Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The few people who were still fighting looked over.

After Su Ruoli approached, she grabbed a classmate who had bumped into the door and bounced back: "Weiwei, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?"

"Go get beaten!"

"?"

"It will be too late if you don't go now! There are so many people waiting in line to get beaten up by Bai Yu!"

"???"

Su Ruoli opened her mouth and stood there in a daze.

Watching the other person rush out the door.

But Weiwei seemed to remember something, turned around and ran back, holding her hand: "Ruoli!"

She was a little embarrassed, but she gritted her teeth and said, "You and Bai Yu are childhood sweethearts. You have a very good relationship, right?"

"We've been classmates for three years, and I've never asked you for anything... Can you help me speak up for me?"

"Let Bai Yu punch me, okay?"

"I beg you!"

Su Ruoli: “…”

After being classmates for three years, this is the first time I hear such a strange request.

She turned around and looked at the others for help.

Classmates, who understands?

Chapter 183 New Function Module: Realm Exploration

At this time, Bai Yu was unaware of the commotion outside.

He went directly to the principal's office.

The assistant knocked on the door and a voice came from inside.

"come in."

When the door was opened, the teaching assistant did not follow him in. Only Bai Yu and a middle-aged man were in the room.

The principal of Nanling No. 3 Middle School is appointed by the Nanling Municipal Department of Education. The position of principal of a public school is not simple and requires a professional title rating.

The middle-aged man's name is Wu Xianfeng.

Bai Yu had only met the principal a few times at the beginning of the school year. Most of the school's work was carried out by three vice principals, and this was the first time he met the principal.

Wu Xianfeng faced the tea tray, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Bai, please take a seat. Don't be so reserved."

Bai Yu naturally wasn't too reserved. After taking a seat, he asked directly, "The principal wanted me here. What's the matter?"

"I called you here suddenly. I guess you're a little confused, right?" Wu Xianfeng handed Bai Yu a cup of hot tea. "Actually, I received a report from the school and came here to test your talent."

Bai Yu's face showed a strange expression. He had just mentioned that he wanted to retest his talent, but the matter was reported to the principal through various channels.

He asked, "It's just a talent, is there any need to go to so much trouble?"

"Of course, ordinary students wouldn't need this kind of talent, but... your talent is truly extraordinary." Wu Xianfeng took a sip of tea and blew away the white mist. "A white talent can reach the late First Stage in less than two months. Even holders of top-tier gold talents are only about the same distance. After receiving the detailed report, I was genuinely curious and wanted to see it for myself."

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I don't think my talent is that high."

"Young people don't need to be too modest," Wu Xianfeng said with a smile. "I've lived for over fifty years and have met many exceptionally gifted students. Talent isn't static; it can evolve."

Bai Yu picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a drop of water on the wall. He then turned the cup upside down and said, "Then please give me some advice, Principal."

Wu Xianfeng took out a well-packaged wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Bai Yu: "Try it."

Testing talents requires passing relics.

Bai Yu opened the wooden box, and on the red cloth was a piece of crystal clear jade.

He raised his hand and placed his palm on the jade. Suddenly, a dark yellow light burst out from his palm.

At the same time, a picture flashed through his eyes.

I found myself in an endless starry sky with countless stars.

Three blazing suns patrol the sky.

Six ice disks hang in the night sky.

But looking deeper, this boundless starry sky is just a projection of the earth beneath our feet.

Bai Yu turned around and saw an endless stream of golden light, flowing slowly like a living thing.

It was as if the vast universe had turned into substance, and the mountains, rivers, and earth took shape before his eyes, holding their heads high, carrying countless memories from the past to the present.

That's a dragon.

It swam past.

The scorching sun, the bright moon, and the stars were nothing but dim points of light that flashed by on its back.

As this huge dragon was wandering around, some light fell from it. It was not a collapse, but a gift from it.

One of the rays of light turned into a flying dragon and flew towards him, stopping in his palm. His fingertips stroked its reverse scales, and the touch felt extremely real.

What I saw and felt seemed like a fleeting illusion.

Bai Yu suddenly felt a burning sensation at his fingertips, and a line of text emerged from his sight.

[Holy Relic: Essence of the Earth]

[Five-Star Heroic Spirit: Daxia Dragon Soul]

[Status: Prime]

【Not contractable】

The crystal in the palm of his hand was already a bright yellow, but there seemed to be a faint golden glow in the deep yellow.

However, Bai Yu still let go of his hand and put the thing back into the box, and its light went out.

"The deep yellow talent actually jumped two levels." Wu Xianfeng saw it with his own eyes and laughed heartily: "Not bad, very good!"

Bai Yu looked at the crystal stone and asked, "Principal, what is this stone?"

"The dragon vein essence, while not expensive, is a rare treasure." Wu Xianfeng said, "Originally, you should have been able to access it only after reaching university level, but it doesn't matter. This will allow you to experience the mystery of the Great Xia Dragon Vein in advance."

The five-star heroic spirit is indeed too mysterious.

Bai Yu thought of the dragon that rested on his palm. With a thought, the dragon vein mark on the back of his hand suddenly glowed, and an illusory silver dragon circled around his palm, rubbing against it lazily.

Wu Xianfeng took a closer look and said, "It seems that the first time you touched the dragon vein essence, you received a gift from the Great Xia Dragon Vein... Mr. Bai, you are so young, but your mental power is quite remarkable. Ordinary people would often be terrified when they see a dragon vein for the first time, and would be unable to stabilize their soul and body."

