Volume 1, the returning leader XVIII. Shouchao Academy recruits new students! (a)
The streets are full of people and traffic.
"There are a lot of people...... Looking at the endless sea of people, Lin Cheng also felt helpless, he had followed the old man Mainnie before, and he didn't pay much attention to the route, but now he was full of people, and he couldn't find the location of the academy.
However, Lin Cheng's worries were obviously unnecessary, and it didn't take long to follow the flow of the crowd before he saw the tall and extravagant school gate, and the sky-blue teaching roof was so conspicuous.
The sea of people diverged when approaching the red carpet on the ground, and the separated teenagers were all about the same age as Lin Cheng, who were taken away by the fair-skinned ceremonial ladies wearing blue cheongsam, and the relatives and family members outside the red carpet were shouting and cheering for them with their voices, the scene was very similar to Lin Cheng's college entrance examination in his previous life.
"Little brother, are you here alone to participate in the academy's recruitment?" A ceremonial young lady wearing a blue cheongsam, tall and with long flaxen hair bent down slightly, smiling and asking Lin Cheng softly.
"Uh-huh......" The refreshing fragrance came to his nose, Lin Cheng's face was a little red, and he turned his head slightly, but his eyes were nailed to the alluring whiteness.
"It's a brave choice, so which department do you want to sign up for?" The girl showed a very warm smile, and even the curvature of the corners of her mouth was so perfect.
"I ...... It's not clear, what are the departments? Lin Cheng secretly bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself not to look at her, feeling that his adrenaline had begun to soar.
"Ahh Should you say that your newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or that you are courageous? Miss Etiquette lightly tapped her pointed chin with her onion finger with a little disappointment, "Hear it clearly, now there are five major systems to choose from: combat system, spell department, healing department, assassination department and formation system, by the way, my sister is from the formation department!" β
"Why isn't there a summoning system? Isn't there a class like Summoner in the Academy? Lin Cheng asked suspiciously.
"Hahahaha...... You're talking about the contractor, lad. A loud voice came from Lin Zheng's side, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was an old man with gray hair, gold wire glasses, and a blue robe, and on his robe, a crescent moon and three stars were engraved!
"Master Rhodes." Miss Manners bent down. Rod waved his hand, stepped forward and patted Lin Cheng's shoulder gently, and said slowly: "The people who can become contractors are all the chosen ones, they are gifted since childhood, they can communicate with everything in the world since they were young, supplemented by the contract technique handed down by their ancestors, they can conclude a contract, fight side by side with them, and the potential is endless." β
Contractors do not crit...... Lin Cheng inexplicably remembered a stalk in a game in his previous life, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, don't think about so many children, it is impossible to come to such a remote and dangerous city with the status of a contractor, and it is said that there is a very powerful force behind them, forming a guild called the "Contractor Alliance", looking for seedlings everywhere, haha! Old man, I'm talking a lot again, hurry up and choose a department, I wish you a smooth clearance! Master Rhodes laughed a few times and slowly walked into the campus with his hands in his hands.
Lin Cheng pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly, spell department? Not that talented. Healing? Refuse to be a daddy. Assassination? Forget about yourself. Formation......
"Then it's still the combat department." Thinking about it, Lin Cheng couldn't help but cover his face, is this the so-called I have no choice but to fight......
"Ahhh Miss Etiquette brought Lin Cheng to the side of a burly old man with gray hair but still bulging muscles, and pursed her lips with a little dissatisfaction, "Old Zhan, it's another one from your department, and there are really a lot of freshmen who signed up for the combat department this year!" β
The old man ignored her, but looked at Lin Cheng silently, and an invisible coercion quietly spread, "You, are you ready to be enlightened!! β
Although the voice was old but powerful, with an invincible domineering aura, it directly impacted Lin Cheng's spiritual consciousness sea.
For a short moment, Lin Cheng seemed to be tightly choked by someone, and as if he was placed in a vacuum, and it was difficult to breathe for a while, Lin Cheng's mind suddenly had an alarm bell, the cold hairs all over his body exploded, his body instantly straightened, and the defense mechanism in his body was immediately activated.
"Bang!"
In just one breath, the coercion like a cage of iron cables exploded directly.
