There were only two people sitting in the maple leaf forest.
One person was worried.
The other person seemed to have accepted the reality, with only helplessness on his face.
Guo Yi laughed twice, which was a bit self-deprecating, "Actually, I know that my own cultivation level ends here, but I lie to myself over and over again that I just don't have the resources to improve my cultivation level. "
"Junior brother, to be honest, when you tested your cultivation to reach the ninth level, I was a little scared and unhappy. I was afraid that you would usurp the position of head of the house after entering the country. I was also thinking about Bai Jing and those who gave me face. He lied to himself because he was strong in cultivation. "
"Actually, I know that I am actually a waste of martial arts training. This path is not my path, but I didn't expect you to reject Bai Jing. It seems that my old face still has some use."
Seeing Guo Yi's ashen face, Gu Xiaotian wanted to speak, but all the words were stuck in his throat and could not be said.
Guo Yi was still talking to himself: "I have been lying to myself. I lied to myself that Bai Jing has no ambition. I am also a little angry at those geniuses. Why is God so unfair? Only those geniuses can reach a higher level. But I'm just an ordinary person."
God is so unfair sometimes. There are very few geniuses in this world. They can reach heights that ordinary people cannot reach, and those are only a few.
And I will always be just an ordinary person, like a grain of sand in the dust, which will be blown away by the wind.
Guo Yi had long noticed the blood on Gu Xiaotian's hands and neck, and looked at Gu Xiaotian again, "Junior brother, you are more talented than me, and you will reach higher places. It seems that I really should give up my position. ”
Only then did Gu Xiaotian realize that because of his natural hegemony, he was holding Bai Jing's dagger and felt no pain at all when the dagger cut his palm, so that others noticed what he didn't notice.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter. Just bandage it and it will be fine. Brother Guo, please don't give up." Gu Xiaotian comforted Guo Yi. This was of course sincere.
Before time travel, Gu Xiaotian was just an ordinary person, even worse than Guo Yi.
The two of them seemed to have some empathy.
Guo Yi waved his hand, smiled helplessly, and looked at the maple trees around him. This was where he usually practiced martial arts secretly alone.
He wants to improve his swordsmanship every day. Only in this way can he explore martial arts and find a higher realm.
But it was all in vain.
He has no expert guidance, no Wufeng resources, and no extraordinary talent like Gu Xiaotian.
"Junior brother, don't comfort me anymore. Oh my, this is good." Seeing Gu Xiaotian's expression of wanting to speak but hesitating, Guo Yi interrupted Gu Xiaotian directly.
After that, Guo Yi stood up, took out his sword, and started dancing in the maple leaf forest.
The wind picked up again, and Guo Yi fought with the wind as if he was being inspired.
The sword edge flashed past at high speed, and Guo Yi himself tumbled several times in the air before falling to the ground and slashing horizontally.
A sword mark was left on the trunk of the maple tree, and the sword was passed 180 degrees above the head from left to right, chopping into the soft ground.
With the help of the sword stuck in the ground, he pushed hard, his body rose into the air, turned around in the air, and then landed on the ground in comfort.
As the wind sounded faster and louder, the sword in Guo Yi's hand became faster and faster, slashing horizontally and vertically, leaving sword marks on every tree trunk.
Until the wind gradually slowed down, the sword in Guo Yi's hand also slowed down.
I saw him moving left and right, dodging quickly in all directions. When he drew his sword, it only faced one direction. It was fast and powerful. You could also see a slight sword energy coming out of the air. It seemed like stars were shining, but it quickly disappeared here. In the wind, every time the sword was drawn out, every time it flashed, it finally fell back to where it was.
Only those stars were shining brightly, only to disappear in a second.
Until the wind subsided, Guo Yi's last starlight had been extinguished, and he put away his sword, as if saying his final farewell.
"That's it, junior brother, this is a move that senior brother has been pondering over the years. I hope it will be helpful to you." Guo Yi said to Gu Xiaotian, and walked out of the maple forest alone with his sword in hand.
Gu Xiaotian only felt that Guo Yi was not the loser he said he was. He thought this sword style seemed very interesting.
With the help of the wind, Guo Yi used the wind to push slightly every time he flashed in the direction, but Guo Yi did not use the whole body's true energy to merge with the sword and wind.
If it can be improved, it might be a very powerful killing move!
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xiaotian felt that his mind suddenly became enlightened.
...
In the evening, inside the house.
Guo Yi was already lying on the kang and fast asleep, but Bai Jing was nowhere to be seen. The other disciples in the room were sitting around eating beef and drinking wine.
Gu Xiaotian only felt that he had experienced too much this day, which was completely different from his previous life of hanging around restaurants.
He just felt that there were still too many things in this world that he had not touched, and he didn't know what would happen tomorrow.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Guo Yi woke up Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian rubbed his eyes and began to regret again.
This Taibai outer courtyard can't even wake up naturally, so what is it doing?
