When he got home, Shen Hao did not fall asleep. Instead, he meditated in his bedroom, replacing sleep with practice.
Now that he has the "Great Five Elements Jue", Shen Hao is worried that his practice speed is too fast.
Now that the fifth level of the God-Gathering Realm has been filled up by Shen Hao, within reach is the small realm bottleneck of the sixth level of the God-Gathering Realm. If others have reached this level, they will definitely be working hard to break through the bottleneck and try to improve. But Shen Hao didn't panic at all. Instead, he kept tempering his foundation. He would rather waste some time than let himself be conceited before breaking through.
But even with such caution, the day to advance to the sixth level of the God Gathering Realm is still getting closer. According to Shen Hao's estimation, he would not be able to suppress the surge of true energy in his body by late May at the latest, and he would have to start attacking the sixth level bottleneck.
In fact, it is better to say that it is an impact than a "tearing apart", because at least the bottlenecks in the small realms before the Yuan Dan realm are no hindrance to him.
A night of silence.
The next day, as soon as Shen Hao arrived at the public house, he saw Wang Yiming waiting at the door.
"What's up?"
"Sir, what happened at the school grounds yesterday became a joke. Early in the morning, the chief officers of the four hundred household offices below were scolded bloody by Mr. Kuang in the meeting hall." Wang Yiming looked like he was gloating about his misfortune.
"Haha, didn't you go see it yesterday? How about it?"
Just yesterday, the "big arena" that Kuang Shengyuan took the lead was officially held in the garrison's campus. Basically, all the four hundred-household offices in Fengri City's jurisdiction attended except for the necessary left-behind personnel. Of course, the members of the Black Flag Battalion did not go, and they were not even called.
Shen Hao was invited, but he made an excuse not to go. It's not that you don't give face, but that you make a choice after weighing the left and right. We knew that the "big arena" was unreliable, and we had the jewels in the previous "big competition" in front of us, but we couldn't imagine what the outcome would be. If he were present, Kuang Shengyuan's face would probably be even worse.
Now it seems to be prescient.
Shen Hao didn't go, but Wang Yiming did. I went to help out, and at the same time, I also helped the Black Flag Battalion get a name.
"Sir, it's just like the name they named it. It's all about the arena competition and nothing else."
When Shen Hao heard this, his hand holding the tea paused. He turned around and said with a smile, "Is the whole process just a competition in the ring? Is there really nothing else?"
If it were a sect, the competition in the ring might still be called "exciting", all because the monks of the sect are not comparable to the casual cultivators in terms of cultivation and methods. At least the celebration of Chang Baifeng, a second-rate sect before. The competition opened Shen Hao's horizons. But the competition in the Xuanqing Guard's Hundred Households Institute was... just... boring.
Think about it, a group of people in the Qi Refining Realm, up to the first and second levels of the God Gathering Realm, slashing at each other with wild goose spine knives in the ring... Maybe you can watch one or two games, but four Hundreds of households, all compared like this...
"At that time, Mr. Jiang's face turned dark and he didn't speak the whole time. Even when he went up to present the award, he had a straight face and few words. In the end, he watched the end abruptly and didn't even pay attention to Mr. Kuang's banquet. Mr. Qianshi even watched half of it. He just left without saying hello."
Shen Hao was very happy to hear this. Jiang Cheng probably went to help Kuang Shengyuan support the scene. He had also heard the news before, saying that Kuang Shengyuan initially wanted to imitate the "Great Competition" and invite some heavyweight guests to attend, but in the end time was too tight, and the conductor Pang Pangren directly rejected the invitation and asked a conductor to take over. Things happen.
"There is no need to gloat about misfortune. We are all Xuanqing Guards. Don't draw lines for yourself and make internal distinctions. You should ventilate this matter to the brothers below and tell them not to come and ridicule, so as not to get into trouble."
"I have already explained this to the people below, don't worry."
If Kuang Shengyuan loses someone this time, he will definitely find a way to make amends. The simplest thing is to learn the various trainings of Black Flag Camp, and then join in in advance when Black Flag Camp holds a "big competition" next time.
Shen Hao actually doesn't mind making the "competition" larger-scale, but the rules will have to be clearly defined when the time comes.
After gathering his thoughts, Shen Hao opened the paperwork on the table and started busy.
...
After Youzheng, Shen Hao was reminded by the concierge that Butler Hu was at home.
Hu Tian?
Shen Hao then packed up the things on the table and went out for a business trip. As soon as he left the gate of Qianhusuo, he saw Hu Tian standing on the roadside. He wanted to come over anxiously but hesitated. Even Hu Tian instinctively did not dare to approach the gate of Xuanqing Guard.
"Master Shen, Master Nie is here."
"Master Nie? Is Nie Yun here?"
"Yes, Mr. Nie arrived not long after noon. I asked to call you, but Mr. Nie refused, saying that he would not disturb you on your errands. It is past the time for your errands. I guess you must be busy. I forgot the time and was worried that you wouldn't go back, so I came here."
"Let's go."
Nie Yun is Shen Hao's good friend, mentor and friend. Now that his friend was visiting, Shen Hao was naturally in a happy mood. He urged Hu Tian to get on the carriage and asked the guards to drive home quickly.
"Master Shen, don't be anxious. Master Nie didn't wait any longer. I asked Li Erfu to serve Master Nie his specialty snacks. I also brought three jars of the best Wuliangye from the wine cellar to Master Nie. Now Master Nie can drink it. I'm so happy, I'm playing with Red Silk and Jinxiu."
"What? Fisting with Hong Silk and Jinxiu?!"
Shen Haodao taught Nv Xia how to "chop firewood", and it was probably Nv Xia who taught her the red silk and brocade. Nie Yun also knows how to "chop firewood randomly", which was also taught by Shen Hao. It's just that... boxing with two kids... let alone Nie Yun can do it.
Hu Tian continued to laugh on the side and said: "That's not true. Master Nie drank when he lost, and Hong Silk and Jinxiu drank sour juice when they lost. When I left, we were rowing in the backyard in full swing."
"Where's Natsu?"
"I was kicked away by Master Nie. He said it was inconvenient for Xia Nu to serve me."
Shen Hao smiled and shook his head after hearing this. You said that Nie Yun Er is not reliable, and it is true. In many cases, he does not look like a powerful monk who has perfected the Yuan Dan realm. But there are some things that I am very careful about, and I never leave anything to say to others.
The carriage went very fast, and when it arrived at the door, it was just in time to see Pony coming out of the wine cellar holding a wine jar.
"Give it to me. Let Li Erfu get some good food and bring it to the backyard." Shen Hao took the wine jar from Xiao Ma's hand and carried it to the backyard.
The sound of punches could be heard in the distance.
"The wind on Mountain (3) is very strong. Come and play for the next two days..."
"Good brother, please get up and go!"
...
What shocked Shen Hao was that Nie Yun was actually being suppressed and yelled. Every movement of his hands was judged by Hong Silk and Jinxiu. He was always hit in three or five blows, and he could lose seven out of ten punches.
Moreover, Shen Hao discovered that Nie Yun was not deliberately letting off steam, and that his punches were not good at all. He lost because the two little brats Hong Silk and Jinxiu were really awesome!
"Oops! Why did you lose again?! Are you sure you didn't cheat?"
"Master Nie, how could we..."
"Okay, okay, come on, come on, your master is back, I won't fight with you anymore, it's boring!"
Shen Hao: "..."
After all, you are also one of the dignified Jingxi Double Eagles, with a great reputation. Can you show some respect?
