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 the wind is gentle. Qi, one of the hundred countries in the north of Qingzhou, has Wucheng College in the east of Lincheng as its capital. At this moment, the square in front of the most powerful civilian college in Qi is already crowded with people, because
Today is the first day of the annual admissions period for Wucheng College. Boys and girls from all over the world are waiting with great expectations.
One by one, the boys and girls who signed up were arranged to take preliminary examinations by people from Wucheng College, and eight or nine out of ten of them would be eliminated. This shows that Wucheng College's admissions are strict. Although it is a civilian college, it will never accept mediocre talents.
"Next, Zhou Xing."
On the temporary test platform, next to a test stone monument that was one person high, a woman in a blue robe and skirt shouted loudly. The woman was a veteran student of Wucheng College. She was wearing the uniform of the college, which was slightly loose.
The uniform cannot hide the woman's curvy figure, which attracts many men's eyes.
Finally it’s my turn... Under the testing platform, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old wearing coarse cloth took a deep breath, trying to relieve his nervousness, but to no avail. The boy walked out of the crowd and stared closely.
Looking at the test stone tablet in front of him, he pursed his lips and stepped forward firmly.
He pressed his right palm on the test area on the test stone and activated the weak spiritual power in his body. Suddenly, the test stone began to emit a faint blue-purple light from the bottom and spread to the upper part of the stone.
"The level is so high, but it's still Leilinggen. Let me go, where did this kid come from?"
"Yes, it is said that among the freshmen in the past, the ones with the strongest spiritual roots are generally at this level..."
"This kid is going to soar into the sky."
…
Voices of exclamation, envy and even jealousy came from the crowd. The young man finally showed a smile and looked at the woman aside. The latter smiled back. This was a treatment that the dozens of people who had been tested before had not received at all.
She looked at it squarely!
"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 name of the seventh-grade thunder spirit root was too loud. The spiritual root is the basis of human cultivation and can be divided into grades one to nine. The seventh-grade spirit root is the foundation.
It is the top spiritual root of Qi State. Legend has it that only the founding king of Qi State hundreds of years ago had an eighth-grade spiritual root. With his proud talent, he finally became a superpower and established the Qi State. In addition, the seventh-grade spiritual root is the strongest in Qi State.
!
Spiritual roots have attributes. The most common ones are the five-element spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There are also rare spiritual roots with thunder attributes, dark attributes, etc., which are generally much stronger than the five-element spiritual roots.
Therefore, when the seventh-grade Lei Linggen appeared, it immediately alarmed the senior officials of Wucheng Academy.
Originally, the people who were in charge of the test were just some veteran students. There were no high-level officials from the college in the huge square. They were all sitting in front of the grand main entrance of the college, looking a bit like watching the storm. One of them had white hair and beard, and he was immediately attracted by it.
Although he is old, his face is rosy and he does not look old at all. This person is Zhao Chen, one of the two vice-presidents of Wucheng College, a top powerhouse who is well-known throughout the Qi Kingdom.
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've met the vice president."
Zhao Chen waved his hand. He usually didn't care about these red tapes, not to mention that his thoughts were all on the young man in front of him. His eyes seemed to be shining, as if he wanted to eat the young man alive.
"May I have 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 and then asked, "Are you willing to become my disciple?"
As soon as Zhao Chen said this, the senior college officials who came behind him were slightly surprised and understood. One of them, an old woman who was second only to Zhao Chen in terms of standing, smiled kindly and said: "Baili boy, if you don't agree quickly, Zhao Chen
Vice President Chen is a sixth-grade thunder spirit root and a strong person in the celestial realm."
Celestial Phenomenon Realm! Zhou Xing's breath was stagnant. He was still the weakest in the Mortal Martial Realm, and he was still far away from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!
"Student has seen Master Zhao." Zhou Xing immediately bowed to Master Zhao.
"Hahaha... Okay, just come with me, I'll 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."
Elder Yu 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 of different levels in the college. Those who performed well would be favored by the college's senior officials, but there were exceptions, such as geniuses like Zhou Xing, and some elders of the college.
Even the vice-president Zhao Chen took his favorite students under his tutelage and taught them carefully after testing their spiritual roots.
Zhao Chen led Zhou Xing towards the academy, introducing the situation of Wucheng Academy along the way.
There are martial arts pavilion, kung fu pavilion, treasure pavilion, competition field, training tower and other areas in the academy. Behind the academy is connected to a branch of the Kongsang Mountains called Shengxi Mountain. Legend has it that a super strong man once showed his presence here.
The higher-ups of the academy live at the foot of Shengxi Mountain. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth there is richer than other places. The training tower is also built according to Shengxi Mountain.
The college has a dean and two vice-presidents. The dean is named Qi Sheng. He has always seen the beginning and end of the dragon, let alone the students. Even the senior officials of other colleges have hardly seen him. Except for Zhao Chen, the vice-president
, and one named Nie Qi.
Under the vice-president are the academy elders and tutors at four levels: purple gold, gold, silver and bronze.
