At the Monster Mountain Formation, two old men dressed in Sky Vault Academy uniforms were leisurely drinking tea.
This picture may be fine in other places, but it seems out of place in this dangerous beast mountain range where monsters are rampant.
However, not to mention hundreds of miles around, the monsters within at least fifty miles fled in all directions. Just because of the aura exuded by these two people, some low-level monsters were frightened.
There are two old men with a stooped figure. One is Xia Qirong, the vice president in charge of the outer courtyard of Tianqiong Academy, who is on the same ferry as Jiang Ning. The other is shorter and thinner, and is Feng Yuan, the vice president in charge of the inner courtyard. dragon.
Xia Qirong looked at the wild ancient trees around him and said with a smile: "This year's city selectors are a bit exciting. Not only do they have the body of the extreme sun, but there is also a little guy who is only in the soul refining realm." One star, the body has reached the perfect level of Xuanjia, is it really unbelievable?"
The short, skinny old man seemed to be sleeping, his eyes slowly opened a crack, and he glanced at Xia Qirong with some surprise, and said: "One-star Soul Refining Realm, Physique Xuanjia?"
"Yes, the body black armor." Xia Qirong said with emotion: "Although it is only a one-star soul refining realm, the spiritual power in the body is no less than that of a five-star soul refining realm. You can imagine how terrifying the body tempering realm has been. I really can’t believe that a small Pingyang City could produce such a monster.”
Xia Qirong continued to ask: "Is there anyone in your inner courtyard who can compare with you?"
Feng Yuanlong shook his head: "Don't talk about the inner courtyard, even if you look across Kyushu, it would be difficult to find another person who refines his soul in the martial arts realm, but his body is Tongxuan. It's really unbelievable."
The two of them were guessing which people would be among the top ten in the entrance test this year, but as they were talking, Feng Yuanlong suddenly turned pale, stood up with a bang, and looked in one direction of the Monster Mountain Range in horror. But in another moment, his expression returned to normal, but he could not hide the doubtful look in his eyes.
"Old Feng, what's wrong?" Seeing Feng Yuanlong's sudden behavior, Xia Qirong asked in confusion.
Feng Yuanlong did not answer immediately. This time he closed his eyes, and the terrifying consciousness almost covered the entire periphery of the Monster Mountain Range.
After a long time, Feng Yuanlong slowly opened his eyes, sat down slowly, shook his head and said: "Maybe you don't believe me, but just now I sensed the aura of an eighth-level monster, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. Didn’t feel it.”
Xia Qirong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm talking about Lao Feng, do you know what you are talking about? The eighth level, he is a strong emperor. If it really appears, can't he kill us with just one finger? Besides, the Demon Emperor It’s not cabbage on the street, it can be seen everywhere. If I remember correctly, the last time the Demon Emperor appeared was a thousand years ago, right?”
Feng Yuanlong didn't say much. Although he was confused, Xia Qirong was not wrong. Maybe he had made a mistake.
Outside the Monster Mountain Range, in a natural cave.
Jiang Ning held one hand on the cave wall and gasped for air. He finally escaped from the clutches of the terrifying beast. He was going to die. He couldn't risk his life like this again next time.
"Can you put me down?"
A pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Jiang Ning noticed that there was another person on his shoulders and quickly put the person down.
"I'm sorry, there is a terrifying monster inside. The situation was urgent and there was no time to explain, so..."
Jiang Ning was stunned in the middle of his words. This was the most beautiful person Jiang Ning had ever seen. Even the already flawless face of the ancestor of the Qin family was slightly inferior to the girl in front of him.
The young woman wore a colorful dress and had a slender but exquisite figure.
Her green silk hair falls naturally like a waterfall, her bright eyes and white teeth, willow eyebrows and thin lips, and her beautiful nose and jade ears are like the most beautiful facial features in the world put together to create the most beautiful face in the world.
"Have you seen enough?"
The young woman's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, a little dissatisfied.
Jiang Ning reacted quickly and shifted his gaze slightly, "Sorry, by the way, you are also a student of Tianqiong College, right? Why did you appear there alone?"
