Chapter 2 Intra-clan Rivalry
Thinking of this, Li Shi said to Lu Yi, "Lu Yi, you go and help me sign up, I want to participate in the clan competition!"
"I know, young master!" Although Lu Yi was surprised by Li Shi's choice, she still respected Li Shi's decision. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Watching Lu Yi leave, Li Shi also went out, and saw the stinging beast at the door, and with a gesture of his hand, he saw that the stinging beast turned into a streamer and poured into Li Shi's body, disappearing without a trace. As long as the contract is signed, the spirit pet space will be naturally generated. Of course, it is also the existence of the spirit pet space that makes it extremely convenient for spirit animals to carry and makes pet envoys become the mainstream profession in the world.
Li Shi walked on the street, although it was within the clan, but some clansmen also knew Li Shi, and couldn't help but point, in normal times, the clansmen would not pay attention to Li Shi, only when he was a transparent person, but the clan was approaching, Li Shi was the only one who had not joined the clan until now.
Coming to Tianyi Pavilion, the Li family's library here, of course, is said to be a library pavilion, in fact, the collection of books in it is not rich, even if it is the most miscellaneous books, there are less than 100 books, as for the secret skills that can cultivate spirit beast secret techniques and spirit skills, it is even rarer, only appearing on the top layer of Tianyi Pavilion. The teaching of every spirit beast secret technique and spirit skill needs to be jointly decided by the clan elders, otherwise, even the patriarch is not qualified to teach them. Because psionic skills are the most important heritage of a family.
And Li Shi's purpose is not to be a spiritual skill, with his "waste material qualification", even if he signed a contract with a sting beast by chance, but the people in the clan regarded it as if they had never seen it, at least until now, he had never learned any skills in the clan.
Therefore, Li Shi could only study by himself, and those "miscellaneous books" were the only way for him to understand the world and learn spiritual skills.
Compared with various secret techniques, the content of these "miscellaneous books" is full of empty conjectures and boring records, not to mention secret techniques, even if it is the exposition of exercise theories and the introduction of spiritual pets, there are very few.
But in the past three years, every book here has been turned over by Li Shi, Li Shi has not found any martial arts cheats, and there is no mystery to learn, but the ideas contained in the book are the biggest harvest in Li Shi's opinion.
Li Shi, who is from modern times, naturally does not simply think that pure strength is everything, as long as he immerses himself in penance, then he can counterattack the Li family and reach the peak of life.
If that's the case, then the power is too cheap. In Li Shi's view, the power that any human being can use is limited by thinking and consciousness, even if the contract between the spirit beasts displayed in this world and the spiritual power generated after signing the contract are fundamentally different from their original world, they cannot escape the category of human thought and philosophy.
In the eyes of the Li family, these "miscellaneous studies" are just some dross to pass the time, but in Li Shi's view, they are the Bibles that lead him to a new world. Spirit beast secret technique or spirit skill mystery, these things The Li family didn't give Li Shi a point, but Li Shi didn't care either. Because Li Shi believes that if there is no spirit beast secret technique, then study it yourself, if there is no spiritual skill mystery, then create it yourself, is there no so-called inheritance, and you will not cultivate!
The administrator of Tianyi Pavilion is Li Lao of the Li Shi family, how old he is, even Li Shi is not clear, but as far as Li Shi knows, fifteen or sixteen years ago, Li Lao was the caretaker in this Tianyi Pavilion, and his generation is so big that even if the patriarch Li De sees it, he must be called the clan elder.
"Boss, may I ask Tianyi Pavilion, can I get any new books!" Li Shi said respectfully.
"Xiao Shi...... Recently, a new book of "Creation Biography" has been included, if you are interested, you can take a look!"
