Chapter 225
Before the four of them could say something like "How high-end!", they heard the mechanical voice continue to say—
【Please submit your detailed personal summary report before entering the classroom. 】
Gu Hongying, Yu Tu, Hao Zhizhi, Eric: "..."
How can you collect homework before the class even starts?
In the pure white space, the four people looked at each other, and finally raised their arms at the same time. The submission channel appeared on the personal page of their watches.
After submitting their detailed individual summary reports, they successfully logged into the classroom.
If the classrooms of Miller Kerr University still have some traces of universities in the outside world, then the classrooms of Kunlun are pure future technology. Under their feet is a ground made of unknown material with a black-silver luster. Looking up at the sky, the silver metals are intertwined and overlapped, forming an extremely high ceiling. There are many metal robots sliding silently on the ground around them, and from a distance they look like moving metal blocks.
Perhaps it was because of their login, one of the metal blocks that were moving in a certain pattern suddenly broke away from the group and moved towards them. As it moved, an antenna rose from its head, and oval black eyes appeared on its surface:
【Four newly registered students detected, ready to be sent to the corresponding classroom.】
[Transmission countdown: 5, 4, 3...]
Before the social terrorist Gu Hongying could open his mouth to ask anything, the hard ground beneath their feet suddenly became soft, and then a black and gold light shone brightly, as if they had entered an astronaut training capsule in space. All that was left was dizziness, and when the dizziness wore off, the four of them saw many faces approaching.
Gu Hongying almost jumped up in fright: "What's going on?"
At this time, they were in a "glass column" with a diameter of two meters, surrounded by a circle of students wearing Kunlun school uniforms. From other perspectives, they looked like exhibits in a museum.
Yu Tu was also startled when he opened his eyes, but he did not feel any malice. Through the thick "glass", the emotional feedback he could vaguely sense was all positive, and Yu Tu's tense mind relaxed a little.
"Don't stand around and watch." An old voice drove away the students around, "Be careful not to damage Kunlun's image."
The sword energy swept across from the perimeter where the students were, and automatically separated in front of the "glass column", blasting the surrounding crowd outward. Amid the clanging of the sword energy, there seemed to be quiet and noisy murmurs -
"Ah, hey, hey, why do you use swords to chase people away just because you don't agree with me?"
"Master Yi! We in Kunlun really don't have such a thing as an image!"
"Why did you hit me when I ran so fast this time?"
"Don't step on my shoes! My feet!!"
"Stop pulling at my clothes! My sleeves are going to rip!"
The scene was in chaos and confusion.
The four people in the "glass column" were stunned.
After everyone was away from the "glass column", ripples began to appear on the ground, and a pair of robotic arms "grew" out from the ground and removed the glass cover like an appetizer.
[The test is safe, Kunlun classroom has been secured. ]
Their personal watches all have an additional logo, a small silver sword-shaped icon.
Gu Hongying: "What a rigorous inspection."
"The stricter the inspection, the lower the chance of an accident." The old voice came before the sword was drawn. Now all the students dispersed, and an old man walked slowly towards them. "I am Yi Jiangli, in charge of your morning classes this month. You can call me Old Yi like them."
His face was covered with wrinkles, his beard, eyebrows and hair were all white, and his body was somewhat hunched. He did not look like a god from heaven, but more like a frail old man with a candle.
People who have awakened their spiritual powers will age slower than ordinary people. Normally, a person in his forties will look at most thirty, and people with strong talents can look younger if they maintain their looks. If nothing unexpected happens, the real age of this old man should be older than his appearance.
Gu Hongying and the other three greeted Master Yi, who smiled and said, "Only the first day of class is so complicated. Next time, you can go directly to the classroom after passing through the sword steps."
“Go sit over there.” He waved his hand, and the dark silver ground in the distance seemed to appear out of thin air, with layers of stacked stairs appearing. Each step was covered with dense metal, making it look like a science fiction-style laboratory.
The Kunlun students who were driven away by the wolves before had quickly straightened out their appearance during the conversation. Now everyone was dressed neatly, with their backs straight and their eyes sharp, as if they had been like this from the beginning.
Yu Tu used his eyes to signal to his friends: [Was I blind and deaf before? ]
Hao Zhizhi: [No.]
Gu Hongying: [Kunlun’s friends seem to have a lot of image baggage :)]
Eric: [.]
The four of them communicated skillfully with their eyes while walking towards the sci-fi style experimental platform. Kunlun's technology is quite advanced, and they felt the same pulling force as the Tingjianping.
Yu Tu sat down at his own experimental table and went through identity verification. He thought with a wooden face, this is really unbelievable. Kunlun is simply too sci-fi.
"Everyone, return to your seats." Old Yi walked slowly towards the extra-large experimental table in the middle. The moment he stopped, everyone's experimental table simultaneously projected his shadow, performing the same movements as him.
