Chapter 18 Chapter Fifteen
After Wan Jiansheng left, everyone was still immersed in their comprehension of kendo.It wasn't until half an hour later that some people got up one after another, and left here with a look of unsatisfied expression.
After a while, I also recovered from the comprehension.After receiving the sword light, I said with emotion: "Master Wan Jiansheng's kendo is really amazing. If you can often listen to the teachings, you will benefit a lot and improve your kendo."
Although Liu Yuanteng looked indifferent, the expectation in his eyes betrayed his current mood.He said lightly: "You can find out when the four-star guardian's courses start."
"You guys have a good idea, and you want to hear Mr. Wan Jiansheng's lessons often. You are lucky to be able to hear it this time." The visitor has eyebrows like sharp swords, eyes like stars, and skin as white as jade , with well-proportioned facial features, handsome and handsome, dressed in a beautiful white dress, with a sword hanging on his waist, with a noble bearing.
The appearance of the visitor brightened our eyes, and we almost thought it was an old acquaintance from another land. In the Guardian Alliance, we saw another earthling besides the three of us, because we could hardly tell the difference in appearance between a human and an earthling.
But from her temperament and dressing style, I believe whether it is me, Liu Yuandeng or Sur, can clearly tell that she is definitely not a human from the earth.
Although this person was dressed in men's clothing, she was graceful and graceful, obviously a beautiful woman.However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she revealed the arrogance from the bottom of her heart, which still made people feel a little displeased.
Her eyes full of aura showed pure curiosity, looked back and forth between the three of us, and said curiously: "You seem to be from the same planet, and your comprehension of kendo is so high, it's amazing It's amazing. Your talents are considered top-notch even on other planets."
It can be seen that her compliment is sincere, although the compliment sounds a bit condescending, but I still politely said: "Thank you for the compliment, the three of us are indeed from the same planet."
Su Er just glanced at her lightly, obviously not interested in making friends with a girl who pretends to be old but is actually very innocent, and her peerless beauty obviously doesn't have much power over Liu Yuandeng.
"You can call me..." She turned her beautiful eyes, revealing a innocent and sly look, and said, "You can call me Xihui."
Obviously this is a pseudonym used to conceal her female identity. The three of us did not point out her intentional concealment of her female identity, but only reported the names one by one.
She seemed to be very familiar with the Guardian Alliance, so Liu Yuanteng asked: "I don't know how to listen to Master Wan Jiansheng's lessons often?"
Xihui turned to Liu Yuanteng with a jade-like cheek and said, "A four-star guardian like Master Wan Jiansheng may not have a class once a year. This time the class is held because of the regulations of the Guardian Alliance. There is a class once in a while, so if you want to hear his class often, you'd better stop dreaming."
I asked curiously: "Master Wan Jiansheng, does this only teach this lesson on the principles of the way of the sword?"
She curled her lips and said, "That's how they are. They like to pretend to be gods and play ghosts. They always say a little bit miserly every time, and let others understand it by themselves. Hmph, if I can understand it by myself, do I still need to come to the class? They are all cheapskate."
Her attitude was casual, without the slightest respect for Wan Jiansheng.No matter for me, Liu Yuandeng or Sur, the four-star guardian Wan Jiansheng is currently beyond our reach.For such a strong man, we will naturally feel awe when we look up at the mountains.
Although she has good talent and the energy surging in her body is at the peak of the sixth level, but she has not gone through a life-and-death battle at first glance, and is a flower that grew up in a greenhouse.
What right does she have to not be in awe of Wan Jiansheng?There is only one explanation, she can often come into contact with such a strong person, so she loses her awe.The power behind her is at least at the same level as Wan Jiansheng, or even higher, and her words also revealed such a message.
I, Liu Yuandeng, and Sur are all people with rich experience. Just from her words, I immediately guessed that she must have a noble status in the Guardian Alliance, and may be a descendant of a powerful Guardian.With this understanding, Su Er's demeanor obviously became much more enthusiastic.
She sized my face over and over again, with a serious expression and said with dissatisfaction: "You are so powerful, you can comprehend Wan Jiansheng's way of swords so quickly, I thought I would be the first A person who comprehends the way of the sword and inspires sword energy."
I pondered for a while and said, "Perhaps I should be called thick and thin, not because I have extraordinary talent. I have always had a deep understanding of kendo. Master Wan Jiansheng's explanation of kendo made me change from quantitative to qualitative."
"Really?" She was obviously dissatisfied with my explanation, "I'm a genius born once in a hundred years. If you can comprehend sword art one step ahead of me, it proves that you are very good. Although the chances of you becoming guardians are very low , but I still hope that you will be lucky enough to become guardians."
