Chapter Twenty-Three: As You Wish
The next competition is the martial artist named Jin Nantian and Wang Teng, as long as one of the two wins, then the next one is to face off with Zhong Shi, and the list of this competition was born.
In fact, Zhong Shi and Wang Teng both know each other's strength, if Wang Teng is not Jin Nantian's opponent, then it is estimated that Zhong Shi is most likely not Jin Nantian's opponent, because in the entire handsome hall, Wang Teng's strength is recognized, and it can be said that it is the existence of the ceiling.
However, there are exceptions to everything, maybe there will be that mutual restraint, and for Wang Teng's strength, everyone can still see it, and it is still two to say whether to lose or not.
It was rare that Qin Jian did not hide from Gao Yan, appeared in front of Gao Yan, and said triumphantly: "Senior Gao, can you tell me how many punches my Jin Nantian can hold under your students?"
Gao Yan glanced at him, sneered and said: "You kid is a little bit eager to cover up, doesn't it mean that you dare to appear in front of me, doesn't it mean your self-confidence? I'm afraid what you want to say is that Wang Teng can hold a few back and forth in Jin Nantian's hands." ”
Qin Jian hurriedly explained: "No, I won't be so arrogant. The mountain chief has always taught us to be humble and low-key, and I have always kept it in mind and dare not forget it. ”
In fact, to be honest, although he is extremely confident in Jin Nantian's strength, he really doesn't look down on Wang Teng, after all, this kid has been beating his ass in this position, and he can't afford not to have a snack.
As long as Jin Nantian and Wang Teng are on an equal footing, he will be very satisfied, as for the victory or defeat, is it luck?
What he did this time was just to play with Gao Yan, just to prove that we are not inferior to your Gao Yan's master disciple in the slightest.
Gao Yan said contemptuously: "You kid, no matter what you think, Wang Teng is not a soft persimmon, be careful of being slapped in the face." ”
Qin Jian didn't care at all, and said with a hippie smile: "It's okay, it's okay, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, just think it's forging ahead, it's not a big deal, no matter how bad it is, it should be a pedal for your apprentices, and I wish the road in advance!"
Gao Yan snorted lightly, "You can pull it down, I'm afraid that you will hide a knife in your smile, so I want to give my beloved apprentice a dismount." ”
Qin Jian smiled and didn't speak.
After a long while, he suddenly remembered something, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on with this Zhang Yuanyi?"
Gao Yan glanced at him carefully, then turned his head away, and replied, "What, are you starting to embarrass my youngest disciple?"
It was rare that Qin Jian didn't fight like before, and he continued to ask: "I have investigated, Zhang Yuanyi is from Xuanling Yingchuan County Jewelry Town. It took a very short time to start cultivating, that is, in the last five years. ”
Gao Yan asked knowingly, "Oh, what's wrong?"
Qin Jian knew that the other party was unwilling to tell him directly about the beginning of the matter, so he simply didn't want to play dumb riddles with the other party, and he said sentence by sentence: "A monk who has practiced for five years can barely reach the second heaven, but he has the strength of a fifth heaven cultivator incredible, although these are shocking enough, but they are still not enough for me to pay attention to too much." ”
He is telling the truth, no matter how powerful a genius is, Qin Jian rarely pays attention to it, in any era, genius is the most lacking, and it has long been used up.
"But this guy is from Jewelry Town, I don't think Senior Gao will be a stranger, right?" he looked at Gao Yan and continued, "Jewelry Town is indeed relatively inconspicuous, but there is an old friend of yours there, the legendary bookworm Mr. Zhang Shi, who almost ascended to the sky, is also an old man of the same age as Gao Senior, of course, I also heard that Senior and Mr. Zhang have always been incompatible. ”
Gao Yan shook his head helplessly and said: "You kid, smart is smart, that is, when you talk and your thoughts jump around, one sentence here and one sentence there, the preface doesn't match the afterword, I really don't understand what you want to talk about." In order to prevent you from saying the wrong thing, what does it matter if you know the truth?"
