With the day’s faculty session finish got here a uncommon second of calmness over the campus. Alongside a small path above the shade of the timber flew cheerful laughter and dialog. A number of luxurious non-public shuttles slowly descended from the air as dad and mom arrived to choose up their kids. There have been additionally a number of college students like Li Yao, who dragged their weary our bodies alongside, slowly strolling in the direction of the varsity gate.

Simply as he was about to exit the varsity gate, Li Yao all of the sudden felt his physique tighten up. A tall silhouette obstructed the trail in entrance of him, “You’re referred to as Li Yao? Was it you who was with Si Jia Xue only a second in the past?”

Li Yao’s eyes all of the sudden shrank again into their sockets. He felt like ten-thousand needles had stabbed into his complete physique. His coronary heart price sped up in a flash. A chill unfold from his tailbone and rushed as much as the highest of his cranium. The stress exuded by this particular person was too nice. He was like a toxic viper staring fixated at a mouse. Li Yao was completely unable to maneuver a single step. Even swallowing some saliva grew to become incomparably troublesome.

“It’s He Lianlie! Its Crimson Nimbus Second’s primary professional, He Lianlie! This time I’m finished for!” Li Yao shrieked in his coronary heart. He meant to elucidate himself, however he was unable to talk even half a phrase.

He Lianlie stood casually and wantonly. A crystal processor was clasped in his proper hand and was immersed in calculating by means of a set of relevant examination questions, in no way wanting instantly at Li Yao within the eyes. He mentioned with out a lot thought, “No must be afraid. I clearly know that together with your sort of trash, it’s unattainable so that you can have one thing with Small Xue. I’ll overlook it this one time. I don’t really feel like cleansing you up.”

His finger tapped a hologram flippantly, switching to the following query. He Lianlie continued talking, “However, proper now it’s the pressing and demanding second — the ‘Hundred-day Dash’. Small Xue and I are the individuals who will assault for first place in Floating Spear Metropolis’s college entrance exams. I hope that in this timeframe, there received’t be any sketchy rubbish disturbing Small Xue, distracting her. Do you perceive but?”

Li Yao’s eyes squinted into slits as he firmly bit down his tooth, “You’re saying I’m trash?”

He Lianlie didn’t even carry his head as he mentioned indifferently, “Don’t be mistaken, I’m not particularly concentrating on you. From my perspective, you bunch of mishmash Widespread Class college students, each one in all you — are trash!”

After he mentioned his final phrase, he lastly raised his head and swept a look at Li Yao.

Only a single look brought on Li Yao to really feel just like the pits of his abdomen had been ferociously hit by large hammer. It was insufferable. He fell again two steps and coughed violently.

He Lianlie snorted coldly. Disdain stuffed his face as he turned and left.

Li Yao was bending over coughing, wanting like a large shrimp, and even coughed up his tears. A very long time handed earlier than he was capable of stand straight. He breathed closely and glared unwaveringly in the direction of the path of He Lianlie’s departure.

“DAMN IT!”

“Don’t inform me that in nowadays, all one wants is to be tall and lofty, to be daring and highly effective, to be good-looking and trendy, to be assured and relaxed, to have skinny eyebrows and starry eyes, to be born to a wealthy and highly effective family with a internet value of 18 billion, to own an exceedingly highly effective expertise for cultivation and unyielding power of a tyrant — then one might be this boastful?”

……

Half an hour later.

“Fortunate fortunate, certainly this time luck has introduced me to grandma’s home. For the sake of repairing Si Jiaxue’s crystal processor, I truly offended He Lianlie! If I had recognized issues would end up this manner, I completely would have elevated my value. Solely a minimal of 200,000 credit would have been value it!”

“Additionally, there’s He Lianlie. This. Son. Of. A. B*tch. Armed with the facility of cash, he consumes heavenly supplies and earthly treasures as in the event that they had been meals. He drinks strengthening medicine as in the event that they had been faucet water. He additionally has underground cultivator consultants serving to him strengthen his thoughts. Nice martial arts masters assist him forge his physique. Solely then may he elevate his Actualization Quotient to over 70 p.c. Surprisingly, he’s this boastful! Trash? I’m not trash! The day will come. I’ll turn out to be a real Grasp Artificer. I’ll beat you right into a pig’s head and stuff you in a trash can!”

A lone youth walked solitarily on the highway residence. His expression was similar to a satan’s as he gnashed his tooth in anger. Sometimes, when he occurred onto a small rock by the highway, he would ferociously kick it flying.

The looks of He Lianlie brought on him to obviously perceive the space between him and a cultivator genius, and positive sufficient, the hole was extraordinarily massive. It brought on him to grasp that the possibility of success of his dream of “testing into the 9 Elite Universities, stepping onto the highway of cultivation, and turning into a Grasp Artificer” had been nonetheless unsure.

A scene that he noticed time and again in his uncanny goals emerged within the sea of Li Yao’s thoughts. It seemed to be a scene from a film.

There was a youth carrying a crimson tank-top. With raised eyebrows and open-wide eyes, he spoke loudly, “If we don’t have any goals in life, how are we completely different from salted fish!?”

