Chapter 15: Selection of the Royal Academy

The group recuperated in the Demon Beast Mountain Range for a few days, and only when they were able to move freely did they decide to go down the mountain and return. The people of the Mo family did not leave early, but acted as the "caretaker" of the Lei Zhan mercenary group, during which several groups of demon beasts broke into the camp, and it was Mo Xiao who expelled them, which made everyone very grateful and a little embarrassed. After all, due to this, the "experience" purpose of the three young juniors of the Mo family had to end hastily.

Because of the injury, the speed of going down the mountain is bound to be much slower than when it comes, and along the way, it is necessary to try to avoid some areas where monsters frequently appear, go around and around, and it took nearly three days to get out of the monster mountain range.

And at the moment when he stepped out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and saw the light of day again, Xuan Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that he had actually advanced to the Seventh Rank Qi Spirit Realm. This news made everyone present very happy.

Xiao Zhen and Yue Feng praised one by one, and the girl Mo Qinghan smiled even more charmingly.

While Mo Ling congratulated, his gaze towards Xuan Chen unconsciously underwent some strange changes.

Xuanchen's origin is still an unsolved mystery, but in the past, the Mo family was naturally disdainful and just an ordinary man. Even if there is a battle at the temple fair, it is at most impressive, and it is far from being taken seriously.

But now it's different, their ears and eyes understand that Xuan Chen has only stepped into the martial realm for a few days, but now he has actually jumped to the seventh stage of the Qi Spirit Realm, and the speed of this change is really terrifying. Mainly, he is younger than Mo Ling and Mo Qinghe.

Mo Ling and Mo Xiao glanced at each other, and they began to be interested in the origin of the young man in front of them.

It's just the surname "Xuan", they don't have this impression. However, it is also reasonable, the territory of the Sunset Country is vast, and their knowledge is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is not surprising that they are unfamiliar.

Mo Ling said goodbye to Xuanchen and his party at the foot of the mountain.

"Don't leave it at that, we still need to rush back to the family to get back to life. They have been out for a long time, so that they will not be worried about the patriarchs. Mo Ling said.

"Thank you for your escort, Lei Xing is very grateful. In the future, as long as the Mo family needs it, the Lei Zhan mercenary group will go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will not hesitate to do so. Lei Xingzheng said generously.

"Captain Lei Xing said seriously. Mo Ling said, and immediately looked at Xuanchen, "A year later, it will be the quota selection competition of the Royal Academy of the Sunset Kingdom, and the Xuanchen brothers should participate, right?"

Everyone looked at Xuan Chen, as if they were very interested in Mo Ling's inquiry.

The Royal Academy of the Sunset Kingdom recruits students every three years, and there are seven places in the Far North City. In the past, almost all of the seven places in each session were occupied by the Mu family and the Mo family, and the expected result of the next session would be the same, but the sudden killing of Xuanchen broke into their sight. Although the gap between Xuanchen's current strength and the top young handsome man of a family like Mo Ling is still not small, the potential that Xuanchen is showing now is something they dare not underestimate.

"Will you participate?" Mo Qinghan said with a smile, "I will participate." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and their smiles were very exciting. are all a group of big men, and this ambiguous atmosphere is the most enjoyable to watch.

"Ahem...... Mo Xiao coughed lightly twice and said, "Qinghan, it is someone's choice to participate or not, so you don't have to interfere." ”

Mo Ling touched the bridge of his nose, it was interesting.

Xuanchen didn't have time to answer, and the girl didn't have time to get an answer

Mo Xiao urged, "Let's go." ”

"Goodbye, everyone. Lei Xing hugged his hands and said.

"Goodbye. Mo Ling returned the salute.

Mo Qinghan grimaced at Mo Xiao indignantly, and finally waved his hand to Xuan Chen: "Goodbye." ”

When Mo Xiao and they walked away, Lei Xing put his elbow on the top of Xiao Scar and said, "Hey, you seem to have picked up a treasure." ”

"I think so too. Xiao Zhen was noncommittal.

"Haha. The crowd laughed in unison.

Only Xuanchen stood in place, neither advancing nor retreating, and his brain was blank.

After returning to Yaobei City, Xuan Chen learned that the employer of this mission was the Lan Auction House.

