"Who is it?" Beiguan Weibu shouted angrily, and the light elements suddenly rose on both sides of his body, instantly illuminating the entire dark room.
"Eh?" The voice from before let out a soft eh, obviously surprised that Beiguan Weibu's light element could be so holy and pure.
In the room, an old figure slowly emerged, wearing a shabby linen robe and a linen hat with several patches sewn on his head. His long, messy white beard was dragged in front of his chest. He was holding a stick in his hand. A long iron stick over two meters long.
The only pair of eyes that were so bright that they seemed to be able to see the stars and the universe were really too abrupt for Bei Guan and Weibu. These are definitely not eyes that an old man can have.
"Who are you?" Beiguan Weibu asked vigilantly. The light elements slowly gathered forward, becoming particularly agile under the catalysis of the power of force.
"Haha, you two are in my shop, and you ask me who I am?" The old man in front of him smiled kindly, and didn't care about Beiguan Weibu's hostility towards him. He went straight to a recliner and lay down.
Beiguan Weibu was stunned for a moment, then slowly withdrew the light element and frowned: "Are you the owner of this weapons store?"
"You two little friends, if I have any treasures that you like, please point them out. The price is negotiable." Without directly answering Beiguan Weibu's question, the old man lay on the recliner and rocked leisurely.
Beiguan Weibu and Ah Yuan looked at each other, and then said: "Old sir, you have too many treasures here. I don't have enough gold coins with me. Please come back next time. Old sir, take your leave."
"Wait a minute." Just when Beiguan Weibu and the two were about to exit the room, the old man suddenly called out.
"Is there anything else, old gentleman?" Beiguan Weibu turned around and asked.
"You and I are destined to meet each other today. If you can walk in, it means that your fate with me is complete. Well, I am also a person who cherishes fate. I will give this to you." After saying that, a shiny thing came out of the old man's hand. It flew out of his sleeves and robe and fell into Beiguan Weibu's hands.
"You two can go."
Beiguan bowed to the old man without a step, raised his legs and walked out the door, but a few seconds later he pushed the door open again, put a bag of gold coins on the table, and then bowed to say goodbye.
The room became silent again, and no movement was seen from the old man on the recliner. A bag of gold coins on the table slowly flew over there. His withered hand took the bag of gold coins. The old man seemed to smile in a low voice, and finally Slowly disappeared into the room.
"Son, we will meet again."
After walking out of the weapons store, Bei Guan and Weibu did not look back and returned directly to the school. The two of them were in the dormitory, curiously looking at the only thing they had just harvested in the weapons store.
"Weibu, what did that old man give you?" Ayuan looked at the shiny thing in confusion.
Beiguan Weibu shook his head and said: "This seems to be a glass shard, but I have never seen any glass shards that are golden. Shouldn't they all be transparent?"
Looking at this golden crystal with a completely irregular shape and only about three centimeters in length, the two of them were puzzled at the same time.
"Could it be the crystal core of some kind of tattooed beast? Or is it tattooed iron?" Ayuan asked suddenly. Recently, she had also read books about tattooed beasts and felt a bit similar.
"No," Beiguan Weibu continued to deny, "The crystal cores of pattern beasts do have various shapes, and so do pattern irons, but they both have the same characteristic, that is, they will resonate with the power of martial arts. As long as you hold it , there will be a feeling of echo. But I don’t feel anything about this gadget.”
"How about asking the teacher?" Ayuan simply gave up thinking.
"Hmm..." Beiguan Weibu surprisingly did not confirm immediately this time. Instead, he hesitated for a long time. Intellectually speaking, in this case, he really had to go to Qin Ya, but there was something inexplicable about it. Feelings prevented him from going.
The old man never gave him a sense of danger from beginning to end. Instead, he had a friendly atmosphere. He swore that this was the first time he went to that weapons store, but the old man was just very strange. Apart from other things, he just Even the costumes are strange. The Lingwu Empire is the second superpower with the "granary of the continent" and the "best economy". The people here have a very good living standard, and basically everyone can eat and wear well. He lived a prosperous life, but the old man's clothes were really unflattering. This kind of situation would never exist in Ruby Town.
