Martial World

Qixuan Wufu, located in Tianyun City, the capital of Tianyun Kingdom, backed by Dazhou Mountain.

As the Wufu of the Great Sect, Qixuanwufu has many inherited martial arts, and has martial arts masters to teach, it has naturally become a martial arts holy place in the minds of all young people who are interested in martial arts in Tianyun Kingdom. The threshold for the government to recruit disciples is also quite high, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as one in ten thousand.

On a hot summer day, at the foot of Dazhou Mountain, on a grassy forest, a teenage boy, with his fists wrapped around a strip of cloth, stood bare-chested in front of a big tree that hugged each other, punching heavily. Hit the tree trunk.

"Peng!" "Peng!" The dull voice echoed in the forest, and the bark of the big tree that was hit was obviously dented, revealing gray-white wood with a little blood on the wood.

The young man's name was Lin Ming, and he possessed third-rank martial arts talent.

In Tianyun Kingdom, half of the people have no talent in martial arts at all, and are not suitable for martial arts at all. In the other half, more than 80% have only a rank 1 martial arts talent, and even if they practice martial arts, they will not be able to do anything, and about 90% of the remaining less than 10 have a rank 2 martial arts talent. If you practice martial arts hard, you can do it. There is little achievement, but there is little hope of becoming a martial arts master.

Lin Ming's third-class martial arts talent can be said to be first-class, and it is barely one in a hundred, but this martial arts talent is still far from being able to go to the Seven Profound Martial Palace!

Lin Ming knew this very well. He happened to grow up with Lin Ming, and the beautiful girl Lan Yunyue who cultivated together had the same talent of the third rank as Lin Ming, so the two of them agreed to take the Heavenly Fate Martial Arts, which was a lot worse than that of the Seven Profound Martial Palace. government.

Tianyun Wufu belongs to Tianyun Kingdom. It has only been established for 80 years. The practice, inheritance, and background are very limited, and the inheritance of martial arts practice is very important to warriors. If there is no good martial arts practice, if you want to complete the training At the physical stage, condensing the meridians to a higher martial arts realm is as difficult as reaching the sky.

The period of condensing pulses is the realm that many warriors yearn for, and it is also the first watershed in the way of martial arts. Once the pulses are condensed, the lifespan of warriors is greatly increased, and they can be named nobles, and they will be blessed with good fortune and descendants.

In terms of the training of Pulse Condensing Martial Artists, the Heavenly Fate Martial Palace is far from the Seven Profound Martial Palace.

Lin Ming is devoted to martial arts, and naturally also dreams of going to the Seven Profound Martial Palace. If he is not talented enough, he can only rely on diligence and perseverance to impress the examiners. However, his hopes are not very high. Waiting for the next time, time is also very precious to the warrior.

Based on this, plus Lan Yunyue's reasons, Lin Ming decided to enter the Heavenly Fate Martial Residence.

Lin Ming and Lan Yunyue have been practicing together and having fun together for so many years. Although they are still young, they have not reached the point of talking about marriage, but they already have a vague affection for each other, and Lin Ming's parents are also very fond of Lan. Yunyue likes it very much and often asks Lan Yunyue to eat at home.

Lin Ming and Lan Yunyue had always had a mutual affection for each other. There was only a thin piece of window paper left between the two of them. As long as the two of them were a little older, the window paper would be pierced.

Lin Ming attached great importance to the agreement between the two, and he made up his mind that even in the Heavenly Fate Martial Palace, he would attack the Pulse Condensation Realm!

However, Lan Yunyue did not appear on the day of the Tianyun Wufu Entrance Exam.

Lin Ming originally thought that Lan Yunyue could not arrive because of certain things. Later, he learned that Lan Yunyue had entered the Seven Profound Martial Palace, and the one who recommended her to become a disciple of the Seven Profound Martial Palace was the talented young master of the Zhu Family, the first family of Qingsang City. Zhu Yan.

Although Lin Ming was only fifteen years old, he had been wandering outside with his parents since he was a child, and his mind was much more mature than that of children of the same age. He knew very well what it meant for Zhu Yan to guide Lan Yunyue to enter the Seven Profound Martial Palace.

The children of a big family like the Zhu family choose a wife not only by the woman's looks and temperament, but also by the talent in martial arts. The offspring with high talent are very likely to give birth to geniuses. Although Lan Yunyue's family background is ordinary,

But the third-grade high-level talent is already very good among girls.

Although the Zhu family wanted to find someone with higher talent, Lan Yunyue herself had a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament, so it was normal for Zhu Yan to like her.

For Lan Yunyue, the Seven Profound Martial Palace and the Tianyun Martial Palace are incomparable in terms of opportunities, glory and possible achievements in the future, especially the temptation to step into the condensing state and prolong youth for decades. , which makes girls irresistible.

