Combat training ground.

On the field, except for the feminine monk squatting on the ground and shivering, there was no intact object. The building area was crushed into ruins, the forest area was burning, and the biological area was full of broken limbs and debris.

During this competition, for some unknown reason, Qiao Muyi changed his attitude of keeping a low profile and displayed his terrifying fighting power wantonly, shocking all the teachers and students present as well as all the monks who were trying to counter the attack.

Yu Kuangtu is in a tragedy this time. With the fourth-turn cultivator Dong Chengling around, he cannot be the first cultivator; now Qiao Muyi's combat power is the best among the third-turn cultivators, so he cannot be the strongest cultivator of the third turn.

However, with Qin Lian's gentle comfort and the encouragement of working together, he did not feel much regret. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit and had a deep gaze. It was a pity that his shoes and socks were burned, and his pants were burned into a postmodern style. With his bare feet and exposed calves, the impression he gave people instantly changed from a "motivated monk" to a "social idler ready to make a big move".

Bai Ji's expression grew darker and darker as he watched. In the end, even the female teachers and students surrounding him didn't dare to speak. They secretly wondered if Teacher Bai had some conflict with Deputy Director Qiao, otherwise how could he change from a warm and handsome man to an icy handsome man.

But it’s also so handsome!

Dong Chengling didn't have any unusual reaction, but while dealing with students' questions, she began to think about whether it was possible to insert the spiritual energy coordinates into a living object and bind it completely.

She wasn't worried about someone getting lost, but it was always good to have a plan...

"It's our teacher's turn next, right?"

"I think our teachers are quite capable and should be able to beat the top players. At least Teacher Bai and Teacher Dong can definitely do it!"

"Teacher Dong is a fourth-level master, so he won't be on the third-level list."

"And Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao's iron magic is also very powerful!"

"But the field is flattened, and there aren't many large pieces of iron. It's a bit risky for Mr. Liao to play."

"Where's Teacher Zhao?"

"Teacher Zhao is also very powerful. His fighting power during the second transformation seems to be comparable to the third transformation just now. He fights like a general in a wushuang game. I feel like he can make the list."

"Wait a minute, if Teacher Zhao can make the list, then Doctor Ren, who beat Teacher Zhao up, must also be on the list!"

Zhao Huo's face darkened when he heard the students' conversation. He snorted, and the students immediately dispersed with awkward smiles and looked for places to continue the discussion.

The teachers gathered together temporarily because it was their turn to compete with the monks from the General Administration of Countermeasures and they needed to discuss who would fight.

Actually, there was nothing much to discuss. In addition to Dong Chengling, the three third-level cultivators, Bai Ji, Liao Yonghai, and Zhao Huo, all requested to participate in the battle. Vice President Yuan Chu asked, "What about Ren Suo? He is also quite strong, and he has also been promoted to the third level. Doesn't he plan to be on the list?"

"He just said he didn't want to be on the list." Zhao Huo said, "And he doesn't seem to like fighting either."

Indeed, everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.

Although Ren Suo had a fierce Mortal Kombat with Zhao Huo in the second transformation, his battle record was never seen at other times. He only served as a healing monk on duty in the combat training ground and never went out for training.

Furthermore, Ren Suo is a healing monk, so he doesn't need to fight. He only needs to perform his healing duties well, which can be regarded as a contribution to society. It's a plus if the nurse can fight, but it's not a must.

In addition, compared with people like Zhao Huo and Bai Ji, Ren Suo seldom appeared in front of teachers and students. Even if he did, he always had a kind smile on his face, and he seldom chatted with students. He just quietly performed treatment. He did not look like a warmonger who was brave and aggressive and fought for fame and fortune. Everyone naturally thought that after Ren Suo was promoted to the third level, he was mostly studying healing spells and had no interest in working on combat spells.

"He doesn't like fighting, so there's no need to tell his name." Dong Chengling said.

"There are three of us. I'll go first." Bai Ji said, "Teacher Liao, you go second, and Teacher Zhao, you go last, is that ok?"

