Chapter 536: Imperial City Sacred Courtyard 107
There was silence outside the small courtyard, and although there was Hong Lao playing in the round, the atmosphere was still a little awkward.
Xun Wanshan did not hide his displeasure, he was not angry with Ji Dong, but simply didn't want Ji Dong to be distracted by him, compared with a family person and a lonely person, of course, the latter was more free and easy, and he could have less worries and chaos.
Therefore, when he heard that Ji Dong had made a private agreement with Xue Mingyue for life, he was indeed a little unhappy for a while.
"Apprentice, there are some things, the teacher originally wanted to tell you later, but since you came to see the teacher today, then the teacher will tell you directly!"
After a little groaning, Xun Wanshan also came back to his senses from his previous stunned state and said to Ji Dong.
"Master, please general, disciple listen to me!"
Hearing Xun Wanshan's words, Ji Dong's face did not change, and his tone was also very calm and authentic. Of course, he could see that Xun Wanshan was unhappy, but this was also something he expected, as for the reason, in fact, the other party didn't say it, and he knew it very well in his heart.
"Apprentice, it won't be long before you go to the Qingying Sect, what the teacher wants to tell you is that when you arrive at the Qingying Sect, I'm afraid your life will not be very easy, what awaits you is actually a very severe test, the teacher doesn't want you to be distracted by some things, and then be caught by someone to be caught in the weakness, can you understand the hard work of the teacher?"
Xun Wanshan's tone was slightly solemn, originally, he didn't want Ji Dong to have too much pressure, but he didn't expect Ji Dong to suddenly tell him such a thing, in this case, he had to let Ji Dong recognize the situation.
"Master, the disciple naturally knows the difficulties of the trip to the Qingying Sect, however, the master can rest assured, no matter how strong the master's enemy is, the disciple is confident that he can play with ease."
Hearing Xun Wanshan's words, Ji Dong's face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, but he directly made it clear, "The disciple knows what the master is worried about, but the disciple has gone all the way from a small hunter to today, no matter who it is, don't think about it so easily to calculate me, as for Mingyue, the disciple will let her stay in the Holy Academy to cultivate for the time being, and will definitely not delay the disciple's business because of her." ”
With his chin slightly raised, Ji Dong's face was full of confidence, and he directly clarified his attitude, obviously, he just wanted to tell the other party that the matter of Blood Mingyue had already been decided by him, and it was naturally impossible to change.
"This ............"
When Ji Dong's words fell, whether it was Xun Wanshan or Hong Lao on the side, they all subconsciously shook their faces, obviously they didn't expect Ji Dong to be so resolute.
However, Ji Dong's strong self-confidence made them feel a little at ease, because they actually understood that Ji Dong was definitely not the kind of person who didn't know how to measure, what to do, he should have a spectrum in his heart.
"Well, since the matter has been decided, then the teacher will not say more, just know it yourself." After thinking about it for a while, Xun Wanshan waved his hand, but he didn't interfere too much in Ji Dong's affairs.
Since accepting Ji Dong as an apprentice, he actually hasn't done anything to Ji Dong, but the latter has cultivated all the way to the current realm without anyone to teach him, such a genius young man really can't be paced with common sense.
"Thank you, Master, rest assured, the disciple will never let the Master down."
Receiving Xun Wanshan's understanding, Ji Dong couldn't help but look happy, and hurriedly saluted again.
"Okay, okay, my own master and apprentice, don't be so polite as me." Seeing Ji Dong saluting himself respectfully, Xun Wanshan shook his head with a smile, and then continued, "Say, is there anything else you want to tell the teacher?" ”
With his eyes narrowed slightly, Xun Wanshan was like an old fox, staring at Ji Dongdao with a smile.
"Hehe, you can't hide anything from the master's eyes, the disciple does have a small matter that he wants to consult with the master, if the master is convenient, you might as well reveal a ............ or two to the disciple."
With a pale face, Ji Dong didn't expect that his master's eyes would be so vicious, and before he could speak, the other party had already seen his thoughts.
