Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 194 Disciples

There was no dining hall in the inner courtyard, so Zhao Lin went directly to his residence to eat.

The living conditions in the inner courtyard are much better than those in the Dancing Elephant Academy, and each disciple has a separate two-entry mansion.

Zhao Lin has already moved here for two nights in advance, so he is familiar with the road.

The servants quickly prepared the meals, and Zhao Lin went out again after eating and drinking. He came to the Hongrong Pavilion and asked Hu Xuancheng for a bowl of "Jiuhong Soup".

Jiuhong soup is made from nine kinds of medicinal materials that replenish qi and blood, including calendula safflower, Xuezhi, and Nanzhuzi. Because the nine medicinal materials are all red, it is named Jiuhong.

When one's cultivation has reached the blood realm, one's own energy and blood are sufficient, so there is no need to drink medicine every day like the strength realm and Qi realm, and one can take it every three to five days.

After Zhao Lin drank Jiuhong Soup, he came out of Hongrong Pavilion and met Xiang Bao, Zhong Yewu and two disciples he didn't know.

All four of them looked tired, walked heavily, and looked overworked.

"Senior Brother Xiang, Senior Brother Zhong, the two senior brothers."

Zhao Lin stood still and cupped his hands.

"I don't dare to be a senior brother. I heard from Xiang Bao that you are very powerful. Maybe next month I will have to call you a senior brother."

One of the disciples was thin, with mung bean eyes and a pointed chin.

Zhao Lin didn't know what he meant, and looked at Xiang Bao.

Xiang Bao explained with a smile: "Brother Zhao doesn't know something. There is a rule in the inner court. The ranking of disciples does not depend on age, nor does it depend on who started early."

"Whoever is strong is a senior brother, and whoever is not strong can only be a senior brother."

Only then did Zhao Lin realize that just now he thought that person was acting strangely.

Xiang Bao introduced Zhao Lin and the two of them.

The thin and small disciple who spoke just now is called Hou Qian. He has been in the inner court for four years. He is a veteran and his skills are quite good.

However, Hou Qian was good at agility and weak in strength. Yang Lin was very dissatisfied with this and asked him to practice strength with the newcomer Xiang Bao and others.

Another disciple is Li Liang, who was originally a disciple of the outer court. With his hard work, he was a late bloomer. At the age of 24, he broke through the blood realm and became a disciple of the inner court.

Then, Xiang Bao asked: "Brother Zhao, how did you feel on the first day?"

Zhao Lin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It's good, it's not the same as the Dance Elephant Academy, and Director Yang is very thoughtful."

Xiang Bao gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that the method is a bit radical."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Lin, "You're not bad, I was stung by a spotted-tailed bee on the first day and I lay on the bed for a whole day..."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Lin bid farewell to the four of them, returned to the mansion to wash up briefly, and then went to bed to rest.

In my sleep, the azimuth map of the 64 hexagrams appeared in my mind for a while, and densely packed spotted-tailed wasps appeared for a while.

The next day.

Zhao Lin came to the stone room and began to practice footwork.

Not long after, the instructor Wei Hong walked in and looked at it for a while, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

"You can master the shuttle step in one day. It seems that you have worked hard. Try it faster?"

"it is good!"

Zhao Lin agreed, and moved faster.

After walking dozens of steps, Wei Hong frowned, and Zhao Lin knew he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly stopped.

"It's normal, take your time." Wei Hong encouraged.

Zhao Lin continued to practice hard, increasing his speed little by little.

For the next few days, apart from practicing Gui Hai Jue, he spent most of his time practicing footwork.

Gradually, you can trot and step through all the hexagram positions of the shuttle step, but you are still far from running at full speed.

On the fifth day, Yang Lin called Zhao Lin to the courtyard and asked him to fight the spotted-tailed bee again.

"It doesn't matter, just follow the shuttle's footwork." Wei Hong urged.

"it is good."

Zhao Lin took a deep breath, went through the flying shuttle step in his mind, and then raised his sword to stab the hive...

hum!
The spotted-tailed wasp rushed out of the hive and jumped out angrily.

