Chapter 10 The Great Zhou Martial Arts Test
Teacher Qin's words were like an initiation, which made Yang Hao suddenly realize that there is no absolute distinction between good and evil in this world, just like the ancient jade of the evil emperor on his neck, it was originally an ordinary jade, and it was called an evil thing because it was injected into the evil emperor's cultivation!
Yang Hao came back to his senses, Teacher Qin's figure had quietly left, and the library room at this time was very quiet, and only a few unfamiliar figures were vaguely seen shaking in the library.
Yang Hao returned to the dormitory, it was almost late at night, Tang Xin and the others had already slept, the last candle in the room was extinguished, and he also fell asleep......
At the beginning of the new academic year, the number of courses required as an intermediate martial artist has increased significantly, unlike that of a beginner martial artist. In addition to learning many martial arts, martial artists also have to learn courses such as history, writing, and continental law.
In the case of history, what a beginner martial artist learns stays at the level of understanding, while the intermediate martial artist stage improves to the level of mastery.
Through familiarizing himself with the "General History of Chiyan", Yang Hao knew that there were hundreds of countries in the current continent, among which the three empires of Great Zhou, Great Yan and Great Chu stood on their feet. For more than 100 years, although the mainland has been in a calm scene on the surface, it is also an undercurrent.
This year, a writing course was added, which is a course that studies the writing of various countries on the mainland today and the development of writing on the mainland since ancient times.
Through study, Yang Hao initially mastered some ancient scripts, which have a history of thousands of years and are the oldest written characters ever recorded in the mainland.
Yang Hao usually has to learn the necessary courses, that is, to practice martial arts, this kind of life seems extremely monotonous and boring, but Yang Hao feels that it is real. A hard work, a gain, martial arts cultivation is also slowly improving.
In the mangrove forest in the mountain behind Wumeng Academy, Yang Hao sat cross-legged, quietly feeling the dense aura of heaven and earth, and what surprised him was that the evil emperor Gu Yu did not greedily absorb the aura of heaven and earth around him as usual, and seemed very quiet.
As time passed, Yang Hao gradually entered an ethereal state, and at this time, the Evil Emperor Gu Yu seemed to have a sense, sending out a faint fluctuation in his chest, and then several ancient words appeared in Yang Hao's mind, followed by dozens, hundreds. These ancient texts are neatly arranged.
Yang Hao was shocked, because he knew that these ancient words were connected together to be a secret heart method.
"Could it be the exercises that the Evil Emperor cultivated back then?" Yang Hao couldn't help but feel trembling all over, he tried his best not to think about these ancient words, but these ancient words seemed to have spirituality, and they had been deeply engraved in his mind, and he couldn't forget them.
It took a quarter of an hour for Yang Hao to come out of this ethereal state, but the mantra composed of that ancient text had been deeply engraved into his mind.
This exercise mantra is obscure and difficult to understand, and with Yang Hao's current insight and cultivation, it is impossible to understand the true meaning and mystery of the exercise.
Sitting in the mangrove forest, feeling the tranquility and peace at the moment, Yang Hao had a lot of thoughts, he didn't know what kind of turbulent waves were hidden under the tranquility on the surface......
Packing up his mind, Yang Hao got up and stood up, walked out of the mangrove forest, and he came to a cliff in the mountain behind the academy. From here, you can overlook the huge Wumeng Academy, and even take in half of Yunzhou City.
The afterglow of the setting sun shot into Yunzhou City, adding a faint hazy beauty to the already slightly vicissitudes of Yunzhou City.
"Yang Hao, three-year appointment, I hope you don't let me down!!"
Yang Hao's heart appeared Xiao Yue's beautiful face, what can he do in three years? Even if he has achieved something after three years, how can he compete with the Lin family?
As the sun sets over the horizon, the last of the afterglow fades and night falls.
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk......
Two months later, a message on the notice board of Umon Academy caught the attention of all the students in the school.
The triennial Great Zhou Martial Arts Examination will be held in Yunzhou City three days later, and all the major academies from the Great Zhou Empire will send students to participate, and even the other two empires will also send teams to participate in the martial arts examination.
Yang Hao was not surprised by this kind of news, he didn't even have much interest in the martial arts test, and he changed his mind when an old antique from the academy called him to talk.
According to the antiques of the academy, as a student of Wumeng Academy, they should all fight for the honor of the academy, and after this martial arts test, those with excellent strength may be selected to serve in the army, while those with top strength are more likely to be favored by the major sects and accepted under the sect.
Yang Hao was already extremely yearning for the world of cultivators, if this martial arts test could emerge, it might not be a good thing for him, and if he wanted to compete with the Lin family, he must have a strong backing.
After two months of hard work, Yang Hao's strength has reached the late stage of an intermediate martial artist, and he has faintly broken through to the level of a senior martial artist, Yang Hao knows that this is due to his diligence and hard work, and also due to the evil emperor Gu Yu on his body.
