After hanging up the phone, Ding Ning saw a dozen missed calls from Luoxue and quickly called her back, explaining to her apologetically.

Luoxue tensed up about Ding Ning's physical condition and found out that he was just out of strength, so she felt relieved and said that she would rush over to accompany him right away.

Ding Ning thought for a while and asked her not to come over for the time being. He was fine except for being a little weak. He would be discharged from the hospital as soon as he got the jade sculpture.

Luoxue immediately said that she would go buy groceries right away and give Ding Ning a good supplement. After a while, she kissed me again and then reluctantly hung up the phone.

Xiahou came very quickly. After getting the glass seed, Ding Ning was about to leave the hospital immediately after eating the love breakfast specially sent by her sister. Xiahou was embarrassed and had to call Ding Qianlie for instructions, but Ding Qianlie firmly refused to approve.

In desperation, Ding Ning answered the phone and started a verbal argument with her. In the end, he used the righteous slogan of saving all mankind before reluctantly getting approval, but the condition was that Xia Hou must be allowed to protect him personally, because he was very weak now.

, has no ability to protect itself.

This made Ding Ning smile bitterly. When he had no relatives, he always longed for someone to care about him. Now that he has a sister to care about him, he felt that it was troublesome again. Human beings are really born with a base nature.

But then I thought about it, he is indeed weak now. If he encounters the invisible black-robed mask and those ancient warriors who are obsessed with the "Lingbao", he really has no ability to protect himself. With Xiahou's personal protection

Although it may not be possible to sit back and relax, it can at least make these guys fearful.

In fact, Ding Ning had always been curious about the level of Xia Hou's skills. On the way back to Ning University, the two started a discussion about martial arts.

When Xia Hou, who had always been taciturn, talked about the realm of martial arts, his eyes suddenly shone like a different person, and he was eloquent, with endless things to say.

Although Xiahou is not an ancient martial artist, he has a very clear understanding of the modern martial arts system and the ancient martial arts system. From his words, Ding Ning also solved many mysteries that confused him.

For example, Ding Ning still doesn't know which realm of ancient warriors the grandmaster in the modern warrior system corresponds to?

Second Master said last time that only a master can understand the potential. He understood the potential when he first entered the Earth Martial Realm. Logically speaking, the Earth Martial Realm should correspond to the Grand Master Realm.

But he felt from Xiahou's true energy flow and blood that this grandmaster was ridiculously strong, stronger than the giant dwarfs at the peak of earth martial arts, which made him confused.

Xiahou explained his doubts before he understood that Shi is something that varies from person to person. Some ancient warriors can understand Shi when they first step into the Earth Martial Arts, and some can only understand Shi when they reach the peak of Earth Martial Arts. It cannot be used as a weapon.

A measure of entering the Earth Martial Realm.

But for modern warriors, understanding the potential is the criterion for entering the realm of a master. After all, ancient warriors have the training inheritance of their predecessors, and the understanding of the potential occupies a unique advantage.

Ancient warriors had endless training methods, and their martial arts were even more diverse. The combat power levels of the same level were also very different, which was completely different from the single training method of the modern warrior system.

If one had to equate the cultivation realm of ancient warriors with the master realm, Xiahou believed that the Tianwu realm was considered to be the master realm.

He also had his reasons for saying this. The passage of an ancient warrior from the Earth Martial Realm to the Heavenly Martial Realm is a process in which the true energy in the body is converted into spiritual power. It is said to reach the sky in one step, and is a sign that an acquired warrior enters an innate warrior.

The transformation of a modern warrior from a Hua Jin'er warrior to a master is a process in which the true energy in the body is transformed into Gang energy. It is also a sign that an acquired warrior becomes an innate warrior, and is known as a reborn warrior.

In Xia Hou's view, the road leads to the same goal. Ancient warriors have great advantages over modern warriors when they are acquired warriors. But after both become innate warriors, they will stand on the same starting line. Ancient warriors

The early advantage will be lost.

To put it bluntly, ancient warriors and modern warriors are equivalent to two completely different cultivation systems. They are essentially different, but they have their own advantages.

The advantage of ancient warriors is that they have the inheritance of their predecessors. As long as they have good qualifications and talents, plus sufficient training resources, and practice step by step, they can practice to an extremely high level.

The disadvantage is that it is highly dependent on the environment. In the end of the Dharma era when spiritual energy is thin, it is difficult to practice to a high level without a powerful force providing sufficient training resources. Therefore, the most powerful people in the ancient martial arts world are generally the children of big forces.

If casual cultivators do not have great opportunities, it is generally difficult for them to compete with the disciples of big forces in terms of strength. This is why once cultivation resources are released, the ancient warriors will disown their relatives and fight for them even to the death. As a result, there is no order at all in the ancient martial arts world.

, it is completely the law of the jungle where the jungle prevails.

The advantage of the modern warrior system is that it is not too dependent on the environment and training resources. As long as you are willing to work hard, study hard, and have a similar understanding, success in training is basically a certainty.

The disadvantage is that there is no previous experience to draw from. It is completely blind and the elephant has to be explored by oneself. The requirements for cultivation talent are not too high, but perseverance and understanding are more important.

To put it simply, the biggest difference between the two is that the ancient warriors are based on heaven and earth, and practice is to absorb the power of heaven and earth to form a cycle to temper one's body, which is called an external circulation system; while modern warriors are people-oriented and continue to grow stronger

The ray of innate true energy from the mother's womb forms the circulation of the body, which is the internal circulation system. This is what is meant by the saying of practicing one's breath internally and refining the muscles, bones and skin externally.

