In the classroom, the students couldn't even stand up straight, obviously not interested at all.
The old man didn't care about the situation below him and continued to recite from the book:
"When the great tomb appeared, countless corpses and blood rained down from above"
"In the underground world of our Tomb of Myriad Beasts, trillions of corpses appeared out of nowhere, giving off a fearsome presence"
"Fortunately, we were originally people of this world, through our connection to the world, we were able to pass through the world's natural barrier and freely travel between the Grottos"
"If people from other worlds came here, they would only die within the presence of the countless corpses and bones"
"For the past several thousand years, we've studied the Apocalypse bit by bit, destroying the simplest Apocalypses and sealing away the rest, but against the particularly powerful Apocalypses, we would only be able to survive"
"That's why you need to quickly grow up"
"Alright, next, I'll talk about the main writers of history, how they described the various Apocalypses …"
"The Dark Apocalypse, is an Apocalypse that completely loses sight and perception, it …"
…
"Today's class ends here, dismissed"
The old man closed his book, turned around, and left.
The students all felt like they just woke up from a dream.
"Hm? Is that all? "one of them asked with a drowsy look.
"Yes, let's go back and eat" another person stretched his back and said.
The students quickly left the classroom.
Gu Qing Shan sat in his seat for a while longer.
He had never heard of this knowledge before, so even if the old man was only reciting from the book, he still listened with great interest.
However, regarding the Apocalypse, trillions of corpses, and the great tomb, the old man only gave a brief description without mentioning the truth or secrets within.
That sounds like nothing more than scratching an itch!
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
In the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, 'secrets' and 'mysteries' are the most valuable things, so they wouldn't be casually told to newbies in such a basic class.
Seems like I'll have to think of another way to obtain information as soon as possible.
I've already become a Wind Listener, specialized in finding out secrets and mysteries, so I might be able to put some effort into this.
He pondered for a bit, then slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
It's almost noon, so I need to go back and rest, since I still have classes in the afternoon.
As soon as he reached the classroom door, he was blocked by a group of people.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him.
The rascally looking young man from this morning, as well as a few guys covered in tattoos, surrounded Gu Qing Shan.
"What are you guys doing?" Gu Qing Shan asked with a smile.
Could it be that this group of teenagers wanted to bully a newcomer?
Then …
Gu Qing Shan clenched her fists.
The group of youths winked at each other, but they didn't make a move. Instead, they exchanged looks.
"Hello, Brother Shan!"
They shouted in unison.
"Oh my, Brother Shan, we finally have a Boss after you came," the rascally young man said.
A young man with a ferocious expression replied: "That's right, our School of Shan Hai's most vicious bigshot is Li Chun Dao, as well as the most enchanting female Bone Master Li Qiu Yu, both of them are renowned across the world, who would've thought that you're their younger brother!"
All the teenagers said in unison, "Please be our Boss, Brother Shan!"
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
So it wasn't a fight …
"Be your Boss" he repeated.
"That's right, with Brother Shan's arrival, our reputation will be much better, we'll all welcome Brother Shan at noon today!" another young man said.
"Please do us the honor, Brother Shan!"
"Please do us the honor, Brother Shan!"
Gu Qing Shan scratched his head and smiled appropriately.
He didn't mind interacting with people of the same age as him, as that would make him appear more normal. Not to mention, it was only a meal.
"That's not a good idea, I've made you spend a lot of money" he said.
Another young man replied: "It's fine, we still got quite a bit of money from those cowards last time, don't worry, Brother Shan"
Everyone laughed.
Gu Qing Shan's smile slowly faded.
"You got money? How did you get it? "he asked.
The rascally young man replied: "We protected them, so they gave us their money to show their gratitude"
"After all, we're stronger than them!" another young man loudly shouted.
"That's right, powerful people naturally deserve a certain level of privilege"
"For example, someone like Brother Shan should naturally be the boss of our Study Lodge"
The young men all spoke at once, full of vigor.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"I'm sorry, but if you're capable, go and earn your own money, I'll probably accept your treat"
"If it's that kind of money, I won't go"
He reached his hand out, lightly pushed the people in front of him away, and headed outside.
Silence.
The young men exchanged glances.
What does that mean?
Suddenly, someone complained: "Who would've thought Li Chun Dao's younger brother would be such a good student, looking down on us"
Gu Qing Shan stopped.
