Chapter Twenty-Four: Meeting the Dead
Roewe's car drove through the bustling and noisy city center of Takeo, which was full of high-rise buildings, and gradually came to the college area, and the five martial arts academies of Takeo City appeared in front of Huashang one by one.
Located closest to the city center, the Tianzhu Martial Arts Academy covers an area of 400 hectares, and its architectural style is particularly similar to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of Hua Shang. The buildings occupy a vast area, the scale is magnificent, each building is gorgeous and stretched, the atmosphere is delicate and delicate, it looks comfortable and open, and there is a feeling of sea and sky.
Covering an area of only 300 hectares, the buildings are relatively crowded, mainly wooden and bamboo buildings, pavilions and pavilions are extremely dense, there are dense slings and suspension bridges in the middle, and many buildings are built directly on the towering trees, which is very imaginative.
The architectural style of the first martial arts academy in Bac Ninh is the most simple and unpretentious, and it occupies the largest area, and the martial arts hall is connected to the practice hall.
Liancheng Martial Arts Academy, the most modern martial arts academy with the most modern architectural style, is full of strange buildings like science fiction movies from a distance, and it is said that the martial artists inside can skillfully use various high-precision instruments to monitor the indicators in their bodies and conduct targeted training.
Finally, there is the Honghu Martial Temple, which covers an area of less than 200 hectares on the surface. But it is the largest campus in the country on paper. This is because there is a 100,000-hectare heritage forest on the campus. Legend has it that this relic forest was also a former exclusion zone. A major earthquake struck 100 years ago, and the alien creatures fled, resulting in the most famous Bac Ninh Spiritual Tide in Bac Ninh's history. After the natural disaster subsided, human warriors moved into the Relic Forest, turning the forest area into human territory, which continues to this day.
Built around the relics forest, the Honghu Martial Arts Academy started from scratch, relying on the spiritual energy products and spirit beast remains harvested by the warriors in the relics forest, and accumulated enough wealth to establish a large-scale campus. However, all the while, underfunding has been a serious problem. Therefore, the campus buildings are not distinctive, and they are all found with the lowest bidders, and some can only rely on alumni donations.
After entering the campus, Huashang couldn't wait to look around, eager to find his class teaching building and apartment for accommodation.
"Don't look for it, your apartment is not here, you haven't been assigned a class yet, what kind of teaching building are you looking for!" Roewe had to reach out and hold Hua Shang's head to stop him from looking around, not at ease.
"Our campus, it's almost meaningful!" Hua Shang couldn't help but say. After seeing the four major martial arts academies of Heavenly Grant, Kongsang, Takeo First and Liancheng, he was a little disappointed in the Honghu Martial Academy. Although the SAR Martial Arts Academy is much more powerful than ordinary martial arts institutes, compared with similar ones, at least it is not a grade in architecture.
"Don't underestimate the Honghu Martial Academy. Roewe smiled slightly, "There are no connections and resources of wealthy families here, but it can be ranked among the top five in the Special Economic Zone, from the principal to the faculty to the students, they all have a sense of ambition." This is the tradition of the Bird. For decades, the Honghu Martial Arts Academy has always been the favorite college for the children of ordinary families, because they teach according to their talents and distribute resources fairly, regardless of their family background or background. Here, as long as you're strong enough, you can get ahead. ”
"That's for me. Hua Shang was immediately relieved, as long as the most expensive is not good, it still wants the best. Honghu Martial Arts is good.
"Moreover, the biggest feature of the Honghu Martial Arts Academy is not in the campus, but in the relic forest behind. Roewe continued, "The person I'm looking for is right there. ”
"Oh, he lives in the woods?" Hua Shang was taken aback.
"Hehe, don't be scared. Roewe laughed.
Roewe parked his car in the entrance parking lot of the Relic Forest area. Showing the forest keeper his warrior nameplate, he led Hua Shang down a slender forest path into the Black Forest.
"There should be a lot of aura here, will the internal strength increase faster when practicing here?" Hua Shang looked left and right excitedly, inhaling the fresh air in the forest.
