Chapter 1: The Night on Earth
Abnormal event of the Demon Realm Enchantment Passage, four weeks ago, one of the six major realms, the Human Realm.
The human realm is naturally one of the six realms of time and space, but unfortunately, the total strength category has already allowed other realms to step on. Although I have to admit to the truth that I was the most tragic by the War of the Six Realms back then, and almost all the peerless powerhouses in the human world fell in that catastrophe, the people of the human world who survived the catastrophe did not languish, and they worked extremely tenaciously to survive and reproduce, and started a new life of their hard work.
。。。 Even, in today's human world, not everyone is as expected, human beings are small, weak and incompetent, and they are bullied and oppressed by ordinary heterogeneous strong people from all walks of life. In fact, the people of the human world have developed through a long period of hardship and excellence, and they also have some powerful means of ascension. As everyone knows, since then, the martial artists of the human realm have divided their cultivation levels into ten standards. From one to ten, from weak to strong. However, anyone whose strength has reached the tenth level of martial arts can go to the sky and the earth, chop the waves, and have an extremely strong strength. Coupled with his perception of the major elements of all things in the world, and the amazing martial arts created by the crystallization of wisdom, it seems that he barely has the strength to single-handedly challenge the fourth rank and below the level of all walks of life. It's a pity that as for the legends, long before the catastrophe of the Six Realms War, there were still so-called tenth-level and above, heaven-level high-ranking powers in the human world. However, millions of years later, the human world has been at the end of the road to advanced martial arts, resulting in the fact that there has never been another one again, and with the gradual passage of history, it has begun to fade out of people's attention, and in the end, it is just an ancient legend.
However, the human world, one of the six realms, has gone through thousands of years, the vicissitudes of the ages, and the times have changed. Nowadays, the people of the human world are still independent and continue to thrive ...
Today, under the vast blue sky, there is a remote place in the continent of the human world.
Spring has just arrived, the sky is getting darker, and a fresh breeze blows, rolling up a few patches of hay and falling into all kinds of wildflowers. At dusk, the cool air seemed to have a hint of melancholy, and the reflection of the clouds fell on the vast land, slowly drifting with the wind. Suddenly, between heaven and earth, it seemed to turn into a faint melancholy sad atmosphere, and lingering. Among them, there is a little boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, who interprets melancholy and melancholy in such a sad atmosphere.
At first glance, the little boy is about 1.7 meters tall, with a thin body, short black hair, and a handsome appearance, but for some reason, a helpless and sad color appeared between his eyebrows, and even the whole expression of his face looked very distressed. Feeling the breeze passing by, holding a small weed in his mouth, a person lying quietly on his back on the lush grass, holding his little head in his hands, looking at the sky from time to time, and unconsciously, his small mouth will occasionally let out a few sighs of sadness.
After half a ring, the little boy was still lying still, and the grass in his mouth was about to be rotted by him. "Alas... Finally, after a short while, the boy's little face looked down at his bruised little arm, and let out a helpless and bitter sigh again. At this moment, the little boy felt an inexplicable tingling sensation in his heart, and his expression became more and more depressed. "Alas... Life is too short to sigh and sorrowful, dreams are difficult to return after a few years, night and day are bipolar and dry tears, and the world is really famous! Why is it that the elemental martial arts taught by the teacher, I have reached the deepest realm, but it is still powerless? Even a girl like Tao Tao, who seems to be weak and can't help the wind, can I do it with one move, what a shame. No matter how good the liberal arts knowledge is, what should I do in the future... ”
After muttering to himself, the little boy raised his left hand and silently recited the cultivation mantra taught by the teacher in his heart, and in an instant, a small ripple fluctuation condensed in his body, and a light green circle of light gradually formed on his left arm. However, the aperture was condensed for less than half a second, and the little boy's body suddenly trembled, and then, the light green aperture touched and disappeared in the air. Looking at what seemed to be a failure of habit, the little boy closed his eyes in agony, and his trembling left hand slammed into the ground.
"Found it! Look, everyone! That kid is lying on the lawn! Don't let him run away this time! He's so cunning! He slipped away several times! Catch him!" Suddenly, with a shrill shout in the distance, a group of little guys about the same age as the little boy Yeshi appeared in the other direction about a hundred meters away on the grass. They all had gloomy expressions, eyebrows and treacherous laughter, and they all ran quickly towards the night world, and at a glance they knew that they were all looking for trouble.
