......

The sun slanting to the west cast a beam of light on the ground of the Sword Pavilion.

Through the window, the sleeping Lingyun's eyelids were hot.

A spirit, suddenly sat up. Ling Yun subconsciously covered his stinging head.

Recalling that terrible dream, I had palpitations, and I couldn't help but rub my face with my hands.

A foul smell came from his hands, and he was suspicious when he saw that his body was covered with slimy black dirt.

"This is the stench of the poison of the vein, how can I force so many toxins out of my body? When did I get secretly poisoned?"

Ling Yun recalled that on the August Festival four years ago, his mother and son were invited by Ling Haoran to drink and listen to the drama and eat crabs.

Since then, his strength has stagnated.

No wonder he has not been able to break through, and his poisoning has something to do with Ling Haoran.

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Haoran, you would never have imagined that the poison of the Absolute Pulse in my body has been forced out. This revenge will be avenged!"

Looking left and right, the mess in the Sword Pavilion seemed to have to be reorganized.

Just as Lingyun sighed.

Bang dang.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open vigorously, and Nan Changzhi appeared.

Nanjiao Xi's face was angry, and he scolded sharply: "Ling Yun, this is the Sword Pavilion you cleaned? If it weren't for Li Yi saying that you were sleeping, I wouldn't believe that you were so lazy."

Don't eat until you finish cleaning.

And also...... I don't have to go to class tomorrow, and I will be punished for an extra day.

Go to the back mountain to chop twenty loads of firewood. ”

"I warn you, if you commit another misdeed, you will be expelled. No one can protect you. ”

After Nan Changzhi finished speaking, he whistled away with his sleeves.

Although Ling Yun was angry, he was speechless, and he somehow fell asleep just now.

But

If he was promoted to a swordsman, Nan Changzhi would never be so frowning at himself.

All the students who are promoted to the rank of swordsman are treated as excellent students, they are the hope of the Sword Mansion and the core students who focus on training.

The Sword Mansion's management of them was much more relaxed.

Not to mention reprimands, beatings and scolding, even if you don't go to class, you will no longer be compulsorily restrained.

Let it grow on its own.

Because of the breakthrough after being promoted to a swordsman, everyone has their own set of cultivation methods and personal opportunities.

Nan Changzhi's difficulty again reminded him of his mother's words:

If you have status, others will reason with you.

Qingfeng Sword Mansion is a few miles outside of Qingfeng Town, and it is the only Sword Mansion in the six nearby villages, with thousands of students.

In addition to the sixth-layer swordsman peak Confucian chief teacher and the fourth-layer swordsman Nan Changzhi, there is also a swordsman in the heart of the pavilion Kong Xiang, the fifth-layer strength of the swordsman.

Among all the students, the number of people who broke through to the swordsman was only about thirty, and most of them were of the same age.

Li Jiyun broke through the swordsman at the age of seventeen, and only reached the second order at the age of twenty-one, and now at the age of twenty-four, he is already the strength of the middle stage of the second order.

The rest of the trainees are slightly weaker.

Among the first-order swordsmen, Jade Tiger is considered to be the most talented. At the age of seventeen, he was already about to reach the peak of the first order.

And Ling Yun will also be fourteen years old after the New Year, but he still can't see hope.

Yuhu, who had finished class, ran over panting.

Glanced at the ground, and then at Lingyun.

"I'll help you. ”

In the afternoon, the Sword Pavilion was finally cleaned.

The two of them were covered in dirt and stench, and walked in the direction of the creek a mile away, wanting to clean up.

While talking, he walked to the entrance of the town.

There, on a huge black stone as high as a house, stuck a rusty iron sword.

The surface of the boulder is engraved with four large golden characters: Sword of Trials.

Many villages and towns in the jurisdiction of Ming Sword City have the same boulder and a sword stuck in it.

"Lingyun, it's almost time to collect taxes again, you ...... Do you want me to help?"

Yuhu asked cautiously.

Ling Yun shook his head and didn't speak, looking up at Tie Jian, his eyes showing determination.

If someone in the village reaches the level of sword master, they will be able to pull out the sword on the boulder to prove their strength.

Once someone pulls out this sword, not only will they be eligible to move into the city, but the entire village will be exempted from paying taxes.

