The next day, Hua Xing and the housekeeper left the village early in the morning. In just a few days, nearly a hundred wild beasts had gathered outside Fort Wah Ka Village. This year, the wild beasts gathered much faster than in previous years. This was not good news for the entire Qi and even other countries.
In the afternoon, Hua Xing and the housekeeper Wal-mart came back. The situation of Huang Jia in Xihe Village was just as Hua Xing had expected. More than a thousand wild beasts had gathered at the entrance of Xihe Village. The entire Huang Jia was ready for battle. Yijia Ling Village was in danger, so Huang Jia did not go to help.
Hua Xing and the housekeeper Wal-mart killed more than a hundred wild beasts, but the battle attracted more wild beasts. They climbed up the wall of Xihe Village and discussed with Hua Kai's two uncles. In the end, Huang Jia took the initiative to attack and killed a wild beast leader with Hua Xing. This caused 30% of the wild beasts to disperse. The rest of the wild beasts did not attack the city or leave. They were still waiting outside the village. After a day of fighting, the pressure on Xihe Village was greatly reduced.
In the afternoon, Hua Xing planned to stay in Xihe Village and help Huang Jia kill the remaining wild beast tomorrow. However, he thought that Hua Kai would be worried if he did not return to the village at night. He might even bring people to Xihe Village. Therefore, the two of them refused Wong Kwong Kei's invitation to stay and returned to the village in the end.
Hua Xing went to Xihe Village for five consecutive days. Every time he tried his best to kill some powerful wild beasts, more wild beasts would come to Xihe Village every night. After five days, more than four wild beasts and wild beasts had died under Hua Xing and Wal-mart's guns. However, there were still about a thousand wild beasts outside Xihe Village.
Hua Kai was becoming more and more familiar with the habits of the desolate beasts. Unless one could chase away all the savage beasts outside the village, it would be useless no matter how many they killed. On one hand, his grandfather and the housekeeper were familiarizing themselves with their newfound strength. On the other hand, they were also killing a few more savage beasts to collect more bones. Even if a desolate beast couldn't be eaten and its fur couldn't be sold for money, its bones would still be worth at least 5 gold.
For the next few days, Fort Wah Ka's Luck Points kept increasing by 5 points every day. This had a lot to do with Grandpa and Wal-mart killing the Wo Duo savage beasts. Fort Wah Ka's Luck Points had risen to 152 points. After that, the daily increase in Luck Points decreased. Hua Kai originally wanted to save up 200 Luck Points to upgrade his family's Luck Points, but now it seemed that spending it early was the right thing to do. If he didn't spend it, wouldn't it be a waste if it didn't increase?
On this night, Hua Kai entered the [Intent Field Training Mystic Realm] for the first time. This mystic realm required 5 Luck Points to enter, so Hua Kai was looking forward to it.
After entering the mystic realm, Hua Kai realized that he was in a square, brightly lit space. His surroundings were enveloped by a faint layer of glass, as though he was in an arena.
The spiritual energy in this space was abnormally dense. Hua Kai saw a dazzling light spot slowly moving from the walls of the space. As time passed, the light spot became dimmer. Hua Kai felt that this should be something that kept track of time. When the light spot disappeared, there would definitely be a huge change in the space.
Indeed, after about two minutes, the light spot disappeared after circling the walls once. It was as though its energy had been exhausted. Hua Kai saw a figure that looked exactly like him appear in the corner of the space.
"A mirror image?"
Just as Hua Kai was feeling curious, he saw the figure charging towards him. That "Hua Kai" was also holding the Red Sakura Spear and using the [Space Splitting Spear]. His realm was the same as his.
Hua Kai did not dare to be careless. He blocked the other party's spear attacks. He felt that the other party's spear techniques were only at the beginner level. Some of the spear techniques were very stiff, but the changes in each spear technique were very timely and natural. Hua Kai's great mastery of spear techniques was not able to take down the other party, which shocked him.
"My spear techniques are two levels higher than the other party's, and the other attributes are the same, but I can't suppress the other party. Am I that bad?" Hua Kai felt that this mystic realm with 5 Luck Points was indeed different.
He began to think about the other party's use of power!
The same.
Use of True Qi!
The same.
Moves!
The difference was too great.
What was the problem?
Just as Hua Kai was thinking, he realized that the other him had suddenly disappeared. The light spots on the walls of the space started moving again. Was this giving him time to rest?
After fighting for two minutes and resting for two minutes, the light spots disappeared, and that "Hua Kai" appeared in a corner of the space.
Hua Kai fought with the other party, but the other party was exactly the same as before. After two minutes, the other party disappeared again.
