Chapter 0004: The Mysterious Totem
The personnel have nearly completed their tasks, and we are ready to take action
Bai Mengying and Xiang Yang are actually standing together, which is big news. I have heard that Xiang Yang has been pursuing Bai Mengying all along. They are both geniuses from our college, and it is a certainty that they will enter a higher institution in the future. They might even qualify to enter Huaxia Academy
Even Su Yan could feel that his physical potential was being unlocked under the cleansing of this extremely pure source energy of heaven and earth
My goodness, what kind of treasure is this
The possibility is very high
It broke, I almost forgot
Gao Hua was taken aback by the situation. Who is Jared? He is one of the most outstanding martial artists in the academy, known for his volatile temper. Yet now he is being so deferential. What on earth is the background of these people?
Bai Mengying gazed at the fleeing Su Yan with sorrowful eyes, whispering to herself: "I have been defeated by you a total of eight times. We had agreed that I would return to compete for the ninth time. How much longer must I wait? Can't you let me win just once..."
Out of politeness, Su Yan still went to greet them, but as soon as he stepped into the small garden, the dragon totem unexpectedly began to riot again
Su Yan was both surprised and delighted. He pushed the door open and walked out, thinking that the quickest way to replenish his vital energy was to eat.
Have you heard? Some representatives from Huaxia City Higher Education Institute visited our college and even plan to reserve a batch of seeds, allowing direct entry into the higher education institute without the need for assessments
Su Yan took a deep breath, his face filled with excitement, making it difficult for him to calm down
Calm down, calm down
Jade's face was contorted with rage, and the glorious image of the Ice and Snow Academy was utterly tarnished by them, in the dead of night...! ... What a disgrace!
Awful
Currently, Su Yan's vital essence is insufficient, and his energy channels are weak. This is the consequence of breaking through the original limits of life without any nutritional supplementation
Su Yan felt a surge of vitality throughout his weak body, as if he had consumed a powerful tonic. In that moment, his previously frail physique was instantly revitalized in part.
A group of people was stunned, as there was actually someone hiding in the lake
How powerful this is
However, there is one exception that is likely to become a blemish in his teaching history, which is that the worst awakened one in this major examination is about to appear in his class
Money, it is truly a headache, where can I get money to buy meat to eat
Hmm?
I would like to see what you intend to do
Su Yan did not want to revert to his original form, but the Dragon Totem began to act up very disobediently, radiating an intense heat that made Su Yan feel as if his arm was about to melt
First, regarding ordinary grains, they are relatively expensive. Currently, the territory of the Huaxia Alliance is not large, and there are very few places for food cultivation, which has resulted in the high cost of grains. Not to mention meat, which ordinary families simply cannot afford
Su Yan stealthily approached, his gaze penetrating through the grass. In the moonlight, he saw a girl who was nearly stripped bare, her expanse of snow-white skin exposed, causing Su Yan's heart to beat uncontrollably.
Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone cracking and a girl's scream, the couple hidden in the grass was terrified to the core; it was the sound of a beast, a wild animal had actually intruded into the small garden
Su Yan was unaware of how strong he had become. Although most of his energy had been stolen by the dragon totem, the remaining energy was sufficient for Su Yan to grow stronger
Su Yan's mouth was about to split from ear to ear, laughing heartily. He had encountered this situation many times before. He still remembered when he was in college, he had pretended to be a ghost to scare the young men and women looking for excitement in the park
What kind of treasure is this
Bai Mengying frowned, feeling very displeased with Xiang Yang's words. However, thinking of Su Yan's future life of mediocrity made her heart ache, and she felt it was not worth it for him.
Powerful yet lacking in spirit
The Ninth Base also has ten academies. At the entrance of the Ice and Snow Academy, a group of teachers stands respectfully beneath the statue of the War God Zuyan, welcoming the esteemed guests who are arriving
This is ... ...
