Xianweiju is a relatively famous restaurant in Xingmang City, with many types of dishes, prosperous decoration, and extremely expensive prices, which is often used as a banquet place by the children of rich families and powerful people in the city.

At this time, there were no empty tables left in the restaurant, so they found a small table on the second floor and sat down. Tang Xiaotang picked up the menu and ordered, and then remembered that he was in a treat, and handed the menu to Li Xiangsheng.

Li Xiangsheng ordered some casually, and started chatting with Ye Xing.

"Brother Ye is actually from the Alien Domain?" During the conversation, Li Xiangsheng was quite surprised to learn that Ye Xing came from Blue Mercury, a remote star in the Alien Domain.

"At that time, I strayed into an unknown star gate, and I was teleported here, and I happened to meet Xiao Tang. Ye Xing said with a smile, glanced at Tang Xiaotang, and found that she was concentrating on a cup of dessert.

"I really didn't expect that the Alien Alien Domain could produce a genius like Brother Ye. Li Xiangsheng exclaimed.

"I just got lucky. You don't seem to be Gu Mangxing's, right?" Ye Xing asked curiously.

Li Xiangsheng smiled and nodded, "I am from Fulu Xing, which is not far from Gu Mangxing, and I just admired the name of Gu Mangxing Huomang Academy, so I came here to study. ”

"Is Huomang Academy also famous outside of Gu Mangxing?" Ye Xing was a little puzzled.

Li Xiangsheng smiled, "In terms of the qualifications of the students recruited and the overall strength, Huomang Academy may not be as good as Shuimang Academy." But there is one thing, the Fire Ray Academy is far superior to the Water Ray Academy and is famous for the White Night Galaxy. ”

"Oh, is there anything special about the Fire Academy?"

"Because there is a Xuan-level refiner in Huomang Academy. Don't hide it from Brother Ye, this is the real purpose of my joining Huomang Academy. ”

Ye Xing remembered the old man Xu that Fang Yanzong had said, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to worship that refiner as a teacher?"

Li Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "I would like to, but I am still a little self-aware of my own talent." If you want to become a refiner, you must have flame star power, and this alone is doomed to me to be a refiner. ”

"Then you want to ask that refiner to help you refine the star weapon?"

Li Xiangsheng nodded, and said with respect: "That's exactly what I mean, but this is by no means easy. Brother Ye, you don't know what it means to be a Xuan-level refiner, especially a Xuan-level refiner who has successfully refined a Star Division-level star weapon, then in the entire Second Ring Star Domain, he will be strongly pursued by the Star Division powerhouse. Even the powerhouses of the Star Lord Realm are willing to be treated as guests. In our White Night Galaxy, Xu Lao was one of only two Xuan-level refiners, and every time he shot a refining weapon, he was priceless. ”

Star Lord Realm, that is a dominant-level figure in the Second Ring Star Domain!Only then did Ye Xing realize how high the status of a Xuan-level refiner was.

"Let's talk about that, let's talk about the rest. Ye Xing, have you heard of the refining of the star official?" Li Xiangsheng looked at Ye Xingdao.

Ye Xing shook his head.

Li Xiangsheng took a sip of fruit wine and said, "The refining of the star officer is a grand event in our entire Ziwei Star Domain, which is used to select genius seeds with excellent talent and combat power. In fact, all the academies in the Second Ring Star Domain recruited young genius star cultivators, most of them in preparation for the refining of star officials. If the students they send to participate can achieve good rankings, not only can the students be selected by the big forces in the First Ring Star Domain or even the Central Star Field, but the academies they represent can also be rewarded with rich resources. ”

"I see. Ye Xing nodded and said suddenly.

Li Xiangsheng looked at Ye Xing and said: "Ye Xing, if you want to return to your hometown Blue Mercury, you may be able to try to participate in the refining of the star officials, if you can get a good ranking and be favored by the big forces of the first ring of the star field, they should have the ability to arrange an ultra-distant space shuttle star gate, and they can directly teleport to the outer star field." ”

"Really?" Ye Xing's expression was a little excited, if he waited for himself to cultivate to the Star Division, he didn't know how many years it would be. Even the Star Division is difficult to cross most of the Ziwei Star Domain. Only with the help of the advanced star gate can you return to Blue Mercury.

