The Minor Level 3 is one of the distinguishing levels of comprehensive combat effectiveness in the Nas Empire. A hundred years ago, the Great Patriotic War was the lead, and as soon as the war ended, the Nas Empire set the tone for the reconstruction of a rich country and a strong army. In terms of hardware, war fortifications were built in various dangerous parts of the Nas continent, and in terms of software, the Blade Council, the core body responsible for the security of the empire, was established, and the Blade Council was based on various battle reports during the war and continuous revisions and upgrades over the past hundred years, which eventually led to the current battle rank system.

The battle rank system is divided into four battle levels from high to low: holy level, spiritual level, high level, and elementary level, and each battle level is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced, and these three levels correspond to the three stages of entry, mastery, and comprehension in each battle level. The junior third level is actually the junior high-level, which is rumored to be the name in the army.

Under the Council of Blades, there are four major institutions: the Imperial War College, the Holy War Crusader, the Imperial Armaments Creation Center, and the Scarlet Inquisition, which are responsible for talent, warfare, armament, and decontamination. Of the four major institutions, only the Imperial War College is open to the public, making it the only choice for the grassroots to change their fate. The War College is different from other universities in the Nas Continent, and all the courses and purposes in the War College are based on war and the long-term peace and stability of the empire. The War College brings together teenagers with all kinds of talents from all over the continent, and after layers of training and screening, the real elites are targeted and shaped, and finally the elite talents are sent to the other three institutions.

It is impossible to mention the War College without mentioning our protagonist, the third king of the Nas Empire - Dragic III. Legend has it that Dragic III experienced some unknown dark past in the process of studying at the Imperial War College, and at the beginning of his tenure, he actively promoted the private war college, not only building campuses for the private war college, providing policies, but also diverting most of the instructors of the Imperial War College to various private war colleges, and striving to let most of the private war colleges start to grow from the same starting point. After decades of competitive development and merger, the Grossa War College and the Aobo War College finally stood out from the competition, and finally formed a three-legged pattern with the Imperial War College.

- Excerpt from "The Butterfly Effect – The Biography of Dragic III".

On August 30, 117 years of the Nas year, the snow fell in the thirty-fifth village of the city

After Wu Ling and Harold ran out of Drake's line of sight, they stopped in unison, Wu Ling checked the ink steel hand half sword in his hand, smiled, and took the one-handed sword from Harold's hand, carefully examined it, and determined that Harold's sword was the one that had just been sharpened last night, and then untied the strip of leather wrapped around the hilt, the middle of the hilt was engraved with nine small characters of "Snow Falling Thirty-five Wu Fang Refined", the font is not big but each one is carved very neatly, and the handwriting is obviously his grandfather's handwriting.

"I made both swords. I've been sharpening this sword for a day, and your sword was just sharpened last night, but I didn't expect Grandpa to assemble it all in the morning. There are not many people who use the half-hand sword, and I only sharpened this one in the past six months, but I didn't expect it to be sharpened for myself. Wu Ling tied the leather of the hilt of the sword back, tied a few knots repeatedly, and looked at Harold with a slight sense of accomplishment. As for why these two swords were in Drake's hands, Wu Ling didn't bother to think about it.

"It's really not that I said that you Wu Ling, there has to be a limit to bragging, what do you mean by you, you are just chopping wood, burning fire, digging, mining, and doing chores, you are really too lazy to educate you, when will you be as humble as me?" Just practice casually, just so strong, how high is our talent, and the legendary once-in-a-century genius is just like that, right?"

"I don't know if it's high or not, I just know that if we continue to grind here, we will be taught a miserable lesson by Teacher Drake when we go back. Wu Ling glanced in the direction of Drake's wooden house, moved first, and ran towards the Chaotic Stone Forest.

Half an hour later, the two of them were tired and lying on the ground again. Wu Ling is quite normal, lying on his stomach and not moving. Harold's eyes were crooked, and he proved that he was still alive with occasional convulsions.

Drake looked at Wu Ling and Harold on the ground and shook his head, "In a moment, we'll do a training that we've never done before, to touch that true power." Get up and dismantle the chain mail and the weight sheet, hurry up. With that, Drake stretched out his foot and kicked the two dead dog-like men on the ground.

Wu Ling and Harold glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and got up from the ground to disassemble the load-bearing equipment. While disassembling and reorganizing the equipment, the two of them had been muttering quietly.

"I forgot to tell you something, the teacher used a barbecue fork to kill a ghost horned wolf in the morning. ”

"What? barbecue fork with a cross body?"

"The horns of the ghost horn wolf have been cut off, so they must have been used. ”

"Then wouldn't you have gotten your wish to see that golden light again. ”

"And it didn't ......"

"Don't worry, maybe the teacher will show us another ...... later"

"Can you two hurry up!" Drake interrupted the whispering of the two, stood in the doorway, stomped two steps, and simply rushed behind the two, grabbed one in one hand, and carried the two towards the col.

