Chapter 385 Eight Years of War
In the small lake, the originally peaceful water surface was suddenly broken, and a whistling sound sounded underwater, gradually approaching the shore. Then, a figure jumped out of the lake and landed steadily on the shore. This figure is a wet boy, with short and medium hair stuck to his scalp, and drops of water dripping from the ends of his hair.
This young man's name is Liu Yang, and he is only twelve years old this year. Although he is young, his facial features are already extremely handsome, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, as if they were carved. His skin was as white as jade, and due to being soaked in the bone-breaking lake water, it now looked even paler and more transparent, as if there was no flaw at all. His handsome nose and thin lips added a heroic air to his face.
Liu Yang's height has reached 1.94 meters, which is unusually tall for his age. His body is quite slender, and his muscle lines are smooth yet powerful, exuding a majestic and vigorous aura. Even the soaked clothes clinging tightly to his body could not hide his perfect body proportions and strong physique.
At this time, Liu Yang was closing his eyes tightly, breathing the air deeply, and seemed to be feeling everything around him. When he opened his eyes, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.
In the past five short months, Liu Yang once again made a surprising breakthrough. He jumped from a one-star beast warrior to a three-star beast warrior. Such a speed of cultivation is rare in the entire cultivation world. Many people are speculating on his secret, but they don't know the reason.
In fact, the reason why Liu Yang's cultivation speed is so amazing is that in addition to his own hard work and talent, there are two important factors.
One is his ability to comprehend the Aotian Xuandian. Aotian Xuandian is an extremely profound practice method, and many people will encounter difficulties and bottlenecks in the process of practice. But Liu Yang was able to understand the essence of it in a short period of time and quickly improve his strength. His understanding of Aotian Xuandian has reached a very high level, which makes him feel like a fish in water during the cultivation process.
Another important factor is Liu Yang's natural keen awareness of wind attributes. Wind attribute skills are not common in the cultivation world, but they are very powerful skills. During his training, Liu Yang discovered his unique talent for wind attributes, so he began to specialize in this field. After continuous research and practice, he successfully mastered many advanced wind attributes skills, which greatly improved his strength again.
Of course, in addition to the above two factors, there is another secret that even Liu Yang himself does not know. That was a mysterious ring he wore in his hand - the Ring of the Blood Demon. He got this ring by chance and has been wearing it on his finger ever since. Liu Yang didn't know the origin and function of this ring, but he could feel that it contained a powerful force. This power seemed to be subtly affecting his body and soul, making his cultivation process smoother.
However, the existence of the Blood Demon Ring did not bring any trouble or negative impact to Liu Yang. On the contrary, he felt that his strength was constantly increasing, and his cultivation speed was getting faster and faster. This made him full of confidence and expectations for his future cultivation path.
At this moment, Liu Yang, standing on the shore, felt the surging power in his body, with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that he had made great progress and achievements, but he did not feel complacent or complacent about it. Because he clearly knows that the road of cultivation is never-ending, and only through continuous efforts and pursuit can we go further, higher and stronger. So he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the turbidity in his heart, his eyes revealing the light of determination and persistence.
In the following days, Liu Yang continued to devote himself to cultivation, constantly challenging himself and breaking through his limits. His strength was also improving at an astonishing speed, which shocked and amazed the entire cultivation world. , many people began to pay attention to this young and mysterious boy. They wanted to know how Liu Yang did all this, but Liu Yang always kept a low profile and mysterious, and never revealed his secrets to anyone. He knew that he still had a long way to go, and he still had a lot of things to do. Things need to be done and many goals need to be achieved, so he cannot stop or let down his guard. He must continue to move forward hard.
The dawn in the sky gradually tore through the curtain of darkness, and wisps of soft morning light shone on the quiet river bank. The river water is blown by the breeze, creating layers of fine ripples, as if whispering of the upcoming bustle and bustle. In this blend of tranquility and peace, a figure quietly stood up from the shore, breaking the tranquility.
He has a tall and straight figure, and his green clothes are dancing in the wind. After getting dressed, he carefully tied the two long swords to his back. The scabbards were engraved with delicate patterns, exuding a sharp sword aura. His movements were gentle and smooth, as if every tiny movement had been carefully calculated without any extra effort.
His eyes were deep and firm, as bright as stars and as unpredictable as the deep sea. In these eyes, there is no confusion or wavering at all, only determination and persistence for the road ahead. Although his face was still a little immature, there was already a faint aura of heroism, like a sword that was just showing its edge.
He left the shore slowly and step by step, each step firm and powerful, as if announcing his arrival to the world. His back gradually faded away in the morning light, leaving a long shadow, as if telling an unfinished legend.
The day after tomorrow will be the selection competition for the eight-year battle between Qingyun Sect and several other sects. This competition is of great significance to Qingyun Sect. It is not only related to the honor and status of the sect, but also a comprehensive test of the strength of the younger generation of disciples. Therefore, the atmosphere within the sect has become tense. The disciples are seizing the time to practice and improve their strength in order to stand out in the selection competition.
He is also included. As a leader among the young generation of Qingyun Sect, he is naturally full of expectations and desires for this selection competition. He knows he has what it takes to compete for one of those five spots, but he also knows the competition will be fierce. Therefore, he did not relax his requirements on himself, but worked harder to practice and prepare.
The rules of this selection competition are very simple and cruel. All participating disciples will have a melee in a specific venue, and the last five people standing on the venue will be qualified to participate in the eight-year battle. The top three will serve as the main selection, while the last two will be substitutes. This means that everyone has to give it their all, because a slight mistake can lead to elimination.
He has a clear understanding of his own strength. He knew that he had considerable attainments in swordsmanship, but he also understood his weaknesses. Therefore, before leaving the shore, he had made a detailed plan and conducted targeted training based on his weaknesses. He believes that as long as he can perform to the level he deserves, he will be able to stand out in the selection competition.
When he returned to Qingyun Sect, he found that the sect was already a bustling scene. The disciples are all busy preparing for the selection competition. Some are honing their weapons, some are adjusting their status, and some are exchanging experiences with each other. He was not idle and immediately threw himself into the final preparations.
Time passed by like running water, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the selection competition. In the early morning of that day, he got up early, washed up, and then came to the competition venue. At this time, many people had gathered on the venue, including participating disciples and spectators from various sects. They were standing, sitting, talking, or closing their eyes, all waiting for the game to start.
He found a relatively quiet place to sit down, and began to close his eyes and relax to adjust his state. He knows that the next game will be very fierce and he must be in the best condition to cope with various challenges. As time passed by, he felt his heartbeat gradually calm down, and his breathing became slower and deeper.
At this moment, a bell broke the silence of the venue, and the selection competition officially began. He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He knows that his moment has arrived, and it depends on his performance. He stood up and stretched his muscles, then pulled out the long sword from behind and held it in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword forward, ready to face the challenge.
With the referee's order, the game officially started. He moved and turned into a green shadow and rushed into the crowd. His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, moving through the crowd like a bolt of lightning. His opponents were no ordinary people, and they all used their own unique skills to try to defeat him. However, he shuttled freely among the crowd like a swimming fish. Not only was he not hit by his opponent, but he also caused trouble for his opponent from time to time.
