After the end of the war, the hunting group returned to its former calm, saying that it was calm, but in fact it was not peaceful, because of the previous war, Shi Ningsheng had already promoted Zhou Ming and the others from the status of "toys that will be destroyed if they can't get it" to the status of a thorn in the flesh, but at least the mercenary group of the demon soul also needs to rest after the war, so for the time being, the demon soul has not officially started against Zhou Ming and the World Tree.

In these peaceful days, the Rashomon hunting group also carried out a retaliatory counteroffensive, but the Demon Soul Mercenary Group was naturally prepared for this attack, so after the two sides fought, no one took any advantage, and in the end, this counterattack was thunder and rain, and it failed to let Rashomon recover his losses.

Another thing worth mentioning during this period of time is that Hong Menglong actually came all the way from the Silver Moon Empire to visit Zhou Ming once, and in addition to being moved, Zhou Ming also quickly took the opportunity to ask Hong Menglong about the sword skills accumulated in the past two months, especially about the problem of the cold wind knife array, this set of knife arrays Zhou Ming has not been able to comprehend the essence of it, mainly because the cold wind knife array he observed is not a knife spectrum, but only seen a little bit in the third style of the top falling flowers, with Zhou Ming's knowledge and heritage, how can it be possible to restore a complete knife spectrum from it, at most it is just a gourd to draw a scoop。

However, Hong Menglong is different, after Zhou Ming described to him the scene of the third style of the Absolute Falling Flower and demonstrated to him the cold wind knife technique according to the gourd painting, Hong Menglong quickly made a summary: "It's not that there is a problem with your set of knife exercises, but this set of knife formations can only show its due power when using ice attribute knives, if it is a heaven-level powerhouse, and it happens to be the domain of ice attributes, then the power of this set of knife formations will rise to another level." ”

Speaking of ice attribute knives, Zhou Ming really didn't have the opportunity to build a pair, when he picked the ice blue stone baby flower in the cave before, Zhou Ming also obtained the cryolite crystal cluster as an associated mineral, to say that Zhou Ming hadn't thought about whether to exchange these cryolite for contribution cards or use it to build double knives himself, then now Zhou Ming has made up his mind to create a pair of ice attribute double knives for himself.

As for the Ice Blue Stone Baby Flower, this thing has now entered Zhou Ming's stomach, and the Ice Blue Stone Baby Flower has only one effect, which is to wash the essence and cut the marrow, that is, because of this only one effect, the price of the Ice Blue Stone Baby Flower on the market has been high for a long time, Zhou Ming went to the academy and asked, if he sold this Ice Blue Stone Baby Flower to the Academy, he could get at least two hundred contribution cards.

Zhou Ming will not be stupid to sell the ice blue stone baby flower, this kind of genius earth treasure that can open up the meridians is to give him five hundred contribution cards, he should not sell them, after all, the contribution card can be earned, but he may not be able to see one more in this life, with the effect of this ice blue stone baby flower, Zhou Ming passed the hunter assessment of the lower four-star in one fell swoop, you know, Zhou Ming has only entered the Star Pole Royal Academy for two months, according to this view, in a year's time, let alone reaching the lower five-star, it is not impossible to break through to the upper position, and the strength increase provided to Zhou Ming by the Ice Blue Stone Baby Flower is not just as simple as raising the hunter level by one level on the surface, the biggest help that washing the essence and cutting the marrow brings to Zhou Ming is the acceleration of the level increase, and after the body becomes more ethereal, many bottlenecks become no difficulty for Zhou Ming, in short, this change is beneficial and harmless.

Three months passed quickly, and nothing else happened during the period, Zhou Ming's Silver Moon Hunter Team also played a triumphant song all the way in the class competition, and the development of the hunting group was also thriving, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, so this time it was close to the day of recruiting new people in winter, and Zhou Ming and the others were full of confidence.

Three months have made the weather of the Star Pole Empire gradually change from the autumn high air to a slightly chilly monsoon and fine snow, walking on the road, breathing will exhale white mist, this season seems to have become the whole world has become deserted, people mostly hide in the house to enjoy the warmth of the stove and spirits, but the academy does not plan to let the students idle for two months, so since the students have no passion to hunt and train, the school will find a way to make the students passionate, so the annual 100 regiments competition officially kicked off。

The 100-regiment competition can be said to be the most representative competition of the Xingji Royal Academy, on the morning of the opening day, the college even rented a salute and balloons, and from the early morning of this day, gongs and drums were noisy and firecrackers rang out......

"It's really hilarious. Wearing a thick velvet jacket, Zhou Ming and his friends routinely finished breakfast together, standing outside the door of the restaurant, Zhou Ming stretched his waist to let the cold air enter his lungs, bringing him refreshment and freshness.

"Huhu, Zhou Ming, look, I'm Charizard. The national treasure excitedly blew at Zhou Ming and exhaled the white mist towards Zhou Ming.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, we have to perform well today. Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of the national treasure, he found that the best way to deal with the national treasure was to treat him as a child rather than a peer, sure enough, the national treasure who was rubbed his head no longer exhaled at Zhou Ming, but turned to look at the balloon not far away, cheering one after another with the rhythm of the salute.

"Zhou Ming, how did we play today?" Lan Xiaoyu handed Luo Fulei a pair of gloves, and Luo Fulei asked while wearing them.

"In the next two weeks from today, the academy will suspend classes to carry out the 100 regiment competition, this competition can be said to be the most important event for all hunting groups and mercenary groups, mercenaries are nothing more than fighting and killing, I just talk about the projects that the hunting group participates in, and the competition projects of the hunting group have large-scale cooperative hunting, There are three kinds of squad hunting and solo hunting, large-scale cooperative hunting requires more than 30 people to participate in the big hunting group, so we have nothing to do, single hunting and squad hunting are divided into upper-level competitions and lower-level competitions according to grades, not considering the hunters who have never appeared in Rashomon to support us, none of us have a second grade, so we can only participate in the two projects of low-level squad hunting and single hunting, as for the specific rules, I don't know much now, but the opening ceremony of the competition will definitely say that everyone cheers up, because after the first round of competition, it is the time for the winter hunting group to recruit new onesIf we can leave a good enough impression on the students watching the game, our next recruitment will be much easier. ”

"You mean, there's a second round after the hunting group recruits?" interjected Silver Armor.

"Yes, if the first round of the competition is for the promotion of winter recruitment, the second round of the competition is to work hard for the next half a year's hunting group ranking, in the second round of the competition, the new hunters recruited in the winter can also play, and the results of the second round of the 100 regiment competition will also become an important criterion for announcing the strength ranking on the strength column of the academy's official guild. Zhou Ming concluded.

"It seems that every single one counts. Luo Fulei nodded, and the Thunder Crystal Halberd of the Thunder Dragon brushed a spear flower and leaned behind his back, looking very chic.

"Brothers, are you confident?" Zhou Ming was carrying two azure blue double knives on his back at this time, if you touch them with your hands, you will find that the temperature of the scabbard is even a few points lower than the outdoor temperature at this time, this pair of double knives is the cryolite double knife that Zhou Ming has just commissioned in the academy.

"Hehe, don't worry. Long Xiaocheng showed Zhou Ming his more and more exaggerated muscles, just two days ago, he and Luo Fulei both advanced, Luo Fulei reached the next three stars, and he entered the next four stars.

"Then, let's go, the World Tree, we will win!" Zhou Ming pointed forward, and everyone walked towards the competition venue with confidence.
