There was no canteen in the inner courtyard, so Zhao Lin went directly back to his residence to eat.

The living conditions in the inner courtyard were much better than those in the Dancing Elephant Temple, and each disciple had a separate two-entry mansion.

Zhao Lin has already moved in advance for two nights, and he is familiar with the road.

The servant quickly prepared the meal, Zhao Lin was full of food and drink, went out again, came to the Red Banyan Pavilion, and asked Hu Xuancheng to receive a bowl of "Nine Red Soup".

Jiuhong soup is made of nine kinds of medicinal herbs that replenish qi and blood, such as safflower, blood mushroom, and nanzhuzi, because the nine kinds of medicinal materials are red, so it is named Jiuhong.

When the cultivation reaches the blood realm, the qi and blood itself are sufficient, and there is no need to drink medicine every day like the power realm and the qi realm, and you can take it once every three or five days.

Zhao Lin drank the Jiuhong soup, came out of the Red Banyan Pavilion, and met Xiang Bao, Zhong Yewu and two disciples he didn't know.

All four of them looked tired, walked heavily, and looked overworked.

"Senior Brother Xiang, Senior Brother Zhong, two senior brothers."

Zhao Lin stood still.

"Senior brother doesn't dare to be, I heard Xiang Bao say that you are very strong, maybe I will have to call you senior brother next month."

One of the disciples with a thin stature, a pair of mung bean eyes, and a pointed chin said.

Zhao Lin didn't know what he meant by this, and looked at Xiang Bao.

Xiang Bao explained with a smile: "Brother Zhao doesn't know, there is a rule in the inner courtyard, the ranking of disciples does not depend on age, nor does it depend on who starts early. ”

"Whoever is strong is a senior brother, and if you are not strong, you can only be a junior brother."

Only then did Zhao Lin understand that he thought that person was in a weird yin and yang situation just now.

Xiang Bao introduced Zhao Lin to the two of them.

The thin little disciple who spoke just now is called Hou Qian, and he has been in the inner courtyard for four years, and he is an old qualification, and his skills are also quite good.

However, Hou Qian is known for his agility and poor strength, and Yang Lin is very dissatisfied with this, so he asked him to cultivate his strength with the newcomer Xiang Bao and others.

Another disciple is named Li Liang, who was originally a disciple of the outer court, and with his hard cultivation, he became a late bloomer, and at the age of twenty-four, he broke through the blood realm and became a disciple of the inner court.

Then, Xiang Bao asked, "Brother Zhao, how did you feel on the first day?" ”

Zhao Lin thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's good, it's not the same as the Dancing Elephant Academy, Yang Yuanshou has a lot of ideas." ”

Xiang Bao bared his teeth and said: "It's just that the means are a little more radical." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Lin, "You are good, I let the spotted bee sting lie in bed for a day on the first day......

After chatting for a while, Zhao Lin said goodbye to the four of them, returned to the mansion to wash up briefly, and then went to bed.

In my sleep, the sixty-four hexagram azimuth map appeared in my mind for a while, and a dense number of spot-tailed wasps appeared.

Following.

Zhao Lin came to the stone room and began to practice footwork.

After a while, Wei Hong, the teacher, walked in and looked at it for a while, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I can initially master the shuttle step in one day, it seems that I have worked hard, try it sooner?"

"Good!"

Zhao Lin agreed, and sped up his movements.

After walking dozens of steps, Wei Hong raised his eyebrows, and Zhao Lin knew that he had stepped on the wrong step, so he hurriedly stopped.

"It's normal, take your time." Wei Hong encouraged.

Zhao Lin continued to practice hard, increasing his speed little by little.

In the next few days, in addition to practicing the Guihai Technique, he spent most of his time practicing footwork.

Gradually, you can trot through all the hexagrams of the shuttle step, but you are still far from running at full speed.

On the fifth day, Yang Lin called Zhao Lin to the courtyard and asked him to fight the spot-tailed bee again.

"It doesn't matter, just follow the shuttle footwork." Wei Hong admonished.

"Okay."

Zhao Lin took a deep breath, went through the shuttle steps in his mind, and then stabbed the honeycomb with his sword......

Airplanes!

