The next day, early in the morning.

Huang Xiaopang, who is used to sleeping lazily, got up early in the morning for the first time, making the entire kitchen of Huangfu busy. "Monkey three, tell them not to get it, I'm going to go out and have breakfast with Xiao Tian. ”

"Yes, young master. "Monkey San, who has followed Huang Xiaopang since he was a child, is now full of all kinds of tastes. He is not inferior to Magu at all in terms of cleverness, but he is a little slippery. That day, Huang Xiaopang asked Ma Gu to be there when Lu Xiaotian was also present, at that time, Monkey San saw that although Lu Xiaotian was a talent, his young master really valued Lu Xiaotian, but Lu Xiaotian's dress made him really dare not compliment, and at the same time, he also secretly used secret magic to sense Lu Xiaotian, and after repeatedly making sure that there were no secret magic fluctuations on Lu Xiaotian's body, he judged that this was a thankless chore, so he did not take the initiative to fight for Huang Xiaopang.

Monkey San is not an ordinary subordinate, he has secret skills, he is one of Huang Xiaopang's more valued followers, and his treatment in the Huang family is much higher than that of ordinary subordinates. At that time, as long as he fought for it, Ma Gu would definitely not have an opinion, and Huang Xiaopang would definitely agree.

It's really blinding!

Last night, Ma Gu hurriedly returned to the Yellow Mansion and bought a lot of potions and ingredients to improve his combat power from the inner court steward with ten gold coins. That's a gold coin, ten coins! That's his salary for the last two years. The steward of the Huang family was worried that Ma Gu had done something unseemly, so he asked about the source of the gold coins, and after repeated inquiries, he learned that since these gold coins were rewarded by Lu Xiaotian.

As soon as this news spread, I don't know how many people's eyes were red.

The clever Ma Gu didn't say the specific amount of Lu Xiaotian's reward, if they knew that Lu Xiaotian had rewarded Ma Gu with a hundred gold coins, it was estimated that the entire Huang family would be a sensation. In order to win the hearts of the people, the Huang family has been selling potions and ingredients to improve combat power to the children of the family and the people in the house at a price lower than the market price. The vast majority of the people in the Huang Mansion directly exchanged their fortunes and rewards for potions and ingredients to increase their combat power.

"Xiaotian, you kid can do it!" Huang Xiaopang, who had breakfast with Lu Xiaotian, opened the conversation. "You know, a bunch of people have already applied to me to be your sidekicks, and even my own cousin has cheekily asked me. ”

"Yes, if everyone can be like Magu, I will not refuse to come. ”

"Really?" asked Huang Xiaopang seriously. "Won't you favor one over the other when you give a reward in the future?"

Lu Xiaotian nodded seriously: "Absolutely not, but I will reward, and you will pay." ”

Huang Xiaopang rolled his eyes: "When I didn't say it." ”

The two walked and chatted, and it didn't take long for them to enter the mercenary guild and come to a desk. The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged woman with a dull and old-fashioned expression, who didn't lift her eyelids and handed over a wooden sign in a machine. "Number 38. ”

"Next. "This is ...... efficient" This is too casual. Lu Xiaotian was obviously thundered by the middle-aged woman who handed out the brand.

"It doesn't matter if she's casual, missions and battles aren't casual. Huang Xiaopang reminded: "Even if you get the brand and become a mercenary, as long as you don't complete the guild's guaranteed mission, you will be expelled and never hired." ”

"Also, if you don't have the strength, not only will you not be recruited by the team, but others will not team up with you to take on the mission. ”

Lu Xiaotian nodded: "It's me who idealized." ”

Seeing Lu Xiaotian admit his mistake, Huang Xiaopang looked arrogant. "You can use all your strength in the mercenary assessment, but it's best not to kill you, there are many forces and teams that will send people to secretly observe, and ruthless mercenaries are difficult to be accepted by everyone. ”

"Understood!"

"No. 38 vs. No. 48. Site 8. A crisp female voice interrupted, and she wanted to continue to tell Huang Xiaopang.

"Brother Tian, come on. ”

"Lu Shao, come on, you must be good!" Ma Gu and Monkey San cheered for Lu Xiaotian at the same time.

Lu Xiaotian nodded to indicate that he had received it, then unloaded the wooden box he was carrying and handed it to Lu Tianhe, holding the long sword with him in his hand.

The Mercenary Guild's assessment competition is very simple, as long as the combat strength reaches the first level, they can directly participate in the next round of elimination, and the mystic can skip the primary elimination stage and go directly to the group stage. Combatants with intermediate combat power can also skip the knockout round and go straight to the group stage like a junior mysticist.

When he signed up yesterday, Lu Xiaotian tested his combat power with 68 points, and he was an intermediate-level combatant, and the staff in charge of the test asked him to participate in the group stage today.

48-man group stage, court 8.

"Alcatel. A young man with a small head, white hair, and even his eyebrows were silver-white took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Lu Xiaotian. ”

"Mystic, this is the first time I've actually fought a mystic. Lu Xiaotian was a little looking forward to it, he wanted to analyze the true strength of these secret magicians.