Her words were not polite, but the sincerity in her tone clearly came from the heart.It makes it hard to blame her for speaking too directly.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your blessing, we will try our best to become guardians."
She seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, causing her entire face to eclipse everyone else, and she said cheerfully: "Well, I thought of a method that can increase your success rate."
If someone else said this sentence, we would probably ignore it as if it were a deaf ear, but since she said it, we have to pay attention to it.
Seeing that the three of us showed great importance to her words, she seemed very happy, and said: "Well, if you want to become a guardian, the most important thing is to survive. Every time a guardian is selected, the mortality rate As high as more than 50%. The second is to refine your own guardian monument. Only by refining the guardian monument can you be recognized by the Guardian Alliance, and the manual that records the method of refining the guardian monument is very complete, but The success rate of refining the guardian monument in this way is not high."
"Wait!" I said, "We haven't seen the manual for refining the guardian monument yet."
"There is such a thing?" She frowned, her delicate and beautiful eyebrows curved into crescent moons, and said in doubt, "Did your steward forget to give this to you? This is a very important matter, how can he be so slack! Father is right, the current Guardian Alliance is not as vibrant as it used to be. Hmph, when you go back, ask your steward for it, this is the duty entrusted to him by the Guardian Alliance."
"Let's talk about your method first." Sur said.
She said: "Well, come with me, I will take you to a place where you can have a deeper understanding of how to refine the guardian monument. If you can understand the method of refining the guardian monument there, the Guardian Alliance will launch The manual is dispensable."
Tatarut also emphasized the importance of the guardian monument to us. It can be seen that whether the guardian monument can be refined is the key factor for becoming a guardian.
As soon as we walked out of the hall with her, two tall warriors who had been guarding outside came over.Both of them were wrapped in armor, and the black armor looked extremely thick.The two of them are four meters tall, and they can't tell what race they are. Coupled with the heavy armor and the big knife hanging on their bodies like a tree trunk, the two of them are like two hills that can move, giving people a strong sense of oppression .
"Little master." The two of them greeted Xihui respectfully, and at the same time released a strong pressure to force us.
"Stop it, be polite to my friend!" Xi Hui glared at one of the soldiers with his star eyes, and scolded dissatisfiedly.
The two soldiers obediently withdrew the pressure they released on us, but they still stood behind Xihui on one left and one on the right, and kept a certain distance to protect her in the middle.At this distance, they can react the fastest, attacking the enemy or defending their master.
In the short contact just now, I can feel that these two fighters of unknown race are very powerful, at least level 8 in strength, and there is a violent and ferocious aura faintly exuding from the armor. It can even burst out the power of level nine in a short period of time, and it is a very terrifying fighter.It can be deduced from this that Xihui's true identity must be very special, which further strengthens our confidence in her.
We had just taken two steps when suddenly a malicious voice sounded behind us: "Stop, you dirty little mice."
I turned around, and suddenly saw Lu Ji and a few people walking towards us like a mountain of meat.I was a little stunned for a while, because I tried to cheat the three of us for a place to attend a class and was found out, and I swear at us. I didn't expect to call my friends and friends to find help afterwards, and I didn't want to give up.
As soon as we stopped, Luji and his friends stood in front of us, spread out a certain distance and formed a fan shape, vaguely enveloping us.
There was a gloomy cold light in Lu Ji's small eyes, and he said: "Little mice, we meet again. If you dare to provoke Uncle Lu Ji, before I kill you, quickly give away your things. Maybe Uncle Lu Ji will be happy." I will spare you."
Liu Yuanteng said disdainfully: "Pretentious, what do you think, what can you do?"
Su Er also sneered, and said: "Stop talking big, do you dare to do something in the Guardian Temple?"
Lu Ji scanned the three of us back and forth, and said viciously: "It seems that you are not serious, you don't know how powerful Uncle Lu Ji is." A piece of miserable green light was emitted, and the light quickly condensed into a ferocious one-eyed giant frog.As soon as the one-eyed giant frog appeared, Lu Ji's aura suddenly soared several times, and the invisible pressure squeezed us fiercely.
I was in a trance for a while, and an illusion appeared in my mind, as long as the one-eyed giant frog opened its mouth, I would be irresistibly swallowed by the one-eyed giant frog.
As soon as the illusion was created, it was destroyed by a burst of sword energy that suddenly appeared in his body.This is the "shattering shadow" effect of the "Fish Sealing Sword". Holding the "Fish Sealing Sword" can see through illusions.
