Chapter 10 Competition
A faint orange light condenses in the air, turning into a translucent barrier, and the sun-colored flame flows over it, dividing into beauty.
"It's finished." Jiang Shang took a deep breath, the learning of the shield technique was far easier than expected, and in less than a day, he had successfully mastered the basic soul technique of this cyan system.
Unexpectedly, he continued, only to find that this soul skill was worthless to him.
The soul color itself is far from the cyan soul power, and the strength of this barrier can probably only be described as better than nothing, it can be pierced with a light punch, and the gorgeous soul color itself is the natural enemy of the invisible shield.
Whether it is sudden or hard, Jiang Shang's shield technique is far inferior to the barrier generated by the soul energy shield of the Great Road Cargo Soul.
"Well, it's not that the mathematical formula alone has no effect, but it's indispensable when solving difficult problems, although I can't use it now, but I have mastered it as a theoretical reserve."
Jiang Shang's shield technique might as well be to directly take a soul energy shield, but the next soul skill, the Otherworldly Voice, is a very useful basic soul skill.
The basic soul skill is just the basic application of the soul color, and the cyan soul color, also known as the enchantment system, represents the two opposite concepts of "separation (boundary)" and "connection (knot)".
"Saying": Boundary, realm. The dividing line between Wu Shijie and Bi Shijie is the boundary.
The basic use of the separation (boundary) is this shield technique to resist attacks, which forms a layer of soul energy barrier, separating the two on the opposite side of the barrier.
On the contrary, it is the connection after the barrier is opened.
The basic application of the reaction "connection" is the otherworldly voice, which has two common uses, one is to designate a specific location, where his voice appears, as if it were a communication from the otherworld.
The other utility is even more practical, he can let two soul cultivators use soul stones as a medium. Make a short call.
Although there are many shortcomings, this is indeed a necessary soul skill for professional night watchmen.
As mentioned before, the basic soul technique is the foundation of the high-star soul technique, and it also represents the development direction of the high-star soul technique.
The development of shield art (realm) is a variety of enchantment builders, armorers who are good at defense.
Otherworldly Voices (knots), this direction is studied to the depths, and it can even communicate with the Otherworld, summoning allies from the Otherworld, the so-called space magicians. It also appeared in this direction.
But this time, Jiang Shang ran into some trouble.
"Ah, I can't even understand the basic formulas and principles, and I still need spatial imagination and three-dimensional spatial positioning.
Just to form a barrier, claim to have mastered the shield technique? That's too much to underestimate the basic soul technique that is the cornerstone of everything.
Casually use soil to pinch a house is also a house, but and reinforced concrete house. Neither the composition nor the material is the same thing, and the natural defense capabilities are completely incomparable.
The Otherworldly Voice has already touched on the mysteries of space, and there are more relevant knowledge that needs to be supplemented, which is even more troublesome.
The cyan soul technique is already quite difficult. But Jiang Shang chose him for a reason.
"With that Star Soul Technique, I'm still going to choose the Xuanwu position, then. Not to mention anything else, the shield technique must be practiced at least until home. It seems that the entire course of study will be completed in one year. It's really difficult. ”
Completing four years of study at the Night's Watch Preparatory Academy in one year, Jiang Shang's rhetoric may seem arrogant, but it may be inconceivable in the eyes of others, but in his mind, it is a matter of course.
Because, the people around him have already done it.
There is the so-called academic theory school, and naturally there is also the Yeluzi school based on self-study, Sun Hongling, Qi Lier, and Lulu sisters, all completed their studies on the battlefield.
Battlefield faction, everything is aimed at practicality, what theory, what principle will not be talked about, just teach you the basic usage is enough, first survive from the battlefield, redundant, have time to figure it out yourself.
Ordinary night watchmen are from compulsory education elementary schools (or warrior training academies that specialize in training gifted children) - night watchman preparatory colleges - top colleges (Penglai), so that along the way, not everyone can finish it, but halfway through, they are already qualified fighters, and the further back they go, the stronger they become.
The battlefield faction is much simpler and more direct, rookie soldiers who use ordinary soul equipment - ordinary non-commissioned officers - commanders (trump cards), if they survive, they will naturally become stronger.
Among Jiang Shang's soul servants, the fastest growing is Qi Li'er, who is greedy for the original sin, it only took her four months to obtain the most basic night watchman qualification, and the longest is Sun Hongling, she joined the war at the age of ten, she was too young, and it took a full year to obtain the night watchman qualification.
The battlefield faction and the academic faction have their own advantages, the academic faction has a solid foundation, the battlefield faction has strong actual combat ability, and when it develops to a certain extent, it often has communication.
There will always be a day when the academic school will go to the battlefield to be tested, perhaps, a precious talent with rare skills, because of his habit of being comfortable and not reacting quickly, will die in the first wave of arrows.
Therefore, the teaching concept of starting from actual combat has the hunting season in Penglai.
Moreover, the growth of the academy is relatively slow, and their students often leave the campus only to find that they have become the bosses of their own bosses at the same time.
