Volume 3 Adventure in the Neutral Zone Chapter 21: The Truth About the Ghost Class (4)
"I seem to know what's going on. Yang Haohui said.
"yes, yes, it's a long but not complicated story. I kissed him uncontrollably and gave myself to him that night. I'm lucky that Chiki loves me too. In fact, he had the strength to defeat me half a year ago, and he deliberately lost to me for half a year because he wanted to see me. β
"But after the body is broken, there is a problem with the absolute inheritance, isn't it?" the stories were completely connected, and Yang Haohui sighed.
"Yes, my sister was furious when she found out. In order to pass on the lineage, the Yajin Palace will select the 'Five Laws', that is, five talented girls, at the time of each new Otohime's succession, and select the best of them as the next successor. Because of the absolute inheritance, these girls will stay away from men from an early age, maintain a virgin body, and abandon the seven emotions and six desires. I'm the next successor, and I have the talent to inherit power, but I didn't do it without being moved. β
"I think the story is a bit of a clichΓ©, but....... Not bad. Yang Haohui said.
"My sister ordered to kill Qianji, and I desperately blocked it. Tell my sister that even if there is no absolute inheritor, he can become very strong, I love Qianji and hope that my sister can let him go. But my sister didn't follow me, it was she who taught me, and she was far more convinced than I was of the power of inheritance, that is, 'talent'. But my sister loves me after all, and she can't stand me from being forced to die, so she lets us go. But at the same time, it was agreed that within fifty years, we would prove to her that we could surpass the power of the Absolute Inheritance with our efforts, otherwise she would tear up the thousand machines with her own hands. β
"How do you prove it?" Yang Haohui asked.
"We thought about winning against my sister at first. β
"Straightforward enough. β
"But I can't do it, Qianji and I both started to practice frantically after this, challenging my sister once a year, but after three years, he and I can't even take my sister's palm. "At first, we were really too young to think that we really loved each other and could overcome everything together. But there is a saying that is very true, there will be a time when manpower will be exhausted. β
Another long soot fell, silently shattering onto the ground.
"Working hard to a certain level can make up for the lack of talent. But what if the talent reaches a certain level?" Yeyin sighed softly, "Sister's talent is left behind by all my gods." β
Yang Haohui nodded, success is 99% sweat and 1% effort, which is the theory that many parents in the original world regard as golden sentences....... But the latter sentence is that 1% talent is far more important than 99% effort.
You've tried hard enough, but it's useless.
"So we changed our thinking, neither I nor Qianji had the strength to surpass the Absolute Inheritance, because we didn't have enough talent, so ....... Just make up for your talent!"
"I can probably understand your original intention of establishing the Dream Soul Academy. Yang Haohui said, "Establish a university palace, find a talented elementalist to cultivate, and then let them fight." Your goal is not to be a fan....... It's the Five Laws, right?"
"This is also the purpose of the Ghost Class. Yeyin nodded, "Wulu is the inheritor of my sister, and the students of the school palace are our inheritors." If our inheritors can overcome the Five Laws, it will prove that hard work can surpass talent!"
"But you didn't, at least not yet, or we wouldn't have our ghost class. Yang Haohui seemed to understand something, and asked hoarsely, "What about the last ghost class?"
The wind suddenly poured into the window, blowing the white gauze curtain beside the bed. The bright sunlight shone in through the gap that appeared for a moment, reflecting the eyes that were red in the night. She was silent, smoking incessantly, one after the other. It's just like the day she fell in love with Qianji, but that day was to cover up her heartbeat, this time....... It's to cover up sadness.
Nightshade pulled a small oval pendant from her chest and broke it open, revealing a small folded neat photograph in the mezzanine. Yeyin slowly opened the photo and shook it gently. Every movement she made was extremely gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person in the photo.
"I'm sorry Yang Haohui, I lied to you, in fact, the ghost class is not established every year, until now, Qianji and I have only organized it twice. Yeyin put the photo in front of Yang Haohui's eyes, "See, these are your seniors." β
Yellowed old photo, seven different teenagers and girls, they sit around the night sound sitting in the center, and laugh brightly together with scissorhands. Yang Haohui swept it seriously, trying his best to remember everyone's faces, this was his ....... Respect for the deceased.
