Ahem! With such a warm gaze, Lin Li inexplicably felt a little shy, and coughed lightly.

Only then did the two of them react, wiped the corners of their mouths without traces, and their expressions returned to normal in an instant, and they smiled shyly: "Classmate Lin Li, can we join you?" ”

Lin Li nodded and smiled: "Of course you can!" ”

The two quietly exchanged palms and gave a small cheer, and Jiao Ni asked with big watery eyes: "If you can, please please take us for a ride when you go back tomorrow, is it okay?" ”

Lin Li nodded expressionlessly, her heart twitched non-stop, and in the end she was very weak, forget it, she still pretended not to see it.

Jiao Ni and Sally glanced at each other, and walked next to Lin Li with watery eyes, and the little joy couldn't escape the eyes of anyone who saw it.

They had just taken a step when suddenly, there was a "boom" sound behind them, as if a large wave was running over.

Lin Li turned his head a little suspiciously, with a slight black line, looked at the group of shiny and watery eyes that suddenly appeared behind him, and said tentatively with some pressure: "Everyone is also together?" ”

Although dozens of people looked more or less restrained, they nodded in unison, the corners of Lin Li's eyebrows twitched, squeezed out a smile and nodded at them, and walked forward.

As soon as he took a step, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and Lin Li met the pair of blue and black eyes. Lin Li didn't need to ask again this time, the meaning was obvious, he raised his arm, and another person joined their team.

This group of girls is extremely spectacular, and they have all packed up, and the uniforms they wear are extremely fast, not as embarrassed as before, and they have attracted countless lights along the way.

Originally, most of them didn't know each other, and they were a little restrained, but they quickly became familiar with each other while talking.

When it got dark, they were a little sullen. Is it true that you want to sleep outside? This is a scary thing for girls who haven't experienced much.

Lin Li had also recovered a little in such an abundant environment as the elements, but she also knew that it was completely impossible to carry so many people to the other side of the lake.

Although they knew that there was no hope, the girls subconsciously turned back to the nameless lake to take a look.

I didn't think about it, but I saw a big surprise!

The nameless lake is full of all kinds of small boats coming and going, and from time to time, new students are greeted with a smile and rowed to the opposite side.

And these boatmen. There were men and women, and the clothes they wore were also of various shapes, but they still saw some of the uniforms they were wearing, the same uniforms as theirs, except that there were one or two more golden lines on the neckline, and even four students with gold lines.

It's the second, third, and fourth graders!

The girls almost cheered, and then recalled the tone of Teacher Mo Wei at that time, and muttered secretly in their hearts, could it be a cold joke told by the blackface teacher.

But at this time, no one cares about thinking so much. Being able to return to the apartment safely and securely has already occupied all their minds.

Seeing such a group of young and beautiful girls, suddenly a bunch of small boats rowed over at a very fast speed, and the boatmen put on various handsome poses to invite the girls to board.

Several freshmen who were ruthlessly abandoned shrugged their shoulders when they saw this, but they were secretly envious in their hearts. If only they could be so handsome.

After thanking the girls, they got on the boat one by one, but the third-grade seniors could carry three to five people, and the second-grade seniors could only carry two or three people.

Lin Li and Jonisa sat in a small boat. The boat carrying the boy next to it even raced, and the speed was so fast that it was almost a blink of an eye to the other side of the lake. I just don't know how the freshmen sitting on the boat feel, so I silently light a candle for them.

On the other hand, the boat carrying the girls was much more stable, and there were no other boats to provoke the competition.

Lin Li looked at the two boats that deliberately collided together and capsized, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, is this manned, or is it playing overboard.

But fortunately, before falling into the water, they seemed to have expected it, and rushed to the other side with the people.

Looking at the lake around him, Lin Li sighed slightly and laughed secretly, but presumably, this must be a different kind of enjoyment for new students.

When he arrived in the middle of the lake, Lin Li even saw several seniors from the previous freshman reception standing on several boats rowing over, and they greeted each other.

Lin Li asked the senior of the ship curiously: "Senior, is this your own organization?" ”

The darkened boy standing at the bow of the boat had slightly red cheeks, nodded and said, "Sort of, in fact, this is a tradition of our Ability Academy, because most of the new students can't cross the river by themselves, so we old students will take the initiative to be boatmen in the first month of school, and after a month, it's up to you." ”

Only then did he turn his head, with a sincere smile on his face, raised his fist, and said, "So, you must come on!" ”

All three nodded in unison and thanked him.

