Chapter 340: Freshman Martial Arts Competition
readx;? After a pause, Humber continued: "Therefore, even if it is a first- or second-order flying desolate demon, its price is sky-high, and most desolate demons have a violent internal factor in their hearts, and they are unwilling to submit to others, so it is very difficult to domesticate a flying desolate demon.

Zhao Jingfeng nodded slightly, and then gradually fell silent.
Hong Bo looked at the silent Zhao Jingfeng, and said: "Fourth young master, your eldest brother Zhao Xiongying is also studying in the Confucius and Mencius Academy, after several years of cultivation, it must be not far from the martial artist, if you encounter any trouble in the academy, you might as well go to your eldest brother to help you solve it." ā
"yes, I see. Zhao Jingfeng replied softly. But it is a little complicated in his heart, for his mysterious eldest brother, Zhao Jingfeng has never seen it, and for the character of the eldest brother Zhao Xiongying, Zhao Jingfeng is not clear, in his heart he is really a little worried that the cultivation talent he shows will make the eldest brother Zhao Xiongying jealous, so as to be like the third brother Zhao Shuang, try every means to make things difficult for himself, after all, living in a big family, such a thing is not uncommon, in his previous life when he walked in the cultivation realm, Zhao Jingfeng encountered a lot of things that made brothers kill each other because of the struggle for the power of the family.
In Zhao Jingfeng's heart, he really didn't want such a thing to happen to him, in his previous life, he was an orphan and had never felt any family affection, and now that God has given him a family, he also cherishes this family very much.
The flight speed of the iron-winged eagle demon was very fast, and after half a day of flight, it finally arrived at the Confucius and Mencius Academy, and at this time, the iron-winged eagle demon had been reduced to a height of 100 meters under the control of Hong Bo.
Confucius and Mencius Academy is built on a plain, surrounded by a majestic city wall up to ten meters high, the academy is very large, covering a very vast area, even in the air of 100 meters, Zhao Jingfeng can not see the whole picture of the academy.
Confucius and Mencius Academy is the most famous academy in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and today is the annual opening ceremony of the academy, so it is very lively at the entrance of the academy, the number of people is very large, and there are many luxuriously decorated carriages parked not far away, but the horses are completely replaced by the desolate demon whose name Zhao Jingfeng can't name, and almost every carriage is guarded by a few guards.
In the sky, from time to time, there were flying desolate demons flying by, flying straight towards the academy across the walls of the academy, and on the flying desolate demons, there was a young child without exception.
Hong Bo controlled the flying desolate demon to enter the academy directly, and finally stopped in front of a high tower with a diameter of hundreds of meters in the center of the academy, and then directly entered the tower with Zhao Jingfeng. And outside the tower, there are still quite a few flying desolate demons staying there.
Then, Zhao Jingfeng followed Hong Bo directly to the top floor of the tower, and met the dean of Confucius and Mencius Academy, the director of Confucius and Mencius Academy was an old man about the same age as Hong Bo, and to Zhao Jingfeng's surprise, the dean of Confucius and Mencius Academy and Hong Bo were still friends in the old age.
Because of this relationship with Hong Bo, the problem of Zhao Jingfeng's enrollment was easily solved, and then under the command of the dean of Confucius and Mencius Academy, Zhao Jingfeng's brother Zhao Xiongying was also called to the tower, so that Zhao Jingfeng finally saw this mysterious big brother he had never seen.
Zhao Xiongying is eighteen years old this year, and he is at the same age as Zhao Qingchun, Zhao Jingfeng's second sister, but he is only three months older than Zhao Qingchun.
Zhao Xiongying is a very strong young man, a head taller than Zhao Jingfeng, wearing the uniform clothes in the academy, he has been in the academy for more than two years, and the spiritual power in his body has reached the peak of the tenth layer, but he has not yet condensed the natal soul treasure.
Although the peak of the tenth layer of spiritual power is only one step away from the martial artist, but there is a huge hurdle in the middle, it is very difficult to condense the natal soul treasure, on the martial arts continent, some people cannot condense the natal soul treasure in their lifetime, without good qualifications and extraordinary talents, it will be difficult to successfully condense the natal soul treasure, and according to what the dean said, Zhao Xiongying has reached the peak of the tenth layer of spiritual power a year ago, during which he has tried to condense the natal soul treasure three times, but in the end it all ended in failure.
