The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 140 Protecting the two in front of him

Jiang Man felt grateful and fortunate to leave his master.

His master treated him quite well, giving him at least four thousand spiritual resources as help.

If you can get first place, you can also get a discount.

Although the quantity remains the same, it was previously impossible to get one even if you tried to snatch it.

Thirty pills a month is barely enough.

After returning to his residence, Jiang Man stopped thinking about anything else and focused entirely on improving himself.

Seven days later.

Jiang Man felt new visualized stars illuminating his body.

Although the light was faint, it carried a powerful spiritual force.

This made his senses more acute, and his control over his body's strength became more refined.

The spirit has six layers.

With seven days remaining, Jiang Man did not slack off in the slightest and continued to consolidate his cultivation.

Then get familiar with the current situation.

Especially the True Martial Arts.

To make a better attempt, he sought out Fang Yong.

"Let me be your sparring partner?"

Upon hearing Jiang Man's words, Fang Yong was stunned: "What score did you get? What score did I get?"

“My grades are inflated because of my minor, so they don’t count,” Jiang Man said.

The score that truly represents combat strength is 400 points.

Of course, the 200 points for assistance can vary in actual gameplay.

Some people used formations to guide others, while others used elixirs to poison people during the struggle.

Everywhere.

But these are useless for friendly sparring.

It doesn't count.

"Don't worry, just do your best to interrupt my spellcasting. You don't want me to be unskilled in using magic during the annual assessment, do you?" Jiang Man said.

Fang Yong felt that the other party was also quite shameless.

Then he began his attack.

The attack was carried out directly with the Blue Smoke Prelude and the Dragon Suppression Technique.

In addition, he also possesses combat skills.

These are all techniques for cultivating Qi.

Jiang Man was extremely familiar with the situation, so he dodged in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, he felt something restrain his wrist.

Looking down, I saw that it was something like a water snake.

"Zhang family magic, the art of binding a hundred."

The attack arrived the moment Fang Yong spoke.

Collapse Flow Technique.

Taking revenge for personal gain?

Jiang Man watched the kick and felt that the other party's actions were somewhat influenced by personal grudges.

boom!
This attack left Jiang Man with no choice but to retaliate.

If it's someone of the same level, I can't accurately dodge them.

Moreover, if you try to dodge, it will be easy for others to discover that you are about to activate True Martial Arts.

Therefore, the impact of the force can dispel other people's speculations.

He asked Mr. Yan.

When True Martial Arts is activated, you basically have to dodge attacks.

Of course, when there is a team, someone will protect you before you start.

It's basically turned on in turn.

Furthermore, the True Martial Arts technique can only be obtained with a score of 150.

Not many people from the Eighth Academy can obtain it, but quite a few from the Seventh Academy.

In response, Jiang Man asked Mr. Yan if the Seventh Academy had any geniuses.

The answer was yes, but the three or four strongest people went to the fourth, fifth, or sixth hospitals.

Therefore, taking first place now is easily subject to criticism.

Jiang Man didn't care about this.

The light just shines a little slower.

A piece of cake.

Next year, the sunlight will reach the fourth, fifth, and sixth hospitals.

However, he was very curious about the cultivation levels of the First, Second, and Third Academies.

When I asked Mr. Yan, the answer I got was that they were basically all at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As the thought dissipated, Jiang Man took a step back, sensing the changes in his body.

The True Martial Arts technique wasn't interrupted, but it was shaking.

Fang Yong launched another attack at this moment.

Jiang Man stopped dodging and chose to fight back head-on.

Technique: Shadowless Palm.

Fang Yong also unleashed the Great Buddha Palm.

The two then exchanged blows at a very fast pace, with Jiang Man constantly suppressing his power and sensing the changes in his body.

He then used his knowledge of magic to attack Fang Yong's weak points.

The more Fang Yong fought, the more shocked and horrified he became.

Regardless of whether Jiang Man had studied it or not, he could quickly identify the weaknesses.

Jiang Man's True Martial Arts was finally interrupted.

"Failed?" Fang Yong asked, regaining his footing.

Jiang Man looked at the other person shaking their head and smiled, "Success."

Fang Yong was puzzled.

Jiang Man said, "It's right that you don't understand, after all, I'm a genius."

Fang Yong: "."

"I'm leaving." Jiang Man turned and left. "Remember to perform well in a few days, and I'll lead you to sweep through the Seventh Hospital."

Eighth Hospital?

They don't even have the right to make a move.

Fang Yong was somewhat shocked, then he recalled his question.

Why was the opponent able to so easily spot the weaknesses in the spell?

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is what genius is all about."

Fang Yong: "."

Jiang Man smiled and said, "Learn more superior techniques and cultivate more."

He has indeed studied many advanced methods, and can understand the general principles of many simple methods after reading them only once.

Of course, it could also be due to his high level of cultivation.

Of course, his most important quality is his unparalleled talent.

August fifteen.

Jiang Man sat in the first seat, waiting for this assessment.

