Bulwark of Light

Chapter 360 Opponents?friend?
For white sleeves.

The word "opponent" was something he had hardly considered.

At least... not before.

After the awakening of his talent, he pulled away all his peers in a single ride, and became the true "invincible at the same level" in Nagano.

True genius is not about surpassing others.

Instead, go beyond yourself.

He had no opponent for a long time... If he had to say one, then it could only be himself.

Rain and snow fell on the umbrella.

Bai Lu looked at the calm face of Little Sleeves.

"His name is Gu Shen, and he was rated 'S-rank' by the three institutes. No one knows what his real ability is... After only half a year of cultivation, he defeated Shen Li, the disciple of the fourth judge..."

Out of respect.

Bai Xiu has been listening quietly.

"If you give him another year, he will grow very strong." Bai Lu said seriously: "By that time, you will have more trouble than this year."

"There's a lot of trouble every year."

Bai Xiu finally finished listening, and he said softly: "The Gu Shen you mentioned is indeed a genius, but... what does this have to do with me?"

"The Patriarch, the Great Elder, and my brother... all think that this year is the best year."

Bai Lu sighed softly, "The entire Snow Forbidden City wants you to fight. If you join the battle this year... under the influence of public opinion, it will be very difficult for him not to join the battle."

Even in Chunyuguan, a clear answer has been obtained.

But the Bai family still thinks... Gu Shen's attitude does not represent his true thoughts.

"So?" Bai Xiu silently looked at the witch.

and so……

As soon as these two words came out.

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, she suddenly didn't know how to express herself.

Some words cannot be put on the table... Because of the relationship between Gu Shen and the Li family, the Bai family has already identified Gu Shen as a future "enemy", and the Bai family has never been soft on enemies.

The battle of geniuses, winning or losing, will affect the state of mind of practice.

If the monstrous characters who really go for the "dream of fire" are defeated in a face-to-face confrontation...the road to practice in the future will also become bumpy.

In fact, how could Bai Xiu not know what she wanted to say?
"In this era, no genius will be prevented from shining."

Bai Xiu said calmly: "If you want to become the real 'Nagano Invincible', it won't last long with this method."

"If he is really a very strong genius, then I look forward to a battle with him... For me, meeting an evenly matched opponent is even more rare than getting the 'dream of fire'."

Bai Xiu said slowly: "It's just... I really don't see him as an opponent."

This sentence sounds very proud.

But in fact... Bai Xiu was telling the truth.

A person who only wants to run first will not care how many chasers are behind him.

He showed no sign of contempt.

This time, not participating in the rookie battle... is simply not wanting to participate.

"alright, I got it."

In fact, Bai Lu just came to persuade Bai Xiu by the order of the head of the family. If Xiao Xiu insisted on keeping it until next year, they would not say anything, because the entire Bai family... had full confidence in him.

Give Gu Shen another year?
Even if you give him another three years, so what?

He is an S-level genius, and Bai Xiu is also an S-level genius!
"You seem to have changed when you come back this time." Bai Xiu looked at Bai Lu and said softly, "You are more... restrained than before. This is a good thing."

To put it mildly.

Do you want to say that you have become quieter?

She shook her head and smiled, and said: "Is it because I stayed in the Zongtang these days? Don't get me wrong, I have never changed, but a few days ago, that Gu had a fortune, he said that I was in Yintang. It is dark, with ominous entanglement, it is best not to go out, so as not to cause trouble."

Bai Xiu was slightly taken aback.

"Gu Shen is still the successor of divination, he was just accepted as a disciple by the mausoleum guard..."

Seeing Xiao Xiuzi's expression, Bai Lu quickly explained, then frowned and muttered: "I don't know what Master Qianye has taken a fancy to him, so he is willing to teach him all kinds of techniques such as divination."

Divination...

Kiyotsuka...

Fog on the mountain...

Bai Xiu lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"I'll go out for a while." He said softly, looking up at the distant sky.

"Eh……"

Bai Lu only had time to say a word.

Heavy rain.

A thunderbolt fell, and the entire Snow Forbidden City was dyed silvery white.

The white clothes and white sleeves swept out the umbrella, his figure seemed to blend with the thunder, and disappeared into the long city alley with just one step.

