Chapter 46: Big Competition News
Gu Tianxiao hurriedly looked inside. After a moment, he let out a long sigh. Fortunately, Yuanyang's body was not broken. But why was that dream so real? Although he couldn't see the appearance of the woman in the dream clearly, the beautiful touch was still savored in his heart. He didn't realize that he could act.
Tianxiao looked outside the stone house. It was already bright, and she should have been sleeping for a while, but the woman and Xiu'er were not in the house.
Seeing that he could get up, Gu Tian smiled bitterly. If he had wanted to harm him in his situation before, he might have been cut into pieces. He checked his belongings and there were quite a few things. Seeing that it was almost time for class in the academy, he took out an advanced healing talisman from the spiritual ring. His meridians were still seriously damaged, and his body wounds were shocking. If he went to the academy, he would definitely be noticed with clues.
Gu Tianxiao used a little spiritual power that he had finally recovered and activated this high-level talisman worth five thousand gold spirit crystals. The talisman shone with green light, and the sealed advanced healing spell moistened his whole body. Soon, he felt his meridians gradually recovered, and seemed to become more tougher, and the injuries on his body also improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Such a spiritual talisman is different from before the Spiritual Desolation. Each one is different. The one in his hand requires him to use his spiritual power to use his talisman operation tips, but he cannot use it when he has demonic energy. However, today's spiritual talismans are all disposable consumables, which is not as good as the old talismans that can be reused in the past.
However, the talismans are really powerful now. Gu Tianxiao sighed in his heart. Although he may not be able to buy such healing talismans even in the black market, he only has one. But he doesn’t want any more surprises. The feeling of being a slaughter and being a fish is so bad.
He wanted to go to the woman to thank the Xiu'er, but found that there was no figure. He thought for a while and left some spiritual crystals and a spiritual bracelet on the stone table, leaving a letter to express his gratitude. No matter what, without this woman, he would die miserably.
Gu Tianxiao quickly raised the breeze and left the ruins.
After a moment, two phantoms appeared in the originally empty stone house, gradually condensed into substance. One was the woman just now, while the other was a beautiful thin woman.
"The Blue Slave congratulates the Lord on his real body." The woman said respectfully on her knees.
The beautiful woman was wearing only a silk gauze, and her delicate figure was full of grace, but her expression was a little flashing. She slowly walked forward two steps, but her steps were a little staggering. The woman sighed and said, "This time it's really a pie that fell from the sky... It's a pity... it's only a little bit."
The mysterious woman looked at her body, stroked the faint traces on her neck, and then said self-deprecatingly: "Haha, Luo Yin Qianyu, can you watch me endure humiliation and live in silence for so many years? I wonder if you ever thought that he would fall into my hands today?"
The mysterious woman's figure suddenly changed unpredictably, and finally turned into Xiu'er, a young man with a cross scar.
"What a pity, Tianhuang Locking Sun Formation is indeed cruel enough!"
Xiu'er walked to the stone table and did not get the spirit crystals. Instead, she wore the blue glyphic jade bracelet. Then she walked to the corner of the bed and picked up the bucket. Inside were the dirty bloody clothes that Tianxiao changed, and the white cotton strips with a little blood.
"Lan Nu, bear with it for another year and continue to reveal his whereabouts to those who want to deal with him." Xiu'er walked out of the stone house with a bucket.
“Yes, master.”

Because of his lack of spiritual power, Gu Tianxiao was unable to run quickly with the wind. During his safety period, he did not walk on the dark path this time, but followed the official road all the way.
There are many patrol law enforcement monks in the monk area. I guess they are searching for the black monster and him. In order to avoid trouble, Gu Tianxiao entered the mortal town, but in this way, he had to circle around.
To enter the mortal town of Chibi City, you need the official road guide of the Great Wu Dynasty, or you can spend money directly on the city wall. As long as you are a mortal with a clear origin, you will generally let it go.
Gu Tianxiao's spiritual power is still slowly recovering. He threw a ingot of gold directly at the top of the city and entered the city. The guards at the city gate smiled brilliantly.
As expected, he would not be able to catch up with the school class time, Tian Xiao simply slowed down. However, walking slowly also had benefits. He watched the scenery that was usually different along the way. Those hard-working mortals were busy with various farm work and work, and in private schools in the countryside, the children were shaking their heads and reciting the books of sages.
He passed by the streets of mortals and bought a whole basket of candied haws on a whim. After the old man sold candied haws took a ingot of gold, he was stunned for a while, and then he knelt down and kowtowed. Passersby next to him who didn't know the truth kowtows were kneeling towards a young man in a gorgeous costume, and they all kowtowed, which made Tianxiao feel speechless.
The mortal neighborhoods are not as simple as those in the central neighborhood of Chibi City. The houses are relatively simple, and the shops are small, but the vendors shout and hawking are more lively than the inner city. Under Gu Tianxiao's consciousness, he also saw those things that steal and bully good and fear evil. Most of the yamen runners turned a blind eye, but some gangsters would stand up to help.
However, most mortals' lives are the same. Tianxiao found that there is no difference from a few years ago. Except for changing a few faces, most of them run between two points and one line in a fixed pattern. The savings of these mortals' life may not be as good as their consumption of a random spiritual meal.