At this point, Jared's gloomy expression improved somewhat, as there were powerful figures from Huaxia Academy coming to inspect Ice and Snow Academy in the afternoon, and he was one of the greeters
"Teacher Jade, today really opened our eyes," an old man joked about Jade, which nearly made Jade lose his temper, yet he still forced a smile and said, "Cough, young people, the pressure of learning is too great, it is understandable"
His voice erupted with a resounding roar, akin to a raging bull bellowing, ready to tear apart the heavens and the earth
Is it going to break? Poor fellow, I pray for you on behalf of the moon
As night fell, the entire Base Nine fell silent
Su Yan hid here to watch for a while, and at the moment when the hurried gasping sounds appeared, Su Yan shouted hoarsely: "Moo...!"
And what is a piece of jade worth?
Not good, someone is coming
Su Yan's heart also grew solemn; something was amiss. When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something unusual at play. However, after a moment's thought, he shook his head and said, "It seems I can only come back tonight to see what secrets the Dragon Totem holds"
Su Yan's entire body seemed to transform into a furnace, burning intensely, with an astonishing rate of absorption. Suddenly, a stream of white silk flowed out from the precious jade, merging into Su Yan's mouth
According to legend, the dragon clan loves to collect various treasures, guarding an array of sparkling gems every day
The new world is wonderful, with a sky free of pollution
Su Yan dove swiftly downwards; the lake was not large, and he soon reached the bottom
Su Yan circled around the artificial lake and concluded that this was the place. As long as he stayed away from the artificial lake, the temperature of the dragon totem would decrease
Su Yan raised his palm to touch it. Although his energy meridians were indeed very weak, the strength was surprisingly great. However, as soon as he touched the cracked stone, the stone skin quickly fell away, resembling a beautiful woman shedding her clothes, revealing itself before Su Yan's eyes
The young girl gazed at Su Yan, her figure voluptuous and graceful, with long, lustrous black hair cascading over her shoulders. She appeared to be of a similar age to Su Yan, and even in her loose-fitting, snow-white training attire, her proud body contours were evident, showcasing a captivating silhouette.
A gentle voice suddenly emerged, carrying a hint of hesitation, and these two words caught the attention of several couples on their dates in the small garden
The guy who just fled in a panic was Su Yan, who used to be the senior brother of the academy. Unfortunately, Su Yan's current strength is too weak, and he probably knows the gap between you two, lacking the courage to stand alongside you. " Xiang Yang caught up and said with a smile, not considering Su Yan as a competitor at all
The energy contained within this stone left Su Yan in shock. He stared at the stone, contemplated for a moment, and then suddenly gripped it tightly. Contrary to his expectations, the energy contained within the precious jade was beyond Su Yan's ability to harness.
Bai Mengying
Su Yan was taken aback; he was currently troubled by how to restore his physical weakness. However, the divine energy contained within this precious jade unexpectedly played such a significant role.
Su Yan, feeling indignant, quickly left the small garden, fearing that the dragon totem might cause some commotion and attract the attention of those with ulterior motives
Su Yan keenly noticed that the light emitted by the dragon totem fell upon a large stone that was entirely black.
Su Yan quickly opened the cultivation manual, which clearly stated that while humans can continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth, it accelerates the awakening process
Su Yan stroked the faint dragon pattern on his arm, noticing that it had become somewhat brighter than a few days ago. Could it be because it had absorbed the energy from my cultivation? But what secret does it truly conceal?
Breaking the original limits of life also requires the appropriate vitality! Su Yan decided to go out in search of ways to replenish his energy and blood.
