"Lin Jiang, wake up!"

"Little brother, you are lucky, wake up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Jiang Ling was awakened by a shout, and slowly opened his eyes, only to see an old man with a tall body, a thin body, a melon seed face, and a high nose and thick eyebrows looking at him.

He hurriedly jumped up, and saw Elder Xuanfeng, Elder Niu Li, and another short, chubby old man guarding the side.

Jiang Ling took a closer look at the surrounding environment and found that it was still within the ninth layer of the Flame Tower.

"Old drunkard, you're here. ”

When Jiang Ling saw Elder Xuanfeng, a sense of intimacy surged into his heart.

He didn't expect that he would still be alive and well, and when he saw Elder Xuanfeng, his heart suddenly warmed, and he was sure that the turmoil just now was over.

Elder Xuanfeng squinted, lifted the wine jug and poured a sip of spirits, and said with a smile: "Not only am I here, but Elder Niu Li has also put down his work and also come, and the two elders of the retreat, tall and thin, short and fat, were also frightened by the movement you made and left the customs ahead of schedule." ”

Jiang Ling knew that the two old men sitting next to him, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were the two elders guarding the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the Flame Tower.

He immediately stood up and bowed to the two elders, and said embarrassedly: "Two elders, I'm sorry, the situation at that time couldn't be contained to make such a big movement, disturbing the two elders, Lin Jiang apologized to the two elders again." ”

Seeing that Jiang Ling was so polite, the tall and slender elder didn't care too much, and smiled: "The person who can be chosen by the senior brother must have your merits." ”

Elder Humpty Dumpty pouted with a fleshy face, and smiled casually: "It's okay, it's just to get out of the customs in advance, and besides, the matter of selecting the members of the martial arts competition of the Martial God Academy is about to be done, and you can also help you choose it when you come out of the retreat at this time." ”

Elder Niu Li didn't seem calm at all, and asked in a violent voice, "Stinky boy, why are you alone, Elder Diqing?"

The four elders all discovered that the ninth layer was different from usual, the usual Evil Sword was suspended in the air, and Elder Di Qing was hidden in the Evil Sword, and rarely came out to show his face, but as long as the four elders came up, Di Qing would ask about something.

This time was an exception, the four elders heard the thusss of the ninth layer under the Flame Tower, and they almost shattered the Flame Tower, but when they came up, they only saw Jiang Ling lying on the ground, and there were two swords next to it, one was a bloodthirsty Nether Sword, and the other was white and shiny, with a murderous aura, not a swarthy Evil Sword.

Jiang Ling didn't need to hide it, so he talked about how Elder Diqing built the Evil Sword and the various emergencies encountered in the process of forging the sword, as well as the fact that Elder Diqing later ignited the golden pill to sacrifice the Evil Sword.

After hearing this, Elder Xuanfeng's eyes were moist, and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't say a word.

He didn't know how to say it, he was both happy and sad, happy that his senior brother, Elder Diqing, had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and sad that Elder Diqing's soul was scattered.

"Providence, I hope that Master Jian Wuji can also know the hard work of Senior Brother. ”

After hearing this, Elder Niu Li clenched his fists, and there was an indescribable reluctance and grief in his heart, in his heart, Senior Brother Diqing matched his personality and temperament, and he could be described as a confidant.

The soul of the confidant was scattered, and the senior brother left completely, he was very heartbroken, and roared angrily: "Senior brother, why are you so impulsive, you usually always admonish me to be approachable, but you yourself act so impulsively. ”

The tall and thin and short and fat elders were also shocked by Elder Diqing's actions, they never expected that the violent trembling of the ninth layer of the Flame Tower was caused by Elder Diqing's willingness to ignite the Jindan Casting Sword.

Moved, only moved remained.

They have always admired the elder brother Di Qing for taking the glory of the sword forger very seriously, and they were even impressed by the dedication that Di Qing has paid all his life to fulfill the wish of his master Jian Wuji.

"Senior brother, let's go!"

"We will take good care of the Martial God Academy, don't worry!"

The four elders were all saddened by Di Qing's sacrifice for the Most Evil Sword, and their hearts were extremely heavy, and they were silent one after another, quietly looking at Bai Zejian.

Jiang Ling moved his muscles and bones, and felt a lot more comfortable, he picked up the bloodthirsty nether sword, hung it on his waist, and then picked up the Bai Ze sword transformed from the evil sword, handed it to Elder Xuanfeng, and said: "Old drunkard, give you Bai Ze Sword, this is what Elder Diqing asked me to give to you, he asked you to pay attention to the sword-loving person, and then handed over the Bai Ze Sword to this person, so that he can complete the great cause of quelling the war." ”

Elder Xuanfeng carefully took the Bai Ze sword, examined it carefully, and sighed: "Sure enough, it is a good sword, I will definitely complete the things that Senior Brother explained." ”

Xuan Feng also knew that he was close to the senior brother on weekdays, and he also understood the senior brother's thoughts, so he had no doubt that the senior brother entrusted Bai Zejian to him.

Senior Brother Diqing is gone, and the Martial God Academy needs someone to preside over the overall situation, and this burden naturally falls on the most powerful Xuanfeng Elder.

Elder Xuanfeng put away the Bai Ze Sword, discussed it with several other elders, and decided to give the Bai Ze Sword as a prize to the person who won the championship in the competition where the Martial God Academy was selected for the participating team.

