Chapter 337 Special Market Competition (13)
The black market, or as it is now called, is the competition in Xuanye City's special market, which is divided into two categories: youth group and adult group.
The youth group is the level of major middle schools. Most of the contestants are at the peak of spiritual enlightenment. There are occasionally one or two who are new to Qi refining, but at most they are only at the third level of Qi refining.
The adult category is different. Most of the contestants are preparatory students from various colleges. The minimum qualifications are intermediate Qi refining, which is the fourth level of Qi refining. In fact, most of the contestants are Qi refining students. A monk who has reached the sixth level of Qi, or even broken through to the highest level, and has spiritual consciousness.
Nianquan's strength has recently advanced to the level of vitality, reaching the peak of Kailing.
For Tian Linggen, this is natural. The previous backwardness in cultivation was just a result of stunted development due to lack of resources and no one to teach.
Now that Nian Quan has mastered the sword intention and has Ruchao cultivation, he basically has no opponents in the youth group.
Even if they meet some young geniuses who are as talented as Nian Quan but have already broken through to Qi refining, facing Nian Quan with the blessing of sword intent, most of them are no match.
In the final analysis, the advantage of refining qi compared to inner breath is that they can master spiritual power and activate a variety of real spells that are lethal and threatening. They even have various means of flying by the wind and blessing the body with golden light. It's not just a small technique that can only use your own essence.
But the sword intention itself is the awe-inspiring spirit, and the sword energy derived from it is also a special spiritual evil. It is very useful even in the foundation building stage. It can break through spells and barriers, and even attack enemies. Advanced foundation building will help.
The advantage of the initial stage of Qi refining does not exist at all for Nianquan.
With this, Nianquan won the first place in the single group in the joint examination of ten schools, which greatly embarrassed No. 3 Middle School. The principal He Yongzhi did not break his promise and gave Nianquan extremely generous training in accordance with the contract. resources, and various prizes are exclusive to him.
The only thing Nianquan has to do is to assist No. 3 Middle School in various promotions and participate in various competitions that No. 3 Middle School requires him to participate in.
This competition in the Xuanye City Special Market is also included in the contract.
"I may not be able to take first place this time."
During the shuttle, Nian Quan and Principal He sat in the back seat.
Looking at the gradually smaller streets and tall buildings outside the window, with no one else around, Nianquan's words were simpler and more straightforward: "Everyone in No. 1 Middle School is either a Tianlinggen or a descendant of the Zifu Immortal, and they basically all practice When I get angry, my cultivation will overwhelm me.”
“And their family, the worst, has foundation-building monks to guide them and provide resources... Even if I have sword intent, they also have advanced skills.
If it were other small competitions, Nianquan would definitely fight hard for his own training resources, and he would not say anything that would destroy his morale.
It should be noted that in various competitions, there have been cases where people at the third level of Qi Refining were defeated by Kai Ling. Although that was because Kai Ling's side had True Spirit bloodline, it also showed that the gap between the first level of Qi Refining and Kai Ling was not the same. Nothing too big to cross.
But the students in No. 1 Middle School are not at the same level as other schools.
Xuanye City No. 1 Middle School has gathered the most talented people in the entire Xuanye City. Each student has a secret method passed down from his family and has his own unique talents and skills. In the past, he did not participate in any college entrance examinations or various competitions.
This is not only because the rewards from those competitions and tests are probably not as much as their pocket money, but also because each of them is a proud man with high aspirations, and all their goals are how to enter the Fourth Avenue Academy and become a The nominal successors of the four immortal souls in the Tianyuan world will naturally not waste time.
But if they appear on the field, they will be crushed without any suspense in ordinary competitions. However, according to past interviews, those students from No. 1 Middle School are very disappointed even if they win the championship. They think that participating in the competition is a waste of time and is not as good as anything. The internal examinations in their schools are completely unable to provide them with the pressure they want.
The special market competition should not be favored by them.
But this time, in order to restore the popularity, the special market took out a spiritual weapon, and important figures from the Supervisory Bureau and Luofu appeared.
Students from No. 1 Middle School cannot turn a blind eye to such a generous reward.
"You don't need to be first."
