Chapter Ninety-Two: The Tower of Trials
Responding to Song Xin's request with a heavy heart, the faces of the three teenagers were extremely ugly, they thought that Song Xin had gained a great increase in strength, and they were envious and even a little jealous, but now that they knew the danger Song Xin was facing, they understood that he had fallen into such a situation.
What kind of intimidation is it to tell a young man in his prime that he may be killed at any time? Not to mention that Song Xin faces a threat even worse than death, being seized by the evil will and becoming a murderer, turning into a puppet of the Purple Soul Source, with his temperament, it is absolutely unacceptable, and as for ending his life, he is also difficult to give up.
Seeing that the once innocent and shy young man had purple eyes, and at this moment he was worried about planning the ending for himself, Ling Qingyun was also very sad as a friend.
I'm afraid, even Dean Nanming didn't expect this Purple Soul Source to be so difficult at the beginning, right?
"He can tell such a big deal at this age, and ask us to kill him if necessary, it is really righteous!" Ling Qingyun sighed secretly, unable to realize it, so he had to silently wish that Song Xin could withstand the bewitching erosion of the Purple Soul Source and resolve this catastrophe.
"The three of you can agree to this unreasonable request, the younger brother is really grateful, but the secret of this purple pupil is still kept secret before I go astray. After solemnly opening his mouth and making the three of them nod, Song Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled as if he was concerned: "Since everyone was supposed to meet today, learn from each other, and exchange cultivation experiences, I disturbed everyone's interest with this obscure matter, and I should be punished!"
As he spoke, he looked at Ling Qingyun: "Brother Qingyun, are you interested in this purple pupil method? ”
"Then it's better to be respectful, please give advice!" Ling Qingyun nodded, clenched his fists, and made Lin Qiancheng and Legge scatter, the two of them each took a step back, and the sword was immediately unsheathed, and soon a fierce battle began.
Song Xin absorbed the memory of the Purple Soul Source, as if he had also turned into a Purple Pupil Tiger and other fierce beasts to fight, it was difficult to be ruthless with his sword technique, but the improvement in just a few days was limited after all, and it was still not as powerful as Ling Qingyun's sword, but the transformation of the Purple Soul Source to a stronger body than ordinary body cultivation made him suppress Ling Qingyun in terms of strength, coupled with his amazing talent in martial arts, his tricks were unpredictable, except for the first three moves Ling Qingyun's speed advantage left a few scars on Song Xin's body, and then the two fell into a state of indistinguishability.
The more Ling Qingyun fought, the more frightened he became, only when he faced him in person did he understand how strong Song Xin was at this time, although the purple pupil was not as powerful as the purple pupil tiger, his strength was at least half affected when he and Song Xin looked at each other, and there was a feeling that his whole body was seen through, seeing that a sword had not yet exerted its power and was intercepted by Song Xin in advance, he felt even more constrained, what move did he want to make, the attack trajectory and the force he used were seen through, how could he fight?
The swords clashed nearly a hundred times, and Ling Qingyun, who had gradually fallen into the disadvantage, finally fought hard to beat Song Xin with a sword, and defeated Song Xin with the Xuanyuan Swinging Qi Method, but after winning, Ling Qingyun only felt that his arms were sore, and the true qi in his body was even more depleted, and he couldn't help but sigh at the risk of this victory.
"Brother Qingyun is better than me in attack and defense, and my brother is not as good as me!" Song Xin hugged his fist at Ling Qingyun and congratulated him with a smile, but his gaze fell on Ling Qingyun's wound, which made Ling Qingyun secretly frightened: "He has seen through my runes!"
"You didn't use your purple pupils to watch!" Ling Qingyun smiled bitterly, once that terrifying spiritual attack was cast, it was enough to turn the tables in an instant!
"That move is too expensive, I just resisted Brother Qingyun's attack and I was too busy to take care of myself, how can I be distracted?" Song Xin explained, this reason was indeed true, but Ling Qingyun still understood that Song Xin had given in to this battle after all.
Later, Legge also fought with Song Xin, Song Xin intended to comprehend the power of magic, so he did not quickly defeat Leg, but let Legge cast all kinds of magic, and even split it with a knife in his hand, until Legge planned to cast the gale knife that killed the purple pupil tiger in the past Song Xin hurriedly stopped it, it was a powerful magic that was enough to kill the powerhouse of the Stone Spirit Realm, even if he could see through the essence, it was difficult to resist.
