Chapter 47: Martial Arts Academy

  Wings rolled up a violent gust of wind, and the birds in the sky fell slowly to the ground dozens of miles away from Peng City.

  The trees below were all blown down by the strong wind. Lu Fan tightly grasped the feathers of the sky-covering bird, while his other hand pulled Xiao Hei along.

  Lu Ming and Huan Yue also grasped feathers, but the expressions of the two people were different.

  Lu Mingxian looked very tense, the strong wind seemed to have distorted his face, while Huan Yue was shouting loudly, extremely excited.

  At last, the sky bird landed steadily and folded its huge wings.

  Lu Fan and others jumped down from the sky bird, trampling the solid ground into deep pits.

  After the three of them landed safely, the bird spread its wings and took off again.

  The fierce wind blew so hard that Lu Fan and the others couldn't open their eyes, carrying with it the piercing cries of birds wandering in the sky, as the heavenly magpies flew high and far away.

  In an instant, in the sky there was only a small black shadow left.

  Lu Ming brushed off all the dust and leaves on his body, then said: "Let's go, we're going to Wudao Academy."

  Lu Fan and Huan Yue were both here for the first time, so they naturally didn't know the way.

  Lu Ming looked like he was familiar with the place and soon led the two of them onto a small path between the trees.

  A small path made of bluestone slabs stretches far into the distance.

  Lu Ming walked and said, "The Martial Arts Academy is not in Peng City. It's outside Peng City, in the Qiangtian Mountains. Of course, if it's your first time coming here, you can go to Peng City to ask around. Spend a few silver coins and there will be guides to take you there."

  Huan Yue smiled and said, "It's said that the Kongtong Mountains were once the place where the Extreme Strongman Kongtong sat in meditation until he became one with the earth. After his death, his body transformed into the mountain range. Many of his treasures are hidden within the mountains, aren't they?"

  Lu Fan slightly furrowed his brow, "Extreme Strength Master, what kind of realm is this? I've never heard of it before."

  Lumindao said, "Although the college has this legend, it's obviously fake. Who can turn into a mountain range after death? That's too exaggerated. Miss Huan Yue, you don't really believe it, do you?"

  "The frog at the bottom of the well is too lazy to talk to you more."

  Lu Ming was startled and stopped in his tracks.

  Huan Yue took the lead and walked forward, without saying much to Lu Ming.

  Lu Ming looked at Huan Yue's back and muttered, "This woman talks as if she has seen people as big as mountains. I'm just a frog in a well, but she's at most a mother toad."

  Lu Fan opened his mouth, and at this moment he really wanted to tell Lu Ming that Huan Yue's master was a strong practitioner of the Yin-Yang realm. In terms of experience, the other party might be even more than them. However, Lu Fan still didn't say it out loud, everyone has their own secrets. Since Huan Yue hadn't mentioned her master along the way, Lu Fan shouldn't have said anything either.

  The three of them continued walking forward and gradually saw people traveling in the same direction.

  On the different bluestone paths, other people appeared sporadically. Without a doubt, these people were all going to Wudao Academy. On the road, Lu Ming seemed to have seen several familiar fellow disciples and waved his hand in greeting.

  Why did they call Lu Ming's title a bit off? They all called Lu Ming "Green Hair Turtle".

  Lu Fan slightly furrowed his brow. Although he didn't understand whether there was a rule in the Martial Arts Academy about giving people nicknames, Green Hair Turtle wasn't exactly a good name either.

  And judging from their attitude of calling out and laughing at the same time, it's probably a title with a hint of mockery.

  Distant high mountains are faintly visible, towering and majestic. The mist is hazy and envelops the entire mountain body.

  At last, after walking for nearly two hours, everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain.

  Even standing here, it's hard to see the entire mountain clearly. All that can be seen is a passageway for people to walk through between the massive mountains.

  Outside the tunnel, an old man sat, wearing tattered clothes, barefoot, with gray hair and beard.

  Lu Ming turned his head and said: "Take out your jade cards and let that old man take a look before you can enter."

  Lu Fan heard this and took out the jade token, but Huan Yue didn't have any intention of taking the jade token.

  Lu Ming furrowed his brow and looked at Huan Yue, saying: "Where is your jade token?"

  Huan Yue calmly said: "What jade token? I don't have a jade token, I only have an iron token."

  As she spoke, Huan Yue took out a tattered iron plate with a large "Wu" character written on it. Lu Ming's expression changed slightly: "Miss Huan Yue, without the jade token, you can't enter the Wu Dao Academy. What's the use of taking out this iron plate?"

  Huan Yue Dao said: "How do you know it's useless? My iron token is more useful than your jade tokens, believe it or not."

  Lu Ming's face was written all over with disbelief, and at this time, a voice came through.

  "Green-haired turtle Lu Ming, you're back! Haha, this year I can bully you again!"

  The voice was already annoying just by listening to it. A man wearing a purple martial robe, with triangular eyes and a gaunt face, walked over with a smile.

  Behind the man was another man in white martial attire, and the two looked almost identical.

  Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a cold light, his fists clenched slightly.

  "Qian Feng, long time no see, all is well."

  Qian Feng smiled and said, "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong at all. Let me introduce you, this is my younger brother Qian Yu, who just passed the test for Wudao Academy. Qian Yu, this is Lu Ming, the Green-haired Turtle I told you about at home. In the future, if you need anything, want someone to help you gather some herbs, or even do your laundry, you can all find him."