"Are they all dead?" Yang Haohui asked, even though he already knew the result.
"There is also a survivor. Yeyin pointed to the boy on the far left of the photo.
"Their mission is to pass through the Cave, right?"
"Yes. Yeyin put the photo back away and whispered, "Our target is my sister, the Four Emperors, and the opponent with the gift of God." If I want to win, I must also have relatively equal chips in my hands. β
"Exploding Yuan Dan. Yang Haohui said these three words slowly, "That is the only gift that Xihe did not leave to the four emperors and demigods, you are the sister of Ye Fan, of course you learned this information, and you also knew the prohibition of Tongxuan Cave, so you organized the last ghost class to get the pill, but at that time, you didn't know that it was the tomb of the gods, and you didn't know that only light elementals could get this gift!"
"You got this information in exchange for the death of the previous ghost class, of course they will die, because the whole god will not allow the 'unqualified' people to take the gift! I wonder why no four emperors took the treasure before us, because they can't do it! Only the light elementalist can enter the cave, and there are only two light elementals in the world! I can't enter the cave with Juechen! The rank of the absolute dust is too high to enter! So I am the only one who can enter the cave to take the pill! No wonder you want to pull me into the ghost class!" The corners of Yang Haohui's forehead exploded with green tendons, and the speed of his speech became faster and faster, he was rarely so angry that it was revealed on his face, "You even did not hesitate to deceive us in order to get Dan, this is just a practical lesson in a red-level mission! You used the life of the previous ghost class and the risk that we will also die to satisfy your desire for revenge on your sister! You have decided the fate of so many people, even the !! of life, because of your own selfish desires."
Yang Haohui coughed suddenly, blood foaming out of the corners of his mouth, and his injuries were so severe that he couldn't even bear to speak loudly. Yeyin raised her hand, as if she wanted to help Yang Haohui smooth her breath, but she still put it down, maybe she herself understood that she was not qualified.
"You're a bastard, Nighttone. Yang Haohui coughed for a long time and said hoarsely. He didn't say "you" or "teacher" again.
"yes. Yeyin didn't refute anything, and said softly.
"Bacardi knows that too, right?"
"Yes. β
"Where's Hank?"
"He didn't know. β
"Haha, should I thank you, and leave me someone I can trust?" Yang Haohui chuckled, smiling very desolately, "We all believe that you are our teacher, and the previous ghost class must have believed in it too! But what about you, what are we? What am I? Is it a weapon? Or is it a tool for your self-proof!"
"You are my students. "I said it earlier, I had no choice. β
"yes. Yang Haohui looked up at the ceiling, breathing like a bellows, "There is no choice, it is the most high-sounding excuse in the world to hurt others." β
"The first reason is gone, and there is the second. Nightshade said.
"I don't want to hear it, you can go out. Yang Haohui turned his head away.
"Let me finish. Yeyin sighed, "I'm not trying to ask for anyone's forgiveness, or I'm trying to excuse myself. But if it weren't for that, I'd have actually given up on taking revenge on my sister. If I and Qianji fail to do it when the time limit is up, then it's a big deal, and I'll just accompany him to die. β
Yang Haohui was slightly stunned and looked at Yeyin.
"After the last ghost class died, I wanted to give up. Yeyin stared at Yang Haohui's eyes, her eyes clear, "Because it hurts, I don't know if I can accept the loss of my student again." β
"What is the second reason?" Yang Haohui asked after being silent for a long time.
"Thank you. Yeyin smiled, "It's because of Geng Yan." β
"What do you mean?" Yang Haohui was puzzled.
