Chapter 1 The Genius with a mental strength of twe

  "Ziggy run!"   Bai Muye shouted, sitting up violently from the bed and opening his eyes.   The bloodshot eyes looked somewhat hideous.   After a while, his eyes slowly regained clarity, his complexion returned to normal, and his entire aura became bright all of a sudden.   Like a flash of morning light shining in through the cracks in the curtains.   Pleasant mood.   Reaching out and wiping a handful of cold, wet sweat from his head, he let out a long breath and continued to sit there in a daze.   Another nightmare woke him up.   He had been having this dream for six years straight.   Different scene, same people, similar plot.   This time it was in the jungle.   The skinny, short-haired little girl with blood-stained clothes and hobbling gait was laboriously dragging him forward.   The jungle was dark and cold.   There were green eyes everywhere around them, watching them in the darkness.   He couldn't move, couldn't scream, and his chest felt like a boulder was weighing him down.   It was as hard as a nightmare.   The dreams were long and filled one with exhaustion.   For so many years, countless times in his dreams, he kept trying to see the little girl's face clearly, but there was always only a back.   The only theme of the dream was escape.   Endless flight!   He didn't know why he had this dream for years and years?   Nor did he know who the little girl called Dicky really was?   What was the relationship with him?   In order to figure it out, he had even recorded videos of himself sleeping many times.   But except for the four words "Dicky run" that appeared very frequently, which were relatively clear, the rest were all meaningless ravings.   Every time I asked the old man, he always snorted and digressed.   He said it was just a dream, not to be taken seriously.   Either said he did too many years as a single dog, pining for spring.   It's obvious that it's bullshit, bullying Bai Muye is a simple child.   If this was the kind of dream he had, the human race would have lost its drive to reproduce long ago.   The old man must know something!   Bai Muye's memory was very good, not to say unforgettable, but almost less.   But he couldn't recall half a thing about what happened before he was eleven no matter what.   A blank, no impression at all.   It seems to have been tampered with and erased that part of his memory.   Could it be that I experienced something extraordinary when I was still a baby?   Could it be that my true identity is actually a downtrodden prince with a throne waiting for me to inherit?   But why don't I have a powerful and loyal servant by my side?   An old man?   It's better to forget about it!   It's good that he doesn't treat himself as a servant.   So perhaps I'm just an orphan with amnesia that the old man picked up.   Bai Muye sighed softly and spoke into the air, "Open the curtains."   The curtains slowly parted automatically to both sides, and the dimly lit room instantly brightened up.   The early morning sunlight shone in, spilling over his well-proportioned and robust body.   For a seventeen year old teenager, he had a perfect body that was a bit excessive.   Of course, his looks were even more handsome and a bit excessive, so he had rarely gone out all these years.   The feeling of always being looked at with surprised eyes, or even more excessively coming up to touch his head and pinch his face was not a pleasant one.   Coming to the bathroom, Bai Muye looked into the mirror and asked with a serious face, "Mirror mirror, why am I always awakened by nightmares?"   Inside the mirror came a sweet and greasy voice: "Little brother was woken up by handsome!"   A perfunctory answer, a perfunctory compliment!   What else do you need to say about such a well-known matter?   Bai Muye expressionlessly began to wash up.   Then exercise and eat breakfast.   Particularly regular.   Today was the day to apply for high school, and his first school day, so he mustn't be late.   Wait for the old man to come back and give him a surprise.   Just ...... the old man he, will he come back?   "Big pretty ...... I want to eat white porridge and beef filled buns."   Bai Muye said while washing his face, "Also, if you dare to put scallions in it for me again, I am not finished with you!"   "Yes, little brother ......"   ......   ......   Flying Fairy Star, Hundred Flowers City.   The weather at the end of August was still very hot.   The plaza of the First High School was crowded with people and appeared a bit crowded.   At least tens of thousands of teenagers gathered here, with excitement, nervousness and anticipation intertwined on their green faces.   Lined up in not-so-tidy, but still fairly organized lines of several hundred, they waited to be inspected.   These were all students who had passed the cultural course and were ready to apply for the First Middle School.   And this was also the last hurdle to enter the first middle school.   The huge transparent dome over the square filtered out the scorching heat outside, leaving only bright light and a suitable temperature.   This season of the year was the most stressful time for a large number of parents and students in Hundred Flowers City.   It was also the most anxious time of the year for the teachers of the first middle school.   They were busy with selecting the most talented portion of the tens of thousands of students with excellent grades.   Compared to the other long lines, Bai Muye was in a very small group.   