Chapter 9: The Final Race

On the second day, Longmen Immortal Academy held a challenge competition for first-class students. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ding Xuan also encouraged Wu Ming to go up and try it, and all the students in the audience also encouraged him to go up, but Wu Ming was unmoved, just stayed quietly below.

That day passed, Wu Ming got into the carriage driven by Uncle Lin again.

Wow. Under the slightly dim skylight, the carriage headed towards Wu's house.

Wu Ming said in the back: "Uncle Lin, don't be so fast, let's talk." ”

Although Uncle Lin was puzzled, he still slowed down.

Wu Ming asked, "Uncle Lin, do you know where to buy Ascending Immortal Grass?"

"Ascending Immortal Grass? I really don't know. It's getting late now, and most of the shops in the market are probably closed, so why don't I go and look for it tomorrow?"

Wu Ming said: "Uncle Lin, it's still early, why don't we go shopping?"

"Shopping, no!" Uncle Lin said undoubtedly, "Let's go home first." If you want to ascend to the Immortal Grass, just send someone to buy it back. ”

Wu Ming saw that Uncle Lin was very resolute, so he didn't say anything more, and he also understood that Uncle Lin was worried about his safety.

Wow dung. The speed of the carriage was getting faster again. After a short time, he had arrived at the Wu Mansion.

Uncle Lin stopped the carriage, asked Wu Ming to come down, and said, "Xiao Ming, you go to eat first, I will send someone to buy the Ascending Immortal Grass, if you can buy it, I will send it to you in a while." ”

"Oh, good. Wu Ming said goodbye to Uncle Lin and ran towards the front hall......

On this day, Wu Zheng left in a hurry after eating again.

Although the elders did not stop it, Wu Ming could feel that the elders seemed to have an idea about this Ascending Immortal Grass.

Ascending Immortal Grass, there is no such thing near Qingshui City, and no one knows whether this thing is good or bad.

Therefore, when this thing first came, people didn't dare to use it at all, or the merchants used various incentives, which led to the first batch of trials. People saw that this thing was really harmless and had a refreshing effect, so they boldly used it.

In just a few months, this ascending immortal grass has become a fashionable thing in the upper class of Qingshui City, smoking it when chatting, drinking it, refreshing it when busy and tired, and sucking it for pleasure when you have nothing to do.

Many people in the city were smoking, so when they knew that Wu Zheng was also sucking the Ascending Immortal Grass, the Wu family didn't take it to heart.

However, now, Wu Zheng seems to be addicted, which makes the Wu family members become vigilant.

Addicted, but not afraid, although this thing is expensive, with the Wu family's wealth, there is no worry about supply.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, what side effects does this thing have.

Although, now it seems that this thing has no side effects other than being addictive, there are some things that take a long time to know if it is harmful.

Of course, at the dinner table, the Wu family members didn't talk much......

Wu Ming had eaten, chatted with the elders for a while, and then returned to his small courtyard.

After a while, a subordinate walked in, "Young Master, I'll send you the Ascending Immortal Grass!"

Wu Ming let him in, only to see his subordinate dragging a bag in one hand and a hood-like thing in the other.

"What is this cover for?" Wu Ming asked, pointing to the cover.

"Young Master Hui, this cover is a smoking device, after lighting the Ascending Immortal Grass, cover it with a cover, and the green smoke produced will leak out from the small tube above the cover, so that it is easy to suck, and it will not be wasted. ”

"Oh, I see. Wu Ming took out a handful of broken silver from his arms, "How much is this?"

"Back to the young master, this ascending immortal grass is one or two pieces of silver, and this cover is a gift. But the young master doesn't need to give me money, Lin Ye has already given it just now. ”

"It's so expensive!" Wu Ming sighed, and still stuffed the broken silver in his hand to his subordinates, "Reward you!"

"Young Master Xie!" the subordinate's eyes lit up and he left excitedly.

Wu Ming closed the door, poured the Ascending Immortal Grass out of the bag, and said to the old Taoist in his mind: "Then, Ascending Immortal Grass." ”

"Suck one. "The old way is concise.

"It's not a good thing to suck into. Wu Ming didn't want to suck.

"Why, you can't bear this little bitterness?"

"It's not that I can't endure this hardship, but I just don't think it's necessary. Why bother to find guilt for yourself?" Wu Ming defended.

"How do you know it's not necessary?" asked the old man.

Wu Ming was stunned, although he was not convinced, but during this period of getting along, he had already regarded Lao Dao as a teacher, and he didn't want to make Lao Dao unhappy for this little thing, so he didn't say much at the moment, took out the flint, lit the Ascending Immortal Grass, and then covered it with a cover, and slowly sucked it.

"Ahem, ahem......" Wu Ming coughed as he smoked.

As he smoked, he found himself excited.

Normally, at this time, after a day of activity, he would usually feel tired, but now, he is excited.

This thing is really refreshing.

