Xia Xiao volunteered to come forward after speaking in the crowd. He passed by Ah Zhu, which excited him and made his eyes light up, like seeing a plate of steaming fried duck leg rice when he was hungry. Whether it was the steaming crispy pork skin or the tender meat underneath, it made him drool.
Most of the people present knew Xia Xiao's personality. He was a real sullen guy. He seemed not good at talking and kept many things to himself. But once he opened his mouth, he could make people choke to death, because his questions were often difficult to answer. He was not good at stirring people's emotions with speeches, but Xia Xiao was pretty good at confronting people.
In this world, electronic technology is not developed, and there are no keyboard warriors. Otherwise, how could Xia Xiao be so presumptuous? Others are keyboard warriors, but if he were not born as a keyboard warrior, his words would be as dark as the night. He only needs to repeat what others have said, or learn a few irritating words, to make these guys speechless. Xia Xiao may not have as much knowledge as them, but he is thick-skinned enough.
Xia Xiao has been thick-skinned for a long time, but looking at the person in front of him, he doesn't even have any shame. No matter how fierce he looks, he is just a pitiful person. With a cold face, he passed by Di Muli, and the latter whispered:
"Don't be afraid, if you can't scold me, just hit me!"
Xia Xiao nodded secretly, but there was no way he could not curse. However, they were all people of status, and they could not use foul language, otherwise it would be a derogation. In the conversation between scholars, even if they were hooligans, they had to use words like Dengtuzi instead. But if there were no foul words, Xia Xiao would not be satisfied, and he might curse out of habit.
Walking in front of the two hundred people, Xia Xiao did not salute, nor did he start to question them. He just raised his hands and turned around twice under the gaze of more than five hundred people. This action seemed to show himself completely to everyone, as if without reservation. Although there was no contemptuous gesture, the shameless man always felt that he was provoking.
Seeing his murderous look, Xia Xiao said calmly with his hands behind his back:
"Don't you want to open your eyes? After reading it, do you want to say a few words about your thoughts?"
It started. Everyone stared at Xia Xiao's back and admired his words. Not to mention whether there was any meaning in his words, the courage alone was something that many people did not have. And the confidence in his words was as unshakable as steel, so hard that it was hard to understand.
"He is a good student indeed, as he is not panicking in front of more than 300 people..."
The shameless man changed the subject and was about to say it was a pity, but Xia Xiao interrupted him:
"More than three hundred people?"
Xia Xiao looked back, his eyebrows raised as if he had encountered something surprising. His performance was very natural, as if he was born to be a performer.
The shameless man wanted to use the method of first praising and then criticizing to belittle the college team. Xia Xiao saw through it at a glance and would not let him succeed.
"We are clearly only about 200 people. Oh, yes, there are also you."
The shameless man stared at Xia Xiao. What was he going to do?
"But my teacher told me that if you are afraid of being nervous while giving a speech on stage, then treat the people in the audience as cabbages. Although I am not nervous, you are all rotten cabbages. Oh, no! The leaves on the outside and the core are all rotten. You can't be considered vegetables, but... garbage."
"you……"
"Am I wrong?"
"Humph! How ridiculous! A prestigious academy that claims to be the highest education institution has produced a disciple like you who is so vulgar that you don't even know who is the filth in the bucket?"
"Hey, what's wrong with a disciple like me? From your tone, it seems that you like the academy very much, so why are you against it? Are you too contradictory and looking for trouble, or do you want to save your face and walk the mountainside again? Even if you walk again, you can't get up. But you are right, the academy does have its failures, such as teaching you nondescript and ungrateful people! Compared to you, even if I am a little foul-mouthed, I am still a superior one."
Xia Xiao was quick-witted, and the shameless man tried to interrupt several times, but couldn't get in. Xia Xiao watched and sneered secretly.
