The illusions in Zhou Xing's mind frequently change scenes, which are very strange, but also very real, as if they have been integrated into his memory, as if he has experienced it personally...
The sky is clear and clear, The wind is gentle and smooth. Qi State, one of the hundred countries in the north of Qingzhou, has its capital city Wucheng College in the east of Lincheng City. At this moment, the square in front of the most powerful civilian college in Qi State is already crowded with people, because today is Wucheng College. On the first day of the annual enrollment period, boys and girls from all over the country are waiting with great expectations.
One by one, boys and girls who signed up were arranged by people from Wucheng College to take preliminary examinations. Eighty-nine out of ten of them would be eliminated. This shows that the admission of Wucheng College is strict. Although it is a civilian college , but never accept mediocrity.
"Next, Zhou Xing."
On the temporary test platform, next to a test stone monument that was as tall as one person, a woman in a blue robe and skirt shouted loudly, The woman is a veteran student of Wucheng College, and she is wearing the uniform of the college. The slightly loose uniform cannot conceal the woman's curvy figure, which attracts the hot gazes of many men.
Finally it’s my turn... Under the testing platform, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy wearing coarse cloth took a deep breath, trying to relieve his nervousness, but to no avail. The young man walked out of the crowd, stared closely at the test stone tablet in front of him, pursed his lips, and stepped forward resolutely.
He pressed his right palm on the test area on the test stone, stimulating the weak spiritual power in his body. Suddenly, the test stone began to emit a faint blue-purple light from the bottom, spreading to the upper part of the stone.
“The level is so high, but it’s still Lei Linggen. Let me go, where did this kid come from?”
“Yes, it is said that the innate spiritual root is the strongest among all the freshmen. This is generally the level..."
"This kid is going to soar into the sky"
...
Amazed, envious and even jealous. The voice came from the crowd, and the young man finally showed a smile on his face and looked at the woman aside. The latter smiled back. This was a treatment that the dozens of people in the previous test did not receive. Those people were not looked at by her at all!
"Zhou Xing, seventh-grade thunder spirit root."
When the woman's voice fell, not only the test bench, but also the people around her looked sideways. The seventh-grade thunder spirit root The name is too loud. Spiritual roots are the basis of human cultivation and can be divided into grades one to nine. The seventh-grade spiritual root is the top spiritual root in Qi. Legend has it that only the founding king of Qi hundreds of years ago had an eighth-grade spiritual root. With his proud talent, he finally became The super strong ones established the Qi State, and besides that the seventh grade is the strongest in the Qi State!
Spiritual roots have attributes. The most common ones are the Five Elements Spiritual Roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There are also rare spiritual roots such as thunder attribute, dark attribute, etc., which are generally much stronger than the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
Therefore, when the seventh-grade thunder spirit root appeared, it immediately alarmed the senior officials of Wucheng Academy.
Originally, the people who were in charge of the test were only some veteran students. There were no high-level officials of the college in the huge square. They were all sitting in front of the grand main entrance of the college.Town, quite a bit like watching the storm with a smile. One of them has white beard and hair, and he looks old at first glance, but his face is rosy and does not look old at all. This person is Zhao Chen, one of the two vice-presidents of Wucheng College, a well-known person in the entire Qi Kingdom. Top strong man.
Zhao Chen, who had always been steady, could not sit still at this time and immediately went to the test bench where Zhou Xing was.
When Zhao Chen arrived, the woman in charge of the test immediately said respectfully: "I have met the vice president."
Zhao Chen waved his hand. He usually didn't care about these red tapes. , not to mention that his thoughts are all on the young man in front of him, and his eyes seem to be shining, as if he wants to eat the young man alive.
"What's your name?"
"The junior's name is Zhou Xing," the young man paused and added: "The disease is a disease."
"Wuji...a good name, no disease..." Zhao Chen smacked his lips, then changed the topic and asked: "Are you willing to become my disciple?"
As soon as Zhao Chen said this, The higher-ups of the college who followed behind him were slightly surprised and then all understood. One of them, an old woman whose position was second only to Zhao Chen, smiled kindly and said: "Baili boy, if you don't agree quickly, Zhao Chen, the vice president, is a sixth-grade Thunder Spirit Root, a strong person in the Celestial Realm!”
The Celestial Realm! Zhou Xing's breath stagnated. He was still only in the mortal martial realm, the weakest one, and he was still far away from the celestial realm!
"Student has seen Master Zhao." Zhou Xing immediately bowed to Master Zhao.
"Hahaha...Okay, just follow me, I will take you to your residence," Zhao Chen turned to the old woman next to him and said, "Mr. Yu, I'll leave this place to you."
That Yu Lao nodded and accepted Zhao Chen’s assignment.