It is said that the Lan Clan Auction House in the Far North City can extend upwards to the Lan Family in the Imperial City of the Sunset Kingdom, and it is only one of the last of the thousands of branches of the Lan Family.

The Lan family is ranked,.

The Lan clan is famous for being an intermediate auctioneer, and is also famous for forging soldiers and forging armor, ranking among the four major families of the Sunset Kingdom, and its strength is unimaginable. Many of the empire's high-grade divine weapons are now mostly from the hands of the Lan Clan's forgers. To say that the Lan family is rich in the world is really not a boast.

And the current president of the Lan Clan Auction House in Yaobei City is a well-deserved No. 1 powerhouse in Yaobei City, and his strength is already at the level of a nine-stage martial artist, and he is one step away from winning the realm of military generals.

The wealth is as large as their Lan Auction House, and the commission given is naturally quite generous, a full 20,000 gold. It's worth the sum of three or four hires in normal times.

didn't have time to receive the commission, Xuanchen and Xiao Zhen said goodbye to the team first and rushed home first. This mission took much longer than expected, and they were afraid that Lin Qing was worried.

When she returned home, Lin Qing was packing up her clothes to dry, but she was raising her hand, her brows wrinkled involuntarily, and her expression was slightly bitter. It should be because when the arm is raised, it involves the instinctive reaction of a dark disease or wound on the body.

What's even more strange is that when Lin Qing took off her clothes to dry and was about to return to the house, she only turned around, and she actually took two steps, and her movements were extremely slow and careful. Her feet seemed to hurt as well.

All of this is seen by Xuanchen, who has a keen perception.

"Mother, we're back. Xuanchen pretended to be complacent.

Lin Qing was startled at first, and then quickly smiled and greeted Xuanchen, she walked over, her steps became natural, but she trembled slightly, and the amplitude was suppressed extremely slightly, which was not easy to detect with the naked eye.

"Chen'er, why have you been there for so long, are you okay? It really worries me!" Lin Qing looked left and right at Xuanchen and asked earnestly.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Xiao Zhen asked first.

Hearing this, Lin Qing stroked the hair scattered around her ears, and said with a smile: "Oh, I accidentally knocked it two days ago, it's okay." ”

Xiao Zhen just wanted to ask something, but after Lin Qing swept over with a vague look, he immediately dispelled his thoughts, changed his voice and reminded softly: "Be careful next time, it's such a big person." ”

"Well, it's okay, I've already been drugged. Lin Qing nodded.

But this little action of the two of them secretly, how can they hide from Xuanchen, whose mental sharpness far exceeds that of ordinary people?

Xuan Chen's eyes were slightly cold, but he also hid it and did not let the couple notice it. Lin Qing must have hidden something. The wound was at the humerus of the arm, not at the joint, and it was definitely not caused by an accidental collision, but rather a hard kick. Xuanchen also sensed with his telekinesis that Lin Qing still had no less than four or five injuries on his thighs, knees, and ankles, which were extremely serious and almost hurt his muscles and bones.

The person who did it not only wanted her to taste the pain of flesh and skin, but also humiliated her and made her kneel!

"Chen'er, you must be hungry all the way, you go back to the house to rest first, and I'll cook you something to eat." Lin Qing touched Xuanchen's head and said gently.

"Hmm. Xuan Chen replied with a smile and walked towards his room.

After the door of Xuanchen's room was tightly closed, the pain that Lin Qing had suppressed for a long time instantly rebounded, and he almost fell to the ground unsteadily.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhen's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly helped her to walk towards the room of the two.

They closed the door and began to talk in low voices.

"What's going on?" Xiao Zhen asked as he helped Lin Qing to the bed and sat down.

"Hey, the day you just left, when I went to the temple fair, I didn't expect to meet someone from the Mu family, so I ...... Hey, don't worry, I'm fine, no skin injuries don't matter, as long as this matter can be settled, I'm also happy. By the way, you still have the kind of healing medicine you often bring with you when you go into the mountains, give me some, it's not a matter of always pretending, and it is inevitable that you will accidentally show your stuffing to Chen'er. ”

"There's still a little left, I'll go back to the pharmacy and buy some back. Xiao Zhen took out a jade bottle from his arms, and then asked her to open the wound and prepare to give her medicine, "But if you want to calm down this matter, I'm just afraid of it...... Difficult. ”

Xiao Zhen began to tell Lin Qing about what happened to the group in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the Mu family.