"Huh? This kid ......" The burly old man's eyes widened, he licked his lips in disbelief, and looked Lin Cheng up and down again, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
"It's kind of interesting...... Congratulations, young man, you are qualified to register for our hospital, pay the registration fee of one gold coin, and you can go in to participate in the assessment! May your martial arts always be there! β
After Lin Cheng took out a gold coin from his pocket, he followed the direction of the old man and came to a heavy gate.
"Whew......" Lin Cheng took a deep breath and said that it was false not to be nervous, although he was confident enough in his own strength, he would still be nervous to the point of sweating in his palms every time he took a test or something.
"Squeak-" The door was gently pushed open, and he let out an overwhelmed moan, and a strong smell of sweat mixed with sour and salty came to his nose, making Lin Cheng breathe.
It was a very empty room, the size of a football field, but there were no more people in it, and all of them had only a small vest, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands, and they were walking with great difficulty towards the front, and behind them were long water stains.
"Yo, there's a new person here!" An uncle in a black vest said hello to Lin Cheng and twisted a basket full of black stones.
"Lottery, boy! Luck is also part of strength! The uncle showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, but found that Lin Cheng was still looking at him blankly, and couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment.
"It looks like it's the first time to sign up, so you have to be prepared! The rules are very simple, pick a stone from here, pinch it in your hand, and walk to the opposite gate to pass it! Can't drop it! How's that, it's not difficult, right? The uncle smiled, making Lin Cheng feel that things were not simple.
Lin Cheng picked a stone that looked smaller, but Xiao Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "A special item has been detected, and it is being retrieved...... Search complete! Medium-quality energy stone crystals were found, which can be directly converted into 300 green source stones by Xiaoling. β
Lin Cheng's breathing suddenly became rapid, here...... There are treasures everywhere! If you can get here, you can at least rush to the fifth-level base camp!
"Good luck, young man, don't be in a daze, hurry up! Persistence is victory! The uncle looked at the rune stone in Lin Cheng's hand, a subtle regret flashed in his eyes, and his voice was still full of passion and encouragement.
Lin Cheng held the rune stone in confusion and walked forward, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in the uncle's gourd, suddenly, the rune stone in his hand lit up with a dazzling green light, and Lin Cheng's body sank suddenly.
"Bang!"
Gravity!
Lin Cheng suddenly realized, and slightly bent the corners of his mouth, it turned out that the test was to walk to the opposite side under the premise of gravity blessing, which is worthy of the "combat system", which is a bit interesting.
The dazzling light attracted many people in front of them who were panting in place, and a sharp voice suddenly pierced the existing silence, "Level 3 Gravity Runestone!! β
Everyone immediately turned their heads, and although this small action was extremely difficult now, curiosity drove more than anything.
Unlike the black stone in the hands of others, the light of the gravity rune stone in Lin Cheng's hand has been in a state of brightness since it was activated, as if it was declaring his proud status.
"Tsk, that guy, that's a lot of luck......"
"Look at his small body, it's a pity that he actually picked only three third-level runes. Unless he can have the strength of the bronze fifth order or above......"
"Why is he still calm......?"
"It's the first time, pitiful, there should be a chance next year!"
There was a lot of talk and they stopped moving forward for a while, and they were more willing to see where this lucky and unfortunate competitor could go.
"I really want to absorb it, alas......" Lin Cheng didn't pay much attention to everyone's noisy discussion like mosquitoes, what he was thinking about now was whether he could take this thing away, three hundred green source stones!
"Forget it, we must focus on the big orange and the bureau." Lin Cheng sighed and slowly stood up, the gravity exerted on him by this stone was not enough to affect his movements, although he was indeed a little unaccustomed to it at first.
"Click, click, click......"
The huge venue was so quiet that even a single needle could be heard, and only Lin Cheng's footsteps kept echoing.
"What's the matter, ......?" Lin Cheng looked at the people around him with black question marks on his face, staring at him one by one like ghosts, and he was puzzled in his heart.
"Still not taking the test? Don't be so obvious when you release water, hey! Lin Cheng didn't realize how terrifying his behavior was, pinching a third-level rune stone that could make the Bronze Fifth Order feel tremendous pressure, and walking a distance that took them half an hour and paid countless sweats!
