Ding Kui and Ouyang rushed forward and took a booklet from Lu Ji's hand, which Lu Ji should have prepared for several disciples early in the morning.
Ouyang Chong's mood for a successful breakthrough was completely ruined by Ding Kui. After taking the pamphlet, he left and went home. Lu Ji and Ding Kui sent Ouyang Chong out of the door and gave him some instructions.
After seeing Ouyang Chong off, Lu Ji turned around and said to Ding Kui: "You will go to Black Earth City with me at the end of the month. President Zeng Qing will laugh out loud when he sees you. The Knights Guild in Black Earth City has not been here for many years.
A decent talent.”
In the remaining half a month, Ding Kui practiced the "Magic of Transforming Qi into a Dragon". With the help of his own mental power, he was able to condense fighting qi more efficiently than ordinary people.
Taishu Gong once forcibly poured magic power into Ding Kui. Ding Kui knew the first six meridians where the magic power was stored. By reading the memories of past lives through his soul, he knew the six meridians that needed to be opened to advance to become a robed mage and a fighting blade knight.
The earliest energy stored is the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin, and then flows into the six meridians: Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming, Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, Spleen Meridian of Foot Taiyin, Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, and Small Intestine Meridian of Hand Taiyang. From the order, it can be seen that they are from
From the chest and abdomen to the fingers, from the fingers to the head, from the head to the toes, from the toes to the chest and abdomen, such a cycle.
Ding Kui remembered that the human body's meridians are divided into twelve regular meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. The first six meridians were in the twelve regular meridians. He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that if you master the fighting spirit of the twelve regular meridians, you can advance to the peak of the fearless knight.
According to Ding Kui's training status, he is very likely to have mastered the "Magic of Transforming Qi into a Dragon" to the level of a legendary knight. The Ding family has never produced anyone with such strong mental power, and Ding Kui has experience in transforming magic power.
Whether he can reach the God of War directly is beyond his imagination with his current strength.
On March 28, 4868 in the Tongli calendar, Lu Ji took Ding Kui and several followers, riding horses on the official road, towards the Black Earth City, more than fifty kilometers northeast of Xiaxi Town.
Before noon, Ding Kui and the others arrived outside the south gate of Black Earth City.
The city wall to the south of Black Earth City is five kilometers long, about ten meters high and less than ten meters thick. A city wall of this size can only protect against petty theft. In front of high-level warriors, this wall and wooden fence
There is no difference.
There were a total of ten city defense troops at the city gate, and only two of them stood in front of the horses, shouting at the civilians who wanted to enter the city, maintaining order rudely, and taking the trouble to collect the city entry tax of three copper coins one by one.
The remaining soldiers were standing against the wall of the city gate, with their weapons casually placed aside. None of them were wearing helmets. There were two fat ones who were shaking their helmets to fan the wind.
When I saw Lu Ji and his men approaching the south city gate from a distance, the two city defense troops in front of Juma quickly moved away from Juma and dispersed the crowd blocking the road.
The eight city defense troops in the city gate also stood up straight, picked up their weapons, put on their helmets and stood in a sparse row. Several of them didn't have time to fasten their helmets. It seemed that the black earth city defense troops
Get to know this new lord of Xiaxi Town, a tough military general who is rigorous in running the army and decisive in killing.
Baron Luki frowned at the messy group of city defense troops, suppressed his dissatisfaction, entered the south city gate without saying a word, and rushed non-stop in the direction of the Knights Guild. Judging from the situation, the leader of the Black Earth City defense army must be
You will be punished.
The Knights Guild is located on Knights Street, less than one kilometer away from the South City Gate. In Black Earth City, the Knights Guild is considered a giant, so the street is directly named "Knights Street".
The outer wall of the Knights Guild is made of blue square bricks. This kind of stone has large square corners, hard texture, thick color and texture. The dark blue outer wall is neat and uniform.
The main entrance of the guild is extremely tall and spacious, and can allow five war horses to enter and exit in parallel. There are two stone beasts on the left and right in front of the door. They look like tigers, have wings and can fly. They want to pounce and bite people, with ferocious faces. The houses in the guild are all made of brick and wood.
The highest is only four floors, but it is scattered and arranged in a way that coincides with the military formation.
There was no one guarding the gate of the County City Magician Guild, but there was someone guarding the gate of the Black Earth City Knights Guild. The guard at the door took Lu Ji and his party to the guild hall. Lu Ji asked Ding Kui to enter the hall by himself to take the assessment, and he led the guards upstairs.
Go.
The knight's guild hall is square in shape and about five meters high. There are several rows of chairs on the left side of the hall. On the right side of the hall is an exhibition area displaying a variety of armors, bucklers, long swords and knight's guns.
Today is the day for the apprentice knight's assessment. No one comes to the Knights Guild to handle matters. The knights have no interest in getting involved in the children's affairs.
In the middle of the hall, facing the door, there was a counter half a person's height. Ding Kui walked up to the counter and said to the young man inside: "My name is Ding Kui, and I am here to take the probationary knight assessment."
The young man stood up, opened a book and said, "Ding Kui from Xiaxi Town, a student of Master Lu Ji?"
