Chapter 329: The Armory
The Great Elder didn't open his mouth to answer the Second Elder's question directly, he just nodded lightly.
"If we make up for these thirty students this time, it is very likely that there will be losses in the next trial, and at that time, will we have to fill the vacancy with more excellent students? The Second Elder continued to ask, this time his tone was already very obviously questioning.
"Exactly. The Great Elder's gaze looked at the Second Elder and said, "The trial of another world every three years has always been like this, and you should all know it. ”
"We do know this rule, but why did the number of people increase from ten people at the beginning to twenty later, and now the number has increased to thirty people in just a few years, didn't you ask questions to the superiors, Great Elder?" the second elder asked in a cold voice.
The number of students lost in the Forest of Giant Trees was the largest number of students in the Second Elder's North Academy, and even his own grandson had been hit, and according to the previous practice, the students who had lost in which academy should be reproduced from which academy.
In the face of such a situation, the second elder was not in a hurry, but it was abnormal. With the second elder taking the lead in asking questions, several other elders who had always had a stomach of opinions immediately echoed them.
"We have finally carefully selected from the countries in the Abyss Continent, and the cultivation elites selected layer by layer will be sent to another world to be ruined in a short period of time, as if they were cut meat. The Fifth Elder sighed.
"Whether it is a student with low or high cultivation, once he goes to another world, he will die for a lifetime, but there is still a glimmer of life for high cultivation, and if he cultivates too low, he will almost be sent to death, but if I send the elites of our academy there, I still can't do it. ”
The Third Elder also said that this was also the reason why the people who were selected to participate in the trials in the other world were not the elites of the three halls, but only the students of the five academies.
"Yes, Great Elder, can you discuss with the superiors, this time it is still twenty students, and next time we will count thirty students. At this time, even the Sixth Elders, who had been arrogant all the time, showed great reluctance.
A few elders kept complaining about you and me. Their words were listened to by the nineteen selected students sitting on the periphery, and they couldn't help but show puzzled expressions.
Isn't going to another world something that everyone looks forward to, why are several elders so reluctant?
From the tone of the elders, they heard that going to the other world was a matter of nine deaths, but on the path of cultivation, it was often a matter of nine deaths, so it was said that many people died in the selection of the first time they entered the Void Underworld Academy, and this time the trial of the Giant Tree Forest also died.
Then it is not a big deal to go to another world and die, as long as there is enough reward, even if there is a risk, everyone is willing to take risks for it.
As a result, everyone was even more puzzled by the complaints of several elders who were so excited.
Yun Ruoyan and Zhuo Yifeng had some understanding of the situation in the other world after experiencing the trip to the other world, so they understood the excitement of the elders now.
The students in the Void Underworld Academy are all elites from big families, and once they are sent to another world, they will become the lowest existence there.
For a nobleman, in many cases, it is impossible to kill, but in a place like another world, as long as your strength is not strong enough, you will be oppressed and humiliated. Maybe even if your strength is strong enough, just because you are from a low-level continent, you will always be inferior and a gopher-like existence.
"Elders and Chosen Students. The Great Elder finally spoke, his gaze sweeping over the elders and the outer students.
"Going to another world for trials is a tradition that has been left over for thousands of years, and it is not up to us to control it. Elders should know this. The elders here are also outstanding people who have returned from another world, and if they don't go into the flames to bake there, they can get real gold, and if they don't go through the baptism of sludge, how can they understand what is noble? Bargaining with the superior is like fighting against the heavenly punishment, and it is generally futile unless one day your cultivation reaches the realm of the superior one, and then we have no choice but to obey his orders. ”
The Great Elder's words made the entire conference hall quiet, and the Great Elder then turned his gaze to the students sitting in the back, and he said: "Fellow students, I haven't told you in detail about the real situation in the other world, and there are still two months to enter the other world. ”
Then the Great Elder took the lead, and several elders added, and finally introduced the situation in the other world to everyone. What they described was basically the same as the situation that Limo had taken from the mouth of Peryang, there were no countries in the other world, only a few powerful families, but it was obvious that several elders still had reservations.
For example, they are called gophers in another world, and if they want to survive there, they must first get a job, and this job is often a slave to a family.
None of these cases were addressed by the elders, but they emphasized the dangers and challenges in order to motivate the trainees not to back down.
After saying this, we began to discuss how to make up for the nine students.
"This time, we only have one student from the North Academy. The second elder put his words down first, which meant that the remaining eight students would have to come out of the other academies.
"I still say the same thing, you all know the situation in our Intermediate Court, as long as it is sent out, except for Zhuo Yifeng, almost all of them have gone and never returned, and it is indeed impossible for me to send me in person knowing that there is a dead end. The Sixth Elder said.
The other elders were silent, but at this time, silence was better than sound, and not speaking meant that they were unwilling to come out of the students.
"In that case, there are four students from our Southern Academy, and there are still four students from each of your Courtyards. The Great Elder said.
Several elders heard the Great Elder say this, you look at me, I look at you, but they all have nothing to say.
