You said you would practice martial arts. Have you mastered the Tiangang Dharma?

Chapter 128 Northern Wasteland
Following the route that Xue Zhang had already arranged, Jiang Qiu found the corresponding stall owners to buy goods. The things he got were newer than those on the stalls and the prices were even three points lower. After turning around and leaving, he could still feel the stall owners' gazes from time to time.

"Shit... Is he the one who shattered the test stone during the Spirit Fusion Test at the Military Academy?"

"That's awesome. It seems like he was taught by the dean who has nine jade tendons and perfect soul fusion."

"Why, he came to buy something from you? That's awesome! Can you get in touch with such a genius?"

As he walked along the way, Jiang Qiu occasionally felt the burning gazes of passers-by, but he remained calm and just listened carefully to Xue Zhang's introduction to Beihuang, which was similar to what was circulated on the Internet, but more vivid and detailed.

“God Jiang, you may have never been to the Northern Wilderness, so you don’t know how harsh the environment is. Some areas are covered in ice and snow all year round, and there are a large number of monsters and even demon tribes scattered across the wilderness. The martial arts teams that go there to carry out missions often suffer casualties.

However, the local specialties are indeed valuable, including ice crystal fruits that can quickly refine spiritual energy. You can exchange them for a lot of contribution points. Many times, students participating in the rookie competition will also look for opportunities to pick some specialties and bring them back.

There are many secret realms in that place, and they are active for a long time. You can often see quests to enter the secret realms, and the relics in them are produced every year."

Xue Zhang spoke eloquently, with a look of complacency between his eyebrows and his head held high.

"Yeah, but what is this thing for?"

Having reached the edge of the small market, Jiang Qiu pointed to the last picture on the list on his phone and asked.

It was a bronze octagonal ball, engraved with strange wind-shaped patterns. It looked extremely ingenious and was labeled [Wind Summoning Ball].

This is the first time I have seen the picture, but the thing looks a bit like one of the thank-you gifts I have received from many students before, with similar texture and appearance.

"This is a one-time [Wind Summoning Ball], a type of creature created by Baiji. It can release the aura of the violent wind in a short period of time. If it summons a strong wind from bottom to top, it can barely achieve a ten-second flying effect."

Zhang Xue introduced earnestly: "Some areas in the Northern Wasteland have large terrain differences. Students from well-off families will prepare a dozen disposable [Wind Summoning Balls] when participating in the rookie competition. Although it is a bit expensive, costing 100 contribution points each, it is also worth it."

Click.

A silver-white octagonal sphere popped out from Jiang Qiu's left hand. It was slightly larger than a fourth-order Rubik's Cube and could be grasped in one hand. The blue-green lines on it were raging like a violent wind.

"Is this the Wind Summoning Ball?"

"Hiss——" Xue Zhang's pupils widened, and cold wind leaked out through his teeth: "A common treasure-level Hundred Machine Creation?!"

He swallowed his saliva and licked his dry lips: "Generally speaking, students of the Hundred Machines Academy can only produce one-time Hundred Machines creations. The difficulty of this is equivalent to the spiritual charm type Suxiang in the intermediate Suxiang.

It has a storage function and can be used repeatedly. Its flying effect can last for at least three minutes. God Jiang, you actually have such a treasure."

How abrupt! I only knew that Jiang Qiu attended a high school in the outer city and lived in a shantytown when he was in Gaoyuan City, but I didn't expect that he could come up with these Hundred Machine Creations worth a starting value of 5,000 contribution points.

Xue Zhang took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then God Jiang, you have almost prepared everything. We can just board the Hundred Machines Giant Kite in two days."

"it is good."

Jiang Qiu stared at the [Wind Summoning Ball] in his hand. There were several similar things in the storage ring. It turned out that they were all ordinary treasure-level creations of Baiji?
I didn't expect that the things I heard about in the news would now be in my hands.

Three days later, all the students who received the notice to participate in the rookie competition gathered at the Baiji College. On the kilometer-long and wide apron, dozens of gray-black giant kites of various shapes were located there.

Jiang Qiu, Liang Taiyue, Lin Wei and more than 700 other students from the Military Academy followed An Ling here, standing at the feet of the Hundred Machines Giant Kite like a small group of ants.

