Chapter 400: The Challenge of Alchemy (Part I)
Mu Zichen's defeat basically established Mu Shi's stable position, at least in the eyes of these people, her perverted demons are enough to compare with a few monsters in the inner courtyard.
Mu Zichen admits defeat very simply, although he only suffered a skin injury, but seeing that Mu Shi is still alive, and recognizing Mu Shi, there is no reason to continue fighting, and even go down with a smile.
Mu Shi calmed his breathing, and his mood was very comfortable, he hadn't played so happily for a long time.
The scorching sun overhead had risen to its highest point, and it was unreservedly releasing its own light and heat, and it was noon.
Jin Daojiao glanced at Mu Shi, shook his head helplessly, raised his voice and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?" ”
Students, look at me, I look at you, and the last glance involuntarily fell on Mu Zichen, who was still a little embarrassed when he walked back to the audience.
Even the first in the outer courtyard was defeated, can anyone else beat this mysterious guardian named Jiang Muqi?
It seems that after many years, the inner court is finally going to have another female disciple.
.......
For a while, the people in the arena had different hearts, but no one dared to jump out to challenge.
Yao Fengjiu quickly recovered her spirit under the treatment of the powerful light magician, and also witnessed most of the battle between Mu Shi and Mu Zichen, seeing Mu Zichen's defeat, she couldn't help but start worrying that Mu Zichen would also drill the horns like him.
After all, Mu Zichen has already defeated the defenders three times in a row, and there were signs before.
So Yao Fengjiu went down to pick up Mu Zichen with concern, but was stunned when he saw Mu Zichen's eyes.
"Huh? Feng Jiu, are you okay? How did it come down. Mu Zichen was a little surprised to see Yao Fengjiu, and then he was gentle and caring as always.
Yao Fengjiu shook his head and said that he was fine, walked to Mu Zichen's side and held Mu Zichen's arm and walked back, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know her?" ”
"Huh? Who is it? Mu Zichen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked.
"That Jiang Muqi." Yao Fengjiu bit his lip, and there was still a little unwillingness on his beautiful face.
Mu Zichen was taken aback, but years of experience had made him develop a style of doing things that did not change everywhere, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Why do you think so?" ”
"Do you believe me when I say it's a woman's intuition?" Yao Fengjiu said quietly.
Mu Zichen was a little amused, and said, "That woman's intuition is really a terrifying thing. ”
"You're avoiding my questions." Yao Fengjiu suddenly stopped, staring at Mu Zichen with burning eyes. She was originally supporting Mu Zichen's arm, and as soon as she stopped, Mu Zichen naturally pulled it.
Mu Zichen turned his head a little unnaturally and coughed lightly, "What is it that makes you feel this way?" ”
"Because you're laughing." Yao Fengjiu stared at Mu Zichen's eyes and said quietly.
"Laugh?" Mu Zichen raised his free hand blankly and touched his face.
"It's your eyes that are smiling, maybe you can't feel it, you can't hide the smile in your eyes at all." Yao Fengjiu stared at Mu Zichen with a sad look in his eyes, "You shouldn't show such eyes." ”
Mu Zichen's eyes were a little fluttering, and he smiled reluctantly, "You're thinking too much, let's go first, this guard game should be over." With that, he broke free of Yao Fengjiu's hand, and walked straight towards the place where the student union was sitting.
At this moment, a feminine voice sounded softly, "In that case, I'm here to draw an end to this defense." With the fluttering of the voice, a thin figure walked out of the passage in front of Mu Zichen, but Mu Zichen was very surprised, "Dan Wuche? ”
This is a young man who doesn't look very well, his body is weak and his face is pale, and he loses both qi and blood at a glance. But his brown eyes were very bright, faintly red, very strange.
The unique costume of the alchemist shows his identity, Dan Wuche, the head of the alchemy department of the Ochre Academy, although his unique physique makes him very weak, and his own combat power can't even enter the top fifty of the outer courtyard, but his talent in alchemy is amazing, no one dares to laugh at him, and even often flatters him.
Although Dan Wuche was a genius alchemist, he didn't have any arrogance, nodded politely at Mu Zichen and Yao Fengjiu, and calmly passed by Mu Zichen.
"Is he going to die? With his broken body, Jiang Muqi can crush him with one hand, right? Yao Fengjiu was puzzled.
Mu Zichen looked at Dan Wuche's thin back with a complicated expression, sighed and spoke, "Don't forget, as long as you are within the ability of the defender, any challenge is okay. ”
Yao Fengjiu was nodded by Mu Zichen, and suddenly came to his senses, "What do you mean...... Jiang Muqi is also an alchemist?! No way?! Is she so lucky?! ”
Mu Zichen smiled faintly, the curvature of the corners of her mouth with a taste of pride, "Her strange golden flame is enough to prove her identity as an alchemist." Feng Jiu, admit defeat, she does have the qualifications to be a disciple of the inner court. ”
Yao Fengjiu looked at the dazzling girl in the ring a little blankly, and was speechless for a while.
Dan Yiche walked to the edge of the ring and looked up at Mu Shi calmly, his bright eyes even bowing to Mu Shi. Mu Shi was surprised to find that when he glanced at him, his brain felt a little tingling, and he subconsciously looked away.
