Chapter 9 The Salmon and the Shoe

  It was the time of school dismissal, a rare moment of relaxation in the campus, laughter flew on the forest path, in the sky, many luxury private shuttles slowly landed, it was the parents who came to pick up their children, there were also many students like Li Yao, dragging their tired bodies, slowly walking towards the school gate.   When he was about to walk out of the school gate, Li Yao suddenly felt a tightness on his body, a tall figure blocked in front of him, "Your name is Li Yao, the one who was with Si Xuejia just now is you?"   Li Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, it seemed like there were 10,000 needles stabbing around his body, his heartbeat instantly accelerated, a chill rushed from his tailbone all the way to his heavenly aura, the pressure brought by this person was just too much, he was just like a rat being stared at by a venomous snake, he couldn't move at all, and even swallowing a mouthful of spit became incredibly difficult.   "It's Helian Lie, it's the 'No. 1 expert in Red Sky Second Middle School' Helian Lie, this time it's over!" Li Yao screamed miserably in his heart, he had the intention to explain, but he couldn't even utter half a word.   Helian Lie stood casually, holding a crystal brain in his right hand, he was calculating an application problem, he didn't even look at Li Yao, he casually said, "Don't be afraid, of course I know that with goods like you, it's impossible to do anything with Xiao Xue, let's forget about it this time, I'm too lazy to clean up after you."   Tapping his finger on the light screen and changing to the next question, Helian Lie continued, "However, right now is the critical juncture of the 'Hundred Day Sprint', both Xiao Xue and I are the ones who are going to hit the 'First place in the college entrance examination of Fugue City', during this period of time. I don't want any more unsavory trash to harass Xiao Xue and distract her, is that clear?"   Li Yao's eyes narrowed and he clenched his teeth in death, "You're calling me trash?"   Helian Lie didn't raise his head and said lightly, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to target you, in my opinion, all of you miscellaneous fishes of the 'ordinary class', one of you is counted as one - all of you are trash! "   As he said the last word, he finally raised his head and swept a glance at Li Yao.   With just one glance, Li Yao's chest felt like it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he couldn't help but fall back two steps and cough violently.   Helian Lie snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, and turned around to leave.   Li Yao arched his back, coughing like a large lobster, even coughing up tears, it took him a long time to straighten up, gasping for air, staring dead at the direction where Helian Lie left.   "Damn!"   "Could it be that these days, as long as one is tall, powerful, jade-like, handsome, sword-browed, and born in a rich family with a fortune of eight or ten billion dollars, and also possesses a superb cultivation talent and overbearingly strong strength - one can be so arrogant?"   ......   Half an hour later.   "Loss loss loss, this time it's really a loss to the grandmother's house, in order to repair the crystal brain for Si Jiaxue, it even offended Helian Lie, had I known this - surely we should raise the price ah, at least two hundred thousand to be enough!"   "And He Lian Lie this king, eight, egg, on the basis of their own is rich, every day the heavenly material treasure as a meal to eat, strengthening potion as tap water to drink, and there are meditation cultivation masters to help him to strengthen the divine soul, martial arts masters to help him to forge the body, only to the spiritual root development degree increased to more than seventy percent, surprisingly, such arrogance! Garbage? I'm not trash! One day, I'll become a true master refiner and beat you into a pig's head and stuff you into the trash!"   On the way home, the teenager walked alone, gritting his teeth, his expression as if he was possessed, and from time to time, he kicked the small stones on the side of the road, fiercely.   Helian Lie's appearance made him clearly realize how big the gap between himself and the cultivation geniuses was, and also made him understand how slim the chances of realizing his dream of "entering the Nine Elite Associated Schools, embarking on the path of cultivation, and becoming a master weapon smith" were.   In Li Yao's mind, a scene that he had seen repeatedly in his dream appeared, which seemed to be a movie.   It was a young man wearing a red undershirt, raising his eyebrows, staring wide-eyed, and saying loudly, "If you don't have a dream, what's the difference between being a human being and a salted fish!"   