Chapter 211: Dan Xiu's private fight
Zhongdu Academy does not prohibit private duels between disciples, but there are different dueling restrictions for different types of disciples. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Among them, the least restrictive is probably the battle-type monks, and the private duel between them can rise to the level of life and death battles.
And for Shi Tuo and other Dan cultivators, the restrictions on private duels between disciples are not so relaxed.
After all, although combat-type genius monks are also rare, due to the huge number of monks, there are not many combat-type monks gathered in the Zhongdu Academy.
What's more, it is difficult for a combat monk to grow into a true powerhouse without experiencing life-and-death battles.
As a result, the Central Capital Academy has extremely lenient requirements for private duels between battle-type monks.
Dan Dao geniuses, and the geniuses of other support monks, are different from combat type monks.
Their progress on the road does not necessarily require the baptism of life and death. Besides, the number of disciples of these types, such as Dan Xiu and Formation Cultivation, is much smaller than that of Combat Type Cultivators.
Therefore, the academy has a restriction that private duels between them cannot be directly fought by force, so as not to cause unnecessary loss of Dan Xiu or formation cultivation talents.
Originally, Zhuang Yu would never have started a private fight against Shi Tuo after seeing the alchemy level that Shi Tuo showed at the dinner.
And because the private fight between Dan Xiu can only happen between disciples of the same class, Zhuang Yu has no way to let the senior brother fight with Shi Tuo.
It's just that when Zhuang Yu and the others later failed again in their plan against Shi Tuo in the Elixir Garden, they started to think of getting rid of Shi Tuo directly.
It's a pity that limited to the regulations between the Dan Xiu of the Zhongdu Academy, their idea of resorting to force for the development of the matter cannot be realized after all.
However, bad intentions are always held back, and after nearly half a month of repeated pondering, Zhuang Yu and others finally found the loopholes in Dan Xiu's private fighting rules, and took advantage of this to make enough articles in secret.
In addition to the rule that Dan Xiu cannot directly use force in private fighting, there is also another provision in order to enhance the enthusiasm of monks to learn from each other.
That is the first Dan Xiu private challenge that every monk receives every month, and he absolutely cannot refuse.
Although this rule may seem unreasonable, it avoids the situation where some Dan Xiu is isolated from other monks for a long time.
In addition to the good inheritance, continuous practice, and deep understanding of Dan Xiu's alchemy skills, it also lies in the collision between various alchemy techniques.
A Dan cultivator who works behind closed doors may be able to refine a good quality pill, but he can't continuously improve the level of alchemy.
Even Shi Tuo has the alchemy inheritance of the Dan in the inheritance, and he has a deep understanding of the Dan Dao and a clear state of mind, but after the mutual learning on the inner Dan Bi, he also has a rich harvest, which has laid the foundation for the continued improvement of his alchemy skills.
When Tuo heard the other party say the word "private fight", he thought in his heart: What should have come has finally come.
Since Shi Tuo made the other party make a fool of himself in public, he expected such a day. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhuang Yu would go into battle in person.
In fact, it's not that he wants to face Shi Tuo in person, it's just that the senior brothers in the previous session can't fight with Shi Tuo privately.
And the other monks of the same class did not have a direct conflict with Shi Tuo, besides, Zhuang Yu himself also felt that this was a good opportunity to be ashamed, so he personally stepped forward.
Shi Tuo was a little confused about the "private fight" mentioned by Zhuang Yu, he didn't know what confidence the other party had, and he came to test the alchemy pill.
If the other party really had the alchemy level to compete with him, he would not have been openly teased by him at the beginning.
And after Zhuang Yu mentioned the private fight, he began to explain the content of the private fight.
When the other party proposed to use the collection of elixir to conduct a competition, Shi Tuo was slightly stunned.
However, after thinking about it, he understood that although it seemed far-fetched to use herbs to conduct a private fight in Dan Xiu, it was actually within the scope of the academy's regulations.
After all, in addition to being able to refine elixir, he also needs to have a certain grasp of the ability to collect and search for elixirs.
It's just that in this way, Shi Tuo is a little inexplicable. Because when Shi Tuo was arresting the medicine badger in the elixir garden, everyone had seen his skills.
He didn't believe that Senior Brother Guan, or the other monks, hadn't relayed the matter to Zhuang Yu.
Since the other party already knew that he was not an ordinary Dan Xiu, but he still had to use it to collect medicine in the mountains and forests outside the academy as a private fighting project, this showed that the other party thought that he had an advantage in this regard.
It's just that Shi Tuozai looked at Zhuang Yu carefully, and he didn't find anything outstanding about the other party's skills.
The only thing that Shi Tuo can use as an explanation may be that the other party came a few months earlier than Shi Tuo, and there is also the support of the senior brothers behind him, so he is more familiar with the environment in the surrounding mountains and forests, so he is confident that he can find more elixirs than Shi Tuo.
However, Shi Tuo also has the help of the medicine spirit badger here, although Shi Tuo's familiarity with the terrain in the mountains and forests is not as good as the other party, but with the help of the spirit badger and other spirit beasts, he doesn't feel that he will lose to the other party.
