Li Rui followed Song Yao outside the martial arts arena, chatting while walking.
"Mr. Song, you don't have to keep watching the competition?"
"There's nothing interesting left, so I just have an excuse to take the first step."
The old man is a very upright person. Because of this, he would rather serve as the president locally than stay in the special abilities department.
Li Rui said: "Okay, what do I mean? Did I pass it?"
"Of course it passed."
"But didn't you say you should show off as much as possible? I still have a lot of useless moves. I originally wanted to display the Fire Bell Spell, and there is also a combination skill called Thunder Shock Earth, which you haven't seen yet."
Li Rui was nagging behind him.
Song Yao said angrily: "I guess your move has almost cast a psychological shadow on that little Taoist priest. What people fear most is competition. That Duan Ling is already powerful enough. He can pass it, so of course you can too." . No need to show it off, even if you only know this one move, you are strong enough!"
"Hey, you're quite nice when you talk, can you say a few more words?"
"Get lost."
Song Yao couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that this boy was really not afraid of "powerful people" and he actually had the courage to bullshit in front of him.
"Let's go back to the ministry first. We're done for today. Tell me what happened in the northwest."
An old man and a young man walked side by side to the car, and the secretary drove them away.
While Li Rui was telling Song Yao about his experience in the northwest, he looked out the car window and found that this road was going to the Department of Superpowers.
Finally, the car stopped outside a gate, and armed soldiers blocked the road. Even if Song wanted a license plate, they couldn't let them go directly, and they had to check their identity.
Li Rui noticed that not far behind, there were several people with weak breaths staring coldly at the side of the car. When they noticed his gaze, they became obviously more alert.
These must be high-level supernatural beings from the supernatural department.
After confirming their identities, the car was released and several people entered the heavily guarded building.
"Mr. Song, where are we going?"
"Go and see the commander-in-chief of this secret battlefield. There is no doubt about your strength, but you need to let him decide the direction of your next training. In addition, after you pass the selection, you still need to find someone to give you the key to enter the secret battlefield."
Li Rui asked: "Key?"
"You'll know when you come."
Obviously, Li Rui is special. After others pass the selection, they have to wait for notification, then go through the formalities, and then uniformly obtain the qualifications to enter the secret battlefield.
But now that he is being led by Song Yao, he can do everything alone. The biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to queue up.
After signing several confidentiality agreements and disclaimers, and filling out some miscellaneous forms, Li Rui completed the certification procedures.
Song Yao actually waited patiently by the whole process and did not leave.
When everything was ready, Li Rui was taken to a separate small room. Song Yao called, said he was ready, and started waiting.
"Now to answer your question, the function of the key is to ensure that you can enter the battlefield. After all, it is also a secret realm, right?"
Li Rui nodded: "I understand, it's something similar to the branch I got in Peach Blossom Spring, which will lead me to a specific secret realm."
"That's right."
Song Yao said, "When the earliest secret battlefields appeared, we didn't realize that we could find ways to select specific personnel. They were recruited randomly. Later, gradually, all countries discovered the secret. It turned out that prophets could interfere in the secret battlefields. Start changing tactics and letting select people in.”
"The extraordinary power of the Western Kingdom is relatively strong now, because at that time, they were the first to discover this, and used their information advantage to gain a lot of benefits, which has been affecting them for so many years. Of course, others discovered it first because they were powerful, but we cannot admit defeat. , we have gradually recovered a lot over the years.”
Li Rui said: "So, the secret realm is used to accumulate strength, and then use it on the battlefield to gain greater benefits."
Song Yao thought for a while: "It can be said that under normal circumstances, unless fundamental interests are involved, countries are unwilling to easily have too large-scale conflicts in reality. Even if the competition is local, it will be local."
Li Rui thought of the assassination of Guan Gui by the Western Anomaly Bureau. The scale of the battle was actually not large. There were only about ten people on both sides, and no one made any announcement after it was done.
Just as he was talking, there were footsteps outside the door. Soon, a man in his thirties walked in. He was wearing formal leather shoes and was over 1.8 meters tall. He was also very handsome. He had a maturity that was not seen in young people, but he didn't look like him. Uncle is so greasy.
Song Yao introduced: "Oh! Xiaoling, this is Li Rui. Li Rui, this is the chief prophet of the Department of Supernatural Powers and senior advisor to Ling Zixiao."
The two of them did not rush to say hello, but looked at each other steadily.
Ling Zixiao's eyes were blazing. Prophets of his level had a natural inspiration. Now when he met this young man who Song Yao had mentioned many times for the first time, he found that he was in a trance.
It's like looking at stars on the ground. You can see the starlight coming from thousands of light years away, but it feels out of reach and cannot be seen clearly.
"This young man is not simple." He thought to himself.
Li Rui, who was opposite him, was also very serious. He stared at him without saying a word for a long time. Seeing that the other party remained silent, he finally couldn't help but break the silence first.
"Brother, can you give me an autograph?"
?
Ling Zixiao didn't hold back.
He thought that the young man in front of him had been silent, mainly because he was aware of his instinctive prying eyes and was wary of it, but he finally spoke like this.
Li Rui said with a playful smile: "That's right, we have a prophet there. He has always regarded you as an idol. I want to sign your name and take it back to him when the time comes."
Of course he was talking about Wu Bing, the one with small eyes who always wears sunglasses. Although he is older than Ling Zixiao and entered the extraordinary world earlier, his level is far behind. After all, one is the national chief and the other is only a municipal branch.
However, Li Rui cares about both interests and feelings. He will not refuse someone like He Pengxi who has no friendship but thinks he can cooperate in the future. But he will also care about someone like Wu Bing, who is not actually of much help to him. .
For no other reason than when he woke up from the secret realm a few times before, there was the skinny Brother Ba, the kind and gentle face, and the small-eyed prophet who always wore sunglasses.
Regardless of whether there is concrete help or not, people's kindness is real.
Hearing Li Rui's request, Ling Zixiao smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, but let's get down to business first and give you the key to the secret battlefield."
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"No, just sit down and give me the seal."
Li Rui stretched out his left hand and took off the Huayan hand wrap, revealing the mark showing the number 30.
At this time, the new secret realm has not yet appeared.
Ling Zixiao took out a small regular script writing brush from nowhere and held it in his right hand. He grabbed a handful of golden gravel in his left hand and slowly sprinkled it on the back of Li Rui's hand, covering the engraving.
Then he stretched out his left hand and clasped Li Rui's wrist firmly, and then began to use the pen tip to stir the gravel with his right hand to write.
I saw the meridians and blood vessels slowly lighting up at the right hand where Ling Zixiao was writing, emitting a light red halo. He was using some kind of ability, but the tip of the pen just slid steadily on the back of his hand.
Li Rui saw that every time a gap was opened in the golden sand, what was revealed was not flesh-colored skin, but an ink color like an engraving.
There were not many visions, just plain writing. In less than two minutes, a new imprint appeared.
[The Hall of Reincarnation. ]
There is no countdown.
"Is this the secret battlefield?"
When Ling Zixiao let go, Li Rui couldn't help but ask.
"It is the only place you must pass to enter the secret realm battlefield, which is equivalent to the Ascension Temple during advancement."
Song Yao answered helpfully, "With this mark, you will definitely be selected in the next recruitment. What are you doing?!"
He looked down at Li Rui and found that the boy was rubbing the newly appeared mark with his other palm.
"Hey, hey hey."
Li Rui laughed dryly and said, "I'm a little curious if the mark written on it can be erased."
