The Last King of Darkness

Rode had always wanted to ridicule this matter: ”Students can have maternity leave? And why do you all seem to think that unmarried pregnancy is a good thing? ”

Several senior students looked at him in surprise, and Hong Xiu Zhang explained: ”He lost his memory and forgot a lot of things. ”

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

”Is that so? ”

One senior student lamented, ”Do we really not need to know anything, as long as we have a face? Even if he has sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with broken moonlight shining in his eyes, and fine winds hiding in his eyebrows like willow trees, with a face like a painting, a high and straight nose like white jade, thin lips hiding sentimental feelings, and messy black hair exuding a faint domineering aura like swords in the wind and rain, does the heiress of the Mibol family not need to be pursued like this? Why hasn ’t any girl ever liked me? As a melancholic and sentimental boy like me, why am I not popular? ”

Rode looked at him speechlessly.
Are you a wandering poet? Don ’t you feel embarrassed saying that?

But from his expression, he didn ’t feel embarrassed at all, and instead, the other senior students were embarrassed.

One person pulled his sleeve and whispered, ”Stop talking, Shao Er, you ’ve embarrassed us in front of the freshmen. ”

Shao Er shrugged off his hand and shouted, ”What ’s embarrassing? Is there anything more embarrassing than going through four years without even touching a girl ’s hand? ”

Looking at the senior students around him blushing and feeling ashamed, it seemed that they were not fundamentally different from this wandering poet.

To avoid embarrassment, Hong Xiu Zhang coughed and quickly changed the subject.

”Kimberly Academy of course has maternity leave.
Although we do not encourage students to focus too much on relationships during their time in the academy, if they do get pregnant, it is certainly a good thing.
The academy will arrange sufficient care for female students and assign specialized lecturers to ensure their learning during pregnancy.
Male students will also receive certain rewards. ”

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, another senior student thought he didn ’t believe it and smiled, ”According to the research and statistics of the association, the probability of a fire wielder and their child becoming a fire wielder is 10-20% higher than that of ordinary people.
And pregnancy itself is a blessing from fire.
The royal city will also ensure the growth of all infants and young children. ”

Another senior student also said, ”We certainly encourage childbirth.
The outside world is too cold, and only when more people lean on each other will they feel more warmth.
Only when more fire wielders stand in front of the holy fire can they better resist the invasion of the black mist into our warm home. ”

Shao Er snorted.

”Don ’t be too happy too soon.
Once you become a fire wielder, you can control your instincts, and girls won ’t easily pay attention to you.
The primary task of the academy is still learning and training to master stronger power.
Otherwise, if you enter the war zone in the future, you will only be a burden.
It ’s one thing to harm yourself, but if you harm your teammates, it will be a lifelong nightmare. ”

”And… ”

Hong Xiu Zhang said in a serious academic tone, ”According to the research of the association, if fire wielders do not have a genuine and mutual love between spirits, the probability of pregnancy may be much lower than that of ordinary people.
This is also the blessing of fire to us.
Every child is the crystallization of the purest love of humanity. ”

He opened his arms to the sky, as if paying tribute to the distant holy fire. ”So, if you have the ability to impregnate all the female students in the college, we will only give you rewards, not punishments. ”

He laughed, giving himself full marks for his humor.

Several senior students laughed too, no one took it seriously, only Xiaoer looked like he had eaten a ton of vinegar, with red eyes saying, ”Stop dreaming, it ’s impossible. ”

—

Rode quickly forgot about this interlude.

According to them, even if he became the father of a hundred children, it wouldn ’t bring him any extra points in this city ’s customs, let alone the issue of turning an iron rod into a needle.

When it was time to kill, one stroke was enough, it wouldn ’t help him survive.

Survival was his top priority now.

Besides using his unique skills to gain convenience, he didn ’t have time to develop deeper relationships.

After a moment.

Rode was brought to a huge square building.

From the location, this should be the administrative office of the third branch of the Kimberly College, where teachers and various administrative personnel worked.

But Rode was not taken inside, instead he was taken to a smaller building on the right.

Inside was a large hall, filled with copper lamps that were different from the outside, tables, chairs, bookshelves, and scattered books and miscellaneous items everywhere, much like the machinery research institute he had visited during the last inspection.

Dozens of people in white robes were busy in the hall.

