Barrier of Light

South Cave, Area S12.

Gu Xiaoman, dressed in black, stood in the courtyard. She took a horse stance and put on a decent boxing stance.

"Didn't you say that... my awakened ability is spiritual..."

Gu Xiaoman was a little confused: "The mental system should be about fighting in the air, right? Why do you need to practice this kind of thing?"

An iron human stake stood in the courtyard, which Gu Shen made using the [Iron Throne].

This small courtyard, which is not very big, is quite lively at the moment.

Gu Shen, Bai Xiu, Chen Mi, Shen Li, as well as Zhuang Su and Qi Mo from the "Neutral" organization were all in the small courtyard.

"Think of all those fights you had in the backstreets."

Gu Shen said: "The battles of the Awakened are more dangerous than those put together. What spiritual supernatural beings are most afraid of... is the melee attack system. Just imagine, once you lose your spiritual power, you will be attacked by a powerful attack supernatural being at close range." body--"

Gu Xiaoman's expression became serious.

After awakening the ability.

She volunteered to start "practicing".

Gu Xiaoman once saw those teenagers in the E0 area who had awakened their power and displayed incredible powers. Some could summon strong winds and others could control flames... It was a pity that his [Dream] did not have such a "cool" ability. show.

However, Gu Shen didn't seem to have any intention of teaching her to use her abilities directly.

Instead, he brought her to this iron man stake.

The biggest shortcoming of the mental system is "close combat".

Gu Shen is one of the strongest spiritual people in his field - he has suffered a lot along the way.

If you want to become the top strong person, it is not enough to be strong in one aspect. Being the strongest in the same realm means that you cannot have too many shortcomings.

Gu Xiaoman's awakened [Dream of Oblivion] is an extraordinary ability that only becomes more powerful in the "later stages".

She awakened so early and her talent was so dazzling. She was still young and her bones were not yet fully developed. As long as she practiced physical skills diligently enough, she would be the next invincible "same realm"!

"Those fights in the backstreets..."

Gu Xiaoman took a deep breath, and her eyes became determined.

She will never forget that memory for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to be pinned to the ground and beaten again.

"Battles between extraordinary beings often start with fists..."

Gu Shen smiled and looked behind him.

"At least we all do."

The people behind him, Chen Mei, Baixiu, and Shen Li, were all top-notch experts in close combat.

…

…

When it comes to spiritual practice, Gu Shen is an expert.

But when it comes to physical skills.

Chen Mi, Baixiu, and Shen Li each have their own merits. The three of them have different "skills factions." Gu Xiaoman started her own path of extraordinary practice. She was lucky enough to get the support of four "geniuses" from the beginning. teach.

Shen Li is slightly worse here, but the little iron man's fighting talent is enough to be ranked among the top five in Nagano at the same level.

Gu Xiaoman has a strong willpower.

Perhaps it was [Dream] that gave her a strong initial spirit, or perhaps she was the future host selected by the "Wine Fire". She practiced from sunrise to sunset in the evening without even saying she was tired.

The three teachers taught different "physical skills" respectively.

She learned quickly and learned by analogy.

The last one to take over was Shen Li.

Gu Shen and Bai Xiu were in the corner of the courtyard, looking at the children in the courtyard who were punching the iron man stakes and beating them fiercely.

"This little guy's 'stamina' is top notch."

Bai Xiu looked at the girl in black and said softly: "From morning to night, tirelessly... This can be regarded as a kind of talent."

Gu Shen nodded.

The psychoanalysis instrument to detect Gu Xiaoman's ability is actually only the first step——

The real extraordinary practice begins.

Her various data were slowly revealed.

"I don't know the physical condition of the last [Yanmeng] host 'Zhou Yu', but Xiaoman's physical fitness is much better than that of his peers..."

Gu Shen said slowly: "She punched the iron man post, causing bruises on her fists. Logically speaking, the force feedback is also quite painful. Even if you are a beginner in the power attack system, it will be difficult to hold on for a whole day..."

"Is it the reason for the selection of fire? The lucky ones who are 'selected' have talents that are different from ordinary people at the initial stage of awakening."

Bai Xiu slowly moved his head and looked at Gu Shen.

He was not present the day Gu Xiaoman woke up, but everything that happened...he had already heard about it.

"What do you see me doing?"

Gu Shen smiled helplessly and said, "How can I know this kind of thing?"

"...You have divination skills." Bai Xiu said calmly.

"Please, divination does not mean omniscience and omnipotence."

Gu Shen took his time and changed the topic: "I'm going to teach her how to practice the 'Breath of Spring' in the next two days... In a few days, the hunting trip will begin. By then, I will take her to experience the 'extraordinary' The battle between."

"Um……"

Bai Xiu did not go into details and continued to ask.

He looked at the little girl in black shirt who kept punching and moving in the courtyard.

Gu Xiaoman suffered a lot in Sangzhou Cave, but God was kind to her. She met Gu Shen and herself.

"Isn't it too early to practice Breath of Spring now?"

Bai Xiu said calmly: "Also...does the outside world know that she shares your surname Gu?"

