Inside the cave, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
The originally deep eyes seemed to have flashes of lightning at this moment, extremely sharp.
He didn't even have time to carefully realize the True Qi that was rushing inside his body. The powerful and cold breath had already arrived outside the cave entrance.
The person who came here is extremely powerful, at least he is a good player in the Meridian Opening realm!
Lu Chen felt a shiver in his heart, without any panic. He stood up slowly and grasped the handle of the Hundred Refinements Saber knife beside him with his right hand.
A completely different force than before flowed down his arm and into the blade.
That's True Qi.
It is more condensed, more explosive, and more spiritual than internal force.
He stood there with a calm and restrained aura, no longer as sharp as he was in the previous Bone Forging state, but like a peerless magic weapon hidden in a sheath. Once it is unsheathed, it will definitely shock Shi Potian.
rustle...
Slight footsteps sounded at the entrance of the cave, and a tall and muscular silver figure pushed aside the vines and walked in.
Silver armor, spear, and face as cold as frost.
The visitor is Demon Suppression Division's silver armor Captain, Li Qingsui!
Li Qingsui apparently sensed the amazing energy movement here and came to investigate.
When she walked into the cave and saw Lu Chen, who was safe and sound, and even had a greatly changed aura, her pair of always cold phoenix eyes revealed a look of incredible shock.
She clearly remembered that the Lu Chen last night was a Bone Forging realm Banner Sergeant who was seriously injured and was being chased by the Rebirth Hall and fled in panic.
But now...
The vague but genuine Meridian Opening realm True Qi fluctuation in him cannot be faked at all!
How long did it take from being seriously injured and dying to successfully breaking through?
One night! Just one night!
How is this possible?!
Even those prodigies known as monsters at Capital City headquarters would never be able to do such an unbelievable thing!
"You... made a breakthrough?" Li Qingsui's voice had a hint of uncertainty for the first time.
"It's just a fluke." Lu Chen looked indifferent, sheathed Hundred Refinements Saber again, and clasped his fists at her, "Last night, I was on the line between life and death. I had some insights, so I came here to look for Qi of Earth Sha. I took a risk, but I didn't expect that I actually succeeded."
He didn't explain too much, but the "pressure of life and death", "Qi of Earth Sha", and "taking a risk" in his words have already found the most reasonable explanation for his rapid breakthrough - accumulation and breakthrough.
Li Qingsui looked at him deeply. Although his heart was still filled with ups and downs, he did not ask any more questions.
In the world of warriors, everyone has their own secrets and opportunities.
She could feel that the Lu Chen in front of her, although she was just entering Meridian Opening for the first time, the fluctuations of True Qi that were mellow and restrained but had hidden edge, as well as the calm and unhurried demeanor when facing herself, all proved that his breakthrough had a very solid foundation and was definitely not a parallel import.
This man was more terrifying than she imagined.
"I have reported what happened last night to the commander." Li Qingsui calmed down and regained his former calmness. "Because it involves Rebirth Hall Judge's weird soul attack method, the commander attaches great importance to it and has ordered a thorough investigation. You must be careful in your actions in the near future."
"Thank you Captain for the reminder." Lu Chen nodded.
"In addition, there is one more thing." Li Qingsui changed the topic, "Nanling Prefecture Demon Suppression Division The triennial Hidden Dragon Trial preliminaries will officially begin in three days. You have made great achievements this time and are newly promoted to Banner Sergeant. Your name has been included in the candidate list."
"Hidden Dragon Trial?" A glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
This is the trial of the Rebirth Hall infiltration. I was originally worried that I couldn't find a way to enter, but I didn't expect that I would send it here.
"Not bad." Li Qingsui explained, "This is me Great Yan Dynasty The Demon Suppression Division system is a grand event for selecting the younger generation of elites. Anyone who is in the Meridian Opening realm Imperial Guard under the age of thirty can participate. If you can stand out in the Nanling Prefecture preliminary selection, you will have the opportunity to represent Nanling Prefecture and go to the Capital City headquarters to participate in the final trial. The winner will receive immeasurable rewards and a bright future."
"I understand." Lu Chen said solemnly, "Thank you Captain for your support."
Li Qingsui nodded, said no more, turned and left.
She came here just to confirm the situation. Now that her purpose was achieved, she naturally wouldn't stay long.
After Li Qingsui's breath completely disappeared, Lu Chen let out a long breath.
He sat down cross-legged again and began to carefully examine his own changes.
The realm has stayed steadily at [Meridian Opening realm early stage].
All the Profound Black Internal Energy in the body has been transformed into the more pure and domineering black True Qi.
After experiencing the baptism of demonic impact and breakthrough, the power of the soul has nearly doubled, and the range and sensitivity of perception are far beyond what they were before.
The most important thing is that his control of power has reached a whole new level.
With a thought in his mind, a wisp of black True Qi overflowed from his fingertips and kept changing in his palm, sometimes turning into a knife, sometimes turning into a sword. It was extremely agile, like an arm using his fingers.
"This is the Meridian Opening state..." Lu Chen clenched his fists, feeling the unprecedented surging power in his body, and his eyes were full of confidence.
Then, he opened System Panel.
[Host: Lu Chen]
[Realm: Meridian Opening Realm (Initial Stage)]
[Cultivation Method:<Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art>(Perfect)]
[Martial skills: <Shadow Demon Trace Steps> (perfection), <Basic sword skills> (perfection)...]
[Demon Devil Lifespan:734 years]
[Personal Lifespan:45 years]
Looking at Demon Devil Lifespan, which had dropped by more than half, Lu Chen didn't feel any distress at all.
Using eight hundred years of longevity in exchange for a leap in life level, this deal is a profitable one!
He stood up, dusted himself off, and strode out of the cave.
The sunshine outside the valley is just right.
When Lu Chen returned to the courtyard of Demon Suppression Division's official residence, a Imperial Guard had been waiting for a long time.
"Lu Banner Sergeant, this is an official document issued by the commanding officer's yamen. Please sign it personally." The Imperial Guard respectfully handed over an official document made of exquisite materials and gilded on the edges.
Lu Chen took it and unfolded it to take a look.
The content of the official document is very simple, it is the official notice about the Hidden Dragon Trial qualifying competition in three days.
His eyes fell on the line of small words at the end of the official document.
"The top three in the palace examination will receive three Meridian Opening pills, and can choose a treasure from the third floor of the treasure house; the leader will receive personal guidance from the palace master, and represent Nanling Prefecture, enter the Capital City headquarters, and compete for the title of Hidden Dragon!"
