Chapter 3 The First Task
Yang Yuan and the others were unscrupulous to the original owner before, and they had never been punished, in addition to the problems of the original owner himself, they were also inseparable from the Great Elder.
Shi Xiaole weighed it in his heart and said, "Yesterday, the kid was knocked unconscious by Senior Brother Yang's design, so he missed the annual test. The kid was planning to wait for the master to leave the customs, explain the situation to him, and then leave. ”
When the Great Elder heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly.
In the past year, the head of the sect has spent most of his time in retreat, and he can cover the sky with one hand.
Originally, the plan of the Great Elder was to drive Shi Xiaole away before the head of the sect went out, but by then the wood was already in the boat, and there was no proof of death, and I believe that the head of the sect was helpless.
But now it seems that Shi Xiaole, this kid, is not very stupid.
The Great Elder said coldly: "There are no rules, there is no circle. No matter what reason you have, if you can't pass the annual test, you are not a disciple of the Sword Painting School, even if you are a disciple of the head of the sect. The old man ordered you to get out of here today! Otherwise, don't blame the old man for being polite!"
As he spoke, a strong momentum rushed out and pressed Shi Xiaole head-on. If you don't leave, I'll do it.
"Shi Xiaole, it's a shame for you to keep it, so let's go home quickly. Hahaha......"
Seeing this, Yang Yuan laughed proudly. The few people around him were silent.
Under the pressure of the invisible momentum, Shi Xiaole's wounds continued to bleed. He was angry in his heart, but he did not speak, and staggered back to the house, apparently packing up his things.
Many disciples of the Sword Painting School dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, on the one hand, they sympathized with Shi Xiaole. On the other hand, the Great Elder's eating appearance was a little ugly, and he was really desperate for the sake of Senior Brother Qin.
The Great Elder's eyes flickered, and he suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Shi Xiaole turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
The Great Elder secretly scolded the kid for being cunning, and he suddenly thought that wouldn't it be bad if this kid went back and explained the situation to his aunt.
Yes, this kid is so obedient, he must have this idea and wants to turn around and bite people. Hmph, the old man has lived for so many years, how could he be planted in your hands?
The corners of the Great Elder's mouth hooked up a hint of mockery, and said, "Shi Xiaole, the old man thinks about it, he should still give you a chance." That's it, now the old man makes up the test for you, and if you pass the level, you can not go. ”
Some of the disciples of the Sword Painting Sect secretly exclaimed. This great elder is not going to give Shi Xiaole a way to live.
The content of the annual test is divided into two parts: internal strength and moves.
The requirements for internal strength are low, as long as it reaches the double level of Qi Storage, which Shi Xiaole undoubtedly meets. But in terms of moves, it is more difficult, and you need to reach the state of perfection of the form.
Since ancient times, the moves have been divided into three major realms, namely form, divine combination, and incarnation. Each realm is divided into three stages: small success, great success, and consummation.
Don't look at the consummation as only the first stage, but for ordinary people, it will take at least several years of hard work.
Shi Xiaole's talent is not bad, but it is not high, it is said that out of ten times, there are four or five times that he can achieve the consummation of the form.
In the case of no injury, he is not completely sure, and now he is injured, which will inevitably greatly affect his performance, where can he still pass the annual test?
Shi Xiaole looked at the Great Elder, and suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in his head: "Rise to the challenge and live up to the true character of a man!" ”
"Mission difficulty: 1 star. ”
"Task reward: Third-rate martial arts will be randomly selected once, and the reward value will be 100 points. Failure Penalty: Erase the host and start from scratch. ”
Shi Xiaole was slightly shocked in his heart.
He didn't expect that the system would release the mission so soon, and this level was only one star, it was hard to imagine how difficult it would be to be a five-star mission.
However, as the system said, only by facing difficulties can we live up to the true character of a man. Since the Great Elder wanted to suppress himself so much that he couldn't turn over, then he happened to be in full view of everyone, and let him lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot!
"The Great Elder Chrysostom is straightforward, and the kid is afraid that it will be difficult to pass. ”
Shi Xiaole said.
"Hmph, you don't have to be sarcastic about the old man, there are so many pairs of eyes here, they can't be fake, they can't be fake. ”
"In that case, why don't you give it a try, boy!"
Picking up his sword, Shi Xiaole walked to the center of the courtyard step by step. In the eyes of everyone, this is clearly his last fight, full of helplessness.
The Great Elder smiled, but in fact he was silently mocking, and Yang Yuan laughed heartily, very heartily. Many disciples had pity in their eyes.
Shi Xiaole took a deep breath.
Looks like perfection?
After practicing last night and this morning, he is confident that he can succeed at least eight out of ten drills, but that was before the injury. Now that he is injured, the success rate has undoubtedly been greatly reduced.
No, it should be said that for normal people, it is almost impossible to succeed in this situation, because when people are in pain, their movements will be unconsciously deformed, and they are not at all controllable.
But Shi Xiaole was not afraid.
The fusion of the souls of the two worlds has brought his self-control to an inhuman level. His mind was empty, and he put on a good posture, he didn't think about it, and a sword stabbed straight out, which was the basic swordsmanship of the Sword Painting School.
Brush brush brush.
While Shi Xiaole swung his sword, blood continued to ooze from the bandage, and even the person who stood the farthest could see the cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead. But his movements didn't change at all.
Not only did it not become twisted, but it was in place.
"Senior Brother Shi!"
Someone whispered.
By the time the eighteen-style basic swordsmanship practice was completed, the left side of Shi Xiaole's upper body had been stained red with blood, he looked at the Great Elder, and asked in a pant voice, "How?"
