In the next few days, apart from perfecting "A Thousand Purple Reds", Lin Yan spent the rest of his time practicing.
Although the focus of Lin Yan's training has always been on "Mo Jue", this is not only because he has received the inheritance of Mo Sect, but more importantly, this skill has a great relationship with his life experience. If he practices diligently, he will Maybe you can find some clues from it.
But unfortunately, even after practicing for so long, he still couldn't understand this set of exercises. Fortunately, the "breath soil" in his body had grown a little bigger, and now it was the size of a basin, which made him a little bit confused. comfort.
Although "Mo Jue" has not made any big progress for the time being, don't forget that he is a person with two sets of skills. If one is not good, there will be another!
Because the volume of the "breathing soil" has become much larger, more vitality has been effectively tempered and purified, and thus fed to the small tree transformed by the vitality. With such continuous nourishment, it is growing rapidly. .
Now it can no longer be called a small tree, but should be called a big tree. After all, compared with before, its height and volume are now several times greater.
This is not only due to Lin Yan's unremitting efforts in cultivation, but also due to the magic of the "Mo Jue" method. This energy feedback mechanism brings a large amount of pure energy, prompting the vitality tree to grow crazily.
At the same time, the white jade gourd Lin Yan obtained a few days ago can accelerate the speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, and can also effectively purify it.
After these two washes, the vitality of the world and the outside world has been purified to a terrifying level, which has caused the "breathing soil" in his body to become more and more solid and the color to become darker and darker.
Once the soil is good, will the trees growing on it not grow well?
Therefore, under the influence of many favorable factors, although the vitality tree in Lin Yan's body did not reach the sky, its height was just up to the standard, and the "Deadwood Jue" he practiced successfully broke through to the second stage - "Towering Trees".
At the moment of breakthrough, three circles of wood grain slowly appeared on Lin Yan's forehead. This "towering grain" was the external manifestation of the second level of the technique.
Due to the breakthrough in the skill, a large amount of vitality immediately poured into Lin Yan's body crazily. In addition, he had been in the Great Perfection of Body Training Realm for a while, and all parts of his body had reached the level of body training. The state of perfection.
By chance, it was time for a breakthrough. Lin Yan did not dare to neglect, and started to run his skills, controlling the vitality in his body to slowly impact the various meridians in his body.
When in the physical training state, it only focuses on the external training of the body, but in the meridians state, it mainly focuses on opening up the various meridians in the body.
Due to the initial opening, the meridians that were originally narrow or accumulated other impurities need to be washed over and over again by the vitality of heaven and earth until they are completely unobstructed. Only in this way can the vitality in the body be like an arm and a finger, hitting wherever it points.
To use the simplest analogy, it is a narrow trail that was originally filled with gravel and other debris, making it difficult for even pedestrians to pass. Later, after cleaning up, the road was widened, and after repair and reinforcement, it was more than enough to accommodate the passage of horse-drawn carriages. This is more or less the truth.
What Lin Yan is currently doing is to clean up the steps to widen the meridians, but this is easier said than done. In the process of clearing the meridians, one has to endure the pain under the repeated erosion of the vitality of heaven and earth. This step has discouraged many people, not to mention the subsequent expansion when a large amount of vitality pours in.
But Lin Yan was not an ordinary person. Under the constant washing of the vitality of heaven and earth, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Qiu Lao appeared, looked at Lin Yan, and nodded. The reason why he chose Lin Yan in the first place was not just because he was the first person to break in in so many years. How could the inheritance of the sect be so casual?
The reason why Mr. Qiu didn't particularly care about this matter before was because he didn't want to put too much pressure on Lin Yan. When he first met Lin Yan, he saw the potential in the latter. Of course, this was not only limited to his talent, but more importantly, his tenacity that refused to admit defeat.
The road to becoming a strong person is so bumpy. Geniuses can only walk a little faster than ordinary people. But this is not a sprint, but a long-distance race with no end in sight. The competition is not to admit defeat, but the competition is persistence. Once you slow down, others will overtake you without hesitation and leave you behind. behind.
Time flew by quickly, from morning to dusk in the blink of an eye, and Lin Yan finally didn't suffer in vain. With his persistence, the twelve meridians in his body have been opened, and he has officially entered the early stage of the meridians.
The three yin and three yang of the hands and feet communicate with each other through the meridians, forming six pairs of "external and internal harmony" relationships, thus forming a recurring transmission system, which makes the speed of the vitality in his body reach an extremely terrifying level. The quality has also made a fundamental leap.
If he meets Bai Shan and others now, he will definitely be qualified to fight.
In order to flush out the meridians, Lin Yan didn't eat for two meals before, and she was already very hungry. In addition, she was sweating all over, making her sticky and uncomfortable.
He first called the waiter and asked the kitchen to make a large bowl of mutton noodle soup. After eating and drinking enough, he boiled water and took a nice bath before he recovered.
This day-to-day life is not easy at all.
After a good sleep, Lin Yan got up early the next morning, packed up, and headed to the martial arts field.
