After sending Frank back to the inn, Kong Ming slowly walked through the city at night, Frank's words woke him up from the broken love, yes, he didn't have any capital to go through the same ups and downs as others, to pursue those rich rich girls, he only had the sword on his body that could be seen a little bit "Dragon's Wrath" , There is also the strength of the great swordsman who used medicine Cui Fa obtained from death, if he doesn't work hard, then maybe he will still have to soak in wine for the rest of his life, and he may be like before, let people catch him in the army to be cannon fodder, although now his level is a little higher, but the strength of the great swordsman on the battlefield can only be said to be a little more than others to survive, and it does not represent something. What he needed now was to cheer up and forget about the woman who had hurt him, as Frank said, it was Hu Siyue's loss, not his loss, why should he suffer? For a woman who abandoned him? People don't want him, why should he suffer for her? Forget it.

After returning to the rented house, Ku Ming took a bath, changed all the clothes on his body, and burned them all, including the monster skin he had been wearing. Lay down to sleep, and fell asleep after a while, this was the first time in a few months that Kong Ming had slept so peacefully.

Early in the morning, Kong Ming was cultivating in the court, since that day, he had never cultivated again, and the long-lost mood was once again injected into his heart, maybe only the sword could accompany him in this life, and everything else was empty. "Toot, toot!" there was a knock at the door, and Kong Ming didn't stop, and the landlord had already walked over to open the door. Kong Ming sank his heart into the sword, using his own spirit to experience the induction of the sword, and replacing his own thinking with the perception of the sword. That is a description of the use of the sword in the fire dragon fighting spirit, after reaching the level of this great swordsman, people should be able to combine the sword with the person, to the point of the unity of the human sword, is the culmination of sword skills and fighting spirit, and can further use the guò sword to touch the edge of the rules, to reach the sword master level of the rules, and can further master the sword god level of the rules, so at this time a wise teacher and a psychic sword are very necessary for the swordsman. The corrosion and self-abandonment of alcohol have made Kong Ming's cultivation drop a lot, and his body is not as strong as before. Through the perception of the sword, Kong Ming faintly felt that the three strong men were approaching him, it was a kind of martial artist's intuition, it was three strong men, without any hostility, Kong Ming felt that two of the magic groups were surging, one was red, the other was blue, and the remaining one was a fighting figure, cyan, they stood side by side, looking at Kong Ming's wholehearted cultivation, and there was no movement, Kong Ming faintly felt that the fiery red magic group in it had a familiar feeling, it should be Frank and the other two were very unfamiliar。 Frank made him feel a fire-like warmth, while the blue made him feel a burst of coldness, and the cyan made him feel an ethereal feeling, no wonder the fire dragon fighting spirit requires people to use the sword to sense, thinking that the avenue is easy to simple, only by exploring the origin of the attribute will they master the rules.

Frank woke up early in the morning from yesterday's wine, thinking that Kong Ming agreed to go to slay the dragon together, and liked it very much, so he brought two partners to see Kong Ming early, let Kong Ming know, and discuss the itinerary with Kong Ming by the way. As soon as they came in, they saw Kong Ming standing there with his eyes closed and cultivating, and they didn't mean to disturb Kong Ming, because everyone knew that no matter who they were, they hated being interrupted while cultivating, so the three of them could only stand there quietly and watch. What made them feel strange was that although Kong Ming didn't see them, it was as if Kong Ming was looking at them, and it was a feeling. The two partners next to him looked at Kong Ming like this, and there was no dissatisfaction, especially the martial artist, who had a sense of excitement, because this was also an opportunity to learn from each other compared to the martial artist.

