With Uncle Su and Iron Fist's amethyst coins, Meng Yu didn't have to worry about gold coins for the time being at least, so he simply stopped hunting monsters.
Instead, he went to the Academy of Magic to learn magic knowledge in the morning, practiced swordsmanship and battle qi in the afternoon, and meditated on magic in the evening. There was no rest time. All he had to do was race against time.
In the battle with Iron Fist, he once again realized the power of magic, although compared with grudge, his magic practice is really difficult.
However, compared with fighting qi of the same level, the lethality of magic is far from comparable to fighting qi, and this kind of huge lethality is exactly what Meng Yu needs now, so he naturally has to spend some time on it.
Of course, he actually went to the Magic Academy for another purpose. He wanted to meet the third young master of the Jiang family—Jiang Mo in the city. Even if there was no Sombra mission, he would not let that perverted guy go.
At this point, he was able to slightly control the direction of the enhanced version of the Golden Blade, but it was only a slight change of direction. He still had a long way to go to fully control it.
What made him dumbfounded was that the battle qi he had always used as an auxiliary attack seemed to be about to break through to an intermediate swordsman. The air mass in the dantian of his lower abdomen had been compressed by him to only slightly larger than a walnut, and he felt the battle qi in his body It didn't decrease but increased. The feeling of full strength made him feel very at ease.
As long as it is compressed to the size of a walnut, he can officially break through to an intermediate swordsman. It seems that it is time to learn some martial arts. Although the basic swordsmanship is very important, the power of fighting spirit without martial arts is inferior to that of magic. I don't know how many.
Only by relying on martial arts to burst out the power of fighting spirit in an instant, this is the capital for fighters and magicians to contend.
It is said that when Dou Qi is cultivated to a high level, it is no worse than a magician.
And the magical energy in his mind is only compressed to the size of a baby's fist at this time, and it is really far away from breaking through to an intermediate magician. At least, it is impossible before the Jiangxia City Competition.
Meng Yu stroked the small stone hanging on his chest, frowning and thinking.
What worried him the most was not Dabi, but Sombra's mission. He didn't know what would happen if he didn't complete the task on time, but thinking of Sombra's gloomy and hoarse voice, he was unwilling to try it from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, what he considered was not whether he should kill, but how to kill him. After all, he didn't have any psychological burden to kill someone like Jiang Mo.
However, what made him discouraged was that for half a month, he walked all over the streets and alleys of the city, and even ventured around in front of Jiang's house several times, but he didn't even see Jiang Mo's shadow.
This made him have to consider whether he should be more proactive...
"Brother Meng Yu, what are you thinking?" Li Hai put away the long sword in his hand and walked towards Meng Yu.
"There is not much time left for the Jiangxia City Grand Competition. I don't know if I can get the one hundred amethyst coins with my current strength."
Meng Yu did not tell the truth. Sometimes, white lies may be good for everyone.
"Brother Meng Yu, don't worry, Aunt Mei's situation is much better now, even if you can't get the one hundred amethyst coins, it's good to get eighty, then you just need to hunt some more monsters, and you can go Bought the Plastic Pulse Pill."
Sitting next to Meng Yu, Li Hai looked more confident than Meng Yu, which surprised Meng Yu who had seen the shy and timid Li Hai before.
He didn't know whether it was the self-confidence brought to him by practicing martial arts, or the self-confidence brought to him by that beautiful figure who was busy in the kitchen at this time.
"Brother Meng Yu, I have decided. I also want to participate in the Jiangxia City Grand Competition. I want to let those short-sighted guys in the Li family know that I, Li Hai, are not useless. One day I want to let them know and drive me away. Leaving the Li family would be their biggest mistake."
Li Hai had broken through to a junior swordsman before his duel with Luo Xing last time, it was only because Luo Xing was already an intermediate magician, and although Li Hai had been practicing martial arts diligently, he had never had any experience in fighting against others, so he did it. There will be that result.
"If you want to participate, you can participate. Anyway, the competition is not dangerous. You don't have to wait for it later. I can be sure now that the Li family will definitely regret that decision."
Meng Yu smiled and looked at Li Hai. Looking at Li Hai who suddenly became confident, he realized that so many things had happened during this period of time.
There was some excitement in Li Hai's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and then said to Meng Yu with a smile,
"Brother Meng Yu, I just had some new ideas, how about..."
In the past half a month, Meng Yu not only practiced fighting qi by himself every afternoon, but also competed with Li Hai from time to time, which could be regarded as helping Li Hai make up for his lack of actual combat experience.
However, Li Hai's progress made him a little stunned. From the beginning, he could easily defeat Li Hai, but now he can only draw with him by relying on his stronger fighting spirit than Li Hai.
This also gave Meng Yu a head start. He was afraid of being specialized in everything. Li Hai had been practicing swordsmanship and fighting spirit hard in the small courtyard for the past few months. After accumulating hard work, he was able to draw with Meng Yu in a short period of time.
It stands to reason that Meng Yu, who has experienced life-and-death battles in the Warcraft Forest, should have made greater progress, but he is only one person after all, and he still needs to meditate and practice magic, so his progress in fighting spirit is not as good as that of Li Hai.
Of course, if it cooperates with magic, it is impossible for Li Hai to be his opponent.
Ping ping ping!
The sound of long swords striking began to resound in the small courtyard.
What made people dumbfounded was that it was Li Hai who was attacking at this time, and Meng Yu could only passively defend under Li Hai's offensive.
Meng Yu's swordsmanship is all composed of basic swordsmanship. After countless battles with monsters, there is nothing fancy about each move. It is steady and steady, as immobile as a mountain.
But Li Hai's swordsmanship is elegant and agile, unpredictable.
If Li Hai's attack is like a wave of water rushing towards Meng Yu, then Meng Yu is a rock in the waves, under the beating of the waves, he is as stable as Mount Tai.
Li Hai knew that this level of attack could not do anything to Meng Yu at all, and he could only win easily after he exhausted his fighting spirit.
After stabbing out the sword again, Li Hai jumped back, just like the receding tide.
Seeing this, Meng Yu smiled slightly, he thought Li Hai had given up.
However, in the next moment, his face changed a little, and he felt violent fluctuations in fighting spirit.
"Brother Meng Yu, be careful," Li Hai reminded.
"Golden spirits in the world, please gather in front of me and resist the evil power."
A golden shield instantly appeared in front of Meng Yu, and Meng Yu kept injecting magic power into it, making the elemental power in the golden shield more cohesive. He didn't know what Li Hai wanted to do, but Li Hai at this time , gave him a strong sense of danger.
At this moment, Li Hai was also ready for the work, and the vindictiveness in his body rushed towards the long sword in his hand like a flood breaking a bank, and then he held the sword in both hands, and drew two horizontal and vertical marks in the air.
"Cracking Wind Cross Cut!" Li Hai shouted in his heart.
The two traces that appeared not only did not dissipate, but quickly condensed, and then a blood-red dou qi cross hit the golden shield in front of Meng Yu.
The expected impact sound did not come, and the blood-red cross cut was like a red-hot iron, slowly moving forward in the golden shield, and slowly but firmly cut towards Meng Yu.