The young woman didn't answer, she just stared at Jiang Ning and sighed softly: "Come out and see him."
"What?"
Jiang Ning was confused, why come out to see him?
Just as he was about to speak, his vision suddenly went dark, he lost consciousness, and fell straight down.
When Jiang Ning was unconscious, a small black tower slowly appeared between his eyebrows. When the young woman saw this mysterious little tower, she did not feel the least bit strange.
In the small tower, the mysterious old man's voice came out: "I won't see you for ten thousand years, Qingqiu."
The young woman named Qingqiu stared at the small tower and said, "It is indeed you. Tell me, you exposed your presence specially to attract me. What's the matter?"
The mysterious old man replied with a smile: "I hope you can be this little guy's protector once. You only need to protect him once. Isn't it too much?"
Qingqiu glanced at Jiang Ning who was lying on the ground, and was a little puzzled: "The kindness of my Tianhu clan will be used on this little guy? Are you sure?"
The mysterious old man nodded and said, "Well, if one day this little guy encounters unsolvable trouble deep in the Monster Mountains, you only need to take action once and escort him out of the Monster Mountains."
Qingqiu frowned slightly and sneered: "It turns out it's for the seventh floor of the Jiuji Pagoda. Are you so confident that this little guy can go that far?"
The mysterious old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "He is the descendant of that guy."
The young woman looked at Jiang Ning again. After a moment, she was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "You chose him because he is that guy's descendant? Although his physique is good, his state is too bad, right? Wannian The calamity is coming soon, leaving him not enough time to grow up."
The mysterious old man smiled and replied: "But he has Nine Spiritual Veins."
Hearing this, Qingqiu's thin lips opened slightly, a little unbelievable, but he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xiaota in horror, "You, you don't want to..."
The mysterious old man smiled: "Otherwise?"
After a long time, the young woman seemed to have made an important decision. She looked at the old man with firm eyes: "Yes, I promise you to protect him."
Qingqiu paused and continued: "This little guy is the candidate for Tianzhi Academy's city selection this time, right? I have an incarnation that is also in this city selection. If he can't even compete for my incarnation, then I advise you to give up on this idea."
Hearing this, the old man was a little surprised, "Did you cut off the Nine Tails yourself? Cast off your body and recast yourself? What step do you want to take?"
The young woman did not respond to the old man's question, but just smiled proudly, as if with her smile, the originally dark cave suddenly became much brighter.
"no?"
…
When Jiang Ning woke up, the sky had darkened, and the entire Monster Mountain Range had completely turned into a paradise for monsters, with terrifying roars coming and going.
In the cave, the beautiful woman was gone.
Although it was a little strange what happened in the cave, Jiang Ning didn't think much about it and couldn't understand it.
Listening to the constant terrifying roars, Jiang Ning temporarily gave up on joining Doudou and the other four, and could only wait until tomorrow morning before setting off.
Just as he was about to enter Jiuji Pagoda, he was stopped by the mysterious old man.
"The Monster Mountain Range is quite complex. You'd better not expose the existence of the Jiuji Pagoda, otherwise it will be easily sensed by some terrifying beings, which will cause trouble."
Jiang Ning was stunned. He never thought that Jiuji Pagoda could still be sensed?
However, he still listened to the old man's words. With the terrifying roars of beasts coming from time to time in his ears, Jiang Ning practiced cross-legged. The nine spiritual veins in his body absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish the lack of spiritual energy in his body. He continued to refine his soul with the Soul Refining Art.
After a night of silence, Jiang Ning set out towards the waterhole at dawn. The journey was smooth and he did not encounter any high-level monsters. Although he encountered some first-level monsters, they did not cause any hindrance to him.
Soon, as he approached the water pool, Jiang Ning smelled a faint smell of blood coming from the direction of the water pool. His heart suddenly tightened and he quickly speeded up.
A hundred meters away from the water pool, Jiang Ning heard Doudou's angry voice in his ears.
"You bad guys, these are brother Jiang Ning's naked fruits, you can't even think of taking them away."