After looking at them for more than ten minutes, Kong Ming Tong Guò Sword took his attention away from them, and then Tong Guò Sword communicated with those fire elements in the air, and Tong Guò improved the sword's perception ability. Slowly, he felt a trace of the rules of fire, that is, the explosiveness of fire and the warmth of fire. Although this is only a small step, many great swords can be experienced or known, but knowing and experiencing are completely two yards, why are there so few people who have advanced to the Sword Saint of the Great Sword Master? It's not because they don't know the rules of fire, but they know it, and the experience of the rules of fire is another matter, the difference between the great swordsmen is not the difference in the fighting spirit of the low-level swordsmen, but whoever uses the rules of fire a little more, the more he uses the ability, the stronger the ability, and the other way around, once he completely masters the method of use, then he is the level of the sword master. Of course, when it comes to the Sword Master, the fighting spirit on their bodies is naturally much higher than that of the Great Sword Master, which is also the mastery of the rules. That is to say, from this moment on, Kongming really began to enter the origin of the true meaning of cultivation, the rules. Slowly, Kong Ming "woke up" from his cultivation, and the moment his two eyes opened, it was as if there were two fires shooting out of his eyes, shooting towards the three of Frank. Seeing Kong Ming's eyes, the other two people who were not familiar with Kong Ming were also relieved for a while, at least they knew that Frank had found a strong helper for them. After seeing Kong Ming finish his cultivation, Frank greeted him very enthusiastically and walked towards Kong Ming: "It's been so long, it's the first time I've seen you cultivate, I thought you were born to be a great swordsman, ha! Frank pointed to Kong Ming's two companions and said, "Kong Ming, the Great Sword Master of the Fire Clan, a drunkard, at least I have seen him ten times, nine times he was drinking, and the other time he fell asleep after getting drunk. ”

"Ha, ha!" Frank's introduction amused the three of them, and it also shortened the distance between the three of them, and then he pointed to the two partners and introduced: " Feng Yiming, the great sword master of the wind system, my classmate at Huayuan Comprehensive University in the imperial capital, this time he came out to practice with us, his sword skills of the wind system are superb, and he is now practicing with the sword saint Alant, making rapid progress, and the best is speed, putting him and the wind thunder leopard together, I don't think the wind thunder leopard may not be able to outrun him, haha, this one is Garland, the water magician, my junior sister, the daughter of Teacher Alant, her one-handed ice magic makes many people feel cold, especially me. When Frank said this, he flashed to the side, as if he was afraid that Garland would give him a blow, looking at Garland's embarrassed smile, Garland seemed to be used to his statement, plus Kong Ming was on the side, his brows were furrowed, but he didn't pay attention to Frank. Feng Yiming looked at Kong Ming on the side, and said with a smile: "Brother Kong, don't care about Frank's statement, this is purely boasting, this time we followed Teacher Alante here to watch the dragon slaying, one is to increase more knowledge, and the other is also to know more powerhouses in other places and have some exchanges with others, after all, only communication will promote the rapid growth of our martial arts and magic." ”

"Isn't it just the three of you?" asked Kong Ming strangely.

"Of course, it's not just the three of us, in addition to the teacher, we have a total of six people, including four magicians and two swordsmen. The other three were on the teacher's side. ”

"The Sword Master of Alant is a swordsman, how can there be a student of a magician?"

"Oh, you misunderstood, only I was a disciple of the teacher, and the others were all students of the Imperial Capital Huayuan Comprehensive University. ”

"Are the Great Swordsman and Magister still students?"

"Hehe! Huayuan Comprehensive University is a comprehensive university integrating magic, fighting spirit, military, management, etc., by two god-level powerhouses, generally only accept intermediate mages and senior swordsmen and above or the corresponding level of powerhouses to study, once you reach the magician or senior swordsman and above The corresponding powerhouse can graduate, of course, you can also choose to stay in the school for a higher level of study, then you can choose a tutor. A mentor can be a Juggernaut or a Holy Magister. A tutor can take multiple students, and a student can also choose several tutors, of course, the tutor is from different departments, for example, some students are dual martial arts cultivators, and some swordsmen can also have several tutors when they are also studying military or assassin or so on. There are a lot of these cases. My mentor is the Swordmaster of Arant, and everyone else's mentor is different. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hwawon Comprehensive University is the cradle of talents in the Hwawon Empire, because from the establishment of the empire to the present, most of the magicians, swordsmen and officials are its students. It is also the only high-level magic martial arts school in the country. ”

"I see, so people like me can also enroll?"