The spot-tailed bee burst out of the hive and pounced angrily.

Zhao Lin's body was slightly sideways, and his feet naturally walked diagonally along the "Dayou" position, stepping to the "Qian" position, and then returning to his sister, Lin, no vain......

Strange to say, Zhao Lin was worried that he was stepping in the wrong direction and not walking fast, but between advancing and retreating, he made the spotted-tailed bee pounce several times.

Whenever the spotted-tailed bee was about to flapp its wings and increase its speed, Zhao Lin would change its direction and appear in an unexpected position, and they would also have to change the direction of their flight.

After walking more than ten steps, there was no spot-tailed bee close.

Zhao Lin's confidence increased greatly, and the three-edged swords in his hand stabbed out one after another, each sword could cut down one or two spotted-tailed bees.

However, although the individuals of the spot-tailed bees had low intelligence, they seemed to have wisdom after gathering, and they quickly dispersed and surrounded Zhao Lin from all directions.

Seeing that the spot-tailed bees around him were gathering more and more, Zhao Lin had to speed up his pace, and his feet began to make mistakes.

Finally, a spotted-tailed bee landed on his shoulder and stung.

Then came the second, and then the third......

Zhao Lin had a spirit beast to absorb poison, and his hand did not stop, and he continued to swing his sword to kill the spot-tailed bee.

The corpses of the bees fluttered down.

After about a quarter of an hour, everything was calm.

Zhao Lin glanced at the three-edged sword, and the spotted-tailed bee was pierced into a string on the tip of the sword.

"How? Does footwork work? ”

Yang Lin walked over with a smile on his face.

Zhao Lin was convinced and nodded vigorously.

"My requirement for the disciples of the inner courtyard is to be able to survive a hundred breaths, and you have a poison-resistant physique, so the requirements are naturally higher."

"When will you be able to kill the spotted tail unscathed, and when will it be passed, how?"

"Obey the instructions of the head of the hospital."

……

Suddenly, at the end of the month, there were suddenly more people in the inner court.

Zhao Lin often encountered them when he went in and out of the practice room, or when he went to the Red Banyan Pavilion to receive medicine.

Judging from the way they dressed, these people were also disciples of the inner courtyard like themselves.

However, the cultivation is much higher.

Most people's cultivation is above the first level of the Blood Realm, and there are even two who have reached the third level of the Blood Realm.

Zhao Lin has been in the inner courtyard for more than half a month, and he has a general understanding of the situation here.

Yang Lin examines the cultivation of the school's disciples at the beginning of each month, and these people must be the disciples of the inner courtyard who were guarding the mountain outside before, and now they have rushed back to participate in the assessment.

"I heard that only by becoming the top ten in the inner courtyard can they be eligible to participate in the martial arts competition, so I just took advantage of this assessment to see how strong they ......."

The first day of August.

The disciples of the inner courtyard gathered in the school Yang, and the head of the courtyard, Yang Lin and the four teachers, stood in the center of the field, standing opposite to everyone.

The disciples formed a semicircle and spontaneously stood according to the ranking of the most recent assessment.

The disciple who came first in line was named Xiao Jin, who was the oldest and strongest person in the inner courtyard.

He is twenty-eight years old this year, and he will be thirty years old in two years, and he is stuck within the age limit of the martial arts court, and he has taken a big advantage in this regard.

You must know that although some people are talented, they are born at the wrong time, and the strongest twenty-nine or thirty-year-old will be staggered with the martial arts dynasty.

In second and third place are Miao Tianfeng and Lu Zhenglong, two famous geniuses of the sect.

They all entered the inner court before the age of twenty and performed well in last year's martial arts competition.

What's even more commendable is that both of them are only twenty-four or five years old, and they can still participate in two martial arts competitions, and the head of the family and the capital of the academy have high hopes for the two.

The disciple in fourth place is named Yao Chong, although the actual combat is not as good as Miao Lu and the others, but the cultivation is one level higher, and only he and Xiao Jin are the blood realm triple in the inner courtyard.

These four people have controlled the top four in the inner courtyard for many years, and they can hardly be shaken.

Xiang Bao's brother Xiang Shaofeng is ranked fifth.
