Chapter 126 It’s time to show real technology
After riding the high-speed train for nearly two hours, Ye Qingzhou finally arrived at Star City and got off at South Station.
"Hey, Teacher Xu, I've arrived at Star City."
"Having someone pick me up? No, I can just take a taxi myself."
"Don't worry, you know my strength. If you meet bad guys, what you should worry about is whether they can leave the whole body behind."
Ye Qingzhou hung up the phone and refused Xu Lan's kindness to have someone pick him up, mainly because he didn't like restraint and useless social interactions.
Rather than owed favors to others for the trivial matter of leading the way, he would rather take a taxi himself. It wouldn't cost much anyway, so why bother with someone he doesn't know?
Outside the station door, Ye Qingzhou took out his mobile phone and called a car through the taxi app.
The car arrived quickly. Through the car window, Ye Qingzhou saw two beautiful girls sitting in the back seat. They were both young and it was obvious from their dress that they were high school students who were inexperienced in the world.
Ye Qingzhou glanced at it without looking at it. He was in a hurry and didn't mind carpooling with others at the moment, so he held the sword bag and sat directly on the passenger seat.
However, one of the girls seemed to recognize him, and asked tentatively with a tone of doubt: "Ye Qingzhou?"
When Ye Qingzhou heard this, he turned around with a stunned expression: "Who are you?"
"I'm Li Yan'er. After all, I was my classmate in junior high school for three years. You won't have forgotten me, right?"
Li Yan'er pouted her little mouth, and her tone was a bit complaining, but her eyebrows were curved and the smile on her face did not diminish. It was obvious that she was not really angry.
"Well, I remembered, you are Li Yan'er."
Ye Qingzhou nodded seriously and indeed found a familiar figure from the memory of the original owner.
But the alienated and unfamiliar attitude still made Li Yaner's pretty face flash, and she muttered angrily: "Good guy, you really forgot about me."
Then she couldn't help but take a closer look at Ye Qingzhou, and said in surprise: "It feels like you have changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."
Ye Qingzhou was bragging about not drafting, and praised Li Yan'er against his will: "You are much more beautiful than before, that's why I didn't recognize you."
"Hmph, I see you have clearly forgotten about me, an old classmate!"
Li Yan'er obviously didn't believe Ye Qingzhou's lies.
Then Li Yaner introduced her friend to Ye Qingzhou: "She is my classmate, Lu Jingyao."
"Hello, handsome guy."
Lu Jingyao greeted Ye Qingzhou warmly. She was enthusiastic and cheerful, with a sweet smile and a youthful flavor.
Ye Qingzhou also nodded towards her: "Hello."
Li Yan'er glanced at the sword bag in Ye Qingzhou's arms and was a little surprised: "Being able to take the high-speed train with a sword, have you also become a trainee martial artist?"
In Dongji Country, professional martial arts masters enjoy many social benefits, including that the martial arts masters themselves can take public transportation such as airplanes, high-speed rails, and buses for free.
In addition, it is free to go to the hospital for treatment, all of which are reimbursed by the state. When buying a house, you can get a bank loan, obtain a household registration, etc., and there are countless hidden benefits. This shows that the official support for martial arts practitioners is very strong. How big.
Although trainee martial artists do not enjoy the same social welfare benefits as professional martial artists, they still have many privileges. For example, when taking public transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rails, they can carry their own weapons through security checks.
Because in the early days, I was attacked when a martial arts master's weapon was being transported.
In addition, many martial arts masters' personal weapons were lost during shipment due to various reasons.
You must know that martial arts masters' portable weapons are all specially customized, and the materials are precious. Once lost, you can't buy the same one with the insurance compensation.
The economic losses are secondary. The key is that without a suitable weapon, who loses the game?
So over time, the state simply relaxed controls in this area.
After all, it makes little sense to restrict martial artists and not allow them to carry weapons on public transportation.
Facing ordinary people, if a martial artist wants to kill someone, they don't need to use any weapons at all. They can kill people with their bare hands and cut them into pieces.
In this case, it is better to simply relax the control.
Ye Qingzhou nodded and replied: "Yes, martial arts practice is very interesting."
