Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 427: Psychic Energy is Poisonous
"Come on, come on, make a deal and leave."

More than ten thousand young men were evenly sprayed all over the island.

Their adventure began.

The admissions officers from various departments who were watching the video in the dream space also started their own games.

Yes, it's a small game.

That is betting on rankings.

What ranking?

This is the ranking of the top ten students among this group of more than 10,000 students.

In fact, the top ten are basically beyond doubt.

After all, when the talent test was conducted, the results of the top ten were already known. As I said before, in this world, talent is more important than hard work. Let alone the ability to understand something, you may not understand it even after reading it a hundred times, but a person with a high IQ can learn it after reading it once. This is an irreparable gap.

So, this time the guess is, the exact ranking of the top ten.

Of course, gambling is prohibited in the East Country, so this little tradition does not involve money. Even if you guess correctly, there is no reward. It is simply a sign of your ability.

"Sister, who should we choose?"

In Ye Xingchen's hand, there is a list with the names of the ten most talented people at the moment.

"Where did you get this?"

"Hehe, of course it's Bai Xiaosheng's Tianji Tower. We don't allow gambling here, but in Bao'an County, due to historical reasons, you can gamble. There are even casinos and the sales there are huge."

"so what?"

"Senior sister, don't look at me like that. Okay, I admit that I bought Li Zhongren, but you have to understand me. Sword cultivation is too expensive, so I want to ask you, where do you think Zhongren ranks? I bought the exact ranking."

"You"

Lin Qiao shook her head.

Look at the list
After all, he is her own junior brother, and in Bao'an County, it is indeed not against the law, so she cannot blame him.

He once wrote a poem for this tea: "This taste is like drinking blood, which can remind you of the past."

Predicted ranking: No. 1 (profound background, almost unsolvable)
"Your list."

After reading the contents of the list, Lin Qiao glanced at his junior fellow apprentice.

"Is it made up by the Longxi Li family themselves? The others are so simple, my apprentice is even more simple, and this Li Zhaoming even has a hobby."

"It shouldn't be, but there's nothing we can do about it. Who made Li Zhaoming so famous?"

On the side, Ye Xingchen sighed.

"When I was her age, I could only play in the mud. But she was able to fight the Ghost King at the age of seven. There is no comparison. I heard that Li let her go to school just to keep in touch with society and have her own social circle."

"Aristocratic family."

Suddenly, Lin Qiao took a deep breath and looked at the list again.

Among the top ten, nine are from aristocratic families, and only one is from a poor family. He was once from an aristocratic family. If this disciple of his was placed in ancient times, he would be a vagrant.

"Oh, Senior Sister."

Seeing that Lin Qiao didn't seem to like aristocratic families very much, Ye Xingchen directly counselled her.

"Remember that sentence, Senior Sister."

"what?"

“No one is forever young, but there are always young people.”

"It's the same here. Aristocratic families can be eliminated, but new ones will still emerge."

"So, our Dongguo has a clear attitude towards aristocratic families. Since aristocratic families are inevitable, we should restrict them. For example, now, the children of aristocratic families are not allowed to serve as officials in the court. They are more like companies, like capital, or like a group of thugs." "Nurhaci used to be a thug."

Lin Qiao curled her lips.

"The history of the East is a collection of wrong questions. The East will not make this kind of mistake again. Therefore, even if it is capital, some sensitive capital is not allowed to be touched by the aristocratic families. More importantly, now that the people's rule has been established, as long as the East does not have any problems, who can the aristocratic families fool? If the East has problems, it is better for the aristocratic families to take over than to be invaded by the whites. After all, how long has it been since the old witch said that it is better to be friends with foreign countries than to be retainers? A hundred years?"

"stop"

"Yeah, so Senior Sister, where do you think Zhongren would rank?"

"First."

"???"

"Sister, I admit that it is amazing that he has learned the sword heart in three months, but it will take time for his current talent to be transformed into strength."

"believe it or not."

Lin Qiao curled her lips and threw the list to Ye Xingchen.

"I believe!"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xingchen took out his mobile phone and went all in.

"Senior sister, whether I eat dirt or go to the club, it's up to you!"

"Didn't you say you were practicing?"

"Ahem, the worldly affairs are a test of one's heart."

"Master, do you need me?"

This virtual space is similar to the real world, so other people with good hearing can hear what Lin Qiao says.

Of course, Lin Qiao had no intention of hiding it at all.

As the chief graduate of her 23rd class, she has the qualifications and confidence.

However, the aristocratic families have always been unruly. After all, they also have the confidence to cause conflicts. Anyway, as long as everyone plays within the big framework of the East Country, the East Country will just turn a blind eye.

Just like the balance in the court of ancient emperors, the University of Tokyo is now also trying to balance the aristocratic families and the common people.

