Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Knife Is True to Its Name
Ye Chen walked quickly to the door and stretched out his hand to open it, but when he heard the exclamation, he turned sideways to avoid it, and then the fat man fell in, and was pressed by the long box on his back, and there was a faint cry for help from his mouth.
"Take it away, on your back, on your back, take it away, quick, hurry up ......."
It seems that the pressure is not light, and even the sound is gradually weakening, Ye Chen hurriedly picked up the long box, but the weight even surprised him, looked a few times to find the machine spring, and gently pressed the lid of the box to open it automatically, and when he saw the contents clearly, he was directly stunned.
It was an extra-long chopping knife, the blade was five feet long and three inches wide, the edge was slightly curved, the overall style was simple and rough, like an elongated large kitchen knife, the end of the handle was a metal beast head, and the beast's mouth was inlaid with fiery red desolate crystals.
"Fatty, get out of here if you're not dead, be careful that I take your sacrificial knife."
Ye Chen took out a horse chopping knife and slapped the fat man's buttocks.
The fat man was stunned, and then quickly stood up, looked at Ye Chen with his eyelids beating wildly, and peeked at the big knife in his hand from time to time, and gave a thumbs up after a while: "Brother Ye Chen, you and this treasure knife are simply a natural pair, and you are going to be handsome." ”
"Huh!"
With a sneer, Ye Chen flicked the saber in his hand: "Fatty, what's going on, the wizard has drunk too much?" ”
"Brother Ye Chen, don't underestimate this knife, it's a real second-grade intermediate divine weapon, and the wizards do things unexpectedly, and it is said that they have paid a lot out of their own pockets to fill it."
The fat man finished speaking in one breath like an endorsement, and no one would believe it if he said that he was not prepared in advance.
However, Ye Chen was completely shocked after hearing this, this knife was even a grade higher than the Beast Spirit Fruit, and the value was really not low, but this head and weight were more thunderous.
"Okay, forgive you for the time being, and then talk about what else is famous."
Ye Chen closed the door and asked as he walked, came to the table and sat down.
Finally passed, the fat man came to the table with a sigh of secret, sat down and said: "This knife can increase the power of fire attribute battle qi by three percent, and bless the fire magic burst and eruption, the burst is a high-level gain magic, and the split will trigger itself, and the eruption is a second-grade low-level auxiliary magic, which needs to be launched by the user, and the full energy can be used three times in a row, and it takes half an hour to charge each time, and the wizard also comes with a knife name, Changhong." ”
"Changhong?"
Ye Chen looked at the big knife back and forth curiously, and looked at the fat man again in puzzlement: "Has he explained why he is so named?" ”
The fat man smiled mysteriously: "I said it, you will know if you use it." ”
"Oh, then I'll look forward to it."
Ye Chen suppressed his curiosity for the time being, and continued to ask, "By the way, have you received the magic crystal?" ”
A question about the magic crystal, the fat man stood up suddenly, and shouted very excitedly: "If you don't say that I forgot, there is still half a month to be the big competition of the five houses, you were selected to participate in the competition this time, and the discussion outside is crazy, I heard that there are still people who open a bet,......。 ”
Ye Chen's eyes widened and he was stunned when he listened, and the fat man kept talking.
An hour passed in a flash, and the fat man left satisfied, while Ye Chen was still in a daze alone, until another half an hour passed, Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he suddenly got up, took out ten fire attribute magic crystals and put them on the table, wrote a note, and then left the dormitory with the Changhong knife on his back and the iron egg.
Han Batian has been very aggrieved recently, not only was he robbed for the first time in his life, but he was also suspected of being targeted by his father, but he was full of glory today, he pushed open the door with a smile and walked in, and when he saw Han Zhen reviewing, he said, "Dad, you are still busy." ”
Han Zhen looked at his son when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Why are you here, didn't you tell you not to move around and prepare more?" ”
"I know, I'm almost ready, isn't it a big event to come to see you."
