Jingchen turned his head to look at Yue Yanran and nodded, "I'll go back when I go." ”

"Well, there must be something wrong with the dean looking for you, you go quickly, Sister Ling Xue protects me, it's okay." As he spoke, he pulled Ling Xue's arm, making Ling Xue stunned.

"Don't worry, if that kid dares to come again, I promise to beat him so much that he doesn't even know his mother. Saying that, Ling Xue crossed her waist, how could she still be bullied by those people in Lionheart Academy.

Jingchen nodded, and quickly followed Uthers, who was walking in front, towards the mentor building.

"Senior, do you know what the dean is looking for me?" Jing Chen wondered, in his impression, he didn't have much contact with this dean, of course, during the time when he was in a coma after the freshman ranking battle, Dean Ling Feng and the dean Yue Zhen accompanied the Great Elder to see him, and he didn't know about it.

"Probably about the God's Backbone Contest. Uther turned his head and replied with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Junior, you have also broken a record in our Zeus Academy, before you, most of the people in charge of the God's Spine Contest were fifth or sixth grade students, and the earliest before you was Senior Tianming, and the first time he took charge was when he was in the third grade. ”

"Senior Tianming?" Jing Chen was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Ouyang Tianming seemed to have said just now that he wanted to teach the core students who participated in the new Divine Backbone Competition.

Uthers thought that Jingchen had never heard of this name to have such doubts, so he explained, "Now that Senior Tianming has been promoted to the inner courtyard, it is normal that you don't know him. ”

Jingchen nodded, and didn't say much, he and Ouyang Tianming were only one-sided, and they really couldn't talk about acquaintance, and the two came to the tutor's building while talking, Uther obviously came here often, nodded to the doorman sitting at the door, and walked straight to the five teleportation ladders.

Standing here again, Jing Chen felt a lot of emotion in his heart, if he hadn't come here to see Mentor Linna last time, he wouldn't have found the fragment, if he hadn't found the fragment, I'm afraid that now he has stayed in the Demon Beast Mountain Range forever, let alone the silver ring on his hand at this moment, and such a wonderful experience, thinking of this, Jing Chen shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his mind.

"Let's go up. Uthers's voice sounded again, Jingchen looked up, only to see Uther pressed the button of the middle teleportation ladder C23, Jingchen secretly said in his heart, it turned out that C23 was the dean's office, when he first came, he had wondered about the purpose of that place, after all, only the middle teleportation ladder had 23 floors.

The two came to the 23rd floor and walked out of the teleportation ladder, Jingchen looked around, only to see that this was an extremely spacious office, facing the position of the teleportation ladder, was a row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunlight shone directly into the office through those floor-to-ceiling windows, the whole office was illuminated brightly and abnormally, but there was no sense of stuffiness, at this moment, there were already a few people sitting at Dean Ling Feng's desk, it seemed that they were only waiting for the two of them.

"You're here. Seeing the two of them come in, Dean Ling Feng smiled slightly.

"Well, Dean, I've brought the person you're looking for. Uther nodded and led Jingchen to Ling Feng's desk.

"It's you?!" Ouyang Tianming's voice came from the side.

Uther was slightly stunned and looked at Ouyang Tianming, "Senior Tianming, do you know?" To say that when Jingchen entered the school, this Ouyang Tianming had already entered the inner courtyard, and I heard that he had been stepping up his cultivation, and he had just broken through the fifth level some time ago, so it stands to reason that the two should not have any intersection.

"I don't know it, it's just that when I came, I happened to see Senior Brother Jingchen teach the star fall of Lionheart Academy, and I just had a relationship. Saying that, Ouyang Tianming looked at Jingchen, "I was thinking about whether to recommend you just now, but now it seems that I don't need it." ”

Jingchen smiled slightly and nodded towards Ouyang Tianming, "Senior Tianming said with a smile. He still has a very good impression of this senior, not only because Ouyang Tianming once helped him, but also because of Ouyang Tianming's boldness.

