Lu Jing escaped from the first grade of junior high school, but failed to escape from the fifteenth grade. In the end, he was dragged to Professor Zheng's residence by Professor Cui's hard and soft tactics.
In addition to Professor Zheng himself, there were actually two other visiting teachers there. Including Professor Cui, a total of four people surrounded him, as if they were watching giant pandas in a zoo.
Their curiosity is not difficult to understand. Although there are many newcomers to the academy in each foundation building session, Lu Jing is the only one with such poor training qualifications.
The fact that a person like him, who had almost been sentenced to death, finally embarked on the path of spiritual practice is incredible.
Professor Zheng took a talisman from the bookshelf and handed it to Lu Jing, "I heard from Xia Huai that you have already taken the test once before."
"Yeah." Lu nodded.
"what's the result."
"It's a bit...hard to describe."
Several teachers were not surprised when they heard this. With Lu Jing's cultivation qualifications, even if he was lucky enough to establish a foundation, his subsequent cultivation would not be easy.
This is the same as Xia Huai's foundation building. Everyone already knows the results in advance, but according to the rules of the academy, they still have to take the test.
It's just that Lu Jing and Xia Huai are like two sides of a coin. Although Professor Zheng has been urging Lu Jing to take the supplementary test, he hasn't pushed too hard. A large part of the reason is to take care of Lu Jing's emotions.
"You should still remember the formula. In that case, I won't waste any more nonsense and let's get started."
As Professor Zheng spoke, he placed the incense burner on the table and inserted an incense stick.
And he still held a large handful in his hand, showing that he was ready for a protracted war today.
However, when Lu Jing heard this, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he looked with some embarrassment at the two instructors who were still chatting about the results of this freshmen's foundation building.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" Professor Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just want to tell you. If you want to see the results, you'd better not blink."
"Don't blink, what do you mean?" Professor Zheng blinked, a little confused.
At the beginning of the test, what had to be done was actually very simple, just wait for the person being tested to finish reciting the mantra and light the incense, so the two instructions were very casual.
Even if we don't take into account Lu Jing's bizarre cultivation talent previously, it took almost half a quarter of an hour for the three disciples among the newcomers to have a first-class secret cauldron, Xia Huai, the most qualified among them, to burn out the talisman. time.
According to Lu Jing, it's impossible for a big guy to keep blinking for such a long time.
Lu Jing also knew that no one would believe it if he told it. Anyway, he had already reminded everyone, and he recited the spell without explaining much.
In the next moment, a ball of flame appeared on the talisman in his hand.
Then the talisman was swallowed up by the flames and turned into ashes in an instant, scattering in the wind.
Because Lu Jing had learned from the past once, he was much calmer this time, but none of the four instructors beside him could be as calm as him. Everyone had their mouths wide open, as if they had seen each other. Ghost expression.
One of them had not listened to Lu Jing's words. He just picked up the tea cup and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. When he raised his head again, Lu Jing's hand was already empty. He subconsciously asked, "Where is the talisman? Why don't you still have it?" start?"
But only halfway through saying this, he felt the strange silence around him.
"What did you just do?" Professor Zheng reacted after a moment, and asked in surprise, "Did you directly cast a burning spell to ignite this talisman?"
This was also the first thought in the minds of the other three teachers.
In the past years, no one in the academy had used this kind of cleverness to win the favor of the teachers. Of course, the academy had corresponding plans to deal with this situation.
Before Professor Zheng could finish asking the question, another teacher immediately reached out and picked up some of the ashes that were still floating in the air into his sleeve, and then put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
If it is a fire Taoist method, or the ashes produced after ordinary flames are ignited, there is a big difference between the ashes produced after the talisman ignites spontaneously. The latter will burn very evenly, and the burned ashes will be pure black. There will be no other noise.
After seeing it, the expression on the instructor's face became more and more suspicious. He seemed to be unable to believe the results he observed, but in the end he still said truthfully, "It is indeed the talisman that ignited spontaneously."
"This is impossible! How can anyone's talisman burn so quickly?" Another instructor retorted, "Could it be that this talisman was not drawn well from the beginning?"
"The situation you mentioned is impossible. The talismans used by the academy to test the foundation building results were all drawn by me. I checked them many times afterwards. There can be no mistakes." None of the teachers who checked the ashes before did not take a single step. let.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Professor Cui finally stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay, this is simple, just let him take the test again."
After he said this, he tilted his head and looked at Lu Jing aside, asking for the latter's opinion, "What do you think?"
Of course, Lu Jing had no objection. After hearing what Professor Cui said, he simply stretched out his hand. But this time, Professor Zheng checked it carefully before handing the talisman to Lu Jing.
But the result is still no different from before.
The new talisman burned unceremoniously almost as soon as Lu Jing read out the last word, and the fire was fierce.
The difference was that this time the four instructors across from him followed suit. They listened to Lu Jing's previous suggestions. They held their breath and stared at Lu Jing's palm without blinking, not wanting to let go of any detail.
Unfortunately, because the whole process was so short, they didn't capture many details in the end.
However, after witnessing two rapid spontaneous combustions in succession, the previously worried problems with the talisman were obviously overturned.
It was not until this moment that Professor Zheng and others began to gradually realize what this meant.
"Perfect foundation building?!"
Professor Cui lost his voice. He was so excited when he was talking that he accidentally knocked over the teapot in front of him, but no one cares about such a trivial matter now.
Upon hearing these four words, the remaining three people froze as if a body-holding spell had been cast on them.
Lu Jing was also stunned. He had tried his best not to think about this aspect, but he didn't expect that Professor Cui would bring up the old matter again.
"Is this really the legendary perfect foundation?!" Another teacher's expression also changed drastically. After speaking, he looked at Professor Zheng beside him. The latter's research and understanding of the secret power was the best among the four. In-depth, so he is also the most qualified person to answer this question.
However, Professor Zheng's answer disappointed everyone, "I don't know."
After a pause, he added, "Perfect foundation building is a legendary thing. It is more like a beautiful expectation for practitioners. No one has done it since ancient times. Naturally, no one can determine what it is. Perfect foundation building, but if anyone is closest to this state, it is probably him."
Professor Zheng looked at Lu Jing as he spoke, but what he didn't expect was that the latter's face didn't have any joy of perfect foundation construction at all, but looked quite solemn. This made Professor Zheng couldn't help but praise in his heart. A sentence about Lu Jing’s character.