The boy said with some concern: "If you can't go back and forth every day after a month, even if you are ridiculed, you must not take that wooden bridge." ”

The three of them suddenly wondered why, and looked at this very kind senior together.

The boy lowered his head slightly, seemed to be a little shy, covered his lips with his hand, and whispered: "You don't know, among our old students, we all call that wooden bridge the Bridge of Shame!" ”

Lin Li was suddenly shocked, and she instantly remembered what she saw in the video, and some people walked on the wooden bridge.

He explained in a low voice: "I don't know where this came about, but this bridge of shame has been circulating among students for hundreds of years, and it seems that in the past, if the strength was not enough, it could be passed through the wooden bridge, but later because of the change of meaning, it became an existence that everyone avoided." ”

"You freshmen may not know that when someone walks on the bridge of shame, it is tantamount to admitting that you are weak. Therefore, you should be careful, it is very likely that if you don't deal with some old students, they will trick you into walking the bridge of shame, which is equivalent to directly branding yourself as a weakling, and it will be very uncomfortable at that time. ”

"Maybe originally. The Bridge of Shame is to motivate students to have such a saying, but the strong are respected, no one will be willing to admit that they are weak, and gradually become extreme, and they will also despise those who walk the Bridge of Shame, and later, no matter whether they have enough ability, they will not go to the Bridge of Shame, otherwise they will be looked down upon. ”

He looked at Lin Li and the three of them with a somewhat confused appearance, and said with a rare and solemn expression: "You girls may not pay attention to strength. But since you are in this environment, you can't avoid it, try to be self-reliant. There have been many students who just couldn't stand it, or transferred or suspended their studies. ”

Lin Li was confused before, he didn't understand why crossing the wooden bridge was to admit that he was a weak, this was too extreme, although he urged the students' cultivation in disguise, but as long as he walked on the bridge, he was a weak person, and he would be looked down upon. It's incredible.

She frowned and asked slowly, "Senior, you said earlier that the deceived person walked on the bridge of shame, and the result was the same?" ”

The boy smiled wryly and nodded. He said in a low voice: "So, I feel that this has deviated from the original expectations, and some people even use this to humiliate others, I really don't think it's okay." ”

The last sound was barely audible. However, Lin Li still heard it, and it seemed that the senior seemed to have some opinions.

She continued: "Is it possible that everyone who walks on the bridge of shame will be looked down upon, I can't see it. If you are extremely powerful, you may not care about these things at all. ”

The boy was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lin Li appreciatively, and said, "That's true, but the Bridge of Shame already means this in the eyes of most students." If the strong take the bridge of shame, others dare not laugh and ridicule, but it can be regarded as a stain that is not big or small. ”

Lin Li said with a smile: "It seems that it still varies from person to person, but in fact, it's nothing, what if you walk through the bridge of shame once, what achievements people should have, what should be looked up to, in the end, people still have to look up to it, and it will not change because of such a time." ”

Jiao Ni and Sally looked at Lin Li with glowing eyes, so confident and charming!

Lin Li said: "However, it is also extremely appropriate to use the Shame Bridge as a warning to urge yourself to move forward, and it is not contradictory to cross the lake without a wooden bridge." ”

Jonny and Sally nodded violently, and the boy was also thoughtful, and after pondering, he smiled with relief: "It's also that I thought wrong, the bridge itself is not interesting, or it lies in the people themselves, as long as you put the bridge of shame in your heart and urge yourself often, as for the external one, you don't have to care, even if you have been on the bridge of shame, everything will not be wiped out because of this!" ”

Seeing that the boy seemed to be suddenly enlightened, Lin Li said lightly: "Walking the bridge of shame has become a real shame, and that is just the demanding request of the weak." But it looks like it's a joke! ”

The boy's eyes lit up, a smile flashed on his face as he nodded, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Speaking of which, it's really ......."

Lin Li had already pulled two red-faced and shiny guys to the ground, their boat was relatively slow because of the previous conversation, and the other classmates were already waiting for them, so they walked forward quickly, waved their hands and shouted: "Senior, thank you, goodbye!" ”

The boy only replied, looking at the back of the three of them leaving with a little regret, he originally wanted to make a friend, but they were all in the same academy anyway, and they would meet sooner or later.

As Jonny and Sally walked, they finally came to their senses and suddenly remembered what their seniors had said before.

