Chapter 35: The Candle

Just contributed a wonderful competition, at this time the head of the coach naturally agreed, and the students sitting around also burst into applause again, looking forward to an equally wonderful battle.

Zhang Junxue raised her head, looked at Pei Ye and widened her eyes slightly, and then walked into the ring without saying a word under his wave of hand, and saluted one by one.

But the result of this battle was unexpected - Pei Ye was defeated by only the ninth move.

This result made many people's eyes widen, and the audience exchanged ears.

After being stunned for a while, the head shook his head and smiled.

In fact, this defeat was also expected by Pei Li himself - when he was fighting with Zhang Junxue before, the other party was steadily better than him, and now although he is in the realm of two lives, it is still the same sentence, the two numbers of two and four, there will not be much difference in the face of "sixteen".

Then why can't he use his sword skills to bridge this gap in strength in front of Zhang Junxue like he did when he defeated Xiao Qiu?

The reason is actually helplessly simple - her knife is too big.

So wide, so long.

Xiao Qiu's sword is very simple, that is, heavy and hard, and he is better than him in dismantling moves. In the face of this kind of four lives whose strengths are in the sword, Pei Ye can overwhelm the opponent's strengths.

It is true that Pei Ye relied on his higher swordsmanship attainments to contain and destroy the opponent's simple sword path, and then won the three aspects of combat strategy, opportunity grasp and exquisite sword moves.

But when facing Zhang Junxue, the wide knife face made it impossible for her to find a gap at all, and her knife style was not only wide open and closed, but also flexible and flying, without being bulky at all.

This caused Pei Ye to be difficult to stop and dodge when she attacked, and Pei Ye was often like an iron wall when attacking.

There's no way to win.

So Zhang Junxue successfully won with strength.

Pei Ye withdrew his sword, and the two saluted each other.

The result of such a victory for the three of them is quite interesting, and there is something to ponder. The head of the instructor simply used these battles as teaching materials and gave a lesson on "the key to victory" to the students who were still discussing in the audience.

In fact, the head of the sect rarely gives guidance on weekdays, but this time he was interested and spoke for more than half an hour. The content of this section is extremely close and rich, combined with the rich fighting experience of the head coach himself in the first half of his life, which is not easy to say, but it can be described as solid.

Pei Ye listened carefully, this kind of fist-to-flesh fighting idea was an experience that Zhu and Ming could not provide to him. Grandpa Yue had this kind of experience, and it was definitely more valuable, but Pei Ye didn't have a chance to listen carefully.

In fact, this lesson talks about the core point, that is, "strength and weakness, only after playing to know", cultivation for martial arts is just the cards in your hand, how to play these cards, often determine the victory or defeat of the battle.

Therefore, the way to win lies in knowing oneself and knowing the other, as long as you understand enough and are fully prepared, the weak is not impossible to defeat the strong.

Therefore, our gantry class is useful!

"Good!"

In the midst of the joy, the head of the sect finally took out three ginseng pills, and one was given to each person, and then the students dispersed and each found one to fight.

After the competition was over, the head of the sect rewrote the list according to the ranking, Pei Li, Xiao Qiu, and Zhang Junxue tied for the first row, and hung the wooden board back on the announcement wall on the side of the martial arts field.

And promised the lottery in public - the next time Xiaobi, whoever beats the other two will be given ten taels of silver.

Pei Ye saw that Zhang Junxue next to him suddenly raised his head, and at the same time reached out and touched a small bulge in front of his waist.

Pei Ye had noticed the protrusion of the woman's waist before, but only at this time did he take a closer look - wasn't this the small cloth bag with the seal that the woman did not leave when she met at the inn?

Now it was clumsilyly sewn to the belt by a clumsy thread.

Pei Ye retracted his gaze, at this time Xiaobi ended, it was already dark, and there was still an hour behind him to summarize and rise, but just now the head of the sect has been talking for a long time, before Pei Ye and they fought a few more times, the time has been consumed, everyone simply trained for two quarters of an hour, and then dismissed the class.

The students went back to their houses, and Pei Ye said goodbye to a few people, and walked out of the martial arts hall alone.

When I left the inn in the morning, the morning air was cool, and when I stepped out of the martial arts hall in the evening, the heat had dissipated, and I walked on the street, the cool breeze was blowing, and the water and air flow of the Moon Lake were scattered in the air, and the night sky was cold and clear, and it was also like a lake, and a few sparse stars were immersed in it.

Pei Ye stretched his tired and smooth muscles.

