Chapter 88 - Celestial Lake DemonHeavenly Star Martial Palace!
Within a grand courtyard, the furnishings in the hall were all ancient and fragrant, exuding a simple yet elegant and free aura. Compared to the other places in Capital City, it was a little less luxurious, and a little more ancient.
"Soon, it will be the time for our students to go out and gain experience. This year"s location will be in the "Heaven Lake Mountain Range". Who"s willing to lead the way?"
President Jiang stood at the top of the great hall, his gentle eyes carrying a trace of the majesty of someone in charge.
The ten coaches sat on the wide chairs on both sides of the hall.
These ten instructors were the core members of the Heavenly Star Martial Palace. Compared to the other coaches, every single one of them had an extraordinary ability to take charge of themselves.
However, when the few of them heard the words" Heaven Lake Mountain Range ", they could not help but slightly frown.
Anyone would know that the Heaven Lake Mountain Range was not the best mountain area to be considered one of the most dangerous mountain ranges in the Saint Star Dynasty.
Beasts ran rampant there, poisonous insects, snakes and ants were everywhere, and many people from all sorts of different races were gathered there. There were even some people from different races who were isolated from the world …There was danger in all of these factors!
Seeing that no one replied, Song Chenglie stood up and said, "President Jiang, City Hunt is willing to lead the way."
No matter what, in front of them, Song Chenglie would always be the first person to ever stand up.Then, the President Jiang shook his head slightly, "City Hunt, you are now an elder of our inst.i.tution. Leading a team to gain experience is not suitable for you."
"Then, I recommend Master Shadowless …" Song Chenglie said.Shadowless?
Everyone"s eyes then swept over to a skinny black clothed man.
However, what made everyone speechless was that Shadowless was leaning back in his chair like a pile of mud. His eyes were narrowed, and he exuded a pungent smell of alcohol. From time to time, snoring sounds could be heard."This b.a.s.t.a.r.d …" The corner of Song Chenglie"s eyes twitched, he really had the urge to kick his opponent to the ground. It was one thing to be drunk all day, but to be sleeping at a time like this.
The other instructors secretly sighed, but President Jiang did not say anything, it was not the first time they saw this kind of situation. Everyone seemed to be accustomed to Shadowless"s faux pas.
Although the other party only knew how to drink wine, no one could doubt his ability to teach.
However, with him acting like this, leading the team wouldn"t be a dream."Instructor Xi Lan, among all the instructors here, you are the only one who has not led the team. You can carry out the mission for the Heaven Lake Mountain Range!" President Jiang suddenly said.
In a split-second, everyone"s eyes swept across the figure of a refined beauty.
From the very beginning, Xi Lan listened quietly without saying a word. However, no one could ignore her existence. Her long purple hair was smooth and beautiful, and her exquisite face looked like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world under the light from outside the door.
"The Heaven Lake Mountain Range is fraught with danger at every turn, and there are even more gathered people of the Nine Mystical Sects. Xi Lan is afraid that it will be difficult for him to protect the students" safety …" Xi Lan parted her red lips and spoke with a voice as gentle as rain.
"Instructor Xi Lan, although the safety of the students is important, no matter how talented you are, you will never be able to find a flower that grows in a greenhouse. The young eagle, who had never experienced a life and death struggle, was destined to never grow up. I hope that you will put in more effort for the sake of these children who have not yet grown up. "I believe that you will be able to complete this mission …"Xi Lan did not speak. Her eyes that were limpid like autumn water emitted a strange darkness.
"Other than that, I will send two experienced senior instructors to a.s.sist you. I wonder what Instructor Xi Lan thinks about this?" President Jiang replied.
Xi Lan"s beautiful eyes moved, she thought for a bit, and in the end, still nodded her head."Then, this trip to the Heaven Lake Mountain Range will be hard on Instructor Xi Lan. Also, if you meet any teams from any other High Martial House, try not to come into contact with them … "
With that, the President Jiang turned his gaze towards Song Chenglie and said, "City Hunting Elder, you must immediately issue an announcement. All students who have entered the academy for less than three years and have a cultivation base at the ninth level of the Invigorated Meridian Realm or above can sign up to partic.i.p.ate in this event. "The mission for this event is called "Heaven Lake Shou Yao"."
"Yes, President Jiang!"
… ….Maple Tree!
Nearly a thousand wooden stakes of different sizes and heights were randomly placed on top of the Maple Plaza.
The role of the Maple Tree Stance could increase the student"s balance and coordination, as well as their reaction sensitivity … Important functions. There was a formation underneath the tree. Once the formation was activated, the wooden pillars that were originally in a fixed position would move as they pleased.
Whenever this happened, the number of people who dared to stay on the wooden pile could be counted on one hand."Rumble …"
At this moment, the wooden pile formation seemed to be in the state of activation.A young figure was moving back and forth on the wooden pile beneath him. The youth was holding a dark golden, black-patterned spear.
Three Chi long spear light surrounded the spear"s body.
Even though the wooden stake would only move once every two seconds, Chu Hen"s body was still as steady as if he was walking on flat ground.Furthermore, when Chu Hen was at different heights, when he was moving on wooden poles with different lengths, stones, leaves, branches would fly out from all directions from the plaza … Waiting for the trash of a "hidden weapon".
