The sky is filled with stars and the night is deep.
On the hillside of the mountain behind the college, a dark demon sword with a strange arc is as agile as a living thing in Xu Lei's palm. Although on the surface it seems to be just the simplest chopping action in the sword technique, if an expert observes carefully.
, you will find that it is far from that simple.
The so-called sword is the king of all weapons, and 80% of its attacks are chopping movements.
The Demon Sword Art is divided into three levels. The exquisiteness of the third level is basically chopping movements, plus some auxiliary movements such as teasing, stabbing, and picking.
But only by practicing it yourself can you appreciate its subtlety. Just the first of the three moves in the first level made Xu Lei feel extremely strenuous.
The subtlety lies in its exquisite subtle changes, which are almost invisible to the naked eye. Only this first change includes nine major changes, and each major change is composed of nine small changes. In other words
, the first form of this demon sword technique is composed of eighty-one subtle changes!
After barely finishing the first move, Xu Lei wiped the big beads of sweat on his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile. Only he knew the difficulty and complexity of it. It seemed that he had to practice step by step, otherwise he would be like this.
Practicing in a hurry for success may not have any effect in the end of your life. Every subtle change in these moves is impeccable. Just a slight mistake will make the entire routine deteriorate and lose its true meaning.
"Let's practice one move at a time!" Xu Lei said to himself with a wry smile. After carefully studying the first move of the first level of the Demon Sword Art, he started practicing from the first big change and gave up completely.
I just started preparing a ridiculous plan to familiarize myself with the Demon Sword Technique in one night.
The direction, angle, strength, timing of sword release, the connection between changes, and the integration of the demon soul power in the body. If there is even the slightest mistake in any of these links, the entire sword technique will become meaningless.
Any success must be a process that is extremely boring and boring. Behind the halo there is always hidden sweat and persistence.
This continent has many powerful people who are famous all over the world. Each of their names is enough to make most people on this continent look up to and envy them, but no one will know what happened before they became famous all over the world.
The failures and countless sweats, as well as the lonely nights one after another, repeated the boring practice process again and again.
Xu Lei slept surprisingly peacefully that night. There was no trace of the joy of obtaining the Demon Sword Art or the worry about the difficulty of practicing it. Just like countless ordinary nights before, Xu Lei knew that he still had a long way to go.
Chang, for him, obtaining the Demon Sword Art means that he will work hard in the future.
Difficult cultivation will become more difficult and complicated. It is not difficult for a person to turn pressure into motivation, but few people can turn sudden good things into pressure and then into motivation. There are very few people who understand this truth and can do it.
Count, and those who persevere will not achieve anything in the end.
It was a quiet night, and the sky was starry. Xu Lei turned over inadvertently after sleeping soundly. He seemed to have dreamed of something, and a childish smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. In his sleep, he saw the woman in green who seemed to know everything.
He did not know how many times he repeated this dream, and every time he would smile like a child.
Early the next morning, after briefly washing up, Xu Lei, Su Mu and others picked up shovels and other tools and reluctantly walked to the "construction site". They could endure no matter how much hardship they suffered on the way to practice, but on the
Working as a coolie on a construction site, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. Especially Su Mu's expression was heavier than visiting a grave. If my father knew that he was working as a migrant worker, he would definitely smile with his beard crooked!
"This kid Li Yan didn't come back all night last night. I don't know where he went to have fun." Su Mu yawned, holding a tattered shovel in his hand as if he hadn't woken up.
"Didn't you ask us to wait for him? He will come back this morning to rebuild the school." Xu Lei looked much better, in high spirits, and seemed to have had a good rest last night.
"If you can believe what he says, a sow can climb a tree!" Ding Xiaodou's expression was similar to that of Su Mu, and he also looked sleepy. He didn't take Li Yan's words to heart at all. This kid always likes to find various ways to be lazy.
There are various reasons to lie. I'm afraid this time I'm probably looking for a place to be lazy again after laying down my bold words. As the eldest sister said, that boy is very "sissy" in life and loves to be clean more than women. Let him do it.
The disgraced migrant workers might as well kill him.
Nalan Buchui and the instructor had already arrived at the scene. When they saw Xu Lei and others, they immediately ordered a few people to continue stirring a pile of sand, as if they didn't take Li Yan's bold words yesterday to heart. Nalan Buchui just
I was thinking that I would have to give him a good deal of treatment when this kid showed up.
Just when Nalan was thinking about a series of ways to punish Li Yan for being lazy, including washing the toilet and taking out feces, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes couldn't help but get wider and wider.
Not only Nalan was right, but Xu Lei and others and many students working there also had the same reaction. They stared in disbelief at the group of people walking in from the school gate.
Li Yan, with his eye-catching red hair and head held high, walked at the front of the group with a look of disgust on his face. Behind him was a luxurious eight-legged sedan, followed by a large group of people.
Strong men lined up neatly with various tools in their hands.
"Good morning, fellow migrant workers!" Li Yan saw Xu Lei and others looking high-spirited, with their backs straight and their hands behind their backs, as if they were big shots inspecting the construction site.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry, I'm late." Li Yan ignored Xu Lei and others who were looking at each other, and wandered around the construction site alone with his hands behind his back, nodding and saying hello to other students working on the construction site one by one.
As if to express condolences to a big shot, after walking around for a while, he walked up to Nalan Bugui, flipped his red hair with pigtails, and said: "Principal Nalan, everyone is tired.
