Chapter 405: Passing on the Torch (with illustrations)
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Rong Shu stepped onto the Liufang Tower.
One step at a time, one question at a time.
Outside the Liufang Tower, the Kamikaze Army silently changed their formation and lined up solemnly.
The seventy-two neatly arranged drums and one hundred and eight bronze chimes, beaten together by the Kamikaze Army, played war songs passed down from ancient times.
The momentum is grand and majestic, solemn and exciting.
It was as if all the blood in my body was boiling! Trembling!
When Rong Shu Dubu reached the top floor of Liufang Tower, he drew his sword with his backhand.
The sharp blade flashed, and the moment it touched the inner wall of the tower, the entire Liufang Tower was filled with golden rune light inside and out.
Star-like talisman lights floated out from the wall and turned into a five-clawed golden dragon in front of Rong Shu.
The golden dragon soared into the sky and roared to the heavens!
The color of heaven and earth changes!
After circling around the top of the tower for several times, the golden dragon quickly fell back into the tower and finally sank into Rong Shu's eyebrows.
The golden dragon disappeared in Rong Shu's sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness is churning.
The golden light dissipated by the golden dragon turned into a vast star map.
Rong Shu only did a brief investigation and was surprised to find that this was actually a magical skill from ancient times that had long been lost.
——This is the "prize" given by Liufang Tower to Rong Shu, the champion.
Before Rong Shu could think about it, she felt as if she had some connection with the entire Liufang Tower.
She swung the knife again.
This time, she was not resisted by Liufang Tower and successfully and accurately carved her name on the wall of Liufang Tower.
The last knife fell.
Rong Shu sheathed his sword.
On the wall, the two characters "Rong Shu" written in a flamboyant style briefly flashed a golden light, as if coming alive.
This seemed to have triggered some special signal. The next moment, the names of the champions of previous Heroes Conferences on the wall began to shine at the same moment.
Every time a name lights up, a 'special' memory floods into Rong Shu's mind -
She saw, in the heavy rain, the black-clad swordsman had wolf-like eyes, drew his sword in silence, and cut the river in one stroke!
She saw, in the blazing flames, a woman in red acted arrogantly and wantonly, whipping out a nine-section whip and crushing the Buddha to pieces!
She saw, under the misty rain, a scholar in green clothes smiled gently, and with a paper fan, he pointed at the void!
……
Many fragments of memory kept flashing, and Rong Shu "saw" the unparalleled style of the champions of previous Heroes Conferences at the conference, with all kinds of magical powers and methods displayed.
Rong Shu was very surprised.
This……
It’s like suddenly unlocking hundreds of incredibly valuable “video tutorials” for free.
These memories will remain in Rong Shu's mind for a hundred years.
Over the past hundred years, Rong Shu has been able to call upon these memories at will, either fast-forwarding or slowing them down, and from the champions of previous conferences of heroes, he has become familiar with various schools of thought, extracting their essence and improving himself.
After receiving these "battle memories", Rong Shu suddenly remembered a vague voice in his mind -
"Your Majesty, as the champion of the 356th Heroes' Conference, are you willing to leave behind a record of your unique combat experience in the Liufang Tower for future generations to witness?"
"..."
Rong Shu's heart was slightly shaken.
She had just received those precious battle memories, which were actually left behind voluntarily by previous leaders.
They were once gifted and surpassed their peers to become the best.
The hundreds of unique skills they displayed were, without exception, the result of their hard work, day and night, and their value was immeasurable.
The most outstanding among the outstanding people always have their own pride.
At no time would they easily leave behind their unique skills for future generations to learn from.
But in this Liufang Tower, all 355 leaders in history, without exception, voluntarily left behind their battle memories.
What a treasure this is.
They stay to continue the torch of their predecessors.
They leave behind a legacy that acknowledges the support of future generations.
They stayed because they were confident that the future would not stop.
