Li Changan walked feebly to the ninth floor, and kept trying to use the Dragon Elephant Breathing Technique, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Even the simplest walk can make you feel suffocated and dizzy.
"How can this be something that people can learn? It's so strenuous to walk, but you have to run up the mountain tomorrow?"
Li Changan felt that his eyes were pitch black and he couldn't see any light.
Seeing his appearance, Annan was surprised and said, "After five days of training at home, why do you still look like you are dying? You shouldn't."
Zhou Ziyu also approached suspiciously, "There is plenty of energy and blood. It doesn't look like he is still injured, but he looks like he can't breathe."
Li Changan tried his best to straighten his back so that he could breathe more smoothly.
Annan looked Li Changan up and down, and finally turned his head, recalling in his mind the instructions of the family elders to investigate Taibai's identity clearly.
But he was temporarily put off.
Although the law of silence is overbearing, it is not unbreakable as long as a sufficient price is paid.
Annan didn't know that part of the reason for his prevarication was due to the law of silence...
"You didn't come this morning, and the deputy director sent down the news that the Dragon Gate Competition in April has been postponed to mid-June."
Zhou Ziyu said,
"And the scope of the competition has been expanded to include six arts, literary fighting, legal fighting, and martial arts, a total of nine items."
"This time it's not just a matter for the main hospital in Beijing, but branches from all over the country can sign up to participate."
"Once you get the ranking, the rewards are unimaginable. Even sacred texts are given out as rewards."
Just as Li Changan wanted to speak, his breathing became uneasy again. He held it in for a while before asking, "What is the Dragon Gate Competition?"
"Those guys from the Capital General Hospital don't stop and have a fight every year. This is how they came up with the competition. I just don't know why it made such a big fuss this time."
Annan was leaning against the back of the chair, unaware that his posture gave Li Changan the illusion of a beauty lying on her side.
Li Changan felt that ever since he learned the breathing method, he had to worry about suffocation at any time. He looked away and said, "What does this have to do with us?"
"There are so many powerful people in the academy, it's impossible for us to have our turn."
"That's not necessarily the case." Annan came closer, the fragrance was fragrant, "You can go to the Literary Competition."
"Don't be ridiculous, if I go to participate, wouldn't it be equivalent to self-reporting my identity?" Li Changan shook his head quickly, "Wen Dou is a poetry competition, what is Fa Dou?"
Zhou Ziyu explained,
"Grammar fighting, that is, fighting between literati. If we have the chance, we must take a look. The scribes have various fighting methods, which are incomparable to the martial arts."
"It's a pity that those who can compete in the Dharma Fighting Competition are at least seventh-grade scribes, so there's nothing wrong with us."
Annan smiled and said, "You can participate in the martial arts competition."
Zhou Ziyu crossed his arms, his face full of resistance,
"I don't want my life? Although the academy is dominated by scribes, there are also powerful warriors. Every warrior who can stay in the academy is terrifyingly strong."
Li Changan asked curiously, "Will anyone die in the Dragon Gate Competition?"
"That's not possible, but everything has an accident, right?" Zhou Ziyu curled her lips, seeming to think of something, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Warriors, in particular, understand the body beyond imagination. Even if they don't hurt the opponent's life, they can make life worse than death even if they use a little secret skill."
"The four major academies and the Imperial College are all in competition with each other. Our White Deer Academy, in particular, is a thorn in the side of the other academies, so it is particularly targeted."
"Ordinary competitions don't matter. If you lose, you will lose face. But when it comes to combat competitions such as legal battles and martial arts, your life will be in danger if you lose."
Li Changan frowned when he heard this.
The situation at White Deer Academy is a little bad, and it is infinitely different from the scenery I imagined.
Being targeted by the other four companies, there is no need to think that there must be some secret that you don't know.
Moreover, life at White Deer Academy is definitely not as good as it seems.
Familiar with various historical military books.
Li Changan knew all the twists and turns inside.
