Chapter 2 Early Morning
"Come, child, I will inscribe the mark of darkness on you. With the disappearance of the light and shadow of the reaper's lieutenant, the old man named Hades walked out of the dark corridor again, took down the black crystal stone on the altar, and placed it on top of Hua Zhang's head, Hua Zhang stopped talking, closed his eyes, since there is no way to make changes, then let it be natural and accept it calmly.
The old man turned around and put all the magical items back in their rightful places. Then he whispered the incomprehensible incantation. Hua Zhang floated up in response, and a dark purple six-pointed star array appeared on the dilapidated table, and the complex pattern seemed to indicate the birth of a new ability. The light mark on Hua Zhang's forehead appeared, and gradually between the light marks, black lines appeared. As the incantation was chanted, the black lines gradually darkened under the light seal, and the light and flame parts gradually became three-dimensional. At the same time, several items around Hua Zhang also floated up, and with the chanting of the incantation, the items began to rotate around Hua Zhang. Suddenly, cracks began to appear in several other items, including Beijing stone. "He!" Under the old man's order, several items suddenly exploded, Min Wei's dust dispersed into Hua Zhang's body, and finally the sickle inserted in Hua Zhang's shoulder suddenly exploded into powder, but the powder did not scatter, but converged into a black sphere, and entered the black seal on Hua Zhang's forehead.
Hua Zhang's Sea of Divine Consciousness suddenly broke into a black energy body, and then this energy body spread out again in Hua Zhang's Sea of Divine Consciousness and transformed into a small black scythe. Hua Zhang screamed in pain, and gradually his consciousness became blurred.
"Am I going to die?" Hua Zhang thought to himself.
When Hua Zhang was about to pass out, Hua Zhang vaguely heard the old man say a few words. "Remember, don't use your dark energy, and don't use that scythe. When the time comes, I will agree with you to use the abilities you should have. ”

bedchamber
"Ahh
"What's wrong?!" Hua Zhang's mother pushed the door in, looked at Hua Zhang, who sat up in shock, and hurriedly asked.
"Oh, it's okay, Mom, I just had a nightmare, it's okay. Hua Zhang got up and dressed, the weather was already in spring, but it would still be a little cold in the morning, and Hua Zhang, who had just gotten up and was shirtless, still shivered.
"It's okay, I thought you were wetting the bed again. Hua Zhang's mother smiled and teased.
"Mom, I'm not too young, how can I wet the bed?" Hua Zhang said with a blushing face.
"Yo, it's not too small, you didn't pee the bed the day before yesterday, did you?" said Mom back to the kitchen.
"No! It's not me. Hua Zhang loudly protested against his mother picking up his old man, although there were no outsiders here.
"Okay, well, Zhang'er has grown up, get up and eat, today is the day you do the test, eat and drink well and play well, maybe our family will be able to produce a level 60 spirit master in the future." ”
"Well, I'll do my best. Hua Zhang walked out of the bedroom, looking at the table of delicious food, Hua Zhang's family conditions are actually not good, his father abandoned their mother and son not long after his mother gave birth to him. It was not easy for his mother to pull him to grow up over the years, so Hua Zhang was determined to become a great soul master since he was a child and let his mother live a good life. In fact, Hua Zhang's family conditions are not enough to eat meat from time to time, but in order for Hua Zhang to make a good exception, he made a sandwich with meat for Hua Zhang on a non-holiday day, and the delicious sandwich was also accompanied by fresh milk. Hua Zhang also knew that even if this breakfast was just an extra piece of meat and a glass of milk, it was a lot of hard work for his mother to earn.
At the age of six, it's finally time for me to prove myself. This time the mother must see her child, and she will finally be able to share her mother's worries, Hua Zhang meditated frantically in his heart, and the fist under the table was clenched into a small fist at some point.
"What do you want, so engrossed?" said Mom, coming out of the kitchen, holding two fried eggs. Due to special reasons, the creatures here are generally vegetarian and large, but the fertility is generally poor, resulting in some animals whose eggs are more expensive than meat. Looking at his mother's emaciated cheeks, Hua Zhang lowered his head and his vision blurred.
"It's okay, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get a good ranking and I won't let you down. Hua Zhang suddenly raised his head and said with a firm expression.
"Heh, the little kid has grown up and has backbone? Okay, then you can play well. Don't worry, even if you don't have a good talent, it's okay, your mother can raise you. Mom said as she went to the kitchen to clean up. It's just that what Hua Zhang didn't see was that his mother's tears had slipped down her eyes.
After eating, Hua Zhang took the soul power spar that her mother had prepared for her and walked to the way to the soul examination center.
......
The soul inspection office is a medium-sized building located in a nostalgic town, and the regular style between the bricks and tiles is vividly reflected, without bustling decoration, and the appearance is a place to serve the common people. But at this time, the front and back yards of the soul testing center were already crowded with children and parents who had come to do the test.
