Chapter 2: Time for Enlightenment

Although Shen Zhui was wary of Yang Wu's threat, he didn't take it seriously.

Today, Heyuan City can be roughly divided into two forces.

One is the county magistrate who is in charge of a county, commanding three squads and six tribes, and assisting the City God Temple. He has a thousand officers, hundreds of acquired warriors, and three innate warriors.

One is a wealthy family, mainly the Li and Yang families, who want money and strength, and there are more than ten innate warriors in the two families alone. Moreover, the clan ancestral hall suppresses luck, and cooperates with the officials who originally worked in Heyuan County and a number of small family vassals, which can be said to be extremely powerful.

To be a county magistrate in the past would be to collude with a wealthy family.

Otherwise, it is often difficult for government orders to leave the county seat if they are suppressed.

But it is different now. Since the arrival of the new county magistrate three years ago, he has been keeping quiet for the past two years.

But at the beginning of the third year, he suddenly rose!

Internally, he vigorously rectified government affairs and personnel, eliminated clan worms in the county government, appointed talented people, and expanded military force.

Externally, various small families attached to the Li Yang family were recruited, dispersed, and suppressed, causing the small families to turn to the county magistrate one after another. He even repeatedly frustrated the Li and Yang families.

Now, the power of the county magistrate is greater than that of the Li and Yang families! He has truly become the owner of the highest voice in Heyuan County!

The innate warrior has a lifespan of two hundred years. It has only been three years since the county magistrate took office. He can only be regarded as a new official, but he has achieved such results.

It is conceivable that it is only a matter of time before the Li and Yang families are dealt with.

This Yang Wu is an old man who worked in the county government office seven or eight years ago.

But he couldn't see the situation clearly, and relying on his relationship with the Li family, he still engaged in the tactic of forming cliques for personal gain, and extorting people's merchants under clever pretexts.

He had roped in Shen Zhui several times before, but would Shen Zhui follow him and seek death?

That's why Shen Zhui said that Yang Wu hugged the wrong thigh and would be dealt with sooner or later.

"But no matter what the situation is, my own strength is the foundation. If I break through to the level of an innate warrior, the county magistrate will give me three points of courtesy. I will become the object of fawning of all the major families and become a guest like a guest."

Shen Zhui thought silently in his heart that this world was different from his previous life, where the jungle was strong and the hierarchy was strict.

The city, which is as safe as if it is protected by gods and dharma, is also full of intrigues and intrigues.

Not to mention that outside the city, there are demons, monsters, warriors and thugs, and there are even more dangers.

"The system converts all good deeds into 'enlightenment' time."

"The 'enlightenment' time is one second for 100 good deeds. The remaining good deeds can be exchanged for 31 seconds of enlightenment time. Do you want to redeem it?"

"31 seconds, I don't know if it will be enough for my body skills to enter the realm of Dacheng..." Shen Zhui thought for a while, picked up the iron ruler, and came to a bamboo forest behind the county government office.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a training ground.

As soon as he entered the training ground, he saw several colleagues from Class 3 and Department 6 greeting him.

"Shen Zhui, are you here?"

"Tsk tsk, Shen Zhui, you really work hard."

"Shen Zhui, are you coming to break into the Plum Blossom Formation again?"

One of them, a middle-aged man wearing black training uniform, saw Shen Zhui approaching and said hello with a smile.

"Shen Zhui, the mission is completed?"

"Well, Brother Hu, we just finished." Shen Zhui nodded with a smile.

This man's name is Zhao Hu. Together with Shen Zhui, he belongs to the "Wu Ban" class room of the Heyuan County government office. He is an acquired martial artist of the eighth level!

This strength is also at the forefront among a group of acquired masters in the martial arts class. However, his physical skills are a bit lacking, otherwise his ranking would be even higher.

Zhao Hu laughed: "Not bad."

He really thinks Shen Zhui is good.

There are only a few dozen Xiantian warriors in the entire Heyuan County, with a population of over one million.

Generally speaking, they are the guest-like presence among the major clans and wealthy families. They do not take action easily and are rare to see.

Even under the command of the County Lord, there are only two or three innate warriors.

The most common ones are acquired warriors.

Although Shen Zhui is a seventh-level acquired warrior, his combat power can kill an acquired eighth-level warrior!

What's even more rare is that he is only seventeen years old! The future is bright!

