Chapter 20: The Summer Treatise
(I wish you all a happy new year and another brilliant 2021!) )
There are two days left before the college is full of excitement about the summer theory, and today is the last day before the deadline for registration.
Disciples who have already signed up will be randomly assigned to four groups, A, B, C, D, and the list of groups will also be announced. However, the opponent was randomly drawn by the teacher on the spot, so the opponent could not be determined until the entrance.
For these disciples, how far they can go in Xia Lun does require luck. But if you want to stand to be the last, you need absolute strength.
Xia Lun is about the other party's Tao, but it is about his own cultivation.
After a tense and difficult half-day, the list was finally announced in the evening.
The students went to check it out, but more of them were disciples who had been admitted to the hospital for two to three years. Because for them, it's a big fight.
As for many disciples who are about to stand in the dojo, they choose to ignore them. First, knowing the opponent is useless, and secondly, if you see a name you don't want to see, it will only increase the pressure.
There are more than 200 people who have signed up for the summer discussion this year, which is not much different from previous years. But compared to the number of people, whether the students in the academy participated or not made everyone more concerned.
The first is a genius boy from Linjun, named Zhuo Le. The boy was first remembered because of his name, and his name was Zhuo Le, Happy Le. Others, on the other hand, like to call him Zhuo Le, the music of music.
As the name suggests, Zhuole people are cheerful and lively. Pian's appearance is also outstanding, and after the word of mouth of the female disciples, she has become a little famous.
However, what really made him famous in the academy was that it only took him one year to refine his qi and complete his Xuanzhao.
When ordinary disciples were still meditating and refining qi every day, or squatting in the library pavilion, he had already begun to draw qi and control things.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed made the dean also greatly admired, and he would definitely have the opportunity to step into the Great Dao in the future.
And the name of this son is also written on the list of Group B.
This is really desperate news for the teenagers in Group B.
In addition to Group B, Group A also has a name that has attracted everyone's attention. This name may be a few points heavier than Na Zhuole.
That is the talented girl recognized by the academy, Shen Yao.
If someone in Tianyu Courtyard didn't know Shen Yao, or hadn't heard the name Shen Yao, they would definitely be despised with white eyes.
There are many reasons to get to know her, but the most important ones are three. This girl in her early thirteenth year old is very temperamental, in the words of the disciples of the academy, she is a fairy descending to earth, and she is clear and jade.
That kind of innate temperament, of course, is not brought out by ordinary people.
Because her birth was unusual, she was the granddaughter of Shen Xiong, the old city lord of Xuanyu City, and she was also the daughter of Shen Zhan, the general of the Xuanwu Army in Zhenbei. Her mother is the seventh princess of the dynasty and the seventh sister of the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that half of the entire Tianyu City is her family.
However, he was born with such a perfect life experience, and Pian Pian was also talented, and the Dao Heart Test measured the ninefold purple light.
One year of Xuanzhao was complete, and half a year later, the refining of qi was complete, and the qi began to be controlled. It's really more popular than people, and people are more envious than people.
In addition to these two, there is another young man named Yu Nan.
This young man is also gifted, and he was born into a family of Xuanmen. There are several real people in the family, but the young man is low-key and quite mysterious. On weekdays, he only practiced wholeheartedly, and rarely interacted with people.
And the name of this teenager also appeared in Group C of the list.
The disciples were discussing, perhaps because they had expected that these three would participate in this year's summer discussion, which led to a lot of reductions in the number of applicants.
There are also people who talk about what it would be like if the three of them were in the same group.
As a result, some disciples speculated that the dean might have done something to separate the three of them.
However, there is no way to know this, and it doesn't matter to a truly powerful disciple. Because in addition to these three people, there are still many places to enter Tianze Academy.
Looking back at Ding, compared with the first three groups, the pressure is relatively small. There are no names that need special attention, but I heard that it seems that the Eightfold Red Light Dao has a lot of hearts, and it should not be underestimated.
After the announcement of the group list, the most discussed question is who is the most optimistic and who can win the crown of this summer discussion.
Because of the participation of those three, the natural result became confusing.
Most of the young men will undoubtedly vote for Shen Yao, not to mention the talent born, just by the turn of the watery spirit's eyes, many disciples with unstable Dao hearts will fall for it.
The girls undoubtedly want Zhuo Le to vote, and this stumbling boy is indeed worth this vote.
Of course, there are also many pragmatic people with solid Taoist hearts, who feel that people can't just look at appearances. Yu Nan has been concentrating on cultivation, without distractions, without those mundane things, he may cultivate higher at this time.
Of course, what the result will be will be found out in a few days.
The four groups of A, B, C, and D will start at the same time tomorrow in the four dojos of the college, east, west, north and south. In the end, each group will determine the three winners, and then the final battle will be done in the square where the hospital is admitted.
At that time, two teachers will be present at each ashram. While judging the winner or defeat, prevent accidents from happening.
Lin Jian was only focused on refining qi, and he didn't have much interest in Xia Yan originally, and besides, he was more than a head taller than the teenagers, standing in the pile of disciples as if he stood out from the crowd.
Lin Jian felt very embarrassed when he thought of this kind of scene that stood out from the crowd.
But as there were more and more voices of discussion, and I heard that there were three talented teenagers who were going to participate, I also raised my interest. He also wanted to witness the demeanor of the young men in Lanzhou.
……
……
Early the next morning, the disciples of the entire academy were summoned to the dojo in front of the mountain gate.
Lin Jian was still silently watching from the sidelines and did not join the queue.
At this time, he was outside the crowd and saw it more clearly.
