"Knock knock. Early the next morning, Luo Yi was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Who, early in the morning, didn't let people sleep. Luo Yi got up a little bit, and went to open the door after tidying up a little. "It's you, Shi Lei, can't you talk about anything at noon! Don't you know that dozing in the morning is the most comfortable?"

Shi Lei is slightly shorter than Luo Yi, only about 1.7 meters, but he is much fatter. The middle of the bridge of the nose is collapsed, the eyes are still small, and in a sense, they are not even ordinary looks. He and Luo Yi are in the same class, and they have a good relationship.

"You can still sleep, I'm anxious for you. Do you know that Mei Chao broke through to the earth realm within the first year after becoming an official disciple?"

"Oh, now I know. Luo Yi replied casually.

In this way, it has been more than two years since he embarked on the path of cultivation, and he is really not an idle person, with arrogant capital. In the past year, he often competes with people who have broken through in the same class, and if he just wins, it will be fine, but he beats others quite badly every time. The most serious one was unable to get out of bed for three days and could not be cured for a month. ”

"Oh, it seems that he is quite powerful!" Luo Yi washed his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Shi Lei looked at his calm appearance, and he was really more anxious than himself: "So, when you fight him tomorrow, he doesn't want to win you and humiliate you at all, but wants to fix you." Now, can you still sleep?"

Luo Yi said: "I can't sleep, I've been noisy by you for so long, and I'm sleepy, and it seems that there is no drama in going back to sleep." ”

"You're not in a hurry?"

"I'm in a hurry, but what's the solution!"

Shi Lei looked back and thought about it, yes. He walked back and forth in the house, and suddenly said, "Yes, I have a solution." I'm going to talk to him today, and by the way, I can't get out of bed for three days, so that tomorrow he will lose because of his absence, how about it?"

"It's a good solution, but it's too shady and obvious. ”

"Obviously, it's obvious, he knows that you haven't broken through to the earth realm, and he still challenges you, isn't this also an obvious bully?" The difference between a breakthrough and no breakthrough is very big, like the difference between a nymph and a butterfly.

Before the Earth Realm, it was almost impossible to control the power of nature, and could only perceive its existence. After that, it is completely different, you can use your own energy as an introduction to mobilize the power of nature to condense and present, and there are four or two thousand catties. And it will also vary from person to person, creating different techniques, which is a qualitative change.

Luo Yi said: "Forget it, I don't want this kind of competition to evolve to the point of horror." If he does do a bad job at me, it's not too late for you to do it again. ”

"Why do you have to suffer this sin, or I can go and beat him to a half-crippled heart, and give him the whole internal wounds to heal, so that you can win him tomorrow in the open. ”

"Thanks, but I still want to do it myself. Although there is little hope of victory, only in this way can we make a name for ourselves and block the mouths of the people. I also want to take this opportunity to verify myself, what level the bottom is in, where my limit is, and what is going on in my body!"

"So that's what you think, so I'll leave it alone. If you need to beat someone up in the back, remember to find me. Shi Lei put his mind at ease.

"Hmm. ”

After Shi Lei left, several waves of people came. There are those who have bad ideas, those who want to teach quickly on the spot, and those who persuade them to run away, which really moved Luo Yi to a mess. In the end, Luo Yi disappeared, and the people who came behind returned in vain.

In order to avoid people who knew him, Luo Yi came to a forest outside the third world, and now his ears were finally quiet, accompanied by his master Gu Xi.

Gu Xi looked to be about thirty years old, with black hair over the shoulders, a simple bunch of hair back in a row, well-defined contours, and a straight nose and thin lips. He is about 1.8 meters tall, his limbs are not thick but strong and powerful, and his speech is particularly clear.

Gu Xi asked, "Is there still no sign of a breakthrough?"

"No, although I can clearly perceive the natural energy that is free from my surroundings, I can't have any connection with it. "If you can control it a little, it is the time to break through the realm.

"Don't rush, take your time and go with the flow. ”

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "But I'm too unnatural, isn't it that I can't break through at all, or that I'm not suitable for cultivation at all?"

