In the evening, Qingyu led Lin Shengsheng, who had been training for a day, back to the inn in Xiaoyue City.
"Derived you...what did you do!?"
In the inn, Ye Chunyu looked at Lin Yansheng, who had a dark face, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, obviously very surprised.
The reason why Ye Chunyu was so surprised was the image of the two masters and apprentices...
Qing Yu had not changed much, except for the slight wrinkles on her gray-white cloth robe, but Lin Shengsheng's appearance at this time was really unsightly.
The cloth was covered with streaks of yellow mud, and there were even two or three long holes in it.
His face was even more unreadable, with black marks criss-crossing it, and his dirty appearance was worse than that of a beggar on the street!
"You guys...what's going on?"
Ye Chunyu gently scratched Lin Yansheng's dirty face like a tabby cat. First, he glanced at the charcoal black on his jade fingers that was in sharp contrast to her jade-like skin with some disgust, and then looked at her with some doubts. Qingyu, the meaning expressed in his eyes is very clear:
Did you take him to a mud pit?
"Oh... this, it's nothing, pff... I just helped him train, so I was a little late, haha..."
Qingyu glanced at Lin Yanshen, who looked hopeless beside him, jokingly, and couldn't help but laugh.
"...Haha... what master said is..."
Hearing Qing Yu's words, Lin Yansheng showed a smile that was uglier than crying and glared at Qing Yu fiercely.
train? Have you ever been trained like this?
Lin Yansheng gritted his teeth. He had been tortured by Qingyu this afternoon. It was fine at first. Qingyu also hit him in order according to the thirty-six steps of Soul Step and let him use them. Footwork to avoid.
But after two hours of sparring like this, when he gradually found the feeling, Qingyu suddenly changed his attack method, that is, disrupted the order of the Soul Steps!
For example, when Lin Yansheng originally followed the fifth step, Qingyu directly followed the tenth step. How could Lin Yansheng, who was not familiar with it, avoid it? He could only be knocked off his back and fell hard.
After practicing for such a day, one can imagine Lin Shengsheng's end.
When he came back and walked on the street, the surrounding residents looked at Lin Shengsheng with genuine pity. He even heard a woman pointing at him and saying to the child next to him:
"If you don't go to private school properly, you will be just like him in the future!"
Lin Yansheng naturally ran away, covering his face as he ran away. He really couldn't afford to embarrass that person!
Because the psychological activity at this time was too intense, even though he was trying his best to restrain himself, Lin Yansheng's facial expression was still very exciting, which made Ye Chunyu on the side scratch his hair helplessly.
Ignoring the dirt on Lin Yansheng's body, Ye Chunyu stretched out her hand, grabbed Lin Yansheng's arm, and dragged him directly to the back room.
"Let's go take a shower!"
After Lin Yansheng had taken a shower and changed into new clothes, Ye Chunyu happened to prepare dinner. Following the aroma, Lin Yansheng jumped onto the dining table as if he was flying.
Probably knowing that Lin Yansheng would be very tired from practicing today, Ye Chunyu specially cooked a large table of dishes, which made Lin Yansheng extremely happy. After all, practicing the Soul Step today was really not an ordinary tiring exercise.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Looking at Lin Yansheng enjoying his meal at the dining table, Ye Chunyu shook his head and smiled, while reaching out and touching the wet stains on his forehead.
Qingyu, on the other hand, smiled and said nothing, just minding his own business and eating hard.
"Derivative, the enrollment quota for Lei Xiaowu Mansion has been reduced, and Tiannan County can only recruit ten people."
After a while, seeing that Lin Shengsheng had almost eaten, Qingyu slowly spoke.
"Hmm...only recruiting ten people?"
Lin Yansheng, who was stuffing something into his mouth, gave a sharp move and suddenly raised his head, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes.
This enrollment rate is...a bit low.
You know, there are one or two hundred contestants in Zifeng City alone. If this is expanded to the entire Tiannan County, the number of contestants will be at least ten times more. But only ten people are recruited out of thousands of people?
"I have already inquired. In this election, there are about fifteen people who will have the tenth level of physical training. There are also some people who are not at the level of cultivation, but have amazing family backgrounds, extraordinary martial arts knowledge, and unparalleled combat power. Look down on."
Qingyu tapped her fingers on the table and said with a half-smile: "These people are all your opponents."
Hearing this news, Lin Yansheng also slowly frowned. Obviously, he did not expect that there would be so many troublesome people in this election.
The tenth level of body training... This realm is only one step away from the blood tempering realm. In the entire Zifeng City, Zhang Junxi is probably the only one who can reach this step!
Obviously, throughout Tiannan County, among the younger generation in many cities, there are also experts like Lin.
"Master, what do you think is the chance of winning if I fight with them?"
Lin Yansheng looked at Qingyu and asked cautiously. Although he has encountered many adventures since he started practicing, he will not be arrogant enough to think that he can win steadily compared with those young masters who have been famous for a long time.
