In the classroom, as Zhu Fujin made his sarcastic remarks, everyone looked at each other, thinking that Lin Hao had offended the former.
After all, Lin Hao is now considered a popular figure among the freshmen.
Even the Lord of the Mansion loves him very much.
Two days ago, in order to recruit Lin Hao into his mansion, he gave him five Blood Qi Pills and two Marrow Cleansing Pills at once, completely breaking the previous rules and rewards.
In response, Lin Hao remained silent.
Teacher Qiuyun has already agreed to let him sit in on the class, so arguing with this fat pig is just a waste of time.
Moreover, although Lin Hao already knew how to inscribe runes, did he have to demonstrate it just because of a question from the other party?
No way.
Seeing that Lin Hao didn't say anything, Zhu Fujin thought that he had indeed predicted the former's ability, and suddenly felt very proud of himself.
So what if he's a genius? He's still being trampled upon by me.
"Zhu Fujin, if you have any opinions, you can speak out. There is no need to verbally humiliate Lin Hao."
Teacher Qiuyun frowned slightly and spoke seriously.
"humiliation?"
Zhu Fujin shook his head and grinned, "Teacher Qiu, you really misunderstood me."
“I just think that although Lin Hao has excellent talent for cultivation, practicing spells and runes is extremely demanding.”
"Even the simplest rune inscription is not a gap that a blind man can cross. I just want him to have self-awareness in advance."
"Otherwise, it will only make Teacher Qiuyun spend more energy teaching him, delaying everyone's course progress..."
Zhu Fujin seemed to be getting more and more excited as he spoke, and he came up with all kinds of reasons and opinions almost at will.
His words resonated with some people.
Yes, why should they slow down the progress of their teaching just for a blind person?
Human nature is multifaceted. Some people cannot stand the fact that others are better than themselves, and they can't wait to pick out the other person's flaws and belittle them.
At this moment, Lin Hao's eyes became the stepping stone for those people to find a sense of superiority.
In their opinion, even if Lin Hao possesses the ultimate talent for cultivation, so what.
If you can't see, just find a comfortable job and live a decent life. Why come here to fight for resources?
Teacher Qiuyun's brows, which were originally slightly furrowed, slowly relaxed at this moment.
It seemed that there was some truth in Zhu Fujin's words.
Lin Hao came here to learn rune magic, and as a mentor, she welcomed him from the bottom of her heart.
But in her more than ten years of teaching experience, she had never taught a blind person to learn magic.
Now that I think about it, it’s a bit tricky.
"Fatty Pig, you are a piece of trash who got in through the backdoor, what do you think you are?"
However, Qin Yu could no longer sit still. His handsome face showed a half-smile, and he also made a mocking sound.
As he spoke, his smile faded, his eyes gradually became colder, staring at Zhu Fujin at the opposite table, and said coldly: "Apologizing is your only choice."
When he heard the word "Fatty Pig", a look of ashen color suddenly appeared on Zhu Fujin's fat face.
There is no doubt that he is quite sensitive to this highly insulting name.
"What can you do to me if I don't apologize? You loser."
Immediately, Zhu Fujin sneered and responded to Qin Yu with the same derogatory term.
Others are afraid of Qin Yu's family background, but he is not.
Although the General's Mansion holds military power and is powerful, they cannot do anything to him unless he commits the serious crime of treason.
Moreover, Zhu Fujin believes that he has reason to be proud.
His father was a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel in the imperial court, and his mother's family was a direct descendant of the city defense army.
Adding the two together, the Zhu family has a very important status in the Great Yan Dynasty.
"You two, enough is enough..."
Seeing that the tension between Qin Yu and Zhu Fujin was growing, Instructor Qiu Yun spoke.
However, just as she was halfway through her words, a warrior from the law enforcement team dressed in black suddenly walked into the classroom.
"Who is Zhu Fujin?"
The man from the law enforcement team glanced at everyone and said coldly.
Zhu Fujin was startled, and quickly raised his hand and asked, "It's me. What's the matter?"
The man from the law enforcement team glanced at Zhu Fujin and said calmly, "Your parents were attacked at home last night and stabbed to death."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Zhu Fujin's face changed drastically and he asked, "Who is the murderer?"
