Chapter Thirty-Eight It's a blessing to run away when encountering a war of tongues
It took a while for Xie Xin to feel relieved from the heartache.
He finally figured it out. If any great person in history could be accepted as his disciple, then there would be the emergence of the Three Kingdoms in the future?
With his own order, tens of thousands of talented disciples under his command all surrendered to a rubbish prince, and in less than ten years they established an eternal empire, and everything was over.
History always has its own inertia, and if you want to go against the will of nature, you will have to pay a lot of price.
And it cannot be denied that sometimes I want to go against fate, but history makes fun of me instead.
For example, Zhang Mancheng killed so many of them, including his brother. As for the treasures and weapons that he had stored up, he took away all of them.
It can be said that because of his own appearance, Zhang Mancheng's forces became completely impoverished. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was a question of how many troops he could raise, let alone what to arm these troops with.
Despite this, the system still did not prompt Xie Xin to change history, which made Xie Xin wonder whether he had 'obeyed' history instead?
History, which was already off track, got back on track because of his appearance?
No, history has used it as a weapon.
What I have to do at this stage can be summed up in just eight words: concentrate on development and wait for the opportunity.
After I figured it out, I felt a lot more comfortable, and the smile on my face naturally became a lot thicker.
Just seeing the young man in front of them suddenly surprised and then laughing nervously, the four Xun family members present couldn't help but feel a chill.
Even Xun Shuang couldn't help but wonder: "I heard that Xie Xin injured his head in prison and suffered from apathy for a period of time. I wonder if he is suffering from the disease again now?"
Xun Nui shook his head helplessly and said to himself: This young man doesn't seem to be conscious, and he doesn't know if it happened suddenly or if he has always been like this?
If it had always been like this, I would have to wonder if he was the author of those three enlightenment books.
As for Lian Geshota, he subconsciously took a step back for some reason.
Probably sensing the changes in the four of them, Xie Xin suddenly came to his senses and apologized: "I once heard that the eight brothers of the Xun family in Yingchuan were known as the 'Eight Dragons of the Xun family'. I admired them for a long time, and I lost my temper and looked back.
Please forgive me."
"It's just a false reputation, a good nephew doesn't need to be like this." Xun Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: It turns out that he is also a fan of ours!
He and Li Ying had a relationship as if they were biological brothers. Xie Xin was Li Ying's disciple, so naturally he was also a descendant of his nephew. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with calling Xie Xin "nephew" before.
"With great reputation, there is no falsehood. The talents of the two uncles are of course genuine." Seeing Xun Shuang calling himself a wise nephew, Xie Xin naturally hit the snake and followed him on the stick, calling Xun Shuang and Xun Nui uncles.
After some courtesy, Xie Xin also introduced the four people who came with him to Xun Shuang and the others.
When the two girls went to visit, Xun Shuang didn't have much reaction, but he was considered polite. But when the two boys went to visit, Xun Shuang's eyes swept up and down their bodies, as if he wanted to see through their innermost feelings.
generally.
This made Xie Xin doubt whether this old guy would be a good gay friend?
"These two apprentices, my nephew, are indeed very talented. As long as they concentrate on their studies, they may not become important ministers of the Han Dynasty in the future." After a while, Xun Shuang stroked his beard and smiled at Xie Xin.
Hearing this sentence, I was a little happy to express my gratitude at first. But then I thought about it, but my heart skipped a beat.
Is this old guy planning to poach me?
Xie Xin couldn't help but be suspicious.
"I will study seriously under the guidance of the teacher." At this time, Lou Gui came out and said.
With just one sentence, all possibilities were cut off.
After hearing this, Xun Shuang couldn't help but sigh: "In this case, my good nephew should be more careful and don't let such a talent be buried."
Indeed, he also had the intention of poaching just now.
Regardless of Xie Yi or Lou Gui, Xun Shuang, who has some knowledge of fortune-telling, naturally knows that both of them have excellent qualifications. If they can be trained well in Yingchuan, they will definitely become important ministers of the Han Dynasty in the future.
It's just that when Lou Gui was the first to speak, it would seem a bit rude and even a bit offending for him to poke fun at others.
"Master, for the rest of the conversation, it's unnecessary for us to stay here. Why don't we take a tour of the academy first?" Xie Yi immediately came out to mediate.
Lou Gui's words just now were obviously a bit too rude. If the big Xun family were offended, Xie Xin, a little pawn without family protection, might not be able to bear it.
Seeing that Xie Yi had spoken, Xun Shuang ordered Xun You and Xun Yu to act as guides and take Xie Yi and others to visit the academy.
In fact, he also hoped in his heart that after Lou Gui and Xie Yi saw the actual situation of the academy, they would have a high chance of changing their minds.
But what he didn't know was that although Xie Xin's private school was only at the elementary school level, the hidden subjects of cultivating immortals could never be matched by Yingchuan College.
For Lou Gui, who is absolutely dedicated to cultivating immortality, it has nothing to do with him no matter how good Yingchuan Academy is. As for Xie Yi, he will naturally stand by his brother no matter what.
"My dear nephew, with your talent, you don't intend to serve the imperial court and contribute to the great man?" Seeing the group leaving, Xun Shuang sighed slightly and turned to ask the letter of thanks.