Therefore, when Ling Yun showed extremely high talent, he was pinned on by the whole village.

It is said that it is a tax, but in fact, it is because it borders the great barren mountains where fierce beasts are raging. Horse thieves often raid villages in the area.

The Patrol of Mingjian City collects taxes and fends off the fierce beasts and horse thieves in the Great Wilderness Mountain.

It's just that the effect is not satisfactory.

The two of them looked obsessively at the rusty iron sword on the boulder, and their eyes revealed longing.

The sword hadn't been drawn for more than a hundred years.

Sword master level! That's a strong person who has entered the innate world.

After a long time, Ling Yun said enthusiastically: "Tiger madman, let's compete to see who reaches the sword master rank first, how about it?"

Jade Tiger's fan-like hand slapped Ling Yun's shoulder hard, laughing, arrogant.

said excitedly: "Lingyun, I like your strength of not giving up and not admitting defeat." You will definitely be able to condense the Sword Yuan Seed. ”

At this moment, Ling Yun straightened his chest, he was emotional, and his self-confidence in his heart grew inexplicably.

The two of them took a refreshing bath and returned to the Sword Mansion.

Three students walked across the school.

The bald head headed by him was shirtless, and when he saw Ling Yun's ill intentions, it was Li Yi.

A few months ago, after school, he led someone to intercept Ling Yun halfway, and was stabbed in the thigh by Ling Yun with a sword, and he was raised at home for three months. Recently, I just recovered from my injuries and returned to the Sword Mansion.

"Yo, that's a coincidence. Isn't this our star student Ling Yun? You are the hope of the whole village! We are waiting for you to achieve the position of sword master, and the city lord of Ming Sword City can exempt the entire Qingfeng Town from paying taxes!"

"Chief Sect Xi Kong Jian also expects that after you cultivate to the sword master, our Qingfeng Sword Mansion can be promoted and upgraded to a key sword mansion like the Mingcheng Sword Mansion. Oh, you're all in one!haha......"

Li Yi's words were full of bitter sarcasm, and the two behind him immediately laughed unbridled and mocked.

"Just by him, he can't even condense the Sword Yuan Seed, he's a waste who can't cultivate. Expecting him to become a swordsman and exempt the whole village from paying taxes? It's a joke. ”

"That is, the chief teacher was withdrawn from the special recruitment authority within three years because of the waste of recruiting him. The star students really gave us the 'long face' of the Qingfeng Sword Mansion. ”

After saying that, the three of them laughed without hesitation.

That laughter sounded harsh to Ling Yun.

Li Yi looked at Ling Yun and said proudly: "Tell you Ling Yun, I felt the rhythm of the Sword Yuan Seed half a year ago, and in the three months since I was injured, I have successfully condensed the Sword Yuan Seed and broken through to the Sword Warrior. And you're still a 'waste swordsman' haha. ”

In Li Yi's eyes, it was a great shame for him to besiege Ling Yun and be stabbed last time, and now that he has successfully condensed the Sword Yuan Seed, he naturally wants to regain face.

"Li Yi, I think you have itchy skin. It just so happens that my hands are itchy and I give you loose skin. ”

Yuhu had already seen that the three of them hated it so much, and he was about to rush up and do it.

Ling Yun grabbed Jade Tiger's arm and shook his head at him.

It's not that I'm afraid of Li Yi's strength, but because the students' private fights are against the school rules.

The serious consequence of violating school rules is expulsion.

This is the biggest fear in his heart.

His mother, Wen Shuxian, was frugal, and saved a copper plate for him to enter the Sword Mansion to practice, and he cherished this opportunity more than others.

Because he couldn't let his mother down.

Li Yi has always been afraid of the Jade Tiger, and today he dared to take the initiative to stop the two of them, obviously deliberately provoking.

He didn't want to cause trouble anymore and gave Nan Changzhi an excuse to expel him.

Li Yi was even more arrogant when he saw Ling Yun blocking the Jade Tiger.

bah

He spat hard at Ling Yun.

"Lingyun, you're a coward. ”

Ling Yun's fists were clenched, and his eyebrows were upside down, and he was already angry.

But reason told him that there must be fraud in this, and he couldn't do it.

