Ether, a kind of magic energy particle that exists in the atmosphere, is the fifth basic element in building the world after water, fire, air, and earth. It was defined by the ancient Greek magister Aristotle.
Ether is everywhere, but it is invisible and intangible to ordinary people.
Only by awakening to the truth and becoming a magister can one absorb the ether and use this extraordinary power.
Even if you only withstand a small amount of ether tempering, you can still obtain a powerful body that transcends human beings.
There is a huge gap between magisters and mortals.
"Okay, okay..."
How could Antonini, who usually took advantage of the preferential treatment of foreign students to dominate, withstand such fierce pressure?
At this time, cold sweat broke out, soaking his whole body.
He didn't dare to say a word and pressed his hand on the stone carving of the book.
A bright red book with thick pages appeared above Antonini's head.
"Candidate Antonini, Awakening to the Truth "Empire of Cotton."
The whale announced calmly, as if nothing had happened, and continued to shout in a programmed manner:
"Next, Li Hua."
Neither Zhou Ke nor Li Hua guessed Antonini's truth, and it was a pity that the bet was void.
However, the two of them were heartless, and their emotions came and went quickly.
Li Hua patted Zhou Ke's shoulder confidently, "Ke Zai, wait for the good news from dad!"
"Why are you talking to your father? No matter how old or young you are."
"After the exam, I'll invite you to M's for a big dinner."
"If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father!"
Zhou Ke didn't have much hope at first.
Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected. Li Hua, this kid, quietly detected the seventh level of the power of reason, which is a superior qualification.
He became the second talented person besides Su Wumi and stole the show.
I hate my mortal enemies Liu Xing and Antonini so much that my teeth itch.
Unfortunately, the truth about Li Hua's awakening is not very shocking. It is a book with a shoddy cover and very few pages, like an old book from a magazine stand.
The name is "Extremely Powerful and Practical Unrestricted Fighting Techniques", and the author is unknown.
Zhou Ke had vaguely heard of this book somewhere.
It seems that on the earth's Internet, netizens are making jokes about how the sect's mental method is the "Criminal Code" and that it is the only sect with a killing record since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Oh, the truth doesn't hold up well. Maybe I have to go home and inherit the family business."
Li Hua scratched his blond hair and walked back, with the truth floating in the air behind him that he had no time to put away.
This does not make him look like a wise mage, but like a charlatan who performs tricks on the street.
"It seems that reading pornographic books and eating alone will really result in retribution, Jie Jie Jie." Zhou Ke glanced at the yellowed book cover and teased mercilessly.
The relationship between the two of them is that of bad friends, with each other scolding and laughing at each other.
It's much more comfortable to get along with them than with those "close confidants" who are hypocritical and sweet-talking.
"Can this be the same thing? I really hope it wakes up and a copy of "The Silver Lotus" comes out. I can at least read it."
Li Hua showed a relaxed performance, with three hundred and sixty lines, and he was ranked number one in every line.
The truth is just the icing on the cake, and we do not necessarily have to rely on the truth to find a way out.
His idea is very rational. After all, the majority of this world is still ordinary people.
"Next, Zhou Ke."
"Finally it's my turn." When Zhou Ke heard his name, he bumped fists with Li Hua and stepped onto the steps of the flag-raising platform.
He was not in a hurry to do the test. He first said hello to the cetacean examiner next to him who seemed not to be trifled with:
"Good afternoon, teacher."
While speaking, he sorted out the scattered fragments in his memory.
He remembered that qualifications are divided into nine levels, with three levels for each level. Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the power of reason are inferior, levels 4, 5 and 6 are medium, and levels 7, 8 and 9 are superior.
The higher the qualification level, the higher the efficiency of interpreting the truth. The speed of absorbing ether will increase with the tide, and the speed of self-improvement will also show a big gap.
"Yeah, okay." Jingmu responded indifferently, but he still had a good impression in his heart. Zhou Ke was the first student to greet him.
Zhou Ke also finished sorting out his memory at this time, nodded, and muttered to himself:
"Later, I should be born with full qualifications, and then I will tell you the twin truths, and then the next chapter will become 'Resurrection, my love book!'"
"..."
Only Whale Eyes could hear these words. He withdrew his favorable impression of Zhou Ke and raised a question mark.
