When he returned to the dorm after dinner, it was already past nine, almost ten.
Xiao Lu Jie sent a message asking Fang Xin if he wanted to be the freshman representative for tomorrow, to speak at the morning assembly.
Fang Xin directly refused.
According to Zhuge Heng, Fang Xin's first place in the initial assessment today had already attracted a lot of attention.
It was better to lay low for now.
Fang Xin returned to his dorm and lay on his bed.
He casually took out the phone his grandfather had sent and started looking through it.
His grandfather hadn't sent any messages these past few days.
He didn't know where his grandfather was currently.
As for his grandfather's mention of the No. 9 God and Demon Relic for the midterm exam, there was still a long time until then.
Updates are not easy, remember to share 101kanshu.com.
Fang Xin reopened the video to watch it again.
He pondered about seeing the King of Slaughter in the mirror tonight.
He stood up and checked around the dorm.
He didn't find any monitoring devices.
But to be safe.
Fang Xin still decided to play it safe. He was currently in the spotlight and had been targeted by the Church. If he were to summon the King of Slaughter from the mirror here and cause a commotion, he would be taken away for dissection, which would be somewhat counterproductive.
His zhilian device vibrated.
Fang Xin picked it up and saw it was a message from Zhuge Heng.
The virtual screen displayed, "You have an item delivered. Do you wish to receive it?"
Fang Xin clicked yes.
He saw a small sculpture, less than ten centimeters long. Fang Xin pointed the screen at his palm, and the small sculpture slowly teleported into his hand. It looked quite similar to the small sculpture Chu Xinyao had given Fang Xin previously.
"Inside are two Light-Based Talent cultivation techniques, but they are only ninth-tier techniques. However, they are sufficient for you now. Just make do with them. The core Light-Based Talent cultivation techniques are strictly controlled by those old fogeys from the Church, so they're hard to get. If I get a chance, I'll find you two more techniques from the Church."
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!"
Fang Xin held the small sculpture, pointing it directly at the night sky and moonlight, and focused his gaze on the sculpture, visualizing it.
A few seconds later.
A scene gradually appeared in Fang Xin's mind.
A blurry figure completed a blink under the moonlight.
"Divine Skill: Light Blink!"
With the help of Light-Based Talent, one can achieve a blink within a certain range.
Due to the cultivation method, the initial level can only teleport within a distance of ten meters, and its upper limit can only achieve a blink within a five-kilometer radius.
Compared to Zhuge Heng, who could cross several large districts in a few blinks, it was simply incomparable.
However, having it was better than not having it at all.
But as Fang Xin visualized, he suddenly noticed that the light silhouette, which was originally like moonlight, actually transformed into a figure almost identical to darkness. With a whoosh, it teleported an even greater distance than the original.
Fang Xin suddenly realized that his Slaughter Talent seemed to be able to enhance this skill. Originally, the initial level could only blink ten meters, but now it could blink thirty meters, and its upper limit also increased from five kilometers to fifteen kilometers.
It had increased by three times.
Fang Xin now realized that he knew too little about his Slaughter Talent.
Besides the Light Blink skill, there was another cultivation technique.
"Divine Skill: Light Slash"
A figure raised both hands high, and moonlight gradually formed a moonlight cross-sword in their hands. Immediately after, a phantom of the Moon God gradually appeared behind them. The Moon God also raised the sword in their hand as the figure raised theirs, and when the figure slashed forward, the Moon God also slashed fiercely.
Within a ten-meter range at the initial level, this sword would strike the enemy at light speed, with a hundred percent hit rate. With the power of the Moon God, it could unleash the peak power of the user's current level!
As Fang Xin visualized, the Moon God's figure gradually changed, much like the changes that appeared when he visualized before. The silver armor worn by the Moon God's figure turned into black armor, with a few flashes of bloodthirsty crimson within it.
Under the enhancement of the Slaughter Talent, the Light Slash, which originally could only lock onto an enemy within ten meters at the initial level, instantly had its range increased to thirty meters.
Fang Xin slowly exhaled.
He hadn't expected that under the enhancement of the Slaughter Talent, he could unleash three times his original combat power.
Fang Xin's eyes gleamed.
