Seeing that the eastern sky was showing the white belly of the fish, Wuji did not dare to delay any longer, and helped the queen down the Tianshu Tower.

The queen had not slept all night, and seemed to be in good spirits, at least better than she had been when she had seen her the previous morning.

"Your Highness has worked hard. Wuji stretched out his arm and let the queen hold it. "Still, it looks good. ”

"It may be the role of Guiyuan Dan. The queen smiled rarely. "It may also be that I saw that you were serious and saw hope. When there is hope, the spirit is always better. ”

Wuji thought for a while: "Empress, I hope it's not on me, I don't have the ability to transform, it is difficult to enter the Heavenly Academy, at most I can only be a guest." If the queen can break through the realm as soon as possible and achieve the Great Perfection......"

"Mirages can only be simulated, they have no combat power, and even the Great Perfection can't change this fact. The queen took Wuji's hand and shook it gently, interrupting Wuji. "It's not a peaceful time now, the great masters of the Heavenly Academy can deter the other six academies by accumulating authority, if you want to revive the majesty of the Heavenly Academy, you must have strong combat effectiveness. ”

"Your Highness......" Wuji smiled bitterly: "My combat effectiveness is very weak." ”

"But at the beginning of the Fierce Realm, you can defeat the seventh order of the Xuan Realm, and your combat power is still weak?"

"That's cheating, not real skills. ”

The queen looked at him in surprise and burst out laughing. "You say that you are cheating, but you don't hide it at all. ”

:

"Actually, I don't like to cheat, I believe in strength more. Wuji touched his head embarrassedly. "It's just that my strength is too poor, so in order to survive, I have to cheat. Now that my hole cards are known, there is nothing to cheat, so ......"

"Don't be afraid. The queen comforted: "Although you are a native of the original, you are proficient in the Book of Heaven, although your cultivation time is very short, you have opened the gate of heaven, and although you are a little reckless, you can come back from Zifu Mountain alive, no matter how you look at it." None of you should be insignificant. I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself. ”

Mowgli is speechless, this is simply gambling. Always pinning your hopes on the so-called providence is the most unreliable thing.

The two talked and went down to the Heavenly Book Tower. Ying Ziqing got up and opened the door and watched the two leave. Walking in the spacious courtyard of the Heavenly Academy, Wuji saw rows of small stone towers, that is, more than one person high, which looked like a lamppost, but there was no room for lamps inside.

"What is this for?"

"Your Lonely Tower for the second round of testing. The queen stopped. Walked around the stone tower. "At that time, you will be locked up inside, and you will not see anything, you will not hear anything, as if you were alone in the void. ”

"Why such a test?"

"The most important thing in practicing the Book of Heaven is to endure loneliness, and people who are impetuous are destined to achieve nothing. The Loneliness Tower tests the mind, and the longer you can stay in it, the more you can endure loneliness. That's why it's called the Tower of Loneliness. ”

"Well, I'm not afraid. Mowgli smiled. When it comes to being willing to be lonely, he still has an advantage.

"The Lonely Tower is more than that. Seeing Wuji's appearance, the queen also found it interesting. The tone of his voice was also lighter. "At the same time of loneliness, there is also indescribable pain. If you can endure loneliness, you may not be able to endure pain. ”

"Pain?"

"You don't deform, you don't know the pain of deformation. The queen said faintly: "At the moment of transformation." All human bones, flesh, and meridians will become another form, and the pain is unimaginable. If you can't bear the pain, it's hard to deform. ”

"Then I won't be deformed. Will you feel the pain too?"

"Yes, the Tower of Loneliness is able to simulate this condition and trigger your sense of pain, just like the pain of a transfiguration. The queen raised her head and looked at Wuji with pity. "Actually, I wish you could really feel the pain, not just the pain inflicted by the Tower of Loneliness. ”

Mowgli shrugged his shoulders, expressing his unacceptability to the queen's naïve idea. What's the difference between that and waiting for pie to fall from the sky?

"Even if I survive the second round of testing, what about the third round?"

"I don't know, I'll leave it to fate. The queen shook her head: "I hope you can figure out the reason for the failure of the Hundred Variation Pill within this month, and then use the Hundred Transformation Pill to stimulate the transformation ability and pass the test smoothly." Otherwise......"

She closed her thin lips and said no more. From her eyes, Wuji saw the same determination as Yingyi.

......

After separating from the queen, Wuji immediately rushed to Shi's house and studied the relevant information with Shi Zhengqing. In the biographies of the successive great masters, he did not find any clues, nor could he find any clues that might lead to the failure of the Hundred Variation Pill.

Shi Zhengqing also felt scratching his head. However, he has been a chef for half his life, and he has experienced countless failures in the development of new dishes, so he will not be in a mess all of a sudden. He and Wuji analyzed and discussed together for the next direction of the research system.