"Do you remember that he has blood teaching?" said Yeyin faintly, "and most of the human blood teachings have side effects. β
"Geng Yan is the child I adopted with Qianji, and he was expelled from his family because of his blood [Fire Spirit Body]. Yeyin paused, "Every time he experiences a heart tribulation, a special flame will be automatically generated in his body, this kind of flame is called [Fire Spirit], which not only has a special effect, but also has a temperature and destructive power far beyond the flames that ordinary fire elements can make. β
"Isn't this a good thing?" Yang Haohui said, "I fought with him, that kind of golden flame is a kind of fire spirit, the temperature is terrifying, this kind of blood grant is a great improvement in combat effectiveness." β
"Yes, but his body can't take it. "No matter how powerful the power is, it must have a corresponding body to withstand it." For example, your divine ability, you can only exert 10% without damage because of your physical fitness, right? But this is a meta-technique, you can control the output amplitude, Geng Yan can't, the fire spirit is the fire spirit, it is the flame, it is the blood grant. It's like Geng Yan's hands and feet, which are part of the body. β
"His body can't handle that special flame?"
"Not at all, the fire spirit is the king of fire, just like the [Golden Fire] he released earlier, if he uses all his strength, he can even burn me. There are almost no rules to follow in the ability of blood granting, and the power is not limited by rank like Yuan Energy. This huge amount of energy is not easy to control, and do you remember what I said? Every time he experiences a heart tribulation, there is another fire spirit. β
"Geng Yan, now, how many are there?" Yang Haohui understood a little.
"Two kinds, one is [Golden Fire] and the other is [Charcoal Fire]. He is fourth-order and has experienced two heart tribulations. Nightshade said.
"How long can he last?" Yang Haohui asked, "Is it that as long as there is one more fire spirit, he will die?"
"It's easy to talk to you, and I'm guessing accurately. "Each fire spirit is a separate fire with a unique effect, in other words, the two fires are not compatible. They were stored in Geng Yan's body and poured over each other, like time-limited explosives, and they didn't know when they would explode. β
"We have estimated that if there is even one more fire spirit, Geng Yan will be blown to ashes in an instant, and the explosive power is enough to destroy the entire Dream Soul Palace. For this reason, we forbade him to cultivate, because we didn't know if the next tribulation would be a mental tribulation. But the 'Fire Spirit Body' can accelerate the cultivation of the Fire Elemental, even if he doesn't do anything, his rank will get higher and higher. β
"This talent is really enviable, but on the other hand, it will hasten his death. Yang Haohui sighed, "No wonder the family expelled him, afraid of being implicated by the explosion." β
"The only person who can save him is you, Yang Haohui. Nightshade said suddenly.
"Use the Exploding Yuan Pill?" Yang Haohui asked, "Then you are going to be disappointed, I have heard the effect of that pill mentioned by Xihe, it is just a very powerful medicine to improve the rank." He also instructed me not to eat until the eleventh order, as I would be killed by the surge of Yuan Energy. β
"Is the bronze door there....... Have you seen the god Xihe?" asked Yeyin.
"I saw it, but for some reason I can't go into details, let's talk about how to save Geng Yan. Yang Haohui avoided the topic.
β...... I understand, but that's not the way to save Geng Yan. We need you to learn to 'reconcile'. β
"Reconcile?" Yang Haohui was stunned.
"Only a light elementalist can learn to refine the characteristics. Yeyin said, "What Bacardi found when he was looking through the ancient books, and the only thing we know, is the ability of the Light Elemental. β
"The light element energy itself is a kind of aggregation of the seven element energy, and the power of the seven element energy can coexist harmoniously in your body, and your mode transformation confirms our conjecture very well. From this, it can be inferred that light has the property of 'combining substances with different properties', that is, the harmonic property, which corresponds to Geng Yan's situation. We don't know the list of properties of photoelemental energy, but we believe that the photoelementalist, that is, you, can learn to refine this property. β
"How should I learn?" Yang Haohui asked, "Learning characteristics need to be understood, isn't it?
"This knowledge involves the mutual growth and restraint of the elements, and you will be 'little bombs' and ask me?" "Besides, I have already secretly let you learn relevant knowledge, don't you remember?"
"You mean....... The book "Introduction to Alchemy" that you recommended?" Yang Haohui recalled the book that introduced the mutual growth and restraint between the elements, and was stunned for a long time, "It turns out that you started the set early in the morning." β
Nightshade didn't speak.
