Chapter 279 Dragon Vein and the Throne
Time passed, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
No one knew about the subduing of the demon sword except a few teachers and the dean, and even the other vice deans were not informed.
As for Su Yuan, he has been seizing the time to practice in the academy for more than a month.
He usually practices, and Shang Baiyu and others come to chat and exchange in his spare time. This kind of life is quite fulfilling and comfortable.
However, this kind of life will soon end, because the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Meeting in the Black Wind Region is about to begin...
That day, Su Yuan got up from the Star Mist Pool and walked straight out.
"Teacher Zhang." After walking out of the Star Mist Pool, Su Yuan greeted Zhang Chengyun.
Zhang Chengyun looked at the star power around Su Yuan that had not yet completely dissipated, and exclaimed: "You are really making progress every minute and every second..."
"Thanks to the 50 hours of practice time given by the academy every month, otherwise I wouldn't have improved so quickly."
Zhang Chengyun smiled and said: "That's what you fought for. The significance of repelling the Qi Guang delegation to my Yaodu Academy is no longer measurable by star stones."
The matter of Qi Guang's visit quickly fermented. Not to mention the Yaodu Academy, even in the major academies of the entire Da Yan, there are almost no people who don't know "Yaodu Su Yuan".
Su Yuan responded politely, and then said: "I won't come for the time being."
Zhang Chengyun thought for a while and said: "Are you going to the Yuyuelongmen meeting in the Black Wind Region?"
Su Yuan was slightly surprised: "Yes, Teacher Zhang, are you also paying attention?"
In Su Yuan's view, Zhang Chengyun is like a scholar who concentrates on studying the array and barrier. Since he met him, the other party has hardly left the Xingwu Pavilion.
Zhang Chengyun shook his head and smiled, "Of course, although I seldom go out, the birth of a new king has not happened for many years, so I have heard about it."
I don't know what he thought of, Zhang Chengyun muttered to himself: "Now that the Black Wind Territory has also produced a new king, I am afraid that the chances will become less and less in the future..."
"Hmm?" Su Yuan heard this and keenly caught something, and asked tentatively, "The chances are getting less and less, I wonder what Teacher Zhang means..."
Zhang Chengyun looked at Su Yuan and smiled: "You don't have to ask more, you will know in the future."
Su Yuan saw that Zhang Chengyun didn't mean to say more, so he didn't ask in detail, but he couldn't help but think about it secretly in his heart.
Because the Black Wind Territory has a new king, the chances will become less and less in the future?
If I understand correctly, Zhang Chengyun should be talking about fewer chances to become a king.
Because someone becomes a king, the number of new kings decreases... In this way, is there still a limit on the number of king-level masters?
If this is true, there will definitely be more competition between the Burning Sun level and even the King level!
Originally, cultivation not only required diligence and opportunity, but also talent and potential.
But now, talent and potential are not enough. In order to reach the king level, you have to compete with other burning suns?
Su Yuan took a deep breath. As for whether it was true or not, he had to confirm with the teacher.
Anyway, he was about to leave the academy and go to the north, and was preparing to go to the teacher first.
So Su Yuan nodded and said, "Teacher Zhang, I'll go first."
"Okay, I wish you a smooth trip."
Zhang Chengyun didn't expect that Su Yuan had already guessed a lot from his casual words...
...
Not long after, Su Yuan came to the library tower.
Yang Yifeng also knew that Su Yuan was going to the north, and had been waiting at the old place.
After the master and apprentice chatted casually about Su Yuan's recent practice, they gradually talked about this trip to the north.
"I won't repeat what I should tell you. Whether it's the hostility of Professor Moss or the fact that you have the Divine Sword, you should be more careful."
Su Yuan smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I understand."
"But there is one more thing I still want to remind you of."
Su Yuan said respectfully, "Teacher, please tell me."
Yang Yifeng said slowly, "The Condensation Pill can increase the probability of breaking through the Yao Star level by 20% to 30%. It can be said to be extremely precious.
Not only the Gold level is eager for it. For the Yao Star level, a Condensation Pill can also be exchanged for a lot of resources!
