Opening Preambleββββ
Qi is everything that makes up this time and space. Everyone has it, and because each person's characteristics and genes are different, the character of Qi is also good and bad. Only those who possess excellent qi can practice demonic energy and martial energy. In this plane, both are also referred to as the Aliens.
Magical energy and martial energy are also substances unique to this space-time.
And among the two, the level of magic energy is even higher than that of martial energy. Proportionally, 40 percent of the people in this world are supernatural. And almost 35 percent of these 40 percent represent demonic beings.
Gradually, the martial artist was rated as a race no different from ordinary people.
Due to the existence of the supernatural, the most prestigious supernatural beings in various countries in the international community have established the "International Association of the Supernatural" to manage the problems of all supernatural beings in the world.
But the world has always been black and white, like day and night. After the rule of day, there will be a storm of night. So much so that this new era of abilities won't be too peaceful!
The long period of peace did not bring much development to the city. The endless greed and backward customs of the top have slowed down the development of the city, and the originally "peaceful" world has slowly begun to shake, because of the greed of the top, the people at the bottom cannot even live a subsistence life, and the unemployment and crime rates have reached new highs, but these are unknown to people in urban areas.
Everything has a cause and effect,
You must know that "what you see is not necessarily true, it may just be a lie that I deliberately made up!"
ββββββ the story begins
"Didn't I say it, I'll think about it. "A teenager walked down the road with his head on his hands. The young man had a pair of sword eyebrows, and under them there were a pair of deep amber apricot eyes, with an indescribable resolute look in his eyes, and his eyes were sharp, like eagle eyes. His cheeks are slightly sunken, his cheekbones are high but not protruding, and he has crisp short black hair. Looking back, the look was like that of a hungry wolf predatoring, like a hawk looking at a wolf.
There was also a girl standing next to him, with straight blond hair to her shoulders. Dark blue pupils, slender figure, and a pair of charming Danfeng eyes, the charm is attractive.
"Okay, you think about it again, I'll go first"
"Oh"
This is the third time that Gay has looked for Ji Ran. Both received notices from the same high school. The college will first conduct an assessment, and the examiner will decide the final admitted.
Ji Ran has never been very interested in these, but because of Jiayi's repeated requests, he had to agree. After all, the high school academy you want to enter is one of the most well-known in the country!
"Looking for me as a teammate for the assessment, aren't you afraid of being eliminated?" Ji Ran sneered.
He walked alone to the bank of the subriver. This river is the mother river of this huge city, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, and now in the course of hundreds of years of development, this natural place has become a forest of steel.
I found a bench to sit down, and a breeze blew by, bringing a little comfort. This comfort caused all the unrest in his mind to be thrown out of the way at this moment. It was the first time in many days that he had been so relaxed.
Ji Ran has lived in the shadow of loneliness since he was a child, and when he was twelve years old, his father disappeared for no reason, but two years later, he received the news that his father had died in battle.
It didn't take long for the misfortune to come again, the mother herself was ill, and she couldn't stand the fact that her father died, and her condition continued to deteriorate, and then she also died.
After that, Ji Ran lived alone.
However, the sympathetic voices around him were only accumulating resentment in his heart. With a strong sense of self-esteem, he will never show his cowardice to the outside, although his heart has been cut off one by one.
"Who will help, my child fell into the water" A sharp shout pulled Ji Ran out of the memory.
When she came back to her senses, she saw a woman shouting on the shore and around, and when she looked at her, there was a child in the middle of the river fluttering, making a high splash, trying to float herself, but all failed.
The young body had lost its mind as soon as it went up and down.
Ji Ran didn't hesitate for a moment and jumped into the water.
Soon he swam to the side of the child, and stretched out his hand to hold him up to the sky.
Once ashore, the crowd around them applauded. The mother cried and thanked her. "How's it going? Is there anything uncomfortable?.... Thank you, thank you so much. I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble, I'm sorry.."
