Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Upon hearing this, 52 people in Anqiu City were immediately enraged.

"Damn it, you're getting too cocky, aren't you? Let's all go at you together."

The young man in black said, "Please don't. The buildings around here are all occupied by people from the prefectural city. The combined population of all 30 cities doesn't even equal ours."

"If you make a move, you'll probably be bedridden for several days, which will affect your later assessments. The Longyutai assessments award points, so I advise you to be patient and let things calm down."

"Remember, this is Luojiang Academy, not your high school. You are adults now, and you have acquired extraordinary talents. You must understand the importance of consequences."

The young man in black spoke earnestly, as if he were doing it for their own good.

Zhou Ming said, "Li Changye, you're talking too much."

The young man in black shrugged and said nothing more.

"Kneel down, and I won't say it a third time."

Zhou Ming crossed his arms and shouted again.

"These people are so awful," Wei Lan whispered to Xiao Weiqing.

"How dare you!"

A woman stepped forward and came to Wei Lan's side, reaching out to slap him.

"Snapped!"

A soft sound.

Xiao Weiqing grabbed the woman's wrist. "Are you sick?"

"Um?"

The woman was surprised, then she used her right foot to sweep her leg towards Xiao Weiqing.

Bang!

Xiao Weiqing arrived first despite being behind, kicking the woman in the abdomen, sending her flying backward like a shrimp.

He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Ming walked down the steps with a cold face.

"Name."

Xiao Weiqing looked at Zhou Ming as if he were an idiot, "I don't talk to people with mental illnesses."

"Okay, very good."

Zhou Ming gently lifted his left foot, and the next moment, his figure disappeared.

"Brother Qing, watch out!"

Wei Lan had just finished speaking.

Zhou Ming appeared in front of Xiao Weiqing and threw a punch.

The fist, imbued with spiritual energy, rubbed against the air and came crashing down with a whistling sound.

Xiao Weiqing neither dodged nor avoided, but unleashed his spiritual energy and threw a punch.

boom!

Both of them compromised.

"Great, let's do it again!"

"Blazing Fist!"

Zhou Ming's fist, crackling with flames, struck Xiao Weiqing's face directly.

"Zhou Ming, you've gone mad!"

"Kid, get out of the way!" Li Changye warned.

Xiao Weiqing chuckled lightly, "Blazing Flames? Trying to teach a fish to swim."

then.

The internal fire energy surged out wildly along with the abundant spiritual energy, amounting to a full 40 strands.

Xiao Weiqing extended his right palm, curling his ring and little fingers inward, and pushed them out forcefully.

"Fire Owl!"

The scorching flames exploded with a roar.

click!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

Zhou Ming's right hand immediately drooped down and flew backward, with flames still remaining on his hand, but they were not his own.

Everyone seemed to smell the aroma of meat.

Zhou Ming stared at Xiao Weiqing in shock and disbelief.

"impossible."

"What kind of extraordinary talent do you possess?"

When one of Zhou Ming's companions saw that Zhou Ming had been defeated and that his hand was still burning with flames, he quickly waved his finger and used his spiritual energy to write the character "封" (seal) in the air.

But it was no use; the flames showed no sign of going out.

Then the person's fingers flew across the paper, writing several characters for "seal".

The character "封" floated to Zhou Ming's fist, enveloping it in flames, thus saving Zhou Ming's hand. However, at this moment, it was no different from a roasted pig's trotter.

Xiao Weiqing was slightly surprised that it could seal his remaining fire energy.

"Interesting, these extraordinary talents are truly diverse and bizarre."

He glanced at Zhou Ming and then ignored the group.

"Get out of the way."

Seeing this, the students from the prefectural city had no choice but to make way. Zhou Ming, their strongest student, had already been defeated, and they had lost face big time.

Li Changye stared at Xiao Weiqing's retreating figure, his eyes filled with shock. He knew Zhou Ming's strength all too well, yet he was no match for Xiao Weiqing.

He thought to himself, "It seems that quite a few real talents have emerged from the cities and prefectures of Luojiang this year."

