Chapter Ninety-Eight: Plot Points [Third Update, Ask for Subscription!]
The Red Lotus Armor has both defensive and offensive effects, and its power should not be underestimated, but it is still some distance away from being fully formed, at least the time for the soul energy to merge with the Aura Armor needs to be greatly shortened, otherwise it cannot be applied to actual combat at all.
"Or I can change the way, first fuse the aura and soul energy, and then condense the armor, maybe it will be faster. ”
After pondering for a while, Lin Ze removed the Red Lotus Armor, touched his somewhat deflated belly, and decided to go out first to solve the problem of eating, and then come back to continue his cultivation.
As the only academy in the royal court that cultivates spiritual magicians, the food here is naturally extremely rich, not to mention that for Lin Ze, there is also a taste bonus of otherworldly food.
However, when Lin Ze pushed open the door of the quiet room, he was greeted by a noisy noise.
"What's going on?"
Lin Ze frowned slightly, and looked fixedly, in the center of the public cultivation ground more than twenty meters away, two groups of people were standing face to face, looking at each other with unkind faces, arguing with each other.
The academy's cultivation hall is divided into two types, namely a single quiet room with soundproof spiritual magic and a large public training ground for multiple people to practice at the same time.
The two groups of people in front of them were very noisy, and thanks to the excellent sound insulation effect of the quiet room, Lin Ze was not disturbed inside.
He stopped, made a little observation, and found that although the two groups of people were wearing the same hospital uniform, the difference in appearance and temperament was particularly obvious, one side was more appropriately dressed, even the corners of the clothes were smooth and straight, and there was a hint of arrogance in the expression, and there was a sense of pampering and pampering all over the body.
On the other hand, he is much more casual, informal but capable and lean, and his skin is obviously rougher than that of the other group.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Ze noticed that among the people in front of him, there were many faces who had greeted him recently, all of whom were children of nobles.
Seeing this, a hint of thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ze stepped to the side of the person in front of him and asked loudly: "Classmate, what happened?"
The man was suddenly accosted, and couldn't help but be slightly startled, and when he turned his head to see Lin Ze's face clearly, he suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, it's you!"
After speaking, he reacted immediately, covering his mouth as if covering up, and his cheeks flashed red.
Being shouted like this, Lin Ze couldn't help but look at the other party intently, and after a while, he finally remembered that the person in front of him was the girl he met in front of the bulletin board of the school palace on the first day he came to the academy.
I remember that she seemed to have taken a lesson in armor spirituality with herself.
"We've met a few times, right? After thinking about it, Lin Ze smiled at the girl, "My name is Lin Ze." ”
"I, my name is Chen Muzhen!" The girl's face flushed, and her eyes were slightly surprised, but she didn't expect Lin Ze to remember her.
After finishing speaking, she remembered Lin Ze's question just now, and hurriedly said, "Those people are fighting for the right to use the cultivation ground!"
"The right to use the cultivation ground?" Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, looked around the venue, and found that there were indeed a lot more students in the hall today, but there were not so many people in the past.
"Yes, because early this morning, the academy announced the date of this year's academy competition, which is set in three months, so everyone is reckless, ready to show their skills in the competition, and the cultivation is much harder than usual, and even the venue with the gym is not enough. Chen Muzhen sighed softly, a trace of sadness appeared on his pretty face, "I came here early in the morning, but as soon as I occupied the venue, I was snatched away by those people from the traditional faction!"
"Traditionalism?" Lin Ze looked at the group of people who were all made up of noble children, "Do you mean them?"
Chen Muzhen followed his gaze and nodded: "Is it that they Lin Ze have just come to the academy?"
"Less than a month. ”
"No wonder. ”
Chen Muzhen was stunned, looking at her expression, the traditional school seemed to be a well-known common sense in the academy.
"The Spiritual Academy pursues the principle of attainment first, commoners and nobles are treated equally, but this criterion is not very recognized among the students, many traditional nobles hold their own noble blood, think that commoners are from low backgrounds, disdain to be in the company of them, very opposed to the academy recruiting civilian students, insisting that spiritualists can only be served by nobles, so they are particularly hostile to commoner students, and the noble students who maintain this concept are called traditionalists!" Chen Muzhen patiently explained.
On the other hand, the reformists composed of commoners and a small number of aristocratic students believed that most of the noble children were mediocre in ability, but occupied the most resources, which was a waste, and advocated that the capable should come first, and divide resources according to ability rather than birth. ”
So the people of these two factions were directed against each other, and there were often conflicts. ”
Hearing this, Lin Ze suddenly realized, he didn't expect that there was still such a factional dispute in the academy.
It seems that this should be the main plot point of the Spirit King Court, at least one of the main plot points!
At this time, Lin Ze suddenly remembered something.
In that case, where does he stand in this factional battle?
Judging from the status of a member of the royal family, he seems to belong to the traditionalists, but not necessarily, after all, there are also noble students in the reformists.