When Li Shi heard this, he bowed to Li Laoban, and then went to the new bookshelf to look for it, and soon this "Creation Biography" was found by Li Shi, and he flipped through it casually, and saw a small oil poem at first sight: "The dragon and the phoenix dance unicorn celebrate, the soul wanders and the Kunpeng is light, and when the sky is horizontal, it will enter the fairy spirit in an instant." ”
"This biography of creation...... It's not so much a history book of mythology as a story of mythology, and if you go further, it seems that it can be used as chicken soup for the soul. Flipping through the book of history, Li Shi thought thoughtfully.
"Elder Li, I'll borrow this book and take a look!" Li Shi took this copy of "The Biography of Creation" and said to Elder Li. 、
Hearing Li Shi's words, Li Lao glanced at the "Creation Biography" and nodded, registered, and Li Shi also signed his name, that is, he lent this "Creation Biography", for these miscellaneous books, the Li family's management is not strict, even if it is dropped, as long as there are enough spirit crystals, it will be enough.
After borrowing the book, Li Shi didn't leave, it was peaceful and quiet here, even if it was night, there was plenty of light source, and he was concentrating on reading, and in a blink of an eye, it was an hour or two. It's not just about reading "The Legend of Creation", but occasionally reading other miscellaneous books, such as "Brief Digest of Strange Beasts", "Zhongzhou Dalu", "East China Sea Scenery" and so on.
It was not until the night was getting deeper that he said goodbye to Li Lao, left Tianyi Pavilion, and went back to his dormitory cabin.
Li Lao watched Li Shi leave step by step in silence, his deep eyes seemed to see through the whole world, and he didn't say much, just waved his hand, the candle flame was extinguished, and his body dissolved into the night little by little, as if it never existed.
Li Shi returned to the hut and saw Lu Yi sitting on the side with a puffy face, with a round face, a small mouth slightly curled, and when he saw Li Shi's arrival, he quickly stood up and said respectfully to Li Shi, "Young Master!"
"But what's going on, let's talk about it!" Li Shi said directly, "You can hang a kettle in your mouth!"
"It's all dirty villain's words, it's really uncomfortable to listen to!" Lu Yi said indignantly.
"Since you know that it is a filthy villain's words, why bother with it!" Li Shi smiled calmly and said.
"But...... But...... People just aren't angry!" Lu Yi looked at Li Shi and said, "Young Master, why are you so calm!"
"This time there is a big competition within the clan, if I win, if they talk like this again, Lu Yi, you will give them a slap in the face!" Li Shi said this, and said with a narrow smile, "Look at who dares to mumble to Lu Yi!"
"People aren't so domineering!" Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh when she heard Li Shi's words.
"Okay, let's go and prepare my bags for going to the mine tomorrow!" Li Shi said to Lu Yi.
"It's been ready for a long time!" Lu Yi said with a slight pause, "But young master, every time you finish drinking the cowhide sac, can you not forget to be in the mine, this is more than tenth, each of them costs 15 crystal miles!"
"Hehe, pay attention next time, pay attention next time!" Li Shi smiled and didn't say much, just said.
Seeing Li Shi admit his mistake, Lu Yi naturally couldn't say anything, after all, Li Shi was a young master after all, and Lu Yi was just a maid who took care of Li Shi, although Li Shi was kind to people, but she Lu Yi did not forget her duty. Seeing Li Shi's return, Lu Yi didn't stay long, and retreated after a while.
The next day, Li Shi went to the mine to mine again, after all, it was only the 5,000 crystal moon gifts given to him by the clan, and for himself, it was really useless. So even if Dabi in the clan was close, Li Shi did not break the trip to dig in the mine. And more importantly, for Li Shi, the mine itself is the best place to cultivate.
Time passed day by day, but Li Shi's daily itinerary did not change much, as if signing up was just Li Shi wanting to brush up on his presence. So at the beginning, Li Shi's registration was still full of discussions, but within a few days, the discussion about Li Shi disappeared cleanly, because at this time, the most discussed were naturally the Li family's several Tianjiao, Li Sheng, Li Fanghua and Li Nianbai, the three most outstanding children of the Li family, as for Li Shi, the shame of the Li family, who would talk about him at this time!
