The next day, Xu Kai slept as usual until he woke up naturally, washed himself, and then continued writing "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".
It seems ordinary, but it is actually very unusual.
Because today is a day off.
Xu Kai is a strong supporter of the "work-rest balance" theory. Although he can almost be called a workaholic in his normal appearance. He is either doing experiments or writing books, but whenever he has a rest day, he devotes himself to rest. It’s rare that I’m still trying to write a book like this.
Huang Tu is different. He rarely rests. He believes that hard work can make up for weakness. Huang Tu's talent was not even ordinary in Tianxiang, so he worked extra hard, either studying or on the way to study all day long. Xu Kai could understand Huang Tu's feelings very well, so after he entered Tianxiang, he rarely went to play with him except for the occasional hot pot meal together.
Xu Kai just kept doing experiments and writing books, and never even went for lunch. It was not until the afternoon that he finally stopped writing.
He looked at his manuscript, was silent for a long time, put on some clothes casually, left his small courtyard, and walked in the direction of the Taoist family.
Not long after, he came to a small courtyard. The plaque on the door of the courtyard read "Xiu She".
This is the literary club that gathered talents from Tianxiang that he investigated yesterday. The name can be said to be concise and clear, and you can tell at a glance what it does.
He knocked lightly on the door.
"Here, who is... Xu Kai?!" The person who came to open the door shouted in surprise when he saw this person knocking on the door.
"Can I come in please?"
"Of course... of course! Please come in, please come in!" The person who opened the door was so excited that he couldn't understand what he was saying, and he quickly welcomed Xu Kai in.
"Would you like tea?" The man who served Xu Kai sat down and said enthusiastically with a cheerful smile.
This is a terrifying existence that can rival Kong Boxheng and Li He. What is even more rare is that he is also a scholar. If he can be included in the show club, then their show club will definitely go a step further!
Although people from Xiu Club generally quit the club after passing the examination, this does not mean that the previous friendship will no longer exist. Because many Tianxiang scholars have good family backgrounds, the show community has done well in Tianxiang, but it has finally reached a limit. And Xu Kai's arrival is a huge opportunity!
"No need." Xu Kai rejected the other party and asked directly without sitting down: "Are you the president of the show club, Mi Jinwen?"
"Exactly! I wonder what Mr. Xu Kai is here to do? If you want to join the society..."
"Give me a list of members of your show club." Xu Kai stated his purpose of coming expressionlessly.
"Ah... this..." Mi Jinwen scratched his head in embarrassment, "Your Excellency Xu Kai, I'm really sorry, the list of members cannot be revealed at will. Of course, if you join the show club..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Because Xu Kai stretched out his index finger and gently placed it on the other person's throat.
Mi Jinwen was trembling all over and breaking out in cold sweat. The coldness and unabashed murderous intent emanating from the other party made him clearly feel that if he said any words of rejection again, that finger would stab him without hesitation. Pierce your own throat.
"I'm not here to join your show club." Xu Kai was still expressionless, but the chill in his words was a bit more intense, "I have been very restrained, otherwise this so-called show club would have been demolished by me. "
Mi Jinwen gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency Xu Kai, your actions are not in line with Tianxiang's precepts! If you have anything to discuss, if you let me go now, I can pretend that nothing happened... Ahhh——!”
Before he could finish speaking, Mi Jinwen started wailing in pain, lying on the ground, his body struggling continuously due to the severe pain.
"Gah ah——! What did you do?!"
"Spiritual consciousness attack." Xu Kai said calmly, and then withdrew his spiritual consciousness power.
"No, no, it's impossible! Spiritual consciousness can only be born when people are lifted up. How can you have spiritual consciousness?!" Although the pain stopped, the remaining pain has not subsided. Mi Jinwen lay on the ground breathing heavily. , said intermittently but in disbelief.
"Let me say this for the last time." Xu Kai squatted down and placed his fingers on the other person's throat again, "I am in a very bad mood today. In order to suppress the anger in my heart, I wrote a book all morning, otherwise you would be dead. ."
"Hey! Wait, please wait a moment, I will hand over the list to you right away!" Mi Jinwen got up in a panic and walked towards the depths.
Xu Kai followed.
Entering a room, Mi Jinwen tremblingly found a thread-bound book from the drawer, knelt on the ground, and held the book in his hands.
Xu Kai took it with one hand and started reading it calmly.
This list is very detailed, including not only names, but also portraits, hobbies, place of origin, family affiliation, and even birth dates.
Soon, he found the names Huang Tu had told him.
"They are all from the Taoist family..."
After closing the list, Xu Kai returned the book to Mi Jinwen.
"Thank you very much."
After that, Xu Kai walked out.
