Chapter 2: The Collapse of the League of Assassins
Bai Yu pointed to a person in the front row: "You, step forward!"
The young man stepped forward tremblingly, and under the guidance of Bai Yu, he came to the fountain of life.
"Put your hand in the spring. Bai Yu said.
The boy cautiously put his hand inside, and the spring water seeped into his palm and flowed throughout his body, a feeling that could only be understood by experiencing it himself.
The Fountain of Life is also blooming with colorful light, and when the colorful light disappears, the ceremony also ends.
The elders and deacons all gathered around the young man, and the great elder couldn't wait to say: "Close your eyes and feel it carefully, you will sense the life crystal nucleus condensed in your body, it has become your thing, try to control it, it will tell you about your own abilities!"
The boy closed his eyes as the Great Elder had said, and after about a minute, grass began to grow on his hands.
The elders and deacons who were still full of expectations were disappointed, and Deacon Silver Tribulation spoke directly: "It's a common grass control ability, no matter how high the talent is, no matter how big the ability is, the upper limit is just the red-robed assassin, after all, it is not comparable to the ability of vines, wood control, etc." ”
Chen Ran had a lot of questions in his heart, but he couldn't speak casually at this time, so he could only wait quietly.
The young men were baptized by the fountain of life in turn, and the elders and deacons were at one moment happy, then disappointed, and more often sighed.
"This is supposed to be a flash ability, this is the first time I've seen it, if you develop it well, this kid will definitely become a powerful assassin!"
......
"It's a glass ability, it's too. I remember an assassin with glass abilities, who spent his life exploring the mysteries of glass abilities, but he was just a blue-robed assassin, attacking with fragile glass, and he didn't have any power at all!"
......
Finally it was Chen Ran's turn, he was extremely worried, and while stepping forward, he comforted himself: "I'm a traverser, I should have my own buff, hurry up and give me a powerful ability!"
Deacon Bai Yu on the side smiled at him, and then began to instruct: "Don't be nervous, put your hand in the spring water." ”
Chen Ran put his hand in, the spring of life brought a trace of warmth to the skin, and this warmth soon flowed all over the body, and there was a strange energy that converged in the position of the dantian, and gradually formed an entity. It was a prismatic crystal nucleus, crystal clear, and Chen Ran could feel the source of power from the life crystal nucleus.
It was only a short while, and the crystal nucleus in the body that was originally crystal clear suddenly became black. Chen Ran couldn't see it, but he could really feel the darkness, which made him frightened inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Deacon White Feather asked with concern.
Chen Ran replied in a trembling voice, "My crystal nucleus...... It's changed ......"
"The Fountain of Life brings people different abilities, and the life crystal nuclei formed in the body naturally have different forms, so you don't need to panic. Feel it and you'll learn the mystery of your abilities. ”
After listening to Deacon Bai Yu's words, Chen Ran finally calmed down. He tried to sense the Life Crystal Nucleus, and the Life Crystal Nucleus did respond, but it was ......
"Look, his skin is starting to turn black!" Lu Xiong, who was bullying Chen Ran, shouted, with a playful smile on his face.
Deacon Bai Yu glared at him fiercely, and Lu Xiong lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, but continued to laugh in his heart.
"It's the Chicken Ribs' color-changing ability, and so far no one has been able to cross the threshold of the Tsing Yi Assassin. Alas...... Let's go down. The Great Elder sighed.
Chen Ran chuckled in his heart, the words of the Great Elder were no different from the death sentence, he only thought in his heart: This doesn't seem to match the identity of the traverser, right?
Deacon Silver Tribulation suddenly laughed and said, "Great Elder, this is the first time that the black color-changing ability has appeared, so maybe it can be useful." ”
Chen Ran looked at the Great Elder with eager eyes, but the Great Elder poured cold water on him again: "What is the use? Turning your complexion black is at most convenient for you to move in the dark night, but we just need to put on black clothes, what is this ability if it is not chicken ribs?"
Despair, even anger, Chen Ran was lost to the extreme. At first, he was looking forward to the adventure that was about to begin, but now he just wants to go home!
He didn't know how he walked back into the crowd, he was in a trance, only to be woken up by a wild laugh.
Looking up, Lu Xiong was surrounded by elders and deacons, and it was Lu Xiong who had just laughed. There was a flame burning in his hand, and the heat made even Chenran below feel it.
The elders and deacons were also smiling, and one of the deacons said, "Boy, this fire ability of yours is a powerful combat ability, and there are only two people in the entire Assassin League who have this ability. One is me, and the other is a powerful assassin. If you follow me in the future, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the mainland!"
Chen Ran no longer knew what his fate would become, and now he just wanted to wait for the ceremony to be over and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Or, it is also a good choice to surrender to Lu Xiong in person and become Lu Xiong's subordinate in the future.