Although he has now reached the "preliminary blood tempering" state, and refining one level of body is equivalent to others refining two levels, his level of eight levels of body training is still a bit low. If you really want to calculate it, although his physical strength can surpass the overwhelming Most of the warriors who are at the ninth level of body training, but compared with those masters who are at the tenth level of body training, I am afraid there is still some gap.
And the most important thing is... who said that none of the young masters from the big families in Tiannan County can reach the preliminary stage of blood tempering?
"Hmph, if you meet those people now? I'm afraid you will definitely fail."
Qingyu shook his head and said angrily: "Not to mention the distance, Zhang Junxi's eighth achievement in Zifeng City is not something you can compete with now."
Lin Yansheng nodded without much surprise, and he didn't feel disappointed at all. How long had he been practicing martial arts? It's only been two months. Compared with those geniuses who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, there is a gap, which is normal.
Moreover, since Qingyu mentioned this matter, he would probably have a solution, right?
As expected, after stabbing Lin Shengcheng in two sentences, Qingyu gave hope: "But after all, there are still two months. During this period, if you can practice well, the situation may not be able to change."
"I have set up three training tasks for you. If you can complete them, then I think this election should not be a problem for you."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Lin Yansheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He hung his hands on his legs and sat upright, with an open-minded look on his face.
Qingyu's face became slightly solemn and she said in a deep voice:
"First of all, you must at least upgrade your cultivation to the ninth level of body training within these two months. Remember, this is the minimum."
"Well, this shouldn't be a big problem."
After a rough estimate, Lin Yansheng nodded lightly. This task was nothing to him. With his current training speed, he was sure to break through the ninth level of body training within a month and a half.
"Well, the second requirement... is that you must master the moves in "Body Strengthening and Tendon Changing Technique". At least, you must fully master the main moves against enemies!"
Qingyu naturally knew Lin Shengsheng's cultivation speed, so he immediately told the second task.
"This...should be fine too."
Hearing this task, Lin Yansheng touched his chin. This task was much more difficult than the previous one. After all, there are thirty-six movements in the body-building Yijin Technique, each with its own magic. It is not that easy to fully master it. Easy.
However, Qingyu has already said that as long as he masters the main moves against the enemy, namely "Dragon Tail Swing" and "Inducing Qi to punch", it will be much easier. After all, he has already mastered "Dragon Tail Swing". Once you have fully completed your cultivation, and with this foundation, the rest will be much easier.
"Okay, then the last task..."
Having said this, Qingyu took a deep breath, and her voice became a few minutes lower again: "Stepping on the soul, I ask you to touch the realm of 'controlling yourself'!"
Control yourself?
Lin Yansheng's eyes twitched fiercely. Is it such a high request?
He hasn't even mastered Xuan Bu yet, but Qing Yu allowed him to touch a higher level of control than Xuan Bu before the big exam?
Qingyu's eyes also shone with a faint glare, staring sharply at Lin Yansheng.
Even Ye Chunyu, who had been watching the excitement, turned his eyes and looked over with interest.
They all wanted to see Lin Shengsheng's reaction under this somewhat difficult task.
"How should I put it? This is also the last request. If you can do it, then the question should be..."
"Has my participation quota been confirmed?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Shengsheng asked such a question.
"...? Confirmed. The Zhang family has not erased your quota. You will compete in Zifeng City."
When asked this question, both of them were stunned. After looking at each other, Qingyu nodded.
"oh?"
Hearing such an answer, Lin Yansheng's lips curled up slightly, and he laughed a little coldly: "It seems that the young master of the Zhang family is quite reasonable!"
After muttering to himself a few times, Lin Yansheng looked back at Qingyu again:
"Just these three tasks, right? Okay, no problem. You guys eat slowly while I go to practice."
After saying these few words in a neutral tone, Lin Yansheng put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked back to his room.
The Qingyu couple were left looking at each other.
"This reaction... seems to be different from what I thought?"
Looking at the vacant seat, Ye Chunyu patted Qingyu on the shoulder and asked with a slight frown, obviously a little confused about Lin Shengsheng's reaction.
"It's different? Haha, we seem to have underestimated this little guy."
Different from Ye Chunyu's reaction, after a brief surprise, Qingyu's expression returned to normal. He looked at Lin Yansheng's door and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It's not because my last task is easy, but because he has high demands on himself. Perhaps, he originally planned to achieve the state of 'self-control' before the election."
He leaned against his wife's body and closed his eyes lightly. Between his eyelids, his eyes showed the depth of wisdom.
"oh?"
Ye Chunyu looked at it with interest. This soul-stepping step is not simple. Does it make you feel so good?
"Maybe it's not blind confidence, it's just confidence in his own strength. In addition, he also knows that this is a hurdle he has to face, so why complain?"
Qingyu chuckled twice, seemingly very satisfied with Lin Yansheng's reaction.
When a truly strong person faces difficulties, his first thought is never to escape or bargain!
"It looks like he has really grown up a lot this month."
Ye Chunyu smiled softly and put her arms around Qingyu's body: "Who knows, but if he can do this, maybe we can feel more at ease when we leave."
"Um……"