"Yes, that's me."
"This is your number plate. Take it and wait over there. The deacon will take you for the assessment later." After saying this, the young man handed Ding Kui a wooden sign and pointed to the left side of the hall.
"Thank you!" Ding Kui picked up the wooden sign with the number 9 on it and walked to the left side of the hall.
There are already several people sitting on the chairs on the left, including two women and five men, all of whom are preparing to take part in today's apprentice knight promotion assessment.
Shi Li, the rich daughter of Black Earth City, and Fu An, the son of a tax collector, were sitting in the front row. They glanced at Ding Kui who had just walked in, ignored them, and continued to chat eagerly; Ma Duping and Lao Wang were sitting in the back row.
The two disciples from the common people stood up and bowed to Ding Kui; the remaining few people sitting in the middle nodded to Ding Kui.
Ding Kui smiled and nodded to everyone in the hall, but he smiled particularly brightly when facing Ma Duping and Lao Wangjue. He walked to Ma Duping and Lao Wangjue, sat down, and chatted with them for a while.
I asked them their names and identities.
Not long after Ding Kui sat down, a castrated voice shouted outside the hall: "Aha, I'm not late, I hope I didn't delay everyone's assessment!"
I saw a young man about 1.7 meters tall, with bright blond hair, wearing a brand new blue training robe, walking into the hall from the door with drake steps.
The visitor was Red, the youngest son of the city lord. He was quite handsome. This thirteen-year-old playboy was well-known in Black Earth City. As soon as Red came in, Fu An and Shi Li stood up immediately, bowing,
On the other hand, the first row was vacated for Red to sit.
Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted Red, but Ding Kui sat quietly, nodding and smiling.
Reid glanced at Ding Kui, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and without saying anything else, he went straight to the empty seat given by Fu An and the others and sat down.
When Leonard sat down, a young man with a gloomy face came over and said, "Master Leonard, this is your number plate."
Leonard took the number plate and waved his hand impatiently, and the young man retreated to the counter in embarrassment.
Not long after, a majestic man walked down the stairs. He was about thirty years old, with a Chinese character and a tall build. He held a list in his left hand, and lightly pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist with his right hand, and walked quickly to the hall.
left side.
"My name is Long Guoli, I am the foreign affairs deacon of the guild, and I am also the examiner for your assessment today. There are a total of nine knight apprentices in Black Earth City participating in the assessment this time. I will click on the names, and the apprentices who are called will come forward.
Reid, Fu An, Shi Li, Luo Jie, Han Rui, Shui Yu, Ma Duping, Lao Wangjue, Ding Kui."
The nine people lined up in the order they were read and stood in front of Long Guoli.
"Well, everyone is here. Now all of you will follow me to the martial arts square."
Among the nine people who participated in the assessment this time, Ding Kui was the youngest, not yet thirteen years old; followed by Red, who was over thirteen years old, and the remaining seven were all fourteen or fifteen years old.
Long Guoli led the group of teenagers and lined up to the martial arts square.
The first item in the promotion assessment is to test the fighting spirit. This test is the simplest, but it is also a hurdle for knight apprentices to become apprentice knights.
Long Guoli took out a crystal ball: "This is a test crystal. Hold the crystal in your hands and run your fighting energy through the meridians. If the crystal ball shines brightly, then you have passed the test."
Reid was the first to conduct the test. He lit up the crystal ball and emitted a faint red light. The eight subsequent people all lit up the crystal ball.
If you don't gather your fighting spirit, you won't be able to take part in the promotion assessment.
Among the nine people, Red lit up the brightest, followed by Ding Kui, followed by Shi Li, Fu An, Luo Jie, Han Rui, Shui Yu, Ma Duping, and Lao Wangjue.
Reid took the longest time to gather his fighting spirit and won first place in this test. He was so proud that he almost raised his head to the sky.
Ding Kui ranked second. Only Reid was not surprised. He knew Ding Kui's identity. The others were surprised that this youngest apprentice could gather so much fighting spirit.
Shi Li unexpectedly ranked third. It seems that her father spent a lot of money to buy good fighting skills. The two sons of common people ranked last without any accident.
Long Guoli pointed to the stone drum on the side of the martial arts field and the two lines in the center of the field, and said: "The second test is strength. You pick up the stone drum on the side of the field, come to this line, and then throw the stone drum across it.
That line, even if you pass the level. You can also try to throw a few more, and I will record your best score."
The lightest stone drum on the side of the field is 50 kilograms. The two lines in the field are ten meters apart. If you pick up the 50 kilogram stone drum and throw it ten meters, it will pass.
This assessment not only tests strength, but also transportation skills. You cannot achieve good results by relying on sheer force alone.
Reid was the first one to appear. He walked directly to the 100-kilogram stone drum, opened his arms and hugged the stone drum tightly, sank his waist, pushed his bent legs upward, and picked up the stone drum. He hugged the stone drum
Shi Gu showed off and spun around in circles a few times, then walked to the first line, adjusted his breath and circulated his fighting energy, and threw Shi Gu over the second line with all his strength.