Of course, the battlefield faction also needs to supplement its theoretical knowledge, and it is impossible to say that day, and it will find itself in a dead end and unable to advance an inch.
As long as a battlefield faction like Sun Hongling can survive, it will definitely grow rapidly, and if it wants to go further, it is natural that the stronger the foundation and the higher it will climb, it often needs to study or self-study.
They also know their own shortcomings, Qi Lier had said to Jiang Shang before, and they also hope to enter an academy like Penglai to study and sort out their ability system. (Episode 4).
As a result, as soon as she entered Penglai now, Qi Lier was still more excited than Jiang Shang, and she had to work hard.
Qi Lier understood the preciousness of this opportunity for further study far better than Jiang Shang, and when she was not on duty, she was in the library and the martial arts arena all day long.
Unlike Jiang Shang, who lacks everything, she is already a relatively mature night watchman, and she comes to study with questions, learning from her strengths and weaknesses for the defects she has exposed, with the goal of becoming stronger, and absorbing knowledge and liliang like a sponge.
Jiang Shang, on the other hand, lost the opportunity to become a choice of the battlefield faction from the beginning due to the intervention of the Night Watch Association. But he is destined not to become an academic school that grows up leisurely, and the countdown to his lifespan and the battle between stars and souls three years later have forced him to become a talent quickly.
"Time is limited, so hurry up." ――
I don't know if I'm nervous, these days, Jiang Shang has always felt that there is an eye in the dark that is spying on him, and when he pays attention, he often doesn't see anyone.
When they mentioned it to Sun Hongling, they were told with a smile.
"I just found out. It's dull enough. As soon as he pushed his glasses, the heavenly eye on his forehead disappeared, and Siluer seemed to be showing off his shili. Each of us has a tail, Jiang Shang, you are the most. ”
"Do you think that as a Star Soul Envoy and a Scholar of Ink Studies, no one will be curious about your identity, and someone will be spying on you secretly? What to expect, anyway, Ziliel and I take turns around you, even if someone wants to make it bad, it's unlikely. In the event of an attack, we will be notified through the Soul Pact. We'll be there quickly, too. ”
"Yes, Ashan, don't talk about you, even us are the same. Those dark eyes are really annoying, if this was a war zone, it would have been found out for a while. ”
Although Sun Hongling and Qi Lier both put away the Night's Watch insignia, in this place where everyone wore the insignia. This powerful warrior who does not wear any insignia is divided into conspicuous, plus the two of them are quite good-looking. It's even more striking.
The basic number and photographs of the Night's Watch are public information that can be found in the Night's Watch Association.
The infiltration of the two ace night watchmen touched the nerves of many people.
"Those pointy-eared nasty ghosts, haven't you ever seen a night singer with glasses?" It's Siluer's troubles, a little different, these days, she's had enough of those people who look at her myopic glasses and hold back a smile.
"No, I've never seen a short-sighted night singer." Although he was vomiting in his heart, Jiang Shang wisely focused on the coffee in front of him.
At this moment, Sun Hongling, who was by the window, stretched lazily, leaned out of the window with half of her body, and then tilted her head and counted.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, although there is no hostility, it is really annoying and obstructive. Boy, it's time to find an independent space. ”
Jihua was an ordinary student who lived in the dormitory of the freshmen, but as a result, when they met, they could only choose a public place such as a coffee shop, which attracted more attention.
"Or, I'm applying for a lab at the Ink Academy now?"
As a Ph.D. in ink studies at the Institute of Ink Studies, Jiang Shang still has a letter of introduction from Dr. Winston in his arms, but he is a busy mess these days, and he has not had time to report to the Ink Institute.
In any case, as a Ph.D., it shouldn't be difficult to apply for an independent research lab and residence.
Jiang Shang's suggestion waited until everyone denied it.
"I don't want to sleep in a place where it could explode at any moment."
"It's too cumbersome to get in and out of a place like the lab, and you have to go through two checks to buy a snack."
"That's prejudice and rumors! The real ink research institute is probably not going to explode. Thinking of the wall that was torn down when he was studying the wild boy, and the countless explosions he experienced, Jiang Shang's confidence was suddenly gone.
zuihou, Jiang Shang's eyes for help fell on Si Luer, who was also a Mo scholar, but the girl closed her eyes together. It seems that there are no plans to give an opinion.
It is precisely because I know a lot about New Moology that I know that the pursuit of truth by scientific researchers has made them regard their own danger as nothing, and the so-called promise of "not exploding" is absolutely unbelievable.
For Silul, while it was great to have an independent lab in Moyan, where to live was too much.
Jiang Shang, who was helpless, could only shrug his shoulders and gave up his preparation to take the Moyan Institute as his home.
"Okay, I'll give up, then where else is it more appropriate."
The three girls looked at each other and seemed to have a plan.
"Qiang, Qiang, Ashan, this!"
