Tang Yue looked at the bow knot held by Zhuang Yi's hand. The workmanship was very exquisite. He could see the intentions of the person who gave the gift. Tang Yue joked: "I received a gift from a girl. The beautiful bow seems to be a dexterity. Where's your girl."

Zhuang Yi looked at the bow, then glanced at Lei Xiu, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a very cute girl, but it is a pity that such a beautiful thing was not given to me, but to Lei Xiu."

As Zhuang Yi said, he brought the bow to Lei Xiu's face. Lei Xiu's beard touched the lace hanging from the bow, and he immediately took a step back in disgust.

"I heard that your first soul beast was a three-line butterfly. It has been raised in Boda for a hundred years and no one can accept it. Unfortunately, I never saw it. If I could not see how you did it, I would be lucky." Tang Yue looked at the bow and seemed to mention it casually.

After hearing this, Zhuang Yi suddenly remembered that Tang Yue was a dual-line soul master. He turned his head and looked at Tang Yue and said, "That's my luck. In fact, it is no different from the process of subduing ordinary soul beasts. I heard that seniors have also subdued dual-line soul beasts. , And after the third level, the process is bound to be much more dangerous than mine."

"Well, let's discuss with each other when we have time." Tang Yue smiled and walked to Zhuang Yi, "It's almost time for dinner, do you want to eat with me?"

—

"Okay." Zhuang Yi's stomach was also a little hungry. He, Lei Xiu and Tang Yue walked to the canteen together.

It's already a holiday now. Because many students choose to work in the school or nearby cities, Allen has more people staying at school than Boda. When Zhuang Yi and Tang Yue walked into the cafeteria, there were already twos and threes. Sitting inside, chatting while waiting for dinner.

Seeing Tang Yue coming in, the people chatting suddenly stopped. As Tang Yue went wherever he went, the people there stood up and greeted Tang Yue, Tang Yue also responded one by one and brought Zhuang Yi to look for them. Sitting down in a corner, Tang Yue asked, "What are you going to eat?"

Zhuang Yi saw that Tang Yue was going to help him cook, and said quickly: "Don't bother seniors, I will order it myself. In addition to what I eat, I also want to get a portion of my beast."

"Okay, let's go together." Tang Yue said, getting up with Zhuang Yi.

—

Lei Xiu, who was sitting by the side waiting to eat, saw that both of them had gotten up. He immediately jumped out of his seat and followed Zhuang Yi's side and went to have a meal with Zhuang Yi. NS.

Zhuang Yi thought that Lei Xiu was greedy. He walked to the delicious food, bent down to ask Lei Xiu's advice, and ordered the food.

Tang Yue put them in the eyes of the interaction of one person, one pet, and looked at it with interest. Seeing Lei Xiu noticed his eyes and raised his head to look at him, Tang Yue blinked at Lei Xiu.

Lei Xiu stared at Tang Yue for a moment, until Zhuang Yi was about to return to his seat with the dishes, and then it followed Zhuang Yi back.

According to the information that Zhuang Yi understands, Tang Yue was born into a commoner family, but looking at his every move now, he is more elegant and beautiful than a nobleman. It is very pleasing to watch him eat. Every move of Zhuang Yi has been It is very standardized, but Tang Yue is more proficient than him.

The two people and one beast quickly ate and drank. Zhuang Yi specially ordered Lei Xiu a small cake today, so after they finished eating, Lei Xiu was still eating his dessert one after another.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you just now. Congratulations, Zhuang Yi." Tang Yue sat opposite Zhuang Yi and smiled to Zhuang Yi, "You have been promoted to level 5 so quickly, your promotion is faster than I thought. Much faster."

Zhuang Yi has already subdued the spirit beast of level 5, so Tang Yue, who is stronger than him, sees that the level is normal. Zhuang Yi said, "Thank you, senior. Although the level has gone up, it is not stable enough. I am trying to consolidate it recently. I hope I can really show my level 5 strength sooner."