If it was just based on his temper, the shameless man would rush forward and fight with Xia Xiao. Why would a cultivator talk so much nonsense when it can be solved with fists? But if they really fight, they will definitely win. Although the cost to the academy will be terrible, the man wants to silence the academy with his quick words.
Only if the academy suffered a double defeat, with not only numerous casualties but also numerous casualties, could the shameless man achieve his goal and die without regrets. Therefore, he said bitterly:
"Superior? What's so special about you? There are so many people here, how can you compare? You only received half a year more of education in the academy than us, but we have experienced thousands of times more than you!"
Xia Xiao stretched out his little finger and picked out the earwax, his face full of disdain. He blew away the long-term accumulation on his fingernail, shook his head, and then replied indifferently:
"You have been in the academy for one year, and I have been in the academy for one and a half years, but I have more than you, not just half a year of education, because if you had listened to the teacher's words, you would not be standing on the opposite side of the academy now, and you would not end up like this. Each of you looks lonely and expressionless, like a fool!"
The appropriate speed and tone of speech can express a person's emotions, Xia Xiao said, and glanced at the more than 300 people. Although they were all dressed decently, the expressions on their faces had already exposed the lack of their spiritual world.
The shameless man was about to refute, but Xia Xiao formed a seal with his hands. His hair was lifted in front of his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face, as if to open their eyes.
“Watch this!”
Combine, fight, combine, front, all, formation, combine, interval.
It only took half a second to form the eight hand seals. When Xia Xiao's fingers were entangled together, the vital energy in his body moved with them.
“This scene is shocking enough.”
Dimuli approached Hu Bugui and spoke quietly. The latter's old face did not move or speak for a long time, as if he no longer had the extra strength. But when four lights flashed in his eyes, he was particularly proud.
Behind Xia Xiao, four spiritual contract spaces were torn open. Their appearance shocked the more than 300 people on the opposite side.
"Four contracted beasts, how is that possible?"
"Could it be that he is the person who came from afar to the academy?"
"The complete five elements are real?"
…
Even for the people in the academy, this was an incredible thing. But they had seen it many times, but it seemed to be the first time they appeared together.
The cracks in the four spiritual contract spaces were large and small, and different sounds came from them.
The first space on the right was the smallest and was quiet for the time being. The second space had the sound of waves, making one feel like standing on the beach, with seawater rushing out and wetting Xia Xiao's feet. The third spiritual contract space was burning with flames, the flames that burned the sky, and when it burned, the air heated up, like an oven. Sparks kept coming out of the crack edge of the spiritual contract space. The fourth spiritual contract had wind and lightning, and silver colors often appeared.
A beast came from the spiritual contract space, and metal cut through the air, making a sharp buzzing sound. The sea water fell to the ground, making a very loud sound of water. The flames and wind, none of them fell.
Among them, Xia Xiao slightly bent his body backwards and was about to sit down. Although there was nothing under his body, vines soon grew into a throne with a metal shell on the outside. The exquisite throne perfectly supported Xia Xiao's body and allowed him to sit down. The seven beasts around his body made Xia Xiao show his emperor's posture for the first time.
This kind of imperial demeanor is not that of an emperor on earth, but rather the confidence displayed after mastering the five elements. There is a temperament revealed in the confidence, which can also be called domineering.
On the right side of the throne, the divine sword was inserted vertically, and the black and purple light was obvious. On the left, the flames of the evil fighting were soaring into the sky, and the heat was rising. Above was Ju Mang, and behind her was Xiao Yu. There were three small fish around her, although they were in different postures, they all had a common center, which was self-evident, Xia Xiao!
Under the multiple halos, long blue fish tails surrounded the throne, and the seven beasts looked at the shameless man. These eyes overlapped with Xia Xiao's, making him frightened. Although the sword has no eyes, the light it emits is the sharpest, even a little creepy, and can cut thousands of people in the world.