After all, that is, Even though he has already ascended to the realm of Sun, Moon and Star, who among the Star Card Masters doesn't have friends, juniors and relatives?
For something like the Condensation Pill that is in short supply, there are always strong people willing to spend some money to buy it.
Therefore, even if you get this thing through competition, it will definitely attract many people's covetousness.
At this time, perhaps only blood and death can make some people a little more sober. "
At the end of the speech, Yang Yifeng's voice had obviously become colder, and Su Yuan, who was sitting opposite, felt that his skin was like being scraped by an ice knife, and his heart shuddered.
Although he looks like a sloppy old man, as a former member of the Patrol Department, and majoring in the highly offensive Wind and Thunder Dao, how could Yang Yifeng be an easy person?
In fact, the four imperial guards of the Patrol Department each have their own responsibilities.
The Azure Dragon Imperial Guard is responsible for external wars and concurrently leads the command;
White Tiger Guardian rules and punishes;
Vermillion Bird Guardian coordinates support;
Black Tortoise Guardian ensures safety within the territory.
Yang Yifeng is the White Tiger Guardian in charge of punishment, responsible for punishing dangerous Star Card Masters who violate the Great Flame Law, and has a stronger murderous nature than ordinary people!
Su Yuan nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't hold back when it comes to bloodshed."
"Hey~ I'm just reminding you." Yang Yifeng laughed, as if the powerful aura just now was just an illusion, "I know you are still very decisive, and you have some of my style back then."
Su Yuan shook his head and smiled, saying, "I dare not."
The master and the apprentice chatted for a few more sentences, and Su Yuan recalled Zhang Chengyun's words. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Teacher, I have another question to ask you."
"Go ahead."
Su Yuan got straight to the point and said, "Is there a limit to the number of king-level players?"
"Oh?" Yang Yifeng looked at Su Yuan in surprise, "You actually asked this?"
Su Yuan then told him about his previous conversation with Zhang Chengyun.
"Is that so..." Yang Yifeng looked thoughtful, and then said, "This is not a secret, but it would only increase distractions if he knew it before Huiyue Zhuoyang knew it, so it is usually not told to Yaoxing and the three-level star card masters.
But since you have already figured it out yourself, I can't lie to you. That's right, as you said, the number of king-level players is limited!"
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows. Is that really the case?
Yang Yifeng said slowly: "The reason why the king level is called the king level is not only because of its power far exceeding that of the burning sun, but also because the 'throne' needs to be fought for!
As for why this is the case, it is related to the star power of heaven and earth.
The star power required to advance to the Yaoxing is far more than the gold level.
And to advance to the king level, there must be more terrifying energy support!
And this involves the star veins on the continent, and it is the top star veins that are enough to support the advancement to the king level, also known as dragon veins!"
Su Yuan certainly knew what a star vein was, and natural star stones were mined from star veins.
But I didn't expect that the king level was also related to star veins.
"Any Zhuoyang who is on the dragon vein can use this dragon vein to practice.
Once you break through the king level, you will take away the energy of the dragon vein, and naturally the rest of the people will not be able to use this dragon vein to break through the king level.
Only when this person dies, the dragon vein will have the possibility of accumulating energy and recovering again..."
"So, the number of kings is determined by the dragon vein, including our Great Yan country?"
Yang Yifeng nodded and said, "Yes, at least the dragon vein determines the upper limit. The star veins in the East Continent have a special direction, 'sparse in the middle and dense on the sides', and most of the star veins are distributed in the north and south poles, so our Great Yan and Qi Guang will choose to build the country in these two places.
Even so, the number of dragon veins is limited. In addition to those who have already ascended to the king level and occupied the 'throne', the Great Yan official will reserve a part of the quota.
It's just that the number of quotas is much less than the expected number of people who can ascend to the king level. There are too many monks and too little meat, so the competition is naturally not small."
Su Yuan nodded and thought alone.
Seeing this, Yang Yifeng reminded him, "You don't need to feel any pressure now. Although I believe that with your qualifications, it is possible to reach Zhuoyang within ten years, and you will definitely participate in the competition at that time.
But for now, you should first enter Yaoxing. When you enter Zhuoyang, there may be a turnaround."
