Chapter 9: Enlightenment Academy
"Yipin Linggen!" Bai Ran almost shouted in surprise, with an unimaginable look on his face.
"Look at you, it's really useless. The little demon sighed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I haven't had the slightest spiritual power tonic for thousands of years, even the most basic state would not be lower than the holy product." “
"I'm just not promising!" Bai Ran rolled his eyes, it was a first-grade spiritual root! Not to mention this small Heyang City, even if it was placed in the entire Cangxuan Kingdom, it was also extremely rare and rare. Once the genius who possesses a first-grade spiritual root is known to the world, I am afraid that even those top-level forces in the Cangxuan Kingdom will also flock to it in an instant, and try every means to recruit themselves into it, and even cultivate it completely according to the seedlings of the future successor! One can imagine how terrifying the talent and potential of this spiritual root are.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran's face was full of indescribable ecstasy, since he was three years old, he couldn't cultivate because he didn't have a spiritual root in his body, plus he was in the Enlightenment Academy that cultivated Terran monks, he didn't know how much cold eyes and ridicule he received on weekdays, although Bai Ran didn't care about other people's opinions, but in the face of his own body that couldn't practice, it was inevitable that he would often regret and be unwilling. Now that he has regained the spiritual root, it is even more of a treasure-like spiritual root, how can he not be happy in his heart?
"In the past, I couldn't practice, but watching the disciples who were admitted to the hospital at the same time make progress little by little, and finally left me far behind. Bai Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Little demon, do you know what it's like to be able to only look at other people's backs forever?"
"Look at other people's backs... I don't know..."The little demon held his cheeks with his hands, his face full of puzzlement.
"It's unwilling., very unwilling..."Bai Ran replied meaningfully: "Watching others surpass you step by step and leave you completely behind, so you feel uncomfortable and begin to work like crazy to catch up." But because there is no spiritual root in your body at all, no matter how desperate you try, how desperate you are, in the end, you find that there is still no effect, how can you be willing?"
The little demon listened to Bai Ran's words, with a trace of sadness on his little face, as if he felt Bai Ran's mood.
"Little demon, although you wanted to take my life yesterday, this result makes me thank you no matter what. Bai Ran's eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at the little demon: "Thank you for letting me have a... It's enough to catch up with other people's chances!"
"From now on, I will never be mediocre again!" Bai Ran's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the hands in his sleeves were secretly clenched.
When the little demon heard this, he didn't know what he thought, his eyes became dazed, his small mouth opened slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Do you say you want to thank me...."
The little demon secretly looked at Bai Ran, only to see Bai Ran squinting at him, smiling heartily.
"He seems to be with Xuanlong... It's different. The little demon had some confusion on his face and muttered softly to himself.
.....
When Bai Ran lifted the state of internal vision, he only felt that his body was indescribably relaxed and happy, and among his limbs, a solid and heavy sense of strength continued to emerge, making him not only smile, but also open the spiritual realm sixfold, which was really extraordinary!
Looking at the sky outside the window, the morning sun was very bright, and he estimated the hour, it was almost time for the morning class in the academy.
The noisy sounds of the demons outside the room sounded from time to time, and Bai Ran knew that the demons had gotten up to start the day's business, so he washed up casually, and quickly pushed the door and walked out.
"Ran'er, are you awake?" Mo Li sat at the counter, arranging her jet-black hair in front of the bronze mirror, and she immediately smiled when she saw Bai Ran coming downstairs.
"Just woke up for a while... Where's my mother?" Bai Ran replied softly.
"It's not like you don't know your mother's temperament, how can you get up before the sun rises?" Mo Li chuckled.
It seems that the demons in the inn are not unaware of last night's events, although the demons are strong, but if they don't use their demon power to carefully probe their bodies, they won't find anything.
Bai Ran was sure in his heart, and decided that he didn't have to tell the demons about the little demon first, after all, this matter was quite mysterious, and he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.
So he immediately said goodbye to the demons, and walked quickly in the direction of the academy when he went out.