Su Yan was filled with indignation, harboring both love and hate for the Dragon Totem
I have been too eager in my cultivation, and now I am in trouble. This also indicates that the initial scripture is too powerful
Teacher Jade and others sighed, unable to retain them, as the prominent figures of Huaxia Academy nodded in agreement
From a young age, the exceptionally gifted Bai Mengying has suffered a total of eight consecutive defeats to Su Yan, a fact that is difficult for her to accept due to her stubborn nature
At the mere thought of an inspection, Jiad's face turned ashen; he was responsible for a martial arts class consisting of more than 100 awakened individuals
In a moment of realization, Su Yan recalled Mount Everest. Back then, as he approached Mount Everest, his blood was boiling. Is the dragon totem now also guiding something?
Su Yan, feeling frustrated, slapped his forehead. Perhaps he had acted too convincingly just now, attracting some people to investigate. An intruding beast on campus is not a trivial matter
Tsk tsk, this is to poach talent. Our college has quite a few geniuses, and they will surely be snatched away in advance, even with promises of generous benefits.
It would have been one thing to bump into the students, but to collide with a teacher was another matter entirely. Gao Hua felt an overwhelming urge to find a block of tofu and end it all.
At the moment of swallowing, he trembled all over, and his bones resonated in unison
I sincerely apologize, but I have to leave for another matter
In the small garden, the gazes of the young man and woman on their date were fixed on her; she was indeed a prominent figure at the academy and the second person to be granted the status of core member. Some people secretly referred to her as the senior sister.
However, during the process of awakening, there is a lack of vital energy to support a powerful physical body
It is she
Roar
All the streets are deserted, and every household has its doors tightly shut. No one has forgotten the terrifying beast tide that erupted three years ago, which nearly tore apart the entire Ninth Base
A student with a very powerful aura caught up, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old named Xiangyang, who was tall and imposing, with a face like jade and an aloof demeanor, a remarkable figure at the Ice and Snow Academy
Su Yan lay hidden in the small lake, not daring to make a sound, preparing to come up after they had left
Su Yan had no doubt; he could feel his own weakness, just like a strongman who would starve to death after several days and nights without food. During these seven days and nights, Su Yan had unlocked too much potential, and his physical body had not received the replenishment of vital blood, lacking in nutrition
At this moment, Su Yan's expression changed dramatically, and the dragon totem on his arm shed strands of golden divine mist, appearing extraordinarily mystical in the lake.
When Su Yan stood up, he almost fell to the ground, which left him astonished. Clearly, he had become stronger, so how could he feel so weak
The wilderness at night is extremely perilous, with wild beasts lurking and the stench of blood permeating the air, as lantern-like, menacing eyes fixate on the vast base
It seems to be guiding Su Yan
Su Yan was so excited that he could hardly express it, his lips once again stretching to the roots of his ears, laughing silently
When they saw the woman who spoke up, some students appeared invigorated, their eyes shining brightly, causing their female companions nearby to turn pale.
Su Yan opened his eyes, feeling extremely fatigued. He touched his belly and swallowed, experiencing an urge to devour a whole roasted cow
Su Yan could sense that within the jade, there was a profound and powerful source of vital energy
Roar
Primarily, Bai Mengying has a very kind heart, often helping some students awaken their potential, generously sharing her experiences, and as a result, most students have great faith in her
Although he is in the water, with Su Yan's current strength, holding his breath for a while is not a significant issue
Some people have come near the artificial lake, most of whom are teachers from the college
People can be so competitive that it can be quite disheartening; it is rumored that Xiangyang now possesses the strength of 100 horses, even teachers cannot rival him
Su Yan left the dormitory area, gazing at the azure sky. Unable to restrain himself, he stretched lazily, breathing in the fresh air, and much of the fatigue on his body dissipated.
Why do you always avoid me
Su Yan found the memories of Bai Mengying in his recollections. Three years ago, they often practiced together, and the memories left by the young girl were quite profound. He still clearly remembers that he defeated Bai Mengying multiple times, yet she stubbornly got up again and again, wanting to duel with him. At that time, Bai Mengying was still very young.
