Chapter 50: The Silver Dragon's Scales

"This competition will be the starting point for me to step into the path of martial arts, so let's use a victory to announce the beginning of my future path!"

Standing in the ring, Li Yichen looked at the opponent opposite and said secretly to himself.

He knew that Ye Yun, who was standing opposite, was the strongest opponent he had ever met since the start of the competition, and the strength of the second-level pinnacle of his status had touched the artistic conception of fast, and if he was a little careless in the face of such an opponent, he would definitely be doomed.

All along, he knew very well that everything had to be faced bravely, and no matter when he was cultivating hard for ten years, longing to be able to cultivate his true qi, he didn't think about giving up in the slightest. Or after cultivating by leaps and bounds, stand in the ring and work hard one after another to win the final victory.

Insufficient cultivation and insufficient strength are not a reason to retreat. On the road of cultivation, it is to go against the sky, where can you stand on the top of the mountain without experiencing many dangers and obstacles, see the mountains at a glance, and how to meet the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain.

The reality is so cruel, no matter how good you are, but in the end, the only one who can be noticed by the crowd is always the person who stands at the top.

And those who have become a stepping stone to the accumulated losers, but no one will ever pay attention.

If Li Yichen didn't win in the end, the sense of amazement that everyone had given in the previous competition would disappear in an instant, and at most some people would feel a little sorry for him, and then forget about it, because at that time, he was just a loser.

The desire for victory made Li Yichen's fighting spirit rise day by day.

The high fighting spirit made Li Yichen's whole person's momentum rise steadily.

Standing in the ring, Li Yichen looked straight ahead, and the focus of his eyes was on Ye Yun opposite. With a high head and a straight body, the long sword in his right hand was pointed at the other party. The strong battle intent emanating from the whole body seemed to be about to turn into something tangible, soaring into the sky, threatening to pierce the entire sky.

"Alas, that's a pity!"

On the high platform, Lu Zhoutong, who was a guest of honor, looked at the two people facing each other in the ring, and suddenly sighed and said.

"Third uncle, I don't know if you feel sorry for you?"

Hearing Lu Zhoutong's sigh, Lu Gang, who was sitting next to him, immediately answered like a dog.

"Virtuous nephew, you want to get to this point where Li Yichen has come to this point, standing on the stage of the finals, I should be happy for him. But think about it, as a miscellaneous root of the five departments, will there be room for development in the future? In this year's academy competition, the strongest player in our Lu family couldn't even get into the top five. Finally, there is a child of a relative who can compete with other children with foreign surnames, but it is a miscellaneous root of the five lines. Do you think I can not sigh? Maybe in a few years, our Lu family's position in the entire Tangjiang will not be guaranteed. ”

As the patriarch of a family, everything must be prepared for a rainy day, and the family business must be taken as its own responsibility. Although the Lu family is still ranked first in the entire Tangjiang Town, this is just a return to the past.

The current highest deterrent in the family is Lu Tianpeng, a mid-level master of the heavenly rank who has not asked about the world for a long time, although he is currently the highest cultivator in Tangjiang Town, but after all, he is old, and he may return to the West when he will go, and he can only exist as a deterrent at present. And now, as the new generation of the Lu family, there are no good seedlings at present, and there are no genius students who can beat the crowd in the big competition of Tangjiang College for several consecutive years, and it is not as good as a year. In case one day Lu Tianpeng in the family returns to the west, then the entire family will really not be able to find someone who can be used, and the status of the entire Lu family in Tangjiang Town will be worrying. After all, in Tangjiang Town, it is still the final word with fists, and the Lu family can get to this point today because of Lu Shidi and Lu Tongzuo's defeat back then.

Finally, there was an amazing talent among the relatives of the side lineage, but it was the five miscellaneous roots, after all, the history of the Tianyun Continent has proved that the people of the five different roots have no value of cultivation at all, that is, those high-ranking wealthy factions have poured all their resources into the strength of cultivating a person with five miscellaneous roots into a high-level peak, not to mention that the Lu family is only a little famous in the surrounding hundreds of miles, and it is just a small dilapidated family in the countryside when it goes to some big places.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh for Lu Zhou, that is, for Li Yichen's five miscellaneous roots, and for the Lu family to begin to fall into decline in the past few years.

"Third uncle, I think there is no need for your old man to feel pity and sigh because this Li Yichen is a five-line miscellaneous root. ”

After learning the actual reason for Lu Zhoutong's sigh, Lu Gang beside him comforted.

"Oh, nephew, why is that?"