Lu Jingyao intervened in the topic and asked with a smile: "Ye Qingzhou, what level are you at now? Li Yan'er is at the elite level now. He was almost selected as a martial arts rookie from Mingde. He is very powerful."
< br>
"Elite level?"
Ye Qingzhou's mind was full of questions. In Lingyun Cave, the weakest people he saw were all geniuses, and he had long regarded ordinary geniuses as rotten fish and rotten shrimps.
As for the elite level?
He almost forgot that this level existed.
It had been more than a year since they had seen each other. Li Yan'er knew nothing about Ye Qingzhou's current situation: "Why, are you also an elite level now?"
Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "I'm not an elite."
At this time, he was obviously not a peerless talent that could be measured by normal levels.
To put it simply, it is Ye Qingzhou's own level, while other martial arts apprentices use another level system.
There are a total of four levels of martial arts apprentices, or martial arts apprentices. In addition to the highest genius level, there are apprentice level, trainee level and elite level.
The apprenticeship level is the stage for laying the foundation. Any elementary martial arts posture that can be practiced to the entry level is the apprenticeship level.
The trainee level is an introduction to all six basic postures, that is, the trainee level. This score is considered qualified for high school graduates.
The elite level represents outstanding students. Those who can reach the level of proficiency in any of the six basic postures can be considered the elite among high school students, basically belonging to the elite level.
Even though Ye Qingzhou is surrounded by geniuses, elites are not as good as dogs. In fact, there are very few elite-level martial arts apprentices. They belong to the top twenty students in each school, and their proportion is extremely low.
It can be seen that Li Yan'er can reach the elite level, which is already very dazzling in the eyes of ordinary people.
That's why Lu Jingyao is proud to have a friend like Li Yan'er.
After listening to Ye Qingzhou's words, Lu Jingyao smiled and encouraged: "Then you have to work harder. If you have time, maybe you can ask Li Yan'er for more advice."
Ye Qingzhou could feel that Lu Jingyao did not mean any harm when he said these words, so he just smiled: "I will."
Then he looked at Li Yan'er: "If we have a chance, we can discuss it."
"Okay."
Li Yan'er didn't think much and agreed.
The three of them then got off the bus at Jilei Mountain together. It was obvious that everyone had the same destination.
It's just that when Ye Qingzhou came to Jilei Mountain, he was qualified to enter the secret realm.
As for Li Yan'er, she came here mainly to attend classes.
"Ye Qingzhou, your weapon is a sword, you should major in swordsmanship."
"Yeah."
"In the past few days, there will be a famous swordsman giving lessons in Jilei Mountain. You can go and have a look. Maybe you can learn something and benefit a lot."
Li Yaner majored in Lei Shi and was good at swordsmanship. Her weapons were double swords. Her martial arts skills were mainly light, dexterous and quick and changeable moves.
She came to Jilei Mountain this time just for further study.
The vitality concentration of Jilei Mountain is much higher than that of the outside world, and the interior is divided into three major areas.
The outermost open area is at the foot of the mountain. Basically, any martial artist with elite-level strength or above can queue up to make an appointment and enter the practice.
Entry is restricted from the second floor. Unless you are invited, you are not allowed to enter even if you are eager to see it.
As for the core area, it is located on the top of the mountain, where a towering jujube tree grows, which can trigger thunder in the sky. It has been bathed in thunder and lightning countless times without dying, and it has already possessed extremely high spirituality.
But because of this, the magnetic field near the jujube tree is abnormal, and there are often flashes of lightning, making it very dangerous. Let alone ordinary people, even martial arts masters cannot approach it at will.
Every month, Jilei Mountain will only release twenty places, allowing the best martial arts geniuses to practice and quickly improve their cultivation with the help of the lightning-strike wood properties of jujube trees.
It was here that Miao Yi broke through his thunder power to the realm of Dacheng, thus possessing powerful combat power.
If it weren't for Ye Qingzhou's appearance, Miao Yi would be the number one genius in Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. It can be seen that Jilei Mountain is really a training holy land for civilian martial arts masters.
