Volume 1: The Storm Rises Chapter 12 The Proving Ground
Chapter 12: The Proving Ground
Looking at the ancient spirit scroll in front of him, Qin Xiao unconsciously felt that he was powerless, and only felt that an unknown air flow was surging in his body, which disappeared after a while.
Qin Xiao didn't know what was going on, he just felt that in an instant, he seemed to lose everything, even his own life, as if his life was like no one pinching it in the palm of his hand, and the slightest mistake was taken away in an instant!
The invisible spiritual pressure has always enveloped Qin Xiao, and he is like a weak ant, a little out of breath when he is pressed, under this terrifying pressure, he may be crushed to pieces by the spiritual pressure of the storage zài at any time.
At this time, although Qin Xiao knew in his heart that danger was approaching, the only thing Qin Xiao could do was to try to restrain himself and try to keep himself awake!
But a qiē seems to be in vain!
At this time, Qin Xiao seemed to have thousands of horses galloping in front of him, but Qin Xiao was the thinnest one among them, and in the process of running, the strong rushing around him directly knocked him down! In an instant, he was trampled under the feet of thousands of horses, and then thousands of horses' hooves passed him, and the feeling seemed to be more painful than death.
・・・・・・
As time passed, Qin Xiao's consciousness gradually blurred, and even his heartbeat gradually slowed down, for some reason, Qin Xiao seemed to feel endless relief, could he leave the world full of competition? Can he take a good rest? Or can he not have to work hard for his ideals? There is no longer a need to guard Linshan Village? A series of questions filled Qin Xiao's heart, and even he didn't know how to answer...
"Ahh
Qin Xiao hugged his forehead, which had already fallen into a blur, struggling, roaring, his voice was so haggard and weak, he didn't know how hard he roared out.
"I can't die! I can't die! I can't leave Linshan Village, I can't leave my dear parents, my sister and sister, I can't leave everyone around me, I can't! I want to inherit the will of my parents, Linshan Village still needs me to protect it! I want to become strong and protect my family and village!"
"Ahh
"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you, why do you look so pale?" Qin Xiang, who was standing next to Qin Xiao, saw Qin Xiao first, felt that something was wrong, and shook Qin Xiao gently.
And Qin Xiao was already covered with beads of sweat on her forehead, her face was pale, and she was sitting on the ground, very weak.
After a long time, Qin Bo and Xia Lin heard Xiao Xiang'er's shout, and they also rushed over and hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine, don't worry, don't alarm Grandpa Merlin about this、、、" When Qin Xiao heard that Xiao Xiang'er was going to transmit the message to Grandpa Merlin, she hurriedly stopped her, for fear that she would not be able to let him continue to cultivate after alarming Grandpa Merlin.
At this time, the eyes of the Gu Ling on the ancient scroll were no longer the original pride, and they became a little disappointed, if Qin Xiao was defeated like this, he would fall directly into the illusion like this! It seems that this kind of thing is not what the Gu Ling expects.
For Gu Ling, he was worried that Qin Xiao would be strong, but he also had an expectation in his heart that Qin Xiao would be strong! There was no doubt that Gu Ling was contradictory!
Qin Xiao sat on the ground for a while, and felt the true qi in her body slowly recover.
Not long after, Qin Xiao slowly raised his head, looked at the little friends around him, and explained softly, "Maybe there are distracting thoughts in cultivation that will be like this, it's okay, it's all fine now、、、"
With that, Qin Xiao stood up, returned to the pu grass that he used to cultivate, sat down cross-legged, and continued to comprehend the various laws of heaven and earth around him. In Qin Xiao's many experiences, every time he feels the laws around him, he will have a feeling of physical and mental pleasure, at this time, his heart is very relaxed, and the whole person seems to have become one of the many vitality, and there is a special sense of affinity.
・・・・・・
Qin Xiao, Qin Bo, Qin Xiao, and Xia Lin are all cultivating hard, no one complains that they are tired, in the hearts of the children, they should be the strongest, this may be the character that these children with special talents should have!
In the early morning, accompanied by the crowing of chickens, the children breathe in the natural aura; In the evening, as the sun set, they tried to practice their newfound laws. Every day is different, and it's fun.
Time flies, and soon the one-month time agreed with Grandpa Merlin is approaching unconsciously.
Everyone still remembers this agreement with Grandpa Merlin, and the children never admit defeat.
According to the requirements of alchemy, Qin Bo trained with high intensity and overload every day, and after training, Qin Bo's physical body became very powerful, with solid muscles and uninterrupted cultivation, it was impossible for ordinary cast iron sharp weapons to pierce Qin Bo's body now. In Qin Bo's heart, he should have reached the level of a first-class warrior, in order to give Grandpa Merlin an unexpected surprise, Qin Bo endured it several times, and dispelled the idea of going to Grandpa Merlin for confirmation, in Qin Bo's opinion, after a month's competition, he would definitely be able to defeat anyone, including Qin Xiao;
Qin Xiang is more naughty. Although she doesn't have a body like Qin Bo, Xiao Xiang'er will always go to her mother and aunt in time to exchange her experience in cultivation. In every exchange, Xiao Xianger will gain a lot. In normal times, Qin Xiang can already be familiar with the power of thunder and lightning and the laws of the water system, and what is surprising is that when Qin Xiang uses the power of the two laws, he can already exert one-twelfth of the power described in the classics, which will take at least half a year for ordinary cultivators.
