The puppets' stage play

Bang bang bang.

The fists and palms connected, and the intertwined arms danced in the air, creating afterimages. The two figures refused to give way to each other, trying their best to attack the vital points, with fierce moves, and there was a stern look in their eyes.

("Liu Mei's Du Fist is said to be a protective fist for women only. This old boy has quite some ideas. Compared to that, hey, that boy is too ingenious. He used the Liubo Palm with precision. I don’t think so.”)

A commenting voice sounded nearby. Qi Xiu was startled and looked towards the place where the voice came from. The familiar appearance made him speechless. The person who came was still looking over there with interest, with an extremely happy expression.

Li An's palm technique changed, his eyes brightened slightly, and invisible spiritual power emerged from the air, suppressing it towards the opposite side.

("This is the 'method of building a bridge to the east'. I remember it was a technique of condensing silent wind and thunder, but it was of no great use.")

The visitor shook his head, his words full of disapproval. Qi Xiu suddenly felt enlightened and nodded silently.

Qingye's originally delicate posture paused, and he put his fists together. With the friction of his palms, his five fingers quietly stretched, and then covered his eyes, only seeing people through the gaps.

("Well, confusing one's own 'qi' is really useful. It seems that he is indeed from the plateau.")

The visitor was not surprised, but looked very familiar. At the same time, he glanced here with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Sure enough, just as the other party said, when the spiritual power was about to arrive, he suddenly fell into a daze, and after a while, he automatically disintegrated in the air.

Li An glanced here with a complicated expression, then mustered up his momentum again and attacked the opponent.

"..." Qi Xiu sat quietly, showing no interest in talking.

"You're so cold. It's a shame that I came here specifically to see if you're dead." Leo, who had been locked up for three years and was just released, rolled his eyes at Qi Xiu.

Afterwards, he watched the battle between the two sides with great interest, occasionally cheering loudly, instructing the two on what moves to use, and casually explaining the techniques used by the two.

Zaporta, who had a somewhat ugly expression before, let out a breath and glanced here. In the end, he didn't come over and just stayed where he was with Kilf.

The same goes for Dai Qishi. At this moment, she is not approaching anyone else, but is sitting alone.

After all, the visitor claims to be a visitor from the plateau. Regardless of whether the other party's statement is true or false, or it still makes others feel a little wary, they will not come into contact with the three of them in the short term.

"From my observation, that person is close to adulthood. Both physically and in terms of years, he is far ahead of us. Therefore, even if he is not a talented person, he can still suppress us."

Leo explained in his mouth, his eyes focused, and he quickly came to a conclusion from the artistic conception of the opponent's moves.

"Why, Leo?" Qi Xiu turned his head and asked doubtfully, why he could make such a judgment.

"Huhuhu, my name is not Leo, my name is Leon, and I am Li An's eldest brother." Leo introduced himself with a refreshing look.

The eyes of the bystanders became weird, Li An's body trembled, and there was a bit of gritted teeth on his face.

"Oh, Leon." Qi Xiu said calmly.

Leo's eyes became unhappy for a moment, and then he calmed down his expression and returned to his cheerful face again.

"Forget it, don't mention this anymore, I'll answer you."

"After all, it's common sense, oh, by the way, I forgot, this is five years of knowledge, oh, what a pity." Leo rolled his eyes and looked at Qi Xiu with a malicious smile.

Qi Xiu frowned and said nothing. After all, no matter what the other party did, it was the other party's freedom.

"It's so unintentional. Your personality probably doesn't get along with mine." Instead, Leo looked at this side with pity, his head shook, and his mouth was full of regrets.

"However, I like you, so it's okay to tell you." Leo raised his head with a proud expression.

Qi Xiu responded coldly, and Leo coughed, his expression becoming serious.

"Usually, before we step into the first level, we also have a set of cultivation methods. Although it is at best a practice for the future, the effect is just that, at most it strengthens the body."

"Practice the moves until you are familiar with them, and let the 'true meaning' sink into your bones. This is related to the sea of ​​​​qi. Well, usually when you take a deep breath, it is where you feel the swelling at the end."

"The idea touches the surroundings and condenses one's own 'general trend'. This is about the sea of ​​consciousness. Well, it is the birthplace of your own 'idea'. It is usually carried out at a later stage."

Leo spread his hands with a meaningless smile on his face.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of exercise. Even if you don't do this kind of thing, you can master it naturally after entering the first level. It is even far more trouble-free than laboriously training this kind of thing."

"But, that's usually reserved for geniuses. Ordinary people don't need to think about it. In my opinion, that person's skills have reached perfection and are about to reach the realm of transformation. Well, he has some talent, but not much."

Leo commented in a casual tone, with an expression that did not take the other person to heart. If an outsider looked at it, they would think that this person was arrogant and looked down on the efforts of others.

