Beiming City, the city that stands at the northernmost tip of the Southern Territory, has been tortured by monsters all year round, but the people here, like this city, have shown super resilience, which allows this city to stand for hundreds of years. fall.
But I still have to admit that the level of the challengers here is limited compared to Lidu, let alone compared to the best of the Ivy League.
However, at this time, the Ivy League students have completely lost their previous contempt when facing these challengers. Whether it is the students on the stage or off the stage, when they see these challengers, their eyes are full of excitement. Respect.
In such a barren environment, there is always the danger of invasion by monsters, but the challengers can still live with hope, practice hard, and resist the arrangements of fate.
This is the respectable quality that a warrior should possess.
Gu Lei looked at these energetic young people in the audience, and his heart was filled with pride.
These young people are not only the future of Ivy League, but also the future of the entire continent.
The Beiming City Tour ended in two days. Compared to the ten challengers from Lidu who won, only two challengers from Beiming City succeeded in the challenge.
The night before he was about to leave Beiming City, Luo Jun, who had disappeared for two days, found his eldest grandson.
"Where did you go? Did you get scared at the Wolf Tavern last time and hid on purpose so that we couldn't find you?" Changsun joked when he saw Luo Jun.
It's just that Luo Jun didn't seem to be in the mood to joke with his eldest grandson. Instead, he said somewhat mysteriously: "Changsun, my master wants to see you."
"Your master? Who is it? Do you want to see me?" Changsun asked in confusion.
"Oh, you'll know if you follow me." Luo Jun pulled his eldest grandson to go out.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you drag me away now. What if you drag me out and sell me? I am not familiar with this place." Zhangsun said, shaking off Luo Jun's hand.
"Okay, with your strength and mind, just don't sell me." Luo Jun said.
"Yes, it's really difficult for a stupid soldier like you to sell me." Changsun said in agreement.
"Eldest grandson! Why do you want me to carry you in a sedan chair?" Luo Jun was anxious.
When the eldest grandson saw this, he said, "Okay, okay, I'll go, lead the way."
Luo Jun glanced at his eldest grandson and walked ahead to lead the way.
After a while, the two arrived.
It turns out that Luo Jun's master is Zhao Chengguang, the captain of the Lidu Prefecture Army.
"Greetings to the captain!" Changsun saluted Zhao Chengguang, imitating the military salute of the Beiming Army.
Zhao Chengguang looked at the eldest grandson who was meticulous in performing the Beiming military salute for the first time, with admiration in his eyes.
"Okay, we are meeting in private, so there is no need for so many etiquettes." Zhao Chengguang asked his eldest grandson to sit down.
"Luo Jun, sit down too." Zhao Chengguang said to Luo Jun.
"How is the eldest grandson's injury from the last battle?" Zhao Chengguang did not go straight to the point and explain why he summoned the eldest grandson. Instead, he had some pleasantries with the eldest grandson first.
"Thank you, Captain, for your concern. The injury has healed without leaving any sequelae." Changsun said.
"Okay, don't call me Captain. I'm just old enough to be your eldest brother. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Zhao." Zhao Chengguang said.
"Uh..." Changsun was stunned.
What was even more surprising was Luo Jun. If his eldest grandson called him brother Zhao Chengguang, he would be a generation behind him.
"Master, isn't this appropriate?" Luo Jun said.
"Haha, okay, feel free to do whatever you want, that will make you even more uncomfortable." Zhao Chengguang said with a smile.
The eldest grandson laughed. Zhao Chengguang, the captain of the Lidu Army, had no airs and was quite approachable.
After the greetings, Zhao Chengguang got to the point.
"Changsun, Luo Jun mentioned to me some of your insights on evil thoughts, which are very unique." Zhao Chengguang said.
Changsun had already been prepared. When Luo Jun asked that his master want to see him, he guessed that this must be the case, but he did not expect that Luo Jun's master was actually Zhao Chengguang.
"Captain, students do have some evil thoughts.
A superficial opinion, but I don't know if it is accurate. Changsun replied.
"Talk about it."
"I heard from Luo Jun that the research on evil thoughts in the three northern cities has never stopped. I wonder what stage the progress is now?" Changsun asked first.
