Chapter 12 Challenge

Suru left gracefully, taking away the faint fragrance, and the entire East Garden suddenly lost some of its brightness, Chu Li felt inexplicably melancholy.

He warmed the two seeds with spiritual power to make them full of vitality. After planting them, they quickly germinated and grew rapidly. They broke through the mud in two days, revealing tender green shoots.

He found that they grew extraordinarily, and the speed doubled sharply, and the time of one month was shortened to ten days, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, the white mist is like a tulle, curling up on the vast lake, like a dream.

Suru appeared with a faint fragrance, and stood gracefully in front of the moonlight orchid garden, looking at Chu Li with a smile: "Is it really done?"

Chu Li pointed to the six jade boxes on the stone table.

Suru smiled and asked, "So fast?"

"Practice makes perfect." Chu Li said with a smile: "The temptation of the sixth rank is too great, I'm desperate this time."

Suru said: "Rank 6 is worth fighting for. When you step into the middle floor, you can enter the library to read some secret books. You must be very interested."

"Yes." Chu Li nodded with a smile.

The fourth floor of the library building is called the Pavilion of Different Scriptures, which can only be entered at the sixth grade. There are secret books of broken scriptures inside, secrets and strange things that ordinary people cannot understand.

"Boss, can I enter the Palace of Martial Arts?"

"Yanwu Palace?" Suru was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "You still don't give up and want to practice martial arts?"

Chu Li smiled.

"Of course you can enter. You are the sixth rank, and you can see the top secrets." Suru said regretfully, "It's a pity that the higher the martial arts, the more solid the foundation is."

Martial arts is no different from other subjects, such as learning advanced mathematics, without previous foundation, it is like reading from heaven.

"There are always some swords that take the wrong edge, right?"

"Well..., there are some, but it's best not to practice."

"I'm just curious."

"The grades in the mansion are common. If you reach the sixth grade, you can see the secrets of the gods. In fact, the secrets are important, and you can't practice without enough resources!"

Chu Li nodded.

Practicing martial arts is similar to studying medicine in later generations. If you have a good teacher, practice your hands frequently, and watch high-level operations, you can't become a genius doctor just by holding a medical book.

"Chu Li, you are a smart person, so I don't need to talk too much, but I still want to remind you, don't practice martial arts without building a foundation!"

"Thank you sir!"

"Oh..., you..." Suru smiled and shook her head, thinking that Chu Li could not listen to persuasion.

——

The Martial Arts Hall is a towering high-rise building made of copper, which is almost exactly the same as the library building. It stands behind the empty and wide training ground, and the bronze luster is shining.

The training ground is paved with red clay, and hundreds of people are competing, it is very lively.

Chu Li came to Yanwu Hall alone, Li Yue was worried about Yueguanglan, and stayed on the island to watch all the time, for fear that something might go wrong.

Entering the gate of Yanwu Hall, a long sandalwood cabinet stands in front of it, behind which sit two beautiful young girls, both in lake green shirts, saluting with smiles.

Chu Li handed over the waist card, and the two girls looked at him in surprise. Such a young sixth-rank is very rare, so they hurriedly handed over a bronze waist card respectfully.

Chu Li glanced at it, and saw four white clouds engraved on the bronze medal.

The two girls stretched out their hands and bent down, beckoning him to please go upstairs.

Chu Li nodded lightly, stepped upstairs, and went directly to the fourth floor on the top floor. Two middle-aged guards stood in front of the stairs, glanced at Chu Li's waist card, and did not stop him.

These two middle-aged people are only rank nine guards.

But it is enough, not to mention the ninth-rank guards, even if they are ninth-rank guards, no one dares to break in. If you really break in and be kicked out, you will lose the chance to come back.

Stepping up to the fourth floor, it was suddenly deserted.

There are few people, and there are few bookshelves. Unlike the densely packed bookshelves on the second and third floors, there are only five bookshelves on the fourth floor, each with about a hundred books.

The books here are not allowed to be taken out of the building, not to be transcribed, you can only memorize them by yourself, and come back to read if you can’t remember them. The second and third floors are very lively, but there are only five people on the fourth floor, which is as deserted as a library.

Chu Li looked through the secret books on the shelf one by one, all of them were the mental methods and martial arts in the realm of the gods, and every time he took them out, there would be a bloody storm.

He flipped through them one by one, and after half a day, he memorized half of the bookshelf. He planned to spend five days imprinting all the secrets into his mind.

——

He put the last secret book back, stretched long, and walked out of the Martial Arts Hall. All the secret books on the top floor were in his mind, and he wanted to go back and choose carefully, which one to practice.

After leaving the Martial Arts Hall and passing through the Martial Arts Field, he was stopped halfway.

Zhuo Feiyang wore a sapphire blue gown, hugged his shoulders, and stood in front of him with a sneer on his face, while Zhao Ying showed a worried look beside him.

Chu Li frowned at him.

Zhuo Feiyang snorted, "You surnamed Chu, what are you doing here!"

Chu Li glanced at him, didn't bother to talk to him, and continued walking.

Zhuo Feiyang broke through the seventh rank, his self-confidence was inflated, and he would surely be able to avenge his shame, so he stepped in the way again: "Chu, you are afraid!"