Liao Yonghai and Zhao Huo had no objection. Although it was not a competition, the first cultivator sent by Tianlian Academy had to show his strength and let the teachers and students know how powerful their teacher was, otherwise it would be difficult to teach in the future.

Bai Ji, whose spell destructive power and effect performance ability surpass everyone else, is naturally the best candidate.

Bai Ji turned his head slightly, looked over the crowd, and looked at Qiao Muyi who was surrounded by countermeasure monks in the distance. He clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves.

Cultivation.

Combat power.

Neither is indispensable.

He doesn’t care whether he can make the list or not, but he cares... that he is not as good as Dong Chengling in cultivation, and not as strong as Qiao Muyi in combat power!

I can lose to anyone, but I can’t lose to these two women!

Bai Ji looked at his next opponent, Gu Yuexuan, but saw Gu Yuexuan staring blankly at the door.

Gu Wenyi, who looked as imposing as Mount Tai, strode into the combat training ground with a stern face. Ren Suo followed behind him with a wry smile on his face. Gu Yueyan came in hiding behind Ren Suo.

When did the three of them go out?

Except for Lin Xianyu, everyone had this question in their mind.

"The next match will be between Gu Yuexuan of Dui Ce and Ren Suo of Tian Lian." Gu Wenyi's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough to echo throughout the training grounds, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"It's Ren Suo who wants to go up..."

"Have you decided on Ren Suo?"

"Oh... huh?"

"Um!?"

"Ren Suo!?"

Yu Kuangtu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Li Dan: "Is our camera okay?"

The rights to video editing and broadcasting of these matches naturally belong to the Countermeasures Bureau, so the Countermeasures Bureau is naturally responsible for recording them. However, the fighting just now was so intense that Yu Kuangtu didn't know whether the camera was smashed or not.

Li Dan glanced at Ren Suo, then at the rather excited Yu Kuangtu, and hesitated for a moment: "It's not broken, but even you can't interfere with the flow of video footage."

"It doesn't matter. It will leak out sooner or later anyway. It's good to be able to take a picture. It's good to be able to take a picture." Yu Kuangtu said happily. He looked ready to watch Ren Suo's show, and Qin Lian even wondered if he should use another way of encouragement, such as bullying Ren Suo openly after you become stronger.

Qiao Muyi, who was looking for an opportunity to ask Ren Suo, frowned slightly when he suddenly heard such news.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly pulled Yao Fei over and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the hotel where those people are staying? It must be accurate to the floor and room number."

Yao Fei looked at Qiao Muyi with a puzzled look on her face: "Why are you asking this?"

"I might knock them out in the dark."

"...Just pretend that I never asked this question." Although Yao Fei couldn't be sure whether her deputy director would really do such a thing, she also knew Qiao Muyi's character. At most, she would just play a prank, and she would be so quick and agile that no one would find out.

In the past, Qiao Muyi always played some private jokes between girls with her, which made her feel embarrassed and angry. But recently, Qiao Muyi has become more honest. Although they are still friends, their intimacy is maintained within the scope of friendship, which makes Yao Fei miss the past.

Since Qiao Muyi asked her this, it meant that most of what she did were trivial matters, so Yao Fei agreed.

On the other hand, the teachers who were discussing the matter should be the most surprised people.

In theory, they should report the names of the players first, and then the Countermeasures Bureau will assign opponents. How come it has become Instructor Gu who makes the decisions now?

And why is Ren Suo?

What do you want to do? Are you going to team up? Cut the back row right away and kill the nurse first?

Compared with the treatment class brought by the Countermeasures Bureau, all the teachers and students of Tianlian believe more in Ren Suo. He has been dedicated and meticulous when on duty these days. He does not play with his mobile phone even when he has free time. No matter how many patients there are, he is always gentle and patient. The treatment is never perfunctory and laborious, and he has already won unanimous praise from teachers and students.

When they were confused, Ren Suo came over by himself.

Dong Chengling immediately burst out with his aura, intimidating the others so that they could not speak, and asked, "Is this what you asked for?"

“Uh…” Ren Suo looked somewhat helpless, his eyes wandering a little: “I guess so.”