"You...... You cheat! A man who looked older than Lin Cheng wanted to accuse Lin Cheng, but he really didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
"Don't talk nonsense, BB you again!" Lin Cheng whispered a threat, overtaking him with a pleasant face. The man didn't catch his breath, his eyes went black, and he fell down.
"No. 256, out!" Uncle's voice came from behind him, and Lin Cheng grinned, I didn't do it......
"Hey, another third-level runestone? Don't let me down! "A red-haired man with his upper body exposed, rigid lines all over his body, and he also clenched a third-level gravity rune stone that glowed brightly in his hand, but he was less than ten meters away from the gate!
"I ...... I'm not going to give up! Hang on...... Hang on! A sleek woman with short hair clenched her silver teeth, and the sweat on her body had already soaked her clothes completely, as if she had been fished out of the water, but she still did not give up, little by little, with difficulty, she moved forward, green light leaked through her fingers, and she was getting closer and closer to the red-haired man!
"Are the guys who can draw third-level runes so strong?"
"You don't understand this, the red-haired one is Han Shao, the younger brother of Han Ming, the battle maniac Han Ming, and he is also a gifted person, it is said that he broke through the bronze realm at the age of eight, and the woman is the eldest lady of the Zhou family, who has been eating since she was a child, and her body structure is different from us mortals!"
"What's going on with that guy in the back?"
"This ...... I don't know, newcomer, right? This is my third retest, and the later levels are too disgusting, so let's go, the more you drag, the more tired you get. β
In this way, Lin Cheng stared at the eyes of others with envy or jealousy or incredulity, and easily walked three-quarters of the distance, envious of others.
"Boom." Lin Cheng stepped down, and the floor cracked several cracks. "Huh?" Lin Cheng frowned slightly, and the gravity increased again, if it weren't for Lin Cheng's gold-level physique given by the class, it is estimated that he would have been eliminated a long time ago.
"You, how did you do that?" A crisp voice like a lark sounded in his ears, Lin Cheng turned his head, and a delicate face came into view, the woman's capable short hair was close to her cheeks because of sweating, and her proud figure was looming because of the soaking of clothes, which made people's blood gush.
"Ahh It's heavy, it's heavy! Lin Cheng screamed, and suddenly half-bent his knees, looking like he was about to be crushed by gravity, but unfortunately there was no sweat on his body at all. The gun shot the first bird, and Lin Cheng didn't want to be caught and sliced for research.
"Poof." The woman couldn't help laughing, but because of a moment of relaxation, she was violently pressed to the ground by gravity, and the hand holding the rune stone did not relax in the slightest.
Lin Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand, "You didn't say you couldn't help people, did you?" β
A smile bloomed on the woman's face, "Thank you for your kindness, but I believe I can, my name is Zhou Yun, please advise." β
"Lin Zheng." Seeing this, Lin Cheng didn't force much, turned around and continued to pretend to be extremely difficult and walked towards the gate.
"Hey, you're very strong, you can't see it, this small body with no explosive power at all can also come here with a third-level rune."
Next to the gate, a red-haired man with a bare upper body with a Chinese character face did not rush into the next assessment, but leaned on the wall with his hands on his chest and silently watched the other two "lucky ones" who drew the third-level rune stones......
"Luck, it's all luck." Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and bowed his waist and finally walked to the side of the red-haired man, if it weren't for the fact that the clothes were all dry, this acting skill could really deceive many people.
"Han Yu, what do you call it?"
"Lin Chengβwon't you go in?" Lin Cheng looked curiously at Han Yu with his eyes closed, and he had no intention of entering the next assessment at all.
"Let's wait for someone together, the second and third assessments are not too difficult, but we have to face the final assessment together! That's the most important thing, and if you fail, everything ahead will be in vain. β
Lin Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know at all So, it seemed that he was the only one who participated in the recruitment of this academy for the first time?
The ones who are screened out layer by layer are all the elites of the elite, and the strength of this academy should not be underestimated at all......
Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and silently raised the attack level of this city by several levels in his heart.
The speed of development has to be accelerated, if your tribe is exposed to the eyes of humans, gold coins are still secondary, and the holy water will definitely attract countless annoying flies!
Evolved Soul Stone ......
Tsk, what's the next level? What is the final assessment?
"For the Horde!" Lin Cheng's fists clenched suddenly.