Dozens of people were sitting on the campus bus, Lin Li, Jiao Ni and Sally had already told the other students what the seniors had said before, everyone was a little sullen, the malice of this bridge of shame was too great, especially when I saw the freshmen of the same period being deceived before, I couldn't help but worry about myself.

The three of them sat side by side, and Jiao Ni hesitated and said, "Since that wooden bridge is a bridge of shame, what should those freshmen who walked through it do!" ”

Sally silently added, "They must have been deceived. ”

With a slight pity on her face, Jiao Ni said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with our own efforts like us, the academy specially arranged a thick fog on the nameless lake, and it is far away, so it must not let us find out that there is a bridge, they also listened to the words of others and ran to cross the bridge......"

The faces of the two were a little complicated, they didn't have to think about it at all, they knew that there was a shame bridge It must be the old students, or maybe it was the old students who were related to the new students, it was really a little frightening to pit them like this.

Moreover, the number of new students who have been cheated is actually not much. It only occupies a very small percentage of all the new students, but compared to the examples of all the old students who have been on the bridge of shame, more than twenty people are not a few.

Even if they all knew it, they didn't think it was a thing, but they couldn't stand whether this person with ulterior motives would create any trouble, after all, there were many people who still had to pick bones in the egg. Just thinking about it, they knew that those people were afraid that they would encounter some difficulties later.

Lin Li nodded and said: "It's also that they are lucky, they feel that they are the smartest, they have taken a shortcut, and they will not be affected." It's up to you. ”

Seeing that the faces of the two were still a little strange, Lin Li comforted: "After all, we are freshmen, and we don't know the meaning of this, besides, such a tough one has to be put on someone else's head, everyone knows what the real situation is like, and there will not be too many people who deceive themselves." ”

The two of them quickly became happy again, which made the corners of Lin Li's mouth twitch slightly, they are really two guys with big hearts.

After arriving at the girls' apartment area. The three of them are in the same college, although they are different departments, but they are still relatively close, and they get to know each other's doors. In order to make it easier to visit later.

Lin Li returned to the apartment, feeling tired for the first time.

She told Lan Ling about the Bridge of Shame, and Lan Ling wiped the hot towel over her face, her eyebrows and eyes soft.

"I also know this bridge of shame. It also has a role, at least for now, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Otherwise, the academy would have banned this kind of statement a long time ago. ”

Lin Li's originally somewhat drowsy mind instantly sobered up, and he immediately sat upright, which means that the academy actually knew this statement, but it didn't recognize it on the surface, but let the students below pass it on.

She looked at Lan Ling with a serious expression and asked, "Do you also think that the existence of the Bridge of Shame is necessary?" ”

Lan Ling smiled and nodded, and his subordinates wiped her face again mercilessly, and said: "Of course, this society is like this, the strong are respected, and no one wants to be the weak. Under such pressure, the students who can support it, you can check, are definitely very potential talents. Moreover, since the bridge of shame, none of the students who graduated from the Academy of Extraordinary Ability are mediocre, and the effect is enough to prove it. ”

Lin Li said in a sullen voice: "What about the injuries they have suffered, as well as those students who have transferred and suspended their studies because of this?" ”

Lan Ling meticulously smeared a homemade fruit mask on Lin Li's face, and asked with a smile, "If it were you, would you care about what others say and think?" ”

Lin Li said confidently: "Of course not, if you care about the opinions of irrelevant people, it will be a joke!" ”

As she spoke, she almost bit her tongue, so the damage or something really varies from person to person, and if you don't care at all, there will be no harm.

The corners of Lan Ling's mouth curved, and he said, "Therefore, the students who stay behind and endure the so-called 'shame', even if they are not talented, are all people with strong hearts, and they are also the talents that the academy is willing to cultivate that the empire needs." And those who can't bear it, leaving is not a better choice for them. ”

Lin Li thought about it, and suddenly felt that what Lan Ling said was indeed right, maybe the original meaning of the Bridge of Shame had been misinterpreted to the point of being very malicious, but its original effect was still working, and even more brutally screened, it also played an incentive role that could not be ignored.

If so, the Bridge of Shame does not have the meaning it has now, but I am afraid that the entire level of the students of the academy will also drop a lot.

After all, crossing the lake at more than 2,000 meters and wanting to cross it beautifully and easily is equivalent to exercising students in disguise on a regular basis, and only by improving their abilities can they do it.

The Bridge of Shame is a very powerful pressure that forces the students to reach at least one basic level in the academy, but this basic level is already far higher than that of the supernatural outside. When one's starting point is already higher than others, and there are such good conditions, coupled with the threat of a lingering shadow, why worry about unproductive talents.