Facing this kind of temptation, I'm afraid not only Lan Yunyue, but most girls would also choose Zhu Yan, especially Zhu Yan's appearance is not bad, his family background and future are far better than Lin Ming.

Although he understood in his heart, it was impossible to say that this matter did not hit Lin Ming. He locked himself in the door for three days. After three days, he walked out of the room, ate, slept, and cultivated, and he cultivated harder than before. .

Before Lan Yunyue left him, he was determined to break through the pulse condensing stage and pursue a higher martial arts realm, and now Lin Ming is still the same. If there was still something in his heart before, then after Lan Yunyue left, he strengthened his will to Wu.

He decided to change to the Seven Profound Martial House, even though the process was difficult.

"Peng!" "Peng!" The sound of the dull fist hitting the trunk of the tree is still echoing in the forest. This tree is called iron wood. Not only is the bark extremely tough, but also has a strong healing ability. Many martial arts beginners will choose This iron wood comes to practice strength.

Lin Ming didn't know how many punches he threw, and finally exhausted all his strength. He supported the tree trunk and sat on a stone. He took out the herbs from his backpack on the ground, rubbed them and smeared them on his scarred fists. Use medicinal herbs to heal the body, otherwise there will be dark wounds, and if the dark wounds accumulate too much, they may be disabled or even die.

This herb is called Iron Thread Grass, which is named because the green juice squeezed out of the Iron Thread Grass has healing properties, but when it is sprinkled on the wound, it is like an iron wire brush, and the pain is piercing.

Lin Ming gritted his teeth to resist the pain, took out a new white cloth from the package, and wrapped his fists round by round.

In fact, there were many herbs that were more effective and milder than the thorn grass, and were neither painful nor itchy, but without exception, they were expensive, and Lin Ming's family couldn't afford them at all.

Lin Ming's parents ran a good-scale restaurant in Qingsang City, but the assets of this restaurant did not belong to Lin Ming's parents, but belonged to the Lin family in Qingsang City.

Although Lin Ming was also surnamed Lin, he had been separated by blood relatives from the Lin family for several generations. The family handed over part of the property to distant relatives for management. Lin Ming's parents ran the restaurant and received a fixed income and a portion of the commission every year. Compared to ordinary families, it was already quite considerable. It was used to live a prosperous and prosperous life, but it was not enough for Lin Ming to practice martial arts.

Originally, Lin Ming's parents hoped that Lin Ming would inherit the family business and become a shopkeeper of a restaurant. However, seeing that Lin Ming devoted himself to martial arts, they took out all the savings in the family to buy healing medicines for Lin Ming.

Now, the savings at home were being consumed little by little, but Lin Ming always stayed at the first weight of training.

The body training period is the first stage of martial arts. Introducing the essence and quenching the body, there are six levels in total, the first level is strength training, the second level is muscle training, the third level is visceral training, the fourth level is easy tendons, the fifth level is bone forging, and the sixth level is condensing the pulse. After this, the martial artist will enter the stage of gathering Yuan.

After smearing the wound with the herbal juice, Lin Ming rested for half an hour to allow the wound to fully absorb the medicinal power of the herbal medicine. Just as he stood up and was about to resume his boxing practice, a chubby man held a delicate hand in his hand. The boy with the long sword walked out of the woods. When he saw Lin Ming, he said with a smile, "Brother Ming, today is the day for registration for the entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial Academy. Didn't you forget that you are still practicing your boxing here?"

This young man's name was Lin Xiaodong. He was slightly younger than Lin Ming. He and Lin Ming grew up together, and they were close brothers.

Lin Xiaodong was actually a direct descendant of the Lin family, but even though he was a direct descendant, the direct descendant also had a high and low status in the family. Lin Xiaodong happened to belong to the bottom line. Lin Xiaodong's parents were also in business and lived very close to Lin Ming's family.

Lin Ming glanced at Lin Xiaodong, then turned to the tree stump, and said, "There are a lot of people who signed up at the beginning. It takes an hour or two to wait in line. It's a waste of time to wait there."

"Come on, don't let this time go, don't you?" Lin Xiaodong said somewhat exaggeratedly. He approached the tree stump, saw the fist marks and bloodstains on the tree stump, and then looked at Lin Ming, who was covered in bandages. With both hands, he took a breath and said, "You are really crazy, you have beaten Tiemu like this, and with such a practice, if you rely on Tiemen grass alone, your hand will be injured, or it will be useless! "

Lin Ming didn't say a word. The way to practice martial arts is to fight for fate with the heavens. With his third-rank talent, it is very difficult to enter the sixth stage of body training. If he doesn't fight when he is young, there is absolutely no hope. Although dark wounds may be accumulated and disabled, they may also be successful before the accumulation of dark wounds occurs. Once they successfully enter the pulse condensation stage, the body will be tempered with true essence, and the dark wounds will disappear.