Suddenly, Li Changan was shocked, no, then his identity as Taibai, wouldn't it be more difficult than imagined?
What a shameful crime!
The momentum of this Dragon Gate Competition far exceeds previous ones.
The rewards include various cultural treasures, military weapons, cultural and martial arts, as well as natural and earthly treasures. Just listening to them makes people's hearts tremble.
Even the saint's literary spirit and holy texts were brought out.
And there are so many
Li Changan even wondered whether this Dragon Gate Competition had emptied a bamboo mountain treasure house.
Not only are the top players in the competition rewarded with huge rewards, but anyone who achieves a ranking will also receive valuable rewards.
Is this still the Dragon Gate Competition?
It’s simply a treasure-giving event.
"Have there been such exaggerated rewards in the Dragon Gate Competition in the past?" Li Changan asked Annan beside him.
Annan shook his head, "I've never heard of it. This time, it's so big that it's boundless."
"The literary spirit and sacred writings of saints are the real treasures. In the past, they were unimaginable. Anyone who has a relationship with a saint is of immeasurable value."
Li Changan shrugged. It would be a lie to say that he had no thoughts in his mind, but he always felt that something was wrong here.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"I'll just follow and take a look then."
"Not participating?"
"No idea." Li Changan shook his head decisively.
Annan also knew Li Changan's concerns, and suddenly thought of something, "Didn't you say you wanted to treat us to a nice drink? Why has there been no movement?"
"You should be able to drink it this month. Don't worry, I didn't forget it." Li Changan was talking about Erguotou.
Wangfuji is already preparing for its first store in Juncheng.
Qian Zuozhuang also met with Uncle Zhang, but he was a little dissatisfied with the proportion he could get, so he invested 60% and occupied 30% of the store.
Moreover, it is still a proportion of a single store. If you want to continue to hold shares in other stores, you must negotiate with each store, because some places do not accept money from outsiders.
Qian Zuozhuang also knew that the core formula of Wangfuji could not be leaked, but the conditions of Wangfuji were too harsh.
It's definitely possible to make money by following along, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make any decisions.
Regardless of whether Qian Zuozhuang accepts this condition or not, the first Wangfuji store will definitely open in April.
Li Changan planned to treat Annan and Zhou Ziyu to a nice meal at that time.
Although the cooperation with Wangfuji has not yet begun, Qian Zhuangzhuang is not ambiguous, and the path for Rouge Gouache has been laid.
Li Changan planned to wait for Wangfuji to open before opening the store for his sister-in-law and younger sister.
Since I talked about this last time, my sister-in-law's enthusiasm for rouge and gouache has never been higher. She seems to have found a new goal, and she drags Li Chang'an to discuss the details every day.
If we open the shop as soon as possible, my sister-in-law and little sister will definitely be very happy.
After the academy has paid off,
Li Changan disguised himself as Qinglian and walked into Cong Bookstore.
When the shopkeeper saw Qinglian, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took three steps in succession and stepped forward to greet her. "Young master, you are here. Please come in quickly."
An almost invisible smile appeared on the corner of Li Changan's mouth. It seemed that there was good news for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Introducing Li Chang'an into the backyard, the shopkeeper carefully held a wooden box and said to Li Chang'an, "Sir, this is the telegraph talisman given to you by the headquarters bookstore."
"It's the same as the communication talisman in a small store. You can directly contact the bookstore manager."
"If you have any questions, you can talk to the bookstore manager directly without having to go through the store again."
"When signing the deed, you still need to come to the store to sign."
Li Changan was not very clear about the meaning of the sound transmission talisman, so he took it over and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper hesitated to speak, and finally clasped his fists respectfully, "Young Master and the manager will talk to you first, and then you can just call me over."
"Excuse me, shopkeeper." Li Changan nodded.
The bookstore owner left the room and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
That was the sound transmission talisman, and he took it so calmly.
As expected of Qinglian, her magnanimity is truly extraordinary.