"How long will this fight last? I'm obviously stronger than the other party, but I can't take him down. Is it because I'm not giving it my all?" Hua Kai thought.
The third time the mirror image appeared, Hua Kai was even fiercer and more aggressive than before. However, the mirror image was also as fierce as he wanted to be. He often exchanged injuries with injuries, causing Hua Kai to be flustered. This way, he could not gain any advantage.
After another two minutes of rest, Hua Kai carefully recalled the battle just now. Although the mirror image was only at the beginner level of the [Space Splitting Spear], every time it made a move, it could vaguely suppress him. This was because it seemed to know that he was going to use the [Space Splitting Spear] next. This way, he was restricted everywhere, and the fight was very sullen.
After finding the problem, Hua Kai carefully observed the other party's rhythm of the spear. He found that although the other party was only at the beginner level of the [Space Splitting Spear], he had been predicting his position and the strength of the spear. The rhythm of the entire battle was completely controlled by the other party.
This way, his own shortcomings were infinitely magnified. No wonder he felt more sullen the more he fought.
After finding the problem, Hua Kai began to learn as he fought. He began to cause damage to the mirror image when it least expected. The moves of the [Space Splitting Spear] were linked more freely, and he did not blindly pursue the speed and strength of the spear. This way, he felt that the mirror image was easier to deal with.
Hua Kai could not remember how many times the illusion had appeared. When the mirror image appeared again, Hua Kai did not wait for it to react and attacked to seize the initiative.
The mirror image's skills were not as good as his, so it did not dare to use its killing move. It was afraid of revealing its flaws. Hua Kai deliberately revealed his flaws, and the other party did not rush forward. Relying on the advantage of his skills, Hua Kai quickly gained the upper hand. Seeing that the mirror image was about to fall after being stabbed a few more times, the mirror image disappeared again after two minutes.
Hua Kai waited for the other party to appear again. At this time, Hua Kai found that he had already left the space, and the system notification sounded in his mind.
"Detected that the spiritual power has reached the limit. Host's training in the [Will Training Secret Realm] has reached 23 rounds. If you did not kill the target, you will be rewarded with willpower + 1."
Hua Kai thought that he did not kill the mirror image and did not gain anything!
However, this trial allowed him to understand more about martial arts. Martial arts were not just fixed moves. The mirror image's strength using the beginner level [Space Splitting Spear] could defeat him even if he was not careful. The other party had completely integrated all the moves into his body, and the changes in his moves were decisive and effective.
He opened his status panel.

His willpower had increased by one point, and it was already ahead of his other attributes by a large margin. He believed that after digesting what he had gained from this secret realm, his strength would definitely increase by a large margin.
Hua Kai, who was about to sleep, heard the butler practicing his spear technique in the courtyard.
Although Wal-mart's butler was not as uncomfortable as before, every night, he had to exhaust all his energy before he could sleep. Hua Kai got up and went to the courtyard. He called Wal-mart to his room and sent him into the [Intent Training Secret Realm].
Wal-mart's butler fought for three hours and more than sixty battles before he came out of the secret realm. He only won one battle and was rewarded with four intent points in the end.
Hua Kai planned to let Wal-mart's butler go through all the secret realms before the effects of the medicine wore off. By then, he would be able to become one of the family's most powerful warriors.
The following days, Fort Wah Ka returned to its normal winter life. Every day, his grandpa would lead the training in the training field, and Hua Kai would reward the young people according to their talent, loyalty, and hard work. Every day, there would be people entering the secret realm. Slowly, Hua Kai realized that most of the family members on the crystal pillars had entered the secret realm. However, Hua Kai only opened the [Intent Training Secret Realm] to his grandpa, the butler, Fourth Uncle, Erzhuang, and Hua Yue.
His grandpa, Hua Yue, had reached Mortal Realm Stage 4 after going through all three secret realms. His B rank talent was basically the limit.
Fourth Uncle, Qi Transforming Stage 2, Erzhuang, Initial Element Stage 9, and Hua Yue, Qi Transforming Stage 1.
What surprised Hua Kai was Wal-mart's status panel.
Wal-mart: Qi Transforming Stage 9

Vitality: 52 (45)
Strength: 46
Will: 41
Heart Sutra: Meditation Art (Low Yellow Rank Heart Sutra) Completion

All three of Wal-mart's attributes had exceeded 40 points, but he still had not reached the Mortal Realm. However, his vitality had already reached 45 points. In just a few days, his vitality had increased by 12 points. His previously skinny body had now become full of muscles, which was quite unusual for a 55 year old man.