  Qian Yu's lips curled up in a smile, his expression looking gloomy and sinister, as he said: "Understood, brother."

  Qian Feng stepped forward, patted Lu Ming's cheek, and said, "Lu Ming, you'll help out, right?"

  Lu Ming bit his teeth and didn't speak. Lu Fan couldn't help but say at this moment, "Whether he helps or not, it's not up to you to decide."

  Qian Feng turned his head to look at Lu Fan, and the two locked eyes. A faint aura appeared on Lu Fan's body.

  Qian Feng seemed to have sensed Lu Fan's unusualness, and withdrew his hand, saying: "Oh, Lu Ming, you've even brought in reinforcements. Are they also from your family? Hehe, since your family members are present, I won't embarrass you. Let's go back inside, and we'll have a good chat later."

  Qian Feng finished speaking and left with his younger brother Qian Yu, giving the old man a glance at the jade token before entering the passage.

  Lu Fan turned his head and looked at Lu Ming, seemingly Lu Ming didn't have a good time in Wudao Academy.

  Lu Fan paused for a moment before saying: "Lu Ming, do you need any help?"

  "Needless. This is my own business, don't interfere with you, take care of yourself."

  After finishing speaking, Lu Ming took out the jade token and quickly entered the passage.

  "Brother, you have a really bad temper. If I were you, I would have hated him to death since childhood."

  Lu Fan smiled lightly and said: "What you said is right. I really have disliked him since childhood."

  Huan Yue didn't understand what Lu Fan meant by his words, and Lu Fan was too lazy to explain.

  Lu Fan quickly stepped forward and showed the jade token to the old man for a glance.

  "The old man said calmly: 'Go in.'"

  Lu Fan put away the jade token and walked into the passageway, while Huan Yue directly rushed inside. Suddenly, he was stopped by the old man.

  "Student, show me your jade pendant."

  The old man calmly said. Huan Yue threw an iron plate in front of the old man.

  "I don't have a jade pendant."

  The proud way of Phantom Moon. It's as if not having a jade token is still a matter of great face.

  Everyone behind laughed at Huan Yue's words.

  "You don't have a jade token, you're not here to observe, are you?"

  "You've got a screw loose, you're not fit for Wudang Academy. Hurry back home and take your meds."

  。。。。

  Huan Yue turned his head and glared at these people, throwing the iron plate in front of the old man and saying: "Take a closer look, don't tell me I can't go in."

  The old man looked at it with suspicion for a while, and when he saw the word "Wu" on the iron plate clearly, his face suddenly changed.

  Hurriedly and respectfully, he handed the iron plaque back to Huan Yue and said: "So it's Miss Huan Yue who has arrived, please come in, please come in."

  Huan Yue let out a soft hum and strode in, causing everyone outside to be stunned.

  What's going on? Is this okay?

  Lu Fan probably guessed that more than half of the iron plaques were given to Huan Yue by her master. Having a master from the Yin Yang realm is awesome.

  The dark passageway had a sound of dripping water, the passage became more and more narrow, until finally, it could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

  As I walked deeper, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of me.

  Finally arrived at the bright spot, suddenly opened up. The sunlight was dazzling, and the distant view was vast.

  In an instant, a picturesque scene appeared before Lu Fan's eyes.

  In the distance, a magnificent palace stands tall and majestic, as if floating in the clouds. From afar, one can see the intricately carved beams and pillars, shining with a dazzling golden light.

  Above the palace, a flying stone is erected with the two characters "Wu Dao" that capture people's hearts.

  Green hills and clear waters are dotted with flying birds circling around, white clouds swirling around.

  In the center of the palace, there is a large martial arts arena. A group of warriors are practicing inside, their shouts and roars echoing through the wind, strong and powerful.

  Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there are buildings on the cliff wall, winding and serpentine with waterfalls.

  Ancient and elegant pavilions and buildings can be seen everywhere, a river flows outside the palace, and fish jumping out of the water can be vaguely seen.

  It is a style of immortal family air.

  Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, until Huan Yue bumped him and said, "Don't block the way, hurry up and go down."

  Lu Fan finally came back to his senses and walked down.

  Gasps of amazement continued to come from behind, as people walked along the bluestone path, slowly heading down.

  This bluestone path seems to be suspended in mid-air, leading directly to the main gate of the palace.

  The farther you go, the more clearly you can feel the grandeur of the palace complex, which absolutely covers an area of over a thousand miles.

  Finally, arriving at the main gate of Wudang Academy, several instructors had been waiting for a long time and said to the crowd: "New students, all enter Dongxiang Pavilion to live. Three days later, the divisional trial will be held."

  Lu Fan knew what the branch division trial was, but some people didn't know and started inquiring upon hearing it.

  Following a guide, everyone entered through the main gate and headed east.

  Lu Fan kept turning his head to look at the flying rocks above his head.

  The majestic two words of martial arts made Lu Fan extremely delighted, and he could feel that the heaven and earth's energy around him had become exceptionally dense.

  This is absolutely a good place for practice.

  He has come to the wrong place.

  Lu Fan clenched his fists tightly, and for the next three years he would be here. He decided to write his own legend here.
