When the two of them entered the classroom, many of the students who were already seated looked at them with gloating gazes.
Li Mochen knew that the news of them being surrounded by Hancock had already spread throughout the academy.
The schools in this world were similar to the Divine Firmament Sect's Upper and Lower Houses. The situation of the students was probably similar. When Li Mochen had first started learning immortal spells in the Divine Firmament Lower House, he had loved to listen to gossip.
"What are you looking at?"
William was annoyed by their stares, so he glared back. "Be careful, or I'll beat you up!"
Thus, most of the people in the classroom kept quiet and looked away. They lowered their heads and turned their attention to their books.
In order to maintain the enrolment rate, Linden Academy would usually group the self-funded students and the students with the best results from the government-funded students together. The 10th grade B class that Li Mochen and William were in, as well as the A and C classes next to it, were the cream of the crop of the entire grade.
Thus, most of the students here were obedient in the eyes of the teachers. They couldn't afford to offend someone like William.
However, there were also a few who looked rather disdainful. It was obvious that they didn't care about William's threat and just didn't want to argue with him.
Then there were the two girls in the class who had been looking at Li Mochen with worried expressions on their faces.
However, Li Mochen didn't look at them and walked in as if he didn't see them. He found his seat and sat down. The two girls were very good-looking. At least 40% of the men in this world would fall in love with them at first sight. But to Q-Sword Tao Ran, women were all fleeting clouds.
Thus, after sitting down, he focused his attention on the history textbook in front of him.
The original owner of this body had excellent grades. There was no doubt that he was an excellent student. But the blow to his family and the work he did had an impact on his studies.
Take this history textbook for example. If it had been a year ago, the original owner of this body would have already completely understood it and started to divert his attention to those extracurricular reading materials to increase his knowledge. But at this time, the original owner could only ensure that he didn't fall behind the overall curriculum.
In Li Mochen's memory, there was only content up to page 73. But what followed was the history of the world that he was very interested in.
Everything in this world was novel to him. It also included the history of this world.
But soon, Li Mochen felt bored and sighed. Even though his soul was heavily injured, he still had his accumulated Dao Karma. His memory and comprehension ability were also very strong. Li Mochen had only flipped through the history textbook once, and he had already understood the contents of the book. He could even recite it backwards.
"Roman Empire, Crusades, Protestantism, Renaissance. I have to say, this western culture does have some good points … "
"The Ancient Eastern Countries of this world are really useless. They were actually ruled by a foreign race. They even shaved their heads and disguised themselves. Their civilization fell. Although I don't know the exact situation, it's probably because of internal strife. "
This was just like the Demonic Calamity of the Original Sky Dome Realm. In the early years, the Immortal Dao was abnormally strong and could crush the demons. However, the various sects schemed and plotted against each other, and the internal strife never ceased. They hindered each other, allowing the devils to develop and grow stronger, ultimately leading to a great disaster.
Back then, he had warned the various sects of the Central Plains many times, calling on them to work together to slay the devils. But what was the use? Others only thought that the Godly Firmament Sect had ulterior motives and wanted to use them as spears. The various sects only swept the snow in front of their own doors, not caring about the frost on the roof of others.
Although the history textbook in Li Mochen's hands did not explain in detail the reason why the Ancient Eastern Country, Ming, was destroyed, he guessed that his guesses were not far off.
Unfortunately, the content of the world history for this grade ended here. Next was the content of modern history. The original body did not take it at the beginning of the school year. Li Mochen could only guess what happened after reading the contents of the magazines and newspapers.
"Luckily, in Year 3882 of the Guang Ming Calendar, which is more than a hundred years ago, a group of capable people appeared. That's good too. To a certain extent, it could be considered as getting rid of the old evils and being reborn. It could be said that the world was created and the Chinese race was rebuilt …"
"However, this world is really vast. Just this America alone has an area of 47 million square kilometers. Is it the current hegemon of all countries, the strongest country in the world? "
"On the surrounding oceans, there are still a few continents shrouded in fog that have not been truly developed. The area is very shocking. The smallest one is tens of millions of square kilometers. There are many mythical creatures living there, and it is the habitat of many monsters and magical beasts. "
"In addition, there is also a dark world that is located on the dark side of the world, parallel to this world of light. It is said that the land there is even more vast, and even until now, the boundaries have not been figured out. However, this dark world is also abnormally dangerous. The minimum requirement to enter it is to be an outsider of the tenth level and above. In the early years, those powerful dark creatures even repeatedly invaded this world of light. "
As Li Mochen thought about it, he sighed. Then, his mind wandered again. He thought to himself, when can I get that unexpected fortune today?
Of course, this was not because he was crazy about money, but because before he left home, he had made a wish to his Godly Firmament Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune.
This treasure that he had obtained when he was young had roughly five functions.
The first was divination. When Tao Ran was in the Golden Core realm, he had already learned the Dipper Divination. With the help of the Heavenly Stars and the Godly Firmament Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune, he could divine every major event. Although he was not a master of divination, the results of his divination were usually very accurate.
The second was to suppress one's luck. The Godly Firmament Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune could consume a certain amount of Essence Qi and the power of merit to help suppress one's luck, allowing one's luck to be in a constant state.
Previously, before Tao Ran's battle with the demons, Q-Sword had used this function. Based on past experience, this state would last at least a month before it would lose its effect. However, he was not sure what it was like now.
In theory, it should still be within the effective period. After all, only seven days had passed. The previous encounter at the Cai Ji Chinese Restaurant seemed to have confirmed this point.
The third was to help others eliminate disasters and solve problems. He could use his own luck. He could help others resolve their calamities, or he could do the opposite and transfer his own calamities to others.
However, this function was actually of little value.
A person's luck was constant to a certain extent. A little more today would be a little less tomorrow. Extreme prosperity leads to decline, and extreme misfortune leads to bliss.
If he gave his own luck to others, he would have less. If he used it too much, it would bring unnecessary disasters to himself.
As for transferring one's own disasters to others, there were all sorts of restrictions and taboos. If he did not use it well, he would still bring disaster to himself.
The fourth was to accumulate merit. This was the real magic of the Godly Firmament Purple Gold Pagoda of Spiritual Fortune. It could turn one's merit into one's own luck. Whether it was the divination, suppressing one's luck, or helping others eliminate disasters, they could all rely on the power of merit to avoid all sorts of side effects.
The last function was to grant wishes. To put it simply, it was the ability to grant wishes to the owner after the owner made a wish.
