Above Destiny

Chapter 259 Losing both the wife and the army (Thanks to the leader of SSR Abyss Sun

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhong just sneered and handed over the sword.

I'm not afraid that his little hands may be dirty again. Instead, I hope that he will take the sword away from me in front of me again - I won't say anything, and then you will have to taste the power of Tian Ting!
It’s a pity that this time Ji Jue’s hands and feet were extremely clean.

Be careful and tread carefully.

There was a slight clang sound, lightning appeared in the empty room, and light floated in the darkness.

In the void, a bright light leaped out, as light as a flying bird.

The long sword had no edge, was rough and heavy, and on the sword spine, strands of ink flowed and entangled on the sword body, floating and illusory like fog. In it, countless scenes appeared and dissipated like phantoms, but they were not real. In a glimpse, he saw the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth.

The sword stem is five inches long, the sword body is three feet long, and it weighs nine liang, three pounds and twelve taels.

It is of the utmost length and of the utmost importance, and can be evaluated as of the highest order.

The moment he picked it up, the records in the book "Sword Physique" that Professor Ye had given him in the past emerged in his mind. As his fingers passed over the sword's spine, he could feel the solemn and majestic aura contained in it.

In the Zhoutian structure of three above and six below, the blue sky and the yellow spring, the essence of the twelve supreme virtues is complete without any shortcomings. And in it, the concise and clear spiritual essence sequences are integrated into one without any flaws.

With the Tianyuan Dao in the core, he controls the ether, mirror and ruins.

All of them are rare and precious blessings in the world - the [Response to the Lu Diagram] of the Tianyuan series; the [Knowledge of the Past and the Future] of the Tai series; the [Dream Bubble] of the Mirror; and the [The Changes of the World] of the Ruins.

What's more important is that after the Zhoutian structure was connected to each other, under Zhou Zhong's modulation, it formed a blessing chain that Ji Jue had never heard of...

Ji Jue's eyelids jumped, and he looked up at Zhou Zhong: "Such a masterpiece, now I have to congratulate Master Zhou, and add another golden ribbon."

Zhou Zhong just stroked his beard and sneered complacently, without answering.

Do you even need to say that?

Isn’t it just for this that I can show you one?
For such a long time, many people have spent their entire lives and even their entire fortunes trying to break through the old records, but they have not been able to do so. Nowadays, every new blessing chain that appears can be said to be enough to become the headline news of the association.

The fame brought by this is enough to make any craftsman become a hotshot overnight and enjoy all the glory. Not to mention how much advantage it can bring to one's own promotion within the association and how much important voice it can gain within the faction, the patent fees within 40 years alone are enough for Zhou Zhong to retire from then on and count money until his hands cramp.

Who among us has been working hard silently for so many years, isn't it just for one day to act out something that will shock everyone?
When Zhou Zhong thought of Ye Xian's expression when he learned the news from his students, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The frustration caused by Ye Xian's targeting at the report meeting seven years ago suddenly dissipated.

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!

Don’t look down on the poor old people!
However, before he could say anything, he heard the sound of amazement from the side.

"That's it, that's it."

And when he turned around and looked at his side, his eyes were wide open.

In Ji Jue's hand, the blessed long sword, which was arrogant and sharp and would never submit to others, was wielded like an arm, and the sword kept ringing as the spiritual energy flowed.

With just a casual wave of the hand, a streak of ink appeared in the void, lingering for a long time and looking very sharp.

Not only that, he also mobilized the blessing of silence, which was circulated and transformed. A wisp of dreamy mist diffused from the void cut by the sword.

In a flash, everything in the room seemed to have fallen into the furnace of hell again.

The violent temperature spread, burning the soul.

But in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared!
"I understand."

Ji Jue suddenly sighed.

Although he was unable to unleash its true power due to his own limitations, in the blink of an eye, he was able to gain insight into the composition and principles of the blessing chain as his spiritual essence was transformed.

"Amazing! Really amazing!"

"The Yingtu Scroll strengthens the control of the Heavenly Origin, the Extreme Knowledge enhances the perception and insight into details, the illusion replaces the reality, and the Ten Thousand Changes in the World is used to stimulate matter to adapt to the changes...

More importantly, the many records engraved when the sword was forged are natural models!

Through Tong Shan's stimulation, he can use telekinesis as a basis to recreate natural disasters out of thin air, and unlimitedly approach the destruction that has occurred in the past. At the same time, he can also avoid being harmed by Yingtu Shoulu and Menghuan Bubble Shadow. The four are closely linked, and it is really a perfect match!"

What the hell are you...

Zhou Zhong's hands tightened, and he subconsciously pulled out a strand of his beard. His eyelids twitched wildly: Those are all my words! Those are all words I used to show off!
Where the hell did you find the instruction manual?
I haven’t written it yet!
Seeing his newly created creation fall into Ji Jue's hands, it was activated instantly without any resistance, like a good girl. And the blessing chain that he painstakingly created was seen through in an instant...

He was already starting to sweat.

Oh no, this grandson... Could it be that he is just like Ye Xian, and starts to do bad things to himself by writing his thesis when he gets home?