"Please advise. Alcatra, who didn't want to greet him, opened the distance between him and Lu Xiaotian, and waved an ice pick to attack Lu Xiaotian. Alcatel is very smart, he found out that Lu Xiaotian is a melee martial artist and wants to use long-range consumption.

"Wow, Ice Mystic!" There was an envious ridicule in the audience, among the recorded secret arts, the eight secret techniques of wind, fire, thunder, lightning, water, wood, ice and earth belonged to the best secret arts.

"Ability to condense ice and snow, mysticist?" Lu Xiaotian easily blocked Alcatel's attack with a snap of his sword.

"Whoosh!Whoosh!whoosh!" failed to hit Alcatel and immediately accelerated its attack.

"It's too weak. Lu Xiaotian frowned, in front of absolute power, all bells and whistles attacks were in vain.

"Ahh

"It's so strong, it seems that the fanatics are not in vain. ”

"This person in front of him is a madman? He looks like a dog, and he really can't see that he is such a nobody!"

"If it weren't for the Huang family's cover, no matter how crazy a person is, he would have to lie down when he arrives in our forest capital. The onlookers on the sidelines have a unanimous attitude towards the outside world, they are all young and vigorous, and no one is convinced by anyone's age.

"Secret Technique - Extreme Freeze, Steel Snow Shield, Condensation!" Alcatel, who was about to speed up the attack, didn't expect Lu Xiaotian's speed to be so fast, the long sword was coming, and he hurriedly used his mastery.

"Bang dang!" The sound of metal clashing.

"It's worthy of the Ice and Snow Secret Technique, it's too strong. ”

Lu Xiaotian knew the power of the sword just now. "Yes, go on. "Judging by Alcatel's mystic powers, he's just an entry-level mystic. Normally, the Mystic Shield condensed by an entry-level Mystic Master can resist attacks from around 60 points of combat power, of course, this is only an approximate battle data value, and the battle between combatants will always only depend on the result. At the same time, the quality of secret arts, the strength of combat skills, and even external items will add additional help.

"Come again. Lu Xiaotian was about to swing his sword and slash again.

"Is this kid crazy?"

"Yes, why did he take the initiative to attack, with such a strong defensive shield, even if he couldn't defeat the fanatic, at least he could remain undefeated. Everyone in the audience looked puzzled, Alcatel had given up all defenses, and the whole person rushed towards Lu Xiaotian.

Lu Xiaotian's sword just now is only understood by the person concerned, Alcatel knows his secret technique, he knows that if he resists hard, he can't block a few swords, and it is better to take the initiative than to sit and wait for death. Alcatel, who had silver hair and silver eyebrows, gave up the ice and snow shield and rushed towards Lu Xiaotian in danger of serious injury, he had only one purpose - to get close.

"Mystics with ranged attacks choose melee combat?

"With no shield at all, he will definitely be seriously injured by the fanatic. ”

Lu Xiaotian frowned, he didn't choose to take out the sword, there must be a demon when things go wrong, this is the true meaning he has comprehended from countless fights. He flashed lightly, deftly avoiding the oncoming Alcatel.

"Secret Arts—Freeze, Cover in Ice. "Alcatel, who is ready to fly, can no longer withdraw the secret art, his move is a melee skill, and he can only leave it empty on the field if he loses his target. An ice pile instantly formed in the stadium, which stood out in the sunlight. "I lost. Alcatel, who is not as good as others, decisively admits defeat, and all the tricks have been used, and it will definitely be boring to fight again.

"You're good. Lu Xiaotian still agreed with Alcatel's battle whimsy.

"Thank you!" Alcatel looked very lonely, and his silver eyes flashed helplessly.

Lu Xiaotian's heart was somewhat shocked, if he was at the same level as Alcatel, he was frozen, and it was very likely that he would be defeated because he couldn't resist the cold. But their strength was obviously unequal, even if he was frozen by ice and snow just now, he could easily break free from that thin layer of shield.

However, Lu Xiaotian was thinking that if Alcatel continued to improve, his secret skills would continue to improve...... So will his attack speed be faster, will he be able to condense a thicker ice and snow shield, and will he be able to cast his mastery from a long distance without getting close to the opponent - frozen, covered with ice, frozen opponent?

If it's really the same as I think, then the attack secret technique and the ancient martial arts have to fight, the sword kills, the qi kills, is the ancient martial arts advanced to the ancient martial arts master's signature skills, and the secret art has the same effect.

"The tenth game, No. 38 Lu Xiaotian wins!"

"No. 48 Alcatel is out. No. 38 Lu Xiaotian entered the group stage of the top 24. Lu Xiaotian withdrew from the venue. Alcatel's arcane arts made him even more interested in arcane arts, and he wanted to watch the next battle.

"Brother Tian, mighty. ”

"Lu Shao, it's good, you have defeated an ice secret magician!"

"Is an ice mystic special?"

Ma Gu and Monkey San were immediately stopped by Lu Xiaotian, and they were thinking about it at the same time. "Brother Tian won't even know this, right?"

"This Lu Shao...... I'll have to behave well in the future. The clever monkey San seemed to have caught something, and his pointed face was very excited.

"Do you want to know? Please, please, I'll tell you. Huang Xiaopang looked stunned.

"Is your young master born so cheap?"
