Chapter 3 This World
This high opening and low closing approach has also caused Wang Zheng to bear the reputation of being a waste material
Silence, please
With the advent of the new era, the curriculum at the academy has added a course on the identification of ferocious beasts
Wang Zheng's complexion turned pale, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He could guarantee with absolute certainty that this bone pattern had been devoured by his own body. When the bone pattern he had cultivated initially disappeared, it exhibited the same symptoms.
Since it is a centralized class, it is certainly not just Wang Zheng's class; classes from all grades will gather for this lesson. As the most important class, no one dares to skip it, as just one absence results in a serious demerit, and a second absence leads to expulsion from school, which is extremely strict
Holographic technology has long been advanced, allowing students in an entire classroom to feel as if they are in a real environment
When Wang Zheng was newly admitted to Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, he was honored as one of the top ten geniuses, renowned for his solid theoretical knowledge of bone patterns. While being highly anticipated by others, he also appeared exceptionally distinguished, making him a prominent figure at Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy at that time. As the only individual from an ordinary family to be included among the top ten geniuses, Wang Zheng received even more attention than others
How many individuals have emerged from the Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, oh Eight-Duan Warrior
Wang Zheng, who had just let out a slight sigh of relief, suddenly experienced a change in the next moment. Everywhere his eyes looked, there was nothing but a sea of green, with countless symbols appearing in his vision, resembling the 0s and 1s of computer language flashing across a screen
The result is the same; once the bone pattern solidifies, it mysteriously disappears, as if it has been devoured by something.
Strong, too strong
"Zheng Ge, what happened to you?" Sun Qiang, who was beside him, noticed Wang Zheng's unusual behavior
Is it really the case that the facts are like this
God knows what will happen after ossification
On the podium, a robust warrior exuding a fierce aura stood at the front and coldly uttered a single sentence
And now, this kind of omen that appears before the disappearance of the bone pattern during each cultivation has emerged again. Moreover, it does not give Wang Zheng any opportunity; the heat in his palm intensifies. Wang Zheng only feels a surge of frenzied energy rushing into his body from the bottle, as if struck by a tremendous force, causing his complexion to turn ashen, nearly spitting out blood.
Wang Zheng came to his senses from his astonishment and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, I just thought of something." He stood up and pulled Sun Qiang, saying, "Let's go, we're going to be late."
Each participant wears a student ID, which is embedded with a chip and personal NDA information. Whether you are present or if someone else is impersonating you, the sign-in system will clearly identify this, leaving no room for loopholes.
The mysterious restrictions caused Wang Zheng to cough up blood, leading others to label him as a genius among failures, and he momentarily became a laughingstock
During his three years at Nanshan College, Wang Zheng has cultivated a total of eight bone patterns, in addition to one he developed before enrollment, making a total of nine patterns.
Wang Zheng and Sun Qiang ran all the way to the third holographic classroom, where it was already crowded with people
Wang Zheng endured the excruciating pain coursing through his body and handed the bottle containing the bone patterns to Sun Qiang: "It's nothing, just a sudden stomach ache. Bone patterns, haven't you always wanted to get a closer look?"
Hoo ... ...
Zheng Ge, what were you just daydreaming about? Hurry up, it's time for the beast identification class
Originally intending to ask further questions, Sun Qiang was captivated by Wang Zheng's words and eagerly took the small bottle. Naturally, Sun Qiang would not miss this opportunity given his enthusiasm for bone patterns, and upon receiving it, he began to marvel at it.
The Zhu Yan Beast, a level 9 ferocious beast, this scene was filmed in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains The voice of the warrior on the podium pulled the students back from their shock
The atmosphere was incredibly mysterious, yet the heaviness of the air at that moment made it almost suffocating.
Here it comes again
The entire classroom darkened, and then, centered around a point of light, all one thousand students were transported into a vast mountain range. In just over a hundred years, this place had transformed into a primeval forest, with countless towering trees standing tall, rugged peaks rising sharply, all exuding an aura reminiscent of ancient times
Wang Zheng felt anxious inside, staring intently at the bone pattern that was being passed around, fearing that the matter would be exposed
Is it her
Brush!
One minute per person is not a long time
One by one, the former geniuses all possessed their own bone patterns and stepped into the ranks of warriors. Among the top ten geniuses at the time of enrollment, only Wang Zheng was unable to possess a bone pattern. The outcome was unexpected, leaving many puzzled, as they could not fathom the reason behind it.
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Zheng knew that this was an exception that was truly too difficult, far too difficult. Those who were not martial artists of the eighth rank or above should not expect to have any opportunity.
Three months later, Wang Zheng, with unparalleled determination, once again possessed the bone pattern
... ...