After Bai Ran left, Mo Li looked at Bai Ran's back on the street, and his beautiful eyes were full of doubts.
"Don't you think it's a little strange for Ran'er today?" Mo Li asked in a low voice to Uncle Hu, who was wiping the tables, chairs and benches on the side, "I always feel that something has changed..."
"It's not!" Uncle Tiger played with the rag in his hand: "I didn't eat breakfast, and I was in such a hurry." ”
"That's not what I'm talking about. Mo Li pursed his lips: "I found that the feeling on Ran'er is not the same as yesterday. ”
"Hey, you're just thinking too much. Uncle Tiger grinned, and then smiled meaningfully: "The age of teenagers! ”
"......" Mo left his forehead, and three black lines slid down.
......
Bai Ran walked along the streets and alleys, towards the outside of Heyang City, he secretly observed along the way, and found that whether it was the hawkers and merchants on the street, or the people who came and went, there was no difference between normal days, and the entire Heyang City was lively and prosperous early in the morning.
"It seems that the tragedy of Zhonghuang Temple last night has not yet been known to the people of Heyang. Bai Ran sighed slightly, that Zhonghuang Temple has been established in the Heyang region for a hundred years, and its influence on the local people is definitely extraordinary, if the news of the destruction of the whole door is discovered by the people of Heyang, the shock brought is unimaginable.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Bai Ran can't change the result, so he can only sigh slightly, hoping that the people won't panic too much.
Soon after walking out of the city gate of Heyang, the outline of the Enlightenment Academy appeared.
I saw a magnificent building located in the green mountains not far from Heyang City, which is surrounded by green trees and landscapes, and the antique pavilions and pavilions are all over the place, so it is not majestic.
Disciples in twos and threes, dressed in blue and white college robes, kept pouring into it from all directions, talking and laughing, and it was full of a thriving scene.
As soon as I entered the gate of the academy, I saw a group of disciples gathered together not far away and made noise, and I didn't know what was going on.
Bai Ran glanced at him from a distance, then shook his head and walked in the other direction, he couldn't practice in the past, he was regarded as a waste by everyone, and the disciples in the academy rarely made friends with him, even those who knew him were mostly cynical. Therefore, what happens in the academy on weekdays, Bai Ran rarely pays attention to it, and it has nothing to do with him anyway.
But just as Bai Ran turned around to leave, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't go!
Bai Ran frowned slightly, turned his head to look, and saw that under the pavilion not far away, a male disciple shouted loudly while running towards him out of breath.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Bai Ran also recognized him, this male disciple's name is Wang Sang, and he is a disciple who entered the Qiling Academy at the same time as himself, although the two know each other, but they usually have very little contact, but this Wang Sang is relatively upright, and he does not sneer at him because he can't cultivate spiritual power on weekdays, Bai Ran doesn't hate him.
"White Burn. Wang Sang strode in front of Bai Ran, hunched over and panting, his face flushed.
"Don't worry, take a breath and speak slowly. Bai Ran said with a smile.
"You're here, do you see the crowd not far away? Wang Sang said a little anxiously.
Bai Ran heard the words and looked from afar, only to see that in the crowd not far away, all the disciples gathered in a circle and didn't know what they were looking at, and from time to time, some passing disciples joined in.
"It's Zhong Yang! Zhong Yang's kid is about to be bitten to death by Li Jiang's spirit beast!" Wang Sang said with an anxious face: "I saw that you and Zhong Yang were inseparable on weekdays, so I rushed over to tell you." ”
"I'm about to be bitten to death?!" Bai Ran's brows furrowed suddenly.
Zhong Yang is one of Bai Ran's few friends in the Enlightenment Academy, and the reason why he can become friends with Bai Ran is because of Zhong Yang's cultivation talent, and he is also one of the several well-known crane tails in the academy.
After being admitted to the hospital for three years, Zhong Yang has only just opened the Spiritual Realm Triple Realm, coupled with the fact that this person is short and fat, he has been ridiculed by other disciples no less than Bai Ran on weekdays, and this Zhong Yang has been bullied every time, although his heart is full of bitter water, but no friend can vomit it quickly.
