Chapter 187: Elite Tryout
This year, Kuang Yongyi was 16 years old. In the past six years, he has insisted on majoring in "Falling Grass Collection", and has studied "Qingyun Sword Technique", "Divine Sword Sutra", "Plum Blossom Sword" and Drifting Snow Sword Technique. At the beginning of the cultivation of "Falling Grass Collection", I could only watch three scenes. But when he advanced to the samurai, hundreds of scenes gradually emerged. There are those who fight with people, those who fight with beasts, and those who fight with demons, in each scene, in addition to the martial arts that the down-and-out young man himself comprehends, and at the same time can also learn the martial arts of the opponent. As the opponents of the down-and-out youth became stronger and stronger, Kuang Yongyi's comprehension of martial arts became deeper and deeper, and his progress became faster and faster.
โโAt the age of thirteen, Kuang Yongyi cultivated his true qi and became a warrior. Those who also entered the realm of samurai back then were Zhao Qilin, Luo Ying, and Li Ba, while Qian Buzheng became a samurai as early as a year ago. Now, Kuang Yongyi and Qian Buzheng are both sixth-order warriors, and they are the two people with the highest cultivation in this session, Zhao Qilin and Luo Ying are fifth-order warriors, and Li Ba is a fourth-order warrior. There are also ten people who have become samurai in this year, but they are all low-level samurai of the first and second order. Sun Wuneng is only a seventh-order martial artist, and he has barely stepped into a high-level martial artist, and in this royal academy full of geniuses, he can indeed be called a turtle speed. Another kind of acupoint that Kuang Yongyi is familiar with is a tenth-order martial artist, also known as a peak martial artist, although it is nothing compared to the genius of the fast class, but it is also a leader in the middle and slow class.
โโIt's a very special year, as the Royal Academy's 10-year elite tryouts are about to begin. The elite selection competition will select the best thirty or so from the tens of thousands of students in the academy, and then be personally taught by the strong martial arts to pursue a higher realm of martial arts. It must be known that all the students are taught by samurai after entering the school, and they usually don't even see the faces of the strong men of the martial arts. The martial arts powerhouse is the first-class powerhouse in the world, and those who have reached this realm are qualified to become a sect master. It is undoubtedly a great honor for those who practice martial arts to be personally taught by the strong men of the Martial Sect.
โโThe elite selection competition is held every ten years, and the longest study time in the Royal Academy is ten years, that is to say, everyone only has one chance, it may be the year of admission, or the year of graduation, in short, one opportunity, not to be missed.
โโThe rules of selection are mainly jousting. The competition is divided into three levels, samurai and above, peak martial apprentices and senior martial apprentices, and the top ten in each level are determined to become elite students. It usually takes three to four years for each student to study before someone begins to enter the samurai realm, and by the time they finally graduate, no more than thirty people can become samurai. Therefore, the number of people above the samurai level is the least, and the total number of people in each session does not exceed two hundred. But these people are also the best of all the students, and although they are small, the competition is the fiercest. The total number of peak martial artists is about two thousand, while the number of high-level martial artists is about five thousand.
โโIn addition to the competition, there are also rules specifically for freshmen who have just entered the school for one or two years, these people are young, the training time is short, and the competition is not suitable, and the best students are directly selected from among them. As for the standard of excellence, it is up to the martial arts to grasp it freely. There is an upper limit to this selection, no more than ten people, but there is no lower limit, there may be none, or only two or three. Coupled with the thirty people who were decided by the competition, there will be a total of more than thirty people who will become elite students.
โโKuang Yongyi originally didn't care about the false reputation of the elite or not, but after becoming an elite student, he could get on the line with the strong martial arts sect, which would undoubtedly have a great effect on his cultivation. But the road is not easy. Although he is considered outstanding among the students of this year, and is one of the two people with the highest realm today, his opponents this time are not limited to this year, there are also several years higher than him, there are no less than five high-level samurai, and it is said that there is even a peak samurai, a peak samurai who is less than twenty years old, what a genius that is.
โโ"Brother Sun, you didn't sign up for the elite tryout?" Kuang Yongyi looked at Sun Wuneng in astonishment.
โโSun Wuneng smiled faintly: "The elite is not elite, it's just a false name, I'll go and join in the fun." What's more, it was for nothing that I went. With the strength of my seventh-order martial disciple, it is impossible to enter the top ten at all. โ
โโKuang Yongyi said: "How do you know if you don't try." Although there are many eighth-order and ninth-order martial disciples, they may only be at a high level, and their actual combat ability is not outstanding. โ
โโSun Wuneng said: "I have made up my mind, Brother Kuang doesn't need to persuade me anymore." It's Brother Kuang, what you want to participate in is the selection of the samurai realm, and the opponents are the best students of the Royal Academy, it is not easy to stand out, you have to prepare well. By the way, do you have an idea of the opponents you're going to face?"
โโKuang Yongyi said: "With a little understanding, it is said that there were no less than five high-level warriors in the last few sessions, and there was even a peak warrior. โ
โโSun Wuneng said: "These are just known, maybe there are dark horses." In addition, you can't just focus on the previous sessions, maybe there will be great people in the next sessions. The world is so big, there are always a lot of geniuses. โ
โโ"Ahh Kuang Yongyi realized that he had made a big mistake. It is true that there may be hidden dark horses in the last few sessions, and there may be those who surpass themselves in the next few sessions, and there may even be those who are not as good as themselves but can leapfrog and challenge. It seems that this road is much more difficult than I imagined.
