Deep breath, stillness. Deep breath, stillness. Deep breath, stillness.
Thump!
His heart thumped strongly. With it as the center, the budding life force spread to his limbs and bones.
"Hiss — —"
Like a person waking up from drowning, a large amount of air was sucked into his lungs.
His chest moved, and his blood vessels recovered.
Yan Li suddenly opened his eyes, but was immediately forced to close them. He raised his hand to block, and slowly opened his eyes. The sky was already bright.
I'm still alive?
But there was no joy in his heart.
The lovely figure on the swing in the small courtyard had already disappeared.
She should be in the room, so why did his heart feel like it was being torn apart?
"The tournament has begun! You better get up and put on your clothes. Even if you're trash that can't even be helped up by the Art of Controlling Spirit, you still have to go up. "
A cold and disgusted voice suddenly sounded, and a pile of clothes was thrown down.
Yan Li turned his head and saw that it was Superintendent Qu Youfeng. The latter was looking at him with a cold and disgusted expression, as if there was an irreconcilable hatred between them.
He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Ever since Qu Youfeng knew that he was Yanshan Robber, his attitude had indeed changed greatly, but it would not have shown on his face before. What caused such a drastic change? In other words, what happened last night?
He thought that he was going to die, but he strangely came back to life.
His consciousness went down, and he found that the circulation of Yuan Qi was unimpeded, and there was nothing wrong with his body.
Qu Youfeng saw him like this, and became even more disgusted, "Hmph, only caring about yourself, you really are a selfish person."
Yan Li silently put on his clothes and stood up, and then said, "Who saved me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me!" Qu Youfeng coldly scolded.
"Who saved me?" Yan Li asked again.
"You better listen to me, or else I will strangle you to death." Qu Youfeng's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Yan Li slowly turned his head, and stared at him, and let out a low roar, "I'm asking you a question, answer me!"
A strong death grudge suddenly seeped out from his forehead, and the strange laughter of an Asura demon sounded.
Qu Youfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "Instructor Shen."
Yan Li turned around and strode towards Xiao Zhu's main room. He raised his hand to push the door open, but his hand hung in the air. After a moment of hesitation, he knocked on the door gently. "Mister."
Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but choke.
"Go ahead, the tournament is about to begin." Shen Liuyun's cold voice came from inside. However, apart from the coldness, there was also a hint of age.
Yan Li adjusted his mood and said, "Sir, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, a little tired …"
"Why do I feel that Sir is a little different?" Yan Li pressed on his heart.
"I didn't save you because I wanted to prove the miracle of life to you or because I have special feelings for you. You must remember that I'm keeping you alive for Dynasty and to end the civil war. You must defeat Qin Yiqiu … You must remember …"
His voice became softer and softer, like the ravings of an old man who was half-asleep.
Yan Li's hand clutched his heart tightly. He smiled and said, "Sir, maybe I'm starting to understand you. Life is really beautiful. At this moment, my heart is actually jumping for joy because I'm still alive. This is all thanks to you. I will defeat Qin Yiqiu, but peace is not so easy to obtain … I'm very grateful that you saved me, but peace is not so easy to obtain … "
He muttered and repeated as he walked further away.
Qu Youfeng looked at his back coldly. He was about to follow when he heard the ravings in the room again.
"You must remember … I want you to live … not us …"
…
The tournament between the two academies had to be held in an eye-catching place.
On the martial arts arena.
The high-rise buildings around the martial arts arena had been rented long ago for the purpose of today's tournament.
Although it was crowded, the spectators were separated from the martial arts arena. Only the participating students and the instructors who were in charge of judging and maintaining order were allowed to enter the arena. Therefore, the area around the martial arts arena was not as noisy.
When Yan Li arrived, the first match had already begun.
There were six students in the Inner Yard of the Academy. Yan Li had already been selected internally. Among the remaining five, one of them was supposed to be eliminated. However, Tang Sanghua used her old injury as an excuse to withdraw from the tournament. Therefore, the number of participants was just right.
"I heard that you did something exciting with Sister Drifting Cloud last night?" Tang Sanghua squinted at him and smiled. Although she had withdrawn from the tournament, she was still qualified to watch the tournament.
Obviously, what happened last night had not spread.
Lianhai Changjin waved her folding fan and smiled. "To be able to cause such a huge phenomenon, Instructor Shen's cultivation is really terrifying."
"What are you guys talking about?" Yan Li was slightly dazed.
"Don't you know?" Tang Sanghua blinked her beautiful eyes. "We all saw it last night. Why is it that you, Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu, can't see the whole picture?"
Yan Li said vaguely, "I was too tired from cultivating and fell asleep."
From the moment he woke up, the faint tearing pain in his heart had been lingering. At this moment, it had turned into a strong sense of unease.
"Brother Yan, what's wrong? You don't look too good. "Lianhai Changjin asked with concern.
"Young man, it's better to control yourself." Tang Sanghua said with an air of seniority.
"Oh, how long has it been, and your feelings have become like before. You really don't hold a grudge."
At this moment, Ye Qing walked over from the side and said in a strange tone, "As expected of the Killer Mandarin Ducks of Mount Kunyuan. Even I can't help but be envious."
