"Let's go." Chen Mo pushed a wheelbarrow full of snow and dumped it into the ditch in front of him that had already dried up.

He has been in the Royal Guard Camp for three months now, and it is logically time to incorporate him into the group.

But now it is close to the New Year, there is no war in Xingyuan Prefecture, and many of the personal soldiers are locals.

General Sun granted leave to many of his soldiers so that they could return home and reunite with their families.

So everything was delayed, even the evaluation at the end of this month was cancelled.

Unless it is something big, let's wait until after the festival to deal with other things.

Now, there are only more than 30 soldiers who are homeless or whose families are not in Xingyuan Prefecture, and a small number of auxiliary soldiers doing miscellaneous work on duty in the personal guard camp.

Many things that are usually done by the auxiliary soldiers now have to be helped by these personal soldiers.

For example, if you only rely on auxiliary soldiers to shovel snow, it will take half a month to shovel it clean.

However, there is one good thing as the New Year approaches, which is that the food standards in the military camp have improved significantly.

They slaughter pigs today and sheep tomorrow. The day before yesterday, a cow fell to its death in General Sun's home, and he sent more than 200 kilograms of beef to the personal soldiers who stayed behind.

As for various snacks, fruits, dried fruits, various kinds of wine and beverages, and even New Year's goods such as tobacco leaves, General Sun also had a lot of them sent to him.

Chen Mo didn't smoke or drink, so he exchanged these things with other soldiers and exchanged them all for snacks and dried fruits.

Now his room is filled with all kinds of snacks, and he grabs a few handfuls to eat after every meal.

This will allow your own qi and blood to accumulate faster. Even if it's just a slight increase, it will not be a small amount when accumulated over time.

In addition, training was completely stopped. Apart from doing some necessary chores every day, they had complete free time.

This is quite what Chen Mo wants. The food standard has obviously increased, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will continue until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

If this is the case, then after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he should be able to undergo the next transformation. Even if it may be late, it will not be too late by a few days.

Before that, he might be able to cultivate his Greedy Wolf Seven Killing Fist to the second level, and by then his own strength would definitely be greatly improved.

Pushing the wheelbarrow back into the camp, Chen Mo picked up a shovel and started shoveling snow again.

The snow that fell two days ago was very thick, up to a person's calf depth. They have to shovel it away now, otherwise it will be even more difficult to shovel it away later.

The small ditch where the snow was piled was not far from the military camp. It had dried up long ago, so they could safely dump the snow into it.

The personal soldiers who remain in the military camp today, even if they have not practiced martial arts, have a strength of at least two to three hundred pounds, and are definitely strong men.

So the movements were extremely fast, and truckloads of snow were sent out of the military camp.

The dry creek is piled up with snow. With so much snow piled up together, it may not melt away even in spring.

"Brothers, the kitchen will make dumplings at noon today. Let's have a simple meal at noon and then have a good meal in the evening." A cook came over and shouted with laughter.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Today is New Year's Eve and tomorrow is New Year's Day.

Today, even at ordinary people's homes, they will try their best to prepare a table of better dishes for the New Year.

Although the cooking skills of the firemen in the personal guard camp were not very good, they still tried their best to prepare as many dishes as possible today.

"Okay!" Chen Mo was the first to agree. He put down the shovel in his hand and ran straight to the kitchen.

According to the rules of Xingyuan Prefecture, dumplings must be eaten on New Year's Eve, but not at night but at noon.

The dumplings come with two fillings, beef and radish and pork and chives.

Everything in the military is based on practicality and ruggedness, so the dumplings are not small, each one is about the size of two or three copper coins.

Chen Mo first brought four large plates, each with seventeen or eighteen dumplings. He ate two plates first and let the other two cool.

He grabbed a few more garlic cloves and poured a bowl of aged vinegar.

By the time the other guards arrived, Chen Mo had already finished two plates. The cook in charge of cooking the dumplings was still bringing out plates of dumplings.

It is also a good job for auxiliary soldiers to work in this personal guard camp. If the personal guards live well, the lives of these auxiliary soldiers will be much better than those of ordinary soldiers outside.

Especially the cooks who can help in the kitchen, they eat whatever the personal soldiers eat, and their lives are better than those of the small landlords outside.

Chen Mo ate five plates of dumplings first, then untied his belt and ate two more plates, then sat for a while to digest the food.

He picked up two more plates of dumplings and prepared to go back for afternoon tea.

Everyone was already accustomed to this situation. There were many people in this military camp who could eat, but Chen Mo was indeed the only one who could eat as much as he could.

Everyone may be surprised by this at first, but you will get used to it after seeing it more often.

However, before knowing that Chen Mo had killed seventeen or eighteen people quietly, everyone just thought he was honest and simple.

After knowing this, in most people's minds, Chen Mo has established an image of a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.

He fled and begged for survival all the way from Qingzhou to Xingyuan Prefecture in Dingzhou, and killed seventeen or eighteen people on the way. No matter how you look at it, this was not an easy task.

Even some veterans dare not say that they can definitely accomplish this.

Since Chen Mo can do this, it is enough to prove that he is definitely not as honest and simple as he looks on the surface. At least he is definitely not easy to mess with.

Chen Mo stored the dumplings back into the house and continued shoveling snow till the afternoon. It took him more than an hour to basically clear the snow.

After shoveling the snow, Chen Mo returned to his barracks and ate the two plates of dumplings that were still warm.

The remaining soldiers now lived in the same row of barracks. Several stoves were lit in the barracks, making it as warm as spring compared to the outside world.

Moreover, this heater is directly connected to the outside world with a high-quality iron pipe, which discharges the smoke directly, so there is no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning.

The New Year's Eve dinner was better than ever. We couldn't finish it at all. We could eat leftovers, lots of leftovers, for the next few days.

The next day, New Year's Day, General Sun returned from the city on horseback. He gave red envelopes to his soldiers who were unable to go home for the New Year, chatted with them for a while, and then left.

In the following period of time, Chen Mo's life did not change much from the past, except that he ate better and did not give up his daily practice and training.

The main reason was that he really had nothing to do. He didn't want to drink and gamble with other soldiers. He had nothing to do all day, so he could only do some training to kill time.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. One day when Chen Mo was practicing, he clearly felt a throbbing in his body.

This is a sign that the Greedy Wolf Seven Killings Fist is about to break through. As a very simple external martial art, there is no such thing as a chance or destiny to achieve a breakthrough with the Greedy Wolf Seven Killings Fist.

As long as you work hard and practice diligently, you will naturally achieve breakthroughs.

Chen Mo's legs were like the roots of an old tree deeply rooted in the ground. In his perception, there was originally only one blood and qi ball, but now it gradually turned into two.

Every time he practices from now on, the effect will be twice as great as before.

Not only that, Chen Mo could clearly feel that after the second qi and blood ball was condensed, his own qi and blood became more invigorated.

The effect of each subsequent practice will be twice as great as the previous one.

This martial art will not bring any improvement to the warrior when he breaks through. All improvements come from daily practice.

A breakthrough is just a means to break free from the shackles. When a warrior continues to practice after reaching a bottleneck, his Qi and blood will begin to accumulate and gradually condense into a new Qi and blood mass in his body.

Only when a ball of Qi and blood is formed, can a warrior break through the barrier of the next level and be able to gain improvement in the subsequent practice.

Carefully feeling the energy and blood surging in his body after his breakthrough, Chen Mo then focused his mind on the Transformation Pearl.

The originally transparent and colorless Transformation Pearl was almost turning completely red.

"I think it would only take a few days for it to be reborn."