After resting, the four of them fought again, Legge and Lin Qiancheng were both defeated by Song Xin, only Ling Qingyun fought with him with the help of the sword edge Zhirui won two wins and two defeats, the results were comparable, but Ling Qingyun felt more and more that Song Xin was not what it used to be, and his actual combat power was already above him.
Even before Song Xin fused with the Purple Soul Source, Ling Qingyun didn't dare to fight with him for a long time, for fear that the swordsmanship path would be cracked by his terrifying martial arts talent, but now Song Xin's strength has been comprehensively improved, and the difficulty of wanting to defeat it quickly has more than doubled? As for how to deal with the attack of the purple pupil, he has no clue, maybe only by entering the state of golden cracking sword intent can he win quickly, so that Song Xin has no chance to use the purple pupil gaze.
In other words, Song Xin, who fused with the Purple Soul Source, had quietly surpassed Lin Qiancheng and Ling Qingyun and became the strongest of the new students in essence!
It can be said that this is an enviable and crazy creation, but how many people are willing to take the corresponding risks?
Ling Qingyun and Legge both sighed and sighed, no wonder the academy was willing to lend Song Xin an additional place in the Trial Tower, but the most depressed was Lin Qiancheng, who wanted to test Song Xin's strength but was easily defeated, and after losing to Ling Qingyun, he was finally demoted to another place, and was reduced to the third person of the freshman, which simply tore his former ambitions to shreds.
"After we each come out of the trial tower, we will have another competition!" Lin Qiancheng said unconvinced before leaving the competition arena, causing everyone else to laugh.
"At that time, you must have reached the Stone Spirit Realm, but I don't have this chance, maybe I have to stay up for another two or three months!" Legge sighed, his expression not so depressed.
Ling Qingyun looked at Song Xin: "I heard that the trial tower is infinitely mysterious, it can help people understand the mysteries of heaven and earth, and it can also sharpen your mind. ”
"What Brother Qingyun said is exactly the same as the dean!" Song Xin smiled, but the three of them were speechless.
......
"This is the Tower of Trials?" Looking up at the tower in front of him, Ling Qingyun couldn't hide his shock.
This is an octagonal solemn pagoda, from a distance this tower seems to be a thousand-year-old tree, dark green, after approaching Ling Qingyun and feel that the tower body is a bluestone brick, flowing with metal-like faint and cold light, the tower wall and the ground under the tower or carved or painted many lines, some are stone carvings, some are painted by cinnabar, some are smeared with gold powder, there are also water flow pipes and even luminous ones, there is a meandering from the bottom of the tower to the top, the golden mangs are bright but like a five-clawed golden dragon as majestic, these many runes Ling Qingyun barely distinguishes forty percent of them, but it is an eye-opener.
This tower has a total of nine layers, each floor is one zhang high, each high layer is narrow one point, the runes on the tower wall are more and more dense and obscure, and there are all kinds of spirit stones, precious jade inlaid on it, and it does not show the slightest abruptness, and the top of the tower is a round pearl, the diameter of this pearl is about half a foot, but it is exquisitely clear, obscure and changing, sometimes the night pearl is like shining brightly, sometimes it is eclipsed, sometimes it is more like a flame rising, the waves are turbulent, the jewel is not far above it is covered with a layer of dark clouds, the thunder snake is faintly seen swimming, but it is majestic and awe-inspiring.
Such a pagoda is naturally heartfelt and awe-inspiring, and its location is also secretly terrifying to Ling Qingyun.
Everyone in Nanming knows the existence of the trial tower, but the location of the trial tower is a secret, Ling Qingyun thought that this tower should be hidden in the depths of the back mountain so that ordinary people would not find out, but he didn't expect this tower to be located in the bamboo forest inside the academy, but it really surprised him, you need to know that this bamboo forest is not large, because the scenery is beautiful, every student has walked a few times, but he has never heard anyone say that he has seen this trial tower, not to mention that the trial tower itself is nine zhang high, and there are very few tall bamboos that can be compared with the entire bamboo forest, how can he hide this conspicuous tower?