Every footsteps seemed to hit Mi Jinwen's heart, which made his liver and gallbladder split, and Wen's heart trembled, almost to the point of being broken.
When the footsteps finally faded away, Mi Jinwen finally pushed his heavy body up unsteadily, panting heavily, and looked at the direction Xu Kai was leaving in fear.
He looked at a jade plaque hanging on his waist.
The jade card controls the formations within the Show Society.
As long as the formation is activated, even if it is Xu Kai, he believes that it will be enough to suppress the other party. After all, both of them are talented people, so how can they be different?
But if that was the case, why did he feel like he was surviving a disaster?
Mi Jinwen's eyes became more and more frightened, and he kept comforting Wen's heart that was about to be broken.
…
…
The selection battle for the Maha Realm is coming as scheduled.
Huang Tu felt a little familiar with the scene in front of him, because the scene was the same as when he and Xu Kai entered the second trial of the Demon Refining Secret Realm together. Hundreds of arenas were set up on a high mountain.
However, strictly speaking, what is on Xuansheng Mountain is not a ring, but small pavilions one after another, elegant and unique.
Soon, one of the three half-saints presiding over the selection began to read out the rules. This half-saint comes from a family of doctors. With him here, these are just battles at the level of human beings. Even if someone chops off the opponent's head, he can save them.
"Students, although this is a competition, we are all human beings and classmates. Although you come from different families and different factions, competition should be moderate. Therefore, this battle is just a matter of time."
"There are three hundred small pavilions on this mountain, distributed at different heights from low to high, representing the corresponding ranking. You can climb the mountain and choose a small pavilion as your goal. When the battle reaches the last person in the small pavilion, Then this person has the qualification to enter the Maha Realm. Different rankings can get corresponding rewards, and if he wins first place, he will become the leader of this team!"
"Now I announce that the selection has begun!"
Everyone swarmed towards the mountain.
Several people traveling with Huang Tu greeted him and started climbing.
Huang Tu also started climbing.
He knew very well that he came here just to gain experience, so he chose a pavilion quite far back.
The 300th floor is the last floor.
He took out the dragon bone pen and got into position. There is no way. He is just a scholar and cannot show off the magic of the literati. Although he can use the dragon bone pen to perform "writing attacks", he can neither "kill with words" nor use verbal arguments. He is almost certain to be defeated. of. So he came here just for fun and had no idea that he could survive in this pavilion.
At another place, Kong Boxheng and Li He walked side by side towards the peak. Everyone along the way made way for them, because everyone knew that since Xu Kai did not come, only the two of them were qualified to compete for the position on the peak.
Kong Boxheng was expressionless and could not tell what he was thinking; while Li He was holding a big black umbrella as a crutch with a smile on his face. People around him greeted him, and he responded enthusiastically, causing waves of anger. exclaimed.
The two of them successfully reached the booth on the top floor and bowed to each other.
…
…
Xu Kai did not go to Xuansheng Mountain. He was still writing in his small courtyard, as if he was not listening to what was happening outside the window.
Almost everyone went to Xuansheng Mountain, either to participate in the battle or to watch the battle, so it was very quiet here now, and Xu Kai liked the quietness very much. It's not that he hates liveliness, he also likes to be lively with people he knows well, but he also likes silence like this when there is no one around. What he hates most is having inexplicable outsiders interrupt the current tranquility.
"Du-du-du--"
Like now.
The sound from the communication jade disturbed the silence, but Xu Kai didn't feel disgusted because the person who sent the message was someone he knew well.
What he hates is people who do something to force the other party to send him a message.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Chang said to Xu Kai with a serious expression at the foot of Xuansheng Mountain: "Xu Kai, you are right. Sure enough, something weird happened."
"Senior brother, please speak."
"Originally, Kong Boxheng and Li He boarded the top pavilion and started fighting. At first, the fight was pretty normal, but when everyone thought they were going to get serious, Li He gave in."
"Admit defeat?" Xu Kai narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, he left the first floor, no longer competed with Kong Boxheng, and was heading towards the second floor... Oh, he just arrived at the pavilion on the second floor, and everyone there immediately ran away, all afraid of him. "
"Senior brother, please help me pay attention to the pornographic pictures."
"Hurt pictures?" Zhao Chang was stunned, "He is just a scholar, he should have been eliminated long ago. Let me see... where are the others?"
"Senior brother, look at the stand."
"On stage? He should have been eliminated a long time ago... Huh? He is still there? He is on the 300th floor." Zhao Chang frowned, "It is indeed a bit strange. Everyone on the stage is fighting, Huang Tu was able to fish in troubled waters in this situation and has not been knocked out of the game so far.”