This is definitely a trip without humanity, Wu Ling was torn up and down along the way, and deeply realized the difficulty of being carried back and forth by cats and dogs, holding and running, just when Wu Ling's internal organs were about to be turned out, Drake suddenly stopped, stood on a boulder, and threw Wu Ling and Harold into the lush grass.

Wu Ling was lucky, landing smoothly in the thick grass, rubbing his abdomen and retching a few times. Harold, by contrast, was far more miserable, falling unsteadily and rolling deep into the grass as he landed, and was pierced by clusters of thorns with a heart-rending scream.

Drake shook his head helplessly, pulled out a short sword from behind him, pointed at a flat stone next to him, and shouted, "Don't pretend to be a bear, sit down quickly!"

Wu Ling crawled out of the grass and sat down on the stone first, Harold rolled his dead fish eyes, hugged a tree and slowed down for a while before reluctantly moving to Wu Ling's side.

Drake observed the position of the two men, looked around with the dagger in hand, and walked straight to the thickest birch tree nearby, the trunk of which was nearly half a meter in diameter, a little longer than the blade of the dagger.

"Look at it, take a good look at the short sword in my hand. Drake held the short sword in his hand and raised it lightly, and the moment the sword was released, a faint golden light appeared on the sword, and then, a few dull crumbling sounds came from the dense tree trunk, and the whole tree fell towards the place where Wu Ling and Harold were sitting.

Wu Ling pulled the paralyzed Harold, jumped more than ten meters in two very unstable jumps in a row, and finally lost his balance and fell into the grass again.

"Mr. Drake, this is the second time I'm going to kill me and Wu Ling today, it's too exciting!" With the aftermath of the tree falling to the ground, Harold's voice came faintly from the grass, very resentful.

"Miscalculation, a teacher is not a lumberjack after all. Drake shrugged, smiled to himself, climbed a tree, found a thick branch to lie down, took out an apple from his coat pocket, and ate it slowly, "Since you haven't been killed yet, let's talk about what you just picked up." ”

"Awesome! It's so awesome, just do it casually, it's so powerful, cutting down trees is like cutting melons and vegetables. ”

Harold said as he crawled out of the grass with a few leaves hanging from his head, a grim expression.

"I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language. ”

"Teacher Drake, you are really not simple, it seems that such a casual sword can exert amazing lethality. I guess this is the true power of the legend, and to be able to see the real power in my lifetime, my life is worth ...... Oops...... Ah......h

Before Harold could finish speaking, he had an extra apple on his face that had eaten a third of it, and he covered his face and planted it in the grass again.

"What about you, Wu Ling?"

"Teacher, you must have used the Crossing Body Energy, only with the blessing of the Crossing Body Energy, this short sword can become so sharp, and the real power is the Crossing Body Energy. ”

Drake was even more satisfied with Wu Ling's more subtle sycophant, nodded and said, "That's true, everything has a spirit, and everything has a crossing." It's not too early, sit down, close your eyes, calm down, and feel all the things here. ”

Harold crawled out of the grass again, glanced at Drake, and after confirming that Drake had no other fruit in his hand, he sat down next to Wu Ling and said quietly: "Teacher, I can only feel a broken apple, the broken volume has reached two-thirds, and the remaining third is lying in the grass next to me." ”

"I didn't say you, Harold, when will you not be poor-mouthed. Do you know what the hell is the third level of the little three? Tell you, it's nothing. At this stage, you are just purely improving the strength of all aspects of the body, Harold, you think that your physical fitness is better than Wu Ling, how much faster can you really run, how much higher can you jump......?

"Teacher Drake, can you allow me to interrupt, do you mean that Wu Ling and I have been tired of training for ten years to vomit blood is to be cannon fodder when others show their true strength?"

"Harold, if you interrupt me again, I'll chop you up right away!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Harold quickly raised his hands and surrendered.

Drake took out another apple from his pocket and took a bite, "All creatures in this world do not exist independently, everything in this continent, the sky, the sea, the earth, and all creatures are inextricably linked. ”

"yes, if I don't eat them, I'm going to starve to death. Harold stabbed Wu Ling, squinting and muttering.

Drake threw away the apple core, licked his fingers, and continued: "What you see, hear, recognize, and feel now is only a superficial connection, the cycle of growth and death, growth and death, and then growth and death, to put it more directly, is the cycle of eating and being eaten. However, these are very superficial connections, and for deeper connections, these are nothingness. The tree I'm riding, what you see, is just a tree, and what I see is just a tree. ”

Wu Ling heard this with a solemn face, and almost turned his back in one breath.