After the meeting, Yun Ruoyan and Zhuo Yifeng followed him to the armory in the secret room according to the request of the Great Elder, and Limo also accompanied Yun Ruoyan into the armory together.
"Since your cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Imperial Sword Master, then you can choose any spirit sword here. The Great Elder smiled at Yun Ruoyan and Zhuo Yifeng and said.
"Don't hide it from the Great Elder, Zhuo Yifeng and I both have our own spirit swords. Yun Ruoyan confessed to him because he was already very familiar with the Great Elder, and he was also quite fond of the Great Elder.
"Since the Great Elder asked you to choose, you don't have to be polite. Limo glanced at Yun Ruoyan and spoke.
"It doesn't matter, when you get to the other world, you will know that the more spiritual weapons, the better. The Great Elder said, Yun Ruoyan's spirit sword was given by Queen Snow Pupil, and the Great Elder naturally knew about it, but he didn't know that Zhuo Yifeng had a spirit sword.
"Can you give your spirit sword to the deity?" the Great Elder asked Yun Ruoyan and Zhuo Yifeng.
Yun Ruoyan and Zhuo Yifeng both took out their respective spirit swords, Yun Ruoyan's red-pupiled great elder was not surprised to see it, but when his gaze fell on the Biyin spirit sword, he was slightly taken aback, and then he glanced at Limo.
Limo met the Great Elder's gaze and nodded at him almost imperceptibly, and the Great Elder withdrew his gaze.
"It's all good swords. The Great Elder said, and then asked the two of them to put away their swords, and he continued: "My sword here is a little worse than yours, but it is much better than the spirit sword outside, it can be regarded as a high-quality product among medium-grade spirit weapons, and it can greatly increase combat effectiveness when used as a weapon." ”
Hearing what the Great Elder said, Yun Ruoyan and Zhuo Yifeng began to pick them up in the armory.
Limo followed behind Yun Ruoyan and gave her advice.
He said: "Yan'er, you are agile in your movements, and your spiritual attack endurance is insufficient but explosive, so you have to choose a light and tough weapon. It stands to reason that the darkiron dagger I gave you is a perfect fit for you. It's a pity that Xuantie is extremely difficult to refine into a spiritual weapon, so it is better to change the size of the spiritual weapon at will after successful cultivation, and it is more flexible and changeable in battle. ”
"Limo, how about this short sword. In the process of Limo speaking, Yun Ruoyan happened to take a fancy to a short sword with a very simple style.
Limo took the short sword handed over by Yun Ruoyan, pulled out the sword body, and saw the cold light, although it was not as aura as Red Pupil and Bi Yin, it was still a good sword.
"Very good, Yan'er's vision is good. Limo inserted the sword into the scabbard and handed it to Yun Ruoyan, so Yun Ruoyan chose the short sword with a simple style.
Zhuo Yifeng walked in front of the various spirit sword weapons one by one, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when his gaze fell to a corner. In that corner, Zhuo Yifeng saw two things that were dusty.
One was a shield, and the other was a black whip like a hibernating viper.
When he saw this whip, Zhuo Yifeng's mind couldn't help but appear with the image of Thunderbolt, the red whip exploded in the air like thunder, very terrifying and terrifying.
Zhuo Yifeng walked towards the corner, and then brushed off the dust on the shield to reveal its original face, it was also a dark shield, I couldn't tell what material it was made of, and I couldn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual power on it, but since it was placed in the armory of the secret room, it should also be a spiritual weapon.
Seeing Zhuo Yifeng standing in the corner of the wall, the Great Elder walked over and explained to him after staring at the shield for a moment: "This shield is made of the horns of the giant rhinoceros beast, and it is also a rare spiritual weapon, but it has not been selected because it is too bulky, and it has been stored in this armory for more than ten years. The spiritual power on it has dissipated somewhat because it has not been used for a long time, but in the process of cultivation and use, the spiritual power on it will slowly recover. ”
The Great Elder felt that Zhuo Yifeng was tall and thin, but he was very strong and powerful, and from his eyes, the Great Elder could see his love for this shield, so he strongly recommended it, "And this whip is used with the shield, I also have a whip method here, if you choose this set of aura, I will teach you the whip method together." ”
"Okay, I'll choose it. Zhuo Yifeng said and took the shield and whip in his hand.
The shield is quite heavy to start with, but Zhuo Yifeng can completely control it, and after the refining is successful, the shield can be completely smaller and carryable, and it will not affect the action.
After choosing their weapons, when the three of them were about to leave the South Tower, the Great Elder asked Limo to stay and speak, and Zhuo Yifeng and Yun Ruoyan walked out of the South Tower first. Zhuo Yifeng knew that Yun Ruoyan was going to wait for Limo to come out and leave together, so he said, "Then I'll go back first." ”
With that, he walked towards another path leading to the middle courtyard.
"Zhuo Yifeng, wait a minute, I have something to say to you. He hadn't taken a few steps when Yun Ruoyan's voice sounded behind him,