The shameless man looked at Xia Xiao and put his hands on the armrests of the throne, as if more than 300 of them could not threaten a young man like him. And the tone of the young man's words was even more arrogant, which made him want to kill him, and he wanted to pull him off the throne and tear him into pieces.
This is the emotion Xia Xiao wanted. He said:
"It's your turn now. Why do you think you can walk up the mountainside?"
The shameless man was speechless when asked. He hesitated for a few words and made up a story:
"Are all people like you?"
"There are others like me!"
A dragon roar pierced the sky, and a black light emerged from the crowd and fell from the sky. When the huge figure sat behind Xia Xiao, the rolling dragon power and the vibration of the ground shocked more than 300 people. The black dragon sat with Xia Xiao as the center, and with its fluctuations, more than 300 people could not even summon their contracted beasts.
The scene was awkward for a moment. The shameless man wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth.
"You don't have strong capital, and you don't have the determination to practice hard, but you still want to climb up the mountainside. What makes you think so?"
"Do you know how hard we worked? Do you know how much effort we put into getting up the mountainside?"
"Xie Yi spent a month in the peach forest to get to the mountainside. Qin Feng and Mu Lin cut their fingers to refresh themselves. There are many people like the former in the academy, and there are also a few of the latter. Compared with them, what are you? Do you think you can get to the mountainside by luck? Without talent to support you, you can only rely on perseverance. If you don't have enough perseverance, you will risk your life. What about you?"
Xia Xiao raised his voice again, and his scolding sounded like a lesson to a disobedient child.
"Among the more than 300 of you, has anyone ever been in the forest for a month? Has anyone ever persisted until the last moment in the twilight, slashing their fingers to show their determination? You blame the academy and the teachers, but have you ever thought about yourselves? You have only used some psychological hints to numb yourselves, but those who really fought hard have all stayed in the academy. You are just useless people who are making trouble for yourself!"
Xia Xiao no longer sat on the throne, although that action was extremely conquering, but he bent his waist, sitting casually but with a straight back. He was waiting for the shameless man to speak, but the latter's eyes were dazed, as if he recalled his time in the academy.
In the twilight, the shameless man did not hold on until the last moment. He gave up halfway. He suddenly felt a little regretful. Compared with the person Xia Xiao mentioned, he did not do enough. But at this point, it was too late to turn back. Standing in front of more than 300 people, the shameless man felt that everyone was looking at him. If he retreated, wouldn't he be ridiculed?
More than 300 people also regretted it, and suddenly felt that they had lost face and were insulted again. This time, they became the losers who made specious arguments, and their remaining dignity was trampled on again. But they looked at the shameless man, and if he didn't leave, they could only stand there.
At the end of the team of more than 300 people, a few people sneaked away. Di Muli and Hu Bugui sensed it, and their faces remained grim. People without firm beliefs are most likely to be defeated, and such people are destined not to become strong.
"Go ahead! I'm waiting for your explanation!"
The shameless man shook his head, as if helpless, with blood boiling in his body and a strong smell of blood in his throat. This blood was stirring in his chest and was about to burst out.
"If you don't say anything, I will! It's not your fault that you left the academy. The academy's requirements are a bit harsh for most people, but have you forgotten how you were treated in the academy? Did the teachers ever scold you because you were not talented enough or didn't work hard enough? Did they ever make things difficult for you because you misunderstood them? Did the teachers never answer any questions you asked?"
"Stop talking!"
The face of the shameless man was full of red muscles, with hostility and hatred flowing through his face. He didn't want Xia Xiao to continue talking. He had drunk the blood oath wine and worshipped the heaven and earth. Even if he was unkind and unjust to the academy, he couldn't betray the alliance today. But Xia Xiao's words made him begin to waver.
It is better to always believe in something, even if it is wrong, than to be shaken.
"I'm telling you! The teachers were also sad when you left the academy. Just like our class, some people could have walked up the mountainside, but in the end they didn't persevere and stopped halfway. The teachers often mentioned those people, just like you, who were also the students that the teachers mentioned with regret. But you didn't take the path that the teachers hoped you would take, you went astray!"