"Of course, but you have to pass the guò assessment, which is the school call assessment in spring and autumn. However, people like Mr. Kuaki can enter even if they don't have to take an exam. ”

"Why?"

"Because you are a great sword master, as long as you are not a person with extreme thoughts, you are generally fine, and of course your starting point is higher than others. Hehe, I talked too much, I almost forgot the purpose of this visit, Kong Ming, we heard that you are also willing to join our team, so today we are here to invite you to live with us, because we are going to leave in a while, although the time has not been set, but I think it will not be too far away, because that kind of thing is generally more urgent, once the decision is made, we will set off soon, and I think a few of us should need some time to get familiar with each other's battles, only in this way, when they slay the dragon, we can protect ourselves from being affected, what do you think"Feng Yiming said. Obviously, among the three, he is the leader.

Kong Ming thought about it, if a few people were together, he could also ask the sword saint for some things that he didn't understand, after all, his knowledge was too narrow, and many people thought that things that were normal would become difficult problems when they came to him, just like Feng Yiming said After all, only communication can promote the rapid growth of martial arts and magic. Rather than doing penance here, it is indeed better to ask for more advice. Besides, there is nothing in himself that is worth thinking about these people. Maybe they can also enter what they call Huayuan Comprehensive University through their relationship, because although Kong Ming is said to be a magician and a great sword master, what he desires most in his heart is to learn military affairs, he wants to use sword and blood to make his hometown free, so as to get rid of the cruel rule of King Kari, otherwise, even if he is a god-level powerhouse, he is just a high-level warrior, and he can change himself but not other people, what is the use of this? Thinking of this, Kong Ming nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

Feng Yiming felt very strange, as did the other two, "Don't you have to clean up your things?"

"That's all I have. Kong Ming patted the sword behind his back, looked at the three of them, and said with a smile. At this time, Frank and the others reacted, and they also smiled awkwardly, and Frank said: "You drunkard, shouldn't you take all the money to exchange for wine?"

"Haha. Everyone laughed together.

After a while, Kong Ming and them came to a better hotel in the city, and met the other three of them here, one of them was called Ye Tiancheng, the great swordsman of the earth system, who was good at defense, one was called Yan Qingping, the mentor of the light department, and the remaining one was the magic master of the electricity system, called Nong Fengling. When the six of them were together, Kong Ming realized that their ages were only around thirty years old, in this age, like Kong Ming's village, it is a great achievement to reach the junior swordsman, and more people just stop at this level, and they have reached the level of ordinary people's lifelong dreams at such an age, it can be seen that they are either extremely talented, or have family training, or have good chances, but Kong Ming is more inclined to the second idea, because it is impossible for the six people to be extremely talented or lucky, only the fact that they have the support of their families behind them is a little more reliable. But if it's the second type, then it can be said that they are just a group of flowers in a greenhouse, and this combat power is very difficult to say, because they usually just rub each other, and they have never seen the scene of life and death, and such people are one level lower than them, or even powerless people can kill them under certain circumstances. From this aspect, Kong Ming slightly understood why they had a Sword Master's teacher to lead the team, but they still had to invite Kong Ming to join the team, it was nothing more than asking Kong Ming to teach them some ways to survive without the Sword Master making a move.

