Chapter 265 The Eight Immortals cross the sea in the Academy Trial, and the fire inheritance tree pr
The moonlight was like water, shining in the quiet night, and the entire campus was lost in thought. The school building looks gentle and calm in the moonlight, as if it is guarding the secrets of the world.
The dark sky is as soft as velvet and covered with brilliant diamonds. When looking at the stars, no matter how great a human being has achieved, he will suddenly feel his own insignificance and insignificance.
The blue star is just a speck of dust in the endless universe, floating quietly without any influence.
In the student dormitory, although the lights have long been turned off, if you listen carefully, you can hear heavy breathing in the darkness. Tomorrow is a major moment that determines the trajectory of your life. Logically speaking, you should fall asleep as soon as possible and use your best They were in a good mental state to face tomorrow's trial, but they couldn't sleep under the overwhelming emotions.
Dark night makes human emotions more sensitive and real.
Missing is like a gust of wind, always coming suddenly, making us unable to breathe, letting a knife pierce deeply into our hearts, causing us great pain.
A middle-aged man tried hard to control his breathing in the dark, trying to get himself to sleep quickly, but in the dark night, tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes, and his dead father and his wife kept flashing in his mind like a movie. Your own time.
At that time, I was still a child, with my parents protecting me from the wind and rain. But as the years went by, my father's mountain-like back gradually became rickety and thin, and eventually he became an old man lying in bed unable to move. I was trapped by time. Pushing from behind, he was already middle-aged before he was ready. After his father passed away, he no longer had a family member in this world, and his soul had no harbor to rely on. From now on, he had to face this cold and cold world alone.
Nothing in this world is more powerful than longing. Some people become strong, some become fragile, and some feel lonely.
The man didn't know what he had learned from his longing, and he fell asleep without knowing what time it was late at night.
When I opened my eyes again, I woke up to the sound of the ethereal guqin. When I first woke up, I didn't know where I was for a moment, but I was soon awakened by the sound of my roommates getting dressed. The man quickly got dressed. I put on good clothes, washed my face with cold water, and felt completely refreshed. I casually wiped my face with my arm and hurried out.
Downstairs in the dormitory, people flowed towards the playground. When they arrived, they saw academic staff wearing black combat uniforms standing solemnly at the door, guiding the crowd, and formed four square formations under the rostrum.
After lining up, it didn’t take long to see the school’s senior officials sitting on the podium one after another. A vigorous old man stood up and introduced himself, saying that his name was Jiang Tianci and that he was the principal of Zhanyuan College. Then he introduced everyone present in turn. Vice-principal, there are several familiar faces among the vice-principal, they were all the people who fought to protect them in Xianyang City at that time.
Among them, the young master of Yama, who is young and sitting among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, is extremely eye-catching. However, the students standing in the audience are not 18-year-old ignorant youths who are inexperienced in the world. Everyone knows that this Young Master Yama is the highest-ranking figure above.
"I know that you have all experienced a lot of hardships and pain before you got here. Before you, some were civil servants, some were teachers, some were doctors, some were construction workers, and some were security guards. At that time, you felt that you I have very few things, but when a natural disaster strikes and God takes back all the things I had before, I realize how precious I have.
You must have questions, since God has given these things to us, why does it take them away again? Take away my glory, humiliate my dignity, and bring me to this point of despair?
Since you were determined to take everything from me, why did you give me everything then?
Take away everything from you, just because God wants to give you more.
I give you glory, wealth, fine clothes and food, just to let you know all the things in the world. It makes you poor and in desperate situations, just to make you understand the impermanence of life.
Only by taking away everything you own can you get rid of all the impetuousness and temptation in the world, withstand thousands of tempers, your heart will be as still as water, and you will understand the world.
Because what God is about to give you is not the wealth of a wealthy person, nor the power to command the world, but it is the most precious and mysterious treasure in the world.
When you feel fearful and painful and cannot hold on any longer, you should also realize that the time has come to decide your fate. Because fear is not negative, in fact, it is the beginning of a person's true strength and the starting point of becoming a hero. People who don't know how to fear don't know what difficulties are and can't overcome them.
