Chapter 3: Iron Tower Pass! Second Update
Each student had a separate set of rooms, Tang Lin put Xiao Hui down from the bundle, put all the clean clothes on the bed, and then directly began to observe the mysterious painting scroll.
He had originally planned to go out and take a look around, see the Red Star Tower, but along the way he saw those students, his heart had already stirred up a strong fighting spirit.
Get stronger! Get stronger!
Tang Lin was eager to practice day and night without stopping.
……
The next day, at around eight o'clock in the morning, Tang Lin received a notice to gather in the square downstairs. The martial arts training ground of the Scarlet Star Building was divided into eight sections, each with an extremely large area. Tang Lin's training ground was the sixth one.
In the martial arts arena.
Tang Lin stood together with five other students, among whom two he had met before. One was Xie Jianfeng, and the other was the genius girl who was preparing for the test yesterday. In addition, there were three more people, two males and one female. The two males looked like they were seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Xie Jianfeng. The girl was around twenty years old, looking elegant and beautiful, with a gentle aura surrounding her.
"Hello everyone." A young man with short black hair, standing in front of the crowd, smiled lightly and said: "My name is Liu Hui, I am your martial arts instructor. From today on, unless you are promoted to the fourth level of the Green Star Building, I will be the one teaching you all."
"Let's all introduce ourselves first and get to know each other. Later, if we enter the cave to hunt, you'll be partners." Liu Hui said with a smile.
"My name is Wang Yong, I am from Bai Niao City."
"My name is Zhang Tao, I'm from Dusk City."
"My name is Xu Yan, I'm from Qingzhou City."
"My name is Zhao Ziqi, I'm from Purple Qing City."
Then Tang Lin and Xie Jianfeng, after introducing themselves one by one, Liu Hui nodded with a smile: "Very good, from today on, you are a group. Today I will teach you the basic knowledge of body techniques, and after learning, I will take you to Tie Ta Guan."
Eiffel Tower?
Tang Lin and Xie Jianfeng were among those who lit up at this.
"Teacher, why are we going to charge the Iron Tower Pass today when we haven't learned anything yet?" Zhao Ziyu pouted, she was the girl who was admitted together with him yesterday.
Liu Hui smiled slightly and said, "It's precisely because of this that I want you to go experience it for yourselves. Then, when you train normally, you will be even more diligent. Next time you go out to gain experience, you will be able to feel your progress even more deeply."
Tang Lin's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Iron Tower Pass
I don't know what kind of thing it is.
"So-called body methods." Liu Hui stood in front of everyone and said, "I believe you all have some foundation in body methods, or have learned one or two sets of body methods. No matter what kind of body method it is, from the basics, they all have some similarities!"
"To practice the body method, you must first practice the step method, balance, and reaction ability. From today on, I will teach you to train your balance." Liu Hui turned around and said: "Follow me."
Tang Lin and others hurriedly followed up.
Arrived at the other end of the martial arts arena.
All I see is a patch of uneven wooden stakes here, with white thin ropes connecting each stake.
"After that, you can practice on this every day. First, walk on the wooden stakes, then walk on the thin rope." Liu Hui looked at everyone and smiled: "Generally speaking, after practicing for a month, you will be able to fly over eaves and walls, perform light skills, and only after mastering light skills can you learn body methods!"
"Mastering qinggong in just one month?" Everyone was secretly shocked.
Qinggong may not be a particularly powerful martial art, but wanting to learn it, without one or two years of hard work, is very difficult to achieve anything.
"You can go and try." Liu Hui smiled.
"I'm coming." Zhao Ziyu's eyes flashed with determination, her body flickered and she was the first to dash onto a wooden stake. She stood on top of the stake, steadied herself, and stepped towards the next one.
One after another.
Before long, Zhao Ziyu was in her element, laughing softly as she flashed onto a thin rope.
"Ah!" Zhao Ziyu's body tilted to one side and fell from the thin rope.
Whoosh!
Liu Hui's body appeared under her like a gentle breeze, catching and putting her down, smiling: "Wait until your sense of balance reaches a certain level, then you can walk on the thin rope, don't be too impatient."
Zhao Zi'er's face suddenly flushed with heat.
Then, Tang Lin and Xie Jianfeng and others, all took turns to try, among which Xie Jianfeng did the best, not only could he walk on the wooden stake, but also on the thin rope, he could also walk slowly, which made Liu Hui extremely surprised.
But the worst performer was Tang Lin.
He stood on the wooden stake with some shaking, walking the slowest. At a glance, it can be seen that his balance is not strong. This is not surprising for Tang Lin, after all, he has only been in contact with martial arts for less than a year. Things like balance require time to grind and slowly reach.
Xie Jianfeng, who had been keeping a straight face all along, saw Tang Lin's clumsy appearance and the corners of his mouth curved up in an arc, as if he had won a victory.
The morning is over.
After having a sumptuous lunch, Liu Hui led Tang Lin and the other six people to the location of the Iron Tower Pass. It was a small building with a large black iron gate closed tightly, on which was carved a ferocious beast head.
"This is the Iron Tower Pass." Liu Hui explained to everyone, "The Iron Tower Pass is divided into three layers, with 72 iron men on each layer. One must defeat all the iron men to successfully pass the level, and those who pass can bring their own weapons inside."