Gu Xi said: "There are very few physiques that are not suitable for cultivation, and you are not among them. When I teach you, you can understand the main points by reading and listening to them, and you can also draw inferences from others. It shows that there is no problem with your talent and qualifications, and you are better than ordinary people. According to common sense, you should be able to break through to the earth realm in a very short period of time after becoming a full-fledged disciple. ”

"So what's wrong with me?"

"I don't know, so let it be. Probably it has something to do with your state of mind. In a few days, I will take you back to your hometown, which will be your first trip. Take this opportunity to relax, and maybe your breakthrough will be found. ”

Luo Yi said a little frustratedly: "I hope so." ”

The master and apprentice chatted for more than an hour, walking casually. I accidentally walked to the side of a small mountain, and suddenly felt a strange movement in front of me, and birds and beasts flew away. Gu Xi thought that someone was fighting, so they quickened their pace.

But when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, a cold sword aura came in. Gu Xi leaned back, just avoided it, and pushed Luo Yi behind a big tree. As soon as the sword qi passed, a white figure appeared in front of Gu Xi and confronted him head-on. Gu Xi used his right index finger and middle finger to represent the sword, and resolved the opponent's moves one by one.

Gu Xi was surprised that he was a Heaven Realm cultivator, but he couldn't quickly take down an Earth Realm cultivator. Seeing that the other party didn't make a killing move, he just wanted to force himself back, so he also had reservations.

In the fierce moves between the two, Luo Yi finally saw each other's faces clearly. He was very delicate and handsome, so beautiful that women would be jealous, and his white clothes were clean and tidy. Although it looks gentle and elegant, the sword rises and falls, and one move is very sharp.

"Senior Brother Shangguan, we are also from the third generation, and that is my master Gu Xi. Luo Yi hurriedly shouted.

Senior Brother Shangguan collected his sword, and Gu Xi also accepted it.

Senior Brother Shangguan scolded Gu Xi: "It turned out to be Master Gu, rude." The younger generation Shangguan has no trace, and my younger brother Shangguan has no trace to cross the land in the valley, and Master Dong and I are here to protect the Dharma so as not to be disturbed. ”

Gu Xi said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, disturbed, then we will leave now." ”

Luo Yi said: "Ah, the junior brother of Wuji has broken through, and I saw him yesterday." Oh, by the way, my name is Luo Yi. ”

"Hello Senior Brother Luo Yi, I heard Wuji talk about you, he said that you may have encountered some bottlenecks, but a breakthrough is a matter of time. "Shangguan Wuxian is a disciple of Luo Yi in the last session, and his popularity among the disciples of the third generation is even higher than Luo Yi, but he is positive.

During the physical training, Shangguan Wuxian broke through to the earth realm on his own without the guidance of his master. At that time, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, the youngest breakthrough since the establishment of the Third Dynasty, and the first person to break through in physical training. Not only that, but after becoming an official disciple, he was even more wicked.

In order to motivate the young people to join the third generation to practice martial arts, the third generation held a martial arts exercise between the earth realms every six years, and arranged the final two winners to compete in the outer mountains for everyone to watch. In Shangguan Wuji's session, Shangguan Wuxian also participated in that martial arts exercise in order to motivate his younger brother, and also successfully entered the finals.

The other person in the final was Long Yin, who had won the championship many times, and the competition was extremely exciting, and Long Yin lost in the end. After the martial arts, Shangguan Wuxian and Long Yin became good friends, which can be described as a beautiful conversation.

Shangguan Wuxian not only has a good image, but also is kind and humble, coupled with excellent talent, he is almost a perfect person.

Luo Yi said: "I want to watch the Invisible Senior Brother's Earth Tribulation outside, to see if I can find an opportunity to break through, I don't know if it?"

Shangguan Wuxian agreed after thinking for a while: "Yes, having Master Gu by his side can be regarded as an extra guarantee for my brother." ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shangguan. ”

Shangguan Wuxian led them to the top of the mountain, which was a valley in front of them, surrounded by mountains, two of which were rocky cliffs. Gu Xi hugged his fist at the opposite mountain, and there was a middle-aged man standing on a big tree on the opposite mountain, presumably Shangguan Wuji's master, and he also returned the salute to Gu Xi.

