"My children, all people in this world, are born with their own different destinies, and these fates cannot be changed in a lifetime, only those who face difficulties and constantly break through obstacles can stand at the top of the world and be proud of the world"

The willows are swaying, and the blue water is rippling beside the small river, Dichen supports the back of his head with both hands, cocks Erlang's legs, and lies on the green grass, his star-like eyes silently look at the blue sky and white clouds, dressed in white like an immortal who is not stained with dust, and his mind keeps echoing the words that his mother said to him when he left when he was five years old.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and now at the age of fifteen, his impression of his mother has long been blurred, but this sentence has lingered in his heart for a long time.

Dichen is one of the four major warlock families in the Divine Capital, and his status can be imagined, however, his noble status has an unknown bitterness and loneliness.

Unlike the other three major warlock families, the Time and Space Clan has always been thin, and the Demon Extermination War sixteen years ago almost wiped out the entire clan, and there are only a few people left today, but these few people have the ability to keep pace with other warlock families.

"Hey, hey," a timid voice came from behind the tree, as piercing as the sound of a mouse.

Di Chen turned his head to look, and when he found that the person who came was Wu Xiang, who was a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a little arc, "Come out, uncle is not here." ”

"Hey, let's talk about it earlier. Wu Xiang, who was fat and meaty, leaned out from behind the tree, "Lao Tzu is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of your strange uncle, and the whole god dares to pick up Lao Tzu's pants." ”

Wu Xiang is the grandson of the patriarch of the Wudao Warlock clan, as far as Di Chen knows, his grandfather named him a "Xiang" character in the hope that he can soar into the sky in the future, looking down on the heroes;

When Di Chen heard this, he laughed out loud, "You have bad behavior, you look fat, and you are idle all day long, and my uncle is worried that I am close to Zhu and black and black." ”

"Hmph!" Wu Xiang sat next to Di Chen and lay down in the same position. "Don't talk about others, don't you know Lao Tzu, appreciating women is the attitude towards life, what kind of behavior is bad, nonsense, what's wrong with getting fat? Eat your family? Idleness is pure nothing, with the wisdom of Lao Tzu, improve cultivation is a matter of minutes. ”

Di Chen smiled and said nothing, he and the former grew up together, they can talk about brotherhood, it is not an exaggeration to say that they know Wuxiang better than their grandfather, the whole god has always thought that Wuxiang's brother is a rare genius of the Wudao clan in a hundred years, in fact, it is not, sometimes even he is afraid of Wuxiang's talent growth.

"Xiao Chenzi, let's participate in the ranking tournament together this year. Wu Xiang said suddenly.

"En?" Di Chen was puzzled and asked, "Why, haven't you been indifferent to fame and fortune for more than ten years, and want to be a chic and comfortable second ancestor?

Wu Xiang didn't joke, he seemed to be melancholy, with a serious face, and said: "Xiao Chenzi, have you been happy in the past ten years? Yes, since your aunt left ten years ago, you have been optimistic, and people can't see your pain, but who can't see that it's pretending, Grandpa Di and Uncle Di also pretend to believe in your strength! Even Lao Tzu now vaguely remembers that when I was a child, my aunt often took the two of us out to play, not to mention you who kissed your son. Don't you want to go out and see the outside world? Don't you want to know the truth about Auntie's departure? Don't you want to reunite with Auntie?"

Dichen was silent, when he was in the academy, whenever he saw other students being cared for by their parents, his heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade, the pain was unbearable, and the blood-dripping sting pain made him unacceptable; in order to escape reality, he rarely went to the academy, and rarely had contact with other peers, if it wasn't for Wuxiang, Dichen might not even have a friend to talk to

Minutes and seconds passed

"Wu Xiang, I have to say that your words have deeply touched my heart, before, I believed in fate, and now on the basis of believing in fate, I must continue to open up my own path. "Dichen seems to have made some kind of decision. He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, he stepped forward, grabbed the other party's chest, and questioned: "It's right to say that you kid is here to enlighten me, but why are you so motivated to participate in the ranking competition?"

Wu Xiang smiled and scratched his head, "Don't hide it from Xiao Chenzi, you said, the little princess of the Guangming family promised Lao Tzu that as long as Lao Tzu won the first place in this year's ranking competition, she would agree to be Lao Tzu's woman." ”

Dichen clenched his fists and swung at the other party's cheeks, "Lean"

A month later, the Academy of Thaumaturgy.

The thaumaturgical academy is the largest and only academy in the divine capital, which includes the children of the four major warlock families, the children of the common people's families, and even the royal princess and prince also study here; it can be said that as long as you are famous in the thaumaturgical academy, the entire divine capital will know about your existence, because this is the cradle of cultivators.