After about two pillars of incense, the sucking was finished. Lao Dao asked, "How do you feel?"

"I feel excited. ”

"Hmm......" Lao Dao muttered, but did not continue.

Wu Ming asked, "What do you have to do next?"

Lao Dao was silent for a while, and then replied: "Put it away first, and it will be useful when you go back." ”

"What's the use?" Wu Ming said curiously.

"Before the time comes, it is useless to talk more, but you will know when the time comes. Lao Dao said mysteriously.

Wu Ming didn't ask too much, put away his things, and cultivated cross-legged......

The next day, Wu Ming took the carriage driven by Uncle Lin to the Longmen Immortal Courtyard.

Yesterday, the Challenge for Class A students was coming to an end, and today will take a little more time to finish.

At the end of this period, some students encouraged Wu Ming to go up and compete for the first-class qualification. Wu Ming just smiled and didn't speak.

In less than an hour, the challenge of first-class students was completed.

Next, it's time for the final round.

It was only at this moment that the master of the academy announced the super reward for the final competition: the first place in each age group would receive a blood ginseng worth 1,000 taels of silver.

Blood ginseng, a kind of ginseng, is called blood ginseng because of its blood red color. After taking it, it can consolidate the essence and cultivate the yuan, which has a promoting effect on absorbing aura and tempering the body.

Blood ginseng, Wu Ming had taken it a long time ago. A thousand taels of silver is nothing to the Wu family.

It's a pity that blood ginseng is more effective when taken for the first time, and when you take it later, it basically has no effect, so Wu Ming didn't eat much.

Wu Ming stayed quietly below, not preparing to compete in the final competition, because blood ginseng was not attractive to him, and he didn't care about the vanity of the king of the same age.

He was going to watch the game quietly, and then he threw himself into his cultivation......

The game on the field has begun, and the instructor Ding Xuan randomly selected one of the first-class students as the champion, defeating this person will become the new champion, until the end, the one who can still stand on this stage is the first place in the final competition.

This person is of a good level, after all, he can enter the first class, at least better than those who are in the third and second ranks. At the age of twenty-three, the average level is a fourth-level martial artist, and he can enter the first rank, at least a fifth-level martial artist. A fifth-level martial artist with a strength of seven hundred catties.

However, that's all, this person is only at a medium level in the first class, and after only two games, he was bombarded by another person to the audience.

A new person became the champion, and this person stood on the stage and looked down, quite a sense of self-sacrifice.

"The current champion has awakened, and it has been a year since he became a fifth-level martial artist, who will challenge?" Ding Xuan shouted as he stood on the stage.

"Wu Mingshang! Wu Mingshang!" someone in the audience shouted.

Qi Xing's eyes looked at him, quite resentful, he was a new champion, a fifth-level martial artist, but not many people paid attention to him, Wu Ming was just a second-level martial artist, but he had such a high popularity.

Qi Xing showed a provocative expression, although Wu Ming defeated Xia Bingyun in front of him, he also showed a certain strength, but in Qi Xing's opinion, Wu Ming was a little stronger than a fourth-level martial artist, otherwise, why didn't Wu Ming play during the first-class student challenge.

Qi Xing very much hoped that Wu Ming would come to power, and he felt that defeating Wu Ming would make some people who were inclined to Wu Ming turn to him......

However, Wu Ming just smiled at him, and then turned his head to look away, obviously not ready to go on stage.

Although Qi Xing was a little annoyed, he couldn't help it.

Those who encouraged Wu Ming to come to power, seeing Wu Ming like this, slowly stopped calling.

Ding Xuan shouted on the stage again: "Who will challenge?"

In the first-class area, all the students, you look at me, I look at you.

Wu Ming's brows moved, he felt that there was something strange over there.

"I'm coming!" a man walked out of the first-class zone.

As soon as this person came out, everyone in the first class stopped looking at each other.

"It's kind of interesting. A smile tugged at the corner of Wu Ming's mouth.

The person who came to power was Liu Jiang.

"Wake up, challenger Liu Jiang, now, the challenge begins. Instructor Ding Xuan raised his right hand and pressed it down.

Liu Jiang stood opposite Qi Xing and said with a smile: "Do you go down by yourself, or will I beat you down?"

Qi Xing glanced at the other party hatefully, didn't say a word, and walked towards the stage.

"What?" there was a buzz below, and they all felt that Qi Xing's move was too spineless. Even if he fails, he has to fight, who knows that as soon as Liu Jiang stops on the stage, he will be so frightened that he admits defeat.

Qi Xing was slandering at this time: "Liu Jiang, you bastard, why did you come up so quickly, can't you let me be on it for a while? If I didn't know that you had a black hand, I would have fought with you knowing that I was losing!"

Liu Jiang became the new champion, and a few more people went up to challenge, but without exception, they were all easily defeated by Liu Jiang, and some even only made one move under Liu Jiang. Liu Jiang lost several people in a row, and the scenery was unmatched for a while.

