Chapter 128 New skill [Catalysis], arrive at the Demon River!
the next day.
The dim morning light dispelled the slight chill of the early morning.
Five new students, ten old students, and three leading teachers gathered at the south gate of the school.
The school's special car was speeding on the way to the airport, and the atmosphere in the car was relatively relaxed and cheerful.
The three teachers are led by Grandmaster Fang Jianxing, while the other two female teachers are both martial artists of high level.
As for the ten old students, seven were men and three were women.
There are two girls who are in the "three-star" realm, and the others have all entered the "moon" realm. The strongest is Shen Luoyan who is in the "three-month" realm.
"Compared to the three top martial arts schools, it's indeed a bit shabby!"
Qi Sui looked at his phone.
The predicted strength list for this year's Hundred Schools Martial Arts Competition has been released. The top seed for the championship is still the White Tiger Martial Arts University, which is said to be led by "Rijing". Next in line are the Suzaku Martial Arts University and the Xuanwu Martial Arts University.
As for Qinglong Martial Arts University's ranking, it couldn't even maintain last year's sixth place, and dropped directly to eleventh in the predicted list.
"How much do you look down on our school? After all, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse!"
Qi Sui moved his eyes away from the mobile phone screen and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, but his attention was actually focused on the career panel.
After this period of hard practice.
[Qinglong Shi] not only successfully got started, but also entered the level 2 realm.
The internal strength has also been cultivated to the third level.
In addition, the experience points of each profession have increased significantly.
[Berserker Tyrant (Extraordinary) lv4 (69886/70000)] is on the verge of upgrading.
[Chemical Researcher lv6 (82/2000)], at lv5, he still acquired a new basic professional skill.
[Catalysis] lv1: Can slightly reduce the activation energy of any chemical reaction, provide a new reaction path, and slightly speed up the reaction rate.
Judging from the current level, it doesn't seem to bring any increase in combat power.
However, Qi Sui is still optimistic about the future development prospects of this profession.
Half an hour later.
The school bus slowly drove into the aircraft parking lot.
Under the guidance of the staff, everyone from Qinglong Martial Arts University went through the security check-in procedures one by one, and then, under the envious or awe-inspiring gazes of many passengers, they all sat in an area near the back of the economy class of the plane.
Wearing this green martial arts school uniform when going out is the best business card.
"Little brother, little brother, are you students of Qinglong Martial Arts University?"
A beautiful young girl sitting in the front turned her head, her eyes full of eagerness, but she was not talking to Qi Sui.
Zhou Shentong smiled, showing his elegant demeanor: "Not bad!"
The beautiful young girl was infatuated with him, her voice became hoarse: "Hey, little brother, you must be representing the school to participate in this year's Hundred Schools Martial Arts Conference, right? I heard that those who can participate are the best people in the school."
"It's fate that we met! Can you add me in your contact list? I'll be there to cheer you on!"
Zhou Shentong naturally would not refuse such a good thing that came to his doorstep.
Qi Sui just took a few glances and then looked away. He was at the innermost position and could see through the window that the cabin door had been retracted and the ground crew was in place.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to take off..."
A few minutes after the flight attendant's announcement, the plane began to move slowly forward with a noticeable shake until it reached the runway for accelerated takeoff.
Rumbling--
With a loud roar, the plane began to accelerate forward and pulled up near the end of the runway.
Under the dual effects of gravity and inertia, Qi Sui leaned his back against the chair, and the buildings outside the window became smaller and smaller until they were submerged by a sea of clouds.
Many students cheered excitedly.
For many of them who have just entered college, it is their first time to feel the feeling of flying on an airplane.
Qi Sui was much calmer.
Compared with the novelty, he felt more uneasy.
The earth is the root of a warrior, at least that's the case before reaching the Grandmaster level.
Once in the sky, even the most powerful martial artist can only stare and wait for death if he encounters an accident such as an airplane crash.
Qi Sui slowly closed his eyes. He really didn't like the feeling of not having the power over life and death in his hands.
The long period of intensive study and training kept his mind and body in a highly tense state. After all this, he fell asleep without realizing it.
In the dream, it was as if I had come to a garden, with flowers in full bloom, all kinds of fragrance competing for beauty, and the alluring fragrance went straight into my nostrils...
"Dear passengers and friends, the city ahead is Mojiang! The plane will land in three minutes!"
The sweet voice of the stewardess woke Qi Sui from his sleep.
His eyes suddenly opened, and he found that he had leaned his head on the shoulder of the person sitting next to him without knowing when, and there was still a trace of residual water stain on his blue school uniform.
Qi Sui wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Gu Xiyue's delicate and indifferent profile with some embarrassment: "Senior Sister, I'm sorry... I didn't pay attention." Gu Xiyue didn't say anything, but just moved her shoulders slightly to disperse the blood stasis caused by prolonged compression.