Of course, Zhao Hu didn't know that Shen Zhui had only been practicing martial arts for three years, otherwise he would have been even more amazed!

"Thanks to Brother Hu for taking care of me." Shen Zhui said respectfully.

"Okay, don't be polite. There is no one in the Plum Blossom Array, so you can go. After you finish breaking in, I still have something to talk to you about."

"You want to see me?" Shen Zhui was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you Brother Hu, I'll go in first."

………………

Training venue, in front of the Plum Blossom Formation.

Shen Zhui closed his eyes and took a deep breath to slow down his heartbeat.

"Okay, redeem now!"

"The exchange is successful, the 31 seconds of enlightenment time begins! Countdown to 30, 29, 28..."

The countdown in his mind had just started when Shen Zhui opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up and jumped onto the first wooden stake in the plum blossom array!

The wooden stake was only as thick as an arm, and its contact surface was at its limit, only able to accommodate a foot.

And once the Plum Blossom Formation is in operation, each wooden pile becomes a 'living pile'.

"Zhizhizhi~" "Kakakaka~"

The devices under the floor are moving delicately, and the wooden piles on the ground are swaying back and forth, up and down, or left and right...

When Shen Zhui stepped on the first wooden pile, the wooden pile sank quickly!

From the moment the trainer steps into the Plum Blossom Formation, he must make a choice in a very short time and judge and analyze where to step next.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Shen Zhui was like a light and powerful mountain goat, jumping on the cliff and moving quickly forward on each movable wooden stake.

At this moment, he was not focused on anything else, and he was using his body technique "Flowing Cloud Step" to his heart's content!

"The purpose of seeing and doing is to gain enlightenment! During the time of enlightenment, I can quickly discover all my shortcomings in the past and correct them quickly!"

At this moment, Shen Zhui felt that his mind had never been clearer before!

In the past, it was not called waking up, it could only be said to be awake, but now that it has entered the time of ‘enlightenment’, it is immediately different!

The movement technique "Flowing Cloud Step" was continuously improved, and after a while, Shen Zhui crossed a distance of a hundred meters.

"Kakaka~"

Each wooden pile rotated rapidly. As he continued to advance, the distance between the wooden piles became farther and farther, and their positions changed more and more frequently...

However, Shen Zhui seemed to have eyes all over his body, stepping on the wooden stakes accurately with every step.

Sometimes, when others watched Shen Zhui step out, the wooden stake was obviously still far away, but when Shen Zhui's body arrived, the wooden stake seemed to be sent to Shen Zhui's feet by itself as if it had a spirit.

"The Plum Blossom Formation is a wonderful arrangement for testing and training body skills. It is a thousand meters long!"

"After walking two hundred and fifty meters, your body skills will be considered a small success!"

"If you exceed five hundred meters, your body skills will be considered perfect!"

"If you can complete the one-thousand-meter plum blossom formation, your body skills will have reached perfection!"

"Even warriors at the innate realm may not be able to completely pass this plum blossom formation, and I don't know how far Shen Zhui can go."

There were many people observing at the training ground, and they were all talking about it.

Shen Zhui is somewhat famous among the more than 100 acquired warriors in the county government.

First, because of my young age.

Secondly, his combat power is not bad, he is a seventh-level acquired warrior, but he can kill an acquired eighth-level warrior, and he is extremely enthusiastic in handling cases and arrests. The prisoners he captured alone were more powerful than some old men who had been working for seven or eight years.

So, a lot of people are paying attention.

Shen Zhui concentrated on performing his movements and was immersed in his understanding of the movements.

"No, no, my right foot was not strong enough before!"

"For this jump, I should have only used 70% of my strength, but before I used 100% of my strength. Wrong!"

"I see, although this "Flowing Cloud Step" is moved by both feet, the upper half of the body will also affect the balance point..."

"Before, here...it wasn't right!"

"wrong!"

"Faster!"

"..."

…………

Time passed quickly, Shen Zhui was immersed in the constant correction and correction of his body skills, and he easily crossed the distance of more than 400 meters.

This feeling is very strange. In the past, when I was training in body movements, I felt something was wrong, but now it suddenly dawned on me. Every time I took a step, I corrected my previous mistakes as if instinctively.

The knowledge of seeing and doing is for enlightenment!