Ouyang Tianming waved his hand, "Don't talk to me about these useless things, there are not many people I Ouyang Tianming admire, but today I must add you like this, with such strength at your age, don't say it's me, even if you go through thousands of years of mainland history, I'm afraid it's rare, you can be the one who plays the role, I can rest assured." ”

"Brother Tianming, are you exaggerating, he can teach the star of Lionheart Academy a lesson? Now he is afraid that he has the strength of the fourth level high-level, right?" A tall and thin young man on the side frowned slightly, glanced at Jing Chen, and then looked at Ouyang Tianming.

"What? Xiao Lengzi, do you still doubt my words? That Starfall has now reached the peak of the fourth level, maybe it is the person who leads the team of the Lionheart students this time, don't underestimate this kid. Pointing at Jingchen as he spoke, he continued, "He is a true fifth-level powerhouse, one order higher than a few of you. ”

"What?!" Hearing Ouyang Tianming's words, the few students sitting around were all startled, and they cast surprised glances at Jingchen.

"This kid is far from what you can imagine, even I am not sure that I will be able to beat him. Ouyang Tianming seemed to feel that he was not frightened enough for a few people, and dropped a bombshell again.

"How so?"

"Isn't he a druid?"

"Impossible, right?"

Hearing this, the individual reacted differently, but what was shown was a kind of doubt and surprise.

"How impossible, this kid has all kinds of strange methods, don't be fooled by his druid profession, his fierce fighting style, even I am ashamed of myself, if you treat this kid as an ordinary druid, you will definitely suffer a big loss. Ouyang Tianming glanced at the few people around him and said lightly.

"Uh......"

Hearing him say this, several people were stunned, a druid who was even more fierce than Ouyang Tianming's knight fighting style? ! This all of them didn't expect, after all, the current druid is classified as a mage class, and the mage class is a melee alternative class like the magic swordsman is very rare, just like in the warrior class, only archers are suitable for long-range attacks.

"Okay, this Jingchen is the person in charge of this session, it is what Mo Lao meant, don't quarrel. Dean Ling Feng's voice sounded, and when he heard Ouyang Tianming and a few others talk about this Jingchen, Ling Feng's eyes also flashed a trace of surprise, if it was really as Ouyang Tianming said, then this Jingchen's strength was enough to be proud of the entire outer courtyard, after all, even if it was a genius student in this outer courtyard, it was only the peak of the fourth level, and those few fifth-level beginners were all auxiliary professions, which were not very useful for this God's Backbone Competition.

Hearing Dean Ling Feng's words, several people, including Ouyang Tianming, were shocked, a few of them had stayed in the academy for five years, and people such as Ouyang Tianming, Uthers and others had been in this academy for six or seven years, they were all familiar with Ling Feng's previous dean of the academy, but they didn't expect that this Jingchen was actually the person recommended by the old dean.

The eyes of several people looked at Jingchen again, there was some awe in their eyes, and even Ouyang Tianming's gaze at Jingchen changed a little, the old dean, that is a grandmaster-level peak powerhouse, a person who has already stepped into the epic threshold with half a foot, this Jingchen can actually get his old man's recommendation, what is the difference, but unfortunately, Dean Ling Feng didn't say much, and they can't ask.

"Tianming, tell them about the God's Backbone Competition. Ling Feng's words interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Hmm...... Okay, okay!" his thoughts were suddenly interrupted, Ouyang Tianming didn't react for a while, he groaned for a while, Ouyang Tianming said slowly, "Xiaowu, you have all participated in that competition, so I won't say more." Then he turned his head and looked at Jingchen, "Among the people here, you are the only one who has not participated, so I will tell you about this competition." ”

"Sit down. Ling Feng said to Jing Chen.

After the two of them sat down, Ouyang Tianming continued, "This God's Backbone is a very special place, as long as you enter it, you need to withstand all kinds of negative emotions to attack, endlessly, and each academy will send a team to participate in this God's Backbone Competition, of course, our academy has the largest number of people, as long as you want to participate, you can participate, but new students can't." As he spoke, he looked at Jingchen again, and came to participate and take charge of this competition as a freshman, Jingchen may be the first one since the establishment of Zeus Academy.

Seeing that Ouyang Tianming had already told a few people about the general situation, Ling Feng cleared his throat, "Presumably you all know the danger of that god's backbone, so the academy will not force any of you to participate in this competition, it is completely voluntary, if you want to quit now, I will not stop you." After speaking, his eyes calmly swept over a few people, in fact, only Jingchen had not participated, although the others were not all the main forces of the previous session, but they had also participated, and they were already clear about these rules.