At the moment the phantom took shape, Yu Tu keenly captured the trajectory of spiritual power flowing along a certain formation. It seemed that Yi Lao's spiritual power was of metal attribute, but after being modified by the formation, the spiritual power projected in front of him became of wood attribute.
Yu Tu stared at the shadow and slightly widened his eyes. What an interesting formation. Perhaps he stared at it and tried to analyze it for too long. Suddenly, a line of small white characters appeared on Yu Tu's black and silver desk:
[Don't be in a daze, or you might get called up by Master Yi to answer questions.]
The signature is Yin Li.
The seating arrangement by Master Yi followed the Five Elements principle: water produces wood, and wood produces fire, so Yin Li's laboratory platform was on his right and Eric's laboratory platform was on his left.
Although it was a high-tech product he had never seen before, Yu Tu quietly explored it and soon figured out how to use the function of "uploading small notes in class".
But before he could pass notes to other friends, he heard Gu Hongying being called, and Mr. Yi asked him with a smile if he could cooperate in setting an example.
Gu Hongying's personality meant that he would not be stage-frightened, so he agreed immediately.
Old Yi waved in the direction of Gu Hongying, and in the face of Gu Hongying's confused expression, he and the laboratory table automatically moved to the empty seat next to Old Yi.
Gu, bewildered, Hongying: "What do you want me to do?"
Elder Yi tapped the table with his hand and said, "Aura-transformed objects, preferably ones that you are good at."
Gu Hongying turned his palm upwards, and a metal cone instantly took shape in his palm. Although he no longer used the metal cone, he had developed a conditioned reflex-like muscle memory from the time he used it to smash the ice chains.
Old Yi glanced at the metal cone and tapped the laboratory table three times with his fingers. A thin glass tube flew out of the three rows of test tubes on the laboratory table and floated above the metal cone condensed by Gu Hongying. The glass tube automatically pulled out the stopper and poured downwards. As soon as the poured liquid touched the metal cone, it made a sizzling corrosion sound.
Gu Hongying's extremely faint perception was attached to the metal cone. The metal cone was corroded, and Gu Hongying's consciousness felt a little painful.
Master Yi smiled slightly and said, "Cut off the perception."
He asked Gu Hongying: "Do you know what this liquid is?"
Gu Hongying stared at the corroded metal cone. The chemical knowledge that he had forgotten for a long time seemed to come back from a distant memory. He asked uncertainly: "A mixture of concentrated nitric acid and... concentrated hydrochloric acid?"
"The foundation of the high school is good." Elder Yi said with a smile, "It's Aqua Regia."
Aqua regia is extremely corrosive and easily deteriorates. Under normal circumstances, it needs to be prepared before use. Master Yi always summons it with a wave of his hand. This is why Gu Hongying is not so sure.
"Everyone, take a look at the corrosion situation." As Master Yi spoke, the corroded metal cones appeared in the shadows of everyone's lab tables at the same time. "Does it look a bit terrible?"
The metal cone in the shadow was exactly the same as the metal cone in Yi Lao's hand. Because he used more aqua regia, the metal cone still made a sizzling sound of corrosion.
"The main components of his metal cone should be copper and iron, which are easy to obtain, beautiful, and hard." Master Yi tried to guide their thinking, "Copper and iron are common metals, everyone is familiar with them, and they are easy to process."
"For example, if the enemy you are facing obtains the finished product of your spiritual power and understands the combination of elements you use most often, then he can set a trap for you that you cannot escape from."
"I know that everyone has awakened their spiritual powers and feels that they are different from the outer world, but everything in the world is always connected. Those who look down on others are likely to suffer losses." Master Yi said, "Just like the student who demonstrated today, if he mixed a large amount of rare elements into the metal cone, I might have to think hard."
Gu Hongying: “!!!”
Master Yi patted Gu Hongying's head and asked him to return to his laboratory table. He looked around at the students in the classroom. Although he was still smiling, there was a serious look in his eyes:
"I'm not saying this to blame anyone. I just want to tell everyone that the knowledge of the inner world needs to be learned quickly, and the things of the outer world cannot be left behind. Spiritual power is not omnipotent."
Regardless of one's strength, spiritual power has a limit and will eventually be exhausted. Transforming spiritual power into objects is a means of survival for every cultivator, so one must not slack off.
"I said that these are not only for students with metal attributes, but also for students with other attributes." Elder Yi said slowly, "Physical chemistry and other courses in the surface world will still be added to your schedule and become part of your study plan."
After he finished speaking, the whole space fell into silence. Looking at those thoughtful faces, Old Yi felt secretly satisfied.
In their first year of school, students are just beginning to come into contact with the knowledge of the inner world that is extremely new to them—the world that only exists in entertainment is now truly presented before their eyes.
They will naturally be excited and happy, and even if the emotions are not positive, they will be urged to work hard. However, Master Yi does not want their psychology to be distorted by exposure to new things.
Reading makes people wise. There is no useless knowledge in the world.
He hopes that these children understand that there are differences between people who have awakened their spiritual powers and ordinary people, but the difference is not huge.