Only those who know how to fear can arouse their own strength. Only those who know how to fear can have the courage to overcome fear. Those who understand the horror of fear and can transcend it and conquer it are heroes.
Have the courage to face it and look down upon the loss!
So on the first day of school, I decided to give you the first lesson, which is how to face fear and how to overcome fear. "
After Jiang Tianci finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding on the podium, and soon the people in the audience also roared enthusiastically.
The academic staff were distributing two talismans stuck together, a dagger and a number plate to everyone one by one.
The number plate allows everyone to stick it on their back or chest.
At the same time, several military green troop transport trucks also drove over outside the playground.
According to the square formation, everyone got on the car one by one and dispersed to four locations in the southeast, northwest and northwest along the road built by Yama in the black forest.
In the car, the academic staff introduced the rules in detail. You can enter the forest with the distributed materials. If you walk to the school alive, you can enroll. You are not allowed to enter within a three-kilometer radius of the road. There will be signboards in the forest. Once you enter, the enrollment will be canceled immediately. qualifications.
The man sat in the back of the truck anxiously, holding the dagger in his hand with one hand, and pressing the pocket with the talisman on his chest with the other. The air in the car was tense, and no one was in the mood to talk at this time.
When they exited the Black Forest from the east, everyone got off the car at the edge of the forest and waited for instructions from the academic staff.
A man in combat uniform and sunglasses looked at his watch intently. As the second hand reached seven o'clock, he roared: "The trial has officially begun, come in!"
Following the man's order, everyone who was already ready to go ran into the black forest in fear.
After everyone went in, one person walked up to the man in sunglasses, took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Old Wang, how many people do you think can successfully enroll this time?"
"Originally, it could be at most 50%, but the principal's speech revealed the answers to the test questions in advance, so it should be around 60-70%!"
"Yes, the principal has basically made his words clear. If you don't understand the deeper meaning, it will be like rotten wood. Even if you are lucky enough to get in, you won't have much potential in the future."
Just as the two were talking, everyone rushed into the black forest. As everyone went deeper, the difference in physical strength was immediately apparent. The one with the strongest physical strength was a middle-aged man with a sinister face. and a young man with a lean build and a hideous scar on his face.
The people in the middle are the largest, and they are generally moving forward together. Those behind are the old, weak, sick and disabled.
The man is in the middle position. He does not run with all his strength as soon as he comes up. He always reserves half of his energy to deal with accidents that may happen at any time.
Just when the people running in front gradually lost sight of their figures, three monsters with livid faces and blood-red eyes suddenly jumped out from the forest next to them.
As soon as he appeared, he flew towards the crowd.
The crowd was immediately frightened and screamed by this sudden accident, and they scattered and ran for their lives. Several people who were targeted by Bai Zhan were already panicking. This ferocious monster immediately awakened their deep-seated fear of Yin soldiers, and everything was gone. I couldn't care less, there was only one thought in my mind, escape!
One of the men was running when he tripped over a dead branch on the ground and fell a few times. When he looked back, he saw that the monster chasing him had appeared behind him and was heading towards him. Head on.
When faced with this situation, the man seemed to have forgotten the dagger he had been holding in his hand, and closed his eyes in fear, as if this would make the monster disappear automatically.
After closing his eyes, the man felt a stench hitting his face, followed by the sound of nails scraping against the blackboard. After the sound sounded three times, there was no movement.
"Is this how you face your fears? What the principal said just now is completely false to you! Get up!"
A man's voice came to his ears. When the man opened his eyes, he found that white light was emitting from his body. The monster had disappeared and was replaced by a combatant.
After he saw it, he realized that he had been eliminated, and immediately begged him to give him a chance. He was not ready just now, and he would definitely perform well this time.
The combatants were too lazy to listen to this waste's nonsense. They knocked him unconscious with a raised hand, carried him on his upper body, and ran outside.
Scenes like this happened everywhere in the Black Forest, and Jiang You, who was flying high in the sky, had a panoramic view.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "These are the survivors who have experienced the siege of the Yin soldiers. If ordinary people were to behave even more unbearably!"
Jiang You Yujian was patrolling at high altitude. With the strong eyesight and perspective brought by Tongyou, his field of vision was extremely broad. He could take care of almost every road while flying rapidly.