Bai Yu thought that he was indeed scared, but he didn't scare himself to death. It must be that the plug-in worked. The Chronicle of Heroes prevented him from being hurt by the other party's memory when he came into contact with the heroic spirit.

"Is this a gift from the dragon vein?" He touched the illusory dragon shape on his arm. "I heard from our teacher that the dragon vein seal is proof of Daxia's extraordinaryness and is also our path to cultivation. How do you explain this?"

Wu Xianfeng slowly poured a cup of tea. "This isn't hard to understand... The dragon vein is Daxia. It represents everything from ancient times to the present, and it also carries the entire history of Daxia."

"For extraordinary beings like us, if we want to cultivate, our own efforts are indispensable, but relying solely on ourselves is useless. We also need the vast accumulation of our predecessors."

"The dragon veins record the paths that countless predecessors have taken. Through this dragon vein seal, we will be able to enter the dragon veins and follow in their footsteps, and even surpass their paths."

His fingers drummed slowly on the table.

"You might think it's very complicated, but it's actually very simple..."

"The dragon veins record the existence of countless people. Walking and climbing within the dragon veins means stepping over these people and defeating them."

"Defeat the records and projections of existence within these dragon veins, and you will gain the dragon vein's gift—dragon vein essence and dragon vein memory."

"The further you can go, the stronger you will naturally become, and the more powerful the dragon veins you encounter will be. Every step forward will increase the difficulty."

"If you can walk a hundred miles within the dragon vein, you will have reached the third level."

"Travel a thousand miles and you will reach the fourth level."

"Travel ten thousand miles and you will reach the fifth level."

“Thus, Wanli became a saint!”

Wu Xianfeng's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and then suddenly became low-pitched.

"It can be said that every fifth-level expert in Daxia has traveled thousands of miles."

"Unfortunately, the journey is incredibly difficult. Traveling thousands of miles is never easy."

Bai Yu looked at the lazy illusory dragon shadow in his hand.

"Since this is a gift from the Great Xia Dragon Vein, then as long as we keep challenging ourselves, won't we eventually reach Wanli?"

Wu Xianfeng sighed and shook his head: "How can it be so easy? Although the dragon vein is generous, it is not unlimited."

"Traveling within the dragon veins is both difficult and rewarding. How could it be without cost?"

"If you challenge the record in the Dragon Vein, you will fail."

"Once defeated and killed, although it won't kill you directly, it will mean damage to your soul."

"This kind of injury requires a lot of time to recuperate. The damage to the soul is different from the damage to the body. It is not so easy to recover."

"The third level of Transcendent is called the Golden Soul. It requires the soul to be perfect and intact. If the soul is damaged, it may lead to a drop in realm. Therefore, the higher the level of the strong, the more concerned about the safety of their own soul."

"Although there are secret methods and items that can restore soul damage, such items are extremely rare... For ordinary people, the cost of trial and error is too high."

"If you fail at the same dragon vein record two or three times in a row, it's easy to get frustrated, and most people's lifelong achievements will stop there."

Bai Yu pondered and said, "It is indeed quite tricky."

The cost of trial and error is too high.

Many people will simply give up the game when they encounter a difficult boss, let alone encounter a record of a stronger person than themselves.

So when the old teacher mentioned before that he was a fall-off, he might have been referring to this point. His progress in strength slowed down, the powerful enemies of the dragon veins blocked his way, and he was unable to make progress, so he fell into a vicious circle.

He spread out his palms, and the dragon energy was withdrawn into the dragon vein seal: "Thank you for your teachings, Principal."

"It's just some basic principles. I'm telling you because I'm afraid you'll be too impatient and try it out." Wu Xianfeng waved his hand. "Don't be too anxious. Just take your time... With your current achievements, you should have a 60% chance of getting into Penglai College. I'm truly pleased to see so many outstanding students in this class."

Who wouldn't want the merits and achievements that are given to them for free?

Bai Yu listened to the other party's greetings, feeling a little absent-minded.

Just after he digested all the information he had previously seen in the dragon vein essence, an information box popped up.

【New function module has been opened】

【Realm Exploration】

[Map No. 1: Daxia Dragon Vein]

Chapter 184 Childhood Sweethearts

New features enabled.

Realm exploration.

Bai Yu had some impression of this function, as he had seen it before in the Yingling training project.

But it wasn't turned on yet.

Now that there is a new function, Bai Yu is naturally eager to try it out.

He immediately said goodbye to the principal, Wu Xianfeng: "Well, principal, if it's all right, I have to go back to class."

"Don't worry," Wu Xianfeng said. "I called you here not just to test your talent. Since you're so outstanding, how could I, as the principal of No. 3 Middle School, not give you some gifts?"

Bai Yu: "?"

Giving gifts?

Isn't this a bit the other way around?

Wu Xianfeng threw something out and it fell into Bai Yu's hand. Upon closer inspection, it was a peculiarly shaped token with an ancient high-rise building engraved on it. The overall color tone was blue.

"This is a badge worth one thousand points from the Hero Building, an anonymous badge." Principal Wu waved his hand and said generously, "With this, you can go to the Hero Building administrator in Nanling City and exchange it for anything from extraordinary skills and special techniques to weapons and elixirs. I don't know what you'd like, so I won't make any decisions on your own. If you want something, go and exchange it."

"Thank you, Principal Wu."
