Chapter IV: Targeting
At this time, in a closed guest room, the sword idiot slowly took out two healing herbs, this elixir he bought from the drugstore on the street, he put one on his shoulder, the other in front of his chest, he gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.
This time, he was too wronged, and he hated himself for not being strong enough.
Seven days passed, and the injuries on the sword idiot's body recovered, and for seven days in a row, he devoted himself to the comprehension of the sword technique, but he didn't even get started with the simplest first level, and he couldn't cultivate at all, which made him suffer a big blow.
It was also on this day that Thunder City was particularly lively.
This day is the annual recruitment of disciples by the Thundering Sect, and every year the Thundering Sect will be held in the Thundering City, and the number of disciples recruited is very rare, only fifty disciples with excellent potential.
It is precisely because the Thundering Sect wants to accept disciples that the entire Thundering City is shaken by it, and it is very lively. The streets were filled with crowds, and there were long queues all the way.
The sword idiot was in the room, noticing the commotion outside, so he came out into the street. When he arrived on the street, he was stunned, what kind of street is this, it's just a sea of people!
As soon as he stepped out of the inn, he was already squeezed away, and he was completely squeezed step by step towards the Thundering Sect by following the flow of people. The sword idiot twisted his body as best he could, and followed the crowd to form a long line towards the Thundering Sect.
Time passed by drop by drop, and the sword idiot changed from waiting slowly to despair in this life, the distant horizon, boundless, and when the sun was raised overhead, the team moved slowly like a snail. The sword idiot realized what it means to be idle, this is idleness, spending a lot of time to queue up, it is simply death.
But he couldn't help but do this, only when he entered the Thundering Sect could he find a cultivation method to cultivate, and it would not be a long-term thing to prevent him from being unable to cultivate all the time, besides, he had offended the beggar gang, and he still didn't know anything about the beggar gang.
In this way, he waited in line for two days before finally waiting for him. At this time, he noticed that the people in front of him all shook their heads and left, looking disappointed, which made him a little worried, how many people are there in the entire Thunder City, that is at least more than 100,000, and the young people already have 20,000 or 30,000.
In the past two days, it has not been fully recruited, and the elimination rate of this horror is a little terrifying.
"I repeat, if you are over the age of twenty, please leave consciously, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
The loud sound resounded like sound waves throughout Thunderbolt City.
Hearing this voice, sure enough, many people walked out of the team and left, they didn't dare not listen, after all, this is the territory of the Thundering Sect, and if it is found out, the consequences will be very serious.
Soon, it was the turn of the sword idiot.
An old man stared at the sword idiot with a pair of cloudy eyes, and in an instant he felt as if he was naked in front of this old man, without a trace of concealment.
Suddenly, there was a scream not far away, and I saw that a young man was killed by the law enforcement team of the Thunder Sect in an instant, and the sword idiot's eyelids jumped suddenly.
The old man's kind voice came slightly: "Don't worry, as long as you are not a spy of other sects, you will not be killed at will." Although the old man's voice was gentle, it made the sword idiot feel a sense of fear.
"Age qualified, next. ”
The sword idiot then moved on to the next level.
This level is a test of talent, and he also sees quite a few people here, but nowhere near as many as outside.
This level of talent testing is guarded by a middle-aged man. To be honest, when I came here, the sword idiot was more or less uneasy.
The middle-aged man glanced at the sword idiot who had just come in, smiled slightly, and beckoned to him: "You, come here." The sword idiot then came to the middle-aged man, took the middle-aged man and handed him the crystal ball, pressed his hands on it, and suddenly the crystal ball emitted a faint light.
"Fail"
The three words fell on the sword idiot's ears, causing his body to shook.
He stared at the middle-aged man, and his simple eyes stared at him intently: "Give me another chance, okay?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him coldly, and said proudly: "This is the rule, next!" Seeing this, the sword idiot sighed and turned to leave, but when he turned his head again, he found that the middle-aged man showed an unknown smile to him.
He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and suddenly came to the old man guarding the previous level, and asked calmly, "Thundering Sect still has a way to choose for young people with poor talents, right?"
The old man was showing the age of the others, and the sudden voice surprised him a little, but after listening to the next sentence, he looked at the sword idiot in surprise, and stared at him with a pair of deep eyes.
The voice was not lowered, and the middle-aged man naturally heard this, and then he showed a wisp of disdain and continued to test the talent of the person who came.
He naturally knew what the other path was, but for the choice of the other way, he could only snicker silently. For many years, that road was rarely crossed at all, because it was too difficult. Even the disciples of the Thundering Sect who chose that path to enter the sect were only a handful, but those who passed that path undoubtedly did not become the elite disciples of the sect.
