"You are different from them. You are heavily contaminated with demonic energy and your soul is unstable. If you spend too much energy learning and studying spells, it will easily lead to lack of energy and be invaded by demonic energy. When you are older, the demonic energy will It’s been completely cleared, and you can do whatever you want.”
Ling Shang paused for a moment, adjusted his expression to a rare and pleasant expression, but his eyes drifted into the void.
"By that time, you have been completely purified. As long as you choose to stay in the state capital, I will try my best to clear the way for you and find a leisurely job. It is not impossible for you to stay in school."
Ling Yu studied step by step in this way, and accepted the "ritual" of demonic energy cleansing every night. His self-healing power did not come only after practicing the magic, but seemed to be innate. This is also evidence that Ling Shang believes that the demonic energy has contaminated him. Normal humans would not have such terrible self-healing power.
He is very smart and can memorize most books after reading them once. He can also remember the content that he does not understand even if the teacher explains it once. It's just that he doesn't have more time to seriously review his homework at home and complete so many after-school homework. During the exam, he will deliberately make mistakes or leave a few questions blank, so that his grades will remain at the bottom.
When he entered the Higher Cultivation School, Ling Shang used the preferential treatment quota for children of faculty and staff to gain admission for Ling Yu, which moved Ling Yu very much. However, those who enroll in this way are also looked down upon by those students who enter with excellent grades. He was already introverted and had few friends, which inevitably made him feel inferior and unwilling to interact with others.
When it comes to choosing a major, it's not that Ling Yu likes the magic combat major, but that the preferential quota will only depend on his performance to send him to this major. The future of this major is most likely to be stationed in various dangerous sealed areas. Even if there is the benefit of taking a month off every year, it is still front-line hard work.
Only a very small number of people with backdoor connections can stay in the state capital city after graduation, enter the urban security maintenance system, or stay in school to hold some less conspicuous positions.
Ling Yu could tell that his adoptive father didn't like him studying in the magic combat department, so he didn't stand out in the professional classes. Usually, he kept low scores to pass the homework that the teacher asked him to complete, and sometimes he just didn't do the homework when it was too late. During the practical class Just fool around with it. It's not uncommon for Shuiidai to hang out like him, and what he does is not conspicuous at all.
However, regardless of his apparent results, Ling Yu would study the theory of techniques carefully whenever he had time. When he encountered a problem that he did not understand, he would write anonymously to ask experts. By that time, he had learned to hide his traces, and the letters he mailed were disguised so that no one could find his identity.
That expert is an expert on magic theory who lives in Zhongzhou Prefecture. He had already emerged at the youth gathering in the cultivation world forty years ago. His works have now been listed as classics for expanded learning by major cultivation schools. It is rare for Li Sa to learn on his own to this extent.
The expert keenly discovered Ling Yu's talent and various whimsical ideas that were not restricted by those wild questions, and the two became close friends through correspondence. This expert regarded Ling Yu as a good candidate who was physically weak but devoted himself to studying theory. After all, most normal people only have one kind of spiritual root, and it is rare to be able to delve into such a depth in a type of technique that they are familiar with. Ling Yu has done in-depth research on the spells corresponding to various spiritual roots. He definitely does not possess those spiritual roots and is just doing purely theoretical research.
Experts then encouraged Ling Yu to seize the opportunity and achieve good results in the literary test so that he could participate in this year's grand event. Experts said that he was one of the judges this year.
In fact, they don't know that Ling Yu is full of spiritual roots, and water spells are only the least offensive ones in his opinion, and they will not attract attention when displayed.
Ling Yu secretly tried various systems of spells in the barrier he created. At first, he was just curious and didn't think he could control spells other than the water system. He didn't expect that the spells were not difficult for him. What kind of spells were there? The corresponding spiritual roots cannot restrict his control, and can be easily controlled.
This shocked him so much that he once suspected that he had been controlled by demons and that all kinds of extraordinary situations were just illusions created by demons to tease him.
Now, he still suspects that there is a terrifying demon in his body. Just like what his adoptive father said, if he does not purify, suppress and consume the energy of the demon every day, sooner or later he will be completely controlled by the demon.
He also spent countless painful nights thinking about the question, what kind of feelings and thoughts his adoptive father had towards him. He had seen normal father-son affection in some literary works, but he felt that his adoptive father did not treat him that way. But this cannot be blamed on the adoptive father. After all, he is not the adoptive father's biological son.
Twenty years ago, during the practice of sealing demons in an extremely cold place, the Taoist monk who adopted my father was killed by a demon. She was pregnant at the time. The adoptive father lost the love he loved. After that, he became disheartened and no longer considered matters between men and women, and only focused on raising him.
Ling Shang often said: "If my child can be born, no matter what his qualifications are, I don't want him to be too outstanding. Just be an ordinary person. It's okay to be a little stupid. Don't attract world attention. Don't go far away. How can you protect the common people?" His great ideal. I hope that he will read some books, have some hobbies to pass the time, find a well-matched man to get married and have children, and just enjoy family happiness with his family."
When Li Sa saw this, he also felt Ling Yu's hesitation and struggle.
Li Sa can understand that feeling. Before she came to the world of natural disasters, she also felt helpless and hesitant. What should one do in this life? Should he be ordinary and live a mediocre life like most people do, or should he make a splash and become a celebrity that everyone admires?
But Li Sa couldn't let her think too much, so she came to this world of natural disasters. In her last life, she just blindly and passively accepted it and struggled to survive. In this life, she has better conditions, and her abilities have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the previous life. So does she also have to change her way of living?
A person's ability determines the upper limit of what she can achieve. Should she look up and see if there is a broader sky?
Somehow, the figure of Crazy Zhao appeared in front of his eyes.
That mysterious man is not understood by players, and is even feared and disgusted by most players. What is he pursuing? Is he really the kind of lunatic who switches sides and kills other players openly? He can realize this dream without changing camps, and he can even hunt down killers, so why bother?
Ling Yu's contradiction is obvious. He has doubts about his adoptive father. He hopes that someone can help him see from an outsider's perspective whether he has a problem or whether it is his adoptive father's problem.
What his adoptive father said to him must make sense. The lives of celebrities and heroes are found in many biographies, and they are by no means as glamorous as they appear. He knows that what they often lose is their true love, and they sacrifice all their personal time and enjoyment to pursue lonely roads or ethereal hopes.
But ordinary people seem to have daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. They just eat, drink and have fun every day. They spend their whole lives mediocrely trying to make a small fortune for their families. What's wrong with this? There are more ordinary mortals in this world who never see through or think deeply, so they don’t have so many worries and worries.