"Hahaha, there's nothing inconvenient, don't you just want to help your sweetheart find out about the dispute between the mansion and the hospital? It doesn't hurt to tell you for the teacher, this battle between the palace and the court will be held in the situation of a ring battle, and there is no skill at all, it mainly depends on the strength of the girl. ”
Of course, Xun Wanshan knew what Ji Dong wanted to ask, but this time the battle between the government and the academy, he finally decided to hold it in the situation of a ring battle, and for the battle in the ring, there are not many colleges that can prepare, as he said, the most important thing in this way of competition is to see who is strong, as for the skills, although it also has an impact, but the impact is not big.
In the face of absolute strength, any skill is actually very pale.
"Ring fights? That's a good way to do it. ”
Hearing Xun Wanshan's words, Ji Dong didn't care about any embarrassment, but his eyes lit up, obviously extremely satisfied with such a way of fighting.
In his opinion, with Blood Mingyue's current strength, the battle in the ring is definitely the best way to fight, because Blood Mingyue's strength can completely crush any opponent, even if Blood Mingyue's combat experience is slightly worse, but that is not comparable to others.
To put it bluntly, after stepping into the ring at that time, Blood Mingyue only needs to stand there to prop up the superpower shield, which basically leaves all opponents helpless.
In addition, the danger of fighting in the ring is also slightly lower, which is better than running to fight the beast like before, because even if you can't beat it, you can admit defeat as soon as possible, and you definitely don't have to bury yourself in the mouth of the beast.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Xun Wanshan was not originally a way to compete in the ring, but due to what happened before, the number of disciples in this session of the True Martial Saint Academy had decreased sharply, and he had to add some from the disciples in the next session, so he could only give up the dangerous way of fighting and change to a ring battle.
There is no way to do this, he doesn't want this year's genius disciples to lose their lives because the battle between the palace and the academy is too dangerous.
"Hehe, it seems that you have quite confidence in the girl of the Lei family, by the way, what realm is that girl now? But has it already entered the golden stage? ”
Seeing Ji Dong's expression, Xun Wanshan couldn't help but be a little curious about Blood Mingyue's cultivation, so he asked casually.
"The golden segment? Hehe, don't hide it from Master, Mingyue has been promoted to the fifth stage of the golden stage some time ago, and it is estimated that after a while, it should be able to move towards the sixth stage of the golden stage. ”
Hearing this, Ji Dong couldn't help but smile and said very calmly.
"What? Yuan......... Golden section five sections? This ............" When Ji Dong's words fell, Xun Wanshan's face suddenly changed, and the whole person was stunned all of a sudden.
After learning that the upcoming battle between the palaces and courtyards was held in the situation of a ring battle, Ji Dong suddenly made up his mind, and he had every reason to believe that in this year's battle between the palaces and courtyards, Qindu Academy would definitely be able to win the final championship.
When he returned to Qindu Academy before, he gave Guan Yue a lot of Beast Spirit Pills, and he believed that the five-person group of Qindu Academy this year would inevitably be strong people above the second stage of the Golden Section, plus the people of the fifth stage of the Golden Stage, no matter which academy it was, they could only obediently crawl at the feet of the Qindu Academy.
You must know that the realm of the second stage of the Golden Section is already a very high realm, looking at the thirty-six colleges of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, there are definitely not a few geniuses of the second stage of the Golden Stage, and the Qin Capital Academy is all of this level, just thinking about it is terrifying enough.
It is foreseeable that after the battle between the government and the academy is held, the reputation of Qindu College will be even more prosperous, even if it is the so-called four major colleges, it will definitely be completely compared by Qindu Academy............
After bidding farewell to Xun Wanshan and Hong Lao, Ji Dong once again returned to his small courtyard in the newcomer area, and then began a new round of retreat and cultivation.
He didn't plan to pay attention to the dispute between the palace and the academy, firstly, he wanted to avoid suspicion and not let others gossip about Qindu Academy behind his back, and secondly, he really had confidence in Qindu Academy and blood Mingyue, so whether he paid attention to it or not, he believed that Qindu Academy would be the champion undoubtedly.
When Blood Mingyue was with him, he was almost armed to the teeth, so it can be said that even if a person in the sixth stage of the Golden Rank met Blood Mingyue at the moment, he would not be able to get any advantage at all, and he might even be killed by Blood Mingyue in seconds, after all, the identity of the Blood Mingyue Five Elements Superpower made it different from ordinary superpowers.
