Chapter 21: Xiaobi
The sun sets, and you walk into an ethereal dream, but every night will not last long, and when the sun rises, you will wake up from the dream and sigh the passage of time.
Lin Yu didn't know how many days he had been cultivating, and he was still immersed in cultivation.
At this moment, the sound of ......"bells and bells" suddenly sounded outside the house.
Lin Yu was stunned, hurriedly strode out of the house, and raised his head to look at the top of the mountain. I saw that the sound of the bell came from the top of the Shadow Peak, and it was louder than the other, for a long time.
"Could it be that today is the day of the Shadow Peak Xiaobi!" Lin Yu listened to the bell, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
It's no wonder that Lin Yu has been immersed in cultivation for the past few days, where can he still remember the time, if it weren't for the sound of the bell that resounded in the sky, I'm afraid Lin Yu would still be unable to extricate himself from cultivation.
And at this moment, I saw that from the bottom of the mountain, I could vaguely see a figure jumping and heading straight to the top of the mountain, and there was also a faint figure of a sword in the sky.
Seeing this, Lin Yu hesitated a little in his heart, and then took out five lower-grade spirit stones and held them in his hand to replenish the overdrawn spiritual power.
Those are five low-grade spirit stones! If you let others see it, you will definitely say that Lin Yu is a loser, and he is a celestial thing!
However, Lin Yu didn't care, and after replenishing it, he immediately pinched the trick and cast a spell, condensing an extremely fast wind flow under his feet, and swept towards the top of the mountain.
After a short while, seventy or eighty branch disciples gathered around the Shadow Peak Peak Square, all of them looking at the two people in the center with solemn expressions.
One Confucian is the master of the Shadow Peak, and the other is a beautiful woman in her thirties with green hair.
The beautiful nun can stand with Changshu, and if you think about it, you know that she is Changshu's wife.
In addition to some newcomers and those disciples I saw last time, there are also many unfamiliar faces here, both old and young, although they are all kind, but they all have a condensed aura, and it is obvious that most of the cultivation is not simple. Sure enough, in the world of cultivation, people can't be deceived by appearances.
About a cup of tea exercises, more than a dozen branch disciples fell around the square, and after a while, no one appeared, and Changshu finally spoke with a light cough.
"Very good, except for those few disciples who couldn't rush back in time because of the sect's mission, all the disciples of our Shadow Peak branch have already arrived. This is also the first small comparison of this vein since several new junior disciples started. All disciples who perform well in Xiaobi will be rewarded with certain rewards, and the top five disciples with the best performance will not only be qualified to participate in the Six Veins Conference, but will also have additional heavy rewards. Then the Shadow Peak Xiaobi officially began. ”
After the long book was finished, half of the Shadow Peak was completely in an uproar, Xiaobi was a very important day for most people, and there would be some elders, personal disciples to come to watch, and even occasionally the masters of other branches would come, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to stand out from the crowd of disciples.
At this time, the female cultivator beside Changshu smiled faintly and walked up to the front and back in a few steps, and lightly tapped the storage bag in her waist with her slender hand, and suddenly a faint white light was fleeting.
After the banging sound sounded, a cloud of white gas rolled away, and more than a dozen things appeared out of thin air in the center of the square.
When Lin Yu saw this, his eyes lit up, and he thought, "It turned out to be this thing, it seems to be a little interesting." ”
The white light dissipated, and I saw dozens of humanoid puppets of different shapes in the middle of the square come out, some wearing thick armor, some holding swords, and some holding halberds in their hands, which can be described as majestic and majestic.
Kara, Kara, Kara......
Ten heavily armed golems in the first row stepped out.
These heavy puppets are two meters tall, their bodies are made of a strange piece of wood, and their eyes are two thin pieces of special spirit stones, emitting a faint cold light, murderous aura, obviously not idle things.
Lin Yu was not too surprised by this, the world is full of wonders, and the invention of puppets is only a very small part of it, but it can be seen that Lin Yu's master is a rare puppeteer.
Although the puppet is not intelligent, it can sense people nearby and make various attacks, which is quite amazing. And the owner of the puppet can also use the true spirit between him and the puppet to manipulate it, which also makes the puppet very easy and convenient.
"According to the old rules, the first part is a test of ten people together, and those who pass the test stand on the right and accept the test below, and those who fail have to leave the field. This test is a test of your strength, spells, and reaction speed. Regardless of the means used, defeat the golem to advance. If I find out that defeat is a certainty, I will stop it immediately. Alright, let's get started. The beautiful nun explained a few words, and then waved her hand to start.