Hearing that there was no need to feel pity for Li Yichen's five miscellaneous roots, Lu Zhoutong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Third uncle, please think about it, old man. Throughout the history of our Tianyun Continent, as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with five miscellaneous roots, who can break through to the cultivation of the first level of status, that is, under the full cultivation of those ancient sects, those people with five miscellaneous roots are at best only able to reach the advanced level of cultivation by the age of fifteen or sixteen, and those who can reach the first level of status can be said to be unique in history. Besides, Li Yichen's performance in the past few days is not comparable to the ordinary status level 1, and the ordinary status level 2 cultivation cannot take any advantage in front of him at all, which is the quality that the so-called genius who can leapfrog the challenge can show. ”

After seeing Lu Zhoutong leaning forward slightly and listening carefully to what he had to say, Lu Gang paused slightly, allowing Lu Zhoutong to digest what he said.

"Third uncle, as Li Yichen's question, I don't know if I should say or not say a sentence about my little nephew?"

Speaking of this, Lu Gang suddenly asked.

"I said Gangzi, I didn't expect you to even pick up your uncle. It's not like you. ”

Lu Zhoutong was listening to this, and suddenly saw that Lu Gang actually sold Guanzi, and even called out the title Gangzi in a hurry. Thinking about it, Lu Gangdu is already gray, and he is also called Gangzi, which not only makes people feel cold.

"Uncle, how dare I sell your guanzi. That's what I think of Li Yichen. Although at the moment it has shown a certain talent. But you also know that in our Tianyun Continent, no one with the five roots has ever been able to go far. So uncle, you don't need to focus on cultivating him with the strength of the family, who knows how he will develop in the future? In case this Li Yichen can really soar into the sky in the future, and if something happens to the family, won't he still lend a helping hand? After all, his veins also have our Lu family's blood flowing in his veins. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhoutong was already a little anxious, Lu Gang didn't dare to show off too much, and explained to him in detail in the other party's ear. So that Lu Zhoutong does not need to deliberately use the strength of the family to cultivate Li Yichen, because the five miscellaneous roots have not yet had a successful example in the entire Tianyun Continent, and they only need to move around more normally and be restrained by family affection.

"The old man is looking at it. Virtuous nephew. There hasn't been a good seedling in the family in the past few years, and the old man is also anxious. In case the whole family declines because of this, the old man will have no face to face the ancestors even if he dies. ”

Perhaps because the pressure has been too great in recent years, Lu Zhoutong couldn't help but reveal his true feelings at this time.

"Uncle, don't think about it, all the things you have done for the family over the years, I think all the people in the family can see it clearly. To say that there have been no good seedlings in the family in the past few years, this is completely to blame me, blame me for not cultivating suitable pillars for the family. ”

Seeing Lu Zhoutong's sincere confession, Lu Gang immediately couldn't sit still, and confessed to Lu Zhoutong with old tears.

"To be honest, this kind of lack of success in the clan over the years can't be said to blame you, maybe it's because the descendants of the clan have lived too comfortably in recent years and have lost their enterprising spirit. ”

Seeing Lu Gang's sincere and frightened look, Lu Zhoutong felt that he couldn't say that all the responsibility could be shifted to Lu Gang, the dean of the academy, so he had to clean up his frustration and comfort Lu Gang in turn.

"Li Yichen, Li Yichen!"

The two old men on the high platform sighed to each other, lamenting the withering of talents in the family. The onlookers under the ring were all shouting Li Yichen's name.

At this time, the two players in the ring are both genius students in the academy in the eyes of everyone. Although Ye Yun's cultivation is even better, and he has always been famous in the academy, after all, Li Yichen is young, and after the New Year, he will be sixteen years old, two years younger than Ye Yun, in the eyes of everyone, this Li Yichen is more talented.

As for Li Yichen's five-line miscellaneous root attributes, he was even left behind by everyone, even if it was a five-line miscellaneous root, so what? Ten years later, in exchange for the sudden rise of today's army, then who can't say that it is an inspirational legend? Therefore, most of the people under the ring still resolutely support Li Yichen, hoping that he can win the final victory, so that the big guy has witnessed the birth of a legend in the academy.

In the cheers of everyone, Li Yichen felt that his fighting spirit had reached a critical point. Now he only thought about slashing out the long sword in his hand, splitting the entire space and cutting all the obstacles in front of him.

"Silver Dragon Scales!"

Li Yichen slowly put his left hand on the hilt of the sword, holding the sword with both hands. Holding the sword in both hands, the long sword danced out of the dragon-shaped silver light, stabbing out of the trend, just like the silver dragon soaring into the sky, and the god was mighty. A silver sword light stabbed towards Ye Yun like a soaring dragon.