Principal Gu has obviously considered this issue. He squinted his eyes and the light flashed in his eyes. He was obviously communicating with people and collecting information: "Top ten. This mission only requires you to enter the top ten and show your ability." It should not be difficult for you to reveal your "Heart Sea Sword Intention". "The nature of your Heart Sea Sword Intent is very advanced. It is derived from the enlightenment of the Heavenly Spirit Root. As long as you can attract the attention of the big people above." When it comes to you, whether it’s Supervisor Tian Bureau or Luofu, it will definitely not be a loss for you or me.”
"Yes." After hearing this, Nianquan lowered his eyelashes, his eyes were deep and did not show any emotion.
Supervisory Bureau...
If you want to defeat an opponent and destroy an organization, the fastest way is definitely not to fight against it. A powerful organization, even if it is corrupt, can still use huge resources and power to destroy its opponents, while powerful enough opponents may resurrect it from the ashes.
If you really want to defeat the opponent...you have to get into it.
Supervisory Bureau and Luofu... This is indeed a good opportunity to enter them openly.
During the exchange, Nianquan and Principal Gu had already arrived at the special market.
The abandoned urban area and unfinished buildings around the special market have been bulldozed and completely rebuilt. This place is still a shadowy place where the consciousness is difficult to escape, but the Supervisory Bureau has understood that instead of ignoring it, let him become a place for other forces to insert into the mystery. The problem with Night City is that it is better to take this place into your own hands and do things that are obviously not easy to do.
Human testing, experimental drugs, irresponsible transformation, magic weapons, assassination commissions... On the surface, there are too many things that cannot be done. In this case, it is better to let the 'black market' and the special market become a gray area.
Here, people can buy magic weapons and resources that cannot be bought in the general market at cheap and tax-free prices... Similarly, here, many things that theoretically violate the "law of Tao" can be done freely. .
Nianquan watched the shuttle slowly land at the shuttle stop, where the head teacher of No. 3 Middle School and other contestants were waiting for the arrival of the general and principal.
"Captain Nian is here!" "Hello principal!"
As soon as the shuttle came out, there was a slightly noisy young voice.
As the leader of the No. 3 Middle School, Nian Quan has consolidated his position by winning several championships. Now, even those who looked down on him in the past and didn't think highly of him can only admit his strength and uniqueness.
Not to mention the male and female students who have become his fans, even the children of big families, although secretly still jealous, will still put on a smile on the surface to welcome his arrival.
Nianquan didn't care that they continued to smear and insult him behind his back, just like he didn't care about the barking of dogs. In fact, he didn't even pay much attention to the cheering and welcoming voices. These were too vulgar. He matured too quickly and had passed the stage where he would be influenced by the voices of people who didn't care.
This kind of indifferent attitude is even enjoyed by the opponents on the field. Every time Nianquan cuts his opponent to the ground with a sword, he never says anything more or does anything to support the opponent. action, but directly turned back and stepped down, or the referee raised his hand and declared victory.
Some people think that Nianquan's temperament is too arrogant and cold, which is not a good thing, but others think that a swordsman should be sharp and cold. This is the behavior of someone who understands the meaning of the sword at a young age.
"Nian Captain, can you spar with me later?" "Captain, do you have time later? Can we visit this new market together?"
"Yes. No time." The team headed towards the arena area on the fifth underground floor. Nianquan responded to the words of other team members calmly.
The special city competition has two competition formats: team competition and individual competition. The results of the third middle school in the team competition are average, but not bad. Sometimes in order to hide the trump card's tricks, the results of the team competition may be strategically abandoned. The highlight is still in the half In the individual competition a month later.
In fact, the teammates of No. 3 Middle School have long been accustomed to Nianquan's temperament of being unable to reply even if he asks ten questions. But no matter what, it is better for Nianquan to be the captain than those children from big families to be the captain and then take everyone. They all treat him like a dog, so even if Nian Quan has a cold face, they will only sigh that he is really temperamental.
However, suddenly, Nianquan stopped halfway.
For a moment, the No. 3 Middle School team walking around him also paused slightly.
Nianquan looked at a figure not far away with some confusion. He felt a familiar aura, but he couldn't be sure.
On the other side, An Jing also felt something. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Nianquan.
