In March, the spring is bright and bright, and the flowers are red and willow green, which is the benefit of the spring of the year. Pushing open the window, it was already drizzling outside, and a fresh and warm breath came to the face, which couldn't help but make people feel refreshed. Tomorrow's general election is about to take place, and the drizzle will not stop the people's feverish mood. The streets are bustling with vendors of all kinds still working hard in the rain, and few people wear raincoats or umbrellas on their heads, as if this spring rain has never come. Stretch out your arms and stretch to your heart's content, the fatigue of the night has long been gone with the wind.

Chen Lan's room is on the ninth floor of the top floor of Tenglong Pavilion, and the ninth floor belongs to the VIP room, which is generally not open to the public, so it is very clean, which is also Chen Lan's favorite. I talked to my grandfather very late last night, my grandfather seemed to have endless words, Chen Lan understood my grandfather's mood very well, and tried her best to chat with my grandfather, blood is thicker than water, this inseparable family affection is the most real and important in Chen Lan's heart, so Chen Lan didn't sleep all night until his grandfather left, so he simply sat and rested and cultivated his internal strength. Looking out the window, Chen Lan's gaze drifted into the distance, the general election will start tomorrow, and he turned out to be an outsider, although he took the initiative to give up, but let me ask the person who practiced martial arts did not want to get a higher level of training, and that martial artist did not want to become stronger as soon as possible. Entering Qingshu Academy was also Chen Lan's original dream, but at present, he has passed by the opportunity, to be honest, Chen Lan did not regret the decision he made, but was just a little melancholy. "Alas!" sighed faintly, still having to face reality, it was time to find a place to train. closed the window and turned around, only to find that my grandfather had appeared in his room unconsciously, looking at Chen Lan with a loving face. "Lan'er, tomorrow is going to be a big competition, isn't it very uncomfortable, look at your trance, this is not a good phenomenon, you must know that martial arts practice is both self-cultivation and mind cultivation, the mind is not clear, then the mind is not reached, do you understand?" "Grandpa, I didn't regret my original choice, but I just felt that I also wanted to study in the academy, and now I don't have a chance, I'm a little reluctant, but I will still make unremitting efforts, you can rest assured!" Good boy, it's good that you can think like this, although the cultivation of martial artists also needs to borrow external forces, but in the end it is up to you, but there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, or will there be a moment when the willows are bright?" "Grandpa, you are confused about me!" Okay, good, but grandpa has to remind you that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and you must be vigilant at all times, especially in some unknown worlds, in fact, I have been in for a long time, and you have not realized it, one is that grandpa's realm is higher than yours, and the other is that you are not deeply involved in the world, and you have no sense of prevention at all, which must be corrected!" Seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Chen Lan's heart was also cold, yes! It seems that he was negligent, and he must pay more attention to this aspect in the future. "Let's go, grandpa will take you to the underground training room, I heard that you have been insisting on doing weight-bearing training, grandpa's training room is just right for you, as the saying goes, 'fists do not leave your hands, and songs do not leave your mouth' Perseverance is the king!"

When he came to the basement, Chen Lan was very satisfied, and was worried, now it's okay - it doesn't take any effort to get it! The entire basement is made of refined bluestone, which is indestructible, and all the cultivation tools, knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc. are readily available, especially the two wooden figures on the wall, the meridians of the whole body are cleaned, and all the acupuncture points are marked in eye-catching red, and the other one is similar to the tumbler. There were two black and shiny iron hammers in the corner, one weighing at least 9,000 catties. What's even more strange is that in the northwest corner of the wall, there is a square iron plate that is one meter thick and one zhang square hanging in the air, and the four corners are pulled by a ring-shaped black iron chain as thick as an arm. Seeing this, he gestured that he was standing under the iron plate, and then pressed the button on the stone wall, and the iron plate slowly sank, and Chen Lan realized that this was the pressure of training. "People who practice martial arts, the start is particularly important, the degree of solid foundation determines the future achievements of a martial artist, the first thing a beginner cultivates is the physique, tempering the muscles and bones, the stronger the foundation, the more stable the future will be, go further. Grandpa spoke and demonstrated at the same time, which benefited Chen Lan a lot and gave him a lot of insights. Finally came to the two hammers, the old man took off his coat, revealing his bronzed chest, his broad upper body did not have a trace of fat and wrinkles, waved his arms, his developed muscles seemed to contain endless strength, and gently lifted the double hammer, "Roar, Roar, Roar" shouted rhythmically in his mouth, and quickly slapped his chest, Chen Lan was a little dumbfounded? The chest is the weakest link in the human body, because the heart is also here, so it is necessary to use external force to improve the defense ability of the chest, so that the effect of long-term beating and tempering is to do this without using internal force, I saw the old man holding a hammered arrow from the shelf, and suddenly inserted it into his chest, Chen Lan's heart tightened, and with a loud sound, the Jinggang arrow that emitted cold light was broken in half, and the arrow fell to the ground. "Sizzle" Chen Lan gasped, this is the strength of the body itself, and it does not use any internal force at all. "Let's practice slowly, grandpa will go and rest for a while. I saw my grandfather walking out of the stone room quite complacently. "Chen Lan, you have to work hard now, I see that your grandfather's physical strength alone is not inferior to our demon beasts, I think you still need to work hard!" Xiao Qing's gloating words sounded in his mind. The ugly native chicken became smaller than a slap and flapped its earthy yellow meat wings, and landed on the shelf not far away, shaking his head and rattling, and his expression of under-pumping made Chen Lan speechless, what is carelessness in making friends, this is the best proof.

