Lord of Nine Stars

Three days later, north.

The farthest place that transportation can reach is Aihui City.

At the exit of the terminal of the suburban airport, Rong Taotao wrapped her white down jacket tightly around her body, looked up at the gray sky, and breathed out a hint of cold mist.

It's early June now, it's summer, but the snow whirlpool doesn't like anyone. When you come to this snowy land, all you can see is snow, and all you can experience is cold.

"Hey, who is this?" A strange voice came from not far away.

Rong Taotao turned around and smiled on his face: "Good job teaching Xia!"

"Xia Jiao is not good, Xia Jiao is not good." Xia Fangran shook his head and hooked him, "Xia Jiao is at ease in Songjiang Hunwu, drinking tea, reading newspapers, and beating him up if nothing happens. Beating up students, having a very pleasant life, but being called to pick him up at the airport?"

Rong Taotao walked over quickly, curious in his heart: "Why did you come to pick up the plane?"

"As you say, aren't you a hero?" Xia Fangran summoned Xue Ye Jing and gestured to the position behind him, "You have merit in learning the Hoshino Soul Technique. Lao Mei is afraid that you can't find your way home, so let me come and cross it." I’ll ferry you over.”

Rong Taotao got on his horse and grinned: "You must speak well, why don't you say you are a teacher~"

"Drive!" Xia Fangran curled his lips, clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and the master and apprentice rushed out.

Rong Taotao hid behind Xia Fangran, letting his body shield her from the cold wind.

I have returned to this familiar place, without the warmth of spring, without the fragrance of birds and flowers, but with familiar temperature, familiar life, and familiar people.

"Kid, how have you been these past few months?" Xia Fangran asked.

"Xingye Soul Technique has reached two stars, and he has learned all eight basic soul skills." Rong Taotao pressed his forehead against Xia Fangran's back and responded.

"Good boy, I do have two brushes. I can beat Xingye Soul Technique to two stars in three months. I can scare a lot of people to death." Xia Fangran said with a smile.

Xue Ye Jing was galloping in the wilderness, and he continued: "Lotus petals also have the effect of accelerating the practice of Xingye Soul Technique?"

Rong Taotao: "Can't it be that I'm gifted?"

Xia Fangran snorted and said, "Then you are awesome~"

Rong Taotao chuckled and said, "Lotus petals have no acceleration effect, but star fragments do."

Xia Fangran:? ? ?

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Rong Taotao in confusion: "What do you mean? Don't tell me that you got a star fragment!"

Rong Taotao put one hand on Xia Fangran's shoulder and adjusted his sitting posture. His head continued to be huddled behind his back to avoid the cold wind: "No."

Xia Fangran: "Then you're talking nonsense."

Rong Taotao: "Others have it. I took advantage of the benefits of practicing for two months."

Xia Fangran raised his eyebrows slightly and asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

Rong Taotao's heart moved, he didn't know?

Rong Taotao thought that this so-called secret should be public information for Xia Fangran's level.

So it seems that your level, Xia Yinyang, is not high enough?

Of course, after all, Xia Fangran is rooted in Songjiang Soul City, and before meeting Rong Taotao, he led his students to hang out at the Three Walls all year round, so it is inevitable that there will be no information.

Rong Taotao thought for a while and then said: "An aunt named Nancheng is quite powerful."

"Oh~" Xia Fangran clicked his tongue in surprise, "General Nan of the Imperial Capital City?"

Rong Taotao raised his eyebrows slightly: "General?"

Xia Fangran was not talking about soul generals, but generals!

Xia Fangran: "Major General Nan is so willing to play with you?"

How could Nancheng have such leisure? She didn't even have time. She stayed with Ye Nanxi for two months this time, and she was afraid that she could make up for all the love that Ye Nanxi had missed in the past 20 years while growing up.

Well, I also gave him two slaps by the way.

Rong Taotao said weakly: "Maybe she thought I was a talent, so she put aside her busy work for the time being and focused on cultivating me.

Hey, I am really lucky to meet such a responsible elder~"

"You kid, you're really good at talking." Xia Fangran scolded with a smile. Thinking of Rong Taotao's life experience, Xia Fangran didn't think it was a big deal. Maybe Rong Taotao's father was too proud.

He changed the subject and said, "Are you planning to participate in the campus tryout with your little girlfriend?"

"Yes, I came back just in time, gearing up and getting ready to do something big!"

"Well, then you have to be careful." Xia Fangran reminded, "You can only make it to the last on-campus trial.

In the first three batches, one group came out from each batch. In this last selection, the largest number of people participated in the selection, and they were all the most dedicated. After all, this was the last chance. "

Rong Taotao asked hurriedly: "Are there any seed teams that did not perform well in the previous batches?"

"Is there any?" Xia Fangran smiled and said, "Yes!"

Rong Taotao:? ? ?

Don't scare me!

Xia Fangran said: "There are indeed a few teams, but there is nothing we can do about it. The selection mechanism of Songjiang Hunwu University is too strict. If we can open up the quota and select 8 teams to compete outside the customs, the competition will not be so fierce."

