Chapter 74: Qi Vein Bifurcation

Ji Ruo said seriously: "Dirty cats can't eat delicious food!"

He had been washed clean, but Rosie was still dirty. Although black was more resistant to dirt and not easy to see, it was still dirty.

Unexpectedly, when Rosie heard Ji Ruo asking her to take a shower, she suddenly shrank back in fear.

"Meow! Meow! (I don't want to take a bath! I don't want to take a bath! I don't want to turn white!)"

Ji Ruo frowned: "How can you not take a bath? A good child is one who loves to be clean..."

As he spoke, Ji Ruo suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, what turned white?"

Realizing a possible plan, his face changed and he quickly turned around and went back to the bathroom.

There was a mirror on the sink, but because I had been washing for too long just now, the mirror was already covered with mist and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Ji Ruo raised his hand to brush away the mist, and was suddenly stunned.

The young man in the mirror is as sunny and handsome as ever. In fact, because he has broken through the Qi realm, Ji Ruo's overall temperament has also improved to a certain extent.

Of course, if it weren't for that eye-catching white hair, it would be even more perfect...

"How come the color has faded after washing..."

Ji Ruo was stunned and raised his hand to scratch his hair. The person in the mirror did the same thing.

"So the black 'sewage' just now is dirty stuff..."

Ji Ruo has a toothache.

At the same time, he also had a more intuitive understanding of the title of "Soul Singer", which means "the power to stir the depths of the soul".

Damn it, when the special effect of 'Soul King' is triggered, even the color of my hair can be washed off...

"Meow~ (Master...)"

Rosie timidly came to the bathroom door: "Meow~ (Rosie doesn't want to take a shower, Rosie is very clean...)"

Ji Ruo looked back and saw that Rosie's hair had turned black and smooth again, and even emitted a faint fragrance.

In the pet details, Rosie's talent suddenly became——【Talent: Cleanliness; Body odor.】

Ji Ruo shook his head.

"Okay, then don't wash it."

I looked at myself in the mirror again.

Don't mention it, he looks pretty handsome with a head full of white hair...

…

After making breakfast using the high-end ingredients stored in the Vientiane Mirror, Ji Ruo went back to his room, took out his mobile phone and started charging it.

The use of mobile phones is not prohibited during the martial arts exam, but ordinary mobile phones have no signal in Wanshou Mountain, so it is useless to bring one. Ji Ruo simply did not bring one.

Seven days later, Ji Ruo's cell phone had turned off due to lack of battery.

When the phone is almost fully charged, turn on the phone.

Ignoring the fact that his classmates had been spontaneously checking in on their social media accounts because they thought they had died in the Beast Mountain, Ji Ruo started reading the news.

In the first few days, the news was full of negative reports.

By the evening of the next day, all the secret realm transmission devices that could be used in Daxia were overloaded and could no longer transport more people into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

You can only go through the 'gate' of the secret realm.

The secret realm transmission device did not exist from the beginning. In fact, a big part of the reason why Wanshou Mountain could become a martial arts examination training venue was because it could set up a secret realm transmission device.

"Come to think of it, why does the transmission method of that transmission device look a little familiar?" Ji Ruo always felt that he had seen a similar transmission method somewhere.

It's just that I came back too quickly, so Ji Ruo didn't see it clearly.

Let’s get back to the topic.

At that time, some people had even lost hope, thinking that this martial arts exam would definitely be the one with the greatest losses since the implementation of the secret realm martial arts exam system.

I don’t know how many children will die in the secret place.

The road to martial arts has not yet begun, but the end has come.

After the secret realm's teleportation method failed, Daxia officials decided to send troops to enter the Beast Mountain through the secret realm's gate. These troops were originally planning to use the secret realm's teleportation device to enter the secret realm, but unfortunately, the teleportation method failed before they could teleport many people.

A large number of warrior armies gathered at the gate of the secret realm, but before they could enter, an accident happened again.

On the third day, for unknown reasons, the underground veins of Wanshou Mountain once again underwent large-scale changes, and this time, the changes almost teleported all the examinees and the surviving examiners to the gate of the secret realm!

