831. Chapter 831 Heavenly Tomb (1/2)

Finally, in the eyes full of disbelief, the Black Annihilation Army Competition ended, and the rankings were immediately calculated.

The first team, the second team, and finally the third team without any suspense.

However, the result was without any suspense that the third team ranked last, but the process was not. In the normal competition, the third team only won one game by a few centimeters, but the first and second teams were both solemn, and no one mocked.

Everyone knew how lucky they were to win against the third team. If the overall realm of the third team was not much different from theirs, they would probably lose miserably.

"Sorry, Commander Xiao Yan," Lingquan, who had already woken up, sat on the ground, looked up at Xiao Yan, and looked at him with apologetic eyes, "We didn't win the first place."

In response, Xiao Yan just smiled faintly.

"Sorry? What do you have to be sorry for?"

Xiao Yan squatted down and looked at Lingquan, and said leisurely in the other's stunned expression.

"Do you think you are worthy of yourself in the battle you participated in today?"

". Worthy."

Lingquan was silent for a while, and then nodded heavily, without any hesitation, which made Xiao Yan's smile even more.

"As long as you can live up to yourselves, that's enough." Xiao Yan stood up and glanced at the first and second troops. "Lingquan, you should be clear about one thing. Talent is an objective thing. There is no need to push yourself too hard. It is also a choice to let yourself go appropriately."

"You are the least convincing person to say this."

Gu Qinghan suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yan and glanced at him lightly.

There is no need to push yourself too hard? Among all the people Gu Qinghan has met so far, Xiao Yan is the least qualified to say this. Whatever he does, which one does not force himself to move forward? Xiao Yan scratched his face awkwardly, and then Gu Qinghan sighed helplessly and raised his head slightly.

"Lord Gu Lie is looking for you."

Then Xiao Yan ordered Ling Quan to lead the team back first, and he followed Gu Qinghan to stand on the high platform, and came to Gu Lie to salute.

"Lord Gu Lie, your commission has ended. Are you satisfied?"

"If you are not satisfied, then the first and second troops can be disbanded directly." Gu Lie said so, his eyes full of curiosity, "I know very well what the strength of the third troop was before. You took over the third troop for less than a month and trained them to this level. How did you do it?"

Gu Lie just asked casually. After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an exclusive secret to improve the strength of a team so quickly in a short period of time without any side effects.

But surprisingly, Xiao Yan did not hide anything at all, and directly told the training content for the third troop during this period one by one. Gu Lie listened carefully after a brief daze. After all, this is a training method that can greatly improve the overall strength of the Black Annihilation Army.

However, after listening, Gu Lie's face was covered with a helpless expression.

To be honest, Xiao Yan's training is nothing special. It can be simply summarized in three words: physical training.

Although it is true that the higher the realm, the greater the gap, at least before the Dou Sheng, the physical fitness of the cultivator is still a very important part. It is indeed reasonable to follow Xiao Yan's training method to jump one or two levels. It can also be seen from the competition of the third team today that compared with Dou Qi, their fighting style is more inclined to physical combat.

However, the three words "physical training" are simple to say, but it is really difficult to train according to Xiao Yan's method. The reason is also very simple, because if you are not careful, you can train people to death.

The Black Annihilation Army usually trains physical fitness, but compared with Xiao Yan's training intensity, it is purely a small witch compared to a big witch, more than dozens of times worse.

Therefore, Xiao Yan specially reminded that he specially trained everyone while refining pills according to everyone's physical fitness, otherwise Lingquan and others would not be able to resist it at all.

First, he must be proficient in fighting, so that he can detect everyone's training progress as quickly as possible. Second, he must be proficient in refining medicine and be able to refine professional medicine at any time according to the physical condition of his subordinates.

Just these two points make Xiao Yan's training method even more difficult.

There are people who are proficient in fighting in the ancient clan, and there are also people who are proficient in refining medicine in the ancient clan.

But even Gu Lie can't do both and have training experience.

"Xiao Yan, you are really a genius."

