Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 238 Lantern Festival

Afterwards, Xu Gu'an took a few days of courses at the Grandmaster Martial Academy to experience what it was like to be a student at the Grandmaster Martial Academy, and after that he was not interested in going there.

No matter how much you listen to the lectures of these old seniors, it is not as effective as his few practice points.

If there is anything else in the entire Grandmaster Martial Academy that interests him, it is the Library Pavilion of the Martial Academy.

The Cangshu Pavilion is similar to the Book Pavilion of the Donglan Martial Arts Academy. It contains a large number of classic exercises and martial arts in the world, and provides them for students to practice.

Green-grade martial arts and even blue-grade martial arts abound!
In addition, the innate skills are preserved in it. As long as the students meet the credit requirements and pass the assessment, they are eligible to practice in this master martial arts academy!
This is a huge temptation for any practitioner.

Unfortunately, there are many treasures in the library, so the management is quite strict.

Only a considerable number of students are eligible to enter the Zangshu Pavilion, and each year's freshmen are not eligible to enter the Zangshu Pavilion in the first year, and only after that will they have the opportunity to meet the conditions for entry.

Therefore, even if Xu Guan wanted to enter the library to take a look, he did not have the permission now, so he could only give up the idea for the time being.

this day.

"Brother Xu, there is a lantern festival in the city tonight. Do you want to go and see it?" After class, Zhongshan went to Xu Guan and asked.

"Lantern Festival?" Xu Guan looked around on the pedestrian street.

Every household in Suicheng hung up two large lanterns today, red and yellow, giving a festive look.

This has never happened before.

"It was organized by the government. This lantern festival is probably to quell civil unrest and dispel the oppressive atmosphere brought about by the war." Shen Zhongshan said.

Xu Guan nodded, it would be nice to join in the fun when he had nothing to do.

At night, Xu Guan and other children of the Shen family traveled to the city.

The city was very lively tonight, and the lanterns hung up during the day were lit with candles, illuminating the entire city of Sui.

From time to time, there are patches of sky lanterns flying in the sky, and people will write down their visions for this year on these sky lanterns, hoping to realize them.

In several teahouses and taverns, many elegant people gathered tonight, reciting poems, drinking wine and having fun.

It can be described as a scene of laughter and joy.

A lantern festival seemed to bring this big city back to its heyday before the war overnight.

This is exactly the result that the government, the Ye family, and even the major forces in the city are willing to see.

Only when the city regains its former vitality and vitality can those in power like them continue to develop and grow in the city.

Therefore, not only the government and the Ye family are coordinating this lantern festival, but other big and small forces are also catering to the excitement here.

It was rare for Xu Gu'an to enjoy the warm atmosphere of the festival, and he was in a good mood.

In Donglan Town, there is no such grand festive atmosphere throughout the year, and it is only like this big city that has such a scene.

Gradually late at night, many feasting places in the city also began to sing and dance, the melodious sound of the piano, and the lively atmosphere did not diminish at all.

Xu Gu'an felt the atmosphere, walked around the city a few times, and planned to go back.

At this moment, a huge fire suddenly broke out somewhere in the city, causing a scream that Xu Guan could hear clearly from several streets away.

Looking at the fire that was tens of meters high in the sky, Xu Guan couldn't help but ask: "Is this also the plan for tonight?"

"Uh, this..." Shen Shenshan was also a little confused, not knowing what happened.

Just listening to the frightened scream, I guess it shouldn't be the case.
"Huh?!" Xu Gu'an suddenly saw that the color of the flame gradually changed to black, and it became less obvious when it merged into the night.

The next moment, there was another burst of flames, mixed with the sound of chaotic explosions.

Xu Guan's eyes narrowed, and the color of the flame was also strange, it was blue.

This blue flame is not unfamiliar to him, it is the color of the strange fire in his divine spell.

"This is a spell!" Xu Gu An decided with confidence.

The sudden appearance of the Vulcan Curse means that there are obviously followers of the Vulcan Cult in this city!

This made him a little unexpected.

I thought that the big city has a master as a deterrent, and there are army guards in the city, those cultists dare not break into the city and do anything wrong.

But now it seems that he overestimated the deterrent power of Suicheng, and underestimated the courage of these cultists.

I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that these crazy people dare not do.

