Chapter 17: The Broken Sword
Jiujiang University, located in the southwest border of the Dade Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,000 years. As one of the four famous universities in Xuandong, in addition to convenient transportation and abundant teaching resources, Jiujiang University will also select some talented students from the academy from time to time for training. Because of this, many princes and nobles, and the children of wealthy businessmen and tycoons will rush to come, and there is naturally no shortage of some people with demons and qualifications among these people.
When Luo Yunchen and Qin Ling came to Jiujiang College, they found that the courtyard was full of people, and there was a lively and noisy scene.
"Why are there so many people?" Although Luo Yunchen had expected that Jiujiang College, one of the four major colleges in Xuandong, would have a lot of students who came to sign up on the day of enrollment, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the dense, ant-like heads.
"The four famous universities in Xuandong recruit students, can there not be many people?" After five days of careful recuperation, Qin Ling's injuries had already healed for the most part, and at this time, he was looking left and right excitedly, as if he was looking for something.
"Brother Qin, what are you doing looking around?" Luo Yunchen stretched out his hand and patted Qin Ling's shoulder, asking with some curiosity.
Qin Ling smiled, put his head to Luo Yunchen's ear, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Little brother, today is the last day of registration for Jiujiang Academy, there are many beautiful women, if you are lucky······" Qin Ling winked his eyebrows at Luo Yunchen, his eyes glancing at some beautiful female students from time to time.
"Brother Qin, there is no ordinary person who can come to Jiujiang Courtyard, you have to be more careful, and there are ........"
Luo Yunchen didn't want to, he would cause trouble as soon as he arrived at the academy, if it was too attention-grabbing, it would be very bad if his identity was exposed.
"Little brother rest assured, for the brother has his own measure. Qin Ling smiled slightly, looking at that expression, he obviously regarded Luo Yunchen's words as the wind in his ears.
Luo Yunchen sighed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
"If my brother has something to do and leave for a while, you go and help pay the tuition!" Without waiting for Luo Yunchen to agree, Qin Ling ran towards the crowd to the east with an excited expression, looking at the monkey's anxious appearance, as if a gold ingot had fallen from the sky, and someone would pick it up if he went late.
Luo Yunchen looked at Qin Ling's distant back, smiled, and then went to the finance department alone, handed over six hundred gold coins, filled in two personal information, and received two identity cards from the relevant personnel, and asked about the specific requirements for joining the academy, before turning around and leaving. Luo Yunchen didn't take a few steps when he saw a girl come in from outside the door. The girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a moon white palace dress, with a white jade luan phoenix fork on her head, her black hair hanging straight down her shoulders like a waterfall, and under her long eyelashes, a pair of clear eyes are as smart as autumn water, looking so elegant, dignified and holy.
Luo Yunchen's expression was stunned, and the rest of the people in the financial room also set their eyes on the girl and didn't leave for a long time. Such an otherworldly girl, could it be that she strayed into the mortal Nine Heavens Fairy?
"It's so beautiful!"
"Jiujiang Academy, it's really full of beautiful women! It seems that this time it's the right time!" A young man dressed in silver silk white, with a handsome face and a slightly pale face, looked at the girl who entered the finance department and chuckled.
"Childe, it seems that you are blessed!" said a young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks next to the young man.
The girl smiled at Luo Yunchen, who looked stunned, with an elegant and quiet face, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
"Little ······" Luo Yunchen had always been calm and unwavering, but there was a trace of ripples, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
smiled politely at the girl, and then walked out of the finance department without looking back.
The girl looked at the back of Luo Yunchen leaving, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes like autumn water blinked lightly twice, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"Isn't Sister Xiaoyue in Dragon City Academy, why did you come here?"
Luo Yunchen was suspicious in his heart, when he was studying at Longcheng Academy, he endured a thousand kinds of pains and all kinds of demons, and it was not until Jiang Xiaoyue came here that he brought some happiness. Luo Yunchen was full of gratitude and even some attachment to this beautiful and holy, gentle and kind girl like a fairy of the Nine Heavens. Thinking of all the things he had done in the past, Luo Yunchen felt a warmth in his heart.
"I heard that there are applicants challenging old students in Yanwutai, let's go over and take a look. ”
"Really, fake? Which is inconspicuous, so bold?"
"I heard that guy's name is Remnant Sword!
"Broken Sword! What a strange name. ”
Several students talked as they walked quickly in the direction of the martial arts field.
