Chapter 26: The Snake Shadow 3
There are more than ten large cities in Baisos, according to the fact that each large city has an underground death arena, and each underground death arena is held two or three times a week, as for the country to really promote to the martial artist in a year, there are only one or two, you can imagine how rare it is to be able to see the martial artist advance, not to mention that two top martial artists at the same time hit the level of the martial artist, this kind of thing is even rarer.
So after seeing this situation, there was no more noise in the audience, and everyone waited with bated breath, looking forward to the final result.
Dio has devoted every distraction to it, and the experience of being a martial artist is very important to him, although it is someone else's, it can also provide him with some reference and understanding, which is difficult to see once in terms of how much money and time it takes, just like a bright light hanging on the road that was originally hidden in the fog, allowing people to get a glimpse of the direction of progress.
Later, he was no longer satisfied with observing with his eyes, and the tentacles of his spirit were carefully poked out, ready to find the mystery in another way.
Bang.
At the moment when his spirit came into contact with the phantom formed by the manifestation of his fighting spirit, Dior felt as if his brain had exploded, and a huge pain swept through his entire consciousness space, and for a while his eyes were blurred, and his ears were full of buzzing noises, which took a long time to ease down.
Regaining consciousness, he felt a little wet on his lips, and when he touched it, it turned out that his nose bleeded out unconsciously. Thinking about the reckless move just now, he still had some palpitations, but he didn't expect that the fighting spirit would directly use a spiritual attack to counterattack, and it was so violent, it seemed that he still underestimated the strength of the martial artist, especially the moment when his spirit was detached, he obviously saw that the giant snake phantom beside Prague turned his head to look at him.
Fortunately, there was no Serpent Phantom and no further action against him.
"I remember someone talking about the embodiment of fighting spirit is the mental coercion generated by an individual's ability to reach the extreme, so as to act on the visual nerves of other people and guide the illusions that they see. What that person said was absolutely wrong, this is not just an illusion, it may even be another way of life existence, sure enough, martial artists are not that simple, there are many unknown secrets in this. ”
As he pondered, the situation in the field changed, and the two fighters fought together again.
In the flying sand and rolling stones, outside the battle circle between the two, the phantoms of the two giant beasts were actually entangled together, and they also started a fierce fight, the black and red brilliance flew everywhere, and the momentum was extremely huge, but the battle between the two players could not be seen clearly, and the two black shadows could only be vaguely seen moving quickly behind the smoke and light and colliding.
Comparatively speaking, the phantom of the black giant snake is more real and clear, while the flame war horse is very blurry, and can only barely see a horse shape, which obviously reflects the difference in strength between the two sides.
In vain, black and red points of light rippled in the sky, and then the red brilliance like soap bubbles instantly shattered, turning into countless red raindrops and slowly falling, like the fire of life that was about to be extinguished.
The winner was Prague.
The black serpent stood tall in the rain of red light, proud and unstoppable.
......
As the sun set, the red balls of light in the sky slipped down little by little, and the overwhelming crimson dragged the slender shadows of pedestrians on the road.
Dio carried his schoolbag and led his shadow through the street, to a relatively secluded place, in front of which was a rather antique dark wooden building, on which hung a plaque with the words "Gray Scale Martial Arts Hall".
"That's it. ”
Dio tucked the note with the address in his pocket and walked straight to the building.
From a distance, this martial arts hall looks very ancient, but when you get closer, you find that the paint of many parts of the building has peeled off, and the wood is also very old and speckled, giving people a feeling of declining.
Walking into the front hall, it was deserted, only a young student in a gray uniform was cleaning with a broom.
"Are you here to apprentice?" the sweeping student glanced up, although in a questioning tone, his expression was very certain.
"Yes. Dio nodded.
"Fill in the information, 500 yuan registration fee. The student walked to the front desk to the side, took out a pen and paper and handed it to Dior.
Dior took a pen and paper, looked at it, it was a very ordinary profile form, sat down on the chair next to him, and filled it out on the low table next to him.
Filled out, Dior handed the money and file form to the student, who gave him a badge with the image of a coiled snake, pinned it to his chest, and let him in.
Dio walked through the front hall, and behind it was a square that could accommodate several hundred people, with all kinds of exercise equipment, but there were not many people now, and there were a dozen or so scattered in various locations to practice.
Across the square, there is a row of single-storey houses behind it, which looks like a gray brick wall from a distance. Dio walked to the door of the first house on the left as the student said, the door was open, and it was an empty dojo-style room, a little dark, but there were already twenty or thirty people inside, all sitting on the futon against the wall, quiet, no one made a sound.
