"By the way, Aunt Qiu, is there any news about Jin Yan?" Ling Xiao suddenly remembered Jin Yan, whom he had been thinking about, and turned to Qiu Shuikui and asked.
Qiu Shuikui shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face: "No. Although I tried my best to find out, the situation after Jin Yan joined the Tianxiahui is indeed very mysterious. I heard that he was personally picked up by the headmaster of the Tianxiahui
, since then, no one has seen him again.”
Ling Xiao frowned, feeling worried in his heart. Jin Yan was his friend and his comrade-in-arms.
They have experienced countless life and death tests together and have a deep friendship with each other. Now that Jin Yan suddenly disappeared, he felt very uneasy.
"Aunt Qiu, please help me find out more about Jin Yan." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "No matter what, I will find him."
"Actually, you don't have to be so worried." Ling Xiao looked at Qiu Shuikui and said comfortingly, "I heard that there is indeed a mysterious 'secret courtyard' above the upper courtyard."
"It is a place that is not announced to the public. Even the top talents in the Southern Region's talent rankings cannot peek into them. But what I can be sure of is that there are indeed talents in the Secret Academy, and they are all those who are formidable.
'Monster level' exists."
Qiu Shuikui nodded slightly, with a thoughtful light in his eyes: "I speculate that Jin Yan probably entered this secret courtyard. Think about it, he was only sixteen years old when he joined the Tianxiahui, but he has already entered the world of chaos.
At the peak of the Yuan realm, this kind of talent is simply astonishing."
"What's more, he is a fusion of the Golden Crow and the Devouring Demon Platform. His innate conditions are far superior to those of ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to call him an 'innate monster'."
Ling Xiao nodded, with a look of approval on his face: "You are right. Jin Yan's talent is indeed beyond the reach of those of us. Even monsters like Ling Bi and Wei Wei cannot compare with him.
"
"Even Meng Haoqing, although he has received the inheritance of the ancient black bear, is inferior to Jin Yan."
Speaking of this, a trace of regret flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes: "Jin Yan is indeed special, very special. His talent and strength are enough to allow him to go further on the road to martial arts."
"Unfortunately, there is still no news about the other one of our three brothers, Long Chen. If he can show up, our three brothers can be reunited. What a wonderful thing it would be."
Ling Xiao's words were full of thoughts and expectations for his brothers. The three of them have experienced many ups and downs along the way and have a deep friendship with each other.
Now, Jin Yan may have entered the secret courtyard, and Ling Xiao is also looking forward to one day meeting Long Chen again and fighting side by side again.
"I will naturally continue to investigate Jin Yan's matter in depth. However, young master, since Ou Luan dares to issue a declaration of war to you, he must have some strength." Qiu Shuikui frowned slightly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
share worries.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao waved his hands gently, with a nonchalant look on his face. "He? Don't take it to heart." He said lightly, with a calm and unhurried confidence in his voice. For Ling Xiao,
The duel with Ou Luan was like an adult playing with a child. He did not despise Ou Luan, but he had absolute confidence in himself.
"Although Ou Luan is fifth in the Upper House, in my eyes, he is not enough to be my opponent." Ling Xiao continued, "My only hope now is that he will not disappoint me too much and let me see what he has learned."
What does the so-called 'monster' look like?"
There was a trace of expectation in his words, as if he was even more looking forward to getting some inspiration and growth from the upcoming battle.
"Young Master, you can't take it lightly." Seeing this, Qiu Shuikui couldn't help but smile bitterly and reminded, "That's the fifth in the upper house, and his strength should not be underestimated. Although you are extremely talented, the battle can change rapidly.
Small mistakes can lead to failure. Arrogance is a taboo."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded slightly to show his understanding. He looked at Qiu Shuikui with a smile and said: "Aunt Qiu, don't worry, I will never underestimate the enemy in battle. But there is no need to make myself very nervous, that way
On the contrary, it will affect my performance. I will face this battle in the best condition, and no matter what the result is, I will go all out."
"Well, since you have already made a decision, let it be as you wish." Qiu Shuikui sighed softly, her thoughts drifting back to those days in Northern Xinjiang.
There, she witnessed Ling Xiao's calmness and tenacity. Faced with all kinds of difficulties and challenges, he could always maintain a normal heart. This made her sigh that this young man might not really need her to worry too much.
.
Recalling Ling Xiao's performance in the crisis, Qiu Shuikui couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Ling Xiao's calm and calm demeanor was simply not what a seventeen-year-old boy could possess. His psychological quality was so strong
, even making many adults feel ashamed.
"Oh, by the way!" Qiu Shuikui suddenly remembered something. She raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao with a trace of apology on her face, "It seems that the date of Nao Luan's fight is today, and I actually forgot to remind you."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao had a helpless smile on his face. "Aunt Qiu, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I were late, others would say that I was deliberately putting on airs and showing off." He said,
He quickly stood up and prepared to set off.
Looking at Ling Xiao's eager and determined back, Qiu Shuikui's heart was filled with relief. She knew that this young master not only had extraordinary talent and strength, but also had a heart that moved forward bravely and was not afraid of challenges.
No matter what difficulties and challenges she may encounter in the future, she believes that Ling Xiao will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve more brilliant achievements with her own efforts and wisdom.
The Stage of Life and Death, this circular arena suspended at the highest point of the Upper Court, is the most special and conspicuous existence in the Tianxiahui.
It is like a bright pearl embedded in the blue sky, and its unique design and location indicate its extraordinaryness.
The life and death platform is not an ordinary thing. Its surface is inlaid with strange runes and exudes a faint light, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.
Of course, the life and death platform is not used for life and death battles at all times. In daily life, it also serves as a place for disciples to practice martial arts and exchange experiences. However, whenever a life and death battle comes, the life and death platform will show its true meaning.
The majesty and terror.
The battle of life and death, as the name suggests, is a battle of life and death. The winner lives and the loser dies. There is no retreat or compromise.
Today, a wonderful duel will be staged on the stage of life and death. This duel not only attracted many disciples from the Upper House and the Lower House to watch the battle, but also attracted the presence of the four masters.
They stood on a high platform in the distance, their eyes like torches, watching everything on the platform of life and death.