Ji Ran didn't want to think about it when he saw this scene, waved his hand, wrung out his clothes and walked away.
When I walked to the front of the house, it was already sunset. The orange-red light spread on his face, and his facial features became more three-dimensional at this time, and his bangs were wet on his forehead, which added a bit of sexiness to him.
When you walk through the door, look in front of you. Ji Ran took off his clothes, covered with scars. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Time, it's so fast!"
.......
Day 2
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet" In front of the crowd stood a man, dressed in a black uniform with a round mark on his chest. That's the emblem of the High School College. He was the chief examiner for this entrance examination.
"It doesn't look like it's a good thing"
"Now let me finally talk about the tasks and rules of this assessment," the man cleared his throat, "There are a total of two thousand people in this assessment, and you are free to mix and match by yourself." It can be a group of one person or a group of a hundred. It's easy, just run from here to the finish line 10 kilometers away. But don't mess your head," the man tapped his head
"Your every move can be seen at a glance by our examiner team, so if you are caught. Well, it's a pity that it will be eliminated. β
"Teacher, are you just running to the finish line? Then this assessment is too unfair, isn't it good for those who have high-speed athletic abilities?"
The man smiled wickedly.
"Impossible. On this track, everyone is equally fair. No matter how fast you run, don't try to pass easily."
"We only admit the top two hundred. I counted down to three, and the assessment officially began. β
"Three"
"Two"
All those who stood at the starting point were ready to go and had already begun to crowd. Everyone is waiting for this opportunity, and only by seizing the opportunity can there be a high chance of squeezing into the top two hundred.
"Damn, it looks like it's a fierce competition."
"Sure enough, it's a prestigious school"
"Ji Ran, are you ready?"
"Okay"
"One"
In an instant, only a puff of smoke and dust was left at the starting point.
People are crowded, and some have even fallen into the predicament of fighting. Although this is a racing test, there are no rules at all. It is entirely possible to incapacitate others by fighting and then seize the spot.
"I don't think it's that simple. Let's not rush to grab the spot in front of us."
"Good"
Along the way, the two of them tried their best to rub against crowded places, and they saw it early and walked around. Fortunately, this arena is really spacious, and you can't see the edge at all.
After running for a long time, sure enough, something unexpected happened. On the runway, strange obstacles began to appear, swamps, strong winds, icebergs, wild beasts, mines.
One by one, the students were hit.
Some of the unnoticed feet fell into the swamp, and they were pulled by the mud and couldn't move.
The wind blew the dark yellow sand grains in all directions, and the slightly weaker ones were swept and sucked in and photographed off the track.
Most of the beasts are howling wolves, although they are not very aggressive, but they are very large, up to four meters high. A roar alone was enough to scare everyone away.
The sudden appearance of the mechanism caught the students by surprise, and in less than half an hour, the number on the big screen changed from 2000 to 1357.
For this rapid elimination, the man just has an expression of control. "These children are very curious about where these 'obstacles' come from. He smiled faintly.
"The art of enchantment. No one must know about such an ancient spell. β
"Where did all this stuff come from. It's in the middle of the city."
On the way, the two watched the students in front of them being eliminated one by one, and became more vigilant about the surrounding environment. Suddenly, a puff of smoke bounced up in front of them, and the two of them jumped backwards with agility. "Since the front is so dangerous, let's eliminate a few here!"
"Shan Feng..."
The person in front of him didn't say a word, he raised his hand and came. The two of them were defenseless all of a sudden, so they had to keep backing and dodging. "If you have limited mobility, you are eliminated. Be careful."
Ji Ran nudged Gay behind him and leaped into shape.
"You're a big taboo. Since you're fighting, don't jump easily!"
Shan Feng stretched out his leg and threw it up, and Ji Ran pressed that foot sideways to Shan Feng's right hand side like a saddle horse. The sudden punch made him a little unbearable, and he staggered backwards. "Damn, I didn't expect to move so fast"
Suddenly, Shan Feng came to Ji Ran's face, pressed down, stretched out his legs and swept forward, raising a large area of sand. Ji Ran only felt a few punches in his chest, and he felt a little stuffy.
