Deep in the martial arts academy, next to the seven-story tower on the highest floor, there is a quiet courtyard.
This area belongs to the residence of the martial arts teacher. This small courtyard is the most top-notch and most exquisite. It is rarely open to the public on weekdays, but it is occupied these days.
In the small courtyard.
"Junior sister, don't blame the master. Experience in martial arts is a must for every martial artist. Coming to the martial arts academy as a teacher is the easiest way." A man wearing a large black robe with a trace of scar on his face The young man smiled.
"I see."
Huan Xinyan, who had eye-catching black hair, smiled and said: "As a teacher, teaching your disciples is also teaching yourself. After more than a year as a teacher in the martial arts academy, I have gradually understood the principles of martial arts that I never understood in the past."
"good."
The young man with the scar looked at Huan Xinyan with admiration: "The little guy who was barking and screaming behind my senior brother's butt has finally begun to mature."
"Senior brother, you always like to mention things from the past." Huan Xinyan smiled helplessly.
"Haha, the little girl will be shy." The scarred young man laughed louder, couldn't help but touched Huan Xinyan's head, and said with emotion: "I don't know which young talent will be worthy of you in the future."
The scarred young man looks young, but in fact he is over forty. It is only because of his successful martial arts practice that the traces left by the years are lighter.
And he watched Huan Xinyan grow up!
"Senior brother, it's still early." Huan Xinyan said: "I remember, senior brother, you didn't get married until you were in your thirties."
"I got married late, so there is no suitable candidate." The scarred young man said with a smile: "Actually, that little guy Lu Ren is not bad."
"Senior brother, don't make any mistakes. I'm not interested in him, and I don't think about getting married anytime soon." Huan Xinyan shook his head.
The scarred young man smiled and didn't take it seriously.
suddenly.
"Master Huan, senior brother Wu Yuan has come to the martial arts academy. He has already gone to the 'Martial Arts Hall'." A slightly awkward voice sounded outside the small courtyard.
The two people in the courtyard heard the news and left.
Outside the courtyard, there was a tall, thin and young girl, wearing the uniform of a martial arts disciple.
"Wu Yuan is here? Okay, you immediately report to the dean and other martial arts teachers. I will come right away." Huan Xinyan said.
"Yes." The girl left quickly.
"Wu Yuan? He's a disciple of the martial arts academy, right?" The young man with a scar in black robe on the side said with a smile: "You are actually a little bit nervous, junior sister?"
He just heard the girl call Wu Yuan as senior brother, and understood that she must be a disciple of the martial arts academy.
"He is the first disciple I taught personally after coming to Licheng County Zongwu Academy." Huan Xinyan said with a hint of pride on his face, "I am looking for him because he is likely to have a sixth-grade martial artist." Strength, so I called many teachers from the martial arts school to witness it and wanted to test him specifically."
"Sixth-grade martial artist?" The scarred young man in black robe smiled: "I remember that martial arts disciples are at most fifteen years old."
"right!"
"Wu Yuan, he has just turned fourteen a few months ago." Huan Xinyan said solemnly: "Moreover, he has only made rapid progress in the past few months. Half a year ago, I remember that he was still a little short of a seventh-level warrior."
"Only fourteen years old? He was not a seventh-level warrior half a year ago?" The face of the black-robed scarred young man who had always been calm changed slightly: "Junior sister, are you sure? Is it because of martial arts enlightenment?"
"How could my professor's disciple not confirm it?" Huan Xinyan said solemnly.
The scarred young man in black robe nodded slightly: "The improvement in physical fitness is amazing, but I don't know how he is in actual combat."
"His sword skills and footwork are very solid." Huan Xinyan said.
She could tell that her senior brother was somewhat interested.
"Haha, junior sister, whether your training is solid or not depends on actual combat." The black-robed young man with a scar said with a smile: "Isn't your martial arts academy going to test him?"
"Let's go! Take senior brother with you to have a look."
"Okay." Huan Xinyan's eyes lit up. She knew very well that her senior brother was considered a high-level member of the sect.
What if Wu Yuan can be favored by his senior brother?
Then Huan Xinyan is even more certain, it can even be said to be a certainty!
...Martial Arts Hall.
This is the main hall of the martial arts academy. Some large-scale public events are held here. There are also several special training rooms and strength testing rooms here. Naturally, disciples of the martial arts academy are constantly coming in and out.
"Senior Brother Wu."
"Senior brother." These martial arts disciples basically all know Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan, who was standing on the side of the hall, nodded slightly in response.
"I don't know what Master Huan and Dean are looking for specifically for me?" Wu Yuan thought.
He couldn't think of any particular reason.
Since the end of the martial arts competition, he has kept a low profile. Even if he practices in seclusion in the martial arts academy, he rarely goes out.
"In the past few months, I have only met Master Huan two or three times." Wu Yuan thought: "Could it be related to the rumors spread by the family."
There was a rumor in the family that Wu Yuan was nearly as powerful as a martial artist, but that was just a rumor and Wu Yuan had not shown it publicly.
At this time.
Sixty-seven martial arts disciples were walking in from the main hall gate together.
"Brother Guan is definitely the first one in our class to reach the seventh-grade warrior level!"
"Seventh grade warrior!"
"Brother Guan Yang has ranked first in four consecutive small competitions recently, and his progress is getting faster and faster. He has great hope of entering Yunwu Hall next year." These martial arts disciples were chatting away as they walked. One by one, they were praising the handsome, muscular boy with short hair walking in the middle.
"Huh? Isn't that Senior Brother Wu Yuan?" Suddenly someone saw the figure not far away.
