After eleven hours of flight time and the reverse time difference, it was already morning when we were approaching Dongxia.
Compared to the attack by mutant birds on the way here, the journey back was very smooth.
Looking at the sea of clouds that was dyed golden by the sunlight, Chen Chu felt inexplicably emotional and couldn't help but recall everything that happened in this trial.
To sum it up, it was a safe bet, and his cultivation base soared to the middle stage of the third heaven. His combat power was far beyond his current realm, and under normal circumstances, it was stronger than the middle stage of the fourth heaven.
If the Elephant's Fury Rune is activated, the combat power can suppress and kill the late Fourth Heaven. It can last for about twenty minutes under burst, and then will be weak for two days.
And the longer the outbreak lasts, the weaker you will feel afterwards, after all, your energy and blood will be burned.
This is also the reason why Chen Chu did not take any mission after killing the blood messenger. His legs were weak.
Just as Chen Chu tilted his head and looked at the endless sea of clouds outside the window with his thoughts floating, he did not notice that Luo Fei's face had been flushed with red at some point.
There was no way, Chen Chu's gaze had to pass over the girl's face, so even though Luo Fei knew that Chen Chu was not staring at her, she was still a little shy.
In the sunlight, the girl's slightly flushed face is white and rosy, and her profile is very beautiful.
At this moment, the flight attendant's voice suddenly sounded over the broadcast: "Attention, we are about to enter Dongxia airspace."
…? Chen Chu came back to his senses, with a puzzled look in his eyes, wondering what was there to be reminded of when entering Dongxia’s airspace.
At this time, the clouds outside the window became thinner, and you could vaguely see the undulating mountains and rushing rivers on the land below, like a magnificent painting.
Then the plane seemed to pass through some kind of barrier, and Chen Chu only felt a majestic energy of heaven and earth coming towards him.
Huh! Chen Chu took a deep breath, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He turned around and saw that it was not only him, but also Liu Feng, Li Meng and others who behaved in a similar way to Chen Chu.
At this time, Pang Long appeared at the front cabin door and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has felt the changes."
"Yes, teacher."
Bai Mu nodded: "The feeling just now was like returning from a barren desert to an oasis full of birdsong and flowers. It's so strange, we never had this feeling before."
"Because you have been living in Dongxia where the energy of heaven and earth is rich, you have long been accustomed to it, and you were weak before, so naturally you couldn't feel it."
Pang Long suddenly asked, "Do you know why the school divides the initial authority based on the time it takes to build a foundation, and gives more resources to students with better talents?"
As he spoke, Pang Long looked at Chen Chu.
There was no way. Chen Chu was the only one here who was practicing low-level skills. Seeing this, he could only cooperate and shake his head.
Pang Long said calmly: "Because resources are limited, this resource includes the cultivation resources you exchange for, and also includes the energy of heaven and earth in Dongxia."
"This energy of heaven and earth is not air. It is a limited resource. The more people practice and absorb it, the greater the consumption will be, and the concentration contained in heaven and earth will become lower and lower."
"Just like normal biological mutations, unborn fetuses and growing children will also be affected by the strong energy."
"This is also one of the reasons why more and more people in Dongxia have the qualifications to practice in recent years, and why we control the spread of the skills."
"Until this solution is found, the authorities will not completely allow the cultivation of the exercises. Otherwise, the energy of heaven and earth will be consumed crazily and the gains will not outweigh the losses."
"You should know that a genius who has cultivated to the king level is far more important than tens of thousands of ordinary practitioners, whether in terms of peak combat power or the value of creation."
"Of course, the authorities have not given up on those with average qualifications and have provided standard training. However, whether you can stand out depends on yourself."
"After all, the initial foundation building is just the first screening, and it cannot detect all geniuses. Moreover, not being a genius does not mean that there is no value in life."
"The Human Federation is a whole, made up of hundreds of millions of people. Everyone can find their own suitable position and concept of existence in the Federation."
"Just like us, when we were cultivating in school, our aptitude was only middle to lower level. After more than ten years, we slowly cultivated to the peak of the sixth level and became school teachers."
"What? Teacher, your talent was only below average back then."
Liu Feng was a little surprised: "You are all at the peak of the sixth level now, doesn't that mean that the geniuses of the same period are at the eighth level, or even above the ninth level?"
Pang Long nodded: "Almost, but many of them died."
In an instant, the entire cabin fell silent, and everyone's face showed astonishment.
"Many are dead!" Bai Mu swallowed.
Pang Long said calmly: "As geniuses, they also bear more responsibilities when enjoying a large amount of resources from the Federation. In this case, the danger they face is far greater than ours."
"Some fell on even more tragic battlefields, some died in battles with terrifying beasts, and some disappeared on the road to exploring unknown territories."
"Of course, these are all voluntary. No one forced us, even though we have fought on the front lines for many years and experienced countless bloody battles."
"Well, I've strayed off topic. This is too far away from you. Let's get back to the point. As a new generation of geniuses, the better you perform, the more resources you will receive."
"For example, in this trial, in addition to the contribution points that have already been obtained, anyone who breaks through the third level in the trial can obtain the authority of the secret law."
"There are some extra rewards for the top 100. Almost all of these people have killed Fourth Heaven believers above their level."