The man from the law enforcement team said indifferently: "I don't know. According to the information sent by your Zhu family's servants, there was no trace left at the scene. The other party should be a killer with extremely superb stabbing skills."
"assassin?"
Zhu Fujin swallowed secretly, his narrow eyes filled with panic.
What should I do now?
His mood suddenly became complicated.
Zhu Fujin has always relied on his parents' family status and has been able to act like a boss in the imperial capital unless he encounters more powerful royal relatives or nobles.
However, now that his parents are dead, his first reaction was grief, but more of a question was what to do in the future?
That feeling was as if the sky was falling, making him somewhat at a loss.
"The vault! I wonder if the vault at home has been stolen!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Fujin's fat trembled violently and he ran out of the classroom in panic.
People who don’t know him would think he is very filial.
"Can a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel be assassinated?"
Lin Hao was slightly surprised.
Moreover, the murderer could not be identified.
In this situation, the only possibility might be that it was the work of the Minge organization.
After all, as a fourth-rank official in the court, a sudden attack would certainly cause a huge sensation.
But at the moment, it seems that the case has been left unresolved and only the family members have been notified.
Therefore, the real mastermind behind the death order is most likely King Yan.
Even if there are some traces left at the scene, the investigating staff will just go through the motions and will not dare to continue investigating. Instead, they will quietly erase the clues.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be digging our own graves to continue the investigation?
Lin Hao didn't think much about it and looked indifferent.
It was someone else who died, and it had nothing to do with him.
Looking at Zhu Fujin's figure running out of the classroom in a hurry, Qin Yu's mouth curled up slightly.
That expression seemed as if he knew the truth.
"Okay, let's start the class. Today I'm going to teach you the principles of how to use magic."
Immediately, Instructor Qiu Yun's voice brought everyone back to their senses.
Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart moved slightly, and he began to concentrate and wait for the class.
Next to her, Zhao Linger noticed from the corner of her eye that Lin Hao's expression suddenly became serious, and she was secretly surprised.
Is he really that interested in magic?
Zhao Linger guessed secretly.
She vaguely remembered that a few months ago when she was still in the Zhao Mansion, Lin Hao entered her bedroom and moved the book "A Brief Explanation of Magic".
However, Lin Hao is blind, so how can he see the contents of the book?
Is it because you can't see that you plan to come here to listen?
The more Zhao Linger thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.
"As we all know, spells require the spiritual power of the caster. Only by inscribing runes can the natural energy of heaven and earth be mobilized."
While Zhao Linger was wondering, Qiu Yun's class had officially begun.
"And among natural energy, there are roughly nine attributes. Each type of spell has its own merits!"
"For example, earth spells are the most powerful in terms of defense. A 'Pulse Guardian' cast can be called an earth-grade treasure armor."
"But in the end, the level of each type of spell is actually about the same. The strength of the spell depends mainly on the level of the caster and the different environments where there are obvious differences."
"For example, in places with water, water magic is the strongest, while in places with strong winds, wind magic has the advantage..."
Listening to Instructor Qiu Yun's lectures, Lin Hao seemed to be lost in thought. His previous speculations and explorations about the principles of magic gradually became clear.
That feeling is like being a lost person and suddenly someone takes out a map for you and points out the location.
All thoughts became clear in an instant.
"What I have said above is the attribute of the spell. The use of runes that follows is the most critical level."
While Qiuyun was lecturing, she would occasionally notice Lin Hao with her beautiful eyes.
In order to make him hear more clearly and accurately, she deliberately raised her voice tone a few degrees and slowed down her speaking speed a little.
"I believe everyone knows that any spell requires runes as a medium to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to perform."
"Among the runes, there are approximately 3,500 basic patterns. Through the arrangement and combination of these basic runes, as well as a series of other changes, various spells can be formed."
Hearing this, Lin Hao suddenly understood.
Before this, he always thought that all he had to do was imitate the rune totems in the books and then cast spells.
Unexpectedly, runes can be arranged and combined to form a variety of ever-changing magic skills in the structure.
Thinking about it this way, the runes he had learned in "A Brief Introduction to Magic" were just some basic patterns.