After a while, Ling Feng continued, "Since you don't want to quit, I need to explain the rules to you, this time, as in previous editions, you and the teams sent by various academies will be randomly teleported to the central area of the God's Backbone, which is far more dangerous than the periphery, I think you all know." What I want to say is that the teams from other colleges to participate in the competition this time are very strong, so don't fight hard when you encounter them. ”

Ling Feng stared at these students in front of him, these were all the current elites of Zeus Academy, and the loss of one would bring immeasurable losses to the Academy and the Holy Spirit Empire, so he had to talk about it again, not to mention that this time the teams of other academies were indeed as he said, and their strength was not ordinarily strong.

"Very strong?" Ouyang Tianming looked at Dean Ling Feng suspiciously.

Ling Feng nodded slowly, "Very strong." There was a solemnity in his voice.

Hearing the dean's words, everyone was silent for a while, Dean Ling Feng seemed to be thinking about something, his fingers slowly tapped on the table, and the others didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of interrupting Dean Ling Feng's thoughts.

"Jingchen, although I don't know what your strength is, since even Tianming said that you are good, then you are indeed very good, the backbone of the gods is full of danger, the first time you go, you have to be more careful, sometimes you can't believe what you see, you can't even believe what you hear, where the five senses are often confused, you have to pay attention to this. Dean Ling Feng suddenly said to Jing Chen, because Jing Chen was going for the first time, and he was not familiar with the backbone of the Great Land God at all, so he couldn't help but remind him more.

"Well, I will, Dean, don't worry. Jingchen nodded in response, but his heart was shocked, although Mo Lao also said that when entering the backbone of the god, there are evil thoughts attacking people's nerves all the time, but Jingchen still didn't expect that it would be so serious, to the point that Dean Ling Feng had to remind himself specially, and he couldn't help but secretly add a little caution in his heart.

"Alright, that's all for today, before the tournament starts, I'll ask Uther to summon you here for a meeting, now you go back and get some rest and get in shape. As he spoke, Dean Ling Feng waved his hand to let everyone leave, turned his head and said to Ouyang Tianming, "Tianming, you stay for a while." ”

Ouyang Tianming was slightly stunned, and then nodded in response, "Well, okay." ”

Jingchen left the twenty-third floor with everyone, although the other students still looked at Jingchen with a trace of awe and curiosity in their eyes, but they didn't ask anything, just silently walked out of the tutor building, said hello, and left.

Dean's office on the 23rd floor.

"Tianming, what do you think of that young man named Jingchen?" Dean Ling Feng stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes looked at the Jingchen and the others who had left below, and his eyes were staring at Jingchen tightly.

"Very strong. Ouyang Tianming replied, paused, and continued, "It's stronger than most of the people I've seen participate in the God's Spine Competition, even if it's me, I'm afraid I won't necessarily be able to beat him." ”

"Really?" There was a hint of surprise in Ling Feng's tone, although Ouyang Tianming had said the same thing in front of everyone just now, but Ling Feng didn't take it to heart at that time, but now it seems that Ouyang Tianming is not joking.

"Hmm. Ouyang Tianming pondered for a moment and continued, "He has natural magic assistance, and he has attack power that is not inferior to the strong attack class, although my defense may be slightly stronger than him, but in terms of attack power and control, I am really ashamed of myself, and it is far behind." Ouyang Tianming shook his head and said helplessly.

"That Jingchen is so powerful?" Hearing Ouyang Tianming's high evaluation, Ling Feng was also stunned, although he didn't doubt Ouyang Tianming's words, but this time the evaluation he gave was too high, and the other party was just a freshman who had just entered the school.

"Dean, don't underestimate that kid, his strength is definitely not as simple as I see, at the last moment of his fight with that Starfall, he used a skill similar to madness, but that skill only amplified his ability, and did not make him delirious, this is the most terrifying part of it, look at his appearance, that state can not only last for a short time, in my opinion, he can stay in that state for a long time, if it is really as I guessed, then he is really terrifying. ”

After a deep sigh, Ouyang Tianming continued, "Even if you don't talk about this, that Jingchen will also have a sonic attack skill, which I have never seen before, and I can't prevent it." Recalling that Jing Chen kicked and seriously injured Starfall, Ouyang Tianming still had palpitations at the moment.

