After a simple meal, Goode sat on the bench without any sign of getting up and leaving.

The eyes were slightly narrowed, the lips were slightly pursed, and there was a smile on the corners of the mouth, like a spring breeze. The three of them sat quietly on the bench without saying a word, seeming to be out of tune with the entire inn.

After teaching him the cruelty he needs to face in order to survive, he is still the warm-hearted and kind old man.

After a while, what Good said surprised Yi Ran.

"When I was young, I used to shamelessly hang out with them just to get information."

"At that time, I often stayed in this kind of inn when I had no money. In order to get information, I would often hang out with them and drink together. Now, as I get older, it is difficult to be like before. But my strength has improved somewhat.

I have heard everything everyone in the hall is talking about."

"Those shirtless men have trained as low-level warriors. What they are talking about is that there is a mercenary team recruiting handymen to go on adventures, and the rewards are generous. Haha, they are recruiting some cannon fodder to explore the road. This kind of revenge has

It’s worth taking your life to spend it.”

"Those who are whispering are talking about the gossip about this test. Many family children who are over eight years old have arrived in Fenghuo City to prepare for the talent test. It is said that a few of them have high hopes from the family and have spent countless money on them.

Resources purchase potions to condense magic power in advance.”

"Some of the chats were not very interesting. As for those with little ones sitting there, needless to say, they all came here for testing just like us. You can hear so much news just from this small inn, and you don't have to spend any money.

So Yi Ran, you understand."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Yiran. Yiran didn't expect that Gude would have such a cute side.

Yiran also knows the experiences that Old Man Good told him.

"Everyone grows up from a weak position. Even if you become strong, you can't look down on the weak one, because that's just like you used to be. But as you become stronger, you will naturally have the convenience of the strong. At the same time, there are three religions and nine streams in the slums, and there are all kinds of gossip.

, this is the best place to get information.”

It is indeed an old river and lake, an old river and lake. The longer you have been in the river and lake, the more experienced you are.

——————

After sitting for a long time, the three of them returned to the room with satisfaction, washed themselves up and finally lay down on their long-lost bed.

Along the way, Goode deliberately created psychological pressure on the two children, so that Yiran had no chance to feel his body, including his Dantian. The moment he faced the green-eyed poisonous python, he entered the Qi refining period.

Since waking up, I have been breathing for a long time every day, but I cannot enter meditation and cannot feel the existence of true energy, so I need to start my practice all over again.

With the previous foundation, I was on the verge of entering samadhi in a month. Until the moment of crisis, the restraints in my mind were shattered, and the shackles in my Dantian exploded to condense pure Qi. The Qi was even more intense.

A breakthrough surpasses the previous peak.

Carefully feel the true energy flowing in the meridians in the body, but he does not sit cross-legged to practice. Yiran also doesn’t know how the magic and martial arts in this world are practiced. Maybe it is stronger than cultivation? All this will be revealed soon.

.

In the next few days, Goode took the two of them to wander around the city. Various shops sold a wide variety of products, which opened Yiran's eyes. Clothing stores, butcher shops, grocery stores, and bookstores. Large and small.

Warcraft material store, weapon and armor store, medicine store, etc.

It can be said that if there were no World of Warcraft and related shops, this would be the scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the TV series, which made Yiran feel dazed again.

During this period, Goode also sold all the materials for the first-level monster Green-Eyed Venomous Python, but he did not tell Yiran how much money he exchanged for it.

In the past few days, the three of them have been walking around the central square of the capital every day. Except for the registration test on the first day, they will also look at the registration list every day.

During the annual talent test, the central square of the capital is the busiest place in the entire capital.

Not only did people come from all over to sign up for the test, but there were also various vendors and people who took advantage of the crowd to exchange the items they needed. The entire central square was filled with people, and the shouts were louder than the others, making it very lively.

The lively scene further highlights the solemnity of the test bench. Every year's test is the top priority of all principalities and empires. It is such a test every year that consumes countless resources in the mainland, just to give everyone who is eight years old and above

Children as young as 20 have an equal starting point and a chance to become magicians.

As for what opportunities you will encounter in your future growth, or whether you will die at the claws of a monster, this is all fate.

On the test stand in the center, a middle-aged magician recorded the name of each child and gave him an elemental stone.

Each of these children may be the future of the mainland. The whole nation is preparing for war, and everyone is fighting for more resources, which is the opportunity to become stronger.

The mage is wearing a black robe with three red leaves embroidered on the left chest. The leaves are extremely exquisite, and there are silk elements of fire lingering on them. I don’t know what kind of material the robe is made of, and it looks silky and soft on the outside.

Full of texture, the stand-up collar is slightly raised with silver threads embedded in it. There are four silver stars on the left and right sides of the collar, which is noble but not ostentatious.

"Did you see that? That's Director Zhang Xuan. He is a third-level eight-star magician and is about to enter the ranks of great magicians. And he is only in his thirties! He has a bright future."

"That's the pride of us civilians. Back then, he and I walked all the way to the capital to take the test. However, he has become a superior mentor. And I failed to become a magician, but it doesn't matter, this

I won’t bring my son here again.”

"It is said that there are many good young talents this year. News has come out that young masters and princesses from several big families in the capital have become magicians. They can go for the test rewards."

"Yes, yes, the top ten talents in this year's test all have space rings as rewards. The higher the ranking, the larger the space in the ring. The rewards also include some spiritual stones."

The various people under the test platform were talking enthusiastically about the news they heard from somewhere, as if the rewards were given to them.

