Li Yixiao continued, "This world has never been peaceful. The era of the Spirit Qi Revival is about to change, and you and I can't stay out of it. In the year and a half since the establishment of Tengra's Earth Net, 32 cultivators have been sacrificed. The oldest of them is 34 years old, and the youngest is 18 years old. Maybe it will be you or me who will be sacrificed tomorrow. "
"The road of cultivation has never been smooth. It is full of thorns, blood, death, and swords. But the meaning of our existence is that even if our teammates are sacrificed, we will step on their bodies and continue to fight."
"Raise your right hands and take an oath with me." Li Yixiao raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. The unreliable principal in the past had never been so reliable. It was as if Li Yixiao had changed into a different person overnight. His calm words were completely irrelevant to a peaceful life, but everyone listened to him.
All the students became silent inexplicably and raised their right fists.
"I swear to join Tengra's Earth Net. I am not afraid of death or difficulties. From today onwards, I will guard the country until I die. I will guard the country from night to day. I will guard the people... "
"I will work hard to learn military, politics, science, and culture. I will train hard to kill the enemy. I will take good care of weapons and equipment. I will keep military secrets. I will carry forward the fine tradition and fight bravely against violations of the law and discipline. I will fight bravely and be unafraid of sacrifice. I will defend the socialist motherland and the people's peaceful work. I will never betray the motherland under any circumstances... "
"From today onwards, I will dedicate my beloved life to the motherland. I will protect my motherland and never grow old..."
"From today onwards, I will dedicate my regretless youth to the motherland. I will bless my motherland and never grow old..."
"I will firmly fulfill the above oath and never violate it."
The voices of the students of the Dao Yuan Class and Li Yixiao echoed over the entire Luoyang Foreign Language School. The night was stirred up. Each of them was like a soldier about to go to the battlefield, not a student.
The voices of more than 1,000 people were magnificent and impassioned. The students who were still waiting in the class to seal their chakras stood in the corridor and looked at everyone on the playground in silence. Some of them suddenly began to regret whether the decision they and their parents had made was really wrong.
Perhaps he shouldn't judge this decision based on right or wrong, but should follow his heart. Could it be that the hot-bloodedness of his youth was extinguished so early?
In the future, they would have to watch others fight for them like cowards, while they would get married, work, have children, and grow old with a clear conscience.
But when he recalled that he once had the chance to become one of them, could he really feel at ease?
They had no answers.
Lü Shu looked around. Everyone had become hot-blooded because of these vows, as if they had been brainwashed.
Many people might still be afraid of death in the future, and they might still be living an ignoble life, but no one could say that they were not sincere at this moment.
They were not the only ones taking the oath. Lü Shu even saw the homeroom teachers of the Dao Yuan Class who were still in the classroom, such as Xi Ba, clenching their fists and taking the oath outside the corridor.
They should have said it before, right?
The moment the oath was completed, Lv Shu, who originally thought that oaths were child's play, couldn't help but fall silent.
Sometimes, no one knew what kind of power would penetrate their heart and give them a great shock.
This was not a serious oath, and Lü Shu even felt that the oath was a little childish. If it was really fake, it might not have resonated with so many people.
Lü Shu never thought that this kind of oath could bind anyone. Oaths … were they not meant to be broken? Who didn't know how to say something and clench their fists to express their passion?
However, at this moment, Lü Shu was still silent. He suddenly felt that there was some kind of power in his heart that was fiercely sprouting, taking root, sprouting, and growing.
Like a ball of flame, it suddenly ignited, and then his blood began to boil.
Lü Shu still did not think that he was the kind of person who would sacrifice his life for others. He still thought that one day when he was strong enough, he might leave Tengra's Earth Net and live his own life.
However, he thought that if he did not do something for this organization before leaving, if he did not fight side by side with these people enthusiastically and crazily, he would have regrets in his life.
At least … he should be worthy of the resources they gave him, right? Yes, it was to return the resources, not for beliefs.
However, even after thinking this way, Lü Shu still felt a little complicated, because this was too different from his original intention.
Li Yixiao said, "Military officer certificates and other items will be sent to you in half a month. You can go back today. Please remember what you said under the flag today."
For Lü Shu, he preferred freedom. This freedom did not mean that he could do whatever he wanted, but the ability to refuse.
He could not really accept staying in Tengra's Earth Net and listening to other people's orders for the rest of his life, but this did not stop him from doing something.
When Lü Shu returned home, he entered his house without saying a word. He did the lucky draw and ate the Sea of Qi fruit. Then, he suppressed the clouds and cultivated Little Star.
At this moment, it seemed that only cultivation could calm his emotions a little. It was clearly just an oath. Who didn't forget their oaths after taking the oath? If oaths were useful, why would there be so many betrayals?
When the heat of the oath cooled down in his blood, Lü Shu regained his rationality.
He felt that rationality was what humans needed the most. This was the ladder to progress, not impulsiveness. Looking back at the development of humanity, wasn't it the result of generations of people using rationality to find the key to human progress?
The clouds were becoming increasingly difficult to control. Lü Shu endured it until three in the morning. He gradually got used to the difficult days of suppressing the clouds and no longer found it difficult.
He cleaned up and washed his face before going out to practice his swordplay. Li Xianyi sat by the stone table and read a book. Lü Shu quietly practiced his swordplay in the yard, switching from the Pick Formula to the Pierce Formula.
The Pick Formula required skill, while the Pierce Formula required extreme speed and indomitable momentum.
Li Xianyi said that when the eyebrows, mind, arm, hilt, and tip of the sword were aligned, the sword in Lü Shu's hand would be unstoppable.
Li Xianyi was very quiet today. He was just reading his math textbook normally. The second year had become the third year … Lü Shu was even more silent, as if he had not resolved his worries and had yet to find the answer to his own question.
As for what the question was, only he knew.
After the swordplay practice, Li Xianyi put down his book and asked calmly, "Have you joined Tengra's Earth Net?"
"Hmm?"
"What are your plans?"
"I don't know."