He stood in a relatively forward position, and although he was wearing a hat and mask, his upright posture and bright, pure eyes were still very eye-catching.   Many of the girls in line around him were secretly looking at him.   Bai Muye, on the other hand, was guessing in his heart how many seal master apprentices there would be in this term.   Based on the number of people in his row, it wasn't expected to be very optimistic.   There had always been very few people applying for Rune Seal Master.   Even if the enrollment was only once every ten years, there weren't many who signed up.   The requirements of a rune seal master were simply too high!   Drawing skills, patience, memory, and the ability to recognize ...... level after level, I don't know how many people have been brushed off.   Now this last level of the test was the most important foundation for becoming a Rune Seal Master - spiritual power!   It was estimated that the school administration also felt that the enrollment of talisman seal masters in this term would not be very optimistic.   Therefore, during this morning, the cold and harsh scolding voice of the female examiner in charge of Talisman Seal Master enrollment did not stop, and could be heard clearly from a long distance away.   Taking care of a child's face?   Doesn't exist!   "Nine point five, fail, why are you so low? Next!"   "Twelve point three, no, next ......"   "Accommodate? Can't be accommodated! Do you think this is a joke? What the hell can you draw if you don't have the mental strength to meet the standard?"   "I'll say it again, don't try it if you have less than twenty mental power! Have you all never used a virtual warehouse at home? Why are you wasting your time when you know you can't?"   "Qualifying in other areas won't work either! Spiritual power is the foundation of becoming a Rune Seal Master! Didn't you talk to your family before you came here? Even if you haven't used the virtual warehouse, can't you feel whether your spiritual power is high or low?"   "You, you, you, and you, look at your listless and weak looks, do you look like people with high spiritual power?"   "It only opens once in ten years ...... don't want to miss it? It's not a matter of whether you want to or not, it's a matter of whether you can or can't!"   Listening to those harsh words of the examiner, Bai Muye somewhat sympathized with those students who were eliminated.   Although the virtual warehouse has long been popularized, it doesn't mean that everyone has been exposed to it.   Many parents didn't allow their children to be exposed too early because they were worried about their children becoming addicted to it.   The old man was like this.   Saying that virtual silos are for playing games.   The game is toxic.   There was nothing Bai Muye could do if he didn't believe it, who let him have no money.   One student after another was eliminated, they were either lost, frustrated, or pretended to be calm but left silently with red eyes.   It wasn't much of a cruelty to talk about, but it still made the other students waiting in line a bit chipper.   From early in the morning until now, it was close to noon, and it seemed like a total of only three people had successfully passed.   One had a spiritual strength of thirty-three, one thirty-six, and one fifty-five.   The fifty-five one, as soon as it was measured, immediately caused a sensation.   Hundred Flower City hadn't seen a senior student with a spiritual power over fifty in many years.   So when that teenager called Mu Xi was measured to have a spiritual strength as high as fifty-five, even the principal was startled and directly brought a group of people to pick up Mu Xi like a star.   The treatment of a genius is just different!   Time passed little by little.   When a little fat girl in front of Bai Muye was also eliminated, pitifully looked at him, finally gathered the courage, shouted out a handsome brother to cheer, and then wiped tears and choked and quickly ran away, finally it was his turn!   Bai Muye looked calm on the surface, but his heart was a little nervous.   The old man sealed his spiritual power once again a while ago, saying that there are about 17 or 18 points left.   So many days have passed ...... it should go up, right?   If this is less than twenty points, also be eliminated, the shame is small, can not enter the first middle school that would be too depressing.   Independent study is only allowed until high school, high school he must go.   Heart apprehensive, Bai Muye arrived in front of the examiner, took off the hat and mask.   In an instant, countless people looked his way.   "Wow!"   "So handsome!"   "How could there be someone so handsome?"   "I like this little brother so much!"   Bai Muye was calm and smiled at the examiner as he saluted, "Good day, teacher!"   This stern and cranky female examiner was actually very pretty, looking like a young young young woman of twenty-seven or eighty-eight, especially with a pair of eyes that were particularly bright and godly.   She raised her head, glanced at Bai Muye, froze slightly for two seconds, then revealed her first smile of the morning and said gently, "The Hundred Flowers Art School is next door."   Bai Muye: "......"   Judging people by their appearance?   It's a bit excessive!   Bai Muye: "Teacher, I'm here to apply for the Rune Seal Master exam."   What's the point of being a seal master when you're so good looking?   You'd have a better future as an idol, right?   The female examiner thought to herself.   