Chapter 10: The Mysterious Old Man
After entering the Calemondo Academy, the students gathered around the registration office began to calm down, and began to discuss in groups, such as guessing what the assessment content was, who the assessment teaching was, and so on.
Li Bai found a corner and stood, still worried about the voice he had just heard, and then he used his consciousness to speak to the pine cone.
"Hey, who the hell are you? Also, you just said you were going to make a deal with me, what deal?" asked Li Bai.
"It's not big or small, I'm a magician, my surname is Hei, you can call me the Black Blood Saint. I want you to help me steal something, and when it happens, you won't have to do it. An old man's voice reached Li Bai's ears.
"Tell me to steal something, and what kind of deal are you talking about!'Black Blood Saint', what's the strange name?Black old man, hurry up and explain to me clearly, what's going on?" Li Bai scolded.
"Forget it, because you are young, and I have absorbed some of your spiritual power before, so that I can wake up from this Spirit Devouring Yang Fruit, I won't worry about you. The old man said, "The butcher with the knife just now has the smell of a box of magic crystals on his body, you help me steal the magic crystals on his body, I can tell you how to use the Spirit Devouring Yang Fruit to help you cultivate." ”
"Can you make me a warrior?" asked Li Bai quickly.
Not to mention a warrior, even if it is a spiritual warrior or a priesthood warrior, it is not a problem, and as for going up, it is not impossible. ”
The old man of Black Pine said proudly.
"Okay, if you can help me become a warrior, I'll find a way to help you find that magic crystal, but, that butcher headmaster, Mondo, is not easy to mess with, you have to help me pass the test first, and I can only help you when I enter Calemundo Academy." ”
Li Bai said, thinking that if he lost his qualifications again, he might not have a chance to become a warrior in the future. But if you participate in the assessment, you will still be in danger of your life, so there will be no one to take care of your aunt in the future. He thought about it, he had to stabilize the black blood holy old ghost first, and take one step at a time.
Soon, after everyone had registered, Calemondo's warrior assessment officially began.
"Now, I'm going to announce the assessment rules! First, those over the age of 16 will be eliminated; second, those who don't have spirit beads, and those who can't summon spirit beads will be eliminated. Only those who meet the requirements can participate in the assessment. ”
It was the ancient teachings that spoke, and as soon as his voice fell, several more teachings appeared. Eliminate the unqualified candidates one by one, and after a while, some people were forcibly asked away, and the number of people left behind was nearly less.
"The next assessment is very simple. Calemondo College is committed to teaching students according to their aptitude. First of all, in the outer courtyard of the academy, there are seventeen teachers, namely, martial arts training, knight teaching, swordsman teaching, magic teaching, witch spirit teaching, Taoist teaching, assassin teaching, potion teaching, animal taming teaching, literary strategy teaching, ancient scroll teaching, refining weapon teaching, spirit control teaching, tasting teaching, food teaching, alchemy teaching, and engraving teaching.
These teachings are all warriors, you need to take turns among them to ask, understand various issues in the spirit world, including how to give full play to the power of the spirit beads, the strength of different levels of magical beasts, and even ask for some potions, etc., through the information obtained, to complete the following assessment, time limit, three hours!
After three hours, you will go straight to the test. The content of the assessment is that all candidates decide whether to pass through the lottery, if they draw 'pass', then they can enter the Calemondo Academy, and if they draw 'fail', the candidates can choose to give up, or fight with the second-level Warcraft, and the winner of the battle will pass the assessment.
Again, I would like to stress that Calemondo Academy, without discrimination, prohibits the granting of privileges to any candidate. Assessment, start now!"
After speaking, a group of teachers walked among the candidates, and the clothes on their chests showed which one they were teaching. The headmaster of the academy changed into a college uniform and strode out, looking down at everyone.
"Headmaster, why is it so strict in recruiting students this year, and in terms of procedures, is it a bit?"
Gu Jiaoxi walked up to Mondo's side and asked in a low voice.
"Gu Jiaoxi, do you know that many of the warriors killed and wounded on the front line are due to lack of strength. If we relax the recruitment conditions, then it is equivalent to sending them to death. The empire is now in dire need of available talents, warrior selection, and in order to ensure quality, it can only be so. Those who defeat the second-level demonic beasts will be sent directly to the inner courtyard, and the rest will all be left in the outer courtyard to cultivate slowly. ”
Principal Mondo said helplessly.
If Li Bai heard his words at this time, he would definitely jump for joy, because whether he became a student of the outer court or a student of the inner court, it meant that he would have the opportunity to stay in the Calemondo Academy, which also meant that he would have the opportunity to become a warrior, even if that opportunity was pitifully small.
"Little imp, what kind of warrior are you?" asked the old man in the pine cone.
"What do you mean? I just got the Spirit Orb yesterday. Li Bai replied.
"It's been a long time, you're so old, and you've just come into contact with the Spirit Bead. Forget it, you don't have to be embarrassed, those bullshit teachings, it's the same whether you choose or not!"
"What did you say?" asked Li Bai, then looked at the crowd of people surrounding the magic practice.