Pedestrians on the street were already very scarce, Pei Ye walked back to the inn, pushed open the door, and the shopkeeper was burning an oil lamp lying in front of the desk brushing and writing something.

Pei Ye walked over and took a look, this time it was not the account book, but the book that registered the information for himself last night, and the shopkeeper was moving the records to a new book.

Pei Ye leaned up: "Shopkeeper, what are you busy with?" ”

"Isn't it a copy, I'll hand it in the day after tomorrow."

"Where?"

"Jiaozhou Yabei, where else can I hand it over?"

"Oh, this has to be handed over all the time, I thought that only when something happened would someone come to investigate."

"It used to be like that." The shopkeeper dipped his ink in ink, lowered his head and said while copying, "I started to change it three years ago, and I have to hand it in once in two months." But to be honest, it is reasonable, the state government should keep a backup, so as not to send any cases and be destroyed and altered. ”

Pei Ye nodded: "That's right." ”

The shopkeeper raised his head: "What's the matter with you, the room money for tomorrow night hasn't been renewed." ”

"Continue." Pei Ye took out a small grain of silver and put it on the counter, and then probed and said curiously, "I remembered something, shopkeeper, you said last night that there is no need to register if there is a cultivator, so what if they commit the crime?" ”

"The registration is for fear of people flowing around for no reason, and the people who hold chivalrous mounds are all registered by Xianrentai after verification, what serious things can't be found, why do you want to commit a crime?"

"There's always a crime." Pei Li said, "If these people go to other places to commit crimes, won't they come and go without a trace?" ”

"Maybe."

"How's that to be?"

The shopkeeper sighed and pointed to his face, "Do you think I look like Lord Thorn?" ”

"I wonder you probably know."

Pei Ye walked upstairs, just took a step, and suddenly retreated, knocked on the counter, and looked at the shopkeeper frowning and raising his head.

"By the way, shopkeeper, I've had two lives."

——

Back in the room, after washing, Pei Ye sat on the edge of the bed and took out the ginseng pill.

It's a yellow-brown pill, and if the definition of a food pill is expanded enough, then it can even be among them.

But in terms of quality, purity, repetitiveness, or the amount of energy it contains, the Danshi would not admit that this rough stuff had anything to do with the "Wind Dew Pill" that the immortals were pursuing.

"Yunxia rubs the white moon, Xiaohui weaves dew", if this sentence describing the food pill is placed on the pill in Pei Li's hand, there will probably only be one word "kneading" left.

But this kneaded pill does have a small function, Pei Ye swallowed it according to the sect leader's words and water, and soon a hot current rose from his abdomen.

But the effect of this elixir will not be so immediate, it will melt in the stomach, gradually diffuse in the flesh and blood, and then after the body refines, it will be absorbed by the meridian tree.

This process can take one to three days.

Pei Ye touched his hot stomach, and then moved down to the dantian and patted it.

Second birth.

From small buds to small seedlings.

Just as the Divine Seed Vein Tree that gave birth to the Dragon Monarch in the womb at that time increased every time, the efficiency of absorbing the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth increased by a single section, and at this time, the gift of the second life in the dantian was also different from that of the lifetime.

At that time, the Divine Seed was a guest in his womb, and he could not understand how this mechanism worked, but now that Yulu was growing as a part of his body, he could clearly perceive the reason for this simultaneous increase in efficiency.

It's very simple, because Yulu's absorption of Xuan Qi is based on "branches".

In the cultivation of the meridian tree as a system, in the realm of one life, two branches must be provided for growth, in the realm of two lives, four branches must be supplied, and when it comes to three lives, there will be eight branches waiting to be fed.

Therefore, for a normal martial artist, the slower he enters the realm the further he goes, because although the efficiency of the body's "nutrients" to provide is slowly increasing with cultivation, the "shortage" of the meridian tree is constantly doubling.

The growth rate of the two sides is completely disproportionate.

As far as being able to cultivate one's own temperament, this situation has been greatly alleviated.

During his lifetime, there are two branches that need to grow, and while they ask for the body, each of them will absorb the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth by itself; When it comes to the second life, there are four branches that need to grow, and in the same way, each of them will absorb the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth by itself.

Of course, the cultivation speed will still slow down as the realm improves.

Because in the realm of a lifetime, when Yu Lu used Xuan Qi to cultivate to the progress of one percent, Pei Ye may have completed the remaining ninety percent for these two branches.

With two-way efforts, promotion is easy to come by.

But when it came to the seventh life, Yulu could still use the same time to achieve the same progress, but what was waiting for Pei Ye to be replenished became one hundred and twenty-eight branches.

