A few minutes after Fu Hua took Gu Tianyi away, the alarm clock on Hong Yan's chair rang, Xiu Zhe knew that the three-hour sword training time was over, he stuck the knife in the grass and sat down, picked up the water bottle and poured it hard, regardless of whether the water would wet the collar, his clothes had already been wet with sweat. Ning Jiu also sat on the ground with his butt on his buttocks, panting heavily, looking like he was about to collapse.

"Eat, rest for two hours, gather here at half past two in the afternoon, and deduct five points for latecomers." After Hong Yan said this, he left the playground side by side with Lei Kuan.

Liang Yue glanced at Xiu Zhe and left the playground alone, Ning Jiu wiped a handful of sweat on his chin, looked at Liang Yue, who was in good condition, and muttered in a low voice: "Did that kid take any medicine before training?" Can you still behave so lightly? ”

Xiu Zhe shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Every morning he will go through a tedious examination, how could he have drunk the potion in advance?" Saying that, Xiu Zhe gave a thumbs up to Tang Yanqian, who insisted on staying next to him.

Tang Yanqian's somewhat pale and lovely face squeezed out a smile, and the right hand on her lap also gave a thumbs up, and said weakly: "Next, as long as I survive the afternoon swordsmanship training, I can keep ten points." ”

"Come on!" Xiu Zhe gave Tang Yanqian an encouraging look, and after the three of them rested on the grass for half an hour, Xiu Zhe carefully helped Tang Yanqian and the three of them walked towards the cafeteria.

After lunch, the three of them went to the medicated bath in the college to soak for half an hour to relieve muscle soreness, the medicated bath is divided into single rooms and multiple rooms, and a noble son like Ning Jiu must have chartered a single medicated bath, Xiu Zhe's work-study student meal card added the privilege of soaking in the medicated bath twice a day for free at the beginning of the semester, but the conditions are not as good as Ning Jiu, it is a large group of people soaking in a pool.

For Ning Jiu's single medicated bath Xiu Zhe is still a little envious, not to mention the spacious bath with a single changing room, where is it like the bath he is soaking in now is full of rough men?

Although he was envious, Xiu Zhe didn't have a dead face and pestered Ning Jiu to ask him to take a single medicated bath every day. The effect of each medicated bath is the same, the difference is that there are fewer people.

At the same time, taking advantage of the medicinal bath, Ning Jiu and Tang Yanqian would drink expensive potions to allow themselves to recover their strength quickly, Xiu Zhe couldn't afford to drink those things at all, and could only rely on his own physical fitness to resist the daily training.

After soaking for about 20 minutes, Xiu Zhe simply rinsed his body, changed into a clean hospital uniform, and rushed to the training playground.

The afternoon class could be said to be much easier than the morning class, and the sixteen students practiced swordsmanship by waving their respective weapons in accordance with Hong Cheng's movements.

Thinking that when he first started practicing swordsmanship more than half a month ago, Xiu Zhe couldn't feel the sword qi in his body at all, geniuses like Ning Jiu and Liang Yue had sword qi when they didn't practice swordsmanship, and Xiu Zhe once thought that he might not be suitable for sword practice.

Just when Xiu Zhe persisted for more than half a month and was discouraged and wanted to give up, he finally had a thin ball of sword qi in his body, although it was very little or even impossible to cover the Taidao, but it also made him very excited, he was not a hopeless waste wood.

Once a person is serious about doing something, time will always pass quickly, nearly two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and only fourteen of the sixteen students remain.

Tang Yanqian's credits were only 40 points, and Xiu Zhe and Ning Jiu still maintained an excellent score of 90 points, but the two were not happy because they still had Liang Yue 100 points above their heads.

What worries Xiu Zhe even more is that he has already opened a significant distance from his classmates, although he has learned the three-stage slash of rapid combo, he has never been able to condense his sword qi on the sword, let alone be able to swing his sword qi out like Ning Jiu.

After these two months of dead and alive training, Hong Cheng gave the remaining fourteen students another five days off, Xiu Zhe didn't go home to see, he insisted on exercising every day, wielding the Taidao and condensing the thin sword qi in his body, and didn't return to the dormitory to rest until late at night every day.

On the last day of the short vacation, Xiu Zhe also decided not to practice swords, and took a day off to chat with Ning Jiu in the bedroom.

"You ask me how to use the Earth Crack Wave Sword? This move is just to inject sword qi into the sword and then simply swing it out. As for the question that Xiu Zhe asked for advice from himself, Ning Jiu was not easy to answer, so he could only say so.

Xiu Zhe's eyes were full of disappointment, not because Ning Jiu was very perfunctory, even Hong Yanlai would say so, in fact, this is a simple swordsmanship, condensing sword qi and wielding it. But the sword qi in his body was too little, and it was simply not enough to perform this move. Although Xiu Zhe practiced for a few hours more than others every day, and sometimes even slept only three or four hours, he still couldn't master it.

Ning Jiu, who seemed to notice Xiu Zhe's emotions, comforted: "Don't be too pessimistic, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, your advantage lies in the ghost hand, and the power of the ghost hand is not something that can be learned in the ordinary teaching of the academy." ”

Sighing helplessly, Xiu Zhe didn t speak, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, although Ning Jiu was a little worried about Xiu Zhe's current state, he couldn't give Xiu Zhe any help, the master led him into the door, and the cultivation was personal.

