Hanzhu City Vocational College.

Office of the Dean of the Martial Arts Department.

Xiao Mu was a strong man in the last era, he was the commander of the Northern Legion of the Xingzhu Empire in his early years, and his martial arts cultivation was unfathomable, until he was old, he was a general who made the Northern Orc tribe talk about it.

In his old age, he was tired of fighting, so he resigned and came to the most peaceful southern border city, which was an out-and-out countryside compared to the Xingzhu Emperor, but the old man longed for a peaceful and stable life here.

After all, in the cannibalistic place of the imperial capital, it is almost impossible to be alone, and under the struggle for power, no matter how high his cultivation is, he will one day become a pawn of a big man.

So he chose to come to Hanzhu City, a place far away from the imperial capital.

"Teacher, did you really send Su Qiran out like this?" Lu Hai was the only disciple that Dean Xiao accepted after he came to Hanzhu City, but he would still call Dean Xiao Dean in front of outsiders.

"Come less. Dean Xiao rolled his eyes, "He was recommended to me by you." ”

Lu Hai sneered, "I'm just curious if you really trust him so much?" He has been in Hanzhu City for less than half a year, and I have investigated at home, and he appeared like a ghost, and there was no information about him before that, he was like a person who had no past. ”

Su Qiran is a high-level [Sword Master], this level can be regarded as a figure even in the imperial capital, it is impossible to investigate without clues, every professional is promoted to endless battles, and it is difficult to break through the limit of the level by blindly retreating.

"Either he hides his identity, or he's a spy for another country. Lu Hai said what he thought.

"Then why do you recommend him?" Dean Xiao asked with a smile.

"Temptation. Lu Hai's eyes flashed with light and shadow, don't look at him who is big and usually naïve, he was born in the Lu family, the top family in Hanzhu City, and his scheming will not be bad. "But I don't understand why you didn't send someone to spy on his movements. ”

"There is a high-level Shura by his side, and he is proficient in Void Stealth, even if I am personal, I may not be able to go undetected. Dean Xiao shook his head.

Lu Hai's eyes froze, among the professions of the martial arts department, the proportion of [assassins] who specialize in stealth and assassination is the least, because assassins need martial arts talents in [space], and there are very few people who have this kind of talent. And [Shura] is an advanced profession of [Assassin], and those who can cultivate to a high-level [Shura] have a higher status than Xiao Mu, the dean of the Vocational College in a remote city.

"It's too suspicious..."Lu Hai's vigilance against Su Qiran in his heart increased again.

"But don't worry too much. Elder Xiao took a sip of the freshly brewed tea with a comfortable look. "Do you think that his cultivation of True Qi is very special?"

Lu Hai nodded subconsciously. Martial arts cultivators will also cultivate [True Qi] when they cultivate and temper their physical bodies, and it can be said that True Qi is the step for martial arts practitioners to reach a higher level. Because this is a world with abundant magic, there are all kinds of magic in the air, so the martial arts developed in this environment also carry the shadow of the elements.

The true qi that everyone cultivates has [attributes] or [elements], and the elements generally refer to natural elements such as fire, water, and thunder, just like Lu Hai, he cultivates thunder attribute true qi, so every attack he attacks comes with the effect of thunder and lightning.

"His true qi is very special, obviously he is not an earth system, but he restrains me a lot. Lu Hai said.

Under normal circumstances, all kinds of elemental true qi are mutually reinforcing, such as water overcoming fire, earth cree...

"The true qi attribute of his cultivation is very rare, it is not fire, thunder, which is a relatively common natural attribute, that is [non-attribute true qi], which does not belong to all things and contains all things, so his true qi restrains you. Dean Xiao said slowly.

Lu Hai nodded, the most important thing in the cultivation of true qi is the exercises, everyone's suitability to various magic powers is different, it is one thing to have talent, but more importantly, the exercises, the exercises are the foundation of the cultivator, just like Lu Hai, the reason why he was able to cultivate thunder attribute true qi instead of fire attribute and the like, partly because he had the talent of thunder, and on the other hand, it was the thunder attribute exercises provided to him by his family. The latter is the most important.

Attribute-free true qi is extremely rare, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and I am afraid that even the big families in the imperial capital do not have attribute-free exercises. Su Qiran can cultivate attributeless true qi, and there must be the shadow of a high-level force behind him.

In this way, there is no need to guess the purpose and purpose of Su Qiran's coming to Hanzhu City, and those big forces are naturally not something they can participate in.

As for whether Su Qiran was a spy of a neighboring country? Lu Hai wanted to believe that as long as the people of the neighboring country were not in the water, he would definitely not let a "genius" who became a high-level sword saint before the age of twenty and at the same time cultivated the true qi of no attribute come here to be a spy, and once he was discovered, he would lose to his grandmother's family.

Lu Hai left after getting the answer he wanted, and Dean Xiao flipped through the documents on the table and sighed.

What he didn't tell Lu Hai was that he had also investigated Su Qiran.

Even if he is far away from the center of power, his connections are not comparable to those of a family in a border city like the Lu family.

He was just looking it up.

But what he didn't expect was that all his investigations had no clues, and Su Qiran appeared in Hanzhu City as if out of thin air. It's like an invisible big hand that erases everyone's memories of Su Qiran in the past.

As the largest city on the border of the Xingzhu Empire, Hanzhu City is also a commercial center, and every day, the flow of goods here is amazing.

East Street.

The East Street at night is particularly beautiful, with [Star Bamboo] planted on both sides of the street that will glow faintly at night, all kinds of vendors, endless crowds, and [Star Lanterns] light up the night.

Su Qiran led Su Xiaoxiao to stroll down the street.

"Teacher, what are we doing here?" Su Xiaoxiao looked puzzled, after the teacher came back in the afternoon, the whole person seemed to be a lot depressed, as if she had encountered something unhappy, and then pulled her out to go shopping at night without saying a word.

"Cultivation cannot be done with asceticism, and it is necessary to relax appropriately. Su Qiran said seriously.

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Ever since she met Su Qi, she hadn't seen her master meditate or practice martial arts, and she had nothing to do every day.

Su Xiaoxiao snorted dissatisfiedly, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by the vendors on the side of the street.

It was a stall selling masks, and an old man in his old age sat behind the stall, and in the light of the starlight, the faces of the people who came were hidden in the shadows, and only a little outline could be seen.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the old man and was distracted, and it wasn't until Su Qiran patted her on the shoulder that she suddenly woke up. A chill surged in her heart, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly shrank behind Su Qiran, and Su Xiaoxiao suddenly couldn't feel any temperature in the surrounding scene, as if the pedestrians on the street were phantoms.

"Uncle, how much is the mask. Su Qiran's gentle voice seemed to have magic power, and Su Xiaoxiao's pale little face slowly returned to ruddy.