"Run away!"

"Help, help!"

"Extinguish the fire, my house is on fire!"

"."

The neighborhood was in chaos, and some people fleeing for their lives had already rushed to the street where Xu Guan was, causing the entire street to be overcrowded and overcrowded.

Now, unlike before, the city's population has recovered by [-]-[-]%, with hundreds of thousands of people permanently resident.

This lantern festival attracted people from all over the city to take part in the streets, and the commotion immediately became extremely chaotic.

At the government office in the city, many shopkeepers and high-ranking officials dispatched one after another, chasing and fleeing these cultists who emerged in the streets.

"Brother Xu, I think we should leave here as soon as possible." Shen Zhongshan said immediately after seeing this scene.

However, before Xu Guan could respond, several men in black robes suddenly rushed out of a street corner. Looking at the swarming crowd, they raised their hands and a wave of blue fire swept over them.

Amidst the sounds of panic, a large number of people swept by the fire wave suddenly turned into burning men, wailing endlessly.

The rest of the people also fled frantically, opening a way for those men in black robes.

Xu Guan knew that being able to activate the blue strange fire was enough to confirm that these Vulcan cultists had innate-level strength.

However, after these Vulcan believers cleared the road, they didn't see them leaving, but they were looking for something everywhere.

"Ouch!" Zhongshan Shan was also shocked by the opponent's flame control, "Brother Xu, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"

"Brother Shen, you take Xiaoxi one step ahead." Xu Gu'an said, and walked away.

Zhongshan wanted to say something more, but Xu Guan's figure had disappeared into the crowd.

"There!" Among the men in black robes, one of them turned his head to look at a figure passing by in a street alley, and said immediately.

Several people quickly rushed into the alley and disappeared.

A moment later, several tall and burly men in black robes appeared on the street. They only glanced at the dozen or so corpses lying on the ground that had been burned to death by the flames, and then disappeared into the street.

After that, several figures arrived at lightning speed. Instead of walking on the streets, they walked quickly on rows of rooftops. They knew the structure of the entire city very well.

They are the masters transferred from the government, famous arresting officials, and all of them are also masters of innate strength.

Although Suicheng is large, they can still catch the whereabouts of the cultists who are wandering around by following the clues.

"These crazy people! We can't let them do whatever they want!"

Looking at the mess and commotion below, the faces of these government officials were all cold.

Now that the big city has finally regained its vitality, how could something unexpected happen at this juncture and make people panic?In this case, the meaning of holding a lantern festival is gone.

At this moment, they suddenly looked at a deep alley on a street corner, where the fire reappeared.

"Let's go!" The government expert immediately set off, jumped high, flew across the night sky for more than [-] meters, and jumped to another building area.

At the entrance of the alley, a large fire erupted, and many people on the street had no time to react, and were burned by the flames, screaming again and again.

Several graceful women floated out of the flames, each holding a sharp weapon bee stinger and covered with veils.

One of them turned around and shook his sleeve, and a large cloud of pink mist floated out, gathering around the entrance of the alley.

In the flames, those Vulcan believers jumped out.

"Hold your breath, this is a fox fan!"

Several people made many fireballs and smashed them at the women, blocking their way.

"Hand over the man!" Someone among the Vulcan believers shouted.

"Don't think about it!"

The two sides fought fiercely, and the women were not afraid of the Vulcan believers at all, and they fought extremely fiercely.

At the same time, several more burly figures arrived and also participated in the fierce fight.

On the roof of a distant house, Xu Guan looked at the fierce battle circle from a distance.

These waves of people seemed to be fighting for something, and soon his attention fell on those women.

One of the veiled women was holding a plainly dressed child in her hand, who looked eleven or twelve years old.

The child struggled desperately, wanting to escape from the woman's bondage, but with her tiny arms and legs, it was tantamount to wishful thinking to escape from the hands of a congenital master.

The existence of the child is too special in this battle circle, so Xu Gu'an can't help thinking that these waves of forces are probably fighting for this child.

It's just that there is something hidden about this child, and it is worth fighting for these waves of innate-level masters.

Xu Gu'an was very curious, but he didn't dare to get close to the muddy water. He was just watching.

And this is a big city after all, it is impossible for them to destroy it like no one else and make such a big commotion.

