His words did not escape Xu Lao's ears, and he asked, "Little brother, what else do you have important matters?"

Nie Feng didn't hide it, and said, "I'm going to Xuantian Academy." When Xu Lao heard this, he fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "I don't know if the little brother has checked his body?"

When Nie Feng heard this, his heart sank, and a bad premonition came to his face, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with my body?"

"You have been injured by the White Tiger's golden qi, which has invaded your five internal organs, destroyed the meridians of your body, and even shattered your dantian qi sea. Xu Lao paused and continued: "I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate anymore in the future. ”

Nie Feng's face turned pale, if he couldn't cultivate, how to avenge the fathers and villagers of Shi Village, and how to treat Shi Hao.

He turned over with difficulty, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and looked inward, and sure enough, as Xu Lao said, his body was mixed with a little golden light, which absorbed the Xuan Qi that entered his body, and slowly increased.

And his meridians, five zhang, six intestines, and dantian were all in a broken state, and at the broken point, those pale golden rays even condensed into liquid, preventing his body from recovering.

The only thing that gave Nie Feng some hope was that the three-thread Pangu divine power he had worked hard to cultivate was still floating everywhere in his body, and the pale golden light in his body could not affect it in the slightest, and when these three-threaded Pangu divine power floated to the wounds in his body, it would repair his body and allow the wounds to heal, and then the Pangu divine power would dim, and then absorb the golden qi and become full and bright again.

However, the speed at which Pangu's divine power absorbed the Golden Evil Qi was very slow, far from catching up with the speed at which the Golden Evil Qi absorbed the growth of the Mysterious Force. Nie Feng felt that when this golden evil qi eroded his whole body, it was when he died. He slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Lao saw Nie Feng open his eyes and comforted: "It's okay if you can't cultivate, it's okay to be an ordinary person and live a short life happily." Nie Feng shook his head and said firmly: "I must go to Xuantian Academy, I must be successful in cultivation, I believe that there is no way to find a way." ”

When Elder Xu heard Nie Feng's firm words, he couldn't help but be moved, but he still said regretfully: "I'm afraid you won't be able to enter Xuantian Academy?" Nie Feng asked anxiously: "Why? Isn't Xuantian Academy not looking at qualifications and talents? As long as you have the Xuantian Order, you can enter?"

"Although Xuantian Academy doesn't look at qualifications and talents, the threshold is not much lower than the other four major academies. It has a ladder to climb the heavens to check a person's Dao heart and will, if the Dao heart and will are not up to the mark, it is impossible to enter the Xuantian Academy, and the number of people who fall on this threshold every year is not very large. Xu Lao explained.

He paused and continued: "I believe that your will and Dao heart can pass the test, after all, you have survived such a serious injury. But Xuantian Academy's enrollment starts tomorrow, and your current physical condition doesn't allow you to climb the ladder at all. ”

Nie Feng closed his eyes and said in an inaudible voice, "Isn't there another day?" I believe I can stand up. "Hey!" Xu Lao sighed and said, "You can be quiet and cultivate your body first, if you really can't do it, you can go with me, I know a lot of people from Danzong, see if they have a way Xu Lao stood up, pushed open the door and walked out."

He first proposed to save Nie Feng, but it was just a sudden rise, just like a person who saw an ant on the side of the road looking for something to eat, and when he rose, he threw a grain of rice to it. However, Nie Feng later won the little girl's approval and survived this mortal injury, which couldn't help but impress him.

After Xu Lao went out, Nie Feng opened his eyes, he slowly raised his right hand, picked up the coat placed at the head of the bed with great difficulty, put it on, and then stood up with the bed. His time is precious, and he doesn't have the right to lie in bed like a waste, killing it.

Even though he didn't know what he could do when he got up, he still firmly believed that he should stand up, his life would not stop, he would not stop fighting, he was not dead, why should he lie down?

Chirping!

Nie Feng opened the door with difficulty, and a shadow imprinted into his eyes, the person in the courtyard was dressed in white and fluttering, with ice muscles and jade bones, but she gave Nie Feng the feeling of cold, the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, if it was matched with the four swords of red and blue black and white that she was carrying behind her back, she would despair for this coldness. Ying Ling turned around and frowned when she saw Nie Feng looking at her stupidly, I don't know why, as soon as she saw Nie Feng, she felt that her ruthless killing path seemed to be broken, and there were a lot of unnecessary emotions on her body, such as anger.

