Chapter 213: They are all virgins! ?
As the sky gradually darkened in the evening, Ji You returned to the inner courtyard from Cao Jinsong's courtyard.
The battle with Liu Qichen was much more exciting than the one with Wu Zhen. He could clearly feel the power erupting from his body, so strong that even he was frightened.
It is true that the human race is inherently weak, but its potential is actually no worse than that of the other two races.
The accumulation and outburst of one's own strength cannot be underestimated.
However, the difference between the two battles is not because of the huge gap in strength between Liu Qichen and Wu Zhen, but because the robe is really powerful.
So he wasn't lying, it was indeed a good thing.
If Liu Qichen wore a few more layers, it would probably be more difficult for him.
However, those clothes are really damn expensive.
Ji You took out the envelope from his arms again and was amazed when he counted the silver bills inside.
He had previously asked Qionghua Pavilion to prepare some defensive magic weapons, saying that he would help them with publicity and achieve win-win cooperation, but in fact he did not know much about the price when he was discussing it. Now looking at the silver notes in his hand, and thinking that this was only a 50% premium, he was dumbfounded at the price of the robes.
This thing is definitely not something that poor bastards like them can afford.
Ji You put the silver bills into the storage gourd and then went into the house. He didn't plan to do high-intensity body training in the near future, but planned to take a rest.
It wasn't because he had hit a bottleneck or something else, it was mainly because after a few half-full lunches, Teacher Cao's monthly salary was all gone...
It's not even the middle of the month yet, and he's already a little worried about Cao Jinsong.
I haven't worked hard for so many years, and my monthly salary has always been this low. How am I going to get by in the future...
Ji You sighed a few times while lying on the bed, then wrapped himself in the quilt. He always fell asleep quickly, and he would fall into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
But under the same moonlight, many people began to toss and turn in sleep because of today's fight.
There was no gorgeous clash of magic in the battle between Liu Qichen and Ji You, it was just plain and down-to-earth sword fights. However, the discussion caused by this battle far exceeded that of Shi Junhao's five battles.
Therefore, after the large number of disciples who went to watch the battle returned from the White Jade Platform, they all huddled in the chapel, leaning against the wall, sitting cross-legged on the cushions, and communicating in a low voice with their fellow practitioners in the chapel.
Some people say that Ji You simply struck the sword three times, raising and lowering, raising and lowering, and in fact he didn't even use any sword moves.
Some people also said that he did not use any spiritual energy when he stepped into the air.
There were thousands of pairs of eyes at the scene, so someone would definitely notice these details. So during the communication, details from all angles began to be filled in.
The more details there are, the more silent it becomes.
Ji You is an outlier, both in his background and in his way of doing things.
The two Tianshu Academy preliminaries now made him seem even more out of place among the teachers and students in the academy.
In the past, the children of aristocratic families would have sneered at this kind of alternative, but as their strength was demonstrated, this alternative became very distinct and different.
The three swords that slashed towards Liu Qichen were too powerful. What was even more terrifying was that he had not yet used the Lingjian Mountain swordsmanship.
"But there are still three more games."
"?"
"After Wu Zhen and Liu Qichen lost successively, Ji You still has three games to get a place in the Tiandao Conference. I don't know who the Elders' Pavilion will arrange to play."
"He is definitely stronger than Liu Qichen. The next three games should be more interesting."
In fact, at this time, even the most dull-witted disciple could sense the attitude of the academy towards Ji You.
Because whether it was restricting him from using swordsmanship, selecting opponents with extraordinary combat power for Ji You, or preparing body-protecting pills and robes for those people, these seemingly reasonable actions only explained one problem.
They obviously didn't intend to let Ji You get a spot in the Tiandao Association and wanted to knock him out before the preliminaries.
So, there are three more games.
The disciples discussed until late at night, and finally realized that there were three more games to go.
In their opinion, the Elders' Pavilion should put all their efforts in the next three games to make it difficult for Ji You to win.
In the last game, a robe that could block Ji You appeared. Then in the next game, an offensive magic weapon that could hurt someone in the Rong Dao realm might appear. Then Ji You would be in danger.
In fact, the immortal cultivators in Qingyun World have always had a blind trust in their identities and realms. This is a subconscious habit passed down from the human race for thousands of years.
The elders of the Immortal Sect have a noble status and are naturally omnipotent in their eyes. Especially since they cannot understand why Ji You drew his sword, they think that no matter how strong Ji You is, how can he twist his thigh with his arm.
