C2 A Demon Beast from the Sky(part I)
Green Cloud Town, Gu Lin Clan!
An old man was fiddling with a table. On the table, there were two pairs of chopsticks, two bowls of congee, and some side dishes. It seemed as though he was waiting for someone to come back.
At this moment, Gu Lin's childish face was full of smiles, but on close observation, there was a hint of bitterness in it. Before he even stepped into the room, he called out to his grandfather, "Grandfather, I've been accepted into the Four Spiritual Academy, come out quickly."
When the old man raised his head and saw Gu Lin's excited face, he hurriedly stood up and excitedly said, "Really?" Had he really been accepted by the four spirits?
As long as they were outstanding children, the four great powers would send them directly to the Four Spiritual Academy to study. After graduation, they would work for the four great powers.
"This old man is Gu Lin's grandfather, Gu Shan."
Really! Grandfather, this is the manager of the Heavenly Dragon Prefecture. The Heavenly Dragon Prefecture knows that, but he is one of the four strongest factions in the Central Region. Uncle Qing Jin is the person in charge of the recruitment.
Qing Yin couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. After all, in the entire Central Region, there were very few people who had such pure feelings for each other. He had also seen a child that had just reached the full moon and his own parents had sold him to someone else to be a servant.
Alright, Gu Lin, hurry and pack your things. The test is about to end.
Gu Lin was a little reluctant to let go of Gu Shan's embrace, he grumbled: "Grandpa, why don't I go?"
Gu Shan rolled his eyes at Gu Lin and said, "What did we say?" Gu Shan lowered his voice and said, "If you want to change your Spiritual Pulse, you must enter the Four Spiritual Academy. Didn't you work hard for this faith?"
In any case, as long as I have grandpa you protecting me is enough, why do I have to leave grandpa? Only grandpa is the best to me in this world, I don't want to be separated from grandpa, Gu Lin used a childish tone and said.
Alright, alright! It's not like you won't be able to come back after you go to the Four Spiritual Academy.
I knew grandpa would find me annoying, hmph, after he finished speaking, Gu Lin ran into the house.
"Cough, cough!"
Being laughed at by the supervisor, Gu Lin had always had this temper since he was young, Gu Shan said apologetically.
It's fine, old man. A child is a common thing, but old man, do you know how great your grandson is? He has the blood of the four gods, and in the Central Region, there hasn't been any problems before. I don't know who the parents of this child are, Qing Yin said with a smile, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Hearing this, a lonely look flashed across Gu Shan's eyes. He had easily caught it.
I remember that day, Gu Lin's parents happened to come to the mountain to hunt. It was on that day that, for some reason, the demonic beasts of the Fallen God Mountain began their frenzied assault on our town, and Gu Lin's parents disappeared at that time as well. While speaking, Gu Shan didn't head in the direction of the house. Gu Lin might have heard something.
"That is my fault, old man," Qing Yin said apologetically.
It was just that the little fellow Gu Lin didn't know anything and would be taking care of him in the future.
'Old man, don't mention it. With that kid Gu Lin's talent, if word of him getting taken care of gets out, I'm afraid I won't even be able to compete for him. 'Qing Sui smiled.
In the room, although Gu Shan had lowered his voice, Gu Lin was born with a four spiritual body, so his hearing was naturally much better than that of an ordinary person. In fact, Gu Lin had long known that his parents were gone, but he was afraid that his grandfather would feel sad, so he didn't speak.
Grandpa, don't worry, I will train hard. When the time comes, I will go find my parents. If I can't find them, I will kill those demon beasts and take revenge for my parents.
Gu Shan said in shock: "You already know?"
I knew it a long time ago, but I was afraid that grandpa would be worried, so I didn't tell grandpa about everything.
You child, grandpa does not ask you to have much ability, but only asks you to live your entire life in peace and stability. If grandpa had the ability, then grandpa would not want you to become a cultivator, you know? Gu Shan dotingly stroked Gu Lin's hair.
