Today’s fourth update: Chapter 1043! 4/4!
…
The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night!
There are no calendar days in the mountains, and it’s so cold that I don’t know the year!
Xu Kun, who was focused on nothing else and immersed in the ocean of books, had no concept of time anymore!
Putting down the last book, Xu Kun touched his long beard that hung down to his chest. There were already some crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, and there were also a few more silver hairs among the green hair on his head!
Based on the time he spent in Qufu Academy, Xu Kun is now in his sixties!
Li Yian stood behind him, still as bright and beautiful as before. This is the advantage of being a ghost, no worries about age!
After being together for more than forty years, the relationship between the two was no longer limited to the physical. After a long period of loneliness, Xu Kun did not dare to contact the outside world even once, for fear of affecting his determination to study wholeheartedly, and only Li Yian , stay with him day and night!
It gave him comfort in all aspects. It can be said that the two of them are not a husband and wife, but better than a husband and wife, and they have come to this day by relying on each other!
"Damn old man, why are you getting more and more white hairs..." Li Yian pulled out a few more white hairs and muttered.
Xu Kun grabbed the catkins she put on his shoulders and said, "When you get old, your hair won't turn white!"
After all, he is just a mortal, and he only enjoys the life span of a mortal!
A mortal's life span is only a hundred years, but Xu Kun's life span is already half of that!
But the traces of time are reflected in Xu Kun's body, not only these physical changes, but also those eyes as deep as the sea, no matter how many times Li Yian looks at them, he always feels like he is sinking!
Mr. Shu appeared in time as always, looked at the books scattered around Xu Kun, and said calmly: "It seems that you are ready!"
Xu Kun stood up slowly and acted steadily.
He responded: "If you want to draw bamboo, you must first have bamboo in mind!"
"Haha, the passage of time cannot change your innate arrogance!"
"Well, without further ado, let's start your SS-level assessment!"
The exercises reappeared, and Xu Kun graded the papers first and then worked on the questions, just like he did more than ten years ago.
Li Yi'an's attention was naturally focused on the biology problem that she still had yet to get to grips with even though she had done it countless times over the past decade or so!
She exclaimed when she saw the question requirement.
Xu Kun turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Li Yian looked Xu Kun's body up and down, swallowed and said, "You have to do the questions for three days in a row. Old man, can your body and bones still hold up?"
"Don't let everyone die then!"
Black lines appeared on Xu Kun's face, and he took a look at the question. It was indeed more difficult, but don't underestimate a sixty-year-old old man!
As the saying goes, getting stronger with age is nothing more than this!
"Instead of asking me if it's okay, you should consider whether you can bear it!"
"Bah, you're not serious!" Li Yian spat lightly, his face red and full of expectation.
"Mr. Shu, it seems that this Qufu Academy is beyond its capabilities!"
After reading all the questions, Xu Kun suddenly said this.
Mr. Shu sighed helplessly: "Those who learn one thing and know ten are called geniuses. Those who learn one thing and know a hundred are rare in the world. There is a road in the book mountain, and diligence can be the path. There is no limit to the sea of learning, and hardship is the boat. The books collected in the academy cannot cover everything, and what cannot be stopped is a keen heart that loves to learn!"
"You are already well versed in the method of learning. Being talented without being arrogant is better than many people who are talented but without virtue. The difficulties of studying in the palace are like floating clouds to you!"
As he spoke, Xu Kun was already writing thoughtfully, and he gave answers to many questions just at a glance.
If Mr. Shu hadn't started the assessment based on Xu Kun's learning progress, Xu Kun would have really wanted to read all the remaining books in one go and then go directly to the final assessment!
But unfortunately, the rice can only be eaten one bite at a time!
The upper limit of knowledge in the academy involves the way of saints. What can still stump Xu Kun now is the skills of high-level alchemy and the way of formation!
Even if Xu Kun hadn't read the rest of the book, there wouldn't be much of a problem to answer for combat-related knowledge like the fire system!
The SS-level assessment is obviously more difficult than the S-level assessment, but under Xu Kun's writing, the answer speed is much faster than the previous assessment!
The simple questions are swept away in one stroke, and the difficult questions left behind are worthy of Xu Kun's consideration!
Picking up a cup of scented tea that Li Yian made for himself, and taking a sip, Xu Kun picked up his pen and was about to write down the answer to the current question, when a series of notification sounds caused the teacup in his hand to fall to the ground.
[Ding, the A-level race, the Anaconda tribe, has sounded the war horn and launched an attack on the B-level race, the main city of the human race, the harbor city, and selected the harbor city...; the number of participants...]
[Ding, A-level race, Thorny Crocodile Tribe...Seaport City...]
[Ding,...port city...]
"Are you here?" Xu Kun's face became more serious than ever.
In detail, thirteen A-level and B-level races have sounded the war horn towards the newest main city, the Harbor City, ten levels above the human race!
The selected resources to plunder are many primitive secrets in the harbor city and some important supplies!
This is just the beginning!
[Ding, the A-level race Vampires have sounded the war horn and launched an attack on the B-level race, the main city of the human race, the City of Light, and selected the City of Light...; the number of participants...]
[Ding, the A-level race Guangyu Clan...]
【Ding……】
Exactly the same, more than a dozen races sounded the war horn again, and what was replaced was only the main city, which was the City of Light built during the time of the God of Light, Odin!
"The Vampires? They really care about eating but not fighting!" Xu Kun snorted coldly.
The former SS-level demon clan and today's vampire clan all say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As a veteran A-level race, the vampire clan's strength is undoubted!
[Ding, the A-level race Succubus has sounded the war horn and launched an attack on the B-level race, the main city of the human race - the Yanhuang City, and selected the Yanhuang City...; the number of participants...]
[Ding, the A-level race Silver-tailed Mink tribe...]
【……】
Following the same pattern, for a time, three of the remaining five main cities above the tenth level of the human race fell into the shadow of war!
But this is not over yet, how can the remaining two main cities escape the disaster!
[Ding, the A-level race Behemoth has sounded the war horn and launched an attack on the B-level race, the main city of the human race - the City of Freedom, and selected the city of freedom...; the number of participants...]
[Ding, the B-level race wolf clan has sounded the war horn and launched an attack on the B-level race, the main city of the human race, the City of Freedom, and selected the city of freedom, Ice Wolf Fortress; the number of participants...]
【……】
[Ding, the A-level race Stone Statues have sounded the war horn and launched an attack on the B-level race, the main city of the human race - Olympus City, and selected Olympus City...; the number of participants...]
【……】
The five major cities were declared at war at the same time!
Moreover, multiple ethnic groups are encircling and suppressing one ethnic group!
This is an unprecedented crisis in the history of mankind!
You can tell the difference simply from the race of the declared war!
Most of the Thorny Crocodile Tribe and Anaconda Tribe who attack the harbor city are amphibious races, and are inseparable from the Dragon Tribe, Black Turtle Tribe, and Jiao Tribe!
The blood clan attacking the City of Light, as well as the Guangyu clan, represent the trends of the Shura clan and the angel clan!
The succubus tribe and the silver-tailed mink tribe that attacked the Yanhuang City were, not surprisingly, assigned by the nine-tailed demon fox tribe!
The Behemoth Tribe, the Stone Statue Tribe, and the Giant Tribes of all sizes are all races under the Titan Tribe!
"Are you asking for directions? This appetizer is not a small one!"
Xu Kun's long-dormant communication list was about to explode.
After some arrangements, only Yang Yao sent this sentence: "The situation is still under control, don't worry!"
Xu Kun took a deep breath, closed the communication list, and forced himself to focus on the assessment in front of him!