"Need not."

Li Weilong waved his hand.

"I came here just to see my good daughter. Otherwise, why would I come all the way from Liangzhou? I don't care about other things."

"Yes, master."

At the side, the secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses nodded and said nothing more.

He knew his master's temperament very well, and he was a complete daughter slave.

As long as it doesn't involve his daughter, he doesn't bother to deal with many issues. But no matter what, as a secretary, he still has to raise the issues that need to be raised. He has to give the leader some room to play.——
"It's quite realistic."

In the forest, Li Zhongren shook his neck, stretched his body, and slowly stood up.

There were trees everywhere, fallen leaves, and the light shining through the leaves creating a Tyndall effect.

I reached out and touched it, and it felt so real.

To be honest, Li Zhongren was quite impressed. This method of pulling people into a dream silently and so realistically showed that the technical level was very strong.

Of course, as a person with sword intent.

In fact, Li Zhongren could feel a little bit of disharmony.

However, he believed that most people would not be able to perceive it.

Because it requires the sword intent to stimulate the sword heart to be clear, and the perspective must be set to an extremely delicate level in order to see it.

To put it more simply, it is like enlarging a high-pixel image using computer software. You have to enlarge it to a very large multiple before you can see the mosaic.

In that case, then just follow the script.

Having made up his mind, Li Zhongren no longer hesitated.

Instead, he swung the sword in his hand, leaped lightly, and flew directly to the top of the tree.

Yes, he doesn't intend to play the pig and eat the tiger in this dream world.

There are two reasons.

First, in the East Country, he didn’t need to do this. Geniuses could always get better resources.

Secondly, he believed that with his current strength, once a real fight broke out, people outside would be able to see how powerful he was, so there was no need to pretend.

Of course, he would not reveal all his cards. After all, there could be bad people inside the University of Tokyo, so he always had to leave some backup plans for himself.

Things turned out just as Li Zhongren had thought. His light leap looked different in the eyes of those watching outside.

In particular, the dream trial system even deliberately magnified Li Zhongren's image because the system determined that his seemingly light leap was actually full of profound meaning.

It is a natural, effortless control of power.

In particular, this seemingly light leap and a few taps on the tree trunk in the air allowed him to jump directly to the top of a tree more than ten meters high, and even stood lightly on it, looking down at everything around him.
"Master, this child."

"He does have some skills."

"not bad."

Li Weilong looked at Li Zhongren on the top of the tree canopy, nodded slightly, but soon frowned again.

"Sword cultivator, paper tying, what's hanging around his waist, could it be a Nuo opera mask?"

"Well, it should be."

"Ha, what an interesting kid."

Suddenly, Li Weilong smiled.

"From ancient times to the present, anyone who dares to practice more is either a genius or a mediocrity. This boy may not be good in other aspects, but he has already entered the Dao in the path of sword cultivation. Among these more than ten thousand children, there are not many who can surpass him."

"Huhu~~"

Listening carefully, Li Zhongren heard a snoring sound coming from afar. Judging from the sound, it was probably a ferocious beast like a wild boar.

Of course, living in this small world full of spiritual energy, and being a low-level creature like a wild boar, there is no telling what kind of spiritualization it has become.

The so-called spiritualization refers to a way of completely disregarding the soul and madly absorbing spiritual energy through the body without any refinement.

More common in low-level animals or plants.

The reason is also very simple.

He who does not know is not drunk.

Psychic energy is poisonous and needs to be refined.

This is because people have their own egos. If you don't refine it, but madly absorb spiritual energy, the price you pay is that you are no longer yourself.
Animals and plants do not have this concept. They only have instincts, physical instincts. It doesn't matter who they are. The most important thing is to be full.

That’s why there are so many monsters in the animal world.

This is the root of the problem.

"Da~~"

Li Zhongren lightly tapped his toes, and the whole person fell down as if without any sound, yet it seemed as if he was equipped with rocket thrusters, and the speed was extremely fast.

This is the application of sword energy in actual combat.

"Cang~~"

A clear, sharp sound.

Li Zhongren's long sword pierced the wild boar's forehead without any hindrance, and the remaining sword energy even split it in two.
Then, a bead fell out of the wild boar's brain.

This is the spirit crystal, also called magic crystal in the Western world.

It is a manifestation of the crystallization of the amygdala in the brain after madly absorbing spiritual energy.
Possessing high and extraordinary value.

This time, the test was also judged based on the number of spirit crystals seized.

Of course, there is another criterion, which is to rob other people.

"Hehe, I'm lucky."

"Boy, give me your spirit crystal and I will let you go."

Just after picking up the spirit crystal, Li Zhongren heard a somewhat arrogant voice coming from not far away.