Or is it neither, but a neutral field?
After pondering for a while, Lin Ze felt that this was the most likely, after all, he had never come to the academy to attend classes before, and he basically had no contact with the two factions, so naturally he couldn't talk about which side he belonged to.
Thinking of the distant and respectful attitude of the children of the nobles towards him during this time, Lin Ze became more and more sure that this guess was correct.
"Lin Ze, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Lin Ze had been contemplative and silent, Chen Muzhen couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked.
Lin Ze came back to his senses, waved his hand at her to indicate that she was fine, and paused before continuing to ask, "Which faction does classmate Chen Muzhen belong to?"
"Me?"
Chen Muzhen didn't expect Lin Ze to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment before hesitantly replying: "I should belong to the reform faction."
After a pause, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face, "Actually, I don't like to participate in this kind of factional conflict very much, I just want to practice spirituality quietly, and then one day become a spiritual magician, but in the academy, civilian students are naturally on the side of the reformists, even if we don't do anything, the noble students of the traditional school will always make things difficult for us everywhere." ”
"Just like just now, we were cultivating well, but those people suddenly rushed in and asked us to give up the venue, Cui Jianping, they couldn't get angry, so they quarreled with those people. ”
Lin Ze only then knew the cause of the conflict in front of him, and was about to say something, when he heard a loud commotion not far away, exclamations rose one after another, and when he turned his head to look, it was the two groups of reformists and traditionalists who moved, and for a while, the spiritual power flashed continuously, and countless spiritual spells flew out together.
The cultivation ground was in chaos in an instant!
"Why did you suddenly fight!" Chen Muzhen suddenly panicked, and didn't know whether to step forward to help for a while.
She majored in the healing system, and she couldn't attack the spirit arts, and the defense system would only be able to use the armor spirit arts, but at present, she was still in the condensation link, and she was far from being able to apply it freely.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem that she can help when she goes up?
Just as he was hesitating, Lin Ze had already grabbed Chen Muzhen's arm and retreated far back, he didn't want to be affected by the melee.
But it's a pity to leave like this, after coming to this world, Lin Ze saw the spiritual battle for the first time, and he couldn't help but watch for a while, thought about it, and decided to stay in the cultivation ground and watch.
As far as the eye could see, arrows, swords, square seals, and other things condensed by spiritual power collided one after another in the void, stirring up bursts of dull roars, and various colors of spiritual power light intertwined and loomed with each other, making people dizzy.
Lin Ze patrolled for a while, and recognized high-level spiritual skills such as Ten Thousand Blades, Green Thorns, and Ming Wheels, in addition to low-level spiritual skills such as Spirit Arrows and Blue Bullets, and it was also not uncommon for armor, spirit bi, and imitation yuan, and there were even all kinds of fierce beasts condensed by spiritual power shuttling and rushing through the field, setting off bursts of deafening roars.
"If this is used to make a movie in reality, you can do without special effects, and you can directly throw a few streets of Hollywood. Lin Ze thought divergently.
He and Chen Muzhen were standing far away from the edge of the field at the moment, thirty or forty meters away from the area where the battle took place, it stands to reason that with the strength of the students on both sides of the melee, if the spiritual skills they cast were not aimed at the two of them, they would not be able to reach such a long distance at all.
However, in the melee, a round of light wheels in the shape of a moon arc suddenly swooped out, shooting towards Lin Ze and Chen Muzhen in the distance, the speed was like thunder, and it hit the two of them in the blink of an eye.
In the face of this sudden blow, Chen Muzhen couldn't react at all, and froze in place, only to feel that her mind was blank, and the strong wind was blowing on her face, as if the light wheel was about to hit her body in the next second.
However, just as the Ming Wheel was about to hit Chen Muzhen, a palm lightning poked out from the horizontal ground, and suddenly blocked in front of the latter when it was lightning and fire.
The light wheel hit the palm of his hand directly, but it was firmly blocked by the armor covering it, bursting with a dense spiritual light, and then as the palm grabbed the light wheel and closed it heavily, he immediately heard a click, and the light wheel shattered into spiritual power particles in the sky and dissipated without a trace.
Chen Muzhen looked at the scene in front of him with a dull expression, only to feel that his heart was pounding, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Finally recovered from the horror of death, and slowly turned his head to look at Lin Ze, who stretched out his arm to protect him, Chen Muzhen only felt that his heart was beating faster and faster for a while.
The sound of Lin Ze resisting the Ming Wheel attracted the attention of several people in the distance, and one of the noble sons looked at Lin Ze's face, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately exclaimed:
"His Highness Lin Ze!"
This loud cry was like a pause button for the battle, and suddenly everyone in the melee stopped, and turned their heads to look in the direction of Lin Ze, and after seeing Lin Ze's face and the armor in his hand, they seemed to think of something, and their hearts ached at the same time.
