Chapter 70 Candidates for the Competition
Xu Fu felt as if a storm was rising in his heart. How could the kind old dean in front of him be so powerful? His previous experience was as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, without any difference.
"Dean, it's like this..."
Xu Fu thought for a while and then explained the cause and effect of this matter.
"Soul-searching technique?" Li Fengchun was slightly startled when he heard these three words. When he heard that Zhu Tingfang was being attacked, he let out a faint sigh.
"This kid Zhu Tingfang is really getting better and better, and he actually doesn't even spare a junior." Li Fengchun sighed softly after hearing what Xu Fu said.
"Boy?" Xu Fu couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this. Zhu Tingfang must be eighty years old at least, but he was actually called a boy by the dean? How old is this dean?
"He should be coveting your skills." Li Fengchun said slowly, like an old man chatting with people in the village, without any trace of the master's demeanor.
Although the words were soft, Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat when he heard them. Could it be that the dean also wanted this technique? But having said that, who doesn’t want the ninth-level skills?
"You don't have to be too vigilant. It's a great opportunity for you to practice this technique." Li Fengchun seemed to have seen through Xu Fu's thoughts, and said as calmly as ever.
"Dean, do you know the origin of this technique?" Xu Fu asked tentatively.
"According to legend, this technique was created by an ancient immortal. It was called Tongtian Jue. It was originally carved in a cave. It was accidentally hit by a medicine collector and he copied it down. This person practiced this technique for many years. Ten years later, the sky will rise." Li Fengchun said as he neatly put the pages of exercises back on the bookshelf, then turned and went downstairs.
"Ascension?" Xu Fu was shocked. Could this technique help him become an immortal? Seeing Li Fengchun coming downstairs, he hurriedly followed.
"It's a pity that this person devoted himself to cultivation and had no heirs. This technique disappeared in the world and its whereabouts were unknown until a hundred years ago, someone got the news that this technique fell into the hands of the black devil."
"Ah!" Xu Fu cried out when he heard the word "Black Demon". He didn't expect that this technique was actually related to the "Black Demon".
"Do you know about the Black Devil?" Li Fengchun looked at Xu Fu and asked in surprise. Except for the older generation, not many people knew about the Black Devil.
"I have met people from the Black Demon before, and I don't think they are bad." Xu Fu explained that he did not dare to tell the dean about being a Dark Demon envoy. Who knows the dean's attitude towards the Dark Demon? It would be terrible if you hate him to the core.
"Life in this world is full of different expressions. How can it be explained clearly in terms of good and bad? Although this man in the dark world behaves ruthlessly and will retaliate, he can still be regarded as a clear distinction between good and evil."
Xu Fu felt happy after hearing this. It seemed that the black devil really punished rape and eliminated evil.
"The black devil takes it as his own duty to punish evil, but there are not many sects that do evil. In a few years, he has offended all the sects in the world. However, he was frightened by the black devil's advanced cultivation, and each sect had its own agenda. The two alliances to conquer the black devil ended up being abandoned due to disagreements. Until the news that this technique fell into the hands of the black devil spread..."
At this point, Xu Fu has understood. This group of people said they were going to eradicate the black devils and defend the right path. In the final analysis, they were still trying to seize the skills. No wonder the elites were all out. The sword god probably had such thoughts. Xu Fu felt that before The fascinated sword god suddenly became ugly.
"It was a fierce battle. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Not even one out of ten survived. Those who were lucky enough to survive were also scarred. This battle was also called the catastrophe by future generations." Speaking of this, Li Fengchun let out a long sigh of relief. , with a sad look on his face, and did not continue speaking.
"What about the Tongtian Jue? Who got it in the end?" Xu Fu asked quickly.
"The Tongtian Jue was torn apart during the fight, and what you just read were a few pages from it."
After listening to Li Fengchun's explanation, Xu Fu fell into deep thought. Since he could practice the broken page of the Tongtian Jue, he must have learned it from his master and Hall Master Fu before. related?
