Chapter 123: News 1
There is a saying that the spring breeze is like the eyes of a lover, gently crossing every inch of exposed skin, warm and real.
So the girls wore short dresses early, showed their youthful and wonderful figure without hesitation, enjoyed the beauty of time, and said goodbye to the bloated ones that had passed the winter.
There is also a saying that spring is the season when males are in estrus and when females are rippling. So, although the library was quiet as usual, the heat in the air could be felt even by the dullest people, and then looking at the eyes of the boys who stayed on the laps of the girls far more than on the books, everything was already in plain sight.
In this somewhat restless atmosphere, Xin Yuan sat alone on the chair by the window, calmly flipping through the books and recording a few strokes from time to time, looking like an excellent student who was working hard to read the materials and write a thesis.
As the bell rang for the end of school, the library suddenly became a little lively, and many students packed up their things and began to leave the library.
Xin Yuan put down the pen and closed the cap.
In front of him was a very thick tome, a palm's width thick, and looked like a large brick. In the eyes of the other students, this was a boring book of classical philosophical thought, but in Xin Yuan's eyes, a layer of fluctuations that could not be seen by ordinary people quietly spread from the faceless watch in his hand to the entire book, attached to the pages, making him see something completely unrelated to the book.
Since breaking the stronghold of the Ash Order, the Mingyi Society has taken this opportunity to completely establish its dominance in the local area, and has recovered many of the rights that were originally lost, and there is an example of the collapse of the Wang family in the past, and the local forces that originally divided the rights and interests of the Mingyi Society have expressed their recognition of the dominance of the Mingyi Society, and it can be said that the situation is very good.
In this case, he returned to his current state of life - going to school, going home, and sometimes participating in club activities, no different from most of the students around him.
Of course, this is only on the surface, and now his identity is more complicated. Not to mention the two false identities that the society gave him - all assets and social relationships are real except for real people, and he also has the identity of a member of the hidden organization of the Faceless, which makes him very careful when he wants to use the Faceless relationship. For example, now he usually only uses the method in front of him to connect to the Faceless's lair system, and the whole human spirit entry method is not used much unless necessary, and of course, the corresponding functions that can be used are also greatly simplified.
Controlling the source fire to resonate with the Faceless Watch at a characteristic frequency, covering a medium such as a book, is able to produce content that only he can see. It is very tiring to maintain this state for a long time, and the consumption of oneself is also very large, once there is a big fluctuation, it will cause failure, and it will have a certain impact on the mental level, and there will be a certain amount of damage to oneself, so the action is as small as possible, and quiet behavior like reading is more suitable. However, this state is also a kind of exercise for itself, which can play a good role in sharpening the spirit and source fire, and the effect is also very significant.
During this time, he has been supplementing the information about the hidden world in this way, and Lisa's team database is very complete, saving him a lot of effort to find information.
After this period of recharging, his original lack of knowledge of the hidden world has been compensated for a lot, and he has a better idea of how to heal his injuries.
According to some of the materials left by Lisa, in fact, after reaching the D-class, there are no effective teaching materials or anything like that to improve, even if the same kind of transmission is in circulation, everyone's source fire structure is born according to their own past experience and training, and they are all unique. It's just that there are always similarities in the same lineage for reference, and the so-called D-level secret art is more of an adaptive improvement made by the ancestors according to the original lower-level E-level secret art to meet the needs of advancing to the D-level, and it is of little use to people who are not of the same lineage.
In this situation, in fact, everyone is groping their own way, but some can vaguely see the lights in front of them and know which direction they will go roughly, while others have dark eyes and can only slowly explore by themselves.
And Xin Yuan is the latter.
So he didn't have much hope in terms of arcane arts in a short period of time, but he did find several drugs in the list of materials in the nest system that could control his energy skew and pollute his injuries due to the destruction of the structure. It's just that the production of this kind of drug is very small, and the frequency of occurrence is also very low, so there is no stock in the internal market at all, and it can only depend on luck if you want to get it, so he can only hang the purchase order and wait.
In addition to his own injuries, another part of his energy is focused on King Theodon's mask and related information. Up to now, the two runes provided by the Rune Stone, one of which came with it and the other that were given by the Stone Ghost Mask, had brought him very great benefits, and they were also the biggest contributors to his ability to grow to this level so quickly. Now if he wants to make his strength go further in a short period of time, it is unlikely that he will be able to make a breakthrough in the source fire structure, so the only breakthrough is in the runes, so he released information about the mask of King Theodon through the lair system, hoping to make some progress - according to the purpose of the Faceless Organization, this kind of search for ancient items and knowledge is the best and most effective.
"President, the martial arts club has an event tonight, are you going?" Jiang Junchi didn't know where to come from.
Now Xin Yuan's prestige in the martial arts club is getting bigger and bigger, especially Boya and Lin Lijia have participated in club activities sporadically a few times, and the strength they show is terrifying, easily defeating the original members of the club with similar rankings, showing more than one level of strength, and even in several school-level fighting championships, he has cleared the level alone, and the representatives of other schools can't find the north, and he has helped Xishan Academy to grab the first place in the city's fighting rankings.
You must know that it has only been two or three months since Boya and Lin Lijia trained secretly with Xin Yuan, and the others are not without progress, but they are still left so far behind, and the gap is so big, which makes the members of the club marvel at the progress of Boya and Lin Lijia, but also have more reverence and even awe for Xin Yuan, who created all this, and even Jiang Junchi does not dare to call Xin Yuan's name anymore, and they all use honorific titles like president instead.
In the current situation, Xin Yuan has become a legend on campus, covered with a veil of mystery.
"I won't go today, you and Lehong will preside over it." Xin Yuan closed the book and put it in his school bag. Now he only goes to the martial arts club once or twice a month, and it is enough to have Jiang Junchi and Le Hong in normal times.
"What about Boya and Linliga?"
"Senior Sister Boya and Senior Brother Lin left after school." Jiang Junchi replied softly.
"Well, I see." Xin Yuan nodded. Like him, Boya and Linliga went to the club less often, and their relationships with other people gradually became estranged. This is the change after the level, the distance caused by the difference in the level.
"Then I'll go first."
"Well, go ahead." Xin Yuan replied.
Watching Jiang Junchi hurriedly walk away, he could clearly feel the sense of alienation caused by the class gap, and then recalled that no student dared to get too close to him in the afternoon, and made a vacuum circle around him, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy about this.
In this life, he originally wanted to live a peaceful and plain life, but when he couldn't hold back his desire to take that step, everything could never return to the original trajectory. Now although he tries to maintain a balance between the two worlds, no matter how he fights and cultivates in secret, he has to maintain his original life in the real society, but in fact, no matter what he does, what he has changed is changed, and he will not return to the past.
Just like the situation in front of him, why didn't the students dare to approach him? Maybe they can't tell the reason themselves, but in fact, they are instinctively avoiding Xin Yuan. It's like seeing a beast without cage chains staying there, even if there is no dangerous move, normal people will avoid it when they see it, this is an instinctive reaction. Xin Yuan is this beast now, although these students can't see it, their life instinct warns them to stay away from Xin Yuan, once they get close, there will be danger.
This is the gap in the level of life.
He could feel that as he continued to improve, such an ordinary life was not far from over.
And Boya and Lin Lijia, as well as Shi Man and Xie Xiaoruo are also on this road.
Feeling emotional, he began to pack up his stationery and books. Suddenly, his hand froze, a faint luster flashed in his eyes, and the original melancholy dissipated in an instant.
On a spiritual level, the red dot representing the Faceless Watch is flashing rapidly, clearly and distinctly.
