It rained heavily, and there was no light in the dark sky. This was the heaviest rain since the beginning of autumn. The surrounding area became increasingly chilly, as if it had already entered early winter.
On the streets and alleys, rainwater flowed into the sewers. The entire Imperial Wind Academy was shrouded in a layer of rain and mist, filled with a thick and ancient atmosphere.
Different from the famous schools in other administrative regions, the architectural structure of Imperial Wind Academy is extremely retro. Legend has it that this thousand-year-old martial arts academy was carved out of the mountain by the Wuyan Bridge of the Great Wuzong. And Imperial Wind Academy
The Science and Technology Institute was built later. In the original Imperial Wind Academy, there was almost no trace of scientific and technological civilization, which was closely related to the "Tao followed nature" advocated by Wuyanqiao Dawu Sect.
In the entire Imperial Wind Academy, the most distinctive area is the Qianlong Academy of the Elite Three Academy.
Qianlongyuan is located at the foot of the mountain behind the college. There are nine squares in total. The school buildings are built around the squares. Viewed from a high altitude, the land is like a dragon, winding into nine bends. Therefore, Qianlongyuan is also known as
It is Jiuqulongyuan.
At midnight, at the entrance to the first square of Qianlongyuan, fierce fist winds roared up, scattering the rainwater.
Amid the rain, Li Er was naked from the waist up, and his muscles bulged like a horned dragon, making his body taller. His originally burly and majestic body was now nearly 4 meters tall, standing in the wind and rain like a bronze statue.
A giant statue made of juice.
However, it was a blood-stained statue, with dense wounds all over its body. Streams of blood flowed down, dripping onto the ground, and were instantly washed away by the rain.
"Huh..., Huh..., Huh..." Li Er panted violently, his breath ragged, but his eyes were unyielding, staring at the dozen teenagers in front of him.
Opposite him, stood a dozen teenagers wearing Imperial Wind Academy uniforms. Their cuffs were all embroidered with golden dragon patterns, representing their status as elite students of Qianlong Academy.
Next to these students, there were five injured people lying half-lying, all of whom were covered with paint. Two of them had unnatural bends in their arms, showing that their arms were broken, and they were moaning slightly.
Staring at the exhausted Li Er, several second-year students among them burst into laughter, with contemptuous expressions on their faces.
"Since my first grade, I have been told by the academy to become one of the gatekeepers of the 'Leaping Dragon Gate' trial. I originally thought that the people who participated in the trial would be what kind of geniuses, but I never expected that they would turn out to be such trash."
"Simply cultivating the body, Yuan Li's progress has stalled. Such a result, although the explosive power is amazing, but without the support of the inner Yuan, how can it be possible to fight for a long time. With the cultivation of the body, even if you can defeat a few people,
So what?"
"Yes, if Neiyuan has cultivated to the third level of martial arts, he can become a Zhoutian, and the cycle will repeat, endless. So what if you only rely on cultivating the body, even if you have extremely strong destructive power, it will only go astray. The future of martial arts
The path of learning is dark and dull.”
"You can't blame him. He is not suitable for cultivating Yuanli by nature, so he can only find other ways. What's funny is that this kid probably has developed his limbs through physical training, and his mind is too simple. He really thinks that he can get through it."
The trial of "Jumping through the Dragon Gate"? Not to mention 99 elite students, even if there are 9 students, he cannot defeat them continuously."
"As far as I know, the reason why our academy passed the 'Leaping over the Dragon Gate' trial was to make these physical training students quit in spite of the difficulties. Who would have thought that some people really overestimate their own abilities and try to leap over the Dragon Gate and reach the sky in one step? What an idiot.
"
Every word was like a sharp sword piercing Li Er's heart. His eyes were immediately bloodshot, like a blood-stained devil, glaring at these people fiercely.
"I will definitely get through, and I will definitely fulfill my brother's wish." Li Er breathed heavily and murmured to himself.
Not far away, stood a middle-aged man with black hair, a mustache, and small gold-rimmed glasses. He was the staff member Sun Yan met when he signed up at Wandaoshan.
At this time, one of the students shouted: "Assistant Du, this kid is stubborn and stubborn. He doesn't know how to quit even though he is in this position. What do you think we should do?"
Looking at Li Er who was covered in blood, the middle-aged man who was called Assistant Professor Du sighed and said: "Li Er, you should know by now that it is impossible for you to pass the 'Leaping Dragon Gate' test."
I did it. Your brother Li Shengbei defeated 24 Qianlong Academy students in a row, and finally died of exhaustion. If you continue, you will not be able to escape this fate. If you just retreat, the academy will make appropriate arrangements for you.
of."
"No!" Li Er shouted fiercely, "My brother has said before that with his physical training and combat skills, he will definitely become a peerless warrior. I must fulfill my brother's wish, come on!"
Staring at Li Er who was standing firm, Assistant Teacher Du shook his head helplessly and waved his hand, indicating that the trial would continue. Among the group of elite teenagers, a second-year student came out, with a sneer on his face, and walked slowly towards the bloody
Bald boy.
In the distance, in the school buildings around the square, many people were watching this scene.
In a classroom on the seventh floor of a teaching building south of the square, Zhou Zhihao sat on a seat by the window, silently watching the battle in the square. Next to him, stood another student, wearing a school uniform.
