The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 50: Half a Day of Leisure

In Hospital A, after half a month of getting along, the fifty people have become familiar with each other.

At least they can call each other by name.

"Yuan Zhao, the people in your God General Mansion are really amazing. Although they are freshmen, they almost took all the top ten spots."

Sitting on the grass, the slim Du Yueqiu sighed to Li Yuanzhao.

She is an old student, eighteen years old this year, the best age, but she is already considered an "old person" in Hospital A.

Before school started, she was in the top ten of the martial arts rankings, but now she is ranked outside the top fifteen.

It’s just that the freshmen this year are too vigorous. There are seven from the General’s Palace alone, and there are two princes from the royal family, which is even more incomparable.

In addition, there is the child of a certain master and the princess of a certain city, all of whom have terrifying backgrounds, making a total of thirteen.

They, the old students, practiced hard for many years before they reached the perfection of Zhoutian realm, while these new students have already reached the perfection of Zhoutian realm when they first arrived, or are close to perfection, and they enter school with a solid family background.

Moreover, although they were at the same realm, there was a gap in the levels of their practice of luck and meridian-opening methods, resulting in a difference of nearly twice as much power. They were no match at all and were severely shocked by these descendants of Dayu's supreme authority.

"It's okay, I'm only sixth, still almost there." Li Yuanzhao said, scratching his head.

"..."

Du Qiuyue was speechless.

Zheng Bai, another young master from a noble family in Liangzhou, smiled bitterly.

Although he was also a freshman, he only ranked 38th.

The only ones who can bully the seniors are those guys with powerful backgrounds. As the kids from aristocratic families, they still have to behave themselves and accept the teachings of the seniors.

Inside the venue, some people were practicing their skills.

Du Qiuyue looked at the martial arts list with complicated eyes.

Now, among the top five, there is only one old student who is struggling to hold on, which seems to represent the last dignity of these old students.

The two princes ranked first and second respectively. The royal family's meridian-opening techniques and qi-flowing methods were unique in the world, so as princes they naturally practiced them.

The third one is Wang Han from Tianzhao General's Mansion. Seeing this name, Du Qiuyue's eyes changed slightly. Apart from the prince, the most feared person in Courtyard A is Wang Han.

Although he was only fifteen years old, he was ruthless and decisive in his attacks, with ferocious moves. He was completely unlike the others and looked like he had been through the baptism of blood and fire.

Someone found out that this Wang Han seemed to have served in the Muhesi for a year.

Ranked fourth is the daughter of the Grandmaster. It is said that she has already comprehended the heart of swordsmanship and her swordsmanship is superb and extremely terrifying.

The fifth one is the old man, who used to be number one on the martial arts list. His spear skills have reached the top level of perfection. He fought with Li Yuanzhao yesterday and won a small victory.

Li Yuanzhao next to him ranked sixth, followed by his two cousins, Li Yun and Li Zhining.

"Strange, your brother Hao, why isn't he here?"

Du Qiuyue shifted her gaze, looked around the yard, and asked curiously.

She was more interested in Li Hao. After all, she heard Li Yuanzhao beside her call him Brother Hao all the time. When the two of them were together, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Yuanzhao respected the boy of the same age very much.

This is bound to cause surprise and astonishment.

However, every time the class ended, that person would run away as if he was in a hurry to go to the toilet.

In their spontaneous exchanges and discussions, martial arts ranking challenges, etc., they never saw each other's shadow, as if they were people wandering outside the Jiayuan.

Even during class, every time she glanced over, she saw the other person either sleeping on his stomach or taking notes with something that looked like a book.

So hardworking? She was secretly impressed at first, but when she accidentally saw it later, she realized that there was not a single word in the book, only sketches.

The paintings are all of ferocious monsters, and they all seem to be aquatic creatures...

In addition, there are paintings by teacher Su Ye, many of which are interspersed among them. Some of the paintings have cat ears, tails, etc., making teacher Su Ye look like a demon that has not yet fully transformed.

This is just scribble.

But despite this, Du Qiuyue could still see that the painting was exquisitely done and lifelike, and it was definitely not something that could be achieved casually; it must have been the product of painstaking effort.

But, we are all warriors, who has the time to do other things?

"Brother Hao should be out having fun." Li Yuanzhao said disapprovingly.

He had long been accustomed to Li Hao's behavior, and practiced with them? You must be kidding. The old lady begged him so hard, but she had never seen Brother Hao in the martial arts arena.

From childhood to adulthood, Brother Hao has never hung out with people of his age unless they take the initiative to seek him out.

"Play..." Du Qiuyue and Zheng Bai were dumbfounded to hear Li Yuanzhao say it so easily.

From the whip on their buttocks to the cane on their backs, the word "hard work" has long been engraved on their bodies.

play?

They want to, but they don't dare.

In the words of their father:

"You are playing with time now, but you will be playing with your life in the future!"

"How can one become a superior person without enduring hardships?"

"The prosperity of the family depends on you. How can you be worthy of our ancestors by being so lazy?!"

"Play" is such a frivolous word, but it is so far away from them, like a taboo, unspeakable.

"He won't participate in the martial arts rankings? If so, he will be challenged by the disciples of Courtyard B, and then he will be demoted to Courtyard B." Du Qiuyue hesitated.

Li Yuanzhao opened his eyes slightly in anger: "Who dares! If anyone challenges Brother Hao, I will demote him to the B courtyard and challenge him again!" Du Qiuyue: "..."

