God Killer: Star Weaver

"Huhu."

Longge Square, afternoon, Ling Chen was lying under a tree, holding a branch in his mouth and gently swinging it up and down, resting his head on his hands, staring blankly at the leisurely white clouds in the sky. Then I closed my eyes and took a nap.

A few months have passed since he first participated in the experience exchange forum. Compared with before, Ling Chen has become much silent. He cannot lie in the room with peace of mind like before. Either lying under the tree and sleeping, or sitting on the edge of the square in trance, watching the experienced disciples, seeming to be thinking about something.

The beautiful and dangerous cold element in Yin'er's hand made him yearn for it endlessly. But what fascinates him is not the beauty of the fused elements, but the terrifying power behind it.

But when he thought about that night, when Yin'er relied only on his Wind Wall and fighting skills to endanger himself and get seriously injured, Ling Chen felt quite complicated. After all, this was also his first defeat, and the opponent was his friend.

"Does redemption only happen once every few decades? If I don't defeat Senior Sister Yin, won't I have to stay here like the boss for the rest of my life?"

Opening his eyes, Ling Chen muttered in his heart. This thought had tortured him repeatedly in the past few days. If he wanted to get his memory back and get out of the uninhabited island, he would have to get the redemption amount no matter what. The premise was that he was here. In a few years, he needs to quickly grow into the master of Dragon Pavilion. If he wants to become the master, he has to understand the barriers between ranks. In the end, he must defeat Yin'er and get into the top ten in the battle of redemption. …

Almost an impossible task.

…

"Ling Chen, what are you thinking about? You've been in a daze lately. Did I teach you too many theories?"

Ling Chen was thinking surprisingly, when suddenly a head appeared in his sight. Immediately, the former focused his sight, and Mu Yao's face appeared clearly in front of him.

"Good afternoon, boss. Alas."

Ling Chen said hello to Mu Yao in front of him, and then sighed.

"Why are you sighing? Children should act like children!"

Seeing Ling Chen sigh, Mu Yao raised his eyebrows and cursed with a smile.

"Sigh, Senior Sister Yin is so powerful, and I haven't figured out what element stripping and fusion are for so many days."

Ling Chen closed his eyes, turned over, turned his back to Mu Yao, and complained. There was a rare hint of anxiety in the childish voice.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't use your perception, you can't beat Qin Yilan, let alone these leaders. Just stay in the academy, the next spot will definitely be Long Yin's. Give up."

"Boss!" Ling Chen turned over and glared at Mu Yao.

"Haha. Don't worry, redemption is still many years away. You still have time. Not everyone in our Dragon Pavilion will go for redemption. Dare to bet with your life, which is amazing in itself." Mu Yao avoided Ling Chen eyes and smiled. Then he patted an open space next to Ling Chen, scattered all the dust on the ground, and slowly sat down next to him.

"Alas." Ling Chen sighed again, with a sad look on his face. The rebellious expression he had in the past when he saw Mu Yao had disappeared. "I really want to become stronger, but I don't know how to do it. I'm not a good person lying around like this all day long. It’s something.”

"Are you anxious?" Mu Yao didn't say anything, but nodded and said:

"You have to be strong from the bottom of your heart."

"I've always thought like this. It's been like this since I came here." Ling Chen defended in a low voice.

"Really? Then why don't you participate in the training among the disciples? You sleep in the house all day long." Mu Yao said.

"I was forced to come here. I don't even know where I came from." Ling Chen turned over again and stopped looking at Mu Yao. Changing the subject, "Besides, I can see that many of the exercises you mentioned are just for fun."

"Hahaha, indeed." Mu Yao nodded, "Everyone is forced. Some people know that there is no hope of redemption. It's good to stay here. Although they can't get their memories back, they can live well."

"I don't want this, I want to go out." Ling Chen frowned. "What should I do, boss? I definitely can't beat a few masters. I don't think ordinary training is of much use. You see, many seniors have practiced for so many years and still haven't reached Rank One."

"There is no need to compare with them." Mu Yao smiled, moved his body, and got closer to Ling Chen, "Including you, there are only seven or eight disciples in the middle and later stages of Dragon Pavilion Rank One. If you want to become stronger, you can either always follow The master’s backside, either… you still have to go out and take a look.”

"Go out?" Ling Chen did not turn around, but turned his head towards Mu Yao, with a slightly expectant look in his eyes.

"Yes, come out of Long Pavilion to see the activity area, and then you can leave the academy! The uninhabited island is very big. Go outside and have a look, maybe you will gain some insights." Mu Yao lowered his head and smiled.

"You can still get out of the academy, isn't it said that this is a prison?"

"It's not the academy, it's the entire uninhabited island. If you leave the academy... I'll just report it to the ruling organization. It's just a formality anyway. The academy knows you can't get out of this huge uninhabited island no matter what." Mu. Yao replied calmly.

Ling Chen nodded, the anxiety on his face eased somewhat, and he turned over.

"I want to go out and experience it."

After a while, Ling Chen suddenly said. Although the tone was weak, there was undeniable firmness.

