Chapter 44 Nine Branches

Night came quietly.

Lu Fan was sitting in the room, practicing his Raging Fire Golden Body Art.

There is no limit to martial arts, and every moment cannot be wasted. Lu Fan has become accustomed to using practice instead of sleep.

Under the guidance of Lu Fan, the power of heaven and earth surrounded him, like a furnace, forging his body.

Breathe in, exhale.

A slight mist rose from his body, strengthening his body bit by bit.

Since having the ring given by his family, Lu Fan felt that his cultivation speed had obviously accelerated. Its effect is actually more obvious than that of the Bingxin Meteorite, which Lu Fan did not expect.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Lu Fan."

Lu Fan slowly opened his eyes and put away his energy.

Standing up and opening the door, Lu Ming's figure came into view.

Lu Ming said lightly: "I'm going to the lobby to eat something, do you want to come with me?"

Lu Fan said: "Okay, I haven't even dropped a drop of water since I came in, so it's time for something."

Hearing about eating, Xiao Hei, who was sleeping soundly, woke up and jumped onto Lu Fan's shoulders.

Lu Ming looked at the little girl: "Be careful, you wild beast will eat you poor."

Lu Fan chuckled lightly.

After closing the door, the two walked to the lobby.

At this time, there were quite a few guests eating in the lobby, so Lu Fan and the two found a table and sat down, ordering two small dishes casually.

The two were drinking, and Lu Ming said slowly: "Lu Fan, if we don't get along at home, we don't get along. But when we go out, we are both children of the Lu family, so we should unite and cooperate. The overall situation is the most important thing, I always feel that It's not safe tonight, why don't we just sit here for one night."

Lu Fan said, "Why is it unsafe?"

Lu Ming said slowly: "The shopkeeper of Yushouzhai I met during the day probably won't let it go, and it's very likely that he will send someone over to trouble us at night. Don't think I'm joking. When I was in the academy I have personally witnessed a student coveting a senior brother's weapon, and deliberately designed to kill that senior brother. The outside world is far more dangerous than Jianglin City."

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, he wasn't really afraid of the shopkeeper of the Beast Control Studio. Even if the opponent has the strength of the Outer Gang Realm.

Lu Fan was more interested in the affairs of the Martial Arts Academy, and said, "How can there be such a thing in the Martial Arts Academy?"

Lu Ming smiled lightly and said, "Of course there is. You will know when you go, it is a place where people cannibalize people. It forces you to grow up quickly, otherwise you will be eliminated."

Lu Fan said: "Oh, can you tell me about the Martial Arts Academy? It's good to have a bottom line."

Lu Mingdao: "Yes. First of all, I want to tell you. The Martial Arts Academy is not a simple academy as you think. It is divided into nine branches, just like nine sects. Each branch teaches different things. .And the strength of each branch is also divided into high and low. After you go to the Martial Arts Academy, there will be a round of competition for new students. New students who perform well will be assigned to better branches, and Bad students can only be assigned to poor branches. You have to be mentally prepared."

Lu Fan nodded understandingly. Regarding the matter of the branch, he knew the one-yuan branch that the master wanted him to enter, and he didn't know anything else. I have never heard of the distribution of competitions.

Lu Fan asked aloud, "Among the nine branches, which one is the strongest?"

Lu Ming smiled and said: "Your goal is quite high. The strongest branch is the Yinyang Academy. Last year, 30 new students were accepted, and this year is estimated to be the same number. If you want to enter, try to get in as much as possible during the competition." The first thirty will do."

Lu Fan snorted. He was a little surprised that the strongest branch was not the one-yuan branch that the master said.

Lu Fan then asked: "What about the second branch, the third branch? Why don't you tell me the ranking of the nine colleges?"

Lu Mingdao: "The second strongest branch is the Qingjian Academy, which accepts mostly students who are interested in practicing swordsmanship, so it should be more suitable for you."

Speaking of this, Lu Ming glanced at the epee behind Lu Fan.

"The third is the Piaomiao Academy, which focuses on body cultivation. The fourth is the Hengshan Academy, which is mainly used for body training. The fifth is the Thunder Academy, which is nothing special, but the Lei Dao Martial Art is very domineering. The sixth is the Kongtong Academy, The martial arts and martial arts are average, but the victory lies in stability and balance. The seventh is Qianrenyuan, where there are miscellaneous repairs, and there are all kinds of weapons. The eighth is Mingxinyuan. The people in this academy are peacemakers and do not like to fight. , don’t fight for victory or defeat, and rarely communicate with people from other colleges. The ninth is the Yuanyuan. I don’t know what is outstanding about this college. The only thing I know is that although it is one of the nine colleges, the There are very few disciples, it is said that there are only three or five of them."

Lu Fan was shocked, three or five people? Ranked last, how could the Unity Branch be like this.

The master didn't deliberately trick him, did he?

Lu Fan swallowed his saliva and said, "Is this Yuan Yuan so bad?"

Lu Ming shook his head and said: "It's not good to comment. I heard from my instructor that since the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy, there was a Yuanyuan in the first three branches. Back then, the Yuanyuan was also the facade of the Martial Arts Academy, and the disciples under it were all masters. The Martial Arts Academy only knew about the First Yuanyuan. Later, the First Yuanyuan gradually declined, and it ranked at the bottom every year, as if it had never produced a master. However, those students who graduated from the First Yuanyuan were all mixed up later. It’s famous. It’s really a strange branch. You can say it’s strong, but I don’t know where it’s strong. You can say it’s weak, but the disciples are very competitive, at least after leaving the academy.”

