Chapter 54: Breath of Death(2/2)
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Why are you so polite? Get on your horse. It's time for us to get on our way."
As I rode on the white horse, my heart filled with thoughts of the black dragon. I don’t know what happened to the black dragon at Mo Yue’s place.
So, I joined this small team of more than ten people. I rarely spoke along the way, but from their conversations, I was surprised to learn that they were actually Songzhi Academy, one of the four major colleges that went to Xilun City for exchanges.
Teachers and students, the middle-aged man who invited me to join was the dean of Songzhi College named Mengfu (the punishment was so severe, no wonder he became the dean).
"Hey, you talk very little? Why are you bringing this thing?" A young man in black clothes said to me. I was wearing a veiled hat.
I said calmly: "There is wind and sand on the road, I am used to carrying this thing."
The young man in black stretched out his hand to me and said, "Let's get to know each other. My name is Feng Duo, and I am a second-year student of the Martial Arts Department of Songzhi Academy." I held his hand, nodded and said, "My name is Lei Xiang, and I am a wanderer.
Bar."
There was a weird smile on Feng Duo's face, and I felt his hand suddenly become hot. It turned out that this boy's fighting spirit was more masculine. I let him hold it without caring. The smile on Feng Duo's face gradually disappeared, and he found that
No matter how hard I try, my hands are neither soft nor hard, neither fighting back nor flinching.
Mengfu noticed the anomaly on our side and shouted: "Fonduo, what are you doing?" He slowed down and lined up with us.
Feng Duo let go of his hand in embarrassment and said, "Teacher Meng, it's nothing. I just want to get to know Brother Lei Xiang."
Mengfu glared at him accusingly, and just as he was about to say something, Feng Duo rushed over and said, "Brother Lei, your sword looks very unique, can you let me have a look?"
I stretched out my hand and took off Mo Ming and handed it to him. Feng Duo reached out and took it. Unprepared, his hand suddenly dropped and almost dropped Mo Ming to the ground. He was so frightened that he quickly tightened his grip before he could hold on.
He sighed, "It's so heavy."
Mengfu was also shocked, so I didn’t blame him anymore. I ignored Fengduo and said to Mengfu: “Teacher Meng, how do you communicate between the four major colleges?”
Mengfu sighed and said: "What kind of exchange is, in fact, it is just to compete with each other and compete for fame to see which college's students have stronger kung fu. This invitational competition is held by the four major colleges in turn. This time it is Xi Lun's turn, regardless of
Wherever they are, the exchanges between the four major colleges will be open to the local people and the martial arts will be promoted. Our Songzhi College has always been the weakest among the four major colleges. This time, we are just reporting on the mentality of using martial arts to make friends."
"Oh? A competition? What kind of competition?"
Meng Fu smiled and said: "You are also a warrior at first glance. The competition between our four colleges is nothing more than drawing lots first and dividing them into two sides for the competition. Each side will send six students, one by one, and the loser will go down. If you win,
The competition will continue until all students on one side have failed. The winning and losing colleges will take a day off and compete again. Finally, the seats of the colleges will be determined. Each college is allowed one or two substitutes, and the formation can be changed on the spot.
You don’t know, in order to compete for the name of the Dragon God’s No. 1 Academy..." At this point, he sighed.
I nodded and said, "I hope you can win."
Mengfu shook his head and said: "The other three academies are almost equal in strength, but we are slightly worse. We will definitely be eliminated in the first round. To be honest, as long as the academy can produce an outstanding talent, it will have a lot of power in the competition.
The biggest advantage is, for example, in the upper realm, Tiandu Academy produced Riva, and he defeated five people from our academy by himself, so we had to abstain. Talents are rare."
"Well, I once stayed in the capital. I heard that Riva has been promoted to Dragon Knight. Without him this time, wouldn't your chances be greater?"
