Chapter 8: The Wizard of Zero
"Feng'er, you want to avenge me!" a bloody head hung on the city wall, its eyes staring at the child in front of it, and its mouth kept squirming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Mu woke up suddenly, he looked out the window, as usual, the sky had just brightened. Su Mu turned on the light and got up to wash, poured a basin of water, Su Mu looked at the reflection in the basin, and said with a smile: "Dad, you are really hardworking, everyone is dead and you have to urge me to get up every day." ”
Today is the sixth month that Su Mu has come to the Academy of Magic, and it is also the annual assessment day of the Academy of Magic. After he finished washing, he came to the cold courtyard to cultivate the demon heart as usual.
No matter how late Su Mu played with Huangshi in the middle of the night, he would be awake and practice on time the next morning, which was due to his father. Su Mu would have similar dreams every night, bloodshed, killing, and dying, and finally accompanied by his father's words, "Feng'er, you want to avenge me!", the nightmare would suddenly wake up. This is a nightmare that Su Mu has been having since he became a mercenary, and as the soldiers of Life Road 009 gradually disappear, his nightmares have become more and more frequent, and now, it has even become a clarion call for Su Mu to get up.
Su Mu looks unserious on the surface, loves to make low-level jokes, likes self-comfort, are all habits he has developed for a long time in order to protect himself, he relies on spiritual strength to resist the fear and anxiety in his heart, this uneasiness does not come from death, but from the spiritual oppression brought about by continuous death. Su Mu has always wanted to become stronger, strong enough to kill all his father's enemies and avenge his father. When he became a mercenary in the Dark Magic City, he would often dream that he had slaughtered the entire Dark Magic City, and millions of corpses were piled up in front of him, and he would also dream that he had killed Tianshui City, pulled out all the rebels, and hung their corpses upside down on the ceiling of the main hall of Spirit Wind City, in front of him, was the spiritual seat of his father. But it was just his dream, and whenever he woke up, he would see his comrades dying one by one in front of him, and he was helpless.
In the end, when he was the only one left in the 009 Corps, he received the last mission, which was a mission with no chance of winning, but he did not refuse, and he could not refuse. So he stepped into the god-given gladiatorial arena, faced the monster with the head of a lion and the body of a snake, and tried all his strength.
Later, when he met the moon crown, Su Mu knew that his opportunity had come. Yuemian did his best to recruit him and let him see the dawn of his strengthening, so he agreed to Yuemian and got the opportunity to come to the Blood Worship Magic Academy to practice, this is an opportunity that must not be wasted, Su Mu must continue to become stronger, and he must let everything in his dream come true gradually.
Su Mu continued to cultivate until the sun rose in the east, and the entire magic academy began to make noise, and then he stood up and walked towards the middle courtyard.
Today is the day of the assessment, that is, the day when the qualified magicians advance, the magicians of the same rank show their cultivation results through battles, and the archmage who is the judge will decide whether the promoted person is successful or not. Su Mu also decided to accept the results of his hard work for half a year.
The assessment venue is in the senior teaching ground of the middle courtyard, which is the largest teaching ground in the magic academy, and the scale is not inferior to the god-given gladiatorial arena of the capital, the stands of 100,000 people, and the vast and boundless battle arena.
Since it is an annual event of the college, the audience is full, whether advanced or not, they all come to join in the fun.
Because the space was sufficient, and the academy also wanted to improve efficiency, the archmages decided to conduct ten competitions at the same time in the teaching field, so they drew dividing lines on the Gobi Desert.
The first to start was the low-level magician, Su Mu was assigned to the first group, and the referee was Cell.
"Boy, come here!" Say'er saw Su Mu, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What's wrong?"
"I see that your kid is a bit of a face, how many times have you been in class?"
"Not once, I sat in the corner, and I had a public face, so you don't think you saw me. Su Mu lied and didn't blush.
"Fart! You've had a class!"
Su Mu smiled awkwardly, and said helplessly: "The tree is a big move, and a handsome person like me is really still in the limelight." ”
"Originally, the freshman assessment was supposed to be a competition between freshmen, and I saw that you were awesome all day long, so I helped you pick a senior brother. Cell's grinned.
