Chapter 5: Try your hand at it

After returning to the dormitory, I naturally couldn't go to the cafeteria anymore, there were a lot of people on the other side, and if we went together, we would really be beaten and couldn't get out of bed. Immediately, he took out the uneaten dry food from his luggage and the two of them ate it one by one.

"Wang Bin, don't always look at me with such eyes, I don't like men. ”

"Shen Mu. Oh no, Brother Mu. "I'll follow you from now on. "I'm messing with you. ”

Shen Mu was a little surprised, "Qianqian, you are his brother who is so kind?" It was the first time he had heard Wang Bin call Su Qianqian, hadn't he ever paid attention to this kid's speech before?

"Brother Mu, she is really my sister, but she is just a cousin. Wang Bin seems to prove something.

Shen Mu suddenly remembered Shen Mu, so he was not in a hurry to cultivate, and asked Wang Bin again: "By the way, what is the point you talked about earlier? I don't seem to have heard of it." Do I have points now?"

"Brother Mu, that's the case, I also found out this afternoon, the uncle in charge of the dormitory told me that after the entrance exam the day after tomorrow, the freshmen will be officially upgraded to students from the outer courtyard, each with a student card, 100 basic points, and the top 10 entrance exam scores will be rewarded with points, 100 points for 6-10, 150 points for 4-5, 200 points for the third place, 300 points for the second place, and 400 points for the first place. Points are the currency in the academy, from the canteen and commissary, to the weapons and armor and even the exercises in the treasure pavilion, all of which need to be exchanged for points. Wang Bin seemed omniscient, a little thoughtful, and continued: "The academy also has a special points exchange office, this place is not far from the entrance of the college, you can exchange points for the currency in circulation in the mainland, that is, silver coins, gold coins, diamond coins, these points exchange offices are not opened by the school, these are some small branches of large chambers of commerce are operating, they also need points to exchange for treasures in the college, which is equivalent to buying points with money." I heard that if you redeem a certain amount of points, you can also get the purple cards of those big chambers of commerce, which is not something that can be obtained with money. ”

Shen Mu thought for a moment and said, "Aren't the treasures of the academy all hollowed out by those big chambers of commerce?"

"How come, Brother Mu, the points are not so easy to obtain, except for the 100 points guaranteed by entering the academy, the others are obtained by doing the reward tasks given by the academy, or the points that are automatically issued every month, you sell all the points, you don't have points to buy resources, and you can only do low-level rewards if you are backward in cultivation, isn't it a sacrifice to the end?"

Shen Mu thought about it, how could an academy that had existed for so many years have such a big hole waiting for others to pick it up.

"It seems that everything still depends on strength, if you don't have strength, you don't have resources, if he doesn't draw his sword today, the points of the two will definitely be plundered by that Lin Tian. Shen Mu thought about it, and said to Wang Bin, "I'm going to cultivate, what about you?"

Wang Bin is a person who doesn't like cultivation, it's too dangerous to be impatient to do outside, and he doesn't dare to go out for a stroll anymore, in case he bumps into Lin Tian and his group again. He was definitely going to be beaten and carried back, and said helplessly: "Brother Mu, then I will also cultivate." ”

Shen Mu climbed onto the bed, opened his luggage, took out the strict spiritual exercises that his father had given him, took a deep breath, and slowly opened it.

This is a small book that can be bought anywhere in the bazaar, and the name of the exercises is not unloaded from the book. Gently opened the first page, there were lines of text written on it, and after flipping through a few more pages, Shen Mu's face was full of black lines. What the hell, Daddy doesn't want to pit himself, this exercise doesn't even have a name, although the handwriting is beautiful, but it obviously has the meaning of haste. This is obviously a book that was rushed out in a short period of time. This is the last page of the book that has been flipped to a slightly larger font that reads "Imperial Spirits".

"Imperial Spirit Technique?" Shen Mu felt a little strange, listening to the name, it should be more advanced than the "Spirit Forging Absolute Technique" based on the spirit master, but he still didn't know what level of exercise it was, forget it, let's practice it first.

Turn back to the first page. It reads: "* Absorb qi, draw qi into a spiral, control the rotation to return to the sea, and enter the sea into a spirit." ”

The second page begins, which is a detailed cultivation step and meridian route.

Shen Mu didn't doubt him, so he put away the booklet after remembering it firmly, closed his eyes cross-legged and began to cultivate.

The aura in heaven and earth was gradually inhaled into the body, forming a small cyclone in the lower abdomen, and then controlling the cyclone to enter the spiritual sea, the process was not much difficult, and after failing several times in a row, it was already physically and mentally exhausted. Before I knew it, I fell asleep again.