"Excuse me, dean, do you know where there are fragments of the Tongtian Jue?" Xu Fu asked cautiously. By asking, he clearly told the dean that he had practiced the Tongtian Jue, which can make the world's righteous people use their best. It shows its value. This should have been a top secret that was rotten in the stomach, but now it is so easy to find a way to break through the Yin and Yang Demon Subduing Formation, and I am really unwilling to give up.
Li Fengchun glanced at Xu Fu, thought for a long time, and said: "Dean Qingwu of Qinglong Shanling Academy once came to see me. He brought a few pages of fragments with him, which are closely related to these pages..."
……
By the time Xu Fu left, the sun was setting in the west. Xu Fu was still empty-handed, but he looked worried.
Looking at Xu Fu's back, Li Fengchun looked solemn. He raised his hand and made a few strokes in the air. A mysterious talisman appeared out of thin air, but it disintegrated as soon as it condensed.
"Dean."
Wei Wu did not know when he appeared behind Li Fengchun and bowed respectfully.
"This boy's destiny is extraordinary, and his celestial skills cannot be calculated. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse!" Li Fengchun sighed softly.
"Teacher, the origin of this boy is unknown. Could it be that he was sent by someone with ulterior motives?" Wei Wu asked coldly.
"This child is available for this year's competition."
……
On the way back, Xu Fu was in a trance. The dean's words made him unable to calm down for a long time. The calamity of Heaven once again subverted his understanding. The famous and decent people he originally longed for in his heart seemed to be just a group of profit-seeking people. Disciple, a Tongtian Jue will reveal their true colors. What is the difference between this and those crooked ways? Even the black devil who is a killer organization is much more magnanimous than them.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Suddenly he heard a muffled sound. Xu Fu looked up and found that he had unknowingly reached the door of the refining room.
I saw a burst of black smoke coming out of the weapon refining room, and a man ran out of it with a disgraced face, coughing constantly.
"Hello, Teacher Bai."
Bai Yu is the only teacher in the entire spiritual academy who knows how to refine weapons, but this teacher doesn't seem to be very good at it either. Seeing Bai Yu's embarrassed appearance, Xu Fu felt inexplicably better.
"Xu Fu! You're here just in time, help me." When Bai Yu saw it was Xu Fu, his eyes lit up and he shouted hurriedly.
As soon as he entered the refining room, Xu Fu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This teacher Bai was too capable.
Next to the weapon refining furnace, there were piles of black and gray waste. There was only one path leading to the gold furnace. The originally wide furnace side seemed extremely crowded.
Without Bai Yu's arrangement, Xu Fu took off his hospital uniform without saying a word, picked up the tools, and shoveled the waste into the basket. Looking at Bai Yu, he was also waving his slender arms to join in.
"Teacher Bai, I'll do the rough work. You'd better take a shower first!" Xu Fu said with a smile as he shoveled away the debris.
"Then you do it slowly first, I'll be fine soon." Bai Yu also knew what kind of virtue he was at this time. When Xu Fu said it, he felt uncomfortable all over. He agreed and walked quickly towards the back room.
With Xu Fu's strength, he really didn't take this job seriously, so he moved the waste residue accumulated around the refining furnace outside the house. By the time Bai Yu came out of the bath, Xu Fu was already cleaning the last bit of powder.
"You finished it so quickly?" Bai Yu hurried over, still steaming from his body, and said in surprise when he saw Xu Fu who was cleaning.
"Washing so fast?" Xu Fu was also a little surprised. He originally wanted to tidy up and then go back quietly. After working for a while, he felt a lot more comfortable, which reminded Xu Fu of the days when he was grazing cattle at the landlord's house. . The fact that I can be where I am today is something I never dreamed of before. It doesn't matter whether he is from an upright family or a crooked family, it doesn't matter what it has to do with him, just live a good life.
"I'll do the rest, and you can go and wash it too." Bai Yu snatched the tool from Xu Fu's hand and said a little embarrassedly.
Xu Fu didn't refuse. Firstly, there was indeed some dust on his body, and secondly, it was really comfortable to take a bath in Teacher Bai's place.
Just as he was drowsy from soaking, there was a soft sound, and the door was opened with a crack more than a foot wide.