"Next, I will demonstrate a rune with an attack effect, the 'shock' rune."
As Mentor Qiuyun spoke, she stretched out her slender jade hand, and the moment her mental power spread out, it suddenly gathered at her fingertips.
Then, she casually drew a series of mysterious tracks in the air in front of her.
Under the control of mental power, these lines instantly formed a complex rune totem, flashing an ochre light.
Faintly, the energy in the lines flows, bringing with it a strange sense of vibration.
"This earthquake pattern belongs to the earth element rune, and its name is 'crack earthquake'."
"Once it is used, the ground within a radius of tens of meters will crack and shake, and any object within this range will suffer varying degrees of damage."
A smile appeared on Qiuyun's red lips.
"This is in a classroom, the environment is limited, so I won't give you a live demonstration."
After she finished speaking, she flicked her fingertips and the earth runes in front of her immediately dissipated.
"Next, I will test everyone's level of engraving of the shock pattern. Let's begin."
Following Qiu Yun's instructions, everyone immediately understood and mobilized their mental power to start engraving runes.
Suddenly, light burst out in the classroom, and brilliant lines appeared out of thin air one after another.
However, perhaps it is due to comprehension and proficiency.
Although the rune totems they engraved were the same, there was a clear gap in their levels in the vibration patterns.
At this time, Lin Hao was immersed in contemplation, and his mind was constantly recalling the principles of magic application that Qiu Yun had just mentioned.
If we say that the current attribute runes are all derived from the most basic patterns after combination.
So, if based on this foundation, you can recreate attribute runes that suit yourself, wouldn't that be possible?
"Lin Hao, did you understand what I just heard?"
Seeing that Lin Hao was still sitting there indifferent, Teacher Qiu Yun walked over and asked with a smile.
"I understand."
Lin Hao nodded and said with a faint smile: "However, I am not familiar with the runes of earthquake-splitting."
He wasn't being modest.
The spells he practiced before were limited to the two attributes of wind and thunder.
Therefore, he had almost never come into contact with the rune structure of the earth element, and he had only seen it once just now, so he was unable to demonstrate it accurately according to his memory.
However, his words had a different meaning when heard by others.
Qiuyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Because, although Lin Hao could hear it, his eyes could not see the vibration patterns just demonstrated. What effect would it have if he just understood the application of runes?
After all, the most important point of magic is to inscribe runes.
Lin Hao probably didn't even know what a rune looked like, let alone an inscription.
It seems that what Zhu Fujin said before was indeed correct. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for a blind man to practice magic.
Seeing this, some people who were jealous of Lin Hao's ultimate talent for cultivation all had a playful look on their faces.
"Huh, you think you can practice magic just because you are interested. Don't you think that you are a person with a defective eye?"
"Yes, coming here to audit and study is just asking for trouble."
For a moment, many mocking whispers began to be heard.
Listening to the sarcastic voices around him, Qin Yu frowned, but was unable to refute anything.
Because it is true.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely invite the imperial physician from the palace to see if he can cure Lin Hao's eyes."
Qin Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and he was thinking secretly.
However, at this moment, everyone was surprised to see that Lin Hao suddenly stretched out his hand.
A pure and powerful wave of mental energy emanated from his fingertips.
At the same time, Lin Hao's fingers began to dance.
As the finger shadows swirled quickly, the mental force was pulled to outline a gorgeous trajectory.
Soon, a mysterious and complex rune pattern appeared in front of Lin Hao.
This is exactly the earth rune that Teacher Qiuyun demonstrated just now, the Earthquake Rune.
Although Lin Hao was not very familiar with the structure of the earthquake.
However, Lin Hao often drew the vibration pattern when he was practicing thunder runes.
The number of practice times should not be less than ten thousand times.
Moreover, with the four treasures' shared vision, any scene they see can be replayed in their minds.
Therefore, at this moment, it was not difficult to follow the earth runes demonstrated by Teacher Qiuyun.
In the eyes of everyone, his movements were smooth and easy.
“How…is this possible?!”
Staring at this scene in a daze, everyone was stunned.
The eyes of most people were filled with shock...