โโ"Brother Kuang, the first ten days of the selection tournament are all competitions between high-level martial artists and peak martial artists, you don't have to watch them, you can make full use of these ten days to further improve your strength and strive to shine in the final warrior competition. โ
โโ"Thank you Brother Sun for reminding me. โ
โโ"You and my brother don't have to say thanks. These days, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and I have nothing to do, so I will help you inquire about the masters in the academy. โ
โโ"I'm tired. โ
โโIn the next few days, Kuang Yongyi spent his days in the dormitory doing penance on "Falling Grass Collection". He was already a mid-level samurai, and in the scene that appeared in his mind, the opponent of the down-and-out young man was also a mid-level samurai. The down-and-out young man held a short stick and fused swordsmanship, sticks, marksmanship, and knife skills into one furnace, making him superb. The opponent is not weak, he does not use a blade, but he uses his true qi to the pinnacle, which is stronger and more dangerous than a blade. The down-and-out young man tried dozens of martial arts, and every move and style was extremely sharp, but he was never able to defeat the enemy. What surprised Kuang Yongyi even more was that this time, the down-and-out young man was defeated, completely defeated.
โโKuang Yongyi thought about it and didn't know what to do, so he had to pick up "Falling Grass Collection" and study it carefully. But after studying for a long time, I found nothing. He had no choice but to continue to cultivate according to the methods written in the book.
โโThis time, the scene that came to mind was still a down-and-out young man fighting the mid-level samurai, but the way he fought had changed. The down-and-out young man held a long sword, using only one kind of swordsmanship, and his seemingly unpretentious moves were easily defeated by his opponent. Kuang Yongyi's surprise was even greater than just now. He was about to look at it again, but this time the down-and-out young man was a short knife, and he also used only one knife technique, a simple and unpretentious move, to easily defeat the opponent. Look again, look again, look again, the down-and-out young man has used swords, knives, guns, sticks, whips, and palms to defeat his opponents.
โโKuang Yongyi opened his eyes, put down the book, thought hard for a long time, and finally understood a truth, the martial arts of the young man who used knives, swords, sticks, and guns to melt in a furnace at the beginning of the grass have never been able to defeat the opponent, but the knives, swords, sticks, and swords alone have defeated the opponent. At the beginning of martial arts, the sword is a knife, the sword is a sword, the sword is practiced, and the sword is practiced. When the strength is improved, it is necessary to melt the sword in a furnace, the knife is not a knife, the sword is not a sword, the practice of the sword is like the practice of the sword, the practice of the sword is like the practice of the knife, which has leapt to a new realm. He originally thought that being able to integrate a variety of martial arts was the highest level, but now he realized that he was wrong. Like the young man who fell into the grass, the knife is still a knife, the sword is still a sword, the knife is a knife, the sword is a sword, and returning to the roots is a higher realm.
โโ"Before, I fused the "Qingyun Sword Technique", "Divine Sword Sutra", "Plum Blossom Sword" and the Drifting Snow Sword Technique into one furnace, thinking that it was just the second realm. As a matter of urgency, I must return these martial arts to their roots and strive to reach the third level in order to perform better in the next selection competitions. โ
โโIt is difficult to integrate several kinds of martial arts, and it is even more difficult to return principles after fusion. Kuang Yongyi is busy with this matter these days, and he can be described as anxious. But he is busy, but there are people who are idle. That was Luo Ying, she didn't care about the elite tryouts at all. Originally, she signed up because Kuang Yongyi signed up, and she signed up. Her purpose is not to become an elite, but to help Kuang Yongyi clear some obstacles and reduce some opponents. Of course, if she becomes an elite, she will not refuse, provided that Kuang Yongyi also becomes an elite, and she always wants to be with Kuang Yongyi.
โโLuo Ying has nothing to do, and comes to Kuang Yongyi to play every day. Kuang Yongyi could only make up various reasons to shirk every day, and then cultivate alone. For Luo Ying, Kuang Yongyi felt both envious and helpless, she cultivated so easily every day, and then successfully became an intermediate samurai. Although my realm is higher than hers, I am afraid that I may not be able to win her in the battle. She has been helping me for the past six years, but she has also caused me a lot of trouble, and I am afraid that I will meet some strong opponents in this competition. Ay......
โโIt turned out that the students of their current class were all fifteen or sixteen years old, and some of them had already begun to fall in love, and beautiful girls were naturally sought after, and boys who were with beautiful girls were inevitably jealous. Luo Ying was born beautiful, she didn't think it was in the first two years, but she has grown up smart in the past two years, and some good deeds have named her the first beauty of the Drifting Snow Sword Department. There have been many pretentious boys who have begun to pursue her, not limited to this year, not limited to the main department. Those boys are indispensable samurai, especially those middle and high-level samurai, who will be in the way of Kuang Yongyi's elite.
โโKuang Yongyi smiled bitterly, and then continued to cultivate.