Elder, you're overthinking things. With Gu Lin's talent, no one has ever been able to compare to him since ancient times … Qing Ding was slightly stunned at these words, but quickly replied. He was afraid that Gu Lin would suddenly stop and suffer a great loss.
Gu Lin, Grandpa has nothing else to say to you. You must take good care of yourself on your way out. If you encounter any danger, you can just run away. Don't use your loyalty to do anything, you know.
Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. When he thought of his parents, Gu Lin's eyes exuded a deep hatred. Grandfather has aged a lot in these past few years, all because of the Spiritual Slope.
The grandfather-grandson pair chatted for a long time, and only when Qing Yin said that she was leaving did they reluctantly say their goodbyes.
For some reason, there seemed to be a lot of people on this small road today. Everyone was looking in front of them, and among the group of people, there were two little guys who were also looking behind them. This was because behind them were their relatives, and there was a place to raise them.
"Gu Lin," when you arrive at the academy, you must learn to take good care of yourself and stop trying to be brave. If you encounter anything, you must think twice before acting. You must listen to your teacher and stop being so naughty.
Grandpa! Looking at his grandfather's waving arm, Gu Lin's heart was filled with reluctance. Since he was young, Gu Lin had never left Qingyun Town, and it could be said that this town was his everything. The first time he left, he would need a very, very long time to return.
Gu Lin, don't cry. You must learn how to be strong and endure when you're strong, Qing Sui said.
Gu Lin reluctantly looked at his grandfather, as well as the town's aunties and uncles. In the end, he still looked into the distance. Goodbye! Grandfather, goodbye to Green Cloud Town.
Early morning, when the first rays of the sun shone on the earth.
It had been almost half a month since he left Greencloud Town. Gu Lin sighed in his heart.
Uncle Qing Jin, how much longer do we have to go to the Meilan City? Gu Lin, after all, is still a child.
Meilan City is located in the southernmost area of Central State and it is also known as the Fierce Iron Sun. It is one of the strongest and strongest cities in the five continents and our Four Spirit Academy is also there. With the strength of our unicorn, we still have about half a month to reach there. If you feel bored while riding in the car, you can come out and ride this unicorn.
Great! Great! As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lin impatiently climbed out of the carriage and ran to the side of a unicorn, saying, "So beautiful."
Unicorns are the descendants of ancient dragon horses and gnus, and they belong to the descendants of divine beasts. Although the power of their bloodlines is very thin, they can still be used as mounts. Don't underestimate this unicorn, a city lord might not even have one.
Really! "Then today, I've gotten the blessings of Uncle Qing Jin," Gu Lin said excitedly.
Haha, you really know how to talk. Go up! Just as he finished speaking, Gu Lin's hands pressed down and his feet glared. He went up like this, haha, riding unicorns, riding unicorns, Gu Lin said while laughing.
"Huh?!" Unicorns were generally very resistant to riding on the back of humans. Other than cultivators, although their bloodlines were thin, they were still descendants of Divine Beasts. Qing Yin felt a little surprised, but soon she understood. Four spirits, what was wrong with that?
"Haha, Uncle Qing Jin, you're really slow." Haha, Uncle Qing Jin, you're really slow.
"Whiz!" "A little brat, you haven't even learned how to leave yet and you want to run away? You want to surpass me?" Qing Xin smiled and said as she waited for you to continue practicing.
For some reason, the mountains here came one after another, and Gu Lin was feeling a little tired after getting excited as he was becoming a unicorn for the first time.
"Gu Lin!" Qing Jin called out from behind.
Is there something Uncle Qingcun wants from me? said Gu Lin, his voice still tinged with fatigue.
You are still far from being fit to ride this unicorn for a long time. Go back to the carriage first, there is food in the carriage, and after you arrive at Meilan City, you will have to register at the academy to have a good rest.
"Hm!" Ok, Gu Lin obediently jumped off the Unicorn and entered the carriage.
