Chapter 13: The Shadow Emerges and Takes the Lead
The silvery moonlight shone on the ground, and everywhere there was the mournful cry of crickets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The aroma of the night fills the air, weaving a soft net that envelops Kanazawa Castle inside.
"At this rate, there should be no one who can practice faster than me. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I will go and get back the first prize of the 20 Shadow Stones for practicing the spirit. Thinking of this, Zhang Ying quickly took off the golden snow cicada silk gloves and threw him into the sleeve and the Qiankun bag, and then pressed under the pillow, summoned the wine spirit and hid it in a hidden place, and at this time, the shadow demon spirit was already hidden in the void in the abdomen. After doing this, he turned around and went to the place where the academy was located.
Knock, knock, knock
Although the councillor of the school was asleep, he had been woken up by the knock on the door. "What's the matter? The third watch still disturbs me sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Outside the door, a servant's reply followed: "Tell the Councillor, you told you that no matter at any time, as long as someone succeeds in spiritual training, they will tell you how late they come to the academy.
"Oh, that's true," Thinking of this, the members of the academy dissipated all the previous unhappiness, got up and asked, "Which branch is it?" Is it Zhang Xin of the Zhang family?"
At this point, he pushed the door open and came out.
The slave waiting outside took two steps back with a slight bend, and echoed: "It should be Zhang Xin of the Zhang family, but from the appearance, I can't tell whether Zhang Ying is Zhang Xin or Zhang Xin." ā
Hmph, Zhang Ying? The source power in the martial artist's aperture is like a bucket of water, and the better the aperture is, the more water it contains. And if you refine the spirit, you need to use the source power to erase the will of the spirit, so that you can flexibly apply the spirit. You have to know that the will of each Jin Zeyao Heavenly Spirit is almost the same, so we practice the spirit to look at the talent and the other is to look at the resources, what do you think Zhang Ying has a reason to stand on?
At this time, the servant who received Zhang Ying was stunned when he heard him say that he was Zhang Ying and asked, "My lord, are you Zhang Ying?"
At this moment, the academy councillor walked in, and Zhang Ying and the servants immediately turned around and saluted.
When the councilor saw Zhang Ying, he smiled at him kindly: "Heaven-level qualifications are heaven-level qualifications, even if others are working hard, they can't compare to people with heaven-level qualifications." Come on Zhang Xin, I'm optimistic about you. Then he patted him the shoulder
But at this moment, Zhang Ying took a step back, bent down and saluted again, and said, "Honorable Councillor, I'm sorry I'm not Zhang Xin, I'm his brother Zhang Ying." ā
The ".........." councilor's face suddenly felt a little red
"Zhang Ying, you have already refined a turn of spirit, forget it, you come over and I'll check your void and spirit, and I'll know." The Speaker let out a slightly exclaimed expression, but in the blink of an eye, it was back to normal.
"Hey! As a member of the council, I participated in the award work of the academy, and it was the first time I saw a low-level person and won the first prize. The councillor was puzzled and checked Zhang Ying's empty hole, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This is really strange." ā
"Okay, Zhang Ying's bag of shadow stones will be yours, after all, it's not too late in the middle of the night. Let's all disperse," the councilor casually threw a small bag into Zhang Ying's arms, waved his hand again, and turned back to the room.
...........
In the cold dark morning, the sun has not yet come out, in the sky behind the eastern mountain, a few thick clouds are as thin as the edge of light silk, lined with light red glow, after a while, the mountain peaks reflect red, and stop for a while, the fire-like round wheel gushes out of half of the blue sky and sea, and slowly completely reveals its huge golden body, and the red flames shine through Kanazawa City.
At this moment, the empty stone steps were filled with a brisk pace of kicking, kicking, and kicking.
This time, I lived up to my parents' expectations and successfully won the first place in spiritual training. I believe this is just the beginning for me! I will definitely work harder in the future, I will trample my brother to the ground, let him watch with shame how my genius brother is going to the peak of life step by step. ā
Thinking of this, Zhang Xin couldn't help but dance happily, and when he walked to the door of the school.
"Zhang Ying, didn't you receive the first prize, why did you come back in the middle of the night?" the two servants on duty asked with puzzled faces.
"Zhang... Zhang Ying, wait, what do you mean, my brother has already finished practicing the spirit and led away the top spot this time?" Zhang Xin asked in a low voice with a panicked face at this time.
"Yes, your brother just took twenty Shadow Stones. The slave standing on the left responded.
"How could a person with poor qualifications get the top spot without the help of his uncle and aunt? Could it be that I have fallen? Even a person who does not respect his father and mother, even a person who sleeps except for drinking, a person who does not even return home, and even a person who feels sorry for his personal maid makes him cry. I..... Everyone says I'm a genius, and I think I've worked very hard, and during this time, in addition to eating and sleeping, I'm practicing spiritually. Now I can't compare to a drunkard who can drink and play drunk. ā
The blood that surged into my heart before quickly became cold. In Zhang Xin's heart, what was replaced by more doubts at this moment was more doubts, anger, doubts, depression, fear, and so on.
Annoyed, he yelled at the servant with a blushing face: "It's your brother, your brother, it's the brother of your whole family!" After yelling, he turned around and left in a huff.
The golden sunlight lazily sprinkled on the bulletin board of the Kanazawa City Academy, and at this time, the four words Zhang Ying and Zhang Xin on the spirit training list on the bulletin board seemed to have overshadowed all the intermittent noise around them.