The old man glanced at the middle-aged man, and subconsciously the middle-aged man didn't look away, and continued to test the talent of the young man who came, the old man turned around and looked at the sword idiot, and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Hmm. ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
The old man took out a token from his clothes, handed it to the sword idiot, and commanded, "When you are going to that way, crush it, and it will convey you there." ”
"Thank you, senior. ”
In the next second, he directly crushed the token, decisive and resolute, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then the whole person continued to touch the bones of the young man who came as if he was fine.
The so-called touching the bones to see the age is to touch your hand to determine whether your age is up to standard.
......
Buzzing...
Whew...
A gust of wind blew, and it was creepy.
There is no direct sunlight, no sun overhead, only a waning moon hanging high in the sky.
Screams were heard from all directions, and every now and then a miserable sound could be heard from under the earth or from the sky. It was dark and uninhabited, surrounded by withered grass and strange vines that lay on the ground. In this place where the bird doesn't, an afterimage appeared, and it turned into a real body, which was the sword idiot who came.
Whew...
Whew...
His arrival caused a strong wind to blow in this strange place, which continued to blow towards him, blowing the robe with a loud sound.
The yin wind blew from the depths, the yin wind blew through the body of the sword idiot, there was a faint stinging pain on his cheeks, his sword was held tightly in his hand, with years of experience, he felt that this place was extraordinary, the yin wind gradually dissipated, and the quiet and cold road was in front of him. He walked along the only path in front of him, surrounded by dark trees, the scars on the trees were some years old, but the blood on the ground was dark red, I don't know how many years had passed.
It didn't take long for a white bone to gradually begin to appear on the ground, and the white bones were crawling full of mouths, looking disgusting to death; it was at this time that the vanished yin wind reappeared, this time the yin wind was more ferocious than when it was outside, and the wind continued to blow the body of the sword idiot, and the tattered robe was blown more unrecognizable by the yin wind, revealing a series of gaps.
His face was also cut by the yin wind, but he didn't care, and continued to walk forward, as he went deeper, the strength of the yin wind gradually increased, one stronger than the other, until he walked a hundred steps, and stopped abruptly, because the yin wind here was too strong, just one yin wind cut a ten-centimeter-long wound on the sword idiot's body.
It was also a hundred steps here, and there were a lot more white bones around, and if you looked closely, there were many cracks on the white bones, and it could be seen that these white bones were destroyed by these yin winds. The sword idiot's face was solemn, and the iron sword was in front of him, but every time Yin Feng hit the iron sword, his body trembled fiercely.
He stayed on this hundred steps for a full ten breaths, and his heart quickly calculated the time that the Yin Wind here was cut off, and in the time of ten breaths, he basically sorted out the speed of the Yin Wind, and every second, a Yin Wind would pop out from the depths, hitting his position, ten breaths, which was almost ten Yin Winds.
When the next yin wind was about to appear, he moved a step quickly, took a step forward, a hundred and one step, and just a yin wind formed a wind blade from the depths and cut it directly. The sword in the sword idiot's hand lifted up, blocked the wind blade, and continued to take a step forward.
That's it, one step at a time.
One-step...
Two steps...
Three Steps...
Four Steps...
When he reached the fifth step, he suddenly transformed from a wind blade into two, extremely sharp, and the sword idiot who was slashed at once was caught off guard, and his waist was cut open, revealing bloody flesh and blood.
The sword idiot's eyes froze, and the sword in his right hand tightened. The footsteps stepped out gently, and two sharp wind blades had begun to slash towards his position in no direction, the momentum was monstrous, and a sword of silver light rushed into the sky, and two clanging sounds came.
The sword idiot gasped and didn't take a step forward. Just as he was about to adjust his state on the spot, he suddenly slammed into a place, and an aurora flashed overhead, splitting a small thunderbolt, the sword idiot smelled a breath of death, looked up at the lightning that was falling very quickly, and his body moved, and the lightning exploded directly in the previous position, splitting a small hole.
If this lightning bolt struck him, he would die directly, and his head would be split in half.
He didn't dare to be careless this time, his hand clenched tightly, and he looked around to prevent another inexplicable attack, and for two hours he watched, and the forest had not moved since the lightning fell. But he was not at ease, and waited for another half an hour before finally breathing a sigh of relief and began to sit cross-legged on the ground.
Ever since he came back from the cave, he had an extra mind in his mind, called the Nameless Mind, and he didn't know why it appeared in his mind, but he knew that it must be related to the person named Shura, but he didn't know why this person named Shura gave him this mind.