Despite this, everyone in the audience did not think that Liu Jiang would become the king of the twenty-three-year-old.

Because, over there in the first-class area, there is still a sixth-level martial artist.

Although Liu Jiang is in the limelight now, if a sixth-level martial artist makes a move, he must definitely fail.

The competition went on for a while, Liu Jiangyou lost a few more people, and then there was silence, no one played, and everyone's eyes looked at the sixth-level martial artist.

"Why hasn't he played yet? What is he waiting for?"

But seeing that the sixth-level martial artist frowned, he seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Yan Feng, go up, what are you waiting for?" the students cheered.

The sixth-level martial artist Yan Feng thought for a while, and finally made up his mind and walked towards the stage.

The audience slowly quieted down.

"The champion Liu Jiang, the challenger Yan Feng, now, the challenge begins. Instructor Ding Xuan shouted, and the two on the stage stared at each other, their feet couldn't stop moving, and they began to confront.

Everyone in the audience was a little puzzled, this Yan Feng, as a sixth-level martial artist, could he use such a strict battle in the face of a fifth-level martial artist?

They waited, waited for the two of them to make a move, waited for the ending they had expected......

Finally, the two of them got started. From the beginning, Liu Jiang was at a disadvantage. Yan Feng took out the strength of a sixth-level martial artist, and completely pressed the other party to fight.

Liu Jiang had no power to fight back, and under the attack of the other party, he could only flee in all directions.

Liu Jiang didn't seem to be flustered.

Although Yan Feng had the upper hand, it seemed that he was still a little short of defeating Liu Jiang, and several times, his fists and feet almost greeted Liu Jiang, but he was always narrowly avoided by the other party. If his speed had been a little faster, or his accuracy had been a little higher, perhaps Liu Jiang would have been defeated.

It's a pity that he is always a little bit worse.

After a while, Yan Feng gradually became impatient, and he didn't care whether he could get Liu Jiang or not, just a random fight.

Liu Jiang carefully distanced himself from him and kept circling around the court.

"Hit!"

"I'll fight!"

Yan Feng shouted, punching and kicking, tiger and tiger.

But in the eyes of the people below, he was not majestic at all, but ...... Like a big stupid cow.

"Is this Yan Feng stupid? I don't usually think about it!" everyone wondered.

Time passed slowly, and under the long chase of Yan Feng, his forehead was already sweating.

Suddenly, he shouted, "You pour it for me!"

Finally, he seized an opportunity and punched Liu Jiang's body.

However, Liu Jiang did not fall. Even, Liu Jiang's body only shook slightly, and then quickly stood firm.

"I think it's you. ”

When Yan Feng punched, Liu Jiang also stretched out his leg and swept towards the opponent's lower plate.

"Ahh

"Drink!" he gasped so hard that even the audience could hear his thick panting.

Although everyone was a little surprised that Yan Feng was knocked down by Liu Jiang, they could explain it if they thought about it. Yan Feng chased for a long time and ran out of strength, so he was hit by Liu Jiang.

Regarding Liu Jiang's use of this trick to fight, someone below commented: "This Liu Jiang also bullied honest people." If you change to a sixth-level martial artist, he will definitely be beaten all over the ground. ”

Immediately, some people rose up to object: "What do you mean by bullying honest people? Didn't the person surnamed Wu use this trick at the beginning, why didn't you see you?"

Wu Ming frowned: He was really shot while lying down! But he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

But I heard another person say: "Wu Ming is just a second-level martial artist, and it is understandable to use any method." This Liu Jiang is a fifth-level martial artist, and it is not ashamed to learn from a second-level martial artist!"

Then another person said: "What does it mean to learn from a second-level martial artist? If you can't fight head-on, you can't go around in circles to consume the opponent's strength, this method is what you want to get personally, and who else do you need to learn from?"

As the wind fell to the ground, the audience became chaotic.

And on stage-

"Can you still stand up?" Liu Jiang asked, standing beside Yan Feng.

"I'm ......" Yan Feng struggled to get up, but as soon as his body lifted up a little, he fell down heavily.

"Drink!Drink!" Yan Feng gasped again.

"I ...... I throw in the towel. Yan Feng said in the direction of instructor Ding Xuan.

Ding Xuan glanced at him, didn't say much, let the two people from the audience help him down, and then shouted: "In this competition, Liu Jiangsheng will challenge!"

The sixth-level martial artists have all lost, who would dare to go up and challenge? After waiting for a long time, no one said a word.

Ding Xuan shouted again: "I count to one, if no one challenges me, Liu Jiang will be the first among the twenty-three years old, nine, eight, seven......"

But suddenly I heard a voice sound: "Slow!"

The voice...... But it came from the mouth of Liu Jiang.

Ding Xuan was stunned, this Liu Jiang, as the champion, stopped his shouting, what did he want to do?
