Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 105
[Chapter 105: Hunting the Murderer]
After leaving Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu came to the Martial Arts Academy.
His schedule is now fully scheduled every day.
In the morning, he practices with Lingyin on the Xuanbing bed, and then practices with Princess Minghe. After lunch at noon, he goes to Lihua Garden to listen to Caiyi singing on odd days, and goes to the harem to see the imperial concubine on even days, and practices martial arts in the afternoon.
After returning home in the evening, the two secret detectives responsible for protecting his safety will also leave.
When it is completely dark and everyone in the Lin Mansion has rested, Lin Xiu will take advantage of the night to use his flying ability to leave home, and his room has already turned off the lights, so he will not arouse suspicion.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. Although Lin Xiu is not a slow bird, he is indeed far behind his peers who have been practicing since childhood. If he wants to catch up with them, he must work harder.
Among the four heaven-level and earth-level abilities he now possesses, the practice of thunder power is the simplest, and he only needs to wait for the opportunity.
Strength can be trained through the two meteorites, and freezing and spiritual sound can be practiced. However, the fire control ability obtained from Princess Minghe cannot be practiced at home by Lin Xiu. He can only go out of the city every night, find a deserted place, practice to the bottleneck and come back. Although it is
very tiring to practice like this, it is worth it.
In his body, both the Yuanli and the Zhenqi are growing at a very fast speed.
On the second day, when Lin Xiu was practicing his gun in his own small courtyard of the martial arts academy, Bai Jiaoshi walked in from outside, looked at him, nodded and said, “Not bad, you have made great progress these days.”
Lin Xiu clasped his fists and said, “It’s all thanks to the good teaching of the instructor.”
He was grateful to the instructor of the martial arts academy from the bottom of his heart.
Martial arts is not a path that can be studied by oneself. It is precisely because of the guidance of these pioneers that Lin Xiu has made today’s progress.
Bai Jiaoshi usually doesn’t smile, but now he can’t help but smile, saying: “It’s the result of your own efforts. I can see that you have worked hard outside the martial arts academy.”
This is true. Lin Xiu has the ability to heal, his body is tireless, and he has several times more time to practice than ordinary students, so he naturally progresses faster.
Bai Jiaoshi taught him a few more spear techniques, and then said: “Go to the training ground at 9:00 tomorrow. Several instructors will take you out of the city for practical training. Remember not to be late.”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I know.”
9:00 is about nine o’clock in the morning. Lin Xiu should not have time to practice with Princess Minghe tomorrow. Today, he has to tell her in advance, and Lingyin must also notify her. When
he returned home in the evening, Lin Xiu sat at the table, and the short-tailed parrot flew in from outside.
These days, Lin Xiu has not stopped monitoring the prince.
Perhaps because the previous two assassinations failed, the prince could not find a more powerful assassin for a while, and he has not arranged a new action against Lin Xiu.
But he obviously will not give up, and the assassin he sends next time is very likely to be a ground-level assassin.
Even though Lin Xiu still had many hidden cards, he still had no chance of winning against a strong earth-level warrior. Lin Xiu could see the gap between him and the earth-level instructor of the martial arts academy.
In this case, every time he went out of the city openly, he would be in danger.
However, when he went out of the city tomorrow, he would have an instructor and two secret detectives to protect him. Even if the prince really sent an earth-level assassin, he would not be able to return.
Moreover, under the close surveillance of the parrot, Lin Xiu knew that the prince was either practicing or handling official business today. He also visited two palace maids in the middle and did not see anyone else.
The next morning, Lin Xiu arrived at the martial arts academy on time. There were already several figures waiting on the training ground.
Lin Xiu was not unfamiliar with these people. Without exception, they were all his classmates in the Tianzi Academy.
Before the age of eighteen, the martial arts cultivation entered the upper realm of the Xuan level, which was the minimum requirement for entering the Tianzi Academy. Therefore, regardless of whether these people were men or women, their strength was all in the upper realm of the Xuan level, of course, except for Lin Xiu.
Although Lin Xiu’s martial arts cultivation is very low, none of the geniuses in Tianzi Academy dare to look down on him.
Because he is very fast.
Any one of them, with Lin Xiu’s speed, can also sweep away everyone in Tianzi Academy except them, so even if Lin Xiu’s true energy is very weak, they still respect him as a strong man.
When Lin Xiu came to the training ground, everyone took the initiative to greet him with fists.
Lin Xiu also returned the greetings one by one, and remembered the names of these people by the way. Every student in the martial arts academy is one in a thousand or ten thousand. They can stand out among hundreds of geniuses and occupy a seat in Tianzi Academy. Everyone has outstanding qualities.