"Ahh It's a pity that his physical fitness seems to be a little too weak. After running less than a few hundred meters away, his body gradually languished, his little face was pale, sweating, and his mouth was panting heavily. I actually tired myself down first, and finally surrounded this group of boys on the spot.
"Stinky night, you're really going to find a place to hide, it's a shame that we've been stupidly blocking you at the school gate after school. I didn't think you were still wandering around the school playground. Hey, hey, hey, I'll see where you're running today!"
"I didn't hide from you, I just didn't want to go home too early after school, I just wanted to go to the playground alone to see the scenery. Yeshi's body struggled for a while to no avail, and his eyes looked at the red-haired boy and replied coldly.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me, give us this month's payment, not a single one! The red-haired boy didn't care about this, and reached out directly to ask for money with a calm face.
Accustomed to years of bullying and oppression, Ye Shi seems to be disgusted with this group of people in his heart, knowing that he can't hide today, but his little face is still as plain as water, his eyes are very firm, and he said to the red-haired boy: "I don't have so much money, even if I have... I'm sure I won't give it to you either. Also, don't bully me all the time, or I'll ... ”
"Smack!"
A slap on the little face, which immediately interrupted Ye Shi's words. When the red-haired boy heard this, his face became even more gloomy, a cold light appeared in his eyes, he withdrew his arm, and roared viciously: "My day, I dare to keep my mouth shut! Otherwise, what will happen to you? My elemental energy is about to reach the third-level level, and I am the best student in the school in martial arts, will I still be afraid of you, a pusmy that doesn't even have a first-level level? Okay, I just don't want to take money, right? Okay, you have a big temper, don't you? You teach me a hard lesson! Help him change his temper well!! After the red-haired boy finished speaking, he immediately joined the others to beat the night world, and the night world held his head in his hands and let the boys beat, and fell to the ground without making a sound.
Damn, it's too much for more people to bully less, not to mention that the latter is so weak. In the face of countless punches and kicks, Ye Shi held his head in his hands, shrunk into a ball on the ground, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, stunned without saying a word, and did not make any resistance. Because he knew in his heart that even if he resisted, it would be useless, and his weak body was born with defects, which directly caused him to be inferior to the physical fitness of a little girl. Resisting will only attract more vicious feedback. Forced patience was the only thing he could do since he was a child, a kind of almost helpless, unbearable escape.
"What are you guys doing! No fighting! Stop it!!"
"Ah, everyone, run! The teacher is here!!"
Hearing the noise on the lawn of the playground, a middle-aged teacher quickly rushed to hear the sound. Seeing this scene, he frowned and hurriedly shouted to stop. To be honest, after all, it was a group of children who beat people, and they were all instinctively afraid of teachers. In a moment, this group of children panicked and responded, and before the middle-aged teacher arrived, then, after a few shouts and messy steps, the beating children dispersed in an instant like a fallen tree, and on the grass, in an instant, there was only a small night world that fell to the ground and was full of embarrassment.
At this time, the middle-aged teacher came over, helped Ye Shi up from the ground, first checked his physical condition, and after making sure that there was nothing serious, he said softly: "Are you okay with this classmate, do you want me to take you to the infirmary to have a look? Hmph, those bunch of rabbit cubs are really not like words, they actually beat people like this! Can you still go? Or I'll tell your parents to pick you up?"
Hearing this, Ye Shi's face was extremely gloomy, he gritted his teeth and lips, raised his head and stood up with difficulty. Immediately, he shook his head silently and replied in a low voice: "No need, thank you, teacher, I should go home after school... ”
"Hey, classmate, I see that your injury is not light, wait for a rest and rest before leaving, you... Without waiting for the middle-aged teacher to say anything, Yeshi picked up his schoolbag and hurriedly walked towards the school gate, no matter how the middle-aged teacher shouted, he never looked back. After looking at the embarrassed figure of the night world disappearing, the middle-aged teacher shook his head helplessly, and sighed with a little regret in his heart: "... This kid works very hard in school, and his understanding is surprisingly high, but it's a pity that his body doesn't have any energy response at all, such helpless factors and weird and strange diseases, no wonder he is so inferior. Alas... Providence makes people! It's a pity... ”
In fact, this middle-aged teacher has been teaching in the school for many years, although he is not the homeroom teacher of the night world, but he seems to have vaguely heard others say that there is a classmate with a strange body in the neighboring class. Therefore, seeing the night classmate walking away indifferently, the middle-aged teacher could only shake his head and sigh helplessly, and then turned around and walked towards the school's own dormitory...
