"boom-"
The eight airships slowly approached the air docks around the Liaoyuan, like eight lice jumping on the back of a sea turtle. The size difference between the two sides was huge.
Li Yao set foot on the Liaoyuan with a feeling of reverence.
Today's Liaoyuan has been transformed into a war museum. As soon as he stepped off the front deck, Li Yao saw a huge bronze statue of a naval officer with a firm face. Pointing not far away, it seems to be roaring loudly.
Even though it's just a statue, there is a bloody battle to the end and an indomitable momentum. Li Yao can even vaguely hear the roar of lightning and thunder coming from inside the bronze statue:
"Bump into Shen Tianye!"
This is the statue of "Ping Yuantao", the first and last captain of the Liaoyuan, a cultivator in the alchemy stage.
On the base of the statue, there are also nine characters engraved, which is a famous saying that Ping Yuantao once said.
According to legend, Ping Yuantao joined a cultivating sect when he was a child. At that time, Tianyuan Realm was still a paradise for monsters. Humans could only struggle in the towns controlled by several cultivating sects. The Star Federation had just been established, and no one even regarded it as a The country is nothing more than a loose organization established among the nine practice sects for the convenience of communication and contact with each other.
At that time, Ping Yuantao joined a practice sect with a large group of teenagers, and the elders of the sect asked them, as usual, why they wanted to practice cultivation
The teenagers talked a lot and talked about it. Some said it was for the glory, wealth, money and beautiful women; some said it was for immortality and eternal happiness; Some people say that it is to kill demons and demons, and protect relatives and friends.
When it was Ping Yuantao's turn, he said nine words:
"Cultivate for the rise of the Federation!"
A hundred years later, Ping Yuantao used his life to add a glorious footnote to these nine words, and these nine words have also become the motto of countless cultivators of the Xingyao Federation, inspiring them to expand their territories, kill monsters, Build the Star Federation into the most powerful human country in the Tianyuan world!
"It's so handsome!"
Although I have learned the story of Ping Yuantao and heard this sentence more than once in textbooks, but when I saw this sentence on the Liaoyuan, it is said that it was written by Ping Yuantao himself, and the meaning is naturally very different. Many students Shouting excitedly, they ran over to take photos with Ping Yuantao's bronze statue, and then posted it on the spirit net to show off to their friends.
Li Yao also wanted to take a photo with him, but Zheng Dongming dragged him directly inside, saying that he wanted to take him to see the excitement.
"The statue is here, and it won't run away. The big scene inside, but you have to go to see it early, and you won't be able to squeeze in when it's late!"
"What big scene?"
"Before each Extreme Challenge, the Nine Elite Joint Schools will hold a 'two-way exchange meeting' outside the arena to introduce the strength of the 'Nine Greats' to the candidates, and it also has the meaning of attracting cultivation geniuses to apply for the exam. There are nine in the cabin. At the booth, there are cultivators from the 'Nine Majors' directly communicating with the candidates, and the scene is very hot, so hurry up and get in!" Zheng Dongming said familiarly.
"A cultivator from the 'Nine Greats'?" Li Yao's eyes lit up, and without Zheng Dongming's tugging, he suddenly accelerated.
Entering the cabin on the first floor, the huge space was filled with thousands of students, the voices were buzzing, and the atmosphere was hot.
The entire hall is divided into nine independent areas, and the name of a university is hung above each area.
Zheng Dongming looked left and right, then pulled Li Yao to the area of "Tianhuan Academy".
"Why go to Tianhuan Academy first? Does this university have the strongest comprehensive strength?" Li Yao was a little confused, and it seemed that the most people crowded around the booth of Tianhuan Academy.
"Who cares if it is strong or not! Tianhuan Academy is the only school in the 'Nine Big Schools' that specializes in cultivating literary and artistic cultivators. The beauties in the school are famous for their quantity and quality, and one They're all super literary!" Zheng Dongming swallowed his saliva, his eyes sparkling.
The two managed to break into the crowd, but they saw that the booth layout of Tianhuan Academy was very simple, with some calligraphy and painting works hanging on the surrounding walls, and a few college students squinted their eyes half-closed in one corner, shaking their heads, immersed in the world of music, On the other side, a young man with disheveled hair and a beard was trembling, reciting poetry.
But in front of them was a classically beautiful woman in a white robe with black hair reaching her waist, who was concentrating on painting.
Li Yao looked along her crystal clear fingertips, and found that her painting style was completely different from that of her real self. With very fierce and sharp brushstrokes, she drew a dilapidated small fishing boat with an octopus in a stormy sea. A sea monster fight scene.
"It's a good drawing..."
Although Li Yao didn't know much about art, he felt a sense of thrill from this painting. He nodded slightly, and heard the faint sound of waves.
Sound of waves
Li Yao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly found himself on the front deck of a small fishing boat that was violently tossed. Waves higher than wave after wave hit his head, and the smelly sea water kept pouring into his nostrils and mouth. , there was the sound of waves roaring like monster beasts in my ears!
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless and violent ocean all around. When you look up, you can see the hill-like head of the octopus sea monster above the small fishing boat, and its two blood-red strange eyes are staring at him with a captivating light. !
"what!"
Li Yao was terrified and couldn't help but screamed.
This call seemed to shatter the illusion, and the soul returned to the body, already dripping with cold sweat, as if it had been a lifetime.
Looking around again, Zheng Dongming also had the same complexion, his legs trembling slightly.
"Now do you know how powerful a literary cultivator is? This big beauty has no malicious intentions, and the painting is only half completed, and she can drag us into a terrifying illusion. If she is actively attacking, she is using the completed painting , do you think you can still escape?" Zheng Dongming trembled.
Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and recalled the scene of the octopus staring at him in the illusion just now.
Until now, he still couldn't believe that it was just an unfinished painting that created such a terrifying illusion.
Literary and artistic cultivators are indeed extremely terrifying existences.
"Hey, although there are many beauties, these literary and artistic cultivators are lunatics. They can't be easily provoked. They can only be seen from a distance, not to be played with! No, look at the guy who is reciting poetry over there, his face is red, and he is about to forget himself. Now, when the time comes when the mental power explodes, we don't know what kind of terrifying illusion will be created, let's go quickly, it will be terrible if we are dragged into the illusion by him, I don't want to enter the spiritual world of an ugly man!" Zheng Dongming tugged Li Yao squeezed his way out of the crowd and came to the booth of the second university.