Am I there too? Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Teacher, what is the extra reward?"
Pang Long glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Higher exchange and information permissions, such as your Dragon Elephant Kung Fu advanced skill Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body, are not skills that ordinary students can exchange."
"In addition, you can also choose a common secret method for free. Under normal circumstances, each of these secret methods requires hundreds of contribution points to redeem."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Chen Chu's face. He didn't expect that there would be so many extra gains.
Especially the secret technique that was equivalent to 100 contribution points, which was almost equal to the total income of his trial.
At this time, Li Meng asked curiously: "Teacher, can I ask how the Federation restrains the invisible matter of heaven and earth energy within the territory of Dongxia?"
In response to this question, Pang Long simply said, "This problem is very simple. Just set up a barrier that covers the entire Dongxia and only restricts the energy of heaven and earth."
"...barrier?" Everyone looked at each other.
"You don't have to think too much. This is a method above the king level."
"And the Lord who set up the barrier covering the entire Dongxia is even more powerful than a god in the conventional sense. He is an existence above gods."
"And it's not just us in Dongxia. Simon and Beilin also have this kind of barrier covering the entire country."
"Okay, we will arrive in Wujiang in about an hour. You can go home and rest for two days, and report to school the day after tomorrow." After saying that, Pang Long returned to the front cabin.
But the news he just revealed shocked everyone.
Chen Chu was also a little surprised.
He never knew that the entire Dongxia was shrouded in a huge and boundless barrier, which restrained the energy of heaven and earth from flowing to the outside world but did not affect the penetration of matter.
As for where these energies of heaven and earth come from, of course it is the mythical world where those giant beasts live.
Chen Chu turned his head slightly, looked at Luo Fei who also looked a little shocked, and asked in confusion: "Luo Fei, is this the first time you have heard of this?"
"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly.
Chen Chu was a little surprised: "Don't you and the squad leader have high-level practitioners in your family? How come you don't know this?"
"Who said there is a cultivator in my family?" The girl couldn't help but give Chen Chu a blank look with a smile in the corner of her eyes, like a little fox with a hint of charm.
Luo Fei then explained: "And even if it was the monitor's family, they probably wouldn't tell them this in advance."
"If you haven't reached a certain level of strength and realm, knowing some information in advance will only cause more troubles, and may even lead to unrealistic ambitions, which will affect your cultivation mentality."
"There is no high-level person in your family. No, there is no cultivator." Chen Chu keenly grasped the key point.
He had always thought that Luo Fei's background was the same as Lin Xue and the others, but he didn't expect that she was just as ordinary as him... That's not right, ordinary families can't afford weapons like sniper guns.
Not to mention the guns, just those bullets that are powerful enough to kill the third and fourth heaven blood users are worth a fortune.
In response to this question, the girl just smiled and didn't reveal much.
Not only Chen Chu, but also Liu Feng and others were discussing Pang Long's words. It was obvious that their hearts were also greatly shocked and envious.
I envy Chen Chu and the other guys who have a record of killing enemies higher than their level. They can choose a secret technique, and after returning this time, they will have higher core authority in the school than them.
The next hour passed quickly, and as the roar of the engine subsided, the plane suddenly landed on the runway.
At the side of the track, Lin Xiong and six other teachers stood in front and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has made great progress in this trial and has lived up to the school's expectations."
"However, we teachers and schools are only paving the way and guiding you. We can only protect you within a certain range."
"Whether you will become a top-level expert in the Ninth Heaven or just be lost in the crowd in the future depends on your own efforts."
"Okay, according to the regulations, the weapons and equipment are still stored in the school. A staff member will help you check them back and send you there."
"Everyone, get in the car."
Chen Chu and others boarded the school's airport shuttle bus one after another. Soon the two buses entered the city area. Tall buildings came into view and the roads were crowded with cars.
Chen Chu inexplicably felt like he had returned to civilized society, but there was nothing he could do about it, as Luoya was too backward and poor.
"Achu, what should I do if I suddenly feel a little nervous?" Xia Youhui, who was sitting in the front, was a little nervous.
Chen Chu was speechless: "Why are you so nervous? We are just going to the trial, not to kill people or do anything shameful. Besides, it's only been two months."
Xia Youhui looked at him strangely: "Aren't we going there just to kill people and set fire to things?"
Pfft! Luo Fei beside her couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Xue, who was sitting opposite, said unhappily, "Xia Youhui, if you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. We are here to suppress those evil believers on behalf of justice. They are killing people and setting fires."
"Uh... this was clearly said by Achu, why are you talking about me, squad leader?" Xia Youhui looked a little innocent.
Lin Xue said as a matter of course: "I can't beat that guy now, how can I dare to say anything about him? What if he challenges me in front of everyone after school?"
"So you just bully me, squad leader. You are too realistic." Xia Youhui looked sad and angry.
Lin Yu, who was sitting next to Lin Xue, said with a smile, "It's not reality. It's called being a wise man who knows the times. My sister has always been like this."
After returning to the familiar city, everyone's tense spirits were completely relaxed, and the solemn atmosphere in the car disappeared amidst jokes.
In another car, Lin Xiong and others were discussing the school's rewards for outstanding students in this trial in addition to the official rewards.