Countless children of the same age as Yi Ran looked at Henry Zhang with excitement, some with determination, and some with curiosity.

But the eyes of most children are full of confusion. It is undoubtedly a joke to tell an eight-year-old child what he will become in the future. Even the elders who sent their children here only have a perception of magicians as being superior to others and can change.

Life situation.

But he didn’t know how rugged the path of cultivation would be, let alone how terrifying the monsters he would face in the future were!

But none of them were discussing the Martial Arts Academy, which made Yiran very strange. Logically speaking, only twenty-three out of ten people can become magicians, so most people should become martial arts cultivators. Why is there such enthusiasm for the Martial Arts Academy?

Depressed.

Gude seemed to see Yiran's doubts and whispered to Ziran.

"If magicians are a gift from God, then martial arts may be God's torture for people."

"Martial arts practice requires internal energy to penetrate the muscles and veins. Once the control is not good, it will cause damage to the muscles and veins that is difficult to recover. The tearing feeling makes people despair. This is one of them."

"Secondly, many martial arts have high requirements on the body, so it is not only necessary to cultivate the inner strength but also the physical body. This makes the martial arts cultivator's demand for resources far more than that of a magician. Moreover, cultivating the physical body requires countless tempers, and that kind of pain is not

Ordinary people can bear it."

"It's just that if martial arts cultivators and magicians of the same level master similar martial arts and magic, the martial arts cultivators will often be better. Because the martial arts cultivator's physical body is much stronger than the magician, it is very likely that the martial arts cultivator can defeat the magician with one blow.

But it is difficult for a magician to defeat a martial artist with one blow. Rumor has it that the most powerful ultimate forbidden spell can summon thunder and earth fire to destroy everything, but the strongest martial artist can break the direct forbidden spell!"

"Most civilians come here with a sense of luck, and their vision limits their thinking. They only know that this is a shortcut to change their lives, but they don't know the dangers they need to face after becoming a magician. Their vision is also limited.

As a result, they just want to become magicians, not to kill Warcraft. Therefore, most of them will not choose martial arts that require more hardship and consume more resources."

"There are more secrets. You will know them when you really start practicing."

"Look at the children in the big family over there. There are some children next to those who are already wearing robes. They can stand with them but not wearing robes. What does this mean? It means that they are all

Martial Arts!"

——————

Near noon, Goode, Yiran and Yudie were still strolling in the market near the central square.

"The test will start tomorrow, and I can't help you with anything. I can only wish you good luck."

"Registration ends in the afternoon, and the number of people taking the test this year will be counted immediately. Don't put too much pressure on it."

"Yu Die, you bear a blood feud, but whether you can avenge this revenge depends on your circumstances. In my opinion, you can't be bound by hatred in life. Over the years, I have been to the place where I found you countless times, but I have not been able to

I've seen someone looking for you. I treat you as my granddaughter, and I've spent all my money to teach you the art of alchemy, and I'm used to you calling me grandpa. It's just that my age is not forgiving."

"Boy Yiran, I think you are not like an ordinary child. Even when faced with a green-eyed poisonous python, your first action is to look at Yudie, and the first thing that comes to your mind is to pull Yudie to run with you. Although not

I know your situation, but whether you become a magician or you can only practice martial arts. This alchemy technique will gain more resources for you."

"When you enter the academy tomorrow, I will continue my journey. Alas, time is not forgiving. After eighty years, even the noble magician in the eyes of everyone will not be able to compete with time. If I can't go further within twenty years

, then my end is coming."

Saying such sad words, there was no sadness on Good's face. Looking at the people coming and going in the market, there was still a smile on his face.

"But I will definitely come back to see you. After all, Yudie is my good granddaughter."

Yudie's big eyes were full of sadness, and she was no longer as smart as before. The color of her bright red dress seemed to have dimmed at the moment. During this period of time, Yudie also experienced those fears. She learned about her life experience, and they depended on each other for life.

Grandpa Goode also has to part with him. The series of blows are not over yet. What really makes Yudie collapse is that the kind and charitable Grandpa Goode is old, so old that he is about to die!

Suddenly, Yu Die, who was dressed in a red dress, had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. The excitement around her had nothing to do with her anymore. The blue sky, the white clouds, the red candied haws, and the white meat buns all lost their color at this moment.

Yi Ran remained silent. This was such a heavy blow to an eight-year-old child.

What's the difference between this and losing a loved one through time travel? At least, I still have a thought. When I am strong enough, I can go back and take a look.

Goode and Yiran comforted Yudie for a while. After buying Yudie candied haws, big meat buns and her favorite handkerchief snacks, they finally recovered a little.

A child's sadness is always short-lived.

Back and forth, several hours passed, and the registration for the talent test was about to come to an end. At this moment, there was a commotion over the testing platform.

The ten largest families in the capital came together for the finale. Every senior member of these families holds an important position in the principality, and they must be both literary and military. The leaders of each generation are extremely powerful monks.

The ten heads of the family came to the test stand with high spirits, clasping fists and greeting each other. Although these heads were older than Zhang Xuan, each of them was far more powerful than Zhang Xuan. They were all once the true pride of heaven, and two of them were

None of them were wearing robes. Not wearing robes in this solemn and solemn occasion means that they are strong martial arts experts.

It can be said that these ten families form the indestructible cornerstone of the Principality of Wind and Fire, and each family head is the leader of their family. The strength of any family head can be ranked in the top fifty in the principality, and Henry Zhang can only
To be continued...