The muscles trembled slightly, and the figure was blurred. There was still sand floating on the ground, and the mud on the ground was also trampled off and sunken deeply. "So fast", a set of actions is smooth and smooth, without the slightest stuck. Shan Feng hurriedly jumped back a few steps and put on a blocking posture.
"Bang"
The two of them collided with each other's fists. Shan Feng turned around and hit Ji Ran in the abdomen with his hand, hitting straight ahead. Ji Ran gasped, jumped sideways, and hit Shan Feng's head with a half-moon kick.
Ji Ran hit hooks left and right, Shan Feng's head was a little foggy, and he struggled to raise his hand to block it, and his hands were numb from the beating, and he began to tremble slightly.
"Bang"
Shan Feng covered his abdomen and stepped back, and gastric juice seeped out from the corners of his mouth without obeying the command. He fell heavily to the ground. "Damn! underestimate him"
Ji Ran saw that Shan Feng would not be able to slow down for a while, so he no longer had nostalgia for the battle, turned around and left. "Aren't you fighting?" said Gay, confused.
"There is no need to waste physical strength on such actions. The most important test is to avoid obstacles one by one to reach the finish line. But after all this time, I finally found out."
"What did you find?"
"Don't you notice that these obstacles appear in a regular way, even if they are beasts, they only have a moving area, as if they were controlled by something. So if we find this pattern, won't all the obstacles be quickly avoided?"
"Despite this, these obstacles appear instantaneously. If no one had activated it, it wouldn't have happened at all. β
"So, we just need to keep this distance for now. Try not to get too far from the first place. Let them help us out of the trap, and we'll be able to deal with it handy. β
"But even so, it's better to be careful. Hell knows if the mechanism behind him is still following this law."
Gay nodded.
This assessment is really not so simple as a 10-kilometer cross-country run, and the traps and traps along the way make everyone feel very broken, so they can only move forward in a roundabout way, and once they are in a hurry, they will catch fire.
Two hours later...
There are only 587 numbers left on the screen. "It's almost time to get a place"
"You're playing harder than usual this time!
"Because the qualifications of this session are much better than those of previous editions. β
"It's settled!"
"That's right. What can I do as the principal commanded? What's more, the strength of that student is not bad. β
The two of them slowly adapted to the rhythm of this high-speed movement, and after each mechanism was activated by the person in front of them, they all bypassed it one by one according to the rules that Ji Ran said, sure enough
The process has been greatly accelerated. The distance has been maintained, but the person who is the first person is really extraordinary, and he is handy in the face of any mechanical obstacles, as if he can predict in advance which position will appear from.
"Those organs don't affect him at all. β
"It's tin!"
Ji Ran nodded.
If Gay is one of Ji Ran's best friends, then Tin is too. He was Ji Ran's playmate when he was young, and the two had been in the same school since childhood. Although there are not many intersections in normal times, the relationship is still good.
"He's strong"
"That's because he gave a lot," Ji Ran replied silently in his heart. He had seen Tin practice thousands of times for the perfection of a movement, training hard every day, and constantly getting stronger, which was also his belief.
Seeing the line of the finish line appear in front of you, the people around you suddenly began to sprint violently. Seeing that there was just a flat ground ahead, but Ji Ran and the two never dared to act rashly, if they encountered the elimination of the mechanism here, then everything would be wasted.
"Go this way!"
A figure stepped by.
"Shan Feng..."
"Did he keep up? It's really not a simple person," Ji Ran said with some surprise.
"Can I believe you?" said Gay, confused.
"Believe it or not. Look at it. Shan Feng was suspected of being a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he had to say lightly.
