Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the Old Master's words.
He had fought with the Ghost King before, so he knew him well.
At that time, the Ghost King's strength was indeed equivalent to a Primordial Elixir Realm. Now the Old Master said that the Ghost King's strength in the Ghost Realm was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm. Now that he thought about it, it was fortunate that he didn't go to the Ghost Realm at that time. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.
Now, his comprehensive strength could fight against the strong of the Primordial Elixir Realm. However, his "Path of Bravery" had just been baptized by the Old Master's Power of the Holy Way, and its power had doubled. He could even fight against the practitioners of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Moreover, there were nine other masters going with him. After entering the Ghost Realm, he wouldn't be in too much danger.
At this time, the Old Master's voice continued, "So, I hope that you ten students will be more careful after entering the Ghost Realm. You should work together to kill the ghost cultivators. It's best if you act together and advance and retreat together. Tomorrow is the day of departure. At that time, I will also celebrate with wine in the square for everyone …"
After the Old Master finished speaking, he ordered the meeting to be adjourned.
Lin Fan glanced at the other nine people standing beside him and found that they were all looking at him. Their eyes were a little strange, as if they wanted to see through him. Being stared at like this, Lin Fan felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply turned and left the square.
After returning to the courtyard, Lin Fan released the Path of Bravery. After the word "bravery" floated out of his body, after being baptized by the Old Master's Power of the Holy Way, it didn't become bigger, but it shone with golden light.
Its aura was strong, and its strength had more than tripled. It was very powerful.
Staring at the word "bravery", Lin Fan was secretly pleasantly surprised.
He thought that he had gained something from coming to the Teacher's Academy. At least he had comprehended his own Tao.
Moreover, his Path of Bravery had gradually become a life-saving trump card.
Just as Lin Fan was full of confidence, he didn't know that An Miaoyi had already told her father, An Guochu, about him going to the Ghost Realm tomorrow.
After receiving the news, An Guochu immediately began to secretly deploy people to plan an assassination.
An Guochu wanted to kill Lin Fan because Lin Fan was too strong.
An Guochu had the intention of rebelling, but he was extremely shrewd; he was the kind of person who planned before acting.
He wasn't as careless as the Shangguan brothers and Kang Yue. Before he started the rebellion, he had to get rid of the stumbling blocks.
The rebellion of the Shangguan clan and Kang Yue had failed because of Lin Fan's interference. Therefore, if they wanted to succeed in their rebellion, they had to get rid of Lin Fan first.
The Crown Prince of the An Kingdom was an extremely high official. He held the military power of the Empire and had many Guest Officials and Death Warriors. He sent out ten Guest Officials and forty Death Warriors.
The overall strength of these fifty people was at Primal Core Level Nine, half a step into the Nascent Soul stage. The weakest was at Primal Core Level Two. With such great fanfare, they were determined to take Lin Fan's life.
This team of fifty assassins set off early that night and rushed to the Ghost Realm. According to the deployment, they ambushed at the edge of the Ghost Realm and prepared to rob and kill Lin Fan.
…
That night, Lin Fan went home and told his parents and Xia Qiusheng about going to the Ghost Realm. They expressed their support for Lin Fan, because Lin Fan was going to kill ghosts. This was a righteous act for the country and the people.
Although they were of low birth and didn't know much, they were all people who understood the big picture.
Then.
Lin Fan entered the palace to meet the Emperor.
He was different from the other students. He was not only a student, but also the director of the Jingye Bureau. He had a job and had to get the Emperor's permission before he went out.
It was not the first time that Lin Fan had suggested going to the Ghost Realm to kill ghosts. Huang Ce had not agreed before because he was concerned about the overall situation and was also afraid that Lin Fan, a genius, would fall.
Now that he heard that Lin Fan was going with the elite students of the Teacher's Academy, he no longer objected.
He agreed.
However, he decided to let Princess Hua Shao go with him. Lin Fan was very surprised and firmly opposed it, saying that the operation was dangerous. However, Huang Ce ignored him and insisted on it. He also told Lin Fan to take care of her.
Lin Fan had no choice but to agree.
"Here, the Ghost Realm is dangerous. I'll give you another Dharma treasure."
As Huang Ce spoke, he took out a whip and handed it to Lin Fan. When Lin Fan looked at it, he saw that the whip was ordinary. His expression was indifferent.
"This is the Heaven and Earth Whip, a middle-grade Dharma treasure. It's very powerful. You'll know when you use it," Huang Ce said.
"Thank you." Lin Fan cupped his fists and left.
The next day. Early in the morning, Lin Fan went to the square.
In the square, all the students had gathered. The higher-ups of the Teacher's Academy, including the Old Master, had also rushed over in splendid attire. There was a row of tables in the square with wine jars and wine bowls on them.
It could be seen that they valued this experience more than the competition that had just ended.