"There is a set of clean clothes here, you should change into them first." With a slightly shy voice, a smooth and white jade hand stretched out from the crack of the door, stuffed a bag of clothes in, and then hurriedly closed the door.
Xu Fu felt a warm feeling in his heart. He didn't expect that Teacher Bai was not only good-looking, but also so considerate. No wonder he was so popular among the students in the college. Unfortunately, Xu Guihua said that Teacher Bai had very strict requirements for accepting apprentices, and so far he doesn't have any students.
As soon as Xu Fu put on this dress, he knew that it was tailor-made for him. In addition, he also had a pair of new boots, which were very comfortable to wear.
When Xu Fu returned to the refining room, he saw Bai Yu staring at something in a daze. Xu Fu also curiously leaned over to see a few small light red particles.
"What is this?" Xu Fu asked softly.
Bai Yu was slightly startled, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Xu Fu. Then he pinched a piece with a bit of pride and said softly: "This is red copper, used for refining weapons."
"Red copper?" Xu Fu also imitated Bai Yu's example, pinched one and looked at it.
This red copper particle is smaller than an ear or eye, looks inconspicuous, and is heavier than iron of the same size. The most peculiar thing is that this red copper is actually warm.
"I wonder if it can be made into a hand warmer."
Xu Fu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. Now he is a seventh-grade venerable. Although his spiritual power has been sealed, his physical strength may not be inferior to that of sixth-grade physical cultivation. The cold and heat that once made him unbearable have long been a thing of the past. , but he still unconsciously thinks of that little wish from the past.
"Is this made from those spiritual mines?" Xu Fu was impressed by the warmth, which was similar to the feeling he felt when carrying those spiritual mines.
"Yes, thanks to your help."
"Refined just this much?" Xu Fu pointed at the dozen red copper grains and asked in surprise.
"What if the refiner made it with money?" Bai Yu said with a wry smile. The red copper ore she bought came from the same mine. It was an inconspicuous and poor mine. After a few days of work, it was enough. Ten thousand kilograms of ore can only produce so much red copper, which may not even be enough to make a ring, let alone other things.
"By the way, this is for you."
Bai Yu seemed to suddenly remember something, grabbed a money bag and handed it to Xu Fu, "Your wages for today."
"Teacher Bai, this..."
"Take it, there will be a long time to come."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Bai Yu's face turned red, and he secretly cursed himself with a "bad mouth", which made others think that he had some ambiguous relationship with the student in front of him.
Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, thinking about his "extraordinary" appetite, and took it while thanking him.
"Teacher Bai, what's wrong with your hand?" When Xu Fu took the money bag, he noticed something unusual and asked in surprise. The gentle and kind-hearted Teacher Bai has a smooth and flawless face, but there are a few deep and shallow marks on the back of her hands.
"As for refining weapons, it's normal to iron them a few times." Bai Yu said nonchalantly, rubbed her hands, and continued to study her red copper.
After bidding farewell to Bai Yu, Xu Fu returned to his residence with his money bag and found that Wei Wu was already waiting there for who knows how long.
"What technique did you choose?" Seeing that Xu Fu came back without any nonsense, Wei Wu asked straight to the point.
"No choice." Xu Fu said with some embarrassment. He was distracted by the Tongtian Jue. He had long forgotten about choosing the technique. He only remembered it when he saw Wei Wu just now.
"Why? Don't want to participate in the competition?" Wei Wu frowned, confused.
"I want to participate. But... I feel that the time is too short and I don't have spiritual power. I'm afraid it's too late to practice the skills. It's better to learn a few fighting techniques."
"Wait for me at Changsheng Hall every day from now on." Wei Wu thought for a moment, then said one sentence, then turned and left.
At dawn the next day, as soon as Xu Guihua went out to do work, Xu Fu got up and went to the Changsheng Hall to wait. I'm sorry to have Wei Wu wait for a long time yesterday, but I can't be late today.
Spring Cai Lingyuan is not very big. Although the location of Changsheng Hall is remote, it is not secret. Although the name is very impressive, it is actually a place for physical training. However, the place is not big. If there are many people, it will be very difficult to practice. It is easy to bump into each other, and most students would rather brave the wind and rain in the physical training school than go to the Changsheng Hall to practice.
