Chapter 76 The Oncoming Tryout for Interior Disciples
2016 Words
After Mu Qing and Shi Dong went far, Mo Hai's face became gloomy. Although he was the Master of the Mo family, the only martial family in Fengjian City, the greatest deterrent force in the clan was not him but his big brother Mo Yi! Either his status of the Elder of Martial Institution or his level of the ninth layer of divine meridians was powerful enough to dominate an area.
"Tell them to send more hands. We must find my big brother as soon as possible!" Mo Hai shouted.
"Yes, Master!" The Mo's disciples got the order, and quickly took a group of elites to the Dark Forest.
Inside the hall, Mo Hai gazed into space.
During these three days, sometimes Mo Hai thought, did his big brother Mo Yi die? Otherwise, why had they found nothing after the three-day searching? But whenever such ideas came upon him, Mo Hai would shake head to himself. His brother, a strong master at the ninth layer of divine meridians, even in the face of a seventh-grade monster beast, could escape safe and sound. How could he die?
"Big brother, where are you!" Mo Hai murmured.
Staring in the direction of Jiuyang Martial Institution, Mo Hai's eyes were cold. Mo Yi disappeared but Lin Tian was back at Jiuyang Martial Institution safe and sound, which strengthened his hatred towards Lin Tian. Tortured by hatred and anxiety, he would like to cut Lin Tian's flesh and blood with a knife.
...
It was in Jiuyang Martial Institution.
This day was the 63rd day that Lin Tian entered Jiuyang Martial Institution.
In the evening, starlight fell like the Milky Way and gathered in Lin Tian's residence.
Inside the Top Pavilion, Lin Tian looked focused. He ran the Siji Scriptures with all his attention, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and star power into the internal organs to cultivate himself repeatedly.
"Buzz!"
With silver lights around his skin, Lin Tian's breathing became smoother.
The next day, it was dawn when Lin Tian got up. He took some deep breaths facing the sunrise and then went toward the wild wave formation. He went straight into the triple gravity area. With his eyes glittering, Lin Tian took out Regression Origin Sword from the stone ring.
In an instant, Lin Tian felt the weight on his right hand, which was somewhat trembling.
"The feeling of holding a sword in this triple gravity area is totally different from doing that in the outside world," Lin Tian spoke to himself.
After a deep breath, Lin Tian's eyes became serious.
"Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship!" With a whisper, Lin Tian raised his right hand to run the general outline of Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship. He slowly wielded the long sword.
When wielding a sword in this triple gravity area, Lin Tian felt that his right hand was amazingly heavy and his sword-wielding action was extremely slow, as slow as a crawling snail. But even so, Lin Tian did not stop. Everything had a process from bad to good. It was impossible to wield his sword freely at the beginning.
Soon, four hours passed.
It took him more energy to practice the Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship in the wild wave formation than in the daily cultivation, so, although this was his second time into the triple gravity area, Lin Tian stayed here shorter.
Having gone out of the huge formation, Lin Tian slightly gasped for breaths.
"Boy, what's going on today?" Luo Xiao asked curiously.
Yesterday, Lin Tian's face was just slightly pale after he stayed inside for six hours, while today, he looked haggard after four hours inside.
"I've done some intense exercise today," Lin Tian said shyly.
"Intense exercise?" Luo Xiao was confused for a while, and then he realized something, "Did you practice combat craft in the formation?"
"Yes," Lin Tian said.
Luo Xiao nodded, "Well, this is a good idea. A few years ago, some Martial Institution's talented disciples have done so, and the effect was good. If you could smoothly exert combat craft in this wild wave formation, when you return to the outside world, both your understanding of combat craft and the power of it will increase a lot," After a pause, Luo Xiao said, "However, boy, as I told you last time, stop where you should. Don't overdo that. Don't risk your health for excessive diligence, otherwise, it will backfire."
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
Although he was sure of it and didn't need anyone's advice, he was grateful to Luo Xiao's kindness.
Back to the residence, Lin Tian took a break for a few hours before coming to the Top Pavilion again to depict energy-gathering formation patterns for the sake of cultivation.
Time always passed quickly. Lin Tian had spent the maximum of eight days in the wild wave formation this month and soon, when next month came, the practice time in it would be recalculated, which meant he could enter it again.
Lin Tian had been in Jiuyang Martial Institution for sixty-nine days.
"Clang!" In the triple gravity area, the sword howl echoed. Lin Tian exerted the general outline of Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship and wielded one sword movement after another.
Having been in and out of this triple gravity area several times, Lin Tian's body had been fully used to this area. Although the speed and power of his sword were still far less than that in the outside world, they were also strong enough. Each sword attack was with thunder!
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Gradually, as Lin Tian became more and more adapted to the triple gravity area, the power of his sword became stronger. Every time he waved a sword, it was like thundering, not only with the clanking sound of the sword howl but also with the booming sound of thunder.
In the double gravity area, many disciples were surprised at that noise.
"Who is he, the guy practicing combat craft in the triple gravity area!"
"It's Lin Tian!"
