"Appeal ......"

On the mountain road outside the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, several carriages were slowly coming from different directions, except for someone from the court, there were obviously other people.

Although the Inner Courtyard Examination is only a matter of leaving the Palace Sword Academy, it is not a trivial matter for the entire capital.

Naturally, there are many people who want to come to the ceremony.

Except for the officials in the court, who came uninvited, most of the rest of the spectators had greeted the Sword Academy, these were all disciples from the cultivation mountain gate near the capital, and they were relatively peaceful with the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, and there was no grudge.

The most representative ones are the Star Picking House and Ewha Academy.

Li Mengzhou saw Guan Muyun's figure in a certain carriage, he was getting out of the carriage and tidying up his clothes a little.

In last year's academy, Guan Muyun should have been the most famous disciple.

I was admitted to the college with the best grades.

Speaking of which, it has been a few months since I last met Guan Muyun.

The childishness on Guan Muyun's face has also faded a lot, and he is also sixteen years old this year.

Outside the mountain gate of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, which is clean on weekdays, it has become lively again since the meeting with the Asking Dao that does not fall on the mountain.

Fan Wuwei's action on the mountain paused slightly, looked back at Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about us, we can go up the mountain by ourselves." ”

Shen Jiyue waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

"The mountain gate of the palace has never dealt with the outside world, and the most lively time is when there are new disciples to enter, and every year there will be a question with the mountain gate, and finally it is the inner courtyard exam once every two years. The first two things are naturally not as lively as the big exam in the inner courtyard, so it is normal to have places that cannot be taken care of. ”

Fan Wuwei said with a smile.

He didn't go up the mountain immediately, but looked at the carriages on the mountain road, saw the people getting off the carriages, and said, "There are disciples from the academy and the Star Picking Mansion who have come to watch the ceremony, presumably in addition to congratulations, they are also in the mood to learn. Although the Leaving Palace Sword Academy is not as good as the Academy and the Star Picking Mansion, it can also be equally famous, and they have sent outstanding disciples from their respective academies, which can be regarded as very sincere. ”

Li Mengzhou's gaze moved away from Guan Muyun's body and turned to the young man who got off in another carriage, the clothes decorated with stars had already proved his identity.

It was a gentle-looking man, with a soft smile on his lips, and he bowed slightly to the rest of the carriage to get down.

Shen Jiyue blurted out: "This person is very good-looking." ”

Li Mengzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You like good-looking ones so much, maybe you will marry someone who is not good-looking in the future." ”

Shen Jiyue said, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Li Mengzhou shook his head and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

Shen Jiyue thought that he was saying that it was impossible for two people to be together, and was about to say something playfully, but she didn't expect Li Mengzhou to say again: "I look so good." ”

"Poof......

Shen Jiyue looked at him with black lines on her face.

Fan Wuwei looked at the two young girls with great interest, and said: "That person is the eldest disciple of the Star Picking Mansion, Zhong Xiyan, he is a genius who has entered the Wuzhang Realm, and he is as famous as the third and fourth gentlemen of your Sword Academy, in the entire Star Picking Mansion, except for Shen Qiubai, it is this Zhong Xiyan." ”

Zhong Xiyan is considered one of the most outstanding disciples in the Star Picking Mansion, and he may not be as famous as Shen Qiubai, who has the title of the son of Daotian, but looking at the younger generation of the entire Jiang Kingdom, he is also a very small number of young talents.

At this moment, the senior brother of the Star Picking Mansion stood in the crowd, with a handsome face, and when he was talking and laughing, his posture alone overshadowed everyone, especially standing out from the crowd.

Even if Guan Muyun is valuable, after all, he is still young, and he is far inferior to Zhong Xiyan in terms of temperament and cultivation.

Standing next to him, he naturally became a foil.

The better the young person, the more confident and proud they feel, and they don't want to see themselves being compared to others.

But Guan Muyun, who also paid attention to Zhong Xiyan, had a feeling of helplessness.

He didn't want to be bored.

Zhong Xiyan is already standing at a very high height, Guan Muyun is still walking on this road, and even if he is just starting out, there is really no reason to compare.

And he believes that in the future, he will also stand on such a height, and the person who has attracted the attention of all will become him.

Fan Wuwei had already gone straight up the mountain.

Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue came down from the mountain again and stood in front of the white stone tablet.

Zhong Xiyan had a faint smile on his face, and waved his hands as a salute: "The Star Picking Mansion visited the mountain gate of the palace, and came to watch the big examination in the inner courtyard. ”

Shen Jiyue also returned the salute and was polite.

Jiang Guo is a place where etiquette is very important, so Li Mengzhou also returned the salute, but did not say anything.

"Brother Li. ”

However, Guan Muyun specially greeted Li Mengzhou, and the students from the academy were more standardized in etiquette.

Li Mengzhou nodded slightly and said, "I heard that you have also entered the realm of promise?"