Bishop Divine stipulates that children who are at least six years old and less than eight years old have the opportunity to have a soul test. By testing the soul power and soul body, we can evaluate the direction of a child's potential and ability development, and use this to make better allocation and planning for the children's future. Between February and March, parents of children with children in this age group are particularly nervous, because it is a decisive step in the child's future. There will always be a few children who are favored by the bishop because of their excellent potential, and become a member of the bishop, or even a member of the inner parish of the bishop. There are actually very few members of the bishop's church, but without exception they are all one in a thousand, the real strength of the faction, can enter the bishop and become a candidate for the inner church of the bishop, it is equivalent to a step to the sky, no matter what the birth is, the identity of a simple candidate for the inner church of the bishop is enough to allow many children with ordinary or even humble status to compare with those nobles, if they do better, they can also let their families get a life like the aristocracy. However, the simple affairs of the inner hall obviously could not meet the goal of Hua Zhang, and the real goal of Hua Zhang was the candidate for the head of the inner hall of the Bishop of God. Although this goal is very lofty, but there is no goal, what is the difference between that and salted fish, you can not regret it if you have fought for it, and if it is achieved, it is the best reward for your mother.
There are many children waiting in line for testing in the soul testing center, and there are also many staff members who are busy before and after, busy with these children who may be great people of the country in the future. Of course, it's just a possibility, and there haven't been any children who meet the church's requirements in Pianshui Village for four years, and even during this period, only 11 children have met the admission requirements, an average of less than three a year.
Hua Zhang, who had been in a daze for a long time, was really out of options, so he had to turn to the adults around him to ask what the process was for this soul test?
"Hello everyone, I want to ask, I want to do how to test soul power, I've been here for a long time, and I don't know what kind of process it is. Hua Zhang looked at an uncle in work clothes who looked very simple and watched from the side. It's just that this uncle's work clothes are a little different from other ordinary employees, other people's clothes are cyan, while this uncle's clothes are blue, he should be a manager.
"Eh, kid, are you here alone, what about your fart parents?" the moment the uncle saw him, an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes. He said with a second thought, and at the same time he was a little surprised. Because the children who come here are accompanied by their parents, after all, the children are still young, only six to eight years old, and the vast majority of them, and even all parents should not be at ease to let a child come here to do the test alone. Therefore, seeing Hua Zhang coming alone, Uncle Hua Zhang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"I'm here alone. My mother still has to go to work, and the boss doesn't give me leave, and I have to deduct a lot of wages if I give it leave, so I have no choice but to come by myself. Hua Zhang said.
"Oh, what a sensible child, what's your name?" the uncle thought about it, and it was true that there were many families who were in difficulty. There was no way to make time for even such a crucial moment, and when he thought of this, the uncle couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"My name is Hua Zhang. Hua Zhang was neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly.
"Good boy, let's do it this way, I don't worry about you doing it alone, after all, everyone has this chance in their life, if you don't do it well or do it wrong, you won't have a chance, so you still come with me." The uncle said to Hua Zhang kindly, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the building.
"Okay, thank you, uncle" Hua Zhang hurriedly followed, "Uncle, what's your name?" Hua Zhang asked as he walked with his uncle.
"My surname is Wu, and my single name is a single word, you can call me Uncle Wu. Wu Li didn't tuck, and explained the title straightforwardly.
"Eh, Brother Wu, shouldn't you stay outside, why did you come in?" As he spoke, Hua Zhang saw a beautiful middle-aged woman greeted him from the opposite side, and asked this middle-aged man named Wu Li cordially. "Eh, who is this child?" Obviously, the beautiful woman that Hua Zhang had been looking at naturally noticed him.
"Oh, this kid came by himself, I'm afraid that this kid is making a mistake in life events alone, so I'll accompany him in for a test. Wu Li fell back.
"Oh, let the leaders of Wuda personally lead the way, the little handsome guy has a lot of face. Won't you tell us about it?" the woman laughed.
"Well, this is Hua Zhang, a child who is quite self-reliant. This is Chu Wisteria, you can call her Aunt Chu. Wu Li said.
"Aunt Chu is good. Hua Zhang immediately said hello.
"Call me Auntie, am I that old?" Brother Wu" I saw Chu Ziteng shake his shoulders and said coquettishly. But yes, there is almost no woman who doesn't care about her age, and obviously this Aunt Chu is no exception.
"Is it really good to take a child's light? How old are you? Wu Li said with a frown.
"Forget it, Auntie is Auntie, who made us old and decrepit, and our youth is gone. Chu Ziteng said leisurely, and glanced at Hua Zhang by the way.
Suddenly, Hua Zhang felt that the whole person was not good, and immediately changed his words and shouted, "Sister Chu is good!"
"Oh roar, such a small desire to survive is so strong, a good boy has a future, I am optimistic about you. Chu Ziteng couldn't hide his smile and said.
