Chapter 2: The Late Spiritual Root
Who are you? Are we two acquainted, so you just come over and pat me on the shoulder?
Bai Yi looked at Mu Yang like a fool, but the other party didn't feel the wrong thing in Bai Yi's eyes, so he put his arm around Bai Yi's shoulders and brought him to the crystal pillar, "Come on, brother, let me see what attribute of the spiritual root you can activate!"
Before I started, do you know that I can activate the spiritual root? Bai Yi rolled his eyes, and complained frantically in his heart. But it doesn't matter, let's just borrow his auspicious words, after all, this guy has activated the alien spirit root.
Putting his hands into the gap, Bai Yi, who was originally calm in his heart, suddenly became a little nervous, and he finally realized the mood of the people in front of him at that time. Excited, nervous, and a little worried.
Outside the tower, a group of people suddenly came from the back of the crowd, and the leader was a middle-aged man in silk and satin, a crown robe, and shoes. Behind him, there were more than a dozen people who were dressed plainly, but exuded elegance. These people are from the teachers who are located in the center of the five surrounding cities and are also the only school in the five cities, the Chunyuan Academy, and the leader is the head of the school, Tianlan.
A school is a place dedicated to teaching children who have just activated their spiritual roots the basics of magic. In the academy, different teachers will teach them various basic magics as well as introductory elemental magic that is unique to their spiritual root attributes. Students will be allowed to graduate from the academy when they reach the age of fifteen or when they have raised their magic cap to the peak of Seven Yao, which is a value of 999.
Zhang Tianlan walked towards the crowd, and all the people present knew the lord of Zhang Tianlan's mansion, so when they saw their group of people coming, they all consciously made way of a road, allowing Zhang Tianlan and his party to walk in front of Granny Xu without hindrance.
"Lord Xu, I haven't seen you for another year. Zhang Tianlan took the initiative to say hello.
The Lord of the Xu Tower is Granny Xu, and as the only person who manages the activation tower, it is not wrong to call her the tower master.
"Mansion Master Zhang, you came a little late this year, and now there is only one child left who has not yet been activated. Granny Xu responded.
"Something has been delayed. Zhang Tianlan explained, "This is also just right, I am tired of the Lord of the Xu Pagoda to tell me if there are any good seedlings this year." ”
Speaking of the children, Granny Xu laughed all at once.
"Looking at Lord Xu's expression, it seems that there are a few particularly good children this year?" Zhang Tianlan noticed that Granny Xu laughed, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Although the academy can recruit a large number of students every year, all of them are ordinary single-attribute spirit roots, and even the upper limit of innate magic element is 20. Compared with schools in other regions, Chunyuan Academy has not produced a student with good talent for many years.
"yes, there are two very nice kids. The smile on Granny Xu's face became brighter and brighter, "A little girl has activated a dual-attribute spirit root, and there is a strong guy who has only activated a single-attribute spirit root, but it is a strange spirit root! A born spirit root with a value of 100!"
"What!" Zhang Tianlan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Dual-attribute spirit root! The entire empire has not had a dual-attribute spirit root for decades! There is actually one in Baicheng!"
"Yes, this is a great event for the White City. Granny Xu said with a smile.
"Although the Alien Spirit Root is not particularly rare, the Five Cities have not appeared for many years, and it is also a particularly good seedling. I really didn't expect that Bai Cheng actually gave me two surprises at once!" Zhang Tianlan said with emotion, "Three years later, when they grow up, they will be able to get a good ranking in the ranking of the nine universities of the Cangluan Empire, and I will be able to move forward in the ranking of the Chunyuan Academy!"
The Cangluan Empire had a total of nine regions, each of which had a school. Every year, the Cangluan Empire holds a university competition, and the nine universities will each select ten students from the graduating class to compete. Students who achieve outstanding results in the competition will be rewarded by their institutions from the Empire.
Not only that, but the Cangluan Empire also formulated a ranking for the Nine Universities, and the reference for the ranking is the results of the annual competition. In order of ranking, the empire will also provide each academy with a varying number of cultivation resources as rewards.
And Chunyuan University has not recruited students with better talents for many years, so it is ranked at the bottom every year.