But Chen Ran wouldn't choose this, not to mention how Lu Xiong would treat him, and Chen Ran himself didn't want to be a slave at the mercy of others.
Nearly 100 teenagers have all completed the baptism of the Fountain of Life, and each has also received their own abilities, but most of them are very weak, which is also expected by the elders and deacons. If it weren't for today's situation, they would have been more selective.
Deacon White Feather stepped forward and said, "No matter what abilities you have acquired, no matter what kind of person you will become in the future, there is one thing you must not forget - you will always be members of the League of Assassins!
Each boy received a peculiar coat of arms, something that only members of the League of Assassins could not imitate. Everyone's coat of arms is the same, and the pattern is green leaves.
Bai Yu continued: "The assassin coat of arms will change with the change of your strength, among the assassins, the lowest level is the Tsing Yi assassin, you are all in this realm, so the pattern of the coat of arms is green leaves. One level higher, the Red Assassin has the Red Flame Crest, then the Blue Bead Crest of the Blue-robed Assassin, the Black Moon Crest of the Night Moon Assassin, and the Golden Sun Crest of us Mingzun Assassins, the Great Assassin. At present, we are the Assassins of the highest rank, but in fact, in the ancient history of the League of Assassins, there have been four powerful Assassins who are far superior to the Archassassins, and we call them the Templar Assassins. The remains of the four Templar Assassins are laid to rest in the Templar Chamber, and we will take you to pay their respects. ”
The memorial to the Templar Assassins is something that every new member has to do, and it is the final ritual of the Templar journey.
Led by the elders and deacons, everyone entered a burial chamber through the right passageway.
The temperature in the burial chamber was very low, and the teenagers were still shivering from the cold in their robes, only Lu Xiong didn't have anything to do with it, he exuded a heat all over his body, and he kept looking towards Chen Ran, his eyes were full of provocation.
Chen Ran didn't pay attention to him, but looked around. Directly in front of them were four crystal coffins, and inside were the four Templar Assassins. There is an invisible barrier that separates the crystal coffin, and everyone can only look and mourn outside the barrier.
Everyone bowed their heads in remembrance, but at this moment, the entire temple trembled violently.
"It's not good, there's a change in Eternal Night City!" the Great Elder shouted angrily.
At the same time, five of the ten deacons suddenly made a move, and the entire tomb was filled with energy, and the barrier protecting the crystal coffin was shattered in an instant.
"Presumptuous, what are you going to do, Deacon Silver!"
"Hahaha, don't you understand at this time? Of course we are here to obtain the Life Crystal Nucleus left by the Templar Assassins!"
"Hmph, just because you five traitors also want to do nonsense, see if I don't kill you!"
This was followed by a long hissing "Ah...... Second Elder, how can you ......?"
The teenagers were all stunned by the impact of energy, and when Chen Ran was confused, he vaguely heard the above conversation, and then he didn't remember anything.
When Chen Ran woke up, he found himself in a room, and it was pitch black in front of him.
"Anyone?" asked Chenran softly, his heart filled with fear.
"Who's talking?" a voice sounded, this voice was equally immature, and it seemed to be a teenager.
Then a different voice came: "Don't panic, everyone, I'll light up this place with a flash of light, and then everyone will gather around me." ”
There was a flash of light in the corner of the room, and there was a faint figure, and Chen Ran cautiously walked towards it. When I got closer, I finally saw the man's face clearly.
"You're that genius boy with a glittering ability!" exclaimed.
The boy smiled slightly, and then another teenager came closer, and Chen Ran was equally impressed with him, because he had the ability to glass, and he was the first guy to be told that it was a chicken rib ability.
The boy with the glass ability saw Chen and said in surprise: "Aren't you the guy with the ability to change color?
Chen Ran said weakly: "Please, mine is not an invisibility ability......"
Although his abilities are not even as good as the glass abilities, the two friends in front of him at the same time did not laugh at him, which made Chen Ran feel very comfortable.
The three teenagers gave each other their names and surnames, the flash boy was called Yun Bin, and the glass boy was called Ren Hao. After a shortened conversation, Chen Ran also learned about the personalities of the two. Yun Bin spoke less and looked much calmer. Ren Hao seemed very cheerful, and he was not disappointed at all by his chicken rib ability.
"By the way, where are we now?" Chen Ran couldn't help but ask.
The three teenagers were silent for a while, but a voice suddenly came from outside the room: "You are in the Dark Cloud City under the Xia Empire!"
A black-robed man appeared in front of the three of them, he took off his mask, it was a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
"I'm Yan Sen, the Night Moon Assassin, and you've been in a coma for three days. From now on, you are no longer part of the League of Assassins, and you must not reveal your identity as an Assassin!"
"Why?" Ren Hao asked dissatisfiedly.
Yan Sen glanced at him and said coldly, "Because there is no Assassin Alliance in the world anymore......"
