the first god

Chapter 352 Just Persevere
But this time Ma Yunteng is not alone. There are eight other students who are at this stage, basically all of them have been practicing for more than a year. suffer.Feng Zhaohua brought him here and left. After all, he also had his own cultivation tasks, and Ma Yunteng would not need to do anything with these people.

I got acquainted with a few people around me, and everyone is basically fifteen or sixteen years old. I was a little surprised that Ma Yunteng started to exercise at the age of ten. It is worth mentioning that all eight people are teenagers, so there is not much Most of them are topless.A strong boy with short hair named Liu Rui, and a taciturn curly-haired boy named Gai Zhe.These two are the ones closest to the breakthrough among the eight. Liu Rui has practiced for ten months, while Gai Zhe has been practicing for nine months.After Ma Yunteng came to join, he changed his body and began to exercise with them.

Huanhao College, Outer Court

"Okay, that's it for today, let's go." Seeing that the time was almost up, Ling Yi waved and said.

The young man who was struggling to carry big rocks not far away finally heaved a sigh of relief, unloaded the burden and dispersed, everyone was dirty, and when they ran away, they looked like refugees fleeing from a refugee. Yi laughed secretly. Most people still maintained a certain demeanor and pride when they first came here, but now they don't pay much attention to these after three months, which is interesting.

At this moment, a voice sounded behind her, "Sister Ling Yi, I...I have something to tell you." Ling Yi turned her head, saw that it was Qi Xian, and said with a pretty face, "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it quickly."

At this time, Qi Xian no longer has the temperament of a young master three months ago, but his body is indeed much stronger, and his eyes are also firmer, but now facing Ling Yi, he still said cautiously: "That... last night , I accidentally picked up a strange thing." "Oh, what is it like?" Ling Yi asked. "It's like a box, but it seems to be solid, with a strange mark on it." Qi Xian thought for a while and said. "Take me to see"

Ling Yi looked at the object in his hand. It was picked up by Qi Xian. It was about the size of a palm, and it was black all over. It was like a square jug, and a special symbol was engraved on it.Naturally, Ling Yi didn't recognize it. After thinking about it, she decided to copy this symbol and show it to the professors of the college.

"Qi Xian, you have to keep this thing well, it might not be that simple." Before leaving, Ling Yi told Qi Xian seriously, "Yeah, I understand, I must protect it." Qi Xian nodded.

However, that night, a change occurred.

Because Ma Yunteng left, Qi Xian lived alone, so the mysterious object was naturally placed in the house.But at midnight, Qi Xian was startled awake by bursts of cold.After searching for a while, I found the source. This black object was emitting black light. This light was jumping like a flame, as if it was burning.Faced with this situation, he was completely at a loss. He naturally didn't dare to reach out to touch it, but he also didn't dare to just watch it like this. When he was considering whether to wake everyone up, the black light became more active.

Qi Xian wiped his head, only to realize that he was already breaking out in cold sweat at some point.Although the black object was only the size of a palm, it gave him a great sense of oppression, and he couldn't even move at this moment.Damn, why is this thing so weird.Qi Xian swallowed, and decided to call for someone.You can open your mouth but find in despair that you can't make a sound at all.At this time, the black light on the black object suddenly exploded, and Qi Xian only saw the boundless darkness before losing consciousness.

In the dark night, blackness suddenly engulfed everything. This situation was weird and seemed normal, but unexpectedly, nothing happened in the college that night. It seemed that no one knew what happened that night.

The next day, Ling Yi found Professor Ling and took out the pattern, "Auntie, do you recognize this sign?"

"Oh?" Professor Ling put down the scroll in his hand, took the drawing handed over by Ling Yi, and began to observe. "This sign... I seem to have seen it before. It may be in the library of the college." Ling Bi thought for a while and said, "What is that, do you remember?" Ling Bi said: "Let me look for it again. There should be results... but where did you find this?"

"Ah? That?" Ling Yi was taken aback, not knowing whether to say it, but just as she was thinking about how to answer, there was a knock on the door. "Please come in"

"Professor Ling is in serious trouble, and the vice president wants you to come over quickly." As soon as the door opened, a student rushed in, out of breath.
"What's wrong?" Ling Bi stood up and asked. "The outer court... the students from the outer court disappeared overnight."

