Chapter 4: The Wisher Takes the Bait (6200)
2018, May 29, noon.
Hongcheng No. 1 Middle School, Senior High School (2) class, Reiki classroom.
"This is the last Reiki class at the end of the semester, and the next step is the Holy Lift Exam...... Words of encouragement have been said too much, in short, work hard. Goodbye, classmates. ”
"Goodbye, teacher!"
As the bell rang and the farewell was heard, the last Reiki class before the Sacred Lift Election was over.
The gray-haired professor watched in silence at the many students who were reluctant to say goodbye, watching these young and hopeful seeds walk out the door, a smile on his lips.
He had seen this scene many times, and each time his heart was surging, and a sense of accomplishment in his heart that he had witnessed the growth of a new generation overflowed in his heart.
However, when a girl with an inconspicuous temperament and even a sense of non-existence was quietly holding her mobile phone and preparing to leave the classroom, the old professor rarely spoke.
"Shao Shuangyue, wait a minute."
At this time, the people in the classroom were almost gone, and the old professor's voice obviously used some kind of transcendent technique, which only Shao Shuangyue could hear.
After hearing this, the girl was slightly stunned, then turned her head and walked over obediently.
"Shao Shuangyue, although your aura class results are not among the best among the students in the school, they are definitely upstream."
Without any extra nonsense, the old professor packed his briefcase and said calmly: "Your grades in ordinary subjects are quite good, plus this Spiritual Qi class score that belongs to the upper reaches, if you can also perform smoothly in the Holy Lift selection exam, it will not be difficult to be admitted to the transcendent department of the first-class academy." ”
"Hmm...... Thank you, teacher, for the compliment. ”
The white-haired old man's tone was soft, but the black-haired girl knew that the other party had deliberately stopped her, and it was absolutely impossible for her to praise herself just for the sake of praising herself.
Sure enough, after a few words of encouragement, the old professor's words turned sharp, and he suddenly became a little stern: "But Shao Shuangyue, you may think that you are hiding it well, but in fact, for a true cultivator, your actions are too deliberate. ”
"You deliberately suppressed the speed of your aura absorption, and deliberately slowed down when learning Dao techniques and runes...... These actions, in the words of you young people, are as obvious as playing a video game and deliberately giving people away. ”
"You probably don't want to be too conspicuous, but I don't force that. But remember, child, you must do your best when choosing the Sacred Examination, there is a world of difference between the cultivation departments of the three major cultivation academies and ordinary first-class academies, if you can go to the former, go to the former, otherwise, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life. ”
"Yes, yes, teacher."
Looking at the girl in front of him who was respectful, submissive, and promised faster than anyone else, the old professor couldn't help but sigh lightly: "There's no need to have too much psychological pressure, those brothers of yours...... Go ahead, I'm not in a position to say anything, but you have to have a string in your heart. ”
"Thank you, teacher......"
With a slight bow politely again, the girl left the classroom under the slightly worried gaze of the old professor.
Crowds surged in the corridors and staircases.
Walking out of the teaching building, Shao Shuangyue walked on the road leading to the new canteen with heavy steps, and put on headphones for herself with some restlessness.
The physical fitness brought about by the revival of Reiki and the productivity improvement brought about by the rapid explosion of Reiki technology have also led to a leap and bounds in the capacity of private infrastructure, which has caused far-reaching impacts, such as the infrastructure in remote mountainous areas, which was originally extremely difficult, has now become a common project.
But for students living in the city, it is nothing more than the old school hall that has been quickly renovated in just a few days of vacation, making it a little difficult to tell where the cafeteria is.
Not a girl at all, but a special audiophile's black heavy-duty all-inclusive ear on her head, instantly blocking all the noisy sound waves of the school, Shao Shuangyue silently started the music player, but she didn't really listen to what kind of music it was, she just isolated everything, thinking about trivial things in the soft rhythm and humming from the far side.
The soothing rhythm beats, and Shao Shuangyue can gradually hear her slightly rapid breathing.
A gust of wind blew, causing the long hair to drift slightly. The girl raised her head and looked around at the sunny academy.
In early summer, scattered clouds drift in the blue sky, and the newly planted new mahogany branches and leaves, which are said to purify the air and gather the energy of aura, swayed in the wind, and scattered sunlight passed through the cracks, reflecting spots of light on the ground.
It was only at this time, watching all this, that Shao Shuangyue's heart gradually regained its peace.
"Holy Election Test......" she muttered to herself, a little confused.
On May 29, 2018, Shao Shuangyue was 17 years old.
He's a weirdo.
The so-called weirdos are just different from most people.
And Shao Shuangyue has been like this since she was a child.
Although in terms of the degree of weirdness, she is far inferior to her two brothers who go out to find ghosts from time to time, but as a beautiful girl with an absolute appearance, Shao Shuangyue not only has no girlfriends in reality, but even has few friends in general, and is keen on all kinds of strange hardcore electronics or desktop games, which is diametrically opposed to the hobbies of ordinary girls.