After simply putting on his clothes and washing his face, Gu Xiaotian followed Guo Yi who was waiting at the door and walked out of the room to the martial arts training platform.
Gu Xiaotian glanced around the martial arts training platform and found Bai Jing, who was standing side by side with Luo Ruiming, staring at Gu Xiaotian bitterly. It could be seen that he was unwilling to fail to achieve his goal yesterday.
Although there were more than a hundred disciples in this martial arts training platform, no one was whispering. Just as Gu Xiaotian was about to ask Guo Yi why he was so quiet, Guo Yi directly interrupted him with a gesture, and stared at him with a dark and solemn expression. The highest top of the martial arts training platform.
Not long after, an old man came out rubbing his hands and muttering: "It's autumn, so it's cold."
When all the disciples in the martial arts training platform saw the old man coming out, they all bowed deeply and shouted in unison: "Hello, elder!"
With a smile on his face, the old man pressed his hands and coughed twice. A young man following the old man stepped forward, spread out the paper in his hand, and said loudly: "The resource war allocation list is now announced!"
Gu Xiaotian's eyes widened a bit and he looked at the old man on the stage.
The old man on the stage was the same one Hao Hao sent to the outer courtyard to greet him!
I could hear the young man on the stage shouting the names of all the disciples in the audience. Some were happy, while others looked like they were about to cry without tears.
"Gu Xiaotian, Zhang Hui! The reading is over." As the young man closed the paper, the final arrangement of the two people came out.
The old man on the stage also slowly drank the last cup of tea, then stood up and said: "Okay, okay, let's all go back and get ready."
Then he walked off the high platform on his own. When the old man got off the high platform, everyone on the martial arts training platform who had been silent began to discuss like a volcano erupting.
Gu Xiaotian pulled Guo Yi and asked: "Senior Brother Guo, didn't you say that the Ten Houses Resource War is still a month away? How come the battle schedule is arranged so early, and it's not which house will fight which house."
"This is not a resource war for the Ten Houses, but a personal resource war. This resource war is an important part of deciding whether to enter the Ninth House."
It's normal for you to be confused when you first arrive. The opponents assigned to you in the personal resource battle will not set up an arena for you to compete in like the ten-house resource battle. Instead, you can start the battle anytime and anywhere. "
"There are also many strong people who often fall prey to underhanded tricks. There will also be observers arranged by the elders in the division to record at any time whether the two of you will be the winner. There will be a total of three rounds of competition, and the winner after three rounds will be Receive resources.”
Guo Yi kept explaining all aspects of personal resource war to Gu Xiaotian.
"In the personal resource battle, the Ninth Academy disciples of the Ninth Academy will generally not participate in the battle. They have fixed resources every month, and this is just one of the ways to improve their rankings. Of course, there is also a Ninth Academy disciple who will return to participate in the battle, okay. He's not your opponent in the first round."
"When your ranking reaches a certain level, you will naturally receive attention. With your ability, I believe this will happen sooner or later."
Guo Yi talked for a long time before he finished talking about the pros and cons. As for the pros and cons, Gu Xiaotian also understood. Just like the Ten Houses also have strengths and weaknesses, naturally the Ninth House also has them.
But isn't it my master's duty to come to the outer courtyard this time to give me a good training?
For the first time, Gu Xiaotian felt as if his blood was burning. He couldn't wait to see the rules of this martial arts world.
After Guo Yi finished speaking, he told Gu Xiaotian to go on his own.
Ever since he talked to Gu Xiaotian about his feelings yesterday, he seemed to have taken everything lightly and didn't care who his opponent was. Instead, he felt a sense of relief.
Gu Xiaotian looked around and saw Bai Jing walking over.
Bai Jing smiled, but it made Gu Xiaotian feel very uncomfortable, "Junior Brother Gu, you are lucky, I got Zhang Hui, but in the resource war, it is not just luck that determines success or failure. I hope you will not fight with me. .”
Gu Xiaotian is too lazy to talk to Bai Jing now, and he has never had a good look towards such a traitor.
When Bai Jing saw that Gu Xiaotian ignored him, he wasn't angry, but he wisely left.
Gu Xiaotian naturally heard what Bai Jing said. Bai Jing said that he was lucky, so it seemed that Zhang Hui was not a strong person.
But it’s better to be careful in everything.
After all, Guo Yi told himself that he could start a war anytime and anywhere, and he could also use dirty tricks. He didn't want to lose immediately before he could show off his skills.
...
In the maple forest.
The sun reached its highest point in an instant.
Gu Xiaotian was alone in Maple Leaf Forest, pondering over the swordsmanship that Guo Yi showed him yesterday.
He found that he could not achieve the effect he wanted no matter what. It was easy to say that it was easy to use the power of the wind, but it was not easy at all to do it by himself.
Gu Xiaotian was dancing with his sword in his hands. When he tried again and again, he only heard a few applause from the distance.
Looking for a voice, I saw the so-called elder from this morning walking into the maple forest with a smile on his face and clapping his hands.
