"Death?" Qin Huai and Yuanli Li Tianye looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
"Before you came under my command, I once led a group of extremely talented students. One of them had extremely high comprehension. He had his own unique cultivation experience at a young age. He was truly the best in the world. It's rare." Ji Yan seemed to be caught in some memory, and every word he spoke was trembling.
"Everything was going well originally. Even the student I mentioned had great hope of passing the final test of the academy. The other two are also geniuses among geniuses..." Ji Yan was talking to himself, with an expression on his face. Unconcealable sadness and regret.
"Until I led them on a mission, an accident occurred. Two of the three students died on the spot, and the strongest student also completely disappeared. Among the four, I was the only one who was injured and returned to the academy alive. ..." The accident replayed itself in Ji Yan's mind, making her heart ache.
Qin Huai and the others listened carefully to Ji Yan's story. From another perspective, they could feel the pain Ji Yan suffered at that time. Two of the three students died and one disappeared in front of her. The self-blame and pain may last a lifetime. The painstaking efforts...
"After returning to the college, I immediately reported the matter to the college. The college's top management immediately sent strong people to investigate and find information about the missing student. I healed my wounds in the college's alchemy while waiting for the results of the college for a long time. "Ji Yan recalled that time that was unforgettable for her.
"In the end, the missing student was not found, and there was not even a body. He was judged dead by the college..." The pain in Ji Yan's eyes was mixed with a little despair. The news was undoubtedly a sunny day for her at the time. thunderbolt.
"I'm sorry for the three of them. They have a promising future, just because I failed to protect them, alas..." His eyes found the names of the three students on the top list, and Ji Yan was immersed in it. Expression.
"Tianzi Academy will forever record the students who have died on the top list, and they will always exist on the top list. But now, the rankings of more and more outstanding students will change the rankings of these students who died in other places. Beyond, the number of tasks they...completed will always be fixed..."
Qin Huai looked at Ji Yan, who was secretly hurt, and suddenly said: "But, Teacher Ji Yan, you have tried your best, haven't you?"
Hearing this, Ji Yan murmured with a trace of self-mockery on his lips: "Try your best...yes, even though I tried my best, I still can't change the outcome. It's just that I'm not strong enough, and even resistance seems so weak. ..”
Qin Huai also sympathizes with Ji Yan's resentment towards him, just like when he was in the Han clan. Even if he spends his whole life, he can't change anything.
Qin Huai could really feel the heart-breaking pain.
Ji Yan's self-blame for those three students may never be forgotten for the rest of his life.
"From that time on, I never chose to teach again. I was afraid that the same thing would happen again. Until..." Ji Yan said, looking at Qin Huai, as if he saw light in the abyss.
"Until the college assigns you to me, Qin Huai...your talent is amazing. I think if I want to get out of the shadow that has troubled me for many years, I can only fulfill my long-cherished wish that I failed to fulfill back then." Ji Yan looked at it with great sincerity. Looking at Qin Huai, his eyes were full of hope after despair.
"The excellence of the three of you is very similar to the students under my command back then, but I feel that this time, I have greater strength to protect you..."
Listening to Ji Yan's extremely sincere words, the hearts of Qin Huai and the others were suddenly greatly touched.
Things in the world are unpredictable. Although Ji Yan blames everything on herself, there is no right or wrong for unexpected things. The future that no one knows is inherently unknown and full of variables.
Ji Yan closed his eyes and shook his head with complicated thoughts. He took a deep breath, then opened his beautiful eyes again, put all distracting thoughts behind, and quickly adjusted his state.
"Okay, I won't mention the past things anymore. When I mention them, I seem a little sentimental. I am not revealing the top list to you so that you can listen to the story. I need to let you know the next target arrangement." Soon, Ji Yan recovered from her sadness.
Being able to quickly adjust his negative emotions shows Ji Yan's ability to control emotions, and this is also an indispensable quality for a strong person.
A truly strong person will never be trapped in his own inner demons and be unable to extricate himself. Instead, he knows how to quickly adjust to face any challenge. The so-called grief that cannot be overcome is nothing more than not being strong enough.
"Qin Huai, Li Tianye, you are all in the realm of turning into a mirror now. You need to seize the time to break through to the martial soul mirror. And Yuanli, you need to completely stabilize the aura of your martial soul mirror in the later stage. During this period, you also need to It takes a lot of effort." Ji Yan set goals for the three of them.
"Yes!" Seeing that Ji Yan was not too obsessed with past memories, Qin Huai and the others were extremely smart and did not ask any more questions. It was as if nothing happened just now, so they agreed neatly.