"I'm sorry, but I have special eyes, so please don't look at them for too long." Dan Yiche said softly.
Mu Shi couldn't help but look at this strange young man, the other party's eyes seemed to contain extremely powerful divine soul power, which may be the reason for his poor physical fitness. This strange human body Mu Shi has seen in his life, and he can't help but be curious.
When Daojiao Jin saw that it was Dan Yiche, he was stunned and said with some concern, "Classmate Dan, you won't challenge this classmate Jiang, right?" ”
Dan Yiche nodded, a touch of ruddy appeared on his pale face, and he seemed to be very shy. He smiled shyly and said softly, "Mentor Jin, I'm indeed here to challenge her, please open the enchantment." ”
Jin Daojiao was out of breath when he heard this young man say something, and he was still a little uneasy, "Your body is ......."
Dan Yiche looks well-behaved, and at first glance he is a good boy who listens to his elders. At this moment, he stubbornly shook his head, "Teach Jin, please rest assured, I am just challenging her alchemy, there will be no problem." ”
"Even if this is the case....... "Jin Daojiao was still a little hesitant, the other party's identity is noble, his talent is outstanding, if it weren't for the fact that his body is really poor, he would have already had one of the places in the inner courtyard. Such a genius who is easy to die is carefully protected by the academy.
"Let them compare." The old man's voice suddenly sounded in the void, and an old man in a reddish-brown alchemist robe slowly appeared in the air, it was the mysterious old man who recognized Mu Shi's flame yesterday!
"Oh my God! Even Jun Lao has come out! It seems that he is really optimistic about this Jiang Muqi! Some students recognized the identity of the old man and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Mom, Elder Jun is one of the three giants of our academy, and he is still a powerful alchemist! It seems that he is also very interested in the alchemy competition between the two people? ”
"One thing to say, I also think this one is the most interesting!" The cadet area exploded again, and the voice of discussion was bold and undisguised.
"Yes." Since such an authoritative core giant of the academy had spoken, Jin Daojiao had no reason to say anything, so he controlled the enchantment to open a gap, looked at Dan Yiche, who was staring at the old man in the sky with bright eyes, and said helplessly, "Don't force yourself." ”
Dan Yiche nodded, obediently whispered, "Thank you for the guidance", and then stepped on the steps of the ring and walked towards Mu Shi step by step.
Walking to the center of the ring only a hundred paces away, Dan Yiche was already panting, and his cheeks were irregularly flushed. Mu Shi was also speechless for a while, how bad is this young man's body, can he really support himself to finish refining the pill?
Dan Yiche smiled embarrassedly, pulled his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said shyly, "Classmate Jiang, my name is Dan Yiche, I am a student of the Alchemy Department, and I will challenge you on behalf of the Alchemy Department. ”
Seeing this person's well-behaved and weak appearance, Mu Shi's voice unconsciously became softer, for fear that his voice would be loud and scare him, "Hello, my name is Jiang Muqi, and I am honored to be challenged by you." ”
Dan Yiche waved his hand, his thin cheeks turned even redder, and he stammered a little when he spoke, "No...... Something that doesn't ...... Originally, I didn't want to challenge you, but you have a potion fire, so I can't come down and give it a try. ”
Mu Shi didn't expect this person to be so easily shy, and couldn't help but wonder if he could really refine medicine? smiled slightly, "It's okay, presumably if I win this game, there really will be no objections, right?" ”
Dan Yiche really thought about it seriously, "Hmm..... Probably, you're so confident. ”
"The most important thing for a person is to have self-confidence." Mu Shi smiled and said, "Can you tell me how to compare?" ”
"Ah, I forgot!" Dan Yiche's thin cheeks flushed, and he hurriedly explained, "That, it's very simple! cough cough cough, it is to refine the same elixir, cough cough...... From the two convenient comprehensive evaluations of speed and quality, the winner is selected ....."
Maybe he was in too much of a hurry and choked on his own saliva. Dan Yiche coughed as he explained, his eyes watery from coughing, and he looked even more pitiful.
Is this really a boy?
It's really weak!
Mu Shi looked at the weak and poor Dan Yiche in a cold sweat, feeling that it was very unfair to compete with him, as if he was bullying him.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, my body is not very good......" Dan Yiche also knew his temptation, and explained awkwardly.
"It's okay, I can understand that. So what kind of medicine are you going to refine? Mu Shi was a little curious, who came up with the topic? Whether it was himself or Dan Yiche choosing the theme of alchemy, it was a little unfair. People will always subconsciously choose what they are best at.
"I've asked the vice president to make a decision." Dan Yiche finally coughed and quickly replied.
"Let the old man come." Jun Lao, who was standing in the air with his hands empty, smiled and looked at the vice president of the outer courtyard who was about to get up. Dean Qian replied helplessly and sat down again.
"The old man is happy, and he doesn't have any cover-up." Jun Lao said, his sleeves flicked, and a lot of scrolls were shaken out! They floated silently on the wall facing Jun Lao, as if they were held up by an invisible force.
This scene is very hot for countless people's eyes, these are all Jun Lao's collections! They are all excellent quality Danfang!