It seems to be saying: Classmate, did you go to the wrong set?
"You should test it first." Whale Eyes is not easy to evaluate.
"okay."
Zhou Ke thought for a while, and instead of putting his hand on the upper part of the globe that most people had touched, he took out the lower part.
The posture is a little obscene.
The eyebrows of Whale Eyes twitched and he couldn't hold it back, "What are you doing? Molesting a stone sculpture?"
"Ah, I'm a little bit mysophobic, and I'm quite resistant to places that have been touched by many people." Zhou Ke's face remained as usual, and he played with his palms twice more.
"...."
Breathe in, breathe out, work is important, don't worry about what he does.
Whale Eyes dismissed the distracting thoughts, raised his head to look at the clear planetary ring expanded from the globe, and announced as expected and with regret:
"The power of reason is first-level, but the qualifications are inferior."
"ah......."
When Zhou Ke heard the result, his expression did not change much, neither sad nor happy.
Now that the matter is over, let's settle down.
He is a person who is used to taking things as they come, and he will not be overly obsessed with facts that cannot be changed by human power.
It’s better to pay more attention to what you have than what you can’t get.
Many people don't understand this truth and are always pursuing the beauty of others, but forget the beauty in their own hands.
In the end, even the remaining good things about myself were lost.
There is something to say: I forgot to shrink my hand when I had time behind me, but I wanted to turn back when I had no way to go.
What can never be filled... is the little human heart.
"Aren't you disappointed?"
Whale Eyes noticed Zhou Ke's mood and asked curiously.
He originally thought that Zhou Ke, who had made such bold statements, would not be able to accept the extremely contrasting results.
"Disappointed." Zhou Ke turned around and looked at the indifferent teachers and students on the playground.
"I'm so disappointed. No one laughed at me. How will I be slapped in the face and skyrocket in the future? If it doesn't feel better, how will the audience buy it?"
Most of the students kept their heads down, praying that they would be as natural as possible on stage and not be embarrassed.
The remaining more courageous people looked up, said nothing, or deserted their neighbors.
This is like a teacher who memorizes the text in class. Regardless of whether he or she can memorize it, everyone still hopes that the teacher will not memorize it.
This is the normal state of the world. It doesn't matter whether others are doing well or not.
Only Zhou Ke and Li Hua, two shameless and heartless people, could laugh.
"I'm really disappointed." Zhou Kechao clenched his fists hard and sighed deeply.
Whale Eyes was speechless for a while. Everyone else wanted to be in the limelight. Why was Zhou Ke eager to be laughed at?
"This kid...isn't in his right mind."
However, he quite admired Zhou Ke's indifferent attitude in dealing with things, and nodded secretly: "Come on to the second stone sculpture, and awaken to your truth."
Zhou Ke came to the stone carving on the book page, looked at it for a second, and then picked out a lower part that was far away from popular thoughts and touched it.
The corners of Whale Eye's mouth twitched.
Gray fog filled the air silently, and an ancient book with slightly thin pages appeared above Zhou Ke's head. The cover was dark gray and the fonts were silver-plated.
"Candidate Zhou Ke, Awakening to the Truth "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", written by Aesop."
When Whale Eyes saw the title of the book, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It would be nice if it was the whole "Aesop's Fables", but... it's just a short story.
The growth limit has been fixed.
"Not bad. When you fully interpret the truth, you should be able to reach the level of a 'Candlewick' level mage."
The whale said comfortingly, recording the file information on the tablet, and then asked: "Now tell me, what is the specific ability of truth?"
"..."
【You are guilty】
Zhou Ke didn't respond, or he didn't hear Whale's words at all. The strange and resentful sounds filled his mind, and he couldn't tell the difference between men and women.
The sound drew his soul into the dark ocean of chaos, where sin and horror were mixed.
Pale snowflakes floated and fell upward, like fragments of the world falling apart.
After taking a closer look, I realized that they were not snowflakes or fragments at all, but words one after another.
Every word is engraved with sin, every word... is sinful!
On the ground are countless bloody hands entangled with iron thorns, climbing and swaying, as if they are dragging people into the abyss.
In the center surrounded by bloody hands, a book floats quietly.
All-black book cover, holy white text - "Crime and Punishment", written by Dostoevsky.
"Is this...the second truth?"
