The system is the proficiency panel

The two chatted about everything from their daily lives to cultivation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After they both had their fill, Ye Zizhen thought about the news he had received a few days ago and asked in confusion.

"Ruoye, your family has moved to Haifeng City, why didn't you go with them?"

"Zi Xin, you know, this is a family decision, and I have no choice. I will be leaving in about a month. I wanted to wait until after your birthday to tell you so as not to affect your mood."

Ruoye's smile faded and she looked a little sad, with helplessness in her words. Then she suddenly stood up and leaned close to Ye Zizhen's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"Zi Xin, as the eldest daughter of the Ye family, you should also know the news that other cities are preparing to besiege Hongxia City."

"I know the dangers inside. You don't need to persuade me. I won't leave."

Ye Zizhen was resolute in his attitude and showed no sign of hesitation.

Although she had anticipated this situation, Ruoye still wanted to persuade him again. However, looking at the other party's determined eyes, she was speechless. Finally, she gave up persuading him, sat back in her seat, composed herself, smiled again and said.

"We both don't like too much noise, so how about this, your birthday is in half a month, don't invite anyone else, and just celebrate it together like before? Just treat it as a practice for me."

"This... Ruoye, I'm sorry, I'm afraid it won't work this time. My brother will be here too. Otherwise, after the banquet, I'll ask you out for a midnight snack alone?"

Ye Zizhen shook her head and rejected the other party's proposal, but she didn't want to make her friend sad, so she offered other suggestions.

"Okay, it's a deal."

After hearing what Ye Zizhen said, Ruoye's expression changed from worry to joy and she agreed, stretching out her little finger to make a pinky promise.

She also felt relieved. If Ye Zixin didn't agree to let her go out alone, it would be difficult for her to find a chance to take Ye Zixin away.

After the two made an agreement, they left the cafeteria. Ye Zizhen said goodbye and went back to his school.

……

Roar!

The roar echoed around the exposed crater, with columns of fire rising into the sky from time to time and sharp sword lights flashing.

Several hours later, the strange phenomena around the volcano subsided, leaving only sharp sword marks and surging magma.

Ouch! Ouch!

Next to the crater that was devastated by the battle, three shrunken red flame beasts were roaring and blaming each other, accusing each other of what they had done wrong.

Lin Ji, who was resting with his upper body exposed and soaked in the magma, saw this scene and smiled without stopping it. He checked what he had gained from this battle.

[You have experienced an ordinary battle, Fire: Burning Proficiency +1]

Looking at the information displayed on the panel, Lin Ji was speechless. After fighting for so long, he only gained this much. It felt better to practice in seclusion, so that he wouldn't need to repair the surrounding environment.

Just as Lin Ji was sighing, three red flame beasts came over, surrounded him and rubbed against him, wanting him to judge who was right and who was wrong.

Lin Ji came back to his senses and took a look. He moved his fingers slightly and quickly knocked on the three red flame beasts, causing them to retreat a few steps uncontrollably.

"Instead of making noise, why don't you practice diligently and strive to transform as soon as possible, so that you don't have to stay in the middle of nowhere all the time."

The Red Flame Beast nodded quickly in agreement when being scolded, but no one knew whether it had listened to him or not. At this moment, Lin Ji suddenly realized something and took out the jade token from his savings ring to check. It was sent by Yue Shanwu.

[Diaozi, there have been quite a lot of warriors moving around Hongxia City recently. I ordered people to check it out. Most of the warriors are out hunting normally, and a small number of them are families and warriors who left after receiving the news. I sent people to carefully check on the families that left, and among them, the Ruo family is a little strange.]

[The Ruo family is an old family in Hongxia City. They claimed that they moved to Haifeng City for family reasons. But after checking Haifeng City, they found that the Ruo family did go there, but the number of people was not right. There were only a few cats and dogs there to make up the numbers. After checking their memories, they found nothing special. They only knew that the main force of the Ruo family went out to discuss business with others. On the surface, only Miss Ruoye of the Ruo family did not leave Hongxia City. She lived in the home of a boy named Chen Chen for a few days and occasionally went shopping with Ye Zizhen.]

[The above situations can be explained, but I always feel that something is wrong, so I report it to you.]

What could be wrong with Ruo's family? If they were enemies, why did they leave? Why didn't they just stay and wait for an opportunity to attack from the inside? And why did they approach Ye Zizhen?

Lin Ji, who was confused, sent a message to Yue Shanwu first, then stood up, put on his clothes, restored the damaged environment around him, said goodbye to the Red Flame Beast and left.

Not long after he left, the three red flame beasts rolled their eyes and immediately ran happily to the crater, jumped into the lava to play, and threw Lin Ji's words behind their backs.

……

Time flies, half a month passed quickly, and it was the day before Ye Zizhen's birthday.

The moon was bright that night, and the stars were sparse, illuminating the entire earth. It looked particularly beautiful under the starlight in the night sky.

And in such a beautiful night, there were two figures rushing around in the forest far away from the city. I don’t know how many trees were destroyed in the chase. The distance between them was slowly shortening. The situation of the two people could be clearly seen in the moonlight.

The man running away in front was tall, his clothes were tattered, his right arm was broken and blood was oozing out, his face was hideous and disfigured, but he could still be vaguely recognized as Fu Jiu.

The person chasing behind him was Chen Chen. His condition at this moment was much better than Fu Jiu's, except that his clothes were torn and there were a few bloodstains on his body.

Ten meters, six meters, three meters...

Watching the figure getting closer and closer, Chen Chen gathered all his strength in his right fist and struck Fu Jiu's head hard, vowing to kill him with one blow.

Fu Jiu sensed the danger and immediately turned his body to the side, trying to avoid Chen Chen's attack. However, due to his severe injuries, his movements were much slower, and coupled with Chen Chen's extremely fast speed, he was unable to dodge in time.

boom!

With a loud bang, Chen Chen's punch hit Fu Jiu's head. Fu Jiu's body was immediately knocked flying, breaking several large trees in succession before falling heavily to the ground. His head hit the ground with a loud bang, and bright red blood gushed out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Chen was filled with murderous intent. He flashed to Fu Jiu's side and stepped hard on his heart, shattering it. Fu Jiu didn't utter another word until his death.

Looking at Fu Jiu lying at his feet, lifeless, Chen Chen did not feel any guilt or pity. He just felt that the effect of the dragon tooth grass was too good. As an eighth-level warrior fighting against a ninth-level warrior, he won so easily.

It's time to go back to find Ruoye. If it weren't for her, it wouldn't have been so easy to trick Fu Jiu into such a remote place.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen left here quickly. Anyway, there would be wild beasts to help deal with Fu Jiu's body, so there was nothing to worry about.