This time in retreat, he plans to close it directly until the end of the battle between the mansion and the courtyard, until after Xue Mingyue joins the True Martial Saint Academy, he will go to meet the other party again, maybe this will be a little cruel to Xue Mingyue, but he just wants the other party to learn to survive independently, instead of relying on him everywhere.
"Time is running out, joining the Qing Ying Sect is imminent, before that, I must straighten out my strength to the best state, and start preparing for the platinum section, fortunately, I still have three Heart Condensing Pills on my body, I can try to take it at a critical moment, if I can enter the platinum stage, then even if there are many masters in the Qing Ying Sect, I can easily deal with it."
Sitting cross-legged on the low couch, all of Ji Dong's thoughts were focused on his own cultivation.
Although he had only just advanced to the Tribulation Realm not long ago, he had already begun to prepare for his Platinum Stage, because he was different from other Platinum Realm powerhouses, and the Heart Tribulation was actually a relatively easy level for him to pass.
The main test of the mental tribulation is the state of mind of the superpower, as well as the superpower's concentration in the face of various mental illusions, which should not be too much of a problem for him with spiritual power.
The existence of spiritual power is to destroy all falsehood, if he can't even cope with the mere mental tribulation, but it will also be in vain for his spiritual power of that level.
The most critical step is the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation is very difficult, it is said that the Thunder and Fire Tribulation from the heavens will also be distinguished according to the strength of the person who should be robbed, it is conceivable that when he starts to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, it will definitely be different from other people in the platinum stage who cross the Heavenly Tribulation.
But fortunately, he is a superpower of the whole system of the Five Elements, and he has the spiritual power of the Dan Array Master, if he thinks of some more ways when the time comes, it should not be a big deal to cross the Heavenly Tribulation.
"It's still too early to think about this, the current priority is to continue to expand my actual combat ability, while no one is disturbing during this time, I will continue to study my skills, and strive to integrate every step of the skill, and burst out with the strongest strength, especially the hurricane knife technique, must reach an impeccable realm!"
In the future, no one can say for sure, what he can completely grasp in his own hands at the moment is only his own strength, he wants to mix in the Qingying Sect, and he wants to mix well, then he must have a strong strength to support.
Thinking of this, he suddenly collected his mind, and then began to deduce all the skills he had cultivated. This is a big project, but what is certain is that when he combs his skills smoothly, his combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly improved, and it can be regarded as a perfect preparation for his impact on the platinum section.
Time flowed, Ji Dong completely entered the state of cultivation, like this kind of distraction-free cultivation, but it was quite rare for him, after all, he had a lot of things in his heart before, and it was always difficult to calm down completely.
In this way, the sun set and the moon rose, Ji Dong completely cut off contact with the outside world, and between Duan Yan, the battle for the new palace of the Great Qin Dynasty finally came as scheduled.
When there were only three days left before the start of the war between the palaces and courtyards, the thirty-six colleges of the thirty-six prefectures of the Great Qin Dynasty once again gathered in the imperial city of the Great Qin Dynasty and stayed in the post house of the royal family.
Guan Yue, the dean of Qindu Academy, led the five-person group of Qindu College this year, and came to the post house early, compared to being ignored in the past, this year's Qindu Academy is definitely a star-like existence, and no matter who sees Guan Yue, they will all be extremely polite, and they dare not have the slightest support.
Everyone knows that the disciples of Qindu Academy have become the personal disciples of the dean of the True Martial Saint Academy, although Ji Dong is no longer in Qindu Academy now, but he came out of Qindu Academy after all, if any of them dare to look down on Qindu Academy, I am afraid that they will be hated by Ji Dong for the first time............
The Royal Inn, the top floor of the Tianzi No. 1 Building.
At this time, Guan Yue, the dean of the Qindu Academy, was giving simple instructions to the five-person group of the Qindu Academy.
Guan Yue is still the same Guan Yue, except for the huge changes in his own strength, Guan Yue is not much different from three years ago, if you have to find the difference, it is that Guan Yue is even more indifferent now.
"You have all seen that the place where we are now is the best place in the entire post house, and this is all thanks to the few people in the last battle of our Qindu Academy, I hope that a few of you can continue this situation and not be replaced by other academies."