In this state, the warrior can clearly understand the shortcomings of his own behavior, and his consciousness is extremely focused! This is the peak state that a warrior can only meet but cannot seek!

happy!

Comfortable!

However, when he reached 470 meters, the speed of the plum blossom array's wooden piles also reached an extremely fast speed.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak~"

The wooden piles moved crazily, making sharp friction sounds!

"Warning, there are still eight, seven, six,..." in the countdown.

"Three, two, one, this time of enlightenment is over."

The moment the countdown ends——

"Um?!"

Shen Zhui immediately broke away from that state of enlightenment, and the next second!

Missed the mark!

"Bang!"

His body lost balance and suddenly fell from mid-air to the ground.

As he fell to the ground, the entire plum blossom formation came to an abrupt halt, and all the wooden piles suddenly stood still.

"Grandma, Shen Zhui! You've improved compared to last time! You've reached the Dacheng realm faster! Not bad, not bad!" Zhao Hu ran over and looked at the place where Shen Zhui landed in surprise.

Shen Zhui stood up from the ground and looked at the sign not far away.

"Four hundred and eighty-two meters! The success of Li Shen Dharma is still a little short of it!"

But Shen Zhui was not very happy.

Body skills and martial arts are divided into entry level, small level level, great level level and perfect level!

Each level represents the warrior's control over himself and his weapons.

Just like the acquired warriors are divided into nine levels, each level increases the strength by a hundred kilograms.

A warrior of the ninth level acquired the day after tomorrow should have a strength of 900 kilograms.

But in actual combat, it may not be able to be used. This is because the degree of control is not enough.

He has entered this plum blossom formation many times before, and his last result was 433 meters. It has long exceeded the level of Xiaocheng.

I originally thought that with the time of enlightenment exchanged for more than 3,000 good deeds, I could upgrade the body technique "Flowing Cloud Step" to the state of great success.

But I didn't expect that it was still a little bit close.

"Unfortunately, this 'enlightenment' time is still too short. The effect is not as strong as the 'enlightenment' time. It would be great if these 31 seconds were the 'enlightenment' time."

The good deeds of the punishment system can be redeemed for "enlightenment time", and there are several levels!

"Understand the time clearly", see and understand, 100 good deeds can be exchanged for one second!

One level up...

"Enlightenment Time", the Dharma is demonstrated and preached, and 1,000 good deeds can be exchanged for one second!

The effect is completely different!

"Previously, I only had twenty seconds of enlightenment to break through the window paper of the Dacheng Realm of "The Nine Levels of the Iron Ruler". Find the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com"

"But the exchange for this 'enlightenment' time is too expensive."

In twenty seconds, 20,000 good deeds were consumed, which Shen Zhui had accumulated for more than half a year.

Moreover, he was lucky. Once, he followed Wang Long, the leader of the martial arts squad, a congenital warrior, and participated in a murder case of hunting down a congenital warrior.

"For an innate warrior, the base number for good deeds is at least 2."

"That time, Wang Long, the leader of the squad, held the 'kill' order given by the county. More than twenty people surrounded and killed the innate warrior who had committed the most heinous crimes."

"Beheadings will be calculated based on the remaining life span!"

"Although I didn't do the killing, I just participated in the encirclement and suppression and assisted from the side. Afterwards, the system judged that I had done 3,000 good deeds!"

………………

Shen Zhui was in a daze, but Zhao Hu came up and punched him, laughing and scolding:

"You kid, you have made such great progress and still look like you're dead. You're really going to piss me off."

He, Zhao Hu, has been practicing for ten years, and his body skills are still far away from the Dacheng state. But how old Shen Zhui is, he is already ahead of him, yet he still looks dissatisfied!

"Brother Hu, thank you for that." Shen Zhui grinned and walked out from the plum blossom formation.

"By the way, Brother Hu, you just said you have something to do with me?" Liangting said, the two of them were talking as they walked.

"Haha, I wanted to tell you just now, because I was afraid it would affect your ability to enter the formation..."

"Shen Zhui, congratulations. The county magistrate and the team leader have decided to raise your salary to the ninth level!"

"You have to treat me to a drink. This is equivalent to the treatment of a ninth-level warrior the day after tomorrow!"

"Ninth level?" Shen Zhui was confused by this sudden surprise.

"Let's go see the county magistrate and Team Leader Wang."
