Chapter 060: Magma Cave (Part I)
In Wansheng Academy, Yu Hao is still cultivating day after day, and since he advanced to the Great Sword Master, Yu Hao has begun to practice the Ice Moon Sword Technique.
The Ice Moon Knife Technique is bleak and cold, which is completely different from the general feeling of coldness. There is a bleak feeling hidden in the knife technique, if it is used in actual combat, those who are not in a high state of mind are easily affected by the artistic conception of the knife technique.
"That's it!" Yu Hao put away the Weeping Blood Battle Knife, stopped cultivating, and saw that it was already evening, so Yu Hao planned to go back.
Since Mu Yan disappeared, the atmosphere in the compound has always been very strange, and Liu Han, who was not very interested in cultivation before, has now stepped up his cultivation.
"It's been four years!" Yu Hao sighed.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, Yu Hao has been in the academy for four years, in these short four years, Yu Hao has experienced a lot, whether it is emotional, or cultivated, all of which have improved Yu Hao's state of mind. The current Yu Hao is no longer the ignorant boy who just left Night Moon City.
"Yu Hao, the academy held a competition called the top of Wansheng Academy, do you want to participate?" Chen Feng saw Yu Hao return to the compound, so he said to Yu Hao.
"The top of Wansheng Academy, I don't have any interest in this kind of competition!" Yu Hao said lightly, there is no point in the academy holding this kind of competition. However, there are many students who participate, not just to show themselves and prove their strength.
"If you know the reward for winning, I guess you will be interested!" Yu Hao said to Yu Hao's back when he was walking towards his door.
"Oh, what reward?" Yu Hao listened to Chen Feng's words, as if Chen Feng was very interested in this competition, so that Chen Feng thought that it was a valuable reward, Yu Hao was interested in hearing it.
"Only if you get the top three will you have this reward!" Chen Feng said to Yu Hao, "The third runner-up of the competition has the full strength to enter and leave the academy at will for two years, the runner-up has the right to enter and exit the academy at will for five years, and the champion has the right to enter and exit the academy at will for ten years!"
"Is there really such a reward?" Yu Hao heard Chen Feng's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Don't look at this reward as just a free access to the academy, but for many people, it is an extremely tempting reward. On the contrary, those money and the like are not attractive to Yu Hao and even many people.
A strong person must go through training to be able to truly grow, especially for the many students at the level of the Great Sword Master. It is possible to find an opportunity for a breakthrough in the grinding.
But in the academy, such opportunities are rare, and occasionally two students compete with each other, it is not a life-and-death fight, although the effect is there, but it is very small. Although every five years the academy has the opportunity to go out for trials, each time there is a three-month period, and the fifteen-year period is only nine months.
Nine months of trials is not enough for many people, so how tempting the reward is to have access to the academy.
In fact, the academy has held many similar competitions before, and the final rewards are all for this kind of qualification to enter and exit the academy, some are less than one year, and more are awarded two years, and no more than five years. However, this championship reward is ten years long, which can almost be said to be a permanent qualification to enter and exit the academy, so there must be a lot of people participating in the competition.
"Can anyone participate in this competition at the top of Wansheng Academy?" Yu Hao was really interested, looked at Chen Feng and asked.
"Of course not, first of all, the strength must reach the level of the Great Sword Master, which you and I both meet. Secondly, the preliminaries will be held first, the time of the preliminaries is three months, and eighty students will be determined within three months, and then one hundred students will be divided into four groups, and the top four in each group will be determined, and the last four groups will have a total of sixteen people to compete in the finals!" Chen Feng explained to Yu Hao.
"What a cumbersome game!" Yu Hao heard Chen Feng's explanation, and frowned, this game is so cumbersome, if it is really held, it is estimated that it will take half a year.
"It's a bit cumbersome, but if you really win the final championship, then the reward should be really good! Do you need me to register you?" Chen Feng looked at Yu Hao and said, looking at Chen Feng's appearance, it seemed that he was eager to get the last reward.
This time, it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of students participating in the competition at the top of Wansheng Academy, and the proportion of the academy with the strength of the Great Sword Master in the entire academy is the largest, with thousands of records, except for those who are not confident in their own strength, but everyone who has a little strength wants to fight for the end.
"Help me sign up for a name!" Yu Hao said casually, although Yu Hao's strength is only at the elementary level of the Great Sword Master, but in terms of strength, Yu Hao is confident that he can easily enter the top eighty.
"Well, the preliminaries will start next month, and I'll let you know when the time comes!" Chen Feng said to Yu Hao's back as he returned to the room.