Freshmen who originally passed the test had to participate in a teacher selection competition, and were then uniformly assigned to tutors at different levels in the college. Those who performed well would be favored by the college's senior management, but there were exceptions, like Zhou Xing. Waiting for geniuses, some academy elders, like Zhao Chen, the vice-dean, would take their favorite students under their tutelage and teach them carefully after testing their spiritual roots.
Zhao Chen led Zhou Xing towards the college, introducing the situation of Wucheng College along the way.
The academy has areas such as the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Kung Fu Pavilion, the Treasure Pavilion, the Competition Field, and the Training Tower. Behind the academy is a branch of the Kongsang Mountains called Shengxi Mountain. Legend has it that there was a super strong The one who showed his signs here.
The upper echelons of the academy live at the foot of Shengxi Mountain. The aura of heaven and earth there is rich and far superior to other places. The training tower is also built based on Shengxi Mountain.
The college has a dean and two vice-presidents. The dean is named Qi Sheng. He has always seen the beginning but not the end. Even the senior officials of other colleges have hardly seen him, let alone the students. , in addition to Zhao Chen, the vice president also has a man named Nie Qi.
Below the vice-president are the college elders, mentors at the four levels of purple, gold, silver and bronze.
Arrived at Zhao Chen’s courtyard, Zhao Chen first inspected Zhou Xing carefully, then made some preparations, and said to the latter seriouslySaid: "The most important thing in the mortal martial realm is to temper the physical body. However, many warriors do not pay attention to this. They only focus on improving their realm and quickly forming elixirs to enter the spiritual martial realm. This will only ruin their own martial arts path. If there is no big change in the later stage, By chance, your achievements will be greatly limited.
You are now at the sixth level of mortal martial arts. At this age, you can only rely on your own cultivation to prove your talent. However, your physical body is also weak. I am now. You must initially improve your physical body through medicinal baths, follow me."
Zhao Chen led Zhou Xing into the underground stone chamber. There was a purple-black pool in the stone chamber, and there were bubbles on the water surface. It looks very scary.
"The process of medicated bathing will be very painful. Just scream out if it hurts. The longer you persist, the better the effect will be. Now take off your clothes and go in."
"Okay."
Zhou Xing did not dare to neglect at all, and stepped into the pool cautiously. As soon as he touched the water, a heartbreaking pain came from his feet. He followed Zhao Chen's instructions and did not hold back. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain. Screams came from the mouth and echoed through the stone chamber.
Zhou Xing gritted his teeth and jumped directly into the pool. His whole body was soaked in the water, leaving only his head above the water, and his originally angular face was distorted...
< p>I don’t know how long it took, Zhou Xing’s whole body was numb, and the pain of the medicinal bath seemed to have disappeared. Zhao Chen’s voice came: “Okay, come out. I didn’t expect you to insist on fully absorbing the power of the medicine. Compared with you Senior sister is very powerful."Zhou Xing opened his eyes and saw the change in the water. The purple-black color that symbolized the power of the medicine turned into some black filthy matter, which was discharged from his body. Impurities.
He immediately came out of the pool and put on his clothes, and asked curiously: "Teacher, did you just say senior sister?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Zhao Chen He stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "I have two disciples in total. Your senior sister was taken in by me five years ago. Her name is Ye Qingshu. Like me, she has a sixth-grade thunder spirit root. She was in the medicinal bath. She persisted for nearly an hour and absorbed three-quarters of the medicine's power. She was also stubborn and refused to give up. Finally, she passed out and it was Mr. Yu who fished her out.
She is indeed a human being. A cultivator who stays in the training tower all day long, he is now twenty-one years old and is already at the eighth level of the spiritual martial arts, ranking in the top five on the academy’s spiritual list.”
The eighth level of the spiritual martial arts, the top five on the spiritual list… ...Zhou Xing was secretly stunned. This senior sister of his is really amazing. He had already heard Zhao Chen say that the Spiritual Ranking was a ranking among the thousands of Spiritual Martial Realm students in the academy. It had to be defeated through challenges. In addition, there was also the Heavenly Ranking. It is the ranking among the few Tianwu realm students in the academy.
"Don't feel pressured. With your talent, I'm afraid you'll be able to catch up with your senior sister in a few years." As he spoke, Zhao Chen took out a scroll, "This is the Golden Body Technique." , is a third-level martial skill that can greatly improve your physical body. Although it is a third-level martial arts, the threshold for training is extremely high. Next, I will take you to the training tower."
The training tower is in a mountain stream. The tower is more than a hundred meters tall, but from the outside you can only seeGo to a black tower, and the entrance is at the top of the tower.
When Zhao Chen arrived with Zhou Xing, the management elder of the cultivation tower, an old man in gray robes as thin as a bamboo pole, immediately stood up to greet him: "I have seen the vice-dean, this is..."
