Chapter 20: The Eve of the Competition
The next day, when the sun was shining on the earth again, the outer courtyard of Tung Wah College seemed to be much more lively than usual.
"Hehe, how do you feel that today's outer courtyard is much more lively than before. Li Yun, who had just returned from the cafeteria, said.
Next to him, Wan Ying, who was following along, listened, and glanced at Li Yun and said, "Are you really stupid or fake stupid, tomorrow is the official start of the Inner Court Qualifying Tournament, can these students not be lively?"
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, there aren't many people who can qualify and have the strength to compete in this game, so why did it become so lively. Li Yun asked.
"That's right, there are indeed not many students who have the strength to compete, but, don't forget, human beings still have a curious heart, so, not surprisingly, all the students in the outer courtyard are guessing that those people can win in the end, so as to qualify for the inner courtyard. Wan Ying said lightly. "Hehe, that's what I'm saying, I don't know what the qualifying tournament of the inner courtyard is like this year, it is said that there is a group battle in the last inner court qualifying tournament, and I don't know if it will continue to be used this time, when the time comes, I will team up with you. Li Yun said with a smile.
"Cut, whoever teams up with you, I'm the number one occupant of the East List. Wan Ying smiled.
"Eh, the number one in the East List, when did it happen?" Li Yun said in surprise.
"Hehe, it's been during the time you've been away, but I feel like you're back this time, and it seems that your strength has increased greatly?" Wan Ying glanced at Li Yun and said.
"Ahem, luck, the foundation may not be very stable, all, and you have no comparison. Li Yun said helplessly. In the past, Li Yun may not have clearly known Wan Ying's strength, but now, Li Yun can clearly feel that he is a seventh-level Qi King. In just a few days, Wan Ying has improved from the strength of the peak of Qi Ling when she first came, to such a terrifying strength now. You must know that Li Yun can only improve so quickly because of adventures, but Wan Ying has cultivated by himself. Thinking of this, Li Yun couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart.
"Hehe, what's the matter, depressed? I'm different from you, the Qi Sect may have cultivated quickly before, but the further you go, the slower the difficulty of cultivation, compared to you, I don't know if this is an advantage or a disadvantage. Wan Ying also smiled.
"Because of the bloodline?" Li Yun said with a frown. He clearly remembered that Wan Ying had said this question before.
"How to say it, our family is a little special, you will know later. After a deep groan, Wan Ying said slowly.
"Well, I'll talk about that later. Li Yun listened, and said helplessly.
Seeing Li Yun's appearance, Wan Ying also pursed her lips and smiled, and then said, "By the way, what about Huo'er? Why didn't you see her?"
"She, ah, was dragged away by the guy of the Thunder Soul, saying that there are some very important things to tell Huo'er, and she has disappeared early in the morning. Li Yun said.
"Is the soul of thunder also one of the souls of the five elements?" said Wan Ying, frowning.
"Well, what's wrong?" asked Li Yun.
"When I saw him yesterday, I felt that his breath was a little wrong, it turned out to be the soul of the five elements, his identity must be kept secret, otherwise, if some people know, you will be in trouble. Wan Ying said.
"Well, I know this, I'll go to the Sword God Elder and ask him if he has the elixir, block the breath of the Thunder Soul, and become like a fire. Li Yun said.
"That's good. Brother Yun, the matter of the soul of the five elements and the matter of the body of the five elements, you have to keep it a secret. Wan Ying still advised.
"Hey, got it. Li Yun smiled with snow-white teeth.
"Silly hat. Wan Ying said with a blank look.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" said Huo'er with a frown.
"Well, Huo'er, don't you really remember?" asked Thunder Soul, who also didn't look very good.
"Do you remember what you mean?" said Huo'er impatiently.
"Then do you remember the other Five Elements Souls?" the Thunder Soul asked again.
Huo'er listened, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that my brother is very good to me." ”
"Well, maybe you were born too late, and the memories you have gained are not complete. Hearing this, the Thunder Soul smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean, did we know each other before?" asked Huo'er.
"How can I say it, a long, long time ago, there was no such thing as the five elements at that time, and all cultivation was a very single energy, and it wasn't until later that a certain great god divided this seemingly single energy into five elements, of course, there are not only five elements and five energy attributes, but also other attributes. After dividing the five elements, slowly the energy in this world, which is divided into a series of energies such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc., slowly gave birth to Lingzhi, which is the so-called soul of the five elements, after an unknown number of years of precipitation. And 10,000 years ago, like your brother, he was also the owner of the body of the five elements, and he found all the six souls of the five elements, such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as my thunder soul, and achieved the emperor of the five elements. Of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that in the process of his search for the soul of the five elements, the soul of fire, the soul of water, etc., slowly got acquainted, and in the end, the six of us slowly became a family, hehe, a family. Just like humans. Saying this, the eyes of the Thunder Soul couldn't help but reveal a warm color.
"And then?" Huo'er listened, then asked again.
"Hehe, 10,000 years ago, the Emperor of the Five Elements fell, and we, the souls of the Five Elements, were all scattered, some returned to the land and fell silent, and some were reborn again, just like you. And some have become guardian-like things in certain races, such as me. To be honest, if it weren't for your brother Li Yun, I'm afraid I would have stayed in the Thunder Pool of the Thunder Eagle Clan for the rest of my life. Thunder Soul said.