Before Xu Fu could reach the door, he heard movement in the Changsheng Hall. This made Xu Fu feel nervous. Teacher Wei Wu had come so early, right?
If you listen carefully, you can see the short sound of the shot breaking through the air. Just listening to it, you can feel the swiftness of this person's shot. This sound is not unfamiliar to Xu Fu.
Splitting Wind Palm.
Pushing the door open and entering, Xu Fu was slightly surprised to see that it was Lin Mao.
Lin Mao had his back to the door at this time and did not look back when he heard the door opening. He did not stop until he finished this palm technique.
"Senior Brother Lin!" Xu Fu greeted with a smile.
Lin Mao closed his eyes, sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath, and ignored him.
Xu Fulie was a little embarrassed, so he had to look around in Changsheng Hall by himself. When he got bored, he found a bench and sat on it in a daze.
"Good morning, Lao Lin!"
After a long time, a voice finally came from the door.
Xu Fu stood up and took a look. He was tall and had a majestic face. He was Wei Wu. However, Wei Wu did not come alone. There were three students following him closely. Their temperaments were very different from Wei Wu's. They were actually "Sanshe brothers" who wanted to recognize Xu Fu as his eldest brother. The greeting just now was exactly what one of them shouted. .
"Teacher Wei." Seeing Wei Wu coming, Xu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Hey, isn't this big brother!" When the three of them saw it was Xu Fu, their eyes lit up and they gathered around him.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Fu didn't dare to answer the call, but he didn't ignore people like Lin Mao, so he had to ask with a smile.
"My three brothers have a duty to contribute to the Spiritual Academy!" She Jin said seriously.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The other two people also agreed.
"They took the place of the Hu brothers in the three-talent competition in the competition." Wei Wu glanced at Xu Fu intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.
"Brothers from the Hu family?" Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and laughed a little embarrassedly. The Hu brothers were indeed injured by him. At that time, they thought that the attack was not too serious and that they would be able to recover for ten and a half days. However, they did not expect that it would delay the competition at the Spiritual Academy.
"What about him? How come his speed can't replace Cai Li's?" Lin Mao stood up at some point and pointed at Xu Fu and asked Wei Wu coldly.
"He is not replacing Cai Li, he is replacing Huo Qiao." Wei Wu replied.
"Huo Qiao is a fourth-grade man."
"I know."
"Then who will take over Cai Li?"
As soon as Lin Mao finished speaking, he saw a purple figure rushing into the Changsheng Hall. The figure was slender, with a pink and delicate face. Although the temples were a little messy, he looked a little cute.
Seeing the visitor, Xu Fu frowned. Will Miss Qinglu also participate in the competition?
"Why are you here?"
Before Xu Fu could speak, Qinglu saw Xu Fu clearly and immediately said in annoyance.
"You had some misunderstandings before. Now that we are jointly representing the Spiritual Academy in the competition, we have to put aside the past and work together." Wei Wu said a little stiffly. For him, he is really not good at persuading people to make peace with others.
Xu Fu Qinglu looked at each other, and Qinglu immediately turned her face to the side and said coldly: "Don't hold me back."
"Just don't let me hold you back." Xu Fu said angrily.
"You're the only one with front legs!" When Qinglu heard this, she immediately became furious and her hands were already on the whip around her waist.
"Okay, let me tell you something." Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Wu had no choice but to speak again: "Except for Lin Mao, everyone else was recently selected to participate in the Spiritual Academy Competition. There are some things you need to know."
Wei Wu looked serious, and the others had no choice but to shut up and listen to what Wei Wu had to say.
"The competition will be held at Qiushi Spiritual Academy thirty-five days later. We need to set off six days in advance, which means we still have twenty-nine days to prepare for the competition. All you need to do is to prepare for the competition during these twenty-nine days. Tianzhong tries his best to improve his cultivation, become proficient in techniques and techniques, and accumulate experience against enemies."
Wei Wu looked at the indifferent expressions of several people and added another sentence.
"For this competition, the four major spiritual academies will select candidates."