Su Yan
To supplement the awakened one's essence, various precious meats from mutated beasts are required; however, these items come at an exorbitant price, making them unaffordable for ordinary families
The entire population of Base Nine exceeds thirty million, with military forces stationed at all major checkpoints.
The lake water is very cool, making Su Yan's mind even clearer
As the moment approached the lake, Su Yan's arms felt as if they were on fire. He grimaced, his gaze fixed on the shimmering little lake, an artificial body of water shrouded in mist.
Su Yan's expression changed dramatically, and a sudden surge of heat radiated from his arm, growing increasingly intense. A sharp pain shot through him, and he thought irritably, "I'm already in this state, do you still want to absorb the energy within me? Damn dragon totem, don't mess around!"
Su Yan heard a great deal of noise, with faint words related to beasts.
Suddenly, he noticed that the dragon totem had quieted down and was no longer radiating divine light.
The thought that Su Yan is a core member nominated by the dean, and only the dean has the authority to expel him, made Jared feel a headache.
There is someone
What is this stone
Radiating brilliance, entirely milky white, Su Yan was astonished; he had never encountered such exquisite jade, and it was even natural, without a trace of impurity, like a piece of natural gem, shimmering brightly, illuminating the lake water with extraordinary splendor
Hahaha, I have sent it!
A very stubborn girl who also has a kind heart
Walking along the cobblestone path, Su Yan was alone, dressed in a black training outfit, his silhouette appearing somewhat solitary
In the wilderness area, fierce roars of beasts echo continuously, and one can faintly see powerful wild animals on the mountains, howling at the moon and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon
If Su Yan were to know about Jia De's thoughts, he would probably be so enraged that he would spit blood
"It really is you." Bai Mengying's eyes sparkled with joy as she walked towards Su Yan, her steps graceful and her black hair flowing.
Su Yan forced a smile, for he was utterly destitute. He had originally thought that by cultivating his skills, he could enhance his strength and survive in this society. However, he never expected that his very life would now be in jeopardy.
Su Yan's heart trembled, and he quickly tucked the jade pendant close to him. Fortunately, its emitted light was not strong, and his clothing could conceal it.
Su Yan let out a sigh of relief, feeling that it was about time, and he moved upstream
However, when they saw Bai Mengying standing beside Xiangyang, they all felt envious
In the small garden, a couple of pairs of lovers were discussing; who in the entire academy does not know about Xiangyang and Bai Mengying
Su Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he trembled with excitement. What is this? The Dragon Totem can be used to seek treasures, and now he has found a kind of treasure with it!
Is it here
The dragon totem on his arm now possesses the ability to seek treasure, guiding Su Yan in the excavation of valuable items
Is it that I have my period? Long Totem, can you stop causing me trouble? I have been serving you for so long, yet you don't give me any benefits!
As he was about to leave the small garden, the young man dressed in a silver long coat stopped, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and he said arrogantly, "Interesting"
Two pale figures dashed out of the small garden at a terrifying speed, and Su Yan felt a surge of self-reproach as he decisively jumped into the artificial lake
On a tranquil path, a young girl stands gracefully. Her skin is as white as snow, radiantly beautiful. In her eyes, ripples of water dance, and her slender waist is delicate to the touch
Wait a moment
Su Yan had already heard the beast's roar in the dormitory, and couldn't help but exclaim: "For a hundred years, the Huaxia Alliance must have endured a difficult period to survive, and it is still not a time of peace. If this base is breached, Huaxia City will also be unsafe"
What is the situation
Dream Shadow
This time, there were about ten teachers from prestigious institutions, led by a young man dressed in a silver long coat. He had a cold expression and looked down upon the entire scene, also nodding slightly.
Su Yan has returned to the dormitory, and the dragon totem has completely calmed down. However, why did it heat up just now?
