"So, the Zhao family really wants to accept this marriage, tsk tsk, there are so many geniuses who have proposed marriage to the Zhao family these years, the Zhao family is really willing to marry the proud girl of heaven to an ordinary person?"

"This is not an ordinary person, I heard that he has awakened the ability of strange magic."

"What's the use of awakening now? I'm afraid he will not be able to awaken for the second time after practicing for a lifetime. The Zhao family has already awakened for the fifth time..."

"What, she is nothing but, she has awakened five times, this talent is so terrifying..."

……

These voices reached Lin Xiu's ears, making him a little dazed.

Could it be that in the past three days, Zhao Lingyin didn't come to look for him, but was running around to send him to the School of Different Arts?

Among them, there is even the meaning of the Zhao family?

This made Lin Xiu a little confused.

One is the proud daughter of the heavens, and the other is a good-for-nothing who has just awakened to strange arts. According to the normal script, it should not be a drama of retiring from the marriage. The self-esteem of the young man is humiliated. After the return of the king, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor...

All the novels that Lin Xiu had read were written in this way.

But the script he got didn't seem to be like this.

If the Zhao family wants to divorce, there's no need to treat him so well, or do they want to give Lin Xiu a favor so that he can give up the engagement?

Lin Xiu hopes so.

For one thing, he didn't want to get married, let alone a woman who didn't have any emotional foundation. No matter how talented or beautiful she was, Lin Xiu was not such a superficial person.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Lin Xiu, a beautiful girl, has seen a lot, and he has already passed the stage of judging people by their appearance.

Fair skin, beautiful breasts, big buttocks are good, but the most important thing for a girl is her soul.

The second reason is that the marriage contract is a kind of bondage to Lin Xiu.

As long as the marriage contract is still there, he is Zhao Lingyin's future brother-in-law in name. With this relationship, if Lin Xiu dares to gallop, Zhao Lingyin will definitely break his horse's legs.

I hope that the Zhao family thinks the same as him on this matter.

While Lin Xiu was thinking wildly, Zhao Lingyin came out of the small building and said to Lin Xiu, "Come in."

Lin Xiu walked into the small building and saw an old man in white robe standing in the middle of the hall, Zhao Lingyin said: "This is the dean."

Lin Xiu cupped his hands to the old man and said, "I've seen Mr. Dean."

His attitude was very respectful. Although Lin Xiu didn't want the marriage contract, he was very eager to enter the Academy of Different Arts. Only here could his abilities be brought into full play.

The old man in white robe stared at Lin Xiu, and asked lightly: "Listen to Lingyin, have you awakened the ability of strange magic?"

Lin Xiu knew that this was his chance, so she took the initiative to stretch out her hand, and soon a layer of frost formed on her palm.

The old man looked at Lin Xiu, with regret in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's the same as Lingyin, what a pity, what a pity..."

Zhao Lingyin said quickly: "Dean, you promised me!"

The old man sighed, and said: "Of course I won't go back on what I promised you, the old man is just a pity, if he can wake up ten years earlier, it is very likely that Daxia will have another powerful person to suppress the country in the future..."

He looked at Lin Xiu again with regretful eyes, and said to Zhao Lingyin: "The matter of his admission to the hospital has been arranged by the old man, but there are only two of you in the hospital who possess the magic of ice. you……"

Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, "Thank you Dean, I will teach him well."

Zhao Lingyin, who had been walking in front of Lin Xiu after stepping out of the gate of the School of Altered Arts, suddenly stopped.

Lin Xiu knew that she should get to the point.

This matter should be a deal between the Zhao family and him, in exchange for Lin Xiu's voluntary termination of the engagement by sending Lin Xiu to the Department of Anomaly. Don't blame them, and even feel a little grateful.

He was already mentally prepared to ride the horse, but Zhao Lingyin said: "I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you. The Zhao family has made a promise. No matter what happens, that marriage contract will not change."

Lin Xiu froze in place.

This is not right!

It shouldn't be like this!

The Zhao family is a new wealthy family in the royal capital, and with the help of the proud daughter of heaven, they will definitely be able to make further progress by marrying other wealthy families.

This marriage contract is a stumbling block for them.

How could that young lady of the Zhao family marry a descendant of a down-and-out rich man with no future? Would the Zhao family be willing?

Lin Xiu is worthless for them!

At this time, Zhao Lingyin continued: "Although your awakening of the strange art is a bit late, it may not be impossible to make some achievements. I hope you will practice diligently in the future and not be looked down upon by others."

After finishing speaking, she simply turned and left.

Lin Xiu stood where she was, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.

He can deeply feel that this future sister-in-law is really thinking about him. How many years has he not experienced this feeling of being cared for?

Standing at the gate of the Different Arts Academy, Lin Xiu felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He quickly raised his head and said loudly to the figure, "Thank you!"

