Chapter 32: Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
Xu Ling was not rude. He was mainly queuing up to check the tickets. Suddenly someone came up to hook him up. His first reaction was a thief!
The man was not angry when he heard this, but instead said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that you are a little curious when you go out alone at this time."
Xu Ling looked at him suspiciously, feeling that although this man was a little ungrateful, he had no vulgar temperament. He said coldly: "I am with my family. They got on the bus in Jincheng Market. We meet again when we are here."
Even though his force index is 2.08, and it is almost built up by physical and perception, his actual combat power must be higher than the number, but after all, he is traveling alone, so it is better to be cautious.
The man had lived for a long time and didn't know what he thought. He smiled lightly and didn't expose it. He talked about something else: "I think you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, are you still in high school?"
"……yes."
When Xu Ling didn't hit the smiley person, he saw that the other party had no requests, so he replied casually.
"Oh, I'm from another place. Do you know how many martial arts schools are in Qingrong City?"
Xu Ling didn't think much about it. In this world, warriors could become topics of conversation at any time, and replied: "Two schools, one middle school and two middle school."
"Not many..."
The man rubbed the stubble on his chin, "I don't know how many young people will graduate successfully this year."
The conditions for enrolling students in martial arts schools are quite relaxed, and they basically accept everyone as long as they have the qualifications to practice martial arts. But in fact, there are not many people like Xu Ling who have poor qualifications. Generally speaking, only about half of them can meet the minimum graduation standard. Of course, most people will not be as bad as he used to be.
The two chatted without a word, and finally checked the tickets.
When he walked up to the platform, Xu Ling found that the strange man was still following him. He couldn't help but feel alert, but he didn't do anything and he couldn't say anything.
Finally, the two sat down in two adjacent positions in the same carriage, with the first row of D and E seats facing the wall.
The man smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"...Yes." No matter how Xu Ling looked at it, he felt that this guy was not a good person.
"Hey, to be honest, are you a student from the martial arts school?" As a result, the other party still asked for a silly conversation.
"I don't even know you, why do you have to say it?"
The man smiled shamelessly and said, "Then let's meet me. My name is Zhu Talan. I am a warrior, the kind who is so powerful."
Xu Ling glanced at him again with disgust: "Okay, my name is Xu Ling, and I am also a warrior, the kind who is even more powerful than you."
Zhu Talan seemed to feel very interesting and smiled even more happily: "What a big tone, among you students in school, there are only the highest force, how dare you say you are better than me?"
Xu Ling thought about it and found that if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the highest martial arts index of this class of graduates in the city at this time, so he replied: "The highest is 2.08."
"How tall should I be?" Zhu Talan snorted, "Do you know how much I do?"
Xu Ling was too lazy to ask at all, so he raised his eyelids and didn't say anything.
Zhu Talan said to himself: "11.04, isn't it amazing?"
Xu Ling rolled his eyes almost to the sky: "Ha, I almost believed it."
Just kidding, the force index is 11? Looking around the country, there are only a handful of more than 10 people. You 11, come and take the train with me, a poor student. I am full.
Zhu Talan was not angry either, but asked with a smile: "Forget it if you don't believe it, how many of you are?"
"I'm the 2.08, isn't it amazing?" Xu Ling said in his expression.
The cynical middle-aged man also followed suit: "Ha, I almost believed it."
Just kidding, the force index is 2.08? Looking around the country, although there are more than 2 students in school, there are only a few students in school, but there are only 180. If more than 15 years are considered a good year, you, a top student in the country, will you practice martial arts well at home during holidays and come to travel by train? You are full and full.
Neither of them believed each other's words, and the atmosphere fell silent for the time being.
The train started, and Xu Ling took out several history textbooks from his schoolbag from his schoolbag. He planned to use this time to see what happened in the past hundred years.
As a result, after reading it, Zhu Talan was attracted to speak again and asked, "What grade are you in? Why are you still reading the textbooks for the first year of high school now?"
The martial arts school cultural courses are passed one period and one period. In theory, as long as the final exam is passed, you don’t need to read the books for this semester again, let alone the last two academic years.
"I'm happy." Xu Ling glared at him and opened the book.
As a result, Zhu Talan closed the book for him again: "If you don't know what you don't know, you only have the key points in the book, and you don't know many details after reading it."
Xu Ling smiled angry: "You care if I like to see what I like?"
"Isn't this a chat? I have nothing to do on the road anyway, so I'll just talk to me."
No matter how childish Zhu Talan is, he will not be able to compete with a teenage student, and he will first give in.
Xu Ling was not a ungrateful person. Seeing that the other party lowered his posture, he no longer felt pretentious: "Okay, then you can talk about it first, why are there no satellites in the sky?"
Zhu Talan stared at him for a long time but couldn't say a word.
Xu Ling said, "I'm afraid of showing off? I didn't ask for it because I didn't ask for it. I didn't know if I asked you, so I'm so embarrassed."
"No, no."
Zhu Talan shook his head with laughter and cry, "I didn't expect that there would be someone who wouldn't know about this."
This time it was Xu Ling's turn to be stunned. Is it still possible for everyone to know what is extremely unreasonable in his opinion?
"Brother, let me tell me."
Xu Ling knew there was a family, so he immediately corrected his attitude and looked eager to know.
Zhu Talan was caught off guard by his face change, but instead asked guiltily: "Do you tell me first, do you know the new era method?"
"I know, global demonization occurred 122 years ago. That year was defined as the New Yuan 0th, and now it is one or two years."
This is common sense, even Xu Ling knows it very well, after all, he sees the calendar on his mobile phone every day.
"Oh OK."
Zhu Talan continued to test, "Then do you know the process of the loss of contact between countries, the last foreign communication, the establishment of the warrior system, the rise and decline of the twelve clans, the formation of the eight major families, and the eleven overseas explorations?"
Xu Ling replied honestly: "I only know about the eight major families and eleven explorations."
Zhu Talan's expression froze: "You don't know what you learned from the first and second year of high school, right? If I guess correctly, will you be in the third year of high school this year?"
"Brother, you are so smart, how could you guess?"
"Nonsense, I have also attended martial arts school. I forgot the first year of high school and forget the second year of high school. You must have not listened to the class, so I just pointed at the teacher and pointed out the key points at the end of the semester."
In fact, this situation is the norm in martial arts schools. Everyone thinks about martial arts practice. To be honest, I don’t take the cultural courses to heart.
Xu Ling stretched out his thumb: "Brother Niu, so tell me why there are no satellites in the sky."
Zhu Talan was speechless: "But to be honest, I don't even know about this. I have only met you in so many years."
"Listen, you just said it right, but not completely right, because demonization did not happen overnight. It was a slow process. At first, there were few monsters and warriors, and there were connections between countries. It was not until the third year of the New Yuan that we lost contact with the last country."
"In fact, the determination of the New Yuan Dynasty was not precisely due to the beginning of demonization, but the event that everyone knows."