"The difference is that I can feel it, even though its crossing is very faint, I can still feel it, because its crossing is not decorated in the slightest, it is not disguised or defended. Crossing is a kind of energy, there is a crossing energy in any living body, and the crossing in your body is born from you, but it is not used by you, and you are never aware of the existence of crossing. Or that Wataru and your physical body are two completely different systems, or that Wataru is dependent on living beings and exists......" Drake stopped in the middle of speaking, and scolded in his heart, which elm pimple in this war college wrote the textbook? For a more detailed explanation of Du, you don't have to ask me, your teacher and I are not from a professional class, not to mention that I have been in the mountains and forests for many years, and my understanding of the interpretation of many terms may not be able to keep up with the development of the times, so I will not mislead you. In the future, any war college, the instructor will explain it to you in detail. ”

"This ...... It's too irresponsible. Wu Ling gave Harold a look and whispered.

Speaking of this body, I want to test you, why is there such an additional energy system in the body, but you don't know it at all, and you never feel its existence?"

Harold snorted, didn't think about it at all, thinking that since you decided to teach, teacher, you will definitely answer, just wait, spread his hands to Drake, and said: "Teacher, I really didn't say you, can we go straight to the point and directly expose the truth? Is it so difficult to be honest with each other?"

Harold's words woke up Wu Ling, Wu Ling frowned and thought for a while, and quickly replied, "It's a habit! Teacher Drake, it's a habit, it's like you always say 'I really didn't say you', I and Harold have been training with you for so long, not only got used to this mantra, but also unconsciously began to use this mantra frequently, and all this happened completely unconsciously. The reason why we have not been perceived and used by us is because we have not experienced and perceived it with our hearts at all, because we do not have this consciousness at all. ”

Harold was excited, and instantly realized, and quickly picked up Wu Ling's words, and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes! It's like teacher, you always touch the tip of your nose or buckle your nostrils before fighting, and when you enlighten us, you always like to sit on the tree and eat fruit, this is a habit!"

Drake was just satisfied with Wu Ling's understanding, and was unexpectedly splashed with a basin of cold water by Harold, his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat at this moment, and he almost fell off the tree in anger, adjusted his sitting position, and took out a duck pear from the other pocket.

"I really didn't say you, Harold, you really observed carefully, and it was really a long time to have a careful apprentice like you. Drake took a bite of the pear, chewed a few bites to suppress the anger, and continued, "Yes, it's because you didn't even think about looking for Wataru and didn't know how to find Wataru, so naturally you won't perceive Wataru. Now when you suddenly want to use the crossing, you have to understand the crossing first, and to understand the crossing, you first have to feel the crossing. The two of you are now in a state of near-collapse that is very suitable for perceiving Wataru, which is why I am in a hurry to bring you here. This is a dead end in this col, and neither man nor beast will disturb you, so let me see how high your understanding really is. Okay, good luck for both of you, and come to the hut before the sun sets. ”

With that, Drake jumped away, leaving the two men staring at each other in a daze. Wu Ling stood up and moved a few steps, pulled some distance from Harold and sat down. Harold also knew each other, and lay directly on the grass, pulled a piece of grass in his mouth, pillowed his head with his hands, and leisurely looked at Wu Ling, who was already meditating.

"Look at your stinginess, Uncle Ben is going to be tired to death, too lazy to disturb you, I'll sleep for a while, don't expose me! It's not me talking about you, Teacher Drake is really the reincarnation of a monkey, not only eats fruit on the tree every day, but now he doesn't even move to the ground, flying on the tree every day, it's really getting closer and closer to his nature. ”

Wu Ling didn't pay attention to Harold, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, focused completely on himself, and felt it seriously for half an hour. The result was not optimistic, except for being able to feel that he was still alive, Wu Ling had nothing to gain. Wu Ling was not discouraged by this result, if Du was felt very simply, then the threshold of true absolute power was really a little too low.

Wu Ling was at a loss, lying on the ground, pulling out a piece of grass and holding it in his mouth, turning his head to look at Harold, who had not moved for a long time. Harold closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if he was asleep, and to Wu Ling's surprise, Harold did not snore today, and he still had a solemn look on his face that had nothing to do with him.

"Harold?" Wu Lingyi's doubts were unanswered, and he shouted, seeing that Harold didn't react, he stretched out his foot and kicked Harold, "Hey, don't pretend to be dead." ”

Harold was kicked to the ground, his eyes were still in a blur, staring straight ahead, his hands groped on the ground, and grabbed a branch on the ground to make a gesture to hit Wu Ling.

Wu Ling was startled, his eyes were quick, he snatched the branch and shouted: "Hey, hey, it's me! Why are you still doing it?"

"It's obviously your foot that moved first!" Wu Ling's shout seemed to have an effect, Harold stopped attacking, squinted at Wu Ling, Wu Ling's sluggish face with a little resentment suddenly made Harold's eyes flash, replaced with a smug face, and continued mysteriously, "My great genius, you may not believe it when you say it, I found it!"
