Chapter 18: Mercy
The rain in spring should be long and long, like a broken heart, but the rain falling at this moment is like a summer afternoon shower, so violent that it is not like words, and it is different from the coolness of the summer rain, sweeping away the heat of summer, the spring rain is still mixed with a little winter cold, dripping down, and the hair on the skin can't help but stand on end.
It was supposed to be an extremely exciting competition, and everyone thought it would be like glue, and it was difficult to tell the winner, but the result only happened in a split second, and it was much faster than any previous game they had watched.
Because from beginning to end, Shen Yanqi just recited a poem, and when the flowers fell, Ran Ning was no longer above this officialdom.
Even a fool understands that Shen Yanqi didn't use all his strength at all, even in the face of a Huiyang Realm cultivator, I'm afraid that no one can be as relaxed as him.
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, frightened by the terrifying strength of the other party.
Han Mu was not on the square, he could only stay far away, and when he saw Shen Yanqi with such strength, he thought of the guy who cowered and looked at him as timid as a mouse, not only smiled but also said: "This guy is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!"
Zhang Yuanyi looked at Shen Yanqi carefully, and couldn't help frowning, but immediately said with relief: "What does it have to do with me, anyway, I'll admit defeat when the time comes." ”
It's not that he's afraid, it's just that in Zhang Yuanyi's request, among his peers, monks with similar realms are what he wants to compare, once the realm is too different, it won't be interesting to compare, after all, you can't become a big fat man in one bite, and you still have to take one step at a time.
But the rest of the people present had completely different ideas, Wang Teng and Zhong Shi both had solemn faces, looking at the one who was in the heavy rain, slowly holding an umbrella, and leaving quickly, like a down-and-out person.
Zhong Shi asked, "What is the origin of this guy Wang Teng?"
Wang Teng pondered for a long time and replied, "This person is a real academy student. ”
After a long while, Wang Teng straightened out his thoughts, recalled the previous competition, shook his head, and said with some difficulty: "It's difficult!"
Zhong Shi and Wang Teng have been together for a long time, knowing that the other party said that it is difficult to defeat the other party, he was a little surprised and shocked for a while, if in the same realm, even Wang Teng feels difficult, I am afraid that no one will be able to defeat this guy in front of him.
Gao Yan nodded with satisfaction, "After so many years of Taoguang cultivation, I have finally made a lot of achievements, don't say that the little guy is quite okay, at least I am far inferior to him at this age." ”
Zhou Rushan smiled and said with a sigh: "It's a pity that the time is too short, and I don't even have time to grow up." ”
Gao Yan's eyes were complicated, "This is also a matter of no choice, there are a few people in the world who can stay in swaddling clothes all the time and be able to smooth sailing, everything still depends on the younger generation's own creation." ”
Gao Yan seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, what was the previous state of Yuan Yi? I don't believe that any panacea can do this!"
Zhou Rushan thought for a while and replied: "Then I'll tell you about the first time, the first time I recovered from my injury, it was a set of exercises that Zhang Daoling had pondered for tens of thousands of years, and Yuan Yi's cultivation began to get started." ”
Gao Yan looked puzzled, "Exercises?"
Zhou Rushan continued to explain: "I don't remember the specific name, I only know that it is a special practice for cultivating the Yuan Shen, which can be said to be extremely shocking!"
The last sentence doesn't need Zhou Rushan to say, Gao Yan also knows what kind of exercises can be done to cultivate the Yuan Shen, anyway, he Zhou Rushan has never heard of it, and from Zhang Yuanyi's previous performance, it can also be seen that this exercise is terrifying!
However, after all, Gao Yan is a person who has cultivated to such a realm, and it is difficult for most of them to be interested in the strange exercises of these juniors, or spiritual weapons, and they may want to help guide them.
For a person who is already standing on the top of the mountain, the scenery below the mountain is still colorful, but he is only a bystander.
Gao Yan shook his sleeves and sighed: "I often hear that the old man is dead, and there are only many young people in front of me!"
Zhou Rushan looked a little dazed, and muttered: "It won't be long before there are more teenagers, and there will be a lot fewer after all." ”
After a big war, how many teenagers can be left in the entire Chaohu Academy, and it is rare to be able to survive half of them.