On a poster, in the background is a beautiful lakeside manor, and in addition to a few beautiful women and mighty warriors at the door, the center is a fist emblem representing unity.
"Friendly match between freshmen and old students? What is it? ”
"Penglai's traditional program is held once every three months, and the old students who have just been promoted to the second level accept the challenge of the new students, and challenge them in the form of a war group, and the victors can get great honors."
Due to the teaching policy of starting from reality, there are many similar activities in Penglai, and the rewards are also good.
This event was a tradition, too. Through awards, it encourages the formation of teams and newcomers, and it is also convenient for each major war group to recruit newcomers.
"Honor? Do you care about that? Let's be honest. ”
Jiang Shang vaguely guessed something.
"The winning team and warband can temporarily own this lakeside villa, and the warband that wins the most times in a year will get the right to use it for four years. Four villas in spring, summer, autumn and winter, this year's reward, but the most scenic scenery of the lake summer village. ”
"And?"
"Wine cellar and big bathroom." "Separate kitchen and lakeside barbecue." "A quiet place to read."
Looking at the soul servant in front of him with glowing eyes, Jiang Shang tapped his fingers on the table twice.
"What are we going to do about keeping a low profile and inspecting our companions?"
Hongling tilted her head. A dark whistle that shows the unexpected face.
"The battle in Hemming City is in the Black Forest magazine this month, and I get three poaching letters a week, do you think it's possible to keep a low profile?"
As one of the costs of reconciliation, the White Lotus Warband, in the name of Jiuyao, issued an open letter to restore Sun Hongling's damaged reputation, originally relying on its outstanding combat power. She was quite valued, and she suddenly became the goal pursued by the Great War Group.
"Yes, Ashan. You can only see the good and bad in the battle, so it's a good time to take the opportunity to investigate and recruit new members. ”
"With achievements and prestige, it's easy to recruit new ones. I asked, there is a main goal for this event. It's just forcing everyone to form a team to hone and cooperate, and we also need to hone it. ”
Seeing the girls who were becoming more and more reasonable, knowing that it was useless to say anything, Jiang Shang nodded helplessly.
"Okay. We participate. ”
Next. In my ears, it was full of the cheers of girls.
"It was so nice to have your own room. Hongling, I finally don't need to smell your wine. ”
"Hehe, I don't have to hear your dreams and snoring anymore."
Immediately, Qi Lier blushed and squeezed out a sentence for a long time.
"Nonsense, I don't snore."
"Don't deny the dream talk." Sun Hongling smiled, recently, Qi Lier, who was just scratching a little, seemed to have become her interest.
"Sun Hongling! You're lying to me!! ”
"Well, it's no secret, Qi Lier fell asleep in class that day, and the teacher called him to get up, she actually bit the teacher's hand, and was still talking about 'roast suckling pig' in her sleep, as a result"
Jiang Shang was halfway through his words, but he was covered by Qi Lier, and the red glow stretched to his ears.
"Ashanno. Allow. Many. Mouth! ”
"Ahh Surprise! The hottest mysterious newcomer, the night watchman of the Golden Emblem who has made the feat of killing gods, is actually a little girl who can talk in her dreams! That's a good title, isn't it? ”
"Hongling, you dare! Then I'll tell Ah Shang about the shameless dream words you said yesterday. What 'oops, it's not going to work there', 'The boy is so bold', 'Don't touch it'! I'm so ashamed I can't tell! ”
Now, it was Sun Hongling's turn to blush. "Little girl, you are looking for death! Yesterday you weren't"
After exposing each other's shortcomings, it was a daily fight, and Jiang Shang sighed a little when he watched the drama of high-speed hand knives against iron fists being staged again.
"Also, I didn't think it through, fortunately I found it early, otherwise, if you put these two in a dormitory room, you will have to demolish the house sooner or later."
Then, he realized that something was wrong, and he thought he was going to win before he even started the competition.
"Don't get too happy, we just decided to participate."
But when the soul servant looked at the aliens, Jiang Shang could only shut up helplessly, and the meaning of that look was very clear.
"Will we lose? Will you lose to those rookies? ”
Will Qi Lier and Sun Hongling lose? Jiang Shang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was unlikely.
After all, on one side is a battle-hardened trump card, and on the other side, it is a rookie freshman who has never seen much blood.
But looking at the poster on the table, he had confidence again.
"Let's take a look, 'Temporary teams and clans are allowed to borrow from each other, with a minimum of six participants', if Lulu and Luna can't come back, we have two less people, and we can't even sign up!"
These noisy soul servants were finally silent.
Recall Lulu and Luna, who were hunting on the battlefield, for this matter? I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed.
Sun Hongling can imagine Lulu's arrogant little face. "You can't do anything without me."
"Bang!" The girl suddenly propped her hands on the table.
"Absolutely, don't recall them."
Jiang Shang smiled.
"Alright then, the freshman preliminaries are two days away, we have to find two people before, let's go everyone! If you can't find it, let's stay in the dormitory. (To be continued......)