Yu Hao returned to the room, sat on the bed, and closed his eyes in meditation. In his heart, his thoughts are flying, there is still a month, since the last time he came down from the Heavenly Beast Mountain Range, his cultivation has improved very slowly, although he has made some achievements in combat skill cultivation, but his actual combat is unknown.
"Teacher, teacher!" Yu Hao called out to Yan Lao in his heart. With Yu Hao's advancement to the Great Knife Master, Yan Lao has very little teaching to Yu Hao, according to Yan Lao, Yan Lao can help very little, he is just a soul, all he can provide is theory, and it really depends on Yu Hao himself.
"What's the matter?, is there a problem?" Yan Lao's voice sounded in Yu Hao's heart at the same time, an illusory figure appeared in front of Yu Hao, and at this time Yu Hao also opened his eyes.
"Teacher, I'd love to get that free entry and exit to the academy. But with my current strength, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" Yu Hao truthfully explained to Yan Lao.
Not to mention Yu Hao, even Feng Chen, who is known as the first genius of the academy, is not completely sure that he can win the final championship. The so-called genius is just a statement among peers, Yu Hao is now nineteen years old, and Yu Hao can be said to belong to one and two in the nineteen-year-old group.
But among the students who participated in this competition this time, many of them have been in the academy for ten years, which is even longer, and there are many people whose strength is above Yu Hao.
"Your current cultivation time only adds up to four or five years, and everyone has been cultivating for more than ten years, why should you compare yourself with others? Even if the old man teaches you the fire attribute earth-level combat technique now, you may not be able to defeat those who have cultivated for ten years longer than you. Avoid being impatient on the way to cultivation, stabilize your heart, do a good job in cultivation at this stage, and reach the strength of the Great Sword Master as soon as possible!"
Yan Lao's words were unhurried, but listening to the meaning of his words, he didn't mean to help Yu Hao at all, but let Yu Hao give up this competition.
Yu Hao thought about it carefully, what Yan Lao said was not unreasonable. His ** is already lower than others, and he can't become anxious because he has a little strength now, he should calm down and play steadily, slowly and steadily, and accumulate steadily.
"Teacher, Yu Hao understands, tomorrow I will explain the situation to Chen Feng, and I won't participate in this competition!" Yu Hao said to Yan Lao.
"That's right, in the next year, you have to increase the intensity of training, twelve or thirteen hours of training a day is too little, increase to eighteen hours a day!" Yan Lao said to Yu Hao.
Before any strong person becomes a strong person, in addition to his talent, he does not pay more than disdainful effort. It takes twice as much effort as everyone else to do it.
The next day, as soon as Yu Tian was at dawn, he found Chenfeng and Chenfeng to explain the situation. Fortunately, Chenfeng has not yet signed up for Yu Hao. Chen Feng was very puzzled when he heard Yu Hao say that he suddenly didn't go to the competition, but Yu Hao only told Chen Feng that he didn't have the ability to get the top three, and even if he won the fourth, it didn't make any sense, so he simply didn't go.
Regarding what Yu Hao said, Chen Feng also knew. In fact, Chen Feng also understood in his heart that not only Yu Hao, but even Chen Feng did not dare to expect the top three.
But Tatsukaze's personality is that kind of belligerent personality, and being able to participate in such competitions and fight against all kinds of opponents is what makes Tatsukaze even more excited, and this is another reason why Tatsukaze participates in competitions even more.
After explaining the situation to Chenfeng, Yu Hao went to the back mountain again to cultivate, this back mountain is already very familiar to Yu Hao, but so far this small back mountain, Yu Hao has never traveled all over.
"Boss, do you want to walk all over this back mountain?" Shen Shen seemed to know what Yu Hao was thinking in his heart, and said to Yu Hao's soul.
"I'm just thinking about it, but I don't have this kind of idle work!" Yu Hao shook his head and spread his hands and said casually.
"I'm familiar with this back mountain, you can't go to other places, but there is a place where you have to go with me, it's a good place!" Shen Shen said to Yu Hao.
In the past few years, when Yu Hao was cultivating or refining knives in the back mountains, Shen Shen rarely stayed quietly by Yu Hao's side. In most cases, Shen Shen is messed around in this back mountain, and Yu Hao never asks where Shen Shen went, just when Shen Shen is fun.
"What place makes you feel like I have to go?" Yu Hao said with a puzzled face.
"Hehe, boss, you'll know if you go with me!" Shen Shen pretended to be mysterious, and said with a snicker, as if he didn't intend to tell Yu Hao's thoughts first.
Hearing Shen Shen say that, Yu Hao felt helpless for a while, but if you think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing to take a look, anyway, it won't take much time, maybe it can really bring some surprises.
