On the ferry deck.
Jiang Ning was a little at a loss for a moment, because at this time, there were boys and girls of similar age to him on the deck, some crossing their legs, some standing, some looking into the distance, or looking at his uninvited guest.
Liu Tingshan smiled slightly and explained: "They are the same people from hundreds of nearby cities who have won the city selection quota like you. Next, we have to set off to the last place, Luoshui City, and then go directly back to the academy."
After hearing Liu Tingshan's words, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel curious. Just as he was about to observe the others, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly appeared in front of him. It seemed as if he appeared out of thin air, but it didn't make people feel out of place. It was as if this old man had been standing beside them all along. General in front of me.
"Tingshan, is this the person selected by Pingyang City? Not bad, not bad. With this qualification, there is no problem in entering the inner court. Although he is only one-star Soul Refining Realm, his spiritual power is restrained. It seems that his Body Tempering Realm is extremely polished. It’s really not easy to be thick.”
Liu Tingshan bowed slightly and replied: "Vice Dean, this young man is sixteen years old and was promoted to the Soul Refining Realm just after the city examination."
The old man couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the words, and his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, "Oh? You have such a strong body in the body tempering realm, little guy, not bad, not bad."
Jiang Ning didn't know what to say, so he could only bow respectfully and said obediently: "Hello, Vice President."
"Well, your room is in the first one on the second floor. You can go back to your room to rest. Tingshan, you come with me."
After the old man patted Jiang Ning's shoulder, he turned around and left with Liu Tingshan.
After watching the old man leave, Jiang Ning suddenly found himself being stared at by many people, some with curiosity, jealousy, and envy.
After all, there are no more than five people on the deck to be able to alarm the deputy dean and be praised by the vice dean at the same time.
Jiang Ning was a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many peers for the first time. Then he was about to go to the second floor of the deck to find his room, but was blocked by a tall young man.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
The tall young man spoke in a bad tone and looked domineering.
Jiang Ning frowned. He didn't know how he offended the young man in front of him. He didn't want to pay attention to it, so he bypassed the tall young man and walked directly to the second floor.
Feeling that he was being ignored, the tall young man couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Oh, you coward, boy, remember your father's name is..."
"boom!"
Before the tall boy could finish speaking, he hit the railing of the ferry and fainted.
Jiang Ning slowly retracted his fist and walked straight to the stairs on the second floor without even looking at the tall boy.
Just as everyone was surprised, a voice sounded from the deck.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for this brother to suddenly take action and leave, right?"
I saw a young man in brocade clothes walking out of the crowd. He was very handsome with bright eyebrows and white teeth, but the arrogance between his eyebrows was not so pleasing.
"Look, it's Lin Hao who was named by the vice president to enter the inner courtyard. His martial arts level is only lower than that of Yu Zheng."
"This Jiang Ning seems to be in the one-star soul refining realm. I don't know why he was named by the vice president to enter the inner courtyard?"
"You idiot, don't you see? Jiang Ning just punched Li Daniu, who is in the three-star soul refining realm, and knocked him unconscious. Although it was a sudden attack, would you be able to do it if it were you?"
"Now we have something good to watch. If I remember correctly, Lin Hao should be in the six-star soul refining realm."
Seeing Lin Hao's appearance, the deck became lively for a while, and in the stands on the second floor, Liu Tingshan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to make enemies for Jiang Ning as soon as the vice president comes."
The old man with white hair and beard didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he laughed and said: "It's a good thing for the boys to warm up. Besides, I also want to see Jiang Ning's strength. The spiritual power in the little guy's body is no less than that of a five-star soul refining realm." , and there is no doubt that Xuanjia’s body is strong, if I read it correctly, Xuanjia has already reached perfection, and if it takes one further step, it will become a golden body.”
"Gold... golden body? Physical golden body?"
Liu Tingshan was very surprised and looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief. Naturally, he would not doubt what the old man in front of him said. He never expected that a Soul Refining Realm body could be compared to a Tongxuan Realm martial arts cultivator?
On the deck, Jiang Ning turned to look at the young man known as Lin Hao and said coldly: "If you say one more thing, I will beat you too."
"Wow, this Jiang Ning is so domineering. A one-star soul-refining realm dares to talk to a six-star soul-refining realm like this. I'm so impressed."
"Hey, don't tell me, Jiang Ning is a bit handsome when you look at him like this, but I still like Lin Hao."
"Hey, just say it, can you take your hands off my ass? Brother!"
"..."