There are also law enforcement monks patrolling in the mortal area. They are like kings here. The old man who sold candied haws just now should have seen the wind and rain. He probably saw his identity as a monk. Gu Tianxiao didn't want to delay here for too long, so he hired a carriage to drive directly to the central town at the street station. He saw that some spiritual tools were already in use in mortal towns. For example, the carriage he was riding in, although it could be completely driven by spirit stones than the inner city's psychic carriage, but the wheel bearings were also improved. The carriage that originally needed two horses to pull now only needs one horse, and it is faster.
Take a leisurely nap in the carriage, and when you arrive at the inner city, you can take the psychic carriage and quickly arrive at the academy. Gu Tianxiao thought that in the future, Gu Xiangzhai could create some low-altitude spiritual swords specially used for traveling. On the one hand, it can reduce the cost of the material, and on the other hand, it is actually very practical. Although it is not as convenient as the wind control technique, it is better to not waste spiritual power.
When Gu Tianxiao returned to Donghai Academy, it had already passed his lunch break. He ate some casually at a stall on the street and then came directly to the Tianshu Association.
There are many courses in the academy. In addition to the compulsory psychic theory, other arithmetics, Confucianism, etc. are elective courses. Moreover, the academy values practice, encourages organizational activities for association, and regularly publishes tasks to explore secret realms or relics.
Psychological theory courses are only available for odd days, even days are association activities, and one day is rest time.
At this time, the furniture and decorations in the association were completely renewed, but the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Changsun Shuyao has returned, and the room is dressed like a zoo... It is probably her work. I guess she went to do some of these outfits last night. Now I feel tired and dozed off on the big bear skin table.
Shunzi lay lazily on the newly purchased tiger skin couch, staring blankly outside the window, and seemed to be muttering, "What's on the pirate ship?" The bullshit hexagrams are all lie...
Ami... was wearing a maid's uniform with white edges and black backgrounds, staring at the goldfish in the fish tank, and occasionally leaking water.
Xia Shuyi looked down and sat down on the kangaroo seat silently. Tiezhu's incident must have affected her. Tianxiao heard that the five of them were childhood sweethearts who played together, but outsiders didn't have much to say about this kind of thing, and they had to rely on time to digest it.
"Cough." Gu Tianxiao coughed lightly.
"Meow Meow Meow Meow, the master is finally here." Ami felt the most sensitive and rushed over quickly to rub Tianxiao's clothes. The other people also looked up at the door.
"Shu Yao, you are so efficient. I'll sleep in. This is all done," Gu Tianxiao walked into the room, looked at the layout, then took out the candied haws and handed them to Ami and said, "Give it, it's delicious, everyone will divide it into a few strings."
"Okay meow!" Ami bit two skewers in one bite, "Delicious meow! Meow! Meow! Meow! Woo woo!"
Xia Shuyi took the candied haws handed by Ami, and was a little surprised. She smiled and then lowered her head and tasted them slowly.
"You'll be so drunk that you'll be over." Changsun Shuyao was a little dissatisfied, and took the candied haws and bit them and chewed them.
"Captain, you finally arrived. The notice of this academy competition has been sent in the morning. Do you think there is hope for us to form an association?" Shunzi sat up from the sofa and threw a leaflet at Gu Tianxiao.
"Academy competition..." Gu Tianxiao took the flyer and looked at it.
The Academy Competition is a grand event that the entire Zhongzhou nine academies have participated. The first official competition is in the next academic year. But from now on, each academies will start the preliminary competition to decide who will be the official competition next year.
In the official competition, each academy has twelve groups of participating places, with a total of 108 groups. The leaflet says that the contestants of the academy competition use the self-organized associations of the academy as the unit, and each academy selects twelve groups of associations from their respective nine branches.
The Academy Competition suddenly took the association as a unit, which was indeed beyond the expectations of too many people. The highest honor was Zhongzhou's first association. After graduation, Zhongzhou Alliance will recognize the organizational form of association and be valued by Zhongzhou Alliance. Moreover, the prizes of this Academy Competition are actually the latest Lingkong battleship. Of course, the Academy Competition also set up individual awards, and will eventually calculate various rankings from Tianji Monument based on its performance and announce them to the world.
But in this way, the layout of the Zhongzhou Alliance is intriguing. After all, the members of the association are not necessarily from the same dynasty or the same sect, but it can also be the case. Moreover, the distribution of interests obviously undermines the monopoly form of the dynasty sect, allowing more participants to make profits from it. This kind of work that cuts off the source of the fire but no one can find fault with it makes Gu Tianxiao, who has always complained about the Zhongzhou Alliance, admires his methods.
The Academy Competition is also divided into literary and martial arts competition. The literary and martial arts competition is not about writing poetry, painting and writing articles, but about showing the technology of association in the field of spiritual energy. It can be a finished spiritual tool or a formed theory. The martial arts competition is a traditional martial arts competition with a four-win system in seven games, which shows that the overall strength of association is quite high.
The first day of Donghai Academy was too exciting. In the early morning, there was a monster falling from the sky, and in the middle of the game, there was an accident that caused the students to harm them. At night, there was a high-level monster making a big fuss about the city lord's mansion to kill students. The word "war" seemed to have gradually become a daily term. At this time, the academy officially released the news of the competition, which pointed out the direction for the fearful and uneasy students to truly strive.