"I understand that after blending, I will learn a meta-technique that refines the structure based on this characteristic, and that meta-technique can save Geng Yan. Yang Haohui's eyes were empty, "I am a unique light elemental, and the effect of the Yuan Technique is strong. After my rank is raised, plus the explosion of Yuan Dan, not to mention the five laws, even your sister and I are not impossible to fight, you can save Geng Yan and take revenge on your sister....... It's one ring after another. β
He turned his head to look at Yeyin, "You've staked everything on me." β
"I'm sorry. Yeyin sighed slightly, "Will you help me?"
"You only need to sacrifice me, and no one else will be calculated by you, which is good. Yang Haohui paused, "But I refuse." β
Yeyin was stunned.
"What does this have to do with me? Your life and death, the principal's life and death, and even Geng Yan's life and death. What does it have to do with me? How can I be so strong that I deserve your trust. Yang Haohui smiled, this was one of the few smiles in his long conversation, revealing bitter exhaustion, "Do you know? Hank, Bacardi, you, and many, many others, all say that I am a genius, and you praise me for being amazing, saying that I was born to save the world, and let me get in touch with the deepest and most powerful power in this world........ But have any of you ever asked me, do I want to be a genius?"
"But you....... Don't you want to be a guard? The job of a guard is to help others, and you ....... I have the talent to do that. Nightshade whispered.
"Talent or not, it's my business. Whether I want to use this talent or not is also my business, I am not that noble. Yang Haohui replied in the same slight voice, but in a firm tone, "After you broke away from your sister, you became a 'mortal' like the headmaster. You envy my talent and want to use it, because you don't, so you pin your hopes on me. It's so touching, if I follow the usual plot, I should really cry and say, 'Leave it to me.'" But I don't want to be a teacher, I'm really tired, tired and want to die. β
"Do you know what my first reaction was when I learned that I was rescued?" Yang Haohui still laughed, "I actually want to ...... Why didn't I die? β
"I became a guard purely because Hank had placed hope in me, I went to pass the entrance exam desperately because everyone needed me, and now even if I become stronger, I have to take on the future of you, the principal, and Geng Yan. I've been pushed along the way by all kinds of people, and I don't want to let you down, because that will make me feel incompetent and hated by you...... But I can't bear the teacher, I don't want to be talented, I really just want to be a fool. β
Yeyin was silent, and she wanted to dismiss Yang Haohui's words quietly as a teacher, because it is impossible for people to survive alone, and it should be a virtue to be proud of for human beings to pay for others.
If people in the Tian Yuan Realm have watched "Spider-Man", they will definitely agree with the golden sentence "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility". But this responsibility ...... Isn't it supposed to be "voluntary"? Is she really qualified to put so many burdens on her shoulders on this twelve-year-old child?
You should do it, it's your responsibility?
In retrospect, Yang Haohui is actually a person who is very afraid of trouble and lazy, but since he entered the ghost class, he hasn't slept for a long time.
The so-called genius is nothing but kidnapped by the expectations of others...... It's just a lackey.
"I know you're a good teacher, but there's still going to be a real combat class in the ghost class......., right? Is it right to expect me to be stronger?" Yang Haohui said softly.
Yeyin hesitated for a long time and nodded.
"I'm sorry teacher, I've survived no matter what happened so far, I didn't give up my partner and fulfilled everyone's wishes, just let me run away once. Yang Haohui said, "I'm going to drop out." β
The wind stopped, and there was dead silence in the room. Yeyin was silent for a long time, and slowly finished his second cigarette.
"I grant your request to withdraw from school, as the homeroom teacher of the ghost class. Yeyin whispered, "But as a bystander, I must warn you of one thing, what about Mo Meng?"
Yang Haohui was taken aback.
"Why do you think Mo Meng is staying here? She's not a student here. β
"You....... You mean?" Yang Haohui shuddered and couldn't control himself.
"Three days ago, she offered to join the ghost class, and I allowed it. Yeyin said, "The three kinds of Yuan Ability, the talent is transcendent, and it is still the age of school, so I have no reason not to accept it." The exemption order has come down, and she was already enrolled yesterday. β
"Are you going to use her as a substitute for me!" Yang Haohui roared, even trying to get up despite the cracked wound, but the pain was so severe that he couldn't even get up slightly.
