Chapter 21:
The long spear in Qiao Mu’s hand was abandoned by the mountain bandits.
The spear tip of this long spear is made of iron, and the spear shaft is made of white waxwood. It is similar in length to the standard long spear Qiao Mu used before.
He swung it a few times, quickly adapting to the long spear in his hand. At the same time, standing on the mountain ridge, he looked down at the crowd of official soldiers below, his gaze following Military Officer Chu’s movements as he quietly waited for an opportunity.
"Military Officer Chu, seems to be rank 8?"
He closed his eyes and looked inward, he could see that his dantian and qi sea were already filled with abundant and invisible internal strength, forming a vortex in the center of his dantian.
The vortex of the qi sea’s internal strength is a sign that his internal strength has reached the limit of the dantian.
In other words, Qiao Mu has now reached the peak of 9th rank in internal strength, just one step away from 8th rank.
One death consumed eight years of Qiao Mu’s lifespan and was equivalent to far surpassing eight years of hard cultivation. It directly surpassed the intermediate stage of internal strength accumulation, reaching the peak of 9th rank.
"If you kill me again, maybe I can break through to the 8th rank."