"I heard that you were injured when you snatched a monster this time?" Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, and took a look at Zhuang Yi. "I went to ask the teacher, and the teacher said that the place where you were injured was all the parts where the spirit power wandered. It’s more serious. In the near future, it will take a lot of time to quickly dredge those parts, otherwise it will leave future troubles."

Zhuang Yi didn't expect Tang Yue to even ask the teacher about his injury, and smiled embarrassedly: "It is true, so I simply stayed at school, taking advantage of the winter vacation to step up my practice, and solve these hidden dangers as soon as possible. ."

Tang Yue nodded when he heard the words, "I didn't relax because of the skyrocketing strength, I am worthy of Zhuang Yi."

Zhuang Yi listened to Tang Yue’s undisguised appreciation. He lowered his head and didn’t know what to say. Tang Yue looked at Zhuang Yi for a moment and said, “If you need help during the training period, please come to me and I can help you. , I will try my best."

Zhuang Yi looked up at Tang Yue with a little surprise, and saw Tang Yue looking at himself with a smile. Although he didn’t understand why Tang Yue treated himself differently from the beginning, as if he was very good to him, it was just a moment. Zhuang Yi weighed the opportunity to ask questions in his mind, and finally said: "Since the senior said that, I can take the liberty to ask, the senior is a dual-line spirit master, and his cultivation speed over the years is generally recognized as fast. I heard that most dual-line spirit masters generally cannot cross Level 3, not to mention the rapid progress of seniors, seniors, do you have any tricks?"

Tang Yue seemed to be taken aback when he heard the words, then his eyes flashed, and he laughed: "This question...Zhuang Yi, you are really not polite to me. Let me tell you frankly, I can cultivate to this point. I do have a knack. Yes, and this secret of cultivation can not only help me improve rapidly, but also help single-line soul masters. This matter has been half-disclosed on Ellen’s side, and you have only been here for half a year. It may not be clear. People who want to know my cultivation method must be absolutely loyal to me. After all, I take out my biggest secret and share it with others. I don’t want to be betrayed. Zhuang Yi, do you understand what I mean? ?"

Seeing that Zhuang Yi did not speak for a while, Tang Yue continued: "I was born into a commoner family. My parents died a long time ago. I have no interest in women. I am destined to have no offspring. I am alone and have no worries. This world eats the weak. If you want to live well, you must have enough strength. I just want to make myself a little free. And the people who follow me now, as my strength improves, I naturally Will help them, Lei Xiu is able to create a few soul master families. I dare not say anything to be comparable to the top power in the mainland, but I will definitely treat everyone around me as well as Lei Xiu. ."

Tang Yue said, showing his ambition in front of Zhuang Yi for the first time, but his ambition is a bit different from Shang Qingyun. If Shang Qingyun wants people who are loyal to him to hold him to the top. Tang Yue turned into a brilliant person who led his allegiance to him. The differences between the two seem to be subtle, but with different ideas, they will naturally attract different people to follow.

But whether it is Tang Yue or Shang Qingyun, it is the same for Zhuang Yi. Zhuang Yi seems to have a good temper and is easy to go with, but in his bones he doesn't like the feeling of being controlled by others. He is born with a desire for freedom and independence. Even if he was a waste in his previous life, he does not want to surrender to others, let alone. This life. Although the cultivation methods of the Tang and Yue double elements were precious, Zhuang Yi would never give up the life he wanted for this.

He was about to apologize for his abrupt opening, and he politely refused. Tang Yue seemed to have guessed what he was going to say. Before Zhuang Yi spoke, Tang Yue said: "Don’t rush to refuse, Zhuang Yi, although we see I have met several times, but every time I am surrounded by many people, this is the second time we chat together alone."

Zhuang Yi looked at Tang Yue and looked at himself softly, thought for a while, and finally closed his mouth, and waited for Tang Yue to finish.

