After Zhuang Huayang left, Li Tianlan stood alone in front of the window for a long time, facing the sea, as if he had turned into a statue.
For the first time since leaving the border, he knew his future situation.
The Southeast Group led by Beihai Wang.
The Prince Group has just relinquished its supreme power.
In Kunlun City, the center of power of the special operations group.
One day in the future, these superpowers who turn their hands into clouds and rain in Zhongzhou will become his enemies.
This is simply terrible news.
But for Li Tianlan, who knew nothing, what Zhuang Huayang said was at least a gain. At least he knows the starting point for investigating his father's treason case when he one day has capital.
The biggest gain was naturally Zhuang Huayang's invitation.
Under the current situation, he was not allowed to refuse the olive branch extended by the academic sect. Otherwise, Zhuang Huayang did not need to do anything. He only needed to reveal his identity to let him die without a burial place and temporarily join the academic sect. Becoming their ally is Li Tianlan's only choice at present, and it is also a choice that will greatly help him.
However, how long this kind of cooperative mode can last depends on his own growth and the specific attitude of the academy. Variables may occur at any time.
After all, no matter what, the academic faction is the ruling group in Central Continent today. There are many people who want to cling to the past. Zhuang Huayang said it was pitiful, but only Li Tianlan would be a fool to believe that the other party would suppress all the chips of the ten-year plan. in his body.
In other words, until he cannot surpass other competitors and let the academy put all their chips on him, even if he can get help from the academy, it will not be much.
After all, Zhuang Huayang just said that the academic's help would satisfy him. Satisfaction and surprise are two completely different concepts.
However, Li Tianlan was too lazy to care about this. Compared with the resources that the academy was about to pour into him, Zhuang Huayang's willingness to temporarily keep the secret of his identity for him was the greatest help to him.
Thinking of Sky Academy, Li Tianlan suddenly woke up, his statue-like body finally moved, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then laughed at himself.
For him, these issues really need to be considered. If his strength is really at its peak, then the invincibility of the number one master in Zhongzhou, the terror of the Human Emperor, the insidiousness of the Prince Group and the strength of Kunlun City are far away from him. All will be very close.
But now, after all, he is just a freshman of Sky Academy who has just entered the air control realm. Taking care of the present is the most important thing.
His most important task at the moment is to get as many credits as possible from Sky Academy. In the next three years, he must maintain and expand his credit advantage.
Then there is the annual exercise between the two houses. Their first exercise of this term will start in March next year. It is said that it is a very cruel scene. Every time the exercise is carried out, the blood of the elites of the two houses is spattered on the spot, but because Such exercises have extremely rich credits, so if he wants to ensure his lead in credits, Li Tianlan must participate in such exercises.
There's about a year left.
Li Tianlan thought silently. In one year, under normal circumstances, he could probably return to the level of the Ice-Condensing Realm, and he would not be too far away from the Fire-Burning Realm. This progress might not satisfy the academics, but combined with real combat effectiveness, during the exercise It shouldn't be difficult to get a good ranking in the competition. This is the guarantee for academics to continue to bet on him.
At present, Li Tianlan's goal is very clear, which is to get a good ranking in the exercises of the two houses in a year's time, and then earn as many credits as possible.
In the next three years, as long as he can regain his peak strength, the academy will never have a second choice besides him.
"Tianlan, what are you thinking about? I didn't even hear the knock on the door."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan turned around suddenly.
Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng appeared at the door of the ward together, looking at him at the same time.
"I'm thinking."
Li Tianlan hesitated for a moment: "How can we get a good ranking in the two-house exercise next year? It is best to be first, and at least to be in the top three."
After finishing in the top three in the exercises of the two houses, these two roommates are absolutely unavoidable figures.
The top ten masters of the younger generation are ranked every year. Although they have some status, as long as they are on the list, no matter how high their status is, it shows how terrifying their potential is. Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng ranked fourth and fifth respectively. To put it bluntly, they can be regarded as Li Tianlan's competitors, but there are many ways to compete, some are benign, and some are relentless.
For these two roommates, Li Tianlan admired them from the bottom of his heart and was unwilling to have a stalemate with them when the time came.
Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian were stunned at the same time.
