Volume VII Competitive Competition Chapter Eleven Breaking and Standing
After losing to Baker, Gu Yao's road to this year's Holy Academy competition has come to an end. Although he ended up with a loss of two points and failed to advance, his appearance in just a few games made many people in the school remember him.
, not just because of the toilet door incident, but also the feat of defeating Helian Jian, and two wonderful martial arts skills.
Xia Houjin, Duanmuxi, Dongfang Lu, Duanmuqing, and Carlo are still going strong, advancing at a rate of two or three points per game.
And Helianjian, not long after losing to Gu Yao, unexpectedly lost again to Huajiang Yajing, the daughter of the lord of Ningge City in the southern part of the continent, and also the knight of the knight line mentioned by Carlo.
Although Jiang Yajing is also one of the favorites to win the championship in the academy, and her deep-rooted chivalry spirit makes her somewhat immune to illusions, her strength is ultimately weaker than that of Helian Jian.
Of course, the outcome of the game is related to irresistible factors such as on-the-spot condition and luck, but more people think that it was caused by his unbalanced mentality after the battle with Gu Yao.
In this way, He Lianjian lost one game in the battle, lost one game with Gu Yaozhi, and then lost to Jiang Yajing, and completely lost his qualifications for the competitive competition.
Most people applauded this, because many students were dissatisfied with He Lianjian's arrogance, and the insult to Gu Yao on the court that day made people even more disdainful of his character.
Helianjian was a seed player in the illusion department, but he quit the competition early. Hearing that Deborah, an old witch who had high hopes for him, was furious and scolded him mercilessly. Helianjian was even more embarrassed.
.
Like everyone else in the academy, Gu Yao also pays attention to the news about competitive matches, but every news is learned from other people's mouths or academy reports. Every game he watches, because he stays in the game every day during this period.
In a mansion near the college.
Phillip spent a lot of money to purchase that mansion four months ago in order to facilitate Gu Yao Xiaoyao's third, fourth and ghost steps. After he left, Gu Yao also got a key, and now he has naturally become a senior sister.
Christie's foothold in the sanctuary and the place where he taught ghost steps on behalf of his teacher.
At this moment, Gu Yao is in the middle of the big training ground. The strange thing is that there are two Gu Yao, and then the two Gu Yao turn into three, four, five... Finally, twelve Gu Yao are standing in the training ground.
Everywhere, their faces, bodies, and clothes are exactly the same, but their movements and postures are different.
"Pah, pah..."
With high-fives, a beautiful woman walked in from outside. It was Christie.
Christie praised: "Junior brother, you are really much smarter than I thought.
You actually mastered the Shadow Step so quickly!"
Eleven Gu Yao's figures in the venue gradually blurred, and finally only one remained.
Gu Yao said sheepishly: "That's because you gave me good guidance, senior sister!"
"No need to be modest, haha." Christie smiled slightly: "I was the one who learned the Shadow Step for a month and a half under the personal guidance of my master, but you only used it for twenty days."
Gu Yao is not being too modest. In fact, he is not a genius. All of this is due to the Heavenly Demon Art.
Ever since he started to loose power, his body has been absorbing various elemental factors from space all the time. It has never stopped, and his strength has been increasing rapidly day by day.
In this way, what happened that day should not be the dispersion of gong, but the "break and then establish".
"Broken and then established" is an extremely rare phenomenon in martial arts. A martial artist's cultivation level will decline significantly for a period of time, and then improve at a faster rate.
When some strong people are trapped in a bottleneck, they will continue the momentum in the form of "breaking and then standing up", and then break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and reach new heights. However, this method is limited to those super strong people with great wisdom and wisdom, and they have certain abilities.
In terms of risk, it is easy to "break", but whether it can be "established" is a big question, which is related to various complex factors such as one's own quality and luck.
If it can be broken but not established, it will not be able to improve quickly after the cultivation level is greatly reduced. Therefore, even super strong people with great wisdom need courage and determination to dare to implement it. Usually those who have encountered this problem for several years, or even more than ten years
Only strong people who have been unable to break through the bottleneck for years will consider taking risks.
But I have never heard of an example of "breaking" to the point where there is no power left, or even almost dying, and how to absorb the power on its own after "standing". It is very rare to break and then stand, and this is a kind of
More specifically, it breaks and then stands.
The new power Gu Yao gained was neither Jiuyang Gangqi, nor agility nor freedom.
However, when Gu Yao operates with the mind method of Tianmo Jue, it possesses the characteristics of Nine Yang Gang Qi. If it operates with the agile mind method, it will have the characteristics of agility. If it operates with the free and shadowless mind method, the result will be the same.
The three kinds of Dou Qi seem to be merged together, regardless of each other. It can be said to be agile, Nine Yang Gang Qi or carefree and shadowless.
In any case, the benefits it brings are obvious. While the strength is increasing rapidly day by day, it will be easier to learn anything, so that even Christie couldn't help but praise: "Little junior brother, according to this situation,
I should be able to leave much earlier than expected, haha. Okay, that’s it for today’s footwork practice, now it’s time to learn other things.”
Ghost Step is a broad and profound skill that involves many fields. In addition to the four basic steps such as Wind Step, Reverse Step, Shadow Step, and Lingbo Step, you must also master human visual blind spots, psychology, five elements, and Qi.
It is estimated that no applied skill is more cumbersome than some of the content in auxiliary subjects such as machine traction and so on.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Gu Yao left the mansion and returned to the dormitory.
Opening the door to the living room, Carlo was sitting in a daze.
Although it looks similar on the surface, there is a difference between daze and contemplation. Usually when Carlo is thinking about alchemy, his eyes will move at least occasionally, but now they are completely blank.
