Volume II: Chapter 40: The Duel Conference
In the world of black iron, martial arts are ever-changing, and the cultivation paths are not the same. After thousands of years of development, many ancient divine techniques have been lost, but some have survived. Among them, the two major cultivation methods with the theme of the Eastern Qi Control Technique and the Western Technique have gradually become the mainstream.
Professor Huang Song gave Xue Zong the most basic qi and perception.
Xue Zong practiced extremely the first day, getting up before dawn and practicing for a day, until late at night. On the second day, he began to encourage himself, saying that he would persevere, and on the third day, the attitude of the entire senior high school students in the face of the college entrance examination was miserable.
If the hard work can pay off, it may still be persevere, but if you work hard and find that the test score is not as high as the original gag all day, it will be a huge blow.
Since worshipping Huang Song as a teacher, Xue Zong thought that he would teach himself some whimsical and unparalleled tricks, after all, he crossed over to be the protagonist, but what he never expected was that he had to start practicing basic skills such as moving stones and Zama steps!
Xue Zong once asked Huang Song, he still felt very good about himself, after all, he could have a tie with the apprentices of the twelve generals, but Huang Song always kept a straight face and ignored it.
God, why am I so hard, I was just a waste wood in the original world, but I didn't expect that after going through hardships and dangers to the new world, I would still be a waste of wood! In this case, what is the meaning of living? Xue Zong pondered the meaning of life and the existence of oneself in the process of repeatedly carrying stones up the mountain again and again.
On the fourth day, Xue Zong finally couldn't hold it anymore, his headache was like it was about to burst, his limbs no longer hurt, and he couldn't even feel the existence of his limbs.
Oh my God, who's going to save the kids!
"Hey, Xue Zong, stop practicing, let's play. The girl's melodious voice like a silver bell came into Xue Zong's numb mind, as if the water of chaos was suddenly injected into a clear stream, and he was refreshed.
Xue Zong looked back, and the leaves not far away were dressed in white, with long hair and shawls, extremely delicate and unforgiving. Holding a delicate food box in his hand, the slightest aroma of the food went straight to Xue Zong's nose.
Following Huang Song's cultivation in this mountain forest and eating vegetarian every day, Xue Zong had already salivated when he smelled the aroma of the food at this time.
Xue Zong put the stone aside, trotted to the front of the leaf, opened his hands, and his eyes were obsessed, like a hungry tiger pounced on food. Ye Zi was surprised, couldn't it be that he had gone crazy in practice, why did he seem to want to eat me.
How do you know that Xue Zong pounced forward, reached out and grabbed the food box in Ye Zi's hand, and knocked the lid of the box away with one palm, and saw that there was a roast chicken, four dishes of side dishes, eight steamed buns, and a pot of good wine.
Xue Zong was grateful, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said "Ula Ula" in bird language that no one could understand while eating, probably to express his gratitude.
Xue Zong, who was sitting on the ground and gobbling up, grabbed the steamed bun with two black hands covered with dirt and took out five black marks, seeing him so embarrassed, Ye Zi laughed and laughed, just like a child.
"Big brother, I know that you are practicing martial arts, and those who don't know think that you are a slave who has been trafficked, it's only been a few days, how can you be like this. “
"Wow, wow......" Xue Zong choked on half a steamed bun and a chicken leg in his mouth, he couldn't hear anything clearly, he quickly took a few sips of wine, swallowed the food, and then he could hear what he said, "Yezi, where have you been in the past few days, why do you only think of your eldest brother now, it's too unrighteous." ”
The autumn waves flowed, smiling and spring, Ye Zi did not answer in a hurry, but took out two white jade wine glasses from the box, took the wine jug and filled it, and whispered: "What, I thought that the eldest brother must be annoying to me, so why bother to be boring?"
"Hey, it's a little annoying, but if you bring me food every day, I will reluctantly allow you to come. “
"Hehe......" Ye Zi rolled his eyes, "I still don't have to, why should I bother with this." “
"Eh, Yezi, let's come every day, your cooking is much better than my master's. Before the words fell, someone behind the two of them accosted him, and his voice was like a bell: "Since you are not satisfied with being a teacher, pack up your things and leave as soon as possible, I don't have such a wretched apprentice like you, and I will be the one who will throw me Huang Song." ”
When Xue Zong heard this, his face changed greatly, when did this old man come, this time it was miserable. Ye Zi didn't think so, there was still a smile on his delicate face: "I said Huang Song, you don't practice like this, my eldest brother is not an animal, where is there a reason to carry such a heavy stone?"
"Girl, if you suffer hardship, you will be a master, such a simple truth, Ye Xiaotian has not taught you?"
"I have taught, I have taught, but my father said that those who will only let apprentices practice martial arts to the death but do not talk about methods are mediocre masters. “
"Hey," Huang Song sighed, "It's a pity that Ye Xiaotian is so wise and unreasonable." ”
"What if I'm arrogant and unreasonable, it's good if someone is happy, and I didn't say I want everyone to like me. By the way, not much to say, the princess has something to do with Xue Zong, I think even you can't stop it. ”
After speaking, he ignored Huang Song's ugly expression, and pulled Xue Zong and ran. shouted while running, urging Xue Zong to leave quickly.
When he entered the city of Athens, Xue Zong knew that he had fallen for the leaves again. Where is the princess summoned, it is clear that this little girl is bored alone and is just looking for someone to relieve her boredom.
Today's city of Athens is different from the past, the streets are full of people, bustling, and citizens are talking and laughing and rushing to the Athenian gladiatorial arena. Today is the annual dueling tournament in Athens, when all the warriors of Athens will participate in competitions and duels, and the first place winner will be richly rewarded.
This is a tradition in Athens, the elders and nobles, as well as the princesses will participate, and the patriarchs of various clans will also send rookies to participate in the competition, and the winner will naturally be able to shine in front of each family.
Ye Zi lied and pulled Xue Zong to come, just to accompany her to see the excitement.
The two followed the crowd into the dueling arena and happened to meet Chang Da, the chief of the guard. Princess Amoxys once instructed the guards that if they met Xue Zong, they must invite him to their VIP box.
Xue Zong and Ye Zi had never seen such a grand and prosperous scene, they were playful, and they had long been intoxicated by it, and when they heard that the princess had summoned them, they were naturally full of joy. The two followed Changda into a spacious and bright box, the interior was extremely luxurious, with a large red carpet on the floor, and two white stone thrones placed side by side in front of the stands, but the princesses Amoxys and Rudalie were seated.
Amosis's lilac eyes were still cold and melancholy, the day before yesterday, she had just accepted the request of the head of the Ruda family and was engaged to Rudale. It's just that this matter has not been released to the public for the time being.
Rudalel was regarded as the first warrior of Athens, unsurpassed in martial arts, and he relied on his family power to ask the princess for marriage many times. Socrates, the former minister of the interior of Athens, strongly objected, deducing that the princess was still young and that it was not in line with the etiquette law to schedule in advance, and that the princess should wait for the princess to reach adulthood in the future, and then hold a jousting tournament in all Athens according to the ancient law, and the winner would become the first warrior of Athens and marry the princess.
However, the other three ethnic groups have been short of talents in recent years, and it can be said that they are in short supply. There was a lack of talent among the younger generation who could take the lead, and the power of Athens gradually fell into the hands of the Rudas. This is also the reason behind why Rudalie dared to propose marriage many times.
Seeing that there was movement at the door of the house, Lu Dalie stood up and turned his head to look, and happened to meet Xue Zong's eyes.
