Chapter 49 Eighteen Peaks
Chapter 49 Eighteen Peaks
"Brother Hanxue, are you really going to compete with Xie Hao on the Eighteen Peaks tomorrow?" Su Xiaoya looked worried.
"That's right. Since he took the initiative to provoke us, we must not show weakness." Li Hanxue was determined.
"Well, Brother Hanxue, you have to be careful." Su Xiaoya nodded.
Eighteen Peaks is a high peak in the Canglan Academy's martial arts school. There are eighteen large steps leading to the top of the peak. Each step is ten meters high. In the early days of the martial arts school, dozens of masters worked together to build these eighteen steps. Each step is set up with a formation. Any warrior who climbs the steps will have his martial arts true qi suppressed.
The higher the step, the more severely the martial arts true qi is suppressed. Therefore, the higher you climb, the stronger the true qi in the warrior's body is, which can also measure the strength of a warrior. Therefore, these Eighteen Peaks are often used as a means for outer courtyard disciples to hone their martial arts true qi.
Xie Hao invited Li Hanxue to participate in the summit battle just to defeat Li Hanxue in public and make Li Hanxue lose face. Li Hanxue saw through this idea at a glance.
Logically speaking, the inner court selection competition is imminent, and he should have rested and prepared well. It is not a good thing to conflict with others now, but Xie Hao is an enemy, and he is likely to meet him in the inner court selection competition. If he defeats him now and fights again, Xie Hao will have the shadow of failure in his heart. If he fights with Li Hanxue again, he will only have the fate of failure. Li Hanxue is just eliminating a hidden danger.
"Brother Hanxue, how much has your cultivation recovered?" The two chatted while walking. Su Xiaoya hadn't seen Li Hanxue for half a year. All her thoughts in her heart turned into a smile on her face. Her watery eyes looked at Li Hanxue steadily, as if she was afraid that he would disappear from her again.
"If you are at the fifth level of the martial arts realm, you are still one level away from Teacher Ma's requirements." Li Hanxue said, there is no need to hide her cultivation in front of Su Xiaoya.
Su Xiaoya opened her eyes slightly, and then smiled: "You have done well enough."
At this time, the Kongkong Xuan Beast in Li Hanxue's storage bag began to become restless, colliding left and right in the storage bag, making a banging sound.
"What's wrong with this little thing?" Li Hanxue wondered secretly.
"Woo..." The Kongkong Xuan Beast screamed and rushed out of the storage bag.
The Kongkong Xuan Beast lay on Li Hanxue's shoulder, stretched its neck, and sniffed the air with its nose, as if looking for something.
Su Xiaoya, who was standing aside, was surprised. Looking at the furry Kongkong Xuan Beast, she asked: "Brother Hanxue, this is..."
Li Hanxue smiled and said: "This is the Kongkong Xuan Beast. I wanted to show it to you, but this little thing doesn't like to get close to strangers, and it can spray very scary flames from its mouth. I'm afraid it will hurt you."
Su Xiaoya looked at the Kongkong Xuan Beast, and the girl's heart was throbbing. The round body of this little thing, the blinking eyes, and the shaking ears were so cute.
Su Xiaoya couldn't help but reach out to touch the Kongkong Xuan Beast, but she didn't dare to touch it because of Li Hanxue's words.
At this time, the Kongkong Xuan Beast kicked its limbs and pounced from Li Hanxue's shoulder to Su Xiaoya's body. It opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue.
This action made Li Hanxue's heart rise to his throat, and he exclaimed: "Xiaoya is in danger!"
Li Hanxue had already experienced the power of the Kongkong Xuan Beast. Even now, he was not a match for the Kongkong Xuan Beast. If the Kongkong Xuan Beast really sprayed flames at Su Xiaoya, then Su Xiaoya would definitely die.
However, Li Hanxue was in a false alarm. The Kongkong Xuan Beast did not hurt Su Xiaoya. It stretched out its tongue just to lick Su Xiaoya's hand.
Su Xiaoya was a little itchy from being licked, and she laughed while holding the little thing.