Guan Yue's gaze swept over the three men and two women in front of him one by one, but his eyes were full of confidence.
Once upon a time, Qindu Academy was always sad that it couldn't find genius disciples to participate in the battle of the palace, but today, the Qindu Academy is full of geniuses, and the five-person group selected by him in the end is definitely the highest average cultivation in the history of Qindu Academy, he believes that with the efforts of these five people in front of him, this year's championship of the palace competition will definitely not be taken away by others.
In the hall, three men and two women were lined up, and each of them had a look of confidence on their faces that could not be concealed, quietly accepting Guan Yue's scrutiny.
If Ji Dong was here at this time, he would find that among the five people present, three of them were very familiar to him, and although the remaining two were not very familiar, if he heard the name, he would definitely have some impressions.
The first place is naturally Xue Mingyue, as the strongest disciple of Qindu Academy at the moment, Xuemingyue's limelight can be said to be unparalleled for a while, because even Ji Dong, who led Qindu Academy to win the championship of the palace competition before, did not reach her level of cultivation at that time.
During this time, Xue Mingyue grasped every minute and every second to cultivate, whether it was the foundation of superpower or actual combat experience, there was great progress, although there was still a distance from the sixth stage of the golden stage, but it would not be too far away.
In second place is also Ji Dong's old acquaintance, Wu Wutian, a martial artist, who said that he had fought with Ji Dong at the beginning, but unfortunately, although Wu Wutian was a genius, all his brilliance was covered up by Ji Dong.
However, no matter what happened at the beginning, the current Wu Wutian is also very extraordinary, but he has already become a genius powerhouse of the fourth stage of the golden stage. Of course, this is naturally indispensable to the credit of those beast spirit pills that Ji Dong left to Qindu Academy, in fact, if it weren't for Ji Dong's beast spirit pills to help, Wu Wutian would still be a person in the second stage of the golden stage half a year ago.
In third place is a woman, it is Shen Feiyu, who joined the Qindu Academy with Xue Mingyue at the beginning, and is no worse than Xue Mingyue in terms of talent, her cultivation has reached the peak of the second stage of the Golden Stage, but unfortunately the gap with Xue Mingyue is getting bigger and bigger.
The fourth is a young man with a dark face, this man's name is Gu Zhaojun, he is a disciple of the Gu family of Qindu Mansion, the Gu family often has genius disciples, and in the previous battles between the palaces and colleges, it seems that the disciple of the Gu family has fought the most on behalf of the Qindu Academy.
His cultivation should have also reached the peak of the second stage of the golden section, and he was only one step away from the third stage of the golden stage, which was on par with Shen Feiyu on the side, but if he fought with a real sword, the probability of him winning was undoubtedly greater.
The person at the bottom of the line, Ji Dong must be very familiar with - Kong Jingyun of the Confucian family, when he was in the big competition of Qindu Academy, Ji Dong also had a conflict with this person, and in the end he was almost abolished by Ji Dong, and obediently ran back to the family to close the door for a long time.
Today's Kong Jingyun is also in the realm of the second stage of the Golden Section, but what is more ironic is that the reason why he was able to advance to the realm of the second stage of the Golden Section is also thanks to Ji Dong's Beast Spirit Pill.
Maybe in Kong Jingyun's heart, he will always want to seek revenge on Ji Dong, but in fact, the gap between the two is too big, so big that he will never be able to become a person of the world.
Five young people, one golden section five sections, one golden section four sections, plus three gold sections two sections, it is no exaggeration to say that as soon as this kind of lineup is unveiled, then the other colleges will obediently surrender their guns.
"Lord Dean, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts this time, we sent such a strong lineup this time, and the champion of this palace battle will definitely not be snatched up."
After listening to Guan Yue's instructions, the blood Mingyue led by him couldn't help but laugh coquettishly and assured Guan Yue.
They had long known about the form of this year's government and court battles, and when they learned that this competition was actually in the form of a ring battle, everyone's self-confidence was unprecedentedly sufficient.
Blood Mingyue is the most confident one, firstly, she has absolute confidence in her own strength, and secondly, Ji Dong also thought of the form of ring warfare at the beginning, so she gave her a lot of suggestions in advance, and also prepared a lot of secret hands for her, if she can lose this, she will not have the face to see Ji Dong.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, what this hospital wants to tell you most is that I hope you can stay vigilant, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy, if you lose the competition because of the underestimation of the enemy, it will be a pity."