Meng Fu said: "It's not that simple. Think about it, if the college ranks high, it will naturally attract more talents. Who knows if any of them will have great newcomers this time. Lei Xiang, I see your foundation
You have a good background and are not too old. Are you interested in joining our Songzhi College? The teachers in our college are pretty good."
Wow, wasn't that why he asked me to go on the road with them in the first place? I shook my head and said, "No, to be honest with you, I went to Silun City this time to find someone. And I think, I
There is no need to go to the academy to study anymore.”
Although what I said was very arrogant, Mengfu did not feel that I was arrogant. Instead, he was shocked by the domineering air coming from me.
Feng Duo on the side curled his lips and said: "Really? Brother Lei, learning is very important for a person. As the saying goes, you should live until you are old and learn. Our Songzhi Academy is very good." He handed me a weird
Looking at him, he whispered: "Besides, there are many beauties." Surprisingly, Mengfu didn't stop him from saying this, as if he didn't hear him.
Feng Duo pointed at Siyu and Lianlu who were riding a horse in front of them, obviously telling me that they are beauties. I can't thank you enough for this. I haven't solved my relationship problems now, let alone find a new love.
Now, I am very indifferent to beautiful women and avoid them at all costs.
As soon as I stretched out my hand and sucked Mo Ming, the mad god's fighting energy burst out, and the whole body exuded a fierce aura to cover Feng Duo. Feng Duo's whole body trembled, and he almost fell off the horse. He tried his best to summon up the fighting energy to counteract my momentum, and said with a pale face.
I was speechless. I smiled in my heart, withdrew my intimidating aura, and said: "Now, do you think I still need to go to your college?" I don't want them to make unnecessary entanglements in order to let me join Songzhi College.
You can show some strength and let them retreat in spite of difficulties.
Feng Duo's whole body went numb and he was speechless. Meng Fa beside him felt that the energy I emitted was no weaker than his, and he was shocked, "It turns out that little brother Lei is hiding something secretly. I really want to know what it is."
A person can train an outstanding disciple like you."
I smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, maybe you will know about it when you get to Silon City."
Mengfu knew that there was no hope of accepting me as a disciple, so he sighed and urged his mount to rush forward.
A petite voice came: "What are you crazy about? Do you think our academy cares about you? Let's see what happens." The fire magician Lian Lu, who was wearing a red magic robe in front, became angry. He waved his staff at me sideways.
A large series of fireballs was thrown.
Mengfu shouted: "Lotus dew, no."
This is a third-level magic. Seeing that she can use it so quickly, it is obvious that the magic is not weak. I recited the spell silently, and a soft barrier appeared in front of me. The fireballs hit me and ripples appeared on the barrier.
A puff of white smoke appeared and disappeared.
The water magician Si Yu who was riding with her said in surprise: "Water Mirror Technique."
I used a water-based second-level defensive magic, but it blocked her third-level offensive magic. Mengfu stopped Lianlu, who was about to take action, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make mistakes, I'll let you go."
Can you tell?"
Lian Lu said angrily: "I can't stand his arrogant and domineering look."
Am I arrogant? Why didn't I realize it? It seems that I need to pay more attention.
I carried Mo Ming on my back and said harmoniously: "If there was any offense just now, please forgive me."
Lian Lu snorted and stopped talking, and the small storm passed just like that.
Feng Duo said to me in a low voice: "Brother Lei, your kung fu is so good, even that shrewd girl was defeated, hehe." It seems that this boy has suffered from Lotus Dew before, otherwise he would not be so gloating about his misfortune.
In order not to let them think that I was too arrogant, I said calmly: "Kung fu is all practiced. As long as you put in the effort, you will definitely be rewarded."
A strong student who was also lagging behind said: "Although hard work is important, understanding is also indispensable. The faster you understand, the faster you will progress. Brother Lei, we are almost the same age, but your kung fu is better than ours.
I'm really impressed." I knew his name was Tian Xing, and like me, he seldom spoke, but I could tell that among these students, his skills were the highest.
I said humbly: "Brother Tianxing's skill is just as good as mine, but he just doesn't show it as sharply as me."