Qi Xiu was moved in his heart. Although it could be attributed to Leo's own temperament, based on his private understanding of Leo, it might be another possibility.

Leo twitched the corners of his mouth, avoiding Qi Xiu's inquiring eyes, and looked over there again. This time, he no longer explained, but watched with deep eyes.

Bai Ta's shoes stomped on the ground, Qingye turned around and dodged the 'sharp knife' coming from the opponent.

He shouted low, raised his arms, and moved up and down. The originally 'curled' palms shook violently, and invisible ripples followed. His cold eyes were hidden behind him, with an inexplicable meaning flashing in them.

Li An's expression changed slightly, his breath became longer, and his body suddenly became 'soft', like a cunning rabbit.

The fist placed on the side was clenched silently, and it was quickly and slowly raised to the chest, facing forward, the palm and wrist were diagonal, there was only a 'click' sound, and the slightly curved fingertips were interlocked in the palm.

All the pale white ripples hit the palm of my hand, but it seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and there was no more movement.

The two looked at each other.

Qingye had a calm demeanor, while Li An's expression looked a bit stern.

"It's a bit interesting, but it's still close." Qingye commented, unceremoniously placing himself on the superior side in his words.

Li An secretly gritted his teeth, raised both fists for the first time, his eyes became determined, and he killed towards the opponent. At this moment, he did not care about his own responsibilities, just to defeat the enemy.

"Five seconds." Qingye declared coldly. At the same time, those proud eyes looked here, full of murderous intent.

Li An felt angry, but he still suppressed his anxiety and tried to face the enemy calmly.

"Why, you think you can win gracefully?" A voice like a whisper rang in his ears, Li An's pupils trembled, and his cold eyes stared here.

"Since you have chosen to fight, you must fight each other. Even if you are covered with bruises, you must open your teeth and tear the other party to pieces, right?"

Qingye's expression was gloomy, with strange emotions flashing in his eyes. He smiled ferociously, as if he was looking at a naughty child. In those eyes... Li An felt relieved, and there was no trace of himself.

"Experience this despicable power, great genius, hahaha."

Qingye laughed loudly and then rushed over. Li An hurriedly fought. However, in the eyes of everyone, they could see that the two people who could barely maintain their balance were now in an overwhelming situation.

The disadvantage is...Lean.

So, in just 3 seconds, a figure flew out upside down. Aikos frowned and stood up to catch him. The pale-faced Li An gasped for breath. Although he wanted to say something, he could not say it, so he could only anxiously Look at each other.

"I'll leave him to you." Aikus pressed Li An on the table, and then told Yuan Shan beside him.

Then, he stood up and looked at the waiting Qingye with lightning eyes. The latter looked at the interaction here with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"In terms of fists and feet, I'm not as good as Li An, but in terms of thoughts..." A majestic and vast aura filled the air, and Aikos exuded an invisible force in every move he made.

"I can easily defeat him." The majestic voice echoed around, and Ekus approached the opponent step by step, his pace was very slow, but seemed extremely stable.

Faced with Ekus's gradual approach, Qingye laughed instead, and his bold aura immediately burst out, instantly breaking the aura carefully created by Ekus.

"I am a mediocre person, a rare mediocre person in this world. Logically speaking, I will never be a match for geniuses like you. However, I only have one chance to defeat you."

"How could I miss such a good opportunity!" Qingye's expression became distorted, and his hateful eyes stared at the other person, and the coldness in his eyes became more intense.

Aikus's heart sank, but he understood that what the other party said was true.

Although the 'Star School' they were in was not famous on the surface, in fact, it was a place used by the Federation to cultivate the stars of tomorrow, and its status was extremely special.

Different from the training centers across the plateau, this place prefers detailed education rather than allowing students to develop wildly. While cultivating students' sense of autonomy, they will also provide certain support.

Although it stands to reason that only the largest ranch over there has the same status as here, and the small training center attached to it is not considered a separate 'school', as far as federal law is concerned, the status of the two Equivalent.

Similarly, in the schools, after entering the four-year period, the connections between the schools will gradually deepen. In order to complete graduation, at this stage, a special rule was born.

That is, students who have not yet fully graduated can freely challenge others, and the latter cannot refuse.

Even though Qingye has 'graduated', unfortunately, the process on the plateau is slower, and it usually takes fifteen days to process the beginning and end. Therefore, even though Qingye can be called a boy, he still has the right to challenge.

As for the Star Academy, you can actually refuse, but after you refuse, you will lose your original special status. People will not look at the strength of the person who comes to challenge, but will only think that they are afraid of a small training school. That's rubbish.

When that kind of possible doubt spreads, this place will no longer be sacred and will become an existence lower than an ordinary school. By then, even the students will probably run away. After all, what people from various forces value is the title. , but doesn’t care which school it is.

