Chapter 5: The Spiritual Realm
The Holy Spirit Temple Basic Training Academy is not a college that teaches students to become spiritual masters, but a college that trains students in the basic qualities, and its purpose is only to lay a solid foundation for students to become spiritual masters, in the academy, students must become spiritual teachers before the age of sixteen, that is, before adulthood, and students who become spiritual masters will be recommended by the academy to enter the real spiritual master academy to study.
"Elder Yan, are you sure that the physical fitness of these children is up to the requirements?" In an empty room of the Holy Spirit Temple Basic Training Academy, a slightly muffled question slowly came out.
A white-haired old man with a red face in front of the desk nodded with a smile and said, "Principal, aren't you still worried about the baby that my Lao Yan personally brought up?"
If Luo Chen and the others were here, they would recognize this white-haired old man as the teacher of their Devil Forging Class.
The room where Yan Lao was at the moment was very simple, with some antique paintings and calligraphy hanging around the walls, and the only thing that could be regarded as office utensils was a delicate desk and a chair behind the table.
On the chair behind the desk, a middle-aged man sits, the man's long black hair is neatly draped over his shoulders, his angular face makes his expression look very serious, and the whole person naturally exudes a majestic momentum.
"So, it's time for them to go to the Spirit Realm to practice!" said the middle-aged man with his hands crossed on the table, groaning slightly.
"Well," Yan Lao nodded, "With their current physical fitness, even if they encounter some small dangers, there won't be much of a problem!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then asked, "If they sign the spirit contract, can their bodies withstand that kind of pain?"
The corners of Yan Lao's mouth cracked, as if he thought of the students who had been miserable by him in the past few years, and said with a smile: "Headmaster, you don't look at who brought them, that level of pain, they will definitely be able to bear it if they grit their teeth." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange the time for them to go to the Spirit Realm, you go get busy first!" The principal waved his hand to signal that Yan Lao could go out.
Yan Lao nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Spirit Domain?" A faint smile appeared on the middle-aged man's serious face, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "I don't know how many children can sign a spirit contract to become a spirit master this time!"
※※※
Two weeks later, on the playground of the academy, more than fifty students stood together densely, but none of them made a loud noise, among these students there were familiar faces of Luo Chen, but more of them were some unfamiliar faces.
A week ago, Yan Lao informed them that today they would set off for the Spirit Domain, which would be a major event that would determine whether they could embark on the Spirit Master Dao in the future, so they didn't dare to slack off and just wait for Yan Lao's arrival after gathering early.
It didn't take long for Yan Lao to arrive, glanced at the students who had already been assembled, nodded slightly, and said, "Today, I will be everyone's leading mentor and lead everyone to the spiritual realm, if there is anything you don't understand on the way, just ask me, if you hide the question, it will only affect your own future!"
The faces of several students immediately turned red, and Yan Lao's eyes swept a few of them, these students were usually shy people who didn't like to ask questions, "Let me explain to you, what are you going to do in the Spirit Realm! Especially the students who participate for the first time this year must pay attention to ......"
At this time, Luo Chen's attention was also highly concentrated, and he knew that what Yan Lao said now would determine his future life path!
Many of the students present were all under the age of sixteen, and their physical fitness had reached the standard of becoming a spirit master, but they had not yet become a spirit master. They came to the Spirit Realm to find the 'Spirit' and sign a spirit contract with it, and only with the 'Spirit' did they become a Spirit Master!
"Those fifteen-year-old students, pay attention, this trip will be your last chance, if you can't sign the spirit contract, then you will be kicked out of the academy, even if you become a spirit master in the future, you will not be recommended by the academy to enter the spirit master academy to study!"
Although the older teenagers on the playground knew about it for a long time, they couldn't help but turn pale at this time, and they knew that signing the spirit contract required a certain amount of luck in it, so they were begging in their hearts at the moment to hope that their luck would be better.
"Okay, do you all understand?" asked Elder Yan loudly after explaining.
"Understood!" he was greeted by the unanimous excited roars of the trainees.
"Alright, let's go!"
※※※
The people who live in the Fran Continent call this forest the 'Forest of the Ancient Domain', and it is impossible to determine how long the Forest of the Ancient Domain has existed, as if it has been like this since the beginning of mankind.