Arriving at Zhao Chen's courtyard, Zhao Chen first carefully inspected Zhou Xing, then made some preparations, and said seriously to the latter: "The most important thing in the mortal martial realm is to temper the body, but many warriors do not pay attention to this.
, just focusing on improving one’s realm and quickly forming elixirs to enter the spiritual martial realm will only ruin one’s own martial arts path. If there is no great opportunity in the later stage, one’s achievements will be greatly limited.
You are now at the sixth level of mortal martial arts. At this age, you can only cultivate to this point by yourself, which is enough to prove your extraordinary talent. However, your physical body is also weak. I will use medicinal baths to initially improve your physical body. Follow me."
Zhao Chen took Zhou Xing into the underground stone chamber. There was a purple-black pool in the stone chamber. There were bubbles popping on the water, which looked 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."
"good."
Zhou Xing did not dare to neglect at all, and stepped into the pool carefully. 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, a shrill scream came from
It came from the mouth and resounded throughout the stone chamber.
Zhou Xing gritted his teeth and jumped directly into the pool. His whole body was soaked in the water, leaving only one head above the water, and his originally angular face was distorted...
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 that you could insist on fully absorbing the power of the medicine. You are better than your senior sister."
Quite a few.”
Zhou Xing opened his eyes and saw the change in the pool water. The purple-black color that symbolized the power of the medicine turned into some black filthy substances, which were impurities discharged from his body.
He immediately got out of the pool, put on his clothes, and asked curiously: "Teacher, did you just say senior sister?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Zhao Chen stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "I have two disciples in total. Your senior sister was one I accepted five years ago, named Ye Qingshu, and I
It was also a sixth-grade Lei Linggen. She persisted in the medicinal bath for nearly an hour and absorbed three-quarters of the medicinal power. She was also stubborn and refused to give up. She finally passed out and it was Elder Yu who fished her out.
of.
She is really a practicing madman and stays in the training tower all day long. Now she is twenty-one years old and has reached the eighth level of spiritual martial arts, ranking in the top five on the academy's spiritual list."
Eighth level of Lingwu, top five on the Lingwu realm... Zhou Xing was secretly stunned. His senior sister was really amazing. He had heard from Zhao Chen that the Lingwu ranking was a ranking among the thousands of Lingwu realm students in the academy. He had to rely on challenges to win.
Those who came down, in addition to the Tian Ranking, are the rankings among the few Tian Martial Realm students in the academy.
"Don't feel pressured. With your talent, I'm afraid you can 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, a third-level martial skill.
It can greatly improve your physical body. Although you are at the third level, your cultivation threshold is extremely high. Next, I will take you to the cultivation tower."
The cultivation tower is located in a mountain stream. The tower is more than a hundred meters tall, but only a black spire can be seen from the outside. 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've seen the vice president, this is..."
"This is my new student Zhou Xing-Wuji, and this is Elder Wang Yeping."
"I've met Elder Wang." Zhou Xing quickly saluted.
"Mr. Wang, open a second-floor spiritual pressure training room for him, just for three hours." Zhao Chen said after thinking for a while.
The training tower has a total of twelve floors. The higher the level of the training room, 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. Which training room does he want?
No problem, but he can't break the rules. The unspoken rule in the academy is that students under these high-level students can enjoy free admission for the first time.
The training room is also divided into two types: normal 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 push 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 was heavy.
Zhao Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Although it is only the spiritual pressure of the second level, it is very rare for you to be able to move freely for the first time.
Now I will demonstrate Dacheng's Golden Body Technique for you, watch it!"
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. His fists danced. The speed was not fast, even a little slow, but there was a faint sound of breaking through the air.
The last step caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to linger. Finally, Zhao Chen punched forward, and a "boom" was heard from ten meters away, and the 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."
Zhou Xing had already read the records of the Golden Body Technique before coming here. With his powerful memory and almost photographic memory, he was already familiar with the training methods of this martial art. Now that Zhao Chen was demonstrating it live, Zhou Xing wanted to get started.
There is almost no difficulty.
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 glow 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 turned out that Zhao Chen was always paying attention to Zhou Xing's situation, and observed that practicing the Golden Body Technique affected the spiritual power in the latter's body, and that 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 the breakthrough. He had never made such a big leap in his realm before. Coupled with the previous improvement in the medicinal bath, it can be said that he was in a short period of time.
In just a few hours, a transformation was completed.
"Go out. If you occupy the training room when the time is up, others will be in trouble," Zhao Chen said. "At this point, today's enrollment should have come to an end. I have a hunch that there will be many good seedlings this year. In a month's time,
It’s the freshman competition, so you can’t slack off.”
"Follow the teacher's instructions."
Back at Zhao Chen's residence, Zhou Xing got several sets 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 was 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 home.
The Qiankun Bag contains a small space that can be loaded with items, which is more than enough for Zhou Xing to use. The more advanced ones are extremely precious space rings. Just one of them is worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, even for Zhao Chen
It cannot be taken out easily.
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, he was still wearing college uniforms.
Even though he was dressed in attire, he could still be recognized at a glance as Zhao Chen's new disciple.
