The Name of Eternity

In Courtyard A, fifty people have become familiar with each other after spending half a month together.

At least we can call each other by name.

"Yuanzhao, you guys from the Shenjiang Mansion are really awesome. You are obviously a new student, but you almost made it to the top ten."

Sitting on the grass, the slender Du Yueqiu sighed to Li Yuanzhao.

She is an old student, she is eighteen years old, the most beautiful age, but she is already considered an "elderly" in Hospital A.

Before the start of school, she was still in the top ten of the martial arts rankings, but now she is ranked outside the fifteenth place.

It's just that the freshmen in this class are so fierce. There are seven from the Divine General's Mansion alone, and there are two princes from the royal family, not to mention.

In addition, there are children of a certain grandmaster and princesses of a certain city, all with scary backgrounds, totaling thirteen in total.

They, the old students, had worked hard for many years before they reached the perfection of the Zhoutian realm, and these new students had already reached the perfection of the Zhoutian realm when they arrived, or they were close to it and came to school with their own rich family backgrounds.

Moreover, although their realms were the same, there was a gap in the level of Luck Method and Pulse Pulse Method practiced by each other, resulting in a power difference that was almost doubled. They were no match at all, and were severely shocked by these descendants of the supreme authority of Dayu.

"It's okay, I'm only sixth, not even close." Li Yuanzhao said, scratching his head.

"..."

Du Qiuyue was speechless.

Next to him, Zheng Bai, another young master from a well-known family in Liangzhou, smiled bitterly.

Also a freshman, he was only ranked 38th.

The only ones who can bully the old students are these guys with great backgrounds. They, the children of aristocratic families, still have to behave and accept the teachings of the old students.

In the field, someone was exchanging skills.

Du Qiuyue looked at the martial arts list with complicated eyes.

Now among the top five, only one old student is struggling to support himself, which seems to represent the last dignity of these old students.

The two princes ranked first and second respectively. The royal family's Pulse Pulsing Technique and Luck Technique were unparalleled in the world. As a prince, they naturally practiced it.

The third ranked person is Wang Han from Tianzhao Divine General's Mansion. Seeing this name, Du Qiuyue's eyes changed slightly. Apart from the prince, the most feared person in Courtyard A is currently Wang Han.

Although he is only fifteen years old, his attacks are fierce and decisive, and his moves are fierce. He is completely unlike others. He looks like he has been baptized by blood and fire.

Someone found out that Wang Han seemed to have served in the Qianhe Division for a year.

Ranked fourth is the grandmaster's daughter. It is said that she has understood the heart of the sword and her swordsmanship is superb and extremely terrifying.

Ranked fifth is the old student, who was once number one on the martial arts list, and his marksmanship has reached the top level of perfection. He fought with Li Yuanzhao yesterday and won by half a move.

Next to him, Li Yuanzhao ranked sixth, followed by his two brothers and sisters, Li Yun and Li Zhining.

"Strange, your brother Hao, why isn't he here?"

Du Qiuyue shifted her gaze, scanned around the courtyard, and asked curiously.

She was more interested in Li Hao. After all, she heard Li Yuanzhao talking about Brother Hao next to her. When the two of them were together, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Yuanzhao respected the boy who was similar to him very much.

This is surprising.

However, every time the lecture ended, the man would run away as fast as he could to go to the latrine.

In their spontaneous discussions and exchanges, martial arts ranking challenges, etc., they never saw each other's shadow, just like people who were outside the First Academy.

Even when she was teaching, every time she glanced over, she would see that the other person was either sleeping on his stomach, or holding something like a book and keeping notes.

So hardworking? At first, she secretly admired him, but then she accidentally saw it and realized that there was no word in the book, and it was all sketches.

The paintings are all ferocious monsters, and they all seem to be from the aquatic tribe...

In addition, there are many paintings by Teacher Su Yehua, many of which are interspersed. Some of the paintings have cat ears, tails, etc., making Teacher Su Yehua look like a demon that has not fully transformed.

This is graffiti.

But despite this, Du Qiuyue can still see that this painting is exquisite and lifelike, and it cannot be done casually. It must have been hard work.

However, everyone is a warrior, who has this free time to use elsewhere?

"Brother Hao should have gone to play." Li Yuanzhao said disapprovingly.

He has long been accustomed to Li Hao's style, and he is practicing with them? Just kidding, the aunt tried hard to persuade her, but there was no sign of Brother Hao in the martial arts arena.

Ever since he was young, Brother Hao has never hung out with his peers unless they took the initiative to find him.

"Playing..." Du Qiuyue and Zheng Bai were dumbfounded when they heard Li Yuanzhao speak so easily.

From the whips on their buttocks to the canes on their backs, the word "hard work" has already been engraved on them.

play?

They also want to, but they dare not.

In the words of their father:

"What you are playing with now is time, but what you will play with in the future is your life!"

“If you don’t endure hardships, how can you become a master?”

"The prosperity of the family depends entirely on you. How can you be so lazy and lethargic to live up to your ancestors?!"

"Play" is such a frivolous word, but it is so far away from them, like a taboo, unspeakable.

"Won't he participate in the martial arts rankings? If so, he will be challenged by the disciples of the Second Academy, and he will be demoted to the Second Academy." Du Qiuyue hesitated.

Li Yuanzhao opened his eyes slightly angrily: "Who dares! If anyone challenges Brother Hao then, I will demote him to the second hospital and challenge him again!"