For Lin Ming, this was a last-ditch battle, and it was a gamble that cost his life.

Lin Xiaodong sighed, took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and said, "Brother Ming, this is for you."

Lin Ming turned his head to look, but saw a blood-red blood ginseng lying quietly in the cloth bag. This blood ginseng seemed to be at least a hundred years old. It was an excellent medicine for healing wounds and nourishing blood. One slice was used at a time. It was enough, and the medicinal properties were mild and powerful. Just this ginseng was worth at least one hundred and fifty taels of gold, which was equivalent to the income of Lin Ming's family for a year.

Lin Ming paused for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't ask for this blood ginseng."

Brothers belong to brothers, but this blood ginseng is too precious. Lin Xiaodong's family is only the last of the direct descendants of the Lin family. Although the family is much better than Lin Ming's family, if it is used for Lin Xiaodong's cultivation, it will not be very rich.

Lin Xiaodong forced the blood ginseng to Lin Ming and said, "I bought this blood ginseng for you. I practiced for three days and fished for two days. My body is a little bigger, so using this is a waste, you don't have to. I bought it for nothing, it would be boring if you push it back. In fact, my dad doesn’t have any high demands on me. He just hopes that I can keep the number one of the direct line of the Lin family in my life. Don’t lose the number one for the next generation already."

Lin Ming was silent for a while, but he still put the blood ginseng away, and said, "Okay, I have accepted this blood ginseng, so I'll go to this ginseng, and I have to break through the congealing state."

"Haha, this is just like what you said, not only to break through the condensing pulse, but also to overthrow that Zhu Yan, this son of a bitch, I have long thought that he is not pleasing to the eye!"

Is it Zhu Yan... Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his talent was not bad, but Zhu Yan's talent was unparalleled. Zhu Yan had already been admitted to the Seven Profound Martial Palace, and he was one of the senior disciples of the Palace of Heaven. At the peak of the third physique, even so, Lin Ming still set himself the goal of surpassing Zhu Yan, not because of Lan Yunyue, but because of the pursuit of martial arts, one has to cross one threshold after another, climb over one after another. Even if he could catch up with Zhu Yan in this life, it might take more than ten years, or even decades!

...

At the foot of Dazhou Mountain, there is a building complex that stretches for 20 miles. This is where Qixuanwufu and Tianyunwufu are located. Today is the day of registration for the entrance examination of Qixuanwufu. In the square in front of the main entrance of Qixuanwufu up, a crowd of people gathered.

Lin Ming and Lin Xiaodong had deliberately delayed the time, but when they walked to the square, they found that they had underestimated the number of applicants. There were three lines of applicants, each of which was dozens of meters long. time.

"Wait." Lin Xiaodong sighed and stood helplessly at the end of the line.

"En." Lin Ming nodded.

"Hey, there are very few people there." Lin Xiaodong pointed to a small door not far away, where there were only a few sparse people, and there was a red carpet on the ground.

"That's the noble district..." Lin Ming noticed the words written on the sign.

Since the Seven Xuanwu Mansion was established in the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom, using the land, buildings, and resources of the Heavenly Fortune Kingdom, it would naturally give some face to the elites, and even many affairs of the martial arts would be handed over to the elites, such as today's Enrollment.

"Fuck." Lin Xiaodong muttered unhappily. Nobles need royal canonization, which is a hereditary honor. Although the Lin family is rich, they are not nobles.

Lin Xiaodong was about to scold a few words of a noble worm or something to find some psychological balance, but at this moment, the door was pushed open, and two young men walked out from the door, one of them was wearing a blue shirt and wearing a delicate long sword on his waist. With a golden crown on his head, he looks very handsome.

Lin Ming frowned slightly when he saw this man. This man was Zhu Yan.

The daughter of the Zhu family married into the royal family and became the emperor's favorite concubine. Because of this, the Zhu family became the first family in Qingsang City without any suspense, and was named a noble, so Zhu Yan was able to guide Lan Yunyue into the Seven Profound Martial Palace.

"Damn, I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, I bumped into a ghost." Lin Xiaodong muttered unhappily.

Zhu Yan walked out side by side with the young man. A few entourages who were waiting outside the noble district followed the two. Judging from the situation, Zhu Yan brought the young man to sign up. Of course you will meet.

With Lin Ming's status and strength, once he ran into him, he might suffer a loss, but Lin Ming didn't run away, he just watched Zhu Yan approach so calmly.