However, they felt that Ji You was indeed quite imposing.
Because even a candidate for direct disciple like Shi Junhao would only face opponents of the same level in the end, but Ji You was not like that. He was facing the entire Elders' Pavilion.
This feeling was as if there was a huge chessboard in the void, with countless elders on the left, and on the right was Ji You, holding a long sword, as if he couldn't stand everything...
The next morning, Ji You got up from his room and looked at the rooster crowing in silence.
Yesterday’s dream was very lively. This is probably one of the effects of body training. The strength of the body has amplified many impulses.
Yan Shuyi looks very powerful, twisting his hips and kicking his legs while showing his teeth and claws, but in fact he is not strong at all and can only be said to be a small judge.
Yuan Caiwei was more reserved and not very relaxed, but she could barely keep up with the pace.
Chong's traitorous disciple Lu Hanyan also appeared. Perhaps because of the frequent contact in the past few days, she often appeared in his dreams, but she did not line up and was placed at the bottom.
Ji You opened the doors and windows to ventilate the room, took a long breath, and saw the disciples on the mountain starting to walk down the mountain.
Not long after, as the sun rose higher, the competition on the White Jade Platform for Ascension to Immortality began again.
But it was not a competition among the Tongxuan realm, but a competition among the Rongdao realm.
Shi Junhao, who got a place in the Tiandao Club, left the venue and was replaced by Xiao Hanyan to defend the title.
Then two days, two games, two wins.
This is not surprising, because since Xiao Hanyan and Shi Junhao can become candidates for direct disciples, they are obviously different from others.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Hanyan is expected to win five games in a row, and then Chai Ze will come to defend the title.
By that time, He Lingxiu, the direct disciple of Zizai Palace, would probably come out of seclusion as a person in the upper realm of Rong Dao to grab the last spot. There shouldn't be any other surprises.
So if you think about it carefully, this kind of competition is actually no different from a nomination, so the one who will really have surprises is still the Tongxuan realm.
Thinking of this, all the outer courtyard disciples present turned their heads and looked towards the southeast.
Ever since Ji You defended the Tongxuan Realm, the mentality of the outer courtyard disciples has been like this. No matter how exciting the Rongdao Realm competition is, what everyone is thinking about is the next Tongxuan Realm match.
"It seems that no elders have come today."
"They should be researching countermeasures and selecting the next Tongxuan realm player to challenge Ji You."
However, the elders were not there, but those in the inner courtyard who were preparing to compete for the quota were there.
On the surface, these inner courtyard Tongxuan realm masters seem to be calm and composed. When they see someone coming forward to say hello, they just nod indifferently and ignore the person, acting like they are superior.
But almost everyone in the outer courtyard could see that they were already very anxious.
Such as Pan Bin, the grandson of Elder Pan of the Elders' Pavilion, Wang Gaocen, the grandson of Elder Wang of the Elders' Pavilion, Yu Shiliu, the great-grandniece of Elder Yu, and Gu Zetao, the grandson of Elder Shi.
These four people were actually the original holders of the quota.
Just like Shi Junhao, Xiao Hanyan, Chai Ze and He Lingxiu who are in the Rong Dao realm.
However, all the places for Tongxuan Realm have been suppressed by Ji You and his sword, and not even half of them can be released.
If the preliminaries for the Tongxuan realm are to proceed, the most important issue is to defeat Ji You from the arena.
"The next one to go on stage should be Lu Da from the inner courtyard. He has been trapped in the Tongxuan realm for eight years. It is said that he has touched some thresholds in the past few days. He should be considered the strongest in the Tongxuan realm of the inner courtyard."
"The strongest?"
"Except Ji You."
"The Lu family is not far from my home. I have also heard about this senior brother. He should be able to get a place in the Tiandao Association. It would be a risky move for Ji You. I don't think he would be willing to play."
"Hey, what do you know? Does he have the final say on whether to play or not? Didn't you notice that Pan Bin, Wang Gaocen, Yu Shiliu and Gu Zetao are all waiting? No matter how strong Lu Da is, he is just a stepping stone for the Elders to pave the way for their children and grandchildren. He doesn't dare to beat those four, but he still has some chance against Ji You."
"It won't be that excessive, will it?"
"You underestimate the complexity of this relationship."
After Xiao Hanyan's second match ended, the disciples who had not yet left the arena were whispering to each other, and most of them were speculating that it was Lu Da from the inner courtyard who would challenge Ji You.
