Twilight Speaker

Chapter 5 Assistant Teacher Chen Xiang and Authority Completion

"Are you sure you found any trace of the box?"

"Seven or eight out of ten."

"where is it?"

"Don't worry about this little guy, everything is under control."

After a pause, the middle-aged man wearing a black hood continued to speak in a low voice:
"The academy is investigating very strictly right now, so there's no rush for now. Anyway, that little guy can't possibly open the wooden box. Once the storm has passed, I'll close the net."

In the shadows on the opposite side, an invisible and blurry figure nodded slightly:
"Praise the Void!"

"Glory to our Lord!" The middle-aged man also nodded heavily.

………………

Chen Xiang pushed lightly, and the old wooden door made a heavy and scratchy creaking sound.

The door opened.

This classroom looks quite strange, with desks and chairs placed around it and a large open space in the middle, making the whole classroom round in shape.

An old man stood in the open space with a hunched back, a young man stood next to him, and there was a huge wooden box covered with black cloth, which reminded Chen Xiang of the small wooden box.

There didn't seem to be many students, about forty or fifty, and they all looked sideways, staring at the uninvited guest with curiosity.

"You're late for your freshman year?"

The old man pushed his glasses, looked very dissatisfied, and said lightly:
"Go down and sit down."

"Professor." Chen Xiang glanced at the professor badge on the old man's chest and was about to explain, but was interrupted by the old professor.

"You still want me to treat you?"

Chen Xiang smiled bitterly, but still explained:
"Professor, I'm the new teaching assistant."

The old professor was surprised, but he didn't care and waved his hand:

"Oh, then you can stand next to me. Lecturer Lin would save trouble by finding two teaching assistants."

Chen Xiang walked forward honestly, and many students looked at him and whispered to each other.

"A new teaching assistant? She's so young? She looks about the same age as us."

"He should be a genius. I wonder how far this new teaching assistant, Mi Wu, has come? Is he better than teaching assistant Wu?"

"Come to think of it, I remember that a lecturer can only have one formal teaching assistant. If Teaching Assistant Chen is here, then Teaching Assistant Wu should be here."

Amid the noisy discussions, Chen Xiang stood obediently beside the old professor and nodded politely to another young man in formal attire and glasses.

The latter just kept smiling.

At the same time, the old professor hunched over and spoke slowly, word by word:

"I am here to substitute for you, so I will only teach you this section. Your previous teacher was Lin Yulang, right?"

"Yes!"

The students turned their gaze away from Chen Xiang and responded in unison.

The old professor lowered his head and put his hands behind his back:
"My teaching method is different from that of Lecturer Lin. He is too slow."

As he spoke, the old professor patted the huge box covered with black cloth beside him.

he asked:
"Do you know what this is?"

The students shook their heads.

The old professor continued:

"Before I reveal the secret, let me ask you again, have you all taken classes on spirit navigation and soul travel?"

The students said in unison:
"Been there!"

"Okay, then let me ask you, what is the spirit world?"

A crisp bell-like sound rang out at this moment.

"The [Spiritual World] completely overlaps with reality, but it is also above reality, transcending reality. There are countless extraordinary lives and even gods roaming around in it. Above the Spiritual World, there is the indescribable [Subspace], which is said to be home to the most evil gods."

Chen Xiang swallowed his saliva. Spirit world, subspace
All the legendary things seem to be right before our eyes.

These terms were both unfamiliar and familiar to him. He had heard of similar things in his previous life, so although he didn't understand the details at this moment, he had a rough outline in his mind.

He looked at the person who answered. It was a girl, about his own age, dressed simply, with long silver hair, each strand clearly visible and neatly arranged.
The lines on the girl's face were very soft, her skin was as white as jade, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. Not still water, but with ripples on it, revealing a sense of cleverness. At this moment, she was lazily leaning on the desk.

As he spoke, the old professor pushed his glasses and looked up:
"Student Wei is right. There are countless extraordinary creatures roaming in the spirit world. It is dangerous, but not as dangerous as the sea of ​​fog. For example, when the Sixth Prince of Donghong Kingdom comes to visit this time, he will go through the spirit world instead of crossing the sea of ​​fog. You are wrong again."

Then, the old professor looked sideways:
"Lift the cloth." Assistant Instructor Wu did not move, but Chen Xiang stepped forward, grabbed a corner of the black cloth and lifted it up suddenly.

The whole classroom was in an uproar!