Bai Ji, who had recovered from the shock, became more determined to cultivate to the fourth level and asked, "Is Instructor Gu targeting you? You can give up. As long as you don't want to, no one can force you to go on stage."

Zhao Huo: "Yes, yes, it would be bad if you get hurt. It would not be a good thing to embarrass yourself in front of the whole school. Just give up."

As soon as Zhao Huo said those gloating words, he regretted it. Dong Chengling was still there!

Everyone could hear that his words were obviously meant to provoke others!

Zhao Huo observed with the corner of his eye and found that Dong Chengling was indeed glaring at him. He secretly groaned in his heart that he was now hated by the fourth-level cultivator. This was troublesome. It seemed that he had to follow Bai Ji's steps and see if he could get Bai Ji's protection for a little bit...

Hmm? Why is Bai Ji staring at me too?

"...No matter what you say, I won't give up." Ren Suo glanced to the upper right: "I haven't fought for a long time since I was promoted to the third level. Now that I have the chance, I also want to test my ability."

The teachers who were not familiar with Ren Suo all agreed with his reason. After all, it was just a competition and no one would die, so it was indeed a great testing opportunity.

As for those who were familiar with Ren Suo, it was obvious that Ren Suo must have other reasons that he couldn't express. However, since Ren Suo had said this, they didn't plan to continue asking and it wasn't dangerous, so they just followed him.

Ren Suo waited for a while and found that there was really no one stopping him from going on stage. His heart immediately sank!

Someone, hold me!

我说不定会动摇的！

你们就这么眼睁睁看着奶妈冲锋啊！

我是说‘不管你们怎么说’，我都不会放弃’，那你们直接敲晕我拖走不就得了！难道我会还手吗？

任索心里也是无比蛋疼，他倒是想放弃啊！

但奈何他在吹逼的时候，被人家老爸逮住了啊！

他刚宣布古月轩将会被人当儿子一样吊打，然后古月轩他老爸就冒泡了！

而因为他的表达问题，任索又没有说明白是乔木依要吊打古月轩，因此古教官便认为是任索要吊打他儿子了。

那时候，在被古月言、古教官这两父女围观的情况下，任索也不可能脸皮厚到说出‘其实我是说对策局的乔副局长要打你儿子，不是我打你儿子’那他成什么人了？

反派的头号狗腿？

魔王的首席舔狗？

最重要是……

任索转过头，看了一眼远处正在和林羡鱼聊天的古月言。

他为了安慰古月言，贬低了古月轩，现在他如果怂了，岂不是证明他刚才说的都是TM是屁话？

不管是因为下不了台，还是为了向古月言证明他说的话是对的，任索都不能不战而退，甚至必须要打赢。

要不是任索没看到通知，昨天就召唤了分身去值班，现在他说不定还能召唤分身出来屡行一下战士的义务到时候不管古月轩牛不牛逼，反正都没我牛逼。

不过任索深思片刻，感觉自己也不是毫无胜算，赵火说的话也不是全无道理。

第一，赵火打赢过古月轩。

第二，他（的分身）吊打过古月轩。

第三，刚刚古月言偷偷告诉他，古月轩是刚刚晋升三转，唯一精通的三转法术可能就只有他的觉醒法术。

这么一细想，任索这波优势很大！

“任索，既然你真的要打，那我提醒你一下啊。”

感觉白忌护不住自己的赵火，决定做出补偿来向东承灵示好，将他知道的情报说出来：“你知道我以前打赢过古月轩吧？但你不要因此认为古月轩很弱，相反，他在天赋上并不比我差多少，你千万要小心。”

“嗯？”任索有些惊讶，因为赵火很少会这样称赞别人。

赵火斟酌了一下，说道：“你应该知道，在灵气复苏之前，我们武术已经没落了……不过灵气复苏之后也没崛起。”

“而没落的原因，除了因为热兵器盛行、法治社会、缺乏关注度等等原因，很重要的一个原因就是因为传统武术所需要的练武时间太长，比跆拳道、空手道、散打等等具有实战效果的武术都要长。”

