Xi Xiao returned to the courtyard, causing all the servants to panic and surround them.

"Prince, what's the matter, I'll go to the Dan Pharmacy to ask the doctor to come. "The old butler is about to leave.

"No, I don't. Xi Xiao hurriedly stopped, "It's just a little injured to learn from people in the martial arts training field." ”

"I'm a defensive stream of cultivation, it seems to be embarrassing, but in fact it's not a big deal, you don't have to make a fuss, just rest early." ”

Xi Xiao was going to smile to comfort the servants, but as soon as he grinned, his face ached.

After asking the old housekeeper to find some bruising medicine, Xi Xiao took out the body protection pill and swallowed it together.

Sending everyone to retreat, Xi Xiao sat in the bedroom in a daze.

"In today's battle, although the opponent's cultivation realm is two times higher than mine, but he is already a wasted cultivator, he can still easily knock me down, if I don't fight to the death, and the other party is greedy for life and afraid of death, I will definitely fail miserably today!"

"It's time to practice the exercises. Xi Xiao made up his mind and climbed into bed and fell asleep.

Three days later, Xi Xiao opened his eyes and stretched his waist, "The medicine that the old butler was looking for was mixed with the Body Protection Pill, and it had such a miraculous effect! ”

Put on his clothes and came to the third floor of the Wuche Pavilion, and the heavily armored sea lion doorman saw his waist card and turned sideways to get out of the way. It took Xi Xiao nearly seven hours to take a cursory look at the exercises in the eleven libraries.

"The defense flow is really unpopular, so many attack techniques, there are only a dozen copies of the defense flow. There are only four books that are suitable for the cultivation of the Dual Realm..."

"The Five Traces of the Cangjiao Spectrum can cultivate the head to be as hard as a steel stone, and the horns of the head can be used as an attack weapon, which needs to be combined with high-grade body protection armor; "Ice Shield Manifestation Technique" can form an ice shield around the body and rebound part of the attack; "Turtle Closed Book" shrinks itself into a ball, which can be attacked and defended, and is more inclined to quickly roll away from the battlefield; "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra" can externalize heavy armor and battle axes. Xi Xiao carefully read the introduction of each defensive flow exercise.

""The Turtle Closed Book" is not bad, but it is just not very elegant... Besides, the method of holding the breath and washing the pulse taught to me is no less than this book in terms of grade, and now the two cycles of the closed breath and washing the pulse around the body, the internal organs and meridians have been refined, and the completion of the twelve cycles is probably not much different from this "Cangjiao Five Traces Spectrum", so choose it.." Xi Xiao had made up his mind, held the "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra" in his hand, and put the rest of the books back in their original places.

"Body, hold the quiet Sihua, Ning Yuan into a Jia..."Xi Xiao sat on the ground, studied word by word, and did not get up until two days later.

The "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra" refines the essence of the sea in the body and attaches it to the surface of the body, making it a part of the body, repeating itself over and over again, layering on top of each other, with a total of four levels of realm.

The first stage of refining the piece armor, take care of the head, heart and other important positions, and transform into an iron one-handed axe.

The second-order soft armor, the sheet armor is seamed into gray soft armor, and the iron two-handed axe is transformed.

The third order of light armor, cyan in color, transforms into a silver two-handed axe.

Fourth-order heavy armor, dark black, transforming into a Xuanwu giant axe.

The cultivation speed is related to the cultivation realm, and the more essence elements that can be controlled in the body, the more the number of refining at one time.

"The first layer of the piece armor needs to refine 100,000 Sea Essence Element, I can refine more than 2,100 at most at a time, and I need to refine about fifty times, each refining is extremely time-consuming, and the Adversity Sea Realm only needs to be refined once..." Xi Xiao sighed.

Coming to the second floor, as mentioned in the map, they are all basic exercises, and Xi Xiao browsed quickly.

"Hey, this book." Xi Xiao saw that there was a book on the bottom shelf in the corner with thick dust, as if no one had read it, so he stepped forward and brushed off the dust, and the words "Soul Record" came into view.

Turning the first page casually, a few lines of big characters appeared: "Control the essence of the element, the world is with the heart and the mind to the body and the law, in fact, the spirit is the soul, the right hearing and hearing, the root of the soul, the soul is raised, it is into the extreme!"

Xi Xiao stood in the original place, thoughtful, felt that this book was created by a wise man, and urgently turned the second page.

The second page is blank! The third page, the fourth page... It's all blank.

Xi Xiao felt incredible, put the book back on the shelf, came to the hall, and asked the deacon sea lion, "Do you know the "Soul Record" on the second floor?"

"Of course, I don't know how many people have asked me this question. The sea lion shook his spirit, "This book was obtained by a walrus soldier on the ancient battlefield of the border region, and it was supposed to be exchanged for meritorious service, and the consul general also read it at that time, and also felt that this book was extraordinary, but only the first page had words, and he couldn't see any doorway, and he felt useless after studying for a long time, and planned to throw it into the fire pond and burn it, but after burning it for a few days, he found that the book was as good as ever." ”

"The consul told the dragon king about this, and the dragon king couldn't see any mystery, but the herald kept this book for everyone to understand, so we put it on the second floor, and everyone rushed to see it at the beginning, but for nearly a hundred years, no one cared. ”

"I see. After hearing this, Xi Xiao shook his head and walked out of the Wuche Pavilion.

Returning to the courtyard again, Xi Xiao adjusted his cultivation plan, concentrating on cultivating the "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra" according to the mantra during the day, and practicing the method of holding qi and washing the pulse at night, and taking the body protection pill on time before going to bed, day after day, week after week.