I don't know when, Yang Hao gradually discovered that the Evil Emperor Gu Yu began to inject faint true qi into his body, and these true qi could promote his dantian to continue to grow, so that the dantian that ordinary people would take at least ten years to open, Yang Hao could complete it in such a short time, which was simply a shocking thing in the eyes of others.
In the martial arts arena, Yang Hao practiced all the martial arts he had learned. Thinking of the martial arts test three days later, he was a little excited, martial arts can only exert the greatest power in the battle, and he can also find his own shortcomings.
Yunzhou City, the largest city on the southwestern border of the Great Zhou Empire, was particularly solemn and tense today, with a large number of troops patrolling the streets and alleys to maintain order.
Warriors from all over the mainland have gathered in Yunzhou City, Yunzhou City City Guards covers an area of 100 acres, one of the martial arts arenas is enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people, usually used to practice soldiers and horses, and this time it is used to hold martial arts tests.
Several tall stone platforms were erected in the martial arts arena, and the people sitting on the stands were middle-aged men in the middle, wearing gorgeous clothes, who looked like the kind of person who was either rich or noble.
Sitting next to the middle-aged man was a half-white general in armor, who was the city guard of Yunzhou City, Sun Yan, who got up from his seat with a burly figure and said: "Today is the triennial martial arts test of the Great Zhou, and the purpose of this martial arts test is to select talents for the Great Zhou and serve my Great Zhou." According to the custom, every time there is a martial arts test, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou will send people from the royal family to participate!"
Before Gongsun Yan's voice fell, the middle-aged man got up and said to everyone in the audience: "In Xia Ji Xuan, he is the king of Wucheng in the current Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is presiding over this martial arts test by His Majesty's order, but those who perform well will be reused!"
Next, Gongsun Yan announced the rules of the martial arts test, according to the rules, each academy also sent five junior martial artists, five intermediate martial artists, and five senior martial artists to participate in the martial arts examination.
The martial arts test is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced, and there are no less than ten colleges from all over the Great Zhou, so the total number of martial artists participating in the competition is as many as 200.
The martial arts test is divided into three stages, the first stage is the competition of junior martial artists, each academy sends five people to participate in the martial arts test, and these five people are the best in the academy.
The martial arts test is decided by drawing lots, and after a round of competition, half of the junior martial artists are eliminated.
Among the five junior martial artists sent by the Umeng Academy, three men and two women won all of them in the first round of the competition, which made the vice president who led the team feel very pleased.
On the five high platforms made of white marble, the martial arts test was in full swing, and people from all over the mainland gathered their eyes on the high platforms.
Yang Hao, Tang Xin and others stood quietly outside the martial arts arena to watch the battle, and their keen intuition told Yang Hao that there were many cultivators with advanced cultivation in the crowd watching the battle today.
It's not surprising to think that such a grand martial arts test gathered tens of thousands of people, and many cultivators from the major sects on the mainland came to watch the battle.
Yang Hao raised his head and looked at the stands, five and a half hundred old men were sitting in danger, and they could sit side by side with King Wucheng of the Great Zhou, which must also have a great background.
"Those five people are the patriarchs of the five major families in Yunzhou City, and the five major families have deep roots in Yunzhou City and even in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and their power is intertwined, even the royal family does not dare to underestimate them!"
Teacher Qin didn't know when he came behind Yang Hao and introduced the people watching the game in the stands to Yang Hao one by one.
The first stage of the competition entered the final stage, and only one student from each house won the competition.
The competition came to an end, and the crowd withdrew from the martial arts arena one after another, but the tens of thousands of spectators were a headache for Sun Yan, the defender of Yunzhou City, and how to place these people became a matter that could not be ignored.
Although Yunzhou City is located in the southwest border of the Great Zhou, it is also one of the most prosperous cities in the Great Zhou, and the inns of all sizes in the city are full of people, which is really overcrowded!
After coming to the inn arranged by the college, Yang Hao entered his room, which was simply furnished, with a large wooden bed, a small wooden table and a wooden chair.
Thinking of tomorrow's martial arts test, Yang Hao felt an inexplicable excitement, he has been cultivating hard for so many days, it depends on how far he has come, if a martial artist wants to make a breakthrough, he can only keep fighting!
Yang Hao was closing his eyes in the room to recuperate, he could feel the subtle changes in the depths of his dantian, and a meager layer of vitality lingered around his dantian.
Entering the ethereal state again, Yang Hao seemed to be in a void space, at this moment, the Evil Emperor Gu Yu on his neck reacted, and a faint true qi was injected into Yang Hao's eyebrows, and at that moment, he saw a lot of unfamiliar scenes, which were combined to form a clear picture.
"These are ...... fragments of memory...... that remain!"
Yang Hao was shocked, these scenes were the remnants of the memories of the Evil Emperor Gu Yuli.
"Could it be the remnants of the evil emperor?" Yang Hao said to himself.