Thinking like this, Shi Tuo felt that although the other party knew that he had a medicine seeking spirit badger, he was also more confident in his own knowledge, thinking that with the number of his environment, he could win the medicine seeking spirit badger.
After all, even if the medicine hunting spirit badger is a special spirit beast, it takes time to find the elixir on the mountain.
And their private fight, the time limit is to be completed tonight until the next morning, before the start of the miscellaneous mission.
With such a period of time, if the other party knows a lot about the gathering place of elixir and goes directly to it at the beginning of the private fight, it is really very likely to beat the speed of the elixir hunting badger slowly searching for the elixir.
Since this was the first Dan Xiu private fight that Shi Tuo received, he couldn't refuse according to the regulations. Since he couldn't refuse, Shi Tuo accepted it calmly.
As for the content of the private fight, although there is no lack of possibilities for the other party to win, Shi Tuo also just wants to try the ability of the medicine hunting badger to search for the elixir.
Therefore, for the content of the private fight proposed by Zhuang Yu, Shi Tuo unexpectedly did not make any changes.
After agreeing on the content of Dan Xiu's private fight, the time limit, and the location of the competition, the rest is the bet of the private fight.
The personal fights between Dan Xiu did not involve life and death, so it was not surprising that the bet became a cultivation resource.
Since this was the beginning of the second month, it would be time to distribute the cultivation resources on time in a few days.
As a result, both sides seemed to be desperate to bet all the cultivation resources for the next month, which surprised the surrounding monks.
As for whether the surprise of the monks behind Zhuang Yu was a real manifestation or a conspiratorial plan in advance, Shi Tuo didn't know and didn't care.
However, the surprise shown by the gathered people behind Shi Tuo was undoubtedly true, after all, the monks on their side were cultivating in the Zhongdu Academy, and all of them relied on the resources of the academy. And Shi Tuo is the same in their eyes.
If Shi Tuo loses the private fight, then next month's cultivation resources will be completely gone. And Zhuang Yu lost, but it was possible to get the support of the senior brothers behind him.
This made Li Yuechan and others sweat for Shi Tuo in their hearts, feeling that Shi Tuo was too impulsive this time and bet too much.
Only Xuesha knew that even if Shi Tuo lost, she would not lack cultivation resources for a while, after all, the spiritual spring and spiritual essence on her body were still given by Shi Tuo.
What's more, she believes that since Shi Tuo accepted the challenge and dared to bet on the other side, it means that he has a great chance of winning.
Although Dan Xiu's private fight is a private matter between monks, it is not a matter of unfounded words.
Conversely, after the fight is reached, both parties must drip their own blood into their respective admission tokens to make the fight effective.
Therefore, after Shi Tuo and Zhuang Yu determined the details of this private fight, they each took out the admission token and dripped their own blood on it.
Shortly after the blood slid down on the token, each of the two tokens emitted a blood-red glow.
I saw two blood-red rays of light projecting at each other, and after a while, the names of Shi Tuo and Zhuang Yu appeared at the overlap of the two beams, indicating that all the agreements in the private fight had taken effect.
If someone violates the agreement and refuses to pay the bet after the result of the private fight is determined, then they will be punished by the academy, and the content of the bet will also be enforced.
Whether it was Shi Tuo or Zhuang Yu, both of them saw the scene of Dan Xiu's private fight at the same time, and they couldn't help but be amazed by the strange scene generated by the token in front of them.
In addition to being amazed, the expressions of the two sides were completely different.
Shi Tuo saw that Dan Xiu's private fight was so effective, and he was not afraid that the other party would repay the debt afterwards, so he was relieved, and his face showed a look of confidence and reassurance.
Although Zhuang Yu was also slightly surprised, most of his mind was obviously not in this, and he didn't seem to care much about the bet agreed by the two.
On the contrary, the sly smile on his face reappeared, directly indicating his ulterior motives in this private fight.
However, although Shi Tuo had analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides before, he never thought that the other party's private fight was just a simple exchange.
Despite this, Shi Tuo did not dodge, in addition to the rules limiting, so that he could not refuse, why didn't Shi Tuo want to use the other party's small actions to regain more vigilance?
The location of the private fight between the two of them this time was the mountain forest outside the academy, but it was not the mountain forest where Shi Tuo and the others crossed the border of the Huo Yuan Kingdom last time and came to the gate of the academy.
This time, the mountain forest where the two fought privately chose the mountain forest outside the eastern edge of the academy, that is, the mountain forest next to many elixir gardens.
The two set off into the mountains and forests tonight, collecting the medicinal materials they saw along the way, and returning the next morning, and finally comparing the number of medicinal materials collected by both sides to decide the winner.
Since the freshly collected elixir is very easy to identify, there is no fear of deception on both sides, and the elixir prepared before is substituted.
Moreover, due to the special effect of the token to allow the private fight to agree on the miraculous effect, if it were not for the elixir collected by Shi Tuo or Zhuang Yu himself, there would be no way to be included in the final victory and defeat evaluation results.
