Chapter 22: The Awakened Talent
Most people in the Rainbow Empire live in seven states, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, corresponding to seven time zones. The time zone where Gu He is located corresponds to Qingzhou, and in addition to this, there is also a Hongzhou, also known as Dizhou, which is the time zone where the capital of the Rainbow Empire is located. And whether it is Qingzhou or Hongzhou, in fact, they rarely hear about the awakened.
It is said that it all has to do with the history of the Awakened. The first generation of human awakened people appeared about a hundred years ago. At that time, they were a group of ordinary people from all walks of life who liked to exercise, enjoyed exercising, and continued to exercise. As the world changes, one day they find themselves seemingly different, able to concentrate for longer.
This is spiritual awakening. After the spirit awakens, the efficiency of doing anything will be several times higher than before the awakening. And when it comes to exercise, it is easier and easier to allocate physical energy, and more difficult movements can be completed. At first, there were no more and no less awakened people. Although their physical performance beyond ordinary people has aroused people's amazement, because of the continuous progress of the times, few people have thought about it deeply.
Until more and more people awaken, the degree of awakening is getting higher and higher. Several of the most powerful empires of the time were the first to notice this. Although there were no elemental awakeners at that time, when the pure spiritual power awakeners broke through the second order and officially awakened, and the power that could attack and even control ordinary animals with spiritual power appeared, these imperial scientific research units began to get excited and began to conduct relevant research.
Although there were already a lot of awakened people at that time, and there were people from all walks of life, and even any ordinary person could have an awakened person who was walking on the path of awakening, but after research, it was still found that not everyone could become an awakened person. Most people may awaken by chance, but it is still difficult to continue to improve and reach the second level of spiritual power and become a formal awakener.
Yang Lin told the original story of the Awakened, and the passers-by next to him and Gu He listened to it with relish. The passers-by couldn't help but be interested, and the female companion at his table said, "I participated in the Alien War ninety years ago, but I was one of the few survivors at that time. Looking at today's prosperous times, who remembers that aliens attacked Blue Star ninety years ago. ”
"Neurotic," the woman said expressionlessly.
Tianluo New Lake, a scenic lake with a nice view, with poplar trees on both sides.
A hundred years ago, the world broke out in World War III, also a nuclear war. The cause was a lavish wedding held for himself by a young imperial commander on another continent. Aircraft carriers parade, warplanes clear their way, and missiles are launched to celebrate as they pass through the Rainbow Empire. The original plan was to prepare for a circumnavigation of the Blue Star. But the Rainbow Empire put an end to all this, and the wedding sank into the sea even with his wedding. Even now, the causes of World War III are still magical, but no one has come out to deny its authenticity. That's what the Rainbow Empire's chronicles say.
"That young commander is an Awakened One, even a third-order spiritual power master. It is recorded in the organization that he invited the naval commander of our Rainbow Empire to attend his wedding on the aircraft carrier, and then intended to exercise mind control," Yang Lin mentioned the story behind it and continued, "After this incident, the Empire established the official Awakened Organization for the first time. All walks of life, and even many of the descendants of high-ranking officials, have been organized in a centralized manner for unified training and guidance.
"The fallen Thunderbolt King was originally a teacher in the early days of the organization, and was known for his rough management methods. ”
Gu He couldn't help but be surprised that the Thunder and Lightning Law King had lived for nearly a hundred years. The memory of the giant in the aura is very rare.
A hundred years ago, a wedding sparked World War III and prompted empires to establish the Awakened Order. As for the war between the awakened people later, Yang Lin didn't want to say more.
"There are three types of awakened ones. The first is not very talented. Even if this kind of spiritual power is awakened due to various external stimuli, it may be difficult to reach the second order and become a formal awakened person in his lifetime. ”
"The second type is those who have spiritual power talents, but do not have awakened elemental talents. The best of them may break through the third order and become a spiritual power master, but it will still be difficult for them to become a third order in most lifetimes. ”
Yang Lin paused and continued.
"The third is the Awakening Element. Although most elemental awakeners are able to become the third order, if they want to break through the fourth order, the difficulty is close to that of the Leaping Dragon. Only the best of them could continue to break through and become a fourth-order, or even a legendary fifth-order Dharma King existence. ”
"The War of the Awakened that broke out after the Third World War was dominated by third-order, even fourth- and fifth-order existences. The Awakened were among the most powerful people in the world at the time. The chaos caused is unimaginable. ”
"Elemental Awakeners sharpen their spirits through the elements, and thus slowly step into the third order, although they have given up the mastery of pure spiritual power and mental power, the defense of spiritual power will also be stronger," Yang Lin explained.
"The war between the Awakened stopped decades ago. And the Empire had already signed a peace pact decades earlier. Today's Star City, for most of the awakened, is not only a final destination, but also a physical prison that is allowed to enter but not to leave. Even if you become a third-order inspector, you can only come out by performing some tasks. ”
Seeing that Yang Lin didn't look like a joke, Gu He really hesitated. Originally, I just thought that the Explorer Headquarters was the base camp of the Awakened, so it didn't hurt to go and see it. But in Yang Lin's mouth, it has become a cage where you are allowed to enter but not to leave. It is estimated that it will take ten years for him to become a third-order existence like Yang Lin, and this ten years is long enough.