There are countless beasts of all kinds in the Ancient Domain, and even today, a large number of previously unrecorded beasts can be found every year, but these huge beasts are not the owners of this forest.
Spirit Beast!
This variety and number of intelligent creatures are the masters of this forest, they are born to sense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and can condense it to enhance themselves, so it can be said that they are the 'spiritual masters' in nature.
At the beginning of human beings, the spirit beasts in the forest of the ancient domain were brutal and unscrupulous, and the human beings could only seek self-protection in the forest of the ancient domain because of the powerful strength of the spirit beasts.
I don't know how many years ago, the first batch of spirit masters appeared among the human race, they were strong enough to fight with the spirit beasts to the death, and it was precisely because of their efforts that cities were able to rise in the forests of the ancient realm, and human beings finally had a peaceful living environment.
However, compared to the number of spirit beasts, there are too few spirit masters among humans, and all that can be done is to build isolated cities in the forest.
The large forest is naturally still the world of spirit beasts, so it is almost recognized to seek death in the forest, because of this, those ordinary people may only live in their birthplace for the rest of their lives, so you can imagine how thrilling and lucky Luo Chen was to escape all the way to Donglin City after escaping from the sea of fire.
Fortunately, tens of thousands of years ago, the spiritual master Li Wei invented the spiritual power train and applied it to the underground passage technology, which made it possible for ordinary people to step out of their homes.
The Spirit Domain, located in the Forest of the Ancient Domain, is a safe place where the power of all spirit masters is gathered, and it is used to provide a place for those who hope to become spirit masters to find 'spirits'.
In the west of Donglin City, there is such a small spiritual domain, and this is also the destination of Luo Chen's trip.
Luo Chen and his entourage passed through the west gate of Donglin City, all the way to the west, as time went by, the scenery around them was slowly changing, the road gradually became less obvious, and the surrounding trees gradually increased, wrapped in a lush tree, which made Luo Chen feel very comfortable, and their fear of the forest was also reduced a lot.
It didn't take long for Luo Chen and the others to come to the entrance of the spiritual realm, although this was the entrance to the spiritual realm in front of them, but Luo Chen did not find the difference between this place and the surrounding environment, if he had to say something different, it was probably that the grass under his feet was a little sparse, probably because someone often stood on it.
"Okay, this is the Spirit Realm, and you will spend the next week in the forest by yourself, so I can't go with you. Yan Lao said with a serious face: "These are spiritual crystals, one of you each, the crystal in each of your hands corresponds to a crystal in my hand, if you encounter danger, I will know if you directly crush this crystal, and someone will naturally appear to save you at that time, but this also means that your experience is over in advance!
"Understood!" Luo Chen and the other students replied loudly.
"Okay, then the experience starts now!" As Yan Lao's voice fell, the students entered the spiritual realm alone or in groups.
Luo Chen and Kuroko were among the last students to enter the spiritual realm.
"Are these two big men the ones who will come to save us?" Kuroko asked in a low whisper as he pointed to the two big men in white robes in front of him before entering the spiritual realm.
"Probably. Luo Chen wasn't sure, "But it's also possible that the guards of this spiritual realm are not necessarily the same." ”
"Yes. Heizi thought about it, although this spiritual domain in Donglin City was very small, it was only compared to other spiritual domains, in Luo Chen's eyes, this spiritual domain was already very large, and it would take at least three days to cross this spiritual domain, such a large spiritual domain really needed some people to take care of it.
Luo Chen didn't know that he had guessed that these two big men were indeed spirit masters sent by the Holy Spirit Temple to guard this spiritual domain, and the purpose was to prevent spirit beasts from occupying this area again.
In the sound of Luo Chen and Heizi chatting without saying a word, all the students entered the spiritual realm.
Yan Lao watched the last child walk into the spiritual realm and sighed lightly, "Children, I wish you good luck!" and then walked straight to the two white-clothed men, "If something unexpected happens, please ask the two of you to help!"
Yan Lao was extremely familiar with each other, and he thought that he had led a team to the Spirit Domain before, and he was already very familiar with the two people in front of him.
"Hmm!" "It's our duty!"
The two big men both looked at the lush forest behind them and nodded in reply.