"Huomang Academy will also talk about matters related to the refining of the star officer, but this year's refining of the star officer should not have a chance with us. Because it was about to start in three years, we were only new to the small star officials at that time, and in the refining of the star officials where the big star officials gathered, there was no advantage at all. Li Xiangsheng sighed, "The refinement of the star official is held every ten years, and the age limit for signing up for star cultivation is within fifty years old, and most people can't even break through to the big star official in fifty years, let alone participate." Those genius star cultivators who participated in it all broke through the Great Star Officer before the age of thirty, and tried their best to improve the star power level before the age of fifty in order to achieve a ranking in the Star Officer Refining. ”

Ye Xing couldn't help but be silent, it was all the genius star cultivators in the entire Ziwei Star Domain, the outer ring, the second ring, and even the first ring star domain, how difficult it was to stand out from it.

"Talents like ours are rare here. But in the refining of star officials, almost everyone is a Xuan-level life star, and there are even earth-level life stars. Those demon-level geniuses, we can't match them. Li Xiangsheng sighed with some pessimism.

"Even so," Ye Xing maintained his usual tone and said seriously, "Should we give up?"

Li Xiangsheng was stunned by his question, only to hear Ye Xing continue: "Xing Xiu all the way, there is no advance or retreat. If you are not willing to be mediocre, you can only move forward desperately. The talent may not be as good as theirs, but the results are unknown before they come out, and we can catch up and surpass through hard work and opportunities, and go further. ”

Ye Xing paused, looked at the sky outside the window of the restaurant, and whispered: "Everyone's destiny seems to determine our fate, once the destiny is determined, the fate cannot be changed." But there is still one way left in the heavens - the Star Division Realm, the second way to change the stars and change lives. If you are dissatisfied with your own fate, on this path, you can change your fate, change it to a fate that you are in control of and satisfied with. ”

Li Xiangsheng's eyes lit up, he looked at Ye Xing with respect, and said with a fist: "Brother Ye, wake up the dreamer with a word! Yes, our fate can be changed." As long as you reach the Star Division realm, you can change a life star, and it is not necessarily who is strong or weak in the new life star. Thinking of this, Li Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing and drank the fruit wine in the cup in one gulp.

Then, Li Xiangsheng said with a straight face: "Brother Ye, the firmness of your heart really makes me admire, I believe that you will definitely be able to shine in the refining of star officials in twelve years." ”

Ye Xing smiled and thanked him.

"Why don't you eat?" Tang Xiaotang's mouth was bulging, and he looked at the two people inarticulately.

"Because you've eaten it all. Ye Xing looked at the empty plate on the table a little helplessly, and couldn't figure out how Tang Xiaotang's little belly could hold so much food.

Tang Xiaotang's mouth chewing froze, and he said with some weakness: "I didn't notice it, then let's order some more dishes." Then she called the waiter and ordered another dish from the previous one.

There was a sudden sound at the top of the stairs, and several young men and girls wearing blue water-patterned star robes walked up, looking around for empty seats. One of the teenagers looked at Ye Xing's table, and noticed Li Xiangsheng, who was drinking with Ye Xing, with a playful smile on his face, and walked towards him.

"Yo, isn't this Li Xiangsheng Li Gongzi?"

Ye Xing and Li Xiangsheng were enjoying the second dish they had just served, when they heard a greeting with a playful meaning, and turned their heads to see a young man of the same age approaching. The handsome face had a modest smile, and there was a bit of pride and contempt in the smile.

As soon as Li Xiangsheng saw this young man's appearance, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Song Yanqing, I'm having dinner with my friends, so I don't have time to pay attention to you." ”

The smile on the handsome young man's face deepened, "We are also world friends, you don't have to drive me away as soon as we meet, do you? I still want to meet your friend?" His gaze turned to Ye Xing and greeted: "In Xia Song Yanqing, Li Xiangsheng's world friend of the same star, who is this friend?"

Li Xiangsheng said in a stiff tone: "The same star is true, even if you are a world friend, we don't have such a good friendship." ”

Song Yanqing didn't care, and looked at Ye Xing with a light smile.

Ye Xing, who didn't know the situation, had no choice but to reply: "My name is Ye Xing." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Ye," Song Yanqing stroked his palm and nodded, "I heard that there is a genius of the Xuan-level third-grade life star in this class of Huomang Academy, it must be Brother Ye, right?"