Zhao Lin turned his body slightly, and his feet naturally walked obliquely along the "Da You" position, stepped on the "Modest" position, and then Guimei, Lin, Wuwang...

Strange to say, Zhao Lin was worried about stepping in the wrong direction, so he didn't walk fast, but between advancing and retreating, the spotted-tailed bee missed several times.

Whenever the spotted-tailed wasps were about to flap their wings to speed up, Zhao Lin would change direction and appear in an unexpected position, and they had to change their flight direction accordingly.

After walking for more than ten steps, there was no spotted-tailed wasp approaching.

Zhao Lin's confidence increased greatly, and he stabbed out the three-edged sword one after another, and each sword could kill one or two bar-tailed wasps.

However, although the individuals of the spotted-tailed wasps were mentally retarded, they seemed to gain wisdom after gathering together, and quickly dispersed, besieging Zhao Lin from all directions.

Seeing that there were more and more spotted-tailed bees around him, Zhao Lin had no choice but to speed up his steps, and started to make mistakes.

Finally, a spotted-tailed wasp landed on his shoulder and stung.

Then came the second, and the third...

Zhao Linyou's spirit beast figure absorbed the poison, and continued to swing his sword to kill the spotted-tailed wasp without stopping.

The bee carcass fell down rustlingly.

After about a quarter of an hour, everything was calm.

Zhao Lin glanced at the three-edged sword, and the spotted-tailed bees were strung together on the tip of the sword.

"How? Is the footwork useful?"

Yang Lin came over with a smile on his face.

Convinced, Zhao Lin nodded vigorously.

"My requirement for the disciples in the inner court is to be able to survive a hundred breaths. You have an anti-drug physique, so the requirements are naturally higher."

"When can you kill all the spotted-tailed wasps without any injuries, when will you pass, how?"

"Follow the Headmaster's order."

……

Suddenly, at the end of the month, there were suddenly more people in the inner courtyard.

Zhao Lin would often meet them when he went in and out of the practice room, or when he went to Hongrong Pavilion to get medicine.

Judging from their attire, these people were also disciples of the inner court just like him.

But the cultivation base is much higher.

Most people's cultivation bases are above the first level of the blood realm, and there are even two who have reached the third level of the blood realm.

Zhao Lin has been in the inner courtyard for more than half a month, and he has a general understanding of the situation here.

Yang Lin tests the cultivation of the school's disciples at the beginning of each month. These people must be the disciples of the inner court who were guarding the mountain outside before and now come back to participate in the assessment.

"I heard that only those who become the top ten in the inner courtyard are eligible to participate in the martial arts competition. It is just a matter of taking advantage of this assessment to see how strong they are..."

The first of August.

The disciples of the inner court gathered together for Xiao Yang, and the head of the school, Yang Lin, and the four teachers stood in the center of the venue, facing everyone.

The disciples formed a semicircle and spontaneously stood according to the latest assessment ranking.

The disciple who ranked first was named Xiao Jin, who was the oldest and most powerful person in the inner courtyard.

He is 28 years old this year, and he will be 30 two years later. He is stuck within the age limit of the martial arts competition, and he has taken advantage of this.

You must know that although some people have outstanding talents, they are not born at the right time. The most powerful 29 and 30 years old will be staggered with the martial arts competition.

Ranked second and third are Miao Tianfeng and Lu Zhenglong, two well-known geniuses of the sect.

They all entered the inner court before they were 20 years old, and they performed very well in last year's martial arts competition.

What's even more commendable is that both of them are only 24 and five years old, and they can still participate in two martial arts competitions.

The fourth disciple was named Yao Chong. Although he was not as good as Miao and Lu in actual combat, his cultivation was one level higher. In the inner courtyard, he and Xiao Jin were the only ones in the third blood level.

These four people have dominated the top four in the inner courtyard for many years, and they are almost unshakable.

Xiang Bao's elder brother, Xiang Shaofeng, was ranked fifth.
