Babel
November 10, 2023, a seemingly ordinary day, left an indelible memory in the hearts of countless people. Even if they have seen more powerful magic in the future, they will never forget this day - they first realized what real "magic" is, and the despairing gap between humans and Parnagi.
The first thing that came into my ears was a melodious chant, which sounded a bit like Su Mu's "famous song" that had been played everywhere on short video apps. But compared to that folk-style minor tune, the melody Su Mu was singing at this moment was obviously more grand, and the sense of eternity that came over me made me feel like I was traveling through time and space.
"What language is this?" Commander Zhao lowered his voice and asked the linguist who had been following him.
"This language does not exist in any of the official Parnaqui language systems currently available." The linguist could not hide his enthusiasm: "This should be the language that only the ancient Parnaqui race in the legend can master."
As Su Mu chanted, the waves beneath his feet surged violently, spreading to both sides like Moses parting the sea, revealing the sand and rocks hidden under the ocean.
"this..."
Everyone couldn't believe what they saw - the sea where the ship was located was a full 1,100 meters deep!
Even though they had already witnessed the true strength of Lin Yuan and the other two, An Xueyi and the other four who were now staying at the headquarters in City B to watch the live broadcast could not help but be severely shocked.
Is this really the level that human power can reach?
No, are these three people still really human?
But they didn't expect that this moment was just the beginning of the shock.
The water that was split apart under Su Mu's feet was just the product of the impact of magic. Su Mu had just finished chanting the magic. As Su Mu opened his arms to both sides, the faintly visible scales covered his cheeks and arms, and this carefully prepared ritual was finally completed.
"Secret Book: Tidal Field"
——Just like there are different levels of magicians, magic also has different levels. The most common magic is elementary, intermediate, and advanced, the "ultimate magic" that only a very small number of magicians can master, the "forbidden magic" that almost only great magicians can use, the "super-level magic" that only a few great magicians can use freely, and the "innate magic" that some powerful races pass down through their blood.
The "Secret Book" is a brand new magic that the students casually discussed during a class meeting. It is also their "original magic" and the students' real trump card.
Compared to the relatively fixed power of forbidden spells, pure killing weapons, and super-level magic that is very easy to get out of control, the power of the "Secret Code" is more flexible, and the power caused by different inputs of magic power will be completely different. It is a magic with a very high lower limit and a very high upper limit. When the students of Class 9 use their full strength, the magic power is even higher than the legendary "super-level magic". It is also the "Secret Code" that has allowed the students to stand firmly in the first echelon of Parnaki without any dispute, and no one has been able to surpass it since they came on the stage.
Now that Su Mu's magic power reserve is limited, it is not enough to complete the early chanting of the "Secret Codex". Therefore, this magic is not completed by Su Mu alone. In order to leave an unforgettable memory and absolute shock to the Chinese officials, Lin Lang, Chen Qiting and other students who are good at formations have arranged contracts for everyone in advance. At this moment, 25 people including Rui Hang share magic power and cooperate with Lin Yuan and the other two to complete this grand "performance".
...
Under Su Mu's precise magic control, the separated seawater turned into two water dragons and flew into the air. At the same time, Lin Lang and Lin Yuan also completed their magic preparations. They shouted and reached out to the exposed sand and gravel.
The sea water surged wildly once again, and the sand and gravel trembled. In everyone's dull gaze, the sand on the seabed seemed to be the "Xiran" in mythology, splitting and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The water dragon controlled by Su Mu rushed towards the sand and mixed with it. Su Mu gently clenched his right hand, and the sand and water mixture quickly froze under the injection of magic power, forming a metal-like and marble-like block, and quickly built the outline of the building through the blocks - if there were people who were keen on games at this moment, they would not be able to help but exclaim that the scene before their eyes seemed like they were playing a real-life version of MC.
"This is..." The scientists around Chief Zhao were dumbfounded: "Are they creating a completely new substance?!"
"How is this possible!" Someone nearby immediately retorted subconsciously, but the voice sounded unconvincing: "This is just sand and sea water!"
"Now that magic has appeared, what else is impossible to achieve?"
While the scientists were arguing, Lin Yuan and the other two were quietly chatting on private channels.
"I feel like I'm being squeezed dry." Su Mu had a blank expression on his face, still maintaining the cold and sacred side of the Mermaid King. He only dared to wail wildly in a private channel where no one could hear him: "Why is this secret book so useless!"
"Please don't say that. I feel like I am a ruthless magic converter." Lin Yuan said faintly, "The magic flowed through my body, leaving me with nothing."
"Don't bother me while I'm creating!" Lin Lang said, "I almost created something in Picasso style."
"What's wrong with Picasso? It's so artistic." Su Mu urged: "If it's up to you, just use your imagination and do whatever you like. You can even build a "big pants". "
"Anyway, it's better looking than the matchbox Su Mu built in Kyrenia (Mermaid Kingdom). With him backing you up, no matter how abstract your build is, it will still look good." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Hey, brothers and sisters, can you please stop chatting? Our class is running out of magic power!" Bai Luo's voice rang out faintly in the private channel.