The door does not go out of the door, the lonely rich lady, the indifferent and dark beautiful girl who is silent...... Maybe hearing this will surprise Shao Qiming and Su Day, who are familiar with their little sister's nature, but this is indeed Shao Shuangyue's character at school.
As for why......
Probably because, 'not interested'.
Because she is not interested in anything too ordinary, and she has no sense of security, Shao Shuangyue would rather give up real interpersonal communication and devote herself to the magnificent and interesting game world.
However, this is slowly changing.
Because,After the revival of the aura,,The real world,It's gradually becoming interesting.,So that girls who are used to immersing themselves in the game often pay attention to it.。
But even so, Shao Shuangyue, who is accustomed to the current way of life, has not changed her mind for the time being.
——It shouldn't be too late to wait until you enter the academy to start a lively and noisy new life.
Although she thought so, there was still a trace of inexplicable worry in her heart.
In just over a week, it will be the Holy Lift Election.
The first goal is 'Qinxing Academy', and the second goal is the local 'Zhengyi Academy' in Hongzhou, these two academies, as the old professor said, as long as she no longer hides her strength and plays smoothly, she can definitely be admitted.
After all, Brother Day has brought so many genius treasures, and his own brother will help tutor whenever he has time, a world No. 1, a strong person among the world's top young geniuses, how can her real level be poor? If it weren't for not wanting to be too showy and affect his usual peaceful life, it would not be difficult for Shao Shuangyue to win the first place in the school.
But even so, he has obviously eaten a lot of genius treasures, and his talent is not bad, and his cultivation path is even smoother, with two very reliable big brothers to escort him...... But even so, when Shao Shuangyue was doing penance at home, there was still an inexplicable confusion in her heart.
- Retreat, practice, taking pills...... In this way, can we succeed in our practice?
Just like that, you can become a strong person......
Can you keep up with them?
"Hey, Frost Moon!"
And just when she was secretly distressed in her heart, Shao Shuangyue suddenly heard a refreshing greeting from behind her, turned her head in surprise, took off her headphones, and the girl saw a trotting figure stop in front of her.
It was a tall, sassy short-haired girl named Qing Yinghua, not Shao Shuangyue's classmate, but one of the few people Shao Shuangyue knew at school.
As for why the two met, it was quite a coincidence - Qing Yinghua is a rare war game enthusiast, she often played games online with Shao Shuangyue, the longest time was a summer vacation two years ago, they played civilization online, and fought for three days and three nights.
"Did you see that, big news! It's crazy on the Internet! ”
Qing Yinghua's family is said to have some kind of wolf bloodline, after the revival of the aura, the bloodline is also revived, and her height was about the same as Shao Shuangyue's at the beginning, but now she is about to be a head taller.
She ran over with great interest, as if she wanted to exchange relevant information with her friends, but Shao Shuangyue just shook her head: "No, isn't it a quick saint selection test recently, I haven't played the game anymore." ”
"It's not like you."
Qing Yinghua was quite puzzled by this, in her impression, Shao Shuangyue was not such a person, but this was not an important matter, the short-haired girl immediately raised her mobile phone excitedly and said: "Look at the various large-scale selection tests officially announced recently, as well as all kinds of competitions!" It's the first time I've seen such a big event! ”
"Especially this one, you see, the first National College Comprehensive Skills Competition! Whether it is actual combat, theory, smelting, puppetry, or talisman making, drawing formations...... All the subjects and techniques we usually learn are classified! ”
"This ......" carefully read all kinds of competition news on her mobile phone, Shao Shuangyue was surprised, and couldn't help but be a little confused: "Although it is indeed very lively, yes, but what does this have to do with us high school juniors?" ”
"Since the first competition starts in November, we may be able to participate in the annual competition as the first batch of candidates!"
Compared with Shao Shuangyue, who was a little unclear about the situation, Qing Yinghua was full of enthusiasm, and she imagined excitedly: "Although this competition seems to be very difficult, as long as you can get a slightly higher ranking, you will have a high civic point reward, and the relevant glory will be of great use in the academy or in the future work, and you can also accumulate experience for participating in the same competition in the future." ”
"And if nothing else, you see, what is the reward for the first place...... That's an immortal-level cultivation method! Even if he is an excellent student of a first-class cultivation academy, he has studied hard for four years and has completed the credits for his internship, it is nothing more than just being able to exchange for an immortal-level cultivation method! And lo and behold, you can also get the guidance of the first person in Jeongkook personally! ”
It's not just Shao Shuangyue and Qing Yinghua.
As the news spread rapidly, it was soon filled with voices discussing the news throughout the high school.
Compared with Shao Shuangyue, who was quite dazed, most people were looking forward to this.
