Chapter 33 Eating the Big Locust Tree

(The plot cannot be separated, the two chapters are combined into one, 5700 words, that’s all for today’s update.)

"your age?"

Zhang Yuxian looked at the first person, a short, stocky man. The people in the warrior preparation camp were basically strong and dark-skinned.

This man usually has a considerable status in the Lian clan. Even in the warrior preparation camp, he is also a good hand in terms of strength. He is honored to be the first to be examined by Zhang Yuxian and can't wait.

"Sir, I am twenty-six years old this year. I can lift a four-hundred-pound stone roller in one go. I am not bragging. I can lift such a heavy stone roller four or five times in one breath as if it were for fun. Sir, what do you want?

Don't come with me to take a look, there is a stone roller over there in the village, I will lift it up to show you!"

This man introduced himself with confidence, Zhang Yuxian ignored his boasting at all, and just calmly put his hand on the man's shoulder, slowly injecting vitality.

A person who has reached the level of "Opening the Third Eye" can see through a person's flesh, blood, meridians, and bones at a glance, thereby judging whether the person is suitable for martial arts training.

However, Zhang Yuxian cannot reach this level, so his method of selecting people is to inject a small amount of vitality into the opponent's body and see how well the opponent's body absorbs his own vitality.

If the absorption is good, the root bone will be good; if the absorption is poor, the root bone will be poor.

After a little exploration, Zhang Yuxian was speechless. The opponent could not absorb even 10% of the vitality he had just injected into the opponent's body, which was only 78%.

This kind of talent really cannot be seen.

"Do you think you can defeat the enemy by lifting a stone grinder?" Zhang Yuxian glanced at the big man, "You have extremely ordinary bones and are not suitable for martial arts training."

Zhang Yuxian's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, and the originally awesome and coaxing man was dumbfounded.

Not suitable for practicing martial arts? How could I not be suitable for practicing martial arts!

The big man felt unconvinced, but after touching Zhang Yuxian's cold gaze, he suddenly wilted again, like a defeated rooster.

When I was a child, I was stronger than my peers. When I grew up, I was able to lift more than 400 kilograms of stone rollers. I am not suitable for martial arts. Can I lift such a heavy stone roller?

The big man cursed in his heart that after practicing martial arts for so many years, Zhang Yuxian said that he was not suitable for martial arts training, which was equivalent to completely negating his previous efforts.

Of course, he just thought about it and did not have the courage to contradict Zhang Yuxian.

"You stand here first." Zhang Yuxian did not ask this man to pack up and go home immediately, but asked him to wait for a while.

Because Zhang Yuxian knows that when you come to the wilderness to select people, you must be mentally prepared. The people here have been growing up in an environment of scarcity of materials, and it is difficult to produce masters.

If a tribe continues to reproduce from generation to generation without masters, it will naturally be difficult for geniuses to appear.

However, Zhang Yuxian soon discovered that he still underestimated the barrenness of the wilderness. He also understood that there is no worst, only worse.

After checking along the way, I found that the big guy who was bragging about himself was pretty good, but the people behind him often only absorbed 67%, or even 45%, of energy.

It's simply too miserable to look at.

Zhang Yuxian had no choice but to lower the standards again and again, and finally decided that as long as the energy absorption rate is above 6%, he can stay.

"You... are pretty good."

Zhang Yuxian looked helplessly at the strong man and could only use the adjective "make do".

After his exploration along the way, the elimination rate reached 50%.

There are a total of more than 40 age-qualified members of the warrior reserve camp. Such an elimination method can only leave more than 20 people in the end, which is obviously not enough to meet the standard of 30 people.

"Master Zhang is so strict. Those military masters in the warrior reserve camp are so powerful that half of them were eliminated."

"It's a good thing we didn't go up, otherwise we would be embarrassed."

Some of the first-class men who were eager to try because they saw Yi Yun sign up were a little lucky.

With such an elimination method, it takes a lot of talent to pass.

And they could also see that in fact Zhang Yuxian was not satisfied with these people who passed, but there was really no one to choose from, so he had to choose the general from the shortest.

Realizing this, everyone admired Lian Chengyu even more.

Only Lian Chengyu received an "extremely good" rating.

"Yun'er..." Jiang Xiaorou wrung her little hands together and looked at Yi Yun worriedly. She knew that Yi Yun had been practicing martial arts secretly these days, but Jiang Xiaorou never thought that Yi Yun's strength could be improved to the level of a warrior.

The degree to which members of the reserve camp are on par with each other.

Zhang Yuxian couldn't even look down on those in the warrior preparation camp, so how could he choose Yi Yun.

