Chapter 72

Soon, another large pile of mid-tier Fire Crystal Stones was placed in front of Lu Zhangsheng.

He did not hesitate and immediately began to absorb them.

"Source Energy Point +5"

"Source Energy Point +5"

After absorbing them all, he opened the panel to check the harvest.

Source Energy Points: 240.

Resources broke through the 200 mark again, and this was only exploring a part of the volcanic crater area.

There must be quite a few Fire Crystal Stones left behind.

He must seize the time to collect enough spiritual creatures for his own breakthrough to Bone-forging.

The situation is becoming increasingly tense; no one knows when the evil spirit in the County Lord's mansion will erupt, coupled with the Sovereign in the dark, and the Black Mountain Bandits outside, without Bone-forging strength, even his own safety is difficult to guarantee.

Lu Zhangsheng took the Ant Tribe army again and explored all the way to the central part.

Over the next few days, he kept collecting Fire Crystal Stones everywhere.

The harvest was also extremely considerable.

In just over ten days, the Source Energy Points in his hand had skyrocketed by a large margin.

Ten days later, early morning.

In a large cave.

Lu Zhangsheng lay on the ground and opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 600.

Looking at the numbers above, his face was full of joy.

It was not in vain that he dug crazily; the entire volcanic crater had been roughly explored.

Some remaining areas were estimated to produce quite a few Fire Crystal Stones.

Some inferior Fire Crystal Stones were also collected by him to feed the Flame Ants.

Coupled with a large number of Fire Armor Scorpion corpses, the Ant colony would usher in a new outbreak.

It was thought that it wouldn't be long before they could recover the consumption of this great battle.

And he also discovered that the Flame Ants that survived several great battles were even more fierce.

Especially those Flame Ants stimulated by Source Energy Points were not far from Tier 2.

If it weren't for the Ant Queen only having Tier 2 strength, suppressing the overall rank of the Ant colony, it was feared that some Flame Ants had already broken through to Tier 2.

Next, Lu Zhangsheng prepared to cultivate the Ant colony while collecting the remaining Fire Crystal Stones.

Everything was already on the right track.

When the resources of the volcanic crater were not dug clean, he did not plan to go out for the time being.

With Source Energy Points in hand, he was going to break through to Bone-forging at this moment.

…………

Changping County.

Late at night, inside a study, the candle flickered.

Lu Zhangsheng opened the panel.

【Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt】 (Perfection).

The fusion button behind it lit up again.

The wanton slaughter these days meant his own secret manuals had long been collected.

He knew the time for the breakthrough had arrived.

He pointed up immediately.

"Hum..."

Bursts of humming sounds came from his mind, as if a fluctuation from the netherworld descended, extremely miraculous.

【After thirty years of hard practice as one day, you finally melted many Refining Meat martial arts such as Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt, Spirit Monkey Fist, Spirit Crane Fist... together and created a brand-new martial art.】

【Do you want to rename the new cultivation technique?】

Crisp prompt sounds rang in his mind one after another.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed across.

He lowered his head quietly to look at his own changes.

He saw that his whole body was filled with a kind of silver-white rune, like a work of art, extremely gorgeous.

There was light flickering on the runes, extending straight toward his arms.

Such a magical change made Lu Zhangsheng quite surprised.

"Is this still the Iron Cloth Shirt?"

The silver runes all over his body clearly were not something an ordinary cultivation technique could possess.

He named the new cultivation technique directly.

【Silver Arm Skill】.

Cultivation Technique: Silver Arm Skill (Entry).

Level: Top-level cultivation technique.

Cultivation Technique Evaluation: Four stars.

Source Energy Points: 100.

Note: A top-level cultivation technique born from melting many Refining Meat martial arts, it can develop the potential of the warrior's bone marrow to the greatest extent, and under the vibration of silver runes, it has great benefits for Bone-forging.

This improvement consumed a total of five hundred Source Energy Points, but in exchange for a huge improvement in strength, it was also worth it.