Zhu Yan's footsteps paused slightly, and he saw Lin Ming and Lin Xiaodong. He was slightly startled at first, then frowned, seeing Lin Ming made him extremely unhappy. Although he had already snatched Lan Yunyue, she refused all intimacy before marriage. Obviously, Lan Yunyue still had Lin Ming in her heart, and she felt some guilt. She chose herself only because of the Seven Profound Martial Palace. , No man can tolerate his future wife with another person in his heart, and so is Zhu Yan.

"Your name is Lin Ming, right? I didn't expect you to follow me here. You want to test the Seven Profound Martial Palace for your first-level body training?"

The irony in Zhu Yan's words was obvious. He would never allow Lin Ming to enter the Seven Profound Martial Palace. Even if Lin Ming's strength was not worth mentioning to him at all, as long as this guy stayed in the Seven Profound Martial Palace for one day, he wanted so much. It was impossible for Lan Yunyue to forget Lin Ming.

"It's my problem whether I can pass the test or not. I didn't follow anyone to get here. I came to the Seven Profound Martial Palace just to pursue my martial arts."

"Martial arts? How dare you say that you are pursuing martial arts even if you are an upper-middle-class talented kid? What a shame!" Zhu Yan said here, the bones of his knuckles made a soft sound, and the long sword at his waist seemed to be spiritually shed. out! Zhu Yan slashed into the air with his sword in his hand, and with the piercing sound of the sword energy breaking through the air, a faintly visible ripple was quickly drawn out, directly cutting off half of the crown of a big tree not far away.

With the rustling sound, a large number of branches and leaves fell to the ground, and the eyes of the surrounding people widened. After all, most of them are about the same age as Zhu Yan, and they are not even a few years younger. Leave them out of reach.

Zhu Yan wielded this sword to give Lin Ming a slap in the face and let him understand the gap between the two. "I am a talent of the fourth rank. I learned martial arts at the age of twelve, and I have used countless elixir. Now that I have entered the Seven Profound Martial Palace, the Heavenly Palace Sword Sect, and cultivated at the peak of the third level of physical training, it is only a first glimpse of the threshold of martial arts, and you are only practicing physical fitness. In the first stage, An dares to talk about martial arts!"

Zhu Yan spoke aggressively, and Lin Xiaodong became angry, "The surname is Zhu! You were only born two years earlier than us. What the heck, if you change your age, I will knock you over with one hand!"

Zhu Yan frowned, turned his face to look at Lin Xiaodong, took a step forward at will, and his body burst into true energy, "Who are you?"

"I..." Lin Xiaodong was oppressed by Zhu Yan's aura, and a sentence was stuck in his throat. He took a step back, swallowed, patted his chest and said, "Little Master Lin Xiaodong, remember it!"

"Lin Xiaodong? Hmph, the children of the Lin family deserve to be counted on one hand. You are a clown jumping on the beam, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? Not only you, but also you, Lin Ming, if it wasn't for Lan Yunyue, you wouldn't be with me at all. Qualifications for dialogue! I advise you to be a person with self-knowledge, Lan Yunyue is not something you can afford."

Qingsangcheng's talent has reached the third rank, and there are very few girls with good looks and temperament, and most of them are concentrated in the big family, and the conflict of interests between the big families is serious, how can a good woman marry someone else Clan, to strengthen the blood of others, most of them will ask the man to join the clan, that's why Zhu Yan said this.

"One thousand taels of gold, don't show up in front of me in the future!" Zhu Yan said, and took out a stack of golden tickets from his sleeve.

The people around were stunned. One thousand taels of gold was an extremely exaggerated amount. It was enough for a martial artist in the training stage to use advanced herbs in two or three years.

"One thousand taels of gold, you're begging for it!" Lin Xiaodong pushed the golden ticket back. In fact, he was just a swollen face and a fat man. One thousand taels of gold was also a huge amount of wealth for him.

Zhu Yan shook his hand, and a powerful anti-shock force directly shook Lin Xiaodong out. He looked at Lin Ming coldly, waiting for Lin Ming's answer.

Lin Ming took a deep breath and said slowly and powerfully, "Zhu Yan, in terms of talent, I'm not as good as you, and in terms of family background, I'm not as good as you, but Xiuwu is not only looking at the support of talent and financial resources, but also the most important thing— Xiang Wu's heart!"

"You cultivate martial arts for wealth, status, and vanity. I cultivate martial arts for the pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts. The martial arts are not for the talented, nor for the rich and powerful, but for those who are devoted to martial arts. One day, I will surpass you!" Lin Ming said the last sentence almost word for word, his voice was clear, and everyone nearby could hear it clearly.

The third-grade talent wants to catch up with the fourth-grade talent, and there is a huge gap in family background, this kid is really crazy!

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Okay, very good! I'll be waiting for you!" After he finished speaking, he put away the golden ticket, followed by a humming sound, the long sword Returning to the sheath, Zhu Yan gave Lin Ming a deep look and turned away.