However, no one noticed the bone pattern returned by Ma Chunyi, which mysteriously transformed into a pile of bone powder shortly thereafter
Compared to the previous lesson on identifying ferocious beasts, the information conveyed in this session truly instills a sense of crisis
Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy has five large holographic classrooms, and each class on beast identification is held in one of these holographic classrooms
Sun Qiang patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder, a look of confusion on his face
A person with extensive knowledge of bone patterns, yet is a useless individual who cannot cultivate bone patterns
A head of long black hair cascades down, with soft strands at the forehead fluttering in the breeze, tracing elegant arcs in the air. The black hair reflects the pitch-black eyes, resembling glistening obsidian, clear yet imbued with a hint of coldness. The exquisite features and fair complexion resemble ancient jade, flawless and slightly translucent. The thin lips outline a proud curve, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised, revealing a trace of a cold smile.
No microphone is needed, yet this voice reaches the ears of everyone, bringing silence to the entire classroom
Solitary and unapproachable, possessing an extraordinary lineage, it serves as a protective talisman
The humanoid beast passed in front of the camera, as if it had discovered something, its cold and fierce gaze sweeping over the position of the camera
Wang Zhengcai sat down in the aisle and immediately noticed someone sitting next to 871 who made his heart race.
There is a reason for such severity
Upon entering here, the check-in system will automatically assign seats, ensuring that there is no disorder whatsoever
In the midst of the mountains, a colossal shadow emerged, each step seemingly capable of shaking the entire range. As it drew closer, it became apparent that it was a humanoid creature, entirely devoid of hair, covered by a thick layer of scales that emitted a dark azure sheen. In the sunlight, it radiated a fierce and menacing light. It possessed facial features similar to those of a human, yet had three eyes that emitted a sharp and intimidating glow.
Fortunately, among the classmates who passed by one by one, no one noticed anything unusual
In the blink of an eye, this small black dot has transformed into a colossal and fierce bird, sweeping across the sky and stirring up a whirlwind. Its feathers are as black as ink, yet as hard as steel, shining uniformly and exuding a mesmerizing luster. As it approaches, with wings spread wide, it measures approximately two hundred meters in length, emanating an overwhelming presence that looks down upon the world.
Every person born is instilled with this knowledge from a young age
The bone pattern lying in the bottle was no different; Sun Qiang certainly could not notice that the mysterious symbols on the bone pattern had vanished. This small piece of bone pattern resembled nothing more than an ordinary piece of bone.
In the first year, Wang Zheng's theoretical knowledge remained astonishing, yet he was unable to make any significant progress in mastering bone patterns. Ultimately, he fell out of the top ten geniuses in the rankings for the first year, remaining in the top fifty solely due to his grasp of bone pattern knowledge
A sound of shattering was heard, and in the next moment, the image went black and disappeared. The cry that came from an altitude of over a thousand meters was, astonishingly, enough to shatter the camera.
It seems that everything returns to tranquility in the next moment
This vast mountain range is not tranquil; ferocious beasts roar, and their prolonged cries echo from afar, shaking the countless trees in the forest. Countless fallen leaves are dislodged. Among the mountains, one can see ferocious beasts rampaging, some of which are higher-order beasts, producing various sounds that shatter the heavens and the earth, reverberating through the valleys.
Upon thinking of this number, a smile appeared on Ma Chunyi's face. Among the ten classes, this result cannot be said to be the best, but it is at least ranked in the top three, which is quite gratifying.
In a change from the usual routine, male students who are close to her will certainly come up with various reasons to engage in conversation, and Fan Daixuan has long since become accustomed to this
Upon seeing the number assigned to his seat, Wang Zheng said nothing further and directly walked towards his position
Snap
The types of ferocious beasts and the categories that have evolved, as well as their strengths, all of this information has been established at a tremendous cost, piece by piece. Humanity, already in a state of survival crisis, has shared this information, which has also been disseminated to various schools
The students around, eager to approach, could only dare to steal a few glances at Fan Daixuan, thinking of the cold rumors surrounding her
In the entire classroom, each student felt a chilling sensation, as if they were facing a terrifying beast, even though it was merely an image captured by the camera. Nevertheless, the bloodthirsty aura emanating from this humanoid monster made every student feel as if they were being crushed by a mountain, unable to move.
In just a short century, it feels as though one is immersed in a land of antiquity, and the transformation of the runic light particles truly evokes a sense of the incredible
God, even before the bones have formed, already possesses such a perverse aura
Number 871 is somewhat behind
With a focused gaze, Wang Zheng did not think much and directly sat down beside Fan Daixuan. He merely nodded politely, took the holographic glasses, put them on, and comfortably leaned back in his chair, looking towards the front of the classroom.
... ...
