Chapter 18: The Beginning

"I have erased my original soul mark from the knife, you only need to use your spiritual power to re-mark it and it can be taken into your body. Qin Li said.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang's thoughts followed the handle of the knife he was holding, leaving a trace in the knife, and he instantly felt the connection with the black knife's mind, and his mind moved slightly, and the black knife instantly turned into countless blue points of light, integrating into Zhang Yang's body. With just a movement of his mind, he can summon the black knife.

Zhang Yang bent down and bowed to Qin Li: "Thank you, Instructor Qin, I will definitely cherish this black knife." ”

Qin Li patted Zhang Yang's shoulder: "Okay, stinky boy, it's almost time, I'm leaving! If you can successfully participate in the Junior Soul Master Qualifier, we may see you again in the Huidu City-State." ”

After Zhang Yang saw Qin Li and Jiang Wu leave, his mind moved, and he saw a blue point of light quickly condense into a black knife in Zhang Yang's hand. Raised his hand and pulled a knife flower, with this black knife, he will definitely go further in the qualifiers in the future!

Retracting his mind, Zhang Yang began to continue training, the journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step, and all the strong people are through the accumulation of bits and pieces to achieve the glory of his day.

In the evening, Zhang Yang walked out of the door of the Soul Master Association with a little exhaustion, even if he soaked in the medicinal bath prepared by the teacher at noon every day, his mental exhaustion could only be recovered by resting.

"Zhang... Publicity. ”

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, looked to the side, and saw that the girl who called him was a young girl, the girl had pigtails, neat bangs on her forehead, her eyes were big, and she was wearing a light blue school uniform that I didn't know which school it was.

Zhang Yang looked at the cute girl in front of him, and didn't remember who it was for a while.

"I... I'm Shang Pianpian. You won't forget me, will you?" the cute girl looked at Zhang Yang stunned, and lowered her head in frustration.

"Uh... Of course I remember you, Shang Pianpian!Why are you here?" Zhang Yang scratched the back of his head and hurriedly spoke.

"Really? You remember me! Great! I'm here for you!" the girl said with some excitement as she stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve with her little hand.

"Looking for me, is there anything wrong with looking for me?" Zhang Yang looked at the girl who was grabbing his sleeve, and did not refuse, and said with some doubts.

"No... It's okay, I just wanted to come and see you. The girl's face was a little red, her little hands were grasping Zhang Yang, and her eyes were looking at her toes.

Zhang Yang didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his head and hehe twice.

"After that day, my family didn't let me go out, and I couldn't come out until school started today.

I heard my mother say that you are Grandpa Zhuge 's apprentice, you are practicing here, and after school, I came over. The girl's head lowered, and two long pigtails swept over the hand that was grabbed by Shang Pianpian, tickling.

"Well, thank you for coming to see me, but you should also hurry home, it will be dark in a while, and your family will be worried!"

"Well, this is for you. The girl took out a note from her pocket, stuffed it into Zhang Yang's hand, turned around and ran to a car parked not far away, turned around and waved at Zhang Yang, and got in.

Zhang Yang looked at the car that was slowly moving away and waved his hand.

He looked down at the note in his hand, which had a string of numbers written on it, and a tongue-sticking expression was drawn next to the number.

Zhang Yang's tiger body was shocked, this...

Zhang Yang thought about it, but still took out his mobile phone and entered the number in the mobile phone, and sent an expression of sticking out his tongue.

The 'buzz' phone vibrated twice, and soon received a reply from Shang Pianpian, with a shy expression.

Zhang Yang didn't come back, put the phone back in his pocket, and ran home.

At this time, Zhang Yang didn't notice that Jiang Wu came out of the gate of the association.

Jiang Wu looked at the back of Zhang Yang running away, smiled, and sighed: "Youth... Tsk..."

On the last day of March, Zhuge Hong found Zhang Yang in the training room and told him to gather in the hall of the Soul Master Association at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and set off to participate in the selection of the Seventh Acropolis.

Zhang Yang was excited and a little nervous, after all, this was the biggest competition he had ever participated in in his life, although it was only an Acropolis selection. Zhuge Hong comforted Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang gradually calmed down, planning to stop training today, go home to rest and rest, recuperate enough, and prepare for the selection.

The Seventh Acropolis is under the jurisdiction of the Huizhou City-State, located in the north of the Huidu City-State, with rich mineral resources and a population of about 5 million.

There are eleven acropolis under the jurisdiction of the Huidu city-state, in fact, at the beginning, the federation did not have an acropolis, but the development of human beings requires a lot of resources, and the demon beasts around the city-state are gradually eliminated.

The danger decreased, and humans began to build factories in these mineral, oil, natural gas and other areas, and a large number of people needed to work, gradually gathering in these areas, and slowly forming agglomeration places, and the Federation established acropolis in these places.

The selection rules of the Acropolis are simple, recommended by each school, about ten places in each school, and then the recommended students will gather in the inner city gymnasium, and the winner will advance to the system.

