Chapter 344: Hero Monument
Just as Chi You walked into the apartment, several more students walked by, but they obviously didn't notice the old man and went straight in.
Following the old man's instructions, Chi Yu quickly found his room. After opening the door with the key, a murky air gushed out. His expression changed, and he hurriedly turned sideways, and waited for a while before holding his breath and rushing in to open the window.
Taking advantage of the time to open the window for ventilation, Chiyou also saw the layout in the room clearly. This room is small, with two beds taking up most of the area. Other than that, there is only a table and two small wardrobes. Seeing this, the expression on Chi You's face became very weird.
"This is the famous Demon Slayer Island?"
Chiyu's throat cracked, and he sighed in his heart. The scene in front of him was a little different from what he imagined. In his opinion, the fame of Demon Slayer Island is so big, no matter what, the room will be better, but who knows?
After a few moments of ventilation, the turbid air in the room was finally clean. Chi You looked at this small space, but there was an indescribable excitement in his heart. From today onwards, this is his new path to becoming a strong man. Looks like I'll have a roommate, so let's clean it up first!
As the so-called children of the poor are in charge of the family early, although Chiyou cannot be said to be poor, he has been working hard outside and has learned the truth of self-reliance and self-improvement. So, after finding a few rags, he began to clean the room.
Although it was only a temporary residence for ten days, he cleaned it very carefully. Since the fall of the Xuyuan Sect, he has been wandering outside, and he has never been stable at all. Yes, it is very rare to be able to have a few days of peace, so he cherishes it.
It only took half an hour for Chiyou to clean all the sanitary corners, and the dust was clean. Although everything in the room is still so simple, it has an extra fresh breath. Seeing the clean and tidy room, he nodded with satisfaction.
It was getting dark, and one of his roommates still hadn't shown up. Lying on the bed, thinking about what Elder Wen said to him today, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There is no doubt that he is the wild road born in Wen Lao's mouth, is it really necessary to rebuild the previous great realm in order to become stronger?
"Since my cultivation, I have always attached great importance to basic cultivation. Along the way, I was able to skip the level of challenges, and even in the face of the powerhouses of the Transformation Realm, I could escape safely. But why, Elder Wen would say that my foundation is not solid enough?"
"What is practice?"
"What is the essence of the major realms?"
......
Chi Yu tossed and turned, only to feel like his head was about to explode. All night, he was thinking about his future path. In order to become stronger, does he really need to abolish his cultivation and re-cultivate? A serious problem was in front of him, which made him hesitate.
The next day, he washed his head with cold water for a long time, trying to sober himself up. With his head submerged in cold water, he couldn't help but think of his former friends. If they were themselves, what would they have decided?
"Well, this is my own way, no one can help me?" Chi Yu sighed, and immediately straightened his clothes and walked outside.
Chiyou had wanted to go to the small shed to listen to the lecture, but a noisy voice attracted his attention. It was a square not far from the apartment, and a stone monument stood over it.
The stele is 3,000 zhang high, magnificent and majestic, exuding a crystal luster. Right now, there are many students around and pointing around, as if something is happening.
"Excuse me, what is this stele?"
"The Hero Monument records the heroes born of Demon Slayer Island from ancient times to the present. Anyone who can leave a name on the Hero Monument must be a famous hero. This is the accumulation of endless years, the most authoritative. A middle-aged man said.
"Hero Monument, but why are there so many students around, and it has something to do with them?"
"Hehe, you just arrived, right?"
"This heroic monument has been improved for thousands of years, and now it has one more function, that is, it can be used to test people's foundation, combat power, potential, etc. You can see the three pedestals under the stele are the devices for the students to test. ”
Hearing this, Chi You's eyes glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw that under the magnificent heroic monument, there were three pedestals that were not too big or small. The base for testing the foundation and potential is only a smooth stone slab, perhaps using the principle of induction, to divide the high and low.
In addition, the base for testing combat power has a target hanging. As long as you are a cultivator, you know that it is tested by punching.
"The Hero Monument, the lower one-third of the place, is full of the names of the students, recording the top 100 in the entire Demon Slayer Island. Whoever can leave their name on it will immediately shake Demon Slayer Island. Even some elders may come to poach people?" someone said in a low voice with a lot of emotion.
"Can anyone test it here?" asked Chi Yu as he turned to the people around him.
"That's right, anyone can test it, but most people don't want to, because they're afraid that they'll be too embarrassed, haha......" One of the students chuckled lightly and walked straight to Chi You's side.
"Little brother, do you want to give it a try?"