For the past few days, Yu Jun had become a storyteller. He had been telling stories for free on the streets of the village. At first, there were only a few children and old people watching, but as time passed, more and more people came to listen to his stories.
On this day, Hua Kai also listened to Yu Jun's story for half an hour. He was telling a story about a ranger who sacrificed himself to save the king. This was a world where family and country were the main themes. Everyone was especially interested in the topic of the king and the head of the family. Some people were even crying when they heard the story, which puzzled Hua Kai.
In his previous life, he had been on the Qidian website for more than ten years. This kind of simple and old-fashioned story was very common in Hua Kai's eyes. However, the people of Fort Wah Ka were listening with great interest.
"Master, you're here?"
Yu Jun was very happy to see that Hua Kai had also come to listen to the story. After he finished his story, he came to Hua Kai's side. He had been living and eating for free in Hua Kai's house for the past few days. As a novelist, traveling a thousand miles to tell a thousand miles of stories was a kind of cultivation. Now that his life had stabilized, he came out to tell stories again.
"Yes, you're right!
Did you write this story? "
Hua Kai asked. Such a simple and boring story took more than half an hour. Moreover, it was written in ancient Chinese. Many of the villagers could not understand it, but he was still so proud of it.
"I can't write such a good story. My teacher, Mr. He Hui, created this masterpiece three years ago. He gave me permission to speak about his book."
Yu Jun was proud of his teacher. Usually, only the masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought could openly accept disciples. Most of them were at least Xiantian Realm.
"Then do you have your own works? I heard that you novelists all have your own novels."
Hua Kai had heard the village teacher talk about the different ideas and characteristics of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Among them, novelists traveled the world to tell stories, and then returned home to write their own works. Many teahouses in the city liked novelists to stay in their teahouses. This way, his business would be much better every day.
"I … I'm still a student. I haven't learned the ideas and profound meanings that a novel should have. I'm still sorting out my experiences in the past two years. I've already prepared a lot of manuscripts. After a while, I'll write my own work," Yu Jun said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll wait for your masterpiece!
What other good stories do you have? Continue. "
Hua Kai felt that with the many novel plots in his memory, it should be easy to write a novel that would become popular in this world. If that was the case, would he become a big shot in the Hundred Schools of Thought soon?
"I know how to tell a total of eight stories. They're all the works of my teacher, Mr. He Hui. Next, I'll tell everyone the story of 'Chu Ji's Sword Dance' …"
The people of this world had a very strong sense of intellectual property protection. Without the consent of the person who created the work, no one else could show it to outsiders.
After Yu Jun started, Hua Kai couldn't continue listening. The description of the characters was too detailed, and the plot was too simple. The main point was that Chu's dance and swordsmanship were very impressive. They were all praised by the king of Wei Country.
After waiting for Yu Jun to finish, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause. Yu Jun happily walked over to him.
The villagers of Fort Wah Ka were all calling for him to tell another story.
"I can only tell one story a day. I've already told two stories today. I can't tell anymore. After I'm done, I'll leave and continue wandering elsewhere."
Yu Jun said to the cheering crowd. In this world, the thoughts of the hundred schools of thought were very pure. If they weren't pure, it would be very difficult for them to achieve great things. They cultivated in all sorts of ways, but each school had their own unique points. This made Hua Kai very impressed.
Hua Kai found it funny. If he only knew eight stories, wouldn't that mean that he had to leave after staying in a place for eight days?
If a novelist only knew one story, wouldn't he be exhausted from running around?
After two days, Hua Kai returned from the village entrance. Today, the number of desolate beasts outside Fort Wah Ka had increased by a lot. There were already about 600 of them. This was already approaching the danger level. There were still five days before the New Year. Fort Wah Ka might encounter a second wave of desolate beasts this year.
When he returned to the living room, Hua Kai saw Yu Jun walking in with a piece of parchment. He showed it to Hua Kai as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Family Head, this is the novel I wrote. I haven't finished it yet. If Family Head wants to see Yu Jun, let Family Head take a look first!" Yu Jun carefully handed the parchment to Hua Kai.
Hua Kai knew that knowledge and thoughts were precious in this world. However, he couldn't help but read it out of curiosity.
"What are you writing?
How can a young swordsman's family be ordinary?
How can you attract readers without a story at the beginning? You have to change it … change it to an aristocratic family's brother setting him up … and then seriously injuring him and losing his cultivation … "
"It's best to add the three-year promise of the swordsman's fiancée breaking off the engagement … The key is the contrast in the plot at the end. The swordsman left his family and had all kinds of adventures …" Hua Kai looked at Yu Jun's narrative and complained.
"This … this …" Yu Jun stared at Hua Kai with his eyes wide open like a demon.