This time, as usual, he did not bring Mumu and "A Thousand Purple Reds". Since there were rumors that the emperor might come to watch today, the defense level in the martial arts arena will inevitably be raised several levels, and you will definitely not be able to enter with these.
Moreover, it would be great fun if he was regarded as an assassin with ulterior motives or something. So out of caution, Lin Yan decided to travel lightly.
When he arrived at the martial arts arena, Lin Yan encountered much stricter interrogation than before, and finally entered the arena with great difficulty.
As soon as Lin Yan came in, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing. These people were very active when he came here before. What happened today?
Turning his head, Lin Yan looked at the high platform, only to find that the deputy dean who was supposed to be in the middle quietly moved his position and sat on the left side. However, the prime minister Huangfu Qi did not come today, and the "Wuchen" old Taoist continued to sit on the right side. .
The person in the middle turned into a middle-aged man wearing a yellow brocade suit and a brocade hat. His life is long and dragon-like, his eyes are bright and lively, and the tip of his nose is slightly rounded and slightly hook-shaped, making him look mighty and majestic, and his appearance is dignified.
The yellow brocade robe is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which is noble and domineering. It soars above the clouds made of brocade, and an aura of looking down on the world can't help but exude.
Looking at the noble temperament revealed from the inside out on his body, his identity was immediately revealed. He was none other than the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty - Li Junlin.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Tang actually came to the martial arts field to watch the battle. This gave the "Sage Academy" a huge face. After all, there were not many things that could make the emperor move away.
Since the Emperor was here, the officials and other people in the audience naturally did not dare to make any mistakes. They all behaved like well-behaved babies a few months old, trying to be as calm as possible.
Lin Yan glanced around the audience and saw Li Zongsheng who was following his father, Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, and immediately waved to him.
When Li Zongsheng saw this, he was about to get up and respond when he was glared at by Mr. Shaoyin beside him, which meant: You can't calm down for me until you see the emperor coming!
The former was stared back by this look, and could only stretch out his hand to wave slightly, looking aggrieved.
Lin Yan smiled helplessly when he saw this, and then got ready to enter. Here, he met Xue Nichang and Xu Dahai, who had just had dinner together a few days ago. They were already waiting here.
After about half a stick of incense, the time for the previously scheduled competition has arrived.
Emperor Tang, who was sitting in the center of the first seat, stood up and cleared his throat. The huge martial arts arena suddenly became extremely quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
Emperor Tang looked around and then said slowly: "You are all rare talents and the hope of the Tang Dynasty. I hope you can forge ahead and achieve good results!"
"Now, the competition officially begins!"
As Emperor Tang gave the order, the martial arts arena suddenly burst into joy, and the long-awaited quarterfinals began!
The opponent for this competition was also determined by drawing lots, but the difference was that the person who drew lots was replaced by Tang Tianzi.
He put his hand into the sealed cardboard box, then pulled out two slips of paper and spread them out. One of them had Bai Shan's name written on it, and the other had Yu Yu's name written on it.
The opponent for the first competition is decided like this!
Bai Shan is already a strong person in the Tongmai Realm. He has proven his strength in the previous two assessments, and after the qualifying competition started, no one has been his one-in-one enemy.
Although Yu Yu's strength is not bad, he still has to compete with others. He obviously felt uncomfortable facing the powerful Baishan.
Precisely because he had been along the way before, he had a clearer understanding of Baishan's strength than others. Although they were both in the Tongmai realm, he knew that Baishan's strength was definitely superior to his own. This made him, who had always been called a genius by the elders of the clan, dissatisfied and at the same time felt helpless.
However, no matter how strong Baishan is, he cannot directly raise the white flag and surrender. First, his dignity does not allow it. Second, Emperor Tang is still watching here. Even if he cannot win, if he performs brilliantly, he may be able to attract the attention of the emperor. .
Think about defeat before you win!
At the beginning, Yu Yu's belief in winning was shaken. He was thinking about how to lose decently. How could he win in such a state of mind?
When the competition began, Yu Yu took the lead. The vitality in his body was continuously transferred to the long sword in his hand with the operation of the technique, and the sword body was covered with a layer of faint white light.
The moment he takes action, it is his most powerful move, because he understands that if he does not seize the initial opportunity, he may not even have the chance to take action in the future.
I saw the cold light on his sword getting stronger and stronger. When it reached an extreme, he shouted softly: "The sword moves in all directions!"
Then he rushed away, stabbing at Baishan with the long sword in his hand, leaving afterimages in the air.
On the other hand, the latter looked like he was in a state of silence. The moment before the long sword was about to come, Bai Shan unfolded the iron fan in his hand with a "swish" sound, and at the same time his palms flew. The iron fan danced up and down like a butterfly, blocking Yu Yu's sword shadow without falling.
Then, in the latter's shocked eyes, he closed the fan and pointed forward, and then the front end of the iron fan suddenly fell on his chest.
Then he saw a figure flying backwards, then fell heavily on the stone platform and passed out.
In the first game, Baishan wins!