Xuan Chen retracted his mental power and slammed his fist on the floor.

"It's the Mu family again!"

Xuanchen could probably think of it, the cause of this incident should be small, and the main crux should be that they injured Mu Hai, they couldn't swallow this breath, so they took revenge on Lin Qing.

"Want revenge?" suddenly heard the voice of the sword spirit from the ring.

"Nonsense!" Xuan Chen said impatiently.

"Yo, are you still angry?" the sword spirit floated out, "What's the matter? blame me for suddenly pretending to be dead when those people from the Mu family appeared?"

"I didn't!" Xuan Chen said, but the anger on his immature face was not well concealed, and it was broken at a glance. Xuan Chen knew in his heart that the sword spirit was helping him out of kindness, and it was understandable not to help him, but he didn't complain about his inaction. It's just that now Lin Qing is a simple-hearted teenager because he was bullied by the Mu family, and it is difficult to control the emotions in his heart all of a sudden.

The sword spirit used his arm as a pillow, lay in the air, and said with a smile: "Either you are weak, the three people of the Mu family landed on the front foot, and the people of the Mo family followed on the back foot." Didn't you hear the people of the Mo family say that they have been keeping an eye on the movements of the three people of the Mu family?"

"You already knew?" asked Xuanchen in disbelief.

"Little guy, with your little mental strength, you can be a mountain king in front of a group of Zhang Jia and Li Yi, compared to the uncle...... Forget it, I won't provoke you with words at this time, beware of being angry with you. In short, let's cultivate again. Sword Spirit pouted.

was devalued as worthless, Xuanchen was not annoyed, and he didn't have the extra heart to talk to it now.

"Actually, it's not easy for you to clean up the Mu family, ask the person next to you to help you, a small Mu family is easier than pinching an ant to death. The sword spirit cocked Erlang's legs again and said.

"I can solve the Mu family by myself, and I don't have to trouble others. If it doesn't work now, I will definitely be able to do it in the future, if the martial artist can't do it, I will cultivate to the martial master, and if the martial artist can't do it, I will cultivate to the general, in short, sooner or later, I will ask them for justice!" Xuan Chen clenched his fists and made a loud noise.

Xuanchen knew that it was talking about Bai Xuan, and Xuanchen also knew that Bai Xuan was very strong. But Xuanchen never wanted to ask him for help until he had to, no matter how smooth and bumpy the martial arts road was, it was his own way after all, and he couldn't step on a pit and fall and he had to be helped by someone to get up, if he wanted to use the external forces around him to achieve the desired goal in everything, then what was left of his martial arts?

The teenager is weak now, but not stupid.

Besides, Bai Xuan had no reason to help him.

"Quite backbone. The Sword Spirit smiled and said, "Well, it's a cheap bone. ”

Xuan Chen ignored Sword Spirit's sarcasm and asked, "Don't just talk about others, I also want to ask you why you helped me at that time." ”

The sword spirit changed his posture and reclined instead, supporting his head with his right hand, as if this would make him more comfortable, "Let's take it as if I sucked your spiritual power last time." ”

"Then we'll settle it. Xuanchen said.

The sword spirit was silent and acquiesced.

Xuanchen saw that the sword spirit did not respond, and he didn't know what to say for a while, the picture was slightly quiet, and he was silent for a while.

"By the way, how can we say that we know each other, I don't know what your name is?" Xuan Chen asked suddenly.

"What's it called?" Sword Spirit's eyes changed silently, "What's the use of this name, I've forgotten it, what am I remembering it for?"

"Forgot?" Xuan Chen asked, "How can this be forgotten?"

The corners of Sword Spirit's mouth suddenly pouted with a wry smile, and said, "I can't remember, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?" Come on, come on, uncle, I want to see what you stinky boy is not happy about!"

Facing the sword spirit's faintly angry questioning, Xuan Chen seemed unusually calm, because he seemed to see a touch of awakened gray in the depths of the sword spirit's eyes, and the sword spirit at this moment was very lost. It was his own unintentional words that awakened the gray.

