Chapter 37: The Phantom of the Wind
Before the time came, Gao Yun waited in the square early.
When he came in the morning, he didn't look closely, and then he realized that the square was divided into three areas.
The largest area on the right half was used by the disciples to compete, and there were twenty-five rings in the orderly place, where Gao Yun and Sikong Qing had competed before.
In the lower left corner, there are more than a dozen futons, apparently for disciples to meditate and pranayama and practice qi.
In the upper left corner, there are many targets or dummies in a relatively large practice area, and there are already some disciples practicing spiritual tricks there.
Gao Yun picked a futon next to him and meditated on breathing.
Master Chen came out and saw Gao Yun pranayama with a complicated expression on his face.
Although it started a little late, it is still a good material, but it is a pity......
Thinking of his current situation, Chen Shi couldn't help but sigh.
"Father!" Chen Da appeared behind him and said respectfully.
"Hmm, you take Gao Yun to the Spirit Pagoda to choose a few spirit recipes, and then let him practice there. ”
"Yes. Is it up to him to choose?"
"Hmm. There aren't a few copies anyway, and there's not much time. ”
"Father doesn't have to be so pessimistic......"
Without waiting for him to continue, Master Chen raised his hand and shook it.
Chen Da sighed softly, bowed slightly, and walked away.
"Senior brother, didn't you say that you should practice qi first. Gao Yunqi said.
Chen Da muttered: "You have a good foundation, so the master arranged for you to choose some spiritual techniques, and when you have almost mastered the spiritual techniques, you can go to the tower to cultivate." ”
Gao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't expect to be able to start formal cultivation so soon.
They walked into the first floor of the Spirit Tower, Chen Da gently pushed against the wall on the left, and with a rumbling sound, a dark wall appeared.
"Senior brother, isn't this door locked?" Gao Yun looked at the slowly opening stone door and said strangely.
"Originally, there was, but then I got rid of it because it was too troublesome. ”
"What if the spirit trick in it is stolen?"
Chen Da smiled: "No." Master is in the courtyard all day, and if someone steals, he will definitely find out. Besides, there aren't a few spiritual recipes in it, alas. ”
Gao Yun unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the senior brother's face showing a little sad and lonely.
Chen Da led Gao Yun into the dark room, the wall was lit with dim firelight, and rows of stone bookshelves came into view.
"It is said that the shelves here were once full of spiritual formulas, but that glory is gone......
Chen Da put his left hand on the bookshelf and said quietly.
Gao Yun counted it, there were a total of six bookshelves, each of which was divided into ten layers, and if it was full of scrolls, there would be thousands.
Now, only the middle level of the outermost bookshelf was sparsely stocked with a few scrolls, and the rest were all empty.
"Why is this happening?"
"Master reached the Ninefold Peak five years ago, and as long as he can break through to the Star Rank, he can be promoted to a Mid-Level Mentor, but he regrettably failed to survive the Tribulation and fell directly back to the Eightfold Realm. For a while, the court was cold, and many disciples switched to other cultivation academies. Chen Da couldn't help but clench his fists as he spoke, with an angry look on his face, "Although Master returned to the Ninefold Realm two years ago, it was equivalent to starting from scratch, so there are few spiritual recipes, I'm really sorry." ”
Gao Yun said with a smile: "What did Senior Brother say, I am already grateful for being able to come in and cultivate, where do I dare to be too demanding? Since I came to Chen Yuan, this is my home." Let's work together to win glory for Chen Yuan. ”
"Alas, if only every disciple thought like you. Pity...... In another month and a half, it is estimated that some more people will be leaving. ”
Gao Yun's eyes widened.
"And why?"
"In a month and a half, there will be an in-academy competition, and at that time, if our academy can't rank in the top four in the team competition, it will be downgraded to a beginner-level cultivation academy. ”
"Downgrade?"
Chen Da nodded, simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and explained to him carefully. Gao Yun hurriedly sat down.
"The cultivation academies below the star level are divided into three levels, the beginner level, the low level, and the middle level. Every two months, a training academy of the same rank has to compete once, and if a training academy is eliminated in the first round three times in a row in a team competition, then it will be demoted to the next level. And our institute was eliminated in the first round of the last two competitions, so this time ......"