Let them rest, the rest..." Li Yan said, patted his chest a few times, and said boldly: "I will take care of it for you!"
"Li Yan, what tricks are you playing!" Nalan Buqi was obviously confused by Li Yan's behavior.
"I said yesterday that the rebuilding of the school will be left to me. I, Li Yan, have always been a man of my word." Li Yan was not impressed by Nalan's honest response and still looked like a big shot.
Nalan Buhui looked at the team of people brought by Li Yan who were standing not far away. He seemed to understand something and asked with some confusion: "Did you find these people?"
Li Yan nodded and said with a proud smile, "Yes, they are the best and most professional construction team in the entire Qianling City and even the entire Qianling Kingdom. The expansion of the Qianling Kingdom's palace in the past few years was done by this construction team.
The team built it!"
"Where did you find this construction team?" Nalan's eyes widened. He knew about the expansion of the Qianling Kingdom Palace in the past few years. The scale and difficulty were far beyond what could be compared with rebuilding a school.
But it is not easy to hire a construction team like this. The daily salary of an ordinary worker is enough to make him drink a pot.
At this moment, the luxurious sedan parked not far away was put down, and a middle-aged man dressed in extremely luxurious clothes walked out.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Nalan Buchu's eyes began to have countless little golden stars. It was not how this middle-aged man looked, but his outfit. It can be summed up in one sentence, that is, he has seen it before
Rich, I have never seen anyone so rich!
A gown studded with precious stones and gold trim, a jade belt embellished with gold and precious stones, and several shining rings on his fingers. Just picking something from that outfit would probably be enough for an ordinary person.
year!
Rich, absolutely rich, big rich!
This was Xu Lei's first comment when he saw this middle-aged man. He had never seen rich people before, but he had never seen such a flamboyant and luxurious rich man.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my dad!" Li Yan was very satisfied with everyone's expressions and introduced the middle-aged man's identity with pride on his face.
"Dad, these are some of my best friends in school that I often told you before." Li Yan pointed at Xu Lei and others and introduced them.
"Hello, rich uncle!" Xu Lei and others shouted politely.
The middle-aged man nodded and said boldly: "Xiaoyan often mentioned you to me at home. Thank you for taking care of him." As the middle-aged man said, he winked at a servant next to him, and the servant quickly
He took out a brocade box and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"It's your first time meeting you. This is a little gift from your uncle. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Xiaoyan in the future. Xiaoyan has never suffered much since he was a child." The middle-aged man said, opening the brocade box in his hand, "This is
It’s the shining pearl of the East China Sea, one for each person!”
The little hearts of Xu Lei and others were so excited that they almost jumped out of their throats. This is the Pearl of the East China Sea! The value of this one can be exchanged for a sack of gold coins!
"Thank you, uncle!" Ding Xiaodou was drooling, and he couldn't wait to rush towards those few East China Sea luminous pearls. As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Ding Xiaodou is the one who has been in contact with Nalan Buhui for the longest time among everyone.
, his greed for money is no less than that of Nalan Buhui. He usually likes to do some loan sharking. Seeing that he got an East China Sea night pearl for no reason, he couldn't help but like a hungry beast seeing food.
He pounced forward as well.
But someone was more impatient than him. Just when Ding Xiaodou's hand was about to touch the brocade box containing the luminous pearl, he was suddenly snatched away by a somewhat dry hand like lightning.
"Hello, my name is Nalan Buqi. I am the principal of this school and Li Yan's teacher. Our school has strict rules. In order to cultivate the tradition of hardship and simplicity among students, the students' finances are all under the unified custody of the school.
Return them when they leave school."
The person who grabbed the Night Pearl first was naturally the principal Nalan Bukui who regarded wealth as his life. Seeing several valuable Night Pearls in front of him, he would not be Nalan Bukui if he let these little guys take them away.
.
Li Yan's father gave Nalan a good look, nodded, and said: "Well, that's fine. Students should behave like students and not let them develop the habit of extravagance and waste. Usually I treat this child Xiaoyan
He manages money very strictly!"
Nalan smiled happily and said with a smile: "That's right, young people should suffer more." After saying that, his expression changed, he turned to Xu Lei and others and said grimly, "
Do you think so?"
"Yes..." Xu Lei and others shook their heads one by one and said dejectedly, thinking that Ye Mingzhu must have been ruined, and secretly counted this old boy who regarded wealth as his life from head to toe.
After Li Yan's father and Nalan Buqi exchanged pleasantries for a while, the most professional construction team also began to operate. It was worthy of being the construction team that had built the imperial palace. It worked extremely efficiently, and everyone seemed very professional.
He was so professional that he looked at Xu Lei and others for a moment.
With a professional construction team taking over, Xu Lei and others naturally no longer have to work as coolies. After Li Yan's father left, several people immediately surrounded Li Yan.
"Fifth brother, your dad is so cool. What's his name?" Ding Xiaodou said with a look of admiration on Li Yan's father.
"Of course, like a son, like a father, you see how cool I am, so my dad is not much different." Li Yan said with a stern look on his face, "My name is Li Jiacheng.
The wealthiest person in the world, the most valuable city!"
"What! Li Jiacheng is your father!" Ding Xiaodou looked surprised and said with wide eyes, "That's the richest man in Qianling City!"