Yan Yiqiu walked in and looked at everyone, saying, "Study hard. A score of 150 will qualify you for the Third Academy's assessment."

"Those who rank highly in the three academies' assessments will be able to enter the Seven Peaks assessment."

"The best stuff is all in the battle among the seven peaks."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Do you have any high-grade body-refining techniques?"

Yan Yiqiu shook her head: "No, but there are other high-grade techniques. Currently, the Seventh and Eighth Academies only have mid-grade techniques."

Jiang Man was quite moved.

It seems that the three academies can only compete for the mid-grade body-refining method, while the seven peaks can compete for the high-grade technique.

However, even superior spells must suit oneself.

If only a high-grade sword technique were available.

What would I do with it?

Yan Yiqiu then announced the start of the assessment, which would last only one day, during which everything would be assessed and completed.

It is a huge test for both the body and mind.

Most people's scores dropped slightly.

Therefore, regular assessments cannot be counted.

Jiang Man finished his assessment quickly.

However, he still has to wait here for the final result.

In order not to waste time, he began to cultivate.

Temper your spirit.

Having encountered a bottleneck in cultivation, it's not easy to improve.

Everyone else was stunned when they saw Jiang Man practicing.

Those who are highly talented work even harder than others.

Now even time to close your eyes and rest is being squeezed out.

There's simply no way to rest.

After all, resting makes him think of Jiang Man, who was cultivating. Late at night.

Yan Yiqiu announced the list of participants for the three academies' assessment.

Jiang Man, Zhuo Bufan, Zhao Yaoyao, Lin Qingshan, Wei Beichuan.

Cao Cheng missed by one point.

An Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost, I almost got left behind."

Cao Cheng stared intently at An Rong.

Finally, I took out my notebook and wrote down the other person's name.

Adding insult to injury.

An Rong: "."

"The assessment is the day after tomorrow. You will need to form your own teams and find people from the Seventh or Ninth Academy," Yan Yiqiu said to everyone. "Remember, when competing for cultivation techniques and spells, the strength depends on which academy you are from."

"If it's all from the Seventh Academy, that's the highest difficulty."

"Even though they're all from the Ninth Academy, they're the weakest."

Back at their lodgings, Old Ox asked Jiang Man if he had figured out how to keep Zhenwu Fa in check.

“Yes, although it can’t increase speed, it can make the True Martial Arts technique more stable,” Jiang Man said with a smile. “Just add an extra layer of spiritual energy, like water in a bucket.”

“Once it is lifted and moved around, it is easy to overflow, but as long as the relevant rhythm is maintained, no matter how much you shake it, the water can stay inside.”

"Did you succeed?" the old ox asked.

"It worked. As long as it's not someone who can completely overpower me, they shouldn't be able to interrupt it. It's a bit of a waste, but it's really effective against opponents of similar strength," Jiang Man said.

The old ox said no more and continued to graze.

Jiang Man didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Instead, they quietly waited for the assessment the day after tomorrow.

the other side.

Fang Yong also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He barely made it into the top three.

After participating in the assessment of the three academies, things should go smoothly.

He met Zhang Bai on the way.

Did Junior Brother Fang successfully participate in the Three Academies Assessment?

"Yes, you've made it in. Has Senior Brother Zhang found a suitable person?"

Fang Yong asked with a smile.

"Yes, we need to send her something to improve her strength," Zhang Bai said softly. "Those who teamed up with Junior Brother Fang should also send her something, right?"

"Yes, it has been mentioned," Fang Yong nodded and said.

"That's good. I thought Junior Brother Fang had suffered a loss." With that, Zhang Bai left with a smile.

Fang Yong waved goodbye.

Then he continued on his way to his lodgings.

He went over the idea of ​​sending the gift in his mind.

The conclusion was that Jiang Man would only give him an IOU.

Back at his residence, he planned to continue his cultivation.

Not long after, Cheng Yu appeared in front of the courtyard.

"Young Master Fang," Cheng Yu said with a smile, "are you going back this time?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yong looked at the other person and asked, "You want to go back?"

"That depends on where I'm going back to. I don't want to go back to my home," Cheng Yu told the truth.

"You didn't go back last time either?" Fang Yong asked.

“Yes, I don’t dare to go back. My mother is very good to me, but she beats me. She beats me when others think I’m bad, and she beats me when others praise me. The former means I’m not working hard enough, and the latter means I’m not working hard enough.” Cheng Yu gestured, grabbed her hair with her hand, and then made a fanning motion. “She likes to grab my hair and beat me. I don’t even dare to cry, so I’m terrified at the thought of going back.”

Fang Yong looked calmly at the person in front of him and said, "You don't need to go back this year. Just focus on what you're doing now."

"Can Young Master Fang participate in the competition among the three academies?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Yes." Fang Yong nodded.

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Young Master Fang. I'll head back now."

Fang Yong thought the other party would continue asking questions, but it ended unexpectedly.

