Chapter 34: Reaching the Next Level
On the day of the beginning of summer, Ye Yan's physical condition had fully recovered, and his strength had risen to a new level. During this time, the prestige of the porcupine in the first layer rose sharply, surpassing the previous layer master Du Man. In the melee that day, he not only defeated Du Man, but also came forward to quell the battle between the Du Man Legion and the White Wolf Legion, winning the trust of almost everyone on the first layer. When everyone asked him to take over as the new lord, he recommended Ding Yuan.
Originally, people did not have a good impression of Ding Yuan, thinking that he was a conspirator who was in the same league as Du Man. The porcupine tried his best to explain that in fact, Ding Yuan was an undercover agent by Du Man's side, and with his help, the porcupine could collect enough evidence to debunk Du Man's conspiracy. As a result, Ding Yuan regained people's trust and successfully became the first-level master.
Of course, no one would know that it was a fake Ding Yuan.
Ye Yan no longer has nostalgia for the first layer, and his ambition is not small enough to stay in the first layer and be the soil emperor for a lifetime, so he chose to find the first layer of the examiner on the day of Lixia.
The examiner on the first floor was a middle-aged man with a fat brain, he was lying in a hammock, biting a branch and seeing Ye Yan come in, he yawned lazily and pointed to the wall, "Stand over there and use your spiritual power to let me see." ”
Ye Yan walked over silently, and before Ye Yan exerted his spiritual power, the examiner said, "Newcomer, right, why haven't I seen you come to the library on the first floor, and you want to come to the assessment without learning any martial arts cheats?"
From high to low, the exercises are divided into heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow, and each level is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Ye Yan really didn't know how to answer the examiner's question, almost all of the exercises in the first layer of the library were yellow-level exercises, which were meaningless to him at all, if he told the examiner that the exercises he was learning now were the Fengwang Hundred Styles, it was estimated that the examiner would be scared to death.
Ye Yan stretched his muscles and bones, ready to show his spiritual power, because he didn't know what the criteria for advancing to the second layer were, so Ye Yan felt that it was better to release all his spiritual power without reservation.
"Today's children, they are too arrogant and difficult to learn like you, and they think they are invincible in the world when they learn some basic skills in their own family. Ye Yan had already begun to mobilize his spiritual power, and the examiner was still thinking about it, "I just arrived at the underground gate and didn't see him come to the library to learn the exercises, so I came in directly to be assessed, what is the result......? Ah......h
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, Ye Yan's spiritual power was released, and the examiner shouted loudly in the middle of his words.
Tian Tai, Song Hai and Zhu Xiaolan, who were waiting anxiously outside the room, heard movement inside and hurriedly stood up. The door opened, and Ye Yan walked out expressionlessly.
"How is it?," Mrs. Tian and the others surrounded Ye Yan and asked earnestly.
Ye Yan shook his head, and the three of them were immediately disappointed. As Ye Yan's friends, of course they hope that Ye Yan can move forward to the high-rise building, on the other hand, once Ye Yan is promoted to the second floor or even higher, as Ye Yan's faction, they will not only have a light on their faces, but their lives on the first floor will be much better in the future, there is a boss on the second floor, who would dare to bully them?
"I didn't expect that even you wouldn't be able to get by, it seems that it is really difficult to ascend. Song Hai sighed very much.
"It's not like that. Ye Yan shook his head again, "I don't know if I passed or not, the examiner somehow fainted." ”
"Huh?" Tian Tai, Song Hai, and Zhu Xiaolan shouted in unison.
In the room, the obese examiner rolled from the hammock to the ground, his left nostril was bleeding, his eyes were wide, and his face was blue as if he was overly frightened. Countless cracks appeared on the wall where Ye Yan was exerting his spiritual power, and it happened that a fly flew over, docked on a crack in the wall, and rubbed his feet. At this point, the wall rattled continuously, from small to loud, and finally with a bang, the entire wall exploded, shattering into countless small stones.
Three days later, Ye Yan received a notice and successfully became a member of the second floor of Xuanhe Tower.
The Crane Tower, the majestic building of the Dimen Academy second only to the Xuanhe Tower, is the place where the dean and gatekeepers of the Dimen and the examiners of each floor live. The crane spreads its wings and is full of fairy spirit. At this time, the owner of this building, Dimen Yuanqiu, was useless to go out and wander and had not yet returned. The affairs in the courtyard are temporarily in charge of the gatekeeper, that is, the left door god with the shield of the earth gate.
Today, a distinguished guest came to the Immortal Crane Tower, Ji Xingdan, a lifeweaver who has a twenty-year friendship with Qiu Wufu, the dean of the Earth Gate.
"Lifeweaver, you're here. The gatekeeper went out and welcomed Ji Xingdan into the house.
"Oh, saving people is like fighting fire, Ji should have arrived earlier, but he was delayed because of something important, I'm really sorry. Ji Xingdan said with a nervous expression, in fact, he had already arrived at the Dimen Academy, and deliberately stayed until now before coming to see the gatekeeper.
"As long as you can come, you alone are better than a thousand elixirs. Shen Tu was actually a little dissatisfied with his late arrival, just because he had an old friendship with Dean Qiu Wufu for twenty years, so he had to be polite to him.
