Chapter 30 You, Damn It!
"Luo Xiu! Luo Xiu! Luo Xiu!..."
After winning the competition, Luo Xiu's name instantly became extremely popular among the many students of the Martial Hall.
Countless people were cheering in the audience, especially those students from poor families, who all regarded him as their idol.
The strong rise of a commoner who was originally unknown will undoubtedly become a legendary event of the Qingyun City Martial Hall for a long time.
Enjoying the admiration of countless people and the aura of genius, Luo Xiu's heart is very calm.
He knows very well how all this came about.
If the fusion of the Life and Death Pearl gave him the prerequisite to become a martial arts master, then the hard training and life and death trials over the past five months have made him have his current strength and status.
If Luo Xiu's greatest gain is that he understands a truth, the real strong are made of blood and fire, and they have to stand firm through many hardships, that is the strong!
Physical training is just a martial arts, and he still has a long and long way to go in the future.
Luo Xiu walked down from the competition stage, and the crowd automatically made a path. The students of the martial arts hall, whether they were the elites of the elementary class, intermediate class, or advanced class, looked at him with awe and admiration.
Xu Fei, who stood beside Liu Yuxin like a flower protector, also bowed his head at this moment, and no longer dared to have the slightest thought of opposing Luo Xiu.
"You'd better not provoke him in the future." Xu Fei's cousin Zhao Qishuang said with a wry smile. During the competition, he was still very disdainful of Luo Xiu. Who would have thought that he could go this far?
Liu Yuxin also stared at Luo Xiu, but from beginning to end, Luo Xiu didn't even look at her.
She looked sad, biting her red lips, regretful in her heart, but she could only laugh at herself.
She thought that he was not qualified to be worthy of her at all.
Now, she is not even qualified to be looked at by him...
"Luo Xiu, follow me."
The competition had just ended, and the martial arts hall elder Zhuang Nantian appeared in front of Luo Xiu.
In the deepest part of the Martial Hall, there is a palace where the Lord of the Martial Hall sits.
In the hall of the hall, except for the elder who guards the collection of millions of novels, the other four elders are all in the temple. The Lord of the Martial Hall sits high in the main seat, overlooking the bottom.
"Student Luo Xiu pays homage to the Lord of the Hall, elders." Luo Xiu stepped forward, stood in the center of the hall, and saluted respectfully.
He knew very well that the few people in front of him held the highest power in the entire Qingyun City!
Not only in Yunlong County, but also in every city in Tianwu Country, the status of the Martial Hall is the highest.
"Luo Xiu, you won the championship in the martial arts competition and ranked first. This is your reward."
The Lord of the Martial Hall spoke slowly, and then a maid walked out of the side hall, holding a jade plate with both hands, covered with red cloth.
Three maids, three jade plates, Luo Xiu's eyes flashed, and he was very curious about what reward he would get.
"Wow!"
After uncovering the red cloth on the first jade plate, he saw a palm-sized green token on the jade plate.
"With this token, you can enter the third floor of the collection of hundreds of thousands of novels and choose any fourth-grade martial arts!" The master of the martial arts hall said.
"Choose any?" Luo Xiu was shocked. He thought it was great to get a fourth-grade martial arts, but he didn't expect that he could choose any.
Doesn't this mean that his internal strength, martial arts, and body movements can all practice fourth-grade martial arts?
Then, the red cloth on the second jade plate was unveiled, and a delicate jade bottle was placed on it.
"This is a Qi Condensation Pill, a second-grade pill. After taking it, you can break through the peak of the ninth level of body refining, enter the Qi Sea, and become a warrior!"
Luo Xiu's eyes trembled, knowing the preciousness of this pill. Generally, if a martial artist at the peak of the ninth level of body refining wants to break through the Qi Sea, he needs to accumulate strong internal energy and try to impact the Dantian again and again. It takes at least half a year or even a year to enter the Qi Sea.
If you take a Qi Condensation Pill, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you can succeed in one fell swoop, saving half a year or even a year of hard training time.
Such a second-grade pill can only be bought with at least one thousand low-grade Yuanqi stones in Qingyun City.
Then, the red cloth on the third jade plate was removed, and on it was a bowl-sized bronze disc, engraved with many patterns and runes, similar to the spirit gathering array device he used.
"This is a second-level spirit gathering array device, which can increase your cultivation efficiency by four times!"
The four-fold cultivation efficiency means that Luo Xiu's cultivation for one day is equivalent to four days for others, while the first-level spirit gathering array device he originally used only doubled the cultivation efficiency.
This second-level spirit gathering array device is much more valuable than the second-grade Condensing Qi Pill, and is worth nearly two thousand Yuanqi stones!
The reward for ranking first is amazing!
The Condensing Qi Pill and the array device alone are worth more than three thousand Yuanqi stones, and the reward of any fourth-grade martial arts is even more priceless!
"Thank you for the reward, Palace Master!" Luo Xiu bowed and saluted to thank him.
The master of the Martial Hall smiled slightly, "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. For geniuses, the Martial Hall will not be stingy with resources to cultivate them."
After the voice fell, the master of the Martial Hall turned his head and looked at the elder Zhuang Nantian below.
"Bring him up!"
Zhuang Nantian stood up and shouted loudly.
At the entrance of the hall, Luo Xiu heard footsteps coming, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, and saw two blue-armored guards escorting a middle-aged man in brocade clothes.
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes looked haggard. When he saw Luo Xiu standing in the center of the hall, his eyes suddenly became stern.
