Chapter 32: Divergent Speculation and Fantastical Goals
The wind seemed to come suddenly, and in an instant it blew away the smoke and the dark clouds that obscured the moon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
There was nothing in front of him, and after Wang Shi confirmed that the assassin had left, he fell straight down.
It's dangerous!
At that time, as long as the assassin stayed for a while, he would find that Wang Shi was bluffing, Wang Shi no longer had any strength to resist, and he had a fierce appearance.
Wang Shi found that the knife technique when chopping wood had changed after the blessing of spiritual power, and the consumption of spiritual power was extremely huge, but the damage caused was also extremely huge, and the knife was incredibly fast. Wang Shi didn't expect his knife to be so fast, although the knife was fast, but the strange route of the knife still hadn't changed, so the knife that Wang Shi cut out was still irresistible.
Wang Shi called the knife technique when chopping wood "Yangui knife method".
However, with the realm of a period of qi, it was impossible to make the "Yangui Sword Technique" give full play to its power, Wang Shi found that as long as the number of knives he cut, the more powerful it became, and he could only cut three knives now, and it was these three knives that forced the assassin back.
Wang Shi lay on the ground panting heavily, looking at the moon with his eyes open, his whole body was in pain like pins and needles, and he could feel the muscles in his body twitching. Such pain can make people die, but Wang Shi has long been accustomed to enduring pain, Wang Shi did not let himself fall asleep, nor was he excited because he defeated the assassin. Wang Shi is very calm now, he feels the flow of aura around him, and he tries hard to absorb the aura, feeling that the path of cultivation is too far, but fortunately, he has already started to start.
This can be said to be Wang Shi's first battle after entering the cultivation, and the battle with Zhuang Kai is not counted, because there were too many constraints at that time, as if someone had tied his hands and feet to fight. Tonight is different, this is a battle that is completely risked with his life, as long as he makes the slightest mistake, he will go to death, and that kind of calm breathing under tension is what Wang Shi wants.
Regardless of winning or losing, Wang Shi was very satisfied with his performance.
The path of cultivation has finally been taken.
......
When Zhao Wenqi found Wang Shi, he was lying in the courtyard, the yard was a mess, the blooming flowers were buried in the mud mixed with blood, Wang Shi's body was stained with blood, but fortunately, Wang Shi's breathing was still smooth. After Zhao Wenqi made sure that Wang Shi was fine, he began to carefully observe the courtyard, and walked around the courtyard, and finally half-squatted beside Wang Shi to observe the injuries on his body. Zhao Wenqi thought for a while and woke up Wang Shi.
"Big brother, you're here. β
"How does it feel?"
"Nothing's wrong. β
"You're still lying on the ground if it's okay?"
Wang Shi smiled and said, "You are blocking the sun, I am just basking in the sun here." β
"I'll get you out of the way. Isn't the injury serious? If it's not serious, I'll go to the fourth senior sister to have a look. β
"No need, I'll still bandage this little wound myself. β
"I'll help you go. β
"No need. β
"Someone came to beat you up last night?"
"Hmm. β
"Then why didn't you shout?"
"Hasn't he been beaten away by me?"
"Why are you so good at beating you up?"
"Prizes have been awarded. Wang Shi said with a smile.
"Then tell me about your heroic deeds. β
"Anyway, last night the dark clouds covered the moon, and the surroundings were silent, without a trace of wind ......," Wang Shi said with a gesture imitating Zhao Wenqi's tone when he said big words.
"Getting to the point. Zhao Wenqi said impatiently.
After Wang Shi told him about last night's events, Zhao Wenqi thought quietly for a while.
"He asked me where the book was, but I didn't have any special books, only the nameless book given by the master, and then as soon as I talked about the book of exercises, he immediately became excited, is he really here to get the book?"
"Eighty percent is not like this, that broken book has a fart use? Last time you wrote me a book, my head was too big, and you are a young junior brother who has just started, and there is really no treasure worth coveting. β
"Big brother, who do you think will want to kill me?"
"How do you conclude that the man who came here is trying to kill you?"
