For the nameless and nameless scholar Zhuge Chen had seen in the academy, he had never felt that the other party was as simple as it seemed. But he never thought that the other party would be ranked second only to Chao in the Bitter Sea Academy.

After listening to Du Chunqiu's words, Zhuge Chen asked, "Listen to what you mean, senior brother, are you talking about it or is there more hope that falls on me?"

"It was. Du Chunqiu nodded and said: "But your current realm is too low, right? The peak of the Mandate of Heaven, how can this be good for oneself in the battle where everyone is among the bamboo baskets and draw water? I have already received the news, and a few people in the other three academies have already salvaged their own magic skills, and they have all entered the inner gate, but it is because of the ranking that they have re-emerged, which is really shameless." It's a pity that I have now become a cultivator of the Realm of the Ultimate Dao, otherwise I would really want to participate again and knock them to the ground one by one. ”

It turned out that Du Chunqiu, who was the most proud disciple of the Master of the Bitter Sea Academy, had already reached the realm of the True Dao three years ago, breaking through this big bottleneck, and his achievements in the future would definitely be limitless. Even among the four major academies, it was rumored that this was probably a sign that there was a saint in the world, but the green-shirted swordsman was a master who liked to play the world, and he didn't like to practice and preferred to walk in the red dust. Otherwise, his current realm may be even higher. This is also something that there is no way to do, Du Chunqiu, who is not in the mortal world, is not him, and he is even more sorry for his name.

"So junior brother, you still have to improve your realm quickly, even if your killing power is far beyond that of a cultivator in the same realm, and you are a sword cultivator who catches and kills invincible opponents. But those others who participated in this battle are not idle people, if you are lucky, you will definitely fail!" As a person who has come over, Du Chunqiu said slowly: "At the beginning, I thought that I was invincible among the younger generation in the world, so I suffered a big loss and almost capsized in the gutter. If it weren't for the other party inadvertently giving me a chance, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me right now. After all, it is still the same sentence, looking at the vast world, there are actually many capable people. If you die because you let your guard down, you will lose your footing and become a thousand years of hatred. ”

Zhuge Chen replied softly: "Senior brother has been taught. ”

The two walked side by side towards the cloth tent. During this time, Zhuge Chen turned his head and asked, "Senior brother came this time, but to bring me back to the academy as soon as possible?" If this is the case, I can delay for another two days, I still have some things to deal with, and now I really can't get out." ”

Facing Du Chunqiu, who is sometimes unsmiling, but sometimes naïve and confusing, Zhuge Chen's heart is still very respectful. After all, he is barely half of his senior, and he patiently explained so many inside stories about the battle of the Four Houses for him.

Who expected that Du Chunqiu just smiled, and then said: "Who told you that we are in a hurry to leave here, not to mention that there is still more than half a month before the real battle begins, and the battlefield is also set up in a place outside the law." We're so close to there that it doesn't matter if we leave later. The most important thing now is your realm, after quickly recovering to the peak of the Mandate of Heaven, you still need to be among the bamboo baskets to draw water. I am also a sword cultivator, so I naturally know how important kendo plays in the growth of your killing power. ”

"I can't do it. Zhuge Chen sighed, he knew his current situation. has just reached the peak of the Mandate of Heaven, and it can be regarded as returning to the realm when he was the white-clothed God King. The next path is unknown, and he still needs to think about it. It is impossible to leave hidden dangers for the future because of this battle of the Four Academies: "Please forgive me, senior brother." In the big battle, I will do my best no matter what, but I can't break the bottleneck in a short period of time. I also knew in my heart that at this time, I could get the fastest increase in my killing power, and for cultivators, the temptation brought by the realm was endless. But if it does. For me, it's like suicide. ”

Du Chunqiu frowned, and only after a long time did he speak: "It's okay to be you, but remember that you must not lose the face of Kuhai Academy, otherwise even if the master wants to protect you, I will definitely kill you first." For me...... Everything in the academy is everything to me!"

