Chapter 10: The First Training
By the end of the meal, it was completely dark, but the base was brightly lit.
"It's not too early, I'm sure you're tired today. The specific arrangements will be discussed until tomorrow. Zhan said, "However, because you all have abilities, you don't need to rest. I'll give you one of you. After saying that, three small crystalline stones appeared from his hand out of thin air.
"This is the meditation stone. As the name suggests, as long as you hold this stone and then meditate, you will not only restore your energy but also slightly increase the strength in your body. Come, take it. With that, Zhan handed them a few meditation stones in his hand.
"This ...... It must be quite valuable, right?" asked Dust, holding it in his palm.
"Of course, this is a scarce resource, and even if we have the support of the state, it is only enough for each of the thirty-six of us. Zhan sighed helplessly, "Don't say it, if it weren't for the state behind the supervision, even I couldn't help but be tempted to take all the meditation stones for myself, the larger the volume of the meditation stones, the more obvious the speed of our cultivation would be." Okay, let's go and experience it. After saying that, Zhan's figure blurred in the air and disappeared. Leaving the three of them to look at each other.
......
It's a brand new day, the world is unpredictable, and you never know what's going to happen in the next second. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and the fall of the night, all of which make you unable to see the way forward, we can only passively accept it, and can only watch as a happy life collapses, leaving behind ruins full of devastation. And we still have to endure the pain of loss to protect the pure land of this world.
I don't know when the next night will come. Dust looked out the window, looking at the sky, there were also stars shining, without a trace of clouds.
What will the future be? Chen didn't know, the only thing he could do now was to become stronger and protect the world. Perhaps their parents have fallen into unconscious ghosts, or perhaps they are now grabbing the turf, dividing it, tearing it apart, wriggling in the darkness, hiding before the dawn of dawn. They can no longer live in the sun, and even death is a relief, which is much better than living for a long time. Closing my eyes, those happy memories with my parents slowly became blurred, as if they were strangled in the night, in time.
"It's for the world. Dust said. Snow silently held Chen's hand.
Today is the first day.
Dust and snow, and a place to sit down, ready to start meditating. The three of them sat on the ground with their legs crossed, clenching the meditation stone in their hands, ready to start trying.
What is meditation? The so-called meditation is to let go of one's consciousness and keep one's consciousness completely free. Sometimes meditation even brings up certain images of the past or future, so that you can get certain foreshadows and make ways to deal with them. Of course, this is also a great need for talent.
Dust completely emptied his mind, what responsibilities, burdens, memories, everything around him had to choose to forget for the time being, to fully immerse himself in the world of meditation, what kind of world would it be...... The surroundings suddenly became silent, the dust seemed to walk on a person's street, the lonely city, empty, absolutely dead silence, biting cold. It was as if he had seen a towering mountain again, reaching above the dome, towering majestically.
"It's for the world. The voice in his head told him.
"Who is it?" he asked. He had heard such a voice more than once, but the owner of the voice had never responded to him. He remembered that voice vividly, because he had also seen himself shouting these words in the silent night, like a dream, and like a real reality, incomparably clear.
"It's for the world!"
"It's for the world!"
I don't know how many times I went back and forth, the echo was endless, this is just a slogan, but it has an uplifting effect, like wanting to give people a hope of survival, passing on the fire of the future, and desperate determination to do so.
Chen suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from a dream in vain, and it was already the rising sun.
He rubbed his eyes, saw the world outside the window, yes, it was still the same as yesterday, unchanged, he was here.
Chen looked at the two people around him who were still meditating deeply, especially Xue, and he couldn't help but be satisfied when he looked at her beautiful cheeks, long eyebrows, and beautiful black hair. Maybe happiness is simple, isn't it? But just looking at her quietly like this, he was already very satisfied. As night fell, he lost all his loved ones, and now, he only had her. Chen cherishes such a feeling, he knows that the future is so slim, and he also knows that they will definitely step into the battlefield, and the war with the ghost will be so cruel, he is very afraid that he will lose her, and even more afraid that he will lose this feeling of happiness, just like his former relatives, being swallowed in endless darkness, this feeling, memory, will gradually blur, and then, it will become indifferent. It didn't take too long, it just needed to feel the heavy pressure on my shoulders.
