Chapter Twenty-Four: The Grumpy Iron Eater, Snatching Elixir Online
The Wind Country is located in the north of the eastern wasteland boundary of the Hengyu Continent, because it is close to the desolate beast forest, the plain swamp, and the people are strong.
As a royal family of the Wind Country, the Heavenly God Academy has been open for hundreds of years, and students have spread all over the empire, with a small ratio of the outer courtyard every year and a large ratio of the inner courtyard every three years.
Whether it is a small competition or a large competition, it is a pivotal matter for the entire empire, so every competition, whether it is the royal family, or the dignitaries, or the princes and nobles will be invited to pay the ceremony, and the invitation letter of each session is a symbol of status.
Today is the opening of each session of the Tianshen Academy, on a huge platform on the high platform, the screen is blocked, and the platform cast by the whole body is golden, which is indescribably expensive, and it is His Majesty the current emperor of the Wind Country and the president of the Tianshen Academy who sits inside. Whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or the Dean, it is not something that the little students below can see.
Under the high platform are rows of seats from high to low, which is also determined by the rank between officials, the higher the position, the greater the rank, and the greater the power.
Zhang Heng looked at this scene curiously in the crowd, sitting and looking right, and couldn't help but sigh, this kind of grand occasion was also the first time he had seen it since he was so old.
And Cao Dade, who was lying on Zhang Heng's back, scoffed at this, in his words, it was a group of small characters who were not in the stream, and then looked at the even more unpopular small characters in the fight, yes, it was a fight, Zhang Heng was not the first time to hear Cao Dade's thunderous remarks, but when he heard such a metaphor for the grand event of the Wind Country, he was also scared enough, for fear that the wall would have ears and be listened to, if Cao Dade's words leaked out, not to mention Elder Chu, even if the dean wanted to keep the two of them, it would be even more difficult.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a robe and a grim face appeared in the ring, "Quiet, today's big competition in the outer courtyard of the Heavenly God Academy, the first level is to hunt demon beasts in the Royal Hunting Ground of the Desolate Beast Forest, and those with more demon cores will take the top fifty and advance to the next round." During the competition, all students from the outer courtyard can participate, and it is strictly forbidden for students to fight among themselves. ”
After the man's voice fell, including Zhang Heng, they all gasped, looking at the crowd of old, middle-aged, young, and young people around them, this is fifty people out of thousands of people, and these fifty people are only qualified to participate in the second round of the competition, not the final entry into the inner courtyard.
"This is really a thousand troops snatching the head of the enemy general. Zhang Heng said with emotion.
"Hey, it looks like I won't be able to graduate again this year. The crowd next to him sighed and complained again and again, which made Zhang Heng speechless.
"Ahem, the old man is a man of the gods, and death is the ghost of the gods. An old man with gray hair said, and there was a look of pride on his face. It's just that the next moment it was ruined.
"Cut Lao Yangtou, you can't graduate, you've been practicing for decades and you're still like this. This is what the person next to the old man said, Zhang Heng was also dumbfounded, he was still out of the ordinary realm for decades, what a poor talent.
Cao Dade was also a little speechless, but looking at Zhang Heng's expression, he also said, "This is because the meridians in his body are broken, so he can't advance, even if he is a pig, he can enter the next realm after cultivating for decades." ”
Cao Dade's voice was not hidden, and the people around him also looked at the old Yang Tou sympathetically, but an old man in the crowd walked out, pointed at Cao Dade and said, "Why are you scolding people this little doll?"
But after Cao Dade glanced back, "I was wrong, there are also pigs who have been cultivating for decades and can't advance." ”
The people around him laughed instantly, and the old man in black and the old man with white hair also had a dull face, and quickly disappeared from the crowd.
"I won't go to the trial ground, anyway, I'm not a student of the academy, just go there. Cao Dade said before leaving.
Zhang Heng nodded, and didn't care, with his current strength, he really couldn't find a few opponents in the outer courtyard.
............
The mighty crowd marched towards the Desolate Beast Forest, and the students of the academy were walking in front, and the brilliant cars behind were also the people who came to watch the ceremony, as well as the elders of the academy students.
As the so-called new students are gearing up, the old students are calm as usual, some middle-aged people are as usual, walking all the way to see if it is comfortable, and some young people are also excited, if they come out on top in this high-profile environment, then the future of money and future will not have to worry, if it is valued by His Majesty, then it is not directly prosperous. If it is seen by some old students, it will definitely sneer and say, "This baby thinks very well"
And the most conspicuous in the crowd is nothing more than the leaders among the students, the first is Luffy who entered the Heavenly God Academy with him first, who was proud of the audience with his green talent, and the second is a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, a pale yellow long skirt covering her face without powder, a pair of big watery eyes are bright and abnormal, even Zhang Heng saw it, his eyes almost couldn't move, that is, Cao Dade is not here, if Cao Dade is here, he will definitely encourage him to go up and talk.