Xia Lin devoted herself to cultivation by the Konoha River every day according to the cultivation experience of fire magic taught by her master, for a whole month. Charlene can already freely use the power of water to exert restraint, although the power is not as terrifying as the first-level magician described in the classics, but it can also bring shock. This is already very close in Xia Lin's opinion, and even in her cultivation, Xia Lin has her own special perception, in Xia Lin's consciousness, she has enough strength to kill the blue-eyed yellow-maned leopard and avenge her father.
Comparatively speaking, the effect of Qin Xiao's cultivation is not very good, every time he cultivates, Qin Xiao often enters a state of meditation, because of this, Qin Xiao has not been able to really master any magic, and even the practitioner technique he yearns for is only slightly understood, and he is not able to use it proficiently. The only thing that can make Qin Xiao happy is that during training, Qin Xiao can freely perceive the laws around her, and from time to time there will be a feeling of integrating into it, that is, she can't exert any terrifying power, which somewhat disappoints Qin Xiao's original expectation...
On this day, the Prison Cow Hall was very empty because the place was more spacious than the Mocking Wind Hall. The candlesticks in the four directions of the south, east, west, and north, as well as the column in the middle, are generally the same as those in the mocking wind hall, and there is also an ancient scroll hanging on the main hall of the hall, which looks to be several years old.
The most eye-catching thing in the Prison Bull Hall is the beast spirit on the ancient scroll, which is very different from the one in the Mocking Wind Hall, the overall look is sharp but not fierce, maybe this ancient spirit is still relatively immature. There is a huge dragon head on the ancient scroll, the dragon head has two strong scales, the whole dragon head is bright yellow, it still looks golden under the faint candlelight, the two dragon eyes are blazing, under the dragon head, there is a very petite body, the body is still bright yellow, the body looks like a person, the overall look is so asymmetrical, the whole antiquity spirit is half squatting on a piano head, it is hard to imagine, what kind of relationship will the dragon and the piano have?
Above the hall, Grandpa Merlin stood in the center of the main hall, followed by Qin Tao and Qin Bo, Lin Wen and Lin Shan, as well as all the warriors and magicians in the village, and the hall looked very lively. It seems that everyone is waiting for the surprise that these children will bring.
"Today is our appointed time, are you ready, boys?" Grandpa Merlin walked straight over with his long beard.
Qin Bo, Qin Xiao, Qin Xiang, and Xia Lin all looked at Grandpa Merlin nervously and nodded solemnly.
"Very well, for the sake of fairness, I will put a layer of prohibition in the Prison Cow Hall, which completely simulates the normal natural environment. This game may be life-threatening for you, and we will not intervene, so now, if anyone doesn't want to participate, they can quit, and when the game starts, there is no way for us to stop. ”
"Is there a danger to life!?" the others all looked at Grandpa Merlin who spoke in surprise, "In the past trials in Linshan Village, there would always be a kind of prohibition cast, and in every trial, nothing would be done that threatened the life of the trialist, but how could it be today?"
"I know your question, what I did put in today were two blue-eyed yellow-maned leopards, these two blue-eyed yellow-maned leopards have advanced to the first-level spirits, and it is normal to have worries about their lives in the trial! I have already said that if you don't want to participate, you can not participate!" Grandpa Merlin said this again, of course, he didn't want anyone to give up without starting.
The families of the four children looked at their children, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, although the children had been training hard for a month, but after all, no one had advanced to a first-level magician, and Qin Xiao was not a low-level walker, and it was still very few to try with the two blue-eyed yellow-maned leopards, but no one wanted the children to retreat, as the guardian of the village, no matter how powerful the enemy was, he couldn't give up easily, and the guardian had to shoulder the lives of the entire village, so he just watched silently from the sidelines, and never said anything。
The four children looked at Grandpa Merlin, who was smiling slightly, and their eyes were full of fearlessness and perseverance. They knew that as cultivators, they had to dare to face it and retreat from the battle, which would be a shame for anyone with ambition! Not to mention cultivators who were guarding the village! They were definitely not cowards, and they would never do that!
"Good, good, since no one gives up, then... Kids, let's get started now、、、" Grandpa Merlin took out the two blue-eyed yellow-maned leopards from his storage bag and put them into the simulated space、、、
Two blue-eyed yellow-maned leopards first hovered in the center of the hall, their eyes full of murderous energy, and the momentum made people shudder when they saw it, and they sometimes paced gently and sometimes stopped to observe the surrounding situation, as if waiting for the children's provocation at any time......
Seeing the scene in front of them, the four children were enthusiastic!
"It's time to test our cultivation results, look at me!" Although no one said it directly, it could be seen from the fact that no one was in the eyebrows!
Without the slightest hesitation, the four children disappeared into the simulated space almost simultaneously...
Watching the blue-eyed yellow-maned leopard and the children enter the place of trial! Grandpa Merlin then led everyone to a huge mirror, which was Grandpa Merlin who performed the mirror technique in the Hall of Mocking Wind, so that everyone could see the children's battle for the first time.
And in the hall, everyone stared closely at the trial ground in front of them, whispering to each other about this trial from time to time, as if for these guardians who had experienced countless lives and deaths, they couldn't hold back in their hearts, and they also wanted to test their strength.
However, everyone believes that they will not let everyone down as the future of Linshan Village! Although they are still a little worried about the safety of the children, everyone is looking forward to this trial...