On the side street, in a small grocery store.
A white-haired old man with a pen and paper in his hand walks around busily sorting out the goods. Because the little guy who had just delivered the goods was a little late, and there were many kinds of items, the old man seemed to be unable to finish sorting it out for a while. "Ahh "Be careful!" Fortunately, just as the old man was about to make contact with the ground, a pair of small hands caught him in time.
"Hehehehe, Grandpa Shen, you have to be careful, if you fall out of the way, there will be no one to take care of it in the shop. The voice was full of childlike playfulness, and the tone seemed to be a little half-joking, but it revealed a sense of concern. Naturally, a voice came from the owner of the little hands.
This shopkeeper named Grandpa Shen, whose real name is Shen Xiuquan, is one of the few grocery store owners in White Bird Town. According to people, Shen Xiuquan's ancestral home is not a local, but from the distant Ace Alliance. And in the early years, Shen Xiuquan had a business in Ace's hometown, and he was one of the wealthy families economically, and the friends he knew were not old or young, and his life was carefree and quite happy. But very unfortunately, the son and daughter-in-law were both lost in a car accident. You must know that the worst tragedy in the world is that the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and his wife died very early. And Shen Xiuquan, who was left alone in the family, was heartbroken and disheartened after the tragedy, so he sold all his family property, and despite the kind advice of his neighbors and friends, he decided to leave that sad place alone, and traveled all over the world to do business, and only after several journeys did he come to live in White Bird Town.
As we all know, in today's human society, science and technology and medical care are very developed, yes, human genes have also been qualitatively improved, and it is not a problem to live for one or two hundred years. It's just that Shen Xiuquan is probably too old, and his own strength cultivation is not very high, coupled with the previous upheaval, heart disease and fatigue and heavy oppression, all body functions are almost gradually degrading, and he feels that his physical strength is becoming more and more exhausted. No, if he hadn't been careless and tripped over the messy goods on the ground, if he hadn't helped him in time just now, he would have been hospitalized.
After a while, Shen Xiuquan, whose head was still dizzy, tried hard to sit down, panting and letting his body gradually rest for a long time, he raised his head slightly before barely taking a look. In his eyes, a familiar and immature little face was looking at him with a smile, and when he was sure who the other party was, the old face that was as pale as snow finally showed a smile, and the old hand gently patted the other party's little shoulder, and said gratefully: "Hehehe, it turned out that the night boy is here, just now thanks to you for helping my old man in time, otherwise the consequences will be serious... Alas, as I get older, my body is becoming less and less useful... Uh, if you want to eat something, go get it yourself, this time my old man will treat you, which is a reward just now. Hehehe... ”
Yeshi has a small habit, because of the way home walking, every day when he comes home from school, he will go to this small shop to have a drink, or eat a small snack or something, come and go, and also help the grocery store to do chores, after a long time, naturally with Shen Xiu can not be cooked.
"Grandpa Shen, it's not a way for your body to drag like this, don't hold on, take the time to close the small shop for a few days, and go to the hospital in the big city to have a look, after all, your body is the most important, and you can make money or something in the future." Seeing that Grandpa Shen was fine, Xiao Yeshi immediately smiled at ease with his little face, turned around to get a drink, habitually put the money on the counter, and persuaded while drinking.
"Alas, grandpa is nothing serious, my body should be able to last a few more years. However, you are right, grandpa will sell the shop in a few more years, and it is time to go home and meet my old friends. Well, how do you say that, the fallen leaves always have to go back to the roots... Oh yes, night boy, why don't you transfer the grocery store to you after you finish school and graduate? I'll be cheap for you?" At this moment, Shen Xiuquan rested for a while, his body finally got better, and he stood up with his hands on the ground and said with a smile.
"Uh... Forget it, I don't know how to do business, you better transfer it to someone else. Ye Shi hesitated for a while, but immediately refused. Deep down in his little heart, he didn't want to spend his whole life in White Bird Town.
Hearing this, Shen Xiuquan shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything more, and then, Yeshi helped pack up the goods and chatted with Shen Xiuquan for a long time, until the sun went down and night fell, he said goodbye and left the grocery store alone.