After those people saw Kong Ming and Frank come back together, for some reason, Kong Ming always felt that they didn't like Kong Ming as a foreign stranger very much in their hearts, this was purely the feeling of a swordsman, and Kong Ming couldn't say why. After those people greeted Kong Ming, they didn't say anything anymore, just exchanged between a few of their classmates, and they looked like they were still unsatisfied. Seeing this situation, Kong Ming didn't bother others, but just went back to the room prepared for him and practiced. Kong Ming sat on the bed, took out the sword from behind his back, put it between his knees, stroked the sword with both hands, slowly closed his eyes, and once again sank his mind into the sword, the anger of the fire dragon. At this moment, Kong Ming once again felt that the connection between the sword and the human mind, the attribute of fire contained in the sword, and the fire fighting spirit of Kong Ming were integrated and blended with each other, and then, with the sword as the center, the fire element contained in the heaven and earth was the eye, nose, and mouth. For the ear, to perceive the heaven and earth, as if the sword between the sword is one of Kongming's hands, is Kongming itself, the scope of perception with the deepening of Kongming has slowly increased a lot, although Kongming has his eyes closed, but all the scenery is like really seeing, even if there are no eyes to see clearly, but it makes Kongming feel more keen, even the conversation of their people can make Kongming hear clearly, but Kongming does not have the habit of listening to people, so Kongming after looking at it, he left his attention from them, Kongming went all out of his way to connect the sword with the fire element in the air, and communicate with each other。 What Kong Ming didn't expect was that Kong Ming's ability to communicate with these elements so quickly was inseparable from the favorable factor that he was a magician himself. Because as a swordsman, the most important thing is to cultivate the fighting qi itself, and although the elements have the effect of increasing the cultivation of the fighting qi, just like cultivating the water fighting qi on the sea is faster than cultivating it in the desert, but the swordsman itself has no communication with the elements, just passively accepting the entry of the elements and the combination of the fighting qi, while the magician is different, the magician's meditation is used to communicate and absorb the elements in the air, and then become its own magic power, and the two combat principles are not the same, the swordsman is to fight with his own fighting qi, so the capacity of the fighting qi is the level is sometimes the key to directly determining the outcome of the battle, but the magician communicates with the elements outside through the magic power on the guò body, and the spell resonates with it to generate great energy to fight. Therefore, the magician puts more emphasis on communication with the elements, and the swordsman is his own practice. It is precisely because of this situation that the mental strength of ordinary swordsmen is much lower than that of mages of the next or even second order, which directly restricts the communication between swordsmen and the elements. This is a well-known truth, but many people choose to practice alone in order to be single-minded or to gain strength faster, or because they don't have the ability of a magician to give up, because magicians and swordsmen of the same level have much less time to double cultivate with demonic martial arts, this is the general trend, only people like Kong Ming who unconsciously double cultivate or have some great perseverance will choose demonic and martial arts dual cultivation. And the advantage of this kind of dual cultivation is most directly reflected in the fact that when advancing to the Sword Saint and Sword God, it is much easier to separate the independent cultivation.

The time of cultivation is very easy, when Kong Ming slowly experienced the spirit of the sword, he suddenly felt a cyan energy mass containing huge energy was approaching the hotel, it was a very peaceful energy, Kong Ming did not feel a trace of hostility, at this time, Kong Ming knew that it was a sword saint, this is purely a swordsman's intuition, there is no reason, just after Kong Ming felt the sword saint for a while, the sword master also sensed Kong Ming, because now Kong Ming is silent in the cultivation, in the elements his fighting energy is as dazzling as a sun, even the sword master of the wind system is very easy to sense。 Kong Ming felt that the Sword Master had passed by Frank and the others, and then walked towards Kong Ming, although there were several walls between them. At this time, one thing flashed in Kong Ming's mind, that is, if he was being chased and killed, how to hide the breath on his body, thinking of the thief's stealth technique, thinking not only from the appearance of the stealth, but also from the stealth of the fighting spirit in the body, only in this way can he assassinate a guy who is higher than his own level, and he wants to escape from those sword saints, stealth is undoubtedly the best choice, after thinking about it, Kong Ming can no longer maintain the state of combining the heart and the sword, and the perception of using the sword has also decreased a lot. Slowly opening his eyes, Kong Ming pondered the various circumstances of the sword and the heart, and why he withdrew from this situation once he was distracted? How can this be applied to actual combat? But in the future, before he could analyze it further, he heard a knock on the door, and Frank said outside, "Mr. Kong Ming. ”

"Come in. Kong Ming said lightly, there was no trace of dissatisfaction between his words, although because of Frank's disturbance of his cultivation, but because he had been learning sword skills in the army, at any time, there was a trace of instinctive vigilance in his heart, which also made him unable to fully enter the state of cultivation, and even affected his cultivation.