Indeed, this is the universally recognized school beauty of Nanshan High School, known by the nickname 'Cold Beauty', Fan Daixuan
One by one, the classmates passed it along, and as Wang Zheng gazed at the small bottle that was being passed around, his eyes were filled with fervor
The duration of a class is not long. After the class ended, Ma Chunyi retrieved the bottle containing the bone patterns and then announced the conclusion of the class
With such powerful beasts, can humanity still protect this last remaining space for survival
The beginning is stunning, but the process... is truly astonishing.
The course on the identification of ferocious beasts is also one of the core courses offered in various schools
Moments later, it was delivered into Wang Zheng's hands
Fast, beyond imagination
Humanity is under the threat of ferocious beasts, constantly facing a survival crisis, and can be said to be surviving in a narrow margin. In this situation, everyone needs to recognize the ferocious beasts; otherwise, when confronted with them in the future, mistaking Li Kui for Li Gui will only lead to death.
Unless ... ...
Among the most remarkable talents in the senior high school division of Nanshan Bone Pattern Academy, Wang Zheng holds a prominent position
Wang Zheng had not yet had the chance to appreciate it, yet he felt a warmth radiating from the palm of his hand, as if it were about to be roasted.
This is a bottle made through a special craft, and within it lies a bone the size of a fingernail, quietly resting. Through the glass bottle, one can clearly see a faint reddish mark on this small piece of bone, which is subtly appearing and disappearing. This is a piece of the lowest grade of bone pattern, yet it is not something Wang Zheng can possess at this moment
Fan Daixuan's personality carries an air of aloofness, with an innate chill that keeps others at bay. She does not consider whether Wang Zheng is trying to attract her; after putting on the holographic glasses, she remains indifferent, completely unconcerned about how the outside world perceives her.
Upon the return, the administrator did not take a closer look; he merely glanced at it, saw that the bone pattern was intact, and completed the registration before placing it back in its original position. However, the administrator smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Professor Ma, judging by your complexion today, it seems that the results in three months will surely be a pleasant surprise."
A faint halo appeared, and a bone pattern emerged.
Haha, it's just average, they still need more guidance to prevent them from becoming arrogant or impetuous. Upon hearing the administrator's praise, Ma Chunyi's face blossomed with joy.
At least fifteen individuals have the capability to graduate
Wang Zheng had a hint of a bitter smile in his eyes. Even before enrolling in Nanshan Academy, he had already cultivated his first bone pattern. However, this bone pattern, which had just appeared, mysteriously vanished, as if the bone pattern that had manifested on his fingertip was merely a dream
Returning to the Bone Pattern Research Institute, the bone patterns that were applied for are merely of the lowest grade, yet they still need to be returned, as this is the regulation
The definition of the Kunpeng bird has always been a subject of controversy at the Bone Pattern Research Institute, with no conclusion reached on whether it should be classified as Level 10 or Level 11. The words of the martial artist on the podium elicited a gasp from the audience. Level 10 is already sufficient to devastate the heavens and split the earth; the existence of Level 11 is merely theoretical. What kind of concept would it represent if it were truly Level 11
Moments later, Ma Chunyi departed, and the administrator immersed himself in the smart terminal, returning the place to tranquility
As a passionate young man, Wang Zheng, like countless other students, harbored a secret crush on the campus beauty. However, Wang Zheng was more self-aware; he understood that someone like him could never aspire to be with her, as there was a vast chasm between their social standings.
However, this boy in front of me merely glanced at me, then sat down, without any further actions or words
I do not know what level of ferocious beast this is
Fan Daixuan is simply not at a level that I can reach; in the eyes of the other party, I am merely a poor boy
At this moment, all the beasts have long been in hiding, not daring to make even the slightest sound.
The humanoid beast cast a disdainful glance, and as the ground trembled and the camera shook, it gradually receded, disappearing into the vast mountain range
The students have yet to digest the sense of unease brought about by the Zhu Yan beast. In the scene, a small black dot appears in the distant sky, and a piercing bird call seems to descend from the heavens, reverberating through the entire forest below, causing leaves to fall in layers.
It seems that a camera has been discovered again, as this fierce bird from high above suddenly raised its head slightly and emitted a sharp cry that pierced through the void.
In the second year, Wang Zheng's theoretical knowledge was equally unmatched, yet, like in the first year, he was unable to master the bone patterns, as if there was an insurmountable barrier between the bone patterns and Wang Zheng
The warrior nodded slightly, signaling the assistant beside him to begin
Without ossification, one possesses such hard scales
On its head, it drags five soft flesh braids that resemble plaits, swaying as it moves, seemingly dancing with the wind
Wang Zheng was taken aback, not knowing why, but whenever he came into contact with the bone pattern, his body would exhibit a peculiar reaction, as if there were some kind of force trying to devour this piece of bone pattern. This reaction was so intense.