"What combat craft is he practicing? Which combat craft can be so powerful even in the triple gravity area? Is it the combat craft of Divine Meridians Stage?"
"Impossible! He's far from the Divine Meridians Stage!"
"But the power..." A lot of people were shocked.
After several hours, Lin Tian felt exhausted, so he put away the sword momentum. His right hand shook and then his Regression Origin Sword returned to the stone ring. As soon as the long sword vanished, Lin Tian felt that his right hand was liberated and became much more relaxed.
When he went out of the wild wave formation, Luo Xiao looked at him, as if Lin Tian were a monster.
"Sir, why do you look at me like that..."
Lin Tian felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Come on, get out of here! Looking at you boy, I feel my cultivation for decades is a joke," Luo Xiao scolded. Lin Tian's practice of the Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship was so conspicuous that even outside the formation, Luo Xiao could feel his horror sword spirit. Even in the triple gravity area, his combat craft was noticeable. If it had been in the outside world, what would it be? Such strength of him was totally beyond the level of the eighth layer of body cultivation!
Lin Tian was embarrassed although he knew Luo Xiao was joking. After a bow, he quickly left.
...
Days went by. Every day, Lin Tian spent four hours on cultivation in the wild wave formation, four hours in the afternoon on resting, and the whole evening on practicing the Siji Scriptures in the Top Pavilion with the help of energy-gathering formation pattern.
Thus, seven days later, Lin Tian had fully got used to the triple gravity area. Even in such a gravity environment, he could exert the Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship smoothly and each sword attack was strong and amazing. During these seven days, the practice of the Vigorous Thunder Swordsmanship in the wild wave formation had gained some good results. He had understood 20% of this Swordsmanship.
Soon, another three days passed.
One day, Lin Tian felt the tension in the whole Martial Institution when he walked around.
"The tryout for interior disciples is only ten days away, and I wonder who will be lucky enough to enter Interior Ministry this time."
"Lucky? If you want to enter the Interior Ministry, you can only rely on your strength, not by luck!"
"That's right."
Some disciples of the Martial Institution were whispering.
Lin Tian finally knew where the tension around the Martial Institution came from. It came from the oncoming tryout for interior disciples.
When it came to the tryout for interior disciples, Lin Tian inevitably thought of Zhou Hao. He suddenly sneered. On the day of the qualifying trial of the exterior ministry, Zhou Hao planned to kill him in Qingfeng Mountain, which was sinister and cruel! Lin Tian couldn't forget that day! And the day the tryout for interior disciples began happened to be their battle day!
"Lin Tian." A familiar voice came not far away.
Lin Tian turned his head and saw Su Shu trotting towards him.
In a long white dress and with her hair in punches plus her pretty face, Su Shu looked like a little princess today.
"What's wrong, little Su Shu?" Lin Tian asked.
"Little Su Shu?" Su Shu gritted teeth, "Call me Sister Su. I am the senior apprentice!"
Lin Tian rolled his eyes, unwilling to call her like that.
Su Shu responded with a humph. Then she said seriously, "The tryout for interior disciples will come in ten days. That is also the battle day between you and Zhou Hao. What's your level now?"
"The peak eighth layer of body cultivation," Lin Tian said.
"The peak eighth layer of body cultivation!" Su Shu could not believe it, "I have just reached the eighth layer of body cultivation and your level is higher than me now?"
Su Shu was very surprised at Lin Tian's words. Only after two months, Lin Tian had climbed from the fifth layer of body cultivation to the peak eighth layer!
"Although you're a nine-star talent, that's amazing and abnormal!"
Su Shu was stunned.
"Yes, I am so talented." Lin Tian shrugged. He looked at Su Shu and quipped, "Well, how to say that? Anyone stronger than you is your master. I don't want to take advantage of you, so you don't need to call me master. Just call me Brother Lin."
"In your dreams!" Su Shu was angry, and she kicked Lin Tian.
After that, Su Shu sighed.
"What's going on?" Lin Tian was a little confused.
Su Shu rolled her eyes, "I have two news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to listen to first?"
Lin Tian was speechless. This girl was naughty.
"The good news first," Lin Tian said.
Su Shu said, "The good news is that Mo Yi has been missing for nearly a month. Neither Jiuyang Martial Institution nor the Mo family can find a trace of him, as if he had evaporated from the world. You and the Mo family are enemies. Are you happy with this news?"
At first, Mo Hai said Mo Yi had something to busy with, but near the tryout, the Martial Institution had more affairs to deal with and Mo Yi still didn't appear to help. When Mu Qing and Shi Dong called at Mo's Mansion again, Mo Hai was unable to cover it up and had to tell the truth. Su Shu heard it from Mu Qing.
Lin Tian pretended to be surprised, "Mo Yi is missing?"
"Yes, he's missing, without any news from him." Su Shu nodded.
"That's really good news." Lin Tian laughed.
Mo Yi had been dragged into that terrible bloody crevice, and he must have been dead so naturally. No one could hear from or find him.
Looking at Su Shu, Lin Tian said, "And the bad news is?"
Su Shu curled her lips and said, "Zhou Hao has stepped into the Divine Meridians Stage."
