There is still some time before the next round of competition, and Xing Nan has no plans to participate in the next round.
He is not a genuine representative of Piaoyun Academy. The next round of competition for the top three seats among the heroes of the Four Nations is based on everyone's voluntary registration. Not all representatives are required to participate. Xing Nan has no idea of becoming famous because of it, so he is safe
His hotel waiting room is still the best choice.
The morning after returning from the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, everyone had a rest and felt much better.
Princess Yunshang called everyone to her and Duan Zhirou's room, even Xing Nan was no exception.
"Everyone was very tired when they came back yesterday, and there were some things that we didn't talk about. Let's summarize them today." Princess Yunshang asked everyone to sit down, and looked serious.
"It doesn't seem like I have anything to do. There are a lot of guests down there, and Brother Le can't handle it all by himself. How about I go down and help first?" Xing Nan answered immediately.
"Brother Xing, with your ability, it's really unfair to be a waiter here." Duan Zhirou said.
"Brother Xing is considered a rare genius even in Piaoyun College." Tang Lei also said sincerely.
Duan Rui didn't say anything. Although he was very unconvinced, the facts did not allow him to quibble any more.
"Haha, it's quite nice here." Xing Nan smiled slightly and said perfunctorily.
"Don't underestimate this inn."
If Princess Yunshang's words meant anything, she didn't make it too clear, but then asked Xing Nan: "Brother Xing, aren't you going to participate in the next round of competition?"
"I won't participate. With my little ability, how can I dare to compete with the heroes of the four countries?" Xing Nan said modestly.
"If Brother Xing doesn't participate, the next round of competition will definitely be overshadowed." Duan Zhirou seemed to have great confidence in Xing Nan.
"The top three players in the next round of competition will all receive very generous rewards. Among them, the first place will not only receive 100,000 top-quality spiritual stones, but also a Tongxuan-level spiritual embryo pill."
Princess Yunshang looked at everyone who looked expectant, and then said: "A Tongxuan level spirit embryo pill can allow a martial artist or swordsman who has reached the ninth level to advance smoothly without risk.
Breaking through to the realm of martial arts or sword spirits can also make the spiritual embryos of monks who have reached the spiritual level more solid and powerful. The most important thing is that the Tongxuan-level spiritual embryo pill is very rare and cannot be refined by an alchemy master.
Don’t come out. You should know that in our entire Piaoyun Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who can reach the level of an alchemy master.”
When Xing Nan heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
However, firstly, he did not have the strength to compete for the first place, and secondly, he did not care about the Spiritual Embryo Pill as much as usual, so he resigned from everyone again and went down to the first floor alone.
Although the technique of transformation is exquisite, it has no offensive power. He does not know the strength of the other heroes of the Three Kingdoms, but he feels that he is no match for Princess Yunshang now.
The so-called spiritual fetus is actually a symbol of a spiritual master.
To advance from the realm of martial artist or swordsman to martial spirit or sword spirit, monks must achieve spiritual fetus in their Dantian. This requires the monks to reserve a lot of true energy or sword energy. When preparing to break through the realm, they must compress it to make it more powerful.
It is solidified and formed, and has the property of storing power and continuing to grow.
Condensing the spiritual fetus is a hurdle that has blocked many monks and masters from taking further steps.
For example, Xing Nan's grandfather Xing Hao, and Luo Biao, the head of the Luo family, have been ninth-level martial arts masters for many years, but have been unable to break through to the spiritual level. There are many, many monks like them.
Below the spiritual level, a hundred years of life is considered longevity; at the spiritual level, if no accidents occur, the lifespan can be doubled, and one can live at least one hundred fifty or sixty years.
Everyone in the world is afraid of death, so breaking through the spiritual level and extending their lifespan is the greatest pursuit of many monks below the spiritual level throughout their lives.
Of course, monks who have reached the spiritual level will also work tirelessly to live longer.
Once you reach the god level, you can live forever! Although this is just a legend and cannot be verified, it also inspires most monks with dreams.
Although Xing Nan has mastered the sword fetus, it is the sword fetus of the Sword-Devouring Art, not the spiritual fetus. The two are very similar, but his sword fetus is far less powerful than the spiritual fetus of a spiritual-level monk.
His cultivation path is different from that of ordinary monks, so his sword fetus is not very comparable to the spiritual fetus of ordinary monks.
The reason why Xing Nan practices hard is for two reasons... First, he will no longer be bullied, live a better life, and try his best to let those who have bullied him know what regret is; second, it is also to live longer, after all, he was in the past
After repeated setbacks, I only have a few years to live. This life span is too short.
"As long as I reach the sword body realm, my physique will be greatly improved, and naturally I won't die in a limited few years!"
When going downstairs, Xing Nan was also full of thoughts.
Business at Kirigakure Inn was good today, at least as it was approaching lunch time, there were only three or four empty tables left in the lobby on the first floor.
The landlady is not in the lobby on the first floor. She must be sitting in her private room enjoying tea at this time.
The master shopkeeper was taking a nap with his chin in his hand as usual.
