Chapter 5 One step first, one step at a time

Wuqu Xingjun simply shouted a "one, two, three", which can be regarded as the official start of the challenge.

As early as when the students of both sides cleared the field, the two challengers had already secretly observed the most suitable ladder route for themselves, and had slowly adjusted the position they were standing. When Wuqu Xingjun gave an order, the two of them happened to rush out one left and one right.

As Wu Ziji summarized for Qin Lan before, this giant stone tablet ladder looks like a tumbler when one person is on it, and when there are two people on it, it becomes a rocker!

Yao Qingshu ran out of two steps, and through several large strides in succession, the giant stone tablet was tossed like a bamboo raft in the rapids. Although this will also have an extremely adverse impact on himself, after all, Wu Xing's movement has also become irregular, but in terms of practical effect, Yao Qingshu is obviously more adapted to this kind of bump than Wu Xing, after all, he still jumped from this giant stone tablet to the top of another giant stone tablet ladder first, and successfully grabbed the advantage of one step.

The students in Longxi were naturally dissatisfied, laughed, and despised this kind of behavior. The students of the East China Sea Kingdom were too lazy to argue, and directly blocked back a sentence: "Did you ever say in the gambling contract that you must not interfere with the opponent?"

Naturally, the two challengers will not be distracted by these boring words, and they are all engrossed in climbing the ladder.

Aside from the ladder at the beginning, the mastery of the characteristics of the ladder shown by the two is not comparable, and they occupy new heights and ascend to the sky.

Just visually, it's like two spirit apes climbing quickly between cliffs, with a pleasing rhythm and intensity. In particular, the long-distance leap between the megalithic stele and the megalithic stele can make people's hearts rise to the throat; sometimes it is dangerous to fall on the corner of the next megalithic stele ladder; or it is a big windmill-like rapid flip of the megalithic stele, and the person's feet fall into the air, and they can only rely on the star power gathered by both hands to absorb on the megalith, and the head and feet are swinging-like "stepping" on another megalithic stele ladder. It was thrilling, and because of the changes and barriers of the sea of clouds, the whole process could not be shown, so that the students on both sides secretly pinched a cold sweat.

About half an hour before and after, Wu Xing and Yao Qingshu had already arrived at the two giant stone tablets closest to the designated ladder and stood still. The reason for such a short pause is that the highest part of the megalith is in the process of flipping, at this time it is about a horizontal situation, and it is impossible for the two of them to leap such a long distance and touch the megalith stele just by virtue of a short sprint, and they must wait for the megalith stele to roughly flip into a wall, and the vertical distance between the megaliths is greatly shortened, so that they can jump high and then absorb the star power gathered by both hands on the lower edge of one side of the megalith, and then try to stand up.

Just when the students on both sides thought that the time was too early, Yao Qingshu suddenly knelt down on one knee, slammed his right fist into the back half of the giant stone stele, and then took advantage of the short time when the first half of the giant stone tablet was instantly raised high, ran two steps, and a fish jumped to the highest level of the ladder! Yao Qingshu's inexplicable action actually allowed him to get a jump point that was a few points higher than the students expected!

Although Wu Xing finally came into contact with Yao Qingshu almost in sequence and successfully adsorbed it on it through star power, even the students in Longxi County could see that the gap between Wu Xing and Yao Qingshu might only be a thin line.

Wu Xing, it's a pity to lose!

After both of them stood firm on the ladder of the highest level of giant stone stele, Yao Qingshu put on a victor's posture and said indifferently: "One step first, one step first! It can only be said that you have lost the opportunity." Concession and concession!"

After Yao Qingshu finished speaking, he didn't give Wu Xing a chance to speak, he turned around directly and began to return the same way, and finally met with the students of the East China Sea National Star Hall who were dancing with their eyebrows, and walked in the direction of the central area of the ladder, and soon disappeared from the sight of the Longxi students and Wuqu Xingjun.

This kind of silent contempt naturally made the Longxi students depressed.

When Wu Xing returned to the ladder where he set off, he even happened to hear a straightforward student suddenly ask Qin Lan: "Qin Lan, if you are replaced, maybe you can win, right?"

When people face failure, they always subconsciously find some reasons and excuses to excuse themselves or others, and even blame all the faults on others, which is also human nature and understandable.

Another student obviously saw Wu Xing, and as soon as he had an idea, he changed the topic and asked Wuqu Xingjun: "Lord Xingjun, I don't think the speed of this heavenly ladder is fast, can it be said that it has traveled from the East China Sea Country to the West Wind Country in one day?"