Lin Hao just wanted to speak, but was stopped by someone next to him.
I saw a slightly older boy bowing slightly and smiling at Jiang Ning: "Qingtian City Yu Zheng, Eight Star Soul Refining Realm, Li Daniu and Lin Hao are both my friends. Please forgive me for the trouble I have caused you. I am willing to offer tea instead." Drink, make amends to my brother."
Jiang Ning glanced at Yu Zheng, just replied that he had no time, and went directly to the second floor.
"Brother Yu, why don't you let me fight with him? Am I still afraid of him?" Lin Hao was a little dissatisfied seeing Jiang Ning being so ignorant.
Yu Zheng looked at Jiang Ning's leaving figure with a smile, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, the smile gradually disappeared, and he said in a cold tone: "There will be a chance."
On the deck, because of Yu Zheng's appearance, everyone who was originally enjoying the excitement suddenly lost interest. However, the name Jiang Ning was instantly heard among everyone. He was the first person on this ferry who dared not to give Yu Zheng credit. , you must know that Yu Zheng is not only the person with the highest level of martial arts among the students on this ferry, but the Yu family behind him is not an ordinary family. It is rumored that the Yu family in Qingtian controls half of the ferry in Tianqiong State, and its power can be said to be all over the country. The entire Tianqiong State.
Jiang Ning didn't know anything about the discussions on the deck. After returning to the room, Jiang Ning did not enter Jiuji Pagoda immediately. Recalling what happened on the ferry just now, he couldn't help but feel a little pressure. Sure enough, no one who can enter Tianqiong Academy is ordinary. people.
Although the young man named Yu Xuan is one or two years older than him, his martial arts realm at the Eight-Star Soul Refining Realm cannot be underestimated. In particular, the sense of oppression emanating from him is far greater than that of the young man named Lin Hao.
"Huh~ It seems you have to work harder, otherwise there will be no chance in the battle for the Ultimate Realm of the Purple Mansion in a year's time. Aman, you must wait for me!"
…
In the Jiuji Pagoda, Jiang Ning reached the first floor. At this time, the first floor was empty, and the white-haired boy was no longer seen.
Ever since his thirty-first punch, he had surpassed the ancestors of the Jiang family and became the strongest person in the body tempering realm ten thousand years ago.
During the thirty days in the pagoda, he learned a lot from the white-haired boy. They were both teachers and friends. Sometimes during breaks, Jiang Ning would take the initiative to tell the white-haired boy stories about what happened ten thousand years later.
However, the white-haired boy's iceberg-like personality was really not a good chat partner. Seeing that the ancestors of the Jiang clan were not interested, Jiang Ning stopped talking about some exciting points.
What followed was heavier punches and kicks, but the white-haired boy controlled it very well and did not make Xiao Xuan faint. He experienced firsthand what it means to be loved by his ancestors.
However, during the beating, I seemed to hear the white-haired boy dropping his fist and muttering in a low voice: "I asked you to speak, but half of it!"
At the thirty-first punch, the white-haired boy suddenly gave up all defenses and watched with a smile as Jiang Ning unleashed the punch that established the strongest body-tempering realm.
After one punch, the body of the ancestor of the Jiang clan gradually shattered and faded. Finally, the body exuded a faint fluorescence, and then turned into a string of obscure runes, all of which disappeared into Jiang Ning's eyebrows.
After a burst of severe pain, Jiang Ning felt an exercise called [Nine Gate Armor Binding] emerge in his mind.
This is a trick to forcefully open the bound spiritual energy in the body through spiritual power, and gain several times the power over oneself in a short period of time.
Each time you open a door, your strength will be doubled, and you will also gain corresponding magical skills. The nine doors also correspond to the nine realms of martial arts, which not only rely on the spiritual power in the body, but also have extremely demanding requirements on the body.
Jiangning's current situation is that he can open two doors, one is Thunder Armor, the other is Power Armor, Magic Skill Thunder and Vientiane. This is currently Jiangning's biggest trump card.
However, there are also disadvantages to opening the nine doors. Every time it is used, the body will be damaged to varying degrees. Without a strong body, the person will be half disabled before the door is opened.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Jiang Ning went directly to the second floor following the guidance of the mysterious old man.
"Little guy, the guy on the second floor seems to have a bad temper. You'd better take it easy."
"Forehead!"
Hearing what the old man said, Jiang Ning's mood suddenly became uneasy. You must know that the ancestors of the Jiang family on the first floor and the mysterious old man did not say that he had a bad temper.
So where is the second floor?