Although it was still early in the morning, there were still patches of quaint buildings here, and the Huanhao Outer Courtyard seemed no different from the past.

But after a little observation, you can detect the weirdness. The lively scene in the past is quiet today.What should be a vibrant atmosphere exudes a sense of lifelessness, which is chilling.The lush flowers and plants everywhere have withered and fallen without knowing when, and even a large number of tile-roofed houses and gazebos also showed signs of dilapidation, and the most strange thing is that the day before, it was a place where hundreds of people gathered and lived, but now it looks like it has just been destroyed. The ruins found are generally lifeless.

Just at the junction of the outer courtyard and the interior, a group of people are seriously looking at all this.The leading scholar didn't say a word, his elegant demeanor was barely maintained, and the folding fan in his hand was still but no longer shaking. This was the vice president of Huanhao College.

"Mr. Li, what do you think?" the scholar asked without turning his head. "After checking by the old man, although we can't find the reason for the student's disappearance, we have a guess in terms of the dilapidated scene." The old man behind him replied unhurriedly.

"Please tell me, Mr. Li," said the scholar.
"Dark elements represent decay and death. This situation is the most likely." The old man replied. "What did you say?" Not only the scholar, but everyone on the side gathered their eyes.

Elements are the foundation of the world, and everything is composed of different elements.As the source of the power of nature, elements are also an unavoidable content of cultivation. Whether it is a warrior or a monk who has reached a certain level, he must absorb, control and comprehend the elements to obtain further breakthroughs.The dark element is a kind of element, and what it represents is the decay and death that Mr. Li said.However, dark elements are very rare, so even the people of Huanhao College mostly know or hear about them from books, and few people have actually seen them.

"That said, I have some impression." The scholar was stunned for a moment, "But this scene is too incredible, it is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it may not even be artificial."

Ling Bi on the side suddenly remembered something, took out a piece of paper from his body and looked at it, which aroused the interest of the scholar not far away.

"Professor Ling, what are you looking at?" the scholar asked. "Vice President, do you recognize this sign?" Ling Bi turned around and said with a complicated expression.

"This is." The scholar took a look, and his expression changed immediately, "This is the dark mark, what do you mean by taking this out?"

Ling Bi said with a complicated expression what Ling Yi had said earlier in the morning. After hearing it, the people around her all guessed that the disappearance of these students was probably related to that black object.

"Mr. Li, please bring two teachers to continue searching here to see if you can find any clues." The deputy dean directed, "I'll go back and report this to the senior management of the college. Professor Ling, please bring Ling Yi here. And send someone to Huanhao City to ask for help."

After the task was arranged, everyone was preparing to act separately, when a teacher asked: "Should we keep this matter a secret from the students?" The vice-principal stopped walking back and said, "Temporarily block the inner courtyard and let the students not come out. , I will tell them when things become clear.”

Ling Yi had just come out of the deputy dean's office, with her chin propped up, her brows slightly frowned, and she didn't even hear someone calling her.

"Hey, why didn't you respond to me?" Suddenly she was patted on the shoulder, and Ling Yi was startled and turned her head, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Xiaowen, you're back, I didn't hear you call just now."

Behind Ling Yi was a young girl about her age, with coiled hair and a yellow dress, with a very petite figure, and her facial features were not much worse than Ling Yi's.This girl is called Lu Wen, and she is good friends with Ling Yi.

"Didn't I just come back from my mission? Let me know what's on your mind?" Lu Wen asked, blinking her eyes.

"I..." Ling Yi thought of the vice president's words again. This matter is no small matter, and you must not tell the students, or the consequences will be serious.Shaking his head secretly, he said, "I don't know how to cultivate, so I asked, I don't know if I can make progress after I go back."

"What's the matter, if there's anything you don't understand, let's just discuss it." Lu Wen smiled and said, "Go, I brought you something good when I came back!"

