Chapter 9: Apprenticeship

As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Zhang Yang got up. I'm used to getting up at six o'clock, and I can't sleep even if I want to. I changed my clothes and went for a run.

After running, he started training in his yard according to the physical exercises taught by Lei Liang.

At half past seven, Yang Li shouted Zhang Yang, who was training in the yard, to eat.

"Whew... "Don't say it, Lei Liang's method really works, Zhang Yang's head is sweating, he rests for a while and starts to eat breakfast, breakfast is very simple, a bowl of white porridge, a boiled egg, a plate of pickles, Zhang Yang but eat with relish.

"Mom, I'm going to go out in a while. Zhang Yang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said to Yang Li in the kitchen.

Yang Li told Zhang Yang to pay attention to safety, and took 50 yuan from the bag and gave it to Zhang Yang.

After taking a shower, changing clothes, Zhang Yang went out.

Zhang Yang, who went out, was a little confused, the inner city was quite far away from Zhang Yang's home, how could he get there? Scratching the back of his head, he came up with a solution, one word: Run!

After running for almost twenty minutes, Zhang Yang once again came to the federal army sentry post that he passed by yesterday. Taking a breath, he stepped forward.

A soldier of the Federation Army wearing a pine needle green military uniform stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang took out the one-star badge issued by the Soul Master Association yesterday from his pocket and handed it to the soldier in front of him, the soldier looked at it, took out a thing like a mobile phone from his pocket and scanned it, after checking the information, he saluted like Zhang Yang and said, "Mr. Soul Master, please put away your badge and enter from the sidewalk here." ”

Zhang Yang took back the badge handed over by the soldier, put it in his pocket, and walked into the inner city according to the soldier's guidance.

Walking on the wide streets of the inner city, the feeling of flamboyance is a little different from yesterday. Yesterday was a car ride. Zhang Yang is walking all the way to see all the way, the inner city is not very big, but the building is very magnificent. There are not many pedestrians on the road, and the vehicles that come and go look very high-end. Passing by a villa area, the house was bigger than Zhao Dabao's house, and there was a swimming pool in the yard. Zhang Yang fantasizes that one day he can buy a house like this for his parents.

After a while, he walked to the door of the pyramid-shaped Soul Master Association. When you enter the lobby, show your badge and explain your intentions to the guide, and follow the guide to the elevator door. The golden elevator door prints a flamboyant figure.

"Mr. Soul Master, this is the elevator that goes straight to the ninth floor, and after you go up, someone will guide you. With a slight bow, the young lady stood outside the elevator door with a smile on her face.

The golden elevator doors closed slowly, and slowly rose with the slight shaking of the elevator.

'Ding'

I got off the elevator and followed the staff on the ninth floor to the vice president's office. Zhang Yang pushed open the door and walked in, the office is very large, and the wall inside is the whole floor-to-ceiling window, which can clearly overlook most of the inner city.

Zhuge Hong, who was sitting behind the desk, saw Zhang Yang coming in, and got up with a smile to greet him.

"Come, come, sit here, sit here. Zhuge Hong pointed to the sofa next to him.

Zhang Yang sat on one side of the sofa according to Zhuge Hong's meaning, and Zhuge Hong sat opposite, the six five-pointed stars on the soul master badge pinned to his chest were shining, and his eyes looked up and down at Zhang Yang, who was somewhat restrained.

Zhang Yang was uncomfortable being stared at, scratched his head and asked, "President Zhuge don't know what you called me over today?"

"Alas, don't call me president, my age should be the same as your grandfather, you can call me Grandpa Zhuge in the future." Zhuge Hong waved his hand at Zhang Yang and said with a kind face.

"Well... Okay, Grandpa Zhuge . Hearing Zhuge Hong say this, Zhang Yang's eyes were a little low, and he remembered Grandpa Wang next door.

"Hehe, I called you here today to tell you that the results of your test yesterday have broken the record of the Soul Master Association! I also reported this matter to the Soul Master Association!" Zhuge Hong smiled at Zhang Yang.

Then he took out a black envelope from his pocket and put it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Yang, and said: "This is the soul master card opened with your information, there are 100,000 in it, and it is a record-breaking reward given to you by the Soul Master Association! You can use this card to go to any bank or soul master association to withdraw money." ”

"Ten... 100,000?!Grandpa Zhuge I... I can't ask for it!" Zhang Yang shouted in surprise, 100,000 yuan is an astronomical amount for a child who only has 100 yuan of pocket money every month!

"All soul masters who can break the records of the Soul Master Association will have corresponding rewards, which is formulated by the Soul Master Association to encourage those excellent soul masters!

It's not the money I personally gave you, so you can rest assured that you can take it!" Looking at Zhang Yang's reaction, Zhuge Hong felt funny, smiled and explained.

"The soul master card inside is issued by every soul master registered in the association, according to different levels, some subsidies will be given to the registered soul master every month, the first-order soul master has three thousand yuan per month, and the second-order soul master will be six thousand. Zhuge Hong said again.