The two of them looked at each other like this, as if they wanted to see the sea dry and rotten. Nie Feng felt that his silent heart seemed to be alive again, and he couldn't help but "knock knock" straight up, this feeling was only in his previous life high school, and the day after he didn't dare to confess, Xuantian Academy recruited students once every ten years. There is no imagined crowd of people, because although Xuantian Academy is one of the five major colleges in the Xuan Realm, the way it recruits students is completely different from the other four major academies.

The other four major academies recruit students, and their qualifications and talents are indispensable, so the students who go to study in the four academies are all peerless geniuses who have been screened out layer by layer. But even if he is a peerless genius, with the huge population base of the Xuan Realm, tens of thousands of people go to the four major academies to study every year.

And Xuantian Academy recruits students, emphasizing chance and perseverance. The so-called chance is the Xuantian Order, every ten years, Xuantian Academy will randomly issue 10,000 Xuantian Orders to the entire Xuantian Realm, as long as the ten-year period expires, no matter who comes to Tianzhu City with the Xuantian Order, they can obtain the qualification for the entrance test of Xuantian Academy. The so-called perseverance is to climb the ladder to the sky, as long as you climb the ladder with a qualified number, you can enter the Xuantian Academy.

With tenacity and perseverance, Nie Feng got up from the bed and insisted on coming to participate in the enrollment of Xuantian Academy. Next to him stood Xu Lao and Ying Ling.

"Ahem!" Nie Feng couldn't help coughing, he wiped his lips with a white handkerchief, the snow-white handkerchief was stained red by the blood at the corner of his mouth, the red was dazzling, and there was a little golden light shining in this red.

Xu Lao asked worriedly, "You really have no problem." Nie Feng shook his head stubbornly and said, "It's okay." ”

Even Ying Ling, who didn't care about everything in the world, couldn't help but look at Nie Feng a few more times, and Nie Feng's perseverance moved her. Nie Feng looked like a dying man at this time, his face was pale and bloodless, and with every step he took, his body trembled abnormally~ trembling, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

He followed Ying Ling's side and hobbled towards the Xuantian Academy test site. The test site of Xuantian Academy is at the east gate of Tianzhu City. Tianzhu City is surrounded by thousand-zhang high city walls on three sides, and Tianzhu Mountain is directly regarded as a city wall on the east side. The so-called ladder to the heavens is said to have been carved by the dean who founded Xuantian Academy, and it is used to test the steps of the students.

At the beginning of the ladder to heaven, some young people dressed in Bagua Xuanyi were maintaining order, they were generally between the ages of eighteen and twenty, and they were the disciples of the previous class of Xuantian Academy. This is also the difference between Xuantian Academy and the other four major colleges, in Xuantian Academy, students can only study for ten years, and after ten years, they are forced to graduate, regardless of whether these students are excellent or ordinary.

When they graduate, they can choose to stay in school to become teachers or leave school directly, but it is difficult to stay in school to become teachers, and it is difficult for a maximum of a few people to succeed in each class. The requirement to become a teacher of Xuantian Academy is very simple, that is, to dig ten steps for Xuantian Academy on Tianzhu Mountain, of course, the place where the ladder is carved is directly designated by the principal.

Therefore, these Xuantian Academy students who receive new students, after today, will roll up and leave a place for this year's freshmen. Therefore, of course, the eyes of the new students will not be very friendly. Nie Feng and Ying Ling handed the Xuantian Order to the students of Xuantian Academy who were on the foot of the Heavenly Pillar and received the newcomers. The man took the Xuantian Order and looked at it, then returned the Xuantian Order to the two of them, and said indifferently: "It's true, go up, the platform above the thousand steps is the real starting point." ”

"Ahem!" Nie Feng couldn't help but cough. This person glanced at Nie Feng and said, "I'm so sick and I still want to climb the ladder, isn't it funny?" By the way, I forgot to tell you that when you cross this door, when you climb the first ladder, no one is allowed to support you, everything has to rely on yourself." Nie Feng nodded hoarsely and said, "I know." He walked slowly towards the ladder to the sky, like an old man on the verge of death.

Nie Feng stepped on the stairs, although it was very difficult, although his body was moaning in pain~ moaning, but his steps on the stairs were steady and Yingling may want to see what step Nie Feng can do, she deliberately slowed down her speed and followed Nie Feng. Perhaps because the stairs in front of it are not really climbing ladders, the construction is very gentle, and the stairs are thousands of feet wide and spread upwards, even ordinary people will not have much effort to climb this step.

But even so, it was a big challenge for Nie Feng, who was constantly eroded by the golden evil qi. Nie Feng climbed up with difficulty, a thousand steps of stairs, it took him five or six times as long as others, but fortunately, although it was difficult, he climbed up after all.

