I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 139 Short-lived Ghost (Subscription Request)
Two days in a row.

Chen Yi just woke up, opened his eyes and looked at the flower fairy opposite with a smile.

Then, without waiting for the Flower Fairy to speak, he started to practice the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique, and sixteen spiritual energy cyclones appeared around his body.

Fairy Flower's beautiful eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Brother Chen, your spiritual awareness has been improved!"

Xiao Xuanzhen, who was not far away, saw the spiritual energy vortex around him, and was surprised but also a little disappointed.

"Junior brother 'Little Sword Immortal', is this sudden enlightenment an improvement in your cultivation?"

Chen Yi slowly gathered his breath, exhaled a long breath of mist, and said:
“It’s just a small gain.”

This "epiphany" was a deliberate act on his part - the purpose was to prepare for the next improvement in his kendo skills.

In fact, after Chen Yi saw the completion of the task progress on the panel, he knew that he could not make a direct breakthrough as he did before on Jianfeng Mountain.

Firstly, it had only been half a year since his last breakthrough in swordsmanship, so he needed an "enlightenment" to cover it up.

Secondly, at this moment he showed his perfect spiritual power, without revealing his sword skills, just to show it to outsiders.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanzhen said, "What a pity! If you had realized the way of the sword, your strength would have been improved even more."

After saying that, she secretly cursed herself for worrying unnecessarily.

It’s good that “Little Sword Immortal” junior brother didn’t make a breakthrough in swordsmanship, so that she can catch up.

Humph, once she makes a breakthrough in her Eight Techniques, she will definitely be able to defeat her junior brother “Little Sword Immortal”!
The Flower Fairy handed over a bottle of elixir and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be anxious. It's good to improve your cultivation."

But she didn't think much about it.

For the Flower Fairy, it doesn’t matter whether Chen Yi is improving his swordsmanship or his cultivation.

As long as his strength improved, she would be very happy.

Chen Yi took the pill, nodded and said, "I will be away for a while to consolidate my cultivation."

Flower Fairy: "It should be."

As they spoke, the three of them left the hidden formation and joined up with Xie Changle, Gongye Shou and others.

"Your Highness, please guard us."

"No way," Gongye Shou said with regret after learning that he had suddenly realized his cultivation: "Brother Yi, you can look for sword skills in the secret realm later."

"It's natural."

Then a few people talked about the people who had come to the secret realm in the past two days.

"Two descendants of the Fantian Dao came to Wuliang Mountain. As soon as they arrived, they set up a competition arena and threatened to challenge all the geniuses."

Gongye Shou said this and burst into laughter.

"guess what?"

"In less than half a day, they were defeated by a monk from the Western Continent and left in disgrace."

"And there's the 'Soul Chaser' who came from Luofeng Island in Dongzhou. His strength is indeed terrifying."

"Since coming here, he has been challenging the Taoist prodigies. Almost no one can last more than three moves in his hands."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "That person can be ranked fifth on the Earth Ranking, so his strength must be strong."

As he spoke, he released a trace of murderous sword intent that surrounded the entire lakeside.

Compared to two days ago, the number of people here has almost tripled.

There were as many as 1,200 martial artists and hundreds of geniuses who came to watch the battle. Together with their guards and family members, the total number of people here was close to 3,000.

Moreover, Chen Yi knew that protectors like Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu were still hiding in various places.

If you count carefully, the strength of the warriors outside the secret realm alone is comparable to that of a small sect.

"With such strength, the God Worship Sect and the demons still come to attack and kill us..."

Thinking of this, Chen Yi shifted the topic to the changes in the Nanman Sect.

"Brother Yi, I was just about to tell you."

Gongye Shou glanced around, signaled the sword and shield soldiers to stay outside, and activated the formation set up around them.

"In the past two days, in addition to the geniuses from various sects and schools, the Southern Barbarian Sect has also arranged for many barbarians to come and set up defenses around the area."

"After much investigation, we found that there are more than a thousand barbarians who came here openly or secretly, and there are more than ten shamans among them."

Chen Yi frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know their intentions?"

"The current situation is unclear," Gongye Shou shook his head and said, "Mother only replied that we should continue as usual."

"I think the Nanman Cult will not risk the world's disapproval and attack us this time."

"That's good..."

As he spoke, Chen Yi remembered Wen Renying's reminder and continued to ask, "Have you found out where the demon is?"

"No," Gongye Shou pointed at 'Dakong Buddhist' and said with a smile, "If a demon appears, Fuchen Buddhist will issue a warning immediately."

Fuchen nodded and said calmly: "Don't worry, young master. I can sense the aura of demons."

"Within a thousand miles, no demon can escape the Buddha's light."

Gongye Shou took over the conversation and said, "However, the demons did not appear, but a few evil demons and heretics came."

"One of them is an acquaintance of Yi Ge'er."

"Oh?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it the 'devil woman' of the God Worship Sect, or the crazy old man?"

Gongye Shou: "It's 'crazy old man'."

Xie Changle smiled and agreed, "That old man relied on his agility and didn't take the people here seriously at all. He provoked us several times."

Chen Yi nodded, and the scene of killing the crazy old man in Jiangnan Mansion emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.