Zhao Chengguang smiled and said: "He is indeed a cunning guy. He didn't even say anything to me before he just wanted to get something out of me. We have indeed been doing research on evil thoughts, but these researches have never been recognized by the mainland, even by the mainland. Prohibited. So the results of these studies are confidential."
Changsun looked frightened and said, "Captain, please forgive the students for being so rude. I really don't know that these are confidential."
Zhao Chengguang did not expose Changsun, and continued: "I can tell you something. The first aspect we started working on was how to rescue those warriors and spiritual beasts who were corrupted by evil thoughts, but we finally discovered the changes caused by evil thoughts to warriors and spiritual beasts. It’s irreversible.”
"irreversible?"
"Yes, taking warriors as an example, evil thoughts will only slightly change the warrior's body. The most important thing is that evil thoughts will parasitize in the warrior's soul. This is also the reason why warriors and spiritual beasts will become violent and cruel after being corroded by evil thoughts. It can even be said that the warriors and spiritual beasts corroded by evil thoughts are already new life forms, but they retain some of their previous life characteristics." Zhao Chengguang said.
The eldest grandson lowered his head and thought. The biggest difference between himself and the survivors was that he could still maintain an independent self-awareness. Evil thoughts formed a conscious evil spirit in his body, but he and the evil spirit were two independent consciousnesses that did not affect each other.
"The soul is the most original, mysterious, and complex part of a warrior. It is simply impossible for a soul that has been assimilated by evil thoughts to return to its original appearance." Zhao Chengguang said.
"After that, we changed the direction of research again. Can warriors maintain their consciousness after being corroded by evil thoughts." Zhao Chengguang continued.
"You mean?"
"Yes, it's what you think. We want to research more warriors like King Li." Zhao Chengguang said bluntly.
"Does Lord Li Wang know?" Changsun asked cautiously.
"All the research we conducted was approved by Lord Li Wang."
The eldest grandson was relieved. It seemed that King Li was a big-minded person and his previous worries were unnecessary.
Luo Jun also heard the meaning of Changsun's words and said, "Master Li Wang once said that he doesn't want to be invincible; what he wants is peace in the world."
The eldest grandson was stunned. He didn't expect that King Li would be such a man with the world in mind.
Zhao Chengguang nodded and continued: "Evil thoughts corrode everything. We have tried all means, including spiritual weapons, elixirs, formations, etc., but we can't protect the self-awareness of warriors in the process of evil thoughts corroding them. That is, Talking about the existence of King Li can only be an example!"
Changsun remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he always felt that Zhao Chengguang's last words were meant for him, but he didn't know what he meant by them.
"Is it possible that the evil thoughts you raised that day were another kind of spiritual energy? Luo Jun came back and told me. We were surprised because this is a conclusion we only recently concluded after countless failed experiments." Zhao Chengguang looked at his eldest grandson. said.
The eldest grandson was startled and said hurriedly: "Captain, the student is just guessing and it is consistent with the research conclusion. It is also an accident. I have never pried into your research."
Zhao Chengguang smiled and shook his head, waved his hands, and said, "Don't panic, we don't suspect you of stealing our research results. We are still very confident in the confidentiality of the research."
"I'm just curious about why you have such speculation and whether you have other ideas. Our research has now reached a bottleneck and needs new ideas to stimulate it." Zhao Chengguang said.
The eldest grandson finally calmed down, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Captain, the reason why the student made such a conjecture is because that day we were discussing why the magical beasts in the northern section were developing so rapidly and killing them incessantly. The student thought of it Evil thoughts can corrode spiritual beasts, so will there be spiritual beasts that actively absorb evil thoughts, just like absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation? In this case, will evil thoughts also be a kind of spiritual energy?
Or something similar to spiritual energy? "
"Since Captain, you have confirmed that the student's conjecture is correct through research, let's not pursue the process of the student's conjecture. After all, no matter how reasonable it is, experimental data cannot be reliable." Changsun chuckled.
Luo Jun nodded, but Zhao Chengguang looked at his eldest grandson with interest, but had no intention of asking the question.