The army assembled outside the secret realm easily brought back all the examinees and patrolling warriors.

"On the third day... it was when the squad leader and I were sent to the mountainside." Ji Ruo touched his chin and said, "Who was it that accurately sent most of the examinees and patrolling warriors to the exit of the secret realm?"

Rosie froze.

I screamed in my heart: I found it! My master found me! Hold on! I can’t expose myself!

Rosie's little head nudged into Ji Ruo's arms and made a soft, meaningless meow.

If you are in a good mood, continue reading the news.

After seven days, there was only good news on the third day of the military examination.

Later, Ji Ruo saw another more interesting post:

"The secret realm martial arts examination system has been abolished. How should the new martial arts examination be carried out?"

If Ji Ruo clicked on this news, he would see some advantages and disadvantages of the secret realm martial arts examination system listed in it.

Ji Ruo thinks some of these views make sense.

First of all, the secret realm martial arts examination system has been implemented for more than 150 years. It is undeniable that although the system has an average annual mortality rate of 3%, the effect is really good.

Ji Ruo, who had personally been to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, knew that the transition from the martial arts disciple realm to the Qi meridian realm was not just a simple breakthrough in realm, but also a change in mentality.

A warrior needs to move forward courageously.

Martial arts is the way of protection and also the way of courage.

In order to open up the meridians, you need to have a strong enough will to break through the shackles at a certain moment.

Human nature is complex, and under normal circumstances, few people can have this kind of feelings. However, in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts, facing a life-and-death crisis, it is not difficult to muster such feelings.

Moreover, the secret realm is full of treasures, and with the presence of patrolling warriors, the candidates are not only taking the test, but also using that environment to grow rapidly.

Therefore, the secret realm martial arts examination system still has its merits.

Unfortunately, this accident happened...

Just slide your finger.

"The space-time of the secret realm is in chaos due to unknown reasons. Warriors in the Golden Body Realm will not be able to enter again in the short term."

"The Director of the Education Department, Gu Xingzhou, has lost contact with the Mysterious Realm of the Mountain of Beasts."

"The rescue operation has hit a bottleneck."

"Education Secretary Gu Xingzhou returned and resigned."

"Gu Xingzhou: 'I will spend the rest of my life atonement for my sins.'"

…

"The number and list of deaths in this martial arts exam."

He slid to the bottom of the news page, paused for a moment, and then clicked it.

In this military examination, the number of candidates who died was less than 1% of the total number of candidates, but the death toll was as high as 70,000.

The ones who died the most were the warriors who were on patrol for the examinations.

The Education Department discovered the problem only half a day after the exam started.

But there are some people who are in the 'examination room' a few days before the exam.

Inspecting warriors.

They were the first to discover the problem and immediately protected all the candidates within their inspection area.

Whenever there is any danger, the patrolling warriors will rush to the front.

More than 70,000 people died in this martial arts examination, of which more than 60,000 were patrolling warriors.

The death toll among candidates in this military examination was the lowest in history.

The plan is to remain silent.

In each martial arts examination, the number of patrolling warriors is one-tenth of the number of candidates, which means that one patrolling warrior is responsible for at least ten students.

There are over one million examinees, which means that the number of warriors patrolling the exam is also over one hundred thousand.

But even so, more than 60,000 warriors died during the examination...

"Meow~ (Master?)"

Noticing that Ji Ruo was in a bad mood, Luo Qian was a little confused.

"It's OK."

Ji Ruo took a deep breath and adjusted his mood a little.

He saved the last long list of news items on his phone and then opened the messaging app.

Looking at the messages from classmates, Ji Ruo replied to them one by one.

After replying, Ji Ruo took a deep breath and began to practice martial arts.

There is no shortcut to practicing martial arts, and training hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer is not just talk.

Spiritual plants and the flesh and blood of monsters can only make a warrior run faster in martial arts practice, but it does not directly erase the process of hard work.

Steam rose from Ji Ruo's head, and Ji Ruo became confused while practicing.

The Baihui acupoint on the top of his head opened and closed, breathing in and out the spiritual energy. The meridians in the boy's body, which had just been opened not long ago, split...

…