"I see!" Gao Yun nodded, "Then as long as we survive the first round, it would be fine." There must be a lot of fivefold disciples in our courtyard, right?"
Chen Da smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of having only fivefolds? There are many more fivefold disciples in other academies than us, and they also have more spiritual tricks, and some are also assisted by pills, so we are completely at a disadvantage in the competition." ”
Gao Yun frowned, looked down and suddenly saw his bracelet, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It suddenly occurred to him that there were still a lot of pills and spiritual formulas in it. Anyway, I don't need so much, so I go back at night to pick it up, and then donate the extra to the hospital.
Chen Da stood up, took out the few remaining spiritual recipes, and stuffed them to Gao Yun.
"There are only three copies in total, so you can take them all. ”
Gao Yun hurriedly excused himself and said, "What kind of thing is this! If other disciples want to cultivate, won't there be no more!"
"It's okay, I still have a few copies over there, I'll just move over and put them tomorrow." ”
Gao Yun blinked, and suddenly thought that there were still a lot of spirit recipe scrolls lying in the Gift Bracelet.
......
Chen Da left the secret room with Gao Yun, said a few words, and went straight to the fifth floor.
Gao Yun came out of the tower and looked at the three scrolls in his hand.
"Thunder Light Sword, second-order swordsmanship!"
"Draw the opportunity to lead the illusion, the second-order illusion magic trick!"
"Heavenly Light Divine Eye, Second-Order Pupil Technique!"
Thinking that he had only just learned the Biluo Sword Technique and the Wind Phantom in his hand, Gao Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I don't have time to cultivate other spiritual techniques at all, so I'd better secretly return it tomorrow.
Gao Yun put the scroll away and was about to walk forward, when he suddenly saw Sikong Qing coming towards him.
"Senior Brother Sikong, aren't you cultivating in the house. Gao Yunqi said, "Why did you come to the tower?"
Sikong Qing said with a smile: "It's also boring to always cultivate in one place, and it's not bad to change places once in a while!"
He looked at Gao Yun and blinked unnaturally.
The cultivation in the house is only believed by you if you are so stupid, you are obviously just sleeping and lazy! But even the beginner disciples are so powerful, then I have to work hard!
Sikong Qing hugged his fist at Gao Yun, and ran in as if he were flying.
Gao Yun arrived at the square, bowed to Master Chen standing on the steps, and came to a secluded corner of the practice area.
After Chen Da's introduction in the morning, Gao Yun already knew that in addition to some fixed targets, there were also some special devices in this practice area. And now he is going to use one of the special devices.
I saw him slowly walk to a row of copper mechanism dummies, and when his hand was commanding, a wisp of aura was injected into the dummy's body.
There is a complex set of mechanism devices in the body of the mechanism dummy, and once it is driven by the aura, it will listen to the command of the aura importer like a living person, and do some simple offensive and defensive actions.
Although it is wonderful, there are very few disciples who use dummies to cultivate, and this is mainly due to the following reasons.
First of all, the highest strength of the mechanism dummy has reached the middle stage of the fourth rank of the Chen rank, while most of the disciples in the low-level cultivation academy have reached the fourth or fifth level, and the dummy lacks a cultivation effect for them.
Secondly, although the strength and speed of the dummy are acceptable in the battle, it does not carry aura when attacking, and does not use spiritual tricks, which is quite insufficient as a combat drill.
The most important thing is that the Courtyard Challenge has a ranking system, as long as you defeat someone who is higher than your own rank, you will get the opponent's ranking, and there will be a ranking reward every weekend, compared to defeating a dummy, you will get nothing.
Therefore, in the small area where Gao Yun was located, there were twenty dummies, but only one disciple was there.
However, Gao Yun's strength is only threefold, and what he has to practice is the Phantom of the Wind, so the mechanism dummy is very suitable for him.
Standing three feet in front of the dummy, Gao Yun stared at it firmly and ordered with a little nervousness.
"Attack me!"
As soon as the words fell, the dummy slammed straight and slammed into the chest, with a faint sense of oppression in the fist!
