When Shi Yi came to the back mountain cemetery of Dongling Mountain, the other four of the top five people in the Shi family's Qianlong List had already arrived.

Although they all suppressed their minds and seemed to be calm, they asked to gather at 10 o'clock, and they came so early, which shows a lot of problems.

Shi Qingqing, this time, ranked first in the Shi family's Qianlong list. His father Shi Qingshan is a wealthy businessman. The most important thing is that Shi Qingshan does not rely on clan property. Most of the industries he operates are private, so he has high autonomy. As the daughter raised by a billionaire, Shi Qingqing has bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin is as snowy as she is, and she has a sense of arrogance and nobility.

Shi Yi, this time, ranked second in the Shi family's Qianlong list. He was an orphan and grew up dependent on his sister Shi Qing. Two years ago, he was sent by his family to undertake the demon hunting mission and assisted the federal government in suppressing the situation. He gradually polished his glory in the past two years of experience, and his courage in shooting skills and gradually stood out.

Shi Gan, this time, ranked third in the Shi family's Qianlong list. The Shi family has been trained in the family since childhood and has outstanding achievements in all aspects. Two years ago, he was sent by the family to undertake the demon hunting mission and assisted the government in suppressing the situation. In the past two years of training, he has become more mature, steady, smart and capable.

Shi Mingxuan, this time, ranked fourth in the Shi family's Qianlong List. He was a descendant of the elders in the clan. He has been trained in the family since childhood and has achieved outstanding results in all aspects. Two years ago, he was sent by the family to undertake the demon hunting mission and assisted the government in suppressing the situation. He has outstanding military achievements and has great leadership skills in the past two years of training.

Shi Qingyue, this time, ranked eighth in the Shi family's Qianlong List, is not a Shi family's blood, and is purely an adopted orphan. Because of her intelligence and talent, she was trained with the Shi family's children. She has extremely high personal talent and excellent personal grades. Compared with the other four, Shi Qingyue was transferred by the great elder Shi Hao. This great opportunity, there were only five special training places in total, and she occupied one, which shows how much Shi Qingyue was valued.

The five young men did not wait too long. When the silver moon was hanging high, at 10 o'clock in the evening, a terrifying howling came from afar. Then, a giant wolf, as huge as a bear, ran down one hillside.

Seeing this scene, Shi Yi immediately took out the Fire Spike, and the other four people responded to the situation. Some took two steps forward and some took two steps back. Shi Qingqing's left hand burst into flames, which was not just lighting, but also caused the temperature around to rise suddenly.

Shi Gan, who stepped forward and took a step forward, had faint red scales on his body. A silver dagger appeared in Shi Mingxuan's hand. Shi Qingyue had not changed much, but she was in the same row as Shi Qingqing. Between the five, three men took two steps forward, and the two women took two steps back to form a faint encirclement formation.

However, the giant wolf running down the hillside changed drastically before it got close. He quickly deformed and his body lengthened. When he landed, he had turned into a tall and wild strong man, with silver-white hair and a slanted scar on his cheeks and eyes. It was during the day that the elder Shi Xiao was sitting next to the elder.

"Don't show off your ability in front of me. I have been practicing for a longer time than your parents' lifespan. I have killed more people than you have ever seen." The strong and tall old man, with a wild beast-like aura, made everyone, including Shi Yi, feel suppressed just by just one look.

At this moment, Shi Yi suddenly understood why Shi Xiao hardly spoke much in the ancestral hall. His murderous aura was too strong and he was too strong. He was a type of person who could scare a child to cry at a glance. A man like a crazy beast was indeed not suitable for talking too much on occasions where he sacrificed his ancestors.

"It's been two years. Five of you are all practicing outside and have experienced many things. I think you should have noticed it, and the magic power of this world has once again increased... A new extraordinary era is coming."

