Chapter 17: Soho Mountain Guardian (Request for Recommendations)
Chong Ba rolled over and sat up, a canopy of blood mist spraying out from his nostrils.
He looked at Sun Li standing in the ring and suddenly laughed out loud. In the midst of his bold laughter, he lightly pressed his palms on the ground, and his entire body floated and flew up, riding the wind and riding his sword high above the ground. The crimson flame aura around his body sprayed irregularly, a terrifying pressure fell on his head, and suppressed Sun Li in the ring to death.
In his chest, even if he had unlimited killing intent, he couldn't bring it out.
Chong Ba wrinkled his brows and looked at Sun Li, something hidden in his eyes - Sun Li had an odd feeling that Chong Ba wanted to make himself understand something.
He was puzzled in his mind: understand that this martial arts fight is just a small path? It doesn't seem like it's so simple ah ......
Chong Ba slowly landed down, collected his flying sword spells, and waved his hand towards Sun Li: "Roll down." The pressure was all gone, and Sun Li was skeptical, so he didn't care about Chong Ba's rudeness in his words and casually walked down.
The disciples were even more confused, completely not understanding what was going on.
After only half an hour, the results were announced.
Unsurprisingly Tian Yingdong took first place and Qin Tianzhang second. Qin Tian Zhan was furious and went away, the disciples were actually talking about what would be the result if the two picked each other and fought a big battle.
Only both of them love to cherish their feathers, before there is no full certainty, will never directly fight.
Surprisingly, Sun Li was ranked fifth.
After Chong Ba released the results, he left without saying a word. He had done all that needed to be done, and it was up to the disciples to comprehend it or not.
Sun Li's results were thought to be outside the top ten for sure. Chong Ba was definitely a vindictive character in the eyes of the disciples, having been beaten up by Sun Li to begin with, it would have been good not to give him a bottom place, but he didn't expect to let Sun Li rake in five Superior Awareness Reward Points.
Su Xiaomei, on the other hand, skimmed his lips and came to Sun Li's side: "Instructor Chongba is too hateful, based on your strength you're definitely number one ......"
A few Class A disciples passed by on the side and threw over a disdainful sentence, "It's just a small path. So what if you can fight now? Look at it in another month, any one of us can easily defeat him."
Su Xiaomei was gloomy, his natural talent was irreversible, and he sighed in vain.
Sun Li understood Chong Ba's bitterness, smiled faintly not caring and said, "I'm already satisfied with being able to take fifth."
Su Xiaomei sighed softly and didn't say anything else.
When Chong Ba did this, Sun Li could figure it out, the first was that he didn't want to let himself be too much in the limelight, how many pairs of eyes would be staring at him if a mediocrely qualified disciple took the martial arts competition championship!
The second was also implicitly hinting to Sun Li that cultivation still came first, and that battle prowess was important, but still had to be ranked after the Great Dao.
He also saw that Chong Ba is a cold outside and hot inside han, just never like to explain, a lot of things he did, you can comprehend on comprehension, can not comprehend but blame him instead, he also does not care to explain the.
......
The passing of the martial arts examination spread, but did not cause any big shock. Chong Zhong and a few other instructors still believe that Sun Li is a bad guy, still the first person on the list of villains.
Cultivation does not work, and other means are no longer strong enough to withstand the six paths of reincarnation, and in the end, it is a shovelful of dirt.
After the martial arts fighting test, Chong Yin informed everyone to prepare for the cultivation test. The time was set for the next day.
The disciples dispersed, each going back to the Lookout Mountain Residence, Sun Li had something on his mind and deliberately waited for a while. Sure enough, when the disciples had all left, he saw Chong Ba alone, carrying his hands behind his back as he walked past a short distance away.
This posture collapsed the muscle curves of his neck, shoulders, and back like steel, and the whole person was as ferocious as an ancient fierce ape.
Sun Li immediately followed, but Chong Ba always managed to be ten feet ahead of Sun Li even though he didn't seem to be walking fast. Whether Sun Li sped up or temporarily slowed down, this distance never changed.
Sun Li also understood, honestly followed behind and walked out of the valley.
The path in the mountain was winding and undulating, but Chong Ba walked up, no matter if it was flat or not, all of them were leveled with one foot. The feeling of an ancient ferocious ape in Sun Li's heart grew stronger.