Sure enough, the assessment is definitely not simple. The ground began to tremble for some reason. The center of the flat ground was tearing open like a spider's web. In an instant, a giant black machine stood up. It looks like it's humanoid. Waving his hands, he let out a mechanical roar. As soon as he lifted his foot and fell, it was like a few hundred pounds of explosives exploding, and the people around him were shaken apart by the air current. "Quick Look"
I saw that there were still six people rushing forward, and they dodged left and right. Jump, crouch. Soon the finish line was crossed.
"If you don't believe me, you can keep going" Shan Feng pointed to the robot in front of the three of them, as if to say, "If you don't listen to me, you can only be eliminated by this machine." Something like that.
"What then," said Gas, who took a few steps back, a little frightened.
"Of course I need your cooperation with me."
"I need your abilities to match me. If I'm not mistaken, your abilities are wind-based. Shan Feng gasped and said, his forehead was already sweating profusely. In fact, at this time, his stomach was like a river overturning, but he kept holding on. After all, this opportunity did not come easily.
"Yes," said Gay, a little surprised at what he knew he was capable of.
"Wait I'll roll up all the dirt in the field, and you max up the wind pressure"
"Okay!" Gay agreed briskly and turned his head to look at Ji Ran.
Ji Ran nodded, and the two seemed to know something through eye contact, "You two just spend all your strength." β
"But that will affect us"
"I have a way. β
The words just stopped. Shan Feng luck lifted out his hands. A burst of brown light lit up, and the sand and gravel of nearly 500 square meters in front of the field were slowly rolled up, and they lost the influence of gravity, and one by one they formed a large mass and jumped up into the sky. It's like a smart elf. "Quick, Gay. Spin them up and add them to their maximum rate."
"Good"
Ghai did so.
The wind around him began to rage, collecting all the sand and gravel into his pocket, and then the force became stronger and stronger, and the huge suction force frantically destroyed everything around him. Even the huge rock was shattered, and the entire sky seemed to be torn open with a huge crack. "That's it. "In the whirring air, the voice of speech also became muffled.
"Got it"
The three of them were immediately surrounded by a huge black wall, forming a round ball.
"Scatter!"
Suddenly, the sand and gravel in the tornado continued to shoot outward. The robot could only raise its hand to block the sand and gravel after being beaten, and suddenly did not stand firm and fell, and it would take a while for such a huge body to stand up again at this moment.
This small "meteor shower" left everyone under cover, unable to move.
"Now, get out of the way! β
Shan Feng controlled the sand and gravel not to fly towards him while running, and after a short run, the three of them stood behind the finish line and panted. "How did you come up with that?"
Shan Feng smiled and waved his hand, and walked away, and the two ran to other places to join in the fun.
"In short, entering the academy is a relief. Ghai looked at the screen next to him, and the three were seventh, eighth, and ninth. A long sigh. Physically exhausted, she didn't have any scruples and sat directly on the mud floor.
Ten minutes later.
Eventually, the number on the screen jumped to 200.
Tsushima didn't know where he came from, and he seemed very excited in front of the two hundred people in front of him. "First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your admission to the Academy. Secondly, you need to know. At present, the assessment is not over, please come to the academy at the same time tomorrow for the next round of assessment tests. β
"Teacher, can you explain to us the content of tomorrow's assessment?"
Tsushima smiled slightly, and instead said in his uniquely magnetic voice, "This is not good. Tell you, and you will be prepared. β
"Didn't we all enter the academy? Why do we still have to take the test?" said a boy who had just recovered his breath.
"Tomorrow's assessment is mainly to divide the levels from the two hundred of you. That is, the placement assessment, people with excellent grades, correspondingly, will also be assigned to the elite class, and the learning resources will be more and better. β
Everyone nodded in agreement, and one by one they collapsed on the ground tiredly. It's not just about running 10 kilometers of intensity, it's about being vigilant about everything around you, people, organs, and terrain all the time. If one is not careful, they will lose their place. The prolonged tension caused them to be emaciated.
They each said hello and left the assessment venue.