"I understand, thank you, senior brother." Xu Kai hung up the call, took off Tianxiang's uniform, and put on a black coat.
Xu Kai walked out slowly.
But it is not the direction of Xuansheng Mountain.
He came to Tianqi Pavilion.
Xu Kai went straight to the highest level of Tianqi Pavilion and found Dai Xuandao.
"I've met Dai Zong." Xu Kai saluted.
"It turns out it's Xu Kai, you're here. No need to be polite." Dai Xuandao helped Xu Kai up, "Now people can also add 'Zong' when they call you. I'm flattered that you also add 'Zong' to me." ah."
"There is no comparison between the student's 'zong' and Dai Zong's 'zong'." Xu Kai said calmly, "I wonder if Dai Zong still remembers the agreement with the student?"
"Of course I remember." When he thought of this, Dai Xuandao smiled brightly. He made a lot of money from that bet. "Are you here to borrow the dragon bone pen?"
"exactly."
"Xu Kai, let me remind you first. Although I can lend you the dragon bone pen, I cannot agree with you to bring the dragon bone pen into the Maha Realm. It is too dangerous. To put it bluntly, if you encounter something unexpected , the dragon bone pen will be lost there in vain." Dai Xuandao warned Xu Kai seriously.
"Please rest assured Dai Zong, the student borrowed the Dragon Bone Pen only to participate in this selection and will not bring it into the Maha World." Xu Kai said seriously.
"Okay, then wait a moment." Dai Xuandao said and walked towards a secret room. After a while, he came out holding a brush that exuded an ancient atmosphere. There is nothing special about this pen other than its quaint vibe. If it were thrown outside, no one would think it was a dragon bone pen.
He handed the pen to Xu Kai.
Xu Kai accepted it solemnly.
"But Xu Kai, you didn't participate in the selection right away. If you want to climb Xuan Holy Mountain again, the only way is to climb up level by level. Are you ready?"
"Please rest assured Dai Zong, students have their own plans."
After that, Xu Kai turned and left.
Dai Xuandao looked at Xu Kai's leaving figure, frowned, and shouted: "Control your murderous intent."
"oh."
…
…
At the foot of Xuansheng Mountain, the selection is coming to an end.
Huang Tu stood on the 300th floor, looking at the fellows lying around and feeling at a loss.
It was obviously just a melee, but the two sides used a big move, and both of them were knocked out of the field and fell unconscious.
That move was extremely powerful, and Huang Tu suspected that it would be enough to use even on the 200th floor.
"Did I pass?" Huang Tu was confused. Originally he was just here to gain experience, but how could he actually get a spot by accident?
"Congratulations to Brother Huang Tu!" At the foot of the mountain, some people who belonged to the same show club as Huang Tu applauded Huang Tu and congratulated him, "Brother Huang Tu can actually win a spot. He will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
"No, no, no, the Maha Realm is too dangerous, so I won't go there." Huang Tu still knew how much money he had and was ready to give up and leave. But when he was about to move, he suddenly found that he could no longer move.
"This is?!" Huang Tu was suddenly startled, what happened?
He wanted to shout loudly, but suddenly found that he couldn't even speak.
"what happened?!"
"Huang Tu, don't panic." A voice suddenly sounded.
The voice was not loud, but when that figure appeared at the foot of Xuansheng Mountain, both the literati on the stage and the literati off the stage cast their gaze over him.
Kong Boxheng frowned.
Li He smiled.
However, the members of the show club who had greeted Huang Tu before suddenly covered their heads and screamed in pain.
Ignoring all the noise around him, Xu Kai took the stage.
He walked up to Huang Tu and patted his shoulder, and endless sharp energy surged towards him. Huang Tu suddenly felt his body lightened and able to move.
"Xu Kai, thank you very much. I'll go down immediately."
Xu Kai shook his head: "No need. Since I'm here and you rarely get a place, I will accompany you this time."
With that said, he stepped onto the 299th floor.
In the small pavilion on the 299th floor, a person on the opposite side raised his hands to Xu Kai and said: "I have met Your Excellency Xu Kai. Previously, there were rumors that Your Excellency did not plan to participate in this selection. I thought that Your Excellency would not come. ."
Xu Kai looked at the whisk in his hand and frowned: "Are you from the Tao family?"
"Exactly, from the lower Tao family..."
Xu Kai interrupted him directly: "How is your relationship with Li He?"
"Master Li He is a unique genius. I follow him, but I don't know that your Excellency Xu Kai..."
A sharp edge struck from the top of his head, cutting him in two from the center line of his body.
Xu Kai held the razor in his hand, glanced at the internal organs that slipped out of the body that was split in two, then withdrew his gaze and climbed to a higher level.