Tang Yue looked at Zhuang Yi's face and said, "Ten days later, the mid-level soul master 100 team battle of the Soul Master Competition will begin in Taikang City. Zhuang Yi, are you interested?"

Zhuang Yi didn't expect Tang Yue to mention the Soul Master Competition suddenly, and looked at Tang Yue with some doubts.

Upon seeing this, Tang Yue immediately explained: "The three major soul halls will take turns to hold a soul master contest in five years. This year it is held here at the Imperial Soul Hall. It is divided into three games, namely the inferior soul master and the middle soul master. And high-level soul masters, king soul masters and above are not allowed to participate in the competition. And soul masters of different levels are divided into individual battles and team battles. The inferior soul master's competition has been completed not long ago, and the middle-level soul masters The individual match of ”was also announced a few days ago. The team battle has just kicked off. The team I led was fortunate enough to enter the top 100. Five days later, the first battle of a hundred team battles will take place. The auxiliary soul master in our team happened to be injured. If you are interested, instead of practicing boringly in school, you might as well join us to try to get in touch with more soul masters and learn more about how others practice and fight. Yes, it will also be of great help to your cultivation."

Although Zhuang Yi had heard of the Soul Master Competition, it was limited to books. After all, this event was only held every five years. Five years ago, Zhuang Yi was still an ordinary person. It was a good thing for him to become a soul master. How dare you dare to participate in the soul master competition and fight with others? As for Zhuang Yi in his previous life, The whole body and mind are devoted to learning, and even if I have heard of such remote things as the Soul Master Competition, I would not pay attention to it. This has caused Zhuang Yi in this life to directly forget such a sensational event.

Tang Yue's words made Zhuang Yi feel a little moved. Zhuang Yi is now a medium-sized soul master. He missed his personal station. It would be nice to be able to participate in team battles and try it out. In addition, he has already been able to dredge his soul power for more than half of the time. Now, after another week or so, the spirit power of the whole body will be able to swim smoothly. Although I can’t guarantee that it will stably consolidate at level 5 in ten days and fully exert the power of a level 5 spirit master, it is definitely stronger than the ordinary level 4. With Zhuang Yi's current strength, it is completely possible to participate in the event.

Take a look at how people at the same level or higher level fight. It’s definitely better than his staying in the library during the winter vacation. Books need to be read, but it also requires practice. The combination of the two can be more effective. .

In addition, Zhuang Yi came to the Allen Academy for half a year, and had not heard or saw the slightest movement related to the different demons. This soul master contest must have gathered a lot of soul masters. If the different demons really start to treat humans Start, determined not to let go of this good opportunity. Knowing that the alien demon will explode soon, but it is still calm until now. No action by the alien demon has been detected, Zhuang Yi is always uneasy, take this opportunity to take a look, maybe there will be nothing in advance. must.

Tang Yue saw that Zhuang Yi hesitated and did not immediately refuse, and smiled: "As for what I said just now that I hope to follow me, or want my cultivation method, etc., we can wait until after the Soul Master Competition to talk about these things. Maybe it will happen. Every time you and I will change my mind, what do you think?"

Having said this, Tang Yue looked at Zhuang Yi and waited for his answer.

"I have to admit, senior, your eloquence is really good. I am very excited about this soul master contest. If senior does not mind that my strength is far inferior to yours, I am willing to participate."

Tang Yue immediately laughed happily when he heard the words. His white teeth and pleasing smile made him look very handsome and charming: "Very well, then you have to be prepared these days, first fix your body's soul power veins. I believe you will be able to finish it. I will contact you in seven days, set off with you to Taikang City, and introduce you to our next teammates."

Zhuang Yi nodded. Seeing Lei Xiu who had finished his dessert a long time ago, he had been sitting aside waiting for them to chat. Seeing the lunch time passed, he and Tang Yue got up together, and briefly talked about the soul master contest. The two separated.