In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.

During this period, Shi Shangzhu calculated the time to personally deliver the body protection pill to Xi Xiao, and did not disturb Xi Xiao's cultivation, and took the pill to the housekeeper and left.

It is said that cultivators don't need to sleep for ten days and a half months, but Xi Xiao can clearly feel the existence of the Sea Essence Yuan in his sleep, and he makes faster progress than practicing the "Na Yuan Technique" while awake, so he has developed the habit of sleeping on time every day.

On this day, Xi Xiao was refining the essence in his body as usual, and the old housekeeper kowtowed outside the door and said, "Prince, the king has come to the court, and the lord has authorized you to go." ”

"Got it. Xi Xiao retracted his mind and came to the Wangzhu Academy.

"Granted, I don't know what?"

"What kind of exercises have you been practicing lately, and how effective have you been?" said the professor, sitting in the living room and drinking tea leisurely.

"Now!" With a low shout, looming black scales instantly poured out of Xi Xiao's head, and his heart, lower abdomen, and crotch were also slightly raised, and a natural iron sharp axe was born out of thin air in his right hand.

"Yes, yes, this "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra" has both offense and defense, it is a safe choice, and your cultivation realm has also reached the fourth level of the shallow sea realm, which is really gratifying. Ishigami grinned.

"I didn't want to disturb your cultivation, but a few days ago, the teachers drank together, and Professor Bai proposed to hold a competition between the students, and he also said wildly, saying that his students would definitely be able to enter the top three. The professor said indignantly: "How can we agree, so we agreed to have a student competition." ”

"What do you command?"

"The venue of the competition is in the martial arts training ground of our Wang Academy, and the time is set for ten days later, and each teacher will send three students to participate in the competition. Shi Shangzhu paused, "I'm just one of your students, so I have to summon you here." ”

"If I hadn't chosen to choose the defensive stream in the first place, how would you participate in this competition?"

"They didn't dare to mention it. Shi Shangzhu said indifferently.

"I have a piece of high-grade armor here, which is woven with Yuegu worm silk, and I am now giving it to you, go back and recuperate well, and strive to be in the top five in this competition, otherwise you will have to return this armor to me." After Shi Shangzhu finished speaking, he took out a delicate silver-gray armor from his arms and handed it over.

"Thank you. Xi Xiao took it, the armor was finely made, soft and silky to the touch, and there was a cool breath.

Xi Xiao asked for some doubts encountered in the cultivation process, and returned to the courtyard an hour later to continue the cultivation of the "Yuanjia Tiangang Sutra".

"Prince, the Chief Catering Secretary begs to see you. In the evening, the old butler spoke.

"Lead the guests to the hall, and I'll be there. Xi Xiao paused his cultivation and walked out of the bedroom.

"What's going on today.." Xi Xiao, who is used to being alone, was visited for the first time after coming to the Dragon Palace.

"Deputy Consul General, Xi Xiuzhen, the Secretary of the Lower Catering Department. As soon as the visitors saw Xi Xiao, they greeted enthusiastically first.

"In Xia Xixiao, please be seated. The other party was a pale, thin young man.

"It's really gratifying to hear that the deputy commander defeated the commander in the martial arts training ground, that guy is a bully who is afraid of the soft and the hard, and tends to be inflammatory, and he should have picked it up a long time ago. ”

"He deceived me too much. ”

"My father is a feudal candidate, I entered the Dragon Palace to cultivate at the age of eleven, because of my mediocre qualifications, I cultivated to the deep sea triple realm, and then I went with my father to fight in the border region.

"Five hundred years ago, I was ambushed by the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and my father sacrificed his life to protect me.

"No matter how hard you try now, the cultivation realm is stagnant in the shallow sea ninefold realm, and you can't step into the deep sea realm again. ”

"I was born in a small lake, and later..."

The director of catering brought the Longgong wine Haiyuan juice, and the two chatted happily while drinking.

"I heard that there is going to be a competition between teachers and students?"

"How do you know?"

"Today, I overheard someone talking about it. ”

"Well, in ten days. ”

"I still have a good understanding of the situation of this batch of students, so to compete, brothers should pay more attention to such a few people, one is Song Qiyi taught by Xiao Shang, this female shallow sea realm fivefold, good at the exercise "Extreme Wild Wave Needle", a set of golden wing needles can be attacked and defended, unpredictable. ”

"One is the Xiwu Hang taught by Ran, the five-fold shallow sea realm, practicing the "Flying Smoke Dengyin Book", which is a quiet and agile flow, and the attack is swift and silent.

"There are also Meng Xinle and Xixian Yun taught by Bai Shang, both of whom are six layers of the shallow sea realm, the former practices the "Kaishan Sutra", and the latter practices "Ayang Chop", which belongs to the gravity attack flow. ”

"The cultivation realm is higher than mine. Xi Xiao smiled bitterly.

"Brother, don't be discouraged, after all, you have been in the palace for a shorter time than them, and it is already very good to have your current results, just do your best, I have a few red blood pills here for you to accept, one a day, to regulate the body to the best state." The Chief of Catering handed over a small porcelain vase.

"This can't be helped!"

"It's not a precious thing, so don't shirk it. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

The two chatted until late at night, the chief of catering left, Xi Xiao took the body protection pill and the red blood pill one after another and fell asleep, a large amount of sea essence yuan passed through the body in his sleep, Xi Xiao had a thought, and easily controlled one, two, three....

Ten days later, wearing the Moon Gu Worm Silk Armor, Xi Xiao came to the martial arts training ground and saw that the teachers had gathered on the sidelines.