I hope that by the time my article is published on the headlines, all the related papers will be taken up by that bastard Ji Jue.

The soup was drunk up before I even had time to eat the meat!
The more Ji Jue analyzed and praised, the more flustered and nervous he became.

Even after he finished speaking with a beaming face, he still felt unsatisfied. He held the sword and said, "I see that this blessing chain spans four systems and has the essence of Tianyuan and Ether. Now it only lacks a good name. Why not call it..."

“…Heaven and earth are cruel!”

Not only did he lose the right to show off as a commentator, but seeing that the naming rights were about to be snatched away by Ji Jue, Zhou Zhong no longer cared about being reserved. He snatched the sword and spoke abruptly, interrupting Ji Jue's words:
"——The name of the blessing chain is 'Heaven and Earth Are Unkind'!"

A good name indeed.

Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.

Translated, it means that all beings are equal and will suffer the same disasters.

Ji Jue nodded: "Then let me see this sword..."

"The name of the sword is 'Huibi'!"

Zhou Zhong stared. He had never seen such a quick answer and reaction before.

He can no longer act calmly and pretend to be an expert.

If you go any slower, Ji Jue's dirty little hands might touch his patent application...

Now, the way he looked at Ji Jue was full of vigilance, just like a famous movie star looking at those unknown actors who lay on the red carpet without moving and wanted to walk for half an hour to walk a few meters.

How can you be so good at rubbing?

Why not just move the red carpet to your house!
He snatched the sword from Ji Jue's hand and carefully wiped off the dust and fingerprints on it, meaning that he had looked at it and that was enough.

Stop it!
Seeing how vigilant Lao Deng was, Ji Jue sighed helplessly: After all, the prejudice is too deep.

You are not happy even when I praise you!
He thought for a moment, then imitated Professor Ye's expressions and movements, indifferently adjusting his non-existent glasses and pretending to be about to speak.

Zhou Zhong's movements suddenly froze and his alertness doubled.

I don’t know how deep the trauma caused by Professor Ye’s criticism was... Ji Jue felt a surge of sympathy in his heart, but he did not hesitate at all and reached out his hand decisively.

"Congratulations, Master Zhou, for making a great step forward. I just wonder... can you let me share in your congratulations?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers together and raised his eyebrows to signal with his eyes.

An application form with Zhou Zhong's signature was put into Ji Jue's hands at the speed of light, for fear that he would continue to pester him.

The last signature was received.

You've touched and rubbed, and it would be impolite to stay after doing it for free.

Easy to get beaten.

Ji Jue took a big step back and bowed to say goodbye: "I have gained a lot today. Thank you Master Zhou for your guidance. I will definitely visit you again when I have time!"

Don't you dare come here!

unlucky!

Zhou Zhong's face looked as ugly as if a horse had died. He just glanced at him one last time and pointed at the door.

Signaling him to hurry up and get out of here.

He just said at the end: "I don't owe her anything."

In Quancheng, although his grandson was beaten up by Ji Jue, Zhou Zhong was saved by Ye Xian when Duan Mu rebelled. After so many years of ups and downs, he suffered countless losses and proud moments.

He didn't want to let a momentary grudge affect his career, nor did he want to be forever inferior to someone else and be looked down upon by Ye Xian because of this momentary favor.

only……

I’m afraid I’ve lost everything this time!
Lost the wife and broke down again.

I had just stood up and pedaled twice when the bicycle ran away with my luggage... What was going on?
I originally thought that just teaching some trivial things and giving a little guidance would be enough to put aside the past grudges. It was such a good opportunity. I couldn't blame myself if Ji Jue couldn't learn it.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened.

Just for a moment.

I couldn't defend it for a moment.

At the moment when the furnace was about to explode and Zhou Zhong was trying his best to maintain Zhou Tian, ​​Ji Jue, that bastard, seized the opportunity.

Take a look.

But with just one glance, at the end, the guy's operating logic and style had become completely different from before. He was no longer passive, and even actively cooperated with himself to observe more changes and structures.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

There is no doubt that in that moment, like seeing a leopard through a tube, that guy has touched the essence and essence of all things returning to their source.

More like, analogy...

"...Chengchuan Juxing?"

He stroked the remaining marks on the furnace, read Ji Jue's operations, guessed and analyzed, and in the moment of realization, his fingers couldn't help but twitch and clenched.

It turned out to be the Thousand Islands area on the endless sea, where the Nanyun school’s skills were passed down in the past?
Moreover, the level is not just ordinary deep, it has already reached the advanced level!

But didn't the Nanyun faction split and fell into internal strife more than 40 years ago, and the main branch fell into the abyss? Where did he learn this?
It couldn't be that he was locked up in the workshop by Jianyuan and taught by that old guy himself, right?

His mind raced, and he almost laughed at his own guess.

However, his expression became increasingly gloomy.

A silent sigh.

Even if it's just a brief peek, it's impossible to grasp the whole picture, but if you understand, you understand; if you can, you can. Sometimes, isn't it just that little bit of inspiration that's lacking?

Even though Ye Xian is no longer willing to spy on his inheritance, if Ji Jue can grow and improve in the future, he may be able to create his own school.