Du Qiuyue: "..."

Zheng Bai: "..."

Good guy, this is too overbearing.

"Behind you is the Divine General's Mansion. No one should be willing to challenge you. But in the test of the Minghe War in a year's time, you can only rely on yourself."

Du Qiuyue said angrily: "For the task of slaying monsters outside, we can also rely on the adults in the family to secretly send experts to protect us, but we can only rely on ourselves in the Minghe River Battle Realm, and we can't go with others. The Minghe River Battle Realm used for testing can only be done by ourselves." One person can enter at a time.”

"That's true."

Li Yuanzhao frowned slightly and thought for a while: "Tell Brother Hao about this later."

Du Qiuyue was speechless. The young master of the Divine General's Mansion didn't take this matter to heart at all?

…

…

On the mountain behind the A courtyard, there is a waterfall.

Two figures were sitting on the edge of the cliff at the top of the waterfall, drinking and playing chess, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a figure jumped up from the bottom of the waterfall, jumped over the dozens of feet high waterfall, and landed in front of the two of them without even a drop of water touching it. It was carrying two skewered hares in its hand.

"You kid..." Seeing the person coming, the two elders of the game laughed, and immediately sniffed: "It smells so good!"

Li Hao handed the two roasted hares to the two elders and said with a smile: "Come and have a taste."

The two elders who played chess were Zhao Zongyuan and Shen Yunqing. They were both tutors in the First Academy. They had been completely conquered by Li Hao's delicious food in the past half month.

"Tsk, your skills are really amazing." Shen Yun took a bite and couldn't help but admire.

He and Zhao Zongyuan were both smiling and looking casual at the moment, but when teaching in the courtyard on weekdays, they showed serious dignity as gentlemen. Even the two princes had to be upright and behaved in front of them.

Although the prince is noble, the prince who can come to Tan Gong Academy to study may not be so favored. Maybe he may not live as long as them in the future, and the two of them don't need to be too groveling and flattering the golden order around their waists.

"I've already lost two games to you today. It's time for you to go back to practice martial arts, right?"

While Zhao Zongyuan was eating the hare, he couldn't help but said when he saw Li Hao who was eager to try.

Although he loves to play chess... he doesn't like to lose all the time.

It's still more comfortable to play chess with Fatty Shen. You don't have to worry too much and you can still win.

"Martial arts training is boring, and it's not the martial arts of Black and White Palace." Li Hao said.

"I wanted to learn some unique skills when I first came here, but you think so."

Both of them shook their heads helplessly towards Li Hao. When Li Hao asked them to play chess before, they had tested Li Hao's skills. He was not a slutty playboy, and was even better than most people in the First Academy.

But this kid was not interested in practicing martial arts at all. When they were playing chess, they occasionally wanted to give Li Hao some guidance and give him some pointers, but the result was not good and he was taught a lesson:

"I'm almost losing. Do you still have time to talk to me about anything else?"

"Can you be serious and pick up the chess pieces? Pick up the chess pieces!"

"How about I give you five eyes?"

The two elders were a bit defensive, and they both hated and loved Li Hao.

"Mr. Shen, wine."

Li Hao nuzzled at Shen Yunqing's waist: "You lost two mouthfuls to me today, and I haven't even given you yet."

The corner of Shen Yunqing's mouth twitched. Originally, it was only given to Zhao Zongyuan, but now he has a small mouth, and his Zui Feng Brewing is almost not enough for him to drink.

I hope I will admit defeat. He hummed softly and threw the wine gourd to Li Hao: "Take it easy, you are still young."

Li Hao chuckled, uncorked the bottle and took two sips, then wiped his mouth and said comfortably: "It tastes really good."

The six cooking methods cover a wide range of topics, and he can also brew fine wine himself, but this is too time-consuming and he is too lazy to do it.

Seeing Li Hao's carefree appearance, the two of them had no choice but to eat the hare by themselves.

Li Hao returned the wine gourd to Shen Yunqing, patted his butt and said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, he jumped up and landed on the white rocks outside the waterfall like the wind.

Then he walked around, hummed a tune, and left leisurely.

We just went up to the waterfall, just for a few sips of wine and a hare as a reward for the elders.

"This kid..." Looking at his back, the two of them smiled bitterly. They had never seen such a strange young man.

"By the way, is the movement technique he just performed the top-grade "White Phoenix Kung" you taught?" Zhao Zongyuan asked.

Chen Yun chewed the hare lightly and said vaguely: "That's right, and that kid seems to have practiced it to a perfect level. I really doubt that he really understood the wind-cutting fist that day..."

"Mastered to a perfect level in half a month..."

Zhao Zongyuan was thoughtful and whispered: "Could it be that the news released by the Li family was to deceive others? That Marquis Xingwu has been at the border all year round, and the couple are not around..."

The words are not finished yet, there is no need to say more.

Chen Yun swallowed the hare meat lightly and took a sip of wine. He felt so comfortable that his eyebrows almost fell. He sighed:

"The Marquis is as deep as the sea. Who knows, but this kid is definitely a genius. Wait for Mianhe in a year, and he should be a blockbuster."

Zhao Zongyuan nodded slightly and did not deny it. It just depends on whether Li Hao is willing or not.

Suddenly, he noticed Li Hao's back disappearing around the corner, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is this kid going in the wrong direction?"

"Huh? Didn't you tell him that that side leads to the Ming River?"
