Five hundred and twenty-nine years of the Seven Seas calendar.

Sky Sea. Azure Island, Azure Academy.

At this time, it was late June, the summer was scorching, and a round of scorching sun was shining directly in the sky.

The dazzling light did not care about the suffering of living beings, as if it were actually piercing every inch of the skin of all living beings on the thick earth under the firmament.

Wide, verdant leaves rustle in the wind. The people standing in the shade of the trees had been steamed by the heat like frosted eggplants. The air on the surface has begun to distort, and the people in it, no matter how good their temper is, will inevitably want to leave quickly and hide in a cool place to relieve the heat. If you are haunted by such a steaming heat for a while, the nameless fire in your heart will also burn the prairie and ruthlessly devour the only peace in your heart.

But there are people who are so heart-wrenching that it doesn't make people feel better.

Just as Lu Gaoqing and his party were on their way to the academy training hall, Xun Qiu flashed out from the side, blocking their way.

Lu Gaoqing, who was standing at the head of the crowd, had his eyes locked and was full of doubts. Xun Qiu has often been dangling in front of his eyes intentionally or unintentionally recently, which makes him upset, and he doesn't know what kind of heart he has. Now he suddenly stopped the group again, but he didn't speak.

The two groups faced each other silently under the blazing sun.

A warm breeze blew, and a few beads of sweat oozed from everyone's foreheads.

"Hey! Boy, what do you want to say now?! Lu Gaoqing's eyes narrowed, and a trace of bad premonition drifted through his heart.

Xun Qiu's behavior in the past few days is really a bit abnormal. It's like the script that originally bullied the weak with the strong, but after a certain point in time, he and Xun Qiu both reversed the script.

Xun Qiu ignored him, just looked at the three lines of small words in front of him:

[Select Mission 05.] 】

[Option 1: Slippery whiskers and flattery. Reward: Grade E. 】

[Option 2: Seek words to provoke and provoke the opponent.] Reward: Grade B. 】

Xun Qiu's eyes locked on the two options, and after thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion. He wasn't a man to please. What's more, option one is an E-level reward. Don't do what he thinks, choose two.

"Let's go......" Looking at Xun Qiu, who was gentle but motionless, Lu Gaoqing waved his hand angrily and said. He was already tired of Xun Qiu's unprovoked harassment. Although he used to use words to ridicule Xun Qiu, he would not stare at the same person every day. Occasionally, when he finds it boring, he will change his taste. But Xun Qiu is not, he seems to have hit himself, like a shadow, and he can't get rid of it.

Lu Gaoqing had just taken a small step when he heard Xun Qiu finally speak:

"Nine days to the moon ......"

Lu Gaoqing: "? ”

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xun Qiu.

I saw Xun Qiu's eyes flashing, half-covering his cheek with his right palm, and looking up at the sky.

Lu Gaoqing's ghost made a difference, and he also followed Xun Qiu's gaze and turned to the cloudless blue sky. Just as he was in a daze for a moment in the empty sky, and there was a feeling of being fooled, Xun Qiu's soft but clear voice came from his ears:

"Go down to the four seas to catch you."

Lu Gaoqing: "! ”

As soon as he heard Xun Qiu's words, his originally beautiful face suddenly turned red with anger, and twisted together, and his fire-breathing eyes were even a few points better than the scorching sun. His blue hair stood on end like an electric shock, his nose was heavy, his chest was heaving, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles were white. The whole body trembled involuntarily.

He couldn't take it anymore.

This hideous appearance of people not approaching and idlers retreating, even the few companions standing beside him felt faintly afraid.

Compared with Lu Gaoqing's ferocity and viciousness, Xun Qiu, who was standing in front of him, seemed to be complacent.

A few drops of hot sweat slid down Xun Qiu's cheeks, paused for a moment at the corner of his slightly raised mouth, and continued to run down his chin.

Before he came, he knew in his heart that Lu Gaoqing was always accompanied by six or seven people. Although it is dangerous, at this juncture, no matter what kind of "choice" is triggered, he must give it a go.