They are old bones and gone, but what about these young people who are in the mood for love, in their prime? There are still too many good mountains and rivers, too many stories waiting for them to watch, to experience, in this new world that should belong to them, it is the time to show their ambitions, why just send white-haired people to black-haired people?
He didn't force these young people to charge into battle, even if there would be a few people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, he wouldn't blame anything, but he didn't have to think about it to foresee, this group of children would definitely rush to the battlefield at that time.
He is too familiar with the students cultivated by his academy, and if the Chaohu Academy, which is the first in the world, is a group of selfish people who only care about their own safety and put their family and country out of their lives, I am afraid that it will not be of much significance for him to establish this academy in the first place.
Even if it is the Dry Leaf Temple and Qingcheng Mountain under the hands of a few old friends, there will be a few people who choose to escape when the world needs it, it is impossible!
This is also the biggest difference between the human race and the sea tribe, although there are already signs of civilization, but most of the sea tribe is still choked by the neck, hanging the knife on the head, forced to participate in the war, their own sense of belonging to the race is almost nothing, in the words of the human race, the people's hearts are scattered, away from a plate of loose sand, that is, there are more external forces to gather the scattered sand.
The last match was a duel between a martial artist and a qi refiner, and compared to the many amazing duels before, this competition was much more prosaic, and then the unknown martial artist knocked the opponent out of the ring, and everything was over.
No one cared too much, but after the winner was decided, Wang Teng said meaningfully, "This competition is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which has attracted a lot of old guys!"
Zhang Yuan paid a little attention, but he didn't pay too much attention, anyway, he estimated that every next game would not mean much to him, and he was afraid that he would surrender as soon as he played.
Everyone present, except for Ai Huanzhu and him, even if it is Tengyun Realm, there is no more, Zhang Yuan joins this excitement, I am afraid that he will only be beaten purely.
Some of them have been eliminated, and now the people left on the field are, Ai Huanzhu, Zhang Yuanyi, Zhong Shi, Wang Teng, Shen Yanqi and Jin Nantian, this Jin Nantian is the last winning martial artist, and it is said that he is also one of the trendsetters, but he is not famous compared to the rest, and he is even silent.
After all the lists were out and everyone rested for a while, the next competition began again.
Unlike before, everyone who didn't know who their opponents were, this time the list of opponents was released in advance.
Zhang Yuanyi vs. Jin Nantian, Zhongshi vs. Shen Yanqi, and Ai Huanzhu vs. Wang Teng.
Zhang Yuanyi looked at the list of battles, stunned, what kind of battle is this, he is obviously in a hurry to get rid of him, a guy who came up by luck!
In addition to the duel between Zhong Shi and Shen Yanqi, there are still a lot to see, and the duel between the rest of the people is like a joke, and there is a huge disparity in strength.
He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I just hope I don't be the first to play, this place can stay for a while longer, it's better to rely on it than to be kicked out." ”
But it backfired, as soon as he finished saying this, the host Xiaosheng boarded the square.
The host Xiaosheng announced: "In the first competition, Zhang Yuanyi vs. Jin Nantian!"
Zhang Yuanyi looked embarrassed, so he had no choice but to get into the square ring.
Martial arts monk Zhang Yuan has seen a lot, there are people like Wang Teng who look handsome and chic, but actually punch and collapse, and Zhong Shi who is silent and stunned, and even higher, and Zheng Tuo's predecessors are wearing coarse linen clothes like this, and they look like old martial artists at a glance, but Jin Nantian is different from them.
Because he was wearing a green shirt, he looked like a martial artist, but like a scholar.
Jin Nantian saluted and said, "Please advise!"
This is even more interesting, a martial artist practices Confucian etiquette, and it seems that in this person's heart, Confucianism has a very high status and is extremely important.
Zhang Yuan hugged his fists and saluted back: "Be merciful!"
"Poof!" The little monkey just wanted to drink saliva, helping Zhang Yuanyi pray not to lose too badly, but his saliva gushed out by the other party's words!
Gao Yan covered her face, and she had no face to see anyone.