However, he didn't care and continued to cultivate, after which he relied on Jiang Man.

He had been paying attention to Jiang Man ever since he joined Yunqian Division.

He never imagined that Jiang Man, who seemed poor and foolish, would one day become such a person.

The day of the assessment at the three hospitals.

Jiang Man met Lin Qingshan first, and seeing his increasingly dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, "The brilliance of a genius simply cannot be concealed."

"Does our team also have someone from the Ninth Academy?" Lin Qingshan asked.

“Yes, my fellow villager,” Jiang Man replied.

“Sometimes fellow villagers can be quite dangerous, so you need to be careful,” Lin Qingshan kindly reminded him. “Especially for a genius like you, it’s even more dangerous.”

"Many people who can't get to you will start with your friends."

"Thus achieving their goals."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback and said, "Is that so?"

Therefore, it seems necessary to let many people know that Fang Yong is his good friend and fellow townsman.

Fang Yong had to kowtow and feign poverty just to get a place to live in a courtyard.

As his friend, I should at least charge him more for the sale, right?
"Yes, so you need to be careful," Lin Qingshan reminded him.

Jiang Man expressed his gratitude.

If the other party hadn't reminded me, I would have almost missed such a great opportunity.

Especially since his own light was about to shine on the Third Hospital.

Many people will try to do something for themselves.

Fang Yong is a breakthrough point.

"It's good that you reminded me," Jiang Man said earnestly.

Lin Qingshan was somewhat confused.

He felt that Jiang Man was indeed thanking him, but he felt that there was something strange about the tone of her thanks.

The two then found Fang Yong.

Upon seeing him, Lin Qingshan was stunned: "A rich man?"

He looked at Jiang Man and said, "I take back what I just said. He looks really rich, so he probably won't betray you."

"How could you tell he was rich?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"He came from the direction of the small courtyard residence, he was wearing expensive clothes, and his boots were engraved with runes, which is a magic item that can enhance spells like the Soaring Dragon." Lin Qingshan stared at Fang Yong and said, "Not only that, but his skin is extremely good, it must be from being well-maintained."

"His eyes and brows exude the air of a wealthy person."

"The only surprising thing is that this wealth is too obvious."

"Although Zhuo Bufan and his group are also wealthy, it's not as obvious."

"It was as if the other party was telling everyone that he was a rich man, and that everyone should be careful."

"I feel like I suddenly have a huge fortune."

"Of course, it's also possible that he's pretending to be rich, but the fact that he can participate in the three academies' assessment means he's genuinely rich."

Jiang Man looked at Lin Qingshan with some surprise.

He couldn't see anything at all.

Anyway, from the moment Fang Yong was tricked by Cheng Moyang and the others, he knew that Fang Yong was a fake rich man.

I never imagined there would be so many twists and turns involved.

What a waste of time.

After the three reunited, Fang Yong said, "I've already found out that this competition among the three academies includes mid-grade cultivation techniques, mid-grade spells, and a spirit sword worth 15,000."

"Only 15,000?" Jiang Man felt it was a bit low.

You should know that when he went to the secret realm before, he not only had 15,000 coins but also a high-grade Qi Condensation Technique.

The difference is indeed significant.

No wonder those geniuses went straight to the fourth, fifth, and sixth academies to compete.

There is absolutely no need to keep it.

"Fifteen thousand is not bad. After all, some people can't get spells and techniques, but at least they can get a spirit sword," Fang Yong said.

“A mid-grade one is good enough,” Lin Qingshan said. “If you want to buy a mid-grade cultivation technique or spell, it’s not cheap at all; it’s not comparable to a spirit sword.”

Jiang Man felt he had gotten too cocky; he had seen too many high-grade items and no longer cared about mid-grade ones.

"What's the deal with the Seven Peaks contest?" Jiang Man asked.

"It hasn't been announced yet, but at most it will only be a high-grade spell. However, there were 35,000 spirit swords last year," Fang Yong said.

The three then headed to the back of Yunxia Peak.

There are not only puppets here, but also monsters.

Jiang Man encountered three people as soon as he arrived.

Jiang Man knew one person, and Fang Yong knew two.

"Zhao Yaoyao?" Lin Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

“Everyone knows each other,” Zhang Bai said, looking at Fang Yong. “Junior Brother Fang is here too? These two look like they’re from the Eighth Academy, why didn’t you find someone from the Seventh Academy?”

"What else could it be? He's poor." Another woman said coldly, "That's how he is at the Ninth Hospital. He pretends to be a young master because he has no money, and he fools some unsuspecting people."

"I don't know where they get such a thick skin."

Jiang Man felt that time shouldn't be wasted, so he asked, "Do you know where the intermediate-grade body refining technique is?"

"The former number one from the Ninth Academy?" Zhang Bai looked at Jiang Man and sighed, "Did you come here this time knowing that those three aren't participating?"

In an instant, Zhao Yaoyao's face paled slightly.

He silently stepped back, shielding the two of them in front of him.
