"I have a feeling that the bronze statue's head was cracked open."

Just as Long Yan was about to admit it,

Senior Brother Da was very loyal and stepped forward to take the blame for Long Yan, saying:

“Master, I am willing to accept punishment for my actions.”

"I don't think you have the strength to break the bronze statue."

Master Longbrow didn't believe his eldest disciple's words and instead looked at Long Yan.

In the entire Wulong Academy, probably only Long Yan possesses such divine power.

Each of the eighteen bronze men was said to have been born with skin of bronze and bones of iron.

After death, it was refined into a bronze statue, its body incredibly hard, even surpassing the golden-armored zombies.

To crack the bronze statue, the required power is terrifying; even Master Longbrow cannot do it.

"Master, I did it."

Long Yan smiled lightly and laid his cards on the table.

After all, Master Long Eyebrows already suspected him, so there was no point in pretending not to know at this point.

It's better to just admit it openly, since it's understandable that you broke the bronze statue anyway.

Master Longbrow nodded in satisfaction and did not pursue the matter of the damaged bronze figure.

The Eighteen Bronze Men were created to test the Shaolin monks.

In the past few hundred years, no young disciple has ever been able to crack the bronze statue.

The fact that the bronze statue has cracked means that a prodigy has been born in Wulong Academy!

The bronze statue is just an inanimate object, and its strength is fixed and cannot increase.

But Long Yan's future is limitless!

What does it matter if a bronze statue is damaged? Master Long Eyebrows knew very well that.

"Long Yan, spend more time practicing with these bronze figures. You don't need to pay for the damage if you break them."

Master Longbrow considered that within the entire Wulong Academy, there might be no one left who could rival Long Yan, especially in terms of physical strength.

Therefore, the only way to find sparring partners for Long Yan is through these bronze figures.

but,

Long Yan really didn't dare to use these bronze figures as sparring partners anymore.

The reason is simple: he was afraid of smashing those bronze figures to pieces.

After all, in the past month, he had already perfected his body refinement, becoming indestructible.

If it could crack the bronze statue a month ago, it could probably smash it to pieces now.

The Eighteen Bronze Statues are still very precious.

A crack is harmless, but an explosion would be a huge loss.

With Long Yan's current strength, he no longer needs the bronze man as a sparring partner.

"Junior brother, Master really loves you."

Uncle Da whispered to Long Yan, with a hint of envy in his voice.

However, he had to admit that Long Yan was the most outstanding disciple of Wulong Academy, without exception.

Good students will naturally receive special treatment.

"Follow me, the mechanism box is in the deepest part of the forbidden area."

Master Longbrow, accompanied by several disciples, walked deeper into the forbidden area.

Walk until you reach the end, and you'll find a pitch-black stone chamber.

I turned on the flashlight and saw that the place was covered in cobwebs and dust; it hadn't been here for a long time.

"This is it."

Master Longbrow pointed to the mechanism box in the very center of the stone chamber.

The box was cast in bronze and was integrated with the stone chamber, making it impossible to move and ensuring it could not be stolen.

"How come there's not even a keyhole? How am I supposed to open this?"

Wen and Xiaolong walked around the box, but couldn't find anything that could unlock it.

"Of course, you two idiots, this is a mechanism box, it can't be opened with a key."

Uncle Da also went over, examined the box carefully, and cleaned away the dust and cobwebs with his hands.

You can see the texture and pattern on the surface of the box.

"These patterns should be the key to opening the mechanism box."

Uncle Da said confidently, "I'll try to study it."

"I don't understand!" Wen the smug shook his head.

"The diagrams drawn on this are so complicated and twisted, I've never seen anything like them before."

Uncle Da was also completely baffled, unable to understand it at all, as if he were reading a book written in a foreign language.

Long Yan walked over.

I recognized it at first glance!

Five Thunder Talisman!

The box containing the mechanism is decorated with the Five Thunder Talisman!

Moreover, it was exactly the same as the Five Thunder Talisman drawing method taught to him by the Hermit of the Thatched Cottage, without any difference.

Long Yan was overjoyed; it seemed that it was indeed the secret box left behind by the hermit of the thatched cottage.

Spanning five hundred years and enduring countless years, they finally met Long Yan.

I wonder what kind of good things the hermit of the thatched cottage will leave behind for himself.

"Let me try."

Long Yan extended his finger,

Above the mechanism box, draw a talisman in the air, and draw the Five Thunder Talisman.

Suddenly,

The mechanism box seemed to sense something and began to vibrate.

The two Five Thunder Talismans interacted with each other, just like entering the correct password!

There was a click,

The mechanism box has cracked!

................

104 Lost Peerless Martial Arts! Three-Part Return to Origin Qi! Sword Twenty-Three!

"It actually worked!"

Master Longbrow stared in disbelief as the mechanism box slowly opened.

Unexpectedly, Long Yan opened the mechanism box simply by gesturing with his fingers a few times.

My apprentice is awesome!

Even Master Longbrow couldn't figure it out; he didn't know why the mechanism box had opened.

But it seems impressive even though I don't understand it!

He had tried to open the mechanism box before and knew very well that it was extremely complicated and would be incredibly difficult to open.

Even using true qi is of no use.

"Junior brother, how did you do that?"

The eldest disciple, Uncle Da, was also completely bewildered; the patterns on the mechanism box were making him dizzy.

But Long Yan opened it very easily with a flick of his finger.

"It's not difficult. Just use your finger to trace the pattern drawn on the box."

Long Yan smiled; for him, it was indeed very simple.

Because I had already learned how to draw the Five Thunder Talisman from the Hermit of the Thatched Cottage.

"Seriously? You think such a complex diagram is simple?!"

Uncle Da felt that Long Yan's brain was incredibly sharp.

"That's the difference in intelligence!" the arrogant Wen mocked Uncle Da, saying, "Senior Brother, you're an idiot."

"You brat!" Uncle Da tapped Wen's head and said, "It's not that I'm stupid, it's that Long Yan is too smart."

Just as the black box slowly opened,

Wen and Xiaolong couldn't wait to reach out and take the treasure out to take a look.

"Stop touching!"

Master Long Eyebrows slapped away the two adorable children's little hands and said sternly:

"According to the rules of that reclusive master, all the items in this black box belong to the destined person who opens it. No one is allowed to touch them, or they will suffer great misfortune."

"Master, then we'll just look and not touch."

Wen and Xiaolong immediately withdrew their hands, staring longingly at the contents of the box.

Master Long Eyebrow and Uncle Da also stared at the slowly opening box, wondering what treasures were inside.

Finally, the mechanism box opened completely, revealing the items inside.

A sword, a stack of books!