After several companions behind him approached, they all looked at Ye Xing with shocked expressions on their faces when they heard this. The life star of the third grade of the Xuan level is very high.

Ye Xing was a little surprised, he didn't expect that someone would know about yesterday's events today.

Song Yanqing saw the surprise on Ye Xing's face, and said with a smile: "This morning, Huomang Academy has released the list of fifty students to be enrolled, and Brother Ye's name is the second. ”

It turned out that the list had already been released, Ye Xing nodded suddenly.

"Presumably Brother Ye hasn't seen that list yet," a hint of arrogance flashed on Song Yanqing's face, and he smiled lightly: "Of course, for us geniuses, we don't think about whether we can get in at all, we only care about the ranking." ”

"Then how many are you in?" Tang Xiaotang asked curiously.

Song Yanqing said with a humble face: "I applied for Shuimang Academy, ranking third. He smiled again, "But coincidentally, I'm also the lifestar of the Xuan-level three-grade." ”

Ye Xing and Tang Xiaotang both looked surprised. Unexpectedly, this person is also a Xuan-level third-grade, but he is only ranked third among the freshmen of Shuimang Academy, it seems that the students recruited by Shuimang Academy are all talented.

"It's the same as Brother Ye Xing, then you're not bad. Tang Xiaotang said seriously.

It's not bad! Song Yanqing's face trembled slightly. Such an evaluation is tantamount to saying that it is not as good. He controlled the expression on his face and continued: "In this way, Brother Ye and I seem to be more destined. He looked at Li Xiangsheng provocatively and said, "Li Xiangsheng, your life star grade is a bit low." ”

Li Xiangsheng didn't get angry immediately as before, but said flatly: "Low is lower, but it's also lower than your second grade, it's not a big deal, who can go further in the future." When you get to the Star Division, let's see whose life star grade is higher. ”

Song Yanqing was a little surprised, this was not Li Xiangsheng's usual reaction. Glancing at Ye Xing thoughtfully, he said, "It seems that you are quite confident in yourself." ”

"If you don't even have a little self-confidence, how can you go further?" Li Xiangsheng's tone was surging with an emotion called self-confidence, which he had never had when he faced Song Yanqing before. Song Yanqing subconsciously looked at Ye Xing, with gratitude in her eyes.

It seems that Li Xiangsheng can't be hit today. Song Yanqing suddenly smiled: "Then let's see, how far you can catch up with me." Don't bother for now, I still have to entertain a few friends. He glanced at Ye Xing, turned around and walked to the empty table with a few companions.

"He's also Fulu Xing's?" Ye Xing asked.

"Song Yanqing is the son-in-law of the Song family of Fuluxing. My Li family and the Song family both run businesses, and there is some friction between them, and the relationship between the two families has not been very good. Li Xiangsheng nodded and explained, he sighed: "My life star is only a grade of Xuan-level, which is lower than him, and I can't avoid ridicule, and it seems that even the face of the Li family is inferior to that of the Song family." ”

"Talent and strength are two different things. Ye Xing comforted.

Li Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "Although I hate Song Yanqing very much, I have to admit that he has good talent and strength. I am a fifth-level star warrior with him, but I am not sure that I can defeat him, his star power is a little strange and difficult to deal with. ”

"There is still a long way to go, don't be presumptuous, just go your own way. Ye Xing said.

Li Xiangsheng nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you, Ye Xing, I always felt that I couldn't compare to those top geniuses before, but now I have the confidence to catch up." ”

"Then congratulations, self-confidence is the first step to becoming a strong person. Ye Xing couldn't help but think of the scene when Old Man Hong said this to himself, at that time he only thought it was a false seriousness, but now it is a good word to comfort people.

Li Xiangsheng finished saluting Ye Xing with a glass of wine, then stood up and said, "It's really my luck to know Brother Ye. I'll go back to practice first, and I'll see you at the academy tomorrow. After saying goodbye to Ye Xing and Tang Xiaotang, he left.

Tang Xiaotang suddenly laughed and said to Ye Xing: "Brother Ye Xing, you just looked like my father admonished and taught me." ”

Ye Xing smiled, and his thoughts returned to the blacksmith shop on Blue Mercury. I didn't expect that one day I would miss Old Man Hong, and I still remember his seemingly indecent words deeply.