"Do you have to wait until I'm dead to be sure that someone wants to kill me?"
"Well, there are some things that don't work on the surface, and only with the results can we determine what it is. Zhao Wenqi nodded.
Wang Shi almost rolled his eyes and said, "Then why did you say that you didn't kill me for nothing?"
"Temptation, you will never know the person who comes, and you will have no grievance with you, let alone covet your treasures. β
"Temptation?" Wang Shi asked.
"Yes, to test how strong you are. The person who came is the realm of the four stages of the Qi Condensation Realm, and it is not too difficult to kill you, you don't think that if you win Zhuang Kai, you can win the four stages of the Qi person, it is pure luck that you can win Zhuang Kai. According to what you said, the person who came here is light and smart, and he is not good at using a sword, but he uses a sword to deal with you, which means that he wants to cover up his identity, and if he uses the weapon he is good at, it must be too conspicuous, and you will recognize it at a glance, so he uses a sword. β
"The place where we live is so close, I didn't hear a fight in your yard, I took a look outside just now, the people who came should have used special things to shield the fluctuations of spiritual power, and the things that can shield the fluctuations of spiritual power are very valuable, and the people who come must have a very good background, and eighty percent of them are assigned by someone. β
"What do you say has to do with the fact that he didn't come to kill me, but to test me?"
"Because these can only be established on the basis of one thing, in Qingyun Mountain, no one dares to kill people at the feet of Shizun, and the only thing left is to test you. β
Wang Shi thought about it for a while and felt that it seemed to make sense.
"What's the use of tempting me?"
"Of course it works! Don't you know that Donglai Mountain's once-a-decade star picking ceremony is about to begin?"
"I don't know. Wang Shi shook his head.
"Idiot. Zhao Wenqi rolled his eyes and continued. "The so-called Star Picking Ceremony is a competition between the disciples of Donglai Mountain, and the disciples under the seven masters will compete with each other. And there is little communication between the seven peaks of Donglai Mountain, and it is normal to have no bottom in your heart when you meet and fight, if you can understand the opponent in advance, then you can ensure half of the winning rate. In the battle below the fifth stage of Qi in the Condensation Realm, there is very little competition for spiritual power consumption, and it is generally won by surprise, if you understand the opponent's hole cards, it means that you have won half of it. Why did the people who flew to the peak come? It was to prepare for the star picking ceremony in advance. I guess it was the news that you had won the village that got out that someone would test you. β
"Am I really that strong, and I am still worth being tempted?"
"You're not strong, but you're unexpected, and the guy last night didn't expect to lose to you. β
"Is the Star Ceremony important?"
"Don't you want to participate?"
"Not interested. β
"Why?" Zhao Wenqi asked in surprise.
"Because you can't kill, a battle without the belief that you must die will never be exciting. β
Zhao Wenqi immediately knocked Wang Shi on the head and said, "Idiot! How do you know how to kill people? You know how to fight and kill all day long! Last time you almost killed Zhuang Kai! Do you know that the competition is a pure friendship competition? It is not for you to kill! It is an opportunity for our disciples to show their own style, don't you want to participate? Don't you want to become famous and become the focus of attention in one fell swoop? Or do you want to admit that you are weaker than others and not participate in the star picking ceremony?"
"No, I don't want to compete. β
"Idiot! You must know that the first place in the ceremony has a rich reward, besides, don't you still understand Donglai Mountain? What is the point of killing someone in Donglai Mountain?"
"How many places did the eldest brother take last time?" Wang Shi suddenly asked curiously.
"First!" Zhao Wenqi said disdainfully.
"Big brother was the first in Donglai Mountain ten years ago?!"
"Of course!"
"Big brother was stronger than big brother ten years ago?"
"Wellβalmost!" Zhao Wenqi said after a moment's hesitation.
Wang Shi stared at Zhao Wenqi with an incredulous expression.
"Ahem. Zhao Wenqi was also a little embarrassed to be looked at by Wang Shi like this, and continued, "In fact, the star picking ceremony is divided into two parts: one is the big star picking, which is attended by people who have been in the beginner for more than ten years, and the other is the small star picking, which is participated by people who have been in the beginner for less than ten years. Big brother, I won the first place last time in the small star picking. β
"That's it!" Wang Shi looked disdainful.