The movement of Dior entering the door attracted the attention of many people, but they only stopped at the badge on Dior's chest for a moment and ignored him.
Dio looked around for a while, and saw a strong middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the center of the dojo with his eyes closed, looking at the gray robe he was wearing, he knew that he should be from the Gray Scale Martial Arts Gym, and Dio also saw a few gray scales on the side of his neck, the same scales he saw from Prague in the Death Arena last night, it seems that this is the characteristic that will appear when practicing the Gray Scale Martial Arts Hall exercises.
Looking at this posture, it is estimated that these people are all here to apprentice, and the reason is self-evident. Seeing that it hadn't even begun, Dio found a place with fewer people to sit down and wait.
"Hey, I'm Boromo from the Jermenaga Academy, where are you?" Dior hadn't been sitting for long when someone from the side spoke to him softly.
Turning his head, a young man with blond curly hair and some freckles on his face appeared in his sight, probably seeing that Dior was about the same age as him, so he came over to talk.
Dio knew that the Academia de Jermenaga was one of the best private aristocratic academies in the city, and that those who could enter it were the powerful.
"Pale Sacred Deer Academy, Dio. Dior briefly introduced himself.
"That's a coincidence, my cousin is from the Pale Holy Deer, and I've been there a few times. Boromo smiled in surprise, and sat down next to Dio with the futon under his buttocks, "Your environment is very good, the area is large, and it is much freer than our academy." ”
"It's all good, the faculty and hardware of your college are top-notch, and others can't go if they want to. ”
"No matter how good it is, it's boring. Boromo disagreed with Dior's compliment, "Don't talk about this, by the way, did you come to sign up because you knew about the promotion of Master Prague?"
Master is an honorific title for a martial artist, no matter how young he is, as long as he is promoted to a martial artist, he can be called a master.
"Well, yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing the Prague master in the Death Arena. Dio nodded.
"Coincidentally, I was also in the death arena last night, the power of the Prague master was too strong, I was stunned when I saw it, and after I went back, I thought that I must enter this martial arts hall, even if I can't get the personal guidance of the Prague master, it doesn't matter, as long as I think of being able to practice martial arts in the same martial arts hall as the master. Boromo looked like an idolatrous cultist.
"Indeed, it's a shock to be promoted to martial artist. In a way, Dio agrees with Boromo.
The two are close in age and seem to have similar interests, and seeing that it has not officially started for the time being, they chatted in a low voice, but most of them were Boromo saying that Dior should be reconciled.
More than ten minutes later, three more people came in after Dior, and at this time, the student who had gone through the formalities that Dior had seen in the front hall walked in, handed a stack of file papers to the middle-aged man in the dojo, and then respectfully withdrew.
At this time, the middle-aged man finally opened his eyes and slowly spoke: "It's almost time, it's time to start now." He looked around at everyone present, and then continued: "First of all, congratulations, you will become the new generation of disciples of the Gray Scale Martial Arts Hall this year, and secondly, although Senior Brother Prague is still recuperating from his injuries, he will also take time to give guidance to the outstanding among you......
Heavy breathing sounded in the silent dojo, coming from this group of new students, and other than that, everyone was excited.
The middle-aged man looked at it in his eyes and nodded slightly, this is the most direct impact of Prague's desperate fight and promotion to martial arts, as long as there is fresh blood to join, and there are many people with extraordinary family backgrounds among these new students, so that the sect can better continue and develop, thus reversing the decline that was originally suppressed by other martial arts halls.
"My name is Lynch, I am your chief instructor, in the future, I will be responsible for your daily training, and I will decide your cultivation method according to your cultivation progress, and the best part of you will be taught the mysteries of martial arts and become the core disciples of our Gray Scale Martial Arts Gym. The so-called martial arts mysteries are all kinds of secret techniques that are never allowed to be passed on in the major martial arts schools, and they are the most powerful martial arts secret techniques, and they can even be promoted to martial artists after practice, just like the Prague brothers. ”
Under Lynch's description of the bright future, especially with the example of the new martial artist Prague, the new students present began to be enthusiastic.
"Now I'm going to group you first, it's according to your age group, and the people I call by name stand up, Sham......"
The groups are divided into four grades: under 14, 14 to 16, 16 to 18 and over 18, and Dior will squeeze into the second bracket and be separated from Boromo.