As long as you can achieve your set goals, this pain is still worth suffering.

Sure enough, a line of small light-colored words lit up in front of his eyes:

[Complete Choice Task 05, Option 2 to get the B-level reward: Nameless Perception Breakthrough Secret Method.] 】

At that moment, the perceptual breakthrough secret method was like a coherent light and shadow, and a puff of information kept pouring into his mind, allowing him to comprehend the use of the secret method in an instant.

I didn't expect that there was such a special secret method, which was much more efficient than the rewards obtained from the previous choices.

The smile on Xun Qiu's face was even worse. His smile was so unscrupulous and unencumbered, completely ignoring Lu Gaoqing, who was about to be split in front of him.

This contemptuous attitude of treating himself as nothing only annoyed Lu Gaoqing even more. His heart was as anxious as a volcanic eruption, his brows were furrowed as high as a mountain, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his tightly pursed lips finally twitched for half a moment, and he gritted his teeth and shouted:

"If you have the guts, you can say it again!!"

When Xun Qiu heard this, he finally locked his eyes on Lu Gaoqing in front of him.

Oops, that's not good!

It's okay, it's all a small scene.

"What's that, Lao Lu, I'll go for a ...... first" Xun Qiu protected his hands in front of him, sneering on his face, but his feet had already taken a step back in an instant, and he had the posture of immediately slipping away.

Before his "step" could be sounded, he felt a sudden darkness in front of him.

Faintly, he only saw Lu Gaoqing, who was grinning and trying to devour himself alive, waved his arms, and the six or seven ruffian boys around him flew over and surrounded him, and their fists and feet fell on him like raindrops, crackling and not lively.

The stormy siege lasted for about ten minutes before it gradually subsided.

Lu Gaoqing, who had not lost his breath, pushed aside the people who were beating Xun Qiu, and went up and kicked a few more times to relieve his hatred, before he reluctantly stopped under the pull of his companions.

"Lu Shao, it's almost done...... If you fight again, something will happen. A young man named Cao Yan beside Lu Gaoqing grabbed his arm and persuaded in a low voice.

Lu Gaoqing tilted his head, his eyes were as sharp as knives, forcing Cao Yan back half a step, and then turned his face again, looking at Xun Qiu who was curled up on the ground like a puddle of mud with a suspicious face.

He really can't figure it out, Xun Qiu, who swallows his anger no matter how he ridicules and mocks on weekdays, has he eaten bear-hearted leopard gall recently, and he is actually anti-guest-oriented, constantly dangling in front of him, and even provoking him head-on today?

Lu Gaoqing had already lost a lot of anger, but when he looked closely, he found that Xun Qiu who was lying on the ground was still laughing!

It's all hurt like this, and you can still laugh?

Lu Gaoqing was a little stupid.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he began to laugh in anger.

"I see! You kid is looking for death! Everyone knows what day it is! You know that you will definitely not be able to pass today's hurdle, so you deliberately look for a beating, trying to drag through today with injuries, right? ”

"You said it earlier! Master Ben likes to be helpful the most! Sure to keep you satisfied! ”

Lu Gaoqing half-bowed down and knocked Xun Qiu's head with his right index finger.

"There's no need to do this!"

"I'm telling you, it's not that easy to die! We still have a chance to play slowly! Let's go! ”

Lu Gaoqing shook his clothes, stepped over Xun Qiu, who was hunched over like a shrimp, and after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn around and spat on the ground.

When the laughter of a group of people gradually moved away, Xun Qiu unfolded his body and lay flat on the ground like a large zigzag. His eyes sparkled with a dazzling glow, echoing the blazing sun above the blue sky.

"Haha......"

"This selection task really hurts the body......"

"If it weren't for the increase in physical dimension in the selection task reward a few days ago, it really wouldn't have survived!"

The corners of Xun Qiu's mouth with a wry smile slid down a trace of bright red blood.

In fact, he could have fought back just now.