"Remnant Sword, why is this name so familiar? Could it be ······?" After Luo Yunchen heard the conversation of several students, he walked forward with a pause, and a young man with sharp edges and corners, a cold and arrogant face, and eyes as sharp as a knife appeared in his mind.
"What kind of existence is the most wanted criminal in the Dade Dynasty, and what is so special about it!"
Luo Yunchen was a little curious in his heart, turned around abruptly, and walked towards the martial arts field with a few students.
The martial arts field is used by Jiujiang College to study martial arts and skills, covering an extremely vast area, and there are one large, five small and six martial arts platforms in the field. The central Yanwu platform is ten zhang high, more than 1,000 square meters, five seven zhang high, more than 100 square meters of small Yanwu platform is surrounded by a regular pentagon, and there are viewing seats in the outermost periphery. On weekdays, in addition to normal training and major competitions, the academy does not allow students to come here at all.
Today is a special day, Jiujiang Academy sent five old students to occupy five small martial arts training platforms, accept the challenge of new students, the winner can become an official student of the college, and all expenses will be provided by the school during the school in the future.
As for the conditions to be attached to the challenge of new students, it is clearly written on the bulletin board in the martial arts training field.
When Luo Yunchen came to the martial arts research field, the field was already crowded, in addition to the new and old students who came to watch the battle, there were also five mentors who presided over related matters.
On the No. 1 martial arts platform, two young figures stood opposite each other three feet apart. The young man in the east was burly, under the two black raised eyebrows, a pair of big copper bell-like eyes stared ahead, and two bronze giant hammers were tightly held in his hands, making the two dark arms and green tendons bulge, looking from afar, it was like a giant thunder god descending into the world, powerful and unshakable.
The young man in the west was of medium height, with a cold and arrogant face, and a pair of dark eyes as sharp as knives, as if he could pierce a person's heart without having to use his hands.
"Remnant Sword! Sure enough, it's him!" For the remnant sword, Luo Yunchen had only seen it on the bounty list of the five lakes and clouds in Wusu City, and the portrait alone gave people an indescribable majesty, and after seeing the real person today, he had a little more cognition.
With the subtlety of the Six Senses Xuangong, Luo Yunchen clearly felt that there was an indescribable aura on the remnant sword's body, and this aura was caused by excessive killing.
"Even ordinary immortal cultivators may not be so powerful. No wonder the Dade Dynasty would offer a reward of 300,000 for capturing this person. Compared with the remnant sword, Luo Yunchen felt that it was really a big fuss for the Dragon Source Chief Soldier Yin Qianjian to reward himself with 10,000 gold coins.
A petite figure, like a light and agile flying swallow, swept up lightly and landed steadily on the Dayan martial arts platform. Almost at the same moment, four more figures swept up and landed next to the petite figure.
"Tutor Mei, Tutor Du, Tutor Yu, Tutor Cen, Tutor Bao! I didn't expect the college to send five well-known tutors including Tutor Mei to preside over this competition. An old student looked at the five instructors on the central martial arts platform and said with a stunned expression.
"It seems that the academy is quite serious about this challenge!"
····
Mei Sangu glanced at the Remnant Sword and Bai Xiangmin facing each other on the Yanwu platform, and slowly asked: "Bai Xiangmin and Remnant Sword, there is only one rule for the competition, no matter what kind of attack method, no one is allowed to hurt people to death." Did you two hear me clearly?"
The two looked at each other and nodded slowly!
Seeing that the two of them were ready, Mei Sangu didn't hesitate any longer, and said loudly: "The competition starts now!"
Bai Xiangmin clenched his fist towards the remnant sword, roared angrily, leaped like an ape, and appeared in front of the remnant sword, two arms like steel waves rotated, and the bronze giant hammer smashed down with a overwhelming momentum.
The remnant sword did not move, and when the bronze giant hammer approached, his figure was slightly sideways, and he dodged past.
Two bronze giant hammers slammed into the Yanwu platform, and the entire Yanwu platform trembled violently, but it was not damaged at all.
Mei Sangu looked at the battle below, and asked a tutor with a Chinese character face beside her, "Mentor Du, do you think which of the two is weak and which is strong?"
The middle-aged tutor surnamed Du wiped the two mustaches on his upper lip, and said with a smug face: "Bai Xiangmin is born with divine power, and his cultivation has reached the realm of martial artists again, and he is something that a remnant sword can resist?
Before Du Bin's words were finished, he suddenly stopped, his expression was full of astonishment.
On the martial arts field, the arm of the remnant sword swung back, inserting the black and slender broken sword into the sheath.
