Chapter 37: Before the War (II)
Ling Ao's side was doing pre-battle training for Garuru day and night, and the Western Emperor Academy, after knowing the existence of this duel, also began to prepare. The representative of the Hall of Elders of the Western Emperor Academy is also the dean of the Western Emperor Academy, that is, Yasuo's uncle and grandfather, Adams.
In fact, Yasuo's life experience is also very pitiful, in this world where martial arts are respected and there are wars from time to time, everyone's life seems so small. In fact, like Lan Xi's parents, Yasuo's family was also destroyed by the war in the early years, if Adams hadn't received the news in time and rushed to the scene, maybe Yasuo would have suffered an accident a long time ago. But perhaps it was Adams' negligence in discipline or because he had such a Tianchen-level backer, Yasuo's growth was always wrapped in all kinds of flattery, and over time, his arrogant and reckless character was formed, which was a world of difference compared to Lan Xi, who had also grown up with a background background.
On the day the duel was established, Adams urgently convened an internal meeting to discuss the duel, and no one from the Northern Emperor Academy, the Southern Emperor Academy, and the Apothecary Guild thought that this would be a suspenseful duel. Everyone unanimously agreed that this was just a last resort choice made by Ling Ao and others from the Eastern Emperor Academy in order to save a trace of face.
But Adams has always had a faint suspicion, it stands to reason that if it was just Ling Ao, a stunned young man, who did such a thing, Adams would feel excusable, but Ling Ao's side was obviously followed by a Tianchen master, if it was reasonable to say that in order to save the Eastern Emperor Academy, there was no need to wade into the troubled waters of the half-orcs, if it was for the sake of face, it would be the same as losing the duel at that time. Moreover, Adams always felt that since Ling Ao and his party entered the city, everything seemed to be coming to the Hall of Elders, which made him feel that Ling Ao and them were actually the helpers found by Yuyan and his group. After all, he also received the news that the first person to contact them was Mayne and the others in Freedom City.
After revealing their doubts, the people of the other three forces did hesitate. For a long time, because of the intervention of Ling Ao and others, the situation of the Eastern Emperor has become less clear, because they don't know where Ling Ao and the Tianchen beside him belong to, when the internal situation of the Eight Directions Alliance is still unstable, they still focus on wait-and-see, after all, if the other party is not coming for themselves and others, the opponent is not asking for trouble for nothing.
But if Ling Ao and the others were really the helpers found by Yuyan's side, then the situation would be different, if it wasn't for friends, but also enemies, then Adams and the others would definitely not be as inactive as they are now. Even if you don't clear them out, you have to test who is standing behind them. You can't have all the enemies come to the door, and you and others don't know who they are. Because they really don't believe that any Tianchen master will dare to intervene in this matter of Donghuang Academy single-handedly, even if it is because they don't understand it at first, then after understanding, it will definitely not continue, the other party should be very clear that the current situation is no longer something that can be reversed by the intervention of a Tianchen level master, after all, how many years of inheritance, coupled with the long life of the master, Tianchen, no one knows how many families there are, but it will definitely not be these on the surface.
Therefore, since the other party is still firmly standing with the Eastern Emperor Academy, it can only prove that there must be an unusual force behind the other party to support it, and if the other party really comes together with Yuyan and them, it will be really a big disadvantage for himself and others.
However, although Adams and the others didn't know what the Eastern Emperor's people were doing, no matter what the reason for this duel was, maybe it was just an opportunity for them to test the Eastern Emperor's people. So Adams called Yasuo and commanded:
"Yasuo, no matter what you do, I want you to torture that orc as much as you want during the duel, but don't kill him for a while. I want to see if the people of the Eastern Emperor can bear it. Maybe Adams didn't realize that his expression was a little excited when he said this, and he might understand why Yasuo has such a personality.
After listening to Adams's words, Yasuo's eyes really lit up, and his eyes were full of excitement, in fact, even if Adams didn't say so, Yasuo was ready to do so. The lowest half-orc, who actually wanted to let himself bow his head and admit his mistakes, and was seen by so many people that day, was simply an indelible stain on his life.
After Yasuo left, the four major forces led by Adams finally decided to try to let all the members of the Hall of Elders attend on the day of the duel, they not only wanted to see what the hell was going on in the Eastern Emperor Academy, but they also wanted to see what the other three forces had towards the Eastern Emperor. In any case, in this duel, they must at least frustrate the spirit of the Eastern Emperor Academy, and let Ling Ao and them know that the Eastern Emperor's trip to the water is not so easy.
Back at the Eastern Emperor Academy, on the last night before the duel, Ling Ao picked up the scarred Garuru and the unfinished Bai Lao from the Hengduan Mountain Range. Looking at Garuru in front of him, Ling Ao could imagine that if it weren't for the recovery potion he provided, perhaps Garuru would not have had a chance to stand in front of him. I saw that although the wounds on Garuru's body had healed, the marks of healing, and even the three scars on his face that were still healing, were enough to prove what kind of training he had undergone in the past few days.
