Chapter 44: The Nine Branches

Night, quietly coming.

Lu Fan sat in the room, cultivating his Flame Golden Body.

Martial arts are endless, and there is no time to waste money, Lu Fan has become accustomed to using cultivation instead of sleep.

The power of heaven and earth surrounded by Lu Fan was like a furnace, forging his body.

Breathe, exhale.

There was a slight mist rising from his body, strengthening his body bit by bit.

Since he had the ring given by his family, Lu Fan felt that his cultivation speed had significantly accelerated. Its effect is actually better and more obvious than the ice core meteorite, which Lu Fan did not expect.

There was a knock on the door.

"Lu Fan. ”

Lu Fan slowly opened his eyes and put away his qi.

got up and opened the door, and Lu Ming's figure came into view.

Lu Ming said lightly: "I'm going to the lobby to eat something, can you come along?"

Lu Fan said: "Okay, until now, I haven't entered a drop of water, it's time for something." ”

Hearing that he was eating, Xiao Hei, who was immediately asleep, also woke up and jumped directly onto Lu Fan's shoulder.

Lu Ming looked at Xiao Hei and said, "Be careful that you desolate beast eats you poor." ”

Lu Fan chuckled.

Closing the door, the two of them walked towards the lobby.

At this time, there were many guests eating in the lobby, and Lu Fan and the two found a table to sit down and ordered two small dishes at random.

The two drank wine, and Lu Ming said slowly: "Lu Fan, if the two of us don't deal with each other at home, we won't deal with each other." But when you go out, you are also a child of the Lu family, so you still have to unite and cooperate. The big picture is important, and I always feel that tonight is not safe, so we might as well just sit here for the night. ”

Lu Fan said: "What kind of insecurity law?"

Lu Ming said slowly: "The shopkeeper of the Beast Control Zhai that I met during the day is estimated that most of them will not give up, and it is very likely that they will send someone to trouble us at night." Don't think I'm joking. When I was at the academy, I saw a student who coveted the blade of a senior brother and deliberately designed to kill that senior brother. The outside world is far more sinister than the inside of Jianglin City. ”

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, he was not very afraid of the shopkeeper of the beast control zhai. Even if the other party is the strength of the Outer Gang Realm.

Lu Fan was more interested in the affairs of the Martial Arts Academy, and said, "The Martial Arts Academy actually has this kind of thing?"

Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Of course there is." You'll know when you go, it's a place where a man eats people. Forcing you to grow fast, or you will be eliminated. ”

Lu Fan said: "Oh, can you tell me about the Martial Arts Academy? ”

Lu Ming said: "Yes." First of all, I want to sue you. Martial Arts Academy, not what you think, a simple academy. It is divided into nine branches, like nine sects. What is taught in each branch is different. Moreover, the strength of each branch is also divided into high and low, and when you go to the martial arts academy, there will first be a round of competition and distribution of new students. New students who are good will be assigned to the better branches, while poor students will only be assigned to the worse branches. You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Lu Fan nodded understandingly, about the matter of the branch, he knew the one-yuan branch that the master wanted him to enter, and he didn't know anything else. I have never heard of anything about the assignment of the competition.

Lu Fan asked out loud, "Among the nine branches, which one is the strongest?"

Lu Ming said with a smile: "Your goal is quite high, and the strongest branch is the Yin Yang Courtyard." Last year, there were 30 new students, and this year it is estimated that this number is also the same, if you want to enter, try to rush into the top 30 in the competition. ”

Lu Fan sighed, the strongest branch was actually not the one-yuan branch that the master said, which made him feel a little strange.

Lu Fan then asked, "What about the second branch and the third branch?" Why don't you tell me the rankings of the nine colleges?" ”

Lu Ming said: "The second strongest branch is the Qingjian Academy, and most of the students who are interested in cultivating swords are accepted, so it should be more suitable for you." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ming glanced at the heavy sword behind Lu Fan.

"The third is the Ethereal Temple, which focuses on self-cultivation. The fourth is Hengshan Temple, where the body refining is the majority. The fifth is the Thunder Courtyard, there is nothing special about it, but the Thunder Dao Martial God is very domineering. Sixth, Kongtong Academy, ** martial arts are average, but the victory lies in stability and balance. The seventh is the Thousand Courtyards, miscellaneous cultivators, and there are all kinds of weapons repaired. The eighth is Mingxin Academy, the people in this academy are all peacemakers, they don't like to fight, they don't want to win or lose, and they rarely communicate with people from other colleges. The ninth is the One Yuan Academy, I don't know what stands out about this academy, the only thing I know is that although it is one of the nine major colleges, there are few disciples in the academy, it is said that there are only three or five people. ”

Lu Fan was shocked, three or five people, ranking last, how could the One Yuan Branch be like this.

The master can't deliberately trick him, right?

Lu Fan swallowed and said, "This Yuan Yuan is so bad?"

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "It's not a good evaluation." I heard from my instructor that from the time of the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy, the first three branches had a Yuanyuan. At the beginning, Yiyuan Academy was also the faΓ§ade of the Martial Arts Academy, and the disciples under it were all masters, and the world did not know the Martial Arts Academy, only the Yiyuan Academy. Later, the Yiyuan Academy gradually declined, ranking at the bottom of the branch every year, as if it had never produced a master. However, those students who graduated from Yiyuan Academy later became famous one by one. It's a strange sorting house. Let's say it's strong, but I don't know where it's strong. Let's say it's weak, but the disciples are very competitive, at least after leaving the academy. ”

After a pause, Lu Ming continued: "Moreover, the Daoguang Master of the Yiyuan Academy is a strange temper, and he sneers at the genius that others look up to. On the contrary, those poor creatures who are very weak and are bullied every day, he likes to teach. ”

Lu Fan frowned slightly when he heard this, and it sounded a little interesting.