"Thinking about it, this bamboo forest is a hidden mystery, it is really a phantom array, if it is not for the advanced cultivation or the guidance of someone, it will not be possible to discover this trial tower. Ling Qingyun thought to himself, but he couldn't help but admire the unfathomable methods of the academy.
"Now you can enter the Trial Tower, or you can observe outside for a while before entering. You need to remember that this trial tower is very wonderful, everyone sees and has different opportunities, but there is one rule that does not change, that is, the higher you go, the greater the benefit. Standing beside Ling Qingyun and sending him into the tower was an old man in a white robe, he stroked his beard lightly, and told Ling Qingyun all kinds of matters: "One thing can rest assured, no matter what you encounter in the tower, there will be no fatal danger. But if you have the strength to spare, challenge yourself to the heights of the Tower of Trials and hold on as long as possible. ”
Ling Qingyun nodded, and then asked curiously, "Dare to ask Mr. Wei, how long can an ordinary person last in this trial tower?"
"This is related to cultivation, will, and even luck, the shortest time is no more than the tea time, and the longest time is five days - don't think about it, it is a record created by a senior in the mountain and river realm. It's rare for someone like you to enter the Trial Tower with just a Thousand Forging Realm, but the average time that a Shiluo Realm student insists on is a little over an hour, and the best can reach three hours, and some people even stay in it for half a day. The white-robed old man said, "As for you, I think you can try to hold on for two hours." ”
"Thank you, sir, for your advice. Ling Qingyun bowed his head: "The student plans to observe for a while before entering the tower." ”
"It's good to take a look, you have three days anyway, as long as you don't delay until the third night. The old man surnamed Wei smiled: "Speaking of which, you have studied the Yanbo Sword Technique?"
"How does Mr. know?" Ling Qingyun was shocked, as the second place in the Camel Ridge experience, he was rewarded for entering the top level of the Library Pavilion again, and only the day before yesterday did he comprehend the Yanbo Sword Technique on the top floor of the Library Pavilion, only to feel that it was extremely subtle, which made him very inspired, but how did this Mr. Wei know?
"Because I'm practicing the Smoke Wave Sword Technique. Ling Qingyun's words from the old man surnamed Wei were taken aback: "You like to study very much, I was secretly deducing it before I came, and it seems that I have already understood." ”
"I'm deducing it in my heart, at most it's presented in a wordless book, how does he know it? Could it be that he can read minds? Or is it the means of the hopeful?" Ling Qingyun was secretly surprised: "This Mr. Wei is a fairy wind dao bone, maybe he is also a heavenly powerhouse!"
But when Ling Qingyun looked again, he only saw the white-robed old man disappearing into the back of the bamboo forest in a blink of an eye.
"After you get out of the tower, you can leave on your own, if you have any questions about the Yanbo Sword Technique, you can come to me. The long voice echoed in Ling Qingyun's ears, making him stunned and believing that this old man surnamed Wei was profound.
"He plans to take me as an apprentice?" Ling Qingyun's heart moved: "Mr. Nanming Academy is already the best at teaching, and Mr. Linghua Realm's teaching talent is comparable to that of ordinary Tianxing Realm, and Mr. Tianxing Realm must be even better." If he is really proficient in Yanbo Sword Technique and has high morality, it is worth worshipping him as a teacher, but how to find him can be regarded as the first test. ”
"It's just that the number one priority now is to visit the Tower of Trials. Ling Qingyun looked ahead, but saw that thousands of runes on the trial tower flickered, connecting and echoing each other, if the chess score produced some kind of mysterious fluctuations, attracting the energy of heaven and earth, he couldn't help but put his mind into it, but he was stupid.
"This trial tower fruit is a treasure land, and this rune arrangement alone seems to be indistinguishable from the spirit rune of the predecessor of the Mingyue Monk!" I don't know how long I stopped, Ling Qingyun returned to his senses and said to himself happily: "If that spirit rune is like creating life and creating the world, this trial tower is like a portal to another time and space, it is really mysterious, if I don't understand the way of runes, I will miss this creation in vain!"
"The rune arrangement has such an artistic conception, I don't know what you will gain when you step into it?" Ling Qingyun couldn't help but smile and stepped into it expectantly, looking at the gate of the Trial Tower that opened in front of him, like hiding countless treasures......