At this moment, Xie Xin received a prompt from the system:
"Xun Shuang wants to engage in a verbal battle with you. Should he enter a virtual environment?"
What?
You don't care if you can't recruit anyone, but you actually plan to humiliate me through a war of words?
Xie Xin looked at the prompt and couldn't help but feel Xiaoju tense up slightly.
Seeing that the countdown had begun, Xie Xin had no choice but to enter the virtual environment.
After all, I, a future otaku, have read a lot of books in just one year since I came here, but how to use them is a big problem.
To deal with Xun Shuang, a thousand-year-old monster, he would definitely be completely tortured in reality.
If that's the case, it's better to enter the virtual environment and see if you can win him over.
With Xie Xin's confirmation, he quickly entered the familiar virtual environment.
Not long after, the character attributes of the two people were also revealed:
2=270 Skill: Justification: When the opponent uses an offensive skill, the opponent's skill is ignored; at the same time, the user of the offensive skill is given a backlash equivalent to the damage of the skill. This skill can only be used three times in each verbal battle.
Blessing: None When Xie Xin saw the last item ‘blessing’, he realized that this time it might not be simple.
Sure enough, when Xun Shuang's attributes were revealed, he knew what it meant to be at the thousand-year-old demon level:
(1) Countermeasure: Double the damage caused by the opponent's attack skills and return it to the opponent intact. This skill can only be used three times in each verbal battle.
(2) Cursing: After successful use, the opponent cannot take actions for two rounds. This skill can only be used twice per verbal battle.
(3) Concentration: Defense is dealt with in this round, there is no counterattack skill effect, and the power of the next attack (skill) is doubled. This skill can only be used twice per verbal battle.
Blessing:
(1) Power: Consume 50 skill points and increase attack power by 10 points before the verbal battle ends.
(2) Confusion: Consume 50 skill points and reduce the opponent's defense by 10 points before the verbal battle ends.
(3) Burst: It consumes 100 skill points. When attacking or using attack skills, there is a 10% chance of double the attack. The effect will only appear once in a verbal battle.
Okay, after reading Xun Shuang's attributes, Xie Xin no longer has any thoughts about survival.
In particular, he has discovered that before Xun Shuang announced the start of the verbal war, his skill value had dropped by 350 points, and he had obviously blessed himself with skills four or five times.
Xie Xin couldn't help but look at his own attributes. Sure enough, there was an extra line in the combat power column: When defending, the defense power is reduced by 10 points.
In other words, when you are defending, your original defense power of 30 points will drop to 20 points.
There is also an additional line in the opponent's combat power attribute line: When attacking, the attack power is increased by 20 points.
What does this mean? If you are in a defensive state and the opponent attacks, 38 health points will be deducted from you.
If he happened to use concentration before and received a critical hit in this situation, then the opponent would immediately inflict 152 points of damage to him!
This is even when you are on defense!
What a cheat!
Xie Xin was wailing in his heart, but at this moment, it was completely causing the sky to be unresponsive and the earth to be unresponsive.
"3...2...1...0, the war of words begins."
The system will not wait for the thank you letter to slowly complain, it will soon announce the start of the game.
The countdown starts to appear, and Xie Xin is better at what to use to deal with it the first time.
As time passed, Xie Xin finally played defense, and Xun Shuang also played defense.
In the first round, no one can do anything to anyone and let it go.
In the second round, Xie Xin still used defense, but the opponent launched an attack.
In this round, Xie Xin lost 38 life points.
In the third round, the opponent activated the curse skill, but Xie Xin still defended. For him at this stage, defense is the safest way.
Fortunately, he made the right choice.
Due to the backlash of his skills, Xun Shuang was unable to act for two rounds.
Xie Xin used two rounds of attacks, inflicting 60 points of damage to Xun Shuang.
In the fourth round, Xun Shuang still used 'cursing', but Xie Xin ran away directly.
Suddenly, all illusions disappeared, and Xie Xin returned to reality.
Looking at Xun Shuang's expression, which was holding back a few words but couldn't say anything, Xie Xie felt confident that he would feel as good as he wanted.
The only pity is that you will not get any experience if you escape, and there is no way to increase the verbal battle level.
"My nephew's words are reasonable, but Xun feels deeply sorry to give up." Xun Shuang shook his head and sighed.
The next moment, Xie Xin received another message from the system.
"Xun Shuang wants to engage in a verbal war with you again, because this is the second time today. Do you want to accept it?"
"No!" At this time, only an idiot would accept it.
"My nephew will bear in mind Uncle Shi's concern. It's just that my nephew is not interested in the court, so I hope Uncle Shi will forgive me."
It can be said that this was the first time Xie Xin watched himself reply "unconsciously" from such a close distance.
But if that wasn't the case, he wouldn't know what he was going to say next.
"Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't impose anything on my nephew. When my nephew comes this time, why don't you stay for a few more days so that we can discuss some academic and college management matters?" Seeing Xie Xin, he has already made up his mind.
, Xun Shuang immediately changed the topic.
"Since Uncle Shi has this idea, my nephew should stay for a few more days." The thank you letter was not pretentious.
He also hopes to find a few historical figures with low requirements in Yingchuan and find a way to include them in the gate!
How could you leave this wonderful place so quickly?!
