Chapter 67: A Change in Certain Attitudes (Part I)
If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it will be short, and it has been ten days since the episode that happened between Ziling and Du Heng - and this means that it has been less than nine days since the beginning of that bloody oath of revenge......
And the past ten days, although it is not long, not short, but it is enough for many things to happen-
For example, as the news of Xia Kucao's victory over Du Heng gradually came out, the rumors of the 'double waste of the academy' that had been circulating had come to an abrupt end, but what could spread the news was undoubtedly some bystanders who were on the island in the middle of the lake at the time, and Xia Kucao offended those people very badly, and he would not get a trace of positive comments in their mouths.
And after that—and I don't know which of the nobles who knew about it, the blood oath of revenge that was about to take place between Xia Kucao and Bai Li—naturally aroused the almost unanimous indignation of the students of the whole academy - no matter what their identities were, since they were all students of this Seal Master Academy, they would always be proud and love their alma mater, and the so-called alma mater was the existence that they could scold tens of thousands of words, but they would never allow others to say the last sentence.
But when some well-informed students compared the strength of the two sides, the original anger turned into silence - the result of the battle between Xia Wither and Du Heng could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, so no one would believe that this lucky victory could happen again.
So at the instigation of some people, this anger quickly turned into resentment after turning into silence, and they began to complain about Prunella's ignorance, hoping that he would voluntarily drop out of school in order to preserve the reputation of the college as much as possible...... And it began to fall on his head.
'Greedy for life and fear of death, ignorant of honor and disgrace!'
These naked, derogatory terms were first expressed by the gaze, then developed into deliberate whispers, and then developed into high-minded talk and even extremely insulting gestures in front of him......
All of a sudden, the life of Prunella in the academy turned out to be a bit of a trembling and trembling one—and this meaning was escalating...... Soon, Xia Kucao asked herself that it was not far from enjoying the situation of 'rats crossing the street and everyone shouting and beating', and her mood became a little low.
But the real reason that caused his mood to fall into depression and even change his attitude was that when these ten days passed, his realm had only been raised from the Void Illusion Realm to the Void Reality Realm, far from reaching the Awakening Soul that he expected......
What's even more distressing is that he can't even recognize whether his change in the realm of illusion and reality is caused by these ten days of penance, or whether it is just the knowledge of the world that he has absorbed from Ma Lin...... Still playing a role?
The realm of the sealer is so confusing, although the current Xia Kucao is in the fourth of the nine realms, and it is said that it is more than a third, but the initial opening and hazy realm are just a matter of course, and the formal cultivation of the sealer has always only started from the realm of the void and reality known as the 'Heavenly Pass', and most of the ordinary people on the mainland are also stuck in this level - this is also the minimum standard for admission to this Seal Master Academy...... It also needs to be the biggest reason for candidates with empty vision.
- In addition, what is even more troublesome is that due to the taboo of the sealer, Xia Kucao cannot get help from the sea sands or even the collection of the library, and although the cultivation of the sealer is simple and clear enough to cover it in one word, it is precisely because of this...... It is particularly illusory and lacks a sense of direction.
Therefore, with a simple calculation, it became clear that no matter which of the two guesses was the result of his realm ascension in these ten days, they would not be enough to send him to the Awakening in the remaining nine days.
So he began to be depressed, and gradually became a little confused and even complained about the meaning of the existence of the Seal Master Academy, in his opinion, the practice here is just reading books, reading books and reading books, and it can only be called a library, so how can the word 'academy' come from the meaning of preaching and solving doubts?
But at the same time, he was also prepared for the worst - to face Bai Li, who was undoubtedly in the realm of real sealing, with the cultivation of the Void Realm or the Reality Realm.
— and this will undoubtedly require the help of some people.
So when another day of hard reading was over, Prunella knocked on the door of Haijinsha, ready to have a good talk with the other party.
Xia Kucao, who sat down heavily under the greeting of his senior brother, took the best tea handed by the other party, took a sip of it very tastelessly, and then elaborated on the dissatisfaction and doubts in his heart.
