Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

430 - The rest of the time

Natalya held up the compass in her hand, and held the ancient scroll in the other hand, chanting the obscure incantations on the scroll.

Her surroundings were shrouded in gray mist, and the mist was constantly swirling and rising, and faint wailing sounds could be heard from it.

Rhodes felt that this ceremony would take a while, so he turned on the system and began to check the changes of Taizu Changquan.

He found that this martial art had changed from [reaching the peak] to [extraordinary], and the color of this martial art in the system had also changed, the name and the description behind it all turned golden.

Taizu Changquan [Supernatural and Saintly]: The highest state of Taizu Changquan, even a random punch can cause huge damage to the enemy. (Special effect: Any punch is no longer limited to moves, and the power of all punches is greatly enhanced.)
If I practice one more boxing technique to the level of [Extraordinary and Saintly], will I be able to become One Punch Man?

Rhodes had some expectations in his heart.

Transcendence and sanctification should be the heightened state that martial arts can achieve. If there is a higher state, Rhodes thinks it should be the best in the world.

All his thoughts were on the system. After the black flame disappeared, Rhodes forgot to put on a new set of clothes.

Fortunately, Natalya didn't see it.

After wiping off the blood on his body, Rhodes took out a set of clothes from the space ring and quickly put them on.

Not long after, the storm formed by the gray mist around Natalya subsided.

"You destroyed the dragonman's soul?" Rhodes asked.

"Yeah." Natalya nodded.

A gust of wind blew by, and the compass in her hand was scattered in the air like dust.

Rhodes has already checked here, and there is nothing valuable.

After the seal was broken, the chain used to bind the wolf god shattered into powder. This chain should be the only valuable thing here.

"Should we leave here now or continue to explore? It is said that this is the tomb of a great noble countless years ago." Rhodes said again.

"Let's go, I don't want to stay in any tomb for a second, and according to my experience, there is definitely no treasure in this tomb." Natalya shook her head.

"How did you see that?" Rhodes asked.

"As long as it is a tomb that seals a powerful creature, there will definitely be no precious things, and there are two sealed here.

One of them is a very ancient demigod, and the other is a dragonman who was as powerful as a dragon king in his heyday. The owner of the tomb should have spent almost all of his savings in order to seal them. ’ Natalya explained.

"I'm very surprised why the owner of the tomb didn't kill them both, but chose to seal them up. The owner of this tomb must have the strength to kill them." Rhodes said doubtfully.

"Maybe the owner of the tomb is just an ordinary human being, not a demigod. But I think the most likely situation is that the relationship between the three of them was not bad at first. The werewolf should be similar to this dragon man, and it was the same before. It's human, but it was transformed into an inhuman monster later on." Natalya replied.

Rhodes also felt that the real situation was exactly what Natalya had guessed, otherwise the werewolf wouldn't have asked him such a strange question at the end.

"The seal here is still flawed. This werewolf can still absorb the faith provided by its followers, otherwise it wouldn't be able to make such a movement to release the dragon man." Natalya said again.

She turned to look at Rhodes: "Let's get out of here, I really don't want to stay in any tomb for a second longer."

Rhodes looked up, and they were at least a hundred meters away from the hall above which sealed the dragonmen, so it seemed that he needed to be a coolie again.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to return to the ground with Natalya on his back.

It was already afternoon when the two entered the tomb, and by the time they came out, it was completely dark.

"The magic ceremony just now was too complicated, and I still have no strength at all." Natalya, who was lying on Rhodes' back, yawned and said.

"Then you can still come down first, we will rest here, anyway, there is nowhere to go," Rhodes said.

"Okay." Natalya jumped down and sat down against a tree.

Rhodes also found a place and lay down directly. The few battles just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength.

"It's time to eat." Natalya said suddenly.

"Let's just eat some dry food tonight." Rhodes replied lying on the ground.

"No, I'm tired, I have to eat something delicious to recover." Natalya shook her head.

"I'm also very tired, at least let me rest for an hour." Rhodes said helplessly.

"Forget it, take a good rest and eat dry food tonight."

……

The next morning, the two arrived at Ebony City not far from the forest.

Rhodes didn't want to hurry anymore, and there were still a few days left before three months, so he decided to stay in this city to rest and practice martial arts.

After entering the city, Rhodes first bought a house with a yard.

In this way, it is much more convenient for him to practice martial arts, he can practice in the yard, and he doesn't have to endure the unpleasant smell in the tavern anymore.

This house is not expensive, and it only cost him two hundred gold coins, which is just a small amount of money for him now, and he can transfer the money back by selling a barrel of spirits.

The house has been renovated and cleaned very cleanly. Rhodes thinks that he doesn't need to spend time on cleaning these days.

After paying the money and signing the contract, Rhodes found a locksmith in the market and changed all the locks in the house. The locksmith gave him two sets of keys, and he casually gave one set of keys to Nata. Ya.

After lunch, Rhodes went to the yard to start practicing martial arts.

He decided to focus on boxing training in the next period of time. He felt that his fists were often easier to use than swords.

Not long after he calmed down, he heard Natalya's voice.

"Let's go buy some more furniture for our family." Natalya ran over excitedly.

Rhodes stopped, turned his head and said, "We won't live here for long, so there's no need to buy furniture."

"Then let's go buy some food. Of course we have to eat something good when we live in our new home." She said again.

"Okay, but when I cook in the future, you have to help me." Rhodes hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement.

This is just a temporary residence for him, but Natalya calls it "home".

Thinking of the experiences that Natalya had talked about on the road, Rhodes decided not to spoil her current good mood.

He remembered a sentence he had seen many times on the Internet before.

Lucky people can be healed by childhood all their lives, but unlucky people have to spend their whole lives to heal their childhood.