The interior of the carriage was very spacious because Yan Lei was the only one inside. The carriage was filled with all kinds of food and beverages, as well as seats and thick blankets. It was much more comfortable to sit on than a unicorn.
I say, Yan Lei, what do you think we should do if we don't have any money after entering Meilan City? Grandfather already gave us over ten gold coins before he left, Gu Lin's voice sounded a little tired as he said.
Are you stupid! So as long as we don't leave the academy, it should be fine by the time we graduate. However, I heard Auntie You Jing say that if you want to graduate from Four Spiritual Academy, you need to have at least the level of Form Condensation. It feels very far, but Gu Lin, have you ever thought about whether you want to train in the spirit or martial arts, because your Four Spiritual Body is special, so no matter what, it's good. Yan Lei's voice carried a trace of excitement.
"Is there a big difference between a spirit cultivator and a martial cultivator?" Gu Lin asked curiously.
Damn! Let me tell you this, spirit cultivators use the power of their own bloodline to summon out the spirit forms of the four gods. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the four spirits; in the end, they would be similar to the summoned demon beasts and it would be easier for a martial cultivator to form their spirit energy into a physical entity to help them in battle. Also, the most important thing is that we can all sign a spirit beast.
Uncle Qingcun seemed to have told me before that cultivators can only sign one spiritual beast. If you sign one spiritual beast, you will be affected by the backlash of the other. However, you know a lot about Yan Lei.
"Of course," Yan Lei replied with a smile. There was a hint of pride in his tone.
"Then can you tell me some stories about spirit beasts? Otherwise, I'll be bored to death on the way here," Gu Lin said with a sigh.
"Great!" Generally speaking, spirit beasts are divided into two types, one type is the output type, and the other type is the defense type. In this type, the flying spirit beasts under the condensed form are the most precious, because they can protect us the most, and we cannot fly without the conformation type, and once the spirit beasts have signed a contract with us, they will only protect us once, and they won't betray us, and we can't give up on our own spirit beasts, so we can only sign one type of spirit beast in our lifetime.
Listening to what Yan Lei said, Gu Lin revealed a thoughtful expression. According to what Uncle Qing Jin said, some of the spiritual beasts are growth-type, and some are intelligent type, I think I will find myself a growth-type spiritual beast. After all, according to what you said, I can dual cultivate it, Gu Lin said as he shook his head.
"Of course. You are from our Green Cloud Town, and not a peerless genius from the Central Continent. What's wrong with that?" Yan Lei laughed.
On the way, Yan Lei would often tell Gu Lin stories that he had never heard before. Although Yan Lei was only one year older than Gu Lin, Yan Lei had roamed around with his family members since he was young, and he had also experienced that beast tide six years ago. This also made Gu Lin not as mindless as he was before.
"Gu Lin, after we cross these two mountains, we will reach Meilan City. At that time, I will bring you to see the Headmaster," Qing Yin said to Gu Lin.
"Okay." Uncle Qingcun, just as he finished his sentence, suddenly —
"Boom!" The entire sky seemed to have been covered up by something as the sky turned dark.
The sound gradually became louder. Not only Gu Lin, but even the unicorn was frightened and began to hiss.
Although he didn't know what the monster was, the green inch monster reacted immediately and let out a loud roar.
"Roar!"
On the head, look, what's that on the head.
Finally, as the distance between them shortened, the enormous creature appeared.
When Gu Lin and Yan Lei saw this huge monster, they were completely shocked. As for Qing Ding, her quiet reaction was extremely fast. She directly stood in front of Gu Lin Yan Lei, protecting them with her life.
The face of the Spirit Gathering Realm greater demon, the golden-eyed Tyrant Dragon, went ghastly pale.
Big, big, big, what a big, this was a demonic beast? Gu Lin was completely shocked.
Its body was over fifty meters long, and when it spread its wings, its body was thirty meters wide. This was simply not a feeling, okay? The biggest thing Gu Lin had seen since he was young was this unicorn, but now the unicorn compared to the one flying in the sky, it was like a baby compared to it.