Bai Lao, who returned to the Eastern Emperor, looked at Garuru with a look of relief, he didn't expect that this orc's will and endurance would be so strong, how many times he thought that Garuru couldn't hold on, but every time at the most critical moment, he would burst out with a wave of strength and energy that came out of nowhere. At this moment, Bai Lao finally truly recognized and accepted Garuru. So, when everyone was gathering together to discuss tomorrow's countermeasures, Bai Lao suddenly walked up to Garuru and took out a stick from the space bag, a dark long stick, with almost no patterns on it, only to see Bai Lao hand the long stick to Garuru and said:
"This longstick is called Cracked Sky, and it's a weapon used by a dear friend of mine, and it's made of an extraterritorial meteorite— Made of star iron, in addition to being hard and heavy, there is no energy bonus, so I have always just carried it with me just to remember, but now it seems to be just suitable for your special physique, there are three seals set by my best friend in the cracked sky, the first seal I have helped you unlock, the second, the third seal needs to wait for you to find the fire of the center of the earth and the abyss flame to unlock, after the seal is unlocked, it will increase the weight of the cracked sky, the total weight of the cracked sky in its heyday can reach 100,000 catties, and now the weight of the cracked sky is more than 2,000 catties, which is unusable by normal martial artists, but I believe that with your growth, one day you will be able to use it to play the greatest role, When the duel is over, I will pass on your stick technique on behalf of my best friend, the two complement each other, even if there is no fighting spirit, in the future, it will be difficult to have you in the same level, so it can be regarded as a continuation of the inheritance of my best friend. ”
Hearing this, Ling Ao and the others also clearly felt Bai Lao's recognition and love for Garuru. Especially Yuyan, others don't know, but she knows very well the importance of this split void to Bai Lao. The best friend in Bai Lao's mouth was unfortunately sacrificed to save Bai Lao's life. And only this crack remains.
Cautiously took the Split Sky from Bai Lao's hand, Garuru, almost didn't hold this long stick, thinking that if it weren't for his real strength by leaps and bounds, he might not really be able to pick up this Split Sky. I saw Garuru holding the cracked sky in both hands, kneeling down on one knee in front of Bai Lao and saying:
"I, Garuru, swear to the heavens, I will live up to the prestige of the Sky Splitting in this life!" After being tortured for the past few days, from the initial resistance and feeling inexplicable, now Garuru obviously feels that his control over all aspects of his body has improved, so although everyone has not said it explicitly, Garuru has regarded Bai Lao as his master. It's just that because he is a half-orc, he doesn't dare to speak because of his inferiority complex, and Bai Lao is because Garulu is an arrogant person, so he doesn't dare to recklessly propose to let Garulu apprentice, but in the hearts of the two people, they have already recognized this master-apprentice relationship.
Everything is ready, even Lan Xi and they have advanced out of the customs with the assistance of the potion, Lan Xi and Avril directly skipped from the sixth level to the eighth level, and Fu Bo originally due to the limitation of qualifications, he may only be stuck at the eighth level in this life, but now with the help of Ling Ao Potion, he also stepped into the ranks of the ninth level, which made him cry excitedly for a while. As for the black robe and the old man Bing, although they didn't have any actual promotions, they were each very satisfied with the effect that the potion brought to them. Especially the black robe, if his skeleton frame could only withstand the impact of fifth-level energy, now the strength of his skeleton frame is probably equivalent to eighth-level strength like Garruru.
However, when everyone was in high spirits, only Yuyan looked a little lonely, because she was watching Ling Ao give the potion to everyone, and she was also shocked to see everyone suddenly promoted, Yuyan was very surprised by the magic of Ling Ao's potion, because all of Ling Ao's potion materials were purchased from herself, although there were some relatively rare but not good precious medicinal materials, most of them were ordinary materials, Yuyan even found someone to analyze what kind of potion these messy medicinal materials could be combined, but the result was disappointing to her, it seems that this should be Ling Ao's exclusive formula。 This couldn't help but make Ling Ao look even more mysterious in Yuyan's eyes. The mysterious origin, the mysterious strength, the mysterious elixir, if this elixir alone, if it appears on the mainland, it will definitely become a more popular and crazy existence than the magic crystal. After all, although the magic crystal also enhances its strength, it has to be exchanged for a life, and the potion can be made as long as there are materials, and it can be bought as long as there is money, and there is no need to exchange it for a life. Yu Yan couldn't help but wonder, if he wanted to talk to Ling Ao about this potion after the matter of the Eastern Emperor was resolved, if he could get the formula of the potion, or as long as he got the agency, then his position in the business alliance would be more stable.
However, in addition to being shocked, Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little lonely, because although Ling Ao didn't avoid his own about the potion, he didn't give himself this potion, obviously he didn't think of himself as his own person. However, thinking about it, he is just a cooperative relationship with Ling Ao, in this situation, Ling Ao can not avoid himself, which is already a great frankness, and he may not be extravagant too much. Yuyan herself may not have noticed that she had begun to unconsciously help Ling Ao find a reason, and it seemed that Ling Ao's figure had begun to be deeply imprinted in her heart.