……

……

"Master Qianye... the person who asked to meet at the foot of the mountain just now is really strange..."

Gu Shen returns to the Wilderness of Four Seasons.

As he spoke, he vaguely felt the smile under that flowery cat mask.

Is this something funny?

Or, what I just said is very funny?
"What did you see?" Master Qianye said with a smile.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He recalled the scene he saw after looking hard, the fog was too thick and the lines were complicated, and he exhausted his eyes, but what he saw was nothing but gray fog that obscured his eyes.

Even the blazing fire cannot penetrate this thick fog.

Because this is the wonderland where the "fire" condenses!If you want to clear your eyes, you have to comprehend all the "ancient texts" in the inner mausoleum!
"I... didn't see anything."

Gu Shen shook his head, and replied, "Except for fog, it's just fog."

"It's the same with him." Master Qianye said: "He also tried his best to look at you, but... what he saw was also fog."

"Is this... funny?" Gu Shen scratched his head.

"From my point of view, this is actually quite funny." The tomb guard replied seriously.

"What kind of person would come to Qingzuo to ask for a stele and the name on the stele..."

Gu Shen had no choice but to speak, and said to himself: "I want to bury a person, but I don't even know the name of the other person... From his appearance, he should be from one of the five great families..."

Speaking of which.

He seemed to realize something.

Born into five families.

"That one named 'Yu Shu'... is the dead man of the Five Families?" Gu Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at Master Qianye, who was hanging upside down.
Under the flower cat mask is still a crescent-like smiling face, as if beckoning him to continue talking.

The surname is Yu.

This is not the surname of the five families... just like Uncle Gao, a person with a foreign surname, guarding the authenticity.

"I've met all the young people from the five families..."

One name after another flashed through Gu Shen's mind.

In the end, all possibilities were ruled out.

There is only...the only answer left.

"That person at the bottom of the mountain... is Baixiu?"

Gu Shen looked stunned. He finally understood why the mausoleum guards were smiling. If it were him, he might not be able to help but smile knowingly when he saw the scene of the harmonious conversation going up and down the mountain just now.

The whole of Nagano is committed to creating a tense atmosphere between the two "at the sword point".

Gu Shen even went to the old man and asked for a copy of Baixiu's information... He was already prepared in his heart, if the "White Invincible" who went to the north to practice returned to Nagano one day, he would forcefully overwhelm him.

He also had to make a countermeasure.

But never imagined.

The development of things is so... unreasonable.

"You are smarter than I imagined, but you are also a bit dull." Master Qianye said lightly: "Actually, the identity of that 'man from the mountain' is not that hard to guess."

indeed.

The whole of Nagano knows his identity as a "divination disciple".

If you come to Qingzuka for an interview and see a man standing on the top of the foggy mountain...then the only possibility is yourself.

It can be seen from the saluting posture that the other party is a child of the five families.

But he doesn't know his identity.

There is only one possibility... He has just returned to Nagano, and he doesn't pay any attention to the news of Snow Forbidden City.

"I thought I was famous." Gu Shen smiled helplessly and teased, "It seems that he doesn't care at all."

"You are indeed very famous, he will know sooner or later." Master Qianye wrote lightly, "It's just that he came in a hurry... He didn't have time to understand what happened in Nagano, so he came to Kiyotsuka and wanted to see me. "

It reminds me of asking for the stele and the reminder given by the tomb guards.

Gu Shen's eyes lit up: "Because...he was assassinated?"

"That's right." Master Qianye said with a smile, "Someone in the Bai family wanted to kill him, but Yu Shu sacrificed himself to save his life."

No wonder... asking for a monument.

The dead are anonymous.

Until his death, Bai Xiu didn't know the man's name.

"It seems that public opinion is the most untrustworthy thing in the world." Gu Shen rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a complicated expression: "Before we met, I thought of him very badly... and I regarded him as my biggest enemy."

But we really met each other.

Even though there were only a few short sentences, the two of them bowed to each other and became anonymous "friends".

"People's words are terrifying, and three people become tigers." Master Qianye said: "For people and things we have never met before, we will inevitably be influenced by the outside world... If Baixiu hears about you first, and then meets you, I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful."