Wuqu Xingjun smiled, took over the conversation and said, "The trial students of the Star Hall and the Star God Hall can step on the ladder in advance. Even the division of the ladder into upper and lower realms is also a conventional convention. However, it is also really strange to say....... There are tens of thousands of huge stone tablets on the ladder, counting the 36 counties of the countries of the Starfall Continent, as well as the Star Hall and the Star God Temple, the trial students often can't meet each other. At the beginning of the site selection of the rooftops, the division of the ladder area has been fully considered. Moreover, our Longxi County is already the last site to ascend to the sky, and the Star Hall and Star God Temple are usually in the area near the ruins of the Heavenly Court, and will not have any intersection with the other thirty-six counties. ”

"Could it be that they were actually ...... just now? Looking for something?" Wu Xing said his guess.

"Eh! yes! Hearing you say that, there is really such a possibility!" Wu Qu Xingjun nodded, then suddenly patted Wu Xing's shoulder, changed his words, and said: "You kid did a good job just now! It's just that we are willing to gamble and lose! We didn't say in advance that the newcomer could not participate in this bet." If you can force that guy to use the star armor, you'll actually win. ”

"Star armor, is that guy with eyes above the top really awake?" the other students asked curiously.

Wuqu Xingjun replied: "Wenqu Xingjun's initial awakening is very different, let's not talk about it for the time being. The sign of Wuqu Xingjun's initial awakening is that he has awakened the sea of stars in his body, so that he can summon the star hammer. Wu Quxing's star hammer is actually similar to the hammer of an ordinary blacksmith, and it is also divided into large and small hammers. ”

In fact, in the blacksmith industry of the Starfall Continent, the master made the small hammer to be beaten with one hand, and the other hand had to use a long-handled fire to hammer the iron, which was almost three times the energy and effort of the apprentice with the sledgehammer. Usually a big hammer with a long handle is about ten catties, and when it is wielded, it can be hammered a few times as long as there is a certain amount of strength. The master of the small hammer is a one-handed hammer, this hammer weighs about six catties, and the other hand weighs about four catties. In order to facilitate the creation of various styles of utensils, the surface of the iron pier is spherical, and the iron placed on it must require a lot of strength to stabilize the iron by striking it with large and small hammers in turn. The master of the small hammer is multi-purpose, the left and right hands are responsible for different tools at the same time, and the force of the two hands is not balanced, and the direction of the sledgehammer is carefully observed, constantly moving and adjusting, and maintaining stability.

Therefore, in the blacksmith shop, it is the master who makes the hammer, and the one who makes the sledgehammer is the apprentice, which is secondary. Big and small hammers, the main and secondary are clear!

Wuqu Xingjun briefly popularized the knowledge about blacksmithing for everyone, and then continued: "Therefore, after Wuqu Xingjun first woke up, the first star hammer he mastered was a small hammer, which was simply used to forge the fist gloves of the star armor, and this step was also the first step in Wuqu Xingjun's cultivation process. Here are the two star techniques of Wuqu Xingjun: "hammer" and "armor". And when there are enough parts of the star armor, the sledgehammer can be cultivated. The guy from the East China Sea Kingdom just now suddenly punched down through the fist gloves of the star armor on the penultimate ladder, and it was by borrowing the power increase of the fist gloves that the giant stone tablet was raised higher, so that he obtained a higher starting point, which was the narrowly won. ”

"Oh! So he's cheating!

"In this way, Wu Xing is still glorious even though he is defeated!"

After hearing Wu Qu Xingjun's explanation, the students in Longxi suddenly realized that there was such a hidden situation in the half an hour just now! Including the young man who asked Qin Lan the question of "change you" before, several students expressed their support and understanding for him by patting Wu Xing's shoulder and back.

Only Qin Lan looked disapproving, and did not make any statement.

At this time, Wuqu Xingjun changed his words again and said: "I just said, I am willing to lose the bet, maybe you haven't understood it yet......

"I'm afraid there is no absolute fairness in this world, at least I haven't seen it in the tens of years I lived. At any time, you can only ask yourself to be stronger than your opponent, but you can't expect your opponent to be weaker than you! On the battlefield, there is a shortage of soldiers and food, can you ask the enemy to fight again at another time? When your star power is exhausted, can you ask your opponent to give you enough time to meditate on your strength? When you are faced with chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cows and sheep, you can eat their meat as if nothing happened, and you will not feel that there is anything wrong with them at all. This is the thinking of the strong!"

"What's more, at least half of you will be eliminated. That is, at least half of you will not be able to complete the initial awakening for one reason or another. ”

Wuqu Xingjun's deafening words were like pouring a basin of cold water on the heads of all the students, so that these teenagers who thought they had stepped into the circle of Xingjun would not fall into the wrong mentality of blind optimism.

"The time for free activities is coming to an end, and then it's the first class of our trial, you guys go down to find the deputy examiner first, I still have a few words to say to Wu Xing. Wuqu Xingjun waved his hand.

Qin Lan turned around first, and the other students followed, leaving this ladder.