The reason why he appeared here was because Jiang Tianci captured the young men and asked him to record the outstanding performers and keep them for training in the future.
Jiang You held the form and pen given by Jiang Tian in his hand. There were three items on the form, namely kills, resourcefulness, and character.
The proportions of killing and escaping are the same, with character accounting for the largest proportion.
After an hour passed, Jiang You had ten more numbers on his form.
The man also chose to run away at the first moment. When he stopped, he found that he had reached the depths of the mountain forest. There was dead silence around him and there was no sign of his companions. He looked up at the position of the sun and found the way to continue moving forward. direction.
On his way forward, he encountered Bai Zhan again, but at the last moment, he did not choose to escape. Instead, he chose to pierce the dagger in his hand into Bai Zhan's throat. Soon he discovered this monster That is to say, even if it looks scary on the outside, it will kill you if you pierce the throat with a dagger.
The first successful kill immediately gave the man endless courage, allowing him to take the initiative to fight Bai Zhan on the way.
Once the fear is broken, fighting becomes easier. After all, people have wisdom. When a man discovers that there is a white zombie wandering ahead, he takes the initiative to use the terrain to create traps to lure the white zombie to rush over. After falling into the pit, he takes advantage of the situation. Taking advantage of his unstable body, he rushed forward and sealed his throat with a knife.
If there is an encounter on the road, the man will run first and throw rocks back while running. As long as he can hit two or three times, Bai Zheng's body will be damaged. At this time, he will turn back to kill.
For this reason, he cut open his clothes with a dagger and made a special baggage for stones to carry on his back.
Just such a simple method is enough to put the man on Jiang You's list, ranking tenth.
It can be seen that although this trial seems difficult, as long as you can overcome your fear, tap your potential, and find a fighting method that suits you, the journey will be smooth.
The first one on the list is the security guard with a sinister face. This person is interesting. After meeting Bai Zong for the first time, he showed not fear, but a kind of morbid excitement. He was the first to take the initiative to fight Bai Zong. Yes, he fought fiercely, with a life-threatening attitude. In the first fight, he successfully killed him after consuming two amulet opportunities. There was no thought of escaping at all on the road thereafter, and he dealt with it head-on. The dagger is becoming more and more comfortable to use.
Killing all the way, currently in the first place.
Jiang You actually saw the shadow of himself when he first entered the gray world in this person. This person must have accumulated bad energy in his heart for a long time, and now he took this opportunity to vent it out. There was no fear at all, and there was only a sense of enjoyment. look.
"No, this person is much more perverted than I was at that time. If this person hadn't recovered his spiritual energy, he would definitely embark on a criminal path in the future. This is indeed a mental problem!"
But Jiang Ye would not have any prejudice against the big man because of this. When he was talking in his ears and went crazy, he was even crazier than him.
And even this kind of extreme person often progresses faster than ordinary people in the early stage of growth, and can be regarded as a good seedling. However, in the middle stage, due to a defective mentality, he is likely to stop moving forward. Will he be able to find his own way by then? , it is personal creation.
The unexpected person who ranked second was a woman. This woman looked to be in her mid-twenties. She had a green face, but she was indeed extremely determined. She also chose to run away when faced with the attack from Bai Zhan, but after a certain distance, she , turned around and pinched the tip of the dagger, staring at Bai Zhan. When he came closer, he flicked his wrist, and with a flash of white light, the dagger pierced Bai Zhan's head.
She is the fastest to solve the battle. She also uses daggers to cut out many wooden thorns for throwing. The reason why she is ranked second is mainly because she does not kill as many as the big man. Her purpose in fighting is to simply move forward and avoid. Try to avoid white stiffness when it is opened.
The third place was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle temperament. He relied on memorizing the location of the road in the car. Once he entered the forest, he did not move with the large group and ran towards the road alone. Go to where the warning sign is and follow it.
Cleverly taking advantage of the combatants' cleaning around the highway and the small number of white zombies, he continued to cut off vines with daggers along the way to increase his ability to fight the enemy. When he met people who were paying the same attention as him, he first obtained Because of their trust, he stole the talismans from their bodies and knocked them unconscious with stones.