The teenagers in the square were neatly lined up, and the cyan uniforms made the teenagers look extraordinarily energetic.
Lin Jian was fascinated by the battle on the side, and was also surprised by the battle in the square.
It was the first time he had seen such a sight outside, and he suddenly thought of what he had thought when he stood in the crowd a few years ago, when he was also looking like these teenagers in front of him.
He tried hard to recall those scenes, and recalled what kind of opponent he faced when he participated in Xia Lun. And then he never remembered, he forgot what his opponent looked like. After a while, it dawned on him that he hadn't signed up for the summer theory...
……
……
Directly in front of the square, Dean Huayang Zhenren simply said a few words to the teenagers, and then another teacher recited the rules of Xia Lun.
After the matter was explained, the disciples who participated in the Xia Lun went to the four dojos in the east, west, north and south. In order, Group A is in the east, Group B is in the south, Group C is in the west, and Group D is in the north.
In each ashram, the participating disciples circled around the ashram, while the other disciples were on the periphery of the ashram.
With the distant sound of the academy's bell, Xia Lun officially kicked off.
Lin Jian was more curious about the cultivation of the disciple of the family named Yu Nan, so he went straight to the dojo in the west.
When Lin Jian came to the dojo, Group C had already surrounded many disciples.
Then I saw a teacher, pointing to the wooden box next to him, and then two bamboo slips flew out of the box and hung on top of another wooden box next to him.
The old man looked at the bamboo slip and pronounced the name, and then the two teenagers jumped to the middle, keeping a distance of about two feet.
After the two teenagers settled down, they bowed to each other.
After the salute, the young man on the left took two steps back, and began to write something with his right hand on his chest with two fingers. Following the young man's fingers, he could clearly see the aura of heaven and earth driven by his fingertips.
Although the young man's speed was not fast, the fluctuations of his fingertips were clear, and it was obvious that the young man had been practicing the talisman for a long time.
And the young man on the right, seeing that the other party had already made a move, also pointed his fingers. A wooden sword flew out from the boy's back and stood in front of the boy's eyes. When the flying sword appeared, the young man swept his right hand again, and the flying sword spun at high speed, and then transformed into three.
At this time, the boy on the left, as the last stroke was completed, a word loomed in front of the young man. Looking closely, I found that it was a word "ding", and the boy wrote a fixing charm.
With the young man shouting, "Definitely! The boy put his fingers on the talisman a little, and then the fluctuation rushed towards the boy opposite. The speed of this fluctuation is not very fast, but if you are not careful, you will definitely be caught in it.
The young man on the right, seeing the talisman flying, held the wooden sword and forcibly took over the fluctuation. But the strange thing is that at present, only one of the three is currently seen.
Although the boy used the wooden sword to block the advance of this fluctuation, this fluctuation did not stop, and he was still moving towards the boy in a small way, and the wooden sword of the young man on the right was also bent a little by the pressure brought by the fluctuation.
The young man on the left saw the other party parrying at this time. Fingers erected again, eyes closed, lips slightly quivering.
The disciple standing outside the arena saw the young man's movements and shouted, "Does he want to lead the thunder?" ”
Lin Jian heard the shout, looked at it carefully, and thought back to the old heavenly master, it was indeed this action, and this young man was indeed leading thunder,
I saw that several beads of sweat the size of soybeans had grown on the young man's forehead, and it was obvious that the lightning was a bit far-fetched for him, but the young man continued to keep moving.
At this time, several black clouds had gathered in the sky.
The young man on the right also saw the other party's intentions and was a little surprised, but he didn't stop there.
The young man let go of the wooden sword, and the wooden sword was immediately pressed back a few inches, and the young man hurriedly pressed the hilt of the sword with his left hand in the air, and pointed back with both fingers in his right hand. A flying sword suddenly flew out of nowhere, and then shot straight at the boy on the left.
The flying sword was extremely fast and had a clear purpose, and flew straight towards the boy on the left.
The boy on the left seemed to sense the flying sword, so he opened his eyes and changed his gestures.
The boy changed his fingers, and as the gesture changed, there was another wave in front of the boy, blocking the boy's face.
This fluctuation was like a barrier, blocking the attack of the flying sword.
Lin Jian was fascinated, he still remembered the time when the Heavenly Master helped him block the flying sword, but the barrier of the Heavenly Master was much thicker than that of the young man.
The two teenagers were in a stalemate, one left and one right, and the true qi in the mansions of both sides was also violently consumed.
However, just when everyone thought that the two teenagers would be tied because their true qi was exhausted.
A flying sword flew out from behind the young man on the right again, and the flying sword circled around the field and stabbed the young man on the left in the back.
Just as the flying sword was a few inches above the boy's head, the teacher standing on the sidelines made a move.
I saw the old man point with two fingers, and the flying sword suddenly disappeared out of thin air. The talisman disappeared immediately, and the young man's wooden sword fell to the ground, and the old man immediately announced the result.
"Liu Hao, control the three swords with one heart, the sword hides the void, win!"
As the old man finished announcing the results, the two teenagers also fell to the ground one after another because their true qi was exhausted, and they were carried down by everyone.
Then the sidelines also remembered the chatter.
"If that thunder falls, it may be able to win."
"The qi induction is not yet complete, how to attract the thunder? It's just a bluff! ”
Lin Jian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as he listened to the discussion of the teenagers. I thought to myself, if I stood on the stage by myself, I was afraid that I would have lost ugly.
Just as the disciples were talking, the old man shouted his name again.
"Yu Nan vs. Ke Lei!"