After a pause, Lu Ming continued: "Besides, the Daoguang master of the Yuanyuan has a strange temper. He scoffs at the geniuses that others look up to. Instead, it is those poor poor people who are bullied every day. I really like teaching."

Lu Fan frowned slightly, it sounded a little funny.

"Then which college are you in?" Lu Fan asked casually.

Lu Mingdao: "I don't have enough foundation, I didn't do well in the competition, so I entered Qianrenyuan. By the way, Zhang Yuehan from the Zhang family was originally from Qianrenyuan, but later he fell in love with a senior from Piaomiaoyuan. She was actually allowed to mix into Piaomiaoyuan. It's time for the hospital, hehe."

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and refused to comment.

At this time, the dishes were finally served, Xiao Hei did his part and started eating directly. Lu Fan and Lu Ming also ate and chatted, and continued to inquire about the situation of the Martial Arts Academy.

But in the dark corner of the lobby, neither Lu Fan nor Lu Ming noticed that the fat shopkeeper of Yushouzhai was sitting there.

The darkness completely covered the fat shopkeeper's body, looking at Lu Fan and Lu Ming who were talking happily. The fat shopkeeper's face was a little ugly.

He originally planned to come here tonight and directly steal Xiao Hei away, but he didn't expect that at this time, Lu Fan and Lu Ming were not staying in the room, but ran to the lobby to eat. Looks like he'll have to wait a while longer.

Staring fixedly at Xiao Hei on Lu Fan's shoulder, the fat shopkeeper's heart became hotter the more he looked at it, and his eyes were full of covetousness.

This desolate beast, if he read it correctly, is a hybrid of dragon and demon. It is very rare, and the most important thing is that it is still an immature cub.

As long as there is a little bit of stimulation, it will be a powerful mount in the future, and its strength is no less than that of Digang, or even Tiangang warriors.

How can such a young beast be measured by money, it is simply priceless.

The fat shopkeeper made up his mind to get this desolate beast.

The fat shopkeeper quietly waited for Lu Fan and Lu Ming to return to their rooms before he could make a move. But he didn't know that Lu Ming and Lu Fan didn't plan to go back to their room tonight, they planned to chat here until dawn.

The people around gradually left, or went back to the room to sleep, or went home to leave.

But Lu Fan and Lu Ming were still sitting there, ordering pot after pot of wine, and had no intention of getting up at all.

The fat shopkeeper got a little impatient with waiting, so why don't you just take advantage of the night and just rob it. Anyway, as long as they don't admit it afterwards, what can these two outsiders do to him?

Determined to pay attention, the fat shopkeeper was ready to do it.

But at this moment, a beautiful figure came out. When seeing this girl, the fat shopkeeper's body stopped instantly.

"Serve the food, serve the food, serve this girl a table of delicious food."

The sound was so clear and sweet that everyone who was still in the lobby turned their heads to look at it, and their eyes lit up immediately.

Rare to see such a beauty!

Lu Fan also turned his head to look, and when he saw the girl's face, Lu Fan was startled.

She was not the one in Xishan that day. . . . .

The girl also glanced around, and suddenly met Lu Fan's eyes.

"It's you!"

Lu Fan and the girl cried out almost at the same time.

The girl got up immediately and said to Lu Fan, "Boy, this time I will see where you are going."

As she said that, a fiery red dagger appeared in the girl's hand, and she rushed towards Lu Fan like lightning.

Before Lu Ming could react in time, he was kicked away by the girl. Turning around in mid-air, the girl directly landed on Lu Fan with a dagger.

Lu Fan's reaction was also very quick. The moment the girl made a move, he pulled out the epee behind him.

Clang, clang!

There were three muffled sounds in a row, which seemed to be a fire dagger, but in fact it was a triple force, which made Lu Fan's arm tremble slightly.

Heavy Sword Art, Breaking Qi Style!

Lu Fan swung his epee sharply, aiming at the girl and falling.

The two swords collided, and the table in front of them was instantly shattered into powder, and both sides retreated three steps at the same time.

Xiao Hei had jumped onto Lu Fan's shoulder at this moment, and he spit out black flames at the girl.

When the girl saw Xiao Hei and Hei Yan, her face paled instantly. At this time, the fat shopkeeper finally rushed out.

"Miss Magic Moon!"

The fat shopkeeper yelled, and then waved his hand to block Hei Yan.

The flame was quickly neutralized in the hands of the fat shopkeeper. The people around were stunned, and they dodged one after another, poking their heads out from the second floor to see the situation below.

Lu Ming finally stood up, and Huanyue's casual kick almost made him lose his ability to move.

Looking at the fat shopkeeper, and then at Huanyue, Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "So, you are in the same group."

Huanyue frowned and said: "What kind of gang. Fatty, who are you?"

The fat on the shopkeeper's face trembled. He really didn't want to come out, but he couldn't. He said, "Miss Huanyue, I'm the shopkeeper of Yushou Zhai in Dongshan City. My name is Xu Dan."

Huanyue let out a groan, and then said: "It's from Yushouzhai. Understood, you should get out of the way first. I have a debt to settle with this guy."