The people of Anqiu City walked into their dormitories with their heads held high, as if they had won a battle.

......

Following the instructions on their wristbands, everyone found their own single dormitory room.

Starting tomorrow, they will go to Longyutai for a seven-day assessment. The top 100 will be admitted to the Upper House.

"Longyutai?"

Xiao Weiqing tapped the bracelet, entered the academy's intranet, and then searched for Longyutai.

Countless posts appeared instantly.

After filtering, I only kept the official posts and the few posts with the most discussions and replies.

The first post was actually created by a student, and it was from more than ten years ago.

The title is very unique.

"Longyutai—I want the top spot, anyone object?"

Xiao Weiqing clicked on it out of curiosity, but when he looked inside, there was no valuable information at all. It was all photos showing off. The content of the photos was basically the same: a person holding a fish, with the time and a number below it, which was the length of the fish.

However, the fish caught Xiao Weiqing's attention.

The fish's mouth is shaped like a dragon's mouth, and its two whiskers are almost as long as its body. Its tail is even more peculiar, being very thin and long with shimmering scales, making one think at a glance that a dragon's tail should look like this.

The larger the arowana in the photo, the more discussions and likes it received. Xiao Weiqing flipped through a few more pages, but it was the same everywhere, so he stopped looking.

then.

The second post is an official introduction to Longyutai.

The Dragon Fish Terrace is unique to Luojiang Academy and is the only one of its kind in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

In a certain area of ​​Luojiang, a section of the river with the most abundant spiritual energy was intercepted and slowly formed after a hundred years of nurturing.

It houses tens of thousands of arowanas, each one a precious treasure.

Arowanas can be broadly classified into three categories.

First, for common arowanas, the size is determined by body length. Fishing is prohibited for fish under one foot. The size ranges from one to three feet, from three feet to ten feet, and over ten feet. The larger the fish, the higher its value.

Secondly, dragonfish that are over ten feet long may have dragonfish pearls inside their bellies, which are the essence of spiritual energy and a great tonic for cultivation.

The last type is a special arowana, with an irregular body length. Its most obvious feature is that its color is different from that of ordinary arowanas. Each one is very valuable, but this type of arowana is not commonly seen in the entire arowana market.

In the first post, there weren't many of these arowanas; most were just ordinary arowanas.

"So, it seems the entrance exam involves catching these dragonfish. I wonder what the rules are?"

Just as Xiao Wei was pondering.

Someone in the Anqiu City group tagged everyone, and Xiao Weiqing joined the group to check the information.

Li Fangnan: "Who among you knows how to fish?"

"No, I'm proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and I've also dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but I can't fish."

This is true. People from large families train their children in various weapons and skills from a young age, because no one knows what extraordinary talent they might acquire.

"Not even one?"

"Then the assessment is over."

"I do know how to fish, but I'm not very good at it."

Qin Sheng: "The Dragon Fish Platform assessment mainly examines the control and depth of spiritual energy. Of course, some strategy and skills are also required, but more importantly, one's character is essential."

"Whether you can fish or not shouldn't matter much, at least it's not a decisive factor, but of course, if you can, that's even better."

Zhu Dong: "That's right. After all, dragonfish spirits are like ghosts, feeding on spiritual energy. It's normal that you can't catch them."

Then, Zhu Dong posted a video in the group.

In the video, there are three people by the river. Two of them are holding 15-meter fishing rods. The fishing hooks have no bait, but instead glowing clusters of spiritual energy.

Another person.

He kept shooting out spiritual energy from his hands and throwing it into the river, which looked a bit like... fishing?

Before long, several three-foot-long silver dragonfish rolled over, leaped out of the water, and swallowed the released spiritual energy in one gulp. Then, the dragonfish hovered back and forth at the fishhook, but never took a bite.

Suddenly.

One of the arowanas swung its tail.

A bubble surged at the bottom of the river. When the bubble disappeared, the magical energy on the fishing hook was gone.

Li Fangnan: "Wow, this fish must be a spirit!"

"This is practically treating people like monkeys."
