Chapter Eighty-Five: The Inner Courtyard Examination Begins!
The flame giant's punch hit Jing Tang's left shoulder hard, and the punch that was enough to regret the mountain cracking the rocks made Hu Mei on the side involuntarily close her eyes.
Boom!
A loud noise came, and Hu Mei only felt that at this moment, the temperature rose sharply, and then gradually returned to normal.
Hu Mei cautiously opened her eyes, but was completely shocked by the scene in front of her: at this time, Jing Tang was standing motionless in the middle of the two flame giants, and actually took the initiative to withstand the attack. However, every time the flame giant hit Jing Tang, it would be torn apart by Jing Tang's backshock. And the flames that remained after those flame giants dissipated were sucked into Jing Tang's body, and at the same time, Jing Tang's aura also began to grow slowly.
Zizizi......
The turquoise flames enveloped Jing Tang's body, constantly hardening the flame giant. Being able to shake back the Flame Giants and absorb their flames for their own use is unheard of. If Hu Mei hadn't seen it with her own eyes, I'm afraid she wouldn't have believed it.
After looking around to make sure that there was no one, Hu Mei also began to cultivate. It's just that compared to Jing Tang's domineering cultivation, Hu Mei chose to use the fire control technique of the nine-tailed fox clan to cultivate.
After finding a remote corner, Hu Mei turned into her original form.
It is a three-meter-long fox with two tails and a snow-white body. The four tenacious claws gripped the ground fiercely, and a pair of eyes full of spirituality winked at the surrounding flame giants, attracting hatred and making the flame giants run towards him.
In order not to frighten Jing Tang, Hu Mei stuck herself on a corner wall, and then opened her big mouth and emitted a strong suction, quickly sucking the flame giants into her three zhang range. Then, a surprising scene appeared: when these flame giants just arrived at Hu Mei's side, they completely collapsed, all turned into a ball of flames, and Hu Mei directly sucked them into her stomach.
This domineering absorption method quickly caused the flame giants in the volcanic magma to rapidly decrease. At first, Jing Tang was still satisfied with his cultivation mode, but soon found that the Flame Giants seemed to have been summoned by something, and quickly moved towards the other side, and their number was rapidly decreasing.
Puzzled, Jing Tang looked in the direction where the flame giant was running, and saw a snow-white fox sticking to the wall, its twin tails swaying gently behind it. A large mouth opened, constantly turning the flame giant into a ball of flame and sucking it into his stomach.
"It's ......"
Looking at the fox in front of him, feeling the aura emanating from this fox, Jing Tang immediately confirmed its identity.
"Mei'er, it's... Is that you?"
Looking at the two-tailed fox in front of him, Jing Tang was also a little shocked. After all, Jing Tang had never seen a spiritual Warcraft, and it was also the existence of a top-notch Warcraft Overlord.
Hu Mei, who was heartily absorbing the flames, suddenly saw Jing Tang's appearance, so her breath weakened rapidly, and she soon turned into a human form and stood in front of Jing Tang.
At this moment, Hu Mei is as beautiful and sexy as ever. It's just that after seeing the original form, Jing Tang was a little overwhelmed.
"Cousin. Hu Mei stepped forward like a child who had done something wrong and whispered back.
Looking at Hu Mei in front of him, Jing Tang suddenly remembered the injured little fox when he was a child. In front of a tiger, if he hadn't rescued the little fox by himself, I'm afraid that the little fox would have returned to the west long ago. Now, this little fox has become so big, and she has also saved the lives of her own people.
The past kept emerging from the depths of Jing Tang's mind, but Jing Tang didn't know now whether his feelings for Hu Mei were right or wrong?
Boom!
Suddenly, a strong shock wave erupted from the depths of the volcanic magma, and the volcanic magma underground erupted, and countless flames formed one flame giant after another. And the moment the flame giant appeared, it was coming towards the two of them quickly.
Bang bang bang!
Without having time to say more, Jing Tang summoned the Seven Killing Flames out again and quickly headed towards the gathering place of the Flame Giants. And Hu Mei glanced at Jing Tang affectionately, and then turned into her original form again and began to absorb the energy of the flame giant.
One person and one fox began to cultivate in the volcanic pulp in this way, and the effect of the cultivation of the two was also extremely good, not only did their own strength increase greatly, but even the fire poison did not cause the slightest damage to the two of them. It's just that the volcanic slurry and the cold ice spring are complementary cultivation methods, so the two of them began to constantly go back and forth between the two to cultivate. As for the hot springs, they were basically ignored by the two.
Just when Jing Tang and Hu Mei were cultivating hard, Xu Cheng's injuries were completely healed. With less than half a year left, Xu Cheng came to the Cold Ice Spring again to cultivate, and happened to meet Jing Tang and Hu Mei entering the Cold Ice Spring together. But because of this time, Xu Cheng was completely impressed by the two. Because the current Jing Tang and Hu Mei, in the cold ice spring, can withstand the cold and biting temperature and impact just by relying on their physical strength. The most outrageous thing is that Jing Tang once chose to dive to the bottom of the Cold Ice Spring to accept the impact because the Ice Fountain was not stimulating him enough!