Since the end of the War of the Six Realms millions of years ago, many peerless beings have fallen one after another, resulting in a special period of lack of strength in the human world. The martial artists of the human realm are deeply aware that their strength is insufficient, even if they are a tenth-level top stage master, they can only fight a draw with the second class of all walks of life, and it is out of reach to surpass it. In order to make up for the shortcomings of their own strength cultivation, scientific and technological civilization and elemental energy were born! Since then, with the backing of powerful science and technology, people in the human world have gradually begun to change their genes and can be affinity with various elemental forces for their own use. And along with the human beings with the power of affinity elements, various incredible skills have been derived one after another, making the human society slowly grow stronger and stronger. After countless years of changes in the times, today's human society, people cooperate with the transformation of various elemental energy, and have already formed an era of coexistence of technology and martial arts.
Of course, in the past millions of years, people have gone through countless wars and fights, countless sacrifices and reproductions, countless times when those who merge must be divided, and those who divide must be united, and the cycle has changed and developed for a long time. One of the six realms, the human society eventually evolved into three major countries -
Ace Alliance - an economically developed country, a tourism, gambling, markets, chambers of commerce, auction houses, mercenaries, etc., can be said to be very rich, where both men and women, young and old, are almost not rich or expensive, and even beggars are much more nourished than their counterparts in other countries. Don't be too surprised, beggars are a by-product of society, and no matter how much the country develops, there will always be some such people in a place. In short, there is a saying in the human society. "Marrying a wife in Ace, don't worry about eating and drinking. ”
The Confederation of Merk was originally a developed country with animal husbandry and light industry, and seventy percent of the world's grain exports came from this country. The Merk Federation is surrounded by mountains, rivers, grasslands, forests, fertile plains, and many lakes, oases, and swamps. There is also a big city with prosperous science and technology, as well as an absolutely steep key pass. Among them, our little protagonist Night World lives in this country, a small village and town in the middle of nowhere, which the Federation has just wanted to start developing.
The Yala Empire, a country with great scientific and technological knowledge and the supremacy of force, is said to have been founded by a few military generals in the early years, but it is more appropriate to call it a country than a military society. It is rumored that in the Yala Empire, there was a clear hierarchy between the upper and lower levels, and military life was extremely important, and children from the age of twelve were required to serve in the military according to the law, and life education was all carried out in the army. The strong militaristic ideology of solitism has long been transformed into a spiritual force in the Yala Empire.
Among the three major countries, the Yala Empire is the largest in terms of strength, the Merk Federation is the most extensive, and the Ace Alliance is the most developed. The three kingdoms are distributed in each corner of the continent and look at each other from afar, as if the three kingdoms are standing together. It seems that there are no major friction incidents heard, and it seems that they are all safe with each other for the time being.
(Of course, the Merk Federation, the Ace Alliance, and the Yala Empire can only be regarded as the largest countries in the continent, and there are many small countries in the Human Continent. )
However, whether it is the three major countries, or many small countries. In the reality of the human world, elemental energy is the only dominant color in the world. The foundation of one's own energy cultivation comes from the major elements, which is the so-called elemental attribute affinity. And due to the continuous reproduction and development of energy, it directly leads to human beings becoming closely related to the elements in their daily life. For example, boiling water for cooking, household appliances, bathing and lighting, all need elemental attribute traction. Therefore, the importance of elemental energy in the human continent cannot replace the elements that must exist. And all the martial artists are even more obsessed with elemental energy, and have even reached a point close to madness.
But what is very tragic is that in such a human society where everyone relies on elemental energy, Ye Shi's body is actually extremely strange and strange, and he can't get in touch with any of the elements since he was a child! Every time he tries to be friendly, all kinds of elements are like seeing a skunk and avoid it. Decades later, the body of the night world is still up to the first-level standard, that is, what people call a waste person. At first, the young night world did not feel much in his heart, but as he grew older, he gradually integrated into human society. The contemptuous gazes and cynicism of the people around him became more and more numerous, and every time it fell on Xiao Yeshi's body, it was like a sharp thorn, piercing the center of his heart fiercely, making it feel like falling into an ice cellar in pain.
Since then, Sayyoyo has become reticent and indifferent to everything, as if wearing a mask to disguise herself, hiding hope in the deepest part of her heart...
Thankfully, it's not all tragedy. At the very least, years of enduring and swallowing his anger, being looked down upon and bullied, making the night world's understanding and mind ten times stronger than his peers, almost learning anything, and having a super strong memory and perception, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
