The Devil's Trail Reappears Chapter 35: Life is like a play
I was so gifted that at the age of eight I reached the ninth star of the mage.
Not only that, but I'm also an Inhuman with the "Power of Thought", and I'm in the top 10 on the Inhuman list.
While others were still worried about meeting the threshold for admission to full-time colleges, I was already admitted early.
In the freshman competition, I won all the way, even if it was the last champion, it couldn't stop me at all.
Although it has always been stipulated that the champion of the freshman tournament will be a disciple of the dean, I did not.
In my opinion, the dean's disciples are still easily defeated by me, and I know that the most powerful person in the academy is not the dean, but the great elder who is revered by the whole academy.
That mysterious guy wrapped in a wide robe, whose face no one could recognize, if anyone had to teach me how to cultivate, would be this kind of person.
Only a true genius has the capital to negotiate, and I happen to be.
Given my demands, given my talent, even the academy had to compromise.
In the end, the runner-up of the freshman competition became the dean's disciple, and I successfully worshipped the Great Elder as a teacher.
With the cultivation of the Nine-Star Mage, coupled with the "Power of Thought", I am already more powerful than most people in the academy, even some of the elders, they are not my opponents.
In the academy, I was the object of longing by the other students, and outside, I was also feared.
But in front of the Great Elder, I could deeply feel the insignificance of my own power.
Every time I fought against the guide, I was beaten up by him, and even if I tried my best, I couldn't help him.
It's so infuriating, that bad old man, he didn't even spare his hand when he beat me!
Yes, the most mysterious Grand Elder of the Academy was actually just a bad old man, he was wrapped in a wide robe, just to prevent outsiders from seeing his sloppy appearance.
What's even more infuriating is that in addition to the battle guidance, I have changed countless lines and colors of cultivation methods, and my cultivation has still not improved.
"Your talent is extraordinary, but your mentality of being the first is ...... hinders your progress!" the bad old man, always said.
What does it mean to be obsessed with being the first? I am the number one! In the past, I could cultivate and grow casually, but now I am still wrong in cultivating hard? I blame me for not being able to teach? I secretly retorted in my heart.
......
Two years have passed in a hurry, and I am ten years old.
The students who were crushed by me in the past have all increased their cultivation.
Especially the student who was accepted as a disciple by the dean has progressed from six stars to eight stars, and the runner-up who was once crushed by me is about to catch up with me at this moment!
Because of me, there is still no breakthrough.
Yes, in two years, I have not made any progress, my talent, my ability, has gradually been questioned by all walks of life in the academy, except for that bad old man, he still said the same sentence - your talent is outstanding, but your mentality of obsessing with being the first...... hindering your progress!
Finally, I couldn't help it, and broke out the question that I had been holding in my heart for a long time: Do you know how to teach?
I thought he was going to get angry, he was going to retort, he was going to show at least a little bit of anger or rebuttal.
However, he did not ......
He just grinned indifferently at my angry questioning, "You see that I have only cultivated to this level at this age, and I am not a gift, nor am I a 'stranger', how do I know how to teach you the right medicine?"
It turns out that everything is a scam!
He didn't even want to teach me!
For a moment, I even regretted why I didn't choose to be the dean's disciple in the first place.
At this point, there is no room for re-election, and my pride does not allow me to do so.
I was so angry that I couldn't say a word, and even wanted to kill him to vent my anger, but I knew that I, who had not made progress in cultivation so far, was now doing something to him, and the result was just a fat beating by him.
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!
......
The history of the full-time college is unknown, but it is known that it is extremely old.
I learned that there are still some hidden secrets in the full-time academy that have not yet been discovered by outsiders.
With the mentality of being able to break through the cultivation with some adventures, so as to find that bad old man to vent his anger, I sneaked into those so-called hidden places one by one.
However, without exception, those places were only artificially forbidden places by the academy, and although the students were unattainable, they were born with infinite conjectures, and then through word of mouth, they gradually rumored it, but in fact it was just mediocre.
I'm not reconciled......
I came to the last place, the so-called secret place, the ninth basement floor of the full-time college library.
There is nothing strange from the first to the eighth floor, almost no different from the ninth floor on the ground, but there are a vast sea of books, although there are many strange and strange ambitions, but for me, who is already nine stars, it is not helpful.
Sure enough, this library pavilion is also only a forbidden place that has been rumored.
I was tired of it, and I was about to leave, but I made my way to the ninth level underground.
Finally, instead of the usual stacking of books, the ninth underground floor was empty, and in the center of it, a magical door that exuded a mysterious aura stood quietly, and the quaint and illegible words were engraved on it.