Along the way, I have accumulated as many as five talismans on my body. It can be said that I am very thoughtful and ruthless. I only take the talismans without harming anyone's life, and I am stuck on Jiang You's bottom line.
Jiang You also had to deal with the follow-up for him and notified the combatants to take the unconscious man out.
In short, in this trial, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their abilities. This is another profound meaning of this trial.
This is like seeking the Tao. The teacher gives you the basic tools, and the next step is to use the tools at your fingertips to their limit, and at the same time, continue to use various methods to increase your strength along the way.
Only in this way can we find our own way, instead of mechanically repeating the ways of our predecessors.
It was also because of this that Jiang You ranked the bespectacled man in third place despite the fact that he had the fewest kills of Bai Zhan.
As time went by, the sun came to the top, and the people in front finally got closer to the school.
Jiang You contacted Song Shan and the four green zombies should be released.
The man fought through thorns and obstacles all the way, and finally rushed out of the forest. The outline of the school building could be seen in front of him. Seeing that victory was right in front of him, the man wanted to rush over as soon as he was full of energy.
But as he gradually approached, he suddenly felt that the surrounding air became colder, and a bad feeling came to his heart. The man unconsciously slowed down, and his eyes kept scanning around, trying to find out. Hidden dangers.
But there was no sign of Bai Zheng along the way. He thought it was because he was nervous. When he arrived not far from the east gate of the school, he saw a green monster standing there that was twice as big as the one he had seen before. In front of the door.
Even though the man was still two or three hundred meters away, he felt a strong sense of oppression.
He immediately understood that this monster was not something he could kill with his current strength, and he had to outsmart him. He tried to create a trap nearby, threw rocks over, luring the monster into the trap, and then rushed into the school gate with his speed.
But no matter how much he threw stones, the monster remained motionless and blocked the school gate.
Jiang You smiled in the air and looked at the scene below.
"This level requires you to work hard. How can you get through if you don't work hard?"
Different people have different ways of dealing with this situation.
The Hengrou Man came out after the man because he was addicted to killing. As soon as he came out, he was stopped by the man. After explaining the situation ahead, he wanted to join forces with him, but he didn't expect the Hengrou Man to rush out directly.
The man didn't expect this person to be so reckless, but after seeing the dagger in his hand flying up and down, and being able to fight the monster, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked towards the school gate.
Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity of entanglement between this person and the monster to rush into the door?
Victory at this time is already close at hand, and the man also feels that there is nothing wrong with his idea. As for the trial, as long as it can succeed, it doesn't matter what method is used. Otherwise, why are the rules of the trial so simple? Means?
Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered Jiang Tianci's speech before setting off.
"Only those who understand fear can arouse their own strength. Only those who understand fear have the courage to defeat fear. Those who understand the horror of fear and can transcend it and conquer it are heroes!"
Isn't this also an escape? My life is a process of constant escaping and constant compromise. The word hero is extremely far away from me, but now, is there a chance to become the hero the principal calls me?
Faced with whether to face fear and become a hero, or to use tricks to bypass fear and succeed, the man fell into a deep tangle.
Knowing the difficulties and pains you may face, constantly struggling in the fear of death, and still being able to defeat yourself is the path of a hero.
It takes true courage to choose this path. Yes, even if you have an appearance that everyone admires, a well-read talent and knowledge, endless wealth, and amazing magical powers, it does not prove your strength. Because the strength of the heart is the real strength.
Strong will and determination can overcome all difficulties. Persistent faith and a fearless mind are the most powerful weapons.
Jiang You focused all his attention on the man at this time. He had faced this kind of choice before, and he wanted to know if this man would make the same decision as him.
The man's expression was tangled for three breaths before he quickly became firm and ran towards the school gate.
Jiang You sighed and took a pen to cross out the man's number.
There are already four crossed out above.
Just when the tip of Jiang You's pen touched the paper, he suddenly stopped and saw the man running in front of the school gate, turned around, and rushed towards Lu Zheng.
Jiang You couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
"The Green Zombie in the east has released all its strength, no need to hold it back anymore!"
"yes!"
The situation in the east looked similar, so Jiang You turned his attention to other directions.
