This feeling did not dissipate until late at night when practicing.

The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Buku went down to the gate at the foot of the mountain.

Today is the last day of admission, and there are not as many newcomers who come to report as yesterday. On the contrary, the freshmen who have completed the report are basically gathered in the square outside the gate.

Jiang Buku glanced at the steps, then walked in one direction.

"Brother, you are finally here!"

A few people gathered in a small circle over there, and they also found Jiang Buku walking towards them. Zhu Furong smiled and waved to greet them loudly.

"We were talking about you, but we thought the journey was too far and you miscalculated the departure time." Zhu Furong said.

When Li Wanyue and Liu Jing saw him, they looked at his head in unison: "Why do you have long hair? It would be nice to keep a bald head." They seemed quite regretful.

Before the exam, Jiang Buku didn't let himself be distracted. All his thoughts were on cultivation and study. After passing the exam, he lived in the mountains for more than a month. Coupled with the epiphany the day before yesterday, his mind was brisk and lively. A lot, no longer as "sluggish" as before.

He took the initiative to respond with a smile: "Did you have a good time in Zhoucheng this holiday?"

Zhu Furong and Li Wanyue looked at each other.

Li Wanyue said: "It's not bad, it's not bad. At the beginning, I spent half a month with those gentlemen and ladies of extraordinary background in the state city, and I did meet some high-level practitioners, but this has nothing to do with us. Let's talk to them." The words didn't catch up.

Later we also realized that they had never had the idea of ​​being equal to us when they made friends with us, and they were simply dating us with the intention of accepting the poor horses, which was meaningless, so we didn't continue to hang out with them. "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I didn't go wandering around the city anymore, and entered the state school early to live. Either practice in the dormitory, or go to the collection hall, training hall, and wait for the school to start."

Zhu Furong also echoed beside him: "If I knew this, I would have gone back on the spaceship with you.

I haven't been back for so long, and now I can't leave after school starts, but I miss it so much.

We also received a letter from our family, and I heard that the county had prepared a grand welcome ceremony for us, as well as a lot of spirit beads as rewards. "

Having said that, he had a look of regret.

Not only him, but the others also had regrets on their faces.

Looking at Jiang Buku, they couldn't hide their envy. Since they already knew the spirit stone rewards that the county originally prepared for all of them, they naturally knew that these were all cheap for Jiang Buku in the end.

Although it is not jealous, after all the choice is made by oneself, but there is still some jealousy.

Hearing their experience of this holiday, Jiang Buku didn't say anything, and hearing Zhu Furong's regretful words, he just kept a faint smile.

His behavior is actually easy to be annoying, but several people know his nature, seeing his reaction, on the contrary, there is a kind of intimacy brought by familiarity.

Zhu Furong hooked his shoulders and asked, "Didn't you notice how many people are missing here?"

Jiang Buku nodded.

Luo Xuansheng, Zheng Zhi, and Qu Ling are not here.

Zhu Furong said mysteriously: "Do you know why they are not with us?"

From Zhu Furong's mouth, Jiang Buku also knew what happened to the other three.

Luo Xuansheng and a girl from a cultivating family fell in love with each other.

"The generation of the girl's great-grandfather produced a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm, and other than him, although there are some talented people in the younger generation, the one with the highest achievement is now only at the Purple Mansion Realm, and it is enough to break through the low-grade Golden Core kind of.

Although Luo Xuansheng did not enter the top [-] of the gold list, he was barely able to enter the top [-] in terms of cultivation. She took the initiative to ask her to go out and spend a few days in private, and even met with her elders. When we decided to return early He went to live in someone's house instead of the school dormitory. "

"Although I didn't say it clearly, the meaning in it is obvious, isn't it? If someone builds a ladder for him, he will support someone's platform in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhu Furong curled his lips, quite sourly, as if to say, I am no worse than that guy in terms of cultivation, why didn't you choose me?

Jiang Buku was also a little surprised by Luo Xuansheng's pragmatic choice, but it made sense after thinking about it.

Practitioners who established families in Zhoucheng, no matter how good or bad their development is, regardless of their generally higher level of cultivation, for those of them who have come from small county towns or even small mountain villages, the various contacts they have established over the long years , relationship network, and even knowledge of the entire practice world are extremely valuable assets.

One side needs fresh and talented blood, and the other side needs such a ladder that can quickly integrate into higher-level circles.