In the midst of the great anticipation of the Li clan, the big competition within the clan soon began.
First of all, the Li clan worships the heavens and worships the ancestors, and then the clan competition is held, in addition to the disciples of the descendants and side lines of the clan, some retainers or descendants of domestic slaves, if there are people who become favored envoys, they can also participate in the competition.
Once a year, for the family lineage, it is just an exercise, but for the side children and retainers and slaves, it is a rare opportunity to show their talents in the family, how can they let it go. Compared with the descendants of the lineage, the children of the side line and the retainers and slaves are much worse than the children of the lineage in terms of exercises and resources. It is precisely because of this that these people become the followers of a certain descendant son, and become the fundamentals of a certain descendant power
The rules of the big competition within the clan are very simple, using the method of fighting in pairs to catch and kill.
In the first round, the selected people were eliminated to thirty-two, sixty-four, or one hundred and twenty-eight, in short, just right for two or two to fight until one person was killed. In this process, the descendants enjoy byes in the first round. Li Shi, a disciple of the lineage, although he is not welcomed, but the rules are rules after all, Li Shi still enjoyed this round of byes, and entered the sixty-four **** competition safely.
"Young master, I have made mung bean lotus seed soup, you must win today!" Early in the morning, Lu Yi picked up a bowl of mung bean lotus seed soup that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Li Shi, encouraging Li Shi.
Compared with other people, only Lu Yi, who takes care of Li Shi's food and clothing, knows best that Li Shi's efforts over the years.
Li Shi took it, ate it in a big gulp, and then went to the ring of Dabi in the clan, and Li Shi's ring was sparse, and few people were watching, and it was normal to think about it, after all, Li Shi didn't have any reason to pay attention, no matter who it was, Li Shi was just a round of Li Yi.
Li Shi smiled, and unconsciously, he had already stepped into the ring, and the first time he summoned his spirit pet sting beast.
Maybe it's the unreasonable pride from the traverser, Li Shi never doubts his own potential, although he has become the so-called "waste material physique", but Li Shi never believes that he has no way forward, even if there is really no way out, Li Shi will use his own hands to open up his own path. Because as a traverser, he doesn't want to slaughter gods against the sky or anything, but he is definitely not unwilling to be ordinary.
Li Shi's opponent was a descendant of a retainer named Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan couldn't help but be happy when he saw Li Shi, although he had already known that Li Shi was his opponent before the game, but when he really saw Li Shi come to the stage to compete, Gao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shi's glorious deeds have long been sung in the family, in Gao Zhan's opinion, compared to others, he was completely picked up for nothing this round, how could he not be ecstatic. Of course, happy is happy, but the look on his face has to be pretended, and he said, "In Xia Gao Zhan, it is really lucky to be able to compete with Young Master Li on the same stage." These words, in Gao Zhan's opinion, are absolutely sincere, of course, in the eyes of other people, it is somewhat cheap and good.
"Li Shi!" After Li Shi finished speaking, he looked at the referee, and waited until the referee on the side said that the game had begun, and as soon as the words fell, Li Shi did not speak, but the stinging beast beside him had already turned into a black afterimage and rushed directly towards Gao Zhan!
"You, you, you, you ......" Gao Zhan didn't expect that Li Shi hadn't said anything yet, but the spirit pet pounced on his own, which was really unprepared, which made Gao Zhan not even a little mentally prepared!
Just when Gao Zhan was wasting time, the stinging beast slammed into Gao Zhan's chest, and the sound of broken bones sounded, even the referee couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard it, and Gao Zhan, who was hit like this, directly knocked out of the ring, but the referee no longer looked at it, but looked at Li Shi's sting beast, and said thoughtfully, "Spiritual contract!"
