Chapter 340: The First Genius of Jixia
"Oh my god, who is this? So powerful!" Dongfang Yao's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Mengqi who was crippled in an instant.

Who on earth is this man?

Dongfang Yao couldn't believe it. Even though Mengqi was a shooter and the most fragile and weakest member in the Othello team, it was a bit too exaggerated for him to be killed in just one move.

Of course, except for Dongfang Yao and Xishi on one side, the other members of the Black and White chess team were relatively calm, or it should be said that they were all facing a formidable enemy at this moment!
"He is your senior Zhuge." Yuan Ge, who had been hiding in the shadows, walked out slowly and said with a gloomy face.

Yuan Ge, who arrived at the Three-Point Land earlier, naturally knew that Zhuge Liang himself was living in hiding in Shu, but he could not have imagined that Zhuge Liang, who should have avoided suspicion, would take the initiative to come to the canyon battlefield during this sensitive period.

What does the senior want to do?
Yuan Ge suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After all, when he first joined the Jixia Academy, Zhuge Liang, as his senior, had always taken good care of him in private, so whether out of respect or selfishness, Yuan Ge was very afraid that Zhuge Liang would do something "stupid" like the girl mentioned above.

"You have been in Jixia Academy for a short time, so it's no wonder that you and Meng Qie don't recognize this man." At this time, Master Lu Ban, who had activated all the mechanical prostheses and was on high alert, explained in a deep voice: "Be careful, this man is the greatest genius in the history of Jixia Academy. He graduated from the academy one year earlier than me. It is said that this man only took one year as a student to completely master the three subjects of our Jixia Academy!"

"Is this so exaggerated?!" Xi Shi widened her beautiful eyes in horror, looking in disbelief at the silver-haired man in the distance who was confronting them.

No wonder Xi Shi lost her composure like that.

As a student of the Jixia Academy, Xi Shi knew very well that no one could study the three subjects of Jixia at the same time, let alone master them thoroughly!

As we all know, ordinary people like Xiaobing who have no family background can never become heroes. It is just a lie to say that one can become a hero as long as one works hard.

However, for the descendants of the 22 families, except for some extremely special cases (such as the fourth generation Sima Yi, who was specially allowed to be promoted by Wan Gu Chang Ming because Cao Cao assisted Jixia in killing Su An), it is not easy to become a hero.

There are too many monks and too little porridge. The overall number of heroes is limited after all due to the difficulty of developing fire. In this case, facing the descendants of 100000 families who have reproduced for thousands of years and whose total population has exceeded 22, who should be promoted to heroes has become a very troublesome problem.

Therefore, under this historical background, and in order to make the comprehensive attributes of the hero candidates more suitable for the pairing of the fire, the three sages of Jixia created the three disciplines of "martial arts, magic, and machinery", and stipulated that only students who successfully completed one of the disciplines could be selected as "hero candidates"! For example, a graduate of the magic apprentice is a candidate for a mage hero, and a graduate of the martial arts apprentice is a candidate for a tank hero.
This is also the only legal and official shortcut to becoming a hero in the world today, and it is only open to the descendants of the 22 Alka families.

However, to this day, looking at the entire King's Continent, there are only a hundred or so heroes. This is not because there are not enough sparks, but because the academic difficulty is too great.

In fact, more than 97% of the students will never be able to graduate from the Jixia Academy in their entire lives. Usually, only a very small number of people with outstanding talents can successfully complete their studies and be accepted as hero candidates by the Jixia Academy, and then be successfully promoted to heroes!
Just one subject has stopped countless people from making progress, so Xi Shi was so terrified, because she had never heard of anyone who could complete these three subjects at the same time, and in just one year!
How could such an incredible talent be achieved by a mere human? !

"That's not an exaggeration, Sister Xishi." On the other side, Sun Bin also whispered excitedly, "The reason why the senior left Jixia Academy was because even the three great teachers had nothing to teach him at that time, so he started to travel around the world at the age of 16 and has not returned to Jixia for many years. But all along, he has been recognized as the only successor who can inherit the mantle of Master! If you don't believe me, ask Sister Wuyan."

Xi Shi turned her gaze to Zhong Wuyan, but this unintentional glance made Xi Shi suddenly realize that there seemed to be a subtle burning feeling in the eyes of this old senior sister when she looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Senior Sister Zhong?" Xi Shi, who vaguely sensed something, couldn't help but call Zhong Wuyan again.

Zhong Wuyan, who was staring at Zhuge Liang blankly, seemed to have just come to her senses. When she turned back, she immediately avoided Xi Shi's gaze in a panic: "That's right."

After a pause, Zhong Wuyan quickly regained her composure and said seriously, "In fact, Senior Brother Zhuge and Senior Brother Xiang Yu, who was killed by us in the Wei Highlands, were both students of the same Jixia class. Both of them are much stronger than me, because one of them is the reincarnation of the Great Demon King, and the other was selected by the Master and promoted to a hero at the age of 10. Then, at the age of 12, Senior Brother Zhuge broke through the bottleneck on his own without any guidance and became the youngest magic legend of that era!"

"He became a legend in the magic world at the age of 112?!!" Xishi's legs almost went weak and she fell to the ground.

Depend on! !

At this moment, she could almost conclude that the man in front of her was definitely a real monster!