"When Qin Huai and Li Tianye break through to the Martial Soul Mirror, I will lead you to take over the mission. Performing the mission of the academy is the fastest way to obtain the Sky Crystal Points. If you want to become truly strong, you must have experience. I will start from the ordinary mission Let’s start to guide you.” Ji Yan told the three of them all about the future arrangements.
"Ordinary tasks?" Qin Huai frowned slightly. Ji Yan had mentioned the academy's task setting to him before, but he mentioned it casually, so he was obviously still confused about the academy's task division.
"Yes, the tasks in the academy are divided into levels. From low to high, symbols are used to divide the difficulty. They are C level, B level, A level, S level, V level. Starting from S level, it is the assassination mission. !”
When they heard the word assassination, the three inexperienced teenagers were obviously shocked. Unexpectedly, the college even set up an assassination mission to encourage students to kill.
In today's world, for martial practitioners, having blood on their hands is nothing new. Except for some empires with special legal rules that prohibit the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, killing is naturally unavoidable due to grudges and grudges in the world. .
Even as far as Qin Huai is concerned, the man in black who broke into the Han clan and assassinated him that day still walked away in the end. There are no rules that can restrain and sanction this kind of behavior. If there must be one, then the strong is the rule. .
What Qin Huai didn't expect was that the academy would let the fledgling boys and girls start killing so early.
"There is nothing surprising. Now that you have the institutional protection of the college, the place you are in is undoubtedly very safe. If you go out to explore in the future, although the outside world is wonderful, for the sake of profit, competition will never stop, and killing will It has become the norm." As he spoke, Ji Yan pointed to the number one position on the top list.
The current number one position on the top list is named Chen Jiuge.
"That is the number one in the academy's current rankings, Chen Jiuge! He has completed many S-level assassination missions, and has more than two hands of dead souls under his command, and his age is not much older than you." Chen Jiuge's reputation, even among them It was also like thunder in the instructor's ears.
Looking at the top position on the top list, Qin Huai was a little distracted. Chen Jiuge's name seemed to have a kind of magic power attached to it. His name alone seemed to show all his dazzling and powerful qualities.
This feeling is like just seeing a name and being able to picture a figure in your mind with a strong spirit and moving like the wind. The powerful force of raising a knife and dropping it is even more breathtaking.
"As long as you can make it to the top of the Peak Ranking, you will receive extremely high remuneration. After the ranking is determined at the end of each month, you will be able to receive the Academy's Sky Crystal Point reward. Take Chen Jiuge, for example, he has been ranked first on the Peak Ranking all year round. For a long time, the reward for just being on the top list every month was thirty crystal points!"
"And every time you complete a task, you can earn Sky Crystal Points. The higher the task level, the higher the Sky Crystal Points you get." Ji Yan introduced.
"Thirty!" Qin Huai was shocked. Ever since he saw the preciousness of the Sky Crystal Points, Qin Huai could truly feel what a huge sum of money thirty Crystal Points were.
There are countless treasures of heaven, materials and earth in the treasure building linked to the Tianzi system. Qin Huai only knew how precious those heaven, materials and earth treasures are after visiting them twice. No matter how precious they are to anyone, Qin Huai Difficulty keeping calm.
And even if it is a random treasure that has a price but no market outside, the exchange price is only five Sky Crystal Points. Thirty Sky Crystal Points can be exchanged for no less than five or six pieces. It is hard to imagine what Chen Jiuge has on his body. How many treasures there are.
Yuan Li and Li Tianye looked at the top list with increasing intensity at this time. Like Qin Huai, they had seen the treasures in the treasure house. They even knew some treasures better than Qin Huai. Naturally, they knew the treasures. The various magic weapons in the treasure tower are so attractive.
"Although the Peak Ranking is not ranked by martial arts level, Chen Jiuge is the number one in the Peak Ranking. It would be a joke to say that his martial arts level is low. And with so many Heavenly Crystal Points, the resources in his hands are already Beyond the student stage, even many elders in the academy don’t have as rich a foundation as him.”
"With many top-notch resources, I believe his combat power has reached an extremely terrifying level. According to rumors, Chen Jiuge has started preparing for professional training some time ago..." Ji Yan also spoke highly of Chen Jiuge. As a student, His power was extremely dazzling even in Ji Yan's eyes.
"Practice profession... Then he has stepped into the Qiancang Mirror..." Qin Huai took a breath. Just a few words from Ji Yan clearly demonstrated Chen Jiuge's power and terror. In front of the three of them.
"Only when you obtain enough Sky Crystal Points can you use the college's treasure house to exchange for treasures to quickly improve your strength. So your next goal is to improve your strength. When the time is right, start taking over tasks to obtain Sky Crystal Points. , don’t worry about getting on the top list, it will take care of itself.”
Ji Yan immediately set goals for Qin Huai and the others.