Luo Huan fell in his mind disdainfully said, "This pretending to be an expert gesture is too unleveled, why doesn't he go and specifically open the way for your ragtag sect ah."
Wu Yao to like Chong Ba: "Luo Huan you sissy, just can't see a bloody man!"
Luo Huan was furious: "Wu Yao you want to die don't you!"
Sun Li secretly muttered, on the basis of your so soulful sentence, Wu Yao scolding is not excessive ah ......
As the two guys were bickering, Sun Li had already followed behind Chong Ba, making seven turns and arriving in front of a small cabin built halfway up the mountain. Chong Ba reached the outside of the cabin, and with both hands, he struck out a spell to ingest into the cabin. The seemingly simple wooden house above, even a series of three layers of light aura, aura in the layers are densely engraved line formation!
After the light, the door of the wooden house was safely opened, Chong Ba did not turn around and walked in, only the door was not closed. Sun Li hurriedly rushed up a few steps, followed in.
After going in but Chong Ba was nowhere to be seen, he was wondering when Chong Ba's voice came from one side: "Come over here."
It turned out that next to a huge cabinet in the middle of the wooden house, there was a small door hidden. Sun Li drilled in, and Chong Ba was sitting inside next to a modest table, manipulating a small and exquisite tea set.
On the red clay stove at his feet, the kettle was bubbling out hot air.
The table is very rough, is with thigh-thick round wood, directly broken into two halves spliced together, with the style of the entire hut in line. Parochial that set of tea set is extremely exquisite, purple sand teapot only fist size, some incongruous accompanied by a few Ru kiln style azure-colored tealight.
Chong Ba took the tea leaves and put them into the teapot, Sun Li took the opportunity to survey the wooden house.
This look made him freeze.
On the four walls, on the side that opened a small door, on both sides of the door hung two huge battle axes, and underneath were two rows of weapon racks, the number of daggers, short swords, copper rings, small shields, bells, ancient mirrors ...... and other small Immortal Soldiers and magic treasures was really quite a lot! And it looks like the grade of each piece is not low.
The other three walls, one wall is a bookcase, which contains dozens of thread-bound ancient books, at a glance there are a lot of years.
On another wall, there was a square grid with various ores and materials.
On the last wall, there were layers of partitions, gradually decreasing from bottom to top, with the longest partition below and the shortest above. On each layer of partition, there was a jade bottle labeled "Nine Air Pill", "Jade Spirit Pill", "Heavenly Rain Dew", "Bing Yuan Pill" and so on. "and so on.
These things, although Sun Li was still unable to fully understand them, he could also tell that they were definitely a huge fortune! Sun Li now understood the general state of the cultivation world, and was also well aware of the truth that a genius without the support of resources was merely a relatively strong scrapper.
The resources within this cabin would definitely make countless cultivators salivate and go crazy with jealousy!
When Sun Li went to look at Chong Ba again, his eyes were somewhat different.
Chong Ba was big and thick with a fierce face. At this time as when the window embroidered flowers and red lady in general, meticulous and elegant and quiet tea service, so that Sun Li has a kind of extraordinarily twisted feeling.
Chong Ba raised his eyes and swept, taking his demeanor into his eyes, slightly dissatisfied, "What's wrong? I can't like tea? That sissy Chong Yin likes to drink the strongest wine, you guys don't know that, do you?"
Sun Li had the feeling of being choked, so he simply dragged a stool and sat down himself, honestly who said, "It's really unexpected that the world would be more receptive if the two of you switched."
Chong Ba a smile, does not feel that he is intemperate, instead said, "This is right, this is you."
He pushed a cup of tea over, and Sun Li drank it in one gulp. Chong Ba was instantly dissatisfied, "Sure enough, country bumpkin, chewing on peonies." Sun Li didn't think so, he grew up in Lotus Terrace Village since he was a child and drank water from a ladle, asking him to taste tea was bullshit.
Chong Ba was well versed in this, sniffing the tea, sipping a small mouthful in his mouth and slowly swallowing it.
Only then did he say, "What do you think of my qualifications?"
Sun Li scratched his eyes, good thing Chong Ba didn't really ask him to answer, "My qualifications were similar to yours at first."