However, if someone with Light-Based Talent saw him activate this skill, they would definitely realize that it wasn't Light-Based Talent. So, he had to be careful when using it; once used, he must ensure that everyone who saw it died. And to prevent those with perception-based talents from extracting pre-mortem memories, he would also have to destroy their memories.
When he was about to go to bed at night.
Fang Xin always felt movement in the adjacent dorm room. He sensed it.
Bai Yulin was arguing with himself, using different voices, different expressions, and different tones, in a heated debate.
Shi Tailang was hugging a wine gourd, drinking and caressing it, looking like a lecher, muttering some unbroadcastable lines.
Li Bao'er had two broadswords propped up on her bed, resting her head on one and her heel on the other, sleeping soundly.
Zhang Yaozu was sleepwalking, and not only that, but he was also hugging a pillow, swaying as he walked as if coaxing a child.
Shen Yu seemed to be the quietest, but he unexpectedly wasn't sleeping on his bed, but on the floor. Such a large man, curled up in the arms of a human-shaped sandbag like a child, muttering, "Baby wants milk."
Fang Xin sat up.
There were only six people in one team!
Five of them were abnormal!
What kind of Ninth Division was this, a monster house!
Are you sure this isn't a psychiatric ward?
Fang Xin retracted his perception, limiting it to his own room.
Early the next morning.
A notification in the group announced a large assembly in the morning.
First, the freshman representative would speak, followed by the instructor representative.
Upon arriving at the venue.
He saw many people pointing at a spot in front. Fang Xin also followed the direction everyone was pointing.
He saw Knock-off Underwear Bro, Zhang Qiang, sitting in the very front. He wore a shit-yellow suit, with shiny scales on it that reflected light under the illumination, bright red pants, golden leather shoes, and his hair was meticulously styled and shiny, as if licked by a cow.
This outfit was incredibly flamboyant, making him the most dazzling person in the entire venue today.
After the host's opening remarks, "Next, please welcome the representative of this year's instructors to the stage!"
A very robust figure quickly ascended the stage, first saluting the leaders and the students below.
Then he said, "Hello, everyone! I am Chen Yuanjue, team leader of the Second Group of the First Special Operations Department of the Sky Shield Bureau, and also one of this year's Mental Element instructors. It is an honor to stand here and welcome our new students. The Sky Shield Bureau was established at the beginning of this century, aiming to defend the peace of our motherland and eliminate various organizations and groups that endanger society, led by the Eternal Night Army. We bear the arduous responsibility of protecting the lives and property of ordinary citizens..."
After a long speech, Chen Yuanjue continued.
"I see that many new students seem to place great importance on the results of the entrance assessment. Actually, that's not the case. This score is only a reference, because many new students have not experienced combat before coming here, so their scores might be less than ideal. However, after the upcoming specialized training, many of your scores will receive a qualitative improvement! So, a low score now does not represent your final score! Of course, if your assessment score is good, do not be arrogant, as it is very possible that you will be surpassed by other diligent students later on!"
Fang Xin clearly sensed many people's gazes turning towards him.
After Chen Yuanjue finished his speech, the host returned to the stage, "Thank you, Teacher Chen, for your speech. Next, please welcome this year's outstanding freshman representative, Student Zhang Qiang, to the stage!"
Zhang Qiang got up, stomped his golden leather shoes, shook his shiny hair, and strode confidently towards the stage.
Many students below were cheering, "Ku Cha'r Ge is awesome!"
"As expected of Ku Cha'r Ge!"
"I told you Ku Cha'r Ge was hiding his strength. The fact that Ku Cha'r Ge is the outstanding freshman representative says it all!"
"Yesterday, because of the Beast Taming Department instructor's matter, someone even argued with me, saying that the Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace didn't come for Ku Cha'r Ge. Ku Cha'r Ge has implicitly admitted it. Now they've been proven wrong by Ku Cha'r Ge, this is the best proof!"
Zhang Qiang cleared his throat, "Greetings, leaders and fellow students! My name is Zhang Qiang, and it is a great honor to speak here today as this year's outstanding freshman representative.
Teacher Chen just said something that I think is very true: the results of the entrance assessment do not represent your future achievements. Some students who have good grades now do not necessarily mean their future grades will be very good. Even if you break the school record, in the future, it's not impossible for everyone to surpass you!"
After the host's opening remarks, "Next, please welcome the representative of this year's instructors to the stage!"
