Chapter 881

*Tch. *

White mist sprayed.

Chishan flicked its horse tail.

Liang Qu didn't know the excitement outside and concentrated on his practice.

The Qi in his dantian surged endlessly, continuously expanding outward.

His original dantian, looking down from above, was about the size of seventeen immortal island cross-sections.

Judging from the consumption of many divine abilities, 【Water Travel for a Thousand Miles】 can just be used as a benchmark; its extreme distance movement will consume the amount of Qi of one immortal island.

Now the area of the dantian is continuously leaning toward eighteen, nineteen!

The size of the dantian does not determine the strength.

It is merely the "fuel" for driving divine abilities, techniques, martial arts, and other means, but it can be regarded as a kind of accumulation.

Usually, an ordinary First-Realm Jiang Zongshi opens a dantian four or five times the size of the Heavenly Palace, and nourishing it to more than twenty times is the limit, and that is after decades or even a hundred years of accumulation.

Taking special heaven and earth treasures, or a small number of talented people, can break through to the number of thirty.

To make a big breakthrough, one must reach the Second-Realm Great Jiang Zongshi and then set a divine ability foundation, so the upper limit can be refreshed.

When Liang Qu was promoted, he had ten or even eleven times the size, far exceeding the four or five times of the Heavenly Palace of others. After promotion, he spent a high-speed growth period in the practice room of the Wangyue Building, directly reaching the number of sixteen!

Looking at it now.

Others' twenty is just his beginning!

The cloud sea surged and spread.

The details of the first Dragon Court Xiandao are becoming more and more perfect. Located in the upper left corner of the first Dragon Court, there is even an accumulation of a few jade bricks!

Very wonderful!

The construction of the Dragon Court Xiandao allows more thoughts that are rarely seen on weekdays to pour into his heart.

Liang Qu has had three epiphanies.

The so-called epiphany is an irrepressible emotional impulse, combined with a flash of inspiration in an instant, and an understanding of something or someone that suddenly becomes clear.

Emotional impulses don't have to be very strong; great sorrow and great joy, and the feeling of thousands of thoughts are best, vaguely communicating with heaven and earth.

It's like a traveler in the desert drinking sweet spring water; thoughts enter the fast lane, and inspirations that are difficult to obtain on weekdays burst out one after another as if they don't cost money.

The road to the Dragon Court Xiandao is becoming more and more formed!

……

Dusk.

The sunset was orange.

Bones cracked one after another.

Du Rong Hanwen's bulging muscles slowly faded, contracted, and the blue veins writhing like small snakes subsided. He slowly opened his eyes, his pupils expanded with excitement, and he reached out to clench his fist.

Power!

Endless power!

It surged out from his body continuously!

Skin, flesh, bones, and blood.

The flesh gate, broken!

He thought it would take half a year, but never did he expect to have such an opportunity today.

In the martial arts academy competition before the end of the year, he will definitely win a good ranking and go home to make his parents happy!

Looking at Earl Baron Xingyi on the horse's back again.

When drinking water, don't forget the well-digger. Du Rong Hanwen didn't hesitate at all, knelt down with a *puff* and kowtowed. After worshiping, he thanked Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong who were guarding on the side respectfully.

"Heh, this kid is not stupid!"

"He looked dull, but isn't he quite smart?"

"Your name is Du Rong Hanwen, right? I've remembered it."

Other apprentices whispered and pointed.

Noisy endlessly.

Outside the martial arts academy, it was as lively as inside.

On the wide dirt road, more than a dozen carriages were lined up. A coachman waited left and right, but didn't see his young master come out. He jumped off the carriage, took out the osmanthus cake prepared for the young master, and asked the apprentices standing guard at the door.

"Little Sir, why isn't the academy dismissed yet today? Could it be that Master Yang came to give guidance today?"

Other coachmen saw someone asking and all crowded forward to "eavesdrop."

Master Yang coming to give guidance to apprentices would indeed be late, but those days were fixed.

"Not Master Yang. Earl Baron Xingyi came today, and he just happened to have an epiphany..." It wasn't dinner time yet, and the apprentice on guard was indeed a bit hungry, took a piece and put it in his mouth, saying vaguely, "Everyone is reluctant to leave, waiting for Earl Baron Xingyi's guidance. There's also a guy named Du Rong Hanwen who saw Earl Baron Xingyi have an epiphany and had an epiphany himself."

"Hiss, Earl Baron Xingyi is here?"

"Really?"

"What is an epiphany?"

"Epiphany is... thinking through things all of a sudden, and then becoming powerful."