In addition to Lin Fan, the other nine people were all present.
Including Princess Hua Shao.
The 11 people stood in a row.
The Old Master spoke for a while and explained some things. He put the leader of this experience on Fang Qiu.
As the Eldest Senior Brother, Fang Qiu's cultivation was the highest and he had won the competition. He was qualified to be the leader. Therefore, no one objected to this arrangement.
After that, the Old Master shouted to a deacon, "Distribute the swords!"
The deacon distributed the swords to the 11 students who were about to go out one by one.
The swords were long and bright white. They were ordinary.
The Javelin Sword was not used to kill ghosts, but to mark them.
After killing a ghost, they only needed to insert the swords into the pus that the ghost had turned into to mark the ghost. The ghost's cultivation and strength would also be marked on the swords.
When the deacon distributed the swords, the Old Master told everyone about the purpose and meaning of the swords.
Lin Fan was not surprised. He had used this method when he was in the Haitian Gang. He had used the same method to mark demons with his broadsword.
Now, he had changed his weapon. He thought that the swords were more suitable for marking ghosts than the broadsword.
When it was Lin Fan's turn, Lin Fan whispered, "Can you give me one more?"
A strange smile appeared on the deacon's face, but he did not say anything. He directly gave Lin Fan two swords.
After distributing the swords, the Old Master said, "The swords will record the number of ghosts you kill and the level of the ghosts you kill. When the time comes, I will give you a corresponding reward according to the number and level of the ghosts you kill."
Then, the deacon began to pour wine under the Old Master's instructions. 20 wine bowls were neatly arranged in two rows on the table. Each bowl was filled with wine.
Then, the Old Headmaster and the nine higher-ups of the Headmaster Academy took a row of wine bowls from the table. The top ten students took another row of wine bowls. The Old Headmaster raised his wine bowl and said, "Come on, strong wine to make you feel better!"
Everyone clinked their bowls and downed the wine in one gulp.
Then, under the watchful and expectant gazes of hundreds of people, Lin Fan and the other top 10 students set off. Fang Qiu waved his sleeve. Suddenly, a page flew out from his sleeve.
This page looked as if it had just been torn out of a book. There was nothing special about it. The only difference was that after it flew out, it expanded in the wind and instantly became the size of a mat. It floated at a waist-high position and quietly floated there.
Fang Qiu saluted the Old Master, the higher-ups of the Teacher Academy, and the hundreds of students. Then, he said to Lin Fan and the other top 10 students, "Let's go!"
As he said that, he jumped onto the page first.
Lin Fan and the other top 10 students also jumped onto the page one after another. Lin Fan stood in front of Fang Qiu, and Princess Hua Shao happened to stand in front of Lin Fan.
The two of them were facing each other. This might be a coincidence.
Princess Hua Shao was a little shy. Just as she was about to turn around, the page emitted a golden light.
Fang Qiu waved his hand. Suddenly, the page rolled up by itself and folded into a paper boat. This paper boat was the same as the paper boats that students usually folded in class. The difference was that this paper boat was very large and glittered with golden light. It was very strange.
At this time, all the students who came to see them off stared at the paper boat. There was a look of amazement in their eyes, and they all said, "Golden-page Flying Boat!
That's the Old Master's ride! "
The people on the Golden-page Flying Boat were not in the mood to appreciate it. Originally, the golden page was not big, just enough to carry ten people, but there was one more person in the team. Now, as it rolled up, folded into a paper boat, and turned into a flying boat, the internal space suddenly shrank.
The eleven people, who were originally not close to each other, were suddenly pressed together, like squeezing into a bus.
Their bodies were squeezed together.
Princess Hua Shao was standing in front of Lin Fan.
At this time, her body was involuntarily close to Lin Fan's face, and the tip of her nose touched …
Princess Hua Shao's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, full of shame and anger. Her noble and pretty cheeks suddenly turned red. She stared at Lin Fan and shouted, "You.
You … "
"Please, you squeezed me first." Lin Fan looked like he had been wronged and defended himself.
Princess Hua Shao was depressed when she heard this. This was a typical case of taking advantage of others and pretending to be innocent. What was hateful was that.
At this time, she was also suffering in silence, unable to speak.
Indeed.
Just now, when the page was rolled up, she staggered.
Then she fell forward and bumped into Lin Fan.
"Senior Brother Fang.
This Golden-page Flying Boat is too small. I don't want to sit on it. I want to go out! "
Princess Hua Shao glared at Lin Fan fiercely, then turned her face away and stared at Fang Qiu in front of her, protesting.
"If others can sit on it, why can't you!?" Fang Qiu didn't give her face at all and directly scolded her.
In fact, at this time, the other people's bodies were also tightly squeezed together. The male students were better, but the two girls, Luo Youshan and Su Li, were also very uncomfortable.
