Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Dozens of thick arms either clenched fists or pushed palms against the wind barrier. Seeing that they were about to be unable to withstand the wooden man's attack, Fang Jieren formed a seal with his hands and shouted loudly: "The strong wind will stop."

Countless wind blades condensed in the surrounding air in an instant. Each wind blade was ten feet long and struck the wooden man continuously.

Several feet-thick giant trees extended from the wooden man's shoulders and arms, wrapping Tang Ning around in circles. There were more than ten thick arms, protecting the wooden shield, making fists or palms to strike at the incoming slasher. The wind blades, without dodging or dodging, let those wind blades slash on the "body".

Fang Jie retreated violently, and countless wind blades struck the wooden figure.

Its "body" has been "scarred" by the wind blade. Sometimes one arm is cut off and another one immediately grows out. Sometimes one leg is cut off and another leg immediately grows out.

The three-foot-tall wooden figure could reach one or two feet away with one leg. It ran so fast. With more than a hundred palms facing the wind blades from all directions, how could Fang Jieren escape its pursuit.

Every time he caught up, Fang Jieren would use the wind barrier to delay him.

Breathless Wind, as the name suggests, unless the caster stops breathing, endless wind blades will condense between heaven and earth, and they can break through the opponent no matter how defensive they are.

But the wooden man was not afraid of the blows of these wind blades. Fang Jieren also wanted to capture the thief first. He expected that the reason why the wooden man's body could infinitely regenerate must be because of Tang Ning, but the wooden man had more than ten thick ones. His arms protected him, and every time one or two were cut off, they would grow back immediately.

Although his wind blades were endless, the wooden man continued to regenerate. He persisted like this for a stick of incense. His breathing gradually became gasping and sweat dripped down his forehead. After a quarter of an hour, his face became extremely pale. Half an hour later, he His spiritual power was exhausted and he collapsed to the ground.

Although the power of the violent wind is strong, it continuously consumes the spiritual power in his body. Once the spiritual power is exhausted, the wind blade in the air will dissipate.

Tang Ning just wanted to see what other tricks he had, so she didn't do anything. Seeing him collapse to the ground, he jumped off the wooden figure, and the referee flashed between the two to announce the winner of the match.

The sea of ​​consciousness in Tangning Niwan Palace swayed, and the divided spiritual thoughts returned to the sea of ​​consciousness. The wooden man lost the support of his spiritual thoughts and became motionless. He made a seal, and the wooden man turned into giant trees and fell apart.

At the loft, everyone's eyes suddenly gathered. Tangning looked calm and came to Chang Jian's side. The remaining three groups in the competition venue had already decided the winner. Ouyang Qian's voice sounded again, announcing the next round of disciples. Enter.

Chang Jian looked at him with a face full of surprise: "Junior brother Tang, your wooden man technique is really mysterious. It has infinite power and can be regenerated infinitely. It is really brave and invincible. There is one thing that I really don't understand. You are obviously seriously injured. Why? Is there any mystery behind the instant recovery?"

When everyone heard his question, they all listened attentively.

Tang Ning didn't hide it and said with a smile, "This is because of the unique technique I practice."

"Oh." Chang Jian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

As time went by, the on-field competitions ended one after another.

Not long after, it was Chang Jian's turn to play, and his opponent was Zhang Mian from the intelligence department.

The two fought for a while, and finally ended with Chang Jian voluntarily admitting defeat. The opponent's skills were far more sophisticated than his. He suffered the loss from the first move, and he has been dodging and defending since then.

It didn't take long for the opponent to catch the flaw and hit him with a glacier blade, which almost killed him. The opponent also spared his hand and didn't hit the fatal position. He knew the current situation and took the initiative to admit defeat.

Tang Ning comforted him a few words, and Chang Jian remained silent and left Diocesan Peak before the competition was over.

The next day, everyone gathered in the attic. After two rounds of eliminations, there were only forty-six participating disciples left.

Not long after, Ouyang Gan and others arrived. Just like the day before, they came here today to draw lots to decide against their opponents.

Ouyang Qian called out everyone's names, and the first one was Jiang Yuhuan. He was the winner of venue No. 1 yesterday, so he was the first to draw lots.

After he finished drawing, it was Chen Da, and Tang Ning was the ninth one to go up to draw. He fumbled around in the wooden box for a while, took out a folded piece of paper, opened it, and by chance, it was none other than Zhao Yu, the student from the security department whom he had yelled at in the attic a few days ago.

Ouyang Qian took the note and read it aloud. Zhao Yu's face changed slightly when he heard his name. Tang Ning looked at him. The two looked at each other. Zhao Yu's expression was still vicious, but his eyes were flickering. He was obviously a strong man but a strong man. , feeling guilty.

Tang Ning smiled slightly, and Zhao Yu actually turned his head to avoid his gaze.

At this moment, Zhao Yu was filled with shock and fear. What was shocking was that he did not expect that it was such a coincidence that the two of them actually faced each other in the competition. His harsh words in the attic that day turned out to be a prophecy. The fear is that he is afraid that he will take advantage of the competition to do something secretly.

He had watched all the competition between Tang Ning and Fang Jieren yesterday. He asked himself that his magical skills were not as good as Fang Jieren's. That wind-stopping technique was no small feat. It was really powerful. Countless huge wind blades were condensed between the sky and the earth, and they continued to flow. He slashed at the opponent endlessly, but he could not resist such a fierce attack.

But such a powerful spell was powerless against the wooden man. He was able to win two rounds in a row and get here, so the spell was naturally not weak. It could be seen that after the competition between the two, he would never dare to say that he was better than Fang Jieren.

In addition to magic, his other reliance is the poisonous thorn whip. This thing has a miraculous effect on monks, but what use can it have on a wooden man who has no sense? After much thought, he realized that he had no chance of winning and had no way to deal with the wooden man. He was also afraid of Tangning's secret revenge, so he immediately became timid.

Seeing that Tang Ning looked at him, he was a well-known person in the security department and could not lose the battle, so he glared back with a ferocious expression. The more he looked at him, the more he felt guilty, so he simply avoided his gaze.

After everyone drew lots to choose the disciples to face, they all left Diocesan Peak.

Tang Ning was practicing self-cultivation with her eyes closed in the room. The little white snake swam its head and tail and swam around the stone bed.

"Junior Brother Tang, Junior Brother Tang." Chang Jian's shout came from outside the door.

Tang Ning opened her eyes from her trance and waved to the little white snake. The little white snake quickly jumped into his palm and got into the spirit beast bag.

He stood up and opened the door, and saw five people standing outside. In addition to Chang Jian, there were also Fang Jieren, Wei Yaqin, and another man and woman.

"Senior Brother Chang? What is this?"

Chang Jian hurriedly said: "Junior Brother Tang, it's like this. These senior brothers from Xuande Hall came to our Herbal Medicine Department to look for you. When you weren't here, they found me."

"What's wrong with you guys?" Tang Ning was surprised. Didn't these people come to take revenge on her because they were unconvinced after losing the competition?

"Junior Brother Tang, I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to ask you to return the magic weapon to Junior Brother Fang." Wei Yaqin said.

Tangning was stunned for a moment: "What magical weapon?"

Fang Jieren stood behind Wei Yaqin, his head lowered and hunched, feeling extremely aggrieved. After losing the competition yesterday, he collapsed to the ground exhausted, his mind completely blank.

He actually lost, to an inconspicuous herbal medicine disciple. He couldn't accept this result, and he was completely confused.

It wasn't until I returned to Xuande Hall's residence that I was stunned until midnight, and then I remembered that my magical weapon, the Xuanguang Needle, was missing.

At that time, the Xuanguang Needle was trapped in the mire. He thought it was still underground, so he hurried back to the Old Gufeng No. 1 site. The mire had long since disappeared. He searched back and forth several times in the place where the Golden Needle was bound, but could not find it. Unexpectedly, It must have been picked up by Tang Ning when she escaped underground.

This shameless person even wanted to dirty his magic weapon after winning the competition.

He returned to his room and stayed up all night, hoping to find Tangning and ask for it! One was ashamed to meet him, after all, he had humiliated him many times in the competition arena, and now Peipianpidian went to him to ask for the magic weapon, which was a bit embarrassing.

Secondly, he was afraid that he would default on his debt and insist that he didn't take it, so he had no choice.

Thirdly, he didn't know where Tangning's residence was.

So I endured it all night.

This morning, Junior Sister Fan Yao came to him, originally to comfort him. She saw that he was deep in thought and had a troubled expression on his face. Knowing that there was something wrong, she asked him the reason.

He was in trouble, so he told her.

Unexpectedly, when she heard this, she cursed Tangning and left angrily.

What made him even more unexpected was that Fan Yao turned around and told Wei Yaqin about the incident, asking Wei Yaqin to come forward and seek justice for them.

Not only did he lose the competition and the magic weapon was taken away, but he also asked the woman he admired to stand up for him and get the magic weapon back...

Wei Yaqin found him to verify the authenticity of the situation. After some discussion, several fellow apprentices came to the Herbal Medicine Department to confront Tang Ning.

At this moment, Fang Jieren saw that he was still arguing and pretending to be stupid. He could not bear it anymore and said loudly: "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Didn't you take away all my magic weapons, Xuanguang Needles? Don't be too greedy, you have already won." He bought more than a thousand spiritual stones and even wanted to dirty my Xuanguang needle."

Tang Ning only remembered this after he said this, smiled and said, "I really forgot about this."

After saying that, he took out the golden needle from the storage bag and handed it back to him.

Fang Jieren didn't say anything after taking back the Xuanguang Needle, but Wei Yaqin said on his behalf: "Thank you very much."

After everyone in Xuande Palace left with their magic weapons, Chang Jian also left. Tang Ning only remembered that he had pressed a thousand spirit stones in the old Gufeng Gambling House after he reminded her. I had almost forgotten about it, but then I remembered it and came to Laogufeng Gambling House with my flying sword.

There was still a steady stream of people coming in and out of the attic door. Tangning walked in and went straight to the settlement office of the gambling house to hand over the sect token to the Yuan Yidian disciple. After checking his identity, the man handed over a storage bag worth two thousand yuan. Give him the remaining spiritual stones.

It was originally worth 2,200 spirit stones, but the gambling house had to take 10% of the profit, which was 120 spirit stones, so there were only 2,080 spirit stones in the storage bag.

Tangning took the spirit stone and went to a gambling table to look at the odds. In the new round of odds, she versus Zhao Yu, the odds were 5 to 15. She was 5 to 15, and Zhao Yu was 15.

Tangning smiled and placed another thousand spirit stones on herself.