Unlike most people's guesses, Du Chunqiu is not only not from a family, but his life experience is particularly miserable. When he was only five years old, he lost his parents and became an orphan, hungry and full, especially in the winter, eager to snatch food from wild dogs. When he was met by the owner of the hospital, Du Chunqiu, who was still a teenager, had sharp eyes, and was gnawing on a chicken leg that had been discarded by others and had become moldy. But in his eyes at the time, it was a delicacy.

The courtyard master sighed, walked to Du Chunqiu's side and said, "Do you want to change to a more comfortable place to continue living? ”

The cold wind was biting, so Du Chunqiu curled up and half lay in the bridge hole. He glanced at the courtyard master vigilantly, but did not answer. But when the courtyard master shook his head and left, he got up and followed him closely.

This is the acquaintance of this master and apprentice, and since then, Du Chunqiu has become one of the personal disciples of the master of the courtyard. And he emerged at a very fast speed, and he was truly invincible in his own era. Perhaps it was the impact of hardship when he was young, but Du Chunqiu never forced ninety percent of the things in the world. Even if a fortune is missed by himself, he doesn't see how he regrets it. But only if you have the idea of daring to fight Kuhai Academy, no matter your identity, you will be killed by him with a sword. Dragons have reverse scales, and if they touch them, they will die. For Du Chunqiu, the bitter sea academy that gave him this new life was his reverse scale.

"I know this is naturally a bit harsh for you, but if even the courtyard master values you so much, he must have excellent hole cards. What's more, I'll just say that, I've already heard the master say about your grudge with the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy. He didn't dare to seek revenge from the master, so he could only vent this resentment on you. If you can't do it alone, I won't be able to do it. Du Chunqiu said slowly: "Don't you really think that the other party is at least a academy master, a senior cultivator of the pseudo-saint realm, how can he make a move on me? To tell you the truth, that sword cultivator who holds Pu is not like you and me who take an ordinary and upright path. It is indeed faster to enter the country, otherwise it would not be possible to become the head of the first courtyard now. But as long as there is a knot in the heart, it will be difficult to take half a step forward. Now do you still think that the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Courtyard will not make a move on you?"

Although the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Courtyard is not an evil cultivator, the darkness in his heart is actually not much different. It can be seen from the fact that he was able to choose to kill Zhuge Chen in order to protect business in the capital. It's just that Bai Yi didn't think that the other party would want to attack him in the battle of the Four Courtyards.

"Do you know what this Ten Thousand Swords Courtyard Master is called in the mouths of several courtyard masters?" Du Chunqiu opened his mouth and said, "Maggot with bones." As long as the cultivators who are entangled with him, most of them will not end well, and they will not die. It wasn't this Bao Pu who should have inherited the position of the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, he should have been his fellow senior brother, and according to my master, even he respected this person. can afford the saying that a gentleman is frank, not only that, but even in the whole world, it is well-known. But this man died without warning, and who would you think was the most suspicious person?"

"It can only be the current Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, because after his senior brother died, he was the biggest beneficiary!" Zhuge Chen said categorically.

"This is also something that everyone knows in this world, as long as it is a cultivator who is not in a low realm. But even so, what can be done? Anyone who dares to say this sentence will die at his hands in less than three days. To this day, the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Courtyard is still alive and well, and after so many years, the only injury he suffered was that his arm was cut off by the master because he wanted to kill you. Du Chunqiu shook his head and lowered his hands. It feels like a corpse crawling out of a grave after a hundred days of bumping into it, but he's just too freewheeling to care what others think. At this point, it coincides with Zhuge Chen: "In fact, if you want to protect you, it is also a very simple thing. As long as you have been closed in the Bitter Sea Academy, the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy will not have the courage to enter the mountain gate of our Academy, and naturally he will not be able to kill you. It's just that in this case, it doesn't matter to others, but can you accept it? First of all, it is a change in mood, hiding out of fear is undoubtedly extremely fatal to sword cultivation. I'm sure you're clear about that. And the heart demon tribulation derived from this will make you unable to dodge, and eventually die in it. Even if you can get through it by luck, if you want to enter the Pseudo-Saint Realm in the same situation, it will be a matter of I don't know how many years later......"