"Stop talking!"
The shameless man's lips trembled, but Xia Xiao's voice carried metallic energy and a heavy tone as he spoke again:
"Even if you have grievances against the academy, you can write letters to express your sorrow. But have any of you ever written a letter? Many people left with you and have been studying the difficulties of cultivation through letters and other means, making progress step by step. But what about you? You only want to destroy the academy and even hurt the younger generation. It's really shameful!"
"Stop talking!"
The heart of the shameless man accelerated sharply at Xia Xiao's extremely fast speech. He was just a ruthless man. From the tearing off of his face, it can be seen that his ability to argue is far from perfect. But the hardship in his heart was also a heavy concern for more than 300 people when he spoke.
"You always belittle us and say we are worthless, but let me ask you, why did the academy deny us after admitting us? If the academy gave up on me from the beginning, I would have given up on this idea, but do you know how you feel after being driven away? Do you know how everyone looks at you? Have you ever risen to the altar and then fallen hard? Do you know the pain of being talked about?"
"I know."
"Bullshit! Do you know what it feels like to tear off this face?"
"I won't compare myself to you, because I don't think you can compare, but whose life is easy?"
Xia Xiao's tone was very light, which just happened to arouse the anger of the shameless man.
"Are you worse than us? We are all despised rats crossing the street, even worse than those who have not entered the academy! They laugh at us and ridicule us. The four hundred people in the alliance are all harmed by the academy! If the academy had written a letter for us, we wouldn't be so embarrassed!"
Only 400 people in total? Di Muli and Hu Bugui looked at each other. This number was less than they thought. It seemed that apart from the people at hand, the rest could be eliminated quickly. After all, there were less than 100 people.
Dimuli and Hu Bugui didn't know whether to be happy or angry, they thought the number was more than 400, but since the academy had cultivated 400 traitors, it was a shameful thing that was hard to talk about.
Xia Xiao's expression was indifferent. It was really boring that they started to compare their misery with his.
"You are not determined enough, but you still blame the academy? Your thoughts are really strange. But you old bastards now have two choices. Either apologize to the academy, the teachers, and Xie Yi, or stay here and make your own choice!"
"Your tone is a little too arrogant!"
The shameless man was about to move forward, but the whole world changed in an instant. Ye Wen was alone in the world, making the world dark. Although there was no substantial harm, his aura was strong enough to easily scare everyone.
The shameless man's eyes narrowed when he saw this strange sight. It was strange that Xia Xiao had no aura in his body, but he showed such talent.
Whenever Xia Xiao left the academy, he would wear that wristband. As long as Azhu was around, his aura would not be exposed.
"You can't even get up the mountainside, yet you want to destroy the academy. So what if I'm arrogant?"
"Don't think that the mountainside is the standard for judging everything!"
"Since you know this, why are you still so stubborn? This is why you can't walk up the mountainside!"
The shameless man had a fire in his heart, and his blood was boiling. He didn't know whether his hatred for the academy was due to his obsession or because he really hated the academy. He thought it was the former, and he also wanted to go there. If he had gone to the academy, he would definitely not be like this now.
laugh--
The shameless man was furious, his heart was tangled and impatient, and he could not control the situation in his body without paying attention, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood flowed on his robe, soaking it, and some blood also fell to the ground.
The shameless man began to pant heavily and was temporarily unable to speak. The students in the academy are really a bunch of monsters! Seeing him like this, the man behind him impatiently stepped forward from his side, took the invisible baton, and shouted:
"At this point, there is no way back. I can't walk up the mountainside, and I have lived in misery for more than 30 years. It's time for you to experience this kind of pain. No matter what, it's the academy's fault! Have you ever thought about our feelings? We have been selected again and again. We are human beings, not objects. Why should we be selected by you again and again after going through three rounds of selection?"
