The man who called himself Jing Heqiu waited for a moment after the Jiutian Teahouse announced its door. He heard the sound of the old-fashioned wooden door bolt moving inside the teahouse.
He pushed the door open and entered. Then, he carefully closed the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a bare-chested old man with gray hair pouring tea.
His muscles were very strong and looked rather exaggerated. His figure was even better than some young peopleâs.
Jing heqiu immediately smiled. âSeeing that Mr. Teng is still in good spirits, Iâm relieved.â
âThereâs no need to be polite.â
Teng Luchen narrowed his eyes and smiled, he took the initiative to push a cup of hot tea in front of Jing heqiu. âYou didnât come to find me today just for the matter of the freshmen roll, right? âBetween you and me, thereâs no need to be a Riddler. Whatever medicine is in the gourd, you can pour it out.â
Jing heqiu laughed when he heard this, he couldnât hold back the smile on his face. âJust the freshmen roll? âIf you donât care about the freshmen roll, why did you want me to establish the Nine Heavens Fine search academy to look for talents from the younger generation? Why did you stay in the Nine Heavens Teahouse for so long? Didnât you want to be closer to these young students?â
âNine Heavens Search Academy. As the name suggests, you wanted to find the elites of the nine heavens.â
âWhat is the Nine Heavens?â? The nine heavens symbolized the vitality of the sky and the world. It was a synonym for young cultivators. âSir, you have looked for so many talented young cultivators. I believe that you already have your own list, which is why you directly requested to hold this competition of the new students ranking.â
Jing Heqiu did not hold back at all. With just a few words, he broke through the window paper, he was very direct. âMoreover, this time, I suddenly received an order from the higher-ups to establish the new students ranking of the provincial and city-level high schools and cultivation academies. I found it strange
âLogically speaking, no one can directly carry out plans regarding cultivation academies without the consent of the myriad schools alliance, except for you, Sir...â
This speech seemed very rude, but in fact, Teng Luchen didnât mind it at all. What he hated the most was speaking in riddles, and he liked to say everything in front of everyone.
Jing Heqiu was well aware of this Teng Elderâs temper, so this kind of frankness was rather in line with Teng Luchenâs temper.
If it was someone else who didnât have a deep connection with Teng Luchen, they definitely wouldnât dare to speak like that.
This was a big shot that even the ten generals would tremble at the sight of him.
Of course, Jing Heqiu felt that his understanding of this mister in front of him wasnât very thorough. He was afraid that what he knew was only on the surface, a large part of it was still some immature guesses that he had come up with after many years of dealing with this Mr. Teng.
âHehe, you are really sharp.â
Teng Luchen moved the muscles and bones in his neck. He crossed his arms and stared at Jing Heqiu. âWhat else do you know? Why Donât you continue talking? I will decide whether or not to continue talking to you after I hear it.â
âI also know about a big plan.â
Jing heqiu said calmly, âElder Teng and that Lord have been planning this big plan for hundreds of years. âMoreover, the selection of elites from these young people this time is to serve this big plan in the end. âPrecisely because itâs dangerous, the talents that are selected must be the talents among the talents, the elites among the elites... am I right, elder Teng?â
With his eyes slightly closed, Teng Luchen sighed. âThat Lord told you about the core of the Earth Plan, didnât he?â
Jing Heqiu was silent for a moment before laughing. âOr else? Or else, how would you, elder Teng, think that I would be able to come into contact with such a secret, grand plan with my position?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSince before Earthâs upgrade, the battle for resources in the core of the Earth has already begun.â
Teng Luchen straightened his posture and said, âThe cultivation academies of every country all think that the Earthâs core world has precious resources that the cultivation world doesnât. âBut everyone wants to fight for this cake, but how can it be so easy to fight for it?â
âTherefore, elder Teng decided to set this battle for resources as a competition and let the young people fight for it as representatives. They think that they are participating in a competition, but in fact, they are fighting on behalf of the cultivation countries?â
âThe original plan wasnât like this. I can only say that it was a helpless move.â
Teng Luchen shook his head and suddenly smiled bitterly. âNow, each nation is preparing their own team of young people. And we have the privilege to bring an extra team of seven people in.â
âWhy do we have such a privilege?â
âBefore earth leveled up, each nation was trying their best to open the entrance to the Earthâs core. But itâs easier said than done to open the entrance to the Earthâs core.â
Teng Luchen straightened his posture and said, âBut recently, that Lord and I accidentally discovered that thereâs a natural entrance in our Songhai city...â
âA natural entrance?â
âItâs not thick.â
When Teng Luchen said this, he paused for a moment before continuing, âDo you still know about the natural wonders of the seaside on the outskirts of Songhai City?â
âElder Teng is talking about the summit of the heavens, Palm Cliff? But legend has it that the palm print was made by a mighty figure...â
âBut legend is only legend. No one possesses such palm power.â
When Teng Luchen said this, the two of them looked at each other. Jing heqiu suddenly revealed an expression of sudden realization. âElder Teng means that it canât be...â
âIt canât be wrong.â
Teng Luchen said affirmatively, âAlthough we canât analyze what kind of natural phenomenon this is yet, on Earth, the natural entrance to the Earthâs core world is also the first and only entrance, which is at the bottom of this palm cliff...â
..
It was January 14th on Tuesday, the second day after the monthly exam. Although everyone knew that the results were out, the academic affairs office had no intention of directly announcing it, which made Wang Ling very nervous.
âEh? I heard that the results will be released a few days later. The school has been dealing with those people in white coats these two days.â
âWhite coats? Are they doctors? What are doctors doing at school?â
âThey might not necessarily be doctors. I think they might be people from the Cultivation Research Institute.â
On the way to school, Wang Lingâs ears twitched as he heard some of No. 60 high schoolâs alumni, who were aware of the situation, discussing gossip. These were all senior students.
On average, sophomores and Juniors finished school an hour or two later than their freshmen.
In other words, although No. 60 high school had very carefully chosen a time after school to receive them, it was likely that a small group of students who had left late had seen it, and the news had spread directly.
But Wang Ling wasnât sure if they were from the cultivation research institute.
Because if he was, he would definitely have gotten some information from Wang Ming in advance.
But right now, his idiot older brother hadnât even sent a text message or given any hints, which wasnât Wang Mingâs style at all.
Even if he was from the Cultivation Research Institute, Wang Ling felt that there was a high chance that he wasnât on the same side as Wang Ming.
Why did they come to the school at night?
What exactly were they talking about?
Wang Ling was very curious about this.