Two hours of cultivation made Chen Lan almost collapse, and there was a buzzing in his abdomen, hunger and fatigue. Put on his clothes and slowly walked out of the stone room, Long Teng was already waiting at the door, "Brother Lan, you are really hard at the door, don't work too hard at the beginning, you have to follow the steps, you can't do it overnight, slowly increase the intensity of cultivation!" "Yes, senior brother, do you have something to do with me?" "Hey, don't call me senior brother in the future, it's best to call me eldest brother, go wash first, and take you to meet a few friends later." Patting Chen Lan on the shoulder, Long Teng said mysteriously.

Qingfeng Building, a dark red wooden attic, the whole building is a total of ten floors, pure iron real wood is made, the iron real wood material is hard comparable to fine iron, covers a huge area, the atmosphere, simple and solemn, it is the most prestigious restaurant in Qingyun City, jointly built by the City Lord's Mansion and Qingshu Academy, it is the largest place to receive the students of the previous general election and the celebrities of the rivers and lakes. Long Teng and Chen Lan came to the third floor, of course, according to the rules, Chen Lan could only move on the first floor, and the third floor was aimed at the martial artists of the Guiyuan Realm, and Long Teng could bring Chen Lan to the third floor, which showed that Long Teng's status in Qingyun City was extremely extraordinary. When they came to the window position, there were already two men with extraordinary bearing sitting on the table, and when they saw Long Teng coming, the two got up to greet each other. "Hehe! I have long heard that Senior Brother Chen came to Qingyun City, and I finally met today!" The two were very enthusiastic, after Long Teng's introduction, Chen Lan knew that these two people were of the same clan, both from Wutang, and coincidentally, the first person to talk to Chen Lan was Cai Yuexiu's brother - Cai Minghua, a native of Baiya Village, and the other was a member of Majiagou - Ma Deyao, both of whom stood out in the last general election, but they were slightly inferior to Long Teng, and now they are the same as Long Teng, in the senior class of Qingshu Academy. The four of them belong to the same family, and they naturally talk a lot, and they chatted happily, but Chen Lan was hungry in her belly, but she didn't have wine and food at the table, and when she heard the voice in Chen Lan's belly, Long Teng explained that there was still a distinguished guest who had not yet arrived, and he had to endure it for a while, which made Chen Lan's face red, but several people laughed. "What made a few senior brothers so happy, can you share it with the little sister!" A gust of fragrant wind came to the nose, and a woman in white clothes, devil figure, and light veil appeared in front of the four of them. The red cherry lips are like blooming flowers, exhaling like an orchid, just with this dusty temperament, Chen Lan involuntarily groaned: "Clear water out of hibiscus, naturally to carve!" The other three actually forgot to get up to greet each other, and they all looked at Chen Lan in a daze. "Why, don't you welcome the little sister?" The pleasing voice diverted everyone's attention, and everyone got up to greet each other. "Presumably, this is Chen Lan, the junior brother of several senior brothers!" the woman looked at Chen Lan with an extremely mysterious look. "Senior Sister Ye, please, please, this is my brother Chen Lan, this is Senior Sister Ye Youran!" Chen Lan gave way to his position extremely unnaturally. At this time, Xiao Er put on the wine and food with great eyes, and only then did he resolve Chen Lan's embarrassment. A few people chatted about the recent anecdotes in Qingyun City, but Chen Lan's wolf spit out regardless of his demeanor, causing a burst of eyes from several senior brothers. Only Ye Youran observed Chen Lan curiously from time to time, and Chen Lan pretended not to see it.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs, the sound was quite noisy, Ye Youran frowned slightly, and several people looked out the window. I saw a large number of people flying out of the attic, standing in two camps as if they were clearly distinguished, weren't they the fifty contestants from Aoki Town? Looking at the indignation of the crowd and the desperate looks, it seemed that the contradictions were quite deep. Chen Lan couldn't help but say that she was about to go downstairs, but she was firmly locked by a vice. "Qingyun City prohibits martial artists from killing people, but it doesn't stop the challenge, let's go to the Douwu Platform together!" The two pairs of people and horses below also swarmed towards the Douwu Platform.

Chen Lan and a few people also followed, the wide martial platform had already been surrounded by water, and when they saw Long Teng and a few people coming forward, some people seemed to recognize the identities of several people, and they all made way of a passage. On the stage, a ninth-layer martial artist of the Young Qi Realm with a pimple face, sallow skin, and a head as big as a bucket shouted arrogantly: "Why, one by one, like a turtle with a shrunken head, I don't dare to come up, I said that if it weren't for the blessing of Senior Brother Tuo Longteng, you poor ghosts would still be able to jump to Qingyun City, or go home and marry a girl who is five big and three thick, give birth to a child and wash diapers! Don't come to this sacred place to slap your face!" The arrogant and mean words made Chen Lan, who had always been well-cultivated, grit his teeth, and the martial artists around him laughed even more.

"It's too much of a deception, I'll meet you!" A martial artist in Aoki Town had a red face and red ears, and rushed to the martial platform with angry hair, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
