Volume 1 The Rise of the Apostles 25
Rowe's surroundings were all blue.
He could not see the edge of his vision, as if he were in the ocean, but there were no waves.
His shadow is also blue, but dark blue. As if amused, Rowe bent down and lowered himself to touch his shadow. He felt like he was laughing, but he couldn't touch his face, as if his face was nothing.
The ground under the shadow suddenly ceased to have the same texture as the blue surroundings, and became like a waterhole, with blue and white ripples, and in the ripples, there was a reflection that he couldn't see clearly.
The ripples gradually began to become disordered, and his reflection also shattered in the disorder, turning into fragments that could no longer be connected...
Ah, why is the reflection in my shadow broken? Why?
Suddenly, Luo Wei felt a chill on his face. He looked up.
Ah, it turned out to be raining, blue rain.
The rain washed all around, leaving deep blue rain stains on the blue sky and the blue earth.
After a while, Luo Wei was soaking wet, and the blue around him was deeper, as deep as ink, and then as if he had fallen into a dark purple night...
Water... Rowe felt his feet sink to his ankles with a layer of rainwater.
Originally, only his shadow was under the ground was a layer of liquid, and now, he wanted to take a step forward, but the thick and sticky dark blue rain liquid held him back.
On the surface of the water, where the rain collected, he saw some blurry images of fragments, as if he had seen them in stereoscopic images, though more blurry... In the image, there are earthy, brown and yellow clods; There is a golden, metallic reflection; There's a vague, but writhing tail...
Suddenly, the water surface of the rain rose sharply, and it rose very quickly, as if in June and July, the river was in the middle of the flood season - the raging waves were overflowing. Rowe felt as if he had been paid tribute to the angry river god and had been sunk to the bottom of the river...
Can't breathe until - unconscious...

Luo Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Separated by a layer of transparent tempered glass, a well-behaved and cute little Lori is lying on the glass with two small hands open. Her big dark eyes looked at Luo Wei, and her delicate face was squeezed out of shape by the curved glass cover, leaving a flesh-colored mark on the glass.
Little Lori became excited, and her small mouth opened and closed like a goldfish spitting bubbles.
Although he couldn't hear anything, Luo Wei could tell from the shape of her mouth - "You're awake, brother!" β
The dimmed signal light glows green, and Rovi's treatment ends.
The hatch opens automatically.

Rowe was wearing only a pair of shorts, and the healing fluid had been absorbed, but there were still some pale green stains on his almost completely naked body.
Luo Wei sat up, he felt that most of the side effects of the long-term "ban" had disappeared, and the remaining sour numbness would probably be fine the next day.
Rowe picked up the clothes on the side and put them on. He turned on his microcomputer and checked the time.
"It's so late, I don't know if the school gate is closed, let's go, Yanyan, let's go home."
β¦
"So, what kind of dream is it..."Luo Wei took Miss Luo Yanyan's pink and fleshy little hand, trying his best to recall his dream. He rarely dreams, and most of the dreams he had in the past were not bizarre, but today's...
After walking for a long time, Luo Wei still had no clue.
"Forget it, so be it." Luo Wei came back to his senses and sighed. Only then did he realize that along the way, Miss Luo Yanyan was smiling, humming happily, and taking big steps. Her little red shoes grind on the ground and make a cute "doo-doo" sound.
Luo Wei smiled, raised his sister Luo Yanyan high with both hands, and spun around several times, completely ignoring the surprised gazes of passers-by.
Luo Wei's actions made Miss Luo Yanyan, who was flying in mid-air, giggle.

On the fifth day of the race, only 80 of the 320 remained. Now, if you play 10 rounds a day, you can move on to the next round.
The schedule is out, the third round, rounds 1-5 in the morning, and rounds 6-10 in the afternoon. Rowe's number 55 this time was in the bottom half, and it was clear that his sluggish and embarrassed performance in the second round underestimated his potential. And he was also removed from the list of candidates for the top 10 seeds.
In the 5 rounds of matches held in the morning, the strength of both sides was relatively close, among them, Qiao Anning, who was still No. 20, performed the most eye-catching.
She spreads [Water] in the form of mist, and then attacks the opponent who has lost vision in a sneak attack. Then, after consuming most of her opponent's holy energy, she used [Cold] to thicken the opponent's side, and the dense fog half a meter away from her body was almost invisible, and it quickly froze into an ice prison. The ice prison became more and more solid, and finally the opponent was completely sealed inside a huge block of ice.
The audience could not see the situation inside the fog clearly, but through the "thermal image monitoring function" in the image monitoring and capture equipment and the "real-time imaging simulation" technology of the enterprise-level computer, the simulated image with a slight delay was presented in the sky above the apostle teaching and training hall.
"If the opponent has Yang Mu's [Scorching Heat], or Huangqin and Yiqi's [Fire], then her tactics are completely useless." Luo Wei pinched his chin and said.
"Qiao Anning has the rest of her [Holy Energy], and even if the opponent has [Fire] or [Searing], with her control, it shouldn't be a problem to develop a new set of effective tactics." Jin Duoduo Dao.
"Indeed." Luo Wei nodded.