It wasn't until later that he met Bai Ran.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that this Bai Ran was different from other disciples. Although Bai Ran was quite indifferent when he came into contact with him, Zhong Yang couldn't see contempt for himself in Bai Ran's eyes, and he was disdainful!
Since then, whenever Zhong Yang is depressed and entangled, he will secretly buy two pots of sake, and then take Bai Ran to the small hill outside the academy to chat and talk after class, relieving the unhappiness in his heart, and after coming and going, the relationship between Bai Ran and Zhong Yang will naturally get better and better.
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for telling me. Bai Ran clenched his fists slightly, and walked quickly towards the crowd.
"Bai Ran..." Wang Sang pulled Bai Ran's sleeve, his face full of embarrassment and shame.
"Brother Wang, don't worry, I naturally won't talk about it to others when you come to tell me. Bai Ran nodded and said.
Listening to what Wang Sang said, the spirit beast that devoured Zhong Yang was Li Jiang's. This Li Jiang is notoriously domineering in the Qiling Academy. On weekdays, many disciples in the academy were bullied by him.
Seeing Wang Sang's face full of embarrassment, Bai Ran Deng understood that he was afraid that the news of his message would be known by Li Jiang and cause trouble.
"Brother Wang can come and tell me that this matter is enough to prove Brother Wang's integrity, just rest assured. Bai Ran said loudly.
"You have to be careful..."Wang Sang shook his head and said.
......
On one of the streets of the Enlightenment Academy, tall wooden attics stand on both sides. And under the attic, a group of disciples were chattering together, their faces excited and full of laughter.
In the open space in the crowd, a lion with fiery red hair roared incessantly, this red lion was huge, more than a foot high, and its limbs were powerful, like red copper casting.
At this moment, the red lion was lying on the ground, its two front paws constantly fiddling with something, its eyes full of playfulness, and from time to time it snorted violently.
The disciples around him laughed and laughed, as if they had seen something extremely ridiculous.
Among the disciples, a young man in purple clothes stepped forward, he had plump cheeks like jade, extremely handsome, but a pair of slender eyes with a hint of gloom and unkindness, this person was Li Jiang.
"This Red Flame Lion is a first-order spirit beast, and my father spent a lot of money to buy it. With a hint of pride on the corner of Li Jiang's mouth, he said proudly.
"Young Master Li is really arrogant!" As soon as his voice fell, several male disciples immediately surrounded him, all with flattering and flattering faces.
"It's just that it's kept at home on weekdays, and there's nothing for it to play with. There was a burst of abuse in Li Jiang's eyes: "No, I'll bring it today, let it play with the famous big meat balls in our academy, just to relieve the loneliness of weekdays." ”
When the male and female disciples around heard this, they couldn't stop laughing.
"Li Jiang, if you don't let this beast retreat, I'll will..." A voice that was about to cry came from under the red sideburns lion.
I saw that under the huge body of the red lion, a little fat man was pressed under it, his fat face was full of red, and his small eyes narrowed into a slit in pain.
The fat man kept writhing his body and trying to struggle out, but he was obviously unable to face the weight of the red lion.
"You're going to... What are you going to do?" Li Jiang put one hand to his ear, as if he couldn't hear it, and shouted in an extremely exaggerated manner.
"If you don't release Zhong Yang again, he'll tell the teacher of the academy!" a female disciple covered her mouth and laughed.
"Teacher... Hahaha. Li Jiang was about to laugh sarcastically when a figure passed by him quickly, making him stop his words.
He hurriedly looked at it, and the scene in front of him made his eyes almost fall out in shock.
I saw a young man in a blue white robe go straight through the crowd and walk behind the red-sidedness lion as if no one was there.
In the stunned gaze of all the disciples, the young man's right leg slowly raised, and the bright white light swept out, and this extremely ferocious kick wrapped around the Dao spiritual power, and he stomped on the waist of the red sideburns lion!