"I'm afraid!" Chu Li nodded, and said seriously: "I'm really afraid of a shameless person like you. If you can't be provoked, you can always hide?"

"One more match!" Zhuo Feiyang snorted, "Don't think that you are really good, but you are just a waste who can't practice martial arts!"

Chu Li smiled: "You can compare if you want?"

He shook his head and sighed: "Zhuo Feiyang, if you have this spare time, go back and practice hard, don't be ashamed and discredit the face of geniuses!"

Zhuo Feiyang's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and his sharp tongue was far inferior to his own. He beat this guy until he cried for his father and mother. He took out a post from his arms and shot at Chu Li: "Go on!"

Posts are like a hidden weapon, fast and ruthless.

Chu Lixin took it, opened it and glanced at it, smiled and shook his head: "I don't accept it!"

"Chu, coward!" Zhuo Feiyang's handsome face darkened, and he sneered, "You are not worthy of being a man!"

Chu Li couldn't help laughing: "Zhuo Feiyang, it's not up to you to say whether I deserve it or not, by the way, remember the bet last time, you are my bodyguard now!"

Zhuo Feiyang looked up to the sky and laughed.

Chu Li looked at him lightly.

Zhuo Feiyang laughed for a while before he stopped, pointing at him and laughing: "Chu, you are confused, I will be your bodyguard?"

Chu Li nodded: "Admit the bet and admit defeat, you don't want to admit it?"

"Hey, I just want to admit it, and the government regulations don't allow it!" Zhuo Feiyang smiled proudly: "I'll be your bodyguard? Hey, you deserve it, I'm the seventh rank!"

"So, you don't want to admit it?" Chu Li asked with a smile.

Zhuo Feiyang withdrew his smile, and said with a gloomy face, "Let's wait until when you become the sixth rank. I did, but I didn't say when!"

Chu Li smiled: "So, as long as I am at the sixth rank, you will obediently be my guard?"

"If you can reach the sixth rank, of course I will!" Zhuo Feiyang laughed again: "But if you want to become the sixth rank, wait another twenty years. By that time, I may already be the fourth rank or even the third rank. The guards are not worthy!"

Chu Li shook his head.

Zhuo Feiyang laughed triumphantly: "So, Chu, you are a piece of trash, you will never turn over, you can only kneel at my feet, haha! Hahaha!"

Chu Li looked him up and down.

Seeing his strange gaze, Zhuo Feiyang's heart skipped a beat, and then he was annoyed, angrily said: "Unconvinced? Then fight!"

"Forget it, get out of the way." Chu Li shook his head: "If you don't get out of the way, I'll give myself a punch!"

Zhuo Feiyang glared at him angrily: "Chu, are you shameless?"

Chu Li smiled: "Do you think you have shame?"

As he spoke, he walked forward and bumped straight at Zhuo Feiyang. Zhuo Feiyang took a step back and hummed: "I will spare you today, you cowardly rat!"

Chu Li smiled, shook his head and walked out.

Zhao Ying frowned and said displeasedly: "Brother Zhuo, forget it."

"Junior Sister Zhao, you can't sympathize with this kind of guy, he is a wolf, you have to kill him if he has the chance, otherwise he will bite you back!"

"Brother Chu, after all, he can't practice internal skills. Brother Zhuo, you are really disgusting for your behavior!" Zhao Ying snorted.

Zhuo Feiyang stared at Chu Li's back and shook his head.

Zhao Ying snorted, "Brother Zhuo, let's compete!"

Zhuo Feiyang frowned and remained silent.

"Brother Zhuo?" Zhao Ying turned cold.

Zhuo Feiyang was thoughtful.

"Brother Zhuo—!" Zhao Ying shouted angrily.

She doesn't like Zhuo Feiyang, but she doesn't like Chu Li either. It's just that her kind nature makes her sympathize with the weak. Chu Li is no match for him now and will only suffer.

Zhuo Feiyang raised his head, laughed a few times, and frowned again: "I always feel that he has a conspiracy waiting for me, it's not appropriate!"

"Senior Brother Zhuo, you are so small, you really can't be seen, and you are still a masculine man!" Zhao Ying sneered.

Zhuo Feiyang shook his head: "My intuition is very accurate, and I have never made any mistakes. It has saved my life several times!"

Zhao Ying turned around and left.

Chu Li stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, with the lake wind blowing his face, Zhuo Feiyang wanted to avenge his shame, and of course he wanted to fulfill him, but he couldn't lose points in front of the third lady, because a small loss made a big difference.

Regarding the spiritual land, he now wants to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

The challenge field has the right to choose the venue, and Yi Zhuo's flying character will definitely be humiliated and elated in front of the eyes of everyone in the Yanwu Hall.

Chu Li quickly returned to East Garden, wrote two posts, and asked Li Yue to help deliver them.

Li Yue read the post and looked up at him.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Yue said: "Brother, what are you playing here?... Challenge Zhuo Feiyang again?"

Chu Li smiled and nodded.

"...Well, I guess he will accept it without hesitation!" Li Yue shook his head and said, "But are you really sure?"

"Try to know."

"Isn't it too risky?" Li Yue raised his heart immediately: "He is now a seventh-rank!"

"Victory and defeat are commonplace, it doesn't matter."

"Oh...you really have a big heart!"

Li Yue shook his head and left with two posts.
