"Now that you are on the bronze list, Suzaku Academy will have ten geniuses on the bronze list. In two months, you will represent the Suzaku Academy in the competition. During this period, you must practice hard and get the best results by then.
With a good ranking, not only will you receive generous rewards, but the entire Suzaku Academy will benefit from it."
Mulan smiled.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will go all out when the time comes!"
Then he looked at Feng Wu and said: "Feng Wu, what did you say a few months ago? I said that if I defeated Yao Tianyu within four months, you would treat me to a big dinner."
"Hey! Why do you remember so clearly? Sister Mulan has already rewarded you with 3,000 contribution points. Are you still thinking about my feast?"
Feng Wu gave Lu Ming a look.
Lu Ming touched his nose and said, "That's another matter. I've been thinking about your feast for several months."
"Yeah, yeah, that's not the same thing, haha, you must bring Lao Pang with me."
Pang Shi shouted from the side.
"Hey, Big Rock, what are you making fun of?"
Feng Wu said unhappily.
In the end, they couldn't defeat a few people, so the group left Suzaku Peak and came to Xuanjian City.
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and when they returned, it was already late at night.
That night, Lu Ming did not practice, but had a good night's rest.
The next day, Lu Ming walked towards the Contribution Hall.
He was going to exchange the money and a few martial arts skills he had on him into contribution points, and then exchange them for some monster blood to practice.
He has more than four million taels of silver and three martial arts secret books on him.
They are the Huang-level low-grade swordsmanship and martial arts "Wild Waves Slash", the Huang-level high-grade body martial arts "Teng Yun Step", and the Huang-level high-grade martial arts "Hunyuan Gong".
However, Lu Ming had no intention of exchanging "Teng Yun Step" and planned to keep it for his own practice.
After all, his training time is too short, and he cannot compare with those old disciples who have been practicing for several years, or even five, six, or seven or eight years. Those old disciples have no shortage of body martial arts, offensive martial arts, and defensive martial arts.
The heat is not weak either.
But Lu Ming has only practiced four martial arts skills now.
Flame Dragon Fist, Dragon Snake Step, Flowing Light Sword Technique, and Gang Fire Spear Technique.
At his current state, the Flame Dragon Fist and Dragon Snake Steps are no longer useful, and he must practice higher martial arts skills.
He planned to focus on practicing "Teng Yun Step" and "Gang Fire Spear Technique" before the competition in the four courtyards. As for other martial arts, he didn't have that much energy.
This is because of the sound of chanting in the Supreme Temple. How long has it been since he started practicing? It's only been about ten months. Anyone else would never be able to practice these martial arts to such a high level in such a short period of time.
realm.
After arriving at the Contribution Hall, Lu Ming exchanged "Wild Wave Slash" and "Hunyuan Gong" for contribution points, exchanging a total of 30,000 contribution points.
In addition, he exchanged two million taels of silver into contribution points, leaving more than two million taels of silver for himself.
There are 50,000 contribution points in total, plus Lu Ming's remaining contribution points from before, the total is 55,000.
Then, Lu Ming began to redeem the monster blood.
A second-level ninth-level monster requires one thousand six hundred contribution points. Lu Ming redeemed twenty-five copies, using a total of forty thousand contribution points.
In addition, Lu Ming exchanged for a piece of second-grade high-grade soft armor, which cost him 3,000 contribution points.
The 55,000 contribution points suddenly shrank to only 12,000 contribution points.
This spending speed is really terrifying.
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken, but it was worth it to improve his strength.
After returning to the dormitory, Lu Ming entered the Supreme Temple and began to practice.
Lu Ming did not continuously devour the demonic beast's blood essence, but instead devoured and refined a portion every two days. In this way, the foundation would not be unstable.
At other times, Lu Ming puts most of his thoughts on "Soaring Cloud Step" and "Gang Fire Spear Technique". In addition, he will also take time to understand the 'power' of fire.
Every time he comprehends the power of fire, a volcano will appear in his mind.
The power of that volcano will fill your heart.
What surprised Lu Ming was that as his understanding of the power of fire deepened, he practiced the Gang Fire Spear Technique, and the effect was better than usual. It was as if he was practicing in the Lingnan Fire Domain all the time.
Time passed like this day by day, and the annual competition between the four colleges was getting closer and closer.
During this time, the atmosphere in the four major courtyards of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect became increasingly tense. All the geniuses on the bronze list were practicing hard in seclusion in order to get closer.
And more people are stepping up to challenge the Bronze Stage, hoping to reach the Bronze Ranking during this period and qualify to participate in the Four Academy Competition.
More than a month later, the Gang Fire Spear Technique made another breakthrough and entered the fourth level.
And when the competition of the four courtyards was about to begin, the Gang Fire Spear Technique had reached the peak of the fourth level, but it seemed to have encountered a bottleneck. No matter how hard Lu Ming practiced, he could not break through.
The one who has made the most progress is Teng Yunbu.
As martial artists improve their level of martial arts, their understanding of martial arts will become deeper and deeper, and they will be able to practice low-level martial arts skills more quickly.
For example, if a Martial King-level warrior is asked to practice Huang-level martial arts, it will probably only take two days to reach the sixth level.
Therefore, Lu Ming is now practicing the high-grade yellow level Teng Yun Bu, which is several times faster than his previous practice of flowing light swordsmanship.
In two months, Lu Ming directly cultivated Teng Yun Bu to the highest level, the sixth level, where human and martial arts become one.
After refining twenty-five copies of the second-level ninth-level demonic beast essence and blood, Lu Ming's cultivation level has also been promoted to the eighth-level martial arts peak, and he is only one step away from the ninth-level martial artist.
At this time, Xuanyuan Sword Sect ushered in the most lively and exciting moment of the year.
Competition among the Four Houses.
At this time, basically all the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect have returned to the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
Although most disciples are not qualified to participate, seeing the duel between the top geniuses in each realm will be of great help to their own cultivation.
Moreover, this time in the competition between the four houses, there were actually four new kings on the same stage. This was extremely rare in the history of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and it was naturally more attractive.
"Lu Ming, this is for you."
On the day of the Fourth Court Competition, before dawn, Hua Chi and Pang Shi knocked on Lu Ming's door, and Hua Chi stuffed him with a small book.
"This is?" Lu Ming was a little confused.
"Here is information about all the geniuses on the bronze list. You can take a look. It might be helpful to you."
Huachi Road.
"What? Information about all the geniuses on the bronze list? How did you get it?"
Lu Ming was shocked.
"Senior Brother Lu Ming, Huachi spent a lot of money to collect this during this period and asked many old disciples to help collect it. Now I have discovered that this guy, the nymphomaniac, has nothing but a lot of money."
Pang Shidao.
"Hey, Big Stone, what are you talking about? What do you mean I have nothing but a lot of money? Let me tell you, I have a lot of everything."
Huachi said unhappily.
Lu Ming's heart moved and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
As you can imagine, collecting this information cannot be done with a little money, it is definitely a big number.
He had a feeling that Huachi's identity seemed to be quite extraordinary.
"Thank you!"
Lu Ming cupped his fists and said.
"I just don't want you to lose so miserably. After all, we are in the same dormitory. If you lose miserably, I will lose face."
Huachi left a word, turned and left.
"Senior Brother Lu Ming, let's set off together later."
Pang Shi touched his head and said, and then left.
