Chapter 32: The Suffocating Archery
"It turns out that Miss Murong is so violent!"
At the end of the team, Tang Tianxiao was also frightened by Murong Xiaoxiao's style of play. He and Murong Xiaoxiao are not very familiar with each other, but they have met a few times in Muyang Pavilion, and they only feel gentle and elegant, but they never thought that their strength would be so strong.
"Her talent is really good!"
Ling Yun also nodded and said, but he looked intently at the sword-wielding figure in the field. Murong Xiaoxiao's strength was not weak, and it was not difficult to deal with these puppets, so he was not very surprised. Moreover, from Murong Xiaoxiao, he also felt something different from before.
A very faint fluctuation, like ripples, emanated from Murong Xiaoxiao's body, covering the entire testing area. It was also this kind of ripple that made the puppet's action a little sluggish, although it was only a little bit, but it was of great help to Murong Xiaoxiao. Coupled with its already strong swordsmanship, there is really no difficulty in shaking the puppet head-on.
However, although he didn't know what kind of spell this ripple was, the cost of mana was definitely not low, and Ling Yun could feel the mana that was rapidly consumed on Murong Xiaoxiao's body. Even if Murong Xiaoxiao is a fourth-level Qi cultivator, it is estimated that he will not be able to last long.
"Excellent grades, next!"
Sure enough, after only holding on for thirty breaths, Murong Xiaoxiao ran out of mana and stopped the test. On the one hand, it is necessary to urge the mana to form "ripples", and on the other hand, it is necessary to perform swordsmanship, so the consumption of mana is particularly large, resulting in the persistence time is not as good as that of Li Xin and Mu Lian. However, judging from the record, it is far superior to the two, and there is only one puppet left on the field. Even if Murong Xiaoxiao fights, she can close the last one, but this is not her character, so she didn't force it.
Seeing Murong Xiaoxiao's strong strength, Tang Tianxiao turned around and tugged at Ling Yun's sleeve, and whispered: "Brother Ling, why don't you beg Miss Murong and pull her into the gang?" With her, who are we afraid of tomorrow!"
"With our strength, are we embarrassed to drag the girl back?" Ling Yun was speechless for a while, shook his head slightly and refused.
Hearing this, Tang Tian laughed, but then defended: "How can this be said to be a delay, this is called cooperation!"
"Stop, if you have time to think about this, it's better to pay close attention to these people, and if you meet them tomorrow, you can know how to deal with them." Ling Yun directly interrupted Tang Tianxiao's words and admonished.
"Well, well, it looks like we're going to have to fight hard tomorrow. Tang Tianxiao said helplessly, but soon his expression froze, and he looked at the person who was testing carefully, paying careful attention.
With Murong Xiaoxiao's amazing performance, the others naturally seemed a little mediocre, even if someone chose to shake it head-on and take down the six puppets strongly, it would hardly be called wonderful. And as time passed little by little, the queue had come to an end, and finally it was Ling Yun's turn.
"Don't fight hard. ”
Before Tang Tianxiao came on the field, Ling Yun instructed. The power of the puppet is not small, and it is not a very good factor for Tang Tianxiao.
"Don't worry, I'm measured!"
Tang Tianxiao nodded, he was just poor before, after all, when it came to entering the martial arts academy, he still knew the severity. To deal with these mechanical golems, he had already thought of countermeasures.
"Let's go!"
With the order of the teacher, all the puppets moved.
Tang Tianxiao didn't take the way of wandering, his new swordsmanship was good at group combat rather than wandering. Therefore, in everyone's surprised gaze, Tang Tianxiao took a direct step and killed into the puppet.
Such a tough approach naturally attracted a burst of applause from others, and they cheered for Tang Tianxiao.
"Tang Gongzi directly chooses to fight head-on, will he be a little reckless?"
Behind Ling Yun, Murong Xiaoxiao walked over, perhaps frightened by Tang Tianxiao's movements, and couldn't help but ask.
"Facing each other head-on, Miss Murong, if you really think so, you will be deceived by him. Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but smile and said.
Ling Yun's words made Murong Xiaoxiao a little stunned, but she soon froze. In the test area, Tang Tianxiao was surrounded by puppets, which seemed to be very dangerous, but his body was flexible, although it gave people a feeling of jumping up and down, he frequently dodged killing moves. Tang Tianxiao's swordsmanship is also very peculiar, obviously the sword of the puppet is slashed towards him, but he is slashed at another puppet by his swordsmanship, and the rhythm of the attack is completely carried away, and it cannot pose much of a threat to him.
And the most incomprehensible thing for Murong Xiaoxiao was that there was a chance to turn off the mechanical puppet, but Tang Tianxiao didn't realize it and didn't try it at all.
"Ling Gongzi's friend is really peculiar, I thought I wanted to be as amazing as Miss Murong, but I didn't want to be just a monkey jumping up and down. ”
Just as they were looking at it, a voice sounded from behind the two, but it was Mu Lian who walked over. He was ridiculed by Ling Yun before, but now that he finds an opportunity, he naturally won't let it go.
"As long as you can get the results you want, what does it matter if it's ugly. When Mu Gongzi was rolling on the ground like a monkey just now, he didn't seem to feel embarrassed!" Someone provoked, Ling Yun naturally wouldn't be polite, and choked back.
Hearing this, Mu Lian's face turned red, and then he snorted coldly and said, "Ling Gongzi is still so sharp-toothed. It's a pity that no matter how much you can say it, it's not as important as the strength in your hands. I really want to know how Ling Gongzi will deal with the game for a while, but don't stop as soon as you go up, it will disappoint us. ”
"Oh, since Mu Gongzi cares so much, it's better to gamble. Mu Lian's sarcasm Ling Yun didn't take it to heart, but said in a changed tone.
