Chapter 158: Tree Rings

"I heard that Ah Mu, your mentor is a hidden powerhouse. ”

Luo Shen continued.

"But the force of a single person, unless it reaches the level of the legendary martial god, will not be able to fight against such a behemoth as the family after all, and only the power can contend with it, as long as you become a member of the annual ring and speak out in an organized manner, the Cao family will not dare to disadvantage you again. ”

"I hope you've thought about it. ”

Du Mu stared at Luo Shen for a long time, and then sighed after a while: "You have told me so much about the annual ring, can you still not let me join?

Luo Shen immediately said: "I can assure you of this, whether to join or not is a voluntary decision for you, and we will not force you." ”

"What's more, these things I just said are not secretive, those who know already know it, and those who don't know ......," Luo Shen smiled and continued, "Even if you tell them that such an organization exists, I guess they won't believe it." ”

Du Mu thought about it, if someone told him before today that there was an organization in the world that could wrestle with the tripolar countries, his first reaction was probably that this person was talking nonsense.

After pondering for a few seconds, Du Mu asked, "If I join the annual ring, what obligations do I need to bear, and what rights do I have?"

Seeing that Du Mu's tone was somewhat relaxed, Luo Shen perked up and said with a smile: "The members of the annual ring are divided into three types: core members, ordinary members and peripheral members, not to mention the core members and peripheral members, the relationship between ordinary members and the organization is not so much a subordinate as a subordinate relationship, in fact, it is more inclined to a cooperative relationship, and while contributing to the organization, it also enjoys the benefits of the organization." ”

"If you are an ordinary member, you only need to complete the tasks released by the organization once a month, and the difficulty of the tasks depends on the level of the members. ”

"What about the benefits?" Du Mu asked, this was what he was most concerned about, if the benefits that the annual rings could bring him were not as good as those of the Star Luo Academy, then there was naturally no need to join.

Luo Shen seemed to see what Du Mu was thinking, and nodded heavily: "A lot, just in terms of cultivation resources, it is much stronger than Xingluo Academy, no matter how good Xingluo Academy is, it is just a martial arts university, and it is definitely not comparable to a national-level behemoth like the annual ring, 99.9% of the materials in the world can be exchanged for it in the annual ring, even if you don't, you can also apply for the annual ring to send people to search, provided that you have enough merit." ”

"Meritorious?"

"It's about the same as house points. ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Du Mu's face.

"As long as you have enough merit, you can ask the annual ring to help you do anything, martial arts, exercises, money and power, and even if you want to be a high-ranking federal official, the annual ring can help you operate!"

Du Mu was secretly speechless when he heard it, even a high-ranking official of a country can be exchanged, and the energy of this annual ring is inevitably too great.

However, he also knew that in order to achieve this goal, the number of meritorious deeds required was probably not a small amount.

In fact, hearing this, Du Mu had already agreed to join the annual ring for eight points in his heart, after all, he really needed a backstage to protect himself.

There is a dream, he is confident that his potential is not inferior to anyone in the world, but before he grows up, he is also very fragile, just like tonight, Cao Haoxuan in order to vent his anger and revenge, a five-star martial artist sent at random almost killed him.

This kind of weakness that his life will be crushed by others at any time, Du Mu really doesn't want to experience it again.

If he joins the annual ring, at least he has the hole cards to compete with the enemy.

What's more, the resources of the annual ring can also help him quickly improve his strength, although it also needs to pay a price.

Thinking of this, Du Mu took a breath without a trace, and said with his head bowed: "Okay, I promise to join the annual ring." ”

Hearing this, Luo Shen had a happy smile on his face.

"So, are there any requirements for joining the annual ring?" Du Mu asked again.

"If you are introduced by ordinary members, you first need to pass the verification of observers, like Amu, you are generally a test of strength. When Luo Shen said this, he turned his head to look at Xu Yun, who had been silently and concentrating on drinking.

Seeing the eyes of the two, Xu Yun waved his hand with a big grin.

"It's up to me what I'm doing, the power of your friend's blow just now is no less than that of a four-star martial artist, and he has such strength at such a young age, he must have passed the test!"

Luo Shen smiled slightly, and continued to look at Du Mu: "After the observer level is passed, you only need to complete the tasks issued by an organization, and you can officially become an ordinary member of the annual ring!"

Du Mu nodded, and asked again after a while: "I heard you just say that the core members and the peripheral members, what is the difference between these two types and ordinary members?"

This brings us to the membership system of the annual rings. ”

Luo Shen came slowly.