Zhao Lingyin didn't turn her head, but waved her hands backwards, leaving Lin Xiu with a chic back.

Chapter 6 The Road to Advancement

At the beginning, Lin Xiu hated and feared Zhao Lingyin in her heart.

I hated her because she ruined a good thing and was beaten severely, and I was afraid that it was because she couldn't beat her.

After what happened today, Lin Xiu's perception of her changed.

Although she was a little more lenient and ruthless, she really regarded Lin Xiu as one of her own. Including her parents in her previous life, no one had ever treated him so well.

Lin Xiu is not a person who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. He has read countless women and can tell who is sincere and who is hypocritical.

The former is Zhao Lingyin, and the latter is Sun Dali.

As a guard, when the person he was protecting was in danger, he always slipped away first, without any hesitation, Lin Xiu was already considering whether to change the guard.

After returning to the mansion, not long after, someone from the School of Different Arts came to the door and brought some things to Lin Xiu.

Ten taels of silver, a waist card, a suit of clothes, and a thin booklet.

The money is used for monthly consumption. Some students' families are not good. Even in the capital, ten taels of silver a month is enough for them to live well. This money is received at the School of Different Arts at the beginning of each month.

The waist card is the hospital card of the School of Different Arts, and it is also the token of entering the palace.

The location of the Abnormal Arts Academy is within the imperial city. The Great Xia Imperial City is mainly divided into three parts, the front palace, the middle palace and the rear palace.

Among them, the harem is the residence of the emperor's concubines and underage princesses, and the middle palace is the place where court meetings are held and where the emperor handles government affairs. The middle palace and the harem are the real imperial palaces.

As for the front palace, it is the official office of some core departments in the court. After the court meeting, officials can return directly to their own office from the central palace.

Including the Abnormal Arts Academy, the location of the three courtyards of the capital is also in the front palace.

This was deliberately done by the royal family. If someone wants to capture the imperial palace, they must first break through the defense line of the front palace. However, there are countless experts from the School of Different Arts and the Martial Arts Academy, and it is as difficult as going to heaven to break through the front palace.

Because of this, to enter the Academy of Different Arts, one must enter the imperial city, and this badge is the token of entering the palace.

That booklet was the school rules of the School of Different Arts, Lin Xiu looked through it, and it was nothing more than prohibiting students from fighting each other, fighting fiercely, molesting female classmates and so on.

These are all fine, the only thing that needs special attention is that you can't walk around in the imperial palace at will, and the various departments are fine, trespassing in the middle palace and harem is not a small crime.

Lin Xiu wrote down these, and after changing into the courtyard uniform, she couldn't wait to leave the house.

Sun Dali followed Lin Xiu step by step, without knowing it, he thought he was really a competent guard.

Putting on the courtyard uniform and holding the waist badge, Lin Xiu smoothly entered the imperial city and arrived at the School of Different Arts.

Inside the Academy of Abnormal Arts, it is further divided into four courtyards, namely the Huangzi Academy, Xuanzi Academy, Dizi Academy and Tianzi Academy, which are divided according to the talents and potentials of the students in different arts.

The highest level is Tianziyuan, and Zhao Lingyin is in Tianziyuan.

This is because her ability to awaken is very strong, and the time of awakening is early, and her future prospects are limitless.

Lin Xiu showed the same ability as hers, but he could only be in the Yellow Character Academy, because his ability was awakened too late, and there was no value in cultivating it. If he hadn't gone through the back door, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Academy of Different Arts.

The students of Tianzi Academy can enjoy many resources. Each of them has several teachers to teach them. The students of Huangzi Academy rely more on themselves. Most of the time, they practice by themselves. If there is a problem, I will ask the teacher.

Lin Xiu was already very satisfied with this, and when he came to the Academy of Different Arts, he went straight to the Library Pavilion.

The Zangshu Pavilion of the Abnormal Arts Academy is open to all students, and Lin Xiu is eager to learn more about the Abnormal Arts.

It was still a holiday, and there were not many people in Zangshu Pavilion. In a remote corner, Lin Xiu was concentrating on turning the pages of the book slowly.

According to the book, since the time when human civilization was recorded, the ancient ancestors discovered the existence of strange arts. At first, they only used this ability bestowed by God to hunt. Later, as history progressed, human civilization gradually developed. People's understanding of different arts is getting deeper and deeper. Up to now, a complete system has been formed together with different arts.

According to the power of different arts, they divided them into four grades, from high to low, namely Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

The most powerful abilities are divided into heaven ranks, such as freezing, fire control, lightning induction, etc.

Those who are weaker than these abilities are classified as lower ranks, such as strength, speed, body hardening, etc.

No matter how weak the ability is, it will be reduced to Xuan rank and Huang rank.