"Uncle Master, although there are only our school, the Tempering Body School, and the Controlling Spirit School in the rookie competition, they also have incredible talents at the level of spiritual body warriors. You may not have known about some of their methods, so if you want to compete for first place, it's best not to underestimate the enemy."

After hearing the instructions, Jiang Qiu nodded and waved goodbye.

Before climbing the steps of the Hundred Machines Giant Kite, I could vaguely hear the sound of small discussions coming from the other side. I turned my eyes and saw the two hundred people of the Tempering Body Academy and the hundred people of the Controlling Spirit Academy standing together. They all looked curious and amazed.

Among them, the tall figure of the leading disciple Niu Yao also came into view, with a complicated look in his eyes and a slightly frowned brow.

He participated in the rookie competition, but only as a Minghun warrior.
"The rookie competition lasted for more than half a year. I may be able to break through to the Minghun realm. If I want to compete for first place, I will compete for first place at the Minghun level."

Jiang Qiu whispered in his mind, clenched his fists and stepped into the belly of Baiji Zhiyuan, and found a seat by the window to sit down.

drop.

[2125年，7月29日，10点55分]
The time is clearly displayed on the phone. It is possible that the next six months will be spent fighting in the chaotic and dangerous Northern Wilderness, and there will be many opportunities to explore those secret realms.

Jiang Qiu casually clicked into the chat panel with Liu Ziri and swiped twice. Every day, long paragraphs of text explained her rapid growth.

The Refining Department has its own training methods. It is not a combat system and is more talent-intensive, so the paths are a little different. But from the description, progress is very fast.

Moreover, students who choose non-combat courses can more easily reach the Minghun Realm.
"I hope she'll be in the Soul Realm when I come back."

Jiang Qiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, sent a farewell message, and turned off his phone.

Soon, the giant kite took off into the sky, and its two gray-black wings made of special material flapped slightly up and down. The strong wind spirit generated by the complex patterns on the wings pushed back like a storm.

hum-

Amid the howling and screaming sounds inside, Jiang Qiu felt a strong push on his back: "What a fast speed."

Turning his eyes to the window, the thick clouds were broken up by the strong wind and blown away, and another giant kite flying side by side also slowly flapped its wings.

A giant machine powered by a special spiritual ore. It is often mentioned in the news. The first time you ride it, you will feel something different, like a dream.
"God Jiang, there may be a large secret realm in the Northern Wilderness. Will you participate in the relevant tasks at that time?"

Lin Wei, who was sitting nearby, asked.

Jiang Qiu nodded: "Yes."

call--

A few hours passed, the clouds outside the window gradually turned gray, the sun was obscured in the sky, the mountains and plains below moved to the back, and gradually white frost covered the earth, and the thick snow was like a white coat.

Since the revival of the secret realm, the global climate has changed dramatically. The area north of the Xia Kingdom has become a permanent snowfield. A large number of animals and plants have mutated, and the ecology has become wild, so it is called the Northern Wilderness.

However, there is still a big city standing in the Northern Wilderness that has been built over the past hundred years - the Northern Border City.

It is said that thousands of displaced humans and desperate criminals first gathered there, and later batches of traitorous warriors and mercenary gangs took root and built it into the only city north of the Xia Kingdom.

The Internet calls it the city of chaos, which is exactly where every rookie game ends.

"There's still half an hour left. We should be almost at the Northern Border City, right?"

Jiang Qiu murmured to himself, glancing out the window.

The wings of the giant kites were cutting through the gray-white sea of ​​clouds. The snowy mountains and rivers below were no longer visible. It seemed that a storm was about to come?
hum!
Suddenly, the entire giant kite shook, and screams were heard in the cabin. Lin Wei, who was standing beside him, suddenly sat up straight, with murderous intent in his eyes: "I seem to sense a dangerous aura."

His [Martial Arts Talent] is not just about great strength and quick training. It was because of his intuition that he did not lead thousands of classmates into the secret area in Kunlun City.

At this moment, this intuition was particularly strong. The spiritual rhythm of the heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles was in a state of chaos. It was not just a simple storm.