Although Lin Li doesn't like this way, he has to admit that at least for now, the positive role it plays is still huge.

However, she didn't care about this anyway, and of course she didn't expect that in the near future, she would create a record that she couldn't laugh or cry against.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Li returned to the room, first boarded the star network to thank Yang Nan greatly, and then told his experience of today's day, and got a lot of experience and guidance. Then he arrived at the Red Star Martial Arts Gym, and was beaten by Coach Hansen without saying a word, and continued to repeat the previous words, and was nagged again with all kinds of careful and crushing methods.

After all this is over. It was already twelve o'clock, and Lin Li even felt that he had a feeling of dry mouth.

Although the five senses can be simulated on the star network, this thirsty state is completely absent, maybe it's a psychological effect, embarrassment.

Before going to bed, Lin Li expressed her thoughts to the phantom mirror in a small way.

Lin Li really wanted to stay in the Academy of Abilities and not leave, the environment on this side of the apartment and the academy was completely the same as one heaven and one place, if she cultivated in the academy, she would definitely enter the realm quickly, and she would be a little excited to think about it. If it weren't for Lan Ling being in the apartment, she really wouldn't have planned to come back. However, it has been decided that I will stay in the academy during the day and return to the apartment at night.

However, the Phantom Mirror directly gave her a slap in the face, which startled Lin Li.

"What did you say!" Lin Li asked with some horror.

There seemed to be pity in the voice of the Illusory Mirror, but it was rare to say to Lin Li in a good voice: "I mean you'd better focus more on telekinesis, if telekinesis can be upgraded to level 4, you can detect changes in your abilities in advance, and you can even control it for a while." Otherwise, when you're not paying attention. The sudden change in ability is really distressing. ”

Lin Li covered his head with the quilt and took a long time to digest what the Phantom Mirror said.

The Illusory Mirror says that her abilities aren't stable. He doesn't know how the specific instability will manifest, and the worst possibility is that it will suddenly disappear, and then suddenly reappear again at some point. The only solution is to cultivate to the fifth level of ability. And by the time it reaches the fourth level, it can already be controlled autonomously.

However, Lin Li roared in her heart, she was only a first-level powerhouse now. From level 1 to level 5, it is the standard for graduation.

In other words, normally speaking, those who can graduate normally within five years are at least level 5 ability, and even those who have been studying for six or seven years are also very many.

And she doesn't even know what her ability change will become, and it is difficult for her to know whether this change will affect her cultivation, but if she looks at it, it will definitely delay the process of ability cultivation, so it will be even more difficult to reach level five, forget it, or level four.

Then, there is only one other way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and Lin Li is almost about to cry. Increasing your telekinesis to level 4 will allow you to control the changes in your abilities, or at least have time to prepare.

Lin Li lifted the quilt and said hatefully: "Why did I have this situation!" Could it be because of the imprisoning of the potion? ”

She actually knew that it was definitely not the reason for the imprisoning of the potion, but she was not so frightened, but she was afraid that the Phantom Mirror would not tell the reason, so she would be kept in the dark in such a daze.

The Illusory Mirror chuckled, sensing that Lin Li was in a very uneasy mood at this time, and he also had some understanding, but he didn't want her to be angry with him.

"How is that possible! The effects of the Imprisonment Potion have long since been lifted, and your ability is unstable for another reason. ”

"What is the reason?" Lin Li asked a little anxiously.

"I can only perceive the surface, because the energy is unstable, and I can detect that your abilities seem to change at any time, as if they are always in conflict with something. ”

Lin Li didn't say a word, he sat cross-legged, and probed his mental power into the dantian, and the strange energy was turning, looking good.

It's just that the next moment, her face changed slightly, the alien energy suddenly disappeared, and the color seemed to change slightly, and the surrounding elements seemed to have some turmoil around the alien energy, which was very uncalm.

This is the energy instability mentioned by the Phantom Mirror.

Lin Li was a little disheartened, she had seen it with her own eyes, what was the unknown change, she could only hope that it was not that the ability suddenly disappeared, even if it was weakened or unable to absorb the element, it was much stronger than disappearing.

The Phantom Mirror could also sense Lin Li's mood and comforted: "The ability will change, and it is also because your level is too low and too weak at this time, it is not an unsolvable problem. I promise, by the time you're level five, there will be no more problems with the ability. ”

Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt that the future was a little bright! (To be continued......)
