Dream Picking Records

In the next few days, Wang Xiao concentrated on practicing and consolidating his realm.

He often went to ask elders like Hengjun and Yang Qian about cultivation. Any questions he had would be answered patiently. Wang Xiao also drew inferences from one instance and made them all amazed at his understanding. They were especially pleased to see that Wang Xiao was not in a hurry to break through to the Concentrated Spirit Realm, but was patient and persistent in honing himself, and was happy with the result.

Compared with the boring physical training he had done before, the enthusiasm and responsibility of the elders gave Wang Xiao a greater sense of belonging.

He had gained a lot in the past few days, and the remaining acupuncture points in his body were lit up one after another. He understood that those vortex light spots were probably related to the mysterious technique he practiced.

Cai Dehen also became much more honest and no one dared to trouble him again.

In their spare time, Wang Xiao and Ye Xiao walked together in the college, attracting many envious looks from the boys. Wang Xiao ignored them all, after all, she was his sister Ye.

Since Xia Qingling often stayed with Ye Xiao, the three of them often went to the river to catch fish and barbecue. After trying Ye Xiao's cooking skills, the little girl praised him highly and competed with Wang Xiao for food.

However, Wang Xiao was very confused and spotted Ling Xu's figure in secret several times.

The aroma of Ye Xiao's cooking could not escape Bai Zhu's nose. He could find it even from a thousand miles away. After Ye Xiao knew that his herbs were eaten by Wang Xiao, he took the initiative to call him over. Originally, he was still grinning when he saw Wang Xiao, but now he quickly closed his mouth to stop drooling.

Once, after Wang Xiao demonstrated his sword flying skills in front of Xia Qingling, he was pestered to compete with her to see who could fly faster. Then, he was lectured by the elders for prohibiting speeding in the academy, and then he was glared at by Ling Xu in the distance.

The happy time passed quickly, and a week later, Xia Qingling claimed to have defeated the counterfeit in the bone box. After returning the bone box to Wang Xiao, she ran away without a trace, leaving him no chance to ask more questions.

The material of the bone box is an unknown bone, light in texture, and without any special patterns or carvings. If it was thrown on the ground, no one would pick it up, but after thousands of years, there is no trace of time left on it.

Wang Xiao subconsciously squeezed it hard, but even though he kept increasing his strength, the bone box didn't change at all.

"It's strong enough. It should be useful as a hidden weapon to hit people." If Hengjun and others heard this, they would immediately confiscate the bone box. Is this how you are supposed to use the treasure left by the ancestor?

After putting the bone box into the storage ring, Wang Xiao realized that he had squandered all the Qi-controlling Pills.

The academy can distribute five bottles to core disciples every month, and the gap is too large according to his usage. Fortunately, the academy has a place to accept tasks. Completing the corresponding tasks to earn points can be exchanged for items on the list.

After Wang Xiao arrived at the place, he looked at the list. He was not interested in weapons. His body was his best weapon. Of course, if there was a weapon that suited him, he would accept it as icing on the cake.

However, these weapons and skills that he looked down upon required a large amount of points, which made him secretly shocked.

Wang Xiao focused his attention on the exchange list for medicinal herbs and elixirs, calculating how many complete tasks he needed to take on in order to exchange them to meet his needs.

"It seems I have to return to being a hunter." He saw a newly released mission, which was to drive away wild beasts from the nearby villages.

The task prompt indicated that the beast's realm was no higher than the ninth level of human Qi Control. So he walked over to the elder in charge of registration and reported his own realm and the task he wanted to accept.

"Beasts are generally stronger than humans in terms of their physical strength and defense, and are more difficult to break. They are usually stronger than humans at the same level. Do you want to switch to a less difficult one?"

The elder lowered his head and kindly reminded him. When he looked up and saw Wang Xiao, he changed his tone and said with a smile: "It's you. Do you want to change to a more difficult one? I think the Concentrated Spirit Realm is more suitable for you."

"Don't joke with me, Elder. I want to live longer." Wang Xiao knew that this elder must have seen his physical strength and that was why he acted like that.

The elder also stroked his beard and chuckled: "It seems that you are not blindly arrogant. The monsters in the state of concentration already have wisdom and can think, which is completely different from the beasts that act on instinct. You must be careful when going out and be well prepared. If you encounter an invincible monster, you must find a way to save your life."

After saying that, he handed the nearby map to Wang Xiao, with the mission location marked on it.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I will accept this mission and try it out this time." After reporting this, Wang Xiao prepared to return to his residence and set off tomorrow.

"Strange, why do I feel like someone is staring at me? Is it an illusion?"

He suddenly raised his head and looked around.

On the other side, a student secretly saw the task he accepted and hurried to Cai Dehen.

"Are you sure he's going out on a mission tomorrow?"

"Reporting to Master Cai, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Okay! When my father sends someone to the academy, you can take the pills as you like."

"Thank you, Mr. Cai!"

After the younger brother who reported the news left, Cai De was planning how to deal with Wang Xiao, his eyes filled with uncontrollable hatred.

"I will make you pay with blood to take back everything that belongs to me!"

It was still early, so Wang Xiao returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the bone box, and immersed himself in it as Xia Qingling had said. Unexpectedly, the simple bone box suddenly entered the Yuan Palace in his spiritual world. The palace was filled with a large amount of spiritual mist, and the bone box was quietly suspended, waiting for its owner to explore.

