The bus drove unhurriedly, and the windows of the bus were black that could not be seen. Everything is as they were when they came, unaware of the changes in the outside world.

However, unknown things will always cause the infinite reverie of some curious people, Qin Ming is like this, although he can't see the situation outside, but in his mind he is full of imagination.

I feel that the academy must be in charge of a spatial door that can normally enter and exit the multi-layered worlds. Entering the multi-layered world from reality is likely to be a matter of moments, and as for the bus they are on, it is likely that there is nothing special in itself, it should just be a means of transportation.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming's gaze couldn't help but look ahead, and he saw that the windshield was also covered by a piece of black. But the driver still held the steering wheel, as if his vision was not blocked.

The more he came into contact with these men in black, the more he realized that these guys were a batch of emotionless robots. His eyes are glazed, his expression is stiff, his movements are mechanical, and even when he speaks, it is as if he has been programmed to speak, and there are only a few sentences back and forth.

Although many times he would feel that these people in black were very indebted and hated them as the spokespersons of the school, but thinking that these people were probably the same as them before, but after being brainwashed by the school to become what they are today because of their grades not meeting the standards, or some other reasons, he felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

Because these men in black are really no different from marionettes, they are completely pinched by the academy.

He remembered that the Jieshigang had told him that the sophomore and junior years were a difficult hurdle to overcome, because once his grades did not meet the standards at the end of the school year, he would be punished by the college.

And the punishment is nothing more than three kinds, one is to be directly sucked dry by the academy to make a spirit stone, and the other is to become sneaky like Cheng Yuan and put into the scene in reality. As for the last one, they are absorbed by the Ministry of Supervision and become those soulless men in black.

Obviously, no matter what the ending is, it's not a good end. So for them, if they want to continue the possibility of survival, they must meet the conditions for advancing to the third year, otherwise it is better to find a place to hang themselves.

Qin Ming sighed in his heart, and he didn't think about those future things for the time being, because thinking too much really gave him a headache. He rubbed his temples vigorously, and then turned on the spiritual energy cultivation function and examined the situation of the two spiritual powers in his body.

Because he didn't use the dark attribute spiritual power much, there was no reduction in reserves, and because after the ghost eye devoured the black ball, his dark attribute had begun to seep into his skin.

Although the academy divides psionics into three strength lines: spirit level, spirit infant level, and spirit heaven level, there is actually a spirit level before the spirit level.

It refers to those who give birth to spiritual power, but do not condense the spiritual body. Like those freshmen, almost all of them are at this level. In his sophomore year, Qin Ming didn't have a lot of contact with people, and he hadn't even learned about this aspect of things, so he didn't have a concept in his heart at the moment.

But just from the strength of Liu Yao and the others, it must be that even in the sophomore range, there will not be many people who can reach the spirit level. It should just be a rarity.

Because the spirit level is like the spirit level transition, the biggest problem is the reserve of spiritual power. It is necessary to fill all the acupuncture points in the body with its spiritual power, and only in this way will the spiritual power replenished in the future penetrate into the skin, so as to strengthen the body again.

The spirit stone itself is very difficult to obtain, and coupled with the consumption in the event, at most it can only be slightly increased compared to before the last event. And there are many of them with poor cultivation talent, and when they are replenished through spirit stones, they will cause a lot of overflow, so every time the event ends, not only will the reserves of spiritual power not increase, but will become more and more scarce.

Like Wang Sizai, although they were promoted to the sophomore year earlier, they were almost the same as them in terms of strength, and even inferior, a large part of the reason was in their cultivation talent.

So the sophomore year is not like the freshman, everyone's strength is about the same, even if it is a little worse, it is far less than a level difference. But in the sophomore year, it is different, two people with strong and weak strength, not to mention a level difference, or even two levels.

Because the standard for entering the junior year is to enter the spirit infant level. In terms of conditions, it can be said that it is high and scary.

Although he is not worried about the dark attribute, he is very worried about his fire attribute, because the fire attribute is not like the dark attribute, and each event can be greatly replenished. In addition, his fire attribute is the relationship between the best fire spirit, and the spirit stone he needs must also be the best spirit stone, so unless he has a mine at home, let alone enter the spirit infant level in a short time, the possibility of even entering the spirit level is very small.

In this incident, his fire spirit was consumed again, although it was not almost completely hollowed out like he had done with Qian Li before, but it was not something that ordinary spirit stones could make up for it very quickly.

The event reward for the sophomore year will not be given at the beginning, but after the event, it will be announced according to the results of the school's audit, although Liu Yao said that the reward given by the school is not difficult to make up for the consumption, but he also has no bottom in his heart, after all, the material standards of the two of them are different.

The value of a top-grade spirit stone is even higher than ten ordinary spirit stones combined. So if it was really like what Liu Yao said to him at the beginning, everyone's reward was the same, then he would definitely lose his life.

The only hope is to see if the supermarket organization will provide him with some funding.

Qin Ming was quite uncomfortable in his heart about his current situation. Because the dark attribute is getting stronger and stronger, I think that after he goes back and absorbs the black stone, his dark attribute is likely to directly enter the spirit level. But helplessly, the dark attribute can't be easily revealed, so let alone that the dark attribute has reached the spirit level, even if it reaches the spirit infant level, he can only treat it as if it doesn't exist in front of the academy.

So the most important thing is still in the aspect of fire spirit ascension.

His mind was completely immersed in how to quickly improve the fire spirit, and before he knew it, the bus had stopped steadily.

The blackness on the windows faded, letting in the sunlight outside.

"Arrived?"

Yi Shaodong jumped up from the chair, ran to the window and glanced outside, and then said to Qin Ming:

"I'm back, it's the toll booth we passed by when we left."

"Hmm." Qin Ming nodded, and at this time he also stretched his waist and stood up, seeing that Qin Ming looked like he was fine, Yi Shaodong hurriedly reminded him:

"Are you alright?"

"What?"

"You're all back, why don't you hurry up and report to Sister An's safety."