The two sides of all the games in the afternoon, judging from the arrangement of the student management committee according to the performance of the apostles, should almost be the opposite positions with a relatively large gap in strength, and the excitement is likely not to be high.
After all, the apostles in the second half of the upper half will become stronger and stronger, and the apostles in the first half of the lower half will become weaker and weaker. But it is not excluded that there will be dark horses emerging and can have a fierce duel with the people in the upper half.
The first 5 rounds of the game were held in the morning, and in the 6th round of the afternoon game, the duel between No. 24 and No. 57 - No. 57, Zishu, who belongs to the same lower half of the district as Luo Wei, finally won with difficulty. This is also the first time that a player from the bottom half of the tournament has beaten the top half of the game since the third round.
The Purple Tree's Holy Energy was very strange, and even in a way, it was even stranger than Jin Duoduo beside Luo Wei.
Purple Tree moved around the arena, and every apostle watching the game could see Purple Tree's movements, but somehow, Purple Tree's opponent Yang Xi always seemed to be two or three beats slower before noticing Purple Tree. After perceiving it, the elemental energy released by it is always off. But with a ranking like No. 24, Yang Xi obviously doesn't look like an apostle who would make such a mistake.
And the general strategy adopted by Purple Tree's game was also the same as Qiao Anning's, they were all consuming the opponent's holy energy at the beginning.
And when it was close to the final stage of the game, an even more bizarre scene appeared - Yang Xi's clothes seemed to come to life, and began to desperately struggle to pull Yang Xi's body around, as if to leave Yang Xi.
The last clothes on her body were almost all ripped off in the sound of tearing - you must know that Yang Xi is a girl...
Under the eyes of the audience or angry, or nostalgic, in the exclamation of Yang Xi, in the end, Zishu, who looked harmless to humans and animals, and looked like a shy teenager, won the victory.
Yang Xi clutched her bare chest and chose to surrender. Fortunately, Yang Xi's fleshy elastic legs, the little shorts in between, were mercilessly preserved by Zishu's subordinates, otherwise...
The shy and sunny boy eventually gained a lot of eyes - awe, admiration, appreciation, contempt, fear... And so on.

"If only I had the ability...", Jin Duoduo cast an envious gaze.
Luo Wei couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"But what is the apostle called the Purple Tree? Although he won a bit of a trick, he ran in the field, why did Yang Xi always look like he couldn't see him. It seems that she always comes to the end and discovers the purple tree. Luo Wei squinted, puzzled.
"And his holy energy should not be [invisible], if the purple tree is invisible, then we should not be able to see him. And if Yang Xi didn't have perspective or probe, such a reconnaissance holy energy, Zishu would be invisible, and her reaction should be slower, or even unable to find a direction at all. Instead of being able to grasp the approximate location of the purple tree like just now, although the release of her holy energy was still a little off. Rowe muttered.
Jin Duoduo listened to Luo Wei's muttering, smiled, took a sip of the drink developed by his own company, and said, "That's not [stealth], but to some extent, it is a much more useful holy energy than [stealth]. β
"You know?" Luo Wei looked at Jin Duoduo and asked.
Jin Duoduo nodded and said, "That's [Cognitive Impairment]." β
"[Cognitive Impairment]?" Rowe was puzzled, he had heard such a strange name for the first time.
"Try to understand what that means." Jin Duoduo smiled, and didn't immediately tell Luo Wei the answer, he wanted Luo Wei to give his own guess.
Rowe buried his head in thought.
"Visually impaired... Barriers to awareness? Could it be that it can cut off Yangxi's perception of the outside world? Yes, indeed... We can clearly see every movement of the purple tree when we sit here, but Yang Xi seems to be invisible, a bit like the feeling of 'a leaf blocking the eyes' - a leaf blocking the eyes, not seeing Mount Tai, Yang Xi's cognition of the 'purple tree' is all blocked and cut off! However, this is not like stealth, when Zishu reaches a certain angle, a certain position, and a certain distance, Yang Xi can still grasp the existence of Zishu. If Zishu is invisible, although he will have a sound when he moves, Yang Xi will not see it at all! This is just a kind of blinding. And we, the onlookers, are outside the obscured leaf because of the different angles! β
Jin Duoduo slapped his face, with a smile on his slightly round face, and said, "That's right, that's pretty much it!" However, it is not necessarily a trick to say that it is a trick. The blinding method is still very inferior, but as I told you just now, in a way, [Awareness Obscure] is much more useful than [Stealth]. β
Jin Duoduo said: "[Cognitive Impairment] can not only confuse the other party's vision, hearing, smell, and even touch and taste, the opponent marked by [Cognitive Impairment] will be completely paralyzed. Stealth, you can't do that. In other words, for Yang Xi, the person 'Purple Tree' completely disappeared from her world! [Invisibility] conceals the vision of everyone except oneself; And [cognitive impairment] is aimed at one person, or a small number of peopleβall six senses and possibly seven or eight senses. β
"However, at some point, Yang Xi still seems to be able to grasp the general location of the purple tree..."Luo Wei was still a little puzzled at some points.
Jin Duoduo shook his head and said, "The difficulty of using [Awareness Barrier] is very high, and the purple tree's holy energy control may not have reached a very high level, and sometimes, he loosens the 'thread' that connects Yang Xi. Otherwise, he could even become the most feared killer or assassin in the world. β
Jin Duoduo paused and said, "When Zishu used [Awareness Barrier], he was actually not manipulating a single 'thread' woven by Holy Energy, but manipulating many roots!" - The line that covers the other person's vision, the line that covers the other person's sense of hearing, smell, taste, touch, and even pain, and probably the most difficult of all, the sixth sense, the line of feeling. β
"Multitasking, you can imagine the difficulty of this kind of holy energy control." Jin Duoduo Dao.
Luo Wei turned his head and looked at Zi Shu who was sitting in the front row of the contestants, thoughtful.