There is no way to do this, the nine regions are far apart. It is impossible for parents to allow their children to travel too far to attend school, so it is almost impossible to recruit students from other regions. Besides, even if you can recruit them, it's useless to recruit those with poor talents, and if you have good talents, it is impossible for the schools in the other region to watch you poach people. So this road is not realistic at all, Zhang Tianlan can only pray that talented children can be born on her own territory.
"There's one last child, let's take a look. Zhang Tianlan got back to the point.
"That's right, let's see what the situation is with the last child, then again, this child is still the younger brother of the girl with the dual-attribute spiritual root, maybe he can give us a surprise. Granny Xu nodded and said.
"Oh, yes? That's really exciting. Hearing this, Zhang Tianlan, who was not very interested in Bai Yi in the light curtain, suddenly came to his senses and looked at Bai Yi intently.
Bang bang, bang bang.
Bai Yi could clearly hear his own heartbeat, and he even felt that his heart was about to jump out.
"Why haven't you come out yet? Bai Yi's heart became anxious.
Two breaths passed, and the crystal pillar did not react at all. This has happened many times before, or rather, most people have encountered this situation - there is no spiritual root.
"Impossible!" Before Bai Yi could say anything, Bai Ling'er shouted first, "I'm a dual-attribute spirit root, how can you not even have a spirit root!"
Generally speaking, the possibility of whether or not a spiritual root exists for a child born to the same pair of parents is basically the same. Bai Ling'er not only activated the spirit root, but also the dual-attribute spirit root, but Bai Yi did not have a spirit root, which was very abnormal.
Zhang Tianlan looked at the situation in the light curtain, and also wondered, "Although I didn't expect to give me another dual-attribute spirit root, but it won't be without a spirit root, right?" Are the two of them really brothers and sisters?"
Granny Xu also felt incredible, "This is a situation that I have never heard of, and this is really something even more rare than the appearance of a dual-attribute spirit root." ”
"Huh, what's going on?" Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed, and others began to exclaim one after another.
Zhang Tianlan subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the light curtain.
"This ······ How is it possible?" Zhang Tianlan couldn't help but shout.
It turned out that although the crystal pillar did not react, Bai Yi was in a temper and kept stuffing his hand desperately. However, the space of the notch is not too large, and when it reaches the wrist, it can no longer be reached.
"Come out, come out for me!" Bai Yi shouted angrily.
"Bai Yi!" Bai Ling'er tried to persuade Bai Yi to give up, you must know that the current situation inside and the people outside can see it clearly, Bai Yi's appearance is a little embarrassing. There are more people who have not activated the spiritual root, and I haven't seen other people react as much as him.
Just as Bai Ling'er was about to step forward and pull Bai Yi away, the crystal pillar suddenly reacted, emitting a faint white light.
"What's the situation? It's really a long time to see today!" Zhang Tianlan looked at this scene, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, "It's the first time I've seen someone who can activate the spiritual root for so long, counting the time, this must be more than ten breaths, right?"
"It's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, but since I can activate the spiritual root, it's a good thing. Granny Xu said, "The metallic magic attack ability is relatively strong, and it is quite suitable for this little ······ Eh! No, Lord Zhang, look at the color of this light, it seems to be a little ······ There is a feeling that I can't put it into words. ”
"Oh?" Hearing Granny Xu say this, Zhang Tianlan also looked at it carefully, "Indeed, white is also white, but it seems that the color is a little ······ Wait! Light color?" Zhang Tianlan's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had thought of something, "Could it be!"
"What is it?" asked Granny Xu.
"Light white light! It's a thunder attribute! Oh my God! It's actually a rare attribute! A rare attribute that is rarer than a multi-attribute spirit root!" Zhang Tianlan laughed, "It's really Tianxing, my Spring Garden Academy!
"That's true. Granny Xu didn't know what to say, "Could it be that rare attributes require more than ten breaths to be activated?"
"Have I activated the spirit root?" Bai Yi was also stunned. Without activating the spiritual root, Bai Yigang was indeed very uncomfortable at first, and he was unwilling to withdraw his hand just unwillingly. was about to accept the reality, but the crystal pillar suddenly reacted again, which made Bai Yi's mood very complicated now, and he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
After a few more moments, the white light disappeared and was replaced by a string of numbers: 100