"After so many years of suffering, I thought I could make further progress today."

In silence, he laughed at himself, "I didn't expect to become a stepping stone for others in the future."

Outside the door, watching Ji Jue leave, Zhou Cheng, who was wearing a plaster cast, limped in, suppressing his unhappiness and asking in confusion: "You just gave the things to him like this?"

Zhou Zhong looked back at the face that was as innocent as a college student, and the stupidity that was so clear that he couldn't help but sigh: Is all I gave him just a signature?
"if not?"

Zhou Zhong asked back: "In the early years, I was desperate, and Tong Gong helped me, so I had the workshop behind and the current style...

When Mr. Tong needs me, I will naturally devote all my energy and strength to my work, and I dare not slack off at all. But if it weren't for him today, I'm afraid I would owe him even more.

You always say that I am unwilling to teach you that all things return to their source, but I ask you, if you were in his position today, would you be able to have even a third of his responsibility and decision-making power? "

Zhou Cheng was stunned and silent.

Many times, I wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I just think... the craftsman exam is different from other exams. There are so many things involved. If you use your reputation to guarantee him, what if he performs poorly and fails the exam?"

"You should pray that he makes it."

Zhou Zhong waved his hand impatiently, "If he can't pass the current exam, then there's no hope for you in this life."

Zhou Cheng was stunned, his blood boiling, and he opened his mouth subconsciously: "It's just an exam, I also..."

"You can not."

Zhou Zhong shook his head decisively and interrupted him.

“This year is different,” he said.

The Taiyi Ring craftsman examination is held every three years. At most, there are sixty-one people who pass the exam, which is almost one-third of the candidates at that time.

The examination held twenty-seven years ago was hailed as a "special examination" by the craftsmen. Countless people passed the exam and it is still talked about today.

And when the number of people who passed was the lowest, there was no one.

【0】

Twenty-one years ago, none of the more than 200 candidates were spared!

completely annihilated……

The industry was also in an uproar, the craftsmen were shocked, and even the Taiyi Ring was under tremendous pressure that year, but in the end, it still chose to announce the results.

The person who presided over that exam was Gustav Schmidt, one of the eight directors of Taiyi Ring and the leader of the Shisheng School.

It was under his leadership that the Shisheng School, which was a small school in the middle level of the association, changed its previous fence-sitting style and forged ahead with determination. In just over forty years, it won the championship and became a governing school, and was even able to compete with the Zhuan School, which had the largest number of members.

Its main purpose is "better to have less than to have too much" and "better to have less than to have more".

In his opinion, the association has become increasingly bloated and what it is today because it has allowed mediocrity to run rampant and incompetent people to mess around.

Since he assumed the supervisory responsibilities, the rules within the association have become increasingly strict, and countless people have complained.

It is said that he even intends to propose a craftsman assessment system. Even if you get a craftsman license, don't sit back and relax. If you fail to pass the evaluation and assessment, you will be demoted or your license will be taken away... If it was not so radical that the scavengers were alarmed and came out to take charge, the whole association would probably be turned upside down.

According to rumors this year, he has applied again for the position of host and supervisor of the examinations, intending to take drastic measures to put an end to the increasingly impetuous atmosphere and attitude among the apprentices in order to clean up the association.

Ordinary mediocre people don't even have time to hide, so why would they voluntarily go and die?
Aren't you afraid of being described as 'hopeless' and never having a chance to pass in your lifetime?
Seeking death.

It is said that Director Gustav hates the so-called geniuses and those who are arrogant and do not follow the rules and think they are exceptions the most.

It was he who proposed the rule that no applications would be accepted if the apprenticeship training period was less than three years.

Zhou Zhong wanted to see if Ye Xian could get what he wanted by sending his precious student right under the other party's nose. And whether Gustav dared to use his toughness on Ye Xian.

I was just about to eat the melon, but why did my stupid grandson jump onto the chopping board and get under the knife?

My memory really hasn't improved at all!

"Just limp for now."

He turned around one last time, glanced at his frustrated grandson, and waved his hand indifferently: "It's not easy to encounter a little frustration. It depends on how long you can remember this little pain."

As the saying goes, shame brings courage.

If you can't get rid of that meaningless arrogance and pride, then you'll just be a waste your whole life, get some shares, and be kept in the workshop.

Zhou Zhong turned away.

Only Zhou Cheng was left standing there in a daze.

After a long time, he hurriedly chased after him with the help of crutches.

In the sky outside the workshop, the stars are bright and there are no clouds.

Under the same night, some people drive their cars, enjoy the evening breeze, sing songs comfortably, and look forward to the future. Some people toss and turn, their eyes full of bloodshot, and finally make a painful decision. Others are under the lights of the workshop, tormented by the ancient scrolls and the furnace. Or they push the door open with full confidence, waiting for the arrival of the trial.

Federation, Empire, Middle-earth, Thousand Islands... In the same high night sky, the stars are moving and emitting light. Occasionally, when someone looks up, it illuminates those quiet or confused eyes.

From beginning to end, the stars were silent.

Just move forward.

　Ah, it's the end of the month... please give me a ticket ORZ