However, looking at this face, the morning's frustration and anger magically disappeared.   What a handsome little boy, so pleasing to the eye!   So he patiently smiled and said, "Applying for Rune Seal Master ah, well, put your hand on this instrument, yes, just like that, don't move ......"   Some of the students who had just been eliminated and hadn't had time to leave yet were stunned: too differentiated, right?   A moment later, a string of numbers appeared on the instrument, and the female examiner had a somewhat surprised expression as she looked up at Bai Muye again.   "Are you sure you want to apply for Rune Seal Master?"   Bai Muye nodded.   Someone beside him was curious and stretched his neck to look over, and on the instrument's screen, two bright red numbers - 20!   It was actually just right, barely passing the test!   "Crap ...... this is okay?"   "What's the situation? Someone passed?"   "This is the fourth one, right? Awesome ah! Huh? Spiritual power twenty?"   "Damn ...... this is too much luck, isn't it? But twenty ...... is a bit low, right?"   "So handsome spirit power is actually so high!"   "Yes, yes, too handsome! Even better looking than a star!"   The female examiner was also speechless, twenty, was indeed over the line.   But the key problem was that Rune Seal Masters had an extremely high demand for spiritual power.   Although twenty had reached the standard of a Junior Rune Seal Master, in all these years, there had never been such a student who was stuck right on the line.   Generally speaking, by the time a student reaches high school age and is qualified to apply for the Rune Seal Master exam, their spiritual power is thirty, and even worse, twenty-eight or nine.   This kid has twenty points of spiritual energy and is so good looking, can he devote his mind to the boring Rune Seal Technique?   Thinking about it, I couldn't help but glance at Bai Muye again!   Why is it so good looking, if I had a daughter ...... alas, I do not have a daughter.   If I were twenty years younger ......   Bai Muye looked at the female examiner in front of him, and his heart was also a little apprehensive.   If I had known that I wouldn't let the old man seal it last time, it was only seventy or eighty points at the time, and it wasn't out of the realm of a junior runic seal master.   Even if it would cause a stir, it would not be as embarrassing as it is now, right?   Twenty ...... really hanging ah!   It's also a bit shabby.   "You wait ah, don t rush ...... first" The female examiner looked at Bai Muye and said in a pleasant manner, then began to communicate with the leader.   A moment later, she looked at Bai Muye and smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Bai Muye, you passed!"   Bai Muye was instantly relieved, and a happy smile appeared on his face.   This smile caused stars to directly emerge from the eyes of many of the surrounding girls.   "Too handsome!"   "Killing all the creatures called schoolboys ah!"   "So good looking! It must be very happy to be classmates with such a handsome guy!"   The female examiner also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt more or less regretful in her heart, if this teenager's spiritual power was a bit higher, even if it was only thirty or so it ...... should be able to become the image of the Rune Seal Master, right?   Unfortunately, this time the enrollment, the students who meet the criteria are too few!   From the beginning until now, counting this Bai Muye in front of him who was stuck at the standard line, there were only four people in total!   Adding the two that were already determined before, this term ...... is just six?   Taking a look at the not too long line behind, it is estimated that there won't be any surprises.   It really is not as good as a year, the batch from ten years ago, at least there were twelve qualified ones.   When will a real genius appear in Hundred Flowers City?   How good would it be to put your hand on the instrument and directly display a three digit ...... number? This Rune Seal Teacher himself, he would wake up laughing in his dreams, right?   The female examiner glanced at Bai Muye and smiled gently, "Go back and wait for the notification."   "Okay, thank you teacher!" Bai Muye bowed slightly, then turned to leave.   Taking away a large swath of envious gazes.   It was expected that the news of a "genius" with a spiritual strength of twenty being accepted into the first middle school's Rune Seal Master class would spread quickly.   But I'm afraid that it will be a completely different story from Mu Xi, who has a mental strength of 55. ......   But to Bai Muye, it didn't matter.   Sensei, after all, he had been admitted, hadn't he?   It's not like his spiritual power is really only twenty, even if he will be looked down upon for a short period of time, but the days are long.   To the girls in the first middle school, it didn't matter even more.   Twenty is twenty, it doesn't matter if he is so handsome and his spiritual power is zero!   It's enough to see this face every day!   Thinking that they could be classmates with such a handsome person, countless girls' hearts were about to melt.   So happy!   Looking at Bai Muye's back, the examiner's eyes softened even more.   What a good boy who knows how to be polite!   The student in line behind Bai Muye had already waited for half a day and couldn't help but whisper and remind, "Teacher ......"   "What are you rushing for?"   The examiner instantly regained his seriousness and said expressionlessly, "Hurry up!"