Lehua was very busy, constantly shuttling between the lobby on the first floor and the kitchen, being called back and forth by the guests in the hall.
Xing Nan was wearing a blue shirt, with a rag on his shoulder, and a smile on his face. He instantly regained his image as an inn waiter.
Everyone is finally curious about Xing Nan's identity.
People who came from Lan Maple City knew that he was the only child of the Xing family, which was already in decline.
Hunters or monks who often came to Kirigakure Inn in the past knew that he was just the waiter of this inn.
But recently, everyone discovered that he is actually an outstanding representative of Piaoyun Academy.
So when Xing Nan appeared, everyone pointed at him and talked about him.
Xing Nan didn't care at all.
No matter what, when the guests who were familiar with him met him again, they were obviously much more polite than before. The slight contempt for the waiter that was hidden in the eyes of those guests now no longer exists, and everyone is more afraid of the Kirigakure Inn.
With a waiter so powerful, it's no wonder that the shopkeeper is so powerful.
Everyone was also curious about whether the scar-faced landlady who rarely appeared in the inn was also a strong person.
…
"You may not know that Xing Nan was originally the direct heir of the Xing family in Lan Maple City, but he came here to work as a waiter in order to live a comfortable life regardless of his family business."
"Before the Xing family was destroyed, Xing Nan took advantage of the fact that he was from a martial arts family. He was extremely arrogant and arrogant, and often bullied the weak neighbors."
"Not to mention the weaklings in Lanfeng City, Xing Nan doesn't even pay attention to the heroes of the Four Kingdoms. I heard him say before that the heroes of the Four Kingdoms are just clowns and are not worth mentioning at all!"
"That's too much. All the heroes of the Four Kingdoms are geniuses. He is so arrogant to say that!"
"If I were a hero from the Four Kingdoms, with their level of cultivation, I would never let that boy Xing Nan have an easy time!"
I don't know why, but there were these voices criticizing Xing Nan mixed in with the noise in the inn.
After a period of practice, Xing Nan has initially mastered some methods of using the soul. His spiritual perception is not bad, and he can also hear these voices.
Definitely deliberate slander!
Xing Nan's first reaction was a little angry, but he was still rational and calm and did not get angry because of it.
Stay restrained!
After some thought, he felt that this was done deliberately. The purpose was not only to maliciously slander, but also to stir up trouble.
After all, Wuyin Inn is an inn, and Xing Nan is just the waiter of this inn. He can't get angry just because others say something about him, otherwise he will be misunderstood as being angry because of being exposed.
The shopkeeper would not throw out the guests who spread rumors because of this, he didn't even blink an eyelid.
It was getting dark, that is, it was dinner time, and there were many guests in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
Xing Nan heard some more rumors about himself. Those rumors were all completely slanderous, and they were obviously deliberately made to highlight Xing Nan's contempt for the heroes of the Four Kingdoms.
Because they were very busy and because there were a lot of heroes from the four countries, the heroes from the four countries all ate in the lobby on the first floor. They also heard the rumors and they all frowned slightly and squinted their eyes from time to time to look at Xing Nan who was waiting in the hall.
At night, the inn closed and Xing Nan went back to his room alone.
What Xing Nan didn't expect was that Princess Yun Shang came to the door again with Duan Zhirou.
Xing Nan's room is still very messy, with all kinds of messy things piled up everywhere, and there is always a strange smell in the small room.
However, this time, Duan Zhirou no longer covered her nose, and her impression of Xing Nan had completely changed.
"Brother Xing, are you sure you don't want to participate in the next round?" Duan Zhirou asked straight to the point.
"You all know how strong I am. I can at best compete with masters at the master level. Arena combat is not suitable for the use of my spells." Xing Nan said seemingly to the point.
"I don't think so. Those spells of yours are very magical and no one else knows about them. If you use them suddenly, it can even make a spiritual master feel troublesome." Princess Yunshang shook her head and said.
It seems that these two beauties are here to persuade me to participate in the next round of competition.
"If I don't participate in the next round of competition, it shouldn't have much impact on Piaoyun Academy. With the strength of Princess Yunshang, she should definitely win the first place." Xing Nan said with confusion.
"Brother Xing's performance in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts has not been seen by everyone, so we want to use the next round of competition to let Brother Xing show off his talents. Only after Brother Xing shows his surprising strength can we introduce him.
Brother Xing entered Piaoyun College, and after graduating from Piaoyun College, he will be more useful." Duan Zhirou said very directly.
"Haha, thank you both for your kindness. Xing Nan has no idea of becoming famous, and he doesn't have too many extravagant hopes for the future. He just wants to live quietly." Xing Nan shook his head and smiled.
Both beauties seemed a little disappointed. They both felt that Xing Nan was a rare talent, so naturally they wanted to win over him.
With such a talent, as the princess of Piaoyun Kingdom, Princess Yunshang naturally hopes that Xing Nan can stay in Piaoyun Kingdom and be used by the royal family.
After the two beauties pondered for a moment, Princess Yunshang suddenly said: "I heard some unfavorable rumors for you today. Those rumors may bring you trouble. You have to deal with them carefully in the future."
