While the solar system was bustling with activity, Shi Yan and Lao Shi, who were far away in Tianmo Continent, also arrived in the Wind Empire.
I just got off the train, but it was evening. The two found a nearby inn to stay, waiting to go to Yunshang Academy, the capital of the Wind Empire, tomorrow, which was only more than thirty kilometers away from them.
"Sir, are you really not going to come with me for the entrance test tomorrow?" The two of them were eating at a roadside stall, and Shiri asked again in confusion. On the way, Lao Shi explained that he would only be sent here, and then he would prepare to return to Yunmo Town. This is what Shijie doesn't understand. Now that he's here, can't he stay for a day and wait for him to finish the test?
"I still have a lot of things to do. I can't always stay with you. There will be very few opportunities for our master and apprentice to meet in the future." Lao Shi said uncharacteristically.
Shi Jian thought thoughtfully, indeed, if he successfully enters Yunshang Academy. It was impossible to stay here with him when he was old, and it wasn't Meng's mother who moved three times, so he didn't need to take care of her like this. However, waiting one more day is not enough, which really makes him not understand. Is it possible that there are people in this city that I didn’t want to see when I was old?
"Okay, sir, take care on the road. I will definitely live up to your expectations." Shijian still calls Lao Shi sir, and Lao Shi did it on purpose.
Silently, the two returned to the inn to stay. After staying up all night, Lao Shi secretly left the inn at dawn, and his sight was completely unaware of Lao Shi's departure.

Lao Shi left the inn but did not go to the train station. Instead, he flew out of the city.
"Come out, why are you hiding? Everyone is following you." In the dense forest outside the city, Lao Shi shouted to the silent forest.
There was still silence and no reaction.
"The ghost remains!" Lao Shi's figure disappeared on the spot and then appeared next to a big tree. There was a figure hiding next to the big tree, and he immediately punched the figure.
The figure dodged, and Lao Shi's punch missed and hit the tree. The tree trunk was immediately split into cracks by Lao Shi's punch. To smash a tree with a diameter of one meter, it would take at least a "Ling Qi" level expert to do it. The big tree shook with the strength of old age and dropped many leaves.
Even though it was dark, it was like daylight to them.
"Haha~ I haven't seen you for a hundred years, and I'm almost catching up with me. Tsk tsk tsk~ Instead of hiding, I want to come out and seek death. Today I will help you and send you to see them!" The man's voice and words rang out in the darkness. There was a sneer in it.
"You're a piece of trash that hasn't grown in hundreds of years, and you only have this little talent." Lao Shi sarcastically said to the figure.
"Looking for death~" The figure was angered by Lao Shi's words, and took out a long knife and stabbed Lao Shi. This is indeed his heartache. It has been more than four hundred years since he entered the "ultimate" stage, but he is still stuck in the middle of the "ultimate" stage. On the other hand, when he was old, he had just gone from the "mastery" stage to the "extreme" level after not seeing him for a hundred years. How could he not be envious and jealous?
Lao Shi also took out a long stick from the compression bracelet and rushed towards the intruder.
While holding the long stick in his old age, the long stick began to rapidly turn red and shiny. Avoiding the man's long knife, the fiery long stick swept towards the man's head. The man couldn't dodge and was hit on the shoulder by Lao Shi's stick. The man in pain took advantage of the situation and dodged. As soon as he stood firm, he attacked again with a long knife.
"Don't think you are the only one who is a fire-type physique cultivator!" The man yelled and yelled. The long knife in his hand also turned red immediately.
The two of them did not dodge during the fight, but they underestimated the strength of someone who was one level above him. Because of the strength of the man's long sword, he could not bear it when he was old. The long sword slid down his long stick and was about to cut his wrist. Lao Shi used his feet to exert force and leaned back to dodge, but was still hit by the attack on his arm, leaving a bone-shattering gap. Blue blood suddenly flowed from his arm. Before he could even take a breath, the man struck again, forgetting his pain and facing him with a stick in both hands. Suddenly he knelt down to dodge, and Lao Shi's long stick was thrust towards the man's chin. The two were of equal strength. The man had no time to dodge, and only felt a burning sensation coming from his mouth.
