Chapter 135: The Competing Plan (Part 2)
"This is the legendary Tianmen Martial Arts Academy's strongest martial arts academy of the Ganming Dynasty. As long as you enter it, you will become a disciple of the emperor?" Niu Guifeng, dressed in shabby clothes, stood in front of the main gate of the Martial Arts Academy, deeply shocked by the grandeur.
Yun Yuanhe stood beside him and gently lined up his shoulders: "Don't be envious, it won't take long to be one of them. Let's go in."
Yun Yuan Tai and Yun Yuanqi were behind and whispered: "Niu Guifeng is seventeen years old this year. Although his martial arts cultivation is average, he is a talisman genius. His master is only a fourth-level talisman master. He discovered him half a year ago and accepted him as his personal disciple. It took only half a year to become a second-level talisman master!
This time is shorter than Sun Ang. Do you think his talent is still above Sun Ang?
Fortunately, his master's life span was exhausted. This kid had no master and ran to Mingjing alone to make a fuss. I happened to meet him. Hehe, as long as Zuo Zhenzong discovered his qualifications, Sun Ang immediately fell out of favor!"
Yun Yuanqi nodded vigorously and gritted his teeth and said, "When the time comes, without the protection of Zuo Zhenzong and the exclusion of the newly-entered junior brother Niu Guifeng, we can deal with Sun Ang as we want!"
"That's right!"
...
Sun Ang happened to tell his master that he was in seclusion, and that Zuo Zhenzong could be a little more leisurely for a while.
"Liu Shenghe's disciple?" After receiving the call, Zuo Zhenzong frowned slightly. Liu Shenghe was a fourth-level talisman master, which was much worse than his level, and even worse than Zhao Wuwang. However, because the circle of talisman master was very small, he had heard of this person.
"Forget it, let him come in."
Niu Guifeng walked in to see him as a junior, and then said that his master had returned westward. Zuo Zhenzong was also a little sighed and couldn't help but comfort him, and then asked casually: "How long have you been following Liu Shenghe and practicing? What level is it now?"
Niu Guifeng answered very "honestly" according to what Yun Yuanhe taught before: "I have only been learning talisman seals with my master for half a year. I just started it, and now I am just a second-level talisman master."
"Puff!" Zuo Zhenzong sprayed out a mouthful of tea: "How long? What level? Do you say it again?"
"It's only half a year, I've just started it, and I'm still just a second-level talisman master."
Zuo Zhenzong stood up suddenly and said solemnly: "Follow me."
He led Niu Guifeng inside and pointed at his workbench: "There are various materials on it. Choose your best second-level talisman seal and make one for me to see."
"Yes." Niu Guifeng stepped forward to start making.
Yun Yuanqi and the other two hid in a corner outside and looked out from time to time: "Do you think Niu Guifeng can succeed?"
Yun Yuan was so confident: "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem. After half a year, Zuo Zhenzong could not be moved."
...
After four full hours, Niu Guifeng finally completed a second-level talisman seal. This is a "quicksand seal" with a moderate difficulty among the second-level talisman seal. It can control the earth-moving energy and turn the hard ground into a piece of quicksand to trap the enemy.
It is very useful in combat between low-level warriors. The second-level talisman seal is mostly used by low-level warriors.
Zuo Zhenzong took it over and took a look. The production was in a normal manner and it could be seen that the basic skills were quite solid, but there was no innovation.
Zuo Zhenzong couldn't help but compare him with Sun Ang: spirituality may be worse, but only in half a year, the speed is absolutely terrifying. Even Sun Ang took a year to reach the second level.
He was a little hesitant about whether to accept another disciple.
Liu Shenghe has passed away, so Niu Guifeng is now "free" and it is reasonable to accept him as his disciple. However, the duel time for this generation of successors is approaching, and the resources at his hands are limited, so the two disciples may have to give up one and cultivate the other one with all their efforts.
He suddenly became entangled. Although Niu Guifeng's current realm is a little worse, according to his qualifications, he should be able to surpass Sun Ang soon...
He asked angrily: "Where do you live? What are your plans to come to Mingjing?"
Niu Guifeng said: "I am temporarily living in Jingsheng Inn. If I want to develop in Mingjing in the future, I may have to find a house to rent it."
Zuo Zhenzong thought about it and took out a box of jade money and handed it to him: "Please take this money first. Liu Shenghe and I are considered old acquaintances. Since you have come to Mingjing, I have the obligation to take care of my old friends. You are living in Jingsheng Inn. Let me think about it and see if you can arrange an errand for you."
Niu Guifeng seemed a little disappointed, but he still accepted the money respectfully and bowed and said goodbye: "Thank you, senior!"
After he left, Zuo Zhenzong sat alone in the room, holding his chin and seemed a little embarrassed.
In my mind, memories rolled in...
The young and energetic Zuo Zhenzong and his junior brother Zhao Wuwang were at a high spirit, but the two branches of one lineage were in duel, and the master was unfortunately defeated.
The opponent is extremely vicious, and the master is resigned with hatred. Before he died, he was a brother who was very reluctant to leave.
Zuo Zhenzong and Zhao Wuwang cried into tears. That was the first time that Zuo Zhenzong realized that the inheritance he had endured was so heavy!