But he thought about it. If you fight back, you won't really be able to get a result for a while. Although he looks thin, after his physique has increased, he is actually quite leathery, and he is half a head taller than Lu Gaoqing. Coupled with the reactions and skills he has exercised countless times on the edge of life and death, not to mention beating all the other party down, it is easy to let Lu Gaoqing have a blue nose and a swollen face and no face.

The reason why he didn't do it was because he felt that it was completely unnecessary. Anyway, let Lu Gaoqing get angry, and it's over. This kind of fight, which almost does not hurt the muscles and bones, is like playing at home in his eyes. He didn't pay attention to it at all.

As if he had never been injured, Xun Qiu sat up straight, his eyes slightly closed because of the dazzling sunlight.

"It's okay, it's okay. This beating was finally not in vain. ”

"I wanted to brush the selection task to increase some perceptual dimensionality, but I didn't expect to directly obtain the secret method!"

"God will not forget me!"

In order to break through his perception to the first level, he has suffered a lot in the past two days.

From time to time, he dangled in front of Lu Gaoqing. There was a word that answered him.

He didn't want to harass Lu Gaoqing so often, this kind of behavior was too dangerous. Helplessly, it has now reached the critical moment of whether or not to successfully close the course. If you fail today, your next chance will be a year from now. He didn't want to waste his time. Either way, he has to pass the perceptual test today.

Finally......

Hard work pays off!

Xun Qiu sighed.

The road of broken fate is not so easy to walk!

If one is not careful, and is passively reincarnated, then it is laughable and generous.

Xun Qiu propped up his bony and numb body, walked with staggering steps, and walked to the depths of a shady and uninhabited bush on the side of the road, and sat on his back against the tree.

In his mind, he went through the nameless perception breakthrough secret method from beginning to end.

This secret method is not something that requires years of cultivation. It's like a key, the key to breaking through perception.

The method of breaking through perception, of course, was taught by their first teacher class on the first day of school. It is also the method taught in the academy, and most of the students in his class easily break through and succeed and reach the first level. And he is like a blind man touching an elephant, always missing the point. It's as if almost all of them have the same key on their locks, except for his lock.

But now it's different. He has obtained the secret method of breaking through perception. As long as the perception reaches level 1 and passes today's assessment, then you will become an official A Master! Isn't it beautiful!

Xun Qiu sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, his breath and breathing, adjusting his breath. Then, through the method described in the secret method, the perception and breakthrough are carried out at a glance.

I don't know who created this secret method, but once I use it, it is as if there is a torrent in my body, rampage through the eight veins of the five internal organs. With every collision, all the nerve endings in his body become more agile, and his perception of the world is more nuanced. Needless to say, this secret method was much more subtle than the breakthrough methods taught in their academy.

For a moment, he seemed to feel like he was out of his body, looking at everything around him from a different angle.

In the special world built by perception, everything that surrounds him has faded its inherent color, and even gray and unpretentious, turning into a virtual shadow. On the contrary, the subtle flow of air itself, like wisps of pale white wavy velvet light, is so clear. The small green leaf flowers, swaying in the breeze, have become the protagonists in this colorless world. The fluffy light outlined by the flow of air highlights them in another way. Although this world is not as exciting as the real world, the slightest change caused by the flow of air cannot escape his perception. This feeling is simply subtle and indescribable.

As he continued to experience this special perspective of looking at all things, the torrent finally broke through the shackles of his vision. His perception was like a transparent ball, suddenly exploding, and the range he could perceive was several times more than before.

Before he tried the secret method, his perception range was two or three meters away from him, and even if he was highly concentrated, he couldn't sketch too many details at all. This kind of perceptual ability, not to mention passing the perceptual assessment, is inferior even to those children who have just entered the academy to learn the perceptual exercise method.

But now, his perception has broken through, and the perception range has reached more than ten meters, which should be enough for him to pass the perception assessment.

Satisfied, Xun Qiu finally laughed happily.

This is a pleasure, which can be regarded as a preliminary breaking of the shackles of fate.

The corners of Xun Qiu's mouth rose, he stood up, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and walked towards the training hall of the academy with excitement.