This is the rule of Qingyun Tianxia. Resources are fixed and there will not be one more with the appearance of a certain person.
And what you get is what others lose.
It will not be like in the drama, where seeing that a disciple has good talent, the family will give up the quota that should have been given to the grandson to him, or marry the granddaughter to him. There will only be suppression and exclusion.
Because as people of other surnames grow, their appetites will eventually grow and become difficult to control.
One day, it will grow to your own body.
Amid the discussion, someone suddenly turned around and looked towards the mountain road southwest of the Dengxian Baiyutai. A figure was walking out of the vast forest in the inner courtyard and then entered the Director's Office.
That figure was Lu Da from the inner courtyard.
Upon seeing this scene, some students from other colleges who had guessed it in advance immediately showed an expression of "Look, it's just as I expected."
So early the next morning, some people started to rush to the White Jade Terrace to ascend to immortality.
Lu Hanyan, an activist who was always thinking about going to see Senior Brother Ji, couldn't even catch up with the first row.
Cao Jinsong, Ban Yangshu and Bai Rulong also arrived, greeted the Lu sisters, and then stayed in the seats reserved by the two sisters in advance.
In Xiao Hanyan's two duels, the elders of the Elders' Pavilion never showed up.
This was mainly because the places in the Rong Dao Realm were almost all reserved. Even if they were elders, how could they reach out to the position of direct disciple?
But since today's competition is for the Tongxuan realm, everyone thinks that he should come at least once.
But to everyone's surprise, no one from the Elders' Pavilion showed up. Only those inner courtyard masters who came every day arrived at the venue with complicated expressions.
"Why aren't the people from the Elders' Pavilion here?"
"Maybe...something happened in the courtyard?"
"I came for the first two games."
"It doesn't matter whether you come or not. The elders can't personally participate in the battle."
Lu Hanyan was also looking around at this time and found that Princess Changle Zhao Yunyue was still standing in the previous position, but Fang Jincheng was nowhere to be seen.
But before she could think about it, Ji You came with a sword and walked onto the white jade platform.
He was wearing a white gentleman's shirt and had a sword tied around his waist. He stood in the same position as the previous two times.
At this moment, a burst of surprised noise suddenly broke out among the crowd, and everyone looked towards where Ji You was.
He was a thin man, also wearing a gentleman's shirt, with his hair combed neatly. He walked up to the stage step by step and stood opposite Ji You.
But many people who have seen Luda know that he is tall and strong, which is completely different from this skinny figure.
Lu Qingqiu blinked and spoke uncertainly: "It's a Tongxuan realm senior brother from the outer courtyard, his name is Liu something..."
"Liu what?"
"I'm not sure. This person has a very low presence and doesn't like to move around. It is said that he is from the same clan as Liu Qichen. He is much older than him, but his talent is not as good. I have only met him once by chance."
"?"
Cao Jinsong and the others turned their heads in confusion, and suddenly discovered that there were two people following the disciple named Liu, but they did not go on stage, but were guarding below the stage.
Afterwards, a disciple from the Head Office came up on stage holding a gong and slammed it loudly.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, thinking, "I'd like to see what's going on," the disciple named Liu suddenly stepped forward and bowed.
He was originally thin, and when he bent down he looked like a bamboo.
However, what everyone was talking about the most at this moment was this man's politeness, because two Tongxuan realm competitions had already been held, and this was the first time that someone was so polite and had to salute before making a move.
So some people in the audience said that he must be quite capable, because he was so calm in the face of Ji You, which meant that he either overestimated himself or had some real ability.
Since the person was chosen by the Council of Elders, the result will definitely be the latter.
But the next second, the voice of the disciple surnamed Liu suddenly appeared, and everyone on the scene was stunned.
"Junior Brother Ji, I admit defeat."
Ji You looked at him, frowning slightly.
When he got up this morning, before he had time to make tea, he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and found that the disciples of the Headmaster's Academy had brought him three challenge letters in a row. The names of all the people on the challenge letters were people he had never heard of.
In fact, he already had some premonition in his heart since then.
He had no right to choose his opponent himself, but there was nothing he could do if the other party acted like this.
There were only five defense matches, but he could only play two, and they were not very successful. He felt that he had suffered a great loss.
At this time, there was an uproar outside the venue. Everyone was looking at this scene in shock, seemingly unable to react, but soon they saw the second person coming on stage.
This man was short, but stronger than the previous one.
As the disciple from the Head Office struck the gong, he immediately bowed and then walked down the white jade platform.