The voice in the dream this night was much clearer than before, and Shen Mu vaguely understood. It was an extremely weak voice that called out to him, "Shen Mu, can you hear me? Hurry up and get stronger, my time is running out." Guiding the cyclone, I will try to help you as much as I can, but also myself. ”

Shen Mu opened his eyes suddenly, this time the dream was vivid, this voice was exactly the same as his own voice? Is it his own schizophrenia? It seems impossible, how can he talk to himself. Thinking about it randomly, he seemed to ask me to continue to practice the "Imperial Spirit Technique", and I felt that voice without the slightest malice, and I stopped worrying with my feelings, and controlled my mind and concentrated.

At this moment, it was already the second half of the night, and this time the cultivation was exceptionally smooth, and after the cyclone entered the spiritual sea, it actually transformed into a smaller cyclone, quietly floating near the demon group and the blood-colored mist.

Succeeded, Shen Mu was a little excited, and at the same time a little confused. The three floating things in this spiritual sea feel weird, shouldn't the cyclone be the practice of cultivating the demon group, how can you occupy the mountain as the king and divide one side.

But without waiting for too long to doubt, the cyclone in his body started to operate on its own, Shen Mu was obviously not cultivating and forging qi, but the aura from the outside world automatically and slowly entered his body, converging into that small cyclone, and then divided into two thin streams, one white and one red, flowing to the demon group and the blood-colored mist respectively.

"No, this cyclone can cultivate automatically? Wouldn't I have been cultivating all the time? Although this cultivation speed is less than one-third of what I cultivated. Suddenly, Shen Mu became interested, he wanted to try it, and if he could achieve the superposition effect by his own cultivation. Sure enough, when I tried it, I was startled, and the operation and absorption of the Forging Qi Absolute did not affect the small cyclone, but made it spin faster, and the cultivation speed was simply twice the result with half the effort.

"Shen Mu, can you hear me?" Shen Mu was excited, when suddenly a voice came into his heart.

"Who are you?I seem to know you, and you've been helping me?" Shen Mu responded to the voice with his heart.

"Of course, I'm helping you, and I'm helping myself, because you are me, I am you, to be exact, I have been with your primordial god for too long, I have been assimilated by your primordial god, and I have been devoured by you. ”

"Then why do you still have your own mind and your own consciousness?"

"Because I want you to help me get revenge, the leadership of this continent has become corrupt, they collude with demon beasts and kill their compatriots. I originally wanted to tell more people the truth with the Yuan Shen who escaped too much, but who knew that being injured by a demon monarch, the Yuan Shen was extremely weak and almost dissipated. I had to inhabit a forest in the vast continent and wait for death, maybe God thought that I shouldn't die like this, at this time you came, you came with a knight order, I don't know why a child was in a knight order in the vast continent, and then I entered your body, at that time I was already dying, captured by your soul, and gradually assimilated by you. ”

"Vast Continent, isn't it Cangnan Continent?"

"Have you returned to the Cangnan Continent now? I don't know how long the years have passed, the Vast Continent is in the north of the Cangnan Continent, separated by the sea, and there are groups of demon beasts among them. The vast continent is also where the lair of demon beasts is located. ”

"Why are you going there if you have nothing to do?, what kind of cultivation are you talking about, you can go to that kind of place?"

"My cultivation is one step away from entering the Spirit Emperor, and it is in order to take this step that I received the task of hunting the Demon Lord Oz alone. I am confident that I will be able to make a breakthrough in this mission. But I don't know why, there are 6 demon lords in Oz's territory, and there is a human wearing the high-level clothes of the Inquisition, thinking that he is discussing something. Later, I learned that it was supposed to be an ambush for that group of knights. I have very little memory of what happened after that. Until recently, I felt that my primordial spirit was almost dissipating, and in order to tell you this secret, I had to start drawing energy from your soul. Fortunately, you have successfully awakened, but I didn't expect my magic power to awaken in your body, it's really amazing, the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, unheard of. ”

"Is there anything special about my soul?" Shen Mu muttered to himself.

"Maybe. You've heard that souls can fuse with primordial spirits, although I have almost no energy. Okay, Shen Mu, the truth has been told to you, and I can leave with peace of mind. ”

"Wait a minute, senior, what is your name and do you have any relatives?"

"I don't have relatives for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have been crazy about cultivating and pursuing strength. If you have the ability in the future, take care of those brothers of mine, the Twilight Mercenary Group. My name is Twilight. The voice faded away, never to be seen again.

Shen Mu felt that maybe his soul had completely fused with the original god of Twilight. "Hey. With a sigh, I secretly made up my mind that I must find out the truth of this matter, and as for why I was there, go back and ask my father. Then I didn't think much about it and started to cultivate.

This night was destined to be a life-changing night.

Early the next morning. Shen Mu and the two went to the cafeteria together. Along the way, I never met Lin Tian and the five people again.

"Brother Mu, come, order food here, I'll buy it for you." Wang Bin looked a little doglegged.