At that time, it may be necessary to wait for Yulu's cultivation to reach ninety percent, and Pei Ye will be able to rely on his own cultivation, swallowing pills, eating qi and other means to make up for the remaining one percent.

At that time, maybe Pei Li's own cultivation didn't make much sense - leave it all to Yulu himself, he might as well use this time to learn a few more swordsmanship.

But that was a long time later, and at the moment when there were only a handful of branches in this meridian, it was not the efficiency of Yulu that absorbed Xuan Qi that determined his cultivation speed.

Not even quite the intensity of his own workouts.

What really determines his current cultivation is actually the absorption of the dragon's blood in the Heart-Cutting Glass.

- This thing is really fast!

It has only been seven or eight days since Pei Ye broke through the seed and became angry, and he has reached the realm of second life.

And this is entirely because those dragon blood is too strong to condense, and all the time is spent on dismantling, if you open it up and let it be devoured, you can jump one after another within a few breaths.

Although this kind of good thing is not available today, there is a similar piece of good news.

After the second birth of Yulu, this thriving meridian tree also became more powerful.

Pei Ye opened the sword box and released the Heart-Cutting Glass, put his hand on the sword body, and suddenly a strong force was transmitted to his hand. The Heart-Cutting Glass trembled slightly, as if there was a slight "click", and a dark blue crystal twice as large as before peeled off from the inside of the sword body.

The absorption is more powerful.

Pei Ye carefully incorporated it into a split, turning it into a refreshed energy for himself.

You can take the pill and absorb the Xuan Qi, but only this kind of thing can give birth to the full pleasure of the body and the spirit.

It's truly a delicacy like no other.

Pei Ye closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to change a position.

At the same time, the good news on Liuli's side is that with the wear and tear of the outer layer of dragon blood, the structure of the entire dragon blood seems to be a little loose, and when Pei Li absorbs it, he obviously feels a little lighter.

Pei Ye crossed his legs on the bed, put his hand on the glass, and was quiet for a while.

The Cicada Sparrow Sword had already finished reading, and he didn't think for a while that he could do anything else by the way.

In fact, yesterday's stay was his first night in the state city, and life here was far from inertia.

He remembered that there was still a copy of "Knowing Souls" in the package that he had never opened, but he had only passed it in his mind for a while, and he was not interested in reading it for the time being.

He had been immersed in cultivation all day today, and he was already a little tired at this time, after all, he was not a cultivation machine that could run forever.

So he didn't think about anything at all, Pei Ye leaned back against the wall, closed his eyes and began to think about this fulfilling day.

Today, he practiced "Cicada Sword" for the first time, and the speed of entering the realm was far beyond his expectations.

In more than an hour, he learned the three-style cicada sword and consolidated that one-style finch sword.

The so-called treasure of the town hall is nothing more than that.

The corners of Pei Li's mouth are slightly upturned.

Then he defeated the top of the list head-on in the name competition of the first martial arts hall - a four-life martial artist who can be called a strong opponent. Later, Zhang Dingyun told himself that it was the leading sword material in Zhengshou County in recent years.

The subtlety of the clumsy sword movement was vividly reflected by himself in this battle.

I played really well this time, and it was very good.

If it is in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will definitely be the extent that the audience will raise their arms.

And what made him defenseless was that at the moment when he put away his sword and retreated and bowed after the battle, a long-lost tremor suddenly climbed up to his skin.

At that moment, his waist bent down, but his heart was lifted high, and what made him have to tighten the corners of his mouth was the unanimous and enduring applause behind him.

The Longmen class of the Changdao Martial Arts Hall can be regarded as a collection of talents in the entire Bowang Prefecture, right?

What about the entire Bowang Prefecture, who is the winner?

Who would have thought that a nobody, who came out of the middle of nowhere, would win the first place?

Suddenly a little spurting in his heart, Pei Ye opened a pair of shining eyes, straightened up from the wall, and opened his mouth slightly with a smile.

He looked around the room and closed his mouth again.

The hut was dim, only the crackling of an oil lamp, and the night was as silent as a shadow.

The mood slowly fell, Pei Ye leaned back against the wall again, this time he didn't close his eyes again, only quietly looked out of the window, under the window lattice, a small black cat closed its eyes and squatted there quietly bathing in the moonlight.

Pei Li had long known that it was very uncomfortable to swallow grief alone, but now for the first time, he found that it was not very good to be happy alone.

Thank you to the leader of the alliance for the reward from the boss of Qilixiang live! Thanks to the owner for the support! I was in too much of a hurry to update yesterday and forgot to thank you.
