I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 80 Let them break down (33)

Teacher Zhao was no longer surprised by Liu Qing's attitude.

He waved his hand and said directly, "I have my own considerations. If you're not satisfied, then let's test it out. You two say a few words to each other and try to break the other's defenses."

Although she didn't know what Teacher Zhao meant, Liu Qing thought for a while, then looked at Ma Daqiang and said, "You have no brains."

“But I’m happy,” Ma Daqiang replied immediately.

"Hmm... People without brains are indeed terrifying. Chen Yu, you'll never get into university in your life."

"What a joke, I'm super strong right now, there's no way I can fail the exam."

Since neither of his two sentences had broken down his defenses, Liu Qing was a little discouraged, but still said defiantly, "It's because these two have such strong mental defenses. I don't think they can break down my defenses."

Teacher Zhao sneered: "Really? Forget about Ma Daqiang, Chen Yu, you come here."

"Oh. Then I'll pick something easier. Ma Daqiang."

Ma Daqiang puffed out his chest: "I'm here. Brother Chen, I don't care what you say! Just come on!"

"I'm transferring to a cultural high school."

"Godfather, no! If you leave, whose homework will I copy?"

Using the force of the impact to bounce Ma Daqiang aside, Chen Yu said to Liu Qing, who was staring at him nervously, "You can't grow taller after sixteen."

"Chen Yu, I hate you!"

Shaking his head, Chen Yu blew on his fingertips and said helplessly, "Sigh, being invincible is truly lonely."

Teacher Zhao said helplessly, "Although I asked you to say it, you're really ruthless."

"That's nothing. Don't even mention the two of them, I, Teacher Zhao, can make you break down."

"No, I believe you. Let's get down to business. Tomorrow is the day for self-examination, you..."

"What is the Day of Inquiry into One's Heart?" Ma Daqiang asked, puzzled.

"How could you not know about this? It can boost your moral score... Oops, I forgot you have a 97 in morality, so there's really no need to care about this. Anyway, let me explain again."

After explaining the "Day of Self-Examination" again, Teacher Zhao said, "Tomorrow is the Day of Self-Examination, and the three of you will represent our sports high school."

"Why are there three of us?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"The three representatives for the 'Asking Your Heart' Day are fixed: one must have high scores in the corresponding subject, one must have high scores in academic subjects, and one must have high scores in moral character. In the end, the three of you will be selected from the second year of high school."

Chen Yu nodded: "I see... Class monitor, what was your score in physical education?"

"Perfect score!" Liu Qing said proudly. "I was born into a family of body cultivators. My grandfather was very good at fighting, my grandmother was very good at fighting, my maternal grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters were all very good at fighting, and even my family dog ​​was very good at fighting."

Ma Daqiang suddenly realized: "No wonder you're so good at fighting, this is your father-in-law, isn't it?"

"Damn it! Who are you cursing at?! Wait, who are you cursing at? Something's not right!"

Seeing the two fighting amongst themselves before the fight even started, Teacher Zhao covered his head, feeling gloomy about the future. He could only hope that Chen Yu could step up and help the sports high school turn things around.

He coughed to quiet the three of them down and took out the contract of the Fire God from his robes.

After taking the contract, Chen Yu carefully read through its contents, analyzing every detail, before saying, "No problem, you can sign it."

The Star Lord's contract is mandatory, so even if it is handed to you by an acquaintance, you must read it carefully and make sure there are no problems before you can sign it.

The content of this contract is to ensure that Chen Yu and the other two will not leak the contents of the "Questioning the Heart Day" afterward. However, this contract is usually signed on the day of the "Questioning the Heart Day". The fact that they signed it today means that they have some work to complete today.

After confirming that there were no problems with the contract, Teacher Zhao returned it to Huo De Xing Jun and then solemnly said, "What I'm about to say must not be divulged. What I'm about to say concerns the trial of the Day of Inquiry into One's Heart. First of all, the Day of Inquiry into One's Heart examines one's Dao Heart. As the saying goes, to understand one's true nature is a merit. Being able to stabilize one's Dao Heart and not be disturbed by external things is also a merit."

"Hmm, and then?" Chen Yu asked, eating the dishes that had just been served.

“In the past, the examination of one’s Dao heart was quite cruel. It was common to experience trials and tribulations. Some even pretended to be crazy and ended up in mental hospitals. Some would even lock themselves in rainforests where no one knew them. There are more stories that you can’t bear to hear. Anyway, it was very cruel.”

Chen Yu imagined it for a moment, and it felt like being hung from the ceiling like a roast duck, which was indeed quite cruel.

"Later, because it was too cruel and would have irreversible effects on the body, the tests in reality gradually disappeared, and the method of dreams began to be adopted. On the day of the Heart-Testing Day, the Fire Virtue True Lord will descend into the dream world, allowing you to escape into the dream. Behind each student, there will be a Day-Walking God responsible for recording your words and deeds and examining your Dao heart. When you enter the dream world, your memories of entering the dream world will be erased, thus creating the illusion that you are still in reality. Therefore, your behavior in the dream world will be regarded as the true reaction of the person being tested, and it will also involve changes in merit."

Hearing this, Chen Yu felt he understood: "So, we are the chosen ones, the ones who are to enter the dream?"

"No, unless you choose to withdraw, almost everyone will enter the dream. And you are the ones who create the dream."

Leaning back in his chair, Teacher Zhao rubbed his temples and said, "We teachers also signed a contract before, so we forgot all the relevant details. But now that the restriction has been lifted, we've remembered it. Each high school needs to create a dream to submit as an entry. All the entries from all the high schools will be put together for judging, and then our students from Tianyuan City will preview the winner. After that, it will be submitted to Changsheng Prefecture for judging, and all the second-year high school students in Changsheng Prefecture will preview the winning dream to gain immunity to the test."

"Then why not use the previous winning dream? It's such a waste to keep switching back and forth like this," Ma Daqiang asked, puzzled.

"You can prepare in advance, and so can the Fire Star Lord. He will integrate the dreams from his previous victories and then create new test dreams from them. Don't underestimate the Star Lords, especially the famous ones. He has considered all your ideas. Some things may seem like loopholes, but you can't afford the consequences."

"Then why not hire a professional dream architect?" Chen Yu asked.

Teacher Zhao looked at Chen Yu with appreciation: "That's a good idea. What do you think?"

"...Is the Fire God choosing a candidate? Is He looking for a potential temple keeper?"

"That's right. Every star lord likes an excellent dream weaver. The dream weaver seeds who can stand out in the second year of high school have the most potential, and if they're lucky, they can even receive a title bestowed by the star lord. So, you know what I mean, right?"

Chen Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Simply put, it's about having a dream to test the students' resolve and prevent them from being broken down by the Fire God.

Don't worry if you mess this up; there are four other high schools to back you up.

Doing it well brings many benefits, and you can even rise to the top in one step and become a favorite of the Fire God.

However, Chen Yu was not interested in Huo De Xingjun. What interested him was that this was a rare opportunity to break through the regional lock and transmit his dream to Changsheng Prefecture.

Just as Chen Yu was preparing to make a big splash, Liu Qing checked the time and said with difficulty, "I understand, but there are only a dozen hours left until the day of the inquiry. Is there enough time?"

　The new book list will be taken off tomorrow, and then I'll need to work on the manuscript to prepare for its release. I'm asking for one more recommendation and monthly votes, thank you!