"Our Shi family has always been a member of the extraordinary world and a family that inherits the power of ancient mystery. Therefore, we naturally have the lead in this new era, but we have to face many dangers because of this! For example, four hundred years ago, the Shi family signed a contract with the Eternal Night Church to become a member of the Dark Goddess camp. This is nothing in normal times, but now, the Dark Goddess is awakening... The goddess's enemies are also awakening."

At this moment, Shi Xiao, the evil man who was paced back and forth in front of the four people paused for a moment, then shook his head and tidied up his thoughts before continuing: "My Shi family has always mastered mysterious power, but you, as direct disciples of the Shi family, have never learned the abilities related to it. Shi Gan, do you know why this is?"

"Uh..." Shi Gan didn't seem to expect that he would be asked suddenly, but before coming, he had done a lot of homework and quickly replied: "Because our practice is not enough, our physical and mental health are not enough to carry the mysterious power."

"That's right. But, look, Shi Qingqing beside you has a mysterious power. Why is that?"

As Shi Xiao said, Shi Qingqing was stared at by others, but the girl shrugged and smiled and said, "This is the 'wizard apprentice' profession that my father has invested heavily in wizards and transformed for me. My father originally wanted to ask the Great Elder to take action, but the Great Elder made it clear that he could invite outsiders. My ability is not inherited from the family."

"The times have changed, and the methods of practicing and evolution have also changed. Ancient practices focused on tempering spirit and body and gradually accumulating. When both reach a certain level, learn the mysterious power corresponding to your own talent, which will be twice the result with half the effort and will come naturally. Therefore, our Shi family never allows young disciples to master the mysterious power too early. Learning the knowledge of mystery and using guns and knives is enough to be a demon hunter to deal with most situations. After training to a certain level, practice the mysterious power. At that time, you will have a clearer understanding of yourself and the future path will be smoother."

"Our generation has suffered a lot because of early grasping the power of mystery, so my elder brother set such family rules."

"But now, the times are different. With the continuous increase in the concentration of magic in this world, more and more professional promotion systems have emerged: first-level gunfighters, second-level lonely gunmen, and third-level gun experts. This is the professional promotion system announced by the government. As long as the basic quality requirements are met and then transformed through corresponding mysterious rituals, the transferee can quickly improve their abilities and skills. This evolution method is called the new practice by us old guys. Although it is not as stable as the ancient practice, its efficiency is too many than the ancient practice."

As Shi Xiao’s story was told, the five people present, especially Shi Yi, who was half-understood, gradually gained some understanding.

The so-called ancient practice method is to use various methods to exercise one's physical fitness and mental strength, and then accumulate time. When you meet the basic requirements of the mysterious power of cultivation, you will master the mysterious power. This is natural and safe and you will master it solidly.

The new practice, in conjunction with the tide of magic power, only requires the incoming person to meet the requirements of basic qualities, and can directly improve the incoming person's attributes and even various skills through corresponding mysterious rituals.

The "passing" ritual is of course dangerous. You can think of it with your knees. The higher the level, the more dangerous it is. However, in terms of efficiency, it is probably many times higher than that of ancient practices. Moreover, these two practices are not rejected. Those who are incumbent can also improve themselves through ancient practices. In this way, too pure ancient practices will almost inevitably be abandoned by professionals who pursue their own evolution.

The last extraordinary era is too far away. Although the magic power of this world has never been cut off, the civilization history of the previous era has been cut off. Therefore, no one knows how the extraordinary people of the previous era practiced. Perhaps, the ancient practice is just an adaptive practice method that the extraordinary people passively evolved in response to the low-magic environment in the past thousands of years.

"As a secret family with a long history, when the demon tide first surged, my elder brother had noticed it and took action. At present, there are no less than five profession promotion paths in the family that can be promoted to the third level. There are more than ten other complicated profession promotion paths, but my elder brother never allowed the disciples in the clan to be promoted to the elective and promotion, even if it would make everyone slow down, do you know why this is? Mingxuan, you said."