"I don't mean that, but since I joined the ghost class, it means that I will definitely go through the actual combat class, even if I remove all my personal purposes, the ghost class is still the special cultivation object of the Dream Soul Academy, and the actual combat class is the most difficult of all classes. "I promise you that from now on, there will be no more deceptive nature in the actual combat class, but the danger will still be high, and the difficulty of the mission will not be lower than the green level." I'm setting up this special class to train people to be able to fight with the Five Laws, and I don't think you can interfere with this kind of normal teaching. β
"But she is a three-dimensional ability, and from a certain point of view, she also has something in common with my ability!" Yang Haohui glared at Ye Yin, "I have no objection to Mo Meng's enrollment, but can you promise me that she will not become a second me, will not be forced to learn to reconcile, and will not experience tasks like Tongxuandong that only I can do!"
Nightshade was silent.
"Answer me teacher!" Yang Haohui yelled.
Yeyin sighed and shook her head: "I can't guarantee that you're right, I can't completely give up my obsession yet." If I find a similar task again, I will let Mo Meng try it. As for the ........ of reconciliation Although she said that she couldn't learn the meta-technique, I would let her try it. β
"You're a fucking bastard!" was the second time Yang Haohui didn't use honorifics.
"Are you worried about this dangerous situation, which is very unlikely? Yeyin smiled wryly, "Then if I say a little more, I think you'll be more worried." β
Yang Haohui was stunned.
"The three kinds of yuan energy exist in the body at the same time, or the three attributes of water, fire and wood, which are similar to Geng Yan's situation from a certain point of view. Yeyin said, "The situation of the triadic is so rare that even an old pedant like Bacardi can't assert it, and we don't know what problems will arise with the advancement of Mo Meng's rank." Although it may not be as serious as Geng Yan's deathly, when the rank is high to a certain level, there must be harm to the corridor, similar to the defect of your mode switch. The pain of two opposing elements colliding in the corridor....... You should know better than anyone else. β
Yang Haohui's clenched fist slowly loosened, and he looked at Yeyin blankly, which he didn't expect at all, but the possibility of it happening was completely logical.
"Got it, I mean, if this really happened to Mo Meng, she couldn't stop it, she could only endure that pain endlessly. Because Yuan Neng is a part of her body, it is impossible for her to completely excrete Yuan Neng from her body, just as it is impossible for a human to cut off his own head for no reason. We don't know how to treat it, Geng Yan, we are helpless. β
"If that happens, you're the only one who can protect her. Is this reason enough for you to stay in the ghost class?"
I don't know how many times there was a dead silence, Yang Haohui looked straight at the ceiling. It wasn't until the wind came again that Yang Haohui opened his mouth sullenly.
"I see. β
.......
After a few days of recuperation, Yang Haohui finally got out of the ward.
At six o'clock in the morning, the girl waited quietly at the door of the ward, and she came nearly half an hour early, just so that Yang Haohui could see her at the first glance when she went out. For this reason, she also dressed up, wearing a beige long skirt with a pair of small boots. The ear-covering hair was slightly permed, and the edges were curled with small curls like broken flowers.
You must make Brother Yang's eyes shine! The girl made a gesture to cheer herself up, and thought secretly.
Without letting the girl wait too long, Yang Haohui stepped out of the ward. He had changed into the dark green school uniform with gold thread, and the bandages on his body had been removed, except for the criss-crossing scars on his right hand, which looked completely normal.
"Brother Yang!" the girl smiled happily.
"Ahh Yang Haohui waved his hand.
"Tell you a big secret!" Mo Meng pretended to hold out a finger mysteriously.
"You've joined the ghost class, I already knew. Yang Haohui said.
"Alas~ Did the big-breasted teacher tell you, it's so boring. Mo Meng was a little deflated.
"I'll advise you more in the future. Yang Haohui touched Mo Meng's head, turned around and walked towards the staircase.
Mo Meng was stunned, she touched the top of her head, and her smile gradually disappeared.
"Brother Yang. Mo Meng whispered to Yang Haohui's back.
"What's wrong?" he said, looking back.
"Are you alright?"
Yang Haohui was stunned, but immediately chuckled, and his smile was peaceful.
"It's okay, everything....... It's all good. β
To be continued.......
