Chapter 18 Do I need after-school tuition?
"Bang! Ping Pong! Ronan flew upside down and knocked down the tables, chairs, and chairs that were used as props along the way.
He lay in the middle of the remnants of the smashed tables and chairs, gasping for breath as beads of sweat the size of soybeans rained down on the shock-absorbing carpet.
Mixed martial arts instructor Zhuang Chong said dissatisfiedly: "What are you pretending to be dead? Get up! I didn't even do it! ”
Ronan was supported by his arms, barely off the ground.
Up and down the body, there is no place without soreness.
The mouth is filled with the taste of salty blood.
But it wasn't an internal injury, it was just a bite of the lip.
Although Zhuang Chong, a rough man, had a very stinky mouth, his subordinates actually showed mercy, and kicked him out with skill.
Under the protection of a full set of protective gear, bumps and bruises and swelling were inevitable, but they did not cause him to be seriously injured.
Luo Nan slowly got up, silently patted the dust off his body, walked a few steps, and bent down to pick up the wooden training knife that had just been knocked down.
Zhuang Chong dragged one hand into the trouser pocket of his practice uniform, and shook it casually with a wooden knife in his right hand, as if he had shaken off the blood on the knife, his movements were quite chic, but unfortunately his words were very inadequate, "I have never seen such a stupid student as you, three days have passed, and you have not made any progress at all." I want to call the leader and cancel this course, you can't learn anything anyway, it's a waste of time. ”
Several staff members next to him who cleaned up the props and tutored and taught all pursed their lips and smiled.
Ronan didn't reply.
He doesn't like mouth cannons.
Glancing at the system panel, Luo Nan silently thought: It's almost there.
You'll soon have enough XP points to improve your skills.
The reproach of today will be repaid tenfold in the coming day.
~~~~~~~
After the martial arts class, there is the "Fundamentals of Extraordinary Strength" class.
Luo Nan wants to play the role of a middle-level person in the cult who often comes into contact with extraordinary powers, a close confidant of the archbishop, and it doesn't make sense if he doesn't know a little about extraordinary powers.
"It's swollen." Seeing Luo Nan sitting silently on the sofa opposite him, Jiang Qiubai frowned.
"Huh?"
"Face." Jiang Qiubai raised his slender jade finger and pointed to the position of Luo Nan's ear and cheek.
"Oh," Ronan touched, "hiss...... It's okay. ”
"Let's go to class." Jiang Qiubai retracted his cold gaze.
Luo Nan cheered up and listened.
In fact, he didn't understand why the Fundamentals of Extraordinary Strength course always had to be placed after the fighting class.
Because every time like this, he was sore, exhausted, and had difficulty concentrating.
It's not his problem, it's not that he doesn't work hard enough, he doesn't take it seriously enough.
Rather, no one can concentrate after two hours of being punched, kicked, or slashed with a wooden knife.
Perhaps, the Demon Town Division doesn't want him to know too much about transcendent knowledge, and just wants to be perfunctory?
However, Jiang Qiubai did not perfunctory Luo Nan.
Although her attitude has always been slightly cold, many times she gives people a subtle feeling of "sister, I'm actually too lazy to pay attention to you, just doing business".
But when she teaches, she is very detailed; And no matter how exhaustive Luo Nan is, she will answer patiently - as long as it does not involve confidentiality.
"What I'm going to talk about today is that under the transcendent power system, there are several transcendent powers of different natures."
"As far as is known, there are a total of eight natures of transcendent power, and based on any of them, it is possible to become a transcendent: the Demon Master. And the transcendents who are promoted with extraordinary powers of different natures will also have different special abilities. ”
"The supernatural powers of these eight natures are ......"
Ronan had been trying to listen carefully.
If there is something I don't understand, I just write it down secretly.
It wasn't until the second half of the course that he asked questions one after another.
Lonan: "Can a man be transcendent?" ”
Jiang Qiubai: "Official, public answer: no way. ”
"Actually?"
Jiang Qiubai: "No comment. ”
Lonan: "What does it take to become a transcendent?" ”
Jiang Qiubai: "Appropriate qualifications include the three dimensions of spirituality, reason and fit; the carrier of extraordinary power, that is, the essence of demons; Then, there is a gradual process of contact with the supernatural powers. Finally, at a certain time, in a specific ceremony, the promotion is carried out. ”
Luo Nan: "I have some demon essence in my body now, which was implanted by the cult organization. If I continue to increase this demon essence, can I become a transcendent? ”
Jiang Qiubai: "No, we don't have mastered the kind of ritual of the Three Pillars God Sect, so if you rashly increase the demon essence to the transcendent level, it is more likely that you will lose control of your alienation and die in the process." The chance of death is more than 99.99%. Then again, do you think implanting demon essence can be done casually? Eat like you drink water and eat? Did you listen to the lessons I taught you before? ”
Lonan: "......"
Jiang Qiubai: "By the way, in the process of this mission, if you can get the kind of ritual of promoting transcendents inherited by the Three Pillars Divine Sect, you can definitely get a huge contribution, which is enough in exchange for the top transcendents of our Demon Suppression Division to clear the hidden dangers in your body for you." ”
Lonan: "Didn't you say that it is impossible for a man to be transcendent? Then this so-called promotion ceremony must not be successful, right? ”
Jiang Qiubai: "Of course it can't be successful, but I'm sure that this ceremony can really exchange a lot of contributions." ”
"I'll try."
……
After the class of Transcendent Strength General Knowledge, it was time for dinner.
Today's dinner was white rice, a little fresh mashed potatoes, artificial meat.
In this world, it is already a sumptuous meal.
The restaurant was bustling with activity.
Luo Nan held the plate with sore hands and sat down in a low-key corner of the restaurant.
This secret base is a training ground for the internal personnel of the Demon Division Headquarters (not the Capital Branch), and in addition to Luo Nan, there are other participants.
Luo Nan took classes in a different place than them, so he usually didn't look at each other.
Luo Nan actually wanted to talk to these people, after all, people are social creatures, and when they first arrived, they were full of curiosity about the world.
However, he is going to go undercover next, and he should not have too much contact with other people.
"Is there anyone here?" Without waiting for Luo Nan to answer, Willow Yeats had already sat down beside him with a fresh fragrance.
She didn't hesitate to stuff a mouthful of mashed potatoes, chewing carefully, while showing an expression of enjoyment, her eyes were almost narrowed, like a lazy cat basking in the sun on a summer afternoon.
Her short hair was messy, and she obviously came over to eat directly after taking a nap, without grooming.
"I heard that you were beaten again today? Zhuang Chong said, you are one of the students he has taught, with the best comprehension and the fastest learning, but what's the use, you are not an extraordinary person, no matter how hard you practice, can you deal with the extraordinary? If you want me to say, instead of practicing martial arts, you should spend more time learning and arming your mind. After swallowing the mashed potatoes, Yeats said with a smile.
At this time, Luo Nan had already eaten the contents of his plate, and he almost licked the plate.
The master chef of this safe house is really good, using the simplest ingredients, but the dishes can make people swallow their tongues.
It's a pity that the meals are limited and can't be filled.
"Martial arts practice is not about fighting, it's about strengthening the body and exercising the will. But I'd love to learn more. Lonan regretfully put down his plate and spoon.
"Oh, I'll make up for you that night." Willow Yeats winked at him.
