The Dragon's Hidden Arc Chapter 5 First Appearance: Chu Yuanhao
Another day, under the big locust tree, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, watching Mother Yu and a group of children playing and playing on the lawn, Jun Yan ended the morning's practice. While Xiao Mengying beside him was asleep, Jun Yan drove the spiritual energy in his body and slowly consumed the seal on his right arm. Since he was tested by the dean again, he has paid more attention to cultivation, even if he is entangled by Xiao Mengying and it is difficult to get out, he has never been left behind.
Jun Yan secretly said in his heart: "Unsealing the spirit pattern is an extremely consuming thing of spiritual energy, and spiritual energy has been tempered between repeated consumption and replenishment, and it will gradually increase, and it is also an excellent cultivation method." After carefully examining himself, Jun Yan came to the conclusion: "Although I haven't broken through the first order yet, the strength and total amount of spiritual energy should be on par with ordinary eleventh level cultivators. But this is also the limit, my meridians are already faintly swollen and painful, and further cultivation will only backfire. β
After these days of accumulation, the first layer of the seal has reached the verge of being completely lifted, and it can be broken at any time. It's just that according to the mutilated memory, there is one more step to be taken. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
"Count the days, brother, they should be back tonight. Jun Yan wiped her saliva for the sleeping little Mengying, "Without further ado, let's be promoted to the first rank tonight!"
Just thinking about it, the children who were sitting together in the distance to listen to Yu's mother's story suddenly became noisy and ran towards the gate of the courtyard in unisonβit turned out that everyone who had gone out to buy had returned. I saw a burly middle-aged man leading a carriage, followed by two older boys, who were surrounded by children and entered the courtyard.
Shopping is always one of the activities that children are most interested in, no matter when and where they are.
"Uncle Lei, have you bought Didi the Bear's new dress?" Sasha asked, holding the Ragdoll Bear, who never left her hand, a little anxiously.
"Ha! Kuihu, you have lost! I declare that this treasure belongs to me, Kuilong!" Xiaolong climbed directly into the carriage and shouted to everyone, pointing to the purchased supplies.
"Xiaolong, you are playing tricks again, you said who got into the car first, and you actually ran first!" Xiaohu was not far behind, and climbed up in the car.
"Apple juice, apple juice!" shouted Xiaobao as he jumped behind him.
This burly man is Uncle Lei Ming, who is tall, even more upright than the dean, meticulous in his work, and often criticizes naughty and mischievous children. But because he is young and strong, he is in charge of the procurement of the yard, and often brings all kinds of small gifts to the children, so the children love and hate him.
Seeing that Sasha in front of him was blocking the way of the carriage, Uncle Lei did not hesitate to grab Sasha's collar and lift her up, and then put her on the horse.
Sasha thought that the uncle was going to be angry, so she closed her eyes in fright, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting on horseback, and Uncle Lei, with his hand in his arms, took out a delicate little clothes like a trick. "That's for you. The next time you dare to stand in front of the carriage, your bear will be hit with you. The uncle looked serious, turned around and glared, Xiaolong and Xiaohu immediately died down and became honest, while Xiaobao, who was a little more timid, was directly frightened and cried.
"Xiaolong Xiaohu, don't come down yet!"
"Xiaobao, don't cry, the apple juice is ready for you, take it when you go back, good!"
Two older boys also helped. The tall one had slightly longer hair, squinted eyes, and looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, this was Qin Zixuan, the oldest child in the Young Dragon Academy. The younger one is about ten years old, and compared with his peers, he can be regarded as handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but there is no trace of cold air, but he is smiling, which makes people feel kind, this is Chu Chenghao.
"It's really just there. Jun Yan got up, watched the group gradually walk in, and then looked at the sleeping little Mengying beside him, leaned sideways to get close to Tong Mengying's ears, and said softly: "The sugar gourd is here, if you don't get up, there will be no more!"
"Sugar gourd, where is there a sugar gourd?" Xiao Mengying woke up instantly, wiped the drooling saliva with her hand and hurriedly got up, but saw Jun Yan on the side covering her mouth and snickering, and immediately became angry. "Okay, Brother Jun Yan, you are playing tricks on me again. He raised his pink fist and waved it at Jun Yan.