He then continued, "Do you know the intention of what I did just now?"
Sun Li was a bit unsure, "Are you trying to tell me that martial combat and all this is just a minor path?"
Chong Ba did not retort, but simply said, "Small paths can also lead to great achievements."
Sun Li composed himself and waited for the following.
"Even though I am a disciple and have not opened a cave in the back of the mountain, but if it comes to battle prowess, many of the senior masters and uncles in the back of the mountain are no match for me."
He circled his finger, "These resources in my house, most of the master uncles in the back mountain have to be envious as well."
Sun Li remained silent.
Chong Ba looked at Sun Li seriously and said, "Aren't you curious as to why?"
Sun Li also nodded his head seriously and said two words very truthfully, "Curious and envious."
Chong Ba laughed, "Hahaha! You kid is getting more and more to my liking."
After a pause, he drank another cup of tea before he sighed tersely, "You must have guessed it as well, there is a price for this kind of treatment, and this price ...... is actually a chance for people with qualifications like you and me ...... "
......
Half an hour later, Sun Li came out of Chong Ba's cabin with a gloomy face. In his mind, Wu Yao was a little impatient, "What's the hesitation for such a good opportunity? It must be fought for!"
Luo Huan was unhurried, "Don't you make any noise, let Sun Li think clearly on his own."
"Think shit, all brought down by you sissy, indecisive ......"
"Wu Yao don't think I can't do anything about you now, don't you dare say one more sissy word try!"
"Sissy, sissy, sissy ......"
The two argued again.
Sun Li had gotten used to it and was too lazy to bother with them, pondering over Chong Ba's suggestion in his mind.
Chong Ba's identity was special, in addition to the academy's instructor, he also had another identity: mountain guardian.
Simply put, it was the gold medal fighter of the sect. The cultivation level might not necessarily be high, but the combat power must be superb. Because the mountain guardian was to be sacrificed as cannon fodder in moments of real danger, so instead, those disciples with good qualifications and great promise could not be chosen to serve.
However, in order for the mountain guardians to have strong combat power, the resources of magic treasures, pills, and techniques were definitely not spared within the sect in order to cultivate the mountain guardians.
If the sect is attacked, the mountain guardian must be the first to kill out and test the strength of the enemy. If the enemy is not strong enough, they will be killed on the spot. If the enemy's strength is too strong ...... the mountain guardian is to send death, but can test the enemy's strength for the fellow disciples behind.
And at the last moment, when the mountain gate can't be defended, the mountain guardians will have to cover the retreat of the sect. When fellow disciples retreated from the secret passage, the mountain guardian would have to stay in the middle of something, manipulating various formations to stall the enemy.
Such people were found in almost every sect, only called differently.
Chong Ba's intention was to have Sun Li compete for the position of Mountain Guardian. Because the Mountain Guardian's own cultivation was not high, his Yang life was limited. As long as Sun Li was able to pass the sect's examination and become a reserve mountain guardian, then he would receive strong support from the sect's resources. With these resources, Sun Li would be able to reach the Daoist Realm even if his qualifications weren't good, much stronger than he was now.
The only problem was that the Demon Cultivators of Ghost Rong had been extraordinarily calm these past few years.
Sounds like a good thing, before the devil cultivators although not look down on the Sui, but every year to send people to sneak into the Sui to toss a few things, these years suddenly did not move, Chong Ba estimates that it is the quiet before the storm.
I heard that the ghost Rong territory of the top ten spirit stone veins are about to mine the light, those heavenly treasures concentrated in a few secret areas in recent years to produce the spirit, spirit medicine is also less and less.
On the contrary, the Great Sui, a place that has always been considered barren, has been discovering spirit stone mines one after another in recent years.
The demonic cultivators were afraid that they were brewing some major operation.
Chong Ba analyzed things clearly with Sun Li: what he can see through, the sect's senior management can naturally see through, this kind of critical moment the weight of the mountain guardian is heavier, and will receive more support; but the corresponding danger will also be greater!
Exactly how to choose, all depends on Sun Li himself. (This chapter is nearly four thousand words, folks, seems to be not much more than can be added ah, everyone give a little more force! The plot, the beginning is slow, I understand myself, soon will be good, you wait for yo!)