When the wooden pile formation was activated, the miscellaneous items on the ground would become concealed weapons.This directly increased the difficulty of the wooden pile formation.
"Ding!"
Chu Hen struck with his spear and deflected the incoming stone, the powerful spear light directly shattered the incoming stone into pieces.
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, a maple leaf that was as red as fire flew over from the right side, accompanied by a rapid gust of wind, and a series of red afterimages appeared in the air.At the same time, the wooden stake under Chu Hen"s feet shifted to another place in an instant.
Facing this consecutive "crisis", Chu Hen did not panic in the slightest. When he lost his focus, his waist exerted a force, and his entire body was almost parallel to the ground.
Following that, with a twist of his body, the Devil Slayer was sent out and accurately pierced into the maple leaf.
The sharp point of the spear pierced through the leaves of the maple leaf and lifted it towards the end.
Following that, Chu Hen once again somersaulted and steadily landed on the empty ground outside the wooden pile formation.
"Buzz!"
Then, the leaf at the tip of the Devil Slayer shattered into fine dust like a burst of foam.… ….
"Good skill!" At this moment, a hearty laugh sounded out.Chu Hen turned around, and saw that the one who came was He Qingyuan.
"Senior brother Qing Yuan!"
"Hehe, Junior Brother Chu Hen is truly talented. It"s only been less than half a month and you"ve already reached such a level, you really make me ashamed!""Senior brother Qing Yuan, you must be joking."
"No, no, absolutely not. I only managed to stand firmly on the wooden stake after half a month." Back then, we were even mocked by Senior Brother Ji Xian for a long time! "
Ji Xian?
Chu Hen was slightly surprised. He had seen this name before on Nebula Pavilion"s Star Division Ranking.
Ji Xian was ranked first on the Star score, and was also one of the direct disciples of Instructor Xi Lan. The amount of star points acc.u.mulated to more than a hundred thousand. Ji Xian was undoubtedly the strongest in the Heavenly Star Martial Palace.
"Junior Brother Chu Hen, with your talent, you might even be able to compare to Senior Brother Ji Xian in the future." He Qingyuan said.Chu Hen laughed, and did not say much on this matter, and immediately asked: "Senior brother Qing Yuan, why are you alone? "What about the others?"
Today was the day that Xi Lan would teach.
Due to the previous times" impolite ", Chu Hen had come early today.
He Qingyuan shook his head, "Today"s lesson is canceled."
"It"s been cancelled again?" Chu Hen was startled.
He Qingyuan also didn"t think it was funny. It had already been so long, but Chu Hen had never heard Xi Lan teach a single lesson. He Qingyuan patted Chu Hen"s shoulder, and said, "That"s right! Three days from now, we will be going to the Heaven Basin Mountain Range to train, and this will be the first time that Teacher Xi Lan is going there with a group.
"The Heaven Lake Mountain Range?"A flash of astonishment flashed across Chu Hen"s eyes. Wasn"t Big Brother Long Qingyang heading towards the Heaven Lake Mountain Range?
It had already been half a month since the last Star Armadominus event. During this period, Chu Hen had twice gone to find Long Xuanshuang to inquire about news of him, but the other party had never returned.
This had always been a little uneasy in Chu Hen"s heart.
If he were to visit the Heaven Lake Mountain Range this time, perhaps he might be able to check it out along the way.
"Senior brother Qing Yuan, can the newbies go?" Chu Hen asked.
"Yes, the registration for "Heaven Lake Shou Yao" is for students below three years of age who are at least at the ninth level of the Invigorated Meridian realm. You can partic.i.p.ate.""Is that so?" Chu Hen"s eyes lit up.
"Mm, let"s go back and prepare!" "We"ll gather at the Seven Stars Plaza in three days."
… ….
After conversing with He Qingyuan for a while, Chu Hen returned to the place he stayed at.
The news of the experiential learning operation on the "Heaven Lake Divine Demon" had already spread throughout the Heavenly Star Martial Palace.
Upon hearing that the one leading the group was Instructor Xi Lan, everyone rushed to register. Of course, there were also a small number of people who were afraid of the crisis in the Heaven Lake Mountain Range and were unwilling to partic.i.p.ate in this event.
Chu Hen who had returned to his residence started to do a simple tidying up.
"There are still three days, I can consume the Origin Acc.u.mulation Pill …."
In the past few days or so, Chu Hen had basically practiced the Devil Slayer s method perfectly on the wooden pile formation and also studied the < sealing="" glacier="" seal=""> skill that he had just started to master. Now that the True Essence within his body had become more stable, it was the right time to consume the Origin Acc.u.mulating Pill.
"Weng …"With a flash of white light, a small jade bottle appeared in her hand.
After removing the stopper, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from the bottle. Chu Hen poured the Origin Acc.u.mulating Pill into his palm, and the dark red pill contained a hidden and restless energy.Chu Hen"s eyes surged with a faint heat.
"This Origin Containment Pill should be able to help me break through the fourth stage of the The stage of the Natal Opening Realm!" Immediately, Chu Hen popped the Origin Acc.u.mulation Pill into his mouth, and the pill dissolved in his mouth as it slid down his throat and entered his stomach.
In an instant, a surge of powerful energy spread out from Chu Hen"s body like a raging hot spring …