"Hey, how can I play tricks on you?" Jun Yan was hammered indiscriminately, unable to parry, and hurriedly explained: "Look over there for yourself! Uncle Lei, they have purchased it from the county. β
Xiao Mengying found the carriage traveling not far away, and she didn't care about making trouble with Jun Yan anymore, so she pulled him up and ran, "Really, yes, really Brother Jun Yan, hurry up, I'm here for the sugar gourd!"
When Xiao Mengying pulled Jun Yan to catch up with the carriage, a group of children had been reprimanded and quieted a lot, Uncle Lei was leading the horse, chatting with Mother Yu about some gossip, and Shen Hao was holding Xiaobao who was sobbing and sobbing.
"Mother Yu, Uncle Lei, Brother Zixuan!" Jun Yan led Meng Ying to greet everyone, and then walked towards Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao was the first to greet him: "Brother, I'm back." β
"It's good to be back, it's been hard along the way. Jun Yan patted Cheng Hao's shoulder, intending to take Xiao Bao in his arms, and when he stretched out his hands, Cheng Hao handed Xiao Bao over - no matter what happened, the two have always been so tacit. While handing over Xiaobao, Cheng Hao gave Jun Yan a look, Jun Yan nodded lightly, didn't make a sound, took the child into his arms, and then chatted with him again.
After that, it's time to organize the supplies and prepare lunch, without going into details.
After lunch, it was supposed to be a break, but there was a banging knock on the door in Jun Yan's bedroom. "Brother, have you slept?" was the voice of Meteor Hao.
Jun Yan opened the door, only to see Chu Chenghao with a spear and bow and arrows in his hand, tilting his head and smiling at Jun Yan, "Brother, go hunting in the woods." β
"Hunting, now?" Jun Yan was a little puzzled, "You just came back from the county, and you've traveled a long way, why don't you take a rest first?"
"There's no need to rest. Along the way, almost Uncle Lei was busy, and Brother Zi and I were just helping. As soon as Yan Hao grabbed Jun Yan and walked out, he said as he walked: "In the afternoon, Mother Yu and Uncle Lei will continue to sort out the supplies, and the younger brothers and sisters will be taken care of by Sister Qing and Brother Zixuan, isn't this a good time for us to go out hunting? Hurry up, brother!"
"Hey, you told me to change my clothes!"
The two of them were ready to gather and set off immediately. At the gate of the courtyard, he met the ancient head who wanted to stop the two, and Cheng Hao skillfully took out a pot of soju, and ran towards the forest in the laughter and scolding of the ancient head "go early and return early".
The two walked through the forest, and Yuan Junyan held a bow and carried an arrow on his back, walking in front. Chu Chenghao carried three spears and followed behind him. Jun Yan, who was already close to the first order, was full of physical strength, and his quick break in the woods was very fast. Surprisingly, Shen Hao's speed was not much slower than Jun Yan's, and when he looked back, Shen Hao was following him steadily.
"My brother is getting stronger again. Jun Yan secretly said in his heart, and in the middle of the journey, he asked Shen Hao, "Brother, you have been promoted to the eighth level, right?"
There was some pride in his voice, and he replied, "Hehe, I broke through on the way back from the county, so I was in a hurry to go out hunting with you to see how much stronger I was than before." Originally, I was thinking that when I encountered the prey, I showed my hand, but I didn't expect this to be seen by my brother. β
In the Young Dragon Academy, only the two eldest children, Qin Zixuan and Liu Qingqing, were taught to practice by the dean and others. As the eldest brother of all the children, he has a good cultivation talent, and at the age of fourteen, he is already at the seventh level of the first order, which is the seventeenth level of general knowledge. And Sister Qingqing's cultivation talent is average, and she is only one month younger than Zi Yan, but she is only a first-order and second-order. Shen Hao was still young, and he was not instructed by the dean to cultivate, but he secretly cultivated under Jun Yan's order, but he also had an eighth-level cultivation. Such a talent is already quite terrifying.