"I do look down on you"
He looked at the young men and sincerely said: "Great power isn't used to bully the weak, because bullying the weak is very easy — — - so easy that it creates a false sense of power. But because of that, there's a special title for doing this — — - thugs. Before giving yourself this title, I hope you've made a serious choice"
"A person who can be called strong should face true challenges, such as — — -"
"Giving up on everything else and focusing on honing your skills, walking the world and challenging peerless Combatants, all for the sake of surpassing everyone else, standing at the true peak to look down on all living beings"
"Or to triumph against the Apocalypse that brings despair to all living beings, swearing to protect those who are worth sacrificing their lives for"
"This is the life of a Combatant who is worthy of their title"
"All of you, I hope you'll use your own money to treat me in the future"
"That way, I'll probably accept you calling me 'Brother Shan'"
He waved his hand and disappeared from the classroom.
The young men were completely silent.
"He … doesn't allow us to call him 'Brother Shan' right now?" one of the young men asked in confusion.
At the same time.
A secret room.
Several big shots were drinking tea, silently listening to Gu Qing Shan's words.
"Tsk tsk, at such an impulsive age, he doesn't rely on the two of you to bully others"
The silver-haired old man praised him a few times.
"What a fine young man, even I'm a bit tempted, how about putting him into my Exorcist team" Li Chun Dao said.
"Don't even think about it, it's already been decided that you'll be a Wind Listener, this was decided by the sect master" the long-bearded white-clothed man replied.
Li Chun Dao cracked his neck a bit, then silently placed a Blade on the table.
The white-clothed man narrowed his eyes: "You want to fight? My [Palm of Annihilation] can't be used on my own people, so I won't fight you. If you're so good, go ask your younger sister if she'll let him go or not "
Li Chun Dao looked at his younger sister, already prepared to have a big argument.
But this time, his younger sister was surprisingly calm and lightly said: "Bro, don't make a fuss, I'm currently his guardian, I can take good care of him in the Wind Listeners, you're so busy every day, where would you find the time to take care of him?"
Li Chun Dao scowled and said nothing.
A few moments later.
He took a sip of tea, then sighed: "Fine, there's another place I need to put out the fire, I'll be going first"
He put away the long saber on the table and disappeared in a flash.
A female voice called out.
"From the situation just now, I can rest assured about this child, I'll leave him to you from now on, Qiu Yu, please take care of him"
"Yes, sect master"
…
Gu Qing Shan returned to his living quarters.
Opening the door, he saw Li Qiu Yu sitting on the edge of the balcony, staring blankly at the city outside.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then walked up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was only joking this morning, please don't take it to heart"
Li Qiu Yu turned around and glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, you only came back when I was starving to death"
The atmosphere suddenly eased up.
Gu Qing Shan felt relieved and rolled up his sleeves: "Breakfast was a bit simple, lunch should be a bit more extravagant, don't worry, it'll be ready very soon"
He turned around and went to the kitchen.
— – Gu Qing Shan's cooking skills naturally didn't need to be mentioned, even Qin Xiaolou, a master of the 6 arts, was grinning from ear to ear, let alone Li Qiu Yu.
After the meal.
Li Qiu Yu didn't say anything else about marrying or not, she simply took out a piece of bone and put it on the table.
"What is this?" Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
"This is the secret School of Shan Hai's Origin Scripture, it can help you quickly activate the second spirit link"
Seeing Gu Qing Shan's confused expression, Li Qiu Yu patiently explained: "The first spirit link is to perform the spirit link with the origin of the inheritance. Occasionally, you'll run into incomprehensible and indescribable existences that might even lead to the Apocalypse, do you understand this?"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Li Qiu Yu continued: "The second spirit link won't be as dangerous, it's to stimulate your senses and help you communicate with the inheritance you've obtained to further improve your abilities"
"Ah, I understand, it's to help me quickly develop my inheritance" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Yes, that's it"
Li Qiu Yu pointed at the piece of bone and said: "As soon as you touch this unique piece of bone, you'll be forced to activate the second spirit link and obtain a new fist technique — — or perhaps some other ability. In short, no one knows what you've obtained, so I don't know what you'll obtain either"
She took out her fan, lightly waved it, and sincerely said: "Begin, with me protecting you, you don't have to worry"
Gu Qing Shan then picked up the unique piece of bone and held it in his hand.
"I'm guessing it'll still be a fist technique"
He smiled and said, but his voice suddenly stopped.
Hoh — — -
He felt a powerful force coming from the bone shard and pushing him into the ground.
The countless underground caves of the School of Shan Hai, as well as the people inside, quickly retreated from both sides of him.
He continued to fall, and fall.
Straight down — —
Gu Qing Shan had already realized that he was currently only a soul, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to travel so deep underground.
But isn't this spirit link item supposed to activate the inheritance?
Where is it taking me?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, he suddenly noticed that he was no longer falling.
A hurried voice abruptly resounded in his ears:
"Save me! Hurry! "