Zhao Wenqi knocked Wang Shi again, and said angrily: "What tone do you have? What kind of expression? Let me tell you! If you can also win the first place in the Little Star Picker, I will lift your shoes for you! Do you think you can win the championship of the Little Star Pick just by you? You may not even be able to beat Zhuang Kai, let alone others!"
Wang Shi stopped talking.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's dumb? Are you scared?"
"No, I'm thinking about whether to participate, and the most important thing is that your commitment is too tempting. β
Do you know what the reward for being the first is? After getting the reward, I can guarantee that you will be able to jump three realms in a row immediately. β
"Really?" Wang Shi was really moved, the temptation of jumping three realms in a row was too great.
"If you win first. β
"First, I've won!" Wang Shi said confidently.
"Do you really think you can win the first place? If you get the first place, I will really lift your shoes! Not to mention whether Zhuang Kai can win or not, just those few disciples who have been in the beginner for nine years, you don't even have the qualifications to stand in front of them! They are not rookies who only know how to practice aura like Zhuang Kai, they are really people who have killed people, they are all like you, they are very good at fighting, maybe you are better at killing people than them, but this little gap is not worth mentioning in the face of the huge realm gap. What else do you have besides the weird sword technique when you chop wood? Sword skills, spiritual arts, or realms? You don't have any of them, and you still want to win the first place like this? It's just wishful thinking!"
"Big brother, borrow me the light spirit talisman?"
"What do you think the light charm is? It's toilet paper! You can have as much as you want? Let me tell you, the last light spirit charm has bankrupted my family, and you owe me a great favor!"
"I owe you!"
"But, seriously, you might be able to win. Zhao Wenqi said leisurely.
"I'm normal. Wang Shi corrected Zhao Wenqi's wording.
"Who would have thought that you would suddenly enter the Qi Condensation Realm? maybe you would suddenly jump several realms in a row, directly reaching the fifth stage of Qi in the Qi Condensing Realm. β
"Daydreaming. Wang Shi said honestly.
"There's no way you can win but daydream. β
Wang Shi pondered for a while and had to admit this fact. Wang Shi, who had not entered the Qi Condensation Realm, might still have some illusions, but after entering the Qi Condensing Realm, Wang Shi understood how huge the gap between the realms was. The level of the realm is the foundation of everything, the more Wang Shi understands, the more he feels that it is too incredible to win Zhuang Kai at that time, and the more he feels how impossible it is to win Zhuang Kai again, let alone win someone who is stronger than Zhuang Kai.
"But you still have a month to go, and the star ceremony will take place in a month. β
"A month?" According to Wang Shi's estimate, he could only enter the second stage of the Qi Condensation Realm after a month.
"After a month, you have to condense at least three stages of Qi Realm before you can try your best. β
"Yes. Wang Shi nodded.
"You need to learn the Wind Resisting Technique in this month's time, after all, this is the most basic spiritual technique, if you can't even learn the Wind Resisting Technique, you won't have any chance of winning. If you encounter someone like Fourth Senior Sister Jiang Yao who uses a spirit weapon such as a flying needle or uses spiritual arts, then you can't even get close to someone else's body, and you will lose a mess, so the study of wind control is very important. You have to break through to the third stage of Qi Condensation Realm in a month's time, you have to rethink your sword technique, and you have to learn the Wind Resisting Technique, none of these three things can be completed in a month. β
"I feel like I can. Wang Shi said seriously.
Zhao Wenqi shook his head.
Wang Shi suddenly laughed.
Zhao Wenqi paused.
"Don't you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!"
"Then I'll prove it to you. β
"Pull you down!"
"I can't help it, someone else will. β
"Who?"
"Master!"
Zhao Wenqi was very stunned and asked, "How can you be sure that the master will give you guidance?"
"Shizun is a good person. β
Zhao Wenqi suddenly smiled, what Wang Shi said was right, if you want to win, asking for help from your master is the only way.
