"To make a long story short, I can't maintain the secret pattern for long, and it has side effects on the body."

Zhang Xiabing said very quickly: "Speaking of secret patterns, I have to mention a profession, spell carver. They are born with the ability to discover the power contained in the stone and refine it, which is the origin of the secret pattern. And through their hands, they can engrave the secret pattern in the body of the martial artist, so as to stimulate power, and even change people's personality, eliminate people's pain nerves, and so on. ”

"For example, I, while increasing my strength, will also change my personality to be a little more indifferent. However, the secret pattern has extremely strong side effects, its consumption is very large, if you are not a genius or a child of a family who has been trained since childhood, you can't bear this consumption, and you will become crazy. ”

"Enchanter?" Pang Xiao's heart moved: "Can you find these people?" ”

"Generally, there will be special spell carvers in high-level cities, but it is not recommended, because most of them are low-level and intermediate-level spell carvers, with your talent, it would be too wasteful to use low-level secret patterns and intermediate secret patterns."

"Can there only be one type of secret pattern?" Pang Xiao asked.

Zhang Xiabing thought for a moment and said: "The human body has thirty-six trick points that can accommodate secret patterns, and theoretically thirty-six kinds can be engraved, but the consumption of high-grade secret patterns is too great, so it is good to maintain a few." ”

"How many types of secret patterns are there?"

"I don't know, the enchanter is just a profession that only emerged a hundred years ago, and the world is so big that new secret patterns can be discovered almost every day. However, according to the strength and weakness, it can be divided into three levels: low, medium and high. There are three types of ones I have engraved, the high-level amplification secret pattern, the high-level strength rune, and the advanced speed rune, but this amplification secret pattern has also changed my personality and made me more comfortable with combat. "Kneel down and beg for a hundred black *rock* cabinets

"How much does it cost to engrave the Secret Pattern?" Pang Xiao asked.

"The low-level secret pattern needs 30,000 silver dollars, the intermediate level 100,000, and the high-level 300,000."

"So expensive?!"

Pang Xiao was shocked, his total assets were only 30,000, and when he left, he left 20,000 silver dollars at home, not to mention any high-level, a low-level rune could make him bankrupt.

"Is it expensive?" Zhang Xiabing tilted his head and asked.

"Is the family rich?" Pang Xiao said depressedly.

"There has never been such a thing as money, and there has never been a shortage of money since I was a child."

This local tyrant ......

The purple patterns on Zhang Xiabing's body gradually faded, and the fluent appearance before became shy again, lowered his head, and blushed shyly: "That...... That's, ask ...... The problem is ...... It's all over, let's go. ”

Zhang Xiabing has become a little stammerer again.

The power of the secret pattern is so great that it can make a person stronger at the same time, and even change his personality.

Pang Xiao couldn't help but become interested in the profession of spell carver.

……

Three days later, Nam Minh Province, Yinhai City.

Woo –

The top of the train spewed white steam and stopped at the station.

"I ...... I...... Do it yourself...... Come...... That's it. ”

Pang Xiao walked in front with a huge and heavy package on his back, and stammered in a small voice behind him.

"It's okay, I'll take it for you." Pang Xiao smiled slightly.

The station is full of people, everywhere is the shouts of accommodation and eating, brass mixed with gravel paved smooth ground has a unique beauty, and full of industrial pollution and lifeless Fengyue City, Yinhai City is very beautiful, this itself is a city by the sea, standing here from a distance can feel the breath of the sea breeze.

Steam trains and horse-drawn carriages passing by from time to time, various airship styles in the sky, dresses and hats, crutches, and pocket watches on passers-by all reveal a breath of a big city.

The gap between primary and tertiary cities is obvious.

After rejecting three waves of people who asked if they wanted to stay, Pang Xiao stopped a carriage on the side of the road.

"Tired, where is the assessment location of Tianwu Academy?"