"The peripheral members are basically members trained or recruited by the annual rings themselves, most of them serve as logistics and grassroots combatants, and have a subordinate relationship with the annual rings, while ordinary members, as I just said, are only cooperative relations with the annual rings, and only need to complete the assigned tasks and implement the requirements of the annual rings under special circumstances, and they can enjoy the benefits of the organization. ”

"The core members are more closely related to the annual rings, and it can be said that they have more obligations and more rights!"

"The current member level of the annual ring, from low to high, is 'moon, fire, water, wood, metal, earth, and day' six Yao levels, the first four Yao levels are peripheral members and ordinary members, and the last three Jinyao, Earth Yao and Sun Yao are the levels exclusive to the core members!"

"Like Lao Shark, he is the core member of the Jin Yao level! and I, at present, am still at the Mu Yao level. ”

"The higher cadre level belongs to the core and senior level of the annual ring. ”

That is to say. Du Mu touched his chin and groaned, "If you want to break into the core high-level, you must at least become the highest Riyao level first?"

"That's right. Luo Shen said.

Xu Yun took a big sip of wine and burped, and then said lazily: "How can the sun level be so easy to reach?"

"Luo Shen Kid has become a Mu Yao level because of his identity as a direct son of the Luo family, otherwise with his strength of less than a four-star level, he will be a Shui Yao level at the top of the sky. ”

"Huh?" Du Mu keenly caught the key words in Xu Yun's words, and glanced at Luo Shen suspiciously

Less than a four-star level, which means that Luo Shen's strength has reached the three-star level?

But according to the strength he showed in the ranking battle, he was only at the two-star level at most, so what was the reason for his hidden strength?

Xu Shark said to himself: "A pure martial artist like us can only rely on strength to improve the level of members, even Lao Shark and I, a six-star martial artist, are only at the Jin Yao level, you two three- and four-star boys, you are still far from becoming a sunshine level!"

Luo Shen smiled: "We are still young. ”

Xu Yun's expression was stunned, he glared at Luo Shen, and continued to pour wine.

Ignoring him, Luo Shen continued to explain.

"According to the rules of the organization, the four-star strength of the martial artist to join, the minimum is to start as a Muyao-level member, as long as Ah Mu you complete the corresponding level of tasks in the next month, you can immediately become a Muyao-level member of the annual ring. ”

"And right now there's just such a task!"

Du Mu raised his eyebrows: "What task?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Luo Shen's face.

"Remember the ranked battle prizes the academy gave us?"

"Pyroxene?" Du Mu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted, "The mission is related to the northern ruins?"

Luo Shen bowed, "That's right, the discovery of pyroxene is already a well-known thing, all the big forces want to intervene, and the annual ring is naturally inevitable, not long ago, I released the task of collecting information related to northern ruins and pyroxene, as well as pyroxene samples, you can just take it." ”

"That said, but the students sent by the academy to the Northern Ruins are all third- and fourth-year students, and they don't even have to join the second-year students, not to mention that we are in the first year. ”

"Don't worry, I've already received the news that the conflict in the northern ruins is gradually intensifying, and the top management of the academy has decided to send second-year students to join the exploration of the northern ruins at the beginning of the second semester, and they will go to the top 8 in this first-year ranking battle. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Shen showed a look that seemed to be smiling.

"Otherwise, why do you think the academy wants pyroxene as a ranking battle reward this year?"

"If we want to motivate us, we have to first experience the powerful effects of pyroxene. ”

The corners of Du Mu's mouth twitched, but he didn't expect that the top management of the academy secretly had such an idea.

However, in terms of strength alone, the strength of the top 8 in the first grade has indeed surpassed that of most ordinary second-year students, and even compared with some of the elite students ranked lower in the top 100 in the second grade, it is logical to join the exploration of the northern ruins.

"There are twenty days left until the start of Term 2, so you can be ready in the meantime. Luo Shen smiled, "If it's just an intelligence gathering task, it should be easy to complete with your strength, so you don't need to worry too much." ”

"One thing to warn you about, though. ”

Luo mythical wind changed, and his expression showed a bit of solemnity.

"In the future, in battle, unless you hide your identity, or when you are at a moment of life and death, it is best not to easily reveal your extraordinary ability!"

Extraordinary abilities?

Du Mu's expression moved, recalling the battle with Xu Yun not long ago, he seemed to have mentioned the word transcendental.

"The Transcendent..... Do you mean people with extraordinary abilities?"

"That's right, like the gray mist you just cast. ”

Xu Yun on the side suddenly spoke.

"There are countless manifestations of extraordinary abilities, and they are also very weird, such as the ability to greatly increase the weight of the opponent's weapon, the ability to manipulate light, and there are many types, because these abilities are basically self-awakening and have nothing to do with martial arts, so they are called extraordinary abilities. ”

And those who possess these abilities are collectively referred to as transcendental. ”