A brief thought flashed through his mind, and Aikos' expression became serious. Therefore, he must use all his strength to achieve complete victory.

Otherwise, if he is really defeated by the opponent, his family's evaluation of him will be greatly reduced. His eyes turned cold, and such a thing must not happen!

"Ekus will be defeated." Leo glanced at it casually, and then said with certainty.

Qi Xiu looked over there. After a few seconds, Aikus's body swayed, and his originally bright eyes became dim. However, Qingye opposite him still looked the same as before, without any change.

"That guy has killed people, and more than one. If he were an ordinary student, Ikus' little tricks would be troublesome, but it's different for him."

Leo smiled and stretched out his arms, and then looked at the new teacher aside. Enod looked at this side with gentle eyes, not seeing anything strange at all.

"Teacher, if I beat this bastard to death, there won't be any punishment, right?" Leo smiled confidently, his tone was extremely calm, and his eyes were not moved at all.

"Well, of course. Since he proposed a decisive battle, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. After all, this is his own choice——"

"That's not what I want to hear, teacher." Leo's eyes were cold, and his voice with strong will suddenly overwhelmed him.

After Enod's words were interrupted, it was not angry. Instead, it glanced at Leo approvingly.

"You're right, but I was too troublesome." Enod admitted his mistake, and then, his eyes moved, looking down at the menacing figure in the distance as if looking down.

"He has neither family background nor background. Even if you kill him, there will be no consequences. How about I say this? Are you satisfied?" Enold looked at the other party with a smile again, but Leo sneered. become sharp.

"That bastard Camus is like this, and so are you. What do you think of others?" Leo snorted coldly, and then walked towards Qingye who was still standing there, as if he was wandering, and his whole body looked particularly relaxed.

"..." Qingye's expression did not change, and he was about to take action again... His eyes couldn't help but flicker, and then, he suddenly woke up and understood the current situation.

His eyes suddenly went dark.

Tick, tick.

Leo looked bored and was walking away with his back turned.

"Every year there are guys like this who overestimate their capabilities. It's really boring." He complained, and behind him was a man stained with blood. The blood pooled under him and fell silently to the ground.

Lean lowered his gaze, while Aikos looked confused. As someone who had fought against that person, he knew deeply how powerful the other person was. Otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat the two of them easily.

However, facing Leo, he couldn't survive even a single move. The gap between the two sides was... obvious.

He gritted his teeth secretly, and finally understood the unwillingness and powerlessness that had been lingering in Li An's heart.

"Hey, let's go. The other guys have finished cleaning up." A voice came from outside the door. Leo scratched his head and made an impatient sound.

"I know, I know, don't rush me!" Leo didn't even look at the others. If the two people in his class hadn't almost died, which aroused his anger, he wouldn't have bothered to wander around.

Because there was anger in his heart, he decided to completely wipe out the bastards who came this time, so that he could calm down.

"Huh?" Leo frowned, suddenly feeling something, but it was too late to turn around, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

A heavy force instantly reached his shoulder, and then, crushing pain spread throughout his body. This is the fate of arrogance, he couldn't help but think.

Snapped!

A tattered figure suddenly hit the wall, and 'Leo' fell softly.

The 'bloody man' wiped his eyelids and showed a pair of determined eyes. Qingye opened his mouth wide and roared like thunder.

"It's not over yet, come again!"

A bloody smile bloomed on his face, and mad laughter echoed around. Seeing Aono's crazy posture made Ekus and Li An feel relieved.

They looked at each other with determination in their eyes, and stood up together to block the crowd.

"How do you feel now?"

Qi Xiu stared at the face of 'Leo' who was close at hand, and then said softly.

"Damn it..." Leo's eyes were full of humiliation, and he was actually humiliated. This was the second time. Although he tried to stand up, shocking pain soon spread throughout his body, and he had to Admit it, you lost.

pat, pat.

"Oh, isn't that who it is? Hey, hey, he's really in a leisurely mood." As footsteps sounded, another person came over.

He looked at Leo with a smile, made sarcastic remarks, and blew wind at Leo with a sly smile on his face.

"..." Leo tried to bite the opponent to death, but failed.

Zhou Tao glanced here and pointed his finger to freeze Leo's vitality, but there was no further cure. Enod smiled, but no one was reflected in his rose-red eyes.

If you stare deeply into those eyes, you can only see nothingness.

"You have today, it's really worth remembering." The boy's handsome face turned around, Qi Xiu recognized him, and the name quietly emerged in his heart.

Ercott.

The other party looked at Enod, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

"The smile is so fake, you can tell he is not a good person at first glance."

Qi Xiu nodded in his mind. In this regard, he had the same opinion as the other party. At the same time, his eyes stayed on the smiling face in front of him for a few seconds, and then he looked at Enode.

Indeed, he does not look like a good person, a faint thought passed through his heart.
