Chapter 1: Myths?
In the vast starry sky, there is a planet with thirteen continents, which are collectively known as the Xuanhuang Continent.
The Xuanhuang Continent has a population of tens of billions and six great powers are opposed.
One of the six great powers, the country of Wangu, the smallest county in the south, Nanjun.
In the capital of Zhennan County, there is a Zhennan Academy.
At this time, it was in a drill ground in Zhennan Academy.
A group of teenagers were in the training ground, shouting loudly and making one deafening killing sound after another.
They constantly wield the wooden spears in their hands, and from time to time they made various actions such as rushing, stabbing, and picking.
In that group of teenagers, there was a young man holding a wooden spear, his eyes fixed on the wooden man in front of him, and he kept using the tip of the spear to punch, stab, and pick at the vital part of the wooden man.
This young man's name was Zao Wou-ki, and his body was already wet with sweat.
Although his body was covered with sweat, which made him very uncomfortable, he still kept waving the wooden spear in his hand, making actions such as rushing, stabbing, and picking at the wooden man in front of him.
A young woman in soft armor walked through the procession, instructing the young men on the essentials of marksmanship.
I saw that the young woman's skin was as white as snow, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes were bright, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.
Standing in front of that group of young people was their instructor, Su Qingya.
In the hearts of those young men, Su Qingya was the goddess in their hearts.
She looked at the young man in front of her with satisfaction, but when she looked at Zao Wou-Ki, Dai's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She could see that Zao Wou-ki's spear was aimed at the vital throat of the wooden man, the gun was deadly, and the gun was stabbed at the throat.
"This Zao Wou-ki's eyesight is very good, just like a natural warrior! It's a pity that his cultivation is too low, even if his eyesight is good, his cultivation will go to the battlefield, and it will be impossible to pierce the throats of those barbarians! No matter how good his eyesight is, if his cultivation is low, it will be useless!"
After a while, Su Qingya told everyone.
"Guys, the basic marksmanship drill is over, now, let's start the Wind Sting!
"Yes!"
Su Qingya immediately led a group of young people to another training ground.
This time, in front of the young men, one huge stone figure after another, made of granite, appeared.
"Guys, get ready to start performing the Wind Thorn!"
Soon, Su Qingya ordered.
"Yes!"
Those young people were all excited, they were conducting basic marksmanship drills just now, they could only rely on their physical bodies to conduct marksmanship drills, and they couldn't use any martial arts and mana.
Now, they can be practiced with the help of martial energy or mana.
Zhao Wuji looked at the stone man in front of him, his brows suddenly furrowed, he couldn't help touching his nose, and his heart was lost.
In Zhennan County, the people here often have to deal with barbarian invasions, so each of them has to practice some martial arts such as swordsmanship, spearmanship, and archery that can resist the barbarian invasion, or practice some spells.
Among the three basic martial arts of swordsmanship, spearmanship, and archery, if wind spells or thunder spells are attached, their attacks will increase the power of a warrior by a lot.
But for a warrior, it is indeed very difficult to increase the power of wind spells in his three basic martial arts.
Although some warriors are born with infinite strength, they do not have a strong wind spell power of their own, or they do not have any wind spell power at all, so when they fight, they can only burst out with ordinary combat power.
Although the power of wind spells can be slowly condensed through some auxiliary treasures or some basic cultivation techniques, it is difficult to compare to those warriors who are born with wind spell powers.
Of course, there are exceptions, and the spears, swords, and longbows created by the master smiths in Zhennan County can all be infused with some wind spell power, allowing the wielder of the weapon to burst into stronger combat power.
Su Jingya stood on the high platform, and then shouted loudly to the young people.
"Today, I'm going to demonstrate the Wind Thorn! On the battlefield, you are an inch long and an inch strong, and as a warrior against the barbarians, your most commonly used weapon is the spear! The spear has a huge advantage, that is, it allows you to distance yourself from those barbarians! In fact, the weapons used by those barbarians are also spears, they are naturally powerful, good at running, and they have a great advantage in strength and speed!"
After a moment, she paused, then screamed.
"I can tell you that the barbarians' real weapon is not their spears, but their javelins! They can attack from a distance just like we use bows and arrows! When they run out of javelins, they will charge, and you will have to fight them at close quarters with their spears! When you see these stone men, they are about the size of the barbarians, and when they rush up against us, don't be afraid, you must look for their throats and use the wind thorn!"
The woman immediately took out a spear, and her body released martial energy, and a powerful momentum immediately erupted from her body.
The spear in her hand emitted a faint white light with the blessing of martial energy.
