Chapter 24: Exams
Two days went by in a blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Xia Luo has been hiding in the mouth of the canyon of the yin and yang winds to practice, and the golden rat has come to make trouble from time to time, and at every turn he used the move of "Three-legged Death Step" to beat Xia Luo to a blue nose and swollen eyes, at first Xia Luo still complained, but as the cultivation continued, Xia Luo felt more and more that this "Three-legged Life Killing Step" was very wonderful, and he was even surprised to find that this set of exercises was similar to the previous part of "Resisting the Wind".
Because, these two exercises are known for their speed, and judging from the footwork practiced in the "Three-legged Killing Step", they also apply the potential of the yin and yang winds!
The downwind is the cloud, the headwind is the end, the speed is the up, and the attack is unprepared!
"Three-legged Death Step" is divided into three moves, which are to turn the tide, subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, and the rainstorm is stacked!
Although there are only three short moves, the moves are unpredictable and the potential is endless!
After several battles with the golden rat, he finally touched the method of the first two moves at the cost of being seriously injured and having a blue nose and swollen eyes, and turning the tide was to use the enemy's momentum to attack the enemy unintentionally when the enemy was sneak attacking, and the dragon and tiger were the opportunity to fight against the enemy, with his quick body, he injured the weak point of the opponent's strength, and gave the opponent a fatal blow while the opponent was at a loss!
As for the rainstorm, Charlotte didn't see the golden rat perform it, but he learned in "Three Legs to Kill Steps" that this move is at the opportunity of dying life, taking advantage of the chaos of the yin and yang winds, according to the other party's body technique, looking for its flaws, and exerting a feeling like a storm and a roaring wind.
"Tomorrow is the selection of the clan's spiritual root, with my current style, it shouldn't be miserable, right?" Xia Luo looked up at the head of the fallen West Mountain, sighed, and said with a wry smile.
"Xiao Luo. "The Golden Rat appeared at Charlotte's side.
"Seniors. Charlotte said respectfully.
"I'm going to leave tomorrow, because of some trivial matters in Tianshan Terrace, I can't accompany you to participate, however, I am very optimistic about you, I believe that you will definitely rely on your own strength to win the dignity you deserve, I know that your Ring of the Nightfall is very mysterious, since it is inconvenient for you to say, I will not force you, but I hope you can keep this secret all the time, which is also for your good." "The golden rat whispers to everyone's heart.
"Understood. Xia Luo nodded, he naturally understood the truth that the puppet was guilty and guilty, with his current strength, if the news of the ring of the dead night was spread, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be people with ill intentions who would do something similar to killing people and stealing goods.
"Very good, there is a magic weapon for you here, I hope you will use logistics and hard training to bring out the energy of its body, and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Daokong Sanren in the future. The golden rat suddenly conjured a sandalwood long brocade box out of thin air, and the brocade box opened, and there was a purple long sword that exuded brilliance in the box!
"It's actually the Purple Sword!" Xia Luo's mind suddenly heard the voice of the mysterious old man exclaiming, and Xia Luo's voice also vibrate, and when he wanted to ask what was going on, the mysterious old man was silent.
Xia Luo could only sigh helplessly, and he didn't bother to ask about what the Golden Strange Rat mentioned about the life wishes of the empty people!
For him, as long as he knew that this sword was also a big treasure, and he could improve his strength through this sword cultivation, it would be enough......
The next morning, in the martial arts field.
As soon as the golden sun rose, it made people feel a scorching breath, but this did not reduce people's enthusiasm for watching the Niumang Village Clan Spirit Root Competition.
On the periphery of the cordon of the martial arts training ground, some plainly dressed villagers were already crowded to the top of the board, and they could not spare the slightest sharp gap! They were some villagers watching the excitement and some parents, relatives, and friends of the candidates who participated in the selection competition.
"You are all descendants of the Xia clan in Niu Mang Village, today we are ordered to participate in the annual Xia clan examination and selection, I hope you can give your best performance. In the center of the examiner's seat, a kind old man said to the timid candidates in the field, after all, they are all children who are only seven or eight years old.
The old man's side was Xia Donghou, at this time he still had a hint of arrogance and domineering, only to see him look at the old man with a smile on his face, and then issued an order to the children in the audience, and then the audience burst into applause.
"Let's get started. Beside the kind old man sat an old man with a gloomy expression, who seemed to be familiar with such a scene, and was a little unkind.
Hearing the shouts of the old man, Xia Donghou was really shocked, for the great elder Xia Fang, who was not low in this clan, he was extremely jealous in his heart, after all, his strength had reached the realm of the sixth layer of the martial arts realm, in his eyes, Xia Fang was far inferior to his younger brother, the old man with kind eyebrows and good eyes was easy to speak.
Fortunately, I made some preparations first, and spent some silver taels to buy a deacon who is very popular in the clan and is a disciple of Xia Fang, the deacon is named Xia Dongshi, Xia Dongshi is as his name, and he is also a person who sees the situation, after seeing some silver taels sent by Xia Donghou and learning that the son of the other party is a natural spiritual root, he immediately confidently played the package ticket, saying that he would definitely do his best to arrange his son to study in the best quality church of the clan.
Xia Dongshi walked in front of the children who were taking the exam, and said indifferently, "According to the clan rules of the Xia clan, disciples with foreign surnames are not allowed to participate in the selection of spiritual root disciples in the clan, but what about it, my Xia clan master is kind-hearted, cherishes talents and loves talents, and allows disciples with foreign surnames to participate in this spiritual root disciples, so everyone has to do their best in this competition." ”
Before Xia Dongshi's words were finished, there was a buzzing discussion among the candidates.
There were not many disciples with foreign surnames in the field, and there were about seven or eight of the more than 100 candidates. These children were either displaced here due to famine or war, and they were bullied by some Xia children, and their situation was almost the same as that of Charlotte.
In the past, the Linggen disciples would exclude them, but now that they are given opportunities, they naturally cherish them very much, eager to show their heads in the competition and live a respectable life.
The eyes of some children in the audience subconsciously looked at the girl in the white dress at the front of the candidates, only to see her standing pretty, like a budding lotus flower, exuding innocence and a little arrogance.
The girl didn't pay attention to the fiery gazes of some boys around her, she tiptoed and attached herself to Wang Ruyan's ear, "Mentor Wang, why hasn't this little bastard Xia Luo arrived yet?"
"Who knows? It can't be that you overslept, right? This little bastard, why is he so concerned today!" Wang Ruyan was also worried about Xia Luo's absence at this time, she knew very well what Xia Luo's absence meant to her!
According to the rules of the Xia clan, any candidate who is late for the Linggen Selection Competition, regardless of the circumstances, will be regarded as ignoring the clan and will be permanently banned from participating in any intra-clan competition.