The strength of a hero is not only reflected in his level, but also in his external support (such as the outer jacket of Black and White, "Guixu Mengyan", and Wang Yao's equipment) and more importantly, in his "proficiency" -

According to the established rules, the more times a hero participates in Canyon Wars, the higher his rank will be. Normally, to be promoted from [Apprentice Stage] to [Senior Stage], one needs to participate in 100 Canyon Wars, while to be promoted from [Senior] to [Elite], one needs 300 games, and from [Elite] to [Grandmaster] 1000 games!
Finally, there is the top-level [Legend]. It is worth noting that the so-called [Legend] represents the highest combat power ceiling of a powerful life form like a hero. Once you reach this level, you can basically dominate the Continent of Kings, but it is also extremely difficult to become a [Legend].

It is impossible to get promoted just by accumulating the number of Canyon Wars you have participated in. The only way to become a [Legend] is to rely on extremely rare and ultimate talent to reach the top!

Let's put it this way, as an [Elite Mage], Xi Shi can conclude that in the world today, there are definitely no more than four mage-type heroes who can become [Legends of the Magic Way], including one of the great sages of the Jixia Academy, the Peace Watcher Mr. Mozi, and the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire, Empress Wu Zetian!

In other words, this man in front of me, at the age of 12, was already a legend of magic who stood at the same peak level as the great sage Mozi? !

"Wow~ That's really scary!" Dongfang Yao whistled heartily, his eyes glowing with fire, and he pointed his sword at the ground, eager to try: "If I defeat him, will I be number one in Jixia Academy? Okay, let me try!"

"Stop it, you idiot." Zhong Wuyan said with disdain: "If you don't want to end up like Meng Qie, I advise you not to act rashly. You don't understand how terrifying Senior Brother is. You can't even beat me, so you can only be a younger brother in front of Senior Brother."

"Is it really as exaggerated as you say?" Dongfang Yao put away his sword in disbelief. Well, even though he said that, at this moment, even the extremely conceited Dongfang Yao had to admit that he was indeed a coward, because he really couldn't beat this weirdo sister in front of him! !

"We don't have to scare you." Master Lu Ban said in a hoarse voice, "The founder of this special team of Othello was this Zhuge Liang who proposed it to Master Zhuang Zhou. At that time, Othello had only three members, including the third-generation Cang Tian Xiang Long and the fourth-generation Guang Ming Zhi Hai. These three people, led by Zhuge Liang, were the ones that scared the heroes in the King's Continent!"

Hearing this, Xishi asked with lingering fear: "What should we do? Should we go together? Or..."

"That's right." Zhong Wuyan's gaze slowly turned to Wan Gu Chang Ming behind him: "Now, I'm afraid that only the Master can suppress Senior Brother Zhuge."

It is true.

But in fact, from the moment Zhuge Liang appeared, he did not take these clowns in front of him seriously.

His pair of cyan eyes, which seemed to be able to see through all the mysteries of the world, looked through the black and white chess players and went straight to the old man who was known as the strongest man in the world.

When two pairs of sharp eyes with different pupil colors but equally terrifying aura met across the air, an incomparably gorgeous aurora slowly appeared horizontally in the night sky, stretching to the end of the sky, as if to split the vast night sky into two!
Boom——

In the flickering blue light, Zhuge Liang appeared out of thin air in front of Wan Gu Chang Ming.

Just a second.

"?!!"

The black and white chess players who reacted didn't even have time to react. When they turned around in surprise, Zhuge Liang was already standing in front of the old man.

If it were under normal circumstances, the black and white chess pieces would probably rush forward. After all, not just anyone can approach Wan Gu Chang Ming. Any rash approach would be an offense!
But at this moment, knowing that Zhuge Liang had come with ill intentions, they did not dare to step forward and could only hold their breath and wait.

This is no longer a battle that heroes of their level can intervene in!

The unexpected result is——

"Teacher, long time no see." The silver-haired man bowed slightly humbly in front of the old man who was a head shorter than him.

The imagined confrontation scene did not occur, and the man was unexpectedly polite. Or it should be said that the heroes of the older generation were often better at respecting teachers.

"Well, it's been a long time since we last met." The old man nodded slightly, but also raised his eyebrows: "But, isn't it not good for you to treat your junior like this?"

The old man was talking about Mengqi who was still unconscious and trapped on the high wall.

Facing the old master's faint accusation, Zhuge Liang just whispered: "What's wrong with that? He said it himself, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, the weak should be trampled underfoot. According to this logic, it is reasonable for me to beat him to death, teacher, don't you agree?"

The old man was speechless.
This student, whom he was proud of, was not only extremely talented, but also eloquent. During his student days, he had repeatedly stumped his teacher.

However, the old man nowadays no longer has the patience he had back then.

He really wanted to know what kind of problem his student was going to give him this time.

Therefore, the old master narrowed his eyes slightly and asked directly in a gentle voice: "So, my most proud student, can you tell me what you want to do here now?"

The harmonious teacher-student meeting ceremony ended here.

Both parties are masters who are above the mundane world, so matters such as etiquette can be simply gone through the motions without wasting too much effort on them.

The most important thing is to determine the other party's intentions, although in fact, there is no need to ask, each party knows what is in each other's mind.

Under the endless starry sky, Zhuge Liang just looked up at the night sky. The night wind blew past, ruffling his hair.

"I'm here to ask you to spare that soldier over there."

[? ?, I feel like you guys are being cute on purpose. All the Shu Kingdom heroes who should have appeared have appeared, except for the super genius Zhuge Liang. Why can't so many friends see that it's Zhuge Liang who came to save the day? ]