The ten places that will represent the Acropolis will be selected and sent to the Huidu City-State to participate in the preliminary competition for junior soul masters.

Zhang Yang came to the hall of the Soul Master Association early the next morning, and there were already many students and staff in the hall at this time.

So he didn't know any of the students here, so he had to stand aside and watch the students chatting in groups.

At this time, a group of people walked in from the gate, led by a person who seemed to be a teacher, Zhang Yang looked at it as a person from his own school, wearing his own school uniform, which was very recognizable.

In the crowd, there was also an acquaintance. It was the second middle school boy named Fan Hao, Fan Hao also saw Zhang Yang at this time, his eyes were slightly stunned, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Zhang Yang didn't go up to say hello, after all, he wasn't familiar with him, he just beat him.

At this time, a girl in a light blue school uniform sat over, and Zhang Yang looked at it, isn't this Shang Pianpan!

"Zhang Yang, you are also participating in the selection competition, it's great!" Shang Pianpian said happily when she saw Zhang Yang.

"What grade are you in this year?" Zhang Yang was a little surprised, after all, Shang Pianpian looked too loli.

"I'm in my first year of junior high school, just like you!" Shang Pianpian blinked.

Zhang Yang was stunned, he thought he was just a freshman in junior high school, but he didn't expect this cute Lori to be able to participate, and it is estimated that the strength is not weak!

The two chatted for a while, and Zhuge Hong came over with a girl.

"Master. "Hello Grandpa Zhuge . ”

"Okay, Zhang Yang will introduce you to this is my granddaughter Zhuge Yao. I'm 15 years old, a year older than you. Zhuge Hong took the girl and said.

The girl in front of her has short red hair, she looks a little capable, her eyebrows are heroic, and she is more than one meter six tall, a little taller than Zhang Yang.

"You're so flamboyant, I always hear my grandfather mention you! My ears are about to become calloused! You can call me Sister Yaoyao in the future!" Zhuge Yao smiled and stretched out his hand.

Zhang Yang hurriedly shook his hand: "Hello Sister Yaoyao, I often hear Master talk about you." ”

Zhuge Yao looked at Zhang Yang monk Pian Pian and said, "Sister Pianpian, long time no see! Let's help each other in the next competition! Strive to participate in the finals!"

After chatting together for a while, they saw that the staff asked to assemble, and after the roll call, everyone was arranged to several buses and drove to the competition venue.

In the car, Zhang Yang and Monk Pianpian and Zhuge Yao sat together, and the two girls chatted all the way, occasionally biting their ears and laughing, which made Zhang Yang nervous, and those who didn't know thought they were going to a spring outing.

Not long after, the bus drove to a huge oval venue, and several vehicles pulling participants stopped in the parking lot outside the venue, and everyone got out of the car one after another and followed the guidance of the staff into the venue.

The venue is very large, it is estimated that it can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people, Zhang Yang is the first time to come to such a place, only to see that there are no people sitting on the seats of the venue, it looks empty.

Everyone lined up as required, standing in the middle of the huge lawn in the hall, and after a while, they saw that the rostrum was filled with people one after another, dozens of people, Zhuge Hong was also among them, sitting in the first row, the closest place to the venue.

Next, a federal official of the Acropolis, holding a few pieces of manuscript paper on his stomach, spoke impassionedly for half an hour, and Zhang Yang listened drowsily. Only to hear, the last sentence began the draw.

Zhang Yang cheered up and followed the team forward to take a card in the draw box, which said 3-36.

The rules of the competition are divided into three regions, each region competes for the top ten, and then the thirty places in the three divisions compete for the top ten in the selection competition.

There are a total of 298 players on the scene plus Zhang Yang, 100 people in each of the first and second districts, and 98 people in the third district.

With the entrance of the referee, it was announced on the rostrum that the selection competition had officially begun!

Zhang Yang didn't see Shang Pianpian and Zhuge Yao in his own area, it seemed that they were in the first and second districts. The referee nodded to the staff, who shouted, "3-1 3-2 please come on stage, 3-3 3-4 ready." ”

I saw a blonde white-clothed boy sitting in the front row of Zhang Yang walking up to the stage, followed by a man at least one meter tall, with short hair and bare arms full of muscles.

The two stood still in the ring, and as the referee started, the short-haired muscular man rushed out first, only to see that when the muscular man was more than ten meters away, he instantly turned into a series of afterimages and crashed into the blonde boy's body!

The blonde boy was pushed straight back, but at this time, something strange happened, and the blonde boy who was pushed back actually burst like a bubble!

Just broken, the blonde boy suddenly appeared behind the muscular man, and hit the back of the muscular man's head with a punch, knocking him unconscious.

The referee's whistle blew and announced that player 3-1 had won!

Zhang Yang's eyes were full of amazement, the blonde boy's soul technique was really amazing! From the beginning of the game to the end, it took a maximum of five seconds!
