Chapter 357 Three Magical Instruments
After returning home, Lu Ran took a nice bath, then fell headfirst onto the bed in the small bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Ran ignored all the disturbances from the outside world.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, he fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until dusk that Lu Ran slowly woke up.

"Um"

Lu Ran rubbed his eyes, turned his head and looked at the white wall next to the computer desk.

He dropped one hand to the bedside and squeezed it gently.

A Tang sword slowly came out of its sheath at the knife rack on the wall and flew to Lu Ran's hand.

"How is it? Have you thought it through?" Lu Ran asked in a low voice.

Silent Night: "All living beings are forbidden to cast spells."

Lu Ran's heart was pounding: "Is your magic weapon domain really silent?"

Ji Ye: "At first, I just wanted to silence the golden-winged bat, but that piercing cry was just the way an evil magic was cast."

Lu Ran was so excited that he clenched the hilt of the knife: "Yes, yes, yes! That's absolutely right!"

The Ji Ye Dao gently broke free, flew back to the wall, and was sheathed.

Lu Ran: ???
What do you mean?
Are you disliking me?
I obviously took a shower, I'm not dirty
Lu Ran suddenly reacted: "You are a knife, chopping meat with blood on it every day, you think I'm dirty?"

Silent Night: "It doesn't matter whether it's dirty or clean, your voice is too loud."

Lu Ran: “.”

You won’t even let me get excited?
Lu Ran looked at the silent night on the wall and lowered his voice deliberately: "Is your path still blocked?"

In his mind, Ji Ye's thoughts came: "No, I am blocked outside and not allowed to comprehend deeply."

Lu Ran's expression turned serious: "Can you sense where that magic weapon is?"

Silent Night: “No.”

"No?" Lu Ran frowned slightly, "The divine weapons with overlapping domains will definitely be able to sense each other's locations!"

Ji Ye confirmed again: "I just know that the other party exists.

But I can’t pinpoint the other person’s location.”

Lu Ran was silent for a long time, then sighed softly: "This is not easy to deal with."

If that's the case, then there is only one possibility.

That magical weapon is not in this world!
Only when the magic weapon is not in the same dimension will it be unable to search for the enemy.

Therefore, the magic weapon is most likely in a demon cave.

It may belong to human soldiers or to the evil camp.

Compared to human soldiers, Lu Ran would rather have the weapon in the hands of evil demons.

In that way, Lu Ran would not have any psychological burden when he took action.

However, if that weapon is really in the hands of the evil demon.
Then the Silent Night Sword will not be able to improve for quite a long time in the future.

How easy is it to challenge the evil demon himself?
Fortunately, the evil demons were suppressed by the gods and hid deep in the devil’s cave, unable to get out of the cave.

Otherwise, Lu Ran might die suddenly at any time.
"Ji Ye, I have a task for you."

"Ah."

"Always be alert. No matter where you are or when, or how critical the situation is, once you realize where the other party is, be sure to notify me immediately!"

Lu Ran's words were very serious.

Once the Silent Night Sword locks onto the enemy, it means that the opponent has come to the world with weapons!
This involves Lu Ran's life, and even more so the safety of his relatives and friends, as well as the city he lives in.

Jiye: “Yes!”

"Click."

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

A little head poked in and looked around secretly.

After a moment, the brother and sister looked at each other and blinked.

"elder brother!"

Qiao Yuanxi immediately pushed the door open and walked in, her little face puffed up again.

"Hello, little pufferfish."

"You are the little pufferfish!" Qiao Yuanxi looked unhappy, "You have slept for a whole day!"

Lu Ran was a little puzzled: "You've been killing all night, aren't you sleepy?"

Qiao Yuanxi pouted: "I woke up from hunger at noon!"

"Oh!" Lu Ran immediately got up from the bed, "I'll go cook for you."

Qiao Yuanxi's face suddenly lit up with smiles, and she followed Lu Ran happily into the kitchen with him.

After dinner, the brother and sister sat on the sofa together watching TV.

Lu Ran also had a video call with Jiang Ruyi.

What’s quite interesting is that Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi are both very quiet, but it’s Xiao Yuanxi who is chattering here and Si Xianxian who is shouting over there.

When they made the video call, Jiang and Si were in a house in Luoxian Village.

That was the house that Lu Ran arranged for Jiang's father and mother, and the couple were both there.

Lu Ran and Qiao Yuanxi greeted each other and agreed to celebrate the New Year together after they finished their work.

There was a detail that made Lu Ran feel a little emotional.

When he was talking to his uncle and aunt, Jiang's mother Zhuang Jingyi's eyes were visibly moist.

Although the fifteenth night has passed, she still can't help but worry and fear when she thinks of what Lu Ran has experienced.

Lu Ran could feel that Zhuang Jingyi already treated him as her own child.

Originally, Jiang Ruyi disguised herself very well and always had a gentle smile on her face.

As her mother's mood fluctuated, Jiang Ruyi's mood also became uncomfortable.
Lu Ran felt very lucky.

In such a world full of suffering, there is such a warm family who cares about you and waits for you.

Lu Ran even felt that this was compensation given to him by God.

As long as you live diligently and hard, there will always be good things waiting for you.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar.

That morning, the brother and sister were sitting in front of their computer desks, looking at the official website of Tianjiao, waiting for the results to be announced.

"It's seven fifty-nine." Qiao Yuanxi stamped her feet excitedly and kept refreshing the page. "It must be first." Lu Ran said with a smile, "I don't believe that I can't get 134 points. Hmm."