After Nie Feng and Ying Ling climbed the thousand-step ladder, they found that there were already five or six thousand people on the huge platform, and they were sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at this side in unison. After seeing Nie Feng finally climb up, someone couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this a snail? That's it, I still want to join Xuantian Academy." "That is, if you want me to say, Xuantian Academy is too lenient, such a person should not be allowed to come up directly. ”

"Haha, you're all wrong, maybe people think they're geniuses, so they end up on the stage and get eyeballs. "Just like he looks like he's about to die, I said he's a genius, do you believe it?" "Hahaha......", as soon as these words came out, many people on the platform burst into laughter and echoed: "Believe, why don't you believe it? He is a genius, and I am a demon with a special physique." ”

"Shut up!" a burst of applause, overpowering the voices of everyone present, and when everyone heard this, they subconsciously stopped talking, and all looked towards the place where the voice came from. I saw a burly young man wearing a slightly torn gossip robe, and I don't know when he appeared at the beginning of the ladder to the sky. The young man saw that everyone had turned their heads to look at them, and spoke again: "Let me tell you the rules of climbing the ladder first. ”

"The so-called ladder to the sky, of course, means to ascend to the sky in one step, and it also has the ability to climb the ladder to the sky in one step, climb the ladder to climb three thousand steps, congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to enter the Xuantian Academy, but ......" The young man continued in an aggravated tone: "But that is actually the real beginning of the ladder to the sky, do you see that tower?" He pointed to the end of the ladder behind him, the giant tower that was ~ towering into the sky continued: " This tower is called Xuantian Tower, it is one of the two treasures of Xuantian Academy, it is the place where Xuantian Academy collects books, and there are all kinds of cultivation methods in it, from the lower grade of the yellow rank to the upper grade of the heavenly rank. ”

"The Xuantian Pagoda is divided into twelve layers, the lowest level is the cultivation method of the lower grade of the Yellow Rank, and the top layer is the cultivation method of the upper grade of the Heavenly Rank, and now you have the opportunity to get the cultivation method of the upper grade of the Heavenly Rank without paying any price, climb the ladder to the sky, as long as you climb the ladder as high as the tower, you will get a chance to enter the corresponding layer and choose the cultivation method. When everyone heard this young man's speech, their breathing became heavy, their eyes became red, and the Heavenly Rank was the foundation for them to become strong in the future.

The voice of the young man over there raised again: "Now, when the people who began to climb the ladder platform heard the young man say that they started, they rushed towards the top of the steps, for fear that if they were slow, the exercises of the top grade of the heavenly ladder would be taken away by others." Seeing everyone's appearance, the young man couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a secret smile: "It's true that there are Heavenly Rank Exercises in this tower, and many people have also obtained them for millions of years, but none of them were taken away in the entrance test. For thousands of years, no one has ever climbed the same level as the Xuantian Pagoda during the entrance test. ”

Nie Feng and Ying Ling were still walking at the back, and they slowly walked to the bottom of the ladder. The young man looked at the two of them, no, at Nie Feng, and encouraged: "Good luck, I hope you can enter Xuantian Academy." "Xuantian Academy values perseverance, and never values talent, because there are things in Xuantian Academy that increase talent, and that thing has to be obtained by perseverance. Therefore, Nie Feng dragged Chongchuang and came to participate in the entrance test of Xuantian Academy, which made the young man look high.

Nie Feng was slightly stunned, he heard too much ridicule along the way, but he didn't expect to be able to hear encouragement from this young man's mouth, he replied softly: "Thank you, you are very special, you are the first person to encourage me." The young man smiled and said, "If you succeed in entering Xuantian Academy, you will find that the people in the real Xuantian Academy are very special, at least they are all people with perseverance. "I'm looking forward to it. Nie Feng smiled at the young man and stepped onto the stairs.

As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he felt his body weigh heavily, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "No wonder Xuantian Academy will use climbing this staircase as an entrance exam, I know it's not that simple." "Life is endless, fighting is endless, this ladder to the sky is not a different kind of battle.

The first step up the ladder and the battle begins. The young man watched Nie Feng ascend the ladder, although his body shook a little, but the soles of his feet were firmly glued to the ladder, and he couldn't help but nod.

Ying Ling couldn't help but look sideways at Nie Feng, looking at Nie Feng with a little more strangeness, although the gravity of this ladder was nothing to her, but she knew how badly Nie Feng's injuries were, if it was an ordinary person, let alone standing up, even if he would not die of serious injuries, he would be killed by pain.