In desperation, Xu Cheng had no choice but to close his eyes, simply ignore it, and after cultivating for a period of time, he left the Cold Ice Spring and went to the hot spring.
But when Xu Cheng went to the hot springs, he found that Jing Tang and Hu Mei seemed to ignore the existence of the hot springs at all, just going back and forth between the two extremes of cold and heat. This can make Xu Cheng doubly shocked, and he didn't even go to the volcanic magma, so he left directly.
When Elder Qiu Ze heard about it, he was shocked at first. But when I thought of the secret of the two of them, I didn't say anything more. just left Xu Cheng here and patiently helped him cultivate.
Half a year passed day by day. The day of the assessment of the disciples in the inner courtyard is also coming under the hope and helplessness of everyone.
In the middle of the mountain gate, Xu Cheng, Jing Tang, and Hu Mei were standing in a row, listening to Elder Qiu Ze's lecture. Over the years, in every assessment, Shanmen was the last student of the Heavenly Academy. This made Elder Qiu Ze's face very unsightly. But this year is different, in addition to Xu Cheng, Jing Tang and Hu Mei are also extremely good disciples, and it is still very promising to write a new history for Shanmen.
"Starting early tomorrow morning, the Inner Courtyard Cadet Assessment will be held at the same time in the ten martial arts arenas in the Inner Courtyard. The students of the Human Academy, the Earth Academy, and the Heavenly Academy all have competitions. However, this year's rules are different from previous years, as a challenge has been added. Of course, as the difficulty increases, so do the rewards. Elder Qiu Ze's voice was like a bell, clearly echoing in the ears of the three of them.
When Jing Tang heard this, he suddenly felt a feeling of blood boiling in his body, and said, "Master, what is the challenge?"
"The qualification for the challenge is only available to the ten students who stand out in the human academy and the underground courtyard. They can skip the challenge, automatically upgrade if they win, automatically downgrade if they lose, and lose nothing. It is also possible to challenge at the same level. Of course, this is a matter of the human courtyard and the underground courtyard. And our mountain gate, this time we must not be like last time, become the first to the bottom, and be eliminated by others!" Elder Qiu Ze's tone became lower and lower when he said this.
In fact, there is no need for Elder Qiu Ze to say it, the three of them also understand it in their hearts. In the knockout competition every year, Shanmen is the last place, and the worst strength is automatically reduced to the students of the underground courtyard. And the challenge competition of those outstanding Human Academy and Earth Academy students will only start after the Heavenly Academy disciples eliminate the last place. Therefore, no matter how hard they try, there seems to be little hope.
In the previous record, Shanmen has always been at the bottom. This time, no matter what, it can't be used as a laughing stock anymore!
"Master, don't worry, we will do our best!" Xu Cheng clasped his hands into fists and nodded vigorously, his face full of confidence.
"Master, don't worry, we will do our best!" Jing Tang and Hu Mei on the side also nodded vigorously, full of confidence.
Seeing that his three disciples were so confident, and thinking of the eight months of hard cultivation, Elder Qiu Ze also smiled, and went back to rest.
The next morning, when the first light in the sky had just hit the earth, the inner courtyard of the Martial Arts Academy was boiling!
Because today is the assessment day for the disciples of the inner court!
Whether it is a new student or an old student who wants to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the position, they are all looking forward to the arrival of this assessment! Whether they can become famous in one battle after their usual hard cultivation depends on today!
Under the ten jousting platforms in the inner courtyard, two elders and mentors each stood aside to maintain order. Compared to the noisy human courtyard and the earthly courtyard, the heavenly courtyard is unusually quiet. However, everyone knows that although the Heavenly Academy is calm on the surface, its heart is already surging! Because the competition between the students of the Heavenly Academy is the most exciting! And the candidates who can become the core disciples will also be born from the students of the Heavenly Academy!
"Ahem......"
When a gentle cough appeared, Great Elder Shi Tong also appeared in front of everyone. The original loud voice disappeared in an instant. Everyone's eyes were focused on Elder Shi Tong at this moment.
"This time the competition is still two days. The old rule is to draw lots to determine the order of the game and the opponents. However, this time, the top five students of the Human Academy and the Earth Academy can challenge any Heavenly Academy student. If the challenge is successful, it is automatically upgraded. The last student of the Heavenly Academy will be directly a student of the Earth Academy, of course, this relegated student will not be allowed to accept the challenge. Alright, let's start the game. ”
Grand Elder Shi Tong looked at the many excited students below, and with a wave of his hand, three crystal balls appeared in the hands of the elders and mentors of the three courtyards of Human, Earth, and Heaven.
"Put your hand on the crystal ball and it will automatically generate numbers of different colors. Find another number of the same color as yourself, and that is your opponent. Elder Qiu Ze took the crystal ball and said to Jing Tang and Hu Mei, who were participating in the competition for the first time.
The two put their hands on them in turn, and saw two colors, one blue and one yellow, appear in their palms.
"Blue No. 5. ”
"Yellow No. 2. ”
Jing Tang and Hu Mei stretched out their palms at the same time, looked at the number in front of them, and smiled at each other.
"Ahh
But before the two could speak, a scream had already come from the direction of the underground courtyard, and the first competition had ended!