Ma Guanshan's face was full of mockery. "When you open your mouth, I can smell the stench of feces. Aren't you afraid of disgusting the distinguished guests of Western Liang?"
"Ma Guanshan, one day I will make you beg for death!" Ye Qing stared at him with hatred.
"Stop arguing. Are you making a fool of yourself?" Qu Youfeng walked over and scolded coldly. "The Emperor and the Mountain Master are watching from above. The academy's success or failure is all on you. If you have time to argue, why don't you think about how to defeat the enemy?"
On the other side of the martial arts arena was the side of Western Liang led by Qin Guanyue. On the stage, the contestants from both sides were already in position.
The Grand Council sent out Shi Gandang. He had a body like a demonic bear and was extremely oppressive. He was the most suitable to be the vanguard.
The Academy sent out Luo Gensheng, a rash young man from the Military Ministry who hated the rebels of the dynasty to the bone. Because he was usually quiet, the people from the Grand Council gave him a nickname, Luo ErLeng.
"Luo ErLeng, I didn't expect to face you in the first round." Shi Gandang laughed sinisterly. "I know you have long been unhappy with the people of Western Liang. Since I can't fight with Yan Li, then I can smash your head to pieces. It will give me supreme pleasure. Attack quickly. If you are any slower, you won't have a chance to fight back. "
But in fact, Luo ErLeng was not rash at all. On the contrary, he was very smart. No one who could enter the Inner Yard was stupid.
"Your confidence is as ridiculous as your master's ambition to unify the Divine Land." Luo Gensheng sneered coldly. "Western Liang can't even conquer Bingzhou. In the end, it was defeated by a small bandit group. In my opinion, this rebellion is simply a funny clown show."
Shi Gandang was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Gensheng, who was usually quiet and couldn't make a fart, to be so eloquent. Then he was furious and rushed over with big strides.
Ever since he came to Yongling, he had been suppressing his brutal nature. He suppressed it and suppressed it. Today, he finally released it.
And this brought him a terrifying explosive force. Just like Luo Gensheng, he pretended to be deaf and mute for three months. Three months later, he made Shi Gandang crazy with one sentence.
However, Shi Gandang was different from other cultivators. The more crazy he was, the more terrifying his strength was.
The raging fire was like a flaming chariot. It arrived in front of Luo Gensheng, and a fist that was like a stone pot smashed down heavily. This was the most basic "military boxing" in the army. It was simple and violent without any fancy moves.
"Ha!" Luo Gensheng let out a low shout. The clothes on his upper body suddenly tore apart, revealing his strong muscles that didn't match his body shape.
It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but Luo Gensheng, who came from the military, also practiced "Military Straight Fist."
In a flash, Luo Gensheng also responded with a straight fist.
The big fist collided with the small fist.
Boom!
The violent sound of the explosion shook the eardrums of the people below the stage.
After the first sound, there was a second sound, a third sound …
Each sound represented a fierce collision. The two cultivators with terrifying strength used the crudest entry-level method to stage a thrilling battle.
It looked like they were evenly matched, but it wasn't. Shi Gandang had an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
Sure enough, after one collision, Luo Gensheng seemed to be unable to withstand the force, and his entire body fell backwards.
Shi Gandang let out a grin and took the opportunity to step forward. He reached out his hand, intending to grab Luo Gensheng's neck before he could adjust his body's balance.
Luo Gensheng gave a strange smile. His feet suddenly left the ground. His upper body fell backwards quickly, but his legs were like a whip that whipped upwards.
Shi Gandang couldn't control his strength, and his elbow was kicked by the tip of his foot, making a "Kacha" sound of bones breaking. But because of this, Luo Gensheng's entire body fell to the ground, exposing his weakness.
The sharp pain made Shi Gandang even more violent. Like a wounded demon bear, he pounced forward.
Luo Gensheng was panicked, but he didn't panic. He swung his right hand, and a strange object suddenly appeared and wrapped around his arm. There was a "Whoosh Whoosh" sound, and a flying shadow could be seen. It was the rarely seen meteor hammer.
That black iron ball full of thorns, after flying for an unknown number of rounds, suddenly smashed into Shi Gandang's abdomen.
Shi Gandang's forward momentum stopped. Not only did he stop, but his entire body was sent flying. Like a rag, he flew dozens of feet away. After falling down, he rolled several times before stopping.
He slowly climbed up, but he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Luo Gensheng expressionlessly stood up. He didn't wait for Shi Gandang to catch his breath. He waved the meteor hammer, and because he poured all of his energy into it, the iron ball seemed to become an energy bullet that emitted a black light.
In the next moment, accompanied by bursts of cheers, the meteor hammer loudly hit Shi Gandang's face.
But this time, there was no movement.
It was as if he had hit a mountain. Shi Gandang's body did not move at all.
The iron ball full of thorns stuck to his face and froze for a long time.
Then, Shi Gandang slowly raised his hand and peeled off the iron ball from his face, revealing a grinning face and a layer of pale yellow light.
The iron chains rattled, and Luo Gensheng, who was on the other end, was suddenly pulled over in surprise.
Boom!
