Chapter 18: True Feelings
After finishing the last day of training, Shi Xiaoling waited for the final result in his dormitory. He knew that when the joint meeting of instructors and experts was completed, there should be a final result.
Although he can already get a good salary and welfare rewards after entering the top ten, Shi Xiaoling always wants to realize his dream of ancient martial arts.
Because he didn't do well in the last few exams, especially the exam about the collections in the collection hall, he was very surprised, and he never thought that Wang Hengjun would really come up with such a question. It took a whole month to finally practice the "Nine Yuan Clearance" illustration to the joy of ripening, and the same was diluted by the poor test results.
Although Shi Xiaoling also understood that his talent and qualities in all aspects were not outstanding among the students, and he was lucky enough to be on the list of the top ten, but on the other hand, he also knew that he was very close to becoming an ancient martial arts master.
As long as he can be inoculated with the ultimate virus and survive the energy explosion, it is entirely possible for him to obtain a powerful enough True Yuan energy in one fell swoop. At that time, those ancient martial arts that can only be practiced with spiritual consciousness in the past will be truly integrated, and he will become a real master of ancient martial arts.
And the premise of all this is that he can become the executor of this year's final "National Longevity Improvement Plan".
Just as Shi Xiaoling was thinking alone in the room, Tang Zhishu and Cai Haohua pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Cai Haohua, Jiang Ziya's heart sank. As far as he knew, the final winner would be notified to go to the office of the base headquarters to go through the formalities, but Cai Haohua came in person, did he come to comfort him?
Seeing the strange expression on Shi Xiaoling's face, Cai Haohua smiled and said, "Shi Xiaoling, what's wrong? Is it very difficult to cultivate that 'Nine Yuan Clearance' diagram? How do I think you seem to be disappointed?"
Shi Xiaoling shook his head and said, "No, I've already mastered that diagram?"
"Oh, how did you do it? That's just one of the nine diagrams, you can't succeed in cultivating alone, how do you practice?"
Cai Haohua couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Shi Xiaoling had actually practiced the illustrations in the collection.
Shi Xiaoling said: "It's still my old way, and it's also a stupid way." When my own true element can't reach or can't do it, I use my own consciousness and spirit to replace it, anyway, I try to walk those lines of true element a few times, and I don't know if it's useful or not. β
"Is that okay?"
Cai Haohua couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, he himself was also a master of studying ancient martial arts for many years, but Shi Xiaoling's approach was a little unbelievable.
Shi Xiaoling didn't care about Cai Haohua's surprise, and said: "This is my self-created soil method, who made my true yuan too weak." I have always practiced the ancient martial arts that I am interested in, and I have gotten used to it over time. I don't know if it's useful or not, but I think it's somehow useful......"
Tang Zhishu was not very interested in ancient martial arts, and seeing that Shi Xiaoling and Cai Haohua had an endless discussion, but they never talked about the topic, he couldn't help coughing lightly.
Shi Xiaoling already knew Tang Zhishu very well, and understood that this was an indication that she had something to say, so she immediately said: "Doctor Tang, I guessed it if you didn't say it, Chief Instructor Cai came over in person, it should be to comfort me that I was defeated." Alas, I have tried hard to persevere until now, but I didn't expect that after all, I was still one step behind, I was really a little unwilling!"
Tang Zhishu said angrily: "Why are you suddenly so unconfident in yourself?
Shi Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the meaning of Tang Zhishu's words, it seemed that he still had a chance, and he couldn't help but look at Cai Haohua with wide eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Cai Haohua smiled slightly and said: "Shi Xiaoling, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for you, but I am not here to comfort you for losing the election, on the contrary, at the joint meeting that has just ended, we have decided that you will be the final executor of this year's 'National Longevity Improvement Plan'." I'm here to tell you about the specifics. β
Shi Xiaoling Huo Ran stood up from his seat, grabbed Cai Haohua's arm, and said excitedly: "Mr. Cai, you didn't lie to me, did ......you? My grades were so bad, and the last one actually chose me, really chose me?"
Seeing Shi Xiaoling so excited, Cai Haohua and Tang Zhishu couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Tang Zhishu frowned and said, "How could Mr. Cai lie to you, you sit down and calm down first." Tomorrow at 10 a.m., you'll be inoculated against the 10th Level X Ultimate Virus. If you survive the outbreak of the virus in the next hour, you'll be sent on a time shuttle to the Bright Moon Continent 2,000 years ago. Now is not the time to rejoice. β
Shi Xiaoling turned around and took a step forward, grabbed Tang Zhishu's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Zhishu, how can I not be happy, this is the moment I have been looking forward to for a long time." I have studied ancient martial arts for so many years, and tomorrow I finally have the opportunity to let my true yuan energy explode, and I finally have the opportunity to become a real ancient martial arts master, how can I not be happy!"
A few blushes appeared on Tang Zhishu's face, this was the first time Shi Xiaoling called her "Zhishu", and it was also the first time that Shi Xiaoling held her hand, and he held it so hard.
The heat from Shi Xiaoling's fiery palm seemed to quickly infect Tang Zhishu, making her feel a little hot all over.