"Okay, how does Ling Gongzi want to bet?"
"This puppet, if I can close one, you will lose me 10,000 taels of silver, how about it?" Ling Yun said.
"An organ puppet is 10,000 taels of silver, Ling Gongzi is wishful thinking. If you are lucky enough to close one or two, you can win money, and if you can't close it, there will be no loss, my Mu family's money didn't fall from the sky, Ling Gongzi really took me as a big wrong!"
Seeing that he was recognized, Ling Yun was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Then how does Mu Gongzi want to gamble?"
"I don't embarrass you, if you can close the five puppets, I will give 100,000 taels of silver, and I should celebrate Ling Gongzi. If I can't win it, Ling Gongzi will pay me 50,000 silver. Mu Lian said, as if he was worried that Ling Yun would not agree, and deliberately gave a relatively loss-making bet.
"Ling Gongzi. ”
On the side, Murong Xiaoxiao was worried about Ling Yun's impulsiveness and reminded softly.
"Okay, a word is a decision!" Ling Yun didn't think about it, and responded directly.
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Mu Lian's eyes, and he repeatedly made provocative remarks, just to provoke Lingyun to go on the test. Although these mechanical puppets have been transformed, their strength is not very strong, but even so, they are not something that mortals can deal with. It would be best if you could use this to cause serious injuries to them. If Ling Yun stopped directly, he could not only easily earn 50,000 taels of silver, but also use this to humiliate Ling Yun. Either way, it's a very good outcome for him.
"Please also ask Miss Murong and Brother Li to be a witness!" As if he was still worried that Ling Yun would regret it, Mu Lian pulled Li Xin over as well.
Li Xin looked at the two of them a little strangely, judging from the recent contact, he didn't believe that Ling Yun was the kind of person who was easy to be fooled, but he was afraid that Mu Lian would be tricked again. But now in front of everyone, he couldn't remind him, so he had to nod his head and take the job.
Murong Xiaoxiao was originally a little hesitant, but after Ling Yun's eyes signaled that she was relieved, she had to nod her head in agreement.
"Excellent grades, next!"
Just when Ling Yun and Mu Lian confirmed the gambling game, Tang Tianxiao's test had also ended. And the results of the test also made the people watching from the sidelines speechless for a while.
In the test area, not a single puppet was closed, and Tang Tianxiao actually carried ten puppets for a hundred and twenty breaths. If it weren't for the final mana exhaustion, I'm afraid it would last longer.
"Congratulations!"
Ling Yun stepped forward directly and sent a word of blessing.
"I have to thank Brother Ling. ”
Tang Tianxiao returned the salute very solemnly. He is not polite, if it weren't for Ling Yun, he would still be in disappointment and couldn't extricate himself, and it was difficult to say whether he could pass the first three subjects. And today's test, thanks to Ling Yun's previous training for him, allowed him to practice this new set of swordsmanship.
Ling Yun smiled faintly, didn't say much, patted Tang Tianxiao on the shoulder, and then walked to the weapon rack on the side.
Not far away, Mu Lian, who was originally full of confidence, saw Ling Yun walking towards the weapon rack, his heart jumped for no reason, he suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly and asked Li Xin beside him: "Brother Li, can scholars also learn weapons?"
"Of course, scholars practice the six arts, and among them is archery. However, I have never seen Ling Gongzi use arrows, but I don't know how to use arrows. Li Xin replied.
"Oops!"
Hearing this, Mu Lian secretly said that it was not good. When he looked up, he saw Ling Yun pick up a bow and a quiver full of arrows. As if sensing Mu Lian's gaze, Ling Yun looked back with a smile on his face.
"You've been recruited, are you sure you want to test it?"
Seeing that Ling Yun came, it was a rare reminder to teach. After all, Ling Yun is quite famous now, and if there is any accident in the test, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Linhai Martial Academy.
"Thank you for the reminder, students have their own measure. Ling Yun thanked him.
Hearing this, the teacher nodded slightly, and no longer forced it, let Ling Yun enter the test area, and only after he was ready did he activate the puppet.
"Let's go!"
As the words fell, Ling Yun quickly drew an arrow from behind him and put the arrow on his bow.
"Huh"
A sound of breaking the air sounded, and arrows shot out, and by the time others saw them again, they had already appeared on the eyebrows of a puppet. The puppet that was shot also stopped in an instant.
"Shot!" an arrow hit, causing a wave of surprise to those watching around.
"If it were that easy, we would all be able to practice archery!"
The most calm, but Tang Tianxiao, who had just ended. He knew that Ling Yun had a calm personality, and since he dared to play, he would definitely have a way to deal with it. However, after glancing at Mu Lian, Tang Tianxiao coughed lightly, deliberately smacked his lips, and said, "Oh, one arrow hits, how can you shoot so accurately!"
Hearing this, Mu Lian's eyes narrowed slightly, of course he understood that Tang Tianxiao was doing this on purpose, but in front of Murong Xiaoxiao and Li Xin, it was not easy to attack. snorted lightly, his face was still calm, but he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Luck, it must be luck." ”
"Huh"
Ling Yun didn't stop, the second arrow shot again, the puppet was less than ten meters away from him, and there wasn't much time left for him.
"Smack"
The arrow hit again, and another puppet came to an abrupt halt. The precision of the arrow made everyone watching suffocate for a while.
"Oh, this arrow, why did you shoot another arrow!"
