Sorrow from the Abyss (Academy) Chapter 35: The Choice (2)
Behind that figure, there were four weapons on his back, his hair was draped behind him, his face was full of scars, the beard at the corner of his mouth was slightly upturned, and his eyes were staring at Ye Bai with sharp eyes.
Then he said in a somewhat unbelievable tone: "...... Ye Bai!?"
"How about Guangzhi, was I surprised to come out?" the long sword in Ye Bai's hand pointed at the latter and smiled.
"Hmph, I said, who is spreading wild in front of my door, it turns out that you are this guy, and you are willing to give it up? Or is it as unpleasant as before, the old rules, right?"
"Old rules?" Chan Liang wondered.
Ye Bai explained: "Hehe, this is the rule I set with this guy before, no matter if he is looking for me or I am looking for him, I must fight with him with a sword, and then talk about things after the fight." ”
"Master Ye, do you know this senior?" Chan Liang looked at Guang Zhi, a faint aura of sadness seemed to surround him, his delusion, Chan Liang subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
Mentor Ye nodded, no longer paying attention to Chan Liang, but concentrating on dealing with the person in front of him.
At this time, the surrounding temperature suddenly began to drop, and even began to exceed zero point, and it was supposed to be a hot and dry greenhouse, but at this time, heavy snow fell at the east gate.
The drop in temperature does not mean to stop, but the rate of cooling has slowed down.
The corners of Ye Bai's mouth moved, and the figure rushed towards Guangzhi on the ground where the snow had already begun to accumulate, and his feet stepped on the snow surface at the same time, but there was no footprint.
Canliang couldn't help but marvel when he saw Ye Bai, he was worthy of being a master of using ice, such soft snow, so fast speed didn't step on a single footprint.
Guangzhi's eyes were still as sharp as a sword, remembering that as long as the opponent was Ye Bai, he had never looked at him like this now, but every time he felt the aura from Ye Bai, he couldn't control the emotions in his body.
Guangzhi snorted coldly, quickly pulled out the first sword behind his back, put it on his side, the tip of the sword touched the ground, Canliang could clearly see that it was a very simple long sword, the width and length of the sword were almost the same as Ye Bai's ice crystal long sword, but there was a very terrible crack on the sword body, as if it would break if it was touched, can this sword really be used? Canliang thought.
In the next moment, Guangzhi confirmed the doubt in Chanliang's heart.
"Alas, Ye Bai, you have fallen for five years and become a lot weaker. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand holding the sword moved slightly above his head, and an invisible sword aura flew towards Ye Bai's figure.
"Don't talk too early. ”
Ye Bai chuckled, and in the face of this guy's cynicism, he was indifferent at all.
The ice crystal long sword in his hand shook it vigorously, and a sword aura with cold ice came up.
Bang!!!
Two identical sword qi touched together, and after a burst of explosions, they both canceled out, kicking up the snow on the ground and disrupting vision.
Ye Bai's body also disappeared in front of Guangzhi's eyes at this time with the help of such a dazzling flying snow.
"It's really childish, the third layer of snow walking, if you are on the battlefield, you are already dead. ”
Mitsuchi closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings, then held his sword in front of his chest and slashed in a sword-wielding gesture.
Bite!!
Can Liang was stunned for a moment, the sound was clearly the sound of weapons and weapons touching each other, what was going on?
And Ye Bai, who had just turned into one with the snow out of thin air, was revealed at this moment, and his face didn't seem to look good.
Mentor Ye: What's going on? How did this senior know that Mentor Ye would appear from that place, Canliang couldn't even sense his breath just now, is it really that the difference in strength is too big.
"You've changed, Hikari. Ye Bai said, he no longer had the desire to fight at the moment.
"Maybe. ”
Guangzhi opened his eyes, shook off Ye Bai, and after feeling Ye Bai, who had lost his fighting spirit, he put away the cracked sword in his hand.
"Is it because of that mission?" Ye Bai asked tentatively as he put away his spiritual power, he wanted to know what made this guy's personality change so much from the previous sword idiot.
Guangzhi didn't answer, he glanced at Canliang lightly, his eyes suddenly exuded a trace of doubt and fear, and he relieved himself before turning back to Ye Bai and said, "Who is this kid?"
"He's the reason I've come to you today. ”
"Oh?" Mitsuchi wondered, "what reason?"
Canliang was also stunned by what Ye Bai said, how could he not know that Ye Bai brought him here for himself?
"It's not safe here, and if the wall has ears, it's troublesome. ”
Ye Bai said with some caution, but if you think about it from his point of view, then there are ghosts if you are not careful.
Mitsuchi nodded and opened the door of the Kenshin Hall, and then walked in on his own.
Ye Bai called Shang Canliang and the two of them to follow in, and closed the door with his hand.
"Canliang, you wait in this compound first, and this guy and I will go inside to talk about something first. ”
Ye Bai patted Canliang on the shoulder, then left him alone in this compound, and followed Guangzhi into the hall.
Canliang had no choice but to wander around the compound.
"Tell me why. Mitsuchi took out a soundproof note from his chest and threw it on the closed door.
"You should know why the academy treats gifted students so highly. Ye Bai said very seriously, "After all, you and I have come from that time." ”
"In order to compete for the ancient ruins, increase the strong, and then take back the world that belongs to us. Guangzhi said coldly, "But what does this have to do with that kid." ”
"The relationship is still there, mainly because I made an agreement with the Great Elder on the condition that I help him control the abilities in his body. ”
"For Su Yan?"
If you want to say who knows Ye Bai best in this world, then it is nothing more than the person in front of him, and his thoughts are broken with one word.
"So what? What the hell are you looking for me?"
