Ascension

Chapter 151 The mentors gathered and the decaying ancient tree descended
In the medical room, Shen Jiaoyun and Shaoyao were silent.

One showed shock on his face, while the other had his pupils compressed, looking deeply at the man in front of him.

In 20 years, many achievements have been gathered into one.

Now it has been revealed that these are just the tip of the iceberg, far from all of him.

Able to wash away the dim light and cultivate mutated wizard spirits...

Being able to cross ranks and reach another level in a very short period of time...

The so-called young and frivolous young and frivolous people should refer to such people, right?

Can the huge Canghai Pavilion and the huge Blue Frog Country really accommodate such a monster?
Shen Jiaoyun and Shaoyao were in a daze for a moment.

Ye Hanjun took back the candles, smiled slightly, and reminded him before leaving:

"Then please invite Master Shao to meet me this evening."

"Are we going to start tonight?"

Shaoyao came back to his senses and said to himself:

"That's fine. Let's solve it as soon as possible. It's just a worry..."

……

The footsteps in his ears gradually faded away, and Shen Jiaoyun's distracted eyes regained their focus, and he immediately asked Shaoyao:

"Master Shao, assuming Nie Zhuo is one of the driving forces behind the scenes, what do you think Master Han's chances of winning are?"

The peony rubs the edge of the scroll gently, and the soft voice flows through the heartstrings like water:

"I originally thought it would be a [-]-[-] split at most."

"A young tutor who has just started, and a scholar who is about to change careers, it's hard to say which one is more important."

"But now...as long as the hospital doesn't act stupidly, we have a great chance of winning."

"It's really amazing..."

Shen Jiaoyun murmured to himself:

"I have also met the elite students of the South Academy, the top ten, and the three outstanding students."

"But the special thing about Lord Han seems to be above them."

"The aura exuded by every gesture is completely different."

"You said he is low-key. He can accept the challenge of Ren Wo Kuang in public and put forward his own conditions to the hospital."

"You say he is arrogant. He has obviously achieved shocking cultivation results, but he has not made any big show of it. Only he knows..."

"I can't figure out this kind of character."

Shaoyao recalled:
"From the moment he walked in, he was calm and composed. He didn't feel any awkwardness because his rank was lower than mine."

"You know, even if Bing Ji sees me, he will assume that I am his senior and subconsciously lower his attitude."

"Jun Han is not like that. On the surface he is neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact he regards me as an equal."

“There is no anxiety or embarrassment when communicating with me, it is natural and generous.”

"Only for this point, how many second-level favored masters can do it?"

"Perhaps this is a higher level of 'Heaven's Proud One'..." Shen Jiaoyun nodded in agreement.

"There are still a few hours until evening."

Shaoyao stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and said calmly:
"I think Lord Han will visit the mentors he has met one by one, such as Tu Long, Tong Xuan, Zhi Zhengqing, Jiang Yongnian, etc."

"Let's not be idle. Since we need the support of the hospital to investigate the truth behind this matter, we should also go around and add strength to our team."

……

The setting sun is like blood, with a residual red color.

Lord Ye Han, who was riding on the back of a six-legged ox horse, slowly pulled on the reins.

In his eyes, a low square building appeared.

It is about three stories high, simple and inconspicuous.

At the door... there were two soldiers.

But there was no one around, and no student could be found within a five-kilometer radius.

What you can see along the way are medium and large farms and ranches, focusing on a pastoral style.

——This is the most remote area in the northwest corner of the North Courtyard of Canghai Pavilion.

——This square building is a research institute.

It does not entirely belong to Nie Zhuo, but Nie Zhuo has great power here. He has priority over most of the resources transported to the institute.

"Jun Han, it's better for me to go."

Shaoyao jumped from a big white bird with a wingspan of five meters and stood firmly in front of Lord Ye Han.

"You go up to negotiate. If he has something in his mind, your situation will be very dangerous."

"Then I'll trouble Master Shao."

Ye Hanjun clasped his fists and refused to shirk.

It's nice to be half an outsider...

Anyway, I've done everything I can do, and all that's left is to watch the show.

"Hey, brat."

Jiang Yongnian stood next to Ye Hanjun and asked in a low voice:

"You have no evidence. What if Nie Zhuo denies it?"

"He can deny it, but he has to clear himself of suspicion."

Lord Yehan didn't even look back and just replied:

"As I said before, the hunting of the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group is too fast and too precise. There is an infinite possibility of a traitor in the academy."

"And they pointed out that they wanted to kill me. In the situation I was in at that time, I was just a special assistant coach. Why should I go to such great lengths?"

"So - kill me and capture the witch. This is the easiest answer."