"Senior brother, what rank of magician is it?" Su Mu was stunned.
Sail stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Su Mu.
"Twenty steps?"
"Fart! There are only nine levels of magicians, one to three are beginners, four to six are intermediate levels, seven to nine are advanced levels, and after breaking through the high level, you can be promoted to mage, you don't have enough brains, but you don't go to class, I'm afraid you will be killed on the field!"
Su Mu hurriedly smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Sail's back, and said, "Then please ask the teacher to communicate with the senior brother, and show mercy to my subordinates, so that I can pass this advanced competition." ”
Celle also reached out and patted Su Mu's shoulder, and said softly: "It's time, go on stage, and make sure you are half unsuccessful." ”
Su Mu went on the field hard, and greeted Sail ten thousand times in his heart, and on the opposite side, stood the magician of the East Courtyard with confidence.
"Hemp, why is it still from the East Courtyard? I just went to the East Courtyard with Huang Shi two days ago and smashed the field, and this time it's broken!" Su Mu looked at the opponent's armband, and was dumbfounded.
Before Su Mu came back to his senses, Sail struck the gong fiercely, and the competition began.
The magician on the opposite side quickly recited the spell, and a water dragon circled out from his side, and the water dragon rose into the sky after it was formed, and a large splash of water fell down.
"What is he doing, is he performing acrobatics?" Su Mu looked at the water dragon that had not been attacked for a long time, and was a little puzzled, and turned his head to ask Sail beside him.
"Fool, you're going to die!" Cell's yelled.
Su Mu was startled, and turned his head to see that the water dragon had already rushed over. Su Mu's fighting style was extreme, he rarely defended, and the moment he saw the water dragon coming, he reflexively greeted him. The water dragon's movements were stiff, and Su Mu easily floated over, and kicked at the magician of the southern courtyard while bypassing the water dragon. Hearing only a "bang", the second-order magician suffered a heavy blow to his jaw, and immediately flew upside down, drawing an arc in the air, and fell to the ground unconscious.
"What's going on?" Su Mu fell to the ground and was a little surprised when he saw the unconscious magician in the distance, as if he couldn't believe that the battle was over.
"Why doesn't he defend?" Su Mu looked at Cell, Sail also opened his mouth wide in surprise, reacted for a while, struck the gong hard, and said, "Su Musheng." ”
This shout suddenly focused the attention of the audience on Su Mu, the other venues had just warmed up, and the fight here was already over? The sharp-eyed girl saw Su Mu, and suddenly smiled, and said: "Isn't that the 'stupidest' in the West Courtyard!
Here Sail was very surprised, he never thought that a freshman would kick over the second-order magician, and the competition could not be carried out, because the later schedule did not arrange an opponent for Su Mu at all.
"Does anyone want to compete with this junior?" Cell, shouted into the stands.
"I'm coming!" shouted from the stands, and a big man jumped straight in.
"What level are you?" asked Cell, looking at the visitor.
Dahan took out his name tag, and after reading it, Sail nodded and said, "The fifth-order magician of the North Courtyard, King Kong." ”
King Kong looked at Su Mu, he had been observing this side just now, and he suddenly became interested after finding that Su Mu had killed the second-order magician with one kick.
"What rank are you?" King Kong asked Su Mu.
Su Mu looked at Cell, so he bowed his hand to the big man in his tone: "Zero-order magician of the Western Courtyard, Su Mu." ”
"Zero Order, and Zero Order?" King Kong's eyes widened, thinking that Su Mu was teasing him.
"He's a freshman. Cell's explained.
King Kong frowned, and after a while, he said to Su Mu: "You make a move first, I'll let you make three moves." ”
Su Mu nodded, then quickly rushed up, and went straight to the King Kong Face Gate with a punch. King Kong was taken aback, Su Mu's body was extremely weird, and he could gradually accelerate in the air, which caught him off guard. King Kong hurriedly dodged, Su Mu brushed his face with a punch, and the wind swept across King Kong's neck, and there was a sound of metal rubbing.