Xiahou's remarks made Ding Ning feel like he was enlightened. He benefited a lot. Many questions that he had not understood before were answered, and he also had a clear understanding of the realm of a warrior's cultivation.

The only regret is that Xiahou has never been in contact with a spiritual master, and he doesn't know much about them. He only knows that spiritual masters are a relatively mysterious training system in the ancient martial arts world. Their attack methods are even more unbelievable, making people unable to guard against them and terrifying them like tigers.

.

But according to Xia Hou's guess analysis, ancient warriors and spiritual masters should be equivalent to warriors and mages in the game. Ancient warriors are suitable for close combat, while spiritual masters are more suitable for long-range attacks.

The weakness of the spiritual master may be physical strength. It is suggested that if Ding Ning unfortunately encounters the enemy of the spiritual master, it is best to close the distance with the spiritual master and fight in close combat, which may give him an advantage.

Hearing his suggestion, Ding Ning secretly smiled bitterly. He didn't know if he was a spiritual master, but his super mental power was not far behind even if he was not a spiritual master. If he didn't know how powerful the spiritual master was, he would naturally think that he could easily do it.

Close the distance between you and them.

But Ding Ning knew very well that even if Xiahou's guess was correct, physical strength was the spiritual master's weakness, but once the real battle began, with the spiritual master's powerful mental power and induction, he would not give any enemy a chance to get close to them.

Unless there is a chance for a sneak attack when he is unprepared.

He has a strong mental power but doesn't know how to use it. He can only use it for exploration and reconnaissance. The only attack method is the streamer. Unfortunately, this attack method cannot be easily exposed. It is simply a waste of natural resources.

It would be great if he could learn the spiritual attack method of a spiritual master. Ding Ning thought with some longing that if he could become a spiritual master, with the physical strength of his military training, even his only shortcoming would be gone.

"Master, in the world of warriors, in addition to ancient warriors, modern warriors and spiritual masters, there are also many strange and strange arts. Once you encounter them, you must be careful."

Xiahou's warning to be cautious made Ding Ning curious: "What kinds of strange arts are there?"

"Warlock!"

Xia Hou showed a look of fear on his face, "These strange arts are collectively called warlocks because their methods are extremely weird and unpredictable, such as the head-dropping masters in Nanyang, the Corpse Exorcist Sect in Western Hunan, the Grass Gu Po in Miao Territory, the Tibetan Territory's

The Mahamudra of Tantric Buddhism, the Snowy Mountains of the grassland, the Yin Bing Dao of Lingnan, the Ghost Mudra of northern Jiangxi, the Onmyoji of Fuso, the Long Po of ancient Thailand,

The Blood Curse Master in Burma, the Holy Fire Cult in Tianzhu, the mummies in ancient Egypt, the Golden Family in Atlantis, the witches in England, the Holy See in the Vatican, the Dark Parliament in Europe, etc., there are many people in these places.

He possesses supernatural abilities that cannot be explained by science, and his strength cannot be measured by ordinary realm cultivation."

Ding Ning was perked up after hearing this. The world seemed not as simple as he imagined, especially the Yin Bing Dao in Lingnan and the ghost handprints in northern Gansu. I wonder if there are any little ghosts there?

He immediately said with great interest: "Brother Xiahou, please tell me carefully."

Xia Hou's face showed lingering fear: "Young Master, there are many rumors from the outside world about the places I just mentioned. Many people think that they are just rumors and rumors, but I know that they are all true. When I was a mercenary,

On missions all over the world, I once encountered mummies, witches, and cultists in the Middle East, and even in northern Jiangxi.

I have seen ghost handprints, blood curse masters in Burma, grass poisonous women in Miao border, and zombies in western Hunan. They all have terrifying power that humans cannot imagine, and they kill people invisible. I have many

My mercenary comrades died in their hands. If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape death every time, I probably wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to the young master now."

The car had already arrived at the Ning University campus, but Ding Ning was addicted to what he heard and was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He pestered Xiahou to tell him some anecdotes about his time as a mercenary.

It was rare for an audience to listen to him talk about his experiences as a mercenary. Xiahou kept talking to him about those supernatural events, which made Ding Ning listen with gusto and couldn't help but miss Shu.

The grass-gu woman in Miaojiang casts poison to kill people, the behead master in Nanyang casts curses to kill people, the Yin soldiers in Lingnan take advantage of the way, the fire-controlling ability of the Holy Fire Cultists, the mysterious shroud of the mummy, the magical witchcraft of witches, the magical hidden treasure

Northern No Man's Land...

As Xia Hou narrated, a world that Ding Ning had never been exposed to slowly opened before his eyes, filling his heart with infinite yearning.

It is true that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The humanities, geography, customs and customs seen in books are ultimately just words on paper. This made Ding Ning spontaneously have the urge to go see the world is so big.

It wasn't until Xia Hou finished smoking two full packs of cigarettes and both of their stomachs growled that they realized that the time had already reached mid-afternoon without even realizing it.

Let's fill our stomachs first. The two looked at each other and smiled before ending the conversation, but invisibly the relationship between the two became closer.

The lunch that Luoxue specially prepared for Ding Ning had already gone cold. But after seeing Ding Ning come back, she immediately nervously checked his body up and down. After confirming that he was just a little listless, she felt relieved to warm him up.

meal.

Ding Ning stayed with Xiahou to eat with him. Xiahou was already hungry and was not polite when he heard this. When Luoxue served the food, he held the bowl and ate generously.