All along, this scene had deeply stimulated Li Yao, making him go forward on the road of dreams without fear.   Until this moment, he finally remembered that after the red vested young man said this sentence in the foreign dream, the response from others was:   "You don't even have shoes, so aren't you just a salted fish?"   Li Yao stood still and subconsciously looked at his feet.   He was wearing a pair of basic practicing shoes that he had picked up from a garbage heap, because of his usual crazy cultivation, they had long been excessively worn out, not only were the sole patterns worn out, even the left tip of the shoe had worn out a big hole, revealing a dirty big toe.   He recalled that just now he saw Helian Lie's feet wearing, is a pair of the latest model of cultivation shoes "Super Star Nine Generation", with the toughest demonic beast leather handmade, the surface attached to the strength of the extremely high wear-resistant scales.   It is said that in the sole of the sandwich, there is a deep-sea devil fish swim bladder refining made of airbags, not only can increase the bouncing force, but also can protect the leg joints, just this pair of shoes, to sell tens of thousands of dollars!   In the battlefield of the college entrance examination, there are still countless rich children and Helian Lie, wearing the "Super Star Nine Generation", sitting on infinite resources!   Can he, a poor boy with nothing, fight off these people in this cruel bloody battle, stand out and make his dream come true?   Li Yao's heart was extraordinarily perplexed, and his steps were extraordinarily heavy, the road ahead seemed to be very, very long.   He moved out of the main city when night fell and the lights came on.   There is a crystal rail bridge in front of him, which is specially designed for the passage of "ultra-high-speed crystal rail train", through the culvert under the bridge and then walk for a mile, is the Chaoyang New Village.   This is a suburb, relatively desolate, few people come and go.   Li Yao was about to cross the culvert, when a sharp roar suddenly came from his ears, and the light in front of his eyes was a crystal rail train about to cross the bridge.   Li Yao suddenly stood still, rubbed his eyes and looked towards the bridge.   The moment the light shot in just now, he seemed to see that there was a person standing on the bridge!   This was a rail bridge exclusively for trains!   "Ultra-high-speed crystal rail train" is known as the "national weapon" of the federal top ten super giant treasure system, the highest speed can reach more than two thousand miles per hour, and in order to prevent the destruction of the demonic beasts, in each crystal rail train are equipped with the highest level of defense array, the destructive power under the high-speed impact, is by no means the same as that of a human. Under the high-speed impact, the destructive power was by no means inferior to the full force of a high-level cultivator's strike!   In order to prevent accidents from happening, super high-speed crystal rail trains usually fly on a special track dozens of meters above the ground, and the track is also surrounded by closed prohibitions - how did this guy climb in?   That's right, Li Yao saw clearly, on the track bridge, there was indeed an old man standing.   This was a very odd old man, with gray hair and an ancient appearance, just like Li Yao had once seen in a museum, a human figurine unearthed tens of thousands of years ago.   However, his body was glowing with an extremely strong "aura", and even at a distance of hundreds of meters, Li Yao seemed to be able to hear his strong heartbeat.   Touch! Touch! Touch!   It was like a giant hammer that continuously bombarded the iron felt!   Compared with his vastness like the sea of breath, Helian Lie's oppressive force is simply weak, the difference between the two, than the sun and firefly gap is even bigger - and Li Yao also has a feeling, and Helian Lie's pretense compared to the old man simply did not take the initiative to promote the breath, he felt, but he was unintentionally full of overflow! A hint of fluctuation, just the tip of the iceberg!   The old man was wearing a simple and plain set of coarse cloth vestments, almost as if he had walked out of the classical cultivation world from 40,000 years ago!   "Hey--" In the critical moment, Li Yao couldn't care whether this old man was a madman or some kind of weirdo, seeing that the train was about to come, he danced with his hands and called out loudly.   The old man turned a deaf ear to Li Yao's shouts and continued to survey the expanding lights ahead.   He seemed to be very curious about everything around him, especially the crystal rails laid on the bridge and the whistling crystal rail train, which caused a kind of delighted look of an urchin discovering a new toy to appear on his face.   The next second--