"What's there to think about? Improving your strength is the last word. Tianlan, as long as you have the strength and rush forward with your eyes closed, I will do my best to clear the obstacles for you. If we meet, then I will release the water."
Li Baitian chuckled.
"The same goes for me. I'm not strong enough to compete in the top five. If you are strong, Tianlan, I won't stand in your way."
Ning Qiancheng's statement was equally clear. It is unknown whether he really thought so in his heart.
"you?"
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the two of them suspiciously. He was not stupid. If he was a little confused when the three of them met for the first time, then there were some clues in the exercise that he couldn't even doubt. .
The kindness of these two people towards me seemed to be too much.
"What are you guys? I don't want to make my words too clear. Damn it, you have to force me."
Li Baitian rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I mean the same thing as Qian Cheng. I don't have the confidence to rush into the top three. We are brothers in the same dormitory. If you are strong enough, who is willing to block your way?"
"Shushan Taixu Sword is indeed strong, but in terms of martial arts, it is a real late-stage secret skill. At least before the Thunder Realm, I am definitely not the opponent of Dongcheng Rushi, the genius disciple of Yaochi. As for the ranking, I am still ahead of Dongcheng Rushi. I can’t even watch Rain on the River, but if you enter the thunder realm, it will be different.”
Li Tianlan is no longer a novice who knew nothing when he first entered the world. At least he has some understanding of the top ten masters of the younger generation. Yu Qingyan once said that Dongcheng Ru is the genius who ranks ahead of Li Baitian among the top ten young masters. , ranked third, nineteen years old, already a master of the Burning Fire Realm, and Jiang Shangyu ranked second. It is said that both of them are geniuses with exquisite bodies and unparalleled learning ability.
However, Li Tianlan didn't pay much attention to it. Wind and thunder veins, heavenly king's heart, and exquisite bones were definitely the best innate conditions for those who practiced martial arts, but innate conditions were not omnipotent.
At the very least, Li Tianlan knew that the number one master of the Heng Kingdom many years ago was a peerless genius with both the heart of a king and exquisite bones. However, after the opponent successfully entered the invincible realm, he was also personally killed by his grandfather. The man in the border camp A red sandalwood plaque with the word "Li" written on it was the trophy that grandpa got after that fierce battle.
And his grandfather Li Honghe, physically speaking, is just an ordinary person.
But Li Baitian spoke so highly of these two people that Li Tianlan couldn't help but ignore them.
When he was in the maze, Li Baitian's Ten Thousand Swords Unity style against Liu Dongyu, the sword's power was majestic but ethereal, and its power had already exceeded the ice-condensing realm. Li Baitian believed that in his current state, if he faced that sword head-on, even if he was lucky, he would at least be seriously injured. Such fighting power was definitely rare for the younger generation, but he believed that he was no match for Dongcheng Rushi and Jiang Shangyu. , this fact, no matter how arrogant Li Tianlan is, he will not ignore it.
However, he still had some doubts and asked subconsciously: "Is everything you said true?"
"Your uncle, isn't it honorable to admit that you can't beat others?"
Li Baitian said angrily.
This was indeed a reason. Li Tianlan laughed and said casually, "Who has a cigarette?"
Ning Qiancheng touched his pocket, took out most of the bag of Zhonghua and threw it to Li Tianlan, regretting: "I'm almost out of stock. If I want to smoke again in the future, I have to exchange it with credits. Save some for me."
Li Tianlan smiled, took out one and lit it before throwing it back.
The three of them each smoked a cigarette. Li Baitian had just woken up from a coma and suffered internal injuries. He coughed violently after just two puffs. He had no choice but to put out the cigarette and sighed: "This exercise is very important to me." What a failure. The ranking was okay, but the result was that he didn't do anything. Is this considered a win? Tianlan's performance was outstanding. Damn, just kill that old bastard Liu Xiuwei. By the way, Tianlan , how on earth did you kill Liu Xiuwei? What's going on with your realm?"
Li Baitian had wanted to ask this kind of question several times during the exercise, and now he finally found the opportunity. He was completely determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.
"It was really just a fluke."