Gu Yao felt a little strange: "Hey, third child, what's wrong with you?"
However, Carlo was still very distracted just like Gu Yao who was standing in front of him without seeing him at all.
"Damn, Third Brother, are you possessed by evil spirits?"
Gu Yao waved his palm in front of Carlo several times. Then he woke up as if from a dream: "Ah, second brother, when did you come back?"
"I've been standing in front of you for a long time, and you didn't even notice. What happened?"
"Second brother, I lost today's game!"
"If you lose, you lose. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. What's the point?"
"The problem is, I lost to a woman!"
Gu Yao almost fainted: "Are you decadent because of this? Don't underestimate women, women are also very powerful. According to what you said, wouldn't Dongfang Lu and Jiang Yajing's opponents want to jump off the building?".
"I'm not decadent." Carlo said with a grimace: "The most terrible thing is that I fell in love with that woman!"
"No!" Gu Yao was even more surprised than when he heard that the high priest was streaking in the sanctuary.
"Yes. She is a girl with a lot of personality, with a cold temperament, and every move is very cool. After defeating me, she left the field without saying a word. Ah, I was completely fascinated by her!"
Gu Yao thought it was really funny. He had only heard that women were defeated by men and then conquered by them. He never thought that such a thing would happen to a grown man.
He suppressed a smile and said, "Are you sure you really like her from the bottom of your heart? Isn't it because of her beauty?"
"I am 100% sure that Carlo is a little depressed. "Ever since I came back from the competition with her, I have been so depressed that I don't even want to do the experiment!"
Experiments and research are almost everything in the alchemist's life. He has lost interest in experiments, which proves that the problem is indeed serious. Love is really a wonderful thing. It has easily replaced experiments in Carlo's heart for more than ten years.
important position.
Unexpectedly, even Carlo fell in love at first sight. Gu Yao became a little interested in the girl: "What's her name?"
"Dugu Feng!" When Carlo said these three words, his eyes seemed a little drunk.
"Uh, Dugu Feng?"
Even those who have never heard of this name will not be unfamiliar with her surname, the Dugu family, one of the eight ancient clans.
There are many strong new students in the Holy Academy. Among the eight ancient clans, except for the Xuanyuan family, the Chunyu family, which never allows young people to study in the Holy Academy, and the Zhuge family, which has no descendants of the right age, there are people from the other five major families.
.
He Lianjian, brother and sister Duanmuqing, Xia Houjin, Dongfang Lu, and the last one is Dugu Feng from the Dugu family.
In ancient times, the Dugu family was the weakest among the eight ancient clans. However, after the birth of a genius in the family, the thirty-sixth generation head of the family, Dugu Qiufei, everything changed.
Dugu Qiubai is a strange person who is as famous as Xuanyuan Wudi, the first generation head of the Xuanyuan family. He created the Dugu Nine Swords that are unparalleled in ancient times. Those nine sword techniques are said to encompass the essence of all sword techniques in the world. Although it is a simple nine postures, it can
Evolved into endless tricks.
The members of the Dugu family, in addition to practicing their own fighting spirit, also study the Dugu Nine Swordsmanship. The nine-style swordsmanship is enough for them to spend a lifetime learning.
The Dugu family's obsession with swordsmanship is just like the alchemist's attitude towards experiments, as they regard it as life-like. For them, swordsmanship is no longer just a skill, it has risen to the level of "Tao"
.
I wonder if it was the biggest common ground between the two parties that made Dugu Feng deeply attracted to Carlo.
"I'm done, completely done!" Carlo said with a sad face: "I keep thinking about her and can't even continue the experiment. What's the point of my life? I might as well die!"
"Second brother, please don't commit suicide!" Gu Yao hurriedly offered words of comfort: "Life is precious. No matter what happens, there is a way to solve it."
Carlo thought for a while: "In this case, I will confess to her immediately!"
After saying this, Carlo ran out of the door without waiting for Gu Yao to say anything.
"Third brother, it's so late. Dugu Feng should go back to the dormitory. Why would the administrator at the gate of the girls' dormitory let you in? We'll talk about it later!"
Carlo said from a distance: "Don't worry, I have my own way."
It is not easy for a guy like the Alchemist, who has countless weird gadgets on his body, to sneak through the door of the girls' dormitory. Gu Yao also knows very well that the only reason to stop Carlo is to prevent him from being hit.
His acquaintance with Dugu Feng was limited to competitions. Based on this one-sided relationship, how could anyone like him? Even if they had a crush on him, it would be too sudden to express their feelings as soon as they thought about it.
Moreover, Dugu Feng inherited the family's focus on swordsmanship, even more than her predecessors. She devoted all her energy to swordsmanship and had no interest in men. There was even a rumor in the academy.
There is such an exaggerated rumor: Dugufeng would rather masturbate with a long sword than find a boyfriend.
Therefore, Carlo's rejection should be a certainty and there is no doubt about it. Gu Yao knew that the third child was a simple person, and was very worried that he would be hit by this and become depressed.
After a while, Carlo ran back again: "She refused! She only said one sentence: She said she had no interest in men weaker than herself!"
As expected, Carlo, who has good sex, was not depressed by this. Instead, his mood calmed down: "What a girl with personality, I like her even more! It's good to know the answer. From today on, I will work harder,
Be more attentive, and one day I will be better than her, and then I will be qualified to be her boyfriend!"
After saying that, he walked into his room, needless to say, to conduct experiments.
Carlo didn't sink because of the blow. On the contrary, he used it as motivation. Gu Yao was happy for him but also secretly sighed.
At least Lao San dared to confess his love and still retained hope after being rejected, but what about himself?