"Is this impassable?" Zhao Ziyu looked at this pitch-black giant iron gate and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Hui smiled and said, "Of course it's difficult. In the Red Star Tower, there are a total of 673 people. Five hundred and twenty-one people can pass the first level, thirty-two people can pass the second level, and as for the third level, only three people have passed successfully in the past thousand years."
"Three people?" Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
In a thousand years' time, there were actually only three people who succeeded?
"There were originally only two people." Liu Hui smiled and said, "Half a year ago, a genius suddenly appeared in the martial arts hall, directly breaking through three levels. Every person who breaks through the third level will have their name engraved here, becoming an immortal witness." As he spoke, he pointed to a black stone monument beside the gate.
Everyone followed his gaze.
"Snowy Journey in 1904, Adventurer: Takano!"
"Cang Xue Li 2694 years, challenger: Murong Yijian!"
"Cang Xue Li 3102 years, challenger: Yan Chong!"
"Cang Xue Li 3719 years, challenger: Tang Xiao Feng!"
Tang Lin's body suddenly shook violently, and when he saw the last name on the record, his entire body seemed to be set ablaze.
Second sister!
It's actually Second Sister!
Tang Lin never thought that this recently rising genius who had been making a name for himself in the jianghu would actually be his own second sister!
Could it be a namesake? Tang Lin shook his head, such a coincidence was too rare.
"Our martial arts hall was built a long time ago." The rest of the people's attention, however, shifted to another issue.
Liu Hui smiled and said: "Of course, our martial arts hall was established about a thousand years after the founding of the country, and it has a history of nearly three thousand years now."
Three thousand years!
Everyone was shocked.
"Coach." Tang Lin suddenly spoke up, looking at Liu Hui and saying: "This last adventurer, do you know where he is?"
Liu Hui looked at him in surprise, shook his head and said: "Not very clear, since she made a breakthrough in the 'Star Domain', she was taken as a personal disciple by the master of the pavilion, living in the Star Pavilion. We ordinary instructors don't have permission to know her whereabouts."
"Is he the direct disciple of the sect leader?" Tang Lin was shocked in his heart.
It's no wonder that the entire Seven Star Martial Arts Hall can cultivate so many martial gods, the hall master's strength is self-evident, at the very least they are all martial god level!
Second sister unexpectedly had such an opportunity, was taken in by the master of the museum as a close disciple, and also managed to break through the third pass of the Iron Tower, famous for thousands of years!
"It's getting late." Liu Hui waved his hand and said, "Who will start the adventure first?"
"I'm coming!" Zhao Ziyu said first.
Rumble...
The gate of Iron Tower slowly opened, and the crowd looked out to find that inside was pitch black, with vague figures standing in the darkness.
"Go ahead." Liu Hui said.
Zhao Ziyu plucked up her courage, pulled out a slender soft sword from her waist, and walked into the gate. Then, under everyone's gaze, the gate slowly closed.
In the midst of a quiet and heavy wait, everyone could only hear their own breathing sounds. After an unknown amount of time, the large gate reopened, and Zhao Ziyu's figure emerged from inside in disarray. Her clothes were tattered, her hair was messy, there were bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, and her pale slender hands had bruises all over them.
Liu Hui smiled and said: "Very good, the first time you broke through, you were able to hold on for five minutes at the first pass. Go and comprehend some Golden Wound Medicine first."
Zhao Ziyu looked at Tang Lin and others with a sympathetic gaze, then turned around and quickly left without looking back.
Seeing her in such a miserable state, everyone felt their scalp numb. The power of the Martial Artist's Realm could only last for five minutes inside, so what kind of monsters were those who had made it to the third trial?
"I'm coming." Wang Yong gritted his teeth and walked up.
After a few minutes, the gate reopened and he walked out disheveled, without even looking at anyone, and quickly left.
"Held on for four minutes." Liu Hui stroked his chin and said, "It seems that everyone's qualifications are not bad. Among the six people, two of them can actually hold on for more than three minutes."
Looking at the satisfied smile on his face, everyone thought he was a devil. Next was a woman named Xu Yan, who only lasted two minutes before retreating, followed by Xie Jianfeng.
Tang Lin watched as Xie Jianfeng's figure disappeared behind the door, his heart filled with interest in this Iron Tower Prison. At this time, Zhao Ziyu and others who had gone to receive the Golden Wound Medicine had already returned, watching with schadenfreude as Xie Jianfeng entered.
Time flies second by second.
Rumble...
The gate opened, and Xie Jianfeng, although his mouth was stained with blood and his clothes were covered in dust, still stood upright, as if he had an unyielding pride that supported his body, step by step walking out.
"Seven minutes!" Liu Hui looked at Xie Jianfeng in surprise, secretly nodding to himself: "His physical skills are powerful, and he was able to last this long on his first attempt at the Iron Tower Pass. With another month or so of bitter practice, he might be able to get past the first pass."
Xie Jianfeng walked up to Liu Hui's front, but his eyes were looking at Tang Lin, filled with cold arrogance.
Tang Lin didn't respond to him. He gazed at the name on the black stone tablet for a moment, then looked up at the massive black gate and walked in step by step.