The world inside the bone box was pitch black. As his spirit entered, a candle suddenly lit up, illuminating the small space.

Through the firelight, one could see that the room was made of simple stones, and was surrounded by three stone doors made of huge stones. Two of the stone doors were engraved with words that were vigorous, powerful, and simple, while the remaining one was a blur.

Through spiritual induction, we can know that the first is "certification" and the second is "refining".

Wang Xiao entered the box and materialized into his original form. He placed his hand on the stone door with the word "certificate" and pushed it open with a little effort. Looking from the outside in, it was a hazy scene. The mist in front of him gradually dissipated after he stepped into it. A gladiatorial arena suddenly appeared, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. The vicissitudes of time made it impossible to tell what era the style was.

Unlike the outside world where the seats were packed with people, here Wang Xiao was the only one standing alone.

Soon, a cloud of mist gathered and gradually transformed into a human form. As the faces and bodies became clearer, two Wang Xiaos appeared in the venue, staring at each other. A message was transmitted into Wang Xiao's mind, meaning that he could fight with himself here, which would help him hone himself and fill in his gaps. The mirror image maintained the same realm as the original body and possessed all the skills of the original body, and would attack with all its strength. Fortunately, the original body could pause at any time.

After understanding clearly, Wang Xiao was also very happy. After all, he had only dealt with wild beasts for many years. He had sufficient hunting experience and was very agile, but he had very little fighting skills and practical experience. Now that he had a free sparring partner, Wang Xiao seemed to be full of fighting spirit. As the words in his heart began to ring, Wang Xiao clenched his hands and rushed to the mirror image and punched its face.

Unlike the beast who directly punched him and had his arm broken, the mirror image dodged slightly and the punch missed. He immediately backhanded his shoulder and kicked Wang Xiao with his right leg. Fortunately, Wang Xiao was quick-witted and pressed his arm down in time to block the attack. Unexpectedly, the mirror image kicked Wang Xiao with his right foot and kicked him ten meters away.

The solid kick made Wang Xiao feel really bad. He rolled on the ground for a few times and stood up, and the mirror image had already flown close to him. The continuous swinging of his hands and punches plus the uppercut made Wang Xiao dodge frequently, and he kicked him away with another kick.

Then Wang Xiao was kicked around like a football by the mirror image. He finally seized the opportunity to block a kick that was heading straight for his chest. The mirror image stepped on one foot, turned in the air and kicked Wang Xiao on the head again. I'm afraid that when he goes out, he will be traumatized by seeing long legs.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao was trained as a professional, so he had thick skin and was able to withstand beatings. After being abused for a long time, he also learned a lot of skills. It turned out that growth is the fastest in being abused. The mirror image became a teacher with rich experience in fighting. Wang Xiao was like a sponge that was short of water, constantly absorbing it.

If there was a trick that Wang Xiao couldn't crack, he would use it to see how the mirror image would respond, and over time, a closed loop could be formed. As he added some of his own insights, Wang Xiao finally welcomed an explosive counterattack in the silence of being beaten, kicking the mirror image away with one kick, avenging countless kicks. At that moment, it was really enlightening, and all the beatings before were worth it!

Wang Xiao, who had gained huge benefits, looked at Master Wang who was five meters away. He released his spiritual energy and performed the tiger form in the Wanhuaxing Fist. His unique spiritual armor was also released for defense.

Master Wang stood there like a still well, without any spiritual fluctuations. The roar of a tiger cut through the air, but Master Wang did not dodge or take a defensive stance. When Wang Xiao punched him in the chest, a fist-sized armor unique to Wang Xiao appeared on his chest, but it was deeper and thicker than his.

Wang Xiao quickly swung his fist to attack the rest of the body. Without exception, when he attacked, the corresponding parts would show armor defense. This startled him, and he quickly used the Lightning Rabbit Shape to dodge to the side. He looked at Master Wang thoughtfully.

Without giving him time to think, Master Wang also used the Wanhuaxing Fist, or more precisely, the Sanhuaxing Fist. Master Wang took off like a nimble rabbit, and a pair of wings appeared behind him to accelerate. His fists turned into two huge tiger claws, which slashed across Wang Xiao's chest before he could react.

The armor that Wang Xiao felt was pretty good before was shattered in an instant. The eerie bloody claw marks on the body transformed from his spirit were so eye-catching, and then they turned into starlight and dissipated.

"Ah!" Wang Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, woke up. He felt discomfort in his head and kept circulating his spiritual power to regain consciousness.

Recalling the scene when the mirror image rushed towards him, Wang Xiao was deeply moved. Could the technique still work like this? And the mirror image's use of armor defense was simply superb.

As expected, it is not enough to just know how to release spiritual energy. There are still many things in the Qi Control Realm that are worth his comprehension.

"You are worthy of being Master Wang." Wang Xiao came out of his frustration. If a counterfeit can do it, how can he, the authentic one, not be able to do it? He will do even better!

"Huh, I can still summon it." Wang Xiao was originally upset that a good hidden weapon was gone, but the metal box appeared in front of him as he wished.

"It's a pity that there is still a door that I haven't gone in to take a look. I think it must be extremely extraordinary."

However, it was not a good idea for him to explore further in his current state. The most important thing was to adjust his state and absorb and digest what he had learned from Master Wang.