The remaining one hundred points were just left to stimulate the secret art to prevent emergencies.

Lu Zhangsheng couldn't wait to walk into the courtyard and began to test it.

He saw him standing with his feet apart, gently stimulating the 【Silver Arm Skill】.

"Hum..."

The silver runes all over his body flickered slightly, and his whole body began to feel a bit itchy, finally penetrating deep into the bone marrow.

As the runes vibrated rapidly, the impurities in the bone marrow were also discharged out of the body bit by bit.

The bone marrow in his body seemed to be dyed with a wisp of silver radiance.

"Such a strong effect, as expected of a top-level cultivation technique."

This was also one of the benefits brought by his perfect breakthrough.

With this cultivation technique, even without Source Energy Points, he had hope of cultivating the bone marrow to Perfection.

Of course, he would not ask for trouble; that time was too long, so adding points was convenient and fast.

Subsequently, Lu Zhangsheng began to test his own strength.

He gently stimulated the cultivation technique, clenched his fists tightly, and a powerful force that seemed to be able to break the void surged into his body.

He discovered that his own strength had reached about 100,000 jin, directly skyrocketing by double.

With this strength, a Bone-forging early-stage warrior would be blown up instantly with one punch, without any power to resist.

At this moment, he already had the strength of the early Bone-forging late stage; this was just a breakthrough, and when the cultivation technique reached Minor Accomplishment and Major Accomplishment, his strength would continue to skyrocket.

After this breakthrough was successful, Lu Zhangsheng had initially stepped into the forest of the strong and would never be manipulated by others at will again.

And with his body method of Perfection, after his strength metamorphosed, it increased by another margin.

With his speed, he could go anywhere in the entire Changping County.

Even if there were strong people he couldn't beat, he could retreat quickly.

This was the huge confidence brought by his breakthrough to Bone-forging.

As long as he collected resources again next and improved several cultivation techniques to the top level, his strength would increase quite a bit.

After this breakthrough, the next plan could finally proceed.

Although he couldn't touch that time bomb Du Ling for the time being, it was feasible to disrupt some of the Wenxiang Sect's plans.

As long as he could slow down the other party's development time, he was creating opportunities for himself.

Now Lu Zhangsheng lacked time to develop.

He must give that group of cultists some eye drops.

At this moment, relying on his body method, even if a Blood Transmutation strongman made a move personally, he could retreat immediately.

And there was the Sanhe Gang matter, which also needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

He always suspected that the Sanhe Gang had some kind of connection with these cultists.

That secret letter was still in his hand. As long as he could strike the Sanhe Gang, he was happy to make a move.

Over the next few days.

Lu Zhangsheng had been at home familiarizing himself with the new cultivation technique and had a more thorough understanding of his own strength.

This day, late at night.

In the mansion outside the city.

"Clang clang clang..."

Lu Zhangsheng operated the Shrink Bone Skill, and his body began to change rapidly.

Soon he became a strange burly man.

He picked up the Killing Pig Knife and walked out of the courtyard.

Like a ghost, he disappeared on the street quickly.

These days, besides practicing martial arts, he was monitoring the people of the Wenxiang Sect in the city.

Relying on his speed advantage, he also discovered quite a few clues.

Tonight was the day he closed the net.

Walking along the street all the way.

The surroundings were quiet, without a single figure, and the atmosphere was quite bizarre.

Not long after.

Lu Zhangsheng arrived at the end of a street, then jumped up, jumping onto the eaves.

He did not make the slightest sound.

Then he walked along the roof all the way and soon stopped at a corner.

Looking down.

Inside a small house opposite, the lamp flickered.

"How is the food prepared?"

"Everything is in the plan; some time ago, we were often intercepted and killed by strange strongmen, but fortunately, after the Holy Sect sent strongmen, the other party actually disappeared..."

"Continue to seize the time; if you ruin the Sovereign's big event, you know the consequences..."

"I understand."

A man and a woman were whispering in the room.

Just at this time, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom..."

With a loud noise, the door was kicked away violently.