Soon, experts from the government arrived from all directions and surrounded the group of people.

"Brave maniac! Capture him without a fight!"

Many government masters joined the battle, and immediately stopped the chaotic wave of people and chose to break through first.

In the blink of an eye, the streets where the battle was still going on were completely dark, and there were no traces of the masters.

Xu Guan touched his chin and gave up continuing to watch.

I thought that the government and the Ye family would be able to handle this matter in the future, and it had little to do with him, so he went directly back home and called Zhang Yang to ask if his real estate had been affected by tonight's incident.

He had just seen many buildings in the city being blown down.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang checked and found that his restaurants and businesses were still in good condition and had not been damaged.

In this way, he was at ease.

Tonight's lantern festival can only end hastily because of this incident.

This episode is also doomed to the effect of this lantern festival, which is bound to be greatly reduced.

Regarding this, the Yefu officials were furious.

The next day, many government police teams were seen on the street, constantly searching for the villains from last night.

Even Xu Guan's place was searched several times.

Apparently, there were quite a few fishes that slipped through the net last night and were scattered away. If not for this, the search would not have been carried out like this.

The festive atmosphere in the entire city was also dissipated by this wave of searches.

It wasn't until a few days later that the negative impact of this incident eased.

The several waves of people who clashed in the city have also disappeared and never appeared again. It is not known whether they were caught by the Ye family and the government or escaped out of the city.

On this day, during Xu Guan's daily practice, he felt a little strange and couldn't help but open his personal interface and take a look.

I found that the qualification column that I haven't touched for a long time has been upgraded from the original C file to C+.

"No wonder if I had divine help in practicing today, I would be more powerful than before without much effort." Xu Guan murmured to himself.

The first thing that the improvement of qualification level brings is the acceleration of daily practice.

As for the reason for the improvement in aptitude, it seems that the Tianji jade that he has been keeping close to him is playing a role.

After a long period of natural energy cultivation, his qualifications finally ushered in a precious sublimation today.

In the future, Xu Gu'an may rely on this piece of secret jade, maybe his aptitude can be comparable to the two geniuses of Shen Xi's Ye family, and become a veritable genius in the world.

All I can say is that this is very possible.

After all, his aptitude is now at the C+ level, and if he improves it further, he will be at the B level.

Thinking of this, Xu Gu'an was in a good mood and continued with today's practice.

The improvement of his qualifications has also further accelerated the progress of his cultivation. He may encounter an opportunity for a breakthrough one day, transforming his external energy into internal energy and completely transforming!
At noon, as soon as Xu Guan finished practicing and finished eating, Zhang Yang led a group of people to the mansion.

This is the talent he picked out from a large number of people who were still living in no fixed place when the war had just subsided.

Compared with the surrounding areas of Donglan Town, the number of people that can be screened in this big city is much larger, and among them there are many high-quality talents that cannot be found in remote towns.

Of course, these people looked satisfied with Zhang Yang, but they still had to go through Xu Guan's test.

According to past experience, among the more than 200 people he selected, it would be good if Xu Guan was finally chosen, leaving only the top 40 and [-] people.

He is well aware of Xu Gu'an's pickiness, and he also believes in Xu Gu'an's vision.

After all, the people selected by Xu Gu'an in the past few times are indeed good in all aspects and quite capable, and they have not been mistaken.

Xu Gu'an came to the compound with his hands behind his back, and glanced over the more than 200 people.

Some of them have passed Xu Guan's qualification test and have C-level qualifications or above, while others have passed Zhang Yang's assessment, have certain talents and are relatively intelligent, and are manageable talents that can be cultivated.

There are also some low-status, good-looking, and good-natured people who can serve as Xu Gu'an's servants and shop assistants for future industrial start-ups.

In short, Zhang Yang has been looking for talents in all aspects during this period, and now he has finally selected them.

Xu Guan's eyes swept over these people one by one, and those people looked at Xu Guan with different expressions.

After all, Xu Gu'an, a self-made man who owns a mansion, seems too young.

But maybe Zhang Yang had already warned him before, so none of them showed contempt for Xu Gu An because of his young age.

These people include men and women, ranging in age from teenagers to elders with gray beards.

Zhang Yang was acting on meritocracy and did not pay too much attention to other standards.