Li Yaner was obviously not here for the first time, so she introduced the specific situation of Jilei Mountain to Ye Qingzhou: "There are many martial arts schools here. If you perform well, you might receive an invitation. Like For civilian martial artists like us, it might be a good choice to join a certain martial arts school.”
After finishing speaking, Li Yan'er asked Ye Qingzhou's opinion again: "Have you ever thought about which school you want to join?" "No."
Ye Qingzhou shook his head directly. The main reason was that he now lacked neither skills nor resources. Not only was there no benefit to joining the martial arts school, but he might have to work for others in the future.
If given a choice, Ye Qingzhou still prefers a free life.
After all, martial arts schools, to put it nicely, can provide all kinds of help and support to martial arts practitioners from civilian backgrounds, but in the final analysis, this is an organization established by people.
As long as it is an organization, there will be exploitation and oppression from top to bottom. Therefore, unless Ye Qingzhou is invited to be the leader or elder, Ye Qingzhou will be too lazy to join any organization or force.
Some people should not be dogs. There are only obligations but no benefits. Why bother?
Ye Qingzhou is not a cheap person. He has no such hobby of masochism.
Li Yan'er didn't know what Ye Qingzhou was thinking. She just felt that fighting alone would be a bit weak after all, so she had to advise: "If you have the opportunity, it would be better to join some famous and prestigious martial arts schools. .”
Lu Jingyao also echoed: "Yes, how about you and Yan'er join the Shenxiao Sword Sect. After all, we are old classmates, and we can take care of each other."
After saying that, she winked at Li Yan'er - 'Sister, I can only help you so far. ’
Li Yan'er gave her a blank look - 'If you pull red strings randomly, you will have too much trouble! ’
At this time, a figure hurriedly walked towards this side. The person was tall, had long arms, walked steadily, and had a long breath. He was obviously a strong master.
Ye Qingzhou didn't look back, but just used his cicada sense to sense it a little, and he already understood in his heart: 'A genius-level weakling is about the same strength as Miao Yi. ’
"Junior sister Li."
The person who came spoke clearly knew Li Yan'er.
"Senior Brother Yuan."
Li Yan'er responded politely, but deliberately kept a distance from the other party.
Yuan Zhiyi is one of the inner disciples of the Shenxiao Sword Sect stationed in Jilei Mountain. He is a native of Star City and a sophomore student at Central South University. He is currently preparing for the professional assessment.
A top student from a prestigious school, coupled with genius-level martial arts training, and the identity of an inner disciple of the Shenxiao Sword Sect, Yuan Zhiyi holds the script of a winner in life in his hands.
His future is so promising that he has already surpassed 99.9% of the people in Dongji Kingdom.
It is not difficult at all for such a person to find a partner.
However, King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no intention.
Yuan Zhiyi fell in love with the gentle and charming Li Yan'er, but Li Yan'er had no idea about him. Every time he talked to her, he always maintained a polite but deliberately distant attitude.
Yuan Zhiyi saw this and was anxious in his heart.
Today, he heard that Li Yan'er, a junior sister, was coming to Ji Lei Mountain. He immediately ran to greet her proactively, only to see a boy standing next to Li Yan'er, talking and laughing with his beloved girl.
I can't bear it!
Yuan Zhiyi stepped forward to say hello gracefully, then his sharp eyes fell on Ye Qingzhou, pretending not to care and asked: "Who is this?"
Li Yan'er hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "His name is Ye Qingzhou, he is my junior high school classmate. He happened to be coming to Jilei Mountain today. We met him when we were carpooling on the way."
"That's it..."
Yuan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became vigilant. After all, old classmates are the easiest to become old friends, and he did not dare to be careless at all.
No, I must let my junior sister know that I am her Prince Charming!
It's time to show off your real skills!
As long as they see how powerful I am, junior sister will definitely fall in love with me deeply!
Yuan Zhiyi looked at Ye Qingzhou arrogantly, glanced at the three swords on Ye Qingzhou's waist, first smiled contemptuously, and then pretended to be calm and said: "You are a sword practitioner, right? Although I specialize in swordsmanship, swordsmanship is just It’s so-so, but it should be enough to give you some advice. Do you want us to discuss it?”
Ye Qingzhou blinked in shock, then shook his head: "Forget it, you are too weak, I am not interested."