"Okay, Chu Wisteria, you go and see which team is faster, don't be poor, there are still many things to do. As Wu Li spoke, he made a gesture to Chu Ziteng that was difficult for others to detect.
"Okay, I know, the children have talked about this, I'm embarrassed to let you line up, come with me, I can still do it by opening a small back door for you." Wisteria said.
"Follow Wisteria and let him take you. Wu Li said.
"Okay, thank you," Hua Zhang said to Wu Li.
"Come with me, little friend," Wisteria said, leading the way as he led the way.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Wisteria" Hua Zhang hurriedly followed.
"You should call me Auntie, after all, I should be older than your mother, and it is really inappropriate to call me Sister. Wisteria led the way in front and said slowly.
"No, but Aunt Wisteria looks young. Hua Zhang said in surprise. "Auntie is not young anymore, Auntie is almost 50 years old. "What?" "Is Auntie so old?" In fact, what surprised Hua Zhang was not her age, but her strength. Hua Zhang began to work hard at a very young age, whether he studied or missed classes, so he knew that with the improvement of strength, his appearance would also change, but he was almost fifty years old, and his skin was young and he looked like a girl, and he must have extremely high strength to do it. But Hua Zhang was still very cooperative, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Hahaha, your Uncle Wu is over 90 years old, after all, he is a level 76 strong battle master. Wisteria said to Hua Zhang.
"Is Uncle so powerful? I didn't even feel it at all. Hua Zhang was surprised.
"Hahaha, he's our second-in-command here, shouldn't he be a little more powerful?" Chu Ziteng turned back to Hua Zhang and smiled, and said that, walking through the long corridor, Wisteria pointed to a door and said to him. "Hey, this is it, if you go in, someone will naturally arrange a test for you. ”
"Okay, thank you very much. Hua Zhang's small body bowed to Wisteria in a decent manner, looking a little happy. With that, he turned and entered the room.
"Hmm," Wisteria said, and immediately walked to the outer hall, there were some things she wanted to ask him about. Obviously, Wu Li was also waiting for her.
......
The inner hall of the testing center
This is a very spacious hall, which is filled with a testing table, a spirit seat for soul power measurement, and various pointing instruments, but unlike those in the outside world, these instruments are obviously newer and more refined. I saw a young man in a green robe walking towards him and asked, "Is the child wrong, you can't come here?" "The staff in the green robe were very polite, but there were also some surprises.
"No, it was Aunt Wisteria who asked me to come here," Hua Zhang said, looking up.
"It's Mr. Chu who asked you to come, then come on, fill out the form first, and call me after filling it out." With that, the young man brought over an identity registration form.
Outside
"That room has just been opened, won't there be any problems? What are you thinking?" the moment he saw Wu Li, Wisteria said hurriedly.
"You didn't notice, when I first met this child, I felt a strong dark aura, I am a light attribute, and I am very sensitive to dark aura. If this child is born, it must be a dark powerhouse, and its own strength must not be weaker than mine. But if it's not him, then it's troublesome, it means that there is a dark powerhouse in this crowd, and I don't know what his purpose is. Wu Li said solemnly.
"The aura of darkness, I didn't feel it, but he gave me a very strange feeling, because you brought it here personally, I still have some curiosity, so I tested him with mental power, but the strange thing is that I obviously feel that he is a light attribute soul master, but the feeling comes and goes, which makes me doubt his attributes, but this is almost impossible, with the difference in strength between us, I can't feel it, my spirit will not be blocked by a child, but the truth is that I just can't feel it. Wisteria said.
"Yes, it's because this kid has too many doubts that I made an exception to let him use a new machine, if he is really taken away, his dark compatibility should be more than 90%. Be prepared, theoretically there shouldn't be a fork. Wu Li said.
"If he is really taken away, is there any way to save the child himself?" Chu Ziteng asked with some sadness.
"It's almost a zero possibility, I've only seen such a strong dark aura in my life, and I haven't saved anything in my life, and it's only a life attribute revenant master who is less than level 50 that took him away. So I'm very entangled, I hope he is, I don't want him to be, I hope he is because the evil soul master in the crowd will be more dangerous, but if he really is, a young light attribute soul master will be declared dead. Wu Li said helplessly.
"Hey, no way. But if you feel wrong at first, aren't you hurting him? That machine is so powerful that it will cause irreversible damage to him, and his future will be ruined. Wisteria couldn't help but say.
"Wisteria, you have followed me for many years, from you being a girl who has just come of age, to now experiencing strong winds and waves, we have worked together for at least twenty-five years, twenty-five years, have I ever felt wrong? I said, don't be emotional about these revenant soul masters, blood soul masters, and evil soul masters, how many times have we lost our teammates, relatives, and even flesh and blood because of our emotions. How many times did you let go of the enemy because of indecision, causing losses. ”
