A man in black wearing a cloak walked out from behind the rockery and let out a hoarse laugh: "The master of the hospital is really powerful. Did you deliberately use Zhang Ruochen to lure us out?"
The head of the West Courtyard said: "It's a pity that we didn't lead everyone out, but if we capture a big fish like you, the other little shrimps won't have anything to fear."
Now that he has been recognized, Elder Situ no longer hides his identity. He takes off the cloak on his head, revealing a thin and old face. There are two sharp rays of light in his deep-set eyes, staring closely at him.
The master of the west courtyard.
"Master, I haven't seen you take action for ten years. I wonder how far your cultivation has reached?" Elder Situ took out two red gun barrels from his robe, activated the inscriptions, and put the gun barrels together.
, forming an eight-foot-long blood-dropping gun.
The gun was as red as blood.
The spear was waved like a waterfall of blood pouring down.
Flame-like Qi surged out from Elder Situ's palm, completely wrapping the spear.
A hot temperature spread from the gun body, causing the temperature in the surrounding air to rise sharply.
Just when everyone thought that Elder Situ was going to fight to the death with the master of the West Courtyard, suddenly, Elder Situ's eyes sharpened, he stared at Zhang Ruochen, and slapped the tail of the spear with the palm of his left hand.
"call out!"
The eight-foot-long blood-dropping gun was like a flaming arrow leaving its string, making a harsh sound as it flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
There was a crackling sound in the air.
At the same time, Elder Situ took a step to the right, stood on tiptoes, and flew up like a big bird. In an instant, he flew dozens of meters away, jumped over the wall of Longwu Palace, and headed towards the distance.
Escape.
He knew that he was definitely no match for the Master of the West Courtyard, so he could only attack Zhang Ruochen. As long as the Master of the West Courtyard rescued Zhang Ruochen, he would have a chance to escape.
Staring at the blood-dropping gun flying over, Zhang Ruochen quickly stepped back.
Just when the flaming spear flew in front of Zhang Ruochen, the master of the West Courtyard grabbed the barrel of the spear, waved his arm, and the spear flew out at a faster speed.
"Boom!"
The blood-dropping gun crashed through the wall of Longwu Palace and flew out like a fire dragon.
Outside, there was a scream.
The wall of Longwu Hall was seven meters high and one meter thick, and was made of bricks and stones. At this moment, a large hole with a diameter of two meters was opened by the flame spear, and the thick wall was crumbling.
Looking through the hole, Elder Situ was pierced by a spear and fell into a pool of blood.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the master of the West Courtyard and thought to himself, what a powerful martial arts practitioner, he killed Elder Situ with just one move without even using his true power.
The head of the West Courtyard looked at the purple-black poison mark on Zhang Ruochen's neck, took out a medicine bottle, and said: "You were poisoned by the strange poison 'Yellow Spring Water' from the Underworld Gate. Fortunately, it was only a trace amount of venom, which is not fatal. Medicine bottle
This is a specially made detoxifying pill, please take it now."
Zhang Ruochen took out the detoxification pill from the medicine bottle and took it into his mouth. As expected, the purple-black poison mark on his neck slowly dispersed and soon disappeared completely.
The head of the West Academy stared at Zhang Ruochen, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I heard Yue Jingchan mention that your spiritual power has reached the twenty-ninth level, making you the number one spiritual genius in the history of Wushi Academy. Haha! Good boy,
You have made the master of this academy gain enough face. Next time I go to the inner palace of Wu City Academy, I must show off more in front of those old guys."
After a pause, the face of the master of the West Courtyard became serious and said: "There is one more thing. I must ask you carefully, do you want to take the path of a spiritual saint?"
Zhang Ruochen said without any hesitation: "No, I will not give up martial arts."
The head of the West Academy stared into Zhang Ruochen's eyes and said: "Zhang Ruochen, do you know how talented you are in terms of mental power? Even in the entire history of the human race in the Kunlun realm, you are probably ranked in the top ten. With your talent
With your talent and the vigorous cultivation of Wu City Academy, you have at least a 50% chance of becoming a saint of spiritual power."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Master, there is no need to persuade me, there is absolutely no way I will give up martial arts."
The dean of the West Academy said: "Okay! In fact, your talent in martial arts is also very high, and your future achievements will definitely be high. The deputy dean of Qinghua promises to help you apply for ten drops of semi-holy essence, which should be done within three days.
You can apply for it.”
"If you have any doubts about martial arts, you can always come and ask me. There are still two months until the quarterly assessment. You must practice hard and strive to win the first place in the competition among the freshmen of the fourth house and win glory for our West House."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Students must do their best."
The master of the West Courtyard stared at Elder Situ's body, thought for a while, and said: "Elder Situ is dead, but there must be killers from other underworld sects lurking in the West Courtyard, and their cultivation levels should not be too strong. Duanmu girl,
In the next two months, it will be up to you to protect his safety. Are you okay?"
"Of course it's no problem, Master, just don't worry." Duanmu Xingling said with a smile.
The master of the West Courtyard nodded, and then he ordered people to clean up the bodies of the three Hell Gate killers and hang them on a nine-foot-high bloody wall in the West Courtyard.
After all lurkers from the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult are killed, they will all be hung on the blood wall for three days to warn other lurkers.