Nodding, Guan Yue's face also showed a hint of a smile, and he instructed several people again.
At this moment, he really felt very happy, Ji Dong easily won the championship of the palace battle for him in the last session, and even sent him fifty elixirs, right now, he has created such a strong team in the blink of an eye, just ask, looking at the thirty-six academies, which academy can come up with such a lineup?
He also believes that as long as there is no big accident, then no one will want to compete with Qindu Academy for the first place in this year's government and academy dispute.
"That's right, Mingyue girl, in the past three days, you won't go to see Ji Dong's kid for the time being, after all, he is a disciple of the dean of the Holy Academy, and he is also the person who went out of my Qindu Academy, if you go to see him at this time, it will inevitably fall into your mouth, I hope you can understand and understand."
Guan Yue's gaze was slightly, and finally looked at Xue Mingyue Dao.
He knew the relationship between Xue Mingyue and Ji Dong, and now that he was in the imperial city, he believed that Xue Mingyue would definitely want to see Ji Dong, but he felt that at this time, it was best not to meet Ji Dong.
"Kito !!"
When Guan Yue's words fell, before Xue Mingyue could respond, the other four young people present all looked awkward, and the expressions on their faces were a little indescribably complicated.
As a member of Qindu Academy, they are certainly not unfamiliar with the name Ji Dong, in fact, even to this day, Ji Dong is still a legendary figure in Qindu Academy, even if they are already extraordinary, but when the word Ji Dong appears, they can only obediently put away all their pride.
Among the several people, Wu Wutian and Kong Jingyun's expressions changed the most, they had both been defeated in the hands of Ji Dong, and until this moment, their hearts were still full of dissatisfaction, if they could, they really wanted to see Ji Dong and see how big the gap would be between themselves and Ji Dong.
"Don't worry, the dean, the disciple knows the severity." Blood Mingyue pouted at this time, and then gritted her teeth.
In fact, she had already thought about it, in this battle between the palace and the court, she would firmly grasp the name of the first place in her hand, and then take such a ranking to meet Ji Dong, and before the battle between the palace and the court ended, she would not easily meet Ji Dong.
"Very good, in that case, a few of you can practice in this inn for the time being, and don't go out for the next few days, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Nodding, Guan Yue directly locked everyone in the post house this time, but he didn't give everyone a chance to go out and make trouble at all, after all, the lesson of the last time was still in front of him, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
The triennial battle for the palace came as scheduled, and because the form of the competition this time was a battle in the ring, this year's battle for the palace was directly held in the True Martial Saint Academy.
There are thirty-six teams in the thirty-six colleges, each team is still led by the dean, and five people participate, as for the rules of the ring battle, it is very simple, that is, to catch and fight.
Thirty-six teams will play against each other in pairs in the form of a draw, and the rules of the battle are two parts: a single challenge and a team battle, a single challenge wins one point, and a team battle is two points, that is, the first five heads-up, if one of them can score four points, then the later team battle will not have to be played.
But if the first five heads-up games are 3-2, then the team will have to decide the winner or loser.
Of course, there must be some luck in this, but sometimes luck is also part of the strength, if you really lose the competition because of bad luck, then you can only blame yourself for not looking at the yellow calendar.
It is worth mentioning that in order to protect some powerful geniuses, the Holy Court also has a more humane rule, that is, the side of the battle can directly choose to fight with one enemy five, and if it can win in one enemy five, then all the subsequent battles will not have to be fought.
However, it is not so simple to fight five against one, except for the fact that the golden section has a relatively large advantage in the superpower realm, such as the gap between the first stage of the golden section and the second stage of the golden section, it is absolutely impossible to take a risk, because a person in the first stage of the golden stage with four geniuses in the superpower realm is completely hopeful of defeating a person in the second stage of the golden stage.
For such rules formulated by the True Martial Saint Academy, the major academies naturally had nothing to say, because this way of competing was indeed relatively fair.
Fortunately, the True Martial Saint Academy has already stated that the True Martial Saint Academy's recruitment of disciples this time will not be based solely on the academy ranking, and at that time, the Holy Academy will decide the final candidate to join the True Martial Saint Academy based on everyone's performance in the battle.