Suddenly, everyone in the square was gearing up and eager to try.
Changshu coughed lightly and said, "New disciples, come forward and let all the senior brothers and sisters who have not yet seen you know each other." Our Shadow Peak branch may not be very strong in the sect, but if we work together, we are by no means inferior to the other veins. ”
Hearing what Changshu said, Lin Yu and many other newcomers naturally walked out, and after reporting their names, they bowed to the others around them. Naturally, the other disciples returned the salute with smiles on their faces.
After Changshu nodded slightly, the test officially began.
And Lin Yu was a newcomer, and of course he didn't know much about these puppets, so he was arranged to play last.
Among the ten people who came on the field first was Yang Fan, although Lin Yu didn't know how he cultivated, but Lin Yu couldn't see through the fluctuations of his spiritual power, and it should be very promising to defeat the heavily armed puppet.
The heavily armed puppet sensed that someone was approaching, his heavy arm bent quickly, and he slashed at Yang Fan with a sword, and the strong true spirit blew his long hair flying.
As if he had expected it, Yang Fan unhurriedly sent out the long sword, forcibly blocked the sword attack of the heavily armed puppet, and his body took a few steps back, and an undetectable crack was drawn on the ground.
After a slight adjustment, Yang Fan jumped up, and with a swing of his long sword, the sharp sword qi slashed towards the neck of the heavily armed puppet.
Sou!
The puppet's reaction was really sharp, and its cross arm blocked Yang Fan's fatal blow, and its sword qi only scratched a faint sword mark on that arm. Immediately, the puppet's left hand clenched into a fist and blasted out again, the speed of the fist was unpredictable.
"It's amazing. The many disciples who worshiped the Jingyun Sect with Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, sighing at the strength of the heavily equipped puppet, which obviously had no life fluctuations, but its movements were calm and powerful, and they were majestic, just like a living person.
Seeing this, Lin Yu was also slightly amazed, and couldn't help but be very interested in the puppet refining method.
In an instant, Yang Fan took a few steps back, pinched his hands, and said something in his mouth, and the next moment, there was a true spirit shield behind his arm. Blocking the puppet's punch, he took five steps back with his body steady, leaving deep footprints on each step.
After blocking the puppet's fierce punch, Yang Fan sneered, as if he had seen through the puppet.
"Spirit Slash!"
Seeing that the heavy puppet was not reluctant, Yang Fan gave up his defense, swept away with his sword, and in an instant, there were two evil dragons on the sword that rolled out wildly, and the momentum was violent.
Click!
The heavy golem didn't throw a punch, and the wooden arm was gone.
Yang Fan snorted coldly, his thumb was upright, and the palm mixed with the true spirit slashed towards the puppet's head.
Shi Po's shocked palm slashed into the head of the heavily loaded puppet, and suddenly the head flew backwards for more than ten meters, and the headless puppet struggled slightly, and then fell to the ground motionless.
Seeing this scene, the female cultivator, who had been watching with a smile, immediately said loudly: "Pass the level!"
Unlike here, the word "failure" is repeated elsewhere.
Soon, the first group of ten people finished the test, only six people passed, and the others were all eliminated and left the square helplessly.
And the reloaded puppet didn't know what weird spell to use, and after being defeated, it was strangely restored under the manipulation of Lin Yu's mother, and continued to fight with the test participants. Luckily, if you defeat them, you'll be able to pass the level, and if the puppets are in the hands of the enemy, then you'll have to fight a bloody battle. However, these puppets used in the test have this power, so the puppet supernatural powers treasured by Lin Yu, the master's mother, can be seen to be shocking. Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but look at this master twice.
At the time of a few pillars of incense, the first few sets of tests were also over, and only half of them passed the test, and there were only about 50 people left in the square where more than 100 people were standing, and it was empty. It seems that the rumors that the Shadow Peak branch has been weak for many years are indeed true.
Finally it was Lin Yu's turn to be a group of newcomers, and the long book standing on the high platform swept his eyes over Lin Yu and the others, nodding slightly, and Lin Yu and the others walked towards the center of the square.
After Lin Yu took a deep breath, he slightly urged the "Remnant Spirit Decision", and immediately a layer of faint true spirit rolled out of his body, and walked towards the heavily armed puppet.
Seeing this, Changshu's eyes stared slightly. On the other side, the master and wife, who was originally talking to the person next to her, couldn't help but sigh lightly after seeing the vision on Lin Yu's body with a sweep of her eyes.
