The book in Zhang Yan's hand has changed to another volume. This time it’s about the demon clan. And I still borrowed it from the library of Jiangwuyuan. There were far more books inside than he had seen before in bookshops outside, and many of them were relatively rare contents.
"Competition next month?"
Putting down the book in his hand, Zhang Yan looked at Zhou Yun with surprise, who had just climbed out of the tub and was lying on the floor like mud after putting on his clothes. This kid is actually quite tough. The medicinal bath is already considered "unbearably painful", and he also needs to be beaten with a toothed stick. Although the double stimulation can strengthen the skin even more. At the end of each session, Zhou Yun would be like mud and take a long time to recover.
Just now, Zhou Yun told Zhang Yan that he was going to participate in the intra-hospital competition early next month. Go for a ranking.
"Yes, teacher. I will participate in the Body Tempering Realm competition!" Zhou Yun reluctantly stood up. Although the heat all over his body had subsided, the itching and soreness were still tormenting him, but it was much less severe than when he was in the bathtub before.
"Ha, you still want to compete for a ranking? Tsk tsk, you are only in the middle stage of the body tempering realm. Can you beat those babies in the later stage? Don't come back with a bruised face and a bruised face."
"No way! With the teacher's help this month, the toughness and endurance of my skin have increased by a full 30%! This has allowed me to learn two combat skills in the late stage of the body quenching realm. As long as you perform well, you will have a chance to get ranked."
The so-called ranking means entering the top ten. Anyone outside the top ten will not be considered ranked.
Once you get ranked, there will be some corresponding rewards, which are all from the Jiangwu Academy in Langyuan City, including muscle and bone powder, some high-quality weapons or armor, and sometimes some strange fruits or medicinal materials.
Zhou Yun is now in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, and he just broke through it two months ago. At his age, he is already considered to have a good level of cultivation. But in the past, he would not have participated in a competition in the Body Tempering Realm. It's not that I'm afraid of being beaten, but that I'm limited by combat skills. The actual combat ability between the middle and late stages of the body quenching realm is very obvious. In the middle stage, it's just like being beaten like a piece of meat, which is meaningless.
But the appearance of Zhang Yan and the initial results of the "Medicine for Refining Skin and Flesh" made Zhou Yun see the possibility of competing in the ring.
Why is the toughness and endurance of skin and flesh so important to warriors? Just because the threshold for displaying combat skills is often constructed by these two. The toughness and endurance of a warrior's skin represent how powerful combat techniques he can use. Otherwise, if you can't withstand the counter-shock force of the combat skills, you will only train yourself to death first if you learn them.
Zhou Yun, who is in the Body Tempering Realm, has greatly increased the toughness and endurance of his skin and flesh. He can no longer limit himself to the combat skills in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm step by step. Instead, he can skip the level and practice the combat skills that should be practiced in the later stages. Skills.
In fact, strictly speaking, the so-called combat skills in the body quenching realm are all "pseudo combat skills". Because outside the Martial Arts Academy, it is generally believed that combat skills are powerful moves that Kaiyuan realm warriors can only gradually use. In Zhang Yan's opinion, the so-called combat skills in the body-tempering realm are more like some physical techniques that focus on stimulating the ultimate strength of the physical body. It also lacks the gain of vitality and its power is very limited.
Of course, that's just Zhang Yan's opinion. The combat skills in the Body Tempering Realm in the Jiangwu Academy are not just useful in this realm. They actually pave the way for practicing real combat skills in the Kaiyuan Realm later. Moreover, this is a unique method in the martial arts academy and is not allowed to be spread to outsiders.
"As long as you have confidence in yourself, work hard." Counting the time, it was not long before the competition. It is not easy for Zhang Yan to dampen the opponent's enthusiasm. After all, fighting is not a bad thing. Although it is not as good as actual combat, it can still gain some combat experience.
This may be what Liu Renchuan, the director of the Langyuan City Martial Arts Academy, is happy to see. Otherwise, there would not be two hospital-wide competitions held every year. At the same time, there are ten permanent arenas in the Martial Arts Academy. As long as they are reported, under the care of the specialized arena referees, they can hold fights until the end, or even resolve personal grievances.
"Teacher, I heard that your other student is Princess Qingling?" After calming down, Zhou Yun got up from the floor and began to clean the tub he had used without being told. He asked Zhang Yan curiously as he picked up a book to pass the time.
"What? You want to meet her?" Zhang Yan laughed. For a half-grown child like Zhou Yun, a beautiful girl like Princess Qingling is definitely very attractive, and it is completely normal to be a little curious.
"No, no, no, I, I'm just curious why Princess Qingling didn't sign up to participate in the Kaiyuan Realm competition this time. She has never fallen behind before. Even if she lost, she fought very hard." Although Zhou Yun dodged Zhang Yan looked teasingly, but still asked the reason for his curiosity.
In fact, Zhang Yan's guess was correct. Princess Qingling is famous in the Martial Arts Academy in Langyuan City. Not only boys like Zhou Yun who are about the same age as her, but also some who are a few years older than her are also curious about her and have fantasies about her. In other words, there is no such thing as a courtyard beauty or school beauty in the Wild Sky Territory. Otherwise, Princess Qingling will definitely have a place.
As soon as the conversation started, Zhang Yan could only listen. Blinking his eyes, he realized that he, a student, was actually a die-hard fan of Princess Qingling. I don’t know where I got the information from, but it sounds very clear.
"There are less than two months until Princess Qingling returns to Yuanding Imperial City to participate in the arena with Huayue Shangguo. If she loses, Princess Qingling will be married to Huayue Shangguo as the marriage of this generation. . Maybe she didn’t participate in the recent intra-hospital competition because she wanted to accumulate strength for the last time, right? That’s probably the case.”
Zhou Yun still looked worried as he spoke. It seemed that Zhang Yan had a hard time holding back his laughter. But he also heard something that he had been curious about before. That is Princess Qingling has always been very impatient. It didn't look like the state of cultivation that a carefree princess should have. It was as if something was chasing her behind her.
So Zhang Yan interrupted Zhou Yun's words and asked: "Royal competition? What do you mean?"
"Huh? Teacher, don't you know? This is a long-standing practice between Nanyuan Kingdom and Huayue Shangguo. Each side chooses a princess to compete, and whoever loses will marry into the other side's royal family. But Nanyuan Kingdom Until now, Guo Jianguo has always been the loser. This time, the princess selected from the Nanyuan Kingdom is Princess Qingling. Her opponent is said to be a master in the late Kaiyuan Realm. And Princess Qingling is a master in the Kaiyuan Realm. Mid-term. Hey, I’m afraid it will be difficult again.”
Zhang Yan reacted when he heard this. This is not a competition, it is clearly Huayue Shangguo's constant discipline to Nanyuan Kingdom, using repeated failures to undermine the royal family's confidence in facing them. This method is somewhat sinister!