After returning to the bedroom, Zhuang Yi reviewed all the conversations with Tang Yue today. He always felt that Tang Yue seemed to take extra care of him. Thinking of Tang Yue's words that he didn't like women, Zhuang Yi's expression changed. It was a little weird, but he quickly eliminated the conjecture in his heart. Tang Yue's behaving is kind but not intimate, it shouldn't be what he thought.

Is it really to appreciate him? Or simply want to subdue an excellent Boda exchange student. After all, it is not Zhuang Yi's arrogance. He still has a certain influence in Boda. If he is really loyal to Tang Yue, it will undoubtedly open a shortcut for Tang Yue to reach Boda. , Coupled with Tang Yue’s personal charm, there is a great possibility that Boda will be cornered...

Withdrawing Feiyuan’s thoughts, Zhuang Yi decided that in the next few days he would try his best to sort out the soul power in his body and try to look at it in the best state. Once in those five years, the Soul Master Competition held by the Palace of Souls The pomp.

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed, during which Zhuang Yi not only opened up all the soul power in his body, allowing the soul power to swim completely aside in his body. At the same time, he also found some time to give Wei Jin and others gifts one by one. The teacher at Allen Academy also approached Zhuang Yi twice, once to register the spirit beast, and once to inquire about the formation. The teacher who arranged the formation did not embarrass Zhuang Yi. He seemed to be in favor of Zhuang Yi. The formations laid out in the Warcraft Forest were more interested. They asked Zhuang Yi a few related questions. The two could not help but exchange knowledge about formations. This teacher was very knowledgeable and definitely not comparable to the current Zhuang Yineng. After a conversation, Zhuang Yi benefited a lot. At the same time, in the process of communicating with Zhuang Yi, the teacher learned that Zhuang Yi had some seemingly bold but bold and novel ideas. He immediately got a lot of inspiration. It can be described as a win-win situation. .

It was just dawn on the seventh day, and Tang Yue came to Zhuang Yi as scheduled. Zhuang Yi, who had prepared his belongings with Lei Xiu, temporarily left Allen Academy with Tang Yue, and headed to Taikang City, the first city in the northwest of Feishuang City, which is three big cities away.

Taikang City is located at the junction of the west and the north. The reason why it can become the first city in the northwest is that Taikang City is built on the edge of the Great Rift Valley that connects to the northwest. Taikang City was the place where the first Soul Master Competition was held. , Because this generation is deserted, the soul masters can play freely here. Later, there are more and more soul masters, and the competition is constantly reformed. Various events and rules have been separated. Taikang City also followed the soul master competition. When it prospered, the soul master first drove the economic development here, and then people gradually realized the uniqueness of the location of Taikang City. This place eventually became a very important junction between the west and the north. In addition to the soul master competition, which is a major attraction, The Great Rift Valley of Taikang City also attracted many people.

The rift valley is about two thousand meters wide, but no one has surveyed its depth so far. Standing on the edge of the cliff, the rift valley is like a huge cracked mouth. It is not bottomless, and it is as dark as a road to hell. There was a soul king who went down the valley to survey, and the result never came out again. This incident spread like wildfire, causing the Rift Valley to become famous, and it also made many soul masters daunted.

In addition, there are many legendary rumors about Taikang City. With full curiosity about this city, Zhuang Yi and Lei Xiu, together with Tang Yue, rushed through the three nights at the fastest speed. In the big city, they finally came to Taikang City late at night on the eighth day.

"The soul master contest will arrange the residence of the hundred groups to participate. We live in the center of the city. Besides me, there are a total of four people in the team. They are a soul warrior, two soul masters, and a soul assistant. Teacher, two of them are students from Allen College, both are in the fourth grade, one is Lin Liu and Lin Xi’s cousin, named Lin Yue, and the other two are students from other colleges, not one of the three major colleges. Seeing that he was about to reach the center of Taikang City, Tang Yue said to Zhuang Yi, "I have told them all about your situation. The first time I met you, their characters are simple and straightforward. They may want to test you, but you don't need to talk to them. You are polite, and you can directly use your strongest strength to beat one of them to the ground. Be a little proud and don't need to be humble."