The person with the red armband shouted, ”Mina, there ’s a new task. ”

A big sister with brown hair raised her head.
She looked about twenty-six or seven years old, with a standard melon seed face, big eyes, fair skin, a straight nose, and three-dimensional features.
She had a kind of mixed-race beauty ’s charm.

But what really had depth were the cleavage in front of her chest.
Just by raising her head and straightening her waist, Rode heard the four senior students around him swallow their saliva.

”What task? ” Mina frowned slightly, looking like she didn ’t like being disturbed.

The person with the red armband pushed Rode out and smiled, ”A new special student, his name is Rode, he ’s a one-year freshman and needs your comprehensive testing. ”

Mina glanced at Rode, her eyes brightening slightly, and then turned back to her desk.

”Come on. ”

As soon as Rode saw the crystal ball on the table and the circular device on the ground, he knew that his fire seed was going to be tested again.

He was a little nervous, but didn ’t hesitate to step onto the disc and place his right hand on the crystal ball.

After a moment, the crystal ball once again displayed text.

Rode glanced at it and found that it was another ancient language he didn ’t recognize.

Like the last inspector, Mina frowned, but instead of looking for information, she asked, ”What name did the inspector give you last time? ”

”Black Rice Bucket, ” Rode said without emotion.

Two senior students behind him laughed.

Mina ’s brow furrowed even deeper, she looked back and forth at the text on the crystal ball several times, and said somewhat helplessly, ”Let ’s just use this one. ”

Rode didn ’t care, as long as no problems were found, any name would do.

”Do you know your own abilities? ”

”Yes, ” Rode briefly explained the function of his Soul Eye.This is actually a disguise.
The ability of the Soul Eye is actually brought about by the Black Altar.
The real ability of the ”Black Rice Bucket ” is the taboo soul absorption.

But they seem unable to distinguish.

After listening, Hong Xiuzhang said, ”It sounds great.
No wonder you could become a special student right after entering school. ”

Xiao Erche snorted, ”Isn ’t it just clairvoyance? ”

Mina ignored him and asked, ”Can you use it? ”

”I can. ”

She took out a crystal ball full of mist from under the table.

”Use your ability to observe it and tell me what you see. ”

Rode focused his attention on his eyes, lightly tapping his forehead with his spiritual power three times, and opened the Soul Eye.

The white mist crystal ball instantly turned black.

”Pure black. ” Rode said briefly.

Mina and the four senior brothers ’ faces changed suddenly.

Hong Xiuzhang asked, ”Rode, do you know what this crystal ball is? ”

”I don ’t know. ”

Mina took out another crystal ball, ”What about this one? ”

”A flower. ”

”Describe it. ”

”Golden, seven leaves. ”

”What about this one? ”

”A…uh, a wolf with two heads. ”

Hong Xiuzhang ’s expression became serious and he asked, ”Mina, are there any higher level mist crystal balls? ”

Mina shook her head slightly, ”No. ”

Hong Xiuzhang asked seriously, ”What level of clairvoyance is this equivalent to? ”

”Extremely strong. ” Mina answered briefly, ”The absolute visual acuity is above 80, but due to the level of spiritual power, the absolute dimension is only 3, and there are some things he cannot see. ”

”That ’s still very strong. ” Hong Xiuzhang said, ”His fire seed is definitely a rare first-level one.
When he learns clairvoyance, his detection ability will surpass most people.
When he graduates, the whole academy will call out his name. ”

”Hot commodity! ”

Rode scratched his head, isn ’t that silly?

Xiao Erche snorted, ”What ’s so great about it… ”

”Shut up! ” Hong Xiuzhang shouted, ”You, with a clairvoyance of only 10, can ’t even see a ghost floating on your face! Do you know how expensive the spirit tree dew is?! ”

Xiao Erche ’s face turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead, ”That was my fault.
I didn ’t dodge and didn ’t expect it to ambush me… ”

Hong Xiuzhang ignored him and said, ”With just this, he can become a special student.
The command of the Supreme Dean is never wrong. ”

Mina ’s stunning face also showed a bright smile, ”Yes, we have a little more hope for the future. ”

She playfully winked at Rode, ”Little brother, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to sister at any time. ”

She emphasized the words ”any time ”, causing the others behind her to burst into laughter.

Only Xiao Erche envied them and gritted his teeth, ”Mina sister, I want to… ”

Mina ’s face changed instantly, ”Get lost, you with a clairvoyance of only 10. ”

Xiao Erche cried, ”Why? This world is too malicious to me… ”

No one paid attention to him.
Mina intimately took Rode ’s hand and dragged him to another workstation.

