Chapter 5: This man will use shady tricks
The morning sun shone on Ye Chen's face, and a few drops of sweat ran down his cheeks. Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, was rapidly running his soul power, and suddenly he opened his eyes and shouted softly: "Soul Suppression Thorn." ”
As soon as the shouting fell, a soul needle shot out from the center of his eyebrows, this soul needle was only a little larger than a toothpick, it was condensed by soul power and looked extremely transparent, and it rotated at high speed without driving a trace of airflow. The place where the soul needle passes is like piercing a line in the air, and as the soul needle passes, the line quickly closes and disappears.
After a good night's sleep, Ye Chen, who got up early, was in good spirits, and recalled the process of successfully casting the Soul Suppression Thorn last night, so he practiced while the iron was hot.
Ye Chen was very focused during the practice, and before he knew it, more than an hour had passed, and he had successfully cast nine times in more than 30 drills. At first, there were frequent failures, and the more successful they were, the more they succeeded, until they successfully cast Ye Chen three times in a row.
Ye Chen stood up and wiped the sweat with his hands, his body was a little numb after sitting cross-legged for a long time, and he was thinking while moving, the release of the soul suppression thorn was basically no problem, but the time to condense the soul needle was a bit long, and the fastest one also took seven seconds to shoot three meters, the distance is acceptable, but who will stand there and wait for you for seven seconds, it seems that more practice is needed to speed up the condensation speed.
At this time, an old voice came into the dormitory and interrupted Ye Chen's thoughts: "Good morning young people, I am the dean of the beast control branch, the new students can call me "Luo Lao", today I will issue student uniforms and badges to the new students, and they will all gather in the junior lecture hall as soon as possible." ”
Hearing Luo Lao's words, Ye Chen's happy mood was indescribable, it has been more than a month since he was recruited to the academy at the age of fifteen this year, in this month, their new students have no courses, only learn how to cultivate soul power and command soul beasts, and then there is a weekly branch competition, today he is finally going to become a formal student, and he is also one step closer to the goal in Ye Chen's heart.
Ye Chen was a declining son of a nobleman, and his great-grandfather had made great contributions to the Thundering Empire, and was rewarded with a hereditary baron title by the king at the time, and a large piece of fertile land outside Qingshui City was given as a fief.
There are two kinds of titles: hereditary and lifelong, the hereditary title can be inherited by descendants and has a fief, the fief is completely self-made, just like a country China, the property and management rights are owned by the owner of the fief, and a thousand-person army can be formed. The lifelong title cannot be passed on to future generations, and there is no fief or the right to form an army.
But when Ye Chen's grandfather was old, a new king succeeded to the throne. The new king was authoritarian, and felt that hereditary titles divided his dominion, so he issued new decrees. If the father dies but the son is not eligible, then all the fiefs are temporarily taken over by the state, and if the son dies and the grandson is not eligible, the fief and title are permanently withdrawn.
Ye Chen's father was an ordinary person without any talent, so he failed to inherit the title after his grandfather died. Ye Chen's grandfather died when he was nine years old, so Ye Chen was also a young master before the age of nine, and he was carefree in fine clothes and food.
But after the age of nine, Ye Chen and his father left the fiefdom and moved to live in Qingshui City, and their lives were very poor. At that time, Ye Chen was often bullied by the children of the nobles in the city, saying that their family was a fake nobleman, and he was a fake young master who deserved to be bullied. Ye Chen, who was bullied again when he was ten years old, secretly ran back to the small castle of the fiefdom and used the secret passage that only he knew to enter his grandfather's previous study.
Ye Chen cried in the study all day, and found the ancient scroll and an egg when he was hungry and looking for food at night, and on that day, the ten-year-old Ye Chen successfully contracted an egg. From that day on, Ye Chen was inspired to successfully graduate from the Imperial Royal Academy and get back the glory that should have belonged to their family.
In the lecture hall, Ye Chen, who was wearing a green student uniform, happily adjusted his clothes, and the iron egg was placed on the table by him, and the little guy sniffed it and looked at the rare activity over there. There were also twenty-nine young boys and girls around who were also as happy as Ye Chen, if Han Batian and his little brother were here, they would probably despise these people.
