Chapter 1: The Cold Regions of the North
A snowflake tossed and fell, touching the tip of Jiang Yanliu's nose and melting.
Jiang Yanliu opened his eyes, he was in a flat land covered with snow, this was the northern realm, and even if the sun took care of it, it was not enough to clear its cursed eternal winter.
Exhaled a breath of heat, a blood-red tentacle behind Jiang Yanliu rose from the ground, sneak attack and smashed down, as if he knew in advance, he jumped sideways to dodge, before he landed, there was more movement around his body, dozens of tentacles squeezed out of the snow together, and ten meters away from him, dozens of times larger tentacles fluctuated in the snow, many staggered, unable to distinguish the specific number, affecting the trees in the distance to tremble, rising and pressing Jiang Yanliu's sky, so that he could not escape.
"It's the Blood Abyss Prison again, Master, can't you have some new tricks?"
With a natural expression, Jiang Yanliu was not worried about these tentacles attacking him, a circle of small black formations in his hands gradually converged, as he dodged another attack, stepped on the tentacles and jumped up, pinched and exploded the formation with one palm, the black airflow dispersed horizontally, penetrating the tentacles that had formed an encirclement momentum, and with Jiang Yanliu's control, all of them dived into the ground, and the huge black Xuanao array gradually emerged.
Even if those tentacles blocked out the light and plunged the space inside it into darkness, Jiang Yanliu felt everything with the black array he cast, and easily dodged the attack.
"Don't be complacent so early, the superposition and changes of the formation, can you understand it?"
As soon as the words fell, just below the Na Na Xuan Array, an even larger scarlet formation slowly took shape in the snow.
Feeling the changes outside, using his black formation, Jiang Yanliu found the eye of this Blood Abyss Prison, but he was not in a hurry, he had suffered several losses in the master's hidden formation, and he had to be prepared to backhand.
Suddenly feeling a force of gravity, Jiang Yanliu immediately built a formation above him, and just a moment before he fell, he pointed out and unfolded a brown formation inside the tentacles, which involved the formation to the ground to form a certain connection, and controlled the previous black formation to rotate in reverse, the powerful force was reversed, and the tentacles were also affected, pointing straight to the sky, unable to attack with the will of the control.
When the light came again, what could be seen were two identical brown formations in the air and on the ground, they were both gravity pressure arrays, different from the reversal on the ground, which was obviously several times more than the structure above, and the gravity generated was very different, but there were also two more one-sided enchantments above than those on the ground, one plane provided a fulcrum, and one arc bent towards the sky, and Jiang Yanliu stood on it with his head facing the ground, and this drainage enchantment offset most of the pressure.
"Hehe, Master, is it okay?"
Before hearing the master's response, all the surrounding tentacles exploded into blood mist, enveloping Jiang Yanliu's whole body, leaping into the blood mist, staring at the formation eye of the Blood Abyss Prison below, and the enchantment and formation behind and the black formation below dissipated into the origin qi and gathered into his hand, attached to his arm.
Gathering the origin qi in the body to enhance the strength is the usual technique of the monk, the extent of the enhancement depends on the monk's realm, and the speed depends on the proficiency of the control of the origin qi, which is the basis of all exercises.
A punch slammed into the ground, but it was almost a little, Jiang Yanliu couldn't get close, looked down, his arms, legs, and body were wrapped around more than twenty red iron chains and dragged back, looking along the chains, the blood mist behind him was gone, and all the chains came from a photoelectric light.
It is impossible to break through that photoelectric light, the gap between himself and the master is too big, and he can only lose if he touches it hard.
"Twenty-one re-slashes!"
Jiang Yanliu gently spit out the words, and entered the ground through the power in his hand, fluctuating and spreading out from under his feet, gradually showing twenty-one black points around him, his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the red iron chain lost its target, but once again locked on Jiang Yanliu, who appeared not far away, and attacked them all, just leaving a distance, the target disappeared again.
Jiang Yanliu returned to his original position, and slammed his palm on the red formation, and with this blow, the red formation twisted and swirled and contracted, squeezing and deforming the surrounding space, forming a black spot in the middle, sucking him in along Jiang Yanliu's arm.
"Damn!"
The heart is suffering, but at this time there is no way to avoid it.
Closed at one point, quiet for a moment, the black dots swirled and unfolded, the diffused power dispersed to the sky, returned to nature, and Jiang Yanliu was also thrown out and fell to the ground.
A dark red air flow stopped in front of Jiang Yanliu, dissipated and unfolded, and a figure gradually became clear.
Jiang Yanliu patted his ass and stood up, looking unwilling: "Master, you are cheating, and you actually set up a mystery in the array." ”
The handsome man in front of him, dressed in a dark robe, with long hair flowing and oblique eyes, is the master in Jiang Yanliu's mouth, Hai Yunfeng.
Compared with the master, Jiang Yanliu looks immature, even if it is the same style of Xuanyi, it is much inferior, the only thing that can be inferior is that the masculinity brought by short hair is much stronger.
"Then have you thought of how to hide the mystery in the eyes of the array?"