Although the phantom was broken by the sword energy as soon as it invaded my mind, I immediately raised my vigilance against Lu Ji. Under the cover of his rough appearance was a cunning scheming.
"Looking for death!" Just as I smashed the illusion and was about to pay back, one of the two soldiers loyally following Xihui suddenly let out a deep roar, and the rolling sound waves sounded like thunder in Lu Ji's ears.
Lu Ji was caught off guard, and was hit hard by the sound wave. His body swayed and he took a few steps back. Even the one-eyed giant frog with green light condensed behind him became dim, obviously suffering some damage. .
Lu Ji's face was flushed, and he was hit by the sound wave unsuspectingly, and suffered some internal injuries.Lu Ji's small eyes shot fiercely, looking directly at the soldier beside Xi Hui, but because of the strength shown by the opponent just now, he did not make a move immediately.
Xihui's fighters made a sudden move, causing Lu Ji's friends to look at him fiercely, each burst into a turbulent aura.The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it seemed that a fight might break out at any time.
Xihui's two fighters each took a step forward, blocking Xihui behind them, and two fierce murderous auras soared into the sky, like two high mountains, blocking the pressure coming from all directions.
The terrifying aura erupted by the two of them made me, Liu Yuandeng, and Sur feel a little scared.The two of them are like two ancient giant beasts, their aura is like a volcano, although they stand still, they may erupt at any time.
The arena was full of gunpowder, and the battle was imminent, but Xi Hui, who was well protected, had a look of eagerness on Bai Yurunci's small face, wishing that the opponent could strike immediately.
At this moment, suddenly a group of knights riding a phoenix-tailed eagle flew quickly from a distance.
One of the phoenix-tailed hawks was extraordinarily huge, twice the size of an ordinary phoenix-tailed hawk. The knight on its back was wearing a golden armor, and some light spots appeared on the armor from time to time, like a pattern of stars engraved on it.
The knight in golden armor looked down at us and said sternly: "Fighting is strictly prohibited in the Guardian Temple, and anyone who dares to offend the majesty of the Guardian Temple will be severely punished."
The timely appearance of this group of knights made me realize that the rules of the Guardian Temple are definitely not casual talk.
Even though Xihui's two warriors were no less powerful than the knights in golden armor, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of this team of knights, which showed how the majesty of the guardian temple was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After the team of knights riding phoenix-tailed hawks appeared, Lu Ji's side immediately restrained their sharpness, with a flattering smile on their faces, and explained: "Master Knight, this is all a misunderstanding, we have absolutely no intention of doing anything. .”
Lu Ji and his friends are mostly at the seventh level, which is why they dare to block us outside the hall.Suer and I were only at the peak of the sixth level before we merged with the pet beast, and Liu Yuandeng was even weaker. Their strength reached the seventh level, so they naturally thought they could take us down.
The powerhouses of the seventh level are definitely the top existences on the earth. It is hard to imagine that these powerhouses will be so devoid of the dignity of the powerhouses.
The knight in golden armor said coldly: "Leave immediately, otherwise I will not hesitate to use force to maintain the majesty of the temple."
As soon as the knights appeared, Lu Ji probably realized that there was no way to trouble the few of us today. At this time, he just gave us a hateful look, and was about to call his friends to leave.
"Hey, Fatty, do you dare to go to the Aquarius Palace for a fight?" Xi Hui jumped out suddenly, with a charming expression, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Fat... Fatty..." Lu Ji's fat face trembled, and a sharp look shot from his eyes, and he said coldly, "Fatty is also what a girl like you can call?"
Although Xihui is also the strength of the sixth-level peak, but the innocent look shows that he has never experienced the experience of strong winds and waves.How could the sinister Lu Ji see such a girl in his eyes? If it weren't for the two powerful warriors guarding the other side, Lu Ji would have used illusions to make the other party kneel at his feet.
Originally, when the knights in the Guardian Temple appeared, the matter would be over, but Xihui suddenly jumped out and made troubles, which inevitably made us distressed.
Xi Hui was called to reveal his identity by the other party, so his face flushed red, his almond eyes widened, and he stared at Lu Ji pretending to be vicious, and said loudly: "Hey, fat man, do you dare? Are you scared by so many people?" Bar?"
Lu Ji smiled slyly and said: "Uncle Lu Ji never knew what to be afraid of, but I was afraid that you would go back on your word and let Uncle Lu Ji go for nothing."
Xi Hui snorted and said, "Will I go back on my word? This 'Dragon Carp Sword' is temporarily left with you. If I go back on my word, this sword will belong to you."