"Squeak" The door of the lecture hall was pushed open, and everyone's eyes were attracted to it, and the first to come in was an old man, with a peaceful face and white beard, dressed in a green robe, followed by two instructors.
The identity of the academy personnel can be identified by the clothes they wear, the main courtyard is white, the mage branch is blue, the warrior branch is red, the beast control branch is green, the branch dean wears a robe of the same color as the branch under his jurisdiction, the vice president of the main academy wears a golden robe, and the dean wears an extra dean's crown on his head, which symbolizes the highest power of the college.
It was Luo Lao who came in, "Congratulations on becoming a junior student of the Beast Control Branch, and then test the soul power and soul beast level for you, and the information will be recorded in the academy badge and issued to you, don't lose it very expensive." The kind Luo Lao also made a little joke with everyone.
After the mentor puts the instrument in place, the test begins, and the soul power tested by everyone is about the same, eighty to ninety, and the soul beasts are basically eight or nine order beasts. If Iron Egg hadn't devoured the Thunder Demon Eagle, Ye Chen would be a scumbag.
Everyone is eager to test, and they all want to know what kind of strength they have achieved now. The test was conducted by a girl with brown hair, a long curtain, a short ponytail, and a medium thin.
She was also followed by a tree that could walk, the trunk and one side of the basin were not as thick as the height of the canopy, this plant-based soul beast was very rare. Ye Chen's gaze looked back and forth on the tree, this was also the first time he had seen such a soul beast, which was very novel.
Just as he was watching intently, the tree slowly cracked, and two cracks opened, and a pair of huge eyes appeared to look at him, this situation is as weird as it gets, Ye Chen has seen it straight, he has never seen this special situation, he just looked at the tree directly, and at this moment, a bigger gap opened on the tree, and then grinned, like a smiling mouth, but this smile is too .......
This frightened Ye Chen, and his whole person was urinating, and he came too suddenly without any preparation. Only Ye Chen was so surprised, this month he was either brought into the infirmary by Han Batian or he was fighting with Gu Juan and the iron egg who was still an egg, and he had very little contact with the people around him, and everyone was already surprised.
After a while, the results of the girl's test came out, Lin Jing: One hundred and ten soul power, and the first order of soul beast level demonic beasts. The lecture hall, which had been very quiet, was suddenly noisy and full of discussions. Ye Chen, who was almost scared to pee, was taken aback again, such a tree is a first-order demonic beast, and it is really weirder and more powerful, and I don't know if such a tree iron egg can be eaten? As he spoke, he looked at the iron egg on the table and thought maliciously.
This girl named Lin Jing is undoubtedly the best among the new students recruited this year, and she was very honored to be personally awarded a badge by Luo Lao to encourage her.
The next thing is Ye Chen, his information is one hundred and six soul power, and the iron egg is the eighth order of the beast. The soul power has increased by four points compared to yesterday, and it is estimated that it is the result of practicing the soul suppression stab.
The discussion in the lecture hall was even more intense this time, because Ye Chen was a celebrity, and that day Han Batian was foaming at the mouth in full view of everyone, and Han Batian's contract was a first-order demonic beast, and when everyone knew that Tie Dan'er was only an eighth-order beast, he couldn't control it.
Seeing that the scene was too chaotic, Luo Lao said, "Everyone be quiet." After being a lot quieter, he continued: "The soul beast level is important, but it also depends on the on-the-spot performance, so don't be too surprised. The old man himself felt that the explanation was far-fetched, but the young man below believed him as an authority figure.
After appeasing everyone, Luo Lao looked at Ye Chen again with a kind gaze: "You are Ye Chen, I know everything about you and that kid in Batian, young people are impatient and will inevitably miss, find a time for me to persuade Han Zhen to help you intercede." In a word, it is not leaky, but it has the meaning of favoring Ye Chen.
Ye Chen thanked him respectfully on the surface, but he shouted urgently in his heart, you don't have to find time, it's better to go to Han Zhen now, or I won't know my mother who will be beaten tomorrow.
The test ended in the morning, and the new junior students were all smiling as a group of people walked towards the canteen at noon.