It's just that the test questions of the competition no longer continue the old calendar of previous years, and in addition to the necessary competitions, some content should be added, not only to select disciples with higher strength and talent, but also to evaluate character and some inner human nature.

Jiang Ling calculated the time, it took three days and three nights to swallow the elixir of resurrection until it was completely absorbed, and then it took nearly a day and one night to build the evil sword, so that there were only two days left before the Martial God Academy competition.

He suddenly felt that time was pressing, and he had refused Elder Xuanfeng's offer to directly exempt the competition from being selected as a member of the team, and he also said that he would win the championship with his own strength, if he regretted it now, wouldn't it make several elders make fun of him.

He didn't want to humiliate himself, he thought about it for a while: "The environment of the Flame Tower is good, no one disturbs it, it is quiet and quiet, there is no more suitable place for spiritual cultivation than this, and the pressure of another Flame Tower is conducive to speeding up the improvement of strength, and it can use two days as four days, and the same thing is only half of the thing, why not do it?"

Jiang Ling smiled and smiled at the four elders: "Elder, Lin Jiang has a reluctant request, and I ask you to agree." ”

The four elders were puzzled and looked at each other.

After a while, Elder Xuanfeng squinted his eyes, guessed what Jiang Ling meant, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, are you still worried about the thing you mentioned to me about winning the championship by strength?" Haha, it's okay, I know that you have a strong personality and don't like to be taken care of by special channels, what is the matter to say directly, you have helped the Martial God Academy so much, we owe you a favor." ”

The other three elders also nodded in agreement with Elder Xuanfeng's words.

After receiving Elder Xuanfeng's answer, Jiang Ling did not beat around the bush, and directly requested: "Elder, you see, the martial arts competition of the Martial God Academy is about to start in two days, I have just recovered my muscles and veins, and I want to move my muscles and bones, and if I think about it, it is still the most suitable for the Flame Tower, so can I ask to stay in the Flame Tower for these two days to cultivate my spirit." ”

The three elders thought it was something very difficult to do, but they didn't expect that Jiang Ling just made such an easy request to stay in the Flame Tower and cultivate.

Elder Xuanfeng laughed, took off the Xuan-level high-level swordsmith badge he carried with him, and said: "It's not a difficult thing, give you the badge, the Flame Tower is as long as you want, you can stay as long as you want, but don't go near the tenth layer." ”

Jiang Ling took the familiar badge and put it on his chest, he looked up at the other three elders who were wearing Xuan-level mid-level badges on their chests, a stark contrast.

The four elders smiled helplessly and explained: "Little brother, a few of our old men will go out first to prepare for the upcoming martial arts competition, you stay in the Flame Tower to cultivate your spirit, remember not to enter the tenth layer." ”

"Old drunkard, there is one more thing, you can help me, if King Yue or Princess Ling Yao send someone to find me, you will say that I am in retreat, don't tell others that I am cultivating in the Flame Tower, I don't want to be said to go through the back door if I win at that time." "Jiang Ling has grown a heart since he was assassinated in the sword forge workshop of Sword Idiot and Heya, and deliberately asked the elders not to reveal his whereabouts, and he was completely relieved of the four kind elders.

Elder Xuanfeng squinted, carrying the wine jug and Bai Zejian, and promised: "Leave it to me, it's okay, you cultivate your spirit well, otherwise you will lose to others, but it will be embarrassing, Elder Niu Li and the tall and thin and short fat elders are each very talented, my proud apprentice is not bad, you will fight with them, cultivate the spirit well, let's go first." ”

The four elders quickly disappeared into the flames, and they didn't forget to explain when they left.

"Remember not to go near the tenth floor. ”

Jiang Ling agreed: "Got it!"

After the four elders were completely gone, he jumped a few times actively, and he was left alone in the huge flame tower, and he could play as much as he wanted, and no one cared.

"What is there on the tenth layer, it can actually block the powerful flame hammer shock wave and protect the flame tower from being shattered, and the four elders have been explaining that they will not let me approach the tenth layer, could it be that there is a treasure hidden in it?"

The more you are not allowed to enter, the more you want to go in and have a look, and people's curiosity can't stop it.

If the four elders hadn't repeatedly emphasized not to approach the tenth layer, Jiang Ling wouldn't have bothered to go up and take risks, but the four elders were very flustered when they talked about the tenth layer, there must be something, Jiang Ling suddenly became interested, and he had to go up and take a look.

It's just that the competition is coming, and he thinks that he has to practice the Haiyuan Sword Technique taught by Elder Diqing first to improve his actual combat ability.

He thought of the local snake and ruffian hooligan Black Carbon, who was definitely no match for Black Charcoal that day if it weren't for the brute force of his flesh alone, with the fact that he hadn't recovered his muscles and veins.

He thought of the group of people who entered the Sword Casting Workshop to assassinate him, if it weren't for the strong spiritual realm and the discovery in advance, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under the sword long ago.

There are also the eldest apprentices of the four elders, the elder and the eldest apprentice of Elder Xuanfeng alone gives Jiang Ling a feeling of oppression, which is not easy to deal with, and the eldest apprentices of the other three elders have not met yet, and they don't know the depth of strength.

In short, Jiang Ling urgently needed to master the Haiyuan swordsmanship to improve his actual combat ability.

"I'm the champion. ”

Jiang Ling roared confidently, of course, no one could hear it, there was no second person in the Flame Tower besides him.