He remembered that he had chopped the crazy old man into pieces just in case, but he didn't expect that he could be resurrected.

"If you encounter him in the future, try to avoid him."

Thinking of this, Chen Yi looked at the others and reminded them, "Compared to his body movement speed, he also has a very special method that can revive by dripping blood." Xie Changle frowned, "Resurrection by dripping blood?"

Although this was the first time he heard of this, for some reason he had a vague feeling that he had heard of it somewhere before.

An old friend from the Taizhou Mountain battlefield?
It should be, but he couldn't remember which one.

"So scary?" Gongye Shou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Fortunately, we didn't rush to attack them, otherwise I really don't know how I would die."

Afterwards, they chatted for a while, and Chen Yi made an excuse that he wanted to consolidate his cultivation and prepared to leave the camp.

"Brother, can I go with you?" The flower fairy suggested, her eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Yi glanced at her, shook his head and said, "It's safer for you and Senior Brother Changle to stay here."

"Don't worry, I won't go far, and nothing will happen to me."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanzhen stepped forward and held the flower fairy, whispering a few words of comfort, then looked at Chen Yi:
"Junior Brother 'Little Sword Immortal', be careful."

"This is the land of the southern barbarians, not a sect. If you can't find a safe place, you might as well come back here."

Chen Yi glanced at her and felt a little strange.

It's rare for the clan leader's daughter to say such serious words. The sun is rising from the west?
"What do you mean by that look?"

Xiao Xuanzhen was frightened by his gaze and snorted, "I'm worried that if something happens to you, it will make Junior Sister Xueru sad."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister~"

As he spoke, Chen Yi said hello to a few people, disguised himself and left the camp.

……

At this moment, outside the lake where the secret realm is located, a larger open space has been cleared by more and more martial artists.

In addition to wooden houses and tents, there were actually some vendors selling drinks and food.

Among them were not only Wei people, but also barbarians and merchants from the western land.

Above the inner lake, someone had built a simple martial arts arena where two people were fighting.

The area was filled with martial artists watching the fight, and from time to time there were voices of cheering and shouting.

As Chen Yi walked towards the dense forest, he glanced around to see if there were any evil spirits or monsters hiding.

At this moment, an old Taoist priest who was setting up a stall nearby called out to him, "Young man, do you want to have your fortune told?"

Chen Yi looked at him calmly, "Not really."

The old Taoist priest refused to give in and said earnestly, "I only want two silver coins, which is not expensive."

"That doesn't count."

Having said that, Chen Yi wanted to move away.

He himself was born into a Taoist family and had been fortune-told many times by the young princess Du Yan of the Qimen lineage, but he was not interested in Qimen arithmetic.

The old Taoist still did not give up. He looked him up and down, counting on his fingers and muttering something.

"Young man, you must be careful. You have had a rough life and have gone through many hardships. There will be bloodshed in the near future... Huh?"

The old Taoist priest seemed to have noticed something and looked at Chen Yi carefully again.

"Weird, weird, weird..."

Seeing this, Chen Yi stopped and said with a smile: "What's weird about it?"

He knew that the old Taoist priest must have noticed something, so he was not in a hurry.

"You've had a rough life, young man. If you can't live past thirty, you'll definitely die young."

“If I can make it to thirty, I will be able to turn things around and realize my ambitions.”

The old Taoist priest had a thin face and shook his head as he said, "Now it has already soared into the sky. It's really strange."

Chen Yi's eyes changed slightly, and he looked up and down at the old Taoist priest, then took out two silver coins from his Sumeru bag and placed them in his hand.

"Master, your arithmetic is quite extraordinary. I have something else to do. If we can meet again, I will definitely let you do a calculation."

But the old Taoist threw the silver and money over again and shook his head.

"Then let's talk about it when you have some free time."

Having said that, he turned around and sat back on the stall, hunched over, eyes slightly closed, muttering something to himself.

Chen Yi looked at him deeply and secretly memorized the figure of the fortune teller.

This was the first time he heard someone accurately tell him his "destiny". While he was surprised, he also admired the man's extraordinary numerology.

If he didn't have to receive the reward as soon as possible and advance to the realm of sword skills, he would really want to stay a little longer.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi left the lakeside and entered the dense forest, escaping quietly.

After he walked away, the old Taoist turned around and looked in the direction where he had gone, still feeling puzzled.

"He is obviously destined to be a late bloomer... Could it be that someone has changed his fate?"

"Otherwise, how could this world-famous 'Little Sword Immortal' have such a natural talent in swordsmanship?"

Chen Yi, who had already left the secret realm, was unaware that the old Taoist priest had seen his "late bloomer" talent, and he only focused on escaping.

In order to hide his figure, he dived into the mud and water several times to wash off the smell on his body.

Chen Yi didn't stop until he was thousands of miles away from the secret realm.

He looked at the unchanging tall trees around him, picked a giant tree at random, hollowed out the inside, crawled into it, and covered it with bark.

Looking at the darkness all around, Chen Yi set up a concealment formation inside and lit a candle.

Then he swallowed a Lingyuan Pill to restore himself.

Only after the seventeen spiritual orifices in his body were fully formed did he let out a long sigh and summoned the panel -

[Receive the reward——Sword Dao Divine Ability Realm! ]
