Chapter 20: From the Beginning
Strange environment, strange place, strange people.
Yan Lun was still at home a month ago, with his parents, friends, and brothers by his side, but at this time he was already alone.
If it were an ordinary fourteen-year-old boy, he might not be able to adapt to it, but Yan Lun adapts quickly.
He looked around and saw that there was no one in the other huts, and that there was no one in the valley except for some wild beasts, when he heard a voice from above.
It was on the kilometer peak next to him that his keen hearing sensed the movement, and he listened attentively, which should be the sound of training.
He looked up intently, and there were clouds and mist high above, but his eyesight could barely see through the stratus mist, and he saw a rare figure swaying above, it was the training ground!
It seems that the disciples of the Valley of the God of War are training anytime and anywhere, and they must not fall behind.
So, Yan Lun quickly rushed along the mountain road to the top of the mountain.
After running briskly to a height of two hundred meters, Yan Lun felt that his physical strength began to be exhausted, and after another hundred meters, he began to gasp.
At this time, he realized the problem, this is the plateau! It is the highest altitude place in the Qinxiang Empire, and the physical exertion here is very great.
It is said that even if ordinary people stand still here, many people will get dizzy, and even fatal incidents often occur, not to mention strenuous exercise.
No wonder the God of War Valley can become the overlord sect, it turns out that the training environment is so harsh!
Yan Lun stopped and took a few breaths, and began to adjust the speed and breathing rhythm, this is the first test, if you can't even go up to the training ground, or you are out of breath and barely go up, what kind of training are you talking about?
After adjusting the rhythm, Yan Lun went up to 600 meters in one breath, and then he began to get tired again.
He slowed down, and after 800 meters, he felt a slight tear in his chest and lungs, he stopped for half a moment, and then rushed to the training ground with a bang!
The training ground was a little bigger than he had imagined, with all the training equipment, a young man dressed as four or five hundred disciples, and a middle-aged man who was similar to the costume of Elder Mohe was here.
Seeing Yan Lun here, the disciples all looked at him, because he was really a little small.
Teenagers of this age, even if they are selected by the God of War Valley, most of them are registered disciples, and the real outer disciples are older than him, but the middle-aged man has no surprises, and it seems that he knows Yan Lun's affairs.
"You are Yan Lun, the new disciple of Yiyin?"
The middle-aged man walked up to Yan Lun and asked, his tone a little serious.
"Disciple exactly."
Yan Lun is right.
"How long did it take you to get to the training ground from the valley below?"
Hearing the other party's question, Yan Lun thought about it for a while, and replied in an old-fashioned manner:
"About two quarters of an hour."
That is, half an hour, the middle-aged man looked at his eyes, he shouldn't be lying, in this kind of plateau, the thousand-meter peak took this time to climb up, and it is definitely qualified.
"My name is Zhao Zhen, and I will guide you before you become a disciple of the Second Seal, and I am also an elder of the outer gate, you can call me Elder Zhao."
Zhao Zhen said again:
"You didn't come early, now this batch of disciples has been training for three months, you don't seem to be in a big grade, you have to keep up with everyone's strength as soon as possible!"
Then, Zhao Zhen told Yan Lun about the training regulations here.
Start training early in the morning until sunset.
Take one day off every ten days.
There is an assessment every 30 days, and the assessment is divided into two grades, with the top 200 in the assessment in one team and the others in the other team.
At the end of each year, the team of 200 people will all be disqualified from the outer disciples and retire to become registered disciples.
Named disciples, which means that they can only be regarded as those who have been trained in the Valley of the God of War, but they are not counted as people in the sect recognized by the Valley of the God of War, and they are not protected by the sect, even if they die outside, the Valley of the God of War will not care.
However, a registered disciple can come back at any time to participate in the assessment, and after passing the assessment, he can continue to be counted as an outer disciple.
At this point, Yan Lun's sect career officially began...
Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Lun was still asleep, when he suddenly heard the sound of many people moving around him, and quickly sat up, and saw that many people outside the window had begun to move towards the training ground.
Yan Lun also immediately got up and packed up and went out, and quickly ran towards the training ground.
He ran and ran and found that many people were overtaken by him, which was a little strange.
Yan Lun didn't run particularly fast, with yesterday's experience, he was also controlling his breathing and rhythm all the way, but he still surpassed many people.
He wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that the disciples of a hegemonic sect like the Valley of the God of War were far inferior to him!
So, Yan Lun slowed down and looked at them carefully, and soon, he found that these teenagers were a little struggling with every step, and there seemed to be some restraint.
Yan Lun looked at them intently, his current eyesight could barely see the clothes inside the kaftan through the thinnest kaftun, just as everyone wore a translucent silk robe outside of their power suit.
He was amazed to find that each disciple's robe was tied with pieces of black objects...
He's all too familiar with it, Black Lazuli!
I see, it turns out that everyone is moving forward with weight, and the upper body, arms, and legs are all wrapped with black gold stones, looking at least one or two hundred catties, no wonder they are walking so slowly!
Seeing that a teenager was resting, Yan Lun stepped forward to say hello.
"Senior brother? Dare to ask where did all these black gold stones on your body come from? Is it distributed by the sect? ”
Yan Lun naturally also wants to have such a set of weight-bearing equipment, and it is conceivable that such an exercise is very high for the training of physical endurance, especially leg strength.
The young man looked at Yan Lun a little strangely.
"How do you know I have a black lazuli on me? Oh, someone told you, you are new and may not know much, Elder Zhao Zhen gave each of us a set of black gold and stone costumes on the fifth day of our entry, and we are not allowed to take it off until our rest day, we are really tired..."
Between the words, Yan Lun could see that the young man was not very happy.
"By the way, seeing that you are relatively young, you are not used to being here alone, my name is Wang Dong, you can come to me if you have any questions about martial arts in the future."
Yan Lun's expression was a little weird, because when he saw the other party's badge, it was clear that he was only a fourth-rank martial artist, but maybe he was hiding his strength like himself?
"My name is Yan Lun."
The two soon chatted very well, and through conversation, Yan Lun learned that Wang Dong was only half a year older than him and was a native of Jinluanzhou.
Soon, another teenager arrived from behind.
"Wang Dong, why don't you introduce this junior brother."
The name of the person who came was Jin Guang, and he was a good friend of Wang Dong here, and he was one year older than Yan Lun.
The three of them soon became friends, because they had a lot of exercise on this harsh plateau and hills, and a few people talked a lot, Jin Guang and Wang Dong were angry several times, and Yan Lun didn't carry weight, so it was okay.
When he came to the training ground, Elder Zhao Zhen had already been waiting here, and he didn't know when he arrived.
Now the weather is from spring to summer solstice, but there has been a little snow here, which shows the high altitude of this place.
When he came to the training ground, the first thing Yan Lun did was to go to Elder Zhao Zhen and inform him that he also wanted such a set of clothing and equipment, but Zhao Zhen frowned.
"What? Do you think you're qualified? These disciples have been trained for a long time before they are qualified to wear this set of black and gold armor, how to train is it up to you or mine? Get back in line! ”
was reprimanded, but Yan Lun still insisted.
"However, the disciple saw that all the senior brothers were like this, and the disciple just didn't want to fall behind and wanted to get one, and besides, the senior brother just told me that they were awarded the Black Gold Armor on the fifth day, and it was almost a few days... So, I hope the elders will be perfect! ”
Zhao Zhen saw that Yan Lun was so stubborn, and snorted coldly!
"Who told you they got the black armor on the fifth day? That mouth is so long, is it because the amount of training on weekdays is too small? ”
Saying that, Zhao Zhen's eyes looked at Wang Dong and Jin Guang, just now the two of them came up with Yan Lun, but he could see it clearly.
