Kapitel 37: Sun Ming
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Ji's days were free. The process of opening a new shop to accumulate customer reputation was a torturous process, but fortunately, Zhou Ji was not short of money now. He just lacked a place to settle down with his daughter.
The small shop had a small second floor, and Zhou Ji tidied up the second floor as a small home.
Zhou Ji originally planned to set up the element gathering array on the second floor, but later he realized that the key to the element gathering array was to absorb spiritual essence from underground. Once it was set up on the second floor, it would completely lose its effect. Therefore, in the end, Zhou Ji made a special compartment in the innermost part of the first floor, which was specially used for cultivation.
After the concentration of spiritual essence in the first city was five times higher, Zhou Ji even felt that the concentration was almost ten percent of the concentration of the previous spiritual essence pond.
Of course, the bad news was that the consumption of spiritual crystals had increased a lot. Usually, one would have to change a set of spiritual crystals in one night.
As for his daughter, she had been cultivating diligently recently. However, Zhou Ji did not interfere with her. He only gave her two hours a day in the morning to explain some cultivation techniques and cultivation matters to her. After the afternoon nap, it was free time to exercise. Perhaps his daughter had really grown up. Now, she did not watch dramas anymore in the afternoon. Occasionally, she would take Little White for a walk to get some fresh air. After that, she would take Little White upstairs to cultivate.
In any case, she was much more diligent than her father.
A series of footsteps came down the stairs. Zhou Ji hurriedly looked up the stairs and saw his daughter, who was wearing a beautiful blue dress, pounce on the stairs. She directly jumped toward the spirit collecting platform, scaring Zhou Ji so much that he hurriedly caught her.
On the stairs behind his daughter, Little White rolled and rolled in a circle and crashed into Zhou Ji's leg.
Perception Spell and Two-Stage Soaring Spell.
These were the other two spells that Zhou Ji had taught Xiao Rui after he taught her the spell of controlling objects. The first one was specially modified and created by Zhou Ji. It was used to sense the surrounding environment and other creatures. The main effect was to magnify the cultivator's own perception ability. This spell was a must-learn spell for every cultivator. It had miraculous effects whether it was in a fight or something else.
For Xiao Rui, the effect of this spell was obviously greater.
It could almost replace all the functions of the eyes.
"Hehehe... Daddy, what are you doing? I called you just now, but you didn't reply."
Xiao Rui threw herself into Zhou Ji's arms and acted coquettishly, rubbing against his lapels intimately. Little White anxiously circled around Zhou Ji's trouser legs.
"I was busy just now, I didn't notice." Zhou Ji held his daughter in his arms and rubbed his chin against her soft face. The newly grown stubble made his daughter squeak. Soon, she escaped the clutches of her father. With a laugh, she climbed up the stairs and went up to the second floor. Little White followed behind her like a stalker.
Zhou Ji was watching his daughter climb the stairs while shaking her little butt. He was filled with the happiness and satisfaction of a father.
Since she learned this Perception Spell, Xiao Rui had become much more cheerful. Sometimes, when Zhou Ji was not paying attention, she would run out to the supermarket next door to buy candy to eat...
Days passed by.
At the end of October, the Bai family's elementary class welcomed their first midterm exam. The top ten students in the class would be rewarded with crystals. As for the exam format, it was divided into two parts. One part was the knowledge exam, the written exam, and the other part was the practical exam, which was a one-on-one practical exercise.
The written exam was not a difficult problem for Sun Ming. After all, the exam was what the lecturers taught. On this aspect, he was on the same starting line as everyone else, and all he had to do was to work harder than the others.
Of course, he was looking forward to the practical test today.
Yes, he was looking forward to today's practical test!
In the square, rows of young men and women aged 14 to 15 sat in groups of three to five on the ground. On the other side, there were "houses" that were two meters tall, three meters wide, and had two small doors. Apart from the stone bricks, these houses seemed to be mixed with some materials. Under the sunlight, mysterious patterns were reflected.