Originally, the matter of the dragon vein was not told to the low-level star card masters, just to avoid the low-level star card masters from worrying about it.
If Su Yuan had not almost known everything and asked actively, Yang Yifeng would not have told Su Yuan casually.
"Teacher, don't worry, not to mention that there is still a throne to compete for, even if there is no..." Su Yuan looked up at Yang Yifeng, his words were sonorous and decisive, "It's nothing more than creating a vacant position with the blade in your hand!"
Yang Yifeng couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this, and grinned after a while.
"You kid... good, good!"
Of course, Yang Yifeng understood what Su Yuan meant. Creating a vacant position naturally refers to pulling someone off the throne.
As for how to act cool... it can only be killing!
This means that at the Burning Sun level, you have to face the King level!
Although in Yang Yifeng's opinion, Su Yuan is still young, and can be said to be young and arrogant, but this courage and confidence alone is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.
And this confidence is not blind confidence, but is based on his achievements and results along the way.
Even if Yang Yifeng believes that it is almost impossible for the Burning Sun to defeat the King level, this mentality and will that is not afraid of the hardships of the road has infected Yang Yifeng a little.
Even a student in his early twenties and at the Gold level is not afraid of the fight for the throne. As a former King level, he still has ten years to live, but he still gives up?
Of course not!
Compared with Cai Qinglong's persuasion, Su Yuan's words at this moment inadvertently made Yang Yifeng more confident in his last fight.
Even if there is no harvest for hundreds of years, these last ten years may not be able to turn around and survive!
The flame that was quietly burning in Yang Yifeng's heart suddenly became fierce at this moment!
"Teacher, you..." Su Yuan could vaguely feel that Yang Yifeng seemed to have some changes, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Hahaha, it's okay, I just suddenly figured out something." Yang Yifeng's thoughts were clear and he was in a good mood. "Okay, I won't say much about other things. You should be more careful on this trip."
"Yes!"
...
After two days of rest and settling the star power cultivation that was improved in the Star Mist Pool, Su Yuan was ready to leave.
Su Yuan also mentioned to Shang Baiyu and others about going to the North to leap over the Dragon Gate this time.
However, for Shang Baiyu and others who are still in the middle of the silver level, going to the Black Wind Region not only takes time and energy, but also has high risks.
Like Xia Yue, if it weren't for Xia Xuan, it would be difficult to go to the west to train.
So the better choice is to practice steadily in the academy, break through to the high silver level as soon as possible, and then look for an opportunity to break through the gold level.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The knock on the door came, and Su Yuan, who was cleaning the room, and Ruanruan, who was helping with a rag, stopped.
"Is anyone else coming today?"
Yesterday, Shang Baiyu and others, who knew that Su Yuan was about to leave, had already come to the door to bother him. I didn't expect that someone would come today.
As soon as Su Yuan raised his hand, Ruanruan jumped up and automatically wrapped the bracelet around his wrist. Then Su Yuan walked a few steps to the door and opened it.
A little bit of ice mint-like cool fragrance came over. Standing at the door was a quiet girl with silver hair, blue eyes, and indigo skirt.
Black leather shoes and white socks, a white belt tied up her slender and straight waist, and a beautiful bracelet with ice crystal cut on her left wrist.
Looking at the young man who opened the door, the light in the girl's eyes became brighter.
"Bingtong, are you back to the academy?" Su Yuan was quite surprised. He didn't expect Luo Bingtong to come back at this time.
"Just... came back."
Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Come in first."
Luo Bingtong nodded and followed Su Yuan into the house.
The two sat down opposite each other, but Su Yuan found that he could not see Luo Bingtong's realm clearly.
This was certainly not because Luo Bingtong's breathing had also been trained to the mastery level, but most of them were some other means of assisting in holding back the breath. Of course, the more important reason...
Su Yuan's eyes lit up with silver light, and the perspective unfolded.
Luo Bingtong noticed that Su Yuan was probing, and not only did she not resist, but she removed the defense line of the star power in her body.
"Are you at the gold level?" Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little moved when he detected the powerful star power in Luo Bingtong's body.
Luo Bingtong responded, "Yeah."
Su Yuan nodded secretly, which was unexpected and reasonable.
