chapter 4 Cave Exploration

Hallan Kirkland looked shaky. Looking at Indra Peck opposite who was adjusting his energy and recovering, he almost had an uncontrollable urge to laugh out loud.

This was the second time that Indra Peck stopped to recover his spiritual energy. Attacking like he did wildly caused extremely serious damage to his spiritual energy. Hallan Kirkland would not take this opportunity to attack, because just after he was violently attacked, the spiritual energy in his body began to become saturated and began to penetrate into his limbs. Experience told him that his body was about to break through at this moment.

Indra Peck only adjusted his breath for a moment, then gritted his teeth and mobilized his little spiritual energy to launch an attack. His fists hit Hallan Kirkland, and streams of pure spiritual energy were immediately swallowed up by himself after invading his meridians. Although a large part of the spiritual energy disappeared the moment after the invasion, a small part still merged into the sea of ​​​​qi with the flow of his own spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy and strength in his fist became smaller and smaller, until Indra Peck stepped back to adjust his breath again with a frustrated look on his face. The spiritual energy in Hallan Kirkland's body finally accumulated to a critical point, and the dense spiritual energy around Hallan Kirkland continued to fluctuate and tremble.

As soon as this phenomenon began, everyone watching the battle was shocked and stunned. You must know that breakthrough is different from others. It requires a relatively stable state of mind and blood to be completed. In the midst of a fierce battle like Hallan Kirkland, trying to break through in cultivation is tantamount to committing suicide.

Indra Peck was also shocked by Hallan Kirkland's situation, but he quickly reacted. If you don't seize the opportunity in front of you, you will inevitably fail miserably in the end, as you are now close to running out of gas.

Gritting his teeth, Indra Peck rushed out quickly before the referee could stop him, dragging his feet along the ground and bringing up a lot of smoke and dust. He mobilized the little spiritual energy he had and fiercely smashed it towards the sea of ​​​​Qi in Hallan Kirkland lower abdomen.

'Since you dare to break through at this time, no wonder I beat you back to your original disability. ' Indra Peck made up his mind and would not show any mercy. Once Qi Hai is destroyed, Hallan Kirkland will definitely turn back into the useless person he was before.

Hallan Kirkland was about to break through and couldn't move his body at all. He looked at the ferocious-looking Teng Xiang with cold eyes and hit him in the lower abdomen. After five years, he could only bite the bullet and cross his arms to protect the sea of ​​​​qi.

"stop"

"Bang"

The referee's shout sounded almost simultaneously with the sound of fists and arms clashing. Indra Peck's figure swayed back amid the smoke and dust, but Hallan Kirkland still stood motionless on the spot.

After two short breaths, the smoke slowly drifted away with the breeze. Hallan Kirkland opened his eyes, his cheeks were slightly red, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

All the spiritual energy from the previous attack helped him quickly break through the barrier and reach the fourth level of the physical strength stage. But it was also because he was disturbed at this critical moment. At this time, his meridians were still twitching and shaking, causing bursts of pain.

Hallan Kirkland looked at the dull-looking Indra Peck opposite him with cold eyes, reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

"Have you beaten enough? Are you satisfied?"

As he finished speaking, Hallan Kirkland's body moved. It was not as imposing as Indra Peck, but he walked forward leisurely and leisurely.

At this time, everyone around him was completely in shock. They could understand Hallan Kirkland's recovery of cultivation, but his ability to break through in the competition was completely beyond their understanding.

Even the referee who had just loudly stopped him was now completely stunned.

"Stop, stop. The referee has already said stop."

Hallan Kirkland ignored his words at all, with a warm smile on his face. He raised his right fist slightly and stretched it forward slowly. His right fist, which seemed to have no strength, hit Fuji's front door.

With a crisp sound of fracture, Indra Peck hit his face with his twisted arm. The huge force caused him to fall backwards, and finally fell to the ground due to his unstable center of gravity. The force did not subside and he rolled several times on the ground before stopping the momentum.

A gasping "hissing" sound was heard all around. Who would have thought that the young man who had cultivated to full strength a year ago could suddenly recover. It was even more unexpected that this young man could rise to a higher level in battle. And looking at the power of this punch, it even has the destructive power of level seven or eight in the physical strength stage.

As if Hallan Kirkland had done something insignificant, he walked slowly towards the sidelines, and the crowd automatically moved to both sides to make way. The square with hundreds of people was silent. No boy would be stupid enough to challenge Hallan Kirkland, and just watched Hallan Kirkland leave the square.

At the edge of the pool below the waterfall, Hallan Kirkland, dressed in black, was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Four hours had passed since the battle in the morning. Hallan Kirkland did not stay in the village longer, but came here immediately.

Hallan Kirkland's injury caused by external interference during the breakthrough was much more serious than he expected. Fortunately, the strange bulge on his chest fluctuated again. This time the fluctuation did not improve his strength, but it had a strong healing effect. If it had been anyone else, it would have left hidden dangers that could never be recovered.

A small mouthful of purple-black blood was spat out by Zuo Feng. His face turned pale for a while, and then gradually became rosy. This purple-black blood was disturbed by Indra Peck during the breakthrough, and remained after the meridians were damaged.