"I just overheard, that butcher will recruit all of you, but only those who win the second-level demonic beasts will be recruited into the inner courtyard. You only obtained the spirit bead yesterday, and through the fluctuation of spiritual power, I can feel that your spirit object is too weak to work. ”
"Old ghost, you said that you want to help me pass the assessment, if I don't enter the inner courtyard, how can I get close to the principal, how can I not get close to the principal, how can I help you find that magic crystal. Li Bai sent a message to the old man through his consciousness.
"Let me think about it! You go to that potion and ask for some, cold grass, purple apricots, and poisonous glass pine needles. The old ghost said.
When Li Bai heard his words, he touched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly said.
"The icy grass is yin, the purple apricot has a great fragrance, which can attract demonic beasts, and the poisonous glass pine needles have a paralyzing effect, do you want to configure ...... Mosquito repellent powder, right?"
The old man was speechless when he heard Li Bai's words. At the same time, he muttered to himself, that kid can understand the properties and effects of various herbs, and has some talent in magic potions, but obviously he has not yet started, and he has no concept of magic potions.
The Ice Cold Grass can maximize the medicinal properties of the poisonous glass pine needles, and through the special fragrance of purple apricots, it can attract the demonic beast to take the medicine, so that the demonic beast can be paralyzed.
"You get the above three things first, and I'll tell you how to use them later!"
With the guidance of the old man, Li Bai half-convinced and asked for these three things, and then after simple refining, they became some "mosquito repellent powder".
After the potion instructor saw Li Bai concoct a magic potion, he immediately cast an appreciative look at him.
After configuring the potion, Li Bai listened to seventeen lectures from beginning to end about the spirit beads, as well as the profession of warriors, and so on. It turns out that warriors are divided into different professions according to their spiritual objects, the most common professions are, swordsman, warrior, killer, knight, magician, and some uncommon professions, such as wizard, Taoist, beast master, witcher and so on. The level of warriors, according to the state of the spiritual object, is divided into ordinary warriors, spiritual warriors, priesthood warriors, and brave people of different levels, and their strength can be said to be very different.
"Little ghost! Don't listen to those half-! Let me tell you, each profession is also divided into levels, in terms of swordsmen, from bottom to top, they are, swordsman, swordmaster, swordmaster, swordmaster, sword immortal. If the warrior's spiritual object is a sword, then it can be cultivated into a swordsman. When a swordsman can learn swordsmanship, he will be able to exert the power of spiritual objects, which is a swordsman. If you can attack with a sword, you are a swordsman. When the warrior summons the spirit body, it will be the Sword Venerable. As for the Sword Saint and the Sword Immortal, they need to evolve their own spirits. Your spiritual power is weak, and you have a high chance of becoming a swordsman. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Li Bai realized that there were so many complicated career divisions and hierarchical divisions in the world of warriors, which also made him even more enthusiastic, because becoming a warrior was more interesting than he imagined.
"Little ghost, let me ask you, why do you want to be a warrior?" the old ghost suddenly asked seriously.
"As a warrior, I can conquer the entire continent. I don't have to worry about the monsters in the forest, and the most important thing is that I can join the Imperial Warrior Escort to guard the safety of the Empire and the dignity of warriors. Li Bai said.
"Hahaha......"
The Black Blood Saint burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Li Bai.
"Stupid!"
The Black Blood Saint suddenly stopped laughing and said two words out loud.
"Tell me clearly, or ......."
Li Bai said angrily, obviously angry, after all, in his heart, warriors have always been glorious and sacred.
"Let me ask you first, do you know what is going on in your own world? How did the Spirit Bead come about? Why does there exist? Who was the first warrior, and why is he called a warrior?"
The Black Blood Saint asked a series of unanswerable questions, and at the same time, there was a contempt in his tone.
"If one day, you find out that the 'Warrior' is nothing more than a conspiracy, will you still be so persistent? Hahahaha, little ghost, you don't have to think about those problems for now. I just want to tell you that if you want to become a strong warrior, you need to constantly increase your strength, break through the shackles of life, and become a master. ”
"To be the master?"
Listening to the Black Blood Saint's words, Li Bai asked softly.
"You don't have to think about it! You pass the bullshit test of that pig butcher first. Then, you worship me as a teacher, and then find a place, and I will teach you slowly! Within a few years, the butcher will be all over the ground looking for teeth. The Black Blood Saint said triumphantly.
"Oh, I'll wait! I'll see how you blow the cowhide open. I don't know why, someone is invincible in the world, he actually hides in a small pine cone, and he has to rely on the meager spiritual power of a person who has no power to restrain the chicken, and survives. Alas, what a ghost!" Li Bai deliberately sarcastic.
"Hmph, little ghost, wait and see!"
Soon, three hours passed, and everyone tensed up, pulling a note from Gu Jiaoxi's hand one by one.
"Pass!"
"Great, great, I passed!"
Someone drew "pass" and screamed. However, the others, except for those who cast envious glances, are resentful, and it is clear that not all of them have such good luck.
After a while, all the candidates who were drawn to "pass" were taken away by other teachers. There are only those candidates who are drawn to "fail" on the field.
Li Bai stood in a corner and glanced at the rest of the people. A fat man, at this time, looked at the note in his hand with a nonchalant expression, and then took the lead out of the crowd.
"I choose to challenge the second-level Warcraft!"
Hearing the loud voice of the man, Li Bai immediately recognized that he was the one who came in with him just now, claiming to be the fat man of Yongkang Demon Bear Valley, Wang Fatda.