There are two kinds of rankings in the thaumaturgical academy ranking competition, the first is the freshman genius list, in order to let this year's freshmen register students learn from each other, find out good seedlings and focus on training, it is better to say that the ranking competition is not so much that the mentors are selecting proud disciples;

The second type is the Emperor's List, which is specially prepared for those who want to graduate, there is a rule in the thaumaturgy academy that no one is allowed to leave the Shendu without a graduation permit;

As the saying goes, you are not to blame for not being able to win glory for your homeland, but it is your fault for discrediting your homeland.

There are two ways to get the graduation approval, one is to participate in the Emperor List and get the top 100, and the other is to reach the cultivation of the Spirit Star King.

Today is the first day of admission for new students of the thaumaturgy academy, and the flow of people coming and going is endless, and the majestic entrance of the academy records the age and cultivation of the participating students.

"Li Sheng, eleven years old, two-grade mortal star, fire attribute, can enter the Five Elements Warlock Branch. ”

"Wang Jie, eleven years old, four-rank mortal star, earth attribute, can enter the Five Elements Warlock Branch. ”

"Han Rui, eleven years old, a five-rank mortal star, wind attribute, can enter the natural warlock branch. ”

“”

Entering the thaumaturgical academy to practice is generally over ten years old, because only the knowledge related to cultivation is taught here, literacy etiquette and so on are the responsibility of parents, what five or six-year-old genius children, the cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary people, that is all blind, five or six-year-old children do not know all the words, and the cultivation of young children not only does not play a role in strengthening the body, but will be counterproductive.

"Cut, the Five Elements Warlock, the Natural Warlock are all scum, and this year's Emperor List Ranking Tournament will be trampled under Lao Tzu's feet. Wuxiang, who was passing by here, held his head high and said swaggeringly.

Dichen, who was walking beside him, shook his head helplessly, "If you don't show off, you can die?"

Wuxiang stopped, patted Dichen on the shoulder, looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said: "Xiao Chenzi, you don't understand this, women like capable and well-known people, how can Lao Tzu attract girls if he is not high-profile, learn from you." After speaking, it seems that the expression of your brother's world that you don't understand takes the first step.

Looking at the back in the distance, Di Chen silently said to himself, "With this figure, it's hard to think of being famous." ”

There are three branches of the thaumaturgical academy, namely the Five Elements Warlock Branch, which is attributed to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the Natural Warlock Branch, which is attributed to Wind and Thunder, Light and Darkness, and the students corresponding to their attributes will be assigned to their respective branches. The Wudao Warlock Branch is a natal attribute, and only the descendants of the Wudao clan can come here to cultivate and learn.

Sixteen years ago, there was actually another branch of the thaumaturgical academy, that is, the space-time branch, but it was abolished due to the catastrophe of the demon slaying war, and Dichen, as the only boy in the space-time clan, was exceptionally assigned to the Wudao Warlock Branch, which was also because his uncle was the second-in-command of the thaumaturgical academy.

Compared to the Five Elements Warlock Branch and the Natural Warlock Branch, the Wudao Warlock Branch was unusually deserted.

In the open space that projected bright spots of light cut by the branches and leaves of the willow trees, hundreds of figures sat quietly, this is a group of slightly young girls and teenagers, and at this time, they are all serious with their eyes slightly closed, and the breath between the snorts presents a very rhythmic feeling, and with the breath of breathing, their bodies seem to have a subtle light that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

The breeze blew quietly, and the clothes fluttered, but it was a little spectacular.

"Look, look at Lao Tzu's Wudao Warlock Branch, each quiet as a virgin, immovable as a mountain, this is what a cultivator should do, which is like others, what this attribute is good and that attribute is good, there is a wool to use; serious cultivation is the king's way. Wuxiang, who was not far away, chattered non-stop while walking.

Dichen hadn't been to the academy for more than a year, and there were some fresh faces from afar, presumably all his former peers should have graduated.

In front of these hundreds of figures, there was a stone platform, and Wuxiang, who was walking slowly, stepped up, cleared his throat, and said, "Little ones, all of you are listening to Lao Tzu one by one."

Suddenly, hundreds of eyes from the audience cast curious glances at the stone platform.

"A year ago, Lao Tzu's elder brother Wuming Wudao Warlock Branch achieved a moment of glory and won the third place on the imperial list; this year, Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu's brother will win the first and second on the imperial list; ”

"Neuropathy. ”

"Idiot. ”

"Brain-dead. ”

“”

Dichen, who was dozens of zhang away from the stone platform, was full of black lines in an instant, he thought that Wuxiang came to the academy for no reason to do it, now he understands, don't regret it, this is the rhythm of the head being squeezed by the door, what is the broken logic, last year's and this year's can be counted together!?

Shame on you

At the same time, at the top of the Linglong Pagoda in the center of the thaumaturgical academy, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking down, laughing, showing a happy posture, and his gaze fell on the square of the Wudao Warlock Branch, "The two most talented young men in history finally can't bear the loneliness?