Gu Lie touched his chin, curled his lips lightly, and glanced at Gu Qinghan with some resentment.

What a good talent, why is Qinghan unwilling?

If Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan are married, and Xiao Yan declares to join the ancient clan later, Gu Lie can directly give him the position of Black Annihilation King without hesitation. If the elders are unwilling, he can personally persuade them.

But without the relationship of marriage, even if Xiao Yan joins the ancient clan, it is really unreasonable to let an outsider take the position of Black Annihilation King.

However, Gu Qinghan had just made it clear to him that Xiao Yan would not agree to the marriage, and it was impossible for him to abandon the Tianhe League and join the Ancient Clan. After hearing such a decisive reply, Gu Lie could only silently give up this idea.

At this moment, a voice came slowly from a distance. Xiao Yan paused slightly. Gu Lie and Gu Qinghan also turned their heads to look, revealing respect in their eyes.

The leader of the Ancient Clan, Gu Yuan.

"Leader Gu Yuan."

Xiao Yan turned around to face Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yan and sighed after a long time.

"You are really surprising." Then Gu Yuan turned around and said, "Come with me, I will take you to a place."

"yes."

Xiao Yan was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye to Gu Lie and Gu Qinghan, he followed Gu Yuan, walked out of the main city of the ancient clan, and walked leisurely towards the overlapping mountains in the back mountain.

Looking at the main city gradually moving away behind him, Xiao Yan became more and more confused, silently thinking about where Gu Yuan wanted to take him.

Xiao Yan didn't think about defense, mainly because it was useless to be on guard against a strong man of Gu Yuan's level. He could crush him into scum with one finger, so what's the use of being on guard?

At this moment, Gu Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

"Xiao Yan, do you know Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Yan was stunned by the sudden question, and then answered frankly.

"I heard a senior mention it before. It seems to be the ancestor of this junior."

After hearing this, Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, what do you think of your ancestor?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and continued: "To be honest, this junior just admires the heroic deeds of ancestor Xiao Xuan, that's all, and has no other opinions."

Gu Yuan also seemed a little surprised. He was surprised that Xiao Yan gave such an answer.

"Even if that is the ancestor of your Xiao family, don't you have any opinion?"

"After all, he is a legendary figure from thousands of years ago. I have never even met him, so what can I say?" Xiao Yan's answer was so calm. "It would be better to say that you have some opinions about this ancestor just because of some rumors from others." My opinion, whether it’s good or bad, is only other people’s opinion, not my own.”

".Is that so?"

Gu Yuan responded, and then fell into silence for a long time.

Xiao Yan is really extraordinary.

After a long pause, Gu Yuan, who was walking in front, spoke to himself.

"Thousands of years ago, when the Xiao clan was still in decline, Xiao Xuan and I met. Although we were rival families, we were also close friends."

Xiao Yan frowned, but did not make a sound, just listened silently.

"You should also know that the reason why the eight ancient tribes are so powerful is because Dou Emperor appeared in the ancestors of each tribe. The Dou Emperor realm can change the blood relatives of the same bloodline and give them strength and talent far beyond ordinary people. It can be said that Dou Emperor’s bloodline is the foundation of the eight ancient clans.”

"Thousands of years ago, the Xiao clan's Dou Emperor bloodline began to decline first. Xiao Xuan, who realized this problem, came up with a crazy way to use the blood of the entire clan to break through Dou Emperor and be able to defeat Dou Emperor. The Xiao clan continues again.”

"However, Xiao Xuan still takes it for granted after all. Without the key things, no matter how much blood power he gathers, it will be in vain."

The key thing? Xiao Yan captured this word, what is the key thing? But Gu Yuan did not explain and continued to talk.

"Of course, this is only hindsight. He told me this news before he died."

"After Xiao Xuan failed to break through, he was also on the verge of serious injury, and the Soul Clan, which had long been premeditated, invaded the Xiao Realm and completely collapsed the Xiao Clan, which was already on the verge of decline."

"The soul clan is the Soul Emperor?"