The canteen is set up in the main hospital, and all personnel must go to the main hospital to eat. Ye Chen walked with the crowd with the iron egg, Ye Chen, who was out of the Beast Control Branch, sensed that he was being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, the beast master majored in soul power, so he sensed that the eyes staring at him came from all directions, and the closer he got to the canteen, the more eyes stared at him.
Ye Chen finished eating with difficulty under these stares, and then ran away with the iron eggs.
In the distance, several of Han Batian's younger brothers gathered together to look at Ye Chen's back as he ran away, and smiled: "This idiot, you are dying, and you still have the heart to eat, admire." "You know what, this is called death, and you have to eat and die when you are full." "He dared to gamble with Brother Han's eldest brother, he really didn't want to die, I heard that person is already an intermediate student." "I'm going to be a real pervert, didn't he just enroll last year? More than a year as an intermediate student? That's more than three hundred. ”
Ye Chen, who returned to the dormitory, was much calmer, and he was ready to continue practicing the Soul Suppression Thorn after no class in the afternoon.
Touching the college badge, his own information came to mind, such a small object is really magical. In the information center, Ye Chen now has thirty-five credits, and he should have fifty credits.
Every month, the low-level students have a quota of thirty credits, plus Ye Chen won the competition in the branch academy and was rewarded with twenty credits, but just now he spent fifteen credits on eating with Tie Dan'er in the canteen, and Tie Dan'er ate fourteen credits for one meal, how can he spend his life at the beginning of the month.
Fortunately, now that I am a junior student, I can go to the main institute to pick up the task of the college, and there will be a credit reward after completion, so I have time to complete it more, or I can't even afford to raise iron eggs, and I looked at the foodie Ye Chen smiled helplessly. After deciding to take on the task, he no longer worries about learning, and sat cross-legged and began to practice the Soul Stab.
Time passed quickly, it was dark in a blink of an eye, and Ye Chen, who had practiced for another afternoon, sat on the bed, he could now release the soul suppression thorn to achieve success again and again, and the time for condensing the soul needle was compressed from seven seconds to three seconds, but don't underestimate the compressed four seconds, which Ye Chen had to practice nearly a hundred times in the afternoon.
Ye Chen lay down tiredly, feeling something pressed under him, and took it out to see that it was the small book, the so-called one-style mastery, and he looked at it when he had nothing to do.
This style of mastery is called the unity of man and beast, and when you hear this name, you feel that there is a "grade". This skill can only be practiced by those who have signed a life and death contract, seeing this, Ye Chen sat up violently, this is the second time he has seen the record of life and death contract, Ye Chen began to pay attention to this mastery.
After seeing the key points thoroughly, Ye Chen began to practice. This skill is through the link of the life and death contract, borrowing the ability or characteristics of the soul beast to temporarily let the contractor use it, Ye Chen used the soul power to contact the iron egg through that link, and after a while, Ye Chen felt a little response and immediately made a cast, he was in place but had no effect.
Ye Chenmeng, he really felt that the response had no effect at all. As soon as his temper came up, Ye Chen tried more than twenty times in a row but it didn't work, and he couldn't even feel the response.
Shaking his head with a wry smile It seems to be fake, but he still believes it, and puts the little book aside, and if he has the opportunity to see the old liar again, he must let him practice and take a look.
In the mage branch, in the dormitory area, Han Batian's figure appeared here and hurriedly walked into Han Wanglong's room.
In the room, Han Wanglong, who was sitting cross-legged in his cultivation, was woken up by Han Batian who came in, and saw Han Batian panting and saying with excitement on his face: "Brother, the news has spread, and the academy basically knows about it, and the things you want have also arrived." As he spoke, he handed the box in his hand to Han Wanglong.
Han Wanglong, who was disturbed, looked slightly dissatisfied, took the box handed over and confirmed that it was what he wanted, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, you take someone to find Ye Chen, you must take him to the arena, Dad and the mage branch dean will come to watch, don't mess things up." Thinking of what he was going to do tomorrow, Han Wanglong's eyes danced with a bloodthirsty light.
Han Batian next to him also showed a fierce look on his face and nodded yes.