"Then which academy are you in?" Lu Fan asked nonchalantly.

Lu Ming said: "The foundation is not enough, the test results are not good, and I entered the Qianren Academy." By the way, Zhang Yuehan of the Zhang family was originally also a member of Qianrenyuan, and later fell in love with a senior brother of the Ethereal Courtyard. actually let her blend into the ethereal courtyard too, hehe. ”

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and did not comment.

At this time, the dishes were finally served, and Xiao Hei took the lead and started eating directly. Lu Fan and Lu Ming also chatted while eating, and continued to inquire about the situation of the Martial Arts Academy.

And in the dark corner of the lobby, neither Lu Fan nor Lu Ming noticed that the fat shopkeeper of the beast control was sitting there.

The darkness completely covered the fat shopkeeper's body, looking at Lu Fan and Lu Ming, who were talking happily. The fat shopkeeper's face was a little ugly.

He was originally going to come over tonight and steal Xiao Hei directly, but he didn't expect that at this time, Lu Fan and Lu Ming were not staying in the room, but ran to the lobby to eat. Looks like he's going to have to wait a little longer.

staring at Xiao Hei on Lu Fan's shoulder, the more the fat shopkeeper looked at it, the hotter his heart became, and his eyes were full of covetousness.

This desolate beast, if he is not mistaken, is a dragon and demon hybrid seed, very rare, and the most important thing is that it is still a young beast that has not yet grown.

As long as it is slightly adjusted, it will definitely be a powerful mount in the future, and its strength is no less than that of Digang, and even Tiangang warriors.

Such a young beast, how can it be measured by money, it is simply priceless.

The fat shopkeeper made up his mind that he was going to get his hands on this wild beast.

The fat shopkeeper quietly waited for Lu Fan and Lu Ming to return to the room, and then he could start. But he didn't know that Lu Ming and Lu Fan didn't plan to go back to the room tonight, so they were going to talk here until dawn.

The people around them gradually left, either going back to their rooms to sleep, or going home and leaving.

But Lu Fan and Lu Ming were still sitting there, asking for pot after pot of wine, and they didn't mean to get up at all.

The fat shopkeeper is a little impatient, so it's better to take advantage of the night to rob it. Anyway, as long as he doesn't admit it afterwards, what can these two foreign boys do to him?

Make sure to pay attention, and the fat shopkeeper is ready to do it.

But at this moment, a beautiful figure walked out. When he saw this girl, the fat shopkeeper's body stopped for a moment.

"Serve, serve, serve this girl a table of delicious food. ”

The sound was crisp and pleasant, so that everyone who remained in the lobby turned their heads to look at it, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

It's rare to see such a beauty!

Lu Fan also turned his head to look, and when he saw the girl's face, Lu Fan was taken aback.

She wasn't the one in West Hill that day......

The girl also glanced around, and suddenly collided with Lu Fan's gaze.

"It's you!"

Lu Fan and the girl screamed almost at the same time.

The girl immediately got up and said to Lu Fan: "Boy, I'll see where you are running this time." ”

As she spoke, a fiery red dagger appeared in the girl's hand, and her body was like electricity and rushed directly towards Lu Fan.

Lu Ming didn't have time to react at all, so he was kicked directly by the girl. Turning around in mid-air, the girl fell directly at Lu Fan's dagger.

Lu Fan's reaction was also very fast, and the moment the girl made a move, he pulled out the heavy sword behind him.

Bang Bang Bang!

There were three muffled sounds in a row, which seemed to be a fiery dagger, but in fact it was a triple force, which shook Lu Fan's arm slightly.

Heavy sword trick, breaking the air!

Lu Fan's heavy sword swung violently and fell at the girl.

The two collided with each other, and the table in front of them was instantly shattered into powder, and both sides took three steps back at the same time.

Xiao Hei had already jumped on Lu Fan's shoulder at this moment, and the black flames in his mouth were surging, squirting out at the girl.

When the girl saw Xiao Hei and Hei Yan, her face instantly lost color. At this time, the fat shopkeeper finally rushed out.

"Miss Phantom Moon!"

The fat shopkeeper shouted, and then waved his hand to block the black flame.

The flames were quickly neutralized in the hands of the fat shopkeeper. The crowd around them was stunned and dodged, poking their heads out from the second floor to see the situation below.

Lu Ming finally stood up, and Phantom Yue's casual kick almost made him incapacitated.

Looking at the fat shopkeeper and then at the phantom moon, Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out that you are in a group." ”

Phantom Moon frowned and said, "What a gang." Fatty, who are you?"

The fat on the fat shopkeeper's face trembled, he really didn't want to come out, but he couldn't come out, and said loudly: "Miss Phantom Moon, I am the shopkeeper of Dongshan City's Beast Zhai, my name is Xu Dan." ”

Phantom Moon sighed, and then said, "Beast Riding Zhai." Got it, you get out of the way. I've got an account to settle with this guy. ”