Lin Yuan and the other two: "Right now! Immediately!"
...
Before the magic power of the entire class was completely consumed, a thousand-meter-high building, like the legendary "Tower of Babel", rose from the ground.
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and stopped controlling all the sea water in the sea area.
With a loud bang, two thousand-meter-high waves smashed directly towards the "Tower of Babel". The waves caused by the fall were more than ten meters high. They hit the aircraft carrier directly, but the moment they got close to the aircraft carrier, they were stopped in mid-air by Su Mu and gently fell back into the sea.
Although hit by two waves that were strong enough to destroy most of the buildings along the coast, the "Tower of Babel" did not even have a trace of crack and still stood firmly in the water.
“This is a miracle...”
Someone uttered a sigh, but no one criticized him for being too "feudal and superstitious". Everyone stared blankly at the sea level that had returned to calm, and the building that protruded about 20 meters above the sea level, like an offshore drilling platform.
Chief Zhao, a group of scientists and nearly a thousand soldiers on the aircraft carrier, and leaders in City B...
Countless pairs of eyes gathered in the South China Sea, and the same words emerged in everyone's mind: So this is the real magic?
...
The reason why the students of Class 9 chose to build the base in the sea was not because they wanted to show their true strength in front of the officials and intimidate them.
For mutants, it is more difficult to escape from the ocean than from land. After Su Mu's magic power is integrated into the building, it will become his "eyes". As long as Su Mu is willing, he can "see" everything that happens in the base at any time. At the same time, Su Mu's magic power is evenly integrated into the nearby sea area through the "Secret Codex". This is also the real reason why Su Mu chose to use the "Secret Codex" - the real power of this move is not that it can control the sea water within a range, but that it can fuse the water element with the real "water" through the technique, so that his magic power is evenly dispersed throughout the sea area.
As long as Su Mu has enough magic power, he can freely control any sea area that involves his magic power, including separating sea water, creating tides, causing storms... and even directly freezing the entire sea area.
Even Rui Hang, once entering the ocean, cannot guarantee that he can defeat Su Mu 100%.
In the realm where the "water element" exists, all water is his hands, his eyes, an extension of his body, and a weapon he can control.
Therefore, if any mutant imprisoned in the "Tower of Babel" tried to defect, even if Su Mu was in Y City thousands of miles away, he could kill the mutant in the sea through remote control. Unless the mutant's magic power was so strong that it could evaporate the entire ocean in an instant - this operation had only been accomplished by Rui Hang, who was at his peak.
After showing off his power, Su Mu returned to the deck with his remaining magic power. Before he could continue to pretend to be a hermit, his legs went weak the moment they touched the ground and he almost fell forward.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was quick-witted and his magic power consumption was relatively the lowest among the three. He quickly controlled the sea breeze and held up Su Mu's body steadily when he fell, maintaining Su Mu's master posture.
Chief Zhao, who had previously addressed Su Mu as "young friend", took several deep breaths before coming back to his senses from the shock. He looked at Su Mu with admiration in his eyes and asked, "May I ask what your status is in Parnaki?"
——In order to create a sense of mystery and continuous explosive points, in order to bring continuous identity shocks to the authorities, Lin Lang and Su Mu deliberately did not disclose their identities, and only vaguely stated in the information sent by Lin Yuan that they were also time travelers who had experienced a hundred years of adventure in another world.
After brewing for dozens of minutes, Su Mu has now completely grasped the feeling of being the Mermaid King. With the support of Lin Yuan, he stood with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and the aura of the Mermaid King was fully revealed: "Ruler of the Kingdom of Kyrenia, Chief of the Mermaid Tribe - you can call me His Majesty the 'Mermaid King'."
Lin Lang/Lin Yuan: "...It's too much! You better calm down and don't let others scare you!"
Su Mu immediately lowered his arms, raised the corners of his mouth a little more, and put on a friendly attitude: "——But our socialism doesn't talk about feudalism, Chief Zhao, you can just call me Xiao Su."
Chief Zhao was flattered: "Okay, okay..."
How come there is another mermaid king? How many surprises are there among this group of people that I don't know about?
"Speaking of which..." Major Zhang, who was following behind Chief Zhao, suddenly said, "There is something we hope the three of you can help with."
"We are old acquaintances, Major Zhang, just say it." Lin Yuan said.
Major Zhang's expression softened a bit, and he finally smiled: "It's not a big deal—"
...
At 8:30 in the morning, the hall used as a classroom in the holiday villa was now full of students. The students, who came from 34 provincial administrative regions from all over the world, looked at Lin Lang and the other two who were said to be their teachers in front of them with confused and puzzled expressions.
"Hello, students." Lin Lang held the microphone and said calmly, "From today on, the three of us will be your magic teachers."
Students: “???”
What the hell?