"For geniuses, the sooner they practice breathing techniques, the better."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to have the surname Gu. This little guy has the same surname as me, why should I tell the world?"

"..."

Bai Xiu sighed softly and looked at Gu Shen gently, his eyes seeming to say, "You know what I mean."

"It's a good thing that her surname is Gu. The Gu family will not refuse."

Gu Shen still smiled and said: "Who wouldn't like the future 'Lord of Wine'?"

"The Tower of Source will come to snatch it."

"Then let them come." Gu Shen said: "They can try to come to Dongzhou to rob it."

"Maybe they won't wait until the day Xiaoman goes to Dongzhou."

Baixiu said meaningfully: "The reason why the Four Divine Envoys went south for this 'Sangzhou Cave' mission... is because the Tower of Source wants to conceal the news about the 'Lord of Wine', and they want to complete it silently. Transfer. Now that Xiaoman has been intercepted by us, it involves the 'Lord of Wine', and when things evolve to the end, Mr. Tianshui may end up personally."

The end of Tianshui means that the situation has escalated.

Once the Tower of Source gives up "concealing" the news and attacks forcefully——

Then the mission to the south will no longer be about young fourth-order people from different continents fighting against each other.

Those titled extraordinary people who have lived for a long time and represent the extreme combat power of the human world will also go south... and even in the end, the apostles who worship the sacred tokens will also come.

It’s all worth it for the “Lord of Wine.”

"There is [Deep Sea] monitoring the surrounding areas of Sangzhou Cave. If you want to secretly send it out... it is almost impossible."

Bai Xiu said: "The Four Divine Envoys have a 'cloud mirror', and Guangming City may also be watching. In this Sangzhou Cave, even if you and I want to hide our traces, we will be reluctant to send her out of the island. It is almost impossible." "

Gu Shen looked at Bai Xiu: "So... what do you mean?"

"We have to prepare for the worst."

Baixiu lowered his eyebrows and said, "The enemy is not just the four divine envoys, it may be Tianshui, it may even be..."

He stopped at this point.

But Gu Shen understood that it was more likely to be the Sky God's Throne sitting high on the top of the Tower of Origin.

"In a few days, the hunt will begin. Metropolis will send new 'mental detection instruments' and building materials to reinforce the outer walls." Gu Shen said, "I will try to find an opportunity to send her out..."

"But you're right, you really have to prepare for the worst."

Gu Shen took a gentle breath.

He looked solemn.

The Lord of Wine... can be snatched away by him, or it can be snatched away by others.

However, people from other continents may not be so "kind" to Xiao Man.

Baixiu and Gu Shen stood shoulder to shoulder. After he finished listening, he was silent for a long time.

After a long time.

"[Dream] is a mental ability with S-level potential."

Bai Xiu said: "Logically speaking, your [Blazing Fire] characteristic is the most similar to her, and you are the most suitable to teach her to start practicing..."

Gu Shen was stunned.

"But I think this kid is kind."

Xiaoxiu asked seriously: "I want to teach some of her 'extraordinary practice' from now on..."

"...Xiaoman!"

When Gu Shen heard this, he immediately shouted and waved to Gu Xiaoman, who was practicing boxing against the iron man post in the courtyard, to come over.

Shen Li's last teaching has ended.

At dusk, the little girl in black clothes was practicing hard alone in the courtyard. After hearing this, she was startled for a moment, and then immediately ran over.

"Brother Gu Shen, did you call me?"

She raised her head, reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and smiled.

Gu Shen saw that her fists were covered with bruises, and silently flicked his fingers to spark a ray of fire. The "fire of vitality" quietly penetrated into the little girl's skin and slowly dissipated.

He smiled and patted Bai Xiu's shoulders and said softly: "Call me Master."

"...Master?"

Gu Xiaoman reacted for a moment, then looked at the young man in white in front of her, and she honestly shouted: "Master."

"Beautiful, remember, your master Baixiu is an evil genius who is unique among all the people in the East Continent."

Gu Shen knelt down and smiled at Xiao Man: "From now on, follow him and learn hard. If you have any trouble, let him handle it for you. He is very powerful. If you understand, just nod."

Gu Xiaoman was confused and just nodded.

Baixiu: "???"

His expression, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, was a little stunned at the moment.

He looked at Gu Shen with a complicated expression. He just expressed his wish to "teach Xiao Man", so did Gu Shen just call him over and call him master?

But...this seems to be good?

Perhaps because of the affinity brought about by the "Wine Fire Seed" selection, Baixiu felt that the little girl in front of him was very suitable for him...

His eyes gradually became gentle.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to teach Xiaoman."

Gu Shen stood up and said seriously: "Except for the cultivation of the 'spiritual system', I leave everything else to you..."

Baixiu took the initiative to teach Xiaoman.

This was simply pie from the sky... He hurriedly responded, fearing that Baixiu would regret it if he was just a few seconds late!

Gu Xiaoman's talent is very good. [Dream Dream] is a one-in-a-million spiritual ability. In addition, he is also favored by the "Fire of Wine"... But Bai Xiu is even more outrageous than her -

The BUG-level ability of [Thunder World Walker] is comparable to [Blazing Fire] in terms of functionality, and its direct actual combat ability is stronger than [Judge]!

