uh...it's too tired...
"I heard that one of your senior brothers shined in this inner court challenge, what's his name?"
"Brother's name is Gu Jingchen."
"It's a good name, an excellent martial artist, and a talented spiritualist. You two work hard. With time, maybe you can become a powerful combination." He Haogan nodded, "Has your master ever been? Have you told you about the reason for the establishment of this Rainbow Academy?"
"The reason?" Cheng Yifan shook his head, "Although the master never mentioned it, the sect master of the disciple's sect did mention it. He said that it was because the demons were rampant recently, in order to better fight against the demons, protect the people, and promote the various countries. It was only because of the friendly exchanges between them that the Rainbow Academy was established."
After parting with the master in the imperial city that day, the master went to the Sunlight Country, while he and his senior went back to the Sifang Sect. After a few days, the next thing happened. It was Zhang Wenyu who asked them to come to Tianhong directly. Due to the sudden incident, the master may not know about his departure to Tianhong Academy.
Maybe the master recently returned to Qixia Country and only learned about it, so he sent the letter to He Haoqian, right?
"You only know one, but you don't know the other..." He Haoqian shook his head. "The demons have been rampant for many years, why is this year so different? Why do you have to establish a Rainbow Academy to gather talents from all over the world?"
"Disciple doesn't know." Cheng Yifan shook his head blankly.
To be honest, Cheng Yifan had only just passed through for half a year, not to mention he didn't know the situation of the demon before, even he didn't know the situation of the demon now.
"In the past hundreds of years, the four countries have swept the snow in front of their doors and kept their brooms in their own hands, making the inheritance weaker and humbler, but the demons have grown stronger and stronger. Every few decades, a king will be born to lead the demons to attack the city. And caused a large-scale shòucháo. Do you know how many warriors were lost in the last shòucháo, and how many cities suffered?"
Cheng Yifan was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a word, so he could only continue to shake his head.
"We lost 100,000 people... and that time King Shòu was just a seventh-level demon." He Hao sighed heavily. "Not long ago, there was news that an eighth-level demon had been found..."
"What?!" Cheng Yifan was shocked, the appearance of the eighth-level demon shòu means that it is likely to become the next shòu king.
The eighth-level demon shòu, whose strength is already comparable to a martial artist in the Yuanwu realm, coupled with his tall body and hard skin, its destructive power is comparable to the super monster Godzilla in the movie...
"You should have heard of the Lingwu Competition, right?"
"Yes, the master told me about this and said it would be held in eight years."
He Haoqian sighed again, "The Lingwu Contest was originally intended to inspire countries to cultivate talents and give those young people a goal to forge ahead...but...it backfired..."
In the passage of time, the original intention of the Lingwu Competition has gradually changed, and it has become a stage for various countries to compete for strength, and it has also become a tool for certain people to gain benefits.
Just like Du Yuancai back in the day, he was simply a black-hearted pig and a dog. He betrayed his teacher and his country for a little benefit, but such a person, there are still those ulterior motives of the family willing to accept and reuse. ...
Those so-called noble families and great clans regard the inheritance of martial arts and prescriptions as more important than fate, and there is even a saying that only direct line disciples are passed on, not collateral lineages. Many talented young people were buried, and the future of Lingwu Continent became darker.
If it continues to develop like this, the entire Lingwu Continent will only be suffocated by these people. Martial arts and exercises cannot be inherited, and there are fewer and fewer high-grade spiritual planters.
These old men have already set the sun, and the next shòucháo is coming, no one can say whether they will be able to survive this crisis safely. They must pass on what they have learned throughout their lives before the next shòucháo arrives!
And such a crisis can only be understood by the most powerful people in their countries...
Therefore, they jointly established the Rainbow Academy in order to inherit and cultivate the next generation.
They don't know when the next shòucháo will come, but there is obviously not much time left for them, it may be two years, it may be a year, and it may be faster...
The reason why He Haoqian revealed so much to Cheng Yifan is because he said too many good things about this child in 123 words, and also said that his talent is rare in the world. He Haoqian still trusts his old friend, and the old friend values this disciple. , even surpassed Han Fen... and through observation, he found that this child did not look like an ordinary child at all. He was even very calm, and he was indeed a good seedling.
He decided to put some pressure on the child appropriately to see how far he could grow. If he hadn't let himself down, then he would have taught him everything he had promised his old friend.
Chapter 188 Growth
Cheng Yifan already understood what He Haoqian wanted to express.
In the face of the impending shòucháo and the demon king who is as high as the eighth level, no one knows what the final outcome will be, but he knows that even if humans win, they will pay a very painful price. Like He Haoqian, Luo Lao, Wu Lao and other seniors who are among the best in the entire Lingwu Continent, don't know how many will survive.
The precious knowledge mastered by their predecessors could not be passed down because of the brooms of the major families. The competition and strife between the families make it impossible for real geniuses to grow, and there are fewer and fewer real masters, all of which make the situation more and more sinister.