"Du Rong Hanwen?" The coachman listening on the side poked his head out. "Is the Little Sir talking about Du Rong Hanwen?"

The apprentice thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "That's the name, tall and thin, doesn't talk much."

"Oh my, it really is my young master!" The coachman slapped his thigh with joy, grabbed the coachman next to him, and shook him vigorously. "My young master had an epiphany, did you hear that?"

"Heard it, heard it."

"Damn it, there's such a thing?"

Du Rong Hanwen's coachman was high-spirited, while more coachmen muttered in their hearts.

Should I pick him up or not?

If I pick him up, how long will I have to wait? What if I wait for an hour or two and the master and mistress get anxious?

"How about we send someone back to send a message and explain?"

"Who will suffer?"

"Draw lots!"

A coachman casually pulled a withered yellow stem from the side of the road.

The fire-like clouds dimmed.

Inside the martial arts academy, lanterns were lit along the way. Apprentices came out to pour tea for the coachmen and send two pieces of dry food.

Wheels rolled, and smoke and dust filled the sky.

More carriages galloped from the road, coming after hearing the news.

On the training ground.

The rhythm of heaven and earth weakened to the point of being uncapturable.

"Alright, alright, go eat first! The epiphany is over. Those who didn't see it, don't wait. You didn't seize the opportunity just now, and you won't seize it now. Your Cao Shixiong Liang is here and won't run away. If he runs, I'll catch him back tomorrow. Go eat! Li Libo, you start, and go back to the office after eating."

Xiang Changsong waved his hand, driving away most of the crowded apprentices like ducks.

The air circulated again.

The cold wind scraped the corners of his clothes.

"Whoosh!"

Long mist sprayed like a sharp sword.

Liang Qu slowly opened his eyes, and the orange lantern light entered his eyes.

Late autumn and early winter, the old crickets in the flower bed chirped weakly, and more than a hundred apprentices stared with wide eyes, their dark pupils shining.

"Ha." Liang Qu turned his neck, withdrew his gaze, and turned off the horse. "Cao Shixiong Hu, Cao Shixiong Xiang!"

"Liang Shidi, why did you think of coming to the martial arts academy today?" Hu Qi asked with a smile.

"Martial Arts Academy? Not Martial Arts Hall anymore?"

"Changed the name! You didn't know?" Xiang Changsong put his arm around Liang Qu's neck and pointed to the plaque on the hall.

Liang Qu looked across: "Huaiyin Martial Arts Academy? Why is it the same name as the old prefecture?"

North of the mountain and south of the water is Yin. South of the Huai River, so the former Pingyang Prefecture was called Huaiyin. Later, Pingyang Town rose abruptly, so it was changed to Pingyang.

"Liang Shidi, guess how many people are in our academy now?"

Liang Qu didn't open his perception to cheat and guessed: "Seven or eight hundred?"

"Ha." Xiang Changsong patted his shoulder. "As of today, it's one thousand three hundred and twenty-four. There are eight hundred and seventy-two in the field today, half of whom have entered the Four Gates realm."

"So many?" Liang Qu was shocked.

It had expanded nearly seven times!

"The matter of rewarding the world only reached Southern Zhili in September. There will be more in the future! Now our academy faces Pingyang Prefecture and outside Pingyang Prefecture. Master said that calling it Yang Family Martial Arts Hall is too stingy. Martial Arts Hall changed to Martial Arts Academy, Yang Family changed to Huaiyin, this is atmospheric!"

"Not only that." Hu Qi added, "Mountain Chief Zhao also discussed whether to move the academy next door. We have many people, and many apprentices joined the Shanghu Academy nearby to save the trouble of running back and forth."

"A big change." Liang Qu felt emotional. "I remember when I came, there were only twenty people in the courtyard, and when Master gave guidance, there were only thirty or forty. Later, it expanded once and reached a hundred."

"Fast seven years, almost ten-year-old old calendar." Xiang Changsong hammered Liang Qu's chest. "Didn't ask you, you don't come on weekdays, why did you have an epiphany when you came today?"

Liang Qu waved his hand, and Chishan stepped forward, lowering its head to loosen the cloth bag in its mouth, revealing the jagged spikes inside.

"Liang Shidi caught two big fish and took some materials, intending to send them to Cao Shixiong to make a weapon. I went to Pingyang Prefecture and heard Uncle Liu talk about the move of the martial arts hall. I studied in the old martial arts hall for more than half a year, and the place was empty. On the way, I felt emotional and had an epiphany."

Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong looked at each other and looked up together.

"Hahaha!"
