The question of whether to try to achieve five five-star records first or try to pass the direct attack spear formation did not make Lin Xi struggle for a long time.
"Convince people with virtue, convince people with virtue" Learning the tone of the thunder tiger and muttering to himself, Lin Xi had already made a decision when he carried the black stone strongbow and arrow pouch that he had hidden in the grass on his back.
Facing Qiu Lu's black flower spear today, he had already felt the benefits of sharpening in the direct spear formation, compared to the previous days, his ability to dodge this spear assassination has been greatly improved, in a few days ago, even if he hadn't practiced the slashing method that An Keyi taught him, the "Black Rose" holding the black flower spear might not be able to stab him in one shot.
The combat power is strong, and he can win in the face of every opponent, and the credits of the five five-star rewards can be easily obtained, unlike now, if he encounters some opponents with strong points, I am afraid that he will still have to use his ability to return to before the ten stops, so try to use this ability to improve his real combat power.
After taking the black stone strong bow, Lin Xi untied the strip of cloth on the handle of the short knife, inserted the knife into his waist, and stuffed the strip of cloth and the golden pentagonal badge he got from Qiu Lu into the quiver first, and walked quickly in the direction of the yellow wall.
A student with five gold pentagonal badges embedded in black armor suddenly stopped not far from the yellow wall.
Not far in front of him was a pile of artificially piled dead branches and leaves, and next to him were a few large crooked characters that had been drawn out of branches.
"Excuse me" Just when the black-armored student, who obviously wanted to enter the yellow wall to practice, was full of suspicion, and just saw these four big characters on the ground, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a black arrow shot out from the big tree in the forest behind him and landed heavily on his right leg.
This unquenchable blow made the black-armored student, who had already achieved a five-star record, suddenly snort and fell to his knees on one knee.
Before he could react, a second black arrow landed on his back, causing his body to involuntarily lean forward.
The sound of the arrows crashing on the black armor made the student's heart cold more than the pain that followed, and he knew very well that an ambush opponent who could shoot two arrows accurately at this speed would definitely not give him a chance, and he would definitely be able to shoot the third and fourth arrows with precision.
"Smack" Just as he had thought, a third, simple pop sounded in his lower back, followed by a fourth He fell heavily to the ground, and saw the black-armored warrior holding the black-stone strongbow leaping down from the tree like a ghost, and when the opponent shot the second arrow in the run, he said in a slightly shrill voice in pain and helplessness: "I admit defeat, and my subordinates will be merciful so that I can have the strength to enter and practice." ” Lin Xi shook the fingers of his slightly sore right hand, paused slightly, and saw that the other party simply took off a golden pentagonal badge on his left shoulder and threw it over, thinking of Fang Cai's words again, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that this person was also an interesting person.
"With your archery skills, you are ambushed here again, you shouldn't have received many gold pentagonal badges" Looking at Lin Xi, who put his golden pentagonal badge in the quiver, Ai Qilan, who was slowly sitting up on the ground, rubbed the sore part of her thigh angrily, and couldn't help but say.
Because he felt that the other party was an interesting person, Lin Xi replied very honestly: "No, with you, I just got five stars." ” Ai Qilan said indignantly: "You have made up five stars, but now I have become four stars." ” Under the cover of the black armor, Lin Xi naturally didn't know that the other party was a girl from the spirit sacrifice department, and naturally he didn't have any pity for the jade, but the other party complained like this, he was a little embarrassed, so he smiled again, "I'm really embarrassed." ” "Have you ever practiced in it" Looking at Lin Xi's demeanor, and seeing the four crooked characters drawn out of the branches on the side, Ai Qilan didn't feel that Lin Xi hated it, and asked again while rubbing the sore spot.
Lin Xi replied honestly: "I've been in twice, and now I'm about to go in." ” Ai Qilan looked at Lin Xi's eyes, and asked again, "Which hall are you going to?"
Lin Xi said: "Hit the spear formation directly." ” Ai Qilan was really interested, and said in surprise: "That's the same place as me, how many steps have you passed?"
Lin Xi also glanced at Ai Qilan with some curiosity: "About ninety steps, what about you?"
"More than ninety steps" Ai Qilan was stunned, and then said angrily: "I ask you seriously, if you don't want to talk to me more, just say some lies at will to prevaricate what I mean" Lin Xi was stunned: "I didn't tell a lie." ” Ai Qilan was so angry that her face was flushed under the silver mask, just now she saw that this person was quite honest, why is he so annoying now She stood up in annoyance, glared at Lin Xi and said: "I heard from a few senior brothers in our department before, in previous years, even those who came out of the border army, entered the direct attack spear formation three or four times, and were able to pass seventy steps, it is already an extremely remarkable record, two times through more than ninety steps, you still say that you are not lying" Lin Xi was stunned: "Entering the direct attack spear formation three or four times, and being able to pass up to seventy steps is already an extremely remarkable achievement."
"I doubt you've ever entered the Spear Formation."
Ai Qilan said angrily: "As long as you have entered, you naturally know that after being stabbed down a few times, it is more inconvenient to move, the deeper you go, the more difficult it is to travel, to the back ten steps, compared to the first ten steps are more difficult I don't know how much, seventy steps and ninety steps are still a lot different, you" "You have a point."