However, on the Martial Arts Continent, there are not many people who can successfully condense this life soul treasure at the age of eighteen, usually they only condense this life soul treasure at the age of twenty, of course, there are also some people with poor qualifications who can successfully condense this life soul treasure in their twenties, but this kind of person usually can't go far on the road of cultivation.
Due to the abundant aura of the Martial Continent, people's lifespans are usually about two hundred years old, and those who can successfully condense the natal soul treasure at the age of twenty are also considered good.
Hong Bo pointed at Zhao Xiongying and said to Zhao Jingfeng: "Fourth Young Master, this is your eldest brother Zhao Xiongying." Immediately, Hong Bo looked at Zhao Xiongying and said, "Young Master, this is your fourth brother Zhao Jingfeng." ā
"Big brother!" Zhao Jingfeng looked at Zhao Xiongying and smiled faintly, and called softly, which can be regarded as a greeting, but in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he also found that Zhao Xiongying's whole person was a bit of a tiger's head, which was completely inconsistent with what he thought.
Listening to Zhao Jingfeng's shout, Zhao Xiongying scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I can't let you scream in vain this big brother, if someone bullies you in the academy in the future, you come directly to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will help you beat him." ā
Hearing this, Zhao Jingfeng showed a smile on his face and said, "Then it will be troublesome for the eldest brother." The first time they met, Zhao Jingfeng had a good impression of his eldest brother Zhao Xiongying, and now, the trace of worry that remained in Zhao Jingfeng's heart also completely disappeared with Zhao Xiongying's words.
Zhao Xiongying shook his head, and said with a smile: "No trouble, no trouble, no matter how I say that I am also your eldest brother, it is appropriate to protect the fourth brother." Speaking of this, Zhao Xiongying's tone paused, his eyes scanned back and forth around, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he asked Hong Bo: "Uncle Hong, what about the second sister and third brother." ā
"The eldest young master, the second young lady and the third young master have not yet met the criteria for admission, so only the fourth young master came alone this time. Humber said in a calm tone.
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhao Xiongying showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, and muttered: "Why haven't they reached the admission standard yet, this is too stupid, it's still the fourth brother who is powerful, and he has reached the eighth layer of spiritual power so quickly, which is even more powerful than me, the eldest brother." ā
"Young Master, you take the Fourth Young Master down first, you have to take good care of your Fourth Brother in the future, I still have some things to talk to the dean. Humb said.
Zhao Xiongying nodded fiercely, patted his chest and promised: "Uncle Hong, don't worry, I will definitely not let the fourth brother be bullied by others in the academy." ā
Subsequently, after Zhao Jingfeng received an identity jade card, he left here with his eldest brother Zhao Xiongying.
After walking out of the tower, Zhao Jingfeng looked at the identity jade plate in his hand, in addition to the certificate representing the student, this identity jade plate also had the address of the dormitory on it.
Although Zhao Jingfeng was not familiar with the terrain in Confucius and Mencius Academy, because his eldest brother Zhao Xiongying was leading the way, he soon came to the dormitory address recorded on the identity jade plate.
The dormitories in the academy are all made of a very firm stone, and they are divided into two areas, one of which is where some civilian students rest, and the other is where students like Zhao Jingfeng who have some family backgrounds behind them rest, and the environment is much better than the area where civilians rest.
Since Confucius and Mencius Academy is the most famous academy in the Southern Ming Dynasty, it naturally has its unique side, the rules of Confucius and Mencius Academy are very strict, the minimum standard for admission is to have eight layers of spiritual power before the age of eighteen, as long as you meet the entire standard, then you have the opportunity to enter Confucius and Mencius Academy for further study, if you do not meet the entire requirements, even if you are a noble family with a strong background, you will not be able to enter Confucius and Mencius Academy for further study.
Because the admission fee of Confucius and Mencius Academy is very low, most civilians can accept it, and for some people who meet the admission requirements and are particularly poor, Confucius and Mencius Academy will also exempt him from all tuition fees, so among the students of Confucius and Mencius Academy, civilian students account for a large part, but the civilian students who can come here have a lot of talent in cultivation.