Once the shòucháo erupts, humanity will be hit by an unimaginable shock.
Cheng Yifan can understand the thoughts of He Haoqian and their seniors. He was a person who had been struggling for several years in the apocalypse. When facing the zombie cháo, that sense of despair would also make people feel very helpless. .
What's more, even if he doesn't care about the life and death of strangers, his parents and siblings at home can't be ignored. Even for them, he is willing to work hard for it.
"Okay, you can go back and come back in three days." He Haoqian waved his hand and let Cheng Yifan go back, and at the same time warned him, "Don't tell anyone about this."
Today, he has said enough, and he has instilled too much at once. He is also afraid that this child will not be able to bear it. Although he looks mature and stable, and his body has grown under the influence of Diliu, his mind is still a child after all.
If He Haoqian knew that the 'child' in front of him actually contained the soul of a thirty-year-old man from another world, he didn't know what to think.
************
When he came out of the medicine hall, Cheng Yifan really felt a pressure. The crisis was about to come, and his strength was still too weak, whether it was medicine refining or martial arts.
"Xiao Fan?" Gu Jingchen happened to be on his way back to his house, and when he saw Cheng Yifan walking with his head down with a worried look, he was about to pass him, but he didn't even look at himself. It was so strange. So he called out to him.
"Ah?" Cheng Yifan heard someone calling him, and then he came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked forward blankly, which made Gu Jingchen feel angry and funny.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Jingchen rubbed his head hard.
"Senior brother, I..." Cheng Yifan opened his mouth and didn't know how to speak. What Master He said was not allowed to be told to others, but senior brother is not someone else? Should I tell my brother? But it doesn't seem to be of any use to say it... It can only make the seniors and disciples more troubled and stressful...
"What? Is there anything else I can't tell my senior brother?" I don't know why, seeing Cheng Yifan's hesitant and a little guilty, Gu Jingchen was inexplicably a little uneasy, and he grabbed his hand and dragged him towards him. house to walk.
"Senior brother?" Cheng Yifan was dragged by Gu Jingchen and staggered for a few steps, then followed him obediently, and was dragged into his room like a little daughter-in-law.
"Sit." Gu Jingchen pressed the person on the seat and went to pour the water, leaving Cheng Yifan alone to look at his room curiously.
There is no difference between Gu Jingchen's room and Cheng Yifan's. At most, there is only one less medicinal fragrance and one more ink fragrance.
On Gu Jingchen's table are pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a booklet he has never seen before, which is written in vigorous and powerful fonts-Xiaoyao Jiandian.
It is very suitable for senior brother!
When Gu Jingchen came out with the boiled tea, he saw a silly smile on this little fool's face, and he couldn't help laughing too.
"Come on, drink water!" Gu Jingchen put the tea cup in front of him.
"It's delicious! Thank you, brother!" Cheng Yifan took a sip of the tea cup. He didn't know how to taste tea, but he poured it out, and it was delicious! snort! It's just so relentless!
Gu Jingchen shook his head amusingly, sat down beside him, looked at him seriously and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"I……"
"Ok?"
"That person is not allowed to say..."
"Oh? What? Xiaofan now has little secrets that he can't tell?"
qaq The senior brother who doesn't laugh is so scary...
Facing Gu Jingchen's cowardice in a second, he finally obediently replaced He Hao with everything he said...
"It turned out to be the case." Gu Jingchen's face also became solemn. Sure enough, his hunch was correct. There was indeed a deeper reason for the establishment of Tianhong Academy.
On the one hand, he admired these masters who were willing to share and pass on all knowledge, and on the other hand, he was worried about the shòucháo who was about to come.
"We have to find a way to tell the master and let them prepare early." What Gu Jingchen misses most is undoubtedly his mother in the distance and his master who treats him like a father.
"But Master He doesn't allow rumors... and we are too far away now, the communication talisman can't be contacted anymore..." The communication talismans they brought with them that can contact the sect are not of high grade, so here they are. It has since failed.
"Then find a way to have someone bring the letter back!"
"But... we can't go out at will, right?" Tianhong Academy has restrictions everywhere. Although it is mainly to protect the school, it also restricts the actions of their disciples.
Gu Jingchen fell silent.
It's true that they can't go out at will now, which is probably one of the reasons why He Haogan told Cheng Yifan about the matter at ease.
Gu Jingchen sighed heavily, calmed down and thought about it carefully. Even if he told Zhang Wenyu about it, it probably wouldn't help. After all, there were tens of thousands of terrifying shòucháo, and not a small Sifang sect could resist. Got it...
And Cheng Yifan also said that these masters are ready to sacrifice to resist shòucháo. All they can do now is to seize all the time to learn and master the knowledge taught by these masters, and grow up as soon as possible. .
It should be a few more years...
