang Xuan.

"This is his information."

Wang Xuan took the booklet, opened it, and saw the man's information.

"Lu Qing, from Blackwater Village, both parents deceased, raised by the community, enlisted in the army because he couldn't afford the taxes."

Wang Xuan frowned deeply after reading the information in the booklet.

"Is that all there is?"

Wang Xuan asked, looking up.

"That's all. I personally brought this guy here. Is there a problem?"

Wu Shan couldn't help but ask.

Wang Xuan shook his head.

"It's nothing. It's just that this guy was staring at me earlier, and I thought he was also someone vying for a spot in the Soaring Dragon Assembly."

Wu Shan laughed, "Don't feel pressured."

"In the entire new recruit camp, the only ones qualified to compete with you are Lu Yang and those other two!"

"Behind those three are either wealthy families or centurions backing them, so they cultivate quickly."

"But your talent isn't weak. You don't need to worry about them at all!"

Wang Xuan nodded and returned the booklet to Wu Shan.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back now."

Wang Xuan then left the tent.

But after leaving the tent, Wang Xuan saw Lu Qing looking at him again, with a smile on his face!

His scalp tingled, and his expression became extremely serious.

"No, I have to find a way to figure out this guy's purpose!"

"Otherwise, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace!"
