Lord of the Night

…

Fang Che fell into a coma.

Due to the ancient jade incident at Baiyun Martial Academy, some students were taken away for investigation. They were found to be members of the Demon Cult, so they were uniformly examined, and many people were directly exposed and died.

Thus began a review of the family.

Unexpectedly, many small families were found to be vassals of the Demon Sect.

This resulted in chaos.

The very next day, something happened to Ding Jingran's Ding family. The three major families in the city suddenly joined forces to deal with the Ding family, suppressing them in all aspects.

The Ding family was left alone and forced to retrench.

Then several big families in neighboring cities also cut off business contacts with the Ding family.

The Ding family suddenly worsened, and at the same time, the annual task list for guarding the main hall was issued.

The Ding family was devastated: there was no chance of completing the task.

It seems that it is already the fourth quarter, and all tasks cannot be completed.

Moreover, several masters in the family were challenged by other families and were injured one after another.

The guard hall came out to mediate the conflicts among the major families, but unexpectedly found that the grievances were too deep, involving several generations, and could not be reconciled.

So we had to strictly stipulate that no large-scale fighting was allowed.

They also sent people to the Ding family to ensure the safety of the area.

These measures are completely reasonable and consistent with past practices.

Under such circumstances, the Night Demon Sect did not dare to take action at all and could only watch the Ding family decline step by step.

He was about to slip out of the eighth-level family queue and fall to the ninth level.

Even level nine is not the end.

…

Then the registration for the triennial martial arts competition began.

Contents of the competition: Five representative martial arts students from each of the five levels will participate in the competition.

Competition time: December 15th to 30th.

Rules: Arena format, winner takes all.

Location: Kyoto Tenjin Martial Arts Academy.

After the rules came down, the major martial arts schools immediately started competitions within their schools.

If you win the top three in the competition, the martial arts academy's annual resources will increase by 30%; if you win the first place, the annual resources will double.

The fourth to eighth positions also have resource rewards.

Moreover, after students graduate, the quotas in each guard hall will also be relaxed.

Students who perform outstandingly in the comparison will be recorded in the main hall and will be admitted directly after graduation.

It is equivalent to taking the public examination directly.

So everyone was very enthusiastic.

Not to mention the other four levels, in the first grade, Mo Ganyun and others looked gloomy.

Now, there are only five of them playing together. Xie Gongping sometimes comes, but he can only practice by himself from a distance.

Alone, very lonely.

But Xie Gongping also got angry.

When he has nothing to do, he is like a lone wolf. He goes out to do tasks every day. After submitting the tasks and receiving credits, he enters the spiritual energy gravity training room.

Practice yourself to death every day.

Whenever I have free time, I go to the small school field to participate in the battle.

Although no one in the small group paid attention to him, it did not prevent him from challenging.

Every time he challenged, he no longer called him "Fifth Brother or Sixth Brother". Although he was beaten violently every time, he never flinched.

On the contrary, it became more and more severe.

If no one agrees to his challenge, he will start a fight directly and hit you with his fists until you accept the challenge!

Now, another day has passed.

During the break, Song in the Rain looked gloomy: "Boss Fang has been lying down for three days. When I went to see him, it was said that there was no improvement."

Everyone else also lowered their heads.

"All our medicines have been sent to us, and we are still taking them, but... we haven't seen any effects."

"The mountain chief and others have also come up with suitable materials and treasures, but they have no effect."

"Why……"

Qiu Yunshang sighed: "There is also the martial arts competition, have you all passed?"

"Passed. It's just a small matter; among the same level, no one is stronger than the five of us."

Jing Shuanggao said calmly: "It's basically the five of us. There shouldn't be any objection to this."

"What about him?"

Mo dared Yunnu pursed his lips and looked askance at Xie Gongping.

"He has made rapid progress during this period, but... he is not yet there." Yu Zhongge said with the corner of his mouth raised.

"What should we do?"

"We will tell you what to do after Boss Fang recovers. None of us are qualified to forgive him."

"That's true, but what if Boss Fang cannot recover?"

"Then Xie Gongping will never be able to come in again!"

"Even if Boss Fang recovers, it is still unknown whether Xie Gongping can come in again."

"Yes."

Yu Zhongge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There's no need to talk about him. No matter what, he can't get in."

"Why?" everyone asked.

"Our participation in major martial arts competitions is basically determined. Therefore, in the following time, until the competition begins, the martial arts academy will open all resources to us plus special training. These are things that Xie Gongping cannot do Enjoyable. That’s one of them.”

Song in the Rain said: "Once the competition starts, it will be even more obvious. Because this is the martial arts competition in the whole continent. After fighting one after another, we have to face all kinds of strange moves and techniques. Every day There are more than three battles, and every battle, you have to give it your all.”

"It can be said that every day, our strength is soaring."

Several people nodded silently to this statement.