This is simply a talent that leads directly to the throne of God!

Baixiu's spirit, physical skills, element control...every aspect is perfect.

Having such a hexagonal warrior who was willing to teach Gu Xiaoman was something Gu Shen could only hope for.

Of course, he will also teach carefully.

There are only a few good teachers, but too many skills are not enough.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Shen Li was standing not far away. When he saw this scene, he shouted with a dark face: "What does this mean? I taught you very hard! You should call me 'Master' at least!"

Chen Mei, who was indifferent to everything, crossed his arms and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Xiaoman turned around.

The little girl scratched her head and said innocently: "Brother Shen, you taught me well..."

The little iron man snorted: "Even if you say that, I won't calm down."

"It's just that I always feel that you are a little different from the previous two masters." Gu Xiaoman said frankly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shen Li: "???"

After saying that, Gu Xiaoman bowed to Chen Mei on the other side, saluted, and sweetly shouted, "Master Chen Mei... please be more tolerant in the future!"

Chen Mei, who couldn't hold back his laughter before, was a little dumbfounded now.

Master? How come you have become a master?

He glanced at the little girl and then at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen looked at the little girl with approval.

The future is promising! The future is promising!

This little guy is so sensible, he knows how to kill snakes and follow the stick... He has the same demeanor as when he was young!

This is not over yet. After Gu Xiaoman finished shouting, he looked back at Gu Shen, his eyes full of longing and innocence: "Brother Gu Shen, I heard you say that extraordinary people generally have 'sealed objects', what are they?" , after worshiping the master, can I get the sealed artifact?"

"good very good……"

Gu Shen was quite pleased.

This child will reach out for gifts.

Baixiu's expression changed a little, and he felt that things seemed to be developing in a strange direction.

Gu Shen said gently: "Sealed objects are small objects with 'extraordinary properties'. Extraordinary people often use 'sealed objects' to fight enemies and protect themselves... If you worship the master, master will of course give you sealed objects."

Finished.

He looked at Baixiu.

Bai Xiu was silent for a few seconds, then took off the bracelet hidden in his sleeve.

"A-level sealed artifact, 'Thunder Hand Beads', there are seven in total, and there are seven left."

Baixiu said softly: "This object is used for self-defense. If you encounter a desperate situation and touch it with mental power... it can be detonated immediately. If you detonate one, there is no possibility of survival below the third level."

Gu Xiaoman wowed, she took the bracelet, turned around and looked at Chen Mei.

The smile disappeared from Chen Mo's face.

If he had known that after class, he should have left this small courtyard, away from Gu Shen, and away from Gu Xiaoman!

"A-level sealed object... called 'Hundred Explosive Finger Tiger'. After wearing it, it can greatly increase its strength and exert a 'burning' effect on the target."

After some thought, Young Master Chen of the Nanwan Group took out the sealed artifact he most commonly used...

Gu Xiaoman's talent is indeed good enough, and he is actually happy to be this master. As for giving gifts, that is actually indifferent.

He could see that Bai Xiu really wanted to be Gu Xiaoman's master.

As for himself, he is probably the "honorary master". Now that he is giving away a sealed object, he can become the honorary master of the future "Lord of Wine" and become acquainted with Gu Shen——

This deal is actually a good deal.

"Thank you, Master Chen Mo."

Gu Xiaoman still screamed sweetly, this time she looked at Shen Li, "Master Shen?"

"???"

Shen Li, who was gloating about his misfortune, was dumbfounded.

"No, why did you become master? You should call me Brother Shen!"

The little iron man wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

Finally, he took out the bell hanging in front of his neck from his arms. It was a spiritual protective reactant he had worn for a long time. Before meeting Gu Shen, this sealed object protected his soul from being affected by the [Gluttony] state. .

But now, he has no use for it.

Gu Shen helped him solve the problem of "mental loss of control".

Shen Li rubbed the bell with some reluctance: "My family background is not comparable to the previous two. Since you called me master... I will give you this sealed object. It can protect your 'spirit' from being affected." .”

"Thank you, Brother Shen!"

Gu Xiaoman took the object sincerely, and then obeyed Shen Li's previous request and changed the name back.

Finally, she returned to Gu Shen with a full load.

Gu Shen looked at her with a smile.

She also looked at Gu Shen with a smile.

The courtyard was silent for a few seconds...

Gu Shen: "You won't..."

Gu Xiaoman said seriously: "Brother Gu Shen, can I call you master?"

Gu Shen: "???"

Bai Xiu, Chen Mei and Shen Li all showed happy smiles.

Gu Shen squatted down on Gu Xiaoman, who was usually as big as a brat, and said with a smile, "You don't have to shout, my brother will give you the sealed artifact..."

Gu Xiaoman smiled even happier.

But in the next second, Gu Shen stretched out his hand to hold Gu Xiaoman's palm and said seriously: "Xiaoman, be good... You are too young, and these sealed objects are too dangerous for you to control. Come, I will keep them for you."