Zhang Yang was a little happy when he heard that the soul master would have a subsidy every month, Zhao Daqiang and Lei Liang didn't tell him that the soul master would have money every month, maybe they didn't care about the thousands of yuan at all, but Zhang Yang was different! A few thousand yuan was a huge amount of money to him! If he could give his family a few thousand yuan every month, then he wouldn't have to be so poor in life! Mom and Dad would be very happy when they found out!

Zhuge Hong looked at the young man who was sitting opposite him in a daze, smiled, and said, "Okay, after the business is over, now I want to tell you some private matters." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yang to ask, Zhuge Hong opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know the Soul Master Competition?"

Of course Zhang Yang knows! The Soul Master Contest is a soul master competition led by the Federation, which is held every two years, divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced, corresponding to junior high school, high school, and university!

There is a fee to watch the live broadcast of the game, so Zhang Yang always goes to Zhao Dabao's house to watch it with Zhao Dabao!

I didn't know why Zhuge Hong asked this, so he looked at the old man opposite with some confusion.

Zhuge Hong saw Zhang Yang's somewhat puzzled eyes, smiled, leaned back on the sofa and said, "Do you want to participate in next year's Junior Soul Master Competition?"

Zhang Yang was shocked when he heard this! Of course he wanted to participate! It was the most important competition in the whole Federation!

The Intermediate Soul Master and Advanced Soul Master Competitions will be broadcast live by the whole Federation!

Although the Junior Soul Master Contest will not be broadcast live, if you perform well, you will be recruited by the top high schools of the eight major city-states! And it is the kind with a full scholarship! It is basically half a foot into the top soul master university of the Federation!

But now he can't even communicate with the beast soul in his body, and he can't even release a first-order skill. Although his Yuan Force is very high, and he can reach the middle stage of the first order just after awakening, it is useless to have Yuan Power alone!

Zhang Yang's face was slightly depressed, and he said, "Grandpa Zhuge , I can't even release a first-order skill now... I'm afraid I'm not eligible to participate in the competition. ”

Zhuge Hong smiled, looked at Zhang Yang, who had a pale face, and said, "Indeed, it is not so easy to participate in the Soul Master Competition, first of all, you have to stand out among all the junior soul masters under the age of 16 in our Seventh Acropolis!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, and when he competed with someone who was one or two years older than him, his advantage in Yuan Li no longer existed, let alone compared.

Zhuge Hong said again: "However, don't be presumptuous, you can reach the middle stage of the first order as soon as you awaken your soul power, breaking the highest record of the Soul Master Association, which means that you are at least good at Yuan Force! ”

"As long as it is trained and cultivated, I believe that it is not out of reach to be able to ascend to the All-Federation Soul Master Competition. Zhuge Hong leaned back on the sofa and said.

"Can I really do it?" Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the old man opposite, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"You have to believe in yourself first, as long as you worship me as a teacher, I will teach you how to become stronger and become a stronger soul master!" Speaking of this, Zhuge Hong stood up, his hands behind his back, his face was not angry and arrogant, and the six-star soul master badge on his chest was shining.

Zhang Yang looked a little distracted, after all, for Zhang Yang, Zhuge Hong was the strongest person he had ever seen, and it was really unthinkable to be able to learn from such a strong soul master!

The vice president of the Soul Master Association is willing to accept himself as an apprentice, which is really something that he can't even think of! Since such a powerful soul master says that he has hope, it is better to give it a go!

Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, stood up, and bowed ninety degrees to Zhuge Hong, who was standing with his hands behind his back: "Teacher, please accept me as an apprentice!"

Zhuge Hong looked at the bowing young man, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he walked over to help the bowing Zhang Yang, and said, "Well, good apprentice! In the future, you will cultivate more diligently and strive to stand on the stage of the Soul Master Competition!"

"Teacher, I will definitely work hard, and I won't let you down!" Zhang Yang's eyes revealed firmness.

"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, except for weekends, you will come to the Soul Master Association every day to report, there is my special training room, and you will train there in the future!" Zhuge Hong patted his shoulder, and after encouraging Zhang Yang a few words, he let Zhang Yang leave with a black envelope, and asked Zhang Yang to report to him tomorrow morning.

Regarding the school, Zhuge Hong said that he would come forward to communicate. After all, Zhang Yang is already a soul master, and the school he will go to in the future is also a soul master school, and what is taught in the ordinary class of the school is no longer important to Zhang Yang.

Isn't it easy and enjoyable for the Soul Master Association to ask for a student in an ordinary class!

In fact, the teachers who taught the awakening class in junior high school all belonged to the Soul Master Association, and they just worked in the school.

As soon as Zhang Yang walked out of the door with his front foot, the expression on Zhuge Hong's face on his back foot couldn't hold back, and he laughed out loud!

Zhang Yang is the first soul master in the history of mankind who has just broken through to the middle of the first order, Zhuge Hong doesn't believe that such a young man with Yuan Li will be mediocre, he really touches his heart of love and talent.

He wanted to see what the teenager would achieve in the future.