"Luo Xiu, this man is the head of the Zhang family in Qingyun City, Zhang Shaoxiong."
Zhuang Nantian said slowly: "You destroyed Zhang Hai's meridians in the duel. Zhang Shaoxiong held a grudge and hired a hunting team led by Chen Hu to kill you. The Martial Hall has obtained definite evidence, so he was arrested."
"It is indeed the Zhang family!" Luo Xiu understood immediately. In fact, he was most suspicious of the Zhang family at the beginning, but he had no evidence.
"The Zhang family can stand in Qingyun City, but it is not without background. One of the ancestors of the Zhang family is a ninth-level innate martial artist and an outer door steward of Xiaoyaomen. Not long ago, the ancestor of the Zhang family sent a message to save Zhang Shaoxiong's life."
Zhuang Nantian continued, making Luo Xiu frown.
"According to the rules, murdering students in the Martial Hall is a capital crime, but with the Zhang family ancestor here, this matter is a little special. Do you understand what I said?" After Zhuang Nantian finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xiu and asked.
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Student understands, the elder means that the Zhang family has the ancestor as a backer, and cannot be killed?"
"You are right, but not right!" Zhuang Nantian smiled slightly, "Although the Zhang family ancestor is an outer gate steward, he can't interfere in the affairs of the Qingyun City Martial Hall. As long as you say a word, you can decide the life and death of Zhang Shaoxiong!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoxiong's face changed, but in front of the Martial Hall Master and the elders, he didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, the Martial Hall Master said lightly: "Luo Xiu, this is a choice for you. With your talent, you will definitely enter Xiaoyao Gate. Any disciple starts from the outer gate, and the Zhang family ancestor is an outer gate steward..."
The Martial Hall Master didn't say it clearly, but Luo Xiu could also hear the meaning.
"If I kill Zhang Shaoxiong, I will offend the Zhang family ancestor who is the outer sect steward, but if I don't kill him..."
Luo Xiu frowned. In his opinion, even if he didn't kill Zhang Shaoxiong, the Zhang family ancestor might not remember his favor.
What's more, if you want to reach the peak of martial arts, if you are afraid of the consequences, it will inevitably affect your martial arts heart.
For someone who wants to put him to death, Luo Xiu thinks Zhang Shaoxiong deserves to die!
At the same time, he also understands that the master of the martial arts hall asked him to make a choice, which is actually a test for him. If he is afraid of the Zhang family ancestor, it will inevitably leave the impression of fear of power to the high-level officials of the martial arts hall. To put it nicely, he is a man of insight, but to put it bluntly, he is timid and cowardly!
Just when Luo Xiu was thinking about the pros and cons, Elder Zhuang Nantian suddenly said: "There is another thing. Just a few days ago, the Zhang family sent people to Panshi Town and arrested your parents and sister."
"What!" Luo Xiu's face changed instantly.
"This... This is not what I did!" Zhang Shaoxiong was also confused, "I didn't send anyone to arrest Luo Xiu's parents!"
"How dare you! How can you make a noise in front of the Palace Master?" An elder shouted coldly, and the majestic momentum rushed out. Under the pressure, Zhang Shaoxiong was silent and trembling.
"You said it was not you, then why did the Zhang family send people to arrest my parents and sister?"
Luo Xiu shouted angrily, with murderous intent in his eyes, "You, deserve to die! It's not a pity to die!"
Parents and sister are definitely the reverse scales that Luo Xiu cannot touch. Not to mention that the Zhang family has the old ancestor behind them, even if it is the head of Xiaoyao Sect, he doesn't care.
I don't care what your background is. If you dare to touch my relatives, I will kill you!
"Take it out and kill it!" The master of the Martial Hall was indifferent without anger.
"Yes!" Two blue-armored guards immediately arrested Zhang Shaoxiong.
"It wasn't me! Master, spare me! Master..." Zhang Shaoxiong screamed, but the high-level officials of the Martial Hall were indifferent. A small family head in the secular world was just an ant in their eyes.
Seeing Zhang Shaoxiong being dragged out, Luo Xiu was still furious.
"Luo Xiu, you are brave and bold at a young age, but you must know that when you enter the Xiaoyao Outer Gate, the Zhang family ancestor will definitely find a chance to deal with you." The master of the Martial Hall said.
"I understand, but I'm not afraid!"
Luo Xiu bowed respectfully, "Please tell me where my parents and sister are?"
"You can rest assured that they are safe and sound." The master of the Martial Hall said.
Luo Xiu hurriedly thanked him and breathed a sigh of relief.
He also knew that if it weren't for his talent and strength, the high-level officials of the Martial Hall would definitely not treat him specially. After all, strength is still the key in this world.
Only when one's strength is strong can one ensure that the people around him are safe and no one dares to move.
Just like the master of the martial arts hall sitting in Qingyun City, it is a powerful deterrent, no one dares to act rashly!
"Since there is no worry, then you can practice with peace of mind and strive to break through the Qi Hai realm as soon as possible. When you become a Qi Hai warrior, I will recommend you to participate in the outer sect assessment."
The master of the martial arts hall slowly spoke and said: "Among the fourth-grade martial arts, I suggest that you do not choose another internal skill, because the Pure Yang Gong you practice is itself an extremely high-level internal skill.
The reason why it is listed as a third-grade internal skill is that the Pure Yang Gong is too difficult to practice, but if you practice it, the effect of practice is unmatched by many fourth-grade internal skills. When you join the Xiaoyao outer sect, you can practice an internal skill that is in the same lineage as the Pure Yang Gong, called Xiantian Gong!"
