As soon as Lin Shen walked out of his house, he saw a black car parked on the side of the road. Yang Zhongyi leaned on the car door and waved to him with a smile.
"Where's Su Nian?"
Lin Shen said hello and looked around, but did not see Su Nian.
As soon as he finished speaking, the back seat window rolled down, revealing Su Nian's face.
"I'm here."
"Everyone is here, let's go. There's still one hour until the meeting time, so don't be late."
Yang Zhongyi greeted Lin Shen to get in the car.
After a while, the vehicle started slowly and drove smoothly towards the central area.
In the car, Yang Zhongyi asked Lin Shen and Su Nian:
"How are you preparing? Once we arrive at the college, we will be 'guided' by the old students."
"It's only been a month, what can we prepare for?" Su Nian shook his head slightly.
This is not unreasonable. In just one month, neither cultivation nor martial arts is enough to break through. There is really nothing to prepare for.
"It doesn't matter. At worst, I'll go digging in the Ling Mine for three days, and I'll just try to keep my body strong!" Yang Zhongyi smiled and patted Su Nian on the shoulder.
Su Nian hummed, then glanced at Lin Shen again.
Yang Zhongyi understood what he meant, turned to Lin Shen and said:
"Old Lin, if you don't just say later that you were injured while practicing martial arts and can't fight, with so many pairs of eyes watching, no matter what, those guys won't dare to blatantly force you to fight!"
Lin Shen shook his head slightly: "This reason is too lame, they won't believe it."
"Furthermore, what if someone wants to treat my injury? Wouldn't it be easy to find out as soon as I check, and then my wish will be fulfilled?"
Those old students originally wanted to make Lin Shen embarrassed in the coaching battle. If it was revealed that he pretended to be injured to avoid the battle, Lin Shen would also be embarrassed.
Yang Zhongyi also knew that this reason was a bit flawed, and he had a look of helplessness on his face.
"That's better than getting hurt!"
"If someone is cruel and makes you spend several months recovering from your injuries, then your cultivation progress will be greatly reduced!"
In a place like the Taoist Academy, where competition is extremely fierce, if you can't make any progress in a few months, you don't need to think about it to know that the consequences will be very serious.
With Lin Shen's strength and talent, although he will not be eliminated, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase greatly if he wants to upgrade his level.
However, Lin Shen didn't take it seriously at all and said with a calm smile:
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
Seeing this, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
While they were talking, the vehicle had already left the East District and entered the Central District.
Speaking of which, this was Lin Shen's first time entering the central area.
Unlike the other four major urban areas, the central area is the only area in Linlong City that requires a permit to enter.
Non-residents of the central area, or persons without permission, are prohibited from entering the central area.
If he hadn't been admitted to Jiuyang Taoist Academy, ordinary students like Lin Shen might never have the chance to enter the central area.
The respective mountain gates, three sect mansions, and affiliated Taoist temples of the Jiuyang Sect, Jingtao Sect, and Qingshuang Sect are all located in the central area.
Lin Shen originally thought that the central area would be a steel forest full of high-rise buildings, but when he actually arrived at the central area, what he saw was completely different from what he expected.
Not to mention high-rise buildings, it is difficult to even see a building with more than ten floors.
If Lin Shen hadn't made sure he was on the right track, he almost thought he was in another East District.
Another thing that surprised him was that the traffic here was very sparse, much less than in other urban areas.
In the middle of the spacious road, there are all kinds of riding animals running back and forth.
The green-headed golden-eyed beast, the Tianluo horse, the red Suan Ni, and the Zhaoye leopard
All monsters!
There are many monsters at the Long Breath Realm level among them!
Practitioners swaggeringly rode monster beasts through the streets. This kind of scene would never be seen in the other four cities.
Lin Shen thought for a moment that he had arrived in another city.
Yang Zhongyi had obviously been to the central area many times and was already familiar with the situation here. Seeing Lin Shen's surprised expression, he smiled and explained:
"Monster beasts are allowed to pass through the central area, as long as the rider has a cultivation level of Long Breath Realm or above and reports to the three sects in advance."
Just as he was talking, a burst of whistling sound suddenly came from the sky, from far to near.
Lin Shen and the others quickly looked out of the car window and saw a dazzling sword light streaking across the sky and quickly disappearing at the end of the sky.
"It's Sword Escape!"
Yang Zhongyi showed an envious look.
"Only monks are allowed to fly in the central area. That person must be a sword cultivator!"
Su Nianqi said: "How do you know it's a sword cultivator? Maybe it's other cultivators?"
"Impossible!" Yang Zhongyi denied without thinking, "All monks can practice the escape method, but only sword cultivators can use sword escape!"
Lin Shen fixedly looked at the direction where the sword light disappeared, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"A monk?"
One day, he will also fly over the central area!
More than twenty minutes later.
The vehicle slowly stopped.
Lin Shen got out of the car and took a look, and couldn't help but be startled.
What comes into view is a large group of buildings, which looks like a park.
But when I looked inside through the open door, I could only see an empty space with only a few people. It didn't look like a Taoist temple at all.
"Let's go, Jiuyang Taoist Temple is not here."
Yang Zhongyi patted Lin Shen on the shoulder and took the lead to walk inside.
Lin Shen wanted to ask what we were doing here, but seeing Su Nian walking in with the same calm expression, he suppressed his doubts and stepped to follow.
Under the leadership of Yang Zhongyi, the three people quickly arrived at a building.
The building is bright and magnificent. The floor, ceiling and surrounding walls are all paved with some kind of jade. Although the specific material cannot be identified, it can be seen that it is of high value.
The surface of the jade is also engraved with countless dense lines, which are complex and mysterious, making people confused.
In addition, there are two stone sculptures of Haezhi placed near the door, one on the left and one on the left.
The moment Lin Shen and the other three stepped into the door, the two stone sculptures of Haechi suddenly turned their heads and cast their gazes over. There seemed to be a flash of light in their eyes.
The next second, the Haizhi stone sculpture on the right slowly spoke, with a low and solemn tone.
"Lin Shen, Yang Zhongyi, and Su Nian are all new students of Jiuyang Taoist Academy. Their identities have been verified correctly, and there are no traces of disguise. They are indeed the same person, and they are allowed to pass!"
The stone sculpture of Haechi on the left followed closely.
"Do you want to enter the Taoist temple?"
"Yes!" Yang Zhongyi responded quickly.
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Shen suddenly felt that his eyes were bright and his vision was so white that he could not see anything. He felt as if he was in a world filled with only pure white.
This sudden vision only lasted for three or four seconds, and then the white color quickly receded like a tide.
When his vision became clear again, Lin Shen was surprised to find that he was standing on a sunny field, and the air was filled with the unique fresh smell of vegetation.
Looking up again, in the distance you can see a complex of buildings built against the mountains, with different terrains, and composed entirely of wooden houses and wooden buildings!