I had a vague feeling that my chance was coming!
The nearly lost texts did not bother me, and I spent a month searching the first to eighth floors of the Library Pavilion, and finally found a way to identify them.
It turned out that the academy had hidden the ancient books that had deciphered the text in those books on the first to eighth floors of the basement, and the real secret was this magical door that exuded a mysterious aura - it was a portal, and no one knew exactly where it led, but I subconsciously told me that there must be a great chance hidden in it. Moreover, even if there is any scourge in it, with my current strength, I can subdue it! If I take 10,000 steps back, I can retreat with my whole body!
In order to hide from others, I chose to operate late at night, and no one knew about it, and no one noticed.
Trembling and excited, I pronounced the words engraved on the portal.
A terrifying and powerful aura overflowed from the portal, and I opened my arms to my success.
However, it was my worst thoughts!
What happened was not a great chance, but ......
It's it! It's outโit's a demon!
Compared to his cultivation of my nine stars, it is simply a mayfly shaking tree!
Can't overcome, can't escape!
I'm going to die here!
At the last moment, he arrived, that bad old man, the great elder of the full-time academy. He came in such a hurry that he didn't even wear his wide robe.
There was no accusation, no questioning, just a faint sentence, "Go and heal...... the bad old man fought with the real demon.
They fought fiercely underground in the Library Pavilion, but I could only watch from afar.
Soon, a figure with a golden bead hanging on his head, holding a long sword, and covered in golden aura joined the battle, it was the best friend of the bad old man, the supreme of the royal family, and the existence with the responsibility of eliminating demons and guarding the way!
"Keep fighting...... The whole area will be destroyed!" the bad old man shouted, "that will hurt more students!"
The two of them, the Grand Elder of the full-time academy and the supreme of the imperial family, shocked the true demon and carried him away from the academy.
Only the old man's voice was still echoing in his ears, "Go and heal......"
Heal? Heal what wounds? You yourself arrived in time to save me, and immediately fought the real demons, where did I get hurt? How could I get hurt? I just watched from afar.
I left, stumbled, stumbled, and left the full-time college.
......
The world is vast, infinitely wide, but I can't find a place to stay.
I wandered around, disheartened and mentally numb.
Passers-by ridiculed me for being a beggar and a madman, insulting and beating me at will, but I couldn't raise the slightest bit of the mentality to use my cultivation to resist.
The most ridiculous thing is that my cultivation has increased when I am most depressed and least concerned, and I have reached the Holy Star!
Half a year passed, and before I knew it, I was back at the full-time college, back to the place where the bad old man lived, where he guided me.
The dust was piled up, no one cleaned it, and the bad old man never came back from the day he left.
At this time, the academy has become a mess because of the disappearance of the Great Elder!
No one knew that the true demon was released by me, and no one knew that the great elder of the bad old man left with the true demon in order to save the students.
On the table of the bad old man, there are his notes, usually mysterious and secret, but they are directly placed on the table, and they are not even closed, and layers of dust accumulate on them.
In order to save me, I rushed to the ninth basement floor of the library in a hurry, so I didn't have time to close it?
Dusting off the dust, the thick notes, opened one by one, and the contents were densely filled inside.
......
"The role of the Battle Guide is minimal......"
"He's still too persistent, I have to change the guidance method......"
"Meditation training is worth trying......"
"I haven't made any progress, and I guess he's more anxious than me now......"
"Hey, old man, come on, you're the most powerful person in the whole hospital, and you can't guide him......"
"It's hard to change his mentality, so he has to try new methods......"
"It's time for a different training model......"
"There should be new guidance......"
โ...... New ......"
......
It turns out that everything is a scam!
He has been working hard for my cultivation and improvement!
And he already knew the way - your talent is extraordinary, but your obsession with being the first is ...... hindering your progress!
All along, it was only myself who was opposed, so when I put aside all my wanderings, my cultivation increased.
In the ridiculous life, the true demon did not appear again, he and the royal supreme did not come back, and I should pursue them.
I sat in the corner, dagger in my hand, ready to plunge into my chest, I had no intention of falling in love.
Outside, there were bursts of noisy and chaotic sounds, and without the Great Elder, the spiritual pillar of the academy had also fallen!
The wide robe hung on the wall in front of me, as if his figure was still there.
I think I know what I do.
......
The ninth basement floor of the Library Pavilion, my new abode, I will be waiting here, waiting for the full-time college!
My name is Nian Yi, and I am the Grand Elder of the full-time college!
......
