Chapter 1 The Firescale Monitor Lizard
"The Komodo dragon, the largest lizard in the world before the cataclysm, has an average body length of 2 to 3 meters, and the longest can reach 3.13 meters!"
"In reality, they are the closest image to the evil dragon in film and television works, and on some islands, the aborigines even call them Komodo's 'dragons'!"
In the beast identification class, the teacher narrated it.
As he spoke, a picture of a creature flashed on the electronic display behind him every few seconds.
After a few seconds, the image freezes.
Above it was a monitor lizard with a body length of more than twenty meters, covered with red scales, and extremely fierce and hideous.
Even if it was just a demonstration picture, the dense sharp teeth and cold claws still made many students subconsciously hold their breath.
"After the cataclysm, the density of the aura increased dramatically, and all animals obtained the key to evolution, and their size quickly increased, their speed increased rapidly, and their temperament became more ferocious, becoming what we call fierce beasts."
"Komodo dragons are no exception, they have evolved to be more than twenty meters long, and their strength, speed, and ability to resist hits have also increased proportionally, and more importantly, they have also gained the ability to breathe flames!"
The teacher tapped the red scales of the monitor lizard with his whip.
"Because of this, in the Beast Illustrated Book published by the Federation, the Komodo dragon is no longer called the Komodo dragon, but is called the firescale monitor lizard."
"The adult firescale monitor lizard is a general-level fierce beast, and it can reach the commander level at its peak!"
"The key is that there is still a trace of dragon blood in their bodies, and they can awaken and advance in extreme situations!"
"In June of the 107th year of the New Era, there was once a Flame Lizard Dragon that had advanced to the lord level and attacked and destroyed most of the base city, and later dispatched more than a dozen legendary warriors to kill it!"
As soon as the teacher's voice fell, there was an immediate sound of inhalation below.
Legendary warriors!
That's all big shots!
These students can only see a few glances on TV on weekdays.
And a strong man of this level, it actually takes more than ten people to join forces to kill the Flame Lizard Dragon, and the lord-level fierce beast is really terrifying!
Ning Ze, who was sitting in the last row of the classroom, stared at the pictures on the display screen with a strange expression.
Warriors, fierce beasts...... He's really come to an incredible world!
Ning Ze rubbed his eyebrows.
The teacher on the podium continued to lecture.
"Against the commander-level fierce beasts, ordinary thermal weapons can no longer be lethal, unless cruise missiles or nuclear bombs are dispatched!"
"And the lord-level fierce beast, even if it is a nuclear bomb, its effect is limited, and the sequelae of using a nuclear bomb must be considered!"
"Fortunately, we still have warriors!"
"The lethality of the top warriors is even more powerful than the nuclear bomb, and it is precisely because of the heroic battles of countless warriors that we humans can survive the cataclysmic period, establish many base cities, and gradually counterattack and subdue the wasteland."
"It is precisely because of this that martial artists are revered by many people and have a very high social status, students, you must also work hard to cultivate and strive to become a powerful martial artist!"
The teacher's words made many students excited.
However, there are also people who pour cold water.
"Teacher, we would like to, but the problem is that we don't have that talent, we can't even get into the martial arts university!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many students suddenly darkened.
Martial artists who graduated from martial arts universities are basically social elites when they come out, and it is easy to find a job with an annual salary of one million.
So many people dream of being admitted to a martial arts university.
But in the end, only a small percentage of people will be able to achieve this goal.
After all, even if it is the lowest-ranked martial arts university, if it does not have the strength to awaken to the sixth order or above, it is not expected to be admitted at all.
And the sixth order of awakening, placed in the entire third grade of Linchuan No. 2 Middle School, is enough to steadily rank in the top 100.
There are only seven or eight people in the entire third class who can reach this level.
"Martial Arts University ......"
The corners of Ning Ze's mouth twitched slightly.
He has only just reached the third level of awakening now, and he can only barely rank into the middle and lower reaches in the entire third year, so don't expect to be admitted to the martial arts university or something.