Although in front of Cai Haohua, Tang Zhishu did not withdraw his hand, but just looked at Shi Xiaoling with a bright smile, and said softly: "I knew that you could succeed, and tomorrow will be your new starting point." β
"Definitely, I will definitely succeed, I will never let you down!" Jiang Ziya held Tang Zhishu's hand tightly and looked directly into her eyes, her eyes shining with incomparably hot brilliance.
Cai Haohua on the side nodded heavily, whether it was Tang Zhishu or Shi Xiaoling, they all knew that Lu Dao would face a cruel test of life and death tomorrow, but at this moment, there was no trace of fear in the eyes of the two, on the contrary, they were full of beautiful longing and expectation.
"Maybe with such a mood to meet the challenge, Shi Xiaoling will have a better chance. Cai Haohua thought to himself.
After Shi Xiaoling's mood calmed down a little, Cai Haohua said to Tang Zhishu: "I want to explain the specific tasks and some related matters to Shi Xiaoling, can you wait for us outside first?"
Tang Zhishu knew that many of the things Cai Haohua wanted to tell Shi Xiaoling were confidential matters, and her level was not suitable for being present, so he immediately nodded at Shi Xiaoling and got up and pushed the door out.
Cai Haohua took out a remote control from his pocket, turned off all the cameras in the corner, and said: "Shi Xiaoling, now I will officially explain the details of this mission to you, if you can survive the outbreak of the ultimate virus tomorrow, you will be immediately sent to the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago, and then it will be all up to you." β
Shi Xiaoling knew that the matter was very important, so he immediately calmed down and listened carefully to Cai Haohua's story.
If he dies from the outbreak of the virus tomorrow, then everything he hears today will disappear with the passing of his life, and if he can survive the difficulties, then everything Cai Haohua said may play a vital role in completing his mission on the Ancient Bright Moon Continent.
Cai Haohua told Shi Xiaoling that the so-called "National Longevity Improvement Plan" plan was personally initiated by the supreme head of the Star Continent. In the first ten years, this plan was not announced to the public, but was carried out in secret. The core of the plan is to go to the Bright Moon Continent 2,000 years ago to obtain the "Nine Yuan Customs Clearance" diagram.
The illustration of "Nine Yuan Clearance" is said to be quite magical, and once practiced, it can make people break through the limits of life and reach the so-called mythical realm of transcendent sanctification. The FΓΌhrer hopes to use the time shuttle to send elites to bring this diagram back to the Star Continent.
In order to realize this whimsical plan, the Star Continent has mobilized a considerable amount of human, financial and material resources to cooperate, and has invested huge resources in the research of viruses that stimulate the growth of human energy.
However, although after 20 years of research, the ultimate virus has achieved certain results and has been able to greatly improve people's physical fitness to a certain extent, but this virus has never been able to achieve a truly stable and safe curative effect.
Moreover, due to the huge cost of developing this virus, and the strength of the entire Star Continent, only one dose can be produced a year at present, and once the vaccinated person cannot afford to die on the spot, he can only wait until the next year to continue trying.
In the first ten years, while developing the ultimate virus, the Star Continent had already launched the screening of personnel who carried out the plan, and since it was the selection of talents from the military, police, and sports elites of the entire continent, the quality of the candidates selected was quite good.
The two most outstanding of them, after years of secret training, finally became the first two winners of the next public ten-year plan, namely Changsheng No. 1 and Changsheng No. 2.
These two are geniuses among geniuses, elites among elites, both physique, intelligence, emotional intelligence and knowledge are the best in the past twenty years, especially Changsheng No. 1, who also has quite high attainments in ancient martial arts.
Although the ultimate virus is far from stable, both of them successfully survived the outbreak of the virus and successfully crossed over to the ancient Bright Moon Continent.
It's a pity that after these two geniuses went to the Bright Moon Continent, there has been no news, although the Star Continent regularly arranges unmanned time shuttles to pick them up at designated locations every year, but they have never received any news from them except for a vase once.
What's even more troublesome is that in the following eight years, the executors selected each year in the training base died on the spot from the outbreak of the ultimate virus for six consecutive years, and they didn't even get on the shuttle.
It wasn't until Wang Hengjun changed the method of selecting materials that he successfully sent two talents who were completely unfamiliar with ancient martial arts, Changsheng No. 3 and Changsheng No. 4, into the ancient time and space.
However, because these two had not practiced ancient martial arts, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to complete the task alone on the ancient Bright Moon Continent, where martial arts were extremely strong, and the purpose of their visit was only to find and cooperate with the previous Changsheng No. 1 and Changsheng No. 2.
And now, if Shi Xiaoling can survive the outbreak of the ultimate virus tomorrow, he will officially become the Immortal Five.
As Changsheng No. 5, his mission is very clear, that is, to go to the Bright Moon Continent to obtain all the "Nine Yuan Clearance" diagrams at all costs, and bring them back to the Star Continent smoothly.
If possible, it would be best for Immortal Five to get in touch with the few people sent before and form a joint force, and even if he can't, he will have to do everything possible to complete the task independently.