"Yes. You have been in Dragon Pavilion for a long time. Although you can improve here, based on your cultivation level, if you want to make rapid progress, you really should leave Dragon Pavilion, go to the activity area of ​​the college, and then look outside." Mu Yao turned his head and looked into Ling Chen's eyes and said seriously.

"But, I still have to give you a few tasks..."

Ling Chen smiled and said nothing, quietly listening to Mu Yao's slow narration.

"..."

After Mu Yao stopped, the two fell silent.

Neither Ling Chen nor Mu Yao said anything more. He closed his eyes again and slowly fell asleep, while Mu Yao sat quietly beside him without disturbing him.

…

As the sun set in the west, the sunlight gradually became redder and yellower, and the frolics in Longge Square gradually became weaker, and the disciples returned to their respective residences one after another.

A group of crows flew by in the sky, and some shadows passed over Ling Chen's face. He opened his eyes slightly and silently looked at the flaming clouds in the sky.

"Have you thought about it?" Mu Yao saw him opening his eyes and laughed softly.

"Well, I'll leave tomorrow." Ling Chen nodded, then sat up and looked at Mu Yao, "Boss, can you make arrangements?"

"It's just that you don't need to report it if you leave the Dragon Pavilion." Mu Yao shook his head, "It's just that if you don't return to the Dragon Pavilion tonight, it may take a long time to come back."

"I know, thank you, boss." Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded and smiled at Mu Yao.

"Little guy, have you grown up a bit?" Mu Yao looked at Ling Chen's delicate face that was flushed by the afterglow of the setting sun. He was startled, and then smiled and said, "When do you plan to come back?"

"I don't know, wait until I touch the Rank One section, or rather." Ling Chen paused, "I will come back when I am confident that I can defeat Senior Sister Yin."

"Haha, yes, there is less than a year until the next pavilion competition." Mu Yao smiled, "Are you alone? Do you need to ask a disciple to accompany you?"

"I'm still used to being alone." Ling Chen shook his head and said. During this period of time, he had really had enough of the feeling that he clearly had companions but suddenly couldn't remember them.

"Okay!" Mu Yao stood up and patted the dust on his body, "Then you leave tomorrow and tidy up in the evening. Remember to bring food. I will give you a better ring in the evening, with sufficient wind attributes in it. The power of the Star Weaver, as well as storage space and some food.”

Ling Chen sat on the ground and said nothing.

"Then let's do this for now." Seeing that Ling Chen didn't respond, Mu Yao stood up. He looked at Ling Chen and hesitated to speak, but finally asked softly, "Actually, I don't know why, I have a feeling, it's just that I feel , I seem to have seen you here a long time ago? Little guy, have you... been to Dragon Pavilion before? "

"No." Hearing this, Ling Chen was startled and raised his head. "It wasn't long before I was sent to the uninhabited island. How could I have been to Dragon Pavilion so long ago?"

"Maybe... I feel wrong. Last time you talked about that companion, I realized that the academy might be depriving us of our memories. I was so nervous. Haha." Mu Yao was silent for a while, then thoughtfully He nodded, then smiled and said, "I will leave the things you need at the door of your house tonight, and you can just pick them up when you go out tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Mu Yao walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

Turning his head, Ling Chen silently looked at Mu Yao's back, which seemed a little older. For a moment, all kinds of memories seemed to flood into my mind.

Recalling the teachings during this period, I thought that in the past few months, I had been causing all kinds of troubles to Mu Yao and making him worry, but the latter still had full respect and care for me.

"It seems that I have been... causing him trouble."

Before he came here, his understanding of the people around him was only enemies and friends. Friends can help selflessly, while enemies only need to increase their strength to kill. Only by defeating all enemies and obtaining memories is the meaning of life.

But during this time, he saw disciples who were still living happily even though they knew they could not be saved.

Mu Yao knew clearly that he might be related to Void, but still maintained respect and care for him, and always stood with him.

Mu Yao patiently told him many theories and gave him a little understanding of the world.

There is also Qin Yilan, who obviously loves Yin'er, but he lets him make a fool of himself in front of her, but in the end he laughs with him and forgets the grudge.

The second master and third master knew that they could not defeat their opponents, but they still gave their best in the competition.

And Senior Sister Yin who quietly healed him.

Senior Sister Yin, who clearly hates unfair battles, agreed to challenge herself and taught her to be patient with the strong.

And tomorrow I will leave the cabinet and the academy, and I will most likely die outside. These people may never be seen again.

The corners of Ling Chen's eyes were slightly moist, as if some strange emotion was welling up in his heart.

…

"teacher."

Ling Chen didn't know how to express this strange feeling. Looking at the retreating figure, Ling Chen finally couldn't help but shout softly.

As he whispered, the old figure was stunned, stopped, and did not turn around.

"I think, I think, I should say...thank you."

"thank you teacher."

His back trembled slightly and he said nothing. Then he waved and continued walking. As the sun set, he gradually disappeared from Ling Chen's sight.