The badge shows that this person is a second-year student of Qianlong Academy.
However, judging from his attitude, this second-year student was extremely respectful to Zhou Zhihao, and there was even a hint of flattery in his behavior.
Watching Li Er struggling to defeat another opponent, finally exhausted and half-kneeling on the ground, Zhou Zhihao's handsome baby face showed a look of sympathy.
"Brother Ning, can't we stop the fight now?" Zhou Zhihao whispered.
The young man who was called Brother Ning heard this and smiled bitterly: "Master Zhou, this is the Imperial Wind Academy. In the entire Odin Star Territory, there are not many forces that can interfere with the affairs of the academy. Very few students know about this 'Leaping Dragon Gate' trial.
, however, I still understand some situations. This trial was
It was actually formulated to make those physical training students quit in spite of the difficulties. The academy never thought that anyone would actually come to participate in this trial. Think about it, if you defeat 99 Qianlong Academy students in a row, even if all your opponents are
It’s almost impossible for a first-year freshman.”
Zhou Zhihao frowned slightly and sighed softly: "Even if it is an impossible trial, this Li Er still comes to participate. This kind of courage is worthy of admiration. If it is on the battlefield, he must be an iron-blooded soldier who is willing to die.
.”
"It's a pity that this is not a battlefield after all!" The young man named Brother Ning shook his head helplessly, "The martial arts theory of physical training was originally a wrong idea. The [Strong Ape King Technique] created by the academy was basically a
The combat technique of drinking poison to quench thirst. Excessive
Unexploiting the body's potential has led to a sharp reduction in the lifespan of these physical training students. According to reliable information, half of the original batch of physical training students have shown signs of aging. It was in anticipation of this that the academy immediately
Terminate this martial arts research."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhihao nodded, looking at the bald boy struggling to stand up again in the rain, with a look of regret on his face, and murmured: "If such a strong person dies from exhaustion here,
It's such a pity. I really hope that I can complete the 'Leaping over the Dragon Gate' trial on his behalf."
"No, absolutely not, Mr. Zhou, please don't be impulsive." Brother Ning was immediately shocked and dissuaded him: "'Leaping the Dragon Gate' requires defeating 99 elite students from the Qianlong Academy. This trial was originally formulated.
There is no reason to come out. Furthermore, Mr. Zhou, you have a distinguished status. It would be extremely bad if you meet those people with ulterior motives who have evil intentions towards you. There are dragons and snakes in the Qianlong Courtyard, so be careful.
Don’t take risks!”
"I'm just talking, don't be so nervous." Zhou Zhihao shook his head and said: "If I want to complete the 'Leaping Dragon Gate' trial, it is far from possible with my current strength. If it is a year later,
, I may still have some confidence in being promoted to the second grade."
…
Hua Hua Hua...
Big raindrops fell on the square, and wisps of blood followed the rain, changing from thick to light, and then disappeared.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Li Er tried hard to support his body with his left hand. His right arm was shaking uncontrollably, which was obviously a muscle spasm caused by loss of strength.
Severe pain kept attacking the nerves in his brain. The bald boy's consciousness was blurred, and memories flashed through his mind like a fleeting glance.
"No one is allowed to bully my brother. If anyone dares to do it again, I will fight him to the death!"
"Brother, don't worry. Imperial Wind Academy specially recruited me to enroll. My brother will work hard to practice and vow to become a peerless warrior. No one will dare to bully us again."
"My father, that old guy, always said that we two are useless, useless and not his offspring at all. When I come back again, I, Li Shengbei, will make sure that he takes back these words."
In a trance, the memory was fixed at the age of six, standing at the door covered with bruises, watching the tall and majestic figure go away, looking forward to the bright future in the near future.
However, two years later, what I received was the sad news that my dearest brother had died, and the ruthless ridicule from the people around me.
"You're just a loser, trying to jump over the dragon gate and reach the sky in one step?"
"Trash should look like trash, don't be embarrassed here!"
"Haha, the two brothers have exactly the same physique. They are really two good-for-nothing brothers..."
…
"No, my brother is not wrong! I must fulfill his wish!"
In the heavy rain, the bald boy roared and stood up again. The wounds all over his body burst open and blood spurted out. However, Li Er's figure remained firm and motionless, unwilling to take a step back.
This iron-like perseverance moved everyone present.
Assistant Coach Du sighed silently and said softly: "Knock him out, we can't let him get hurt again."
"Come on." Li Er took a step forward, gritted his teeth, and howled, "Continue, I can fight again!"
However, his steps were staggering. The massive blood loss had reached the limit of his body. His knees gave out and he fell forward.
But at this moment...
A hand came from behind, holding Li Er's arm to support his fallen figure. Then, the person pressed his hands on Li Er a few times, and the light of Yuanli flickered, then stopped in the blink of an eye.
The situation of heavy bleeding.
"Li Er, you rest aside. Let me do the 'Leaping over the Dragon Gate' trial in your place."
Amidst the overwhelming rain, a figure slowly walked out, a young man with fine features and fine features. His expression was as calm as if he were walking in the rain. However, the pace of his progress was extremely steady, so steady that it made your heart tremble.
