The True Martial Wolrd

chapter 22

Early in the morning when the sun was shining and fog was rising from the forest

The vast ancient wilderness welcomed a new day.

By stopping picking potions, Jiang Xiaorou was preparing breakfast while Yi Yun was chopping wood in the courtyard.

He did not use an axe, but cut it with his bare hands!

Sir! A loud bang was clearly heard. A clean cut separates the firewood in half.

Yi Yun looked at the two pieces of firewood and said to himself, ’Dragon Rib’ Tiger Bone Box when mastered can break the tree trunk into chopstick-like objects with bare hands in less than a minute. If I train for three more months, I wonder if I will reach that point.

Yi Yun was deep in thought when he heard a noisy commotion from afar.

Listening attentively, Yi Yun heard Zhao Tiezhu's voice: People from the Lian tribal clan! Listen carefully! The patriarch had issued an order to recruit ten strong men to repair the desolate bones. Those interested can sign up. They will be accepted based on merit!

Oh? Recruiting ten strong men to repair the desolate bones?

Yi Yun had a thought. He had been thinking about the illness the villagers had suffered from for purifying the desolate bones over the past few days.

A large number of sick people cured with “medicine mirac”.

There must be something wrong for them to recruit new strongmen for refinement.

With that thought in mind, Yi Yun threw his firewood and headed to the wheat drying place in the village.

From a distance, Yi Yun could see Zhao Tiezhu standing up while shouting.

Many villagers were worried. The villagers responsible for the silent bone refinement had received many benefits. In addition to miracle drugs and bacon, they were also given food subsidies.

Due to his secluded bones, there was little food left in the Lian tribal clan. Being able to gather more food was what the villagers dreamed of.

I'll sign up!

I'll sign up too!

People rushed towards Zhao Tiezhu to sign up, afraid they were late to get in line.

I, Wang Dahu, am ready to repair those desolate bones! I'm a second-rate man!

A fat but yellow-faced man due to malnutrition stood in front of Zhao Tiezhu. He looked at Zhao Tiezhu with hope in his eyes

That Second Level male would barely succeed Zhao Tiezhu observing Wang Dahu with a picky gaze.

Zhao Tiezhu did not know that the refining process was fatal. It was a great secret in the Lian tribal clan, so to prevent the leaking of secrets, only a few members of the upper echelon of the Lian tribal clan knew.

The other members of the warrior preparation camp did not know that the desolate set of bones contained a fatal Frost Qi that would seep into their bodies and erode their lives before sealing their fate by causing them to die due to organ failure.

So Zhao Tiezhu regarded the refinement process as an incredible job.

Being authorized to choose people to do such an amazing job made Zhao Tiezhu complacent. The authority given to him made many people look at him with fawning gazes and compliments raining on him.

Zhao Tiezhu is very picky with people, Wang Dahu, you are standing to the side. You will be considered a substitute; it will be you if no one else is more suited.

Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's words, Wang Dahu was delighted. He thanked Zhao Tiezhu nonstop before standing by the side obediently.

“Oh? Liu Er, are you here to register as well? For people with weak legs, a gust of wind will get you going! You need to know, that to smooth the bones of the displaced requires You to cut firewood, start a fire, fan it every day from morning to night. Also the temperature around the cauldron was very high. Without enough fitness, you will instantly faint!

Zhao Tiezhu impatiently waved his hand to chase away the thin, dry Liu Er.

Lian Chengyu had put down the mission to choose the strong people. Choosing the weak is definitely undesirable.

One by one, the villagers rushed forward to register, but many were expelled while few stayed.

But, even if there was a problem, he had to investigate it himself.

Because the desolate bones were very important to Yi Yun.

With the Lian Clan Potion Mountain plucked, he needed a lot of energy and food for his training. Wheat porridge is not enough.

“Oh? That's you!” As Yi Yun was thinking about his next move, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

The voice was deep and soft, but Yi Yun's face changed the moment he heard it!

It's Lian Chengyu!

Isn't Lian Chengyu in isolation? Based on Zhao Tiezhu's words, he would be isolated for three months. Why did he leave early?

Yi Yun's initial plan was to surpass Lian Chengyu by the time he left isolation three months later. At that moment, he had nothing to fear for Lian Chengyu. But now, Yi Yun had only been practicing martial arts for seven days, and even if the Purple Crystal could defy fate, it was not, Yi Yun would not be able to defeat a tier five Mortal Blood Lian Chengyu who had been practicing martial arts for ten years.

Yi Yun thought carefully, he did not have a deep hatred for each other. The attempted assassination of Lian Chengyu might just be a matter of convenience. It was analogous to someone seeing a mouse in the house. That person would kill him, but if he missed, he would not tear down his walls to chase him to death.

Yi Yun turned around after calming his expression before meeting Lian Chengyu's eyes.

But upon seeing Lian Chengyu, he immediately showed fear, unsure of what he should do.

“Muda ... Young master Lian?”

Yi Yun took a few steps back, as if he was startled by Lian Chengyu's sudden appearance.

Lian Chengyu frowned; this child is not dead?

His original assassination attempt was indeed a matter of convenience. The main reason was the hatred he felt towards Yi Yun for him. Lian Chengyu was afraid that during the critical stage of the refining process, and the combination of food shortages and death would incite the villagers. Lian Chengyu was afraid that Yi Yun who could easily incite the villagers would cause a riot because of Yi Yun's hatred for himself.

Lian Chengyu pursued the highest standards of martial arts, to become someone who controlled millions of people. With this goal, he had the mentality of an emperor. Someone with Yi Yun stature could be ignored. To prevent potential danger; having Yi Yun die was no big deal. Lian Chengyu had killed many; after all the remote bone repair alone would cause many deaths.

Since killing Yi Yun was a small matter, Lian Chengyu did not take heart. He had previously not verified Yi Yun's fate. Only after he left his seclusion did he find Yi Yun alive, confusing him.

In order for the lowly poor man not to die under his own attack, what could happen? Are his own skills not enough?

“What are you doing here?” Lian Chengyu asked.

Answering Young Master, I heard that Master Zhao is recruiting strong people to repair the desolate bones. I also heard that we could get bacon, so I thought about trying.

“Oh?” Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Lian Chengyu's eyes burned with contempt. Yi Yun was only twelve years old, yet his words on the day of rationing were unlike a twelve year old child. He also had the ability to incite people to riot, making him an unstable factor in Lian Chengyu's calculations.

But now, Yi Yun looked like a child. What can people who only pay attention to bacon do?

Lian Chengyu could not be bothered with Yi Yun except for the mysterious failure to kill Yi Yun.

Since you want to repair the desolate bones, why don't you sign up? What are you doing out here?

To be honest with Young Master, Master Zhao only wanted people who were at least second-rate men, but to me

Yi Yun's voice shrank as soon as he said that. It was as if he was ashamed of his small strength, and could not say anything more.

Lian Chengyu's humiliation in his eyes became clearer. This idiot, to think I thought so much about it. That's right, he's only twelve years old, what kind of scheme could he have.

Lian Chengyu forgot that he was not that old either. He was only seventeen. Among the other seventeen-year-old children, he was the most worldly, but he was still too young. He could never dream that the twelve years in front of him had an adult soul.

Since you have the heart, and are willing to give your power to the Lian tribal clan, I will not forbid it. Seeing how ambitious you are, you are a person worthy of dressing up. I'll make an exception and give you a chance.

Lian Chengyu gave Yi Yun a few words “dukan”.

This retard could provide quite a bit of strength, even though he was a sickly child, his fitness was fine when using it to absorb Frost poison.