"Sun Ming, Jiang Yong, exam room B number three."
The lecturer was holding the name list and shouting.
Sun Ming heard this and stood up at the same time as another boy.
This Jiang Yong was not very familiar with him. He only knew that this person was a relative of the Bai family. Looking at his surname, he knew that he should be from his mother's side. Their relationship was probably not very close.
Sun Ming didn't look at him anymore. He walked to the third small house that marked the second line with familiarity. He glanced at Jiang Yong and randomly chose a door to enter.
He closed the door, sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and meditated.
After a few breaths, the scenery in front of him turned into an arena. The arena was a circular shape with a diameter of 100 meters. It was half black and half white. The material was unknown. It looked like it was floating in the air. Looking down, it was a sea of rolling clouds. Looking up, it was a blue sky and a scorching sun hanging high in the sky.
Sun Ming was in the black half of the arena, while the opposite white half was Jiang Yong. The two of them were dressed exactly the same as when they entered the room. It was as if they had been transported to this arena by some kind of array.
Of course, Sun Ming and the other students were familiar with this thing. In today's world, the rules in the city were strict, the law and order were good, the residents lived and worked in peace. The barbaric era of fighting and killing had long passed. However, in the wilderness of the planet, on the desolate planet between the planets, there were still unstable factors that could cause bloodshed. In order to prevent the students they nurtured from becoming flowers in a greenhouse, the Bai family paid a high price to purchase this large-scale array formation, the "training field", from the Wangfang Trading Company.
The training field's function was to place the consciousness of the two cultivators who entered the same room into a set space and compete according to the rules. Of course, on the Bai family's side, there was only one rule for their fight, and that was a fight to the death!
Only by falling out of the arena, dying, or admitting defeat would the fight be considered over.
99% pain feedback had once caused many students who had been killed in the fight to have a mental breakdown. This was also the Bai family's way of identifying students. If they couldn't even bear the pain, then they would obediently switch to learning knowledge and theory classes. Fighting wasn't suitable for them.
With a slight thought, Sun Ming looked at the boundary of the black-and-white arena. There was a light screen that blocked the two of them. At this moment, with a beeping sound, a ten-second countdown appeared on the light screen.
Immediately, Sun Ming circulated his spiritual essence, and a careful whirlwind slowly took shape in his hand.
Jiang Yong, who was opposite him, also raised his hands, and a fire snake appeared in front of him.
There was nothing new in a battle between spiritual cultivators, especially among these little qi refining fellows.
The spells clashed, and that was it.
The countdown ended, and the spells in their hands flew out at the same time.
In terms of speed, the fire snake seemed to fly faster than the little whirlwind, and the two spells met in the black half of the field. The fire snake wanted to go around the whirlwind, but the whirlwind seemed to have an attractive force that pulled it back. The two collided. The whirlwind slowed down and continued to fly toward Jiang Yong. The fire snake, on the other hand, caught up with the tornado, either passively or actively.
Jiang Yong saw that the situation was not good and quickly retreated to the edge of the arena.
The fire snake's fire was instantly affected by the wind. However, very quickly, the fire rose up along the direction of the whirlwind and dissipated. The fire snake also gradually shrank and disappeared. On the other hand, the size of the whirlwind had only been reduced a little, and there was not much change.
Jiang Yong, who was on the opposite side, obviously did not expect the power of Sun Ming's whirlwind to be so powerful. After the fire snake had just disappeared, another fire snake flew out from the distance ahead of him.
The whirlwind had already arrived in front of him, and this time, the fire snake went into the wind. Unfortunately, the situation was the same as before. Under the whirlwind, the fire snake was quickly torn apart, leaving only flames that spun with the whirlwind. It seemed to have become a fire tornado.
This time, Jiang Yong didn't have time to dodge. The small fire tornado wrapped around him and turned him into a burning man in a minute.
The burning pain and the feeling of a small knife cutting through his skin mixed together, made him scream involuntarily.
"I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"