"This is my new student Zhou Xing-Wuji, and this is Elder Wang Yeping."
"I have met Elder Wang." Zhou Xing quickly saluted.
"Mr. Wang, open a spiritual pressure training room for him on the second floor, only for three hours." Zhao Chen said after thinking for a while.
The training tower has a total of twelve floors. The higher you go down, the more advanced the training room is, and the greater the authority required. Ranking on the spiritual list and heavenly list is a kind of authority. Of course, Zhao Chen has the top authority. , it doesn’t matter which training room he wants, but he can’t break the rules. The unspoken rule in the academy is that for the first time, students under these high-level disciples can enjoy free access.
The training room is also divided into two types: ordinary and spiritual pressure. The ordinary training room only has rich spiritual energy, while the spiritual pressure training room, as the name suggests, has powerful spiritual pressure that can press the warrior to the limit.
"Okay," Wang Yeping took out a token with numbers engraved on it, "I won't accompany you to the training room No. 7 on the second floor."
"Go and do your business."
In the training room, Zhou Xing felt a huge pressure as soon as he entered, as if his spine was going to be broken. He struggled to straighten his back, but Every step is heavy.
Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Although it is only the second level of spiritual pressure, it is very rare for you to be able to move freely for the first time.
Now I will demonstrate to you the Dacheng's spiritual pressure. Watch out for the Golden Body Technique!"
After saying that, Zhao Chen flicked his long sleeves, spread his legs and squatted down. His whole body instantly turned into a light golden color, like gold and stone, and his fists danced at the same speed. It was unpleasant, even a little slow, but there was a faint sound of breaking through the air, and the aura of heaven and earth was lingering on the fist. Finally, Zhao Chen punched forward, and a "boom" was heard ten meters away, and his spiritual energy surged.
"Are you sure? This relies entirely on the physical body. The punch I just made cannot be resisted even by a spirit martial artist with full defense."
Before coming, Zhou Xing He has already read the records of the Golden Body Technique, and with his powerful memory that has almost a photographic memory, he has long been familiar with the training methods of this martial art. Now that Zhao Chen is demonstrating it live, Zhou Xing has almost no difficulty getting started.
Zhou Xing nodded affirmatively, and then started practicing by himself, with Zhao Chen giving guidance.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Xing performed the Golden Body Technique and pumped out his fists. A faint golden luster appeared, which was a sign that he had successfully started practicing the Golden Body Technique.
Zhao Chen on the side was smiling broadly: "You have gotten started so quickly, you are really a master... Hurry, calm down immediately and take advantage of the opportunity to break through!"
It turns out that Zhao Chen always paid attention to Zhou Xing's situation, and observed that practicing the Golden Body Technique affected the spiritual power in the latter's body, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth tended to be drawn into the body, and understood that this was an opportunity for the latter to make a breakthrough.
After listening to Zhao Chen's prompt, Zhou Xing immediately broke through with all his heart. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into his limbs and bones like a trickle, and the breakthrough was quickly completed.
The seventh level of mortal martial arts!
Zhou Xing clenched his fist and felt a powerful force, which was nearly twice as strong as before his breakthrough. He had never made such a big leap before his breakthrough, plus the previous medicinal bath. Ascension, it can be said that he completed a transformation like a rebirth in just a few hours.
"Go out, others will be in trouble if you occupy the training room when the time is up," Zhao Chen said, "At this point, today's enrollment should have come to an end. I have a hunch that there will be many students this year. You are a good young man, there will be a freshman competition in a month, so you must not slack off."
"Follow the teacher's instructions"
Back to Zhao Chen's residence, Zhou Xing got a lot. A set of college uniforms and an identity token with his information entered in them. These were originally collected by the instructors and distributed to the students after the enrollment was completed, but now Zhou Xing also got them in advance.
That night, Zhou Xing couldn't sleep, so he practiced all night. The next day, he was not tired at all, but full of energy. If he had been in the past, he would have died of sleepiness.
Early the next morning, Zhou Xing and Zhao Chen ate together a spiritual meal made from various spiritual plants and elixirs containing spiritual energy, then took the Qiankun bag given by Zhao Chen and prepared to return. at home.
The Qiankun Bag contains a small space that can be loaded with items. It is more than enough for Zhou Xing to use. The more advanced ones are extremely precious space rings. Just one of them can be worth tens of thousands or even dozens of dollars. Ten thousand gold coins, even Zhao Chen couldn't easily take it out.
When Zhou Xing came out of the main entrance of the college, he was immediately spotted by the elders of the nearby college. Although each of these elders looked almost old, they had very vicious eyes. Although Zhou Xing did not look outstanding, Now wearing the uniform uniform of the college, he was still recognized at a glance as Zhao Chen's new disciple.
