Starting from the border troops, I've worked my way up to become a Martial Emperor.

Chapter 53 2 Days

Before he knew it, it got dark. When Lu Yuan opened his eyes, he felt refreshed.

In addition, a lot of dirt was expelled from the body.

Take off your clothes, pour the boiled water into the wooden tub, and prepare to take a bath.

A moment later, Lu Yuan lay in the bathtub, a satisfied look on his face.

Then, the system space was opened.

[Third-Rank Kung Fu Technique: Tiger Subduing Stance for Tendon Strengthening (1271/30000 Perfected)]

"One Profound Tendon Pill can increase proficiency by one thousand. If you take more than thirty of them, you should be able to enter the Fusion God stage. At that time, you can directly take the Dragon Tendon Pill and enter the Refining stage without any problems."

Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

In a month at most, he will be able to refine the filth.

At that time, he will be a centurion.

He also firmly established himself in Icefield City and rose to a high-ranking position.

After washing himself clean, Lu Yuan continued practicing other martial arts techniques.

In short, he will not miss any opportunity to cultivate whenever he has free time.

Everything else is merely external; only strength truly belongs to oneself.

Meanwhile, Zhang Zhe, who was in Huangsha Pass, was lying in bed after receiving fifty lashes, his face filled with barely concealed anger.

He had never suffered such injustice in his entire life.

"Ouch! Are you looking for death? Couldn't you be a little gentler?"

He turned to the maid who was applying medicine and unleashed a furious outburst of impotence.

Sitting to the side, Bai Hong said softly to Zhang Zhe, "Zhe, no one expected this. It's not your fault. Who could have known that Lu Yuan of Icefield Fortress City would be so powerful that he actually wiped out a Silver Arm Iron Falcon?"

This kind of person already shows signs of becoming a great general. You don't need to compare yourself to him; just focus on doing your best, and becoming a general in the future shouldn't be a problem.

"I didn't mean to compete with him, but the Helian family went too far. Not only did they beat me, but they also made me patrol the wasteland outside the city tomorrow. Aren't they trying to kill me?"

"In our current state, we can't even get on horseback, how are we going to get out of the city!" Zhang Zhe roared in a low voice.

When has he ever been treated like this?

"Bear with it. I've been communicating with my family. As long as you endure a year and kill some ordinary northern barbarian scouts, we'll have successfully completed our 'gilding' process, and then we can go straight back to Yunzhou."

Bai Hong continued to comfort Zhang Zhe, feeling a pang of sympathy for him. What could he do when he encountered a once-in-a-century military prodigy?

Now, after two days of fermentation, Lu Yuan's matter has become famous in all the major fortified cities.

The main reason is that when he returned, several of the city's garrison commanders saw him.

It's hard not to become famous.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, "If I had such a disciple, I could die in peace right now."

Then, Bai Hong seemed to have thought of something and took out a letter: "This was sent by your men. It should contain news about A Yuan."

What are you planning to do?

"Of course I'll kill him. Isn't the son of the General of Yunzhou looking for him? He hasn't found him after so long. This time I'll kill A Yuan and take his head back. The son of the General of Yunzhou should finally be satisfied."

As Zhang Zhe spoke, he tore open the letter.

However, upon seeing the above content, his pupils instantly contracted.

The muscles in his face were twitching, but because he was looking down, Bai Hong didn't notice.

Zhang Zhe's already bloodshot eyes were now filled with blood vessels.

His hands, holding the letter, were trembling.

Seeing his strange expression, Bai Hong asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

Zhang Zhe seemed to be startled by the sound, and discreetly put the letter away, then forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, we haven't found the person yet."

However, at this moment, he was furious. According to the letter, the Zhang Yuan he had been looking for was actually Lu Yuan, who had killed Iron Falcon and made a name for himself in the Northern Frontier.

This guy changed his name; no wonder I couldn't find him.

That's why he hid the letter; this news must not be leaked.

Otherwise, the family members and Bai Hong's ideas might change.

He knew all too well his uncle's desire to extend his influence into the military; it was almost pathological.

If they knew about Lu Yuan's behavior.

He couldn't even imagine how crazy the other person would be.

Another example is Bai Hong, whose lifelong belief is to cultivate a general, while Lu Yuan has undoubtedly already boarded the fast track to becoming a general.

If things had developed normally, he would have been no match for Lu Yuan at all.

Therefore, Zhang Zhe felt an unprecedented sense of crisis and fear.

After calming down for a moment, she looked up at Bai Hong and said, "Sir, I have nothing to do here. You can go back first. We'll leave the city early tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, his fists, pressed against his chest, trembled violently from the force he exerted.

I don't know when, but I was already covered in a cold sweat.

However, since he was injured, Bai Hong assumed that he was in pain and therefore did not suspect anything. Instead, he said, "Young Master, please rest. I will go back now."

As he spoke, Bai Hong left.

When Zhang Zhe was the only one in the room.

"Bang!"

He threw the things that were on the bed onto the floor.

He knew that he could no longer kill his cousin, and now the most important thing was to do everything he could to surpass him.

Otherwise, how could they gain the support of their family?

This matter, in particular, must be kept secret.

However, at the same time, a sense of confusion arose in his heart. He knew his own situation. Although he had some talent, he was far from capable of killing Iron Falcon.

"What should I do!" he muttered to himself.

Then, the woman he had met earlier in the day came to mind; perhaps she could help him.

But then he shook his head violently.

He was, after all, the eldest son of the Zhang family; it was absolutely impossible for him to become a plaything of such a woman.

At this time, Lu Yuan was unaware of all this, and in the following days, he devoted himself to cultivation.

We strive to take it a step further.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days have passed.

These days, Lu Yuan can be said to be very comfortable. Every day at noon, he eats at Zhou Hongling's new general's mansion, and the various medicinal dishes are almost different each time.

Every day, there are several soups that are very beneficial for strengthening muscles and tendons.

Moreover, they often ate together, which led to Lu Yuan and Zhou Hongling becoming increasingly familiar with each other.

Sometimes, they even dare to make jokes.

However, the other party didn't mind, and was quite tolerant of Lu Yuan, considering that the two of them were together.

In the evening, they would go to Xiao Hua's house for dinner.

Knowing that he was too lazy to cook, Xiao Hua and her daughter invited him to their home for meals in the future, so that Lu Yuan wouldn't have to cook for himself and wouldn't eat well every day.

He didn't stand on ceremony and immediately agreed, but he bought a large amount of ingredients.

After all, Lu Yuan has a big appetite, and if Xiao Hua were to cook for him, she wouldn't be able to support him.

Therefore, these twenty-odd days can be said to be the most pleasant period of Lu Yuan's life.

On this day, after returning home from dinner, he felt a sense of fullness throughout his body, and he knew that he was about to break through.

Therefore, without hesitation, I opened the system panel directly.