"Because of one mistake, one step wrong, it is still the beginning of the new era. Many career systems that have emerged are only in the first to second levels. Some professions now seem very powerful, but they are at the expense of future potential. Now, no one can fully see the future clearly. The great elder should hope to find one or several career routes that are strong enough, fit, and have enough potential for everyone to choose." Shi Mingxuan was a little embarrassed because, like Shi Qingqing, he has also made himself first obtain a career route through his family's forces and completed a first-level transfer.

After successfully passing the transformation ceremony, when the incoming person is promoted to the first level, he will be baptized. The incoming person will receive attribute improvement and ability bonus corresponding to his profession, and the further he is promoted, the greater the increase.

The Shi family was cared with dragon blood and was trained since childhood. It was almost no difficulty to pass the first-level transformation ritual and it was bound to succeed. It can be said that it was a method to make one's own strength progress rapidly in a short period of time.

However, Shi Xiao just clicked on the actions of Shi Qingqing and Shi Mingxuan and said nothing more.

...

"In half a year, you will participate in a very dangerous mission. After that mission, the Shi family will obtain a career promotion route that is absolutely in line with themselves. Therefore, in the past six months, you must do your best to improve yourself, otherwise it would be a pity to die in that mission."

"Come with me, I'll take you to a place." As Yan said, Elder Shi Xiao rushed into a grey giant wolf like a bear, and ran up the hillside.

When he heard Elder Shi Xiao's words, Shi Qingqing and Shi Mingxuan's faces changed. They looked at each other and felt a little regretful.

A career promotion route that is absolutely in line with your own?

Normally, this is almost impossible, but if it can be done, it will be of great benefit to the future development of a professional.

If a person with a magical talent of forty and a martial arts talent of sixty, if he chooses a magical profession, his life's achievements may be only one or two levels. If he chooses a martial arts profession, then with the same efforts and encounters, his future achievements may be second or third levels or even higher.

Many times, when you work hard to a certain extent, you have to compete for talent, and talent is difficult to judge in the early stages of a person's life.

No matter what Shi Qingqing and Shi Mingxuan were thinking, the five young people followed Shi Xiao closely, who turned into giant wolfs and ran. This was not easy, but the five of them gritted their teeth.

Suddenly, Shi Mingxuan waved his hand, and after a faint light, everyone, including Shi Yi, felt a little relaxed. Then Shi Qingqing used the technique, and the wind around seemed to turn into his own help, making his body lighter and faster running.

(The ability of wizard apprentice and crusade? Two very powerful professions.) Shi Yi himself is not a profession, but he has seen many professions, so he naturally knows that both the wizard profession and the crusade profession are more orthodox and powerful than the beast trainer profession and the natural priest profession. Of course, the other aspect also depends on the degree of their profession cultivation. If they are not good, no matter how strong the profession is, it is meaningless.

Following the giant wolf, the five people ran all the way to a small valley. Shi Xiao turned back to his human body again, then reached out and pressed a hidden mechanism. When the stone gate slowly opened, he took the lead in. After the other five people followed him, they found that there was a different world here.

"This is an underground prison where twenty martial arts masters, two meditation masters, two alchemists, one pharmacist, one thief, and one sharpshooter... There are 48 people in total. In the next half year, the five of you can ask any of them for advice. Most of them have agreed to teach you. Don't bother too much if you ignore you. If you think they are cheating you and feel that there is something wrong with what you teach you, come and find me."

"Be careful, these guys have committed crimes outside, some of them can be called extremely vicious. Even if they are imprisoned here, they are not allowed to make any small moves. None of you five will be able to learn things, but they will leave their lives behind."

Looking at the huge underground prison in front of him and the guards of the family guards, at this moment, Shi Yi could truly feel the strength of the Shi family, one of the nine cities in the east, and the Shi family was entrenched in one place, and he would like to ask for it like a dragon.

From this day on, Shi Yi and the other five began to practice hard for half a year in this secret place of the family. The Shi family itself, of course, also has the mysterious power and secret skills of the family inheritance, but Shi Xiao also clearly stated that the fundamental inheritance of the Shi family is not conducive to improving combat power in a short period of time, because it is a method of practice that is almost non-science.