Seeing that his father's brows stretched a lot, Han Batian continued: "Dad, can you replace Ye Chen's place, I have a better candidate to recommend to you." ”
Han Zhen became angry instantly when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he barely suppressed it, but Han Batian couldn't see the level of his eyebrows at all, and he was still saying: "That person's father is a magistrate, if he facilitates this matter, he will definitely be able to win it over, and he is also willing to give four thousand gold coins, just to make up for the deficit last time." ”
"Smack", Han Zhen got up and slapped him, and then shouted angrily: "Get out, don't let me see you again until you leave, if you dare to run around, you will break your legs." ”
As the cheers fell, Han Batian covered his face and ran, while Han Zhen was angry, still standing there panting, until he noticed a fluctuation of magic power, he immediately sat down and opened the drawer, took out a letter and looked at it intently.
A moment later, Han Zhen lit the letter on fire, and at the same time let out a cruel and happy laugh.
At noon, in front of the wooden house in the forest, Ye Chen held the Changhong knife horizontally by his side with both hands, and the next moment he held his breath to launch an "eruption", and when the light of the metal beast's head flashed, five flames immediately shot out from the back of the knife, and the huge thrust formed almost made Ye Chen get out of his hand, but he grabbed it hard and was driven to rotate rapidly, until he turned seven or eight times before stopping, barely standing firm and retching again and again.
"Haha, it's fun and good-looking, it does look a bit like Changhong, it's really a genius."
The Xuanming python grinned and sent a message, and Ye Chen was also stimulated, poked Changhong to the ground hard, and said angrily: "Wizard fart, what's the use of this broken knife, take it out and perform a circle." ”
"Smack", the snake tail slapped on Ye Chen's buttocks, and the Xuan Ming python glared at the snake eyes and said: "You only know a fart, use your brain more in the future, this Changhong is a good thing, you can find a stone to try." ”
Ye Chen grinned in pain, hurriedly pulled out the Changhong knife and ran into the woods, found a boulder with doubts, and prepared to try the knife again.
Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, Changhong was lifted above his head, and the beast's head flashed "eruption" immediately launched, and five brilliant flames shot out, which really pushed the blade forward like Changhong, and instantly split the boulder with fire, and slashed straight down without pause, until it penetrated the boulder and cut into the ground before the fire stopped.
"Oxfork."
Ye Chen exclaimed in amazement.
The half-human-high boulder in front of him has been split in half, and the top is directly blown into powder, and the rest of the sections are very smooth, and the power of a knife is terrifying, but this is not a battle force at all, so it is much stronger than a heavy slash with all his strength, and it seems that he really doesn't use his brain.
Soon after, Ye Chen carried the Changhong knife back to the wooden house, and after a deep review, he began to practice, this time not only to practice the double slash, but also to get used to Changhong's unique tactics at the same time, although the task is more onerous, but Ye Chen is happy in it, and very excited.
Under the cultivation of day and night, three days passed in a flash, and Ye Chen could already urge fifty percent of the battle qi to cast the double slash, but it still couldn't be used together with the eruption, but there were other discoveries that the battle qi covered the Changhong sword body was much smoother than the war knife.
After another five days, Ye Chen basically mastered the double slash under the seventy percent battle qi, and occasionally he could connect with the eruption slightly, and he also got a glimpse of some doorways from it, but he also faintly felt that the cultivation of the double slash had fallen into a bottleneck, unless the battle qi improved again, so the next two days would mainly practice the connection.
The first half-day practice was not smooth, the problem was in the half-hour rush energy, until the Xuan Ming Python took the initiative to help to have a solution, it used the snake tail to smash the knife body to replace the effect of the eruption, and the attempt was soon able to achieve nine points of similarity, Ye Chen was excited to practice until late at night, and the moon hung in the sky and happened to connect with the last time, the power that showed made Ye Chen excited, and he was even more excited and sleepless all night.