Xiao Yan frowned and asked, Gu Yuan nodded lightly. At this moment, Gu Yuan stopped. Xiao Yan looked forward and found two huge stone pillars standing on both sides, with a layer of stone in the middle. Transparent space channel.

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to ask, Gu Yuan started to explain.

"This is the celestial tomb of the Ancient Clan. Only with the permission of the Ancient Clan can one enter."

As he spoke, a token appeared in Gu Yuan's sleeve and he threw it directly to Xiao Yan.

"Go in with the token and keep moving forward."

"Chief Gu Yuan, this is"

Xiao Yan held the token and wanted to ask doubtfully, but Gu Yuan had already turned around and left, leaving only one sentence.

"If you see him, please say sorry on my behalf."

All these years, the old woman had been pointing at his nose and scolding him for why he didn't help him in the first place, but Gu Yuan never said anything back.

Not only because of the old woman's noble status, but also because of the shame in Gu Yuan's heart.

Regarding what he had done back then, Gu Yuan was worthy of the Gu clan, but he was ashamed of him and even failed to do what he promised him.

My personality has never changed from before to now. Now I don't even dare to apologize to him personally. Instead, I have to let a junior do it for me.

It's really ridiculous.

Xiao Yan looked at Gu Yuan's retreating back. Although his steps were slow, he felt like he was running away.

Obviously, Gu Yuan did not dare to see someone in this tomb.

Gu Yuan is now the strongest person on the continent, why is there someone he doesn't dare to meet?

Xiao Yan was a little confused. He felt strange when they first met. In this world where strength is respected, Gu Yuan, as a person standing at the top of the world, not only does not have the aura of self-respect, but also puts aside the invisible majesty. , in terms of mental energy, it feels worse than adding punishment to the sky.

Although he didn't understand it, Xiao Yan glanced at the token in his hand, tightened his grip slightly, turned around and walked into the tomb.

This doubt in my heart should be answered after entering this so-called celestial tomb.

After Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yuan met someone on his way back to the city. It was the seemingly ordinary old woman who had previously been able to scold Gu Lie in public without hesitation.

"senior."

When Gu Yuan saw the old woman, he was startled for a moment, and then he was about to salute, but was interrupted by the old woman's angrily voice.

"No need, old lady, I can't bear the gift from you, the leader of the clan."

Gu Yuan looked a little embarrassed and froze in place, while the old woman looked in the direction of the tomb and asked in a deep voice.

"Did you let that kid in?"

"Well, according to your instructions, he will be able to see you soon."

Gu Yuan responded respectfully, but the old woman snorted coldly.

"Hmph! You have to do things that you should have done long ago, and I have to ask you to do it. With such an indecisive character, I really wonder how you have developed such strength."

"Forehead"

Seeing Gu Yuan's embarrassed look, the old woman sighed heavily.

"As long as you had the temperament of Xiao Xuan, you would not just sit on the sidelines." The old woman said, looking at Gu Yuan with full contempt in her eyes, "And now, you actually even apologized personally. I don’t even have the courage, old lady, I was really blind to let you take my place in the first place!”

If Xiao Yan were present, he would definitely be shocked when he heard this.

This ordinary old woman setting up a stall on the street turned out to be the previous patriarch of the ancient tribe!

After scolding Gu Yuan, the old woman seemed annoyed by the sight of Gu Yuan, turned around and walked back, turning her back to Gu Yuan and saying in a deep voice.

"Gu Yuan, I know you have a conservative temperament. This is why I let you take charge of the ancient clan." The old woman tilted her head slightly and looked at Gu Yuan with disappointment in her eyes, "However, you are too conservative. Now, I’m still being conservative when I shouldn’t be.”

"It's my problem to throw such a heavy burden on you. If it weren't for the position of clan leader that restricted you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have stayed on the sidelines in the first place."

The old woman hunched her body and gradually walked away, leaving her last words.

"I hope you won't regret your choice. Not only for the ancient tribe, but also for yourself."

Looking at the old woman's retreating back, Gu Yuan was silent. After a long time, he lowered his head and murmured sadly.

"Maybe." (End of chapter)