And what impressed Beiguan Weibu the most was the old man's eyes. They were so bright, so penetrating, and so full of soul. It was completely breathtaking, but not aggressive. Bei Guan Weibu has only felt the double eyes from one person.
That's Cain.
But Cain's pair of blood-red pupils are extremely charming and domineering. Just looking at those pupils will make your soul tremble and fear. But this old man's eyes are all-encompassing, seeming to contain endless knowledge and wisdom. .
"Don't worry, this thing will be kept secret from the teacher for the time being, and we will talk about it after the mid-term assessment is over." Beiguan Weibu still plans to figure it out on his own first. As the end of the term is approaching, Beiguan Weibu estimates that the school will wait until the mid-term is officially over. The final assessment content will be released, so time is still very tight.
Ayuan also nodded. She would definitely not have any refutation of Beiguan Weibu's words.
Putting away the things, Bei Guan Weibu said to A Yuan: "I won't sleep tonight and just meditate. I have to maintain my condition at its peak. The competition will start immediately after the draw is over tomorrow morning. You can just follow the teacher then. .”
Ayuan nodded, and then Beiguan Weibu immediately entered a state of meditation.
A night of silence.
As the first ray of sunlight in the morning broke through the darkness of the mainland, Beiguan Weibu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. A night of meditation made his condition couldn't be better. The dual elements of ice and light were in his body. After gradually waking up, he also slowly became active.
After meditation, Beiguan Weibu also formulated several combat plans in his mind to cope with today's team combat assessment.
The first part today is a two-on-two small team battle. The rules are very simple. An elimination system is adopted. A team only needs to win ten battles to qualify. Those who do not win ten battles will be counted as eliminated. Two-on-two teams The combat score is recorded as zero points. A win will be counted as one point, a draw will not count, a loss will deduct one point, and the full score will be ten points. The team that gets the tenth place can freely choose other teams to challenge, and will no longer be matched by the system. If you challenge a team repeatedly, Doesn't count as an achievement.
If there are two or more teams that get ten points within the specified time, they will start a duel with each other, and the points will be cleared and the points will be recalculated.
Odin's five playgrounds were already overcrowded. The first-year freshmen lined up neatly according to their classes in the main square, waiting for the lottery results. The remaining senior students, many of whom had no classes, were sitting in the auditorium waiting for the results. Down game.
"Okay, let me announce the two-on-two draw for today's mid-term team assessment for freshmen." Luo Xunying, containing the majestic power of martial arts, shouted towards the five noisy playgrounds.
"First let me read out the rules of the competition. First, this competition is divided into four areas, namely Area A, Area B, Area C and Area D. The four areas are located on the corresponding four playgrounds of A, B, C and D to complete your tasks. Next game; secondly, after each district finishes the game, the school's referee team will count the scores, with a full score of ten, and then rank them. The top five teams in the three districts, B, C and D, will be ranked at the beginning of the finals. Competing with the top five teams in District A, that is to say, the two-on-two final is a battle between twenty groups; thirdly, the end time of the two-on-two team battle is today at six o'clock in the evening, each The team's score must exceed ten points to be considered for promotion, otherwise it will be eliminated, and the total score of your team members' two-on-two for the eliminated team will be zero points."
"Now read out the detailed rules of the points. A win in the group will earn one point, a draw will result in no points, and a defeat will deduct one point. Ten points will be used to advance, and the full score will be ten points. The team that advances first will be matched with the promoted team again, and the points will be reset to zero, and the full point will be two points. If a team gets two full points, the total score of the two-on-two team battle in the midterm will be counted as full marks, and an additional five points will be added to the total score of the final assessment."
"Everyone will be given a competition area competition card by the head teacher of each class later. Please go to the designated competition area and the designated group to compete. Once the competition starts, you are not allowed to change groups without authorization. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a voluntary abstention and the competition qualification will be cancelled."
"The above are all the rules for this two-on-two team battle. Please note that this competition adheres to the competition concept of friendship first and competition second. Everyone must pay attention to the rules and listen to the referee's decision. Everything depends on the decision-making of the referee panel.”
"Next, the Odin Junior Warrior Academy referee panel announced that the first-year freshman mid-term team assessment and the two-on-two group combat competition knockout will begin now!"