According to this division method, the three abilities that Lin Xiu possesses are the heaven-level magic of ice, the earth-level power of magic, and the ability to understand animal language, which should only be regarded as yellow-level abilities.

Lin Xiu probably understands that those sky-level abilities can cause large-scale AOE damage. A strong man with sky-level abilities can be worth an army by himself, just like a god.

And those who exert their personal abilities to the limit, such as extreme strength, extreme speed, extreme physical strength, etc., still have good combat power, but they are much inferior to heaven-level abilities.

As for the mysterious level abilities, such as healing, passing through walls, invisibility, flying, etc., it is difficult to use them in combat and can only play a supporting role.

The weakest yellow-level ability doesn't even have auxiliary functions, such as being able to understand animals' words, and being able to control the growth of one's own hair, etc. Generally, it is not paid much attention to, and the School of Abnormal Arts will not recruit it at all.

Of course, one does not have the power of the heavens without having the abilities of the heavens.

For example, Lin Xiu, although he has the ability of the sky, but it can only be used to relieve the heat for himself, it can be said that the body of a god is comparable to ordinary people.

In the Academy of Abnormal Arts, there are many people like him who have high-level abilities, but only practice to the basic stage, and can only dawdle in the Yellow Character Academy.

The book records all the magical abilities that people have discovered so far, but there is no mention of an ability that can copy other people's abilities. Lin Xiu searched the entire book, but could not find a similar description.

Lin Xiu decided to bury this secret in her heart. If others found out, it would probably bring him countless troubles.

Lin Xiu flipped through a few more books, and finally found what he was looking for.

The practice method of different arts.

Just like a game, he just awakened his abilities, and he was just a rookie at the first level, with very low skill damage. As the level increases, the skill damage will gradually increase, and at the same time, he can unlock more skills until he reaches the full level.

Although different skills cannot be upgraded, they can be continuously awakened.

The first awakening is a process from scratch, and every time after that, the strength will be significantly improved, but not all abilities can be awakened forever.

Freezing, controlling fire, controlling thunder, the reason why they are heaven-level abilities is not only because of their powerful power, but also a more important reason is that in the recorded history, there have been strong people who possessed this kind of strange ability. Those who have awakened more than seven times.

Only when a certain ability has been awakened more than seven times, is this ability eligible to be listed as a heavenly rank.

If all the people with the ability to freeze supernatural powers in history have not awakened for the second time, then this kind of supernatural powers can only be ranked at the bottom of the yellow rank.

Similarly, if someone can awaken the supernatural power seven times, then from the moment of his seventh awakening, the supernatural power will also enter the ranks of heaven.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiu closed the book, rubbed her sore eyes, and exhaled lightly.

The Academy of Altered Arts is indeed a good place. It is difficult for him to obtain this information directly in other places.

Soon, Lin Xiu stood up and came to another row of bookshelves.

Those just now are just the basic knowledge about different arts. What is more important to him is the advanced path of different arts. What should he do to awaken for the second time?

There are countless books in the School of Abnormal Arts, and there are special records in books about how to practice and how to awaken each of the different arts.

These are the precious experiences left by the predecessors, and the results collected by the Academy of Abnormal Arts from generation to generation can only be seen in the library of the Academy of Abnormal Arts.

Where Lin Xiu is located, there are four rows of bookshelves arranged in order. On the bookshelves, the four characters "Heaven", "Earth", "Xuan", and "Yellow" are respectively engraved.

These four bookshelves correspond to different levels of different arts.

Lin Xiu planned to start with Huang Jie. He glanced over and saw the word "beast language" inadvertently, and then pulled out a thin booklet.

What is recorded in this book is exactly the kind of strange power that Haitang possesses.

The records in the book are extremely detailed. First, it gives a preliminary introduction to this kind of strange art, and then according to the time, it introduces the lives of people who once possessed this kind of strange art in history, as well as some anecdotes and anecdotes. a feeling of.

To Lin Xiu's surprise, being able to understand the language of beasts is not all of this kind of strange magic. It is recorded in the book that the person who awakened this magic for the first time can understand the language of beasts. The second awakening of the strange art will allow you to communicate with beasts. At that time, people with this kind of strange art will not only be able to understand the words of beasts, but also communicate with them...

However, this is also the full ability of this kind of strange art. According to historical records, all people who have ever possessed this kind of strange art have awakened their abilities at most twice. No wonder it is classified as the yellow rank, barely classified as the top grade of the yellow rank.

And that kind of ability that can only be awakened once is naturally a low-rank Huang rank.

The Academy of Abnormal Arts is worthy of being an Academy of Abnormal Arts. Even this kind of strange art has such detailed records. However, this book does not record the advanced method of this strange art, or this method has not been handed down , or there is no rule to follow in the advancement of this kind of strange art.

Lin Xiu didn't take it to heart, and went to the bookshelf of the earth-level magic, and found the book that recorded the magic of power.