The first thing to look at was the woman in second place. After she discovered that the Green Zombie was blocking the door, she also chose to wait for her teammates at the back. After the four of them gathered together, she brought the dagger and talisman over, and she One person performs a long-range attack on the Green Zombie from a distance, and the others are waiting nearby. Once the Green Zombie leaves, these people will rush into the door.
From this, we can already see the intelligence of this woman. She already knew that the school would protect the life safety of those participating in the training, so she expressed herself as much as possible.
Jiang You contacted Song Shan and asked about the background information of this woman. It turned out that this person was a senior executive of a private company before. She was able to achieve this position at the age of only twenty-five, mainly because of her family connections, but these are not common in Xianyang City. Everything was gone in the destruction, and the only one she could rely on at this time was herself.
However, her career as an executive also allowed her to directly figure out the intentions of the school's senior management. The trial was just a form, and the actual content was nothing more than a screening mechanism. Entering the school was just a gimmick. The main thing was that she showed enough potential. .
As long as you are good enough, you will be admitted to the school even if you have not entered the school.
This kind of thinking was correct before the spiritual energy was revived, but she didn't know that the senior leaders of these schools, especially Jiang You, after their strength reached a certain level, their understanding of the avenue gradually deepened, and personal fate was added to their thinking. considerations.
When it comes to entering the school, there will be no exceptions. Even if you are very good, but you are not admitted, it only means that you are not qualified enough and have no connection with the school, so they will not force you to stay.
Jiang You understood the woman's little plan and told Green Zombie to stop caring about the others and rush towards the woman. Jiang You stopped looking and went to watch the bespectacled man's tricks.
Silver Mirror Man did not disappoint Jiang You.
Many people confuse purity and persistence, but they are actually different.
The so-called persistence means not shedding tears even if you don’t see the coffin, but purity means not shedding tears even if you see the coffin.
The man with glasses is a purely shameless person who takes unscrupulous means to the extreme.
After he found out the situation, he turned back and gathered all the people who arrived later to make an appointment to go to the nearby Ximen.
As long as we gather the manpower from both directions and work together, we will be able to kill the green zombies blocking the door and let everyone enter the school together.
Those who could arrive at this time all had kill records in their hands. At this time, everyone was no longer a mob like before. They gathered together to easily solve the white zombies on the road, and quickly arrived at Ximen. .
At this time, the man with glasses seemed to have gained the trust of everyone and became a leader. After recruiting the people from Ximen, he thought of continuing to the North Gate to increase his strength.
Jiang You saw it and directly transferred the green zombie from the south gate.
Then the man with glasses saw that he couldn't steal any holes, so he led everyone to attack the two green zombies. On the way to attack, the man with glasses secretly fell behind. Then he sold his teammates without hesitation, turned around and headed south. Run to the door.
Be the only one to pass easily.
Jiang You's attitude towards this person is also very complicated. This world is a society where the weak will eat the strong. The weak will be bullied, oppressed, and eaten by the strong. There is no need to deny this.
And the man with glasses can use his words and calculations to successfully gain the trust of those behind him and pave the way for him. This is also a sign of strength. Doesn’t the Fifth Master like to do this?
But when such a person joins the organization, there is no loyalty at all. He is the only one on his path, if not others who are traveling with him.
After joining an organization, the higher you climb, the greater the damage you will cause later on.
But the sea is tolerant and tolerant of all rivers. Since Zhanyuan College has taken the word "yuan", it can teach without distinction. This is tolerant, and Jiang You still has it.
And it's good to put a catfish in it. No, just after entering school, you can show these people what it means to have a sinister heart.
This is also a school trial. If it were anywhere else, these people would probably be tricked to death by the man with glasses.
The trial is gradually coming to an end.
In the frontal battle in the east, after the two paid the price of serious injuries and weakened the Green Zombie's strength, the man used the amulet on his body to block the Green Zombie's attack, creating an opportunity for Hengniu Man to successfully kill the Green Zombie and retreat and enter the academy.
The man with glasses from the south succeeded in stealing the chicken and entered the academy unscathed.
The battle at Ximen was the most brutal. After nearly half of the people were eliminated, two were forced to retreat, and the rest entered the academy.