Before Lu Ran could finish his words, a small hand covered his mouth.

Qiao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense! Don't be so unbelieving!"

Lu Ran nodded, and a muffled voice came out from his white and tender little hands: "I believe in evil."

I am too superstitious!

In this world, you won't find anyone more superstitious than me.

To be precise, it is evil that believes in me!
"Humph." Seeing Lu Ran's obedient face, Qiao Yuanxi let go of his hand, turned his head to look at the computer screen, and then exclaimed, "Eight o'clock!"

She quickly refreshed the interface and saw the newly released link:
"Tianjiao Fifth Battle (15th day of the twelfth lunar month) Second Batch of Participating Students' Report Card"

"Here I come!" Qiao Yuanxi clicked it immediately and saw Lu Ran's name at a glance.

146 points!
"Yo huh~~~"

Qiao Yuanxi jumped up with excitement and cheered.

She turned around and hugged Lu Ran, her face flushed: "I told you you are number one!"

Lu Ran also smiled, but said, "I don't know who it was, but he made me believe in evil just now."

"First place! This time it's a real first place!"

Qiao Yuanxi couldn't hear what Lu Ran said at all, and turned his head to look at the computer again.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Qiao Yuanxi sat down on the chair, her chin supported by her little hand, and looked at her brother's score happily.

It's like if I watch it for a while longer, the score will go up.
Lu Ran glanced at the report card and grinned: "It's a sin to be promoted to Jiangjing, the score is too low.

I fought so hard with Bloodskull, but I only got 146 points?"

Qiao Yuanxi said instead: "Is it high enough?
Think about it, on the night of October 142th, you experienced the Night Parade of Ghosts and fought against the Demon Lord and the Evil Spear Emperor, and you only scored points!"

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed so.

Compared in this way, the score bonus for killing Jiangjing Demon Lord Xueluan is really a lot.

Qiao Yuanxi said happily: "Let me see how the judges praised you."

She clicked the mouse and clicked on Lu Ran's grades, and saw the comments:

"The first of the Tianjiao, the blessing of Daxia!"

"When I hear people crying, praying, cheering and shouting for you, and when I see the devout looks people give you, the scores have lost their practical meaning."

"The world is the scroll, and the mountains and rivers are the answers."

"Painting Lingyan, going to Ganquan, fame and success have always belonged to the young!"

Qiao Yuanxi's eyes sparkled. She turned to look at Lu Ran, then turned back to look at the computer screen.

Her ponytail swung back and forth and her little head turned like a rattle.

Lu Ran: “.”

Qiao Yuanxi chuckled: "Since ancient times, fame and success have been bestowed on young people~"

Lu Ran patted her head: "What do the first six words mean?"

Qiao Yuanxi: "Don't know?"

"Aren't you a top student at Kyoto University?"

"Tsk~ Let me check it out later." Qiao Yuanxi admired it carefully for a long time. The more he looked, the sweeter he felt.

After a while, she returned to the official website, and then her eyes froze.

"Annual Prodigy List"!
Qiao Yuanxi quickly clicked in.

"In the year 2019, the Year of the Pig in the lunar calendar, here are the rankings of the Hundred Prodigies of the Year."

“First place, Lu Ran, follower of the Immortal Sheep, from Yuxiang City No. 1 Senior High School/Wuliehe University.

Total score 729 points (five games: 143, 149, 149, 142, 146).”

"The second place is He Qifeng, a follower of the warrior monk."

Qiao Yuanxi was very happy, and suddenly thought of something: "Oh, brother, we can choose the reward!"

Lu Ran nodded immediately: "I thought you forgot."

"How is that possible!" Qiao Yuanxi hurriedly looked for the reward page, "This time, the magic weapon information should be released!"

At this point, Lu Ran was also a little excited.

"Got it!" Qiao Yuanxi hurriedly looked at the magic weapon.

The first magic weapon is indeed a precious orb!

"Magic weapon: Wind barrier orb: Use the magic weapon to summon a wind barrier to block the invading enemies."

Qiao Yuanxi looked strange: "Isn't this just a defensive technique? Wind wall?"

Lu Ran speculated: "Since it is a magic weapon, the wind wall should be very large and the defensive effect should be very strong, right?"

Qiao Yuanxi smacked her lips and looked at the second magic weapon.

It turned out not to be a gourd, but a wooden crutch?

The part that looks like a gourd mouth is a small protrusion on the wooden crutch.
“Good job!” Lu Ran was amused. “Tianjiao is fooling everyone.”

"Magic weapon: Dragon Whiskers Staff: Raise the magic weapon, and the dragon whiskers can attack the enemy.

The dragon whisker staff can also grow into a towering tree, and its endless dragon whiskers can protect an area and shelter all living things."

Qiao Yuanxi looked strange: "Isn't this the Biwu Divine Technique, the Biwu Tree?"

Lu Ran: “.”

It's a magical weapon after all.

Should it be more powerful than the green phoenix tree?

Qiao Yuanxi scrolled down and looked at the third magical instrument: "What is this? A gourd?"

People guessed wrong about the second magic weapon, and the third magic weapon covered by fog turned out to be a gourd.

It's like people guessed wrong, but not completely wrong?
Qiao Yuanxi read: "Magic weapon: Fiery Phoenix Pattern Gourd: can absorb the divine power between heaven and earth to assist in cultivation.

It can also absorb the corpses of evil spirits, refine their bodies, and absorb the energy within them."

Qiao Yuanxi's voice became smaller and smaller, and he muttered: "Isn't this just a divine power bead?"

Lu Ran: “.”
