Chapter 53: Beads and Knives
"Take good care of your home."

Outside the house, Lu Ran blocked the crack in the door with his legs, watching the little tabby who was trying to sneak out.

"Meow~" After several unsuccessful attempts, Lihua looked up at his master and called out unwillingly.

"Click."

The ruthless owner closed the security door tightly.

The tabby cat tilted its head, squatted at the door for a while, and then ran to a corner of the living room.

There was a freshly opened can of fish.

Lu Ran walked out of the residential building, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He did not choose to continue practicing in front of the shrine because he no longer needed to absorb divine power from the outside world.

If the human body is compared to a container, then the divine power contained in Lu Ran's body has reached its limit at this moment!
Just as Xian Yang had just taught him, Lu Ran only needed to do one thing when he reached the fifth stage of the Fog Realm.

"Condensing the water flow."

Lu Ran murmured, carefully feeling the divine power in his body.

While trying his best to compress the mist in his body, he walked towards the school.

Perhaps it was because his physical fitness had greatly improved, or maybe Lu Ran was too focused and walked too fast without realizing it.

It took him less than 20 minutes to reach the empty campus.

In fact, students hardly ever attend classes after they enter their senior year of high school.

You can even regard Yuxiang No. 1 Middle School as a "mission hall".

The school will announce the monthly assessment tasks before the 15th day of the lunar calendar each month.

Students will also be organized to travel to surrounding cities and enter various magic caves for training.

A series of expenses including food and accommodation, travel expenses, and cave tickets are all borne by the school.

What students need to do is to constantly hone themselves and strive to grow.

Today is the first day of school, and this morning class is probably the only class this month.

Lu Ran hurried as fast as he could and finally arrived at the classroom before the bell rang.
"Dong Dong Dong~"

Lu Ran knocked on the classroom door and saw Teacher Li Yanzhu on the podium through the window.

Li Yanzhu turned her head and looked at him. Her originally serious expression actually relaxed a little: "Come in."

"Teacher Li." Lu Ran opened the door and nodded embarrassedly.

"Yo huh~~~"

"Wow! It's alive! It's alive!"

"Lu Ran is really alive, so awesome!"

Waves of cheers and boos immediately rang out.

Obviously, everyone knew that Lu Ran had gone to participate in the city defense mission on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

And this morning, Lu Ran didn't report for duty again, which inevitably made people think too much.

"You're late." Although Li Yanzhu said this, she didn't mean to blame him.

Lu Ran chuckled and said, "I just went to Class 4 of Grade . I was wondering why the teacher changed."

"Go back to your seat." Li Yanzhu rarely smiled, but immediately frowned again.

"Hey." Lu Ran immediately walked into the classroom and found that there were a lot fewer students.

The class that originally had 40 students now has less than 30 students left.

Those students who failed to worship God were naturally not suitable to stay in the same group with believers, and were transferred to other classes.

Come to think of it, believers are nominally “human beings”, but their every move and gesture are no longer like those of human beings.

Jiang Ruyi can slap an ordinary student against the wall with just a casual slap. How can they play together?
"Tian Tian?" Lu Ran was stunned.

When he walked towards Jiang Ruyi's desk, he found that his seat was occupied by a little loli.

Lu Ran turned his head and looked at the class again, only then did he realize that there were many new faces.

It seems that the school has adjusted the students in the same team into one class.

Lu Ran even saw a dark-skinned girl sitting in the last row.

Chang Ying?

Lu Ran also didn't recognize the girl next to Chang Ying, but he felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

Unlike Chang Ying, the girl sitting at the same table with a ponytail has fair skin, and the contrast between their skin tones is quite obvious!

It's like the Black and White Devils.

"What are you standing there for?" Li Yanzhu urged, "Find a place to sit down!"

"Oh." Lu Ran immediately looked for a seat.

"I'm sorry." Tian Tian lowered her head and apologized in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Ran waved his hand indifferently. What was there to apologize for?

He came to an empty seat and nodded in a friendly manner to the unfamiliar classmate.

The boy was excited and lowered his voice: "Hello, Brother Ran!"

Lu Ran: “.”

So sensible?
The boy has a side-parted hairstyle, single eyelids, and a plaid shirt, and looks a little handsome.

"Brother Ran, can you sign an autograph for me later? I heard that I'm in the same class as you, so I printed out your photo a long time ago!"

Lu Ran: “Ah?”

He really didn't expect that the boy in the plaid shirt actually took out a photo from the desk.

This was the photo taken by Chang Ying and posted in the grade group.

Street lights, drizzle.

A young man with a knife and wearing a yellow raincoat.

In fact, these are nothing.

But if you add a date to this photo - night of the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

Well, it is indeed a bit cool. Lu Ran looked strange, took a look at his own photo, and said, "What's your name, huh?"

He reached out and grabbed a piece of chalk.

On the podium, Li Yanzhu said with a sullen face: "Lu Ran!"

Lu Ran quickly lowered his head, took the chalk and wrote and drew on the desk, pretending to be very busy.