"That's Senior Sister Hua Lian. I didn't expect that she was actually the killer of the Underworld Sect. She also taught me how to practice archery."
"Elder Situ has been in the West Academy for decades, and he turned out to be an evil person in the black market. Fortunately, he was killed by the owner of the academy, otherwise I don't know how many talented students would have been assassinated by him."
…
The three killers were suppressed and killed, causing a huge sensation in the West Campus. Many students came to the blood wall to watch the excitement.
Zi Qian stood in the crowd, staring at the three corpses on the blood wall, feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart. In the future, she might also be killed and hung on that blood wall.
If you choose to be a killer, you should be mentally prepared to be killed.
Not only Zi Qian, but also two other students in the crowd also had strange expressions in their eyes and quietly retreated.
Longwu Palace.
Duanmu Xingling clasped his hands on his chest and said with a smile: "The killer lurking in the west courtyard of the Underworld Gate has suffered heavy losses. Even Elder Situ was killed. It is estimated that no one will dare to assassinate you in a short time."
Zhang Ruochen stared at the rubble on the ground and the collapsed walls, and said: "Xuanzi No. 1 has also turned into ruins. It is estimated that it will take a month to rebuild. Where will we live in the future?"
Duanmu Xingling stopped, touched his chin, and said with a smile, "Let's go to Sister Chen's place."
"You just had a big fight with her and it was so tense. Why would she let you live in No. 1?" Zhang Ruochen said.
"Don't worry! Since Sister Chen and I have already fought, most of her anger should have disappeared. Let's go! Believe me, Sister Chen will definitely accept us." Duanmu Xingling said.
When they arrived at No. 1, the door was open, and Duanmu Xingling and Zhang Ruochen walked straight in.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped.
With a "whoosh" sound, a sapphire blue sword flew out of the window and flew close to the tip of Zhang Ruochen's nose.
Huang Yanchen walked out of the house, stood proudly above, stared at Duanmu Xingling and Zhang Ruochen, and said coldly: "What are you doing here at No. 1? If you don't want to die, get out immediately."
Duanmu Xingling laughed, flew over, hugged Huang Yanchen's arm, and said pitifully: "Now that Huang Zi No. 1 and Xuan Zi No. 1 have been destroyed, you
Where should we go? Sister Chen, you see how pitiful we are, just take us in! Please! Please!"
Zhang Ruochen stood below and said calmly: "If Senior Sister Huang is still angry, then I will go to Fourth Brother's place and live with him. Farewell!"
"Who says I'm still angry? When have I ever been angry?"
The coldness on Huang Yanchen's face melted, and he smiled with bright eyes and white teeth: "Since you have come to seek refuge with me, as a senior sister, how can I not take you in? Come in with me!"
Huang Yanchen stretched his arm forward, and his true energy breathed out from his palm, turning into twisted wind force.
Driven by that strong wind, the blue sword that was originally inserted into the stone wall beside Zhang Ruochen flew back into her hand with a swishing sound.
"Fetching objects from the air." Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Huang Yanchen a little more highly.
With her exquisite control of Qi, it shouldn't take long for her to reach the advanced level of Sword Suixin.
"From now on, Xingling will live with me on the second floor, and you will live in the lobby downstairs. Without my permission, you can't step onto the second floor. Do you have any objections?" Huang Yanchen stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, eyelashes
He tilted his head slightly and stared at Zhang Ruochen leisurely.
The lobby downstairs is very spacious. It is not just a room, but also a study room, a piano room, and a martial arts training hall. Outside the piano room is the bath. There is a row of maple trees beside the bath, and the environment is very elegant.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Okay! From now on, I will live in the martial arts hall and will never disturb the two senior sisters."
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen took Xiao Hei into the martial arts training hall.
The martial arts training hall is very vast, eight meters long and six meters wide. Except for the entrance, it is surrounded by stone walls. Moreover, the stone walls are also engraved with formation inscriptions to protect the stone walls and prevent them from being penetrated by sword energy.
"Zhang Ruochen, I'm going to the study to read!" After saying this, Xiao Hei left the martial arts hall with a whoosh.
In the next three days, Zhang Ruochen practiced Tianxin Sword Technique in the martial arts hall during the day. After nightfall, he entered the inner space of the space-time crystal, took pills, and cultivated his true energy.
He has a large number of elixirs on his body, all of which were collected from the candidates during the first round of the Academy Examination.
There are not only elixirs for increasing true energy, but also elixirs for increasing strength, healing elixirs, detoxifying elixirs, and elixirs for increasing blood energy. There are more than three hundred bottles in total.
Zhang Ruochen made a rough calculation and found that so many pills were enough to support his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm.
Three days later, the Vice President of Qinghua sent ten drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid to Di Zi No. 1 and handed it over to Zhang Ruochen.
After getting ten drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid, Zhang Ruochen couldn't wait to refine it.
"Xiao Hei, help me protect the law. If Senior Sister Huang and Senior Sister Duanmu come to me, tell them that I am practicing in seclusion."
Zhang Ruochen said hello to Xiao Hei, then entered the inner space of the space-time crystal, took out the first drop of Semi-Saint True Liquid, took it directly into his mouth, and started refining it.
In the space-time crystal, Zhang Ruochen spent eight days refining two drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid, and successfully broke through to the small extreme level of Xuanji Realm.