"Everyone, please stop unloading your belongings and get ready to get off the plane!"
Qi Sui stood up and greeted them to cover up his embarrassment.
Shen Luoyan, who was sitting in front, turned her head and gave him a sweet smile.
The first plane trip went very smoothly without any setbacks.
Led by Fang Jianxing, everyone left the plane, got into the special car parked outside the airport, and drove slowly towards the city of Mojiang.
Mojiang, in terms of scale and importance, is second only to Tianfu in Xia Country and is also a world-class megacity.
The city is close to the sea and the air is filled with rich water vapor.
The skyscrapers rising from the ground are like giants standing in the mist. The city's skyline blends with the sun's brilliance. From here you can see the mysterious "Star Falling Ocean" which is known as a forbidden place for mankind!
The Falling Star Ocean is the largest ocean on the Canglan Star. It is rumored to have got its name from the star meteorites buried in it. There are terrifying gods sleeping in the endless deep sea.
As early as the last era, sea transportation was completely banned from human civilization because it was too dangerous.
"Students, this is the Demon River Eye Arena where you will participate in this competition. Please get off the bus in an orderly manner!"
"finally reached!"
Qi Sui stood up and stretched, his bones crackling from the long journey.
As soon as everyone got off the bus, they were shocked by the huge crowds of people in front of them.
Dozens of uniformed personnel were struggling to maintain order, and the roads were already crowded with people. Some of them were showing their love with loudspeakers, some were reaching out to high-five, and some wanted autographs...
If you don’t know, you might think you have come to a superstar’s star-chasing event.
However, with the development of martial arts today, many talented martial artists are no less famous than ordinary stars. Under the effect of filters, they may be more popular with passers-by.
Just like Qi Sui’s short video account, which he has been working hard on for half a year, but only has a few hundred fans.
If he is willing to reveal his identity as a student at Qinglong Martial Arts University, he can easily increase the number of his fans to over 10,000.
"Look, look, that car, those blue school uniforms, those are the students from Qinglong Martial Arts University!" A girl screamed shrilly.
"Damn, the girls at Qinglong Martial Arts University are of very high quality this year. There are two super beauties here. Hurry up and take some photos!"
"Especially that cold-faced beauty! If I could marry her, I would be willing to live in a villa and drive a luxury car!"
“Qinglong? Is it that internet-famous school that never even makes it into the top five every year and has no real talent?” A hater jumped out from the crowd.
"Tsk, even if they can't make it into the top five, that's not something you can get into." A boy immediately retorted.
"..."
Facing the clamor and thousands of eyes, Qi Sui remained calm and walked steadily.
Gu Xiyue seemed a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere. She took a few quick steps, hid her delicate body behind Qi Sui, and followed him into the venue.
At this moment, the noise behind him was like pouring hot oil into a flame, and the sound waves that erupted instantly almost overturned the dome.
"It's the White Tiger Martial Arts University!"
"Ahhhhhh, Baihu Wuda, my dream school, my male god is here!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, White Tiger Martial Arts University will still be the champion this year. Their overall strength is too strong!"
"..."
Such a lively scene was at least several times more spectacular than when Qi Sui and others appeared.
The four top martial arts universities are nominally led by Qinglong, but after nearly a hundred years of changes and development, Baihu University's strength today has actually shown signs of a gap in the lead.
Having won the championship for five consecutive years, its name "White Tiger" has accumulated a lot of honors and fans.
In the eyes of most ordinary people, "White Tiger" has become the best martial arts school in the Xia Kingdom. Over the years, more than 70% of the top scorers in martial arts examinations in various provinces have chosen "White Tiger", which shows its strength and foundation.
Qi Sui narrowed his eyes and looked back.
At the entrance at the end of my sight, a group of young people wearing uniform white martial arts school uniforms slowly walked out of the carriage.
The three teachers in the lead, two men and one woman, were about forty years old. Their every move exuded an indescribable powerful aura, as if one were seeing a towering mountain or a vast river or sea.
It turns out that there are three grandmasters leading the team!
Following closely behind them was a burly man who looked like a violent bear. His face was covered with dense hair and beard, and his features could not be seen clearly. He was more than a head taller than Qi Sui, at around two and a half meters tall.
He has built up a body of terrifying muscles with a very visual impact. The originally loose school uniform has been stretched so tight that it has become a tight-fitting suit. His bulging forearms are as thick as the thighs of an average adult male.
"Is this the captain of the White Tiger University team?"
Qi Sui's eyes trembled.
It was also the first time that he felt some pressure from young people of similar age.
Body muscle mass cannot measure a person's fighting strength, but it is definitely an important basis for judging whether one is strong or weak.
This huge creature, which is as big as a violent bear, is probably as strong as himself.