Of course, the ranking must also be seen, after all, if you can't help your own college to rank at the top, this is a manifestation of insufficient ability.
In addition, the True Martial Sacred Academy has announced that in this year's palace dispute, the Holy Academy will recruit twenty more people, that is to say, in this palace dispute, there will be seventy young people to join the Holy Court and become disciples of the True Martial Sacred Academy, which is definitely a great blessing for many people present.
After everything was ready, the battle between the government and the court finally began.
The person responsible for presiding over the battle of this session of the palace was Wu Xin, the elder of the Law Order Hall of the True Martial Saint Academy, and at the same time, the other three veteran elders also attended, as for the vice president of the True Martial Saint Academy, and even the dean Xun Wanshan, he did not show up this time.
The four veteran elders jointly presided over it, but it also made this year's government and college dispute full of weight, at least no one in the major colleges would ignore this government and college dispute.
Thirty-six teams play against each other, and this way of fighting is still very fast, and whether it is a heads-up or team battle, it will be carried out in a ring, as long as it falls off the ring, then it will be directly judged to lose, so that the battle will end faster.
In just half a day, there are only eighteen of the thirty-six teams left, and although the eliminated academies are unwilling, most of them are convinced, after all, the rules are there, and not being able to win the opponent can only show that the strength of their side is not good.
Of course, it is not excluded that there is a situation of being dragged down by others, there is a golden section genius of an academy, just because everyone else lost to the opponent, and in the end, it is regrettable that he did not even have the opportunity to fight as a team, but he can only be eliminated unwillingly, and secretly regret that he did not directly choose to fight one against five at the beginning.
During this period, the appearance of Qindu Academy can definitely be described as shocking, when the four people who appeared in Qindu Academy swept away the opponent with a devastating momentum, everyone could not recover for a long time.
Although in the last year's battle between the palaces and colleges, Qindu College won the final championship, but this time, everyone felt that Qindu College did not have much hope of winning the championship again, after all, the comprehensive strength of Qindu College should not be higher than the four major colleges of the Four Great Mansions, and the most important thing in this year's competition is to test the comprehensive strength.
It's a pity that when they saw that the disciples of the Qindu Academy were all geniuses of the second stage of the golden stage, or even the fourth stage of the golden stage, all the academies were silent.
Only then did they realize that the weak Qindu Academy was really going to rise strongly, and they didn't give others a chance at all!
You must know that among the five people in Qindu Academy, the strongest is obviously the Blood Mingyue who did not make a move, but in fact, let alone the Blood Mingyue, even Wu Wutian is already one of the strongest people in this year's battle between the palaces and academies, and those who can reach his level are just one of the four major academies.
But in fact, the rest of the four academies can definitely not be compared with the rest of the Qindu Academy, so everyone understands that even if there is no need to fight in the later battles, the champion of this year's battle for the palace and academy will not be in suspense at all.
Guan Yue has always sat under the ring, but he has not even paid attention to the battles of other academies, and it can be seen that Guan Yue has not been worried about the ownership of the champion from the beginning, after all, aside from others, just a blood moon can actually guarantee the champion position of Qindu Academy.
Eighteen teams drew lots to fight again, Qindu Academy was still soaring, and it was also a beautiful 4-0 that swept the opponent, this time, the strongest person in the team, Xue Mingyue, did not continue to choose not to fight, but directly faced a genius of the second stage of the golden section among the opponents.
The result is of course conceivable, Xue Mingyue only made one move, and directly blasted the other party to the audience, and he couldn't stand up for a long time, such a terrifying gap made the disciples of other academies tremble, and the eyes that looked at Xue Mingyue were simply full of fear.
Everyone understands that among all the people in this session, Blood Mingyue is definitely a lonely defeat, no matter who is against Blood Mingyue, the result is bound to be doomed.
It seems that not to mention defeating Qindu Academy, even if they want to have a team battle with Qindu Academy, they don't have a chance at all.
The suspense of the championship battle was lost early, and the subsequent battles were a little uninteresting for the major academies, after all, every academy came to participate in the battle this time, and they came to the championship position, and no one wanted to see such a situation.