There was nothing to say all night, when the first rays of sunlight shone in the morning, Xiu Zhe woke up, picked up the sword as usual after washing, and prepared to go to the playground to practice in advance, since he is not a genius, he should work harder than a genius to make up for this gap.

Xiu Zhe just walked out of the dormitory building when he saw Lin Jun dressed in white, and Lin Jun seemed to be waiting for him.

"From today onwards, you don't have to train with Hong Yan." Lin Jun said softly to Xiu Zhe.

Xiu Zhe was shocked and hurriedly said: "Vice Dean, I know that my progress is slower than that of my classmates in Class A, but I have been working hard, if Class A is not suitable for me, I can go to Class B, Class C, and Class D." ”

Lin Jun was slightly stunned and explained with a smile: "I'm not going to expel you, from today onwards, I will personally teach you, although Hong Cheng is a very powerful swordsman, he is not a person who can stimulate your potential." ”

The vice president personally teaches? And such a good thing? But Xiu Zhe didn't show any joy, Lin Jun's words were obvious, stimulate the potential, this potential is probably the ghost hand that bothers him, right?

"Let's go, go to the Gran Forest." Lin Jun smiled slightly and led the way in front, Xiu Zhe hurriedly followed, and maintained a distance between him and Lin Jun.

The two of them came to the gate of the academy and got on a carriage with a relatively simple score, the Imperial Sword Academy is not very far from the Gran Forest, and it is said that this is also to prevent the monsters of the Gran Grove from running amok to set up the academy not far from the forest.

The markets on the outskirts of the Gran Forest are far more prosperous than those in the Boulder Valley, and Lin Jun took Xiu Zhe to have a simple breakfast and bought some potions and put them in the storage bag around his waist.

As the name suggests, a storage bag is a bag used to store items, and the contents of the small bag that can be held by one hand can be shocking to people's jaws, but they cannot store living things.

"Surprised? It is indeed much more prosperous here than the Boulder Valley, although the Loran Forest is very close to the Glen Forest, but the strength of the monster is different from the mud, Loran has almost been developed, but the Glan Forest is too big, and the lord of it, the Minotaur Sauta, is not a character to be messed with. Lin Jun smiled and looked at Xiu Zhe, who was looking around like a curious baby, and said lightly.

Xiu Zhe nodded lightly, and wrote down the owner of this forest in his heart. Lin Jun took Xiu Zhe all the way into the Gran Forest, although the gate was guarded by the army of the Duchy of Belmar, it was only a unilateral guard, and those who entered the forest had no right to govern.

As soon as Lin Jun entered the forest, he put his hand into the storage bag, took out a small bottle carved from white jade from it, opened the mouth of the bottle, Lin Jun sprinkled some powder on Xiu Zhe's body, and said: "This powder can eliminate the breath on your own body, as long as you hide it well enough, monsters will generally not notice you." ”

Saying that, Lin Jun also sprinkled some on himself, and Xiu Zhe learned from the small book that Lin Nas handed over to him, this powder was refined by alchemists, and there was some magic in it, which was an extremely expensive item, and ordinary silver-level adventurers could not afford this kind of thing.

"Why, Vice Dean?" Xiu Zhe raised his little face and looked directly at Lin Jun, who was one meter and eight miles away, and asked.

Of course, Lin Jun knew what Xiu Zhe wanted to ask, and replied with a slight smile: "The trust of the old man, Xiu Zhe, some people have already paid attention to you since the day you were born. ”

Xiu Zhe's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You've been paying attention to me since I was born?" Although I really want to ask who it is, I am afraid that I won't say much about Lin Jun's appearance, Xiu Zhe is a smart child, since Lin Jun doesn't say it, then he won't ask more, can anyone deliberately come over to harm himself with his worthless life?

Lin Jun half-squatted down and said, "I'll carry you, so that I can reach the destination as soon as possible." ”

Nodding, Xiu Zhe climbed on Lin Jun's back and put his arms around Lin Jun's neck, Lin Jun held the joint position of Xiu Zhe's legs with both hands, and a trace of golden mist came out of his feet, and he disappeared in place in an instant with a 'whoosh'.

Lin Jun's movements were extremely light, and his toes were tapping between the branches to move quickly, and Xiu Zhe couldn't believe that the weight of the two people would not break the branches as thick as his fingers.

Looking at the scenery on both sides quickly retreating, Xiu Zhe also saw the appearance of the monsters living in the forest for the first time.

With blue-green skin, long ears and nose, and an extremely thin and short body, Xiu Zhe roughly estimated that it might not even be a meter tall, but in his hand he was wandering aimlessly in the forest with a mallet about the same length as his height.

When he was very young, his mother told him stories about this monster, and Linus's little book also recorded that the monster was named Goblin, and it was a subspecies whose IQ was not weaker than that of humans.

As he went deeper and deeper into the forest, Xiu Zhe also saw all kinds of goblins, some goblins were wearing clothes and some were not, and the monsters in the forest were not only goblins, but also five or six meters tall minotaurs and cat demons running fast on the ground.
