Gradually, Jiang Chen also began to adapt to this fast-paced life.

I have to say that among all the immortal cultivation studies, what he is looking forward to the most is actually combat skills. Wang Ziteng often recommends some online novels to him, including cool battle spells, mysterious martial arts artifacts, and cruel cultivation environments, coincidental fate, occasional artifacts containing ancient secret methods, and an old man with unique skills at the bottom of the canyon, etc., which did make him have a small fantasy for a long time in the early days of learning - but these fantasies disappeared after he learned the reality of the situation.

He read a lot of books on cultivation, and learned that the current demand for battle in the immortal cultivation world is not as strong as in ancient times, and in the development of time, there are fewer and fewer places such as the ancestral immortal mansion and the cave of divine beasts, and the monks have also learned the division of labor and market competition, and the equipment and natural materials and treasures required for cultivation are bought and sold by the special market, which is no longer the barbaric era of killing people and seizing treasures recorded in history.

However, combat is still a compulsory discipline, and every practitioner must participate in training. This situation is somewhat like the compulsory military service of the "spiritless", but the final learning of the battle results is not aimed at the inner realm of immortal cultivation, but more to prevent the soulless from happening.

The motto of Boyang College is cloudy: "Three thousand avenues, the same path, the end of life, out of the far." ”

The original meaning is that no matter how it develops, the practitioner or the spiritless will have the same goal by tracing the source. However, all cultivators know that the biggest reason why combat skills and related techniques are still flourishing is that they are wary of the spiritless, which has invisibly turned the unification of the Great Dao into a sigh that can only be talked about on paper.

To sum up, Jiang Chen naturally participated in the study of combat courses.

There are two combat-related courses arranged by the academy for practitioners, namely "Three-in-One Weapon Selection" and "Introduction to Elementary Spells", which can be seen from the name of the course, corresponding to teaching physics moves and spell formulas.

Jiang Chen first came into contact with the course "Three-in-One Weapon Selection". The name of this course sounds like a theoretical course, but it is not. The teacher in the class is an old man with white hair, long eyebrows and white beard, fairy wind bones, I don't know his real name, and he claims to be a blameless son.

Not to mention the children of the Xiuxian family, even for Jiang Chen, the three words "no blame" are like thunder. The identity of this very ordinary-looking old man is actually a well-known weapon forging master in the entire cultivation world, and it is said that he is more than 300 years old this year, and in his cultivation career, he has made many strange weapons. Most of the famous immortal cultivators in history were proud of having a weapon made without blame.

A few years ago, the old man forged the last knife of his martial arts career, because the materials required for the fusion of that knife were too scarce, he could only go to Penglai alone to find it, but he did not expect to be injured by the nine-element badger on the island. No one knows what happened on that island, only that after the old man returned, his heart was greatly weakened, and he announced to the outside world that he would devote himself to cultivation, and since then he has washed his hands in a golden basin. I don't know how Boyang Academy persuaded this famous martial arts master, and even invited him to be a lecturer for the course.

"The so-called three-in-one! It is about the unity of the body, the spirit, and the martial arts, regardless of each other! The martial arts move with the body, and the body turns from the spirit!" The old man explained the origin of this course with full of energy.

The classroom is located in a huge space at the end of the corridor of Boyang College. It is a circular space, divided into two parts, and if one can look down from the top of their heads, they will see that these two parts happen to be in the shape of the two petals of Tai Chi, where the white part is the classroom where the blameless child teaches, and the black part is a huge arsenal.

Boyang Academy's arsenal is very famous, because it contains many unrecorded works of famous martial masters, and no one can say how many weapons are there, only that no matter who can get the most suitable one for themselves.

