Volume 1: The Sword Rises from the East Chapter 9: The Day of Ethnic Refinement
After the beginning of summer this year, the sun became unprecedentedly hot, and the ground was scorched hot after several days of high temperature exposure.
But on this dog day that can almost heat people to death, the servants of the Gu family are very busy, building a greenhouse in full swing, preparing elixirs and drinks to relieve the heat.
This is the biggest family activity of the Gu family before Tianwu discusses the sword-disciple selection, also known as the clan refining day.
The Tianwu Sword is very important, and its final ranking can even directly affect the status of a family or sect in Bujian City, so no matter whether it is the four major families or the rest of the small families and sects, none of them dare to despise it.
The disciples who participated in the Heavenly Martial Sword Discussion naturally had to be elites who had gone through layers of selection.
"You are the fifth level of imperial qi, and with my consent, it stands to reason that you don't need to participate in the selection anymore, but after all, you are a member of the Gu family, and you still have to go through the motions on this occasion."
In the corridor, Gu Yi led Gu Ming and slowly walked to the school grounds.
"I heard that a few days ago, Gu Yuntao went to your house to trouble you, but what injuries did you suffer?"
Gu Ming hurriedly waved his hand: "The disciple is fine, the elder can rest assured." ”
Gu Yi nodded: "I heard about you and Tang Yusu, before Tang Yusu and Gu Yang got married, you did have the right to fair competition, but you also know Elder Zuo's temper, you offended him this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have peace in the future." ”
Gu Ming didn't speak, but Su Jia in the sea of knowledge was endless.
"Whew! What is the arrogance of a small deflated three in the early days of the gods? I want to let my aunt and grandmother come back then, and I will ensure that he is beaten until there is no hair left! ”
Gu Ming showed a helpless wry smile.
Although Gu Yi didn't say it explicitly, he could roughly hear that this time it would not be simple.
After seven days of hard training, Gu Ming finally broke through to the Moyun Double.
Converted into the cultivation method of the human race, it is about the fivefold level of imperial qi.
Coupled with Sujia's "off-site assistance", the overall strength should be even higher.
But even so, there is still a big gap between him and the Divine Realm, and he must not be taken lightly.
……
When the two arrived, the Gu family disciples were already neatly lined up in the school grounds, waiting for the elders to review at any time.
Next to the school grounds, there are two other greenhouses, one for the family elders to rest, and the other for the pre-selected disciples to watch the battle.
The other two pre-selected disciples were already seated, one was Gu Ming's cousin of the Nine Layers of Imperial Qi; The other person is a disciple of the Gu family, a disciple with the surname of the sixth level of imperial qi.
As for those who are still waiting to be tested, they are all about one or two.
"Gu Ming, here!"
A jade hand stretched out from the viewing seat, and it was Tang Yusu who came to watch the battle.
Gu Ming smiled back and walked straight in front of the disciple queue.
When the disciples in the audience saw Gu Ming, they all exclaimed.
"Gu Ming? Isn't he mortal? How did you get to the spectator seats? ”
"You don't know yet? Gu Ming got a chance in the Evil God Ruins, and now he is a fivefold powerhouse, and he was directly selected by the right elder! ”
Gu Ming didn't care about these gossips, just kept glancing.
Soon, he found Gu Yang in the team, who was also watching him.
The strange eyes made Gu Ming hairy.
"Miss Tang, how many days have you been living comfortably?"
Gu Ming sat down beside Tang Yusu with some embarrassment.
"Well, Elder Yi treats me well, it just so happens that the Tang family is busy these days, and the marriage has not yet been completed, so I will stay here for a few more days."
Tang Yusu nodded, his delicate eyes and peach blossom-like smile made Gu Ming's face burn.
He always felt that after that day, Tang Yusu's attitude towards him was no longer so respectful, and his tone was much more cordial.
"Before the trial begins, first of all, I would like to thank the disciples of each room who are here today for taking time out of their busy schedules."
Elder Zuo Gu Yuntao walked out of the shed and stood still on the high platform, overlooking the disciples: "Today, whether it is a disciple of the Gu family's own clan or a disciple with a foreign surname, you can go on the field to defend and choose any number of sword servants to challenge, and the final winner will be decided by me and Elder Right whether we are eligible to participate in the Tianwu Sword Debate after March." ”
"All the disciples who are successfully selected, regardless of their surname, can enjoy the key training of my Gu family, learn the supreme exercises of the Gu family, and similarly, the amount of Yulu, pills, and forging materials that they can receive every month in the future will be doubled."
Such a rich reward made all the disciples present blush.
Gu Yuntao smiled slightly, glanced at Gu Yang in the team, and then glanced at Gu Ming in the greenhouse.
Boy, see if you're not dead this time?
"Now, which disciple wants to come out on top?"