But it was also like this, and a huge flaw was revealed in old age. He was kneeling, unable to use his body to dodge, and the man's long knife struck at his head. And he was determined to die together, and then he exerted force with both hands, and the long red stick immediately penetrated the man's head... The man's long knife also hit his shoulder, and the force was surprisingly strong, almost cutting off his entire body. Shoulders. The man died, and his body threw himself weakly at Lao Shi. His long knife was still embedded in Lao Shi's muscles.
The short, instantaneous exertion of force consumed all the body's energy. His body collapsed, and he pushed the man's body away with all his strength. Then he reached out and grasped the man's long knife, and cut off the last connecting muscles with force, and the entire arm fell to the ground.
After taking a few breaths, Lao Shi rummaged around the man's body. He took away his compression bracelet, picked up his broken arm and left here. In the dense forest, accompanied by a few bird calls, the first ray of sunshine ushered in, and the earth gained another trace of nutrients...

In the early morning, Shihuan woke up and knocked on Lao Shi’s door. But the door to the room was open, and Lao Shi had already disappeared.
He immediately used the sight paper to contact Lao Shi, but found that he could not be contacted. Lao Shi seemed to have done this intentionally and did not want to contact him.
If you can’t understand it, you can only bear it alone. He immediately went to Yunshang Academy to prepare for the second entrance test. They are already one day late. Yunshang Academy only has three days per year to start testing. After that, they have to wait another year.
Based on the map projected by the sight paper hologram, he soon arrived at the gate of the famous Yunshang Academy. All man-made flying objects are prohibited from flying over the academy. He came to the entrance of the college and put away the aerostat. Follow the flow of people who also come to test.
The crowd was bustling. I glanced at it and followed the queue to enter the academy. He thought that Yunshang Academy would be a high-rise building with splendid decoration. But at first glance, the tallest building only has six or seven floors. Even the gate of the college is just a simple fence, and the courtyard wall is only about half a meter of brick wall, so anyone can step through it at will. But isn't this safe? Shi Jian felt that there must be something else going on, but he couldn't guess it.
They will be divided into batches and wait until the previous batch of testers complete the test before the next batch of people will enter the academy for testing. Vision saw some people happily running out of the door from the other side, while others looked frosty and dejected.
On the way here, Lao Shi explained it to him. The test is very simple and only takes a few minutes for everyone.
People only need to walk into a testing machine, and the machine will release a special pulse frequency to impact the tester. Correspondingly, the tester will respond to the source of force in the body. To put it scientifically, the two waves will repel each other like magnets. The principle was so simple. He was even a little unbelievable, but he was relieved. Some of the simplest principles of nature are actually the keys to thousands of worlds.
The content of the test is just to try to walk along a pulse wave road. The longer the distance, the better the person's physical fitness is. The more energy there is in the body. But not everyone can take the entrance test, only those who are under 100 years old. The machine can also detect the bone age of the examiner, which no one can hide.
In the Tianmo Continent, many people mature physically at the age of 20, but their mental age does not reach maturity until they are 30 years old. And like the people on earth, they also need to spend ten or twenty years learning ordinary professional knowledge. So, it’s entirely up to you when you want to test.
I glanced around and saw that most of the crowd were young people, with only a few who looked like children. The appearance of these people is not much different from that of people on Earth. The current scene is actually more like an entry exam, and the place to join is the best company.
Just like the earth, better companies will naturally attract more people to compete. The situation of more wolves and less meat is the same in any collective biological group and cannot be avoided. The ideal world of perfection, according to the laws of nature, can never exist.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the horizon waiting for a group of people. However, when he stepped into the gate of the academy, he was called out alone.
"You, go over there and wait for a moment." The person in charge of supervision saw the black hair and immediately stopped him. He motioned for him to stand aside, and then fell silent.
"Why? Is there something wrong with me?" He blocked the flow of people and allowed others to enter the academy. Then he asked the man who seemed to be in charge suspiciously.
"Don't ask, just cooperate. You go over and wait. I will let you know when to go." The man glanced around, his words filled with indifference and impatience.
Shi Jian also felt resentful, but he was not familiar with the place and it was difficult to cause trouble, so he could only swallow his anger and stand aside. People passing by looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, not understanding why he was standing there. Is he in charge? But he was still some distance away from the other guides, and seemed a little out of place.
He gritted his teeth and could only break his teeth and swallow them. This was also the first time he experienced being treated differently when he came to Tianmo Continent. Could it be because of his hair color and pupils? Obviously it wasn't that simple, and he started to think wildly...