"Well, what do you say this for?" asked Huo'er again. To be honest, after listening to so much, Huo'er also understands a lot of things, at least he is already clear about his identity or something, but why the soul of thunder wants to tell him these things, Huo'er himself is not very clear, is it because of the feelings of 10,000 years ago?
"I ......" Thunder Soul also didn't know what to say. "yes, why do you want to tell Huo'er these things?"
"Well, no matter what, I thank you too. Seeing the appearance of the Thunder Soul, Huo'er also smiled and said.
"Yes. I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong, maybe it's been too long since I've seen the other Five Elements Souls. Thunder Soul smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, although I don't know what you mean, but there is one thing, brother, he will continue to retrieve other Five Elements Souls in the future, this may be what you want. Huo'er paused and said.
"Oh, maybe. However, thank you again, let's go back now, it's been so long, your brother and they should be in a hurry. Thunder Soul said.
"Hehe, it's not okay to be in a hurry, you and I have the strength to go sideways in the outer courtyard of this Donghua College, not to mention walking sideways, at least self-protection is no problem. Still, I also felt it was time to go back. Huo'er said mischievously.
"Yes. Let's go. The Thunder Soul also nodded and said. Immediately, the two of them left the place.
"That kind of elixir?hehe, you are asking for the soul body that came back with you this time. "The forbidden land of Donghua Academy, where the Daoist in the clouds lived, heard Li Yun begging for the pill, and the Daoist in the clouds said.
"Well, he is the soul of thunder among the souls of the five elements. Li Yun said.
"Oh, hehe, but I didn't see it. However, since it is the soul of thunder in the soul of the five elements, this elixir will naturally help you ask for it. Come and get it from me tomorrow. After a pause, the Daoist in the clouds said.
"Okay, Grandpa Sword. I'll go first, this time I heard that there are a lot of dark horses in the inner court qualifiers. Li Yun said with a smile.
"Well, go ahead. The Daoist in the cloud waved his hand and said.
Li Yun listened, nodded and left here.
Looking at the back of Li Yun leaving, the Daoist in the clouds couldn't help but murmur: "Dark horse, hehe, except for the girl of that family, that black horse dares to compare with you." ”
"Are you sure it's the soul of thunder?" At this time, a question suddenly came.
Hearing this, the Daoist in the clouds retracted his thoughts, recalled the feeling of being with the soul of thunder, nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, that feeling of rage should be the soul of thunder." Hehe, I didn't expect that Li Yun, a kid, had already obtained two souls of the Five Elements in such a short period of time, he was really lucky. ”
"Hehe, luck is also part of strength. As for the elixir that can cover up the breath, I will personally go to the inner courtyard to get it, and by the way, I will also see how the old guy's newly accepted apprentice is? After so many years, the old guy is finally missing a heart. ”
"Oh, you're talking about that old guy of Heijun, right? Why, he finally accepted his apprentice?" For the Black Monarch, he is very clear, a terrifying cultivation, even if it is himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to last a few rounds in his hands, the most important thing is that the Black Monarch is a dark attribute, in this characteristic, it can be said that the Black Monarch's terrifying cultivation is even higher.
"Well, I decided more than ten days ago, if I remember correctly, it was a freshman named Tan Pengcheng, and according to the news from the inner courtyard, this Tan Pengcheng is still a dark body that has not been seen for thousands of years. The man said.
"The Body of Darkness, hehe, it's good, but it's flawed. The Daoist in the clouds sighed.
"Hey, there will always be a little flaw, leave this matter to that old monster, his own apprentice, naturally he will find a way. ”
"Hehe, too. The Daoist in the clouds also smiled when he heard this.
And when the Daoist in the clouds laughs. In the inner courtyard of Donghua College, in a stone cave, a man was listening intently to the voice of an old man in the cave.
"Alright, that's all for today. The old man suddenly stopped and said.
"Well, then I'll go down first. The man said.
"Don't worry, hehe, I see that you have been a little unfocused recently, why do you have something on your mind?" the old man waved his hand, motioned for the man to sit down, and then said.
"Well, tomorrow is the inner court qualifier, I know he will participate, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to participate, and I can't watch it. After a while, the man said.
"Hehe, do you want to participate?" the old man laughed instead of getting angry.
"Well, I want to participate, I want to pass the inner court qualifiers, and I want to enter the inner court. The man said.
"Haha, I have backbone, I like it, you can rest assured, I'll help you with the competition, you just have to go to the competition tomorrow, okay, you go, if you don't pass the inner court qualifiers, don't come to see me." The old man said to the man like a fly.
The man listened, smiled and said, "I will definitely come back." With that, the man quickly left the cave.
Under the illumination of the sun, the man who felt the heat of the sun again, after leaving the hole, couldn't help but think of the man in his mind, smiled, opened his right hand, and a black energy ball appeared in his hand, looking at the dark energy ball, the man couldn't help but murmur: "I don't know how much your cultivation has improved now?" Inner Court Qualifier, hehe, it will definitely surprise you when the time comes." ”
After speaking, the man withdrew the energy ball in his hand, and his figure disappeared at the door of the stone cave as soon as he moved......
And after the man disappeared, in the stone cave, the figure of the old man slowly appeared there. looked at the man's disappearing back, smiled, and muttered: "This kid, the first time I walked through the back door, it was for you, hey......" After speaking, the figure disappeared in place as soon as he moved......