The next moment, the woman's body turned into a streamer of light and quickly rushed towards a stone figure in front of her.
As she approached the stone man, the spear in her hand quickly conjured into more than a dozen spears.
The more than a dozen spears were aimed at the stone man's throat, attacking from different directions, piercing the stone man's throat.
The young people in the audience immediately cheered, and they were all eager to try.
Soon, Su Qingya asked a group of young people to go to the training ground to practice.
The young men present immediately stepped forward one after another and aimed their wooden spears at the stone man in front of them, and cast a wind stab, and they stabbed the stone man in front of them with their wooden spears and stabbed them fiercely.
Zao Wou-Ki exerted his strength, clenched the spear in his hand, and stabbed it into the throat of a stone man.
Unlike the other young people present, the spear in his hand did not emit a faint white light, which meant that he had not yet reached the point where he could release his martial energy.
The next moment, the tip of his spear stabbed the stone man in the throat.
The tip of the spear slammed into the stone man, and a crisp sound erupted.
Then, everyone heard a click, and they saw that the wooden spear in Zao Wou-Ki's hand was broken!
"Tsk, this voice is very crisp!"
Many of the young people present laughed, and in their eyes, the shot that Zao Wou-Ki had just stabbed was weak and weak, as if he hadn't eaten.
Two years ago, Zao Wou-Ki was a hero in the hearts of many young people.
In the entrance test two years ago, Zao Wou-Ki showed a talent that frightened many young people.
But later, everyone discovered that Zao Wou-Ki's realm had been stuck in the early stage of development, and he was unable to cast any magic power at all.
At first, everyone thought that Zao Wou-Ki would become a pure martial artist.
Here in Zhennan County, there are also many pure martial arts warriors.
Although these pure martial arts warriors don't know much about spells, they can use martial energy defense to resist the opponent's spell attacks.
The stronger a martial artist's cultivation is, the stronger the defensive power of the martial energy it releases, and the more it can help it resist the opponent's spell attacks.
However, in the past two years, Zao Wou-Ki has not made any progress in his cultivation, and has always stayed in the early stage of development.
This naturally disappointed everyone, and everyone really couldn't understand why the amazing talent he had shown before seemed to be in vain in the end.
What made the young people present feel unbelievable the most was that Zao Wou-Ki had been constantly practicing basic marksmanship.
He practiced spearmanship and was so diligent that everyone concluded that he was not a lazy man.
At first, everyone felt that Zao Wou-Ki was diligent in cultivating every day and focused his energy on practicing the spear, and everyone felt that he would definitely achieve great success in the future.
But even so, Zao Wou-ki's cultivation has always stayed in the early stage of development.
Zao Wou-Ki, since then, has gone from a myth to a joke.
"Zao Wou-ki, I don't know what the reason is that your cultivation has been stuck in the early stage of development! If your cultivation can't move forward, then even if you learn the basic spear skills well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to make any progress!"
Su Qingya said with emotion.
"I don't care! It's a big deal to go home, it's not a big deal!"
Zao Wou-Ki said casually.
"Okay, then you didn't say anything!
Su Qingya hurriedly shook her head, in her heart, Zhao Wuji had already given up on her.
An hour later, Su Qingya asked the group of young people to stop.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still a month to go before the entrance examination of Zhennan Academy, and you have all studied here in Zhennan Academy for two years, in order to be able to pass this examination and become official disciples of Zhennan Academy! There are more than 12,000 students who will take the entrance examination with you, and among these more than 12,000 students, only 200 will be able to enter Zhennan Academy to continue their studies, and the rest will enter the army to join the army! I believe you all know how painful it is to serve in the army, in the army, you have to face the attack of the barbarians, and you must be vigilant and cautious at every moment! I hope that you can all successfully pass this examination and become official disciples of Zhennan Academy, otherwise, you will only have to enter the army and suffer for five years!"
Su Qingya said very seriously.
All the young people present pricked up their ears and listened very carefully.
They all knew very well in their hearts that if they couldn't pass the Zhennan Academy exam this time, then they would only be able to serve in the Zhennan Army for five years.
During these five years, it would be better if the barbarian army did not attack.
Serving in the military can be hard, but at least you won't lose your life.
If those barbarians launch a fierce attack on them, then they will only become cannon fodder, and they will lose their lives.
After Su Qingya explained some more things, she let the team disperse.
If Zao Wou-Ki is not in a hurry in his heart, it must be fake.
But Zao Wou-Ki knew very well in his heart that even if he was in a hurry, it would be useless.
"The time to decide my fate will soon come!"
Looking at the sky, Zao Wou-Ki meditated in his heart.