The north is the most interesting. The Green Zombie is only chasing the woman. The woman uses kite flying tactics to entangle the Green Zombie in the mountains and forests. After all the tools in her hands are exhausted, it seems that the Green Zombie still has no intention of letting her go, and she doesn't want to let him go. If he dared to let Green Zombie break the amulet on his body, he could only grind it slowly and go around in a long circle. After everyone had basically entered, he ran to the school gate. As soon as he entered, they collapsed on the ground and gasped for air.
The establishment of Green Zombie only targets the elites in front and does not hinder those behind.
After Jiang You recovered the four green zombies and sent them back to Jiang Tianci, the trial officially came to an end.
The result was beyond the expectations of the combatants, and 60% of the total number was eliminated, mainly because the man with glasses had deceived many people.
After the eliminated people were sent back, the four adults gathered on the playground again. It was already dusk.
However, in just a few hours, everyone felt like they were surviving a disaster. Once the number of people was reduced, the playground seemed empty.
At this time, everyone has received the baptism. Instead of the original lifeless and panic-stricken mood, there is a bit more vitality.
Jiang Tianci was also very satisfied with the result and directly announced Jiang You's ranking.
Only then did everyone realize that what they had done had always been noticed by others, and the man with glasses was the most frightened, fearing that his actions would cause dissatisfaction among the higher-ups and lead to him being kicked out.
Moreover, the people around him who had been cheated by him also reported the bespectacled man's misconduct to the academic staff, and the only response they received was a rude shut-up.
Jiang Tianci began to read the ranking list, and the first place was still the handsome man, Zhang You. Except for his abnormal mental state, this person performed very well in all aspects. In particular, he was far ahead in the number of kills of Bai Zhan and had the highest total score.
The second place was the man who followed the ruthless man. Jiang You finally knew his name at this time, Shen Xue.
Jiang You gave him a high score in terms of character, and he and Zhang You evenly split Green Zombie's points, successfully promoting him to second place.
Shen Xue was also surprised and extremely excited. He knew that the reason why he ranked second was because his actions were recognized by the school. At that time, he chose to become a hero, and he finally did it.
This kind of positive and timely feedback is like rain after a long drought to a seedling. As for whether it can grow into a big tree in the future, it remains to be seen.
The third place turned out to be the man with glasses, Xu Tao!
After Xu Tao heard his name, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Others glared at him, but he simply ignored such a weak person. As long as he could be given a platform, he would be confident and absolutely Can be the former!
As Jiang Tianci read the names one by one, the woman's face became extremely ugly. In her direction, she was the first to arrive at the school gate. At the same time, she also made an act of "sacrifice for others", but she did not enter the top three. , even the top ten may not be included.
"Tenth place, He Peng!"
After He Peng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, as long as he ranked, he would be rewarded.
After Jiang Tianci recited the top ten, he announced that the first place would be awarded 100 credits, the second place would be awarded 80 points, the third place would be 50 points, and the remaining seven would be awarded 30 points!
Jiang You made an impromptu decision and rewarded the top three with the extraordinary materials he had obtained by killing Weiyi in Lishan Mountain.
After this trial, Jiang You watched the entire process from the perspective of a superior, and finally understood Ji Sheng's joy at that time knowing that he could pass on his legacy.
Especially the first and second place, he saw his own shadow. This subtle feeling made him understand four words: inheritance of fire!
The reason why human civilization can continue to this day depends on these four words. Whether it can have a place in the era when spiritual energy is revived and weirdness is rampant in the future will also depend on these four words!
This is also the reason why he received extra rewards. These things are nothing in his eyes, but for these three ordinary people, they are nothing less than a great blessing!
Jiang Tianci saw Jiang You's extra reward and nodded with a smile. The reason why he arranged a bunch of things for Jiang You to do personally was because of this deep intention!
A big tree not only absorbs nutrients to grow, it also needs to provide shelter and shade for the people below!
At this point, today's business was over. After Jiang Tianci sat down, a bald man walked up to the rostrum. After saluting everyone, he faced the people below.
"Okay, girls, the warm-up session is finally over. I will be responsible for everyone's military training later. Don't worry, I will definitely make everyone happy!"
The Guangda Hantou smiled ferociously while everyone in the audience screamed, revealing his white teeth!