“因为我们这些传统武术，无论源流何方，最终要么成为军中传承的技击术，要么变成村庄武夫为了保卫家园的庄稼功夫，而他们练武主要的目的，不是为了战斗，而是为了强壮体魄以前战斗混战，可没有你施展花拳绣腿的功夫，都是一杆子刺出去，直接将敌人捅死，哪会来来回回几回合？”

“如果你看过以前武术家的照片，就会看出来，那些出名武术家的年轻照片，有一个算一个，全都是肌肉壮汉，放到今天打拳击，起码都得是中量级以上。”

“大家练武最终目的，就是为了能一拳打死人，一枪捅死人，一点都不花里花俏。”

“现在不需要那样的身体强度，也不需要那样的杀伤力，更不需要那么长的练武时间，武术自然就没落了。而且真的想练，参军或许是一个更好的选择军人的锻炼是最科学的，我从小练武，可是得老爸擦药按摩，免得留下暗疾。”

介绍了好长一轮当今武术的情况，赵火才转入正题：“所以……我18岁武学大成，到南枪门下踢馆的时候，我身高185，体重100kg，按照BMI指数算是轻度肥胖，但那只是因为我肌肉量比常人多，所以显得重。”

“而古月轩那时候，19岁，看起来比现在还瘦，对我来说就跟竹竿差不多，而且他那时候就读天京大学大三年级，也就说他甚少将时间花在锻炼和练武上……”

“我的家传形意，跟‘南枪’的八极差别不大。然而在这样体重的差距下，古月轩依然能和我游战将近两分钟，最后受到我不轻不重的一击才认输我可没有放水！”

赵火说出结论：“就凭他这份实战天赋，如果他花心思在练武上，我未必就能赢得那么轻松。”

“南枪比我家老头子聪明得多，我老头子食古不化，非得要我打出一个天下第一，扬我赵家威名……但灵气没有复苏的话，我是天下第一又有什么用？当保安吗？当一个特别厉害的保安吗？”

“南枪就不是了，他们父子只是为了传承家传武术，随便练练，真正的心思都放在其他地方。”

“特别是古月轩，他兼顾多样，文体两开花，在每一项领域都能取得优异成绩……我也只是能在武术上胜他罢了。”

“我听说灵气复苏之后，早早从军的古月轩很快就接触了灵气法术。哪怕因为工作繁忙和资质原因，他晋升三转不久，但以他的天赋才智，他在法术上的成就，恐怕……”

“现在的他，我也不敢轻言取胜。”

任索总结了一下赵火的发言古月轩也许很牛逼，我赵火可能打不过，你自己看着办。

“请双方入场准备。”

对策局的主持大声说道，师生们和对策修士马上聚集到安全线（临时画的）外的好位置，准备围观。

赵火拍了拍任索的肩膀，笑道：“不过你能赢我，应该没什么问题的，你还是忘掉我刚才说的话。”

“哦，呵呵，好的。”任索强颜欢笑地朝他们摆摆手，往场内走去。

……

听到即将开战的通知，古月言立刻往人群里挤，不停询问古月言刚才发生什么事的林羡鱼也立马跟上去，不过前面太多人了，她只好待在古月言后一点的地方。

“要开始了吗？”

“是啊，而且是任大哥要上场……哎？小星星？”林羡鱼转过头，发现是任星美挤过来了，好奇问道：“你刚才去哪了？”

“去洗手间，这附近没洗手间，我跑到校医院那边了。”任星美淡淡说道。

“去这么久？”林羡鱼完全不在意尴尬，继续追问。

任星美瞥了一眼前面的古月言，低声说道：“路上看见有只公猫在撩另外一只小母猫，因为太有趣了，所以我躲在一边偷看了好久。”

“你连猫撩猫都看得出来？”林羡鱼很是惊讶：“学院这么多猫的吗？”

“学院毕竟在郊外吗，而且天气冷了，猫容易**。”任星美呵呵说道，目光变冷：“哎，你说公猫如果不**，那该多好。”

“割了蛋蛋就不**啊。”林羡鱼提出建议：“小星星你家养猫？”

