After leaving the Climbing Tower, Lu An went straight to the palace where he studied during the day.

Because he really had no interest in the Eight Kingdoms War and had no desire to participate, he was immersed in the world of his own cultivation along the way and never thought about it again.

After arriving at the palace, many disciples had already arrived. These disciples gathered together as if they were discussing something. Seeing this, Lu An also walked over.

Soon, when Lu An was approaching everyone, Gongye Qingshan spotted him and said, "You're here!"

Lu An nodded, looking at everyone's expressions that seemed not to be good, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"Something did happen." Gongye Qingshan frowned and said, "It is said that our senior brother was seriously injured due to too much load while training for the Eight-Nation War. He is now undergoing emergency treatment!"

Lu An was startled when he heard this and said, "When did it happen? Is the situation serious?"

"It is said that it happened in the early morning. The situation is very serious." Gongye Qingshan sighed and said, "It should be that the senior brother himself is too strong and is under the pressure of the Eight Kingdoms War, which makes him so desperate."

After hearing this, Lu An thought for a while and said, "When I passed by the Climbing Tower this morning, I saw Elder Huang Zhizhong leading many people into the Climbing Tower."

"Well, we also know this news." Gongye Qingshan nodded and said, "This is indeed part of their training plan. Even if something happens to the senior brother, it cannot delay the progress of the plan. However, it is completely impossible for the senior brother to participate this time

The Eight-Nation War is about to begin, and with his strong character, we are afraid that he will not be able to think about it."

"..."

Hearing Gongye Qingshan's words, Lu An also nodded slightly. Indeed, for such a strong person, once he loses some kind of opportunity, something will probably happen.

"Where's the master?" Lu An thought for a while and asked again.

"Master hurried over this morning after hearing about this." Gongye Qingshan said solemnly, "Maybe we won't be able to go to class today. Alas, it was all caused by the Eight Kingdoms War. If the Eight Kingdoms War hadn't been so...

A good reward…”

> "Reward?" Lu An heard this, his heart moved slightly, and asked, "Is there any reward?"

"Of course, this is fighting for the reputation of Dacheng Tianshan, and also protecting the entire Tiancheng Kingdom!" Gongye Qingshan nodded quickly and said, "As long as you can participate in the competition, Dacheng Tianshan will give generous rewards. If you get a good ranking,

The rewards are even more frightening!”

"Once you get a good ranking, not only Dacheng Tianshan will give you good things, but the competition itself will also give you many good things. Coupled with this honor, whether you stay in Dacheng Tianshan or enter the imperial court in the future, your future will be bright.

Gongye Qingshan said quickly.

When he heard about the future, Lu An showed no interest and just asked, "What are the rewards?"

Hearing this, Gongye Qingshan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I heard that in the last Eight Kingdoms War, the reward for the first place among the eight cultivation holy places was a fifth-grade heavenly technique and a fifth-grade weapon.

!”

"What?!" Lu An was shocked when he heard this!

This is the first time he has heard of fifth-grade weapons!

Seeing Lu An's surprised look, Gongye Qingshan was also slightly startled and said, "Don't you know? I thought you would know about this kind of thing in the outer peak. And these fifth-grade heavenly arts and fifth-grade weapons can be

It’s not that you just give it and forget it, but each holy land will come up with a fifth-grade heavenly technique and a fifth-grade weapon for you to choose from, and you can choose the one you like best.”

Hearing this, Lu An was shocked again and nodded slightly. He was not interested in fifth-grade heavenly arts, but he would be lying if he said he was not interested in fifth-grade weapons.

Seeing Lu An's rare surprised expression, Gongye Qingshan also became interested. He elbowed Lu An and raised his eyebrows and said, "It just so happens that senior brother can't participate. There is a spot available. How about you give it a try?"

"

"Me?" Lu An was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, senior brother is seriously injured, so the 21st should be the one to fill in, and I

It doesn't matter."

"That's true." Gongye Qingshan nodded and said, "But you can challenge No. 21 directly, and you can go."

"Let's forget it." Lu An smiled and said, "I don't want to get beaten."

Gongye Qingshan also smiled when he heard this and didn't say anything more on this topic.

In fact, it's not that Lu An doesn't have the confidence to defeat others to get a spot in the Eight-Nation Competition, but that he has more important things to do. Before solving Han Ya's matter, he doesn't want to expose his strength too early.

Sure enough, as Gongye Qingshan said, the master did not come back to teach all morning. At noon, everyone left one after another, and everyone knew in their hearts that they would do whatever they should do in the afternoon.

Because of this, Lu An simply had lunch and then walked to the Celestial Tower again. His goal is to be promoted to a third-level Heavenly Master before the end of the year. At the current speed, it may be difficult to achieve.

In fact, Lu An had always wanted to live in the Climbing Tower during the day and night, but he had to go during the day to teach, otherwise he would attract attention. Now that he didn't have to go in the afternoon, he naturally went straight to the Climbing Tower.

When he entered the Climbing Tower, the elder on the first floor was startled when he saw Lu An and said, "Why are you here so early today?"

"Yeah." Lu An smiled, pointed upstairs, and asked, "Elder, are those people gone?" ??

"Not leaving." The elder shook his head and said, "If they are tired, they can quit and take a rest outside. Such training will take a whole day."

Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this, so he would inevitably run into these people. But Lu An was not too worried, because he knew that during the months of practicing here until the end of the year, it was impossible for him not to be bumped into by others.

, it’s just a little ahead of schedule.

"Elder, I'm going up first." Lu An said, then walked towards the stairs.

After arriving on the second floor, Lu An entered the door and immediately saw Huang Zhizhong standing outside the red line. Outside him, there was

There were many disciples resting on the ground, but there were only six of them within the red line.

Judging from their expressions, these six people are obviously in pain. Moreover, their positions are not very close to the inside, but close to the edge. But being able to persist inside means that they are working hard.

Lu An's appearance was naturally sensed by Huang Zhizhong immediately. He looked back and did not expect that Lu An would appear here again. Lu An naturally walked towards Huang Zhizhong and said respectfully, "Disciple has met Elder Huang."

"Again?" Huang Zhizhong looked at Lu An in surprise and said, "You are working very hard, but be careful of being injured by the pressure. If you practice by yourself, no one can save you if something happens."

Lu An nodded when he heard this and said, "Disciple, please keep this in mind."

After Lu An saluted Huang Zhizhong again, he walked towards the red line. Outside the red line, all the tired disciples saw such a young boy walking in, with various expressions on their faces.

Some were shocked, some were surprised, but most of them were disdainful, thinking that Lu An was overestimating his abilities. Even they could not bear the pressure, let alone this young man?

However, when Lu An stepped lightly onto the red line, they were all startled, including Huang Zhizhong, whose eyes lit up.

There is no shaking in the body!

Time didn't give them too much time to think about it. They saw Lu An's other foot also entered the red line, and then walked towards it step by step.

So, with every step Lu An took, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more shocked, and finally became dumbfounded. When they saw Lu An stop not far from the core, and then sit down quietly,

Everyone almost got up from the ground, with the same expression!

How can this be?

How can this be!

However, Huang Zhizhong was well-informed after all, and soon calmed down from his surprise. He looked at Lu An in the distance, his eyes gradually narrowed into a line.

It seems that the twentieth candidate he was still thinking about just now has been settled!
Chapter completed!