Li Hanxue was relieved immediately. It turned out that the Kongkong Xuan Beast did not want to hurt Su Xiaoya, but to get close to Su Xiaoya.
"Why is this little thing so close to Xiaoya?" Li Hanxue wondered, "Even a master like Gu Xiyu, this little thing is willing to be close to her, why is this?"
The Kongkong Xuan Beast lay in Su Xiaoya's arms, and soon, it fell asleep, and its demeanor seemed to be more peaceful and comfortable than when it was next to Li Hanxue.
Li Hanxue was helpless and shook her head with a smile.
"Brother Hanxue, what's its name?" Su Xiaoya held the Kongkong Xuan Beast carefully as if she had picked up the most beloved treasure, with a doting look on her face.
"Xiaokong, that's what its previous owner called it."
"Xiaokong, from now on I will call you Xiaokong."
Afterwards, Su Xiaoya and Li Hanxue stayed together, exchanging their martial arts experience and experiences in the past six months, until night fell, and the two separated.
Li Hanxue rested for a night, and at noon the next day, Li Hanxue came to the Eighteen Peaks of the Martial Arts Academy.
The Eighteen Peaks are 180 meters high, with each step being 10 meters high, and a total of 18 steps. Each step is paved with special animal bones, crystal clear and in different colors. Looking up, it looks like a glittering and gorgeous gem in the sun, inlaid between the lush mountains and trees, and looks particularly beautiful.
When Li Hanxue came to the Eighteen Peaks, many students from the outer courtyard gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Among them, many people came here to hone their true qi, and many other disciples came purely to watch the battle.
Li Hanxue spotted Su Xiaoya in the crowd. She was wearing a light blue dress today. A night-glowing stone hung on her slender white neck. Although it would emit green light at night, it was not a precious stone. It was given to her by Li Hanxue. Li Hanxue did not expect that she would still wear it.
Su Xiaoya stood out in the crowd, like a crane among chickens. Her every move touched people's hearts.
The timid male students stood aside, secretly staring at Su Xiaoya, while the bold ones kept looking for topics to chat with Su Xiaoya. Although Su Xiaoya did not feel bored, she did not show too much enthusiasm. She just chatted with everyone politely.
In addition, there was another person who caught Li Hanxue's attention. He was Xie Hao. He stood high on the first step, frowning slightly, as if waiting for someone. His brows suddenly relaxed, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Li Hanxue, you are here as expected."
"Look, it's Li Hanxue!" Everyone looked sideways.
"Brother Hanxue." Su Xiaoya smiled when she saw Li Hanxue coming, and walked quickly to Li Hanxue, showing a look of dependence on others.
The boys looked unhappy when they saw this.
Su Xiaoya was the dream lover of many boys, but her dream lover was so intimate and dependent on other boys. There was nothing more uncomfortable than this.
Many boys were indignant and said, "How dare he come? Xie Hao is now the top talent of Canglan Academy, three points stronger than Li Hanxue back then. Not to mention that Li Hanxue's cultivation has fallen now, so she is no match for Xie Hao. He is here to embarrass himself."
"Xie Hao has spread the news in the martial arts academy. He wants to fight with Li Hanxue at the Eighteen Peaks today. If Li Hanxue comes, she will lose and be embarrassed. If he doesn't come, he will be a coward, which is even more embarrassing. Li Hanxue is in a dilemma and has to come."
"Xie Hao ranks fifth on the Dengyun list. He is a master of the sixth level of the Ruowu realm. Li Hanxue's cultivation has fallen. It is estimated that he will not be able to get a place on the Dengyun list even if there are 100 places. Xie Hao is clearly bullying Li Hanxue in public. If I were Li Hanxue, I would refuse to fight. This is the wise thing to do."
While everyone was discussing, Li Hanxue and Su Xiaoya had already walked to the first step of the Eighteen Peaks.
Xie Hao looked down at Li Hanxue and said with a smile: "Li Hanxue, today I will let everyone see that your existence is a joke, and I am the real number one genius of Canglan Academy."