Just when King Kong's attention was all on Su Mu's fist, Su Mu suddenly volleyed his leg and smashed it on King Kong's chest, King Kong was knocked out, Su Mu actually stuck it again, and a knee blow knocked him to the ground.
Cell's eyes on the side were about to pop out, these three tricks made him really suffer, and he was beaten if he couldn't pretend to be forced!
King Kong on the stage stood up and patted the dirt on his body. After eating enough of Su Mu's attack, he was unscathed.
"It turns out that you can control the wind, no wonder you can accelerate in the air, and even attack flexibly in a suspended state, it seems that the magician who was kicked away by you just now was also caught off guard. "King Kong's analysis is the first to be true.
"You're tough. Su Mu raised his eyebrows.
"This is a body with hardened skin and strengthened with magic, comparable to steel," King Kong smiled, "Otherwise, the fist wind just now would have cut my neck." ”
"After three moves, you can fight back. Su Mu said.
"No need, I've already lost," King Kong shook his head and said, "You can't use weapons in advanced competitions, and the magic of hardening skin is a violation under such rules, which is why my level has not been improved all year round." ”
King Kong walked off the stage after speaking. Cell's mouth opened wide and he watched King Kong pass by him, as if in disbelief.
King Kong returned to the stands, and the woman who was sitting with him immediately came over and said in surprise: "Why don't you fight? I still want to see how powerful the 'stupidest ratio' of the West Courtyard is!"
King Kong turned his head to look at the woman, shook his head, and said: "This kid didn't take it lightly, and he would have killed him, if I hadn't taken precautions, my body would have been separated now." And, as he kicked me, I saw the saber at his waist. ”
"Sabre?
"This kid is not something we can afford to provoke, you should also pay attention to what you say in the future, don't be a 'stupidest comparison'. King Kong looked at the woman solemnly.
"Oh, I see. The woman was startled by King Kong's serious expression.
Cell's reaction after a while, and continued to shout to the stands: "Is there anyone else who wants to play with the junior?"
The people in the North Courtyard all looked at King Kong, and King Kong shook his head at them, so they all stopped moving. The people in the east courtyard saw that the strongest north courtyard was very stable, and immediately understood that this child was not good at stubble, and they did not dare to act rashly, and the girls in the south courtyard naturally would not be idle and bored to join in the fun, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing.
"I'm coming!" heard only a shout, and Yellowstone jumped out of the crowd.
"Yellowstone, you didn't participate in the promotion tournament?" Cell, looking at Yellowstone, asked.
"Promoted to a fart, when you get to the advanced class, you are all busy promoting to a mage, how can you have the intermediate class to be idle?" Huang Shi waved his hand and continued, "I said Teacher Cell, if I win this competition, I will still be a sixth order, right?"
"This is a friendly match, don't worry, it won't give you a promotion. Cell's nodded.
When the people in the other courtyards saw Huangshi, they were immediately angry. Although the Western Courtyard was the weakest, the Intermediate Class of the Western Courtyard was the strongest, and because there was a Huangshi, he had probably reached the eighth-order level. And this Huangshi is very fond of finding trouble, and when he has nothing to do, he will take people to wander around the courtyard, and the people in the advanced class of the academy are all concentrated on preparing for the promotion of mage, so no one cares about the intermediate class and the low-level class, so the entire academy lives under the obscenity of Huangshi.
"Brother Huangshi, what are you going to do?" Su Mu was a little puzzled when he saw Huangshi coming to power.
"I'm going to check the results of my little brother's cultivation in the past six months, and see if the boy's body is really fast in cultivation. Yellowstone grinned.
"You make the first move, I will make the first move?" Su Mu asked.
"Whatever. Yellowstone waved his hand.
"It's better for you to make the first move, I'm afraid I'll kill you if I make a move. Su Muqian gave way.
"Damn, isn't it the birdman I tied up back then?" Before Huang Shi's words fell, he had already rushed forward and slammed his fist into Su Mumian's door.
Su Mu raised his hand and pushed Huangshi in the air with one palm, and the hurricane suddenly rose, freezing Huangshi in the air, and the sound of metal colliding was endless.