"Smack. Shen Mu slapped Wang Bin on the back of the head. "I have hands and feet, let's go buy together. "I suddenly felt a little dark in my heart, I said, my dad likes to hit me in the back of the head so much.

Both bought some pancakes and fragrant soup. After eating, I went back to the dormitory to continue my cultivation. Wang Bin is also secretly bitter in his heart, Shen Mu seems to be only interested in cultivation, and he doesn't dare to go out by himself, hey, let's cultivate together

A few days passed like this, Lin Tian never met again, but he met Xu Kai once, that kid was also a good person, and when he saw Shen Mu and the two of them, he walked around directly. I don't seem to want to have too much contact either.

"Brother Mu, the exam is going to be tomorrow, why doesn't the academy have a notice, it's going to be dark. Wang Bin looked a little confused, it was indeed difficult for him these days, following a cultivation maniac.

"What? You want to go out and inquire about the news, but you don't dare, so you want to lead me out for a walk?" Shen Mu said with some amusement.

"No, Brother Mu, I just sighed. ”

"Okay, tomorrow's exam, proper relaxation is still needed. Let's go, let's go out for a walk. ”

"Okay, Brother Mu. I don't know what happened to Qianqian, why don't we try our luck in the girls' dormitory?" Wang Bin was in high spirits.

Shen Mu smiled and didn't speak, just go.

In the past few days, with the fusion of Twilight's soul, although he has not obtained his memories, he has combat experience and subconscious feelings. Shen Mu felt that everything was very different from before. It's like a master of fighting has lost his memory and starts from scratch.

The use of small cyclones in the body is also becoming more and more proficient. In addition to being able to cultivate this cyclone at any time, Shen Mu also felt that it could replenish the magic power and fighting energy lost in battle anytime and anywhere, although he had not tried it, but this was an intuition.

I really want to have a good fight.

Not long after, under the leadership of Wang Bin, the two came downstairs to the girls' dormitory.

"As expected," Wang Bin sighed, not far from the dormitory, the aunt inside was already vigilant, "This is already the limit, last time I was scolded by my aunt when I walked over a little bit." ”

"Let's go look elsewhere. There must be a playground or something. Shen Mu thought of something, "There will always be a place to relax." ”

"Brother Mu, yes, I'll take you there. Wang Bin unconsciously got up again, and Shen Mu didn't have anything to do with him, so he had to let him go.

The playground is actually in the other direction of the cafeteria. It's a little dark now, and there aren't many people on the playground. The two of them then found a seat near a few trees.

Several people around glanced at the two people who came over, and they didn't say anything, as if they were sitting and cultivating, and they seemed to be doing other things.

"Hey, brother, I said, there is an exam tomorrow, do you have any news?" Wang Bin was a self-acquaintance, and stepped forward to talk to a brother.

"Don't you know?" replied one of the slightly pale boys, "there are tutors here every afternoon, of course, the kind you can listen to as you pass by, and this afternoon we will talk about the exam tomorrow afternoon." The specific announcement should be tomorrow morning. The new dormitory manager will be notified. According to the tutor, this year's exam should be almost the same as in previous years, after all, there are fewer and fewer new students, and large-scale exams cannot be held. ”

"Are there fewer and fewer new students?, do you mean that there were a lot of new students in previous years?" At this time, Shen Mu grabbed a place that made him puzzled and asked directly.

"Why, don't you know it, it's from the countryside. The white young man glanced at the two of them speechless, knowing that he had guessed correctly at random, so he continued: "No wonder you don't know anything, I don't discriminate against countrymen, after all, there are no nobles to lay a good foundation for their children now, and ordinary families can awaken their talents and indeed account for most of them." ”

"Can awakening still lay the foundation?" Wang Bin asked.

The white young man didn't answer this nonsense, and continued with the previous sentence: "Saint Laurent Academy used to be one of the three major colleges in the Cangnan Continent, and once freshmen all needed exams to enter, and only the top two thousand people were selected, which can be described as fierce competition. You have also seen the current depression, although it has a certain relationship with the decline in the reputation of the academy due to its poor grades, but the main reason is that in the past few decades, there has been a strange phenomenon in the mainland, and there are fewer and fewer people who can awaken their talents, and it seems to be decreasing every year. As for the reason, no one can say. But there is a legend that has been circulating among the nobles, and that is the reduction of the aura of heaven and earth. In the past few decades, there has been either a big demon to be born, and a large amount of heaven and earth aura has been sucked away for his own use. But now everyone knows that the Demon Emperor has not fallen, what big demon can compare to the level of the Demon Emperor. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, even if a big demon is born, the demon emperor will kill it early. It's all rumors. ”

After that, the people exchanged a lot of information. After learning that tomorrow afternoon was a competition in the ring, Shen Mu didn't care much about it, so he should accompany Wang Bin. It didn't take long for everyone to go back to their dormitories after it was completely dark.