Even if the unique skills left behind at that time were thoroughly studied by later generations.
Tomorrow we will surely make breakthroughs, surpass ourselves, and create an even more wonderful legend.
Rong Shu seemed to have realized something. When she looked at the sharp names carved on the wall again, she felt like she was facing a "mirror of conscience".
The self in the mirror asked her: "Do you dare? Do you have confidence?"
Does she dare?
Rong smiled carelessly.
"Of course I dare!"
"I can!"
On the path of cultivating immortals, if you don’t make progress, you will regress.
Isn't it just about surpassing herself? Why wouldn't she dare to do that?
His heart moved as he pleased, and the two words "Rong Shu" that Rong Shu had just carved lit up again.
Rong Shu saw it.
Liu Fangta recorded all her battle memories from the finals.
At this point, Rong Shu took over the torch brought by his predecessors, added his own strong touch, and waited for the arrival of successors.
Passing on the torch.
Cherish each other.
Waiting for the next destined person.
"..."
The leader of the gathering of heroes has been decided.
The race has come to a temporary end.
There will be a series of competitions in different areas next, including swordplay, alchemy, formation... a variety of competitions.
To date, the Heroes Conference has been held for more than 300 sessions and has a long history, so there are hundreds of sub-competition areas.
Participants can choose any sub-area to compete.
Compared to the tense and exciting atmosphere in the main competition area, the competition atmosphere in the sub-competition areas was much more relaxed and lively, and even caused many oolong jokes.
"What? You didn't choose the swordplay division? You chose the archery division?"
A place in the audience seats.
Feng Qianli, Lu Zhuo, and Si Chenbi looked at Rong Shu in surprise, with incredible expressions, as if they were looking at a monster.
Rong Shu blinked: "Yes, is there a problem?"
Lu Zhuo fanned vigorously with his fan and said, "I understand that you're participating in the sword fighting competition. If you were to compete, no one would be able to compete with you for the championship in the sword fighting competition."
"But why are you thinking of participating in the archery competition? You're the champion. If you lose, it would be a disgrace to us."
Feng Qianli and Si Chenbi, who were defeated, nodded in unison.
Correct!
That's right!
Doesn't this make them seem even more cowardly?
Rong Shu said helplessly: "Don't worry, I know a little bit about how to use a bow and arrow."
"Rong Shu, your competition is about to start, hurry over." Duan Yuyan, holding a pile of cold drinks and snacks, walked through the crowd and came in front of the four people.
"Oh, that's good." Rong Shu took his own cup of cold drink, took a sip, and then said, "Then I'll be leaving first. Wait for my good news."
After Rong Shu left, Lu Zhuo was still muttering, "Is Rong Shu really sure? Should I place a bet?"
Seeing the three of them all with the same worried expression, Duan Yuyan was puzzled: "Rong Shu is a bow cultivator, isn't it normal for her to participate in the archery competition area?"
Miso miso miso!
Three pairs of eyes looked at Duan Yuyan in unison.
Duan Yuyan took a sip of the ice-cold drink and said calmly, "Calm down. It's just one more archery skill. Don't you know that Rong Shu was able to get a place in the Heroes Conference at Wenxin Academy because of his archery skills? He was even the champion of our academy."
Si Chenbi, who is a nerd and doesn't like to communicate: "..."
Feng Qianli, who had just come down the mountain and had no access to information: ...6!
Lu Zhuo, who only cares about dressing up:...hiss!
It was obvious that these people, one by one, two by three, did not like to collect gossip. They really did not know that Rong Shu was also a bow cultivator.
Feng Qianli scratched his head: "Rong Shu actually has this trick up her sleeve? When she fought with me, I thought she was giving it her all."
Si Chenbi, who had also fought with Rong Shu, nodded silently when he heard this.
Finally, the four of them all looked at Rong Shu standing on the competition field. Except for Si Chenbi, they all sighed in unison:
“…Beast!”