After traveling thirty miles east of the imperial capital gate, the group also arrived at the royal hunting ground, surrounded by soldiers in silver armor, shining in the reflection of the sun. Even standing quietly made these academy students feel as if they were cast a shadow on their hearts. After all, these are troops crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood, and almost everyone is a monk. This is exactly the personal guard of the Lord of the Wind Country.
The cold-faced middle-aged man stood here in the void before, and it was not until this time that Zhang Heng knew that this person was actually a powerhouse in the Danfu realm, and the spirit platform of the Danfu realm crossed the divine bridge into the inner mansion of the dantian, and he could already communicate with the vitality outside the body and walk in the void.
"From now on, until this hour tomorrow is the deadline, and all those who do not come out by that time will be counted as failures," the cold-faced man said.
"The annual competition of Tianshen Academy has officially begun, and I wish you all good luck. ”
After the words fell, the originally quiet crowd was in an uproar, and one by one the figures went straight to the royal hunting ground, after all, the demon beasts in the hunting ground are limited, not all the demon beasts in the mortal realm can quench the demon core, although as long as the demon beasts in the one-yuan realm have demon cores, but almost all the students here are students from the extraordinary realm.
Zhang Heng was no exception, and he entered the hunting ground between the rabbit and the falcon, and the speed made the people who set off first smack, and in a few flashes, Luffy and the girl were left far behind.
Looking at Zhang Heng who disappeared in front of him, Luffy sneered, and his heart became more and more disgusted with this person who had stolen his limelight many times.
And the girl took a look and then retracted her gaze, without paying too much attention, just alone on the road and walked inside, the long sword in her hand kept waving, accurately throwing away the head of each demon beast that attacked him, and if there was a demon core inside, it would pause slightly, and as soon as the long sword turned, the demon core quickly entered the space ring, and without the demon core, the footsteps did not stop at all, and continued to move forward, without dust, like a fairy above the nine heavens.
Luffy glanced at the girl, just swept it, but the eagerness in his eyes couldn't be concealed, he waved his hand to disperse the people who followed him, and hung silently far behind the girl.
The other side......
Zhang Heng is fighting with a demon beast in the middle of the One Yuan Realm at the moment, this demon beast is a strange beast in the Desolate Beast Forest, called the Iron Eating Beast, but it does not eat iron, but eats plants, especially with rough skin and thick flesh, super strong defense, and irritable personality, there are few people who trespass into their territory without permission and can go out intact.
Zhang Heng just suffered a loss of little knowledge, and he didn't know the sign of the Iron Eating Beast, so he strayed into this place and attracted the blow of the storm.
He felt that his body was about to fall apart at this moment, the long sword slashed at the other party's body and sparked, and his hand was about to break off with the huge anti-shock force, and even the softest abdomen of the demon beast in the past was extremely hard. The iron-eating beast saw that Zhang Heng couldn't break through his defense, so he started to rampage, if it weren't for the fact that this guy wasn't good at attacking, Zhang Heng wouldn't be embarrassed, but he could still support it.
The movement of the battle between one man and one beast quickly spread, and a group of people who were watching came around, only to see a burst of ridicule or exclamation between the crowd from time to time.
The irony was that he actually hit the attention of the Iron Eater Beast, and the amazed thing was that the people of the third layer of the Mortal Realm could actually compete with the Iron Eater Beast in the middle of the One Yuan Realm, although it seemed to fall into the downwind, but it was like a flat boat in the wind and rain, swaying with the wind.
Hearing the chatter around him, he also said that he was suffering, this guy couldn't beat him, and he was still pestering him to prevent him from running.
Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, and said in a light tone, "Little brother, the iron-eating beast likes to eat all kinds of elixirs, if you feed him elixirs, he won't attack you." ”
After Zhang Heng heard this, his face turned bitter, he only had a first-class elixir, but in order to refine the floating clouds, he bought a lot of herbs, and immediately took out a handful of herbs from the storage ring and threw them on the ground.
But I saw that the iron-eating beast just glanced at it, and the attack became violent in an instant, and Zhang Heng was under great pressure for a while.
Haha, "Little brother, the iron-eating beast only eats elixir, you are insulting him by giving him herbs, it is strange that he is not annoyed and ashamed." ”
The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth twitched when he heard this, this iron-eating beast still has this mentality, is this a refinement, so he had no choice but to take out the only spiritual grass in the storage space and throw it far to the ground, sure enough, this time the iron-eating beast quickly stopped, ran over and tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Heng, then picked up the elixir and began to gnaw. That look seemed to say, count yourself as a kid.
Zhang Heng stared at this iron-eating beast with an ugly face, and his heart was mixed, but he didn't expect that not long after his debut, he would be planted on the body of an iron-eating beast.
"I'll settle accounts with you later" Zhang Heng was also burned on the face when the people around him looked at him, and he turned around and left after putting down a cruel word, he didn't want to come over to this place again, unless his strength could crush the iron-eating beast, come over and beat him out of anger.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the crowd around had already dispersed, and Zhang Heng keenly found that almost all of the people around just now were middle-aged and elderly, and there were almost no young people, and he didn't know what the reason was.
