Chapter 49: Xianyu challenges the leader of Zhenwu
Inner courtyard·Zhenwu Building.
In a quiet room.
Xianyu, the third princess of Xirong, sat on her knees on a futon. Opposite her, a middle-aged man wearing a gray-brown gauze sat.
The man has a dignified appearance, with a three-inch beard under his chin, a pair of red phoenix eyes, and long, narrow eyebrows that are slightly curled, giving him an air of immortality.
This person is none other than Jiang Daozong, the dean of the Zhenwu Academy and a first-grade grandmaster.
There are strong and weak levels of first-grade Grandmasters. If you break through within thirty years of age, as long as you don't fall, there will be almost no problem with transcendence.
Those who advance to the first level within the age of thirty to forty have a very high chance of being extraordinary, at least half the chance.
As you go up ten years old, the decrease will be tenfold, and if you advance to the next level at sixty, your Qi and blood will have already been severely depleted.
Unless you have natural resources and treasures, you are basically at the top.
Jiang Daozong was a martial arts prodigy when he was young, but due to his background, he only started practicing martial arts at the age of sixteen. However, he still broke through to become a first-class grandmaster at the age of thirty. Now more than ten years have passed.
With his talent and understanding, although he is not extraordinary, it is very likely that he has already reached the level of a first-class grand master.
If there are any people in the world who are suddenly extraordinary, Jiang Daozong is definitely one of them.
For such a person who is bound to embark on a transcendent path, even a genius like the Third Princess Xianyu would not dare to be too presumptuous.
Besides, she still had something to ask for when she came today.
"Xianyu, please think carefully. I only give you the redemption privilege once. Do you want to use it?" Jiang Daozong's voice was slightly displeased, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the rashness of the third princess Xianyu.
"Master Jiang, Xianyu has thought clearly and will use my only privilege in exchange for the 'Fuyao' movement technique." Xianyu said with certainty.
"'Fuyao' is the top movement technique of Zhenwu Academy. It cannot be redeemed by non-true disciples of Zhenwu Academy or disciples above elders. I want to give you a chance for Leng Yue's sake. 'Fuyao' movement technique can be given to you, but you cannot take it with you."
After you leave the Zhenwu Academy, I will give you three hours to remember as much as you can, do you understand?"
"I understand, but Master Jiang, after I memorize the 'Fuyao' movement technique, can I pass it on to others?"
"No one is allowed to spread the word except your children."
"this……"
"Xianyu, this is the bottom line. If you don't agree, then let this matter go." Jiang Daozong said without any concession.
"Master Jiang, Xianyu has one more request." The third princess of Xianyu knew that if she persisted she might regret it, so she might as well change the subject.
"Tell me, from now on, I hope you won't come again." Jiang Daozong said coldly.
"I want to challenge the leader of the Zhenwu Academy."
"What?" Jiang Daozong showed a hint of surprise. He could see that the third princess was excellent in martial arts, but actual combat power and martial arts cultivation cannot be equated. "You realized it on the Zhenwu Monument.
What?"
"No, I didn't realize any martial arts from the Zhenwu Monument, and I even almost went crazy."
Jiang Daozong frowned slightly.
He was an elder and could not forcefully check the situation in Xianyu's body, but his intuition told him that the third princess Xianyu was not telling the truth.
"If Master Jiang doesn't agree, I will openly challenge him." Xianyu gave in at all and pressed forward. Although the elder's affairs had little to do with her, she was not happy when Jiang Daozong lost to Leng Yue.
"Okay." Jiang Daozong closed his eyes and considered it for a moment, then slowly said.
"Then please ask Master Jiang to inform Lu Xisheng that Zhenzhang will be seen on the Zhenwu platform in the inner courtyard in the afternoon."
"Okay." Jiang Daozong nodded in agreement.
"Old Kun!"
"Sir." An old man in his seventies appeared in the quiet room.
"Go and inform Lu Xisheng's true successor, return to the inner courtyard as quickly as possible, and accept the challenge from Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of Xirong. All the true successors in the courtyard will go and watch the battle!" Jiang Daozong ordered.
"Yes, young master." Jiang Kun agreed, then turned around and left.
"Xianyu, if you can defeat the first disciple of my Zhenwu Academy, we will make an exception and let you comprehend the Zhenwu Monument again!" Jiang Daozong rewarded you generously.
"Is what Master Jiang said true?"
"When will we break our word?" Jiang Daozong said proudly. For outsiders, understanding the Zhenwu Monument is a rare opportunity, but for him, he can sit in front of the Zhenwu Monument and practice every day.
Some people may not be able to comprehend anything even if you give them the opportunity to sit in front of the Zhenwu Monument for a hundred years.
And some people can understand a peerless martial arts even if they are given just a stick of incense. This is the method of fate.
The third princess of Xirong, Xianyu, challenges the first place in the Zhenwu Academy!
As soon as the news came to the inner courtyard, it was like a level 12 storm, spreading quickly throughout the entire inner courtyard.
In particular, the president of Jiangdao Sect personally ordered Lu Xisheng to take the lead in the battle, and also asked all the true disciples in the school to go to the Zhenwu Platform to watch the battle!