After hearing this, Zhuang Yi nodded.

Tang Yue recounted their general situation again, and finally said: "When we meet later, I will introduce it again. You can match them one-to-one with what I and you said. The style of the team Similar to Allen, everyone only recognizes the strong, Zhuang Yi, who can improve the overall strength of the team, come on."

"Yes, I will try my best."

When he arrived at the residence of the participating team, Tang Yue took Zhuang Yi and walked in. When Tang Yue knocked on the door, someone got up and opened the door. Zhuang Yi followed Tang Yue in, and saw four people sitting inside neatly. It was late at night, and most of the people had already fallen asleep. It can be seen that these four people have been waiting for their arrival.

Tang Yue greeted everyone, then pushed Zhuang Yi to the front and said to the people: "Zhuang Yi, a fifth-level spirit master, with balanced abilities in all aspects, will become one of the auxiliary soul masters in our team next time. It took a lot of effort to invite him. Everyone welcomes him."

Zhuang Yi looked at the four people present, three men and one woman. Two of the men are very sturdy, with bulging muscles and burly bodies. They are very similar to Yu Rong's style. At a glance, they can't be the assistant soul masters. They are probably the two defenders in the team. The soul master, the other man looks extraordinarily thin in comparison between the two. He has long limbs, a black suit, and ordinary features. If you don’t look at him deliberately, you will feel that he has no sense of existence. , And the only woman, who looks similar to the twins of Linxi and Linliu, has very fair skin, but unfortunately it is too ordinary, but her eyebrows are sword eyebrows, which looks a bit fierce.

Zhuang Yi felt a little bit, and found that none of the people present was below level 5 in strength, especially Lin Yue, whose aura was stronger than others, and it was likely that he had already reached the fifth level or above.

While Tang Yue introduced Zhuang Yi, the four of them stared at Zhuang Yi, especially Lin Yue. I don’t know if it was her effect on the sword eyebrows or Zhuang Yi’s illusion. Zhuang Yi felt that Lin Yue was watching her. The look in his eyes was a little unsatisfactory.

"Don't just stare at people. There is no indication that our future teammates will be sad." Tang Yue chuckles when no one speaks, and walks up to Zhuang Yi without waiting for the four to respond. Starting from Lin Yue, the introduction: "Lin Yue, the fifth-level lower-level combat spirit assistant, she walks somewhat similar to Lin Liu, but her personality is much hotter than that of Lin Liu; Ye Wei, the fifth-level intermediate combat spirit Master, it’s a sensitive route; Zhu Wei, a fifth-level superior external defense soul master; Liu Teng, a fifth-tier superior soul master."

"Hello, Zhuang Yi." Seeing Tang Yue finished introducing both parties, several people who came back to their senses greeted Zhuang Yi one after another. Zhuang Yi also responded one by one. At this moment, Lin Yue took a step forward and looked at Zhuang Yi and said, "What kind of soul assistant are you?"

"Preferred to healing." Zhuang Yi said, "In fact, my real skills are transfer, including wounds and spirit power."

"Transfer? If my leg is injured, where can you transfer my wound?" Lin Yue asked.

"Transfer to hand." Zhuang Yi said, and then added, "Or my body, but it will take more time."

"That is, the wound is still there anyway." Lin Yue immediately turned to look at Tang Yue, "Why do we use such a spirit assistant? Once someone is injured, the wound cannot be cured, even if it is transferred to him, then He is injured, and it will be a burden to our team. His existence cannot bring us a truly effective effect, Tang Yue, this is the new soul assistant you invited to veto my brother?"

"Sorry Zhuang Yi, I am not targeting you, but with your ability, I cannot agree to let you join our team." Lin Yue looked at Zhuang Yi and said.