After being stunned slightly, the female cultivator raised her eyebrows and asked, "Husband, you also noticed it, right?"
"Well, the exercises practiced by this son are not owned by the original lineage or sect. But looking at its ingenuity, it is clear that it has surpassed those ordinary exercises in the sect. Long Shu replied.
"It's not surprising that there is such a thing, it seems that this son also had an adventure outside, and he was able to obtain this exercise. The beautiful nun looked at Lin Yu with some interest.
At this time, the heavily armed puppet finally sensed Lin Yu's existence. The two arms suddenly raised the iron lock in their hands above their heads and threw it hard towards Lin Yu.
When the iron chain was about to touch Lin Yu's forehead, he saw that his palm was slightly raised, and there were non-existent true spirit fluctuations around him. When the chain touched, it seemed like a drop of water falling on the surface of the lake, and there was a ripple of the true spirits around it.
Lin Yu's performance made many disciples around the square look surprised.
After dissolving the puppet move, Lin Yu also knew a little about it. This heavily equipped puppet was impressively equivalent to the strength of a Ninefold Qi Gathering Qi cultivator.
The puppet was about to attack for the second time, but Lin Yu's two arms suddenly adjusted to the true spirit, and with a soft shout, he rushed directly to the puppet.
The incantation sounded, Lin Yu's right hand was retracted and released, and the cold cold mist churned out, and everywhere he went, a thin layer of frost formed on the ground.
Seeing the cold air coming, the puppet without wisdom didn't think much about it, nor did it dodge, but after suddenly turning around and waving the iron cable, it raised its palm and slashed towards Lin Yu without warning.
The iron rope attacked again, but Lin Yu, who had been prepared, only moved his feet slightly, and avoided the frontal attack of the iron rope at a strange angle, and at the same time, his wrist pulled out the long sword behind him, and suddenly a white light appeared, and the "cold ice sword" iron cable sent out had been cut into two sections. At this time, the cold mist also devoured the heavy puppet, and when the cold air swallowed up, the originally imposing puppet instantly condensed ice cubes and stood in place unable to move.
Seeing this, Lin Yu still didn't let go, his eyes flashed, and suddenly his body was full of true spirits, and his body was a little lighter than before, and he was a little more flexible between tossing and turning. With a twist of his body, like a meteor, he slashed close to the front of the puppet.
As soon as his arm moved, the long sword with a cold aura swung directly at the waist of the heavily armed puppet, and at the same time, he whispered: "Slash!"
The cold ice sword let out a crisp dragon roar, and a few ice picks condensed on the surface, and with the sound of icing, the biting cold air rushed out.
With a "click", the heavily armed puppet was slashed by this cold bone marrow long sword at such a close distance.
The puppet created by the long sword was immediately forced back a few feet, but the heavily armed puppet was unharmed, and the body that was originally full of ice began to gradually shatter.
The corners of Lin Yu's mouth rose slightly, and after the "Cold Ice Sword" was sheathed, he slowly walked in front of the puppet, the corner of his mouth smiled faintly, and with a slight push of his left hand, the upper body of the heavily armed puppet slowly fell off the waist and was divided into two halves.
Everyone's eyes widened, looking incredible, Lin Yu's previous understatement of defensive performance was already powerful enough, this time he actually cut off the heavily armed puppet with a sword, the puppet was like a child who had not yet learned to walk in front of him, and his amazing performance couldn't help but make people dumbfounded.
Changshu looked at Lin Yu on the field, and said with relief: "Shadow Peak has always had few talents, but this time there is finally one, if he redoubles his efforts, the next Six Veins Conference will definitely be generous and glorious." ”
"Not bad. It's not easy for him to make such progress in such a short period of time. Judging by his reactions, he should have had a lot of actual combat experience. The beautiful woman was also a little happy when she saw this scene.
"Things will be destroyed, and the beauty will eventually fall, this genius of the world is the easiest to fall, I hope he will not be proud. Long Shu muttered.
After the announcement was passed, Lin Yu walked back to the new disciples amid the many surprised eyes around him.
As soon as they entered the new disciples, they gathered around Lin Yu.
"Senior Brother Lin, you are so powerful, you can cut off that puppet with one sword, it really surprises us, I didn't expect you to have such magical powers. Ye Ling, who was also a new disciple, waited for Lin Yu to come back, and then congratulated him.
"Yes, Brother Lin, your swordsmanship is exquisite. If we hadn't participated in the introductory examination with you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to believe that you were all freshmen like us. Liu Lianshan looked at Lin Yu with an envious eye.