However, it is quite strange that as soon as Su Yan left the small garden, Long Totem became quiet
Gone
Jade trembled all over, what a terrifying young man, two silver beams seemed capable of slicing through the vast sky
Su Yan's palms were trembling, this is a priceless treasure, this is a priceless treasure
How could I be so hungry, how long have I been in seclusion
The more Su Yan looked, the more alarmed he became. The records were extremely detailed, indicating that if the vital essence was not replenished for an extended period, one's lifespan would rapidly decrease, and it was very likely that one would not survive for more than a few years
This is the greatest crisis facing humanity, which is why awakening is of utmost importance
Haha. The old man of this prestigious academy shook his head and chuckled, saying: "It is impossible for wild beasts to enter the school; it is likely that someone is playing tricks. Are we really expected to catch them now? Alright, they probably ran away long ago. Let's leave; we arrived a bit late today, so we won't stay any longer."
Even at that time, Bai Mengying had already given up on defeating Su Yan. She was the only one in the entire academy who knew that Su Yan had long been at the peak of awakening, and with a single swing of his arm, he possessed the strength of a hundred horses
Su Yan swallowed hard and said in a daze, "It should be able to sell for quite a bit of money"
"Look, it's Xiangyang!" Some girls screamed, their eyes sparkling with excitement, especially at Xiangyang's aloof yet confident demeanor, which made their hearts race faster
Su Yan almost cursed, quickly leaving this place, but just as he stepped out of the small garden, the dragon totem fell silent again
The large stone has already cracked, and Su Yan is both surprised and delighted; the dragon totem is truly guiding him!
Su Yan looked around and unexpectedly discovered a pair of wild mandarin ducks
I am so hungry
Snap!
Goodness, fortunately, I scared them away; this matter would bring me no benefit if it were to spread.
He is a good student, yet he toiled through the night, diligently studying for a full seven days and seven nights
Many students feel envy and resentment towards those who can directly enter higher education institutions without having to take major exams, enjoying the cultivation of human societal resources. Who does not long for such treatment
Su Yan approached the small garden rapidly. The deeper he went, the higher the temperature emitted by the dragon totem became. Occasionally, when he deviated from certain areas, the temperature of the dragon totem would decrease
Find stimulation | Excite ... ... Then let's give them some stimulation | Excitement
This is the place
How strange, what on earth is going on
Jade and the others were filled with anxiety. The Ice and Snow Academy used to be the top academy of Base Nine, but ever since the dean disappeared three years ago, many teachers have been poached by other academies. As a result, the annual examination admission rate has been at the bottom, and in recent years, not a single student has been admitted to Huaxia Academy.
Moreover, during the process of cultivating the initial scripture, Su Yan's physical potential continued to enhance, and it has not yet been fully realized
Damn dragon totem
Gao Hua's complexion was a mix of green, red, and white, and his female companion was nearly too embarrassed to show her face. Just moments ago, they had rushed out and collided directly with the teachers.
Su Yan was dumbfounded, a stone, a fist-sized stone
Passing by a small garden, the vegetation is lush and vibrant, and there are quite a number of young couples dating within the garden
He has been to the small garden several times, but such a situation has never occurred before. Su Yansi thought to himself: "This is too strange. The initial scripture was given to me by the Dragon Totem; it would not harm me. I will go to the small garden and take a look again later"
Su Yan was anxious, but then his eyes lit up as he directly activated the Initial Sutra, which had an astonishingly rapid absorption speed
Under the astonished gazes of those around, his pupils emitted two beams of silver light, illuminating the dark garden.
The beasts of the world have all grown stronger; to hunt these beasts for edible meat requires the skills of awakened experts
He could not help but exclaim that in the era of the new age, human skin is exceptionally good, and cosmetics have become a thing of the past
Before nightfall, Su Yan had already set out, quickly arriving at the small garden, where the dragon totem once again radiated waves of heat
This waste, I must find a way to get him out. I have endured for twenty years, and now that I finally have a chance to enter a prestigious academy, how can I fail because of this waste? My future cannot be ruined by a useless person.