"Before the fourth order, it was the same wherever you practiced, and the amount of spiritual energy that a low-level martial artist could absorb was very limited, and it was a slow accumulation process. After reaching the fourth order, there will be a qualitative change, but at that time you might as well go to the forbidden area. Roewe explained.
"Got it. Hua Shang nodded. If the spiritual root is regarded as an aura absorber, even if it is a jet engine type spiritual root, it is estimated that the rate of absorbing spiritual energy is extremely low, and the spiritual energy in the world's atmosphere is rich enough that it can quickly reach the upper limit of its absorption rate.
The two men walked forward for about an hour, and it became dark. Hua Shang felt more and more uncomfortable, as if he had walked into a freezer, swinging all the way. He felt very strange that it was summer, even if it was a summer night in Bac Ninh Province, it should be mainly sweltering. How to get to the Black Forest, it's like the middle of winter. This temperature difference is not normal.
"Do you feel it?" Roewe pressed his shoulder, and a warm air flow quickly flowed into his body, and Hua Shang instantly returned to summer.
"yes, it was cold just now. Hua Shang breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're not cold, you're being shocked by the pressure of alienated creatures. Roewe smiled faintly, "The spirit beasts and spirit plants of the Relic Forest have murderous intentions for any highly intelligent creatures, because our genes can help them evolve. ”
"I'll go, isn't this the same as the forbidden zone?" Hua Shang was frightened.
"Far from it. The creatures in the forbidden area have no comparable level of evolution and power. They kill you, for no reason, just bloodthirsty. Roewe said solemnly.
"But it's still dangerous. Hua Shang said in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, with me, my spiritual field can deter alienated creatures within a radius of ten miles. Plus that guy, it's safer here than anywhere else. Roewe smiled and pointed ahead, "Look, it's here." ”
In the middle of a woodland ahead, a bunch of orange-red flames flickered, which was the light of a bonfire. A faint glow outlines a humble courtyard. The courtyard of thousands of square meters is surrounded by a high fence, and in front of it is a wooden gate. The wood door opens to reveal the tall bonfire inside, as well as the bungalow behind the fire. The bungalows were made of straw, mud and wood, simple and sturdy, and the style was the same as that of the houses in the northern countryside. Old corn, garlic and dried peppers hang on the eaves.
Hua Shang felt like he had come to the farmhouse of the first season of the life he longed for.
"Senior brother!" Roewe called out loudly.
"Weizi, here. A vicissitudes and hoarse voice came from the doorway of the farmhouse. A middle-aged man with an obese body and a low hairline walked out while wiping his oily hands and yawning.
Seeing his appearance, Hua Shang's eyes immediately widened and blurted out: "Huang Guanjie!?"
Huang Guanjie, in Huashang's previous life, was a famous table tennis veteran star, a world champion and a famous coach. Hua Shang wanted to go to Datong City Sports School because he wanted to be his student. As a result, Rong Henghao snatched the place. Unexpectedly, in this life, he actually met this big guy here!
The fat middle-aged man was stunned: "You know me?"
"You know him?" Roewe was stunned.
"Uh, this...... Hmm......" Hua Shang's eyes rolled, how to explain this, "He is a great master of kendo, of course I know." ”
"Do you still know that I used to practice swords?" Huang Guanjie was even more surprised. He didn't practice swords for many years. Hua Shang stopped practicing before he was born.
"That...... I decided to be a sword warrior after reading your swordsmanship. "Huashang can only make it up. Anyway, if Huang Guanjie is sure to practice swords, then the set is close, and there will be no less meat.
"Ouch, fate!" Roewe said in surprise, "Senior brother, I can't imagine that there are still people who recognize you as a soul master." ”
"You want to be a swordsman when you look at my swordsmanship? Huang Guanjie couldn't help but complain.
"I was young. Hua Shang tried to lie. Both Roewe and Huang Guanjie laughed.
"Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Huang Guanjie beckoned and welcomed Roewe and Huashang into the door.