Lin Xi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly again.
He thought that he wasn't technically twice, because the last time he was able to pass a distance of more than ninety paces, it was also because after using the ability to return to the previous ten stops.
Ai Qilan looked at Lin Xi, and her eyes under the silver mask emitted infinite anger: "Laziness is the greatest original sin that destroys the will, and lies are the one that makes glory fall into the abyss."
Lin Xi smiled, looked at the angry Ai Qilan, and said, "You must be from the Spirit Sacrifice Department." ” Ai Qilan was stunned: "How do you know?"
Lin Xi said with a smile: "Before the big test, I met a guy who was determined to enter the spirit sacrifice department, and he said something similar to you, except for the people of the spirit sacrifice department, who would hang such words on his lips all day long." ” Ai Qilan's brows were furrowed enough to hold a bowl of water, and she looked at Lin Xi, like an angry bull: "What, don't you think these words are wrong?"
"Yes, of course, I admit that what you said makes sense, but I did pass more than 90 steps."
Lin Xi didn't want to entangle with Ai Qilan, so after patiently saying this, he walked into the gate of the yellow wall in front of him.
"You" Ai Qilan was annoyed by Lin Xi's attitude, in her heart, Lin Xi suddenly rose to the same status as the imperial heresy, but Luo Houyuan, who suddenly appeared behind her, made her temporarily shut her mouth while being slightly surprised.
Looking at the old man who walked silently along the yellow wall, she was full of suspicion, but the old man in the old lecturer's black robe just glanced at her and calmly called out her name: "Ai Qilan, if a priest rushes to judge before seeing the truth with his own eyes, he will become the kind of person he hates.
What you have to do is not only to see the real world with your eyes, but also to be patient enough to listen to the statement of a person who has committed a heinous crime. ” "Let's go."
Before she could say anything, Luo Houyuan slowly walked past her and walked towards the yellow walled gate that Lin Xi had just walked through, "I'll show you that I'm afraid it will be easier for you to understand the meaning of what I said." ” In the silent stone hall, Lin Xiping, who was covered in water as if he had been fished out of water, lay flat on the ground, and from the entrance of the stone hall to the muddy ground around him, a black spear with a handle deep into the mud was like a black bamboo forest.
He lay peacefully between a few spears, panting and looking at the roof of the temple.
The square pillars of light shining in through a few simple stone windows were a little dazzling, but it was precisely because it was still early today that he could see a row of handwriting carved on the top of the hall: "True courage only comes from inner perseverance." ” Seeing this sentence, Lin Xi thought of nothing else, but his father and mother in Lulin Town, as well as his lovely old sister.
"You really need courage enough to support this practice."
After looking at this row of handwriting for the first time for a long time, Lin Xi, who had finally breathed his breath, smiled and let out a sigh, and slowly twisted back towards the door of the stone hall like an earthworm.
"It's a pity, although you didn't come with me this time, although I used my ability again and suffered one more time, but I have improved a lot compared to last time, this should be more than 100 steps, if you see it, you won't think I'm lying to you, and you don't have to tell me those big truths."
While slowly twisting towards the door of the stone hall, Lin Xi said with some regret in his heart.
Unlike other students, Lin Xi has the ability to do it all over again, so in this stone hall, he himself is equivalent to his own teacher, and he can make the most accurate adjustments to the last move, so this time, his record is better than the last time He felt that he had passed a hundred steps, but in fact, the precise straight-line distance from the entrance to the last bronze back door of this stone hall was one hundred and ninety-eight steps, and by the end of today, the straight-line distance he had passed was already one hundred and seventeen steps, which was far beyond his own rough estimate.
Just as he finally twisted to the entrance of the stone hall, stood up and left, and completely disappeared into the area surrounded by the yellow wall, Luo Houyuan, who had a calm face, walked into the hall with a look of disbelief and despair in the silver mask.
After letting Ai Qilan measure the position where Lin Xi finally fell and gave up with her own footsteps, Luo Houyuan led Ai Qilan, whose body was trembling slightly, to ignore a black-robed lecturer who began to pick up the black spear in this hall, walked out of this stone hall, stopped on an empty rocky ground in this valley, and glanced at the blood-like sunset, Luo Houyuan turned around, looked at Ai Qilan calmly and asked: "You can see his body and killing method very clearly, since you have also seen the last duel, you should know who he is now." ” "Yes" Ai Qilan lowered her head, but she didn't believe it in her heart, how could he be able to support so many steps, how could he do this.
"Ai Qilan, from the information collected about you by the academy, you are indeed a very upright, jealous and hateful person, you have always taken your sacrificial brother as an example, if you want to become a priest If you are willing, I can foresee that you are indeed very likely to become a qualified priest, but I ask you now, are you really willing to give up all the glory and wealth forever for the justice and faith in your heart" Luo Houyuan looked directly at her, still said calmly.
"I" Ai Qilan's body shook violently, and a layer of mist rose in her eyes instantly, she was a little speechless, and some didn't understand why this old man suddenly said this, but she nodded very definitely and very hard.
Luo Houyuan glanced at Ai Qilan and said lightly, "I want to choose you to be the night watchman." ”:
