Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 73: Tiger Squad
Lu Qingshan waited in the small courtyard he rented temporarily for two days.
On the third day, the token given by Tan Tai Qing Run vibrated.
finally come.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed, he took out the token, probed his spiritual sense into it, and received the message from Tan Tai Qingrun.
The message was short, just like Tan Tai's clear and gentle personality, simple and clear.
"The matters you entrusted have been arranged. Come to Zhenjiang Tower."
It was just a short sentence, and he didn't even mention the specific location of Zhenjiang Building to Lu Qingshan.
It was as if he was certain that Lu Qingshan himself must know where Zhenjiang Tower was.
However, Tan Tai Qingrun was indeed right in his guess. Lu Qingshan really knew the specific address of Zhenjiang Building.
…
This is a tower that is completely black.
The building is four stories high, and the width becomes narrower as you go up. The roofs of each floor are staggered and overlapped, with upturned corners, as if the wings of a crane are spreading their wings about to take off.
On the top of the tower, there is also something very strange, without any signs hanging.
Lu Qingshan stood outside the Qitong Gate of the tower.
A young male cultivator had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Lu Qingshan, he immediately came forward and asked, "Are you Lu Qingshan?"
"It's me." Lu Qingshan understood that this person should be the guide arranged for him by Tan Tai Qingrun.
"I'm Fei Wa. The deputy owner asked me to wait for you here. I'll take you in when you arrive." Fei Wa introduced himself.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Fei." Lu Qingshan thanked him.
"You're welcome, just follow me." Fei Wa turned and walked into the tower, with Lu Qingshan following closely behind him.
…
So young?
Fei Wa muttered to himself.
According to Tan Tai Qingrun's instructions, he was going to take Lu Qingshan to Zhishouwei and let Lu Qingshan take the assessment to join the Yinhu team.
Zhi Shouwei is different from other positions in Zhi Shoulou. If you want to enter Zhi Shouwei, you can only rely on your own strong combat power.
It’s not that he underestimated Lu Qingshan, but with such a young face, even if he was a genius, how much fighting power could he have at this moment?
However, even though he had many doubts about Lu Qingshan in his heart, Fei Wa was very polite to Lu Qingshan on the surface.
——No matter whether Lu Qingshan has that ability or not, he is a person that the deputy building owner takes special care of. For this reason, Lu Qingshan is someone he cannot afford to offend.
…
Similar to the structure of Yuanshan Tower, the real core part of Zhenjiang Tower is located underground, and the four-story tower is just a cover standing on the surface.
Fei Wa stopped in front of a dark wall inside the tower, took out the Zhenjiang Tower token, and swiped the token across the wall like a door card.
The wall suddenly rippled and a corridor appeared.
Lu Qingshan followed Fei Wa into the corridor.
Soon after, everything in front of me became clear.
What comes into view is a spacious hall where people come and go. It is brightly lit and has none of the gloomy atmosphere that one would expect from an underground location.
The Zhenjiang Building's headquarters, which is suspended upside down underground, has four floors, just like the tower above it.
Zhishouwei, as the ace position among the four departments of Zhishou Tower, has a separate underground floor.
The third underground floor.
Fei Wa brought Lu Qingshan to an extremely spacious underground square.
There had been five monks waiting in the square for a long time.
Four boys and one girl.
"This is Lu Qingshan, the team member recommended to you by Deputy Tower Master Tan Tai." Fei Wa introduced to the five cultivators.
Then he turned around and introduced Lu Qingshan: "This is the Yinhu team you are going to join. The swordsman in their team just died in the last mission, so..."
Lu Qingshan understood. It just so happened that the Yinhu team was short of a swordsman, so he had the opportunity to apply to join the team.
It's sad to say that sword cultivators are the profession with the highest taunt value among the six main professions. In most cases, they will be the first targets that enemies want to eliminate as soon as possible.
Therefore, in this kind of team mission, the death rate of sword cultivators is often the highest.
After Fei Wa finished his introduction, he retreated into the shadows .
What happens next is up to them to decide.
…
The tall female cultivator stood up, walked around Lu Qingshan, and exclaimed in amazement.
"Are you the swordsman that the deputy host recommended to us? You are too young, aren't you? But apart from anything else, you are quite handsome."
"I'm afraid it's just a silver-plated spear head that looks good but is useless." A male cultivator in a Taoist robe whispered to the side.
"Su Shu!" The tallest and most burly male cultivator among the five frowned and shouted softly.
The female cultivator named Su Shu rolled her eyes at the burly male cultivator and said, "I know, business is more important."
Su Shu straightened her face, put away the frivolous expression on her face, and said to Lu Qingshan: "Although you were recommended by Deputy Building Master Tan Tai, everything still has to follow the rules , and you must accept our test. Only if your performance is qualified, you can join our team. Otherwise, we can only say sorry to Building Master Tan Tai."
Lu Qingshan's face was calm: "Of course it is so. How do you want to test me?"
"Fight with me. If I think you're capable of it, then you can." The burly male cultivator stood up and said with clenched fists.
Well, it’s really simple, crude and brainless.
Lu Qingshan complained in his heart, but he agreed: "Come on then."
…
Although this square is very wide, it is underground after all, and its area is extremely limited.
For a sword cultivator like Lu Qingshan who has just entered the foundation-building stage, the range of his flying sword is forty meters.
In addition, he can move back and forth with sword-flying skills at a speed of up to one-fifth the speed of sound. If he really wants to fight in a serious battle, no matter how big the square is, it will not be able to meet his fighting needs.
Therefore, the fight proposed by the burly male cultivator was not very formal.
In this battle, the use of flying spells was restricted, and the entire fight took place on the ground, without being able to fly in the air.
The restrictions on Lu Qingshan are obviously greater than those on the burly male cultivator.
After all, speed is the forte of sword cultivators. Without enough space for sword cultivators to give full play to their speed advantage, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by several points.
On the square, Lu Qingshan and the burly male cultivator distanced themselves from each other and stood diagonally opposite each other.
"My name is Xu Hao, a physical cultivator!" The burly male cultivator greeted Lu Qingshan.
"Lu Qingshan, a swordsman."
Before the fight began, Lu Qingshan used the Sky Eye Technique on Xu Hao.
He is a physical cultivator with a total level of 26, and is also the strongest cultivator among all the cultivators in the Yinhu team.
This is an existence that he absolutely cannot defeat at the moment.
But fortunately, it is not necessary to defeat Xu Hao to meet the requirements of the Yinhu team.
After all, no one in the Yinhu team could defeat Xu Hao in a head-on fight.
Lu Qingshan only needs to perform to their satisfaction.
"Here it comes!" Xu Hao shouted.
Immediately, Xu Hao rushed towards Lu Qingshan with great momentum like a tiger.
Facing the extremely arrogant Xu Hao, Lu Qingshan remained calm and quickly moved to another corner of the square. At the same time, his mind moved and the Soul-Crying Sword shot out.
Physical cultivators, especially low-level ones, have no means of long-range attacks.
It is undoubtedly a wise choice to keep increasing the distance and use the flying sword technique to consume Xu Hao's spiritual power first.
See Lu Qingshan's flying sword shooting out.
"This kid, at least in terms of the speed of his flying sword, is quite capable. But the problem is that for the captain, this small flying sword is not good enough at all." A tall and thin male cultivator who had been watching the show chuckled.
Sure enough, it was just as the tall and thin male cultivator said.
Facing the oncoming flying sword, Xu Hao did not dodge. Instead, he activated his spiritual power and his whole body suddenly began to glow with golden light.
One after another, illusory scales like fish scales attached to Xu Hao's body, as if Xu Hao was wearing a suit of golden armor.
clang!
The flying sword, as fast as lightning, hit Xu Hao's golden armor, causing a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction.
"The captain's [Golden Scale Body] is a perfect defense. How could a sword cultivator in the early stage of foundation building possibly cause any harm to the captain?" The tall and thin male cultivator said with great joy, "If Lu Qingshan wants to become our teammate, his flying sword alone is not enough."
A male cultivator with a chubby face nodded and agreed, "This kid is already a foundation-building cultivator at such a young age, which is amazing. But we know that the guards don't want geniuses, we need comrades who can fight together. If he doesn't show us something hard, it's useless no matter how young he is."
