Chapter 36 Entering the Eighth Level
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't stop. Zhou Chen spoke again and said, "I won't notify every household one by one. Please help convey the message. All villagers are welcome to come when the time comes."

Several people agreed and ran away without waiting for Zhou Chen to leave. They began to notify every household one by one. Before Zhou Chen returned home, everyone in the village knew about it. Zhou Chen had to admire their speed.

The next day, some villagers came to help them decorate the new house. It was very simple to decorate the new house. After pasting red wedding decorations all over the room, the job was done. At the same time, some villagers also brought stools and tables from their homes.

After all, there are quite a few people in the village, and Zhou Chen couldn't let others eat on the ground. The villagers also knew this. The women in the village who were good at cooking also came to his house to help them deal with the five big fat pigs. At the same time, Zhou Chen also took out a black bear when no one was around.

Of course, this black bear was just an ordinary black bear. After everything was settled, everyone went home. Zhou Chen did not stay with Leng Yiyao that night, but everyone returned to their own rooms.

The villagers arrived before dawn the next day and started to get busy. There were not so many formalities in the mountain village, so Leng Yiyao simply put on some light makeup and put on the wedding dress that her brother had prepared for her long ago.

Zhou Chen also wore a red dress, and the two began to worship in the center of the hall surrounded by many villagers. There was no one sitting in the hall, only seats for Leng Yiyao's parents.

The village chief stood aside and shouted, "First, bow to heaven and earth, then bow to parents, and then husband and wife bow to each other." After they finished bowing, Leng Yiyao was sent back to her room.

The villagers began to take their seats. Zhou Chen set up more than 40 tables in total. Not only villagers came this time, but also some people from other villages. They were all called by relatives. Zhou Chen did not say much about this.

Zhou Chen did not prepare any alcohol, but instead drank a cup of tea with the villagers. After that, Zhou Chen did not stay but returned to the room.

The villagers couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten such a good meal, so they went hungry all day yesterday just to eat more today.

There was also a table of food in the room for the two. Their food was much more refined, with meat only accounting for half, and there were also various pastries.

"Yiyao, from today on, we are officially husband and wife," Leng Yiyao said nothing with a red face.

The banquet outside lasted for a full five hours. After the meal, the villagers patted their stomachs in satisfaction. During the meal, many people argued over the issue of packing up leftovers, but Zhou Chen didn't say anything about it.

Before leaving, Zhou Chen brought a pound of rice to each household, without any discrimination regardless of whether they were from the village or not.

In this way, the two of them spent a few days in peace. That night, Zhou Chen did not sleep with Leng Yiyao, but went to his previous room alone.

Because Zhou Chen planned to break through tonight, and Leng Yiyao, who had sneaked over, didn't know about it, Zhou Chen opened his panel and chose to add some Iron Shirt.

As the points began to be added, his head buzzed, and a stream of memories poured into his mind. This time the memory was longer than the previous ones. In the memory, Zhou Chen soaked his body in medicine day after day, and his body was slowly getting stronger, until one day five years later, he finally broke through, and his iron shirt reached the realm of perfection.

Just after the memory ended, he felt a piercing pain in his body, which was so painful that he almost cried out. However, remembering that Leng Yiyao was still next door, he gritted his teeth and endured it. He himself didn't know how long it took for the pain to slowly subside.

At this time, Zhou Chen was already soaked in sweat.

Host: Zhou Chen
Realm: Eighth Grade (Muscle Training)
Strength: 190 (160+30)

Speed: 18
Skill: None

Martial arts: Ordinary archery (great success), Liuhe swordsmanship (breaking the limit), iron shirt (perfection)
Strengthening points: 1
As Zhou Chen expected, this time he directly advanced to a higher level and reached the level of eighth-grade muscle training. Then Zhou Chen couldn't wait to put on the eighth-grade demon pattern.

Head: Not opened Left arm: Wolf pattern (15th grade rare power + magical power to control the wind)
Right arm: Bear pattern (rare power +15 divine wind blade)
Chest: Unopened

Left leg: Enabled

Right leg: Tree pattern (eighth-grade rare power + 60 magical wood skills)
The moment Zhou Chen put on the demon pattern, he felt that his strength, which had already increased a lot, had been qualitatively improved again. His strength reached a terrifying 250, which was 50 higher than the guy he met before.

If Zhou Chen now faces Li Ba from Badao Martial Arts School again, Zhou Chen is confident that he can kill him with one blow. In addition to his new magical powers, Zhou Chen no longer takes Badao Martial Arts School seriously.

Just when he was overjoyed, the door was opened by someone, and the person who opened the door was none other than Leng Yiyao, "Brother Chen, why did you come here alone?" Leng Yiyao asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Just now I felt that my strength was about to break through, and I was afraid of disturbing you when I broke through, so I came here."

"Ah, did I disturb you just now?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, I had already broken through when you came in."
Afterwards, Zhou Chen asked Leng Yiyao to rest while he went to boil water and take a bath before returning.

The next day, someone came from the yamen again. It was the same constable from last time. This time Zhou Chen had learned his lesson and did not leave Leng Yiyao alone at home. Instead, he took him with him. The constable did not say anything about this.

The carriage drove straight to the yamen. Leng Yiyao was taken to the guest room to rest, while Zhou Chen came to Zhao Kuo.

When Zhou Chen arrived at the door, he pushed it open without knocking and walked in, "Brother Zhao, I'm here."

Compared to the previous few days, Zhao Kuo's injuries had improved a lot. At least he could walk with the help of a cane. When he saw Zhou Chen coming in, Zhao Kuo was startled and almost fell down. Fortunately, Zhou Chen was quick to support him, otherwise he might have really fallen to the ground.

"Brother Zhou, you gave me a shock."

"What trouble do you want from me this time?"
Zhao Kuo looked at Zhou Chen and smiled, "Do you know that you are now famous in the entire Ping'an County?"

Zhou Chen asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Are you still pretending to be ignorant in front of me? Last time, you broke into Badao Martial Arts School alone, turned the entire school upside down, and finally escaped unscathed. This incident has spread throughout Ping'an County."

"So that's what it is," Zhou Chen said, scratching his head.

"If I had known you had this ability, I should have taken you directly to Badao Martial Arts School to ask for people."

Zhou Chen then remembered that when he first learned that Leng Yiyao was arrested, he was so anxious that he only focused on rescuing Leng Yiyao and forgot about the prisoner.

"So Brother Zhao means that you plan to go to Badao Martial Arts School to ask for someone today?"
"Hey, the day after you broke into the Badao Martial Arts School, I sent people to look for you, but it was too late and all I got back was a corpse."

The reason I'm looking for you this time is because there have been more cases of missing children in the city recently, and they're happening very frequently.

Zhou Chen analyzed, "This time it should be the work of the Nabato Martial Arts School again."

"Yeah, I thought so too, but without evidence, the government can't do anything to them." Zhao Kuo then told Zhou Chen the real purpose of his visit. In short, he still needed Zhou Chen's help in arresting people.