So, he pulled the jade tiger who wanted to burst out again.

"Don't talk nonsense with them, just call Lao Tzu. ”

Unexpectedly, the figure in front of him flashed, and Li Yi had already punched Ling Yun.

The private fight in the school is not as good as outside the school, although he has Ling Haoran as a backer, but he does not dare to use weapons.

Ling Yun hurriedly retreated with staggered steps, dodging the punch.

The Jade Tiger roared angrily and kicked it over.

The two accomplices behind Li Yi also rushed up, and the four of them immediately fought together.

Jade Tiger was outnumbered and everyone was about to suffer, and Ling Yun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Gritting his teeth, he scolded casually: "Damn, don't worry about it first." ”

Ling Yun rushed to help desperately.

As soon as the five of them started, a loud shout rang out.

"Stop me. ”

I saw the gray-robed Nan Changzhi walking briskly, followed by Li Jiyun, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ling Yun's heart sank, and he secretly screamed that he had made a plan.

Several people immediately stopped, and Li Yi greeted Nan Changzhi's salute and said: "Nan Jiaoxi, this Lingyun hurt me for no reason, and also instigated Yuhu to fight privately, it's all his fault." ”

The two behind him immediately chimed in: "It's him, it's him." ”

Ling Yunqi's lungs are about to explode.

"Li Yi, you bastard, I will definitely make you regret what you did today. Nanjiao Xi I ......"

"Shut up for me, private fighting in school is a serious violation of school rules. Ling Yun, how can the Qingfeng Sword Mansion tolerate you. ”

Nan Changzhi directly interrupted his words, completely ignoring Ling Yun's defense, and reprimanded.

"You're hitting the muzzle of a gun. Li Jiyun smiled evilly, fanning the flames and coaxing the seedlings next to him, looking gloating.

Ling Yun looked at the three of them, and he didn't understand that this was a trap that had been prepared for him a long time ago.

The whites of his eyes were suddenly covered with bloodshots, and Ling Yun's chest rose and fell violently and said to Nan Changzhi: "Nan Jiaoxi, is it just based on Li Yi's one-sided words that I was the one who provoked the incident?"

This is unfair, it is Li Yi who leads people to do it first.

You have targeted me like this without verification, wronged me, and I am not convinced!"

Yuhu argued and said, "Yes, they struck first, we are just defending ourselves." ”

Nan Changzhi smiled contemptuously: "Hehe, what if you don't accept it?"

Fair?

Just because you're a waste swordsman and a martial artist, you still want to tell me fairness?Ling Yun, are you joking?

I don't care if you make the first move, a private fight in the school, and I can punish you for violating the school rules.

Li Yi and Yuhu are both swordsmen, and the other two have also sensed the rhythm of the sword yuan seed, and they will definitely be able to condense the sword yuan seed to break through to the swordsman within half a year. They are exempt from expulsion and placed on probation.

And you, now pack up and get out!"

"You ......"

Thundered.

When Ling Yun heard that he was really going to be expelled, there seemed to be a thunderbolt in his mind, and the words he wanted to say were held in his chest.

The scalp is tense, the heart is anxious and angry, and I can't calm down.

He looked into Nan Changzhi's eyes with a look of disbelief.

The swordsman will be fine if he fights privately, and he will be expelled.

It's unreasonable.

Sure enough, if you don't have the strength and status, no one will give you the opportunity to be fair.

"I'm not convinced, I'm going to find the chief teacher to reason. ”

"Hmph, no one can protect you! Without a swordsman cultivator, you will be expelled from a private fight, this is the school rule. ”

Nan Chang's words were so tight that Ling Yun almost fainted, and he smiled proudly when he looked at Ling Yun who was cornered by himself.

At this time, Ling Yun trembled with anger as he spoke, and his qi and blood were running at high speed.

He felt something fluctuating in his body, and when he sensed it carefully, it was a rhythmic surge of qi and blood.

Just now, when Nan Changzhi talked about the rhythm of the Sword Yuan Seed, he sensed it.

Now I feel it carefully, the qi and blood in my body are loaded with each other, and the rhythm is endless, which is a sign that the sword yuan seed is about to be condensed.

Do you ......
