Book of Disaster

"Ji Lei Shan Wuhun?"

Xu Xuansu was startled when he heard this, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, and he quickly said:

"If I remember correctly, the Jileishan Martial Soul is one of the most powerful martial souls of the barbarians. Only barbarians with royal blood have the opportunity to awaken it. It is very rare. Bai Qi, why are you asking this?"

"The barbarian royal family?!"

Bai Qi was shocked.

Although he felt that the powerful barbarian was of some importance, he did not expect that he was actually a member of the barbarian royal family.

"It seems that the situation is far more serious than I thought."

Bai Qi said secretly, and instantly understood why the general would directly order the entire army to be on alert and be ready for battle.

Afterwards, Bai Qi told Xu Xuansu what he had seen and heard tonight, but he also concealed the matter of the demon king's skeleton.

"what!"

Xu Xuansu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he frowned deeply:

"The Monster Mountain Range is the sphere of influence of the Great Yuan Dynasty. The soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom and the mysterious barbarian warriors...these two forces should never appear here. What is going on?"

"do not know."

Bai Qi shook his head and said solemnly:

"But no matter what the reason is, it is definitely not good news for us."

After the words were spoken, the two fell silent.

Seeing the atmosphere getting heavier, Zhou Yixian on the side couldn't help but speak up:

"What are you afraid of? This is our Yuan Dynasty's territory, and there are so many soldiers stationed here. How can a barbarian and those Dayu soldiers cause trouble?"

"I think it won't take more than a few hours before they are found by patrolling soldiers and tortured to death."

"Haha, that's true."

Bai Qi and Xu Xuansu also smiled when they heard this.

The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

"By the way, since you made such an important discovery this time, didn't the general give you any reward?"

As if he had thought of something, Xu Xuansu asked.

In the military, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Although Bai Qi's discovery this time is not a great achievement, it is by no means a small matter since it concerns the Dayu Kingdom.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

Bai Qi laughed and said:

"I was awarded a third-class military merit this time. In addition, I was also rewarded with a Golden Sun Tiger Dragon Pill."

As he spoke, Bai Qi stretched out his hand, and a red-gold pill appeared.

"Yes, that makes sense."

Xu Xuansu's eyes lit up slightly and he nodded:

"With this Golden Sun Tiger Dragon Pill, after some time, perhaps you will be able to officially break through to the Martial Sect level."

"Ah."

Bai Qi nodded.

Pills are secondary, but military merit is something that can only be achieved by chance.

Bai Qi is just a new recruit now, but he already has third-class military merit, which will be of great help to his future military promotion. This is something that others cannot envy.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

Things did not develop as smoothly as Zhou Yixian had expected. According to the information provided by Bai Qi, the patrol soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty found two more traces left by the Dayu soldiers around the barbarian territory, but the other party seemed to have left first.

As for the powerful barbarian, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

For several days, the southwest camp was under martial law and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Even the reserve assessment of Bai Qi and others was postponed because of this incident.

However, Bai Qi himself was not affected too much. For Bai Qi, the most important thing was still to find a way to deal with the unfathomable destiny villain Li Yuxuan "four months later" as mentioned in the heavenly book.

"My current strength is far from enough. I must speed up and break through to the Martial Sect as soon as possible."

In the tent, Bai Qi sat cross-legged beside the bed, muttering to himself.

The Shura Martial Spirit did have a great effect on Bai Qi. With the same amount of training time, Bai Qi's progress was much faster than others, and the amount of vital energy he absorbed was several times more than others.

So far, Bai Qi has broken through to the ninth level of martial artist.

"Bai Qi, are you there?"

Just when Bai Qi was thinking alone, a light female voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

The other party's footsteps were very light. If she hadn't spoken, Bai Qi would not have noticed that she had already walked out of the tent. It was obvious that the other party was extremely powerful.

However, when Bai Qi heard the other party's voice, he just smiled slightly, not surprised at all.

"Miss Xu, come in."

Bai Qi smiled.

The tent was opened, and a familiar fiery red figure, heroic and bringing with it a gust of fresh air, walked in from outside.

Xu Xuansu and Bai Qi were already very familiar with each other, so seeing this, he didn't hesitate and sat down on a sandalwood chair next to Bai Qi.

"Bai Qi, did you come to me because you encountered any problems?"

"Not really. I just want to ask, what is the secret to going from a martial arts master to a martial arts master? How can one achieve a breakthrough quickly?"

Bai Qi spoke.

"The path of martial arts is difficult at every step. How can it be that simple?"

Xu Xuansu shook his head, but glanced at Bai Qi and hesitated:

"But I see that your energy, bones, and internal strength are already very strong, so it would be good to learn about them in advance."

"You must have known that a martial arts master has strong internal strength and can release internal energy to form armor outside the body, just like Xiong Zhantian, or perform the Hundred-Step Divine Fist. Of course, this requires reaching a very high level. When it comes to martial arts masters, the most important thing is to transform internal energy into elements."

"Internal force elementalization?"

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, showing great interest. This was not the first time he had heard this word, but he had no idea what it meant.

"The so-called internal force elementalization means absorbing enough elemental power to obtain the power of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

“Isn’t this the Five Elements?”

Bai Qi said in surprise.

"You even know the five elements?"

Xu Xuansu was also surprised when he saw this.

Bai Qi was stunned when he saw this. He wanted to say that this was common sense, but then something suddenly occurred to him and he immediately realized that this was the difference between two worlds.

——In another world, the knowledge of the Five Elements is common knowledge known to ordinary children, but it is obviously not the case in this world.

Judging from Xu Xuansu's reaction, it was obvious that he had some advanced knowledge of martial arts.

However, Xu Xuansu did not ask too much and continued:

"It's good that you know it, so I don't have to explain it. The power of the five elements sounds simple, but it is actually much more complicated than it sounds. The so-called elementalization of the internal force of a martial arts master requires mastering at least one element. Occasionally, some geniuses are gifted and can master two at the same time."

"So few? Can't you master more at the same time?"

Bai Qi asked subconsciously.

"How can it be that simple? Beginners are so greedy and want to master the power of the five elements at the same time, but you will understand if you think about it. It is impossible to master water and fire at the same time, and it is also impossible to possess wood and metal at the same time. Once you force yourself to try, you will have several conflicting powers in your body at the same time, and you will probably explode and die. This is the so-called biting off more than you can chew."

Xu Xuansu burst into laughter when he heard this.

The five elements are mutually exclusive. Bai Qi understood the elegant meaning of the music by hearing it, and immediately understood it.