Luo Bingtong had already conquered Xuanbing and reached the high silver level. She was also the descendant of the demon queen. It seemed that she left the academy this time to break through to the gold level, and most likely went to the ancient forbidden area.
Su Yuan asked: "Why did you come back at this time?"
"To go to the Yuyuelongmen meeting."
Su Yuan was startled, but soon reacted.
Luo Bingtong was extremely powerful, and Su Yuan had never seen her use her full strength.
Now that she has conquered Xuanbing and advanced to the gold level, her strength is even more unpredictable, and she is more than enough to participate in the Yuyuelongmen meeting.
"What do you want to do when you go to the Yuyuelongmen meeting?"
"Dragon Ball."
"Dragon Ball?"
Su Yuan didn't know anything about this thing, but things related to the word "dragon" would not be too simple.
Su Yuan asked: "Then will you still follow Lord Bai Ze?"
Luo Bingtong shook her head.
"Go by yourself..."
Su Yuan was quite surprised. Are they going to let the descendants of the demon king run around so freely?
After chatting with Luo Bingtong for a while, Su Yuan understood.
Demon beasts are different from humans. The more powerful the demon beast tribe and force, the less they will cultivate their offspring.
They will prepare all kinds of good things for their offspring, but they will not give them directly to their offspring. Instead, they must get them by their own ability, even as a trial.
For example, although Bai Ze took Luo Bingtong to the secret realm of Xuezangyuan in the original Wanhua Xuanbing, no other silver star beasts were sent to assist.
Even the demon king of the South China Sea has star beasts in human form, so how could the overlord of the ancient forbidden area not have any?
As for this time, in the eyes of the person in Bingji Xuanya, Luo Bingtong has advanced to the gold level and has the strength to fight for the dragon ball by himself, so this time Luo Bingtong went alone.
"Is that so..." Su Yuan looked at Luo Bingtong who was staring at him quietly, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If that's the case, then you can go with me. I was also planning to go to the Yuyuelongmen Club."
First, Luo Bingtong can be a thug;
Second, Su Yuan was really worried about this girl going alone...
Although Su Yuan didn't think she was really alone, going abroad like this must be protected by some demon clan masters in secret.
But most of the monster masters will not show up until the critical moment.
In this case, it would be difficult for her to travel from the Monster City to the Black Wind Domain Dragon Gate by herself...
And I am only a gold-level, taking her on the road will not be considered to destroy her trial, right?
Luo Bingtong's eyes lit up slightly, and she seemed very happy, nodding repeatedly:
"Yeah!"
Su Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you want to rest? If not, let's go directly?"
"I... am fine." Luo Bingtong waved her fists, indicating that she was in good spirits.
"Okay, let's go directly."
Su Yuan was about to pack up and prepare to leave. Luo Bingtong was just brought out of the ancient forbidden area, so naturally there was nothing to pack.
Su Yuan rebooked Luo Bingtong's flight ticket, and then the two of them came out of Nanyi Park together, left the academy and went to the airport...
Monster City, Ming Wangfu
Kong Zheng, wearing a jade belt and white robe, was sitting in the main seat in the hall processing documents. Bai Ze, wearing a long robe of water clouds, walked in from outside.
"Sir, the young lady has already left, and she went with the young man named Su Yuan." Bai Ze reported.
Kong Zheng smiled: "Su Yuan? That's the little guy who has been very famous in Yaodu Academy recently. According to you, he was also the one who helped Bingtong to subdue Wanhua Xuanbing last time?"
"Yes, I even gave him one of your feathers without permission..."
Kong Zheng shook the five-color folding fan slightly: "It doesn't matter, he has such potential. At least it's the first time I've seen such an outstanding talent in all my time in Yaodu. Well, with this little guy leading her, Bingtong should be able to be much more relaxed."
After a slight pause, Kong Zheng asked: "Did Mingshe follow?"
Bai Ze replied: "It has followed secretly."
Kong Zheng nodded, then stood up and walked to the inside of the hall: "You came at the right time. Qiongqi brought some news back from his hometown this time. Come with me."
Hometown...
Bai Ze's heart moved slightly, and he immediately followed Kong Zheng up.