"Huh???"
Yuan Zhiyi was so angry that the veins on his forehead sprouted: "Am I weak? Do you know that I am an inner disciple of the Shenxiao Sword Sect? How dare you say that I am weak!"
Ye Qingzhou looked at Yuan Zhiyi with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the weak chicken of the Shenxiao Sword Sect not a weak chicken?"
"You are looking for death!"
Yuan Zhiyi pressed the knife with his hand, but could not suppress the boiling anger in his heart. Ye Qingzhou's words were really too irritating.
He is a weakling who keeps his mouth shut, but I am a martial arts genius!
"Brother, please wait a moment, there must be some misunderstanding here."
Seeing Yuan Zhiyi about to attack Ye Qingzhou, Li Yan'er was immediately frightened. She quickly stood in front of Ye Qingzhou, then turned back with an urgent expression: "Ye Qingzhou, please apologize quickly."
< br>
Ye Qingzhou looked confused: "Why do you need to apologize? Did I say something wrong?"
"You guy!"
Li Yan'er stamped her feet in anger. Where had the submissive and kind-hearted Ye Qingzhou gone?
Now this old classmate has not only changed his temperament, but his personality is as if he was a different person, and he talks so wildly.
"Junior sister, don't stop me!"
Yuan Zhiyi was furious at this moment and glared at Ye Qingzhou: "He is not only insulting me now, he is also insulting the entire Shenxiao Sword Sect!"
Zheng~
Pulling out the sword from its sheath, Yuan Zhiyi's eyes were blazing with anger. He pointed at Ye Qingzhou and scolded: "Boy, I will let you understand today that the name of the Sword Sect cannot be insulted!"
Thunder Force, a mid-level martial skill in the Dacheng realm, Thunder Splitting Slash!
When the sword was slashed out, lightning flashed between the blades, and the power of thunder seemed to be able to tear apart everything. It was roaring with strong winds and was extremely powerful.
Yuan Zhiyi has completely understood the changes in his moves and can freely move and retract them at will. This slash shows his strong cultivation and superb sword skills.
Even if there is a mountain in front of him at this moment, he will split it with one knife!
Unfortunately, such an attack was too weak for Ye Qingzhou, who had already developed an immortal golden body and a superb mountain form.
Ye Qingzhou yawned lazily, then raised his hand and flicked his finger at the incoming sword light.
Ding~
Ye Qingzhou's fingers gently flicked on Yuan Zhiyi's long knife, making a crisp sound of gold and jade clashing.
Then he saw a look of horror on Yuan Zhiyi's face. He intuitively felt that his knife had not been cut on his finger, but on the body of a speeding dump truck.
The unparalleled power was unmatched. His whole body of thunder was directly blown away and shattered, and the tiger's mouth instantly cracked open and blood flowed out.
Yuan Zhiyi's long knife flew out dozens of meters away, and after landing, it was inserted into a large stone. At the same time, the blade was still shaking and buzzing.
"I said, you are too weak."
After Ye Qingzhou finished speaking, he ignored Yuan Zhiyi who was stunned on the spot, but walked straight past him and started walking along the road to the top of the mountain.
Li Yan'er and Lu Jingyao, who were still standing there, were dumbfounded.
Especially Li Yan'er, she was just thinking about how to stop Yuan Zhiyi and save Ye Qingzhou, but in the blink of an eye, her senior brother was defeated?
And failed so miserably...
Lu Jingyao grabbed Li Yan'er's arm: "Oh my God, is your old classmate so fierce?"
Li Yaner smiled helplessly: "I didn't know, he wasn't that powerful back then."
Originally he wanted to act cool in front of his beloved junior sister, but in the end he cheated on her. Yuan Zhiyi felt that he had lost all face and left in despair.
Lu Jingyao snickered and poked her friend with her fingertips: "By the way, you two are quite a match. You are such a talented man and a beautiful woman."
"Can you please stop messing around with each other? Ye Qingzhou and I are just classmates."
"But don't you guys get along well with each other?"
"You and I also get along very well. Do we also want to be a couple?"
"Hehe, if you like it, I have no objection."
