Chapter 1: Nightmares
Otherworldly Continent, Pupil Realm, Beizhou, Mutong City.
The scorching sun scorched every inch of the earth's skin, and Mu Chen stood in front of a large stone, staring at the strange patterns that loomed on the stone surface.
Suddenly, on the waiting seat far away from Mu Chen, there was a noisy discussion, and the voices came and went.
"Look, look at the Eye Stone, there's a change on it!" A round-faced disciple shouted,
"Listen to my father, this is a sign of a wasted pupil!"
The man who spoke, about a teenager, was an ordinary disciple of the Mu family.
When he was explaining the method of judging pupils to his companions endlessly, he suddenly saw a subtle change in the stone in front of Mu Chen, and only then did he have this scene.
For no reason, a strange middle-aged man quietly appeared beside him.
The middle-aged man did not have any energy fluctuations in his body, like a bottomless abyss that could not be seen to the end.
Soon, the middle-aged man glanced at him casually.
Mocked: "Humph! .... Guy with no eyesight, if this is a waste pupil, then you are not even as good as a waste, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”
A hint of surprise and displeasure flashed in the round-faced young man's eyes, and immediately, he was a little unconvinced, smiling and squinting at him.
"Humph! I don't know what the opinions of my predecessors are, so I might as well talk about it and listen to it, so that our disciples can also increase our knowledge. ”
The surrounding disciples felt that the other party was a little supportive, and echoed in unison.
"yes, let's hear about it too!"
The middle-aged man no longer paid attention to the group of disciples in front of him, looked at the pupil stone with bright eyes, and muttered to himself.
"The stone veins are golden, the color is positive, the lines are rugged, winding and horizontal, this is the inner layer; The stone veins are dull, the color is mottled, the lines are single, flat and straight, and this is the outer layer. Seemingly...... I wasn't wrong! ”
After a pause, his gaze fell on the tall figure in the center of the square, revealing a satisfied smile.
At this time, after listening to his ambiguous words, the round-faced disciple on the side felt confused and asked;
"What do you mean? Can you make it clearer? ”
The middle-aged man glanced at him and quickly withdrew his gaze.
After groaning for a long time, I saw that its tiger body was shocked, as if it had been stripped of its soul, and it hung its head to maintain its stunned appearance.
After that, he didn't say a word more, and even if several other disciples were involved later, he remained silent and looked sluggish.
“……………”
Seeing that the other party ignored him, the round-faced young man felt that he had nowhere to put his anger, but he felt that the person opposite was not simple, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
At this time, the figure on Mujia Square moved again.
Mu Chen's eyes stared at the pupil stone, trying to see the result. And next to the divine stone, there was an old man with fairy wind bones, suddenly, the old man's eyes moved to his side, calmly brushed his beard, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Young Master Mu, have you seen the divine stone in front of you? Remember, if you use your heart to sense, the lines just now are not obvious enough, and the pupil stone can't react. ”
Mu Chen said: "Thank you, senior!" ”。
Immediately, a trace of determination flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, and he resolutely stepped forward, the closer he got to the Divine Stone, the more nervous he became, he was afraid that the result he got would not be satisfactory.
A finger landed on the white jade-like divine stone, and a little luster appeared as if it were nothing, and the pattern just now instantly collapsed, and finally peeled off a few words that flashed red: "Born with a waste pupil, primary." ”
Sure enough, the most feared thing still happened, and Mu Chenshi's eyes that were still full of hope suddenly darkened.
At the same moment, some disciples not far from Mu Chen also began to whisper, their voices mixed with sighs and regrets.
"Hey! Isn't that a genius Mu Chen! Tsk, it's a shame that it's a waste pupil! ”
"Yes! It's a pity, the third young master Mu Chen was the champion of physical arts in the last session. If you can't cultivate, I'm afraid you'll be expelled from your home!"
"According to the rules of the Mu family, those who can't cultivate, including his biological parents and brothers and sisters, will be kicked out."
Several disciples were far away, discussing this, while looking at Mu Chen sympathetically.
And on the other side, on the elder's seat in front of Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's group of uncles and uncles, after a short sigh and melancholy, their hypocritical little eyes were quickly replaced by disgust and fear, and ugly faces appeared on their faces.
They also began to talk to each other.
The chaotic sound made Mu Chen's perception gradually numb, but the voices of ridicule and ridicule were extremely clear.
There are those who insult themselves for turning into waste in an instant; There is a stone that falls into the well, ridiculing the Mu family that his family will be expelled; What's more, he behaved very reservedly, but the smile was already on the verge of flooding his face.
On Mujia Square, Mu Chen turned a deaf ear to the ridicule of the people around him, just hung his head and didn't say a word, and left the square sadly.
When Mu Chen walked out of the square, the whole person staggered and almost fell.
As agreed, he came to a remote rockery.
Mu Chen, who was depressed, leaned against the wall with his hands, and there seemed to be tears looming in his eyes, but after he blinked, the tears were held back again.
He smiled miserably, looked at the blue clouds during the day, and comforted himself in his heart, it was better than the blind man in the previous life.
But when he thought of his father's expectations, the whole person suddenly became melancholy and worried.
The pupil loser represents bad luck and misfortune, and if the test is not wrong, their family will be kicked out of the Mu family together.
For Mu Chen, this is tantamount to a nightmare that can be filmed.
After all, his father had great expectations for him, and he didn't want to disappoint his father, who was fighting far away.
Just when he was thinking about how to explain to his relatives, suddenly, a laugh sounded in Mu Chen's ears.
"Little one, don't you really think you're a wasted pupil!"