Xi Hui casually threw the sword hanging on his body to Lu Ji.
Lu Ji tricked her into giving him her weapon with just a few words, and I immediately felt the urge to cover my face and sigh, this girl is too ignorant of the dangers of the world. "Dragon Carp Sword" is extraordinary just by hearing its name.
Lu Ji held the "Dragon Carp Sword" in his hand with an expression of surprise and surprise on his face. He probably didn't expect the other party to be so easy to deceive.Lu Ji grabbed the hilt with one hand and was about to draw the sword out, but the sword and the scabbard seemed to be connected together, so he couldn't draw it out.
In front of everyone, he couldn't even draw a sword, Lu Ji's face was a little ugly.He summoned up all his strength, and drew his sword again. The naked eye could see that his thick and powerful arms swelled rapidly, the blood was throbbing, and the blue veins burst out on his arms like little snakes.
After all, Lu Ji is a level seven powerhouse. Although the "Dragon Carp Sword" is miraculous, it cannot resist Lu Ji's strange power, and the blade gradually emerges from the scabbard.Immediately, a bright sword light pierced out from the exposed part of the blade, and at the same time, a soul-stirring, angry and low-pitched dragon chant came out of the sword light.
I have seen Shenlong on Houyi Star, the dragon chant in "Dragon Carp Sword" is still somewhat different from the real dragon chant, it is not so long and continuous, it seems to come from the sky. The dragon chant in "Dragon Carp Sword" is more of a manifestation of power, like a violent storm on the ocean.
Amidst the dragon's chant, the phoenix-tailed eagles in the sky suddenly became confused and screamed. If the knights hadn't controlled them, these alien giant eagles would have run so far.
As soon as Lu Ji let go, the blade automatically returned to the scabbard, and the sound of the dragon roar just now suddenly disappeared.Lu Ji was so excited that his face flushed. Obviously, the value of "Dragon Carp Sword" far exceeded his psychological expectations.
"Good sword, good sword! What a good sword!"
Xi Hui glanced at him with bright eyes, and said with disdain: "Run, this sword is called 'Dragon Carp Sword', and the sword spirit inside is a dragon carp that has lived for hundreds of years."
"Excalibur, Excalibur!" Lu Ji's friends all looked at the "Dragon Carp Sword" in his hand with greedy eyes.
Lu Ji coughed, stuffed the "Dragon Carp Sword" into his armor, and said, "If you repent, this divine sword will be mine. If you lose, this sword will also be mine."
Xi Hui said indifferently: "Of course, but if you want my divine sword, you have to come up with something equivalent. The most important thing is, do you think you will definitely be able to defeat me?"
"Let's go, let's go to the Aquarius Palace." She waved to her two warriors and led the way happily.
Lu Ji and his friends have been filled with greed in their hearts. If we take this opportunity to leave, Lu Ji will definitely not pester us, but I really can't do it by throwing our troubles at a little girl like this.
If it is a fair decisive battle, even five or six Xihui may not be the opponent of Lu Ji alone.I looked at Liu Yuandeng and Sur, smiled wryly, and followed her.
Because Lu Ji called out her identity as a woman, Xihui came to me halfway and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but my real name is Yu Mengshui. I concealed my name before, please forgive me."
In fact, we have already seen through her identity, so naturally we have nothing to blame her for.After expressing my understanding, I asked about the origin of the Aquarius Palace.
Yu Mengshui explained earnestly: "There are not many guardians in the Guardian Alliance. In order to save time for training, the guardians will send followers to take care of some trivial things for them. As a guardian, each of them has Many followers. They also have a lot of tribesmen, followers will also have some tribesmen, and many of these people live in the Guardian Alliance. It is inevitable that the followers or tribesmen of the Guardians will have some irreconcilable conflicts at ordinary times, Aquarius The Aquarius Palace came into being under such circumstances. If both parties are willing, both parties can enter the Aquarius Palace to fight, regardless of life or death. Therefore, this rule has gradually formed in the Guardian Temple. If you have any grievances or conflicts, go to the Aquarius Palace."
Su'er said: "It turns out that it's a life-and-death arena, so how can we guarantee fairness?"
Yu Mengshui said: "This is the rule set by the saints, and no one dares to violate it. And once the contract is signed and entered the Aquarius Palace, outsiders cannot intervene until the battle is over."
Since there are guarantees from several saints, there should be no problem with fairness.
After walking for a while, we followed Yu Mengshui to the Aquarius Palace.The Aquarius Palace doesn't look very big. Looking down from above, the Aquarius Palace looks like a water bottle, hence the name.