"Hardening the skin is against the law. Su Mu said to Huangshi.
"Hemp, your wind blade is still in violation! Lao Tzu doesn't need any means, your clothes will be torn by you!" Huang Shi quickly opened his fist, and a ball of flame came straight from his palm towards Su Mu. The flames swelled rapidly in the wind, and they were about to devour Su Mu. Su Mu hurriedly jumped away, and with another wave of his hand, the wind direction changed, and a wall of wind pushed away a larger and larger fireball.
No formula, no law seal, you can resist the wind with a wave of your hand, which is really an enviable ability. The eyes of the people in the stands were all focused on Su Mu.
Huang Shi took advantage of the situation to pursue, and then formed the magic seal, a water dragon went straight to Su Mu, the water dragon was extremely fast, and the movements were done in one go, more than a hundred times stronger than the second-order magician's flower fist embroidered legs. With fire in front of him and water above his head, Su Mu's movement space was limited, so he could only beckon and tear the water dragon to pieces with the gangfeng. Large splashes of water hit the ground, turning the sand into mud.
"Caught it!" The corners of Huang Shi's mouth rose, and the soil under Su Mu's feet suddenly turned into a swamp, and in just an instant, half of Su Mu's leg was trapped. Su Mu stretched out his wings and wanted to break free, but he couldn't fly out.
"Don't struggle, you kid is just pretending to be forced, fly to the sky early, and the gods can't catch you, fight with me, it's still too tender." Yellowstone was in his hands and mocked.
There was an uproar in the audience, the simultaneous manipulation of the three elements of water, fire and earth was surprising enough, and what was even more terrifying was that Huangshi actually fused the two elements of water and earth to summon a large magical swamp, such an ability, I am afraid that he can already be promoted to an archmage.
Su Mu suddenly raised his hand, and an invisible wind blade was set on the yellow stone, and the yellow stone was taken aback. This wind blade was extremely large, extending from Su Mu's hand a hundred steps away to the top of the yellow stone, and it was ten people high.
"Catch me but don't attack, but blow it, if it weren't for the mercy of my subordinates, you would have died in the mud!" Su Mu said with a smile.
Huang Shi immediately understood that the struggle just now was all an illusion, and the moment Su Mu was caught, he gave up his defense, and instead brewed the final blow. When Huang Shi thought that he had the chance to win and was distracted, the special move came with a bang.
Huang Shi looked up at the wind blade and said, "Okay, let's stop at the point, it's time to enlarge the move if we continue to fight, and I have to keep my trick to save my life, so I won't play with you." ”
After Huang Shi finished speaking, he put away the spell, and Su Mu broke free from the swamp and put away the wind blade as well.
"What's the name of your move?" Huang Shi was deeply impressed by Su Mu's final blow.
"Before I could name it, it was suddenly cut out during the state of emergency. ”
"It's called Sky Breaking," Huang Shi said, "I have a high level of education, help you come up with a good name, and use this trick to kill people in the future, and you can also remember your big brother Huang Shi's earnest teaching to you." ”
Huang Shi blew and walked off the field, patted the completely stunned Sayre, and asked, "Teacher, how far do you think Su Mu can go?"
Cell, who came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and said, "Eighth Order." ”
"Let's not go to the eighth order, just the sixth order, a freshman will be promoted directly to the eighth order, too public, teacher, do you say it?"
Sail glanced at Huangshi and said, "This kid is a seedling, don't be delayed by you!"
"Hey, teacher, what are you talking about? Su Mu follows me and is sure to graduate in two months!" After Huang Shi finished speaking, he shouted at Su Mu: "Come here, Silly Bi, Teacher Sai said that you have been promoted to the sixth order! Come and thank you, teacher!"
Su Mu was still immersed in the happy battle just now. His choice was right, as long as the Demon Heart could provide a steady stream of magical power, he could make the wind the sharpest weapon. Feeling the tumbling power in his body, Su Mu wanted to look up to the sky and roar, the road of revenge he was looking forward to was finally not far away.