Li Tianlan thought for a while and said seriously: "My weapon is probably a bit beyond his expectation. In addition, in places where no one can see, my movement skills are much more flexible than his. In a head-to-head confrontation, the result will be It’s hard to say, but the old guy wanted to trick me, but I tricked him, and he deserves to die.”
Facing Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng, Li Tianlan told the truth. The Human Emperor was complex and changeable, and its sophistication definitely exceeded Liu Xiuwei's imagination. In addition, his movement skills greatly restrained the Liu family's Martial arts, so the more Liu Xiuwei fought, the more impatient he became. However, he was still smart. If he hadn't wanted to use those two trees to block the Human Emperor's offensive route, Li Tianlan would not have been able to use his trick. The Human Emperor instantly turned into a pair of swords. , directly cut off one of Liu Xiuwei's arms. From that moment on, the opponent's fate was already doomed.
"The Liu family's martial arts is indeed not flexible enough. This is a well-known fact."
Ning Qiancheng nodded. The battle in which Liu Tianqing was defeated ten years ago directly exposed the shortcomings of the Liu family's martial arts to an infinite extent. This was also something that surprised many people.
Liu Tianqing is a strong man in the invincible realm. It shouldn't be difficult for him to create a set of movement skills. Even if this set of movement skills is average, it can slightly make up for the shortcomings of the Liu family's unique skills. But the problem is that he didn't have any skills until his death. It’s worth talking about the unique skills of body skills.
"wrong."
Li Baitian suddenly said: "It is true that the Liu family has flaws in their special skills, but no physical skills can restrain them, and the gap between you and Liu Xiuwei is too big. If you want to restrain them, then It can only be done with the top movement skills in the dark world, Tianlan, what movement skills did you use?"
"I call it Chengfeng."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "As for the top level you mentioned, it shouldn't count, right?"
Chengfeng
This is indeed a name that no one has heard of.
Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng looked at each other. After a brief silence, Li Baitian said, "Tianlan, do you mind if I come and try this movement technique with you?"
Li Tianlan was startled and wanted to say it was not necessary, but seeing Li Baitian's serious expression, he swallowed the words and said, "Okay."
Ning Qiancheng did not speak, but stood up and stepped aside. He had heard rumors about the Taixu Sword in Shushan. The Taixu Sword had only three unique styles, but the third style was a perfect combination of sword and movement, and its power was unparalleled. Infinite, Li Baitian will definitely not be able to grasp the essence of the third sword, but it should be no problem if he has a basic understanding of it.
"Then I'm here?"
Li Baitian stood up and smiled, his eyes excited and eager to try.
"bring it on."
Li Tianlan nodded casually.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Baitian took a step forward.
In an instant, sword intent surged in the ward.
The entire ward seemed to disappear in an instant, and Li Tianlan seemed to be in a void, with sword energy all over his body, but it seemed like nothing existed, only an endless dangerous aura erupting.
At the moment when his mind was attracted by the infinite sword intent, Li Baitian rushed forward, leaping across the distance of seven to eight meters, and struck Li Tianlan directly in the chest with his bare hands.
There was a slight flash of lightning at the door of the ward.
Qin Ke, who happened to be alarmed by Taixu's sword intent in the hospital, appeared directly at the door.
At the same time, almost out of instinct, Li Tianlan moved his steps slightly to the left and retreated at the same time. His body seemed to have no weight at all. It was more like floating than moving.
Countless Li Tianlan appeared in a very small area instantly. Ning Qiancheng, who was watching the battle, suddenly felt dizzy, but his eyes did not dare to relax at all.
But the next second, his pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme.
In his sight, all the afterimages were disappearing. For some reason, Li Tianlan's retreating body came directly behind Li Baitian and grabbed his neck.
Such a movement completely deceived everyone's eyes in an instant.
The entire ward suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Li Baitian, who was already injured, was bleeding from the corner of his mouth again, but he didn't notice it at all. He just screamed in disbelief: "How is this possible?!"
Ning Qiancheng was no less shocked than Li Baitian. He opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Ke at the door spoke directly.
She stared at Li Tianlan with burning eyes: "Dao Jue Zhui Ming! How do you know this kind of movement? What is your relationship with Situ Cangyue, the Hidden God of Central Continent?"