Zhuge Chen interrupted Du Chunqiu and said, "I understand what Senior Brother said. I just want to know if I will really encounter the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy during the Battle of the Four Courtyards, and if he really gives up his face, then I will leave the desert and return to the academy now. As for the Heart Demon Tribulation, it is not a problem at all, but I don't think it is necessary to be reduced to the point of no recovery because of the temporary avoidance of the edge of a pseudo-saint realm. But if not, there may not be no way to break the game. After all, this Ten Thousand Swords Courtyard Master shouldn't dare to be too blatant, right? After all, he is not our Courtyard Master's opponent, so things naturally have to be done more secretively. Zhuge Chen picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth. It's just that the pot is not filled with wine, but with clear lake water. Although there is a fly in the ointment, it is enough to be able to quench your thirst.

Just like he said, no matter how unscrupulous the Ten Thousand Swords Courtyard Master was, he didn't have the courage to kill Zhuge Chen under the noses of the remaining three Courtyard Masters. And it doesn't need to be so complicated, just after separating a wisp of divine soul that does not belong to him at all, and hiding it in the body of a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, Zhuge Chen can be secretly calculated. But after all, this wisp of divine soul was born in the body of a pseudo-saint, and it was extremely easy to kill a peak of the Heavenly Destiny. But after all, Zhuge Chen was essentially different from ordinary cultivators, not only did he not want to avoid his edge, but he wanted to go further and face the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy.

In other words, what he was facing now was not just the evil intentions of the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy. It is even more similar to the scene in heaven that made him kill himself in the god king's body, the same desire to invite the king into the urn, and the same calculation of his state of mind that he refused to take half a step back. But this time, Zhuge Chen's choice was still the same as then, stepping into it. It's just that the ending is destined to be far different!

Du Chunqiu opened his eyes that seemed to be squinting forever because he couldn't wake up, and after yawning, he said, "Naturally, it can't be the real body, if he really dares to do this, the remaining three courtyard masters will immediately kill him." Although the well water between the courtyard masters does not interfere with the river water, after all, they are the highest cultivators in this world, and there is still a connection between them. I don't know who has a better relationship with whom, but the most unsatisfactory is undoubtedly the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy. ”

When Zhuge Chen heard this, he immediately spoke: "Then I still have to participate in this battle of the Four Courts." Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, it is not a stupid move to favor the Tiger Mountain Walk, it is just a means to prove that I am confident enough to be able to destroy the Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy!"

Du Chunqiu said slowly: "This is the best. ”

So far, everything has been as he expected. Zhuge Chen did not flinch, but chose to participate in the battle of the Four Academies this time with high fighting spirit, which can also provide a guarantee for Kuhai Academy to win the first place. Of course, this is not a calculation or a conspiracy. After all, if Zhuge Chen can succeed in the end, he will be the one who benefits the most. And Du Chunqiu's heart has always been the academy, even if one day he will die because of this, he will not hesitate to do it.

......

After some conversation, the two returned to the tent, not wanting the patriarch to have been waiting there for a long time. Judging by his expression, he seemed to be a little excited at the moment. Looking at the camels on the side, it is not difficult to think that there are people from other tribes visiting the oasis.

When Zhuge Chen was puzzled, Gina had already come to his side, and whispered: "I don't know why, the people of the Copper Clan will come to apologize in person." And the attitude is very sincere, it is difficult to wonder if there is fraud in it. However, it seems that the patriarch is very happy, after all, if we can delay for a day and let you recover to the peak of your realm, we will have more chances of winning. ”

Zhuge Chen glanced at Du Chunqiu beside him, and he had already guessed probably: "Senior brother, you should ...... You've already made a move, right?"