"Well, I know, you go back first, and take it to your teacher for me. After speaking, he waved his hand, his eyes still stayed on Jingchen, who was gradually walking towards the dormitory, and muttered, "What a surprising child." ”

When Jingchen left the tutor's building, it was already past dinner time, and Jingchen was not hungry, so he went back to his dormitory directly, as soon as he entered the room, Jingchen went straight to the bedroom, closed the door, Jingchen opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Li, do you see us?"

"Let's look at your fragment first, this silver ring is your root. A white light flashed, and Rios appeared beside Jingchen.

"Good. Jingchen nodded, took out the fragment he bought at the Enchanter's Trade Conference from his arms, and slowly brought it to the silver ring, but unfortunately there was no reaction, Jingchen frowned slightly and looked at the ring and fragment on his hand.

"Elder Li, what's going on?" asked already in confusion.

"Last time, it was fused together with your blood, I'm afraid this time it ......" Rios' gaze swept towards Jingchen's wrist.

Jingchen sighed, handed over the two things to Rios's hands, and swiped his right hand on the wrist of his left hand, and blood gushed out in an instant, and the blood sprinkled on the fragment, the fragment seemed to be alive, exuding a faint silver glow, and the silver ring, which had no reaction, also began to shine with a faint silver light.

This time the blood required is much less than last time, just a few seconds, the fragment and the silver ring gradually rose from Rios's hand together, Rios waved his hand, stopped the blood on Jingchen's wrist, at this moment, I saw that the fragment turned into a silver light into the silver ring, instantly, the room lit up with dazzling light, a vicissitudes of life and ancient breath came, Jingchen seemed to return to the ancient battlefield again, but this time the time was too short, Jingchen didn't have time to see the surrounding situation clearly, only felt his body tremble, and woke up.

"Jingchen, are you alright?" Rios' voice came from his ears.

When Jingchen opened his eyes, he saw that he was lying on the bed, and wondered, "Why did I get to the bed?"

"Just now, after the silver ring fused with the fragments, you fell headlong. Rios frowned and said, if it was because of Jingchen's excessive blood loss last time that this kind of fainting occurred, and this time it obviously shouldn't have any impact, why did Jingchen faint again, Rios didn't say this, but he didn't figure it out.

Seeing Rios's concerned gaze, Jing Chen's heart warmed and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

And seeing that Jingchen was really fine, Rios was also relieved, just now Jingchen fell without warning, Rios was indeed taken aback.

"Well, look at this. Saying that, Jingchen saw a flash of silver light, a cold thing had fallen into his hand, opened his palm and took a closer look, it was his own silver ring, but the silver ring at the moment was slightly different, only to see that a very light pattern appeared on the silver ring, the pattern was nothing at first glance, but when Jingchen looked carefully, he found that the circle of patterns was very blurry anyway, no matter how hard he tried to see, he just couldn't see clearly, after a long time, he suddenly felt that his head sank, and he almost fell on the bed again.

Rios grabbed Jingchen and asked lightly, "Do you see anything different?"

"There's something weird about it. Jingchen wondered, if it wasn't for the problem with this pattern, even if he couldn't see it clearly, he shouldn't have such a big reaction.

"Hmm. Rios nodded and continued, "This pattern doesn't seem to be as simple as a pattern, but I can't even see this thing clearly, I don't know what it does, you can take it first, and then study it slowly." ”

What even Rios couldn't understand, Jingchen naturally wouldn't force it, and then raised his head to look at Rios, "Teacher, what should we do now?"

"Let the Pillar of the Wild confess the Lord, and you should have a weapon at your disposal. Rios said lightly.

The second time it was fused together with your blood, I'm afraid this time it ......" Rios' gaze swept towards Jingchen's wrist.

Jingchen sighed, handed over the two things to Rios's hands, and swiped his right hand on the wrist of his left hand, and blood gushed out in an instant, and the blood sprinkled on the fragment, the fragment seemed to be alive, exuding a faint silver glow, and the silver ring, which had no reaction, also began to shine with a faint silver light.
