C16 Reentry

Ouyang Chen, who had not slept for the entire night, slowly opened his eyes. There was no joy in his eyes, the usual feeling of having his cultivation level rise after training.

His brows were deeply furrowed, and he was deeply puzzled in his heart.

"It's clear that he had already reached the peak of the third level over ten days ago. However, over the following ten days of hard work, he did not manage to increase the amount of elemental energy in my dantian by even a single bit …" "Looks like I've encountered a bottleneck …"

After coming to this conclusion, Ouyang Chen slowly sighed. He did not feel dejected at all. The journey of cultivation would definitely not be smooth sailing. These difficulties would not be too difficult for Ouyang Chen.

"It seems like the third to fourth level of the Blue Luan Technique is a hurdle. It hasn't been worth it for a long time." I can't break through by staying at home and cultivating … Maybe I should go out and have a look! " Ouyang Chen pondered.

"Here, have some more of this, Chen'er!" At the dining table, Yu Feng once again prepared another large piece of meat for Ouyang Chen.

"Mom, I can't even eat anymore …" Ouyang Chen looked at the mountain of dishes in the bowl in front of him and felt a little helpless. Before this, he had already finished all three bowls of rice.

"Child, where did you get such good food after entering the mountain …" "In the past, your Uncle Zhang and the others were still there to take care of you, but this time …" As she spoke, Yu Feng's eyes began to fill with tears.

Looking at his mother's gray hair, Ouyang Chen could not bear to part with it. After all, his mortal body could not withstand the corrosion of time. His mother had long since lost her former brilliance, and her face was covered in wrinkles.

In the morning, after his parents had woken up, Ouyang Chen said that he wanted to go into the mountains by himself. Dazhu and Yufen obviously disagreed, but after hearing their son say that he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and needed to go out and temper himself, they didn't stop him.

Yufen went into the kitchen without a word, took out all the best and most tender meat in the house and cooked a few big dishes.

"Mom, don't be sad, it's not like I'm not coming back. Moreover, I am a warrior now, so there will be no danger if I enter the mountain. "

In order to comfort his mother, Ouyang Chen showed off his identity as a martial artist for once. As he spoke, he waved his fist, bringing about bursts of fist wind.

"You, even if a martial artist enters the mountains, you still can't be careless, right? "In the mountains, I don't know where there will be danger …" Yu Feng couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ouyang Chen's proud expression, but she still carefully instructed him.

"Don't worry mom, I will take good care of myself. Stay at home with dad and wait for my good news."

It was already the end of March and the end of April. Although it was still a bit cold in the future, Ouyang Chen who was already at the peak of body refining third level naturally didn't care about this tiny bit of coldness.

He was wearing only a thin shirt and carrying a bag that was a lot bigger than usual. In his hand was the sword that his father had given him as he walked out of the house.

"Dad, mom, wait for me to come back!" Ouyang Chen turned back to look at his father and mother standing at the doorway. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes as he turned around and left in large strides.

"Let's go in, Chen'er has already left." After watching Ouyang Chen disappear into the distance, Dazhu finally spoke to Yufen.

"Un …" Yufen wiped her tears once more before turning away, unwilling to leave. A thousand miles was nothing to worry about. No mother would be able to remain calm at this time.

As noon approached, Ouyang Chen had already entered the hunting grounds. There weren't many wild beasts in this area, and the fiercest one was the porcupine. No, it was the mutated porcupine.

However, even if it was a mutated porcupine, Ouyang Chen was currently not a threat. He could have killed one a month ago, not to mention now. One must know that a month ago, he had just entered the early stages of the Third Stage of Body Refinement.

"Hehe, good luck. "Today's lunch will be for you …" Noticing a fox rabbit in front of him, Ouyang Chen was a little excited. It was impossible to say how delicious the fox rabbit's meat was!

The fox rabbit didn't have any other abilities. It only had two main skills, but these two abilities made it very difficult to catch.

The first was that it was extremely fast and very agile. The other was that this little thing was very good at hiding itself. If you let it hide itself, you wouldn't be able to find it again. Unless he's got a cramp in his head and jumps out for you to scratch.

With these two skills, it could be said that fox-rabbit would be extremely difficult to catch. That was why Ouyang Chen and the others had set up traps every time they caught a fox rabbit. Or rather, they had used their arrows to shoot an arrow in the distance.

However, they rarely chose the latter because that way, the fox rabbit's fur would be damaged and wouldn't be able to sell for a good price.

Seeing the fox-rabbit greedily chewing on the new grass not far away, Ouyang Chen also wanted to test how fast he was right now.

He took a few steps forward slowly, aimed at the opportunity, and stomped his feet on the ground. Ouyang Chen was like an arrow that left its bowstring, shooting straight towards the fox rabbit.

Just as Ouyang Chen's figure flew to the side of the fox rabbit, the gluttonous little fellow finally realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape, but it was too late.

With a bend and a swipe of his hand, Ouyang Chen grabbed the back of the fox rabbit's neck and pulled it up.

"Haha, I've caught you …" This was the first time that Ouyang Chen had grabbed a fox rabbit without borrowing any tools. He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Although the fox rabbit was fast, that was only for ordinary people. Right now, Ouyang Chen felt that with his current speed, it would not be a problem at all for him to catch up to the fox rabbit who was running at full speed.

After the small excitement passed, Ouyang Chen looked at the little thing in his hand, a deep sadness appearing in his eyes. This was the second time he had caught a live fox rabbit in his hands. The last time, it was Tie Zhu who caught a little fox rabbit for him to play with.

"Brother Tie Zhu, you won't have to wait too long. When I become stronger, I will definitely avenge you." Let that damned bastard go down there to accompany you! Right now, I am still too weak, and am not a match for the Li Clan. " After becoming a martial artist, Ouyang Chen had more than once wanted to go to the town and seek revenge on the Third Young Master of the Li family, but he had resisted in the end.

He had heard news about the Li family from Bao`er's father. Coupled with what Qin Feng said at the time, he knew that a mere body refining third level martial artist like him didn't have the qualifications to go up against the head of the Four Great Families of Bluestone Town. The Li family's Patriarch was a peak body refining seventh level expert.

Right now, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow from the other party. With just a single exchange, if he didn't die, then he would be severely injured! If he went to the Li family for revenge now, it wouldn't be bravery, but courting death.

"Too weak …"

Thinking of this, Ouyang Chen no longer had the mood to play around with the fox rabbit in his hands. He directly broke its neck, tidied it up, and prepared to eat lunch.

He had done the grilling a few times before, but he wasn't the least bit unfamiliar with it. Ouyang Chen lit a fire and put on a branch to clean the fox bunny. He then unwrapped the bundles and spread some of the seasonings his mother had prepared before he left.

Done. The next step was to slowly flip and wait.