It stands to reason that the weapons that students like Jiang Chen, who have just entered the threshold of cultivation, can get should be the kind of primary weapons given by the novice village, and they can be replaced casually when the level is high. But the situation at Boyang Academy is different, and every student has the right to pick a good weapon in the arsenal in their freshman year of high school—or to be chosen. It is rumored that some students have obtained an axe from the martial arts master Lu Yuan, and in their subsequent cultivation careers, they have never encountered a more convenient weapon. However, the Academy's arsenal also contains many works made by the masters in the early days, which are a little immature and not good, or some of the masters' casual experimental works, often equipped with very strange functions.

"Don't think that you are using weapons! Always remember that weapons and monks are equal, and you are Taoist friends who fight side by side! A good weapon has a heart and a soul!"

"If you forcibly use a weapon that does not belong to you, the consequences are very serious!"

"It's not that the more sophisticated the weapon, the more powerful the trick can be used! The best may not be the most suitable for yourself!" These are all blameless classroom theories, and it can be seen that the students have no doubts about what this teacher said, and they deeply believe it.

Regarding the attitude towards weapons, the innocent son gave two full lectures. But this old man did not talk about any theoretical knowledge about the basic classification, materials, properties and so on of weapons, and when he took the second class, he directly entered the stage of students choosing weapons.

Unlike the brightly lit classrooms where classes are taught, the arsenal of weapons just separated by a wall is like another world. There were no neat weapon racks, no glimmer of light, and when you pushed open the arsenal at the door, there was just an endless void.

Jiang Chen believed that this was a special space spell, and it must be a very powerful one. In the dark space of the doorway, countless divine weapons floated randomly in the air, occasionally illuminated by the light through the doorway, reflecting a fleeting cold light. Not only was there an endless void above his head, but there was nowhere to place his feet under his feet, and he didn't even have the air he needed to breathe, Jiang Chen even wondered if this space was connected to the outside of the universe.

But he quickly denied his own idea, if the other side of the door was really the universe, I am afraid that the moment the door is opened, the desks and chairs in this classroom will all be sucked into the door due to the pressure.

And the so-called selection of weapons is actually to let students walk into this void and float in the endless void. It is said that everyone has a weapon of their own, and there is a certain aspect between the monk and the weapon, which will be silently attracted in the endless nothingness, and finally meet.

Tang Mengyao raised her hand and asked Wu Qizi: "Teacher, how do you know if the weapon you encounter is suitable for you? After all, it's not impossible if it is floating together." ”

The god of blameless children mysteriously stroked his long white beard: "When you meet, you will naturally know." ”

The process of selecting weapons is different from the previous summoning of guardian spirits, not one by one, but can be participated by all students. After the introduction of the innocent man, everyone lined up to enter the small door that led to the arsenal.

Originally, Jiang Chen walked with Xia Mai Jingyu and the fat man, and when the four of them just entered the void, the fat man was still chattering beside him: "I hope I can get a super wind long sword." ”

But in the blink of an eye, the distance between the people has narrowed, giving people the illusion that it is not that the distance has become farther away, but that everyone's body has shrunk infinitely, and the space is infinitely large. This feeling is very strange, it is originally a boundless nothingness, how can it produce the illusion of infinity?

After a while, Jiang Chen found that there was no one in sight. The light in the whole space was very faint, and occasionally he could see some shadows similar to weapons floating by, and he tried to reach for it, but found that because of the lack of references, he couldn't touch what he thought was very close to him. At this time, he was distracted again, and instead of hurrying to find the weapon he had in hand, he began to think about a problem—if he found a weapon, how would he go back to the classroom? After all, he seemed to be floating in the void all the time, and he could not remember the direction of his return.

Something was pushing against his back.

It's like a person is constantly poking his back with his fingers, so he subconsciously grabs a soft thing when he grabs it back.

When I got it in front of my eyes and took a closer look, I saw that it was a mass similar to an octopus tentacle. And the tentacles seemed to be alive, squirming around their bodies for a while.

Jiang Chen only felt that goosebumps were rising all over his body, his scalp was numb, and he was about to throw it out when he shook his hand, but he paused at the last moment.

Something magical happened, and some information about this tentacle popped out of my mind.
