#171 - Chapter 171 Sorry, I never scold my friends
If he were asked any further, he really wouldn't know how to make things up.
Li Bai chuckled and said, "You're an adult now, what's wrong with dating? What's there to be shy about? Try the Chaotic Force Ring!"
Li Chenqiu pursed his lips and put the Chaotic Force Ring on his wrist.
"Dean Li, the ability of this Chaotic Force Ring…"
Just as Li Chenqiu was about to say something, his left shoulder suddenly dropped, slamming towards the ground without warning.
At the critical moment, Li Chenqiu supported himself with one hand, stabilizing his body when his face was only a few centimeters from the ground.
"This…" Li Chenqiu frowned slightly.
He could clearly feel a force that didn't belong to him surging into his left shoulder, disrupting his body's balance.
Li Chenqiu reached out and rubbed his shoulder, slowly straightening his supporting elbow.
But before he could fully straighten up, that force suddenly darted to his right shoulder like a spasm.
Caught off guard, Li Chenqiu's right shoulder slammed onto the ground with a "thump."
Li Bai stroked his sparse white beard, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"When you wear the Chaotic Force Ring on your left wrist, an opposing force to your will will appear in your body. This force is lively and will run around your body, just like now.
When worn on the right wrist, this force will return to the Chaotic Force Ring. At this time, if you come into contact with someone, this force will rush into the other person's body and cause trouble. As long as you don't take off the Chaotic Force Ring, this force will remain in the other person's body."
Li Chenqiu struggled to take off the ring, rubbed his sore shoulder, and slowly sat up.
"The ability of this Chaotic Force Ring feels rather useless!" Li Chenqiu sighed.
"It's not useless. This force can help you better understand your body, streamline your movements, discard those redundant and useless things, and integrate your scattered body into a whole.
When this force can no longer affect you, it means that you have thoroughly understood your body and reached a state where every move is perfect."
Li Bai explained carefully.
After hearing these words, Li Chenqiu asked curiously, "Like your state during the arm wrestling match earlier?"
"Yes, it took me many, many years to reach this state. Your talent is much better than mine was. Perhaps it will only take a few years."
Li Bai said as he patted the dust off his body, supporting his knees as he slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Li Chenqiu hurriedly got up: "Dean Li, what are you going to do?"
Li Bai squinted his eyes and looked outside the shed: "I have to leave."
Li Chenqiu asked in surprise, "Leave? Aren't you going with us?"
"I was just passing by, I'm not going the same way as you. Goodbye." Li Bai waved his hand with a kind expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of breeze brushed through Li Chenqiu's hair, and Li Bai disappeared stiffly on the spot, without any transition, not even an afterimage.
"Is this the strength of a top-tier Mortal Fate cultivator?"
Li Chenqiu murmured to himself, a hint of imperceptible envy hidden beneath his deep eyes.
...
...
Under the azure sky, the truck filled with students sped through the fluffy white clouds.
Li Chenqiu sat near the exit of the truck, looking down at the vast earth.
"Strange, aren't we going to the assessment? Why are we running around in the no-man's land?" Xiang Nanzhi tilted her head, looking puzzled.
Zhou Qinshu next to her also said in confusion: "Yeah, aren't we going to City 100? This direction is wrong. Did the teachers make a mistake?"
"How could they make a mistake? Do you think the teachers are all idiots?" Ma Qingshan looked at Zhou Qinshu speechlessly.
Li Chenqiu, remembering the information Li Shu had revealed to him earlier, asked, "Are there prisons in the no-man's land?"
Xiang Nanzhi raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong? Did you commit a crime and want to turn yourself in?"
"Can't I just ask out of curiosity?" Li Chenqiu said rather speechlessly.
Xiang Nanzhi nodded: "There are prisons."
A trace of surprise flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes: "There really are prisons?"
"Yeah." Xiang Nanzhi looked into the distance: "In the Tianyuan Federation, ordinary people commit crimes, and so do Fate Holders. But compared to ordinary people, Fate Holders are much harder to control.
Letting them serve their sentences in the city is too risky. If they were to escape and retaliate against society, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, the Federation established prisons in the no-man's land to supervise those Fate Holders who have committed crimes."
"Eh?" Ma Qingshan seemed to have thought of something, straightening his back: "Could our assessment be related to prisons? I remember that the admission assessment for a certain class of the Star Plucking Academy was related to Fate Holder prisons."
"But we haven't committed any crimes, why would we go to prison?" Hua Qiu looked at Ma Qingshan seriously.
Ma Qingshan ( ¯(∞)¯ )
...
Time slowly passed, and as the sun began to set, the truck gradually slowed down and began to approach the ground.
Li Chenqiu looked down and saw a road covered in sand. If it weren't for the signs on both sides of the road and the fact that some of the asphalt pavement hadn't been completely covered, he could barely make it out.
Probably no one would recognize this as a road.
After seeing this scene, Zhou Qinshu stood up in horror: "Damn it, are we really going to prison!"
Li Chenqiu crossed his legs: "How do you know we're going to prison?"
"Roads in the no-man's land usually lead directly to prisons. I'm done for. With my delicate skin and tender flesh, I won't be targeted by others in prison, will I!"
Zhou Qinshu clutched his face with both hands, looking like he had lost his soul.
Hearing this, the others in the truck also rushed to the exit.
"Prison? How could the admission assessment be related to prison?"
"I heard that these Fate Holder prisons are very chaotic, people die every day, and the warden doesn't care at all!"
"Then… then if we go in, wouldn't our lives be in danger?"
"No way, the admission assessment shouldn't make us risk our lives, right?!"
"Hehehe, I'm~going~to~pri~son~, but~I'm~not~afraid~"
"I wonder if the people inside are easy to get along with. Will they like arm wrestling?"
Xiang Nanzhi nudged Li Chenqiu with her elbow in a sly manner: "A pretty boy like you is very popular in prison. If you get taken care of by some big guy or madam, remember to help your brother out."
"Yeah, definitely." Li Chenqiu replied perfunctorily.
Xiang Nanzhi's face instantly fell: "What do you mean? Are you being perfunctory with me, giving me the silent treatment?"
Li Chenqiu put on an exaggerated expression: "How could I? How could I be perfunctory with you? You're my best friend!"
Xiang Nanzhi: ( ̄。。 ̄)
"You're scolding me, I'm going to scold you back!" Xiang Nanzhi pointed her finger at Li Chenqiu's nose.
Li Chenqiu showed a friendly smile: "Harsh words wound in June's heat. Sorry, I never scold friends."
After speaking, he grabbed the truck's baffle with one hand, jumped out of the truck, and fell towards the ground from a hundred meters in the air.