"Nie Zhuo has this suspicion, this motive, and this ability. Once the hospital knows about it, even if it's a fluke, it won't be possible for him to just sit idly by, right?"

"Things now are a bit out of control..."

Jiang Yongnian glanced at the sky above his head, tried his best to see a black spot, and said with emotion:
"If you offend Zhi Zhengqing, you won't be able to find so many helpers."

"But offending the old boy... Hehe, there were a few old immortals who appeared in the freshmen competition that day, and there were a few old immortals who were willing to use their remaining energy."

"And Ji Yan, this kid will soon be a real star mentor."

"He received a favor from Lao Tong when he was young. Just killing a ghost hand would not satisfy him. He still feels grudges about it."

"You are making a strong attack this time, and with so many people together, those fourth-level vice-deans, even if they can't bear it and want to be partial, they can only pretend not to see it."

"Oh?" Lord Ye Han smiled, "Even if I have told you that I have been promoted to the second level and the witch has successfully mutated, Nie Zhuo still has such huge energy that the deputy dean can never forget it?"

"He is already approaching the peak of the third level, and it is estimated that he is only three to five years away from promotion."

"The college has been raising it for so long, and it's so hard to wait for the day it blooms, but you want to pick it off... Tell me, shouldn't you be depressed?"

"Three to five years..." Ye Hanjun chuckled twice, "In three to five years, how far do you think I can go?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yongnian looked at his side face suspiciously, "Don't you think you can break through to the fourth level?"

"No... brat, I believe your potential is greater than the three heroes. It is not difficult to break through to the third level."

"But you have to know that level 3 is completely different from level 4. How many people, no matter how talented they are, stay where they are because they can't find a way to change careers, and end up growing old with regrets."

"This is the same as the ascension and evolution of the beloved spirit. For the beloved master, this threshold is difficult to reach the sky."

"If this were not the case, how could a fourth-level lord be granted a title casually in the Giant Frog Pond?"

"If you ask me, you can be a little arrogant, but not too arrogant."

"Otherwise, if you hit a wall in the future and you can't accept it all of a sudden, it will be really worse than death..."

"You old man, you're so cute..."

Lord Ye Han seemed to be smiling, but did not say what was in his heart.

Changing jobs is indeed a huge hurdle that blocks many talented people.

But for the direct descendants of the Ye family, if they work hard all their lives but cannot even reach the fourth rank, they are like mud that cannot be lifted up.

What we really need to worry about is the second job transfer from 6 to 7. This is even more difficult. There is a huge difference between getting over it and not.

"Um...who is your Excellency?"

The conversation was interrupted because the stage on the other side had already been set up.

The soldiers stationed there are just two first-level little people.

Shaoyao just walked over and let out a little breath. They became nervous and subconsciously clenched the talismans in their hands.

"Inform Nie Zhuo and tell him that Shaoyao is here to discuss something."

Shaoyao took out the silver-white five-pointed badge from the dimensional bag and shook it gently.

"I'll wait for him at the door and ask him to come see me as soon as possible."

"Ah...it turns out to be Master Shao..."

The two soldiers didn't know if they had really heard of peony or not.

One nodded and bowed in salute, while the other looked embarrassed and hesitantly said:

"Master Shao, I'm afraid it's not the right time for you to find Researcher Nie..."

"He stayed in the laboratory day and night and had no contact with the outside world at all. Not to mention us, even when other researchers asked him for advice, he ignored them..."

"What if it's an urgent matter?" Shaoyao said with a light smile.

"This one……"

The two soldiers looked at each other and said, "Master Shao, we are just gatekeepers, please don't embarrass us..."

"Other researchers are easy to say, but Researcher Nie is famous for being stubborn and eccentric. As long as he doesn't want to pay attention to the outside world, we really can't notify him..."

Shaoyao stopped talking.

Her eyes fell on the soldier's face, and the two of them began to sweat, and they didn't dare to let out a breath.

"Then there is no way."

"This Nie Zhuo... I have to meet him no matter what today."

She raised her green jade fingers and flickered gently, and the talismans in the hands of the two soldiers appeared in her palms.

The two people's eyes widened, and just when they were about to speak, they saw a big white bird falling from the sky, one with one claw, and grabbed them at the same time.

"Uh...uh..."

As they soared upward, the two soldiers were gagged and unable to make any screams.

But they watched in horror as people riding on spirits kept appearing from the four directions of the institute: southeast, northwest, and southeast.

That monster that looks like a giant stone ball... seems to be a "Rolling Stone Beast"?
That frog-like monster with wings on its back... seems to be a "flying-winged frog"?
That big bird with a mouth as big as a basin and a wingspan of ten meters... seems to be a "big-billed vulture"?
All of these... are all the children of Yuying? ? ?
The two soldiers were dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a formation before and thought someone was invading Canghai Pavilion.But the figures on the backs of the beloved spirits, whether middle-aged or old, all wear silver-white five-pointed badges on their chests.