From the previous till now, this scene would encourage Li Yao deeply. It let him advance bravely on the highway of his goals with none worry.

It was solely presently that he lastly recalled the remainder of his dream. What the opposite particular person’s response was when the red-tank-top youth had completed his phrases was:

“You don’t even have sneakers. Doesn’t that make you a salted fish?”

Li Yao stood mounted as he subconsciously appeared down at his pair of ft.

What he wore was a pair of primary train sneakers picked up from the rubbish heap. Usually, he cultivated like mad, so his sneakers had been overworn way back. Not solely was the only’s engraving worn away, even a gap was rubbed into the tip of the left shoe, exposing a giant soiled toe.

He thought again to a second in the past when he noticed the sneakers He Lianlie wore. It was a pair of the latest mannequin of the cultivating sneakers, “SuperStar G-9”. They had been handcrafted and refined utilizing the hardest and most sturdy hides of fiend beasts. Scales had been connected to the outside, growing the damage resistance by a big diploma.

It was mentioned that the only is made from two layers, and in between was a cushion of air refined from the swim bladder of the deep sea satan fish. Not solely does it enhance leaping energy, it additionally protects one’s leg joints. The value of this mere pair of sneakers runs a number of tens of hundreds of credit!

On this entrance examination battlefield the place mighty forces had been displayed and the place just one can reign on high, there have been nonetheless numerous college students of wealthy and highly effective households similar to He Lianlie, all carrying SuperStar G-9s and consuming infinite assets!

For himself, a poor youth possessing nothing, how may he be able to suppressing and rising above these folks within the merciless blood-filled area of battle? How can he understand his dream?

Li Yao’s coronary heart was above all at a loss, and his steps turned significantly heavy as effectively. The highway forward appeared to be lengthy — fairly lengthy.

Night time fell and the night lamps lit up. He had lastly made it to the principle district.

Forward was a big crystal bridge. If he crossed over the high-speed crystal rail tracks and went by means of the culvert below the bridge, he would discover himself in Morning Solar Village’s residential space.

This was the suburbs; it was comparatively barren with only a few folks coming and going.

Proper when Li Yao was about to undergo the culvert, he all of the sudden heard a piercing explosion from the facet of his ear. All he may see was a radiating glow throughout. A crystal practice was crossing the bridge.

Li Yao all of the sudden stood mounted and rubbed his eyes, wanting in the direction of the bridge.

Within the prompt the flash of sunshine shot out a second in the past, he made out a picture. There was an individual standing on high of the bridge!

This was most likely the rail line bridge’s professional railway passer-througher!

The “excessive velocity crystal rail” was one of many Federation’s 10 ginormous grand artifacts, praised to be a “nationwide treasure”. It’s most velocity can exceed 1000 km/hour. Moreover, each reduce of automobile on the crystal rail practice was outfitted with the very best defensive army grade artifacts to defend towards fiend beasts. The damaging capabilities of its excessive velocity assaults had been by no means inferior to a excessive stage cultivator putting together with his all!

With a purpose to forestall surprising accidents, the excessive velocity crystal practice was usually levitating a dozen or so meters off the bottom on its devoted rail line. The rail line was sealed throughout as a restriction— How did this fool crawl inside?

That’s proper, Li Yao noticed it clearly. An outdated man truly stood on the bridge’s rail line.

This outdated man appeared very odd; he was outdated and gray-haired, and his look was uninteresting and historical. He appeared like he was unearthed tens of hundreds of years in the past, like having as soon as been in a museum seen by Li Yao.

However, his physique truly exuded an air that was extraordinarily heavy. Despite the fact that they had been over 100 meters aside, it brought on Li Yao to virtually hear his personal heartbeat beat violently.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It was like a big hammer was repeatedly bombarding a metallic sheet!

The outdated man’s air was like an enormous ocean. He Lianlie’s oppressive power was merely feeble and pitiful compared. The distinction between the 2 was larger than the hole between the solar and a firefly. Li Yao additionally had a sure feeling. When in comparison with He Lianlie’s created show of fame and energy, this outdated man merely wasn’t manifesting this air consciously. Though there have been waves inadvertently overflowing from the outdated man, what Li Yao felt was simply the tip of the iceberg!

The outdated man wore a easy and plain coarse gown, it was like he stepped out from the traditional world of cultivation 40,000 years in the past!

“Hey—” It was a harmful second. Li Yao couldn’t make out whether or not this outdated man was lunatic or some form of eccentric. He noticed that the practice was arriving right here at galloping velocity. His fingers and ft had been gesticulating as he cried loudly.

The outdated man turned a deaf ear to Li Yao’s shouts as he continued to measurement up the repeatedly increasing gentle within the entrance of him.

It appeared he was in a state of full curiosity about every thing in his environment. He was particularly curious in regards to the crystal rail line that lay on the bridge and the screaming crystal rail practice that was about to reach. Much more so was the expression that appeared on his face; it containing the joyful ideas of a mischievous youngster who had found a model new toy.

Within the subsequent second—
