Chapter 103 Sixth-level Inner Breath
After Zhou Chen returned to his room, he quickly opened his property panel to check, but to his surprise, the panel did not open but a line of information appeared: "System is updating, please wait."

"Fuck!" Zhou Chen couldn't help but swear. He didn't expect that the system would need to be updated. He didn't know whether it was because he had broken through to the sixth level or because of some other reason. At this moment, he was temporarily unable to open the system panel.

However, Zhou Chen could be sure that he had indeed broken through the limit of the seventh level and reached the sixth level, because at this moment there were indeed fifteen drops of water lying quietly in his dantian.

And as long as Zhou Chen had a thought, those water droplets would immediately emit gas like water vapor and travel around in his body according to Zhou Chen's thoughts. If Zhou Chen asked them to go back, they would return to their dantian.

At the same time, Zhou Chen could expel the gas from his body with just a thought. Zhou Chen only tried to use a small part of his strength and hit the table in the room.

This table was just an ordinary table. An invisible gas broke out of the body and hit the table directly. In an instant, the table broke into pieces. Zhou Chen was shocked and said, "Is this the power of true Qi? It is indeed extremely powerful."

The true qi in the body is not like the sword qi produced by the magical powers such as Feng Ren. These gases are very magical. Although Zhou Chen did not use the martial arts of these true qi at the moment, just relying on his instinctive control, Zhou Chen can beat five of his seventh-grade selves, and his strength has increased by more than five times.

Zhou Chen did not sleep that night, but sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced all night. Zhou Chen found that his progress in practice had slowed down a lot after the breakthrough. Before the breakthrough, Zhou Chen could make a little progress every day, but after the breakthrough, he did not make any progress at all after practicing for half a night.

Zhou Chen guessed that this should be related to his system. The system does not allow him to practice, and only allows him to become stronger by adding points. Of course, Zhou Chen has also done experiments. Although practice cannot improve his strength, fortunately, recovering the consumed true energy is no problem.

On the second day, after Zhou Chen signed in with Leng Ningshuang and the others, he practiced swordsmanship alone in the yard. Zhou Chen felt that after his breakthrough, not only his strength but also his speed, reaction and vision seemed to have improved.

Leng Ningshuang, who was practicing martial arts on the other side, also noticed the changes in Zhou Chen. He felt that Zhou Chen's entire temperament had changed since he came back last night. It seemed that Zhou Chen became out of reach after a night.

He hung out in the Demon Suppression Division for a few hours in the morning and went straight home in the afternoon. After returning home, Leng Yiyao did not ask Zhou Chen where he had been last night, because Zhou Chen had already told him about it after entering the Demon Suppression Division.

The Demon Suppression Division has a special status. Although it is usually idle, if there is a mission, they must act immediately and there will be no time to come back and inform him. Leng Yiyao also understands this.

Zhou Chen stayed with Leng Yiyao for the whole afternoon, and only went to the Demon Suppression Bureau the next day. After arriving at the Demon Suppression Bureau, Zhou Chen found out that the original reward for the mission was fifty taels of silver and three merit points.

Since it was the first time to carry out the mission, no one asked for merit points, but gave them all to Qin Hong. Qin Hong did not take the silver, but divided the silver equally among Zhou Chen and the other two. The silver was the normal income from the mission, and there was no need to give any extra money to anyone except those who participated in the mission.

However, since Zhou Chen accidentally saved Qin Hong that day, Qin Hong was not a stingy person, so she simply gave up the reward and gave it all to Zhou Chen.

The reward was distributed yesterday afternoon, but Zhou Chen was not aware of it until he came this morning.

Zhou Chen did not argue with Qin Hong and directly accepted the merit points. At the same time, Qin Hong also told the three of them that there are benefits for newcomers who have just joined the Demon Suppression Bureau. They can enjoy super low discounts when they go to the Treasure Pavilion for the first time.

There are many practical items among them, which normally require more than ten merit points, but now only require one merit point, including the storage bag.

After hearing about the storage bag, Zhou Chen glanced at Leng Ningshuang and the others, and then asked, "Captain, I wonder if merit points can be given to others." Qin Hong looked at Zhou Chen curiously, and then said, "As long as the person being given the merit points is from the Demon Suppression Division, it's fine."

"Good to know".

Then Zhou Chen told Leng Ningshuang and the others about his idea.

"What do you mean you want to give some merit points to both of us?"
Seeing Zhou Chen nod seriously, the two believed his words. Then they went directly to the Treasure Pavilion. The transfer of merit points was also handled by the people in the Treasure Pavilion, because the place where the most merit points were used was the Treasure Pavilion.

The three of them now had some merit points at the same time, and the items they exchanged were all storage bags. Leng Ningshuang and the other two exchanged them because they needed them, while Zhou Chen wanted to prepare one for Leng Yiyao.

Although a few merit points are nothing to the Demon Suppression Guards, they are still worth something to the Demon Suppression Guards who have just joined the Demon Suppression Bureau. At this moment, the relationship between the three-person team has become closer.

After chatting with the two for a while, he returned home. During the chat, they learned that Zhou Chen had married. When talking about this, Wang Yong's face was full of envy, while Leng Ningshuang's face was full of loss.

However, this sense of loss was fleeting. Before Zhou Chen walked out of the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he was stopped by several people. Zhou Chen asked in confusion, "Brothers, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"You are Zhou Chen, right?"
"I don't think I know any of you guys?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter if I don't know you, my name is Wang Wu."

"My name is Wang Zhen."

"My name is Wang Ke, do you know me now?"
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and saw that they were all surnamed Wang. It seemed that these three people had come with bad intentions. "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you any longer." After saying that, Zhou Chen walked around the three people and walked away.

After Zhou Chen left, Wang Ke asked, "Brother, just let him go like that?"
Wang Wudao: “What else? Can we still take action in the Demon Suppression Division?”
"What should I do? Should I just let the matter go?"
"Hmph, now he is a Demon Suppression Guard. We will meet each other sooner or later. There will always be a chance."

After leaving the Demon Suppression Division, he felt relieved when he found that the three people did not catch up with him. "Damn it, I didn't expect that there were people from the Wang family in the Demon Suppression Division. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future."

After returning home, Zhou Chen handed the storage bag to Leng Yiyao. Leng Yiyao liked it very much after taking the storage bag. Although this kind of storage treasure is not very rare, it is indeed the most practical thing.

Afterwards, Zhou Chen took Leng Yiyao to a deserted place outside the city. Leng Yiyao's cultivation level had now reached 105, which was considered a rapid improvement.

Zhou Chen picked up a branch casually and said, "Come on." In an instant, Amber came out of his body and rushed towards Zhou Chen. Although he didn't know how strong Zhou Chen was now, Leng Yiyao knew that he was definitely not Zhou Chen's opponent, so he attacked without mercy.

Zhou Chen's mind moved, and he summoned a stream of true energy from his dantian and condensed it on the wooden stick in his hand. In an instant, an invisible true energy attached to the wooden stick. Looking at the amber chopping towards him, Zhou Chen raised his hand to block it with the wooden stick.

The sharp dagger did not leave any mark on the wooden stick. Zhou Chen was delighted to see this. Zhou Chen and Leng Yiyao practiced together for an hour. Leng Yiyao was already sweating profusely at this time, while Zhou Chen did not even breathe heavily.