Now Jiang Xiaorou is still standing in the square. Her position is very awkward. In front of everyone, her brother is still in the alternative team. It is not okay for Jiang Xiaorou to step back or continue to stand.

Yi Yun noticed Jiang Xiaorou's worried gaze, moved his mouth slightly, and said, "Sister Xiaorou, don't worry, I'll be fine."

After hearing Yi Yun's words, Zhao Tiezhu burst into laughter, "This is such a bullshit, any local dog I can find will be better than you. Even if Master Zhang chooses a dog to be his disciple, he won't choose you!"

In response to this sarcasm, Yi Yun just glanced at Zhao Tiezhu coldly and said calmly: "You should just care about yourself. As for me, you don't need to worry about me."

"Oh! Boy, you're still here, and you're talking to me like that! If you can be elected today, I will pull up the big locust tree at the head of the village and eat it with the roots and leaves."

Zhao Tiezhu burst out laughing as he spoke, and at this time, next to Zhao Tiezhu, there was a member of the warrior reserve battalion who also laughed and echoed: "Then I will also eat the big stone at the head of the village!"

"Haha, you guys are really funny, so I'll accompany you and drink all the water from the East River."

The people in the warrior preparation camp all started making noises.

Yi Yun glanced at these people helplessly, shrugged and said, "Whatever."

At this time, Zhang Yuxian had already found Zhao Tiezhu, and Zhao Tiezhu immediately stopped smiling and stood up straight.

Zhang Yuxian pressed on Zhao Tiezhu and said lightly: "Twenty-eight?"

Zhao Tiezhu said hurriedly: "My lord, I have a keen eye, and the young man's bone age is indeed already twenty-eight."

Zhang Yuxian frowned, obviously Zhao Tiezhu could not satisfy him, but the number of people who passed the check-in was too small, so he had to reluctantly say: "It's enough to meet the minimum standard, so let's just keep it to make up for it."

Now Zhang Yuxian feels more and more that holding the general election of the Kingdom of God in Yunhuang is really a thankless task.

Zhao Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fist vigorously, "Great! I passed!"

He was extremely excited, and at the same time he glanced at Yi Yun demonstratively. Although I passed the lowest standard, I passed at least!

I will soon go to practice martial arts with Lord Shangshi. When the time comes, I will rise to great heights, marry three wives and four concubines, and reach the pinnacle of my life. How can it be compared to your humble legs?

At this time, Zhang Yuxian walked towards Yi Yun.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Yun.

Lian Chengyu sneered, let's see how you end up later!

He had just had this idea, but then he thought that Yi Yun was just a mentally retarded child with a brain problem. No matter how embarrassing he was, he didn't care at all.

Should mentally retarded children care how they end up? It's normal for them to make a joke. Maybe they think it's a compliment when others laugh at them.

Thinking of this, Lian Chengyu was speechless. This is the so-called truth that you can never defeat a pure idiot, because if you want to defeat him, you must first lower your IQ to the same level as the opponent, and at that time, you will be

He defeated with his incomparable wealth of experience.

"Yi Yun, right?" Zhang Yuxian walked up to Yi Yun.

"Yes, sir!"

"Have you really never practiced martial arts?"

Zhang Yuxian glanced at Yi Yun thoughtfully. Zhang Yuxian's cultivation level was only in the Purple Blood Realm and he could not feel Yi Yun's specific cultivation level. However, he felt that there was an aura hidden in Yi Yun's body.

The edge is restrained and hidden!

"I've practiced a little bit." Yi Yun considered his words carefully, and learning secretly can be regarded as martial arts training.

"Sir, this kid is lying!" Zhao Tiezhu was snitching from the side, "I can testify that this kid has never practiced martial arts!"

Yi Yun looked at Zhao Tiezhu as if he were an idiot, "Do you know if I have practiced martial arts? I have passed by the tribal school countless times, and when Coach Yao taught martial arts, I also practiced with him."

Yi Yun openly admitted that he practiced martial arts in order to find a reasonable explanation for one day in the future when he showed his true strength. Then people would think that he was a genius, thereby reducing the risk of Amethyst being exposed.

.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain where his martial arts came from.

"Learning martial arts secretly?"

After listening to Yi Yun's words, not only Zhao Tiezhu, but also other members of the warrior preparation camp almost burst into laughter. However, they did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Zhang Yuxian.

At this time, no one was pursuing Yi Yun for secretly learning martial arts.

A member of the warrior preparation camp said: "The 'Dragon Muscle and Tiger Bone Fist' taught by Coach Yao is profound and profound. We followed every move and we didn't even understand it. You are a stupid naughty kid who has no power to restrain a chicken.

I still learned it secretly, so I can learn a lot!"