"Wu Yuan?"
"The fourth in this year's martial arts competition, it is said that his strength is almost the same as Liu Ruyan, who ranked first this year!" Several disciples whispered in succession.
In terms of age, Wu Yuan is not older than them, and is even younger than some of them!
But in the martial arts academy, Wu Yuan has always been a man of the hour.
"Wu Yuan?" The young man named 'Guan Yang' frowned.
He naturally knows Wu Yuan.
As the most dazzling disciple of the Higashinoguan clan in recent years, he is extremely eager to enter the Yunwu Palace.
To enter Yunwu Hall, you must win the first place in the martial arts competition!
Guan Yang knew his competitors well. In his mind, the one who threatened him the most was Wu Yuan!
It's just that he has never seen Wu Yuan in the past few months.
"I heard that Wu Yuan is not old and is still qualified to participate in the next martial arts competition, so he has been staying in the martial arts academy with the same goal of entering the Yunwu Hall." A disciple accompanying him whispered: "I'm afraid he will be Brother Guan a major threat.”
The other disciples couldn't help but nod. The top four in the previous competition, even if their strength did not improve, would all win the first place in the next competition!
Moreover, at their golden age of physical development, even if they don't practice crazily, their strength will steadily improve.
"He is so powerful that Brother Guan is probably no match for him right now." A tall and calm disciple in the same group couldn't help but say.
"snort!"
Guan Yang snorted coldly and glanced at the tall and thin disciple, who immediately changed his face slightly and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
call!
Guan Yang's direction changed, and he led a group of followers and walked straight towards Wu Yuan.
"Senior Brother Wu." Guan Yang smiled broadly, showing no trace of the coldness just now, and took the initiative to speak: "I have always admired Senior Brother Wu, but I have never spoken to Senior Brother Wu."
"Senior Brother Wu."
"Hello, senior brother." Several disciples spoke one after another, all showing a little awe.
Although they formed a small group with Guan Yang, they were still very reserved when facing the "famous" senior brother from the previous generation.
"Hello." Wu Yuan smiled casually and didn't pay much attention.
"Senior Brother Wu, my name is Guan Yang, have you ever heard of me?" Guan Yang maintained a smile that he thought was elegant.
"Guanyang?" Wu Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "No!"
Guan Yang's face froze!
In an instant, Guan Yang concluded that Wu Yuan was deliberately mocking him. After all, in his opinion, he had won the first place in the competition four times in a row. Even if the other party did not know him, how could he not know his name?
But how did he know that since the last martial arts competition, Wu Yuan had never paid attention to the affairs in the martial arts academy?
Martial arts competition? A bunch of kid stuff.
In Wu Yuan's original plan, he did not plan to participate at all.
"Senior Brother Wu, I've heard your name for a long time." Guan Yang stared at Wu Yuan: "I heard that you didn't go to Nanmeng Martial Arts Academy just to win the first place in next year's Martial Academy Competition. It just so happens that I also have ambitions to enter Yunwu Palace! "
"I think, how about we have a competition?"
"Competition?" Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
With a quick glance, he realized that this group of martial arts disciples was led by Guan Yang in front of him, and Wu Yuan suddenly understood.
"There's no need to compete." Wu Yuan said calmly.
"Is Senior Brother Wu afraid, or does he think I'm not qualified?" Guan Yang said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Wu is very strong. He became a seventh-level warrior at the age of fourteen. I admire him. My physical fitness may not be as good as that of Senior Brother."
"However, I have to be personally taught and trained by my ancestor. I think my sword skills are somewhat unique, and I would like to ask my senior brother to correct me." Guan Yang stared at Wu Yuan.
Guanyang's mood is not out of the ordinary.
But he knew very well that if he wanted to enter the Yunwu Palace, he had to figure out the strength gap between him and Wu Yuan.
"Ancestor?" Wu Yuan frowned slightly and suddenly understood: "Are you a descendant of the Dongyeguan family?"
"Exactly!" Guan Yang had a hint of pride.
Wu Yuan understood in his heart.
The ancestor of the Guan family in Dongye County, 'Guan Zishan', is the number one master in Licheng, and was once a first-class master!
The Guan family is also one of the largest families in Licheng.
suddenly.
"Wu Yuan is there."
"We're here." There was a burst of noise at the entrance of the hall, and a group of people walked in, causing many disciples to look at them.
Guan Yang and Wu Yuan also looked at it.
Dean Zhang Da, Huan Xinyan, and a dozen other martial arts teachers wearing purple robes walked in at the same time.
"Dean? Teacher?" Guan Yang was slightly shocked.
"Why do so many teachers suddenly come to the martial arts hall?" The nearly twenty disciples in the hall were a little confused.
"Him?" Wu Yuan looked at him as well, but his gaze passed over the teachers and landed on the figure of the young man in black robe and scar at the end of the crowd.
That pace!
That look! There was also that invisible energy that was still captured by Wu Yuan even though it was well hidden!
How amazing is Wu Yuan's insight? Judgment in an instant - master!
At least a first-rate master!
"Haha, Guan Yang, you are all here." One of the martial arts teachers stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to call you here to observe and learn from your senior brother Wu, but since they are all here, it is just right."
"Master Liu, what about observing and learning?" Guan Yang couldn't help but ask.
"What?" The martial arts teacher frowned and said, "Don't you know? You senior brother Wu already has the strength of a martial artist, and today is the public certification test of the martial arts academy!"
"Senior Brother Wu? What is the strength of a martial artist?" Guan Yang glared and looked at Wu Yuan beside him as if he were a monster.