Zheng Bai: “…”

My goodness, this is too overbearing.

"You have the God General Mansion behind you, and no one should be willing to challenge you. But in the test of the Dead River battlefield in a year, you can only rely on yourself."

Du Qiuyue said angrily, "For the demon-slaying missions outside, I can rely on my family to secretly send experts to protect me, but in the Dead River Battle Realm, I can only rely on myself and cannot go with a companion. The Dead River Battle Realm used for the test can only be entered by one person at a time."

"That's true."

Li Yuanzhao frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "I'll talk to Brother Hao about this later."

Du Qiuyue was speechless. It turned out that the young master of the God General's Mansion didn't take this matter to heart at all?
……

……

On the back mountain of Jiayuan, there is a waterfall.

Two figures sat on the edge of the cliff at the top of the waterfall, drinking, playing chess, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a figure leaped up from the bottom of the waterfall, jumped over the waterfall which was dozens of feet high, without getting wet, and landed in front of the two men, holding two skewered rabbits in their hands.

“You kid…” The two elders playing chess laughed when they saw the newcomer. Then they sniffed and said, “What a nice smell!”

Li Hao handed the two roasted hares to the two elders and said with a smile, "Come and try them."

The two elders playing chess were Zhao Zongyuan and Shen Yunqing, both teachers at Academy A. They had been completely conquered by Li Hao's delicious food in the past half month.

"Tsk, your craftsmanship is really amazing." Shen Yun took a light bite and couldn't help but admire.

He and Zhao Zongyuan both looked casual and smiling at the moment, but when they were teaching in the courtyard on weekdays, they acted like serious teachers. Even the two princes had to be serious and behave properly in front of them.

The princes are indeed noble, but the princes who can come to the Tan Palace Academy to study may not be so favored, and may not live as long as them in the future. The two of them do not need to be so servile and fawning to the golden order around their waists.

"I've already lost two rounds to you today. Isn't it time for you to go back and practice martial arts?"

While Zhao Zongyuan was eating the wild rabbit, he saw Li Hao who was eager to try, and couldn't help but say.

Although he loves playing chess... he doesn't like losing.

It’s more comfortable to play chess with Fatty Shen. You don’t have to put too much effort in, and you can still win.

"Practicing martial arts is so boring. It's not the martial arts of the Black and White Palace." Li Hao said.

"You want to learn unique skills right after you get here? That's wishful thinking."

The two shook their heads helplessly at Li Hao. When Li Hao asked them to play chess before, they had tested Li Hao's skills and found that he was not a dissolute playboy. He was even better than most people in Jiayuan.

But this kid had no interest in martial arts. When they played chess, they occasionally wanted to give Li Hao some special lessons and give him some pointers, but in the end, he got scolded instead:
"You're almost losing, and you still have time to talk to me about other things?"

"Can you please be serious and pick up the chess pieces, pick up the chess pieces!"

"How about I give you five eyes?"

The two elders were a little broken-down and felt both hatred and love for Li Hao.

"Mr. Shen, wine."

Li Hao pointed at Shen Yunqing's waist and said, "You lost two bites to me today, and I haven't given it to you yet."

The corner of Shen Yunqing's mouth twitched. He had originally only given some to Zhao Zongyuan, but now there was another little mouth. His Zuifengniang was almost not enough for himself to drink.

Hoping to accept the loss, he snorted and threw the wine gourd to Li Hao: "Take it easy, you are still young."

Li Hao chuckled, uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back and took two gulps, then wiped his mouth and said comfortably, "It tastes really good."

He has six cooking skills, covering a wide range of areas. He can also brew his own wine, but this is too time-consuming and he is too lazy to do it.

Seeing Li Hao being so casual and unrestrained, the two men had no choice but to eat the rabbit on their own.

Li Hao returned the wine gourd to Shen Yunqing, patted his butt, and said, "Then I'll come again tomorrow."

As he said this, he leaped up, his figure as fast as the wind, and landed on the white rocks outside the waterfall.

Then he walked away leisurely, humming a tune.

I just went up the waterfall just to have a couple of drinks and give a wild rabbit to the two elders as a reward.

"This kid..." Looking at his back, both of them smiled bitterly. They had never seen such a strange boy.

"By the way, was the movement he just displayed the top-grade White Phoenix Skill that you taught him?" Zhao Zongyuan asked.

Shen Yunqing chewed the hare and said vaguely, "That's right, and that kid seems to have practiced to perfection. I really doubt that he really understood the Wind-Slashing Fist that day..."

"Mastered it to the perfect level in half a month..."

Zhao Zongyuan seemed to be thinking about something, and whispered: "Could it be that the news released by the Li family was to cover up the truth? The Marquis Xing Wu is always at the border, and the couple are not around..."

I haven't finished speaking yet, so there's no need to say more.

Shen Yun swallowed the hare meat and drank a mouthful of wine. He felt so comfortable that his eyebrows almost fell off. He sighed:
"The family of a noble is as deep as the sea, who knows? Anyway, this kid is definitely a prodigy. When he arrives at the Dead River in a year, he should make a big splash."

Zhao Zongyuan nodded slightly and did not deny it. It depended on whether Li Hao was willing at that time.

Suddenly, he noticed Li Hao's back disappearing around the corner, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "This kid, is he going in the wrong direction?"

"Hmm? Didn't you tell him that that's where the river leads to?"