In the next decades, he devoted all his energy to studying the way of talisman seals. Without the guidance of his master, he tried it bit by bit by bit. Countless talisman explosions almost cost him his life.
But he never retreated because he could not move forward was a dead end! But he still remembered his master's great revenge, and he wanted to live and avenge his master.
Finally, he became a sixth-level talisman master. However, the other opponents are not simple. They are extremely talented and have guidance and help from their masters, and they also reach the level of the sixth-level.
The two met in a duel and finally the final result was evenly matched.
Although both sides were very unwilling to accept this ending, they could only accept the ending. So all the hopes of Zuo Zhenzong to avenge his master were placed on his disciples.
Over the years, he continued to work hard to become the seventh-level talisman master, the first talisman master of the Qianming Dynasty. There were countless princes and nobles, even friends, who wanted to send their children to his disciples.
But Zuo Zhenzong refused all of them because he knew very well that he was not qualified and would die when he came to his own disciple.
"Oh..." He sighed, and Sun Ang's shadow appeared in his heart again.
There is no doubt that Sun Ang is very fond of his appetite, but this is a great revenge of life and death. He had to put his personal preference aside first and focus on the interests of his master.
"Perhaps, I should give Sun Ang a chance to see which of the two of them is better. If Sun Ang loses... Then before the sect decision, my junior brother and I will do our best to cultivate Niu Guifeng. When the sect duel is over, we will compensate Sun Ang."
Zuo Zhenzong made a decision, so the next day he sent someone to find Niu Guifeng and invited him to the Tianmen Martial Arts Academy.
"Liu Shenghe has died. You are now a second-level talisman master. There is still a lot of room for development in the talisman seal. I wonder if you are willing to join my disciple?"
Niu Guifeng was overjoyed and kneeled down: "I really want to ask for it!"
Zuo Zhenzong grabbed him: "Don't need to become a disciple for now. Our sect is a bit special, and Sun Ang was the same before. I will not admit that you are less than the level of a third-level talisman master."
Niu Guifeng nodded confidently: "Master, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Zuo Zhenzong smiled: "Prepare it, wait for your senior brother to come out of seclusion in a few days, arrange for you two to meet for your teacher, and you must also test the potential of your two respectively."
Niu Guifeng nodded with a smile: "Yes."
After coming out of Zuo Zhenzong, Niu Guifeng walked around a few times and confirmed that no one was following him. He appeared in the private room of a restaurant.
Yun Yuanqi and the other two had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Niu Guifeng sat down, he immediately clenched his fists excitedly and waved: "It's successful! Zuo Zhenzong has already planned to accept me as a disciple, and he has to wait for Sun Ang to take the exam for our potential after he left the seclusion!"
"Hahaha! That's great. This is equivalent to letting you two decide the outcome. Sun Ang will undoubtedly lose. At that time, you will be the favorite disciple of President Zuo Zhenzong." Yun Yuanqi and others were overjoyed, and Niu Guifeng was also full of confidence.
...
Sun Ang was sweating all over his body, and he was almost exhausted, but his hands were extremely calm. The last stroke was engraved, the entire talisman seal was completed, and the vitality communicated with the world. The surplus of the forehead flowed in the entire talisman seal, gradually affecting a subtle world order around him.
He collapsed on the ground, and grinned at the Eight Wind Seal floating above his head.
Although it was very hard, he still succeeded. The moment when the third-level talisman seal was successful, it meant that Sun Ang became a third-level talisman master.
Generally speaking, the human world has a default boundary: the creator reaches the fourth level and the talisman master reaches the third level, and the strength can be recognized as the ability to establish his own business.
The most secular explanation is that when you reach this level, you can graduate from the "apprenticeship" stage and go out to take on work and make money.
The Eight Wind Seals rotated slowly, causing a stream of breeze to blow from all directions, making the very tired Sun Ang feel a hint of coolness and refreshed his spirit.
This is a situation where there is no full force to activate it. If it is in a combat situation, the Eight Wind Seal will blow a strong hurricane. The wind will help the fire, which can expand Sun Ang's sea of fire more than ten times, and the flames will become more hot.
This was of great help to Sun Ang.
He rested for a while, and the Yuanxi period was running, and he had already recovered his energy. Then he jumped up from the ground, took a shower with the well water in the yard, changed into clean clothes, and carefully wrapped the Bafeng Yin, and went to find his master Zuo Zhenzong excitedly.
Zuo Zhenzong has been a little distracted these days, often distracted by eating and doing things, and will sigh from time to time.
When Sun Ang came, he was sitting behind the desk in a daze. There was a half-made fourth-level talisman on the desk. Although it was a hand-practice work, these materials were also worth tens of thousands of jade money.
He was stunned for a long time and suddenly woke up and looked down. The materials he had been processed had expired and the entire fourth-level talisman seal was scrapped.
He shook his head with a wry smile, then sighed and said to himself, as if he was convincing himself: "Sun Ang can understand that this is a choice that must be made, and it is also a good thing for him. There is no need to bet on his life for the hatred of his previous generations."
But he is crazy about the world, and he has been a person with temperament since he was a child. Another expression of a person with temperament is irrationality.
He knew what to make a decision, but he just couldn't. Even though he forced himself to make a decision, he still couldn't let it go. He always felt that doing so was a betrayal of his disciple Sun Ang.
