The system is the proficiency panel

It was noon, in a residential building in Hongxia City. Ruoye was humming a song in a good mood and happily cooking in the kitchen, because Chen Chen's trust in her had gone a step further and he had told her about the dragon's tooth grass.

Chen Chen was doing rehabilitation exercises in the living room. His injuries had healed a lot. According to his estimation, after a few days of recovery, he could continue to take the next dragon tooth grass and strive to break through to the eighth level of warrior as soon as possible.

"Brother Chen has eaten."

Ruoye walked into the living room carrying the last dish, put it on the dining table and called out. Chen Chen greeted her and went to wash off his sweaty body before sitting at the dining table refreshed. He looked at the table full of dishes and asked embarrassedly.

"Ruoye, won't your family have any objections to you staying here like this?"

"Brother Chen, I should be staying at your place soon."

Ruoye did not answer the question immediately, but said something that shocked Chen Chen.

"My family received news that Hongxia City might be besieged by surrounding cities and many martial saints. It's impossible to win, so I moved the last of my belongings to Haifeng City yesterday. I will stay here for no more than a month before I leave. Brother Chen, let's go together. It's too dangerous here."

When Chen Chen came back to his senses from his shock, he excitedly pulled Ruoye's arm and asked hurriedly.

"Ruoye, is this news true?"

"It can't be fake. I spent a lot of money to buy it."

Ruoye's expression looked serious and not fake. Chen Chen swallowed and said with a complicated expression.

"What about Zizhen? She is still our good friend after all."

"I've thought about it. Given Zizhen's personality, she will definitely not leave. So I'll find a way to ask her out after a while. We can knock her out secretly and take her away together."

"Okay, Ruoye, you stay here first. Let me think about other things. Let's eat first."

Chen Chen changed the subject, forced a smile and invited Ruoye to have dinner together. He grew up in Hongxia City and didn't want to leave if possible, especially since the cause of his father's death had not yet been determined.

……

three days later.

boom!

A dull sound echoed in the courtyard of the Ye family. Ye Zizhen flew backwards more than ten meters and fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness on his face. There were some sword marks on his body that were bleeding, but none of them were fatal.

Watching the slowly disappearing figure of a boy of similar height and age to herself not far ahead, she supported herself with her hands and managed to get up, then limped towards the big tree in the middle of the yard, leaning against the trunk and slowly sliding down to sit on the grass.

"Brother, didn't you say that you were only at the third level of Qi training when you were 12? I'm also at the third level of Qi training, and I'm also a seventh-level warrior. Why am I no match for him?"

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, Ye Zizhen turned his head angrily and looked to the right and asked.

Lin Ji was leaning against a tree trunk and reading quietly. Hearing this, he replied.

"Because of momentum, when I was 12, I realized the power of sword: sharpness, so I could easily break your seventh-level warrior body. There is also the unfinished momentum of time and space, which allows me to keep up with your speed. Your only advantage is that your physical strength is better than mine at the time."

"How do we comprehend that power? I have no idea, brother!"

Ye Zizhen crossed his legs with his head on his knees, looking at Lin Ji with a distressed expression. Because he was in a bad mood, his golden hair seemed to have dulled.

"Think more, read more, practice more, and then look at your talent. Spiritual objects or the legacy of cultivators can also speed up the process. You are currently practicing the earth-level technique "Scorching Flame Golden Body". According to the method in the book, you will naturally understand it after practicing it for a while."

As Lin Ji spoke, his mind moved and a flame rose up, wrapping the frightened Ye Zizhen inside. Then he ignored the other party's shouting and continued to give orders with a smile on his face.

"Don't be afraid to feel it carefully. The 'Scorching Golden Body' requires the use of fire to forge the body. I just happen to be practicing fire recently, so I'll help you."

……

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The sky above Xuantian City was very lively that day, with rays of light flying everywhere in the air. This was because many cultivators who were studying or trading formations in Tianshu City were notified to leave by today at the latest, but they did not know the reason. As a result, only the cultivators of the Formation Hall were left in Tianshu City.

In Xiao Ningxue's room in Tianshu City, she discussed things with Luo Youran.

"You Ran, I will be back in half a month at the latest during my trip to the Tianhai Secret Realm. Please be careful during this time."

"Don't worry, it's been very peaceful recently. But you should be careful when you go to the secret realm. If it's really dangerous, use the necklace to escape and let Feng Tian and those Taoist disciples cover your back."

Luo Youran joked with a smile, but Xiao Ningxue didn't like jokes and responded seriously.

"Other cultivators have entered that secret realm before. Although they didn't go very deep, there is no record of death in the realm of mind building so far. It is still very safe. What's more, I am bringing Tianshucheng with me to meet them outside."

During the conversation, the jade pendant on Xiao Ningxue's waist lit up. She glanced at Luo Youran and said.

"It's time to go."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Be careful on your way."

Luo Youran responded, then stood up and used the teleportation array outside the house to return to the City Lord's Mansion of Xuantian City.

Seeing that the other party had left, Xiao Ningxue directly started Tianshu City and flew quickly to the Tianhai Secret Realm located on the seashore of the southern continent. In just a few minutes, Tianshu City crossed the Endless Sea and arrived not far from the southern continent.

At this time, Xiao Ningxue and Yu Yue also came to the city wall. Feng Tian, ​​who arrived earlier than them, looked at the vaguely visible target in the distance and couldn't help getting excited. Since the last time he went to the secret realm with Lin Ji, he hadn't entered such an unexplored secret realm for a long time.

Seeing Feng Tian's impatient expression, Xiao Ningxue warned.

"Fengtian, don't act on your own before you finish exploring."

"clear."

Feng Tian responded reluctantly.

At this time, Tianshu City also arrived above the Tianhai Secret Realm. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly. After Xiao Ningxue saw that they had arrived at the destination, she explained to Yu Yue beside her, and then flew downwards with Feng Tian.

When the two got closer to the sea, they found that there was no island here, only a large, rapidly rotating whirlpool with a red light spot in the center. The sea water was constantly evaporating, causing thick fog around it.

"Sister Ningxue, that red light is the intersection of the secret realm, right?"

"Yes, that's what the letter said."

Xiao Ningxue responded briefly and her eyes focused. Three blue rays of light broke through the air and hit something in an instant. The shock wave of the collision dispersed the fog around, revealing the surrounding scene and three figures.

Seeing that they were discovered, Dao Yan, Yun Shitian and Jiang Yuan no longer hid and quickly came in front of Xiao Ningxue and the other person. Then Yun Shitian, who was the most extroverted of the three, asked first.

"Strange, Feng Tian, ​​who is at the second level of his state of mind, didn't find us. How did you find us, City Lord Xiao?"