"Then if I join the Rainbow Academy, there won't be any problems on the Explorer Organization's side, right?" Gu He asked. In this world, at least around them, most people are unaware of the existence of the Awakened. There must be some force that is erasing the traces of the Awakened haunts. Of course, it is also possible that most of the Awoken have gathered in Starlight City.
Gu He still tended to silently break through to the third order in the explorer organization first. But hearing the actual situation of the explorer organization that allowed him to enter but not to leave, Gu He was already a little hesitant, thinking that it was actually not bad to join Rainbow Academy. This pursuit of advantages and avoiding disadvantages is naturally to be obtained.
"I can cancel your registration. But you have to think about it, you can't change it if you really make a good choice," Yang Lin nodded.
"Brother Yang wants me to join the Rainbow Academy," Gu He asked, although Yang Lin's meaning was obvious, but he still confirmed it.
"You and I are both witnesses to the Lijiang City incident. If such incidents become more and more frequent in the future, then you in Rainbow Academy may be more helpful and safer for us," Yang Lin said with a smile.
After Yang Lin left, Gu He was also silent. He moved to Tianluo New Town with his family, and Yang Lin also found it in person, obviously with his heart. After some conversations, I did lose my yearning for the Explorer Organization.
"Our situation is safer," Gu He said silently, could it be that he was in danger for some reason, and it was very likely to be related to Yang Lin. I think about it carefully, but I don't have a clue.
The day passed quietly. At night, Gu He clicked on the member badge and expressed his intention to join the inviter of Qingzhou Rainbow College. Soon, a reply was received. Gu He found that he was thinking too much. Since Rainbow Academy recruits members from the Explorer Organization in an open and honest manner, it naturally has a complete process arrangement, so that the members are completely separated from the Explorer Organization, and only a complete verification process needs to be carried out?
After some exchange, the other party determined that he was just an ordinary second-order spiritual power awakener, and he belonged to the second type of awakened person that Yang Lin said. Not too good, but not too bad. Gu He successfully got the position of teaching. There are only two types of Rainbow Academy positions that second-order awakened people can hold: teaching and mentoring. The criteria for advancing to a mentor are the Awakeners of the late Second Order or the Elemental Awakeners of the Middle of the Second Order, and have accumulated considerable contributions to the Academy. Gu He was already satisfied, after all, compared to elemental awakeners, the upper limit of ordinary awakened people was extremely limited.
After looking for some profiles of the Explorer's organization's internal network to introduce the Awakened, Gu He also learned about the unusual aspects of the Elemental Awakeners. Not only is the ceiling higher and the breakthrough faster, but it also comes with a variety of elemental skills. For example, the second-order fire element awakener, how to condense flames, rub out fireballs, or attach flame armor, or even heat the surrounding air, are all very practical attacks and auxiliary means.
And an ordinary awakened person like himself who has only awakened spiritual power and has no awakening elemental talent is useless except for launching mental power and mental power attacks and monsters to consume spiritual power. While Gu He was helpless, he also decided to continue practicing swordsmanship. The body is the first element of cultivation, and awakening the spiritual power itself is also a burden. Unlike elemental awakeners, who can use elements to change the attributes of their constitution......
It was late at night, and when Gu He's consciousness was hazy, snow fell outside the window. Gu He opened his eyes, got up and came to the window. It was a white mist again, and there were also huge rotting corpses walking by. What's going on, aren't you in Tianluo New Town now? Could this fog still have something to do with the Lijiang City incident? How could it be, so far away?
Is it a nightmare? How to wake up. Gu He felt as if he was in a dream, and with his weak thoughts, he seemed to be gradually getting out of the dream. If you can get out of your dreams at any time, you won't be in a hurry for the time being. Through the window, Gu He looked outside. It should be early in the morning, and the night was very dark, but it was a little dim, and the white fog was like nothing, like a black and white picture. Gu He felt that his spiritual power seemed to enjoy a similar environment. Mental power is a bit of a condensed feeling.
Gu He walked out of the house. As if the white mist was absent, Gu He found that the surroundings seemed to be a forest-like environment, with pine trees standing green and alone. Gu He remembered that the last time he had this dream, he had just awakened his spiritual power. Because of the spiritual power seed, he had just awakened his spiritual power, and soon reached the threshold of second-order spiritual power. It's just that this dream is a continuation of the last dream?
Gu He remembered the description of the heroic talent: occult art in the giant's aura. It seems that the giants value this, saying that it is an ability given by the gods of heaven and earth to the lucky ones of ordinary races. In addition to quickly recovering full mental power, it is said that its owner seems to be able to use mysticism to communicate some strange and unpredictable special scenes.