Jun Yan and the two walked to the boulder next to the small lake of the waterfall and stopped, this naturally carved round boulder was given a concise name by the surrounding hunters: Deep Forest Stone. It means that if you go further from here, you will be in the deep forest. Jun Yan and Shen Hao plan to wash their faces and rest their feet here. The surrounding ancient trees are towering. The sun is covered in thick shade, far away and silent, or rather, there is no one around. The two took off their shoes and soaked their feet in the water, and were speechless for a while.
"Brother, this is what you asked me to bring you. Shen Hao said in a low voice, took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve, and handed it to Jun Yan. Jun Yan nodded, and without checking, he took the cloth bag and stuffed it into his arms, got up and said, "Let's go, if you keep playing, there will be no time to hunt." β
"Hmm!"
The two of them crossed the rocks in the mountains, bent down and lightened their steps, carefully observing their surroundings, looking for prey. Not long after, Jun Yan found a hare and wanted to shoot with a bow, but was stopped by Cheng Hao's shoulder.
"Brother, look at what is over there. His voice was low enough to hide his excitement. Jun Yan looked in the direction pointed by Meteor Hao, and found that there was a large man wriggling under the big tree in the distance. Judging by the red thorn on its back, it was a red-hyena boar.
Different from ordinary wild boars, the body of the red hyena boar contains spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy possessed by adult wild boars is similar to that of a cultivator of the sixth or seventh level, and it can be regarded as a kind of magical beast, but most of the magical beasts have the strength of more than one order, and only a few of the red hyena wild boar can break through the first order, and the red thorns on their backs will also be contaminated with fire spiritual energy and become a fire hyena boar. The spiritual energy contained in the body makes its flesh delicious and beneficial to cultivators, but it is not of high level and therefore not strong, making it one of the best prey.
"Meteor Hao, our prey today is him, and today's limelight is given to you. Having made up his mind, Jun Yan beckoned Cheng Hao to slowly approach the red hyena boar.
"Okay, brother. Shen Hao understood and touched to the side, Jun Yan climbed to a tree, and Shen Hao also ambushed. The two found their positions, got ready, and signaled to each other. And the red-hyena boar didn't know it, arching the mud pile beside the old tree.
With a bang, a bow and arrow struck the boar, hitting the boar in the right eye. The wild boar snorted in pain, but instead of fleeing immediately, it was stimulated to the wild, turned around with the other eye, and looked around, looking for the enemy who was coming. Jun Yan did not hesitate, and fired two more arrows at the furious red hyena boar, but this time he did not shoot the wild boar, but shot behind the wild boar.
"Hmph!" the wild boar found the murderer who had blinded him in one eye, and ran towards Jun Yan with two roars. Jun Yan was not idle, and three more arrows were shot out, affecting the charge of the wild boar and controlling the speed of the wild boar.
Just when the wild boar was about to rush in front of Jun Yan, two spears suddenly flew out of the grass, one in front and one behind, and the red-hyena boar had to turn in order to avoid the attack of the first spear, but it happened to be tripped by the second spear nailed to the ground, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Aiming at the opportunity, he did not hesitate to rush in front of the boar that fell to the ground with his last spear, aimed it at the head of the red boar, and stabbed it hard.
"Success!" Jun Yan thought to himself, the ordinary red-hyena wild boar couldn't withstand the full force of the eighth-level Shenhao, not to mention that this wild boar was also ambushed by the two of them and was blind in one eye.
However, it backfired, Jun Yan did not hear the cheers of his imaginary younger brother, but instead a blazing red light flashed, and he saw that Yang Hao was bounced up by him and fell to the ground fiercely, making a painful sound. And the boar, with a spear and an arrow stuck in the eye of a spear on its head, stood up in the red light, and the red thorns on its back burned and crackled. With a low roar, he struck at Chu Yuhao, who was slumped to the ground, and saw that the latter was about to be stabbed by the long fangs of the wild boar.
It's broken! This is the release of spiritual energy! Jun Yan was shocked in his heart. Where is this red hyena wild boar, this is a fire hyena wild boar that really has first-order strength!