”Rasha! Get up and work! ”

A chicken-headed person opened his eyes and said drowsily, ”Let me sleep a little longer, Mina.
I haven ’t slept for a day… ”But Mina mercilessly woke him up: ”Get up! ”

Ji Wotou was forced to open for business, grumbling as he brought out a pile of crystal products and fiddled with them on the table.

Mina turned around and asked with concern, ”Rode, how do you feel? ”

”Soft… ”

Mina gave him a slap, a faint blush on her pretty face, but no intention of blaming him.

”I ’m asking about your condition.
We ’re going to test your spiritual power in a moment, so adjust yourself quickly. ”

Ji Wotou couldn ’t stand their intimate whispers and quickly arranged the crystal products, saying coldly, ”Put your hand on this, concentrate your mind, and in the next fifteen seconds, try your best to gather your spiritual power on your hand. ”

Rode quickly abandoned his distractions, took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, took a step forward, pressed his hand on a crystal panel, closed his eyes, and squeezed his spiritual power out of his soul with all his might.

A faint spiritual light quickly appeared on his hand, like a thin layer of mist.

La Xia ’s expression changed slightly.
He looked at the instrument for a moment, raised his head, and asked seriously, ”How many years has this student been in the academy? ”

Hong Xiuzhang replied, ”Freshman, just entered the academy three days ago. ”

La Xia praised, ”Not bad, very good. ”

He reported a series of data.

”The highest spiritual power intensity is 81 marks, the maximum spiritual power output is 21, the average spiritual pressure is 7, the endurance is excellent, and the long-lasting combat will perform well, but the spiritual power level is only one. ”

Rode was confused and couldn ’t help asking, ”What does this mean? ”

La Xia grabbed Ji Wotou and explained, ”Your spiritual power intensity is higher than your spiritual power level.
Your soul cannot adapt to this intensity very well, just like a large object will break the container that holds it.
In the long run, it will cause irreversible damage to your soul. ”

Hong Xiuzhang said, ”You need to perform the spiritual power upgrade ceremony as soon as possible to make your soul better adapt to your expanding spiritual power. ”

”After the upgrade, your spiritual power will also become stronger in essence, and your body will gradually adapt to the changes in your soul. ”

Mina smiled, ”I will prepare as soon as possible.
The upgrade for level one spiritual power is very simple. ”

Xiao Er muttered, ”Only 81, what ’s so great about it… ”

”Shut up! ” Hong Xiuzhang scolded, ”Believe it or not, you ’ll have to beg him later! ”

Xiao Er ’s face instantly turned red, and he shouted, ”Even if I have to kneel down and eat shit, I won ’t beg him! ”

Hong Xiuzhang couldn ’t be bothered to deal with him anymore, turned around, and smiled at Rode, ”Congratulations, you have officially become a special student of the Kimberly Academy. ”

Rode still hasn ’t figured out what ’s going on, his head buzzing, and he asked, ”What ’s the use of being a special student? Why did I suddenly become a special student? ”

Hong Xiuzhang explained, ”Special students are a kind of identity set up by the academy for some students who are particularly talented or have exceptional abilities that are not suitable for normal learning.
The purpose is to provide them with better customized training programs and help them better develop their own abilities. ”

Rode was inexplicably nervous.
He didn ’t really want to step into the spotlight.

”Then do I have to change my group? ”

Hong Xiuzhang shook his head, ”No, you are still in the third hospital, tenth department, tenth group.
Your foundation is very poor, and conventional learning is also essential.
We will arrange a special tutor for you and customize a special training course. ” ”You need to go to the Heidele training ground every week for special training, everything else is normal. ”

Rode was slightly relieved as long as there wasn ’t much change.

Then, the Red Sleeve Chapter helped him with some necessary procedures and gave him a special student badge.
The job was considered done.

Now all he had to do was go back to regular classes and wait for notification.

Before leaving, Mina waved to him and said with a light laugh, ”Little Rode, remember to come find me when you have time.
I live in Building 21 of Block 7 in the Third Courtyard. ”

Rode didn ’t pay much attention, but as soon as he stepped out, someone grabbed him.

Turning his head, it was the tragic poet, Xiao ’er.

”Please. ” he said, ”Teach me. ”
