Chapter 47, Inner Court Competition
After the continuous explanation of the shopkeeper surnamed Chen, Tang Gu finally got a little understanding of the concept of magic. That is, the power may not be very powerful, but it must have special uses, and it is very rare, a rare special combat technique.
"I see."
He nodded and asked again, "What about this bloodthirsty technique? What is the source? Is it really as powerful as the label says? If used, how many pros and cons?"
When the shopkeeper surnamed Chen heard this, he laughed and said, "I'm sorry, but please don't worry about this. It's absolutely effective and without any falsehood. And it's not that I boasted that this secret book of bloodthirst, if it weren't just half, was incomplete, and it would never be possible to get it here for auction.
The complete secret recipe of "bloodthirst" requires at least 30,000 stone coins, and it still has a price but no market."
He explained: "The secret of bloodthirsty technique is an inspiration obtained by an ancient powerful man from a monster called the "Bloodthirsty Spider".
When this monster encounters a powerful foreign enemy and cannot defeat or escape, its body will suddenly become hot and then spit out a strange blood, containing highly poisonous.
The strength of this spider will begin to suddenly surge. After repelling or killing the enemy, no matter what the result is, the "bloodthirsty spider" will die soon, so the "bloodthirsty technique" is also listed as one of the forbidden techniques.
However, although the young master is relieved, the "bloodthirst technique" is not that dangerous. Its function is to briefly improve personal strength in battle and not cause death.
However, even if it is a forbidden technique, there are naturally sequelae. Moreover, when practicing bloodthirst technique to a profound level, the sequelae becomes more serious. This kind of exercise is different from one's own opinion.
Why, young master, do you need to think about it?"
Tang Gu's eyes flashed twice. At this moment, the girl in green had already returned, holding a small package in her hand, and quickly walked over as she looked at Tang Gu.
"Hello, young master, everything you need is ready, a total of 621 stone coins."
After hearing the words of the girl in green, Tang Gu opened the package in person, carefully inspected it, and confirmed that it was the items he needed, he immediately nodded, and then turned to face the old man named Chen behind the counter.
"Pack it up for me, too."
A moment later, Tang Gu returned to the small thatched cottage where he lived outside the town with the secret book of "bloodthirst" and a small bag of materials and elixirs.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed quickly. On this day, the registration deadline for the inner courtyard competition is coming.
Tang Gu stood up and headed towards the inner courtyard of the Martial Arts Court.
After a moment, Tang Gu returned to the Martial Arts Square again.
A huge white notice posted on one end of the square.
"The inner courtyard competition lasts six days. The top ten winners not only have the opportunity to receive an inner courtyard reward, but also participate in the annual outer sect trial held by one of the six major sects, Wushang Qiufeng Pavilion, in August next year."
"Those who successfully pass the trial can become official disciples of the Supreme Qiufeng Pavilion."
"The ranking reward of the inner courtyard competition: first place: eighth grade, choose one weapon. Second place: inner courtyard arsenal, choose one second grade medium secret book. Third place: one five-turn pill, two Xuanhua Yulu Pills."
"The rest, each has a reward, from the fourth to sixth, each obtains a seventh-grade weapon at the ordinary level. From the seventh to the tenth, each obtains a second-grade low-grade secret book."
"Registration deadline, today, the competition officially begins, tomorrow at noon!"
Tang Gu silently kept these information in his heart, and then quickly went to the name hall on the side and reported his name.
The director's elder looked at him, and after confirming that it was correct, he threw him a short silver medal with the number "fifty-nine" engraved, which was the entry certificate for participating in the inner court competition tomorrow.
After leaving the List Hall, Tang Gu did not return to the small thatched cottage outside the town, and directly lived in his own wooden house in the martial arts courtyard again.
He thought silently: "The top ten people in the inner courtyard competition have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the outer sect of the Supreme Qiufeng Pavilion. It seems that the battle between Billy Blade is bleeding."
"However... participating in the selection does not mean that you will definitely pass. There are countless tens of thousands of trial disciples participating in the selection of Wushang Qiufeng Pavilion every year, but one who can really pass the assessment will be left out."
"With your own strength, the top ten disciples of the inner court should not be a problem. What we need to do now is to try to improve to a higher ranking. Only in this way can we get the attention of the Martial Arts Academy and get better rewards. Next year, there will be greater opportunities."
After thinking silently, Tang Gu stopped thinking about it and began to practice silently to accumulate strength.
One night passed in a blink of an eye, and dawned the next day was already dawn.
Before dawn, some disciples in the inner courtyard started to make noise in the square outside. Although the competition time has not yet arrived, it is obvious that who can still sleep at this moment?
However, Tang Gu ignored the noise outside, and still closed his eyes tightly, and seized all the time to practice.
On the surface of his body, a layer of crystal light kept flashing. In the sea of souls above his head, a square crystal gradually changed from brown to light black, slowly rotating, emitting a stream of inexplicable fluctuations.
"The second turn of soul thoughts, it's done!"
A huge aura suddenly emerged from Tang Gu's body, which shocked the dust on the wooden table in front of him, and then disappeared.
It was already noon, and Tang Gu opened his eyes again, pushed open the door of the wooden house, and walked out.
...
The sun is dazzling, and many people have gathered in the Baiyu Square in the inner courtyard of the Qiudao Martial Arts Court.
"Iron Sword" Du Pengfei, "Silver Sword" Du Zhongjing, "Ice Girl" Li Youxue, "Lieyang Fist" Yan Shan, "Paper Scholar" Xiao Qingbi and others are all in their eyes.
After four or five months of missing, everyone's face was suddenly renewed, as if there had been a great change in their body.
Even Du Pengfei, the "Iron Sword" who had just entered the inner courtyard, Li Youxue and others, were full of energy and Zihua was restrained, and had obvious improvements in strength.
It is completely incomparable to the mental outlook and strength of everyone when they first entered the inner courtyard four or five months ago.
In addition, the others were some of the original inner courtyard disciples, and Tang Gu did not know any of them. He looked over carefully and knew his opponents, and he would never stop fighting.
I saw that these disciples in the inner courtyard were obviously much stronger than the five newly entered disciples. Their energy was not bulging and their energy was not bulging. The divine light opened and closed in their eyes, and their breath was diving deep. None of them were ordinary people.
Among them, the most conspicuous are the two people in the center.
These two men, one with a blue robe and a red belt, were wearing a pair of thin ice-blue gloves on their hands, and were embroidered on their sleeves with a huge silver snake waving in the sea, and their heads were facing the bright moon.
One man was wearing a purple dress and looked rough. He had a hidden blue animal pattern jade belt around his waist, black and dense hair, unfathomable eyes, tall, heroic, and extraordinary appearance.
Looking at them, Tang Gu actually felt like facing the ancient giant beast, and his heart couldn't help but move.
After listening sideways for a while, Tang Gu finally found out his identities from the conversation between the disciples of the inner courtyard around him.
The inner courtyard ranks second and third disciples.
"Snake Hand" Ye Guyu, "Thunder King" Fang Jingshuo.
One is the late stage of the fourth-turn in the airway and the middle stage of the fourth-turn in the airway, and the two are the most powerful except for the first in the inner courtyard and the "Jade Sword" Ning Qingjun.
It is also the two people who have the most hope to enter the Outer Sect of the Supreme Qiufeng Pavilion through trials.
However, after a while of careful examination, Tang Gu found only sixty-one people in the entire inner courtyard square, including himself, and only sixty-one people.
The legendary first person in the inner courtyard, Ning Qingjun, did not show up for a long time.