After the door was pushed open, Frank came in, and seeing Kong Ming sitting on the bed and cultivating, he said embarrassedly, "I don't know, did you disturb your cultivation?"

"No, I've just finished practicing. Kong Ming said with a smile. "Seeing that you are so happy, I wonder if there is something good?"

"Oh, our teacher, the Sword Master, is back, and he knows that after you are here, he wants to see you, but he doesn't know ......?"

"I'll go. Kong Ming saw Frank's hesitation and continued.

"Hehe, please come with me. After Frank finished speaking, he led the way in front, and Kong Ming followed him out. In the middle of the road, Frank Tongkong briefly introduced some of the preferences and taboos of the Alant Sword Saint, it turned out that the full name of the Alan Sword Saint is Alant. Hurricane, is a member of the Imperial Capital Tempest family, the Wind Department Sword Saint, now in the Imperial Capital Huayuan Comprehensive University, as a teacher of the advanced class, mainly teaching the students of the senior sword master and the great sword master, it is said that there are no less than ten sword masters under his hands, you must know that the students in the Huayuan Comprehensive University are generally students from all over the country to study, among them there are many geniuses, even if this can teach such a result is not easy, you must know that the sword master and the great sword master are not only the difference in fighting spirit, and it is the understanding and application of rules, this kind of thing is easy to say but very difficult to do, just like everyone knows that 1 + 1 = 2 is as easy, but why is it equal to 2, which needs to be through how many levels to prove that, and how many people can understand, so countless great sword masters are still stuck in this level even if they have the teacher and professor of the sword master, or in other words, the sword master is the difference between a smart person and a genius, and the sword god is the difference between a monster and a genius. So Alant Tempest was a very good teacher relatively speaking.

In Frank's introduction, the two of them had come to a house, the door was open, and the five people who were with Frank were divided into two teams and stood on both sides, from among them, the past was a middle-aged man who seemed to be only in his forties, Kong Ming knew that the age of the people in the continent was impossible to see on the surface of many times, because whether it was a martial artist or a magician, once he reached the sixth level, that is, a strong person after the level of a senior swordsman or a magician, then his age would increase greatly, and his aging would also slow down a lot, based on the age of one hundred and fifty years old for ordinary people, then their age is twice that of ordinary people, and after reaching the Sword Saint, it will be able to reach more than six hundred years old, but as long as he reaches the god level, then his age can be said to be very long, and the god-level powerhouse only falls in the confrontation with the strong man of the same level, and I haven't heard that there is a god-level powerhouse who dies of old age, maybe there is, but no one spreads it. Therefore, there are many god-level powerhouses living in seclusion in various parts of the continent who don't know what era they are. The middle-aged man was wearing a very luxurious dress, mainly cyan, with a hint of gold, embroidered on his chest two intertwined blue and gold long swords representing the sword saint powerhouse, Kong Ming knew from the mouths of other mercenaries that this is a kind of respect and mark for the strong in the entire continent, once he reaches the saint-level powerhouse, he can embroider this kind of mark on his own clothes, let others know, and at the same time have the meaning of inspiring others to cultivate. One sword is the Great Sword Master, the two intersecting swords are the Juggernaut, and when it comes to the Sword God, there is an all-gold wreath behind the two intersecting swords, and the others also have corresponding markings. It's just that the magician's is replaced by a magic wand, while the assassin has a black background and a dagger, the thief has a hand, the elf has a branch, and other fighting spirit-based professions such as knights are replaced by swords. The color on the sword or wand represents the corresponding attribute. Therefore, Kong Ming saw that the Alante Sword Saint was in his forties, and his true age was not something that Kong Ming could know. And judging from the dress on Arante's body, this sword master is a person with a lot of face, or some vanity, otherwise no one will wear such clothes on the street all day long, in other words, this kind of clothes is like a dress, which makes Kong Ming think that this sword master may have developed such a habit since he was a child, worthy of being a member of the Tempest family, and he is so flowery everywhere, but no matter how Kong Ming guesses, it has become an indisputable fact that he joined this team mainly composed of teachers and students.
