Boom!

  As soon as I entered the inner vision state, I felt a loud rumbling sound in my head, and then... I saw the endless river-like true energy flowing inside the meridians!

  Good heavens!

  I was shocked and almost cried out, whats going on? Where did so much true energy come from? I remember... there was only one high-density true energy vortex originally, where did all this true energy come from?!

  The true energy now, although not as dense as the original vortex of true energy, is more than double in quantity compared to before. In other words, after going through this catastrophe, my power has suddenly increased by more than a fold!

  According to the previous practice method, I started to visualize a red sun in the dantian position. As soon as this thought arose, the true qi inside my bodys meridians quickly sprang up and rapidly converged on my dantian. In just a moment, it gathered into a bright red sun, emitting brilliant light and intense heat!

  The red sun revolves inside the meridians, and with my intention controlling it, the red sun slowly starts to move, steadily moving inside the meridians. Very quickly... I discovered a completely different change from before!

  In the past, my true energy was synthesized into a vortex, using the suction generated by the vortex to forcibly absorb the free energy in the interstitial space of cells and tissues into the true energy vortex.

  But now its different, completely without suction, and no gravitational pull, the red sun is like a king inspecting his territory, wherever he goes, the beneficial energy between cells rushes towards the sun, one by one joining the body of the red sun, as if the emperors loyal soldiers are joining his army.

  Not only that, but every cell has some energy-releasing cells that start to rush towards the red sun, collecting heat that is several times more than before!

  In the past, the vortex of true energy could only attract the heat in the intercellular space. But now its different. This time, even the heat on the surface of the cells actively left the cell wall and converged towards the Red Sun. The amount of energy collected within a unit distance is simply incomparable to before.

  As I made the move, I took a light and deep breath, letting the red sun slowly disperse, all the true energy re-entering the four limbs and hundred meridians. Suddenly...I felt my body filled with infinite power!

  Excited, I closed my eyes and tears flowed uncontrollably. Although I havent tried it yet, I know that I have already entered the second layer of Jiu Yang Shen Gong, which means I am now a mid-level warrior. I can finally start forging my Ba Zhan Bao Dao.

  I slowly stood up, looking at the red sun on the horizon, my heart was excited, all the efforts, finally had a return, a year of hard work, I finally successfully raised my strength to the level of an intermediate warrior.

  Although I know that the density of true energy in my body is still very thin, its just the second layer of entry, but I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, then... one day, I will make a breakthrough again!

  I tightly grasped both hands, I dont know... in the history of this continent, a middle-aged fifty or so is the youngest, but I believe that an 11-year-old middle-aged warrior is absolutely an astonishing existence!

  Looking at the water buffalo roaming on the distant riverbank, I really want to know what the outcome would be if I were to have a fierce battle with it now that my strength has increased exponentially.

  I raised my hands in a helpless gesture and let out a wry smile. Without a weapon, what could I use to try? It seemed... it was time to head back to the Dwarf Village. After Ive forged the Hundred-Battle Blade, Ill be back, and when I return, Ill see just what kind of power difference there is between mid-tier warriors and the Water Buffalo Beast.

  Theres nothing worth taking, with empty hands I head in the direction of the dwarf village, I wonder... what kind of expression will the tribal elder have when he finds out that Ive become a mid-level warrior.

  When I returned to the village chief, the tribal elder was giving a speech on the small square. After nearly a year of training, these dozens of dwarf children have made gratifying progress. Now...the day when they become qualified apprentice warriors is not far away. The next few days are the most important for them.

  As soon as he saw me return, the patriarch quickly ended his conversation with them. All the dwarf children dispersed and silently continued their bitter training, just as the patriarch had said, there was absolutely no lazy person in the dwarf tribe.

  The old patriarch of the tribe sat back in his house, and when I told him with a straight face that I had reached the intermediate warrior level, the water cup he was holding fell to the ground with a crash, and he stared at me with an incredulous expression.

  Dwarves are not only not lazy, but also extremely honest. Boastful talk is simply impossible for them. What they say is what they mean, and being practical is the most precious quality of dwarves. If it werent so, how would they have gained such a great reputation on the continent? If a dwarf says a weapon is good, then it absolutely wont be bad, no need to appraise it.