This badge, set against the blood-like setting sun... is very dazzling!
Are they all formal mentors? ? ?

Why besiege the institute? ? ?

What exactly happened? ? ?
The soldier's brain is going to explode.

No one answered their questions, so they could only think wildly.

but……

When a breeze blew across their faces and a flying fish covered with blue scales fell from the sky, the two soldiers were dizzy and almost suffocated.

Windrunner·Strict discipline?
Ji Yan, the popular mentor who is about to become a celebrity mentor?
Why did he show up? ? ?

"Since you don't want to come out, let's go in and look for him."

Ji Yan fell to the ground, and the contracted spirit "Flying Fish in the Sky" flicked its tail. The door of the research institute exploded with a bang, sinking into a big hole.

After the second flick, the metal door fell down with a crash, and a severely deformed door frame clearly appeared in front of him.

"Hey, I haven't had fun for a long time, I want to go too!"

Hong Li, who has rosacea, picked his nose and appeared in the field of view leisurely.

His contracted spirit is a "Vajra Bear".

This kind of barbarian spirit that evolved from the "violent bear" is extremely energetic. It can stay full of energy without eating or drinking for five days and five nights.

Of course, it's a little too old to be in its prime.

But there is so much fun to be had, how can you miss it so easily?

The Vajra Bear howled and slapped the bear's paw casually. The door frame was broken, and the entrance and exit that could not accommodate it became passable.

"Ah, ah, this has not yet been convicted, you people..."

Zhu Zixin sighed one after another, probably because she didn't expect that she would be so aggressive in her senior year.

She whistled, and then a large golden ant broke through the ground and emerged, followed by a row of small silver-white ants, which poured into the research institute in an orderly manner.

"Little ones, no killing is allowed! Keep an eye on all the idlers! Control the field! Control the field first!"

"Try not to destroy things! An inconspicuous little object in the research institute may be worth hundreds or even thousands of spiritual stones. If it turns out to be a mistake, we will have to compensate according to the price... Do you hear that?!"

"One! Two! One! Two! One! Two!..."

The fetus of the jade baby named "Big-headed Golden Ant", along with a group of "Small-headed Silver Ants" ranging from those of Xiazhao to clay sculptures, shouted neat slogans, divided their troops, and began to carry out the master's orders.

"There are so many instructors surrounding us outside. We definitely won't be able to escape. Do we want to go in?"

Jiang Yongnian touched his beard and unknowingly pulled out a few strands. He felt a toothache and said:

"Anyway, you all acted recklessly, and the man named Nie was really wronged... Let's all take the blame together, and then we can find a way to apologize and make amends..."

"Forget it, it's nothing interesting."

"Master Ji and Master Hong are taking the lead. Unless Nie Zhuo is not in the research institute, there is no way we can't catch him."

"Once caught, it won't be my turn to be interrogated. I'll just wait for the result."

Ye Hanjun shook his head and said indifferently.

"All right, all right."

Jiang Yongnian sighed:

"Ji Yan might use strong tactics."

"But Lao Zhu will definitely stop it. She doesn't want the uncertain matter to cause too much trouble, otherwise it will end badly..."

--boom! ! !

Just as he was talking, there was an explosion, and a big hole was opened in the outer wall of the institute. Something pierced the sky and hit the ground heavily.

That turned out to be... a bloody arm?
Zong-colored long-haired... a Vajra bear? !

Ye Hanjun's dull expression suddenly disappeared, his eyes narrowed like scabbards, and his whole person instantly entered a state of combat readiness.

- Killing intent!
——Very strong murderous intention! !

An absolutely terrifying dark creature with strong hatred and hatred... appeared in his perception!

This life force sweeping over like a tsunami... is not Yuying!It can’t be Yuying!

"Cancel the encirclement! Retreat! Retreat!"

Lord Ye Han didn't speak, but Ji Yan was the one who spoke.

The flying fish in the sky broke through another wall and flew out in great embarrassment, almost falling to the ground.

It was injured, its fins were scratched, and blue-red blood was flowing.

But that's not the point. Ji Yan is sitting on top, pulling Hong Li, whose face is pale, with gloomy blue eyes.

"boom!!"

A figure wrapped in red light flew out along with a collapsed wall.

That was Zhu Zixin, this elderly woman, who actually activated a fire-attributed protective treasure.

She was not seriously injured but was severely shaken.

"Activate SOS! Everyone! Activate SOS!"