"So... you made him owe me a favor?"

Gu Shen smiled wryly.

On the top of the mountain, speaking out to remind... also confirmed his identity as a "divination" disciple.

"Some favors look big, but are actually small."

"Some favors may seem small, but they can be very big."

The mausoleum keeper stretched out her withered palm, and layers of golden threads were suddenly spread on her palm, like sky clouds pulled from the wilderness, coated with a layer of gilded light, and each long thread seemed to be connected to the End of the wilderness, extremities of the world.

She performed divination in front of Gu Shen.

It's just... Gu Shen couldn't understand it at all.

The wisps of gold thread shook and trembled.

"Bai Xiu will become a very great person... His favor will become very big in the future." Master Qianye twisted a long thread and said seriously: "You can actually earn a lot of money by taking this favor with just a few words."

It is indeed very profitable.

Gu Shen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Destiny is indeed a wonderful thing. Putting two people in two different places to arrange a meeting will produce a different ending...

From rivals to friends?
Gu Shen thought silently in his heart: Without this favor, without this meeting... Maybe Bai Xiu and I would fight.

No.

To be honest, he should be beaten by the white sleeves.

After reading the file of [Thunder World Walker], Gu Shen doesn't think he has the strength to fight against this guy now... He is indeed still far behind, but these should be regarded as the disadvantages of his years of practice.

Recognizing the gap is nothing to be ashamed of!

The golden thread in the tomb guard's hand suddenly trembled again. She smiled and twirled the thread, pressing down with two slender fingers to hold down the tremor of the long thread of fate.

"I suggest you go to the old place again."

……

……

"Big news!"

"Big news!"

"Bai Xiu finally showed up! [Feng Tong] caught his trace!"

The update of the post on the deep water area forum attracted a lot of clicks in an instant. This time [Wind Pupil] captured specific images, and the Bai family did not use their authority to block these images.

Before Bai Xiu returned to Nagano, many people waited for nothing.

And they waited for a long time, but they didn't get a reply... The much-anticipated protagonist, Bai Xiu, disappeared out of thin air.

This disappearance lasted for a whole day and night.

At that time, some people wondered what this "Bai Wudi" was going to do?

Soon the Bai family released the news of Bai Xiu's perfect breakthrough, claiming that the tundra trial was extremely successful, and that Bai Xiu's extraordinary ability has reached the "ninth level of perfection", and he is only one step away from entering the tenth level.

The reason why there is no news all day and night is because Baixiu is too tired and needs to meditate.

This news is not shocking, it can only be regarded as expected.

Over the years, everyone in Nagano has become accustomed to the white sleeves breaking through smoothly... No one would be surprised if this monstrous genius made a breakthrough.

What everyone is focusing on is... the rookie battle!

Registration for the Rookie Tournament is about to close. Bai Xiu returned to Nagano at this juncture, is he finally ready to come and take away his own "Tinder Dream"?

Yes.

The entire Snow Forbidden City thinks so.

His non-participation every year is actually a kind of "psychological pressure" on the participants.

For the previous leaders, there was already a big mountain above their heads. If they did not overcome that mountain, even if they could win the championship, it would be just a fluke... Maybe it was because of the influence of this layer of psychology, or maybe it was because of the trial of the dream of fire. It is too difficult. So far, no rookie and leader has been able to successfully complete the spiritual test left by the throne.

The coordinates of Baixiu are constantly updated.

And in the end, it stopped at a place that no one could have imagined.

"Bai Xiu... stopped in front of the Qingzuka Cemetery!"

"Wait...he's entered Kiyotsuka!"

The coordinates that disappeared at the end ignited the forums in the deep water area of ​​Nagano... because Kiyotsuka is so special.

Here... there is a "genius" who is not inferior to Bai Xiu in the limelight recently, and is also considered to be a "genius" who is a popular practitioner of Tinder Dream——

Gu Shen!

No one expected that after Bai Xiu lifted the protection of his information from the Bai family...the first place he set off for was Qingzuka.

This information, in the eyes of outsiders, is really full of gunpowder.

Bai Xiu went to Qingzuka, what else could he do?
Is this a direct challenge to Gu Shen? !
