"Then how many people are there on the bronze list?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Fifty-six people, excluding Qilin Courtyard, there are a total of fifty-six geniuses from the four courtyards who have been on the bronze list." Feng Wu said.
"Only fifty-six people?"
Lu Ming whispered.
The Xuanyuan Sword Sect recruits a group of disciples every year. As long as they are under thirty years old, they are considered to be disciples. After so many years, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect has more than 50,000 bronze-level disciples.
There are more than 50,000 people, and only fifty-six geniuses on the bronze list are selected from a hundred.
You must know that those who can join the Xuanyuan Sword Sect have gone through numerous assessments, which already represent talent, and they have been selected from a hundred.
This shows how talented the geniuses on the bronze list are.
"Yao Tianyu, where do you rank?"
Lu Ming asked again.
"Fifty-one."
Feng Wu's eyes flashed, and she looked at Lu Ming carefully and said: "You don't really want to challenge Yao Tianyu, do you? Let me tell you, Yao Tianyu's talent is terrible. He joined the Xuanyuan Sword Sect two years ago.
, I heard that during the rookie trial, he was still a strong contender for the rookie king. Although he failed, his talent should not be underestimated!"
"Although he is ranked fifty-one, his strength has improved very quickly, and I believe he will continue to rise. Lu Ming, in another year, you will have no problem defeating him, but this year, it is still too early."
"Feng Wu, you don't believe me so much, how about we make a bet? Bet on whether I can defeat Yao Tianyu within four months."
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
"Oh? What are you betting on?"
Feng Wudao.
"What are you betting on? Let me think about it!"
Lu Ming touched his chin, and then a pair of eyes began to wander around Feng Wu's body, from upstream to down, and then from downstream to up.
From time to time, sighs like "tsk tsk" came out of his mouth.
Feng Wu's pretty face suddenly turned red, she glared at Lu Ming, and shouted sweetly: "Lu Ming, you... you are shameless, don't even think about it!"
"Feng Wu, why are you scolding me? Are you thinking wrong? I just want to bet on a big meal to see if you have that much money. You see, your thoughts are not pure, right?"
Lu Ming said with a surprised look.
"you..."
Feng Wu's face turned even redder, reaching the roots of her ears. She glared at Lu Ming fiercely and said fiercely, "Okay, I'll bet. If I don't kill you hard then, I won't call you Feng Wu."
After saying that, he threw a jar of medicinal wine heavily to Lu Ming, and then walked away angrily.
"Hahaha!"
Lu Ming laughed, occasionally teasing the beautiful Fengwu beauty, is it quite interesting?
After opening the wine jar and taking a few sips, Lu Ming began to think about the next path of cultivation.
"It's too slow to practice the basic spear art like this. If this continues, we still don't know when we can practice the Ganghuo Spear Art. We must use external forces to speed up the practice of the basic spear art."
If you want to be on the bronze list, you must master Xuan level martial arts.
"Yes!"
Lu Ming was thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Immediately, he drank up all the medicinal wine from the jar.
It's a really good wine, but it tastes like medicine and lacks a lot of flavor.
Lu Ming clicked his tongue and walked out.
The first place he went to was the Consecration Hall.
The two million taels of silver were exchanged for contribution points, resulting in a total of 20,000 contribution points.
He only had a few hundred thousand taels of silver left on him.
Including the previous contribution points, there are a total of 25,500 contribution points.
Then start exchanging monster essence blood.
What he wants to exchange now is the essence and blood of the second-level eighth-level monster.
A portion of the second-level eighth-level monster essence blood can contribute up to 800 points.
Lu Ming redeemed 20 copies and got 16,000 contribution points.
It was so expensive that Lu Ming's heart twitched violently.
He originally wanted to redeem some second-level ninth-level demonic beast essence blood, but the second-level ninth-level demonic beast essence blood required 1,600 contribution points.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and could only give up temporarily.
After exchanging the demonic beast essence and blood, Lu Ming left the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and headed east.
The layout of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect is rather strange. The four courtyards occupy the four most majestic peaks in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
The middle part is a wider area.
In this area, there is not only the Qilin Courtyard, but also the Mission Hall, the Contribution Hall, the Bronze Platform and other most important places of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
Further north of the Xuanwu Academy, there is the core of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, because the head of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, the golden-robed elders, gold-level disciples, and some silver-robed elders are all here.
Regional training.
It is the core place of power of Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
To the east of Qinglongyuan, there is a vast mountain range connected to it.
This mountain range, called the Coastal Mountains, is vast and endless, and there are endless monsters living in it.
It is said that beyond the coastal mountains, there is an endless sea. It can be said that the Lie Sun Empire is in the easternmost part of the entire Shenhuang Continent.
Lu Ming wanted to go to the coastal mountains to find a favorable position to practice his marksmanship.
It is impossible for Lu Ming to go deep into the coastal mountains, only on the periphery.
Two days later, Lu Ming went about two hundred miles deep.
Rumble!
A waterfall rumbled, and the water fell from a height of more than a thousand meters, creating a huge impact that shook the area hundreds of meters away.
"This is it. I will use this waterfall to practice."
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
Then, Lu Ming took out his fire pattern gun and slowly walked towards the waterfall from the side.
The silver water column fell from an altitude of more than a thousand meters, and the sound was extremely terrifying. The closer you got, the more majestic power you could feel.
"To practice spear-handling, you must first practice spear-handling. Once the spear-handling is stable, you will be able to master other basic spear techniques."
Then, Lu Ming grabbed the tail of the gun with one hand, straightened his hand, and stretched the gun body into the waterfall.
The moment the gun body was washed away by the water from the waterfall, Lu Ming felt an extremely strong pressure pressing on the gun body. He bent his wrist and threw the gun directly downwards.
His true energy exploded, and he pulled back the spear with a strong thrust.
"It's so powerful, it's not stable at all, but this is also a good place to practice, keep going!"
Lu Ming's eyes were bright and unwavering.
Continue to extend the spear, and the true energy is continuously input into the spear.
This time, after holding on for two more breaths, the spear was thrown downward by the waterfall again.
"continue!"
"continue!"
...
Lu Ming was not discouraged and practiced over and over again.
Lu Ming discovered that practicing Duan Qiang in this way consumed the true energy horribly. Every time he practiced for a period of time, Lu Ming had to go aside and use the Dragon Fighting Art to restore his true energy.
Of course, this also has benefits. Every time you squeeze out the true energy and replenish it through practice, the true energy will be more condensed and the foundation will be more solid.
During this period, Lu Ming would occasionally consume and refine a portion of monster blood essence, and his cultivation level was rapidly improving.
Seven days later, Lu Ming was able to hold the spear in the waterfall for more than ten minutes, but it was very unstable and the spear was dangling in the water of the waterfall.
But, this is already a big progress.
For another seven days, the spear was in the waterfall, and the bottom was stable. No matter how the water of the waterfall hit it, the spear did not move at all.