Gao Yan wrote lightly: "You're right, Yuan Yi is that guy's disciple, the only disciple in this life." ”
Although he said it lightly, Qin Jian's heart was shocked, even if he was almost fifty percent sure that Zhang Yuanyi was that person's disciple, and when he heard the news with his own ears, he still breathed a little heavier.
Why didn't Zhang Yuanyi have to participate in the assessment before entering the academy, why did the master personally guide Zhang Yuanyi, and why did the mountain chief meet Zhang Yuanyi several times, all the reasons are obvious.
Even because he was among the Qianyuan Mirror not long ago, and he was the reason why he was the president of Chao'er, although he couldn't remember all the details of Zhang Yuanyi's vision that happened at the end of the Dan Soul Competition, he still knew a lot.
A very deep foreshadowing, very similar to the handwriting of a respected senior he knew, but with a completely different atmosphere.
Everything in this seemed to point to that senior, but he was not sure, and now when he heard Gao Yan's words, all his guesses would be confirmed, and all his doubts would be relieved.
That guy's disciple, of course, that guy does not refer to Zhang Shi, who has long been famous, but Zhang Daoling, one of the nine officials who is close friends with Zhang Shi and has been with him all year round.
There are very few people Qin Jian admires in this life, even among the nine senses, he only respects Zhou Rushan, the mountain chief of Chaohu Academy, Master Mingyu, the old abbot of the Withered Leaf Temple, Zhang De, the elder of Qingcheng Mountain, who has helplessly ascended, and an old gentleman, his teacher, etc., and there are only a few.
Even Luo Lanqing, who is known as the first person in the rivers and lakes, is not in the second ranks.
Among this group of people, the one he respected the most was the silent departing official, Zhang Daoling.
Before Zhang Daoling's death, although he did not make a shocking move to shock the entire rivers and lakes like Luo Lanqing, Zhang Daoling hid in the land of projectiles for many years, secretly laying a series of overall situations, and the grass snake line was very deep.
As the president of the tide for many years, he is not only about managing the miscellaneous affairs of the college, but also about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and cleaning up the rivers and lakes.
Among them, there are many large and small events, and the chess games of small rivers and lakes are encompassing, some are insignificant, some are shocking, and there are countless of them.
Originally, there were things that had no connection, but Qin Jian had always liked to think, and when he recalled these things in his spare time, the clues in them had pieced together an extremely huge chessboard for him, as if every detail had been secretly foreshadowed.
When he delved harder, the more he felt afraid, the whole chessboard was extremely scattered, as if it was done at will, but there would be one or two clues connecting everything, and his intuition was very strong, even this chess game was only one thousandth, this person's chess skills were even high in the world as a chessboard, high in the sky, and the whole world.
At first, Qin Jian didn't know who was laying out the chess game, and he was afraid of the other party's bad intentions, so he went on a rampage, preferring to kill a hundred by mistake rather than give up one, so he deliberately wiped out those clues.
But when he can erase a clue, another clue immediately pops up, as if even if it is his erasure, someone else has set up a game, maybe the chess game is not aimed at him, but when he makes a move, he has already become a chess piece in the chessboard.
That is, two years ago, after he tried to break the game countless times but to no avail, he finally had to admit defeat and could only ask the mountain chief for help, and he just happened to meet the person who laid out the layout behind the scenes.
The predecessor who has been hidden in the town for nearly 10,000 years and has silently sheltered the world, Zhang Daoling.
Although he didn't know why the other party appeared here, after Zhou Rushan's introduction, he was really excited in his heart, so that he was incoherent several times, who had always been unfazed.
It's just that Zhang Daoling didn't care about this, so he was optimistic about a junior, and gave him some guidance on spiritual problems, which benefited him a lot.