In this direction, Wuji and Shi Zhengqing are very similar, not only have the carefulness that ordinary people do not have, but also have the unimaginable resilience of ordinary people, and will never be depressed because of a temporary setback.

In the following month, Mowgli became the most special preparation candidate. Although he lives in the Heavenly Academy, he rarely goes to the Heavenly Academy to read like other candidates, either discussing the plan with Shi Zhengqing, or thinking alone. He also entered the Tianshu Tower, but in the dead of night, together with the queen, he flipped through the twenty-three-story Tianshu Pagoda at will.

Unfortunately, a month passed by in a hurry, and their research reached an impasse and did not make any meaningful progress.

In contrast, there was good news from the queen: with the assistance of a large number of Guiyuan Dan, she successfully rose to two orders in a row. The combat effectiveness is still very scummy, but there is no problem at all with the simulacrum that lasts for two days at a time.

According to past experience, it takes a maximum of one day for two hundred candidates, and even if there is an accident and a little delay, the queen can deal with it calmly and not show flaws.

......

On a rainy morning, the retest began.

Wuji and his almost complete stranger stood in the square in front of the Tianshu Tower, waiting for the retest to begin.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Wuji was ostracized by the collective, standing alone in a corner.

In a month's time, most of the people have already known each other, know each other's origins, and formed a larger or smaller circle, even a few candidates from the border counties have the same situation, but Wuji is an outlier.

He was the only commoner who did not have an official position, and during this time, the number of times he appeared in the Heavenly Book Tower could be counted on one hand, and each time the time was very short, and many people had never seen him.

However, almost everyone has heard of him. A primitive person who has no ability to transform, doesn't know what way to get through, makes friends with the Seventh Prince, and blends into the examination room, although he didn't answer a question correctly, he got the opportunity to retake the test, and it is possible to enter the Heavenly Academy as a special enrollment.

Special moves mean unfairness, which is annoying enough, but the most annoying thing about Mowgli is not this thing.

is also because of the Seven Princes, Wuji doesn't know what luck he had, broke the formula of Guiyuan Dan, and partnered with the Shi family to start the Guiyuan Dan business. While the Shi family made a lot of money, this country boy also became a typical example of getting rich overnight.

Not to mention anything else, his mute sister swaggered through the market every day with a bowl of Guiyuan Dan, chewing like candy, which was enough to cause public anger. Now the market price of Guiyuan Dan is ten gold pieces, but this little mute eats Guiyuan Dan as a snack, can it not make people blush?

This is simply naked hatred.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a countryman, but anyone who has a little insight will not do such a ostentatious thing.

What will happen to those who provoke the anger of the people?

These days, although Mowgli hasn't shown up much, he has become an outlier in the eyes of everyone. As soon as he appeared, the chatter began one after another, and there was no pause for a moment, but no one stepped forward to talk to him.

It doesn't matter if he is unscrupulous, he is used to being a maverick and never cares about the so-called mass attitude. This was true in previous lives, and even more so in this life.

What's more, if the test that comes up can't pass Guò and can't officially enter the Heavenly Academy, he may become a guest of Yingyi, or he may leave Xianyang, in short, he won't have any intersection with these people, so why care about their attitude.

At this time, it is better to think more about the Hundred Variation Pill. He had ten Hundred Variation Pills in his pocket, and if he could crack the secret of opening the Hundred Variety Pill at the last moment and stimulate his transformation ability, he might still have a chance of life.

Linghu Minzhi saw Wuji, hesitated for a moment, and still walked over.

"Mowgli, how are you preparing?"

Wuji smiled, took out a Guiyuan Pill from his pocket, threw it to Linghu Minzhi, and took out another one and threw it into his mouth, chewed it exaggeratedly, and deliberately let the people next to him see it.

Linghu Minzhi took the Guiyuan Dan and carefully put it away. "You don't doubt me anymore?"

"Until I find conclusive evidence, I choose to believe you. Wuji smiled: "What about you, how are you preparing?"

Ling Hu Minzhi turned his head to look at the lonely towers. "You know, for us, it's just going through the motions. If it weren't for you, several national teachers wouldn't have been there at all. ”

"Wouldn't I have a lot of face?"

"yes. However, if you can't pass the guò test in the end, you will also lose face and may be laughed at by them for the rest of your life. ”

"What about you?" Wuji was indifferent, and took out another Guiyuan Pill and threw it into his mouth. "What would you think of me?"

Ling Hu Minzhi smiled helplessly. "Wuji, why do you have to do it so flamboyantly and become a public enemy, you are satisfied?"

"It's mediocre not to recruit people. Even if I give everyone a smile, they won't take me seriously. In that case, why should I please them?" Wuji asked rhetorically, "In case I pass the exam and become a disciple of the ascending hall, even if they don't like me, don't they have to call me Senior Brother obediently?"

"That's right. If you can pass the guò test and become a disciple of the ascending hall, even I have to call you Senior Brother. ”

"Well, that's a good call. Mowgli laughed. "I love it. ”-