It turned out that just when Bai Xiangmin missed the blow and rotated the bronze giant hammer to smash the remnant sword again, the remnant sword moved, and a jet-black sword light, with an incomparable momentum, swept towards Bai Xiangmin. The two extremely hard copper hammers were like paper paste, instantly broken into two knots, and fell to the ground, and Bai Xiangming's chest had a sword wound that was deep and bone-seeing, the sword wound extended from his right chest to his left abdomen, and blood splattered everywhere like a fountain.
Bai Xiangmin's huge body fell to the ground like pushing a golden mountain and a jade pillar.
Everyone in the martial arts research field was dumbfounded, no one thought that a martial artist would be so unbearable.
After a brief silence, there was an earth-shattering cheer. Tutor Du Bin's face was gloomy, Bai Xiangmin was his protégé, he originally thought that he could easily defeat the remnant sword, but he didn't expect that he didn't even take the opponent's sword, and he was seriously injured and fell to the ground. While blaming Bai Xiangmin for being incompetent, he couldn't help but feel a resentment towards the remnant sword, but it was inconvenient to attack on such an occasion today.
No wonder the Dade Dynasty will offer a reward of 300,000 gold coins. Under the stage, a student couldn't help but scream.
"The person on the stage is the first general criminal of the Dade Dynasty?"
"Who else has such a great ability but him? ”
"What is this murderer doing at Jiujiang Academy?"
"I love you. ”
"You are my idol, I want to marry you. ”
"Remnant Sword, you're so handsome! I like you so much. While many students in the martial arts arena were talking in a whisper, some female students screamed loudly.
Mei Sangu's figure swept slightly, appeared on the test table, and after letting Bai Xiangmin be lifted down for treatment, she announced to everyone in the martial arts research field: "Everyone, be quiet, this competition is over, and the remnant sword wins." Since then, Remnant Jian has become an official student of Jiujiang Academy, and all the expenses during the academy are all school expenses. ”
Under the martial arts arena, there was another hustle and bustle!
"Everyone, be quiet. Mei Sangu made a quiet gesture to everyone in the martial arts arena, and then continued: "In addition to holding the new student challenge today, I also want to announce on behalf of Jiujiang Academy that a candidate has to complete. ”
Luo Yunchen looked at Mei Sangu on the Yanwu platform, and listened to Mei Sangu say: "After three months, the academy will arrange for students to go to Wanteng Forest for half a month of wilderness survival training. The trial was voluntary, and it didn't matter what means were used to survive. ”
"Didn't you look for treasures, exterminate thieves, and conduct actual combat drills in the army? How could it be so simple this time?"
"Whatever, it's better to keep it simple, so it's easier to do. ”
"Recommend the Five Great Immortal Sects?
·····
The students of Jiujiang Academy were puzzled, but they didn't ask much, after all, it was not up to them to decide where to test.
"How can you be sure that the trainees will stay in the Ten Thousand Vine Forest for half a month?" suddenly a student in the martial arts arena asked loudly.
"The academy will print a positioning seal on each trial student, the positioning seal contains the identity information of the student, and the specific location will be displayed in the magic crystal ball in the academy hall, as long as you leave the range of the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, the positioning seal will automatically disappear. The academy will determine that the student is not qualified in this trial. ”
"Really, is there such an amazing thing in the world?"
"What Mentor Mei said should be true. Jiujiang Academy has been inherited for more than 1,000 years, and has always had a good relationship with the five immortal sects, and it is understandable to have such a treasure. ”
"It seems that if you want to get the key training of Jiujiang Academy and recommend the five immortal sects, you must participate in the training of Wantenglin. ”
"Jiujiang Academy, isn't this a problem?"
"Isn't it? If there is any danger in the Ten Thousand Vine Forest, if you don't escape, are you still waiting to die?"
"You can't say that. If you two don't want to come out, no one will force you. Not to mention anything else, even if there is really any danger, in order to increase the chance of joining the Five Great Immortal Sects, I am willing to go to the trial. ”
"I think it's much safer to train for survival in the wilderness than to fight thieves and fight on the battlefield. ”
·······
"Wan Tenglin? There doesn't seem to be much experience. Why did Jiujiang University choose the venue there·····? Listening to Mei Sangu's words and talking with the nearby students, Luo Yunchen somehow suddenly remembered in his mind that when he was in Wusu City, someone had hired someone to search for Wanteng Forest for five thousand gold coins.
Thinking of this, a faint feeling of uneasiness arose in my heart.