"Nie Zhuo is conducting horrific human experiments in the institute! Some missing students actually appear here! Even if the Four Ghosts Mercenary Group has nothing to do with him, there is no way the academy can accommodate such evil people!"

"Drip-drip-"

Ye Hanjun activated the help function in his personal badge, and a sharp and harsh voice rushed into the sky.

He was too decisive, but the other instructors frowned and hesitated a little because they didn't fully understand what happened.

"Drip-drip-"

Jiang Yongnian, with a solemn look on his face, activated his call for help.

"Drip-drip-"

Ji Yan, who left Hong Li in the care of another instructor, activated the call for help, then rode the flying fish in the sky, coiling in the sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Spider web cracks appeared on the walls in all directions of the institute.

After hearing several roars, the institute collapsed from the inside out, and a large gray-black tree rose from the ground, a full 50 meters high.

Such a size is obviously not very eye-catching compared to the old trees that are often a hundred meters away in the forest.

But its trunk was too thick, full of pits and wounds, and gray-black sap was constantly spurting out.

The liquid splashed onto the house, and the solid rock made a sizzling sound. After a while, it dissolved into an unknown semi-solidified substance, emitting a pungent smell.

"Guna hey!!!"

The big tree shook wildly, and its roots were pulled out from deep underground, causing the institute to collapse further.

Lord Yehan stepped back, staring straight at the branches of the big tree, his expression of indifference palpable.

There are at least twenty human corpses... hanging on it!
Some of them can be vaguely identified. They must have been young people when they were alive, maybe students from Canghai Pavilion.

Some of them are still wearing laboratory clothes. They are either staff or researchers.

They...died here long ago?

"Retreat! Nie Zhuo completed his job transfer ahead of schedule!"

"I don't know what he transformed into. Considering this greatly mutated contracted spirit... I'm afraid it's some kind of evil and polluting power. It's impossible for all of us to compete with him!"

Ji Yan shouted, and the big gray-black tree in a furious posture suddenly threw something like mud upwards.

The flying fish in the sky dodged quickly, and their embarrassed appearance was nowhere to be seen as calm as before.

"Drip-drip-"

The mentors surrounding the institute, whether middle-aged or old, were activating their personal badges while doing their best to retreat.

"Qualification verification!"

"I know...it's the "Rotten Scholar"! "

Lord Yehan, who was riding a six-legged cow and horse, shouted to Jiang Yongnian, who was riding a ghost spider next to him:
"Although the power level is only D level, but combined with the 4th level... it is very dangerous!"

"I have read Nie Zhuo's information. The "Fruit Vine Tree" he originally contracted with is just a psychic plant and belongs to the Seal of the Demon. "

"But with the rotten scholar's active power "Corruption Transformation", a contracted spirit can acquire the characteristics of rot after enduring great pain, becoming more powerful than before and at the same time... annihilating spiritual intelligence! "

"It is no longer a favored spirit of the demon, but a favored spirit of the underworld. You must not touch its mucus, otherwise it will not be purified in time, and the whole person may turn into a pool of blood!"

"!" Jiang Yongnian was shocked.

In a state of emergency, he could no longer care about Lord Han, so why could he discern this information at a glance.

He looked back at the madly rotting old tree and a gray-haired old man wearing glasses who appeared on the branches. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but angrily said:
"Good on you Nie Zhuo!"

"The college supports you, but you are so cruel and cruel, and you have done so many dark and vicious things behind your back!"

"Dark and vicious?"

Nie Zhuo tore off his research clothes, and two-thirds of his exposed skin was ulcerated.

The way the pus was constantly flowing didn't look like a human being. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was a deformed and twisted evil demi-human monster.

"It took me year after year! I finally completed my job transfer!"

"Shouldn't you be cheering for me? Why are you afraid of me? One by one...why are you running away so far!"

"Puff! Puff puff!"

The dead Vajra bear hangs from the rotting ancient tree.

The rotten ancient tree is pulling away part of its roots and piercing into the body of the Vajra Bear, greedily absorbing its flesh and blood.

"Bang—bang bang—"

More branches grew out, and the stench that soared into the sky swept outwards. Within a five-kilometer radius of the institute, it was like an untreated garbage incineration site.

This is the fourth stage of the life level of the Famous Spirit...the embryo of the Wheel of Life!
There are more than 500 official instructors in the huge Canghai Pavilion, but only a handful of them can reach the 4th level!
"This is a huge hornet's nest..."

"If it weren't for this collective action, we don't know how long he will stay dormant, and when he really breaks out, what kind of disaster will it bring to the college..."

"No, no one of us can match his superiority!"

"So many instructors activated the distress signal at the same time... Should the deputy dean be able to sense it, right? I can only pray that they arrive quickly and suppress this villain quickly!"