At this time, the scholar and Ling Bi were observing what Ling Yi drew in the room. It was the black object. Although Ling Yi was not proficient in painting skills, she still showed the objects she saw that day more intuitively.

"I have never seen this thing before, maybe I can show it to the people in Huanhao City." After thinking for a long time, the vice president shook his head and said helplessly.

"Things can only be like this until now, let's see what progress can be made over there." Ling Bi also felt very sorry, now this is an important clue, but it is difficult to get it, which is really a headache.

With such a big incident happening in the outer court, the news from the inner court was indeed blocked. Most of the students didn't know what happened, but they were told that there was some situation outside and all students were temporarily prohibited from going out.

But on Ma Yunteng's side, everyone doesn't seem to care too much about this. "Not allowed to go out? I don't have any need to go out for the time being, what about you?" Liu Rui rolled his eyes, and closed his eyes after seeing people shaking their heads around him. At this time, he was sitting on a pile of red-hot stove coals , red all over, and several other people went down to rest because they couldn't hold on for too long, and only Liu Rui and Gai Zhe remained on the stage.After all, Ma Yunteng just started exercising and naturally he couldn't last for a long time. Instead, he sat in the prepared potion to recover like the people who came down.

When he heard the notice that he was forbidden to go out, Ma Yunteng couldn't help thinking of Qi Xian outside and the two Liugao children who came with them, and wondered what happened to them.But soon Ma Yunteng put aside these things. What he has to do now is to practice, and he can't get out anyway, so it's useless to think about it.

"When recovering, don't forget to run through your whole body with strength. Not only can you speed up your recovery, but you can also improve the training effect." At this time, Liu Rui also came down from the stage, and his red muscles looked a little hideous. Liu Rui couldn't wait while talking into his own potion.

Ma Yunteng followed the instructions and mobilized the energy in the body to circulate in the body. This process has been very proficient after the breakthrough. As the speed gradually increased, the physical fatigue was indeed slowly dispelling.In fact, Ma Yunteng has never noticed the form of energy. He can only feel its existence and movement, but it is difficult to judge its other aspects. Therefore, Ma Yunteng immediately moved his heart and tried to mobilize energy to touch his body. Maybe this can help Feel its form.

"Bang" a small sound sounded, and Ma Yunteng quickly covered his waist in pain.He looked up and saw that other people had closed their eyes to recover before grinning. This really hurts, Ma Yunteng had to stop while thinking.The attempt just now failed. The movement of strength in the meridians is completely incomparable with that around the body. Before that, I didn’t control it well and hit my waist. Now Ma Yunteng feels that it must have been smashed through, and he dared not make any more chaos In the future, I can only repeat the previous work in a regular manner.

However, as the penetration deepened, Ma Yunteng discovered a special phenomenon.Although the waist here was damaged due to previous injuries, it has recovered rapidly in a short period of time now, and the strength of the recovered tissue has also been improved under the penetration of strength.While being surprised, Ma Yunteng had a bold idea in his mind. Could it be that the effect of recovery after being injured is greater than the effect of training? If the previous method is used to hit first and then recover, there may be unexpected changes.

But thinking of the pain, Ma Yunteng was a little hesitant, the damage from the inside of the body was more painful than the external trauma.After thinking about it for a long time, Ma Yunteng was heartbroken. It is not a pity that he rarely came up with a good idea, but it is not suitable now. It is not good if the movement is louder and others notice it. It is better to find a place where there is no one at night.

That night, Ma Yunteng started to try in the room, and as expected, he clutched his waist again with a "bang" and began to recover slowly. The effect was the same as during the day, and the intensity had increased.Seeing the changes, Ma Yunteng was overjoyed, it really is good, this should shorten the training time, and it should not take a year for him to break through, as long as he persists, the exercise should be completed soon.

The next day, the outer courtyard.

"Vice President, this is Lord Wu Zhang from the City Lord's Mansion of Huanhao City, this is Elder Luo Yan from Dark Ye Sect, and Rongbai Jijiu from Xuanwu Academy." Seeing that the Vice President and others were already waiting in the outer courtyard , Ling Bi hastily introduced.