"I'm coming!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Yang raised his hand confidently, and then strode to the front of the stage, stretching out his finger to choose.
Gu Ming's expression froze.
Gu Yang was in the queue, and he didn't see it too clearly.
But at this time, he clearly felt that Gu Yang's strength was more than twice as strong as that day in the ancestral hall.
In just seven days, his strength has doubled, and Gu Ming doesn't know how Gu Yang did it.
But it is not difficult to guess that Gu Yang is preparing to defeat himself!
But just when Gu Ming was about to play, Gu Yang just randomly selected a dozen or so sword servants.
After several sword servants were selected, they did not hesitate at all, and flew to the stage one after another.
The sword servants are all dead soldiers trained by major families or sects, and they will not have the slightest doubt in the face of the master's orders.
Even if it is to die, it is willing.
But at the moment when everyone thought that Gu Yang was going to draw his sword.
Gu Yang unsheathed his sword in public, threw it under the stage, and faced it with his bare hands!
As the gongs and drums sounded, the sword servants chose to strike first and stabbed at Gu Yang from all directions.
But Gu Yang just bent down, and went around to the corner of the attack of the first few sword servants.
Immediately, several extremely fast punches burst out like lightning, all of which were in the center!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three sword servants fell to the ground with blood spurting blood almost simultaneously, struggling a few times before they stopped moving.
Several sword servants tried to surprise from behind, but the moment their blades stabbed Gu Yang's back.
An internal force actually burst out from Gu Yang's body, shaking them back!
Then, Gu Yang reflexively punched a few times, and in an instant, a bloody hole was opened in the bodies of these sword servants!
"Heavenly Hidden Talisman!"
The Gu family disciples were all shocked.
This Heavenly Concealment Death is the Gu Family's supreme defensive technique, and only the most elite disciples can learn it. Gu Yang is just a double realm, how can he be qualified to learn?
A few more moves, and the rest of the sword servants were also taken down by Gu Yang like a wreck, all of them were killed in one move.
The cruelty of the means made many sword servants in the audience break into a cold sweat.
Although they are dead soldiers supported by the family, they are human beings after all
If you are human, you will be afraid.
"Gu Yang, the exercises you performed, but the Heavenly Hidden Protector was decided?"
Gu Yuntao noticed the gossip around him, and deliberately got up and asked.
"Back to my father, exactly," Gu Yang did not shy away from it: "When I passed by the Gu family's Qingyun Hall some time ago, I happened to catch a glimpse of a disciple practicing this exercise, so I went home and practiced it on my own, but I didn't expect to master it so quickly." ”
Gu Yuntao stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Watching the father and son sing and harmonize, Gu Ming only felt disgusted.
Although the Tianyin Talisman is not a high-level exercise, it is not something that can be easily learned by any cat or dog, with Gu Yang's talent, he can learn it after two glances?
Gu Ming is categorical and unbelievable.
The only explanation is that Gu Yuntao took advantage of his position to secretly teach Gu Yang this exercise.
colluded with him again, and staged such a play on the day of the clan refinement, which convinced the disciples.
What a good calculation!
"Then I declare that in the first game, Gu Yang won, defeating the number of sword servants eleven people!"
Gu Yang moved his wrist and smiled easily: "Father, just now, it was just a warm-up, and I still want to fight again." ”
Gu Yuntao smiled, thinking that he was finally here: "Yes." ”
Gu Yang raised his hand again.
Seeing Gu Yang's fingers, the sword servants all turned pale with fright, bowed their heads and trembled.
If you are chosen by someone else, you may only be knocked down, and your life can be saved.
But if Gu Yang is selected, I am afraid that there will be no chance of life!
Gu Yang's finger is like an impermanent soul hook, whoever hooks will have to accept the fate of death.
But suddenly, Gu Yang turned his fingertips and pointed to Gu Ming not far away!
"Gu Ming, I want to challenge you!"
The audience was in an uproar!
Gu Yi immediately got up: "Nonsense!" The Clan Refining Day is used to train the Gu family's disciples, how can they fight each other? ”
"Why should the right elder be alarmed? There is nothing wrong with learning and communicating between juniors, and Gu Ming is the person you fancie, and he is the fifth level of imperial qi, are you still afraid that he will have an accident? ”
Gu Yuntao smiled coldly, and glanced at Gu Yi with slanted eyes: "Or are you afraid that he will die at the hands of Gu Yang?" ”
Gu Yi was speechless for a while.
Tang Yusu also wanted to persuade Gu Ming: "Gu Ming, this kid is clearly not well-intentioned, don't agree......"
Unexpectedly, Gu Ming took the initiative to get up and walked out of the greenhouse.
"Elders don't have to worry, isn't it just a martial arts competition, I should go down!"
With that, he jumped into the ring and gave a fist salute.
"Young Master Gu Yang, please!"
