Chapter 4: Just the Weak
It is not difficult to "shape" a wooden knife, as long as there is enough time, a child of the first order of the Cultivation Source Realm can do it.
But Xiao Chen has been hit by the "poison of sealing the source", and he has completely insulated from the three-color source, not to mention the wooden knife, he can't complete the "shaping" of a piece of sawdust.
Do you want to tell Su Zhenbai that he is already a wasted person?
"Hmph, forget it this time, it seems to be a bit difficult for you to practice so quickly, after all, not everyone is a genius like Miss Ben. Seeing that Xiao Chen hadn't moved for a long time, Su Zhenbai frowned and said, with a disappointment on his face that could not be concealed.
This color of disappointment pierced Xiao Chen's heart like a sharp knife.
This is not the first time that you have disappointed someone you care about because of your incompetence, and this is not the first time that you have been frustrated!
In his previous life, he tasted it countless times!
Is this his fate?
If so, can fate be changed?
"I want to try it!"
As if swearing something, Xiao Chen said this.
"Okay!" Mashiro nodded, smiling approvingly.
- Then the first battle with fate begins!
Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes, raised his right hand and spread his slender five fingers.
He whispered: "Let the heart slowly calm down, feel the flow of the "source", and touch the existence of the "law". ”
The world is not black, and even in darkness, the soul can see other colors.
Use your soul to peek into the existence of the law.
Even he could see it.
Yes, he saw it.
Red, yellow, and blue are floating out of the darkness.
It's like the stars suddenly dotting the night sky.
One by one, more and more stars appeared in his world.
Of the countless stars, he only needed one.
The one, shining blue, is not very dazzling, nor is it very beautiful.
He needs it because it represents the law of "shaping".
He tried to communicate with it with his soul.
- Hey, I need your help.
He called, with sincere emotion.
But no response was received.
-- Just a little favor.
He continued to call.
But the star remained haughty and cold, and did not answer.
The star he deliberately chose was ugly, dim and small.
But even such stars are not willing to pay attention to him.
The star may have been staring at him with disdain, or it may not have wanted to look at him at all.
If even it is unwilling to help him, then where can there be hope for him in this whole starry sky?
――Why are you so ruthless?
-- Don't you have half of your emotions as a law?
-- Is this also a fate that the weak cannot resist?
- No, I'm not reconciled!
He began to shout, then roared, and finally hissed.
But...the most inconspicuous star, he never gave him any response.
"Alas, you really can't!"
Coldly, Su Zhenbai said this.
As soon as these words came out, the entire night sky was lit up, and his world was completely destroyed in an instant.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes unwillingly, his fingers were already stiff, and his palms were oozing with beads of sweat, but there was not even a trace of blue fire in his palms.
Not even a faint hope has been kindled!
"Hmph, Miss Ben didn't expect anything anyway, after all, you are not a genius, and Miss Ben expected it. The pouting girl showed such a look and said: "You don't have to be sad, accept the fact that you are not a genius, work hard a few times and fail a few more times, which is what a guy with dull qualifications like you should do!"
――Is it normal to fail a few more times?
Xiao Chen woke up suddenly and looked at Zhenbai gratefully.
"Thank you!"
- Thank you for your clumsy comfort.
"Hey, you can't misunderstand something, do you? You don't think Miss Ben is comforting you, is it? Hmph! Miss Ben is laughing at you, you know? It's a mockery! Hmph!"
Like a little flower cat whose tail was trampled on, the girl's face suddenly changed, and her voice screamed sharply.
The slightly reddened and angry look was really cute, Xiao Chen was stunned for a while
An unusual silence filled the air.
Even breathing seems to have a stiff atmosphere.
After a long time, Su Zhenbai coughed lightly and said, "Lan Yuan represents the law of 'shaping'. The red source and the yellow source represent 'destruction' and 'repair' respectively. These three are known as tricolor sources. The cultivator's comprehension of these three laws is the affinity of the three-color source. ”
Xiao Chen frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "The affinity of the three-color source should be more appropriately said to be the ability to communicate with the law. The law is not a living being, but wisdom is better than living beings, and only by communicating with it and becoming friends with it can we borrow its power. ”
Xiao Chen had tried to communicate with the "Law" before, but he was really not welcomed by the "Law" because of his repulsive physique, and none of the "Stars in the Sky" were willing to pay attention to him.
Su Zhenbai was very surprised by Xiao Chen's remarks, she fell into deep thought, and muttered: "Your statement is peculiar, it obviously sounds like a bunch of crooked reasoning, and there is some truth." ”
Xiao Chen immediately realized that he had lost his words, the idea of "communicating with the law and borrowing the law" was only discovered and recognized by humans after the invasion of the demon disaster, and at this time, the Eternal Continent still respected "applying the law after human beings comprehend the law".
But in fact, it will be easier to "borrow the law" than to "apply the law", and the speed of repairing the source will be many times faster.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, in the era of peace before the demon invasion, there were still many loopholes and deficiencies in the source cultivation system. His biggest advantage in the second week may be the knowledge of repairing the source that has made a leap forward in the times, and the improvement of every source repair loophole is of epoch-making significance.
These improved source cultivation knowledge are the strongest golden fingers that he, a reborn person, can enjoy.
Thinking about this section, the deflated qi that he had eaten at the "Law Stars" before suddenly smoothed out a lot, and Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?
Well, Su Zhenbai, who was as proud as a peacock, seemed to have misunderstood something again, and his face was full of annoyance.
Xiao Chen hurriedly smiled and apologized
"Crunch squeak"
Su Zhenbai was about to open his mouth to continue teaching Xiao Chen's basic knowledge that he had already mastered, when suddenly a strange cry came from the woods not far away.