Guan Muyun smiled: "It's just a fluke, it's not as good as Brother Li's feat of breaking through the realm and becoming famous in the first battle." ”

In the capital, there are many rumors about these two teenagers.

A great monk like Zhong Xiyan, who has entered the realm of insignificance, is naturally more famous, but Li Mengzhou and Guan Muyun are newcomers after all, and the discussions in the market are all around these two genius boys who have risen fastest in the capital.

Li Mengzhou didn't care much about these rumors, and he didn't want to pay attention to the things that compared him and Guan Muyun together.

But Guan Muyun obviously cares about this matter.

Young people are originally very competitive, and Guan Muyun is indeed a little younger, even though he has a high talent, but this is also the capital that makes him proud, so it is difficult for Li Mengzhou, who is at the same level as him in the capital, not to let him pay attention.

There are many reasons why Guan Muyun broke through the realm a year ago because Li Mengzhou broke through the realm at the Asking Dao Conference, and he didn't want to be compared.

At this moment, Li Mengzhou took the initiative to mention this matter, although he was a little proud, but he still behaved very tactfully.

Although the sect of the Star Picking Mansion is not in the capital, there is also a palace of the Star Picking Mansion in the capital, and the star lord with the position of the national teacher is also at the peak of the Five Realms, and most of them are also staying in the capital.

It was only a few years ago that I returned to the mountain gate because of some things that needed to be dealt with.

Now that Zhong Xiyan has appeared in the capital, it also means that the national teacher has also returned to the capital.

For what happened in the capital last winter, the Star Picking Mansion also heard about it, but in fact, Zhong Xiyan was not very clear, he had heard the disciples of the Star Picking Mansion who stayed in the capital all the year round talk about Li Mengzhou and Guan Muyun, after all, they were the two most hotly discussed figures last year, and all forces would pay attention to it.

But Zhong Xiyan didn't recognize these two teenagers.

Now that I heard their conversation, I quickly figured out the identities of these two people.

He looked at it with some curiosity, and then made some unexpected discoveries, and couldn't help but say: "It is rumored that Senior Brother Li entered Amaterasu after half a day's visualization, which is indeed a very surprising thing for cultivators. Even for the most qualified people, the visualization time is very long, and as far as I know, the shortest time to visualize Amaterasu for the first time is three months. ”

"Although there is nothing mysterious about the initial realm stage, and the general cultivation speed from the second realm to the third realm is not very slow, but Senior Brother Li can't see the sea of qi after entering Amaterasu, and it has only been more than four months since he started to meditate, but he has already entered the upper realm of Chengyi, and he can really be called a monster. ”

This is not the time spent on visualization, but since the beginning of visualization, in the space of more than four months, one after another, across Amaterasu, far away, and directly to Chengyi, such a speed of cultivation can only be described by the word monster.

It's not that there are no monsters in the world who can do this, but there are very few, but Li Mengzhou, as a person who can't see the sea of qi, is equivalent to one more pass than ordinary cultivators, but he still broke through to the Chengyi Upper Realm in such a short period of time, and this achievement alone can be called the highest peak of the younger generation.

Although Guan Muyun also faintly touched the threshold of the upper realm of Chengyi, compared to Li Mengzhou's past, Zhong Xiyan obviously cared more about the latter.

Li Mengzhou, who heard this, didn't react yet.

But Guan Muyun's face changed slightly.

He didn't deliberately perceive Li Mengzhou's current cultivation realm, thinking that not much time had passed from years ago to now, and he didn't think that Li Mengzhou's cultivation had advanced in such a short period of time.

However, listening to Zhong Xiyan's words, he couldn't help but feel it.

It turned out that Li Mengzhou had really broken into the upper realm of Chengyi.

For a moment, there was no sound on the mountain road except the sound of the wind.

Guan Muyun looked at Li Mengzhou, thinking that he had finally caught up with him, but he was quickly distanced, and after such a long time, the rumors in the capital were not the two of them, but only Li Mengzhou.

It's hard to be reconciled.

But he didn't naively refute anything, doing something like that would only make it more embarrassing.

Regarding Zhong Xi's words of surprise and admiration, Li Mengzhou just replied very calmly: "Because there is one more insurmountable obstacle than others, you need to work harder to practice, and this is just the reward that should be paid after paying." ”

Zhong Xiyan was slightly stunned, then said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li is young, his cultivation attainments are extraordinary, but he is not arrogant or impatient, he can indeed be called an outstanding talent, I believe that in the near future, he will definitely stand at the peak of Jiang Guo's cultivators." ”

This is not an exaggeration.

If you follow Li Mengzhou's cultivation and enter the realm, as long as you don't die halfway, it will be a matter of time before you break into the five realms, and it will never be obscure, but it will be the object of competition from all forces.

But in other words, the better the performance, even if it will gain a lot of popularity, but it will also be accompanied by more dangers, which is directly proportional.