He wants to protect her, and he must cherish this feeling and hide it in his heart. It was his only, fleeting happiness. Dust walked over to the snow, and with a gentle expression, gently brushed the broken hair on her forehead to the sides.
"How's it going?" a voice sounded from Chen's heart, causing Chen to suddenly startle, and when he looked around, he found Zhan Zheng standing behind Chen's face with an unsmiling face.
"Don't worry, it's telepathy, now my voice can only be heard. Zhan said.
"You come with me. Then, without waiting for Chen's reply, he snapped his fingers lightly, and Dust suddenly found himself in a forest again, only listening to the murmuring of water and seeing the flourishing trees, but there was no sound of insects, and he did not see any animals. There is nothing but the rolling water and the trees that stand tall.
"Here?"
"This is where you will train in the future. Zhan told him, "I've already chosen a training place for each of the three of you, all of which will help you train and improve your ability level." I've prepared different training methods for each of your abilities. Every day, I will assign you the corresponding tasks, and you only need to reach this amount of tasks. However, this is not so easy to complete, and there will be additional penalties if you do not complete the corresponding amount of tasks. ”
Zhan sighed, "Don't blame us for being too harsh on you, we really need your strength too much, this world is being eroded by the night, and it has reached the point of urgency, so my plan is to let you be able to initially control your own power within two years, but I don't force the relevant ability skills, it depends on your own talent." That's right. "During these two years, you and Xue have trained differently, so you should avoid talking too often. I don't know you young people yet?Who hasn't had a youth?" Zhan noticed that he was a little out of shape, coughed twice, and then continued: "In short, for your sake in the future, you have to become stronger to protect her, and the coming days are long, and there is no hurry for these two years." So, I'm going to regulate that as well. He looked serious again, "Now, I am your guardian, because you are not yet an adult. Dust, do you understand?"
Zhan said a lot of words painstakingly, so that Chen could only nod his head. And he also understands that now is not the time to talk about the relationship between children and daughters.
"Okay, I've given you the task of taking down a tree with both hands and fists. Okay, I'm done. Next, it's up to you. After speaking, the figure of Zhan flashed and disappeared.
"Eh, wait a minute!" Chen reacted this time, and hurriedly shouted to the sky: "It's as simple as knocking down a tree?
"There is no way, and the adept has to learn to find his own training method. The sound of war was heard far away.
Chen sighed helplessly, then looked at the seemingly endless trees, and found one at random. Ready to start his first training. He was not a fool, he knew that it was not as simple as he imagined to bring down a tree, although he felt that his strength was infinite, and it seemed that he was about to burst out, but he knew that it would not be so simple.
Chen swung his fist hard, swinging at the tree in front of him, and he could clearly feel that the power of this punch was more than ten times stronger than the power he had knocked down the uncle who had turned into a ghost that night, which gave him a little confidence.
Unexpectedly, his fist seemed to be hit in a ball of cotton, and he couldn't exert his strength. Strange, how can a tree be so hard? Chen felt some hot pain in his fist, which also showed from the side that the left and right forces were actually mutual. He drew his fist and saw that the tree was still standing, as if the punch had only tickled it, and had not caused it any real damage, not even a single leaf.
This aroused Chen's competitive spirit, and he didn't believe that he couldn't even handle a tree. He geared up for a new attack.
......
In this huge forest, there is no other animal cry, and it is terrifyingly clean. However, Dust is no longer afraid of the loneliness of this empty and uninhabited person, and perhaps it is also because of the night.
He wants to become stronger, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" From time to time, such a sound would come from the empty forest, but it would add a sense of life, not too monotonous.
However, no matter how much dust tried, he could not knock the tree down. Time flies, and before you know it, another day passes, and the sun goes from east to west again.
"What should I do?" Dusty and sweaty, he looked at the unscathed tree in front of him blankly, not knowing what to do.