"Are you also going to participate in the assessment, it turns out that you are two martial artists, you are all elites who win glory for the country."

As soon as the coachman shook the whip in his hand, the two horses pulling the cart let out a cry of 'sigh', and galloped forward with their hooves.

"At this time of year, people like you will come to participate in the assessment of Tianwu, young is good, and full of vitality."

"The current industry is getting worse and worse, cars are so popular, and there is no market for horse-drawn carriages. A lot of people don't ride in horse-drawn carriages anymore, but horse-drawn carriages are traditional, you say. ”

Pang Xiao kept smiling and patiently listened to the coachman's words, Fengyue City is very small, he hasn't been in a carriage a few times a year, but these coachmen all have a urine nature, that is, they like to talk.

The carriage was speeding through the avenue, and even a small stammerer from a family turned left and right to look at it with an excited look.

"Haven't you been here before?" Pang Xiao couldn't help but ask.

The little stammerer shook his head: "No...... No, I'm just on top ...... Going to school and practicing, no ...... I haven't been far away, and it's ...... It's beautiful. ”

"Little girl, Yinhai City is a high city, and there are many pleasures you can't imagine. But if you really become a student of Tianwu, these things will be easy for you. ”

Pang Xiao was also patronizing left and right, and a hint of fascination flashed in his eyes.

In such a big city, maybe you can buy a big house here in the future, bring your parents and family to live here, and leave the city full of pollution and only a lot of hospitals.

"Here we are."

The carriage stopped, Pang Xiao looked at it, and saw that it was the entrance of a huge metal building, and the plaque on it had a few big words 'Tianwu Assessment Location', and there was a huge long queue at the door.

This is it.

Pang Xiao paid the money and went down with the little stammer, and before they could walk into the long line, they suddenly heard a loud shout at the front.

"You, get out!"

Pang Xiao turned his eyes angrily, and saw a middle-aged man with a serious face pointing outside at the door. In front of him was a pale-faced teenager.

"Why, my physical strengthening skills are excellent, and the art of war is good, and I am qualified to enter the Tianwu Academy. You are insulting Tianwu's reputation and disrespecting the country! The boy perked up and explained aloud.

"Because your bone age is a year older!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man with disdain: "The law of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom stipulates that the age of six is initiated, the age of twelve is to enter the elementary school, and the age of fifteen to graduate and participate in the assessment. And if you are a year older, either you are late to school, or you have practiced for an extra year. ”

"I'm sorry, this is Tianwu Academy, the cradle of the strongest elites, and we fully abide by the laws of the country. If you are too old, or if you practice in advance, you can't do it! If you accept you, you are insulting Tianwu and disrespecting the country! ”

"Now, get out!"

His voice was like thunder, and the young man's body was shaking, and he opened his mouth to defend something, but looking at the middle-aged man's eyes, he couldn't open his mouth.

"You will regret it, Tianwu will not accept me, other places will accept me, and I will definitely defeat Tianwu when the time comes!" The young man gritted his teeth, put down the cruel words and turned his head to leave.

"I admit that you have good qualifications among your peers, but if Tianwu will be defeated by you to this extent, then it will not be the Tianwu Academy that created the first of the seven great powers in the world."

The middle-aged man looked at his back and laughed contemptuously.

This scene was completely watched by Pang Xiao.

"You also started training three years ago?" Pang Xiao asked the little stammerer next to him.

The little stammerer nodded, "...... Before...... Do the basics, then go to ...... I will practice again when I am old. ”

Everyone is three years, even Zhang Xiabing, a small stammerer from a martial arts family, did not practice in advance, just did some basic skills to prepare.

This is the law of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, and at the same time, it is also the rule of the Heavenly Martial Academy.

But Pang Xiao knew that in his school, some students enrolled relatively late, after all, most people didn't take this aspect seriously. Colleges and universities don't care about this aspect, as long as the grades are met.

But Tianwu Academy needs!

They also obey this law of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, and they are extremely strict!