Ye Bai sighed and said, "I want you to teach him swordsmanship and let him come out on top in the election competition in two months." ”
"Oh, why didn't you help him control his abilities and instead asked me to teach him?" said Guangzhi, grasping the crux of the matter.
"He's the mutant ice ability. ”
"Mutant Ice?"
"That's right, it sounds like a powerful ability, but it's just redundant, it's a person who has an ability, but he can't use that ability, and that's where he is now. ”
"I see, you can teach, since it's your difficulty, I naturally won't shirk it, but ......" Guangzhi probably understood, but there was a doubt that made him ask: "Just now I used my aura to perceive this kid's ......"
His tone stopped suddenly, his face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Huh, I said you guys were done. Ye Bai was originally very happy when he heard that this guy agreed, but when he heard another one, he immediately hurriedly asked, "I don't know if talking halfway is like a beautiful woman who strips naked and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Okay, okay, I said I'll say, can you stop yelling?" Guangzhi thought about it, but still planned to confess, and told the thing that he had hidden, after all, it was the only friend, and the only guy who showed up when he needed to talk to him the most.
"It's about a previous assignment I was given. ”
Is it really the task that the dead fat man said, Ye Bai continued to listen carefully.
"That mission is an S-class mission with the highest command, and I am the captain of that mission, and there are six members of the team plus me. ”
S-class mission!?Why doesn't he have any news, that is the highest order in the academy, it is only possible to issue it when the situation is to destroy the Ability Academy, and he should also be notified if he was the first disciple of the Ice Sect.
"Conditions of the task...... It's to ......" At this time, Guangzhi's head ached, and he leaned against the pillar behind him.
Ye Bai hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Are you okay?"
He slowly stood up, pushed Ye Bai away and continued: "I'm fine, the condition of the mission is to investigate the Screaming Cave in the Yin Burial Land, where it is said that there are very abnormal terrifying fluctuations that have even affected the leylines of the entire academy. ”
"The Cave of Sorrows?, Ripple to the Leylines!?"
Ye Bai had never heard of the former, but the latter was like thunder, after all, it was the energy core of the entire Psychic Academy, including all aura manufacturing, photon energy consumption, and miscellaneous consumption must be maintained by this thing.
"Well, I went to the Cave of Sorrow with the Yan family's Chicheng, the cold wind of the Ice Sect, and our former third class of Wind Ranger Sun Yang, Water Jade Dragon Zhang Qing, and Golden Evil Wang Jun. ”
"What I didn't expect was that that place was filled with an extremely dark aura, and you could even see the remains of those creatures who strayed into it by that aura. ”
"So before entering there, we made full preparations and entered it with a cloak made by twelve elders with the strongest aura to keep out yin qi. ”
"But we're still too careless... In the big cavern at the bottom...... There are actually huge insect-type monsters that can control people's spirits and distort people's bodies, and their strength is at least at the level of earth spirits!"
"And then the four of us, except for me and Chicheng, fell into the ambush of that monster...... All turned into the walking dead...... They are miserable...... It's not even human...... But they still insist on using their consciousness to plead with me, and give them a relief......"
Mitsuchi could even feel his hatred, remorse, and emaciation as he spoke, after all, it was his comrade-in-arms, the comrade-in-arms who had accompanied him through so many tasks.
And he is the one who is helpless to watch them mutate, and the only way to do it is to free them, but not to save them.
Ye Bai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, this is the only thing he can do now.
"I'm sorry...... Maybe you shouldn't have said it. ”
"It's okay, since it's already been said, then let me finish it all, Chi Cheng and I can't accept this kind of thing, the main problem is how can an earth spirit-level monster stay in this place surrounded by D-class aliens. ”
"The earth spirit level monster is replaced by the human level, unless the dean and the twelve elders make a move, there is no possibility of extermination, even if the strongest overlord of the academy goes, there is no way to take that monster. ”
"But we didn't chase the spirit-level monster we ran away, and the only clue I guessed was probably ...... What is it guarding......"
"It's just that Chicheng and I finally defeated the four of them, and the way back was so muddy that we forgot what I was talking about...... I didn't come back to my senses until yesterday......"
It's no wonder that the dead fat man said that Guangzhi is crazy, so it is really easy for others to misunderstand if they don't know the cause and effect.
"What does that monster look like?"
But he also seems to know that he shouldn't ask so much at this time, after all, Guangzhi himself hasn't eased up, but he came, this guy is still pretending that nothing happened, and he comes to the old rules, it's really...
Mitsuchi shook his head, he didn't want to think about it anymore, but from his tone and description, he could conclude that the monster was insect-shaped, huge, and hideous, and it made people look creepy.
Now that he knows his situation, Ye Bai feels a little embarrassed, so he said, "I'm sorry to disturb you today." ”
Guangzhi squeezed out an ugly arc and said, "When is it different, you guy has really become too weak." ”
"Hey, hey, hey. ”
The two laughed forcefully.
"Now I'm going to pick up on what I just disconnected,"
"Hmm. ”
"Actually, I used the aura at the door to perceive the kid you said, and the aura emanating from his body is very close to the aura of that monster. Guangzhi replied a little emotionally, and said what he didn't finish.
Ye Bai's eyes froze, and his brows furrowed: "You mean this kid has something to do with this matter?"
Guangzhi shook his head: "No, I just feel that the aura is relatively similar, but it is not the person involved in this matter." ”
"I see, what do I ask for?"
"It's up to him to decide, whether the talent is suitable for you should have already figured it out. ”
"Hmm. ”
"That's good. "When the light is not long, he removed the soundproofing note and opened the door and walked out of the Kenshin Hall.
Ye Bai also walked out of the hall, but his heart was raised again.