The ratio of inner courtyard students to true disciples is about ten to one. Zhenwu Academy currently has almost a thousand inner courtyard students, and there are about a hundred true disciples.
In fact, there are only about 70 or 80 true disciples and direct disciples of Zhenwu Academy.
The inner and outer courtyards of Zhenwu Academy are not isolated. In fact, students from the outer courtyard can enter the inner courtyard, but students from the outer courtyard are treated differently from students from the inner courtyard.
However, outsiders can stay in the outer courtyard with conditions, but not in the inner courtyard. Without student status or permission, they cannot enter at all.
News spread from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard very quickly, and there was no place where news spread faster and richer than in the food hall of Zhenwuyuan.
Luo Xing took Hong Ying to the restaurant of Zhenwuyuan for dinner. In addition to the cheap and good food in the restaurant of Zhenwuyuan, he also planned to find out various information.
This kind of place where students gather is also where news gathers, and a lot of news spreads out inadvertently.
When Luo Xing and Hongying came, there were not many people, and the occupancy rate was less than 30% to 40%. They found a table by the window, and they didn’t order many dishes. There were six dishes in total, all from Zhenwuyuan.
Specialties of the restaurant.
They are mainly meat and vegetables from ferocious beasts.
The quantity is large and the price is affordable but not expensive. These are benefits only available to Zhenwu students. Outsiders can also come over to eat, and the price is 30% higher.
Like to eat or not.
The price is clearly marked, so no one can be deceived.
Hongying, who had just won money, naturally didn't care about the few taels of silver. After finally coming here, he naturally wanted to try it.
It seems a little weird to be carrying the third princess Xianyu on my back.
In particular, they are also a boy and a girl, and Hongying is very beautiful. The two of them are sitting together eating, looking very much like a couple in love.
"Have you heard that the third princess of Xirong wants to challenge the first seat of our Zhenwu Academy, this afternoon, the Zhenwu Terrace in the inner courtyard!"
"It's true, it's false. I haven't heard of the third princess of Xirong coming to Luojing?"
"She is a princess, why shouldn't she spread the word widely when she comes to Luojing?"
"What do these three princesses look like? I have seen those Xirong people. They are all vulgar and smelly. The girls in Changlefang are not willing to receive them. They are also very rude..."
"Luo Xiaoqi, come with me quickly..." News came to his ears that Hongying had not even eaten, so he was about to pull Luo Xing away.
"It's time to eat, where are you going?"
"Didn't you hear that they said that the third princess challenged the leader of the Zhenwu Academy? Why don't we go find His Highness quickly?" Hong Ying said anxiously.
"What are you going to do to find His Highness, persuade her to give up the challenge, or do you go up and fight for her?" Luo Xing asked, "Don't say we can't get into the inner courtyard, even if we can get in, the inner courtyard is so big, do you know where Your Highness is?
"
"I don't know, shouldn't I ask?"
"Smart, yes, you can ask someone, I still have the same question, can you and I change the decision of the Third Princess?"
Hongying thought for a moment and shook his head: "No."
"Oh, it's over now." Luo Xing hurriedly pushed Hong Ying back to his seat and said, "This competition won't start right away. We have to give both sides some time to prepare. At least it's dinner time.
Let's fight after dinner, don't worry, we will see His Highness before the competition."
"Did you know the identity of the third princess?"
"I don't know." Luo Xing shook his head and said, "I only know that she is a girl like you. I really don't know the rest."
"Then why were you not surprised at all when you heard me mention Her Highness the Third Princess just now?" Hong Ying asked again.
"Both Vice Ambassador Shang and Master Alehai have great respect for the Young Master, which shows that his status is extraordinary. It would not be surprising at all if she is the princess of Xirong." Luo Xing explained.
"Luo Xiaoqi, tell me, who are you and why do you want to enter the Xirong Envoy Court?" Hong Ying's eyes sharpened and he asked seriously.
"A man who strives for freedom."
"Freedom, don't you have freedom?"
"What about you, Miss Hongying, are you free?" Luo Xing asked.
"I……"
"Let's eat. The food has already been served. The sky is huge and the food is the biggest." Luo Xing chuckled. He saw the waiter from the restaurant coming over with their food.
The ferocious beast meat in the Zhenwuyuan dining room is really delicious. Luo Xing has seen and eaten it. The level of the cooks here is really high. It is said that the chefs in the Zhenwuyuan are all warriors, and each of them has a high level of cultivation.
Not low.
Someone once caused trouble in the cafeteria outside the Zhenwu Academy. Before the students of the Zhenwu Academy could take action, the cook who was cooking rushed out with a spoon and beat the troublemaker. From then on, no one dared to do it again.
Something happened in Zhenwuyuan's cafeteria.
Later I found out that the head chef of Zhenwuyuan's dining room was an elder of Zhenwuyuan and a second-grade martial arts sect.
Zhenwuyuan Restaurant is also one of the few restaurants in Luojing City that can handle third-level or above vicious beasts.
Level 3 or above ferocious beasts cannot just be stewed in an iron pot. Some of them are highly poisonous and require special treatment.
It is even more difficult to make it delicious and suitable for ordinary warriors to eat.