Chen Xiang's breathing suddenly became rapid, his pupils dilated, his blood flowed faster, and his heart beat heavily.
Close at hand was a dog's head.

A dog head that was half the size of a human, with red eyes, a bloody mouth, and black flames burning on its teeth.

As the flames burned, Chen Xiang seemed to hear wailing, crying, and screaming, interweaving with each other.
"The Hound of the Deep."

The old professor seemed very satisfied with the students' frightened expressions and laughed happily:

"It is an abyssal hound from the spirit world, a lowly and inferior supernatural being, but it has an extremely unique and hard-to-ignore trait, which is the tiny flame on its teeth."

As he spoke, the professor's expression became serious, and he said to the girl who had just answered the question:

"Xiao Wei, come and tell everyone about this flame."

Chen Xiang came back to his senses from a trance and looked at the silver-haired girl, only to see her narrating slowly:

"The Black Flame of the Abyss belongs to the Lord of the Abyss, one of the nine Outer Gods in the legend. These spiritual creatures on the side of the Abyss are just borrowing his authority, but..."

Xiao Wei supported his head:

"However, why does this dead Abyss Hound still retain the Abyss Black Flame? This does not make sense. The Black Flame is the [authority] of the Outer Gods!"

The old professor smiled and said:

"The dean personally took action and temporarily intercepted the cluster of black flames, preventing it from returning to the Dancer. This made it easier to copy the Secret Martial Arts Visualization Diagram."

After a pause, he said regretfully:

"But he is one of the Nine Outer Gods after all. Even a wisp of Black Flame that He doesn't care about. The dean spent a huge price to only capture a trace of the [essence] of the Black Flame, but its power was basically completely lost."

"No wonder." Silver-haired Xiao Wei nodded, her hair trembling slightly, revealing her slender and snow-white neck. She said thoughtfully:

"Professor Wang, isn't this a secret martial arts class? Why did you bring a dog head like this?"

The old professor laughed and seemed to have a good relationship with the girl. He did not answer directly, but said:
"As we all know, the practice of secret martial arts requires visualization diagrams."

Chen Xiang on the side shouted in his heart, I don’t know!
The old professor continued:

"There are three steps in secret martial arts. The first step is to train the skin, flesh, tendons and bones, the second step is to train the internal organs, and the third step is already extraordinary. It seeks to strengthen the spirit and will. Only by laying a solid foundation with these three steps can one withstand the scouring of the extraordinary torrent and step into the extraordinary secret path."

"I've strayed off topic. Anyway, everyone knows about the visualization diagram. It was created to copy a trace of the true meaning of extraordinary life.

Visualization pictures are also divided into different levels. The lowest level is the visualization picture of ordinary extraordinary life, and the highest level is the visualization picture of false gods. As for the visualization picture at the level of true gods, it is too far away, so it is better not to talk about it. "

After a pause, the old professor raised his head slightly:
“But even a low-level extraordinary life visualization diagram is extremely precious, so it is unceremoniously said that many people here cannot even practice secret martial arts and can only study some theoretical courses.”

The students listened quietly, and Chen Xiang also pricked up his ears.

Visualization diagram, secret martial arts, extraordinary.
He was excited but also a little worried.

According to the old professor, secret martial arts is the cornerstone of transcendence, and visualization diagrams are the cornerstone of secret martial arts, and they are extremely precious.
Where can I find a visualization picture?
"And I'm borrowing this dog's head. This is an opportunity for you to touch the essence of this black flame and try to visualize the Abyss Hound in your mind."

The old professor smiled:

"In this way, even without the visualization diagram, everyone has the qualifications to take the first step into the secret martial arts. Come and demonstrate it."

Assistant Wu, who was wearing formal clothes and glasses, had a flash of light in his eyes, but did not move. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation to Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang is a bit of a muggle now.

demonstration?

How to demonstrate?

I know less than my students!!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he stepped forward, recalled the old professor's words, and resolutely placed his hand towards the black flame.

"Are you crazy?!" The old professor almost couldn't catch his breath, but it was obviously too late.

Chen Xiang placed his fingers on the wisps of dark flame burning on the teeth of the Abyss Hound.

Talking, wailing, and sobbing, mixed with auditory hallucinations, came all at once.

this moment.

He seemed to see Tainai.

Chen Xiang's eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground, twitching continuously. Everything in his vision was blurry, but the auditory hallucinations in his ears, which were like talking in a dream, were crystal clear.

"The authority of the abyss black flame."

“Partially completed.”