"Is it possible to be an office worker in the future and live a dull life?"
Ning Ze was a little unwilling.
The fact of crossing cannot be changed, and he has accepted the reality, but he is unwilling to be an ordinary person who can't even control his own fate.
"Hard work is not necessarily successful, but you can't succeed if you don't work hard."
The teacher fed the students a spoonful of chicken soup and then brushed the topic up.
"There is no class this afternoon, I will go back early after school, don't mess around, and there will be a level test tomorrow, don't forget!"
There was a wail under the podium.
Just as poor students resist exams, many weaker students dislike placement tests.
It made them feel like they were being executed in public, and it was very humiliating.
After class, Ning Ze packed his schoolbag.
Han Deming, who was at the same table, came over and said with a smile: "Ning Ze, do you want to go to the virtual Internet café together, there is a very popular martial arts game recently, it is said that the simulation degree is very high, and you can get over the addiction of fighting with fierce beasts!"
Ning Ze shook his head: "No, I still have to go back to cultivation." ”
Han Deming rolled his eyes and said, "I said, don't waste your efforts, there are only two months left before the martial arts exam, and no matter how hard you cultivate, you can't be admitted to the martial arts university." ”
Ning Ze was noncommittal, picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.
Looking at the back of Ning Ze leaving, Han Deming pursed his lips.
Ning Ze's strength is half a pound and eight taels with him, unless there is a miracle, he will not be able to get into the martial arts university in this life, why waste energy on cultivation again?
......
The bus stopped in front of the stop sign, and Ning Ze got off through the back door.
Carefully avoiding the black stagnant water on the ground, Ning Ze walked forward for four or five hundred meters and entered an old community.
It has been 50 or 60 years since the construction of the community, and although the buildings are still in good condition, many places are in a dilapidated state.
Most of the people who live here are people who are not in a good financial situation.
Click!
Ning Ze pushed open the door, and the cramped room was quiet and dim.
He has been living here alone since his parents died two years ago.
Relying on the savings left by his parents, although his life is a little tight, he has no worries about food and clothing.
The relationship between neighbors is also quite harmonious, and there is no evil neighbor who bullies orphans in film and television dramas.
The mother and daughter of the Xiao family, who live next door, take more care of him, and after knowing that he is not good at cooking, they often ask him to eat together.
Putting down the schoolbag, Ning Ze began to cultivate the Na Ling Jue.
The Na Ling Jue is created by the Federation with countless manpower and material resources, and it is the most suitable technique for martial artists to temper their bodies.
Since entering the new era, the Federation has vigorously promoted this exercise, and now it has become the foundation choice of countless Awakened Realm martial artists.
After running for three weeks, Ning Ze stopped with a long sigh of relief.
There was a faint feeling of fullness in the body, which was a sign that the cells had reached the limit of absorbing aura.
At least 24 hours should be intervened, and the cells should finish digesting the absorbed spiritual energy before they can continue to cultivate the spiritual formula.
"I'm now in the middle of the third order, at this rate, by the time I take the martial arts exam, I will break through to the upper third order at most......"
Ning Ze sighed and sat on the sofa.
It seems that Martial Arts University is really hopeless.
Maybe he was a little tired, Ning Ze felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
In a daze, he vaguely felt as if he had split into two parts, one part remained in the living room, and the other part rushed through the wall and flew all the way out of Linchuan City.
I don't know how long I flew, and a lush jungle suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
There seemed to be some kind of invisible traction in the jungle, faintly pulling him down.
[Soul Clone Talent Awakening! ] 】
[Searching for the primary fusion target...... A suitable target has been found! 】
The invisible pulling force intensified suddenly, and before Ning Ze could react, the whole person suddenly fell from the sky, directly through the dense canopy as if penetrating the phantom.
After a flash of vision, Ning Ze was already standing in front of a giant tree, and in front of him was a giant egg that was a meter high and covered with flame patterns.
"What is this?"
Ning Ze was stunned for a while.
In the next moment, a large text suddenly appeared in the field of vision.