  The village elder took me directly to the papaya grove outside the village and asked me to cut down 20 papaya trees for him.

  A faint smile, 20 bowl-mouth thick wooden melons? No... thats too easy for me, Ive already been able to do it months ago. Now Im an intermediate warrior, my strength is twice that of a primary warrior, how can I still chop 20 bowl-mouth thick wooden melons?

  He smiled slightly, borrowed the war axe from his grandfather, swung it twice, and... still felt quite familiar with it. After all, all dwarf battle axes were of the same specification, except for their size being a bit different, whether in shape or weight, they were almost identical.

  Take a deep breath, glare with both eyes, the next moment... I start moving, my body sprinting at high speed, the giant axe in my hand raised high, and with a swift and fierce motion, I chop down on the thick trunk of the papaya tree.

  Boom! Boom! Boom......

  With a flash of the axe, wherever I passed, thick-trunked papaya trees fell down one after another. In just the blink of an eye, I had turned back to stand before Tribal Elder Grandfather again. Centering on Tribal Elder Grandfather, 20 thick-trunked papaya trees lay neatly on the ground.

  The clan elders eyes widened in shock, staring at me incredulously, muttering: "Heavens! Heavens... Am I going blind with age? You... you actually!"

  He cant help but be surprised, after all... hes just a high-level warrior, and it took him hundreds of years of hard work to get there. And me? Im not even 11 years old yet, and Ive already reached the level of a mid-level warrior! How could he not be shocked?!

  Gently handing back the axe, I excitedly said: "Tribe leader grandfather, can I start forging my true hundred-battle knife now?"

  The clan elder grandfather was slightly stunned, and then came to his senses. After all, he was a man of several hundred years old, with very good control over his emotions, and quickly regained his calm.

  The clan elder looked at me with admiration, shaking his head and saying: "Ah... Ive always thought highly of you, but I didnt expect... youre even more formidable than I anticipated!"

  Shaking his head and sighing for a moment, the tribal elder asked: "Didnt you go through the assessment of primary warrior and intermediate warrior before forging the treasure sword?"

  With a faint smile, I respectfully replied: "Tribe leader grandfather, thats just a formality, it doesnt affect my forging of the Hundred Wars Treasure Sword at all. Since Ive already reached the intermediate warrior level...I think I should be able to forge the Hundred Wars Sword now."

  I paused for a moment, then continued: "I want to use my new Bai Zhan Dao to face my exams, I will use my new Bai Zhan Dao to win all the glory for me!

  The clan elder smiled at me, stroking his whiskers with a pleased expression: "Well... what you say isnt wrong, but... if you havent gone through the rank certification, then for now, we cant perform the Fantastical Beast Baptism on you."

  I slightly shook my head and said, "Thats not a problem, whats most urgent for me now is to forge my Hundred Battles Sword. Even if you teach me the technique of capturing the Phantom Beast, I dont have the mood or time to capture it."

  With a faint smile, I continued: "And...my Phantom Beast should also be subdued with my new Hundred Battle Knife, because...the Hundred Battle Knife will be the most important partner in my life!"

  The clan elder nodded and thought for a moment before saying to me, "Alright... follow me first. Before the forging of the Hundred Wars Sword, I have some things to tell you."

  A mysterious smile, the patriarchal grandfather hehe smiled and said: "Well... maybe it should be called a secret, you also know... every dwarf has a skilled forging technique, as the patriarch I am not an exception either?"

  With a soft sigh, the clans elder continued: "Youve been my apprentice for a long time now. Apart from the basic forging techniques, I havent taught you the deepest secrets... but now its time to tell you!"

  Following the perplexed tribal elder grandfather, although I really wanted to know what the trick was, I didnt ask. I believed... that what should be told to me, the tribal elder grandfather would tell me soon.

  Many friends are complaining that I update too slowly, actually... I just want to stay on the new book chart for two more days and increase some collection votes, hoping everyone can understand, after all... if the results are too bad, I wont be able to continue writing!

  Besides... a speed of almost 6,000 words per day is not slow at all. Updates will start at noon (12:00) and 8:00 PM every day, hope everyone can come on time to watch.