Xuan Chen scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I don't mean anything else, really, don't get me wrong." ”

Xuan Chen looked at the sword spirit whose expression gradually calmed down, and said very seriously: "I just think that since we are all friends, we can't ...... I don't even have a name, but I always feel weird like that. ”

The sword spirit of the phantom villain curled the corners of his mouth, smiled playfully, and said, "Friend, I didn't say I wanted to be friends with you." ”

"I didn't say no, it doesn't mean I can't. The young man smiled and said, "Everything has a beginning, there are two to have one, there are two to three, and there are three...... In short, there are too many to count. ”

The sword spirit was suddenly stunned.

The sword spirit who has been wandering in the long river of time for countless years, all kinds of red and dust in the world, whether it is ordinary joys and sorrows, or miserable life and death. Some people have a great opportunity and become a dragon overnight, and some people have worked hard for thousands of years, but they have been reduced to ordinary people only because of a change, and they have become ordinary people, and the road is hopeless. In his eyes, these singing and crying pictures of mountains and rivers are just a passing cloud of extremely boring scenes.

When it saw the young man's innocent and immaculate eyes again, it suddenly remembered the pair of long, long, stubborn eyes from a long, long time ago.

——

"I'm going to kill them!"

"But we can't beat them. ”

The tattered and bruised teenager walked in a dim alley full of chicken droppings and dog shit, his face full of anger and hatred. Next to his ears, there was a white mist floating in it, and there was a child-like phantom villain in the white mist.

The boy kicked a broken bowl in front of him and flew away, hitting the wall and falling apart. The young man gritted his bloodshot teeth and said, "I can't kill them now, I must kill them in the future, kill them all, and leave no one behind!"

The childish phantom villain nodded his little head vigorously, "Later, later." ”

From that day on, the boy and the phantom villain left their homeland, and with the sword in their hands, they fought a way to the sky.

Years later, the boy returned to his homeland and killed all the people in the island town where his mother had been killed, including women, children, and women.

From this day on, the boy is no longer a teenager, he is a young man in the wind of Yushu, and the phantom villain is no longer a child, but an unruly teenager.

The sword spirit was formed at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, and it is unparalleled in ancient times.

After sleeping for thousands of years, he woke up in the encounter of fate.

The killing is strong, the most killing, there are countless blades in the world, all bow down and surrender, and respect it!

——

The sword spirit ended reminiscing about the past, retracted his gaze, and no longer looked at the young man in front of him,

"Whatever you want. The sword spirit waved his hand and said, "But if your purpose is to get me to help you with your life, then I advise you to take back what you just said as soon as possible." ”

"Your thoughts are too dark, aren't they? Xuan Chen said with a shout, but his eyes were full of laughter, and he was a joke of the sword spirit, "No, you are not a 'human'." ”

"Cut!" the sword spirit pursed his lips and quickly swept back the ring.

"Silence means acquiescence, you don't say anything, you agree. Xuanchen said to Najie. There was no response from inside, but Xuan Chen knew that the sword spirit must have heard it.

Xuan Chen continued, looking up in thought, and muttering to himself, "I remember the first time we met, you threatened that you could end my life with just one thought. Well...... Or I'll call you 'One Thought.'" ”

Na Ring was still quiet and did not respond.

"Now, if you don't speak, I'll let you agree again. Xuanchen pointed to Najie and said, his eyes were completely childlike excitement, because today was the first time he mentioned the word "friend".

"'One thought', I think it's a good name. Xuanchen repeatedly recited the name of his whim, and the smile on his face lingered for a long time, feeling that it was really good, not only smooth, but also with a deep meaning.

In the ring, in the red beads on the rusty sword, the sword spirit floated in the space here, and the chatter of the young man outside kept echoing in his ears, and unconsciously, he actually laughed.

"Oh, this little guy is so interesting. ”

In front of its eyes, a scene emerged, in which countless corpses were piled up and flowing blood meandered into a river.

On the top of the corpse mountain, there is a person and a sword, and the blood is not stained, but it is a killing god.

Time passed, I don't know how many years passed, the blood had dried up, the corpse had withered bones, but the man was gone, only the sword remained.

It stood in this world, and it was alone from then on.