But it was such a respected senior, but not long after, he heard that he and the peak master of Feiyu Peak, the leader of the Demon Sect, Ni Chenfei, had died together.
Qin Jian didn't have time to react, but he didn't expect that the two would never see each other again.
Why didn't you ask more questions in the first place, but couldn't it be more natural?
He looked at Zhang Yuanyi at the foot of the mountain again, and raised his eyebrows slightly, it's okay, it's not too embarrassing for his predecessors.
In his eyes, no matter how amazing Zhang Yuanyi's performance is, he only embarrasses Zhang Daoling.
Seeing the other party's preoccupied appearance, Gao Yan rubbed his arms and said with a pompous expression: "I can't stand it, I have goosebumps all over my body." ”
After saying that, he didn't stay here anymore, and headed down the mountain to resist the wind, "Let's go and see my lovely apprentices." ”
is obviously a master, not to mention students, but he likes to be called apprentices, and there is always no shortage of strange things like the academy.
Qin Jian still didn't understand a question, so he hurriedly asked, "That'...... Who's the other one?"
Gao Yan ignored Qin Jian completely, leaving only one sentence, "After that, it's too early for you to know, you'll understand later, as for that person, it doesn't matter who he is, you just need to manage your subordinates well now, when the sky falls, we old people will be on top, don't worry too much......"
After that, the man had fallen from the layers of clouds at the foot of the mountain.
......
The host Xiaosheng walked out slowly and said loudly: "In the next competition, Wang Teng and Jin Nantian." ”
Wang Teng waved his hand to Zhang Yuanyi and the others: "Let's go, help me get lucky." ”
The little monkey smiled: "What are you talking about? We still know Brother Wang's strength, how can we help the other party have good luck!"
Even Zhong Shi, who had always been silent, said: "I hope to be able to fight with Brother Wang, and really fight!"
Wang Teng turned his back to them and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements." ”
In a few words, Wang Teng had already stepped into the ring, and Jin Nantian had been waiting here for a long time.
It is also rare to say that there are only three martial artists left in the entire Chaohu Academy, one Zhong Shi, one Wang Teng and one Jin Nantian are all martial artists, which is extremely rare in the martial arts test in previous years.
In previous years, most of the top three must have a sword cultivator and a martial artist, and most of the decisive games were obtained from the martial artist and the sword cultivator, as for the qi refiner because he was not naturally good at fighting, it was very rare, but it was often extremely amazing when it came out!
Jin Nantian was the first to speak: "In Xia Jin Nantian, I have been waiting for Your Excellency for a long time. ”
Wang Teng pointed to his face with a puzzled expression and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"
Jin Nantian smiled, "It's not that I know Your Excellency, it's just that the president asked me to defeat you, so I know about you." ”
Hearing the two words of the president, Wang Teng's eyes froze, and he smiled again in an instant, and suddenly realized: "Oh~ It turned out to be Qin Jian, I said why my eyelids have been jumping so much recently, it turned out to be remembered, but I think about it, it doesn't seem to rob him of a woman, how can this be?
He slammed his fist again, and said with a look of regret: "Oh, look at my memory, I forgot that our president is dedicated to the affairs of the academy, and he has to work hard day and night and be busy with cultivation, and now he is still a bachelor!"
Kim Nam-cheon didn't care, "I just obeyed the president's orders and never asked why." As for whether the president is single or not, it has nothing to do with me, and it is not within my duties. ”
Wang Teng laughed, "You guy is interesting, you are really willing to be a well-behaved puppy behind your family president!"
Jin Nantian's face was calm, as always, "Your Excellency doesn't have to bother so much, let's make a move." ”
I saw Jin Nantian, one hand flattened and turned over, put in front of him, and the other hand was behind, the green shirt was blowing, what a great grandmaster's demeanor!
Wang Teng squinted slightly, and in an inaudible voice, he whispered: "As you wish!"