"Well......" Jiang Yan got up and thought: "Generally speaking, the array eye will be hidden in an inconspicuous place, if you want to make a fuss on it, you will inevitably be found by the formation breaker immediately, if I don't use the Qi Enlightenment Array, if I want to explore the location of the array eye arranged by the master, it will take a lot of energy, I vaguely sensed the aura of the enchantment when I attacked just now, didn't the master impose a layer of enchantment inside the enchantment, and then build a formation within the enchantment?" ”
Hai Yunfeng touched his apprentice's head, and his face was also filled with a slight relief: "Yes, the apprentice is smart, with your current attainments in formation and enchantment, this matter is not difficult." ”
"Then I would like to thank Master for teaching me this exquisite technique!" Jiang Yanliu bowed down to the master and thanked him, and after getting up, he asked the master with a hippie smile: "Then Master, my current strength can be a teacher, right?" ”
Hai Yunfeng, who was relieved just now, became cold when he heard this: "What? Tired of staying with the teacher? Or do you hate your Aunt Han? ”
"No, no, no, it's not such a master."
Hai Yunfeng still knew a little about the affairs of the northern realm, and he also knew why Xiao Yanliu would say such things.
The North is a general term for a region, and it is also a country with a huge field, although Xiao Yanliu grew up in the North, but after all, he is an outsider, and it is easy for a discerning person to see that he has been ostracized, and he has taken classes in the North School that cultivates children's cognition, but he has only one friend, and this person happens to be the only daughter of the King of the North.
After calculating the time, the enrollment registration of the Ultimate Academy has only been two months, and I have heard that this little princess yearns for the Ultimate Academy, and the entire northern royal family is preparing for a voyage.
"You want to go to the Ultimate Academy?"
"Master, you really know everything, little sister, she is going, and she also invited me, it just so happens that I am tired of seeing this snow, go and take a look at the legendary Great Xia."
"Since you want to go to the Ultimate Academy, do you know what the record of the most and least students is in the Academy?"
Jiang Yanliu lowered his head, in fact, he had never heard of the Final Yan Academy at all, he was just thinking about the agreement with his little sister, there was something to be done.
Looking at the appearance of the apprentice, Hai Yunfeng shook his head:
"The largest number of students enrolled in the college is 982 years before the beginning of the century, 96 people in the 22nd session, and the number of applicants is more than 7 million, and the least is 9 people in the 5237th class of the new century 4233, and less than 600,000 people go to the test."
Jiang Yanliu, he didn't even need to count, he felt scared just by listening to the gap in this number, and the Ultimate Academy actually had a history of nearly 6,000 years.
"There are really 1 out of 10,000 people who can enter the Academy, there are more than 7 million people in the 22nd class, and only 600,000 people in the 5,000th class, is there anything to do with the catastrophe that Master said?"
"The direct cause." Hai Yunfeng nodded: "With such a selection rate, do you still dare to go?" ”
"Of course!" Jiang Yanliu tilted his head to look at the master again: "Master is so powerful, has he ever entered the Final Yan Academy?" ”
At the end of the Academy, Hai Yunfeng was stunned in place, no matter how Xiao Yanliu waved his hand in front of him, he didn't pay attention to it, until Xiao Yanliu stopped, and then slowly spoke: "I agree with you to go, but I have three requirements, you can meet them, and you can set off." ”
If he can go to a new place to play, Jiang Yanliu can't ask for it, let alone three, even thirty, he will try his best to complete it.
"First, the techniques I passed on to you, the enchantment and the formation, after arriving in Great Xia, all the enchantment breaking methods, the formation related to the advanced length, do not use it in front of outsiders, even if you want to use it, you must ensure that no one will see it."
Jiang Yanliu's eyes widened when he heard this first request, since he was four years old, he was proud of his comprehension of the two major techniques passed on by his master, he couldn't use enchantments, and the formation could only use the basic length, which was equivalent to cutting off his own hands, for those combat exercises, he didn't study them at all, only Aunt Han usually relied on the physique he trained, and this had to be admitted to the Final Yan Academy, and the difficulty coefficient was rising straight up.
"Second, I won't go to Great Xia with you, you can't mention that you have a master over there, the forces on the Great Xia side are complicated, you have to remember that there is a source organization, you can't provoke, let alone join."
"Got it."
"Third, it's a small task, do you still remember the broken sword in front of the door?"
"Hmm." Jiang Yanliu scratched his head a little apologetically and muttered: "I still remember when I was a child, I touched that sword in the pit, and the master opened my ass and spent it, and since then I have walked around when I go out in vain." ”
Hai Yunfeng's cold face heard Xiao Yanliu's muttering words, and chuckled, his aggrieved appearance made him feel a little self-reproachful, and gently patted Xiao Yanliu's head: "It's the teacher's fault, haven't you always wanted to know your life experience?" That remnant sword has some relationship with you, pull out that remnant sword, this small task is considered to be completed, and your life experience may also be understood. ”
"My background?"
Jiang Yanliu recalled that he grew up with Master and Aunt Han, and in this cold and snowy place, he was curious about his parents, and the answer given by Master was only the words "still alive".
"Can I find my parents?"
Hai Yunfeng opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed the words back, looking at his apprentice, and reluctantly felt reluctant.
"Perhaps."