The Great Elder's face was cloudy, the fists in his sleeves were clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched, and finally endured the killing intent, and said gloomily: "Shi Xiaole, you are very good!" turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait. ”
Shi Xiaole shouted: "In the past year, the five people of Yang Yuan have deliberately harmed me many times, and I have missed the annual test yesterday, and I have already violated the rules of the sect. ”
In front of everyone's eyes, the Great Elder's face turned pale. This matter is well known among the disciples, of course he can't deny it, gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Yuan is five people, facing the wall for three months!"
"Great Elder, this, this ......"
Yang Yuan's five people were stupid, and their faces were as white as paper.
The so-called March is to be alone, locked in a dark hut for three months, and not see the light of day. The loneliness and horror are indescribable.
In the past, those who were punished in this way were either insane or insane, and few recovered.
The disciples present couldn't help but gloat, and at the same time looked at Shi Xiaole, and two kind-hearted female disciples took the initiative to come up to clean his wounds and re-bind the bandages.
Shi Xiaole smiled at them and said sincerely, "Thank you two senior sisters." ”
His smile revealed two neat rows of white teeth, full of sunny smell, which made the second daughter blush.
After cleaning up, after everyone left, Shi Xiaole immediately closed the courtyard door, returned to the bed in the room, closed his eyes and pondered, and arrived in front of the Martial God Temple.
Previously, the system had notified him that he had completed the task, and now he came in precisely to redeem the reward.
"Does the host do the extraction immediately?"
The system asked.
"Extraction. ”
On the first floor of the Martial God Palace, the square aura flickered for a while, and even Shi Xiaole's mood became apprehensive. Although it is only a third-rate martial arts, there is no doubt that there is definitely a big gap between the upper grade and the lower grade.
Shi Xiaole only hopes that even if he can't draw the top grade, he will come to the middle grade at worst. Well, even if there is no middle grade, the lower grade is fine, as long as it is not ......
"Congratulations to the host, this time you took the time. ”
Looking at the blank stone wall, Shi Xiaole's heart seemed to have 10,000 horses galloping by. Ten percent probability, can you encounter it so small?
Shaking his head, Shi Xiaole asked in a sullen voice, "One hundred reward points, how long can I redeem for cultivation time?"
Since he couldn't draw martial arts, he could only hope that the cultivation time would be longer.
The system replied, "For one hour, you need to pay ten points for the reward." ”
Shi Xiaole nodded slightly, in this way, he can cultivate in the Martial God Hall for ten hours, which is equivalent to more than six hours more than others according to the flow rate of three to one.
"Friendly reminder to the host, if you can cultivate martial arts to a certain level, you can get additional reward points of the system. In addition, the host can also get reward points by contributing the martial arts of this world to the Martial God Temple. The size of the reward value depends on the situation. ”
The system added again, which made Shi Xiaole's mood much better.
Because he gradually felt that it was not easy to get reward points, and it was always easier to have one more way.
Shi Xiaole looked at the prices of various third-rate martial arts, and found that even if he got the Huashan Sword Technique, he needed a reward value of one hundred and fifty points, and he couldn't afford anything at all with one hundred points.
Shaking his head, he immediately exchanged it for ten hours of cultivation time. As for saving up reward points and buying martial arts later, it doesn't make any sense.
His current strength is too weak, and improving his strength is the top priority.
Shi Xiaole was very sure that the Great Elder would never give up, although it was impossible to deal with himself clearly, but cold arrows were indispensable.
So, he had to grow quickly.
In the Martial God Temple, there was no injury, hunger, Shi Xiaole had no distractions, and in the blink of an eye, ten hours passed. By the time he withdrew from the Martial God Temple, it was only afternoon in the outside world.
"My Huashan swordsmanship has been thoroughly cultivated to the point where the shape is complete, and as for the basic swordsmanship of the Sword Painting School, it is not far from the Shenhe realm, and the progress is good. ”
If a disciple of the Sword Painting Sect heard Shi Xiaole's words, his jaw would definitely drop in shock.
It's only been ten hours, and the basic swordsmanship of the Sword Sect will be cultivated from an unstable form to a consummation to a close to the realm of divine harmony, which is too fast.
And listening to him, there is more than one kind of swordsmanship.
At this moment, Shi Xiaole's aura did not change at all, but if he really wanted to fight, he was sure that even if he didn't rely on a sneak attack, he would be able to defeat Yang Yuan and the others.
From the consummation of the form to the nearness of the divine harmony, this is not a one-point progress, but a qualitative progress. To put it mildly, only by mastering the charm of swordsmanship can you truly exert the power of swordsmanship.
In the next few days, Shi Xiaole recuperated and cultivated in the small courtyard every day.
Because the wound on his left chest was deliberate, it seemed dangerous, but it was not as serious as imagined, so by half a month, it was almost healed.
Brush brush brush.
In the courtyard, Shi Xiaole wielded a long sword, the sword light was dazzling, and each style gave people a dangerous and unexpected charm.
Huashan swordsmanship has cultivated him to the realm of Shenhe Xiaocheng!
As for the easier basic swordsmanship of the Sword Drawing School, he had already reached the Divine Combination as early as yesterday.
"Now that my swordsmanship has made great progress, and my cultivation is about to break through to the triple level of Tibetan Qi, maybe I can go to the martial arts arena to have a look. ”
Putting away his sword and standing, Shi Xiaole said to himself lightly.
Behind closed doors has never been his style, and to be honest, he hasn't had good contact with other disciples of the Sword Painting Sect.