Li Yanzhu was so angry that she shouted, "Go up on stage and get your prize!"

The content and tone of the teacher's words are very contradictory.

In the classroom, all the students looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Lu Ran immediately stood up and went on stage. In fact, he had seen weapons piled in the corner as soon as he entered the classroom.

"Your rainbow stone knife."

Li Yanzhu handed over the rare equipment, and Lu Ran took it immediately. He felt a warm feeling when he touched it.

White rainbow stone looks like some kind of white jade, with a crystal clear and smooth texture.

On the slender blade, there are traces of white lines, like the white halo around the sun and the moon, shining brightly.

"It's so beautiful." Lu Ran murmured.

However, Lu Ran did not invest too much emotion in it. After all, it would not be long before this Baihong stone knife would be updated again!

Just yesterday, the Divine People Bureau informed Lu Ran that it had approved his request to update his equipment.

The Divine and Civil Affairs Bureau should have decided on its own about the material rewards for students who took the additional test.

However, Lu Ran gained recognition from the Divine People Bureau with his outstanding performance, and the Divine People Bureau also prepared an obsidian knife for Lu Ran according to his request!

Obsidian is a more precious material, and its rarity is higher than that of white iridescent stone and colored satin stone!

A well-made obsidian weapon, with a minimum starting price of 18.

The market price is often driven up even higher, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

Such a magical weapon can definitely be used for a lifetime.

"Where is your chalcedony knife?" Li Yanzhu asked.

"I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring it." Lu Ran was a little embarrassed.

Li Yanzhu took out a small red square box and placed it on the podium: "Did you forget to bring the magic beads?"

"Take this." Lu Ran reached to his neck and took off the Xipin Divine Power Pearl.

"Remember to bring the green stone knife when you return to school next time." Li Yanzhu did not make things difficult for Lu Ran and took the Xipin Divine Power Pearl.

While helping Lu Ran remove the divine power beads embedded in the card holder, she casually said, "Let's check it out."

Lu Ran immediately opened the small square box, and suddenly, the light overflowed.

The divine orb was crystal clear, twice larger than the tip of a finger, and the light flowing through it was quite magical.

For a moment, classmates cast envious glances at him.

This is the river-grade divine power bead!

It is a "gem" in the true sense!
The amount of divine power stored is astonishing!
"Let's go back."

"Thank you, teacher!" Lu Ran was secretly delighted and returned with a full load.

That joyful look inevitably made everyone jealous.

The students had no other options, and even found it difficult to find an angle to question.

After all, Lu Ran’s battle record is clearly visible!
He even dared to take part in the additional test on July 15th in the form of a Mist Realm cultivator!
That's really putting your head on your belt, you're willing to risk your life.
"Ling ring ring~"

The bell for the end of get out of class suddenly rang, and Li Yanzhu patted the podium, easily drowning out the bell:

"It's time to go home and get ready after school. The bus will leave from the school gate on time at 1:30 pm."

The students stood up one after another and the class was noisy.

Lu Ran looked at Deng Yutang who was walking over and asked, "Where are you going?"

Deng Yutang: "The school organized us to go to Wuling Mountain and asked us to submit 300 Mist Realm Magic Crystals within days."

Lu Ran frowned slightly: "Is it okay not to go?"

"Okay, it's not mandatory. As long as we hand in enough magic crystals, we will get believer points."

"That is not bad."

Deng Yutang looked puzzled: "Which demon cave do you want to go to, Brother Lu?"

Lu Ran was a little embarrassed: "Evil Dog Village?"

Deng Yutang was stunned. How did this get into trouble with the Vicious Dog Village?
Do you have a grudge against those thin dogs?
Looking at the other person's expression, Lu Ran didn't know how to explain.

He just wanted to upgrade the level of the evil dog Xiesu as soon as possible.

It would be even more perfect if during the training, I could advance to the Creek Realm together with the Evil Dog Statue!

Evil magic and evil sensitivity, now you can equip it!

If you want to play jungle, you must have the attitude of playing jungle!

Watch how I transform into a nimble little dog
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruyi came over with Tian Tian.

Deng Yutang shrugged his shoulders: "Brother Lu wants to go to the Vicious Dog Village."

"Oh?" Jiang Ruyi was also a little surprised.

"How about this." Lu Ran was a little embarrassed, "Let's go to the evil dog village first and kill him.

Then we will go to Wuling Mountain to see the new demon cave and challenge the new evil demon. "

Jiang Ruyi did not refuse, but was a little confused: "You like killing vicious dogs so much?"

Lu Ran nodded heavily, with a strong will: "I like it very much!"

Deng Yutang smiled and said, "If Brother Lu really likes it, we can continue to train in the Evil Dog Village.

Anyway, Wuling Mountain is not far away, and you can go there anytime you want, so we can talk about it later."

"He has to be our own brother!" Lu Ran grabbed Deng Yutang's hand.

You take care of me so much, I will definitely repay you!
Wait until I equip myself with some powerful evil magic.
From now on, you can rest assured about your sister!
I'll take care of her for you!