The two of them walked quickly into a room, and on the bed lay a seriously wounded man, unconscious, the wound on the surface seemed to be fine, and there was a clear palm print on his chest, which was probably the one that caused his serious internal injuries.
As soon as Ji Xingdan arrived, he immediately inserted a silver needle in the forehead and chest of the injured person, and then carefully observed the injury, with a solemn face.
"How's it going?" asked Kamiha, concerned.
"The internal organs are all injured, the meridians are chaotic, and the true qi is chaotic, and there is really no way for such a serious injury to an ordinary doctor. Ji Xingdan's words revealed a bit of smugness, "However, I have used a silver needle to guide his aura flow to control the deterioration of his injury, and then he only needs to heal and recuperate slowly, and he will gradually get better." ”
Hearing this, Shen Tu felt even more disgusted with Ji Xingdan in his heart, if he had arrived earlier, maybe his injuries would have improved.
"It's just that I'm curious. Ji Xingdan raised his head and asked Shen Di, "Who has the ability to hurt Yu Lei, the right door known as the 'Sword of the Earth Gate', so badly?"
There are two gatekeepers in the underground gate, the left door god is called the "shield of the underground gate", and the injured person lying on the bed at this time is the right door "the sword of the underground gate" Yu Lei. They are the useless apprentices of Qiu Wumen, the dean of the Earth Gate, and they are also the strongest people in the Earth Gate after Qiu Wumen. Over the years, they have relied on their strong strength to maintain the order of the Earth Gate and protect the Earth Gate from foreign invasion. This is also the reason why the Earth Gate and the Heavenly Gate Academy are located in the same Moon Mountain Range and are not swallowed up by it.
"Do you still need to ask?" Speaking of this, Shen Di seemed to be even more displeased, "Who else is the biggest enemy of the Earth Gate, besides the Mo family?"
"Sure enough, it's the Mo family. For this answer, Ji Xingdan had already expected it, "The people of the Mo family can hurt the right door so badly, could it be that Mo Cangyuan personally took action?"
The Mo family is the most famous weapon forging family in the Wancheng Empire, and the head of the family, Mo Cangyuan, is known as the Red Alchemist and the First Martial Artist of the Ten Thousand Vehicles, and his name resounded throughout the empire. He is one of the only two characters in the empire who can forge red weapons (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple represent the quality of weapons respectively, and red weapons are the best weapons).
Mo Cangyuan, the head of the Mo family, and Qiu Wufu, the dean of the Earth Gate, have an incompatible hatred, and no one knows the reason.
"Alas......" Shen Tu sighed, "I also thought it was Mo Cangyuan, but I didn't expect ......"
"Is it Chen Musheng?" Ji Xingdan said after taking Shen Di's words.
"Do you know Chen Musheng?" at the mention of this name, the spirit of Shen Di immediately came, and he was eager to know about this person who could defeat the "Sword of the Earth Gate".
"Once upon a time, he was Mo Cangyuan's most proud apprentice, and his talent for forging weapons was not high, but he was extremely talented in spiritual martial arts cultivation, and he was a young talent. If it weren't for Mo Cangyuan's personal action, the Mo family would be able to defeat Yu Lei, and I couldn't think of anyone else except him. What Ji Xingdan didn't say was that he had only been invited by Mo Cangyuan to treat Chen Musheng not long ago, and it was obvious that Chen Musheng was injured in the duel with Yu Lei, but the injury was much smaller than Yu Lei.
"Did Elder Qiu make any moves?" Ji Xingdan asked again.
"No, his old man is still traveling all over the world, saying that the time has not yet come. Shen Tu shook his head, and there was obviously a hint of blame for Qiu Wufu in his tone. His apprentice was seriously injured by others, but he was still in the mood to travel all over the world and didn't want to make a difference, did he really have to wait for others to climb on his head and pee?
"On this point, I agree with Qiu Lao's approach. Ji Xingdan said.
"Even you say so. Shen Di originally thought that Ji Xingdan would stand in the position of Qiu Useless's old friend and say a few words about Qiu Useless.
"After all, it was Chen Musheng who did the other party, and the fair duel between the apprentices of the two sides, if he lost, his skills were not as good as others. If Qiu Lao chooses to act at this time, he will lose first in terms of "reason". ”
"When does the battle between Dimen and the Mo family need to pay attention to the word 'reason'. Shen Tu said disapprerovingly, this sentence made Ji Xingdan speechless.
Ji Xingdan asked Shen Tu to wait outside, and used his unique technique to heal Yu Lei for half an hour before leaving the room.
"It's all right, if it goes well, he'll wake up tonight, and then he can take the medicine according to the prescription of the doctor you asked." Ji Xingdan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Shen Tu thanked him and personally sent him outside the gate of the academy, and when he left, Ji Xingdan suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, when I first arrived at the academy, I heard a rumor about Kazama Valley......"
As soon as he heard Kazama, Ceres, he immediately frowned.
"I heard that a student from the first floor recently went inside for a night and managed to come out again, like what's it called...... Ye Yan...... bar. Ji Xingdan deliberately revealed this information and observed Shen Di's expression.
After hearing this, Shen Di's face changed greatly, and he was blue and white for a while.
Half an hour later, Xu Bugui, the master of the second floor, received an urgent summons from the gatekeeper and hurried to the Crane Tower.