Early in the morning, on the main square of the main courtyard, two squares, one small and one large, were arranged back and forth, the small phalanx was composed of twenty-nine students, ranked in the front near the high platform, it was the students of this big competition, and on the high platform, Han Zhen was speaking with a black face, and at the same time suppressing the anger in his chest, which was about to teleport away, but Ye Chen did not appear for a long time, and he almost couldn't resist the substitution on the spot.
After a long time, Han Zhen had nothing to say, even the food problem was divided into seven points of emphasis, and the anger in his chest was about to be irrepressible, and at this moment, there was a commotion from the side of the large phalanx, and the two people and a beast were passing diagonally, and when they came to the front of the large phalanx, they stopped and chatted.
One of them was Ye Chen, who was carrying a long box on his back and a war knife tied to his waist, and whispered in his mouth: "Fatty, you have to take care of that egg these days when I go out, don't forget to replace the magic crystal." ”
And the fat man on the side was about to cry: "My big brother Ye Chen, go and gather, I will definitely take care of it, didn't you see that Han Zhen's face was black to the bottom of the pot." ”
"It's okay, if he doesn't want to wait to change me."
Ye Chen patted the fat man casually, and then walked slowly to the small phalanx with Tie Dan'er, found a vacant seat and yawned a few times as soon as he stood down, and then waved his hand to Han Zhen and signaled that he had arrived.
Seeing this scene, Han Zhen almost didn't have a fireball to kill him, and his fist clattered, and even Liu Qi's reminder was angrily glared back by him, and he barely controlled his emotions when he turned around, and then shouted: "Let's go." ”
The group of forty-two people of the Jukai Academy first traveled to the nearest small town by carriage and horse, and the second day they were teleported to the mountain city in the northwest of the empire, and then walked for two days to the Yanwu Valley, where the trip ended.
Along the way, Ye Chen is not alone, because Song Qian, Tang Xing, and Senior Sister Zhao are also all contestants this time, not only giving Ye Chen a lot of care, but also popularizing a lot of news about the five academies, especially Senior Sister Zhao, who is really quite enthusiastic, somehow has a good impression of Ye Chen, and took care of him all the way as if he was his own brother, and moved Ye Chen so much that he almost recognized him as a godsister, if it weren't for Tang Xing's kid making trouble, it would have basically been.
However, Ye Chen also understood that Tang Xing was just a simple mischievous, but he was very frank about people and things, he was very sticky to Senior Sister Zhao and Song Qian, it is said that they have known each other since they were very young and have been together for eight or nine years, Song Qian and Senior Sister Zhao seem to have a marriage contract.
Moreover, in the last two days of the journey, Song Qian also introduced several senior students to Ye Chen, but they were very arrogant and didn't pay much attention to Ye Chen.
Of course, Han Batian was not idle, not only gathered some intermediate students, but also attracted two senior students, and he didn't forget to target Ye Chen if he had anything to do, but he couldn't take advantage of it every time, thanks to Tang Xing's uneven road several times, and even almost started to do it once, fortunately, Han Zhen came forward in time to stop it, and surprisingly scolded Han Batian, but Ye Chen was stunned.
After most of the last half of the day's journey, a mountain range appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the entrance to the valley was clearly visible in the center, which was the destination of this trip, Yanwu Valley.
When they came to the mouth of the valley, a group of brightly armored soldiers stopped the procession and inspected them one by one before letting them pass, and it is said that there was a small army hidden here to guard the valley, which seems to be true.
After a long day's journey, everyone was tired, but the joy and curiosity of reaching the end of the road made the young people feel refreshed, and they walked into the valley with a frolicking sound, and just turned a corner to see a huge stone monument.
However, except for the five senior students and the accompanying instructors, the rest of them were all stunned for a moment, and they all fell into a dreamlike state, as if countless sword lights and sword shadows flew out of the handwriting engraved on the giant monument, and kept slashing in front of them like angry currents.