For people like Luo Xuansheng, the more practical benefit is that since they have fallen in love with him, they will regard him as a "stand up front" for the family in the future, and then they will naturally spare no effort in cultivating him, and even do their best. Yes, let him grow up faster.

And this is precisely what they themselves desire most, to grow faster and more effectively while they are young, to go further and sprint to a higher level, even if they lose part of their freedom because of this, they are bound to a practice family.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, freedom is above all else, and it is absolutely impossible to bind themselves to an irrelevant family for this small gain;

But there is also another opposite idea, that freedom that cannot be withdrawn is worthless.

This is a bastard looking at mung beans, you love me.

Achieve each other and complement each other.

As for those cultivating families who are neither high nor low in Zhoucheng, they look down on those who perform too well, and they look down on those who perform too mediocrely, and those at the level of Luo Xuansheng and Zhu Furong are just right.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhu Furong, who had gained a lot of weight, and thought, maybe this is the reason why he was not favored by others, and he also understood his somewhat sour psychology.

"What about Zheng Zhi and Qu Ling, are they also the same as Luo Xuansheng?" Jiang Buku couldn't help asking.

This time it was Li Wanyue who answered.

"It is indeed similar to him, but the specifics are still somewhat different.

They met with a pair of cousins, they were all pretty good, polite and educated, and their family situation was much better than the one selected by Luo Xuansheng.

There are more than two practitioners in Jindan Realm, and various industries are also very rich. There are several powerful companies in Suizhou under their names.

It has now been agreed that they are officially unmarried couples, and once they reach the marriageable age, they will receive a marriage certificate, and there will be no shortage of resources and treatment in all aspects.

With their aptitude, as long as they don't lose their minds, they will be very easy before the Purple Mansion Realm. "

It was amazing, not only Jiang Buku, but everyone present could hear the hidden meaning in her words, and the emphasis was on the unspoken sentence.

"It will be easy before the purple mansion", but after the purple mansion, it will become very difficult.

Because the help that external resources can give practitioners is basically concentrated on the "accumulation" improvement, and the improvement of comprehension depends on the practitioner himself. The higher the realm, the higher the demand, and there is no firm heart towards the Tao. Without a clear direction to seek the Tao, it is not easy to understand and improve.

And when they made this choice, they actually already had the answer in their hearts, and they must have thought very thoroughly about it.

They knew that although their cultivation aptitudes were good, they would not be able to reach the top, so they simply chose the easiest way to live from the beginning.

Rather than exploring alone on the long road of practice, they are more eager for a worldly and happy life.

It's a choice they make themselves.

Having a certain talent for practice, which can be called a genius compared to ordinary people, and whether to pursue the ultimate goal of the Tao are two different things.

Then, from several people, Jiang Buku also learned that such a choice is not an isolated case, and many freshmen from other places have also faced similar choices.

This has even become a "custom", a bit similar to the ancient style of catching a son-in-law under the list.

Jiang Buku didn't judge right or wrong, everyone was only responsible for their own choices.

He just sighed secretly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, before school officially started, in less than two months, there would be so many fewer "fellow travelers" on the road of practice.

He sincerely hoped that there would be more companions and follow him longer.

In the communication with them, Jiang Buku also made up some common sense that was lacking without official reports.

First, there are no liberal arts programs.

If you want to know what to study, go to the book yourself.

Secondly, these freshmen are not divided into classes.

There will be different sermons and public courses, and students can choose whether to attend the lectures according to their own needs.

There are those that are suitable for all practitioners to listen to, and there are also those for refining tools, alchemy, and talisman making.

"This situation will last for four years, up to five years. If we fail to break through to the purple mansion, we will be forced to graduate, and we will be issued a certificate of completion from the state school.

And if you can break through to the purple mansion, you can study in school for another four years. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Furong's expression was serious. Breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm in four years, at most five years, was not an easy task for him.

And only in the state school can such a plan be made. If he loses the platform of the state school and let him study it by himself, the time may be extended several times or even ten times.

From Jiang Buku’s point of view, they are now enrolled as undergraduates. The school will give them four years and at most five years to complete their “undergraduate” studies. If they are able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, they can stay in the school for another four years. , then where to go back and forth.

"For us, the two most important places in our school are the practice room and the Yin Sha Cave. This is also the key to determine where we will go in four or five years!"

"Before that special blessed land was developed, the training room already existed, but at that time, the training room was only equipped with a more exquisite spirit-gathering circle, which made the aura in the training room more intense, and even allowed a certain degree of attribute Sorting to achieve the purpose of accelerating cultivation.

