Chapter 133: Master Ran Starts Class

Outside the bamboo village, at the edge of the bamboo forest.

The four-person squad observed for a moment, then plunged into the lush bamboo forest.

Although this demon cave was peaceful and quiet, there were demons in the forest after all, so everyone still had to be careful.

"Swish, swish~"

A wind blew, blowing the bamboo wood to sway gently, and the bamboo leaves rustled.

"Whoosh..."

Lu Ran walked on the side of the team, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

Others were carefully searching for the demon Bamboo Wood Demon, while Lu Ran was secretly enjoying it.

The fresh fragrance of bamboo wood was truly refreshing.

"This is too quiet, any situation?" Chang Ying asked in a low voice.

In this quiet environment, she didn't shout loudly anymore.

"No." Deng Yutang answered truthfully.

"Bamboo Wood Demon and bamboo color are very similar." Tian Tian said, "However, Bamboo Wood Demon is not very powerful, don't worry too much."

"That's true." Chang Ying nodded, "At worst, just get hit by a stick~"

Deng Yutang let out a cold snort, taking the lead: "Anyway, I am walking in front, right?"

Chang Ying laughed, carrying the opening mountain large axe: "I wanted to open the way, but Ran Treasure didn't let me!"

Lu Ran suddenly opened his mouth to remind: "There is one over there."

"Ah?" Chang Ying hurriedly asked, "Where, where?"

She quickly came to Lu Ran's side, looked carefully in the direction he pointed, and her eyes lit up.

Demon: Bamboo Wood Demon!

This kind of demon is humanoid, tall and thin, and the whole body is composed of clusters of emerald green bamboo wood.

It wears a bamboo leaf coat and a bamboo leaf woven hat.

Under the hat is an emerald green face, and the lower half of the face also wears a bamboo woven mask.

That pair of eyes is quite demonic, releasing emerald green light, quite terrifying.

"The eyes are quite scary, looks very powerful, but it's so dull." Chang Ying muttered.

"Shh~" Deng Yutang whistled, knocking on the bamboo by the roadside with his Heavenly Star Spear: "Hey!"

Chang Ying also raised her hand, waving constantly: "Here, here!"

"Umm?" In the distant bamboo forest, the Bamboo Wood Demon turned its head to look.

When it saw it was a human, its emerald green eyes shone even more brilliantly.

"Whoosh~"

In its bamboo joint palm, a thin bamboo stick suddenly appeared.

Evil Art: Bamboo Wood Stick!

Then, the stick was treated as a javelin and stabbed fiercely.

"Pitter-patter..."

Perhaps because the bamboo forest was too dense, or perhaps because the Bamboo Wood Demon's aim was too poor.

In short, the bamboo stick that flew over was blocked by the bamboo forest, flying around, and finally fell to the ground.

"Pfft~" The moment the bamboo stick fell to the ground, it also shattered into wisps of green smoke.

Everyone: "..."

Do you have to be so realistic?

You are a demon, are you acting cute with us here?

"Umm!" The Bamboo Wood Demon roared muffledly, striding forward, and summoned a bamboo wood stick in its hand again.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

As it walked, it knocked on the bamboo standing along the way, making an unusually crisp sound.

Tian Tian hurriedly said: "This Bamboo Wood Demon should be summoning companions, the book says, this is the Bamboo Demon clan's way of contacting!"

Chang Ying said indifferently: "Then let it contact!

More Bamboo Demons, quite good, one is not enough for us to share."

Tian Tian: "..."

If it were other demons, everyone might immediately step forward to stop it, or turn around and run.

At the very least, they would have to be tense.

But facing the ugly and cute Bamboo Wood Demon...

"Swish~ swish~"

The Bamboo Wood Demon got closer and closer, suddenly smashing the wooden stick in its hand downward.

Instantly, two bamboo leaves flew out from the head of the bamboo stick, like flying knives, stabbing at Lu Ran.

Evil Art: Bamboo Leaf Fly!

It is said to be like a flying knife, but this speed, this strength...

It is truly a bit unbearable to look at.

"Swish~ swish~"

Lu Ran picked up the Rosy Dawn Blade and swung a blade flower in front of him.

The black ice blade flashed, and the two bamboo leaves were instantly cut open, floating down lightly.

"Tsk tsk~" Chang Ying's eyes shone with brilliance, sighing lightly.

This little trick is so sensational.

She had thought that Lu Ran would dodge very easily.

But she didn't expect Lu Ran to stand in place and accurately cut the thin bamboo leaves.

Especially Lu Ran wearing black clothes, standing in this fairyland-like bamboo forest.

If he wore a hat, he would look more like an ancient swordsman.

"Umm!" The Bamboo Wood Demon finally rushed out of the dense forest, and the wooden stick smashed down fiercely.

Lu Ran immediately raised his blade to block.

But not with the blade edge, but with the blade body.

"Thump" a light sound, one person and one bamboo demon, blade and stick against each other, the posture frozen.

Such a scene made everyone a bit surprised.

Teammates are familiar with Lu Ran's fighting style, always breaking force with skill.

Plus Lu Ran is thin, people naturally think his strength attribute is worse.

In reality, it's not!

No matter if it's the tall Chang Ying or the burly Deng Yutang, in front of Lu Ran, they are all little brothers...

Only Deng Yutang, when inviting the Red Headband Ancestor to possess him, with his physical attributes skyrocketing, can compare to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's Evil Art: Soul-Splitting Strength is not a joke.

"Umm!" The Bamboo Wood Demon exerted force fiercely, roaring muffledly, determined to press the blade down.