This time, there are only eleven students from Tianzi Academy in the actual combat training.
For this reason, the academy is equipped with fifteen earth-level instructors.
Each instructor is responsible for one student and has surplus. This is the unique resource of Tianzi Academy. Training outside is dangerous, and the academy will ensure the safety of every genius.
The location of this training was chosen in Yunshan.
After leaving the city, the instructor told them today’s task.
A few days ago, a group of extremely vicious bandits appeared in the Yunshan area. They robbed a caravan passing by the foot of Yunshan, killed all the merchants and accompanying guards of the caravan, and then fled into Yunshan without a trace.
Yunshan is connected to the Baiyun Mountains. It is unrealistic to send troops to encircle and suppress a few bandits on a large scale. In order to train the actual combat capabilities of the people in Tianziyuan, the Wudao Academy took over this task.
Lin Xiu and his team’s task is to find these bandits and destroy them.
Those people must be hiding somewhere in Yunshan. They dare not go deep into the Baiyun Mountains. The strange beasts there are much more terrifying than the pursuers of the court.
However, even so, this task is not simple. It tests not only their actual combat capabilities, but it is also not easy to find those people in this vast mountain.
The Wudao Academy does not want the students they train to be reckless men who can only fight. Students of the academy often participate in such real tasks.
Of course, such dangerous tasks are not done in vain.
The academy will give a big reward to the person who finds and eliminates this group of bandits.
This time the reward is a weapon made of meteorite iron.
Meteorite iron is usually wrapped in the center of a large meteorite. It is a material that does not exist on the continent and only exists outside the sky. Its density and hardness are far beyond ordinary steel.
Only when the meteorite falls will a small amount of meteorite iron be produced.
Weapons made of meteorite iron are the best among weapons. In addition to being sharper and harder than ordinary weapons, this material is also easier to infuse with true qi, making it the most ideal weapon for warriors.
If you can get a meteorite iron spear, then the one he is carrying on his back can be thrown away.
At this time, Bai Jiaoxi looked at Lin Xiu and said, “This is not the academy. You must always be vigilant. Although I will protect your safety, I cannot avoid all accidents. In the past ten years, two students have died in such missions.”
Lin Xiu nodded seriously and said, “I know.”
According to reliable intelligence, there are about ten bandits in this group, two of whom are at the upper level of the Xuan level, and the rest are at the lower level of the Xuan level or the Huang level. No one has been found to have special abilities.
Anyone from Tianziyuan can deal with a bandit of this strength.
After entering Yunshan, the eleven people separated.
Instructor Bai followed Lin Xiu ten feet away. He was only responsible for protecting Lin Xiu’s safety and would not provide him with any help. The old beggar and the peddler also followed Instructor Bai. Their mission was to protect Lin Xiu. Even if Lin Xiu had an instructor from the martial arts academy, they would not let Lin Xiu leave their sight.
Finding someone in the mountains is not an easy task.
Even though Lin Xiu has amazing eyesight and is good at observing subtle traces, Yunshan is too big and full of trees. Even if he flies to the sky, he can only see the treetops.
He has to find a few helpers for himself.
“Bang bang bang…”
On a tree in front of Lin Xiu, a woodpecker was pecking at the tree. Suddenly, it stopped and flapped its wings to fly high into the sky.
Not long after, more than a dozen birds flew out of the forest one after another and flew to the depths of Yunshan from different directions.
At the same time, other students from Tianziyuan also found some traces.
Zhou Hong stood beside a large extinguished fire, observed for a long time, chose a direction, and continued to move forward.
Zheng Yi moved his true energy to his legs, jumped on the tree trunks, and finally found several rows of footprints on a path. The footprints were very deep, and it was obvious that he was carrying heavy objects…
Lin Xiu walked aimlessly in the forest, and from time to time he heard a few birds singing. Every time this happened, he would change direction. Of course, in the eyes of Bai Jiaoxi and others, his movements seemed irregular.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Xiu stopped.
This was originally a deep mountain with few people, and even hunters would not go deep here, but some of the short shrubs growing here had obvious traces of being chopped with swords and knives, obviously to open the way.
And under the bushes, there was also a row of messy footprints.
Judging from the footprints, there were a total of eight people who walked through here.
Lin Xiu looked at the broken branches and the traces were still new, which meant that those people had not gone far.
He continued forward along the traces left by the bushes.
Soon, Instructor Bai walked to his position and looked at the traces left around him. He was extremely surprised.
He actually bumped into him…
What kind of luck is this?