Chi Yu touched his chin, a little moved in his heart. However, he heard the words of Elder Wen in his mind, and he was a little lacking in confidence. Yes, although he was curious, he was still ready to watch from the sidelines, because he saw several people with eager looks.
"I'd better take a look first!" Chiyu said to the student with a smile, and then stared at the students who were ready to challenge without blinking.
Several teenagers were in high spirits and eager to try, all wanting to leave their names on the stone tablet to see how high their ranking was and whether they would shine brightly. Looking at their slightly immature faces, they should not be more than twenty years old.
"Let me come first!"
A teenager walked forward, the soles of his feet glowing, leaving footprints on the ground. When I looked closely, I was amazed to see that the floor was full of horrific marble. Being able to leave clear footprints on the marble is clearly extraordinary.
He walked forward step by step, and his whole body seemed to burn. Seeing this, some of the students who were close to each other took a few steps back, leaving him plenty of space.
The boy walked towards the second pedestal, obviously to test his strength. After seeing his actions clearly, the surrounding crowd suddenly became short of breath. The foundation and potential are both virtual, and only the most real combat power is the most touching to the hearts of the people.
The boy stood proudly in front of the second pedestal, like a green pine. I saw that he was glowing all over, and he used all his means to explode with all his strength, and attacked the stone tablet violently.
"Boom!"
Yuan Force erupted, and the air vibrated slightly. With a roar, the pedestal shuddered suddenly, and the noise was loud.
"Well, how high am I ranked?" the boy recoiled, looking for his name on the Hero Monument with a look of hope. But after a long time, he didn't find anything, which made the expression on his face suddenly become extremely exciting.
"Didn't see it!"
There is no weak person among the students on Demon Slayer Island, so their perception is far beyond ordinary people, and if you look carefully, you won't miss anything at all. However, the young man struck down, but there was no change at all, obviously the combat power was not enough.
"Is there something wrong with this monument because it has been around for too long, otherwise why doesn't there be my name?" the boy asked, a little disappointed.
The elders watching from the side immediately laughed and said in a low voice: "Little guy, not everyone can leave a name on the stone tablet, only the top 100 people in the Demon Slayer Island are qualified to leave a name on the hero tablet!"
Hearing this, the young man immediately blushed to the point of his neck. I saw him clench his fists slightly, trembling all over. He didn't even have the qualifications to leave his name, and he still wanted to see the rankings? At this moment, he even wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, which was too embarrassing.
"Haha, little one, don't be embarrassed. It has not been possible for a person's name to appear on the hero monument for many years, and the person who can leave a name is not an earth-shattering monster. An old man said with kind relief.
"That is to say, there are so many anti-heaven monsters on Demon Slaying Island, and if you want to rank in the top 100, the pressure is too great, alas!" Some students immediately sighed, the strength of Demon Slaying Island is too rebellious, and the lowest is Tianyuan Realm, and I am afraid that saying it is enough to make some big forces ashamed to death.
In this way, the boy obviously felt a lot better, and he was no longer ashamed. However, because of the boy's failed attempt, no one stepped forward again for a long time. After some elders encouraged him for a long time, a purple-haired teenager stepped forward.
"Let me try!"
The purple-haired boy was obviously a little timid, afraid that he would lose face. Although his performance was terrible, no one laughed at him. No one can say whether he can be stronger than him. Leaving a name on the hero's monument is a lot of pressure.
The eyes of the crowd widened when they saw him walking towards the second pedestal. Obviously, he also chose combat power. At this moment, the purple-haired boy glowed all over, raised his right fist, and slammed into the target.
"Boom!"
A roar rang out, followed by a shocking wave of weather that escaped in all directions. Seeing this, everyone retreated. The punch of the purple-haired boy was more than twice as strong as the previous boy, but everyone looked for him on the hero monument for a long time, but his name was still missing.
It is clear that he also failed!
"This ......"
Everyone was surprised, even such a strong man couldn't squeeze out the last person, how terrible it was. You must know that the purple-haired boy has the strength of the Eight Desolations of the Tianyuan Realm! Could it be that the top 100 on Demon Slaying Island are all powerhouses of the Transformation Realm?
Everyone shuddered at the thought of this terrible fact. Reaching the point of transformation before the age of twenty, what kind of monster should it be?
After the purple-haired boy, many people did not believe in evil and came forward to test it. However, the end result was devastating. They all thought they were geniuses, but they ended up in such a gloomy manner.
"Is it really that difficult to leave a name on the Hero's Monument?" some people couldn't help but wail, but they didn't dare to try again. The successive failures have shaken their confidence. Seeing this, Chi You shook his head and sighed in a low voice.