Xiao Chen and Zhenbai suddenly looked there with wary expressions, only to see a shadow quickly burst out of the woods.
The shadow was exposed to the sunlight, revealing its true appearance—gray-brown fur covering its body, its limbs erect and its tail standing upside down, its scarlet eyes showing strong hostility, and its incessant "squeak" sounds, it was actually a fierce wolf.
This wolf is very unusual! How can a wolf have a "squeak" call?
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said, "Be careful, this wolf is likely to be a demon beast!"
Zhenbai smiled and said, "Just kidding, this is the Qifeng Forest under the jurisdiction of Suzaku Academy, how can there be demon beasts?"
Before the words fell, the wolf suddenly pounced on Su Zhenbai like a sharp arrow, and its claws flashing with cold edges reached the girl's neck in the blink of an eye!
The blow came too suddenly!
The defenseless Su Zhenbai didn't have time to react at all!
She could only watch as the claws got closer and closer!
The crazy killing intent seems to tear everything apart!
The blood-red liquid suddenly floated in the warm sunlight!
"Plop!"
The sound of falling to the ground rang out at the same time!
With horror, pain and stunned, Su Zhenbai suddenly felt a sudden force hit her waist, and she was knocked to the ground by this force in an instant, and then a warm body pressed up!
When she fell, one hand landed on her chest, and the five fingers of that hand were stretched out and squeezing the budding buds on her chest very obscenely.
She was shocked, ashamed but not angry, for the hand had been torn open with three deep wounds that were visible to the bone, and hot blood was bubbling from it!
It turned out that at the moment when the fierce wolf pounced, Xiao Chen reacted, and he threw her to the ground desperately.
Her neck was spared, but Xiao Chen's arm was firmly hit by this claw!
This claw tore off a layer of flesh!
Xiao Chen felt the sharp pain in his arm and the soft touch between his fingers, and once again experienced the embarrassment of having no strength. He was wary of the fierce wolf from the beginning, so when the wolf made a move, he reacted immediately.
But what about the reaction?
The only thing he could do was to pounce on the girl with all his might, so that the cold claws could not tear her neck. But they don't have time to care about their own safety!
If he hadn't been hit by the "Poison of Sealing the Source", he wouldn't have been so embarrassed at all, at least his arm would definitely not have been so seriously injured.
But now is not the time to complain, because it's not over yet!
The attack of the fierce wolf has just begun, and its next claw is coming soon!
Su Zhenbai, who was crushed to the ground by him, probably hasn't come to his senses yet.
And that cold killing intent is already close at hand!
The wolf pounced again!
What to do?
A resolute flash flashed in his eyes, Xiao Chen supported the ground with one hand and the girl's chest with the other, pressing down with all his might!
He flew upside down from Su Zhenbai's body in an instant!
He wants to use this power to stop the wolf's footsteps!
This is undoubtedly a car for the mantis arm!
But so what?
The fierce wolf's body swooped over and hit Xiao Chen, who flew upside down, and knocked Xiao Chen to the ground in an instant, and two sharp claws ruthlessly stabbed into Xiao Chen's shoulder, and blood was suddenly spread all over the ground!
"Ah~" The sharp pain of the bone marrow being pierced instantly made Xiao Chen scream!
The fierce wolf opened his mouth, and the smelly and sticky saliva suddenly dripped from between the fangs and landed on Xiao Chen's neck, and the saliva was like boiling boiling water, and the flesh around Xiao Chen's neck was instantly burned!
In the next second, the fierce wolf lowered his head, and the row of sharp teeth was aimed at his neck!
"Xiao Chen!"
Su Zhenbai's anxious cry with a slight cry sounded!
At the same time, she turned into a red light and attacked the wolf's lower abdomen!
This red light contains monstrous anger!
If this fierce wolf insisted on biting Xiao Chen's neck, then this red light would definitely penetrate its body!
No one will lay down their lives for the meat in their mouth!
However, this wolf is not a human, how can it "shut up" as a beast?
If it doesn't "shut up", the Grim Reaper won't stop!
- He's going to die!
- No!
- I don't want him to die!
It was as if such a will had been conveyed and a miracle had happened.
The fierce wolf chose life between food and life, and it jumped away from Xiao Chen very simply, and after dodging the red light, it jumped vigilantly dozens of meters away.
Its scarlet eyes gleamed with a strange light.
The red light dissipated, Su Zhenbai stood in front of Xiao Chen, and with a wave of her right hand, a blue flame floated in the air.
Slowly, a wall of earth and stone lay between them and the wolf.
The wolf stared at the wall, not moving.
The fierce wolf didn't move, Su Zhenbai could finally squat down, and she helped Xiao Chen, who had fallen to the ground, into her arms.
She glanced at Xiao Chen.
With just one glance, tears can no longer be suppressed.
Blood and dirt covered the tattered clothes, the wounds on his shoulders and arms were faintly visible from the white bones, and the flesh on his neck was charred.
Xiao Chen's eyes were already dilated, and he looked up at the sky unconsciously.
He kept muttering.
"True White, True White"
Choked up, she said, "I'm here, here, by your side." ”
Xiao Chen trembled and said, "Hurry up and run away!"
Su Zhenbai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you away!"
"No, don't!
"What? How could I leave the servant and run away on my own?"
"If you don't leave, it's too late! This wolf is not a demon beast!
As soon as the words fell, the fierce wolf on the other side of the wall suddenly "creaked" and barked.
Then, its body suddenly swelled, swelled, and swelled again!
"Bump!"
The body of the fierce wolf exploded, the flesh and blood swayed in the explosion, and in the blood, there stood a snow-white young wolf.
The wolf cub made a "crunch" call.
It takes a step forward.
Just one step.
The earthen wall collapsed in an instant, turning into a cloud of mud and sand.