When Hallan Kirkland eyes, which had been closed for a long time, were opened again, he had already made up his mind that he would never dare to try to break through in battle again. The pain and danger involved are really not enough to be explained to outsiders.

Looking slightly to the side, the waterfall about five feet wide hung high on the cliff like a silver curtain. He chose to adjust his breath and recover here in order to explore the cave behind the waterfall as soon as possible.

Although Japheth Peck had asked him not to come here again, he also told him to dispose of the items in the cave by himself. Hallan Kirkland is not coveting the items inside, but it may involve his own strange changes. Hallan Kirkland will not be reconciled until he finds out clearly.

He tried many times below the waterfall, but the slippery mountain wall and dense moss made it impossible for him to climb. In the end, he had to choose to hang a rattan rope from the top of the waterfall.

When Hallan Kirkland's thin body entered the cave against the torrent of the waterfall, his whole body immediately collapsed. Even with his current level 4 strength, he was still nearly hit by the current and fell into the pool below many times.

After lying on his back and panting for a long time, Hallan Kirkland sat up and looked around. The cave is not very deep, and visually it only looks three or four inches deep. Although the red sun is setting outside at this time, the orange light can clearly see everything in the cave through the water curtain.

The cave is so small that you can see it all at a glance. It is empty and there are no items stored in it. Hallan Kirkland poked his head out of the cave with some confusion and searched around on the mountain wall. After confirming that there was only one cave on the mountain wall, he retreated with some disappointment.

'Could it be that the thing the master mentioned does not exist, or has it been taken away long ago? 'These two thoughts flashed through Hallan Kirkland's mind, but he quickly shook his head to deny his guess. The master is by no means the kind of person who makes random guesses. This cave is so secretive that it would be difficult to discover its existence without someone pointing it out.

Hallan Kirkland carefully searched the cave several times and made sure that there were no secret compartments at all, and then he prepared to leave with an ugly face.

But just when he walked to the entrance of the cave and was about to leave, the mountain wall at the entrance caught his attention.

When he was about to leave, he pressed his hand on the mountain wall, and a trace of warmth came from the place where his palm touched. With this discovery, he observed carefully and was surprised to find that the stone was artificially embedded into the mountain wall.

'When people come to a cave like this, they will first carefully explore the inside of the cave, but they will ignore the entrance of the cave. "When Hallan Kirkland thought of this, he couldn't help but admire Japheth Peck's wit.

With this discovery, Hallan Kirkland immediately became energetic again. This time he had a clear goal, and soon he found the gap in the stone embedded in it. Carefully insert the knife into the crack of the stone, and it took nearly half an hour to dig out the stone.

What Hallan Kirkland didn't expect was that the stone pier was actually heavier than an iron block of the same size. Hallan Kirkland struggled to put the stone pier aside. After groping for a while in the square hole, when he withdrew his hand, he was sure that except for two books, there was nothing else inside.

Hallan Kirkland frowned, "Could it be that the items the master mentioned were the two books in his hand." 'I casually flipped through the book in my hand, and found a martial art called "Going Against the Wind". The other is a palm martial art called "Yunlang Palm".

Although it was only a cursory glance, Hallan Kirkland could already tell that these two martial arts books were extraordinary, but no matter how extraordinary these two books were, they should not have anything to do with his own strange changes.

After thinking for a long time, Hallan Kirkland's eyes finally fell on the square stone pier on the ground.

'It seems that the problem may have something to do with this stone pier that emits warm breath. An hour passed and Hallan Kirkland sat on the ground dejectedly. Although he possesses the strength of the fourth level of the physical strength stage, he is unable to do anything against this stone pier. At this moment, he tried smashing it with his fists and hacking it with a knife, but he was unable to leave even a trace on the stone pier.

'The stone pier is neither gold nor jade, nor any ordinary stone. To be able to shape such a strange object into a neat square shape, the person who shaped it must be very skilled. ' Hallan Kirkland can at least be sure that even Master Japheth Peck will never be able to do it.

At this time, the sun has long disappeared, and only the silvery white moonlight comes through the waterfall. Hallan Kirkland sighed deeply at the stone pier in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he still laboriously inserted the stone pier into the hole in the cave wall again.

If it's not that I don't have enough cultivation, it's because I haven't found the method to open this stone pier. Although he gave up studying the stone pier for the time being, Hallan Kirkland felt that the bulge on his chest must have some connection with the stone pier. Because every time he presses his palm on the stone pier, there will be fluctuations in his chest immediately.

'It seems that the only way to solve the mystery of this stone pier is to wait until the cultivation level improves in the future. Fortunately, I can at least be sure that my wonderful experiences are indeed related to this stone pier. Hallan Kirkland climbed down the long vines outside the cave. When he jumped into the pool, he suddenly remembered that he still had the two important martial arts books in his arms. Zuo Feng quickly climbed ashore and took out the book. What shocked Hallan Kirkland was that the handwriting on the book was as clear as before.

Looking blankly at the two books in his hands, Hallan Kirkland had only one thought in his mind, 'These two books on martial arts are by no means simple.'