In the Confucius and Mencius Academy, there is an iron rule, that is, noble disciples are not allowed to bully poor students at will, otherwise, no matter how big your family background is, you will be severely punished, and if the situation is serious, you will even be expelled from the academy, although this will offend some big families, but the background of Confucius and Mencius Academy is the Nanming Dynasty, and its president is also one of the six strong people in the Nanming Dynasty, so those big families in the Nanming Dynasty dare not have anything to say about this provision.
Zhao Jingfeng's dormitory is a small room of about ten square meters, the furnishings in the room are very simple, except for a bed and a chair, there is nothing else, but the whole room is cleaned and clean, it is simply spotless.
"Fourth brother, this is your room, remember the place, but don't go wrong. Zhao Xiongying said with a smile on the side.
Zhao Jingfeng nodded slightly, and after throwing down some of the changes of clothes he had brought with him, he was dragged by his eldest brother Zhao Xiongying to visit the campus, the reason was to familiarize Zhao Jingfeng with some of the environment here.
Next, for a whole afternoon, Zhao Jingfeng was dragged by Zhao Xiongying to wander around the campus.
At this time, Zhao Xiongying suddenly said: "Fourth brother, tomorrow is the annual freshman martial arts competition in the academy, the reward is very rich, the first rookie Wang has a third-order demon pill as a reward, and the second place has a second-order demon pill as a reward, and the third place is a first-order demon pill reward, you must work hard, strive to get the first place." ā
Hearing this, Zhao Jingfeng's heart moved slightly, and asked, "Big brother, is the third-order demon pill very precious?" Although Zhao Jingfeng knew about the demon pill, he was very confused about the price of the demon pill.
"Of course, the third-order demon pill can be sold for a hundred red gold ingots, I have been in the academy for four years, and I have never used the third-order demon pill, at most I have only used the second-order demon pill, and it cost me fifty red gold ingots to buy it. As soon as he said this, Zhao Xiongying's face showed a look of heartache.
Zhao Jingfeng thought about it slightly in his heart, and soon decided that tomorrow's freshman martial arts competition, he must try his best to get the third-order demon pill, although Zhao Jingfeng has not used the third-order demon pill, but he also knows that he can cultivate by absorbing the aura in the demon pill, and its speed is faster than absorbing the aura of heaven and earth I don't know how many times, once he has this third-order demon pill, he believes that he will soon be able to reach the tenth layer of spiritual power.
After the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Jingfeng went to the dining room of the academy under the leadership of Zhao Xiongying, and after dinner, the two separated and walked towards their own dormitories.
Back in the dormitory, Zhao Jingfeng closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed and was just about to start cultivating when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Jingfeng looked in the direction of the door suspiciously, then got out of bed, walked to the door and opened the door.
Outside the door was a woman about thirty years old, wearing a long cyan dress, although her appearance was not overwhelming, but she was also quite beautiful, and her dark green long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving people a floating feeling.
"Is there something wrong?" Looking at the woman suspiciously, Zhao Jingfeng asked.
"You are a freshman who has just entered Confucius and Mencius Academy, tomorrow the academy will hold a freshman martial arts competition, all freshmen must participate, remember not to be absent. The woman looked at Zhao Jingfeng indifferently and said coldly.
"Well, I see, is there anything else?" Zhao Jingfeng said.
"No!" the woman turned and left, heading for the next room, apparently informing the other students one by one.
Closing the door, Zhao Jingfeng returned to the bed and sat down cross-legged, and soon entered a state of cultivation.
Early the next morning, Zhao Jingfeng finished a night's cultivation, went out of the room alone, came to the dining room according to yesterday's memory, and found an empty table to eat after receiving breakfast. It was still early, so there were not many people in the dining room, and there were empty spaces everywhere.
After breakfast, Zhao Jingfeng walked directly to the practice ground in the center of the academy, where today's freshman martial arts competition was held.
Along the way, Zhao Jingfeng found that there were many students around him who were walking towards the practice ground in the center of the academy like himself, because the old students were all wearing the uniform Confucian uniforms of the academy, so Zhao Jingfeng could recognize at a glance that most of them were freshmen, and there were not many old students, perhaps some old students were not interested in the freshman martial arts competition.
