Chapter 627: Boatman

In the evening of that day, Xu Zongchou, the steward of the Holy Martial Academy, came to the Sea Emperor City and summoned the elders of various sects to discuss matters.

In the middle of the night that day, when Elder Hu and Elder Wang came back to discuss matters, they summoned Song Yan and others again.

Elder Hu said solemnly: "Tomorrow, the fifteen of you will go to the Holy Martial Academy by boat, but that doesn't mean you will be able to successfully join the Holy Martial Academy."

Hearing this, except for the six core disciples and Song Yangu Xie Huayu, everyone's heart tightened.

Elder Hu continued: "According to the normal sailing speed, it only takes ten days to travel from Haizhou to Holy Spirit Island. All disciples who have obtained the Holy Martial Order must arrive at Holy Spirit Island within half a month. If they exceed this time limit, their status as college disciples will be revoked." .”

"Elder Hu, what's going on?" Yin Zhengyang couldn't help asking.

Elder Hu ignored him and said directly: "Staff Xu Zongchou conveyed the order of the high-level college. This time, the students going to Holy Spirit Island will go to Holy Spirit Island from four different routes. The college will set up various obstacles along the way. Only those who pass the assessment And these obstacles, in order to continue to the Whitsunday Island."

"what!"

Hearing this news, except for the insider, everyone showed surprise and worry.

Elder Hu continued: "Three people form a group in the late stage of the master, five people in the early stage and the middle stage of the master, a group of ten people in the eighth and ninth levels of qi refining, and a group of thirty people in the eighth level of qi refining. This is your number plate. Tomorrow , you will board the ship with this number plate."

While speaking, Elder Hu handed out fifteen different number plates to Song Yan and others.

The number plates of core disciples are gold, elite disciples are silver, inner disciples are bronze, and outer disciples are red.

Song Yan looked at his own number, it was Copper No. 36, Yin Zhengyang's was No. 37, and Gu Xie Huayu's was No. 38. In other words, the three of them might be divided into a group.

Afterwards, Elder Hu explained some things to everyone before announcing the adjournment of the meeting.

In the early morning of the next day, Haizhou Wharf was crowded with people.

In front of the pier, hundreds of medium-sized ships have been parked side by side.

There are numbers hanging in front of the boat, and students going to Whitsunday Island only need to board the boat according to the corresponding number.

The first to board the ship were the students below the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Students at this level form a group of 30 people and take more than a hundred boats. That is to say, there are more than 3,000 students at this level, and it is unknown how many of them can successfully reach the Holy Spirit Island.

In every ship there is a man at the helm.

However, this man at the helm is not good enough, only at the level of body training, and he is an experienced boatman arranged by Shengwu Academy.

"Set off!"

Xu Zongchou, who was standing on the high platform on the pier, gave an order, and more than a hundred medium-sized ships left the pier quickly.

Then, dozens of small boats arrived, and the hanging numbers also changed accordingly.

Song Yan knew that it was time for disciples of their level to board the ship.

Song Yan and the others got on the fourth boat counting from the left.

In less than a quarter of an hour, another seven students boarded the ship one after another.

Two of them were the ones who came to visit Song Yan yesterday, so they were very happy. After all, Song Yan's strength was already comparable to that of Grandmaster, and it was more secure to be on the same boat as him.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Zongchou on the high platform gave another order, and dozens of small boats left the dock quickly under the control of the boatman.

Apart from Gu Xie Huayu, there were two other women on board Song Yan's boat. After introducing each other, one was Xueyu from Yanyangmen, and the other was Changsun Rou from Mingjiange.

Apart from this, there are two other men who are also from the Yanyang Sect, named Kou Ying and Guan Yong, and the remaining three are the eldest Sun Haoran named Jiange. Although he and eldest Sun Rou are not biological brothers and sisters, they are cousins; The remaining two are Zhouyi and Tianyi from the Wuji Sect, and it was Zhouyi and Tianyi from the Wuji Pavilion who came to visit Song Yan yesterday.

Of the ten people on board, except for Song Yan, the other nine were all at the ninth level of Qi refining.

However, no one dared to underestimate Song Yan.

In the next ten days or so, everyone will be in the same boat, so they all have the idea of ​​building a good relationship with each other. Therefore, in just half an hour, everyone has become extremely familiar, of course, Gu Xie Huayu is an exception.

Suddenly, Song Yan thought of a question.

Elder Hu said last night that the students going to the four parts of Holy Spirit Island will go on the same four routes, but no one told them how to go.

"Everyone, have you got the route map?" Song Yan asked everyone.

"No." The eldest grandson brothers and sisters shook their heads.

"We didn't either!" The two people in the Promise Pavilion shook their heads.

"We still haven't." The three members of Yanyangmen also shook their heads.

"Coincidentally, neither do we!"

Song Yan shrugged, and then their eyes fell on the boatman at the helm.

The people were not fools. Seeing this scene, they immediately understood that most of the route map was on the boatman.

The boatman who took the helm for Song Yan's ten people was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a strong build and a bronze complexion. He wore a sleeveless jacket and coarse cloth shorts, but he didn't wear shoes on his feet. look.

Since everyone boarded the boat, the boatman steered the helm silently without saying a word, appearing very calm.

"What's the name of this big brother?"

Yin Zhengyang stepped forward and asked politely.

"Don't dare, the villain is just a boatman with a humble name Gu San." The boatman said calmly, his tone seemed a little panicked, but his face was still calm.

"So it's Gu Sange, do you have a flight map?" Yin Zhengyang asked.

"No, it's all in my mind." Gu San replied.

Now, everyone was shocked. There was no route map, and only the boatman knew the route. In other words, on the way to the Holy Spirit Island, they had to protect the safety of the boatman. If he was in danger, they might not be able to reach the Holy Spirit Island.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Song Yan with some gratitude.

If he hadn't discovered the problem with the route map, if the boatman were in danger during the next voyage, they might all be eliminated.

"Can you draw the route picture in your mind!"

Song Yan said suddenly, but he was thinking of being prepared, otherwise, if the boatman were in danger, they would become headless chickens.

"The villain has never read a book, so he can't draw!" Gu San politely refused.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi from Wuji Pavilion, who had a quick temper, was a little annoyed. The little boatman dared to make things difficult for them. He was about to scold the boatman, but Song Yan raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother Gu, here is a first-grade elixir. If you draw a route map, this elixir will be yours!"

Song Yan stretched out his hand with a smile, and in his hand lay a green elixir exuding a fragrant breath.

Gu San glanced at the first-grade profound pill lightly, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and said: "My lord, you are embarrassing the villain, the villain really can't draw!"

Insatiable greed, take advantage of the fire!

Seeing the boatman's face, the others were a little angry.

Song Yan smiled, and took out two first-grade black pills and put them in his palm: "These three black pills are enough to upgrade to the Qi refining layer, can we draw now?"

"Since the son is so polite, then the villain will try his best!"

Gu San smiled, revealing two rows of pale yellow teeth.