But now, these training rooms are connected to a special blessed place. In addition to the extremely rich spiritual energy, there is also a steady stream of life breath injected into it, which can further accelerate our cultivation.

The efficiency of cultivation in it is no worse than the half month we were in Xiulin Water Mansion that day. "

"The practice rooms are so precious and limited in number that they cannot be opened to everyone.

The school's method is to give more opportunities to outstanding people, making them more outstanding, and making mediocre and unprogressive people more mediocre. "

"The method of judging mediocrity and excellence, of course, will not make everyone fight every day. The key lies in the Yin Sha Cave."

"The Yin Sha Cave is a natural burrow. Just inside the mountainside of our school, there is a cold and evil energy gushing out from the depths of the ground. It was channeled by people in a special way, forming the current Yin Sha Cave. It is a student. It is the best training place, and our performance there will determine the time limit for us to use it in the training room."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Buku realized even more how valuable the hidden welfare that Senior Sister Tang had won for him was.

The right to use one day per month is 48 days in four years, but only [-] days in Xiulin Water Mansion, what an amazing change it brought to him and everyone else.

Coupled with four years of self-cultivation, if you can't advance to the Purple Mansion Realm, then it really can't be justified.

Leaving aside his sudden genius performance this time, Senior Sister Tang's actions gave him a complete picture.

And for their class, there is a new opportunity.

He looked at several people and asked, "You all know about the establishment of comprehensive special colleges, right?"

Li Wanyue said: "I've heard what Fatty Zhu said, but he likes to exaggerate... Could it be that the situation is really as he said?"

She leaned over inquiringly.

Jiang Buku nodded.

Li Wanyue took a deep breath, looked at the few people around, and said, "Then, let's all try our best, now that there are fewer and fewer companions, I just hope that none of us will fall behind again."

Zhu Furong, Liu Jing, and Wang Xue nodded heavily.

Jiang Buku also nodded.

……

After communicating with them, Jiang Buku returned to the residence again and entered the state of practice.

The cultivation base has just broken through the foundation building stage, and there are really too many things that need to be re-mastered and re-familiarized.

For him, not only does he need to have a comprehensive re-understanding of himself, but he also needs to update his understanding of the world. As he moves from Qi training state to foundation building state, he clearly feels that the world in his eyes has become different.

Compared with the present, the "pixels" of the previous world were too low. It should be said that his various perceptions were too dull. Sound, color, smell, taste, and touch all had a comprehensive improvement, and he was more able to see To the colorfulness of the world.

But sometimes, this will also bring him troubles, because he is too sensitive to the perception of the world. A gust of wind, a stream of water, and a cluster of rustling leaves can all give him a violent "shock" , On the one hand, he needs to adapt to this new change, on the other hand, he must also learn to control and turn passive into active, so as to maintain this overall optimization without causing trouble to himself.

It takes time to get used to.

late at night.

According to the usual practice, Jiang Buku went to sleep early.

Soon, he found himself on a tower.

Looking at the surrounding scene, although the architectural pattern of the city behind him is different, and the structure of the city wall is also different, but the overall atmosphere is still that of a beast rushing into the city.

And he was sitting around the tower in the center of the city wall with sixteen other people.

Sitting in the central seat is an old man with a broken arm. Although his arm is broken, he is full of energy, with a high-spirited spirit in his brows.

He spoke loudly, and said: "You are the strongest combat force in our base city, the last line of defense and backing. I want to be in charge of the central army to dispatch the entire defense area, so I will trouble you to garrison everywhere. We must not let the beast horde enter. Inside the base city."

Then, like a cutscene, he was arranged to go to an area, and twenty experts who were comparable to the mid-to-late stages of Qi training were dispatched to him as the last insurance for that area of ​​defense.

Then, the beast tide rushed to the city.

He had experienced a similar scene in the dream of the past and the past before. At that time, he felt that the scale of the beast horde was overwhelming, but compared with the scene in front of him, he seemed to be nothing compared to the scene in front of him.

Among them, many ferocious beasts have grown in size and momentum, and have become stronger.

However, on the other hand, the "fangs" exposed by humans are also sharper and more deadly.

When the beast horde invaded to a distance of 500 meters from the city wall, an overwhelming counterattack had already been launched.

The limit effective killing distance has increased by a full 500 meters from the 1000 meters that time.

"This beast tide should have occurred after the growth of the planet. The strength of both humans and beasts has been further improved."