Next came the third person, a woman from the outer courtyard, who walked slowly over and bowed forward after the gong was struck.
Everyone was stunned as they watched this scene. They thought, "Is this the end of the fifth round? Where is the anger of the Elders' Pavilion? Where is Senior Brother Lu Da?"
At this moment, even Cao Jinsong, Ban Yangshu and Bai Rulong couldn't help but open their mouths wide, as if they had not expected this.
The three heads of the Office of Administration were also watching this scene at this time, with very complicated expressions.
"The elders just gave up like that?"
"We can't delay it any longer. The disciples with low realms are afraid of death and dare not go. The disciples with higher realms don't want to lose to Ji You in the preliminaries. With Ji You guarding here, I'm afraid there won't be any vacancies by the time the Tiandao Conference starts. Then our Tian Academy will really be laughed at."
Lang Hetong couldn't help but open his mouth: "They are willing to do this?"
Qin Rong glanced at him and said, "Unless they find a Rong Dao Realm master to challenge, Ji You will definitely get this spot. But if they really do that, the Elders' Pavilion will lose face, and it's not even certain whether they can win."
"Why?"
"The robe is torn. The robe that could withstand the Rong Dao realm was cut by Ji You."
"?"
Ji You watched the three people step down from the stage one after another, and then walked down the white jade platform with an expressionless face.
Even though I had expected it, I still felt it was boring, as if it was given for free.
Cao Jinsong watched as he walked off the stage, unable to help but whisper, "Why did the Elders suddenly change their attitude?"
Hearing this question, the Lu sisters and Ban Yangshu looked at Ji You in confusion.
“They can’t find anyone.”
"Why?"
"Because last time I fought with Liu Qichen, I destroyed his robes. They probably can't find anyone who can fight with me in Tongxuan realm. They are reluctant to send those grandsons out, fearing that they will be defeated by me, so admitting defeat is the best outcome."
Cao Jinsong opened his mouth and said, "That robe that can block the Rong Dao realm, was destroyed by you?"
Ji You nodded: "Although it was disabled after blocking my sword, it was able to protect the master's life. It is really a handsome robe. Instructor Cao, are you interested in buying one?"
“?!”
Cao Jinsong looked at him in a daze, and most of the others had the same expression.
This is not something that can be explained away with just a few words or a joke. It is totally unreasonable for you, a Tongxuan realm master, to have cut through a robe that even a Rongdao realm master could block.
Ban Yangshu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Where does Junior Brother's fighting power come from?"
Ji You raised his head and glanced at him: "Senior Brother should know."
"It's really about body training. This... this is too mysterious. Do you think I can learn it, brother? We are not outsiders.
Cao Jinsong glanced at Ban Yangshu, then turned to Ji You and said, "Evil disciple, teach me first!"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't, because this set of exercises requires innate fullness, without loss or leakage, pure yang without leakage, so that the Qi is sufficient, so only a boy's body can practice it."
Ji You opened his mouth and talked nonsense.
There was no other way. Anyone who wanted to practice this way needed to have their spiritual essence split. But he only knew of himself who was still alive after the spiritual essence split. He didn't want Cao Jinsong and Ban Yangshu to put him in danger because of this.
But as soon as he spoke, Ji You was slightly stunned.
Because he found that Cao Jinsong and Ban Yangshu's expectations had not diminished at all, and even Bai Rulong was the same. The only two people with different expressions were the Lu sisters, who looked at him in surprise.
Seeing this scene, Ji You couldn't help but mutter "waste". Me too.
"It is true that you can cultivate a virgin body, but you need to start from the age of five."
"Then what are you talking about so lively? Why don't you just say five years old!"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to still be a virgin..."
Ji You pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked in the direction of the Inner Court Elders' Council, remaining silent for a long time.
After training his physical body, he has also been training his spiritual mind, especially after his physical body has reached the state of Tao fusion, the degree of fit between spirit and flesh is higher, allowing him to see farther.
At this moment, in his sight, several elders from the Elders' Pavilion were looking at him with very ugly expressions.
What a nice expression! I love to see it and keep seeing it.
Ji You came to his senses, and then followed Cao Jinsong and others to leave the White Jade Platform.
At this time, on the cliff of the inner courtyard, all the elders were silent...
In the following days, Xiao Hanyan fought against the remaining three opponents one by one.
Students from other colleges still come to watch the battles every day, and from time to time they exclaim in amazement, praising the sophistication of the techniques.