Rong Taotao looked uncomfortable: "Why don't you take 8 sticks but insist on taking 4 sticks?"

"Yeah! I'm thinking about it too." Xia Fangran muttered, "Songjiang Hunwu doesn't have the strength, but Mei Laogui just won't let go and insists on following the tradition. It's really an antique.

With the name of Songjiang Hunwu University, it would be too easy to get four more places. But it doesn’t matter if you two can’t choose, it would be more appropriate to go two years later. "

"A joke! You should know that when I was young, I took Yun Zhi, and I was once the best in the world, my teacher Xia!" Rong Taotao grabbed Xia Fangran's shoulder with one hand and shook it back and forth. "When I am in my 40s and have accomplished nothing, then... late!"

Xia Fangran looked strange. Is there something in this kid's words?

I haven't accomplished anything, have I?

Speaking of Xia Fangran, if you come to this northern snowy land to inquire, he is also a well-known figure.

Well, yes, it’s not necessarily me that he’s talking about.

Xia Fangran scratched his head and said, "You'd better be careful and don't think too much of the Starfield Soul Skill. After all, this is a snow realm, and there is no Starfield Soul Power for you to absorb.

If you use up all the Hoshino Soul Power, it may take a whole day to replenish Hoshino Soul Power.

Simply absorbing soul power doesn't matter, the key is the transformation of soul power attributes, which consumes too much energy and is quite painful for soul warriors. "

"Yeah." Rong Taotao nodded repeatedly, "I am just a surprise attack method or the last trump card. I will not go around with Xingye soul skills."

Xia Fangran nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, as long as you have this awareness, how is your halberd technique recently, Luo Luo Luo Luo?"

Rong Taotao: "emmm"

Xia Fangran smiled happily and said, "Then wait until you go back and be crushed by your little girlfriend. She has made rapid progress in the past three months!"

Rong Taotao felt happy, but asked: "Is it true or false?"

Xia Fangran snorted and said: "I have tried my best to teach her and polish her skills, and if she doesn't get any results for me, I will kick her out of the sky and I must expel her from the school."

Rong Taotao whispered: "Don't you just let the students realize on their own?"

Xia Fangran also smiled and said: "Teaching her is different from teaching you. It's not easy for me to interfere in your battle.

You and I have two extreme styles. I am afraid that I will teach you something different, so I can only put pressure on you blindly. The most I can do is correct your movements, but I dare not instill ideas into you. "

Rong Taotao: "."

In fact, Xia Fangran made very few corrections to Rong Taotao's movements. On the one hand, Rong Taotao had a really good foundation. On the other hand, because of the different styles and ideas, the purpose of the movements he made was completely different.

Xia Fangran's so-called correction must be weighed in his heart before making a decision.

It normally takes eight hours to ride from Aihui City to Songjiang Soul City.

However, Xia Fangran's Snowy Night Terror is of extremely high quality and strength. When faced with the pursuit of Frost Beauty and Xiao Ziru in the snowfield, Xia Fangran's words "His horse is not as fast as mine" were more than just a joke.

The master and apprentice rested for half an hour at Songhun Station, and finally arrived at Songjiang Soul City during dinner.

Returning to the familiar Tianzi City again, Rong Taotao's heart was filled with emotion.

From the warm sunny days to the cold nights in the north, it only took him one day's journey.

It's a bit too dreamy. Under the same sky, there are two such extreme worlds.

Rong Taotao understood why every year, so many students who worked hard to get into Songjiang Hunwu dropped out of school.

I have been to the prosperous Imperial City and entered the warm starry vortex. Rong Taotao knew more clearly why so many people gave up on this top university.

They just want a warm world and a colorful life. Is this wrong?

Yes, absolutely nothing wrong.

You walk your own path, and you choose your own life.

But what if the person in this world who can warm me happens to be in this dark and cold night in the north?

Just like this time, in the outdoor martial arts field of Songjiang Hunwu, a tall figure was walking with false steps, and the halberd in his hand was dotted in mid-air.

Her movements were precise and her expression was extremely focused. Even the tip of the halberd that touched the air seemed to be in exactly the same position every time.

In this martial arts arena full of swords and shadows, Rong Taotao stood far away with his hands in his pockets, quietly looking at the familiar figure in the night through the bright street lights.

really.

You have to walk your own path.

People also choose themselves.

Rong Taotao sat down slowly, folded his arms around his knees, and watched silently as she repeated the same actions again and again and tirelessly.

She is very focused, so focused that she forgets herself.

So why isn't he?

"Juan Huh." Shi Lan came back from dinner and accidentally spotted Rong Taotao. She waved her hands and shouted excitedly, but was covered by Shi Lou's hand beside her.

"Well" Shi Lan grabbed her sister's palm with one hand and looked at Rong Taotao curiously, and also saw the person in his sight.

Shi Lan thought for a while, took out her mobile phone from the butt pocket of her jeans, quietly came behind Rong Taotao, and took a photo.

In the picture, Rong Taotao's back is sitting in the snow, with little snowflakes dancing against the background of the street lamp.

And through the layers of frost and snow, in the distance, there is a person dancing with Fang Tian's painted halberd.