In this regard, the girl had to pick up her mobile phone and search for relevant messages to check.
As Tongqing Yinghua said, the rewards of the National College Comprehensive Skills Competition are very rich, and each academic year has an independent competition, and the top 1,000 have corresponding credits and civic points rewards.
Although the vast majority of ordinary students now focus on the Holy Election Examination, for those students who are gifted and do not need to care about the Sacred Examination Selection, they naturally set their goals on this.
After all, the more credits and civic points you have, the better, and they are very useful for study, work, or cultivation in the future.
If you can take the first place, you will get the inheritance of the fairy god level...... That's a big step to the top.
What's more, there is also the first person in Jeongkook to personally guide him, which is something that can't be exchanged for money and points!
"Can this really be used as a reward...... I mean, what's going on, how is it that the official is completely like a change of character? ”
Not to mention the complaint about the reward of 'Jeongkook's first person to personally instruct', the girl browsed all kinds of news in her hand in surprise, Shao Shuangyue found that she hadn't been online much for a month or two, and it turned out that it was like a different world line, and everything changed drastically!
In fact, in addition to various skill competitions for college students, many other competitive selection projects have been proposed by major officials and non-governmental organizations around the world during this period.
In addition to the 'Comprehensive Combat Competition' for practical training and the 'New Olympic Games' for pure physical competition, applications have also been announced, such as the 'Super Brain' for the speed of thinking, and the 'God of Food Competition' for cooking, with tens of thousands of participants.
As for the other kinds of competitions, there are countless at all, at least Shao Shuangyue can't watch them at all.
[This is obviously the official want to probe the bottom and collect the files of relevant professionals! ] 】
[That's right, whoever participates in these competitions, whose hole cards will be mastered by the official, and when the official asks you to hand in the secret biography, or work for them, will you have a reason to refuse?!] 】
[LSSB? The official still needs to probe your bottom? Everyone has already registered at the beginning of Reiki revival, okay? 】
[But what does the official want to do, suddenly there are so many competitions, is it possible that we are too safe to practice? 】
After a general glance at the several cultivator forums that she frequented, Shao Shuangyue found that even those uncles who claimed to be people in the industry in the past did not make any noise at this time, and the entire forum was in chaos, no matter what conspiracy theories there were.
The boulder that was suddenly thrown caused an uproar in a society that was originally calm and waveless.
"How about it, Frost Moon, do you want to try it?"
At this time, my friend Qing Yinghua's eager voice sounded in my ears: "I know your true strength, and you can definitely get a good ranking!" ”
"I ......"
And just when Shao Shuangyue hesitated and thought.
The other side of the earth.
"The immortal god-level cultivation method ...... 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Tribulation True Method', how can this name be so similar to the top-secret practice passed down in the family?"
Zhengguo is in the south and Yunnan is in the southeast.
In a small garden full of ancient landscapes, a middle-aged man in a silk nightgown turned off his mobile phone, and then walked out of the Gathering Spirit Secret Room full of talismans and cloud inscriptions with a puzzled expression.
As a family of cultivators who have been secretly inherited for nearly a thousand years, a member of the 'Please Shen Wu Family', the middle-aged man knows very well that the inheritance of his family's exposure is a kind of 'Ask Mystic Method' that can condense the power of incense in the world and sublimate one's soul, which is also the foundation of their family's official registration in Jeongguk.
However, as the contemporary head of the Wu family, the middle-aged man knows very well that the secret method inherited in his family is like an iceberg, and its complexity is far beyond what is revealed, just because the aura has not been revived and cannot be cultivated to a higher level, so those really powerful, mysterious and mysterious parts are put on the shelf.
The technique of inviting the gods is just a small part of the many secret methods of the 'Six Heavenly Books' that descended from the sky, which are subordinate to the 'Dao of the World'.
And this small part is enough to create a family with an ancient heritage.
If so, make it all ...... Maybe becoming an immortal is also a breeze!
Now, with the revival of the aura, the middle-aged man thought that he only needed to practice with peace of mind, and the remaining five realms would be enough to become a generation of powerhouses, and when the time came, whether it was to recreate the glory of the family, or to try to become a 'contemporary immortal' in this great world, and lay the foundation for eternity, it was something that could be looked forward to.
"The secret method of the family should not be able to be passed on...... This is the foundation of our Wu family, and the ancestors of all dynasties have never passed on half a word since they obtained the Six Heavenly Books! ”
But now, seeing some fragments of the 'Six Realms of Reincarnation Tribulation True Method' on the Internet, which made him feel extremely familiar and rewarded, the middle-aged man's original quiet and peaceful state of mind was shattered.
With a furrowed brow, he walked down the bluestone corridor, and finally, he made up his mind.
The middle-aged man looked firm: "No, I have to go and see what the situation is." ”
The family that inherited the ancient forbidden law was attracted to attention.