Hai Jinsha was silent for a while when he heard this, but then suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Senior brother, do you remember Bai Changshan...... What do you call me?"
Xia Kucao has a good memory, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth, "Bai Changshan, call your senior brother, Hai Ershao, right?"
He still used interrogative sentences, obviously not understanding what the other party meant.
"So above me, there is naturally a big brother. ”
Hai Jinsha put down the teacup in his hand and added, "My eldest brother is naturally still alive and well, but he is not studying at any of the Seal Master Academy. ”
And Bai Li...... It's the same. ”
After hearing this, Xia Kucao squinted directly, and suddenly remembered that Bai Quartz had mentioned to him intentionally or unintentionally that he had accepted the tradition that all blue-blooded nobles would send their second sons to study at the Seal Master Academy before he would enroll, and before Bai Alum died, he should have been ...... Make up for your own position in the goal.
"Senior brother, what do you mean ......?"
"Sealer Academy, I can't learn anything. Hai Jinsha directly gave a conclusion, and then glanced at the prunella grass with some deep meaning, before continuing: "At least ordinary students...... Before he was favored by the tutors in the academy and became the real disciples of the other party, he couldn't learn anything at all. ”
"Therefore, the real big nobles in the Codex, such as the nine blue-blooded nobles where I belong, will never send their son-in-law, that is, the future head of the family, to any Seal Master Academy to study, but will cultivate them within the family. ”
"As for the second son...... Hai Jinsha also narrowed his eyes and said extremely coldly: "I will be arranged to enter the Sealing Master Academy, and I will try to become an 'unusual' student like a lucky one." ”
Prunella is not stupid, and she can see a lot of intentions in this arrangement of these great nobles, and the most conspicuous of them is undoubtedly that this arrangement can effectively cut off the covetousness of the second son of the family, the direct son of the head of the family, who is extremely competitive.
This topic was naturally inconvenient to discuss with his senior brother, so he quickly changed the topic and put forward a second request.
"Senior brother, from tomorrow onwards, I would like to ask you to fight with me. ”
Hai Jinsha was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, and asked a little hurriedly: "You broke through?"
Summer Grass shook her head and replied honestly, "I need to prepare for the worst. ”
Immediately, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and he said listlessly: "But if the information on that stack of paper is true, then as long as I don't break my soul for a day, I won't be Bai Li's opponent for a day." ”
Xia Kucao's attitude was undoubtedly a bit negative, but he was the truth, so Hai Jinsha was only silent, and it was not until a long time later that he reacted, and persuaded him very bluntly: "Du Heng...... It is definitely stronger than Bai Li, you can defeat Du Heng, and you may not have no chance. ”
"Senior brother, you don't know...... I can win Senior Du because ......"
"Stop!" Hai Jinsha waved his sleeves extremely unhappily, frowned and reprimanded: "How many times have you said it, don't talk about the private things in your realm to others!"
But then he slowed down his voice and reminded solemnly, "Don't forget what I said." ”
Hai Jinsha looked at each other's eyes deeply, looking extremely serious, "Don't forget...... You are my goal, so you and I will have a fight, and I ...... Just expect a fair fight, understand?"
Xia Kucao could understand the two meanings of the other party's words, knowing that the other party was unswervingly believing that he would defeat Bai Li and survive until this moment, he couldn't help but cheer up, even if his negative attitude would not be directly reversed, but it was much better.
It's just that just as he wanted to show his determination, he heard the other party's next question - his heart jumped.
"Those secrets on your body ......" Hai Jinsha narrowed his eyes again, and asked very coldly, "I haven't told anyone, have you?" After a slight pause, Hai Jinsha repeated in an accent: "Anyone ......"
“...... No. ”
"Good. Hai Jinsha glanced at the sky outside, waved his hand, and picked up the tea.
Xia Kucao already knew that the serving of tea in this world also represented a send-off, and he did get up conveniently, bent down, and temporarily put aside all his troubled thoughts, and ran out very excitedly.
Looking at his back, Hai Jinsha was slightly silent...... He took out a letter from a secret compartment under the table, and seriously read the letter that he had read many times, and then ...... He clenched his fist heavily.