Compared with the spiritual skill contract to give orders must be passed, language or gestures, the spiritual contract is able to rely only on the mind between the owner and the pet, that is, to let the pet understand the meaning of the owner, in the actual combat command, naturally it is a lot of advantage, this advantage, even beyond ten years, or even dozens of people can cultivate the tacit understanding.
"If it's other spirit pets, other pet envoys, the spirit pet that can have the absolute spirit contract is definitely a treasure that cannot be exchanged, but the spirit contract fell on Li Shi, the waste person of the family, and the contract is just an ordinary stinging beast! "And he is still so ruthless to everyone in the family, it seems that his resentment against the family over the years is not small!"
Although Li Shi's behavior is not a foul, but before the opponent's pet has released the spirit pet, he did not hesitate to order a sneak attack, which shows that Li Shi is definitely not a person who abides by the rules, for this referee, such a person, even if it is not unpopular, but he will never like it much, because the bigger the family, the more he must abide by the rules.
"But I won. Li Shi looked at the referee and said calmly, this is not a question, but an affirmation.
Hearing Li Shi's bland but extremely arrogant words, the referee's face was obviously a lot more ugly, although the result was clear at a glance, but Li Shi's aggressive attitude was definitely not able to bring any good impression, and he didn't feel the slightest respect as a referee.
But in the final analysis, after all, it was Li Shi who won, and Li Shi naturally had the qualifications to be proud, even if the referee was unhappy with Li Shi's attitude, he couldn't change this fact, and then announced Li Shi's victory.
In the big competition within the clan, only three days have passed, and in these three short days, the vast majority of the original clan thought that Li Shi was a waste of a round of tours, but now that the three rounds of battles have been fought, Li Shi is like a dark horse, riding in the dust, and directly killed the top eight.
On the first day, there was still a suspicion of a sneak attack in the history of Gao Zhan, and in the next two battles, even if the opponent summoned a spirit pet, their spirit pet could not resist the attack of Li Shi's sting beast, regardless of strength or speed, Li Shi's opponents were all crushed.
Not to mention Li Shi's opponent, even the audience who were just strong onlookers on the side clearly saw the strength of Li Shi's stinging beast. Especially in the next two battles, Li Shi's stinging beast was just a simple collision, and the two of them, either spirit pets or pet envoys, could not resist the impact of the stinging beast and directly lost their combat effectiveness.
Li Shi counterattacked with the momentum of a dark horse and was able to hit the top eight, which was beyond the expectations of the Li clan, but in the face of the next opponent, everyone thought that Li Shi's path had reached the extreme, because Li Shi's next game journey could definitely be regarded as a journey of death, Li Nianbai in the quarterfinals, Li Fanghua in the semifinals, and Li Sheng in the finals.
Even if it's not them, they definitely meet a stronger existence than them, although the game hasn't started yet, almost no one will be optimistic about Li Shi winning the championship. Because in the final analysis, Li Shi only has one spirit pet, a stinging beast. And the other three have all reached the realm of pets, and they have two spirit pets, and they can be said to have taken advantage of them with two to one.
In the quarterfinals, Li Shi still came to Dabi's ring calmly, but compared to the coldness at the beginning, there were sporadic cheers for Li Shi under the ring at this time, which was a little comfort.
Of course, they may not be optimistic about Li Shi, but this intra-clan competition also has his own underground gambling game, so there are always some guys who like to upset, and when they see the momentum of Li Shi's impact, they have pressed a sum on Li Shi's body, and they want to be lively.
"Cousin Shi, you can kill all the way here, and everyone underestimates you!" Li Nianbai has a folding fan, a handsome face, and the appearance of a scholar is far more than that of a pet, perhaps because he has known Li Shi's bad deeds for a long time, almost the first time in the ring, he summoned a spirit pet, Qianteng Tree. A turquoise willow tree that looks like it has fallen countless rattans.
"But cousin, your path ends here!" Li Nianbai shook his long fan lightly and said to Li Shi with great confidence.