Yi Yun didn't bother to refute. Anyway, he just wanted to give everyone the impression that he was learning martial arts. When the time comes, he suddenly reveals his strength, so as to have a foreshadowing and buffer.

Zhang Yuxian groaned, put his hand on Yi Yun's shoulder, and slowly injected vitality into it.

In fact, Zhang Yuxian didn't have much hope. He just admired Yi Yun's bravery. It was not easy for a child to dare to stand up in that situation. Of course, appreciation is appreciation, and martial arts training does not rely on bravery alone.

However, when the vitality released by Zhang Yuxian was injected into Yi Yun's body and traveled around in a circle, Zhang Yuxian was waiting to take back the vitality to see how much had been absorbed, but...

He suddenly discovered that his vitality had disappeared like a mud cow into the sea, leaving no trace!

"This is……"

Zhang Yuxian's eyes widened, how could that happen?

His eyebrows were twitching and twitching. He didn't believe what happened just now, so he injected another stream of vitality into Yi Yun's body.

After this vitality entered Yi Yun's meridians, it was like a whale sucking water. It was sucked into Yi Yun's heart and absorbed by the amethyst, leaving not a drop left.

"you……"

Zhang Yuxian was shocked. Not a single bit of the vitality he injected into Yi Yun's body was absorbed!?

Seeing Zhang Yuxian's eyebrows twitching, even Chengyu didn't know if Zhang Yuxian was angry, so he walked to Zhang Yuxian's side with a sullen face.

What did Lian Chengyu think? Zhang Yuxian inspected the Lian clan, but it turned out that a weirdo like Yi Yun appeared in the clan.

Although he regarded the lives of the Lian clan members as nothing, in front of outsiders, Lian Chengyu could not tolerate the Lian clan embarrassment for him, causing others to look down upon him.

Lian Chengyu forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the dust-cleansing banquet has been prepared. Shall we eat first?"

Lian Chengyu wanted to divert Zhang Yuxian's attention and quickly expose Yi Yun's matter, but at this moment, Zhang Yuxian suddenly grabbed Yi Yun's shoulders.

He looked up and down at Yi Yun carefully.

How could such a talented person emerge from a small and poor tribe in the wilderness?

And the most rare thing is that the young man in front of him still has a firm and brave heart in martial arts. His ability to stand up in public has proven his courage.

In addition, the young man's hidden momentum also made Zhang Yuxian feel bright.

"You are very good, very good! I never thought that when I came to a small tribe in the wilderness, I would find a piece of rough jade like you."

Zhang Yuxian did not hesitate to praise him. His voice was loud and carried far.

ah?

Next to Yi Yun, Zhao Tiezhu, who had been ready to start taunting Yi Yun as soon as he lost the election, suddenly widened his eyes. His expression was like a bird that was about to crow before being choked.

Neck of cock.

Did I hear correctly what Mr. Zhang just said?

Beside Zhao Tiezhu, Lian Chengyu, who was making preparations for Zhang Yuxian to go to dinner, was stunned and did not react at all.

Those in the outer circle who couldn't see clearly what was going on inside didn't know what was going on. They just heard Zhang Yuxian suddenly admired someone, and they immediately became interested.

"Who? Who gets such a high rating."

Someone was hopping in the outer circle and looking in.

"You have a 'leak-free body'. Even if it is just a low-level purple-blooded body, it is very good! If you put it in a big family, you will be taken seriously!"

A body without leakage?

No one, including Lian Chengyu, has ever heard of this term.

But this does not prevent them from understanding Zhang Yuxian's attitude.

"Very good", "raw jade", "can be taken seriously even in a big family"!

Even Zhao Tiezhu, who was not very bright, could tell that Zhang Yuxian's evaluation of Yi Yun seemed to exceed that of Lian Chengyu!

How is it possible? Zhao Tiezhu looked as if he had eaten a pound of shit, his expression was extremely wonderful.

The other members of the warrior preparation camp were also dumbfounded, their mouths opened and they could not close them for a long time.

"Brother, he..."

Jiang Xiaorou blinked her big, watery eyes. Of all the people, she was the one who hoped that Yi Yun would succeed the most, but the happiness came so suddenly that she couldn't believe it.

She watched Yi Yun grow up from a little kid wearing crotchless pants. She had never noticed that Yi Yun had any talent. What Zhang Yuxian said now was so good. Is this true?

Jiang Xiaorou thinks this is too mysterious. It seems that even Chengyu's evaluation is not as good as that of his younger brother?

"This kid is a martial arts prodigy? How is that possible!"

Lian Chengyu suddenly clenched his fists, he couldn't accept it.

Zhang Yuxian obviously favors Yi Yun more!

Lian Chengyu has always been the number one genius of the Lian clan. How can he tolerate someone surpassing him?