Jin Nantian smiled slightly, "Friendship first, competition second." ”
After the two saluted each other, they shot one after another, and the competition officially began.
At the beginning of the competition, Zhang Yuanyi was like throwing garbage, and all the moves were smashed towards Jin Nantian in one go, and the dense moves were overwhelming like ten thousand arrows, occupying the entire square for a while.
And he himself is scurrying around, like a dying clown.
The little monkey looked puzzled and asked, "What the hell is Yuan Yi thinking, judging from the strength level of the other party before, at least he is from the Huiyang Realm, he is not an opponent at all, why do you still have to do a death struggle? Isn't this a pure waste of time?"
Not only him, but the rest of the people didn't know what medicine was being sold in Zhang Yuanyi's gourd, they only felt that their spirits were commendable, and the other party was more speechless.
Because Zhang Yuanyi's gadgets are too many, and unlike the talismans and spiritual weapons thrown by monks in the past, this guy threw them all over and over are some ordinary swords and swords, I'm afraid they are not worth a few dollars, not to mention the effect, and it is a waste of energy.
Watching the rain of swords was shocking, but in fact, there were a bunch of flowers, and it was useless.
Jin Nanshan didn't even have to deliberately dodge these useless sword rains, except for the fatal places where these weapons were about to touch him, he was completely watching them fall, and they were shattered countless times when they fell on him.
In order to save face for Zhang Yuanyi, he didn't want to repel the other party at once, so as not to look embarrassed.
Although he is not famous, Zhang Yuanyi is still well-known in the academy, and he has an amazing performance in the Dan Soul Competition, although his strength is average, but perseverance is rare and rare, even he pays a lot of attention to it, and admires it from the bottom of his heart.
In the distance, there is also a man dressed as a woman at the Sword Conference, which is in stark contrast to Yu Wenjun's woman dressed as a man.
Just because of this incident, although Zhang Yuanyi's performance was very good, most people still paid attention to Zhang Yuanyi's face in retrospect, Zhang Yuanyi was also respected as the "women's clothing boss" in private, and many people laughed and felt ashamed!
But it was okay, but after a long time, a strange voice suddenly came out, "Why is Yuwen Junnu's female dress as a man admired for not letting her eyebrows be shaved and heroic, while a man who dresses up like a woman is being ridiculed, why!?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and because of such a trivial matter, it exploded in the student pile, and even rose to the power struggle between men and women.
Girls can wear skirts, they can wear men's clothes, but men can't, obviously pursuing equality for all, how can they always feel that in the end, men are inferior to women?
Of course, Jin Nantian didn't want to care about these trivial matters, he just treated them as a joke and thought it was interesting, as for Zhang Yuanyi, he didn't know what was going on at all, he was a busy man, he either stayed in the school every day, or went to Jianshan to practice, and there was alchemy, and he didn't care about all the gossip about him.
"Huh!" Just as Jin Nantian was distracted, a moonlight long sword passed through layers of sword rain and shot straight towards Jin Nantian, dragging out an extremely long moonlight sword tail, which came in an instant!
After all, Jin Nantian was a martial artist with good combat power, but as soon as he raised his hand slightly, Jiang Han was pinched between his fingers, and his sword roared.
And Zhang Yuan summoned the strange starry sky space in an instant, escaped into it, and reappeared behind Jin Nantian, and he didn't know when there was an extra long sword full of stars in his hand, and he wiped a sword!
However, at this moment, Jin Nantian threw Jiang Han aside in his hand, turned around at random, first gently pressed two fingers against Qingmeng, and then lightly punched him.
Obviously looking at the powerless punch, Zhang Yuanyi couldn't even feel the pain in his body, but the next moment, he was knocked out like a sandbag!
Zhang Yuan's whole person was like a fallen leaf, drawing an extremely graceful arc in the air, and he landed again outside the ring.
As soon as Zhang Yuan's feet landed, the power of the previous punch loomed, and his legs were weak, as if he had been cut off, and he collapsed to the ground!
However, Zhang Yuanyi, who lost the competition at the moment, did not have any regrets, but grinned, because his goal had been achieved.