"The Secret Method of Eternal Reincarnation...... Hey, interesting, this has something to do with a supreme secret technique that the deity had heard of in the past. ”
Tibet, under the snow-capped mountains.
"Reversing yin and yang time and space, eternal reincarnation is endless, not born or destroyed, not dirty and not pure, not increasing or decreasing, pointing directly to the peak of the heavenly immortals, the great bodhisattva fruit position...... Interesting, really interesting. ”
Sen's cold and ruthless, decrepit tone was spoken in a very young and youthful tone.
With the crisp sound of the ice breaking, a Tibetan boy who had been frozen in transparent ice shattered the ice, and he walked out of the frozen cave to the surface of the snow-capped mountain, looking at the vast plateau in the distance, his eyes flashing with a cold aura.
"This generation of the human court, even such a secret technique can be easily given away as a reward? Is it not clear how precious it is, or is there something wrong with the secret method itself? ”
After thinking for a while, the Tibetan boy had an indifferent expression, as if an ancient soul was living in it: "Well, it's a big deal to find another flesh shell to reincarnate." ”
"In addition to finding a bloodline descendant who meets the requirements, only by using this kind of reincarnation secret technique can I solve the problem of soul conflict caused by my bloodline rebirth...... And with the strength of the deity, it should not be difficult to win the first place of this young generation. ”
The ancient demon that has been revived from the bloodline is eager to try.
"Elder Shu, what do you think of the current situation?"
Coastal area, eastern Liaozhou, harbor city.
A young girl with long dark brown hair and a serious gaze was standing respectfully in front of a small potted plant on her balcony, and asked in a cautious tone: "Should I participate in this 'extraordinary gardening competition'?" ”
And the kind and gentle thought came from the little tree potted plant: "Of course. ”
"Little girl, the Divine Wood Cultivation Method rewarded by this competition, as well as the 'Dust of the Worlds', are exactly the advanced materials you urgently need now! As long as you have these, I can guarantee that you can go all the way smoothly to the peak of human immortals, and it is not impossible to look forward to the realm of immortals in the future and become a real immortal! ”
"The aura has been cut off for thousands of years, the body of the Shenmu has left, I am just a little bit of the spirit of the former Shenmu, sleeping in the depths of the mountains with spiritual power, and surviving with the power of thousands of miles of forests, the inheritance that can be remembered is only one-twelfth of tenths, but as long as there are other Shenmu inheritances, even if it is not complete, I can also rely on my innate spirituality to deduce it to Dacheng."
"And the dust of the worlds is even more rare, and it takes the strong of the heavenly immortals to go to the secret realm to break through the realm of heaven and earth, so that they can barely collect a few ...... from the void This is a great complement for all the Divine Trees, and if you can get it, you can improve by leaps and bounds, and I will definitely be able to recover a lot, and even restore the spiritual personality of the body, it may not be impossible. ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll sign up now!"
Hearing Lao Shu's words, the girl suddenly nodded excitedly, and she smiled confidently: "Hmph, with my current strength, what kind of competition is it not easy to participate in this competition?" Take the resources for nothing, don't take them for nothing! ”
Immediately afterward, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to apply for the competition.
And the spirit of the Divine Wood also encouraged softly: "For so many years, please keep hiding your strength...... But now, it's time for a blockbuster! ”
The heirs of the former immortals who have awakened from a long slumber are also about to emerge.
Even, even on the other side of the distant stars, there are strange things happening.
Around the huge brown gas giant star of the solar system, faint energy fluctuations flickered.
A strange cylindrical spacecraft, less than 100 meters in size and almost translucent, is hiding in the orbits of many moons of gas giants, silently and covertly scanning the entire solar system.
[The forbidden area of the black domain is completely opened...... A superpsionic reaction from the third planet has been detected. 】
【……】
After a long silence, there seemed to be a lot of exchange and discussion in the internal communication channel.
In the end, the exploration ship made a decision.
[Conduct a minimum basic probe ...... Stealthy stance. 】
So, on the spaceship, several streamers flashed, speeding towards the earth at sub-light speed.
And above the earth.
The angler put the line long.
Xijing, Candlelight Group, Xiyue Hotel, high-rise office.
"How's it going, Qiming, what's the response?"
"It's very good, at least the response to the promotion has been very good, and most of the practitioners who are confident in themselves have enthusiastically signed up for the competition."
Raising his left hand, Su Sun browsed the many feedback data on the agent terminal and Yansheng after sorting out, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Very good, in this way, at least you can catch a few eager fish." ”
"The four years of calm after the revival of the aura have certainly made the pool a little stagnant, but it has also paralyzed them."
In this regard, Shao Qiming, whose eyes were concentrated on the screen, smiled slightly.
"After all...... It's all those who wish to take the bait. ”