And the other party is still a little slave!

"Um... Sir, you said this boy is a martial arts prodigy? Are you mistaken..." Everyone doubted Zhang Yuxian's words. In the end, Zhao Tiezhu was the first to lose his composure and asked stupidly.

Zhang Yuxian's face suddenly darkened and his voice became colder, "Do you doubt me?"

"Uh..." Zhao Tiezhu was startled and shook his head like a rattle, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Zhang Yuxian glanced at Zhao Tiezhu coldly and said: "My time is limited. In half an hour, the selected people will gather here. I will teach you martial arts for only three days!"

After Zhang Yuxian finished speaking, he walked away, seemingly not even interested in eating the dust-washing banquet.

Zhao Tiezhu, Lian Chengyu and other people in the warrior preparation camp were left staring with big eyes at a loss.

They all looked at Yi Yun like a monster, unable to accept this reality!

Yi Yun passed the preliminary election and received such a high evaluation. How could this be reasonable?

"Yun'er!" Jiang Xiaorou looked at Lian Chengyu and others who wanted to swallow Yi Yun's eyes. She felt unsure, so she quickly pulled Yi Yun to her side.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! That man said that I'm not suitable for martial arts training, and he also said that that boy is so handsome and has such a good body. I can lift a 400-jin stone roller, but that boy can't even hold a chicken. I

Will it be inferior to him?"

The stocky man from before suddenly shouted.

His words immediately received responses from many people.

"You actually said that I'm not as good as that naughty kid, I don't believe it either!"

"This little bastard is so lucky!"

The people in their warrior preparation camp were originally full of confidence, but they were beaten to a pulp by Zhang Yuxian in the first primary election. Only Yi Yun, who had no power to restrain a chicken, was highly praised.

How can they be convinced!

At this time, Zhao Tiezhu walked to Yi Yun's side and said in a low voice: "Boy, don't be so proud. Mr. Zhang doesn't know what's going on with you. Do you think we don't know either? You've been weak and sick ever since you were a child.

You're like a little chicken, you can't lift a fifty kilogram stone lock, you can fall to death even if you pick some medicine, how can someone like you be a martial arts prodigy? Bah!"

What Zhao Tiezhu said was actually quite right. Children in the village who were about the same age as Yi Yun could already lift fifty kilograms of stone locks, but Yi Yun could only barely lift thirty kilograms a few months ago.

Yi Yun himself never thought that he would be evaluated as having a "flawless body".

Relying on the amethyst and the keen perception after breaking through the meridian realm, Yi Yun had guessed what Zhang Yuxian was doing just now. He was testing his talent by injecting energy.

All this energy was absorbed by Amethyst, which resulted in Zhang Yuxian's misunderstanding.

In fact, if we really talk about talent, the talent of this body is really mediocre, not a flawless body.

A true martial arts prodigy cannot have such a poor physique like Yi Yun. If his body really has a high affinity for energy, then just the invisible absorption of surrounding energy by the body can already make a person strong.

Got stronger.

A child who grew up in a wilderness without enough food to eat, do you expect him to be a genius?

Of course, Yi Yun still planned to recognize the name of this genius.

Otherwise, how will you explain yourself when your strength is exposed in the future?

So, Yi Yun looked at Zhao Tiezhu with a half-smile.

Seeing Yi Yun looking over, Zhao Tiezhu glared back with disdain, "What? You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, compare yourself to me. I can kill you with just one finger. If you move an extra hair, you'll win."

!”

Zhao Tiezhu was also angry and wanted to fix Yi Yun.

Yi Yun just said lightly, "Uncle Tiezhu, have you finished eating your big locust tree?"

In one word, a fatal blow!

Zhao Tiezhu's originally planned sarcastic words were suddenly choked in his throat, his eyes were as wide as dead fish lying on the ground, and he was speechless.

"And which warrior just now...wanted to eat stone nuggets?"

"Well... there is another one who wants to drink all the water from the East River."

Yi Yun smiled naively. He was small and thin, with a childlike look on his face. He looked harmless, but his words had tons of lethality.

The members of the warrior preparation camp quickly put aside the relationship and denied that they were the ones who said it. In front of so many tribesmen, they could not afford to lose this person if they were slapped in the face as soon as he said it.

"Fellow warriors, I want to take a rest and prepare to practice martial arts with Lord Zhang. Speaking of Master Lian, since I have to practice martial arts, I would like to take a few days off for the matter of tempering the bones. I don't know if that's possible."

Yi Yun looked like he was sincerely asking for permission, but Lian Chengyu's face turned completely dark. Did he dare not to allow him to leave?

"Of course, practicing martial arts is the most important thing." After Lian Chengyu said this, he felt that his intestines were twisted together.