Tian Xing smiled slightly and shook his head noncommittally.
…………
"Ah, look, that's Silon City," the lively Fondo shouted.
At the far end of the horizon, a large city appeared in our field of vision. In terms of scale, this city is no less than the capital of Dragon God. Mengfu said: "Yes, that is Silun. Let's speed up and try to get there by noon."
When we entered the city before, people from the other three colleges might have arrived early."
As soon as we entered Xilun City, we were stopped by several young samurai. The first one said politely: "Excuse me, are you from Songzhi Academy?"
Mengfu smiled and nodded: "Yes. Are you?"
Bushido: "We are students from Silen Academy and we are responsible for waiting for you here."
Mengfu signaled everyone to dismount, nodded to the warrior, and said, "Then please lead the way."
The warrior saluted, turned and walked in front. I walked up to Mengfu and said, "Teacher Meng, thank you for taking care of me along the way. I think it's time for us to break up."
Mengfuda said: "Since you are here, come with us."
I shook my head, "No, I've already troubled you a lot. When you participate in the college exchange, I will go to watch the ceremony." If you go with them, you will definitely meet people from Tiandu, and I don't want to meet them so early.
Mengfu nodded and said: "In that case, I won't keep you. Be careful. If you want to come to our academy in the future, you are always welcome."
I said a few more polite words and watched them leave with the receiving warriors. When I was leaving, Fondo also gave me a small gemstone, saying that it was kept as a souvenir. Although it was not a precious thing, it touched my heart.
A warm current flowed through. The emotions between humans are indeed much heavier than those between monsters and beasts. Lianlu, on the other hand, glared at me fiercely when she passed me. It seemed that she still held grudges, although
I couldn't see her face clearly, but her big, hateful and bright eyes left a deep impression on me.
The city of Shillun was very lively, obviously related to the promotion of this exchange. I finally found a hotel to stay. I heard the waiter here said that as early as a few days ago, many hotels were already full, and with young people
Most of them came to see this exchange competition between the four major colleges.
I put my baggage in my room, ate something casually, and lay quietly on the bed, with thoughts flowing in my mind. Tomorrow, I will be able to see Zi Xue and Zi Yan, who are longing for me. When will I tell them?
To explain, should I go to them directly? No, that would affect Zi Yan’s performance in the exchange competition. It’s better to wait until the exchange competition is over before meeting with them. Thinking of this, I felt light-hearted and could drag her back two steps.
Oh my god. I also understand that I am escaping, but I really don’t want to lose them.
When I walked out of the hotel, the street was very busy. There were many people openly setting up a casino to see who would be the final winner of this competition. After asking about it, I found out that this was set up by the management of Xilun City. It is absolutely guaranteed. I'm leaving
When I went to a booth with a lot of people, there was a big sign with the odds of several colleges. The one with the highest odds was Songzhi College, which actually reached 24 to 1, followed by Tiandu College.
The odds are 16 to 1, and then Xilun College is 8 to 1. The one with the lowest odds, that is, Fengdong College, the favorite to win, only has 1 to 2. I curiously asked the person next to me: "Isn't Tiandu College the champion of the upper world?
?Why are the odds so high?”
The person next to me looked at me up and down and said, "Are you not from here, and you want to bet on it? Let me tell you, the people in Tiandu Academy are in trouble, and their ace student Riva has been promoted to Dragon Knight.
, I heard that this time they came with no hope of winning the championship. They just wanted to train the young students and wait for them to fight again in the lower world. But Fengdong Academy is different. They have the strongest combination, and the players participating in the competition are
Four martial arts students and two magic students have all participated in the Upper Realm competition. Everyone has good strength. They are the favorites to win the upper realm. Unfortunately, Liva came out of heaven and one person defeated three of them. That's why
After finishing second, I think Fengdong will not give other colleges a chance this year no matter what. That’s why his odds are so low. Let me tell you, I plan to beat them by 50 gold coins. If I win, hehe..."