Under the huge force, it collapsed into wood chips.

Immediately after, a burly man walked in, holding a long knife, his face like frost.

The two people in the room saw this change, their faces full of horror.

"It's you! The person who ambushed the Holy Sect last time!"

The two of them reacted instantly.

Although Lu Zhangsheng changed his appearance, there were quite a few disguise techniques in the cultivation world.

The two of them could guess the ins and outs with a little thought.

"Kill."

The two did not hesitate, immediately drew the long knives in their hands, and killed toward Lu Zhangsheng.

Evil aura erupted all over their bodies, and the momentum was quite extraordinary.

Clearly, both were Bone-forging strongmen; the middle-aged man was slightly stronger, in the Bone-forging middle stage, while the woman had just stepped into Bone-forging.

"Die."

Lu Zhangsheng was full of murderous intent.

He lifted the Killing Pig Knife in his hand and slashed toward the two quickly.

The speed was so fast that even an afterimage appeared in the void.

"Boom boom boom..."

The two sides collided fiercely, and rolling air waves spread out.

As soon as they touched, the long knives of the two Wenxiang Sect people shattered instantly.

In the eyes of the two full of fear, Lu Zhangsheng slashed toward the woman's head with one knife.

"Ah..."

The woman was instantly separated from her head and body, her head rolled toward the ground, and a large amount of fresh blood sprayed out.

One strike, directly blowing up a Bone-forging warrior.

The remaining middle-aged man saw this and immediately fled toward the back door.

He had been scared out of his wits and only thought about how to save his life.

Before the other party could go far.

"Clatter..."

The Killing Pig Knife was instantly thrown by Lu Zhangsheng, turning into a stream of light, piercing straight through the man's chest.

"You..."

The man turned around, pointed at Lu Zhangsheng, couldn't say a word, and fell to the ground.

With the other party's Bone-forging middle-stage strength, if he stimulated his blood essence to fight to the death, he could still resist for a while.

Unfortunately, this person was scared out of his wits; once a warrior lost the courage to make a move, he was not far from death.

After killing the two, Lu Zhangsheng searched them and then turned to walk out.

Over the next period of time.

Lu Zhangsheng would ambush once late at night every few days.

Relying on his ghostly body method, no one discovered him.

Ten days later, one night.

Lu Zhangsheng was walking on the eaves of West Street, just preparing to ambush.

Suddenly, he felt a biting murderous intent lock onto him.

He operated his body method and flashed backward without hesitation.

The speed was as fast as a thunderbolt.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng left the original spot, an old man in red robes with sunken eyes appeared on the roof instantly.

This person held a long knife, his face full of evil.

Borrowing the remaining light, Lu Zhangsheng finally saw clearly the person who ambushed him.

This person was the old man who fought with Wei Shaoxuan that day, Wenxiang Sect Branch Leader Wei Zhongyuan.

The other party finally sent a master to intercept and kill him; although this person's strength was far inferior to Wei Shaoxuan's, he was also a Blood Transmutation strongman.

However, Lu Zhangsheng would not fight with the other party at all.

He kicked with one leg, and one flash was more than ten meters, fast as lightning running toward the front.

"Who exactly are you? The old man knows all the Blood Transmutation strongmen in the city..."

Wei Zhongyuan pursued relentlessly.

Lu Zhangsheng ignored him at all, and after several leaps and dodges, he disappeared at the street entrance.

Wei Zhongyuan did not pursue anymore, standing in place, his brows tightly locked.

He didn't know where such a Blood Transmutation strongman with this kind of speed popped out from.

Even he himself couldn't catch up.

A moment later.

Lu Zhangsheng returned to his own small courtyard.

He had long expected that the Wenxiang Sect would lie in wait for him.

He didn't expect that a Branch Leader would actually make a move.

He didn't know how many cult strongmen were hidden in the city now.

He even somewhat suspected that the other party had a secret channel connecting to outside the city.

These cult forces that had developed for many years would always have some backhands.