“养啊，不过我家的猫已经绝育了，还是我哥建议的。”任星美的视线越过古月言的肩膀，注视着训练场上的那个背影：“割蛋蛋这倒是不错的主意，只可惜……”

……

此时，走到场上的任索已经逐渐压下心里的慌张，变得淡定自然起来头可断，发型不可乱，既然要打，那就打得漂亮一点！

任索侧过头，看向围观群众，很轻易地找到现在依然双眼通红得像小兔子的古月言，朝她眨了眨眼睛，示意她好好看着吧。

接下来的问题，就是如何在战斗中说服古月轩，让古月轩配合自己演一场戏……

如果说是为了治疗他妹妹的心病，他应该会欣然答应吧？

赵火和古月言都说他是一个聪明人，聪明人打斗地主应该都是会‘对三’‘方片四’地慢慢出牌，不停试探，因此任索跟他应该是有交流的时间。

淡定，任索，你现在可是戴着「求道者之饰」，嘴炮能力应该增强了！

任索雄气赳赳地走过去，看见笑眯眯的帅哥古月轩也迎着他走来。

任索的视线越过了古月轩，看见古月轩后方的古文意。

糟糕，他老爸该不会在他面前说我坏话了吧？

要想办法亲近一点啊！

赵火跟我同龄，古月轩比赵火大一岁……有了！

于是任索率先打招呼：“古大哥，月言经常跟我提起你，你真是年轻有为啊！”

任索的话术似乎生效了，古月轩笑得越加灿烂：“是这样吗？真是不好意思。不过，你叫我大哥，不太好吧……？”

“你和我这关系，喊一声大哥不过分吧？”任索顺着他话头，继续拉近关系。

“是啊，这关系，没关系……”古月轩连连点头，拍了拍腰间的佩刀，说道：“对了，我的战斗方式要用刀，你不介意吧？”

“不介意不介意。”任索说道：“对了，古大哥，我有件事要跟你聊一下……”

“不如打完再说吧。”

“不，我要说的事很重要，是关于你妹妹的事……”

“我明白，我明白。”古月轩重重点头：“打完再说吧，先打完，先打完！”

The host of the Countermeasures Bureau shouted, "Prepare for battle! Both sides please move back fifty meters!"

Ren Suo sighed and had to give up the conversation, standing 50 meters away from Gu Yuexuan.

But Ren Suo also breathed a sigh of relief. This time, at least he had gotten closer to Gu Yuexuan. He would fight with Gu Yuexuan slowly and have a good discussion with him during the fight. This level would be passed...

"fighting……"

The question is whether Gu Yuexuan values ​​his sister or not? If he doesn't value her, will he refuse to agree?

If he doesn't agree, then while chatting, try using "Wizard's Feather of Immortality" to rush into his arms, and then use "Finger Lock" to restrain him.

Well, that’s it, use courtesy before force, and you will surely succeed!

"……start!"

Swish!

Seeing the flash of a knife in front of him, Ren Suo didn't think twice and directly used "Ghost Sprint" to avoid it!

Then there was a hissing sound, and a linear wave of smoke suddenly rose from the ground.

Gu Yuexuan, who was 50 meters away, drew his sword boldly, and a knife mark extending for dozens of meters was left on the ground where the tip of the sword was pointing. The linear smoke waves on the knife mark were actually the result of the soil being blown up by the wind from the sword!

If Ren Suo hadn't dodged just now, even if he could activate the "Gauze Dress" instantly, he would probably be knocked away by the wind from the sword!

Ren Suo was scared half to death, and saw that Gu Yuexuan in the distance no longer had a smile on his face, but only a deep murderous intent!

What's going on!

Brother, weren’t you having a nice chat with me just now?

Now you use a long-range killer move?

Ren Suo subconsciously turned to look at Gu Yueyan, seeking intelligence assistance, and tried to ask with his eyes:

Is your brother sick?

But when Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan met eyes, they heard a deep roar that was getting closer and closer:

"You dare to look east and west!"

Gu Yuexuan turned into a flying shadow, his feet riding on the blast, holding an alloy straight knife, his face showing a murderous intent, and rushed towards Ren Suo with the force of thunder!
