Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 313, A Good Opponent
"At that time, I gave up the former prince and chose the new emperor."
"First, because the former prince has become weak, he has formed his own ideas and subjective thoughts, which are difficult to change."
"The second reason is because your Majesty's appearance at that time really seemed to make people feel pity for you."
"Therefore, I made it clear to the late Emperor that I will eventually become your mentor."
"It was September, which is the third autumn. The late emperor thought that I did not want to enter the court to share his worries. Although I replaced him with courtesy, my words were somewhat distant."
"I don't think so. What if you step into the officialdom? What if you don't step into the officialdom?"
"Until later, when you became the new emperor, everything seemed like a dream!"
The great scholar Xu Shi said slowly.
The new emperor could stand out among the princes and finally ascend the throne. This was something that the great scholar Xu Shi did not expect.
He even helped very little!
Because he has nothing to help.
He has little power in the court, and it is difficult for him to influence the powerful ones among the royal elders regarding the selection of the new emperor.
This is the past twenty years between Master Xu and the new emperor. It seems like a long time, but in fact it can be covered with just a few strokes.
Master Xu taught and educated people, but the new emperor summed up other things from the principles of educating people. He even learned about power and imperial strategy from nowhere.
Master Xu has never taught this kind of thing, let alone spoken about it.
It can only be said that some people are born to be emperors.
"Master Xu, this is what I value in you." The new emperor said slowly, "The imperial court has been suffering from problems for a long time. The forces of the officials are intertwined. They seem to be distinct, but in fact they are divided into many factions."
"There are very few people I can use! So at that time, even though I knew you refused, teacher, I asked you to take the post of dean of the Overwatch Council. There was no other reason. I just wanted someone who could help me with things.
"
"Only you hope that I will get better and better. Those officials only want to benefit from me."
Xintei also has its own difficulties.
Once she reaches her position, every move she makes is under the spotlight.
"Then how did you and Lu Jiuzhang get to know each other?"
The new emperor continued to ask.
"Last year, I went to Anxi Prefecture to visit my relatives. I heard a few words on the way. One sentence was - your salary is high, the people are rich and the people are anointed. It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully them. The other sentence is - we, the scholars, should be the equals of heaven and earth.
Establish your mind, establish your destiny for life, carry on the unique teachings for the past saints, and create peace for all generations."
"At that time, I knew that this person was a student and wanted to meet him."
"I never thought that I would see this person in Anxi Academy. His ideas are very different from mine. Many people think that he is wrong, even I think so too."
Master Xu smiled.
The new emperor was puzzled, "Since it is wrong, why should we accept him as a student?"
"No, it seems that he is wrong and I am right. In fact, I am wrong and he is right." Master Xu explained.
The new emperor shook his head, "I don't understand even more!"
Xu Shi said, "I traveled in the mortal world, fell into the mortal world, and was contaminated by the seven emotions and six desires. I have been infiltrated by the mortal world. He was in the mortal world, but he always insisted on his ideas and never flinched."
"A sincere heart is the driving force for his progress."
"Therefore, it is naturally wrong for me to treat my sincere heart with a worldly heart."
The new emperor realized something, nodded slightly, and said no more.
She could see from Master Xu's eyes that although Master Xu and Lu Jiuzhang had only been together for a short time, Lu Jiuzhang was Master Xu's favorite disciple.
Perhaps, the philosophy upheld by this disciple will shine brightly in the future.
It doesn’t matter if one’s martial arts skills reach the heavens, but the concept of a saint will influence the world forever.
This is something a martial artist cannot bring!
…
Demon realm.
The battle begins and Lu Jiuzhang goes all out.
The scene here is being watched by many big shots.
After several battles, Lu Jiuzhang was exhausted.
"Ha! Not a bad opponent!"
Niu Yi couldn't help but praise.
Such an opponent played a role in tempering him.
It will not put his life in danger, and at the same time, it can greatly allow him to display his own magic.
Lu Jiuzhang's spiritual power was exhausted, and the Kuixing Tower in his mind was dim and unclear.
For a time, the vulnerability became even worse.
"Come, let me see what other methods you have!" Niu Yi shouted, "When spiritual power is exhausted, for a warrior, it is the day of death."
"Not really!"
Lu Jiuzhang stared at Niu Yi and shouted sternly, "Fight!"
With an angry shout, Lu Jiuzhang was full of momentum and refused to retreat but advanced.
The evil spirit shot straight into the sky, his veins kept popping out, and his whole body seemed to be one size larger.
The clothes on his upper body were torn apart, revealing his strong muscles.
The whole person looks tall and mighty!
The physical way has a strength of five hundred thousand catties!
At this time, Lu Jiuzhang also looked like a peerless ferocious beast.
With one step, the ground cracked.
"war!"
Lu Jiuzhang shouted angrily and rushed towards Niu Yi.
This is the simplest move and the simplest competition.
The two ferocious beasts collided with each other, and there was no winner.
"How is that possible?"
Niu Yi didn't want to believe that when would the physical strength of human beings be comparable to that of monsters?
A punch and a kick, just like a child fighting, without any rules.
But in the eyes of outsiders, it is a real fight, with life and death thrown away.
The fists and feet hit each other, making a huge roar.
Blood splattered everywhere, one person and one demon were covered in blood.
"drink!"
Lu Jiuzhang took a deep breath and discovered that he was slowly absorbing Niu Yi's blood to temper himself.
At this moment, Lu Jiuzhang understood!
Since it is a method of physical training, when and where cannot it be tempered?
Using his remaining spiritual power, Lu Jiuzhang took out a piece of spiritual grass from the storage ring and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next second, Lu Jiuzhang continued to step forward, constantly attacking Niu Yi's weak points.
The blood continued to spread, and Lu Jiuzhang was bathed in the demon blood.
This is the blood of the Demon Prince's heir, the blood of a fifth-level demon in the Demon Dao!
The tempering degree of this demon blood is far better than anything else.
But at the same time, Lu Jiuzhang also felt heartbreaking pain all over his body.
After an unknown amount of time, he became numb to the pain and didn't feel anything at all.
"kill!"
Lu Jiuzhang punched out and greedily used Niu Yi's blood to temper.
His power is also constantly growing!
Strength of 500,000 jins...Strength of 550,000 jins...Strength of 600,000 jins!
The roles of the two have changed.
Niu Yi lost more and more blood and became weaker and weaker, while Lu Jiuzhang became stronger and stronger.
During the collision, Niu Yi stumbled and fell to the ground.
Lu Jiuzhang took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, hammering Niu Yi's skull crazily with his huge fist.
After hundreds of punches, Niu Yi fainted.
Lu Jiuzhang was still not satisfied, so he took out the Frost Sky Blade and bled Niu Yi.
Then, Lu Jiuzhang was bathed in blood again, polishing his body with the help of spiritual herbs!
With each breath, the blood turned into essence and entered Lu Jiuzhang's body. The remaining impurities turned into light blood, flowing down from Lu Jiuzhang's body surface and dripping on the ground.