In the valley, Shangguan Wuji was concentrating on dealing with his own land tribulation, there were many sword marks on the ground around him, and there were many stones of different sizes in the distance. He already had several sword wounds on his body, his clothes were stained red with blood, and his right hand holding the sword was trembling.

There were many stone swords of different lengths flying in the air, attacking him from different angles from time to time, and some stone swords came out of the stone wall and continued to attack him. Shangguan Wuxian sometimes struck the stone sword flying, and sometimes smashed the stone sword, judging from the gravel on the ground and his state of coping with it, this state should have lasted for a while.

Luo Yi asked, "Has it started for a long time?"

Shangguan Wuxian replied: "Well, it's been an hour, presumably this is the last wave, and it should be over soon." ”

Gu Xi frowned and said, "It's not that simple, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the Sword Saint Valley." ”

"Well, it's the Sword Saint Valley. ”

Gu Xi said: "That's not good, crossing the land here, it can be described as extremely dangerous, and no one has succeeded since the legend." ”

Luo Yi heard some clues and asked, "What's going on, what kind of legend is here?"

Gu Xi said: "Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a predecessor who was extraordinary in swordsmanship, and he created one hundred and eight styles of swordsmanship, with strange moves, and no one could stop him. There are few opponents in swordsmanship, and he is the pride of an era, and people call him the sword master. ”

In his later years, he often practiced swords in this valley, and the heavens and the earth engraved his sword intent, so as soon as people entered this valley, they could hear the sound of swords, so it was named the Sword Saint Valley. It is said that in the end, the Sword Saint turned into a path here, and his one hundred and eight styles that are unique in the world are also hidden in this valley. ”

"There was once a Tianjiao boy who crossed the catastrophe here, trying to use the opportunity of the earth tribulation to lead the sword duel. Sure enough, the one hundred and eight styles were finally revealed, but the young man also died in the swordsmanship. After that, people came here one after another to try the style, but all of them ended in failure, ranging from death on the spot, to half-ruined and never able to embark on the path of cultivation, and none of them succeeded. ”

Luo Yi exclaimed after hearing this: "Ah, it turned out to be so terrifying, why did he come here to cross the catastrophe, it was too reckless!"

Shangguan Wuxian said helplessly: "He saw that the heroes of the world were multiplied, and he didn't want to be a foil for others, so he insisted on coming here to cross the catastrophe." I can't resist him, I'm too tough and I'm afraid it will affect his Dao heart. He had already touched the opportunity to break through, and he had forced it until now, and he really couldn't hold it down before he came here to cross the catastrophe, so it can be regarded as a preparation for this!"

"How sure is he himself?" Luo Yi asked.

"Fifty percent, presumably there is me and his master here to protect the Fa, if it doesn't work, I can protect his life, and then go to Master You Hong in the Ten Directions to find a Three Thousand Fruit, which will definitely allow him to embark on the path of cultivation again. ”

Luo Yi was slightly relieved: "But it's still too risky, but now I can only cheer for him, I hope he succeeds." ”

A few people looked at Gu Zhong again, and there were fewer and fewer flying swords in the air. Shangguan Wuji waved the sword in his hand, every move was very clean and neat, and it was also overflowing with sword energy. His master and brother were overjoyed, and he was indeed very talented in swordsmanship.

After Shangguan Wuxian shot down the last stone sword, everything fell silent. He slowly closed his eyes and began to perceive everything around him, while also adjusting his own state. Because he knew that the real danger was coming, everyone on the mountain began to get nervous, and there was a bad premonition.

After a while, the valley was so quiet that it was as if the footsteps of ants could be heard.

Leaning less, Shangguan Wuxian heard a crisp sword roar, and he suddenly opened his eyes and saw a rich energy pouring into the valley. The sound of the sword roared more and more, so much that he couldn't tell the direction, and finally it shook him to a splitting headache and bleeding.

Even outside the valley, the sound of swords can be heard. Everyone took it seriously and walked to the nearest place as much as possible, but they didn't dare to rush in to help, otherwise they would hurt him.