Lu Ran suddenly took a step forward.

"Thump!"

Lu Ran suddenly raised a foot and kicked the Bamboo Wood Demon back into the bamboo forest.

"Are we not eliminating the demon?" Tian Tian asked curiously, "Although it is very weak, it is also a demon, and it will kill people."

Lu Ran looked at the Bamboo Wood Demon: "You misunderstood, I want it to find more companions."

His speaking speed was very fast: "This place is close to the bamboo village, we can withdraw at any time, no worries.

With such geographical conditions, why don't we treat this place as a training ground and treat the Bamboo Wood Demon clan as sparring partners.

What do you all think?"

Deng Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Not killing, but taking as sparring partners?"

Lu Ran nodded: "Slaughtering the Bamboo Wood Demon, there is no magic crystal to take, it is better to polish the skills."

While speaking, Lu Ran looked at the rushing Bamboo Wood Demon and chose to repeat the same trick.

After only one or two moves, the Bamboo Wood Demon was kicked in the chest and flew back again.

"Umm!!"

The Bamboo Wood Demon was obviously quite angry, its tall and thin body hit a cluster of bamboo wood, causing the bamboo leaves to sway and rustle.

Lu Ran was truly convinced.

The Bamboo Wood Demon just climbed up from the ground and rushed up again!

It really is a straight line.

You call someone, you have been kicked back twice, and you still rush up hard?

"Okay." Tian Tian nodded decisively, "We just entered the demon cave, full of energy, just right for training."

The school chose this demon cave to let students relax.

But in Lu Ran's place, improving strength is something that cannot be delayed for a moment!

It would be best if ten or eight Bamboo Wood Demons surrounded him, forming a "Shaolin Stick Monk Array," to help him train

"Can't we chop them?" Chang Ying gripped her mountain-cleaving axe, feeling it was a bit of a pity.

Lu Ran: "Our assignment is to chop bamboo; we need a total of 1,000 Evil Bamboo, you can chop them all."

"I don't want to!" Chang Ying quickly stepped forward twice, standing behind Lu Ran, her large axe reaching diagonally upward.

"Thud!"

The Bamboo Wood Demon's stick failed to land on the blade and was blocked by the axe.

Lu Ran: "..."

He turned his head and looked up at the female savage within arm's reach: "What are you doing?"

Chang Ying giggled: "This one is silly, let me play with it for a while."

Lu Ran: "Watch out!"

Lu Ran suddenly wrapped his arm around Chang Ying's waist, pulling her to the side to dodge.

"Sss! Sss!"

Where the two had just been standing, thin, long bamboo spikes suddenly pierced out.

Evil Technique: Bamboo Ground Spikes!

Come to think of it, even if the two hadn't dodged, it wouldn't have been a big problem.

The so-called "ground spikes" lacked force, and the bamboo tips weren't sharp; they were just like bamboo sticks.

This technique only causes the bamboo tips to become sharp spikes after advancing to the River Artifact grade.

Lu Ran had such an "over-the-top" reaction because he had gotten used to killing during the Night of the Fifteenth.

At the slightest sign of trouble, Lu Ran would be mentally tense; otherwise, it would be very easy to die suddenly.

"Haha, finally here!" Deng Yutang immediately went to meet them.

"Lu Ran," Tian Tian said softly; it was clear she was somewhat hesitant.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran had excellent hearing and naturally heard her clearly.

He let Chang Ying go to face the enemy, stuck his twin blades into the ground, and pulled a red scarf from his pocket: "What's wrong?"

Tian Tian gathered her courage and said: "Can you... can you give me some pointers?"

"Pointers?"

"Yes, movement and footwork," Tian Tian said, holding her three-foot sword and looking up at Lu Ran.

"Right, right, right!" Chang Ying echoed repeatedly, "You're like a loach, teach us, won't you?"

As she spoke, she held her mountain-cleaving axe and pressed the axe head against the Bamboo Wood Demon's face, pinning it firmly against a cluster of bamboo.

"Mmph! Mmph!" The Bamboo Wood Demon was about to explode with anger.

But its bamboo body lacked sufficient force and couldn't push the axe away at all; instead, it was shoved into the bamboo thicket by Chang Ying's axe.

Lu Ran tied the red scarf and made a butterfly knot at the back of his head: "Of course, as long as I can help you!"

Deng Yutang and Chang Ying's styles were relatively fierce, and they used long-handled heavy weapons, which didn't really match Lu Ran's combat style.

But Tian Tian could still learn a thing or two.

Although she always stayed in the center of the team and had defensive techniques to protect herself,

on the battlefield, one never knows what might happen; even if it could increase the survival probability by just a little, any amount of effort was worth it.

Lu Ran walked to Tian Tian's side and patted her head: "So, I'm taking you as an apprentice?"

Tian Tian clearly froze for a moment and said softly: "Ca-can I?"

In many people's hearts, including Tian Tian's, Lu Ran had long since been "deified."

Lu Ran was indeed very easygoing, and the two were teammates, seemingly equal.

But Tian Tian had always looked up to Lu Ran from a very low position.

Especially after these few Nights of the Fifteenth, Lu Ran's various extremely powerful performances made his image in Tian Tian's heart grow ever taller.

It also made Tian Tian feel that he was getting further and further away from her.

"It's settled then," Lu Ran suddenly raised his blade and pointed to the front right, "Go, Tian Tian!

I choose you!"

Master Ran's classroom, classes starting today.

First recruiting martial arts apprentices, and later, taking them as personal believers!

Need to find an opportunity to snatch little Tian Tian away from the God of Sword Lotus...