There was also the next competition in Tongxuan Realm. As everyone had expected, the defender who took over from Ji You was Wang Gaocen, the grandson of Elder Wang of the Elders' Pavilion.
However, the battles in which he defended the ring were less entertaining than those of Ji You.
It was precisely because of seeing such a battle that they recalled the previous sword strikes and felt how outrageous they were.
But they still couldn't figure out some of the details.
Why did he give up three times in a row without even trying?
There must be a reason why the arrogant Elders' Council gave up so abruptly.
The ending gave everyone a feeling that it was as if the long-awaited battle ended with only a small spark, leaving people at a loss.
There was also the elder who never showed up from beginning to end in the "battle" of three bows that day, Fang Jincheng who had been jumping up and down on the sidelines but did not show up that time, and the complicated looks those Tongxuan realm disciples gave Ji You. Everything seemed so mysterious.
Some people said that the Elders' Pavilion saw Ji You's strength and thought he could get the top spot, so they softened their hearts.
Others said that someone from the Heavenly Book Hall mediated and prevented the confrontation between the elders and students.
This is the case with questions that have no answers, and it is normal for there to be different opinions.
It was not until the Lesser Heat season, when the wind blew and the cattails rustled in the small pond and the lotus flowers filled the whole yard after the rain, that a disciple from the Head Office mentioned this moment at a banquet hosted by a noble family in the capital.
"Brother Lu Da went to the Director's Office that day not to challenge Ji You."
"He... is going to withdraw from the competition."
"The Lu family is also a small family that has always relied on the Elders' Pavilion. It is impossible for him to get a spot from the descendants of the Elders' Pavilion. He doesn't want to compete against Ji You, so he can only withdraw."
Zhao Yunyue was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She frowned slightly after hearing this: "Why can't I do it to Ji You?"
Upon hearing this, the disciple of the Head Office spoke up: "Of course it's because they can't win. That robe... was chopped into a footcloth. Are they sending a Rong Dao Realm cultivator to challenge a Tong Xuan Realm cultivator? That would be too embarrassing. If they lose..."
"Anyway, Senior Brother Lu Da said that he was about to reach the threshold of the Dao Fusion Realm, and he didn't want his Dao Heart to be shattered by a sword, hahahaha."
The disciple of the Head Office laughed for a while, and suddenly found that the dozens of people in front of him did not laugh with him. Instead, they all stopped what they were doing and their eyes gradually widened.
Everyone knows that Ji You is an extraordinary fighter. To be honest, everyone thinks that even if Lu Da comes to power, he may not be able to defeat Ji You.
But Ji You shattered the robe that could block the Fusion Dao Realm with one sword, which was a completely different concept...
The disciple in charge of the academy felt a tremor in his heart, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much.
But words once spoken are like spilled water, which is hard to take back. So, they spread throughout Tianshu Academy in a blink of an eye, causing utter silence.
For thousands of years, the world of Qingyun has always been strictly hierarchical, with the small fearing the big and the low fearing the high.
But only then did they realize that Ji You was committing an insubordination and pressing forward with a sword, and in the end it was the high and mighty Elders' Pavilion that bowed its head and took a step back.
The ones who were most deeply touched were actually the students of the same class as Ji You.
They were admitted to the hospital together with Ji You. They usually took pills and knocked stones. For a long time before the Autumn Fight, they regarded Ji You, a country private cultivator, as a joke. Even though he sensed the Heavenly Book, some people still thought that he was just an episode in their long career of cultivation.
At that time, no one would have thought that in the future he would be able to shake the Elders' Pavilion and dominate the entire territory by himself.
Compared with my current self, this kind of person is totally different from me.
"I have never seen a person like Senior Brother Ji. Sister, you should have taken him home immediately when you were rescued."
Lu Qingqiu also heard about what happened at the party. He heard that he scared Lu Da so much that he didn't dare to go on stage. After sighing for a long time, he looked at his sister and said, "Take him home so that you can spank your wife's sister every day?"
Lu Hanyan's cheeks flushed slightly: "A strict teacher produces a good student."
"Is it that comfortable? I would like to learn kendo..."
"No, no, don't think too much, sister. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. You will know without trying."
Lu Qingqiu looked at the vigilance in Lu Hanyan's eyes and said, "It seems that these sisters are not blood relatives..."
Lu Hanyan picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Now that I think about it, I still feel that my sister is useless. She has known me for so long but she still can't get married."
"Even if we got married, it was mine, not yours."
"Since I was little, my sister has always liked to share good things with me."