This is true.

In that kind of environment, even if you are injured, your strength will skyrocket.

Experience, lessons, combat awareness, and constant squeezing of one's own potential, as well as a massive amount of natural and earthly treasures that are replenished with battle...

It is not nonsense to say that every day is a new world.

"How will Xie Gongping catch up with us after we return from this big competition? He can no longer keep up, and he will be farther away by then."

"Now he can come here shamelessly to spar and fight. He will be defeated within a few moves or a dozen moves, but by then, he won't even be able to survive one move under our hands! Half a move!"

"How can I get in?"

Song in the Rain sighed softly and said: "This is the path of martial arts."

"Sometimes, you also have to think about it. It's not that we rejected him, but that he rejected himself. Because as our strength increases, the tasks we go out to do become more and more intense. We can handle it. He May I?"

"Do you want him to die outside, or do we want to be his nanny all the time?"

Yu Zhongge sighed and said, "That's why I kicked him out resolutely that day, not all because of Boss Fang's business."

"It would be much more harmful to ask him to withdraw in the future than it is now."

"He can't keep up."

Can't keep up.

These few words made the other four people fall silent in unison.

Yes, this kind of thing is cruel.

But it must be faced.

Every team that moves forward will not stop waiting because any one of them falls behind!

Song in the Rain said slowly: "The road to martial arts requires companions, but not all travelers may be able to walk together until the end."

"Some people keep falling behind, and people keep joining, and there are constant waves of surfing the sand. When you reach the peak of martial arts, you will find that countless groups of people have changed around you!"

He looked at Mo Ganyun, looked at Qiu Yun, and said calmly: "Including a few of us, there will definitely be people left behind in the future. In the beginning, we can make up for it with the treasures of heaven and earth. To catch up, everyone supports each other, but as time goes by, the one who is lagging behind will never be able to catch up."

Singing in the Rain said slowly:

"When you can't catch up, you can only stop and watch others getting further and further away."

"And he was alone behind him, working hard to catch up; just like Xie Gongping now. But soon he will find that the more he chases, the further he goes, until he can no longer see his back."

"Even the few of us may not be able to make it to the end side by side."

Yu Zhongge smiled lightly: "Let's see how far we can go."

Several people nodded heavily.

Yu Zhongge turned to Ding Juran and said, "When it comes to this matter, I have to talk about you."

Ding Jingran raised his head numbly.

He looked at Singing in the Rain with cold eyes.

Song in the Rain whispered: "You are on the verge of falling behind now."

Ding was alone and dumbfounded.

He knows this himself.

However, regarding the issue of family background, there has been no foundation for building a foundation since childhood, and there are no such conditions.

Just rely on your qualifications and move up step by step.

The same seeds and the same saplings, some seeds grow on thousands of miles of fertile and oily land, while others sprout tenaciously among the rocks, relying on the floating soil blown by the wind to add nutrients and grow step by step.

Qualifications are the same qualifications.

But the development was completely different.

Just like Mo Ganyun, a seed like Song in the Rain, the extremely fertile land serves as its foundation, and the missing stones and other objects will continue to be smashed down by people to solidify the foundation around it as it grows. In the end, Others will also see a mountain.

It seems that this tree also emerged from the mountain.

But no one will notice this tree on the mountain. Its roots are thousands of miles away from the fertile soil.

Nutrition, endless supply.

"Boss Fang is not here now. You are ranked fifth, and Jing Shuanggao is sixth. But Jing Shuanggao may be able to surpass you before the major martial arts competitions."

Song in the Rain said: "But your sword bone is something that none of us have."

He took out two books from his arms and handed them over: "These are two books on swordsmanship that I asked people in my family to copy. One is a left-handed sword, and the other is a right-handed sword. They have special mental techniques, footwork, and Different sword intentions.”

Ding Juran suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean?"

Yu Zhongge said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any other intentions. I will not make any demands on our family from you in the future. I just hope that we brothers can go farther."

"Even if you still have to fall behind in the future, you can still... be at a higher place."

Ding Lonely lowered his head.

The broken hair fell down from his forehead, covering his eyes, and he didn't move for a long time.

Mo Ganyun sighed.

He could do this kind of thing, but firstly he was concerned about Ding Juran's self-esteem, and secondly, he was really overtaken by Sing in the Rain.

Mo Ganyun said: "Old Ding, take it. This has nothing to do with the family, nothing to do with showing favor, nothing to do with future choices, and nothing to do with the future path. It's just some gifts between brothers."

"If you have something good in the future, you can give it to us. We owe nothing."

Jing Shuanggao also smiled freely.

When I say there will be more updates during the October 1st holiday, I mean there will be an outbreak between the 1st and the 7th.

But the premise is that I can only do it if I work overtime these days to write it...

Not all double updates will be added during the period. Don't make excuses with me on this point, we don't like that.