But fortunately, these two girls happened to be standing face to face. Now they were squeezed together. Although they were also a little uncomfortable, fortunately, they were not touched by the opposite sex.
The situation of the two was not as bad as Princess Hua Shao.
After Fang Qiu said this, Princess Hua Shao was embarrassed to say more. If she did, it would seem that she relied on her identity as a princess to be special.
However, it was very uncomfortable to be squeezed like this. She pushed Lin Fan with her hand.
It would have been better if she didn't push him. Under the push, Lin Fan's body was squeezed behind Fang Qiu, and Fang Qiu's body bumped into Su Li.
Although it was only Su Li's back, it was still uncomfortable. Su Li, who was straightforward, protested loudly, "Senior Brother Fang, why, why did you bump into me?"
It was originally an unintentional sentence, but in the ears of others, it changed the meaning, as if Fang Qiu had taken advantage of her.
The students below and the higher-ups of the Headmaster's Academy couldn't help but smile and shake their heads, because they all knew that Fang Qiu was not such a person.
Fang Qiu was a famous gentleman in the Headmaster's Academy, Liu Xiahui.
How could he do such a thing?!
Fang Qiu was ashamed and angry, his face flushed. He saw that Princess Hua Shao had pushed Lin Fan, and then one of them bumped into another, causing a domino effect, which caused Su Li to complain. So he glared at Princess Hua Shao fiercely. "Hua Shao, why did you push him?
How can you mess up etiquette in the Headmaster's Academy!? "
Fang Qiu practiced the Way of "etiquette" and paid the most attention to etiquette. In his view, Princess Hua Shao had messed up etiquette by pushing Lin Fan. It was a rude performance, so he reprimanded her. He did not accommodate her just because she was a princess.
Princess Hua Shao was angry and ashamed when she heard this. Not only had she been taken advantage of by Lin Fan, but now she had been scolded by Eldest Senior Brother. The depression in her heart was indescribable. She pursed her red lips, gritted her teeth, and was about to jump up, get rid of the shackles of space, and fly out of the Golden Page Flying Boat …
However, just as she flew out of the Golden Page Flying Boat, the Old Master below stretched out his hand and aimed his palm at the flying boat. Suddenly, a character of Tao floated out of his palm, shining with golden light. Then, from the character of Tao, a golden light shot out and hit the flying boat.
Suddenly, the Golden Page Flying Boat shone with golden light, and immediately trembled, and then lengthened and widened on its own …
Seeing this, everyone stared at the Old Master with admiration in their eyes. For the sake of these ten students, the Old Master did not hesitate to use his power of the Holy Way to lengthen and widen the Golden Page Flying Boat!
Under the transformation of the Old Master's power of the Holy Way, the flying boat finally grew another meter and widened by half a meter. In this way, the space inside the flying boat was much larger, and the ten people would not be so crowded.
They could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on their faces.
Princess Hua Shao, who had just flown out of the flying boat, saw that the flying boat had expanded a lot, and her face was very embarrassed. At this time, she wanted to return to the Golden Page Flying Boat, but she was too embarrassed to do so, and her heart was tormented.
In fact, she could fly to the Ghost Realm, but the Ghost Realm was thousands of miles away. If she flew there, she did not know how much natural Qi it would consume.
But riding the Golden Page Flying Boat did not consume any spiritual power, and she also knew that the words on the Golden Page would be of some help to the comprehension of the power of the Tao.
In other words, riding the Golden Page Flying Boat not only did not consume any spiritual power, but also could comprehend the Tao on it. Moreover, comprehending the Tao on the Golden Page Flying Boat was much easier and faster than comprehending in other places.
It could achieve the effect of half the damage and double the damage.
This was equivalent to two great benefits.
If Princess Hua Shao did not ride the Golden Page Flying Boat, it was equivalent to giving up these two great benefits. The key was that her personal flying speed was far slower than the Golden Page Flying Boat, and if she moved alone, she would fall behind.
It was just that she had just flown out of the Golden Page Flying Boat, and she really could not turn away this face to return. At this time, she was riding a tiger and was in a difficult position.
Raising his head and glancing at Princess Hua Shao, he immediately understood her awkward situation. Lin Fan smiled playfully, leaped up, and stretched out his hand, pulling her back onto the Golden Page Flying Boat.
Taking the opportunity to hold her small hand, Lin Fan smiled happily.
Although Princess Hua Shao was angry, because Lin Fan had given her a way out and helped her return to the Golden Page Flying Boat, she was also somewhat grateful. At this time, no matter how angry she was, she was too embarrassed to lose her temper, and fiercely rolled her eyes at Lin Fan.
With a whoosh, she turned around, leaving her beautiful back to him.
The other eight people stared at the two of them, their eyes revealing a somewhat ambiguous look.
