The next day, "Leaf Pattern Theory" class.
"The history of the leaf pattern is too ancient. It is impossible to know when it appeared, but our researchers found some clues from ancient books." On the podium, a tall female teacher pushed up her glasses and continued.
"A thousand and eight years ago, although leaf patterns existed, their number was extremely rare, only one-tenth of what it is now, and the danger level was basically below A level. Until the God Realm opened a passage to the earth, When all life was in ruins, the number of leaf patterns suddenly increased sharply, and ability users with high-risk leaf patterns sprung up one after another, becoming the main force against the God Realm."
"What are your speculations about this?" The female teacher showed a sophisticated look and waited for the students' answers.
"It feels like...a biological protection mechanism?" Wang Ruoyi said timidly when no one answered for a long time.
The female teacher's eyes lit up with admiration, "Continue talking."
Wang Ruoyi organized her words and said slowly: "When an organism is invaded by an external virus, it will trigger its self-protection mechanism and produce a large number of white blood cells to fight the virus. I...I feel very similar to this."
"Yes." The female teacher nodded, "It is recorded in ancient books that the world we live in has a core, which is like a control room. It controls all the rules and order of the world. Legend has it that the shape is a lesson that connects chaos and reality. The giant tree is called the World Tree."
"All the leaf patterns come from this World Tree. Our researchers speculate that the reason why the God Realm launched an attack on the earth is also directed at this World Tree."
"The leaf pattern is essentially the power that controls the rules of the world. It has the same function as the World Tree. When the World Tree senses the threat from the divine realm, it immediately releases a large number of leaf patterns and uses human power to fight against the divine realm. This is what caused the current situation. The reason for this situation."
World Tree... Ji Qianming didn't react much. After all, his worldview collapsed when he came to Gouchen College.
"Teacher, why doesn't World Tree throw out all the leaf patterns at once? Why do the leaf patterns sleep?"
An international friend suddenly raised his hand and asked curiously.
"That's a good question." The female teacher nodded lightly, "We speculate that the leaf patterns are part of the World Tree. It can release part of the leaf patterns to humans, but if all the leaf patterns are discarded, it will also be severely damaged. Therefore, after the death of a leaf pattern host, the leaf pattern will return to the World Tree on its own to feed the World Tree. Until the World Tree no longer needs its power, it will be released into the human world, and so on."
Ji Qianming was thoughtful and gently wrote a word on the table with one finger.
leaf.
The prefix is grass, with the world in the middle and the wood of trees below.
Isn't this the World Tree! It turned out that everything was displayed in front of him, but he didn't notice it.
"So, Ye Wen is not a force that allows people to satisfy their selfish desires and bully the weak, but..."
"It's for protection." Ji Qianming said involuntarily. His thoughts returned to the scene of talking with Fatty Cui on the train, and he felt that many confusions at that time were suddenly clear.
The female teacher glanced at Ji Qianming and showed an appreciative smile, "Yes, the meaning of Yewen's existence is to protect, protect the World Tree, protect mankind, and protect everyone around him."
Natalia looked at Ji Qianming, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyes sparkled.
…
Afternoon, practical class!
The eighteen freshmen were divided into groups in threes and threes. The short-haired instructor's eyes passed over each group, and he paused for a long time when he fell on Ji Qianming's group. There was a subtle smile on his cold face.
"Now that you are divided into groups, I will register the numbers for you in order. The people next to you now are your comrades! Your companions! They are people who can give their back to each other without reservation! From now on, even if Mountains of swords and seas of fire, ten deaths and no life, you all have to face it together, do you hear me!"
The instructor's angry voice came, and all the groups below responded loudly. Only Zhang Fan and Hanyuhara looked at each other and snorted in unison.
Ji Qianming:...
Instructor, is it too late for me to change groups now QAQ?
"Next, in order to make your cooperation more tacit, be sure to be familiar with every ability of your teammates. The three people in the same group will find separate places to communicate. No matter how they are used, disband!"
As soon as Instructor Cuntou finished speaking, Ji Qianming felt two surging fighting intentions gushing out from both sides of him. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and silently took a few steps back.
"Zhang Fanjun, please." Hanyuhara put his hand on the long knife with a smile, his whole body's center of gravity sank, and the yellow feather fabric fluttered in the wind.
Zhang Fan turned his head expressionlessly, and a ball of golden light burst out from his left eye. Swords, guns, swords and halberds flew from the cold weapon walls on both sides, hovering around him.
"Just what I wanted."
Other students were also attracted by this formation and gathered around to watch. The short-haired instructor raised his eyebrows but did not stop him. After all, he said "no matter what way".
Besides, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Zhang Fan's eyes condensed, and a spear trembled slightly, piercing Hanyuhara like lightning, making a whistling sound through the air.
"Jing Xin Mingzhiliu, [Contract Slash]!"
Hanyuhara maintained his sword-drawing posture until the cold light of the spear was only half a meter away from his eyes. He moved to the right in a strange posture, missing the front end of the spear.
bass!
A sharp blade was seen passing through the middle of the spear, and the spear snapped in the middle, leaving a smooth cut as a mirror.
Zhang Fan moved his fingers slightly, and the tip of the spear turned sharply in the air, stabbing Hanyuhara from the back while maintaining the sword-wielding posture.
"Hmph." A chill hit Hanyuhara's back, and he hummed softly. He swiped the scabbard held in his left hand backwards, directly knocking away the spear tip and sinking it deeply into the ground.
"Go!" Zhang Fan shouted lightly, and several weapons in front of him shot at Hanyuhara like sharp arrows, blocking all his ways.
Han Yuhara's expression remained unchanged, and he was about to swing his sword when he felt the long sword in his hand shake slightly, and he actually tried to let go.
"Controlled my sword?" Hanyuhara frowned slightly, holding the handle of the sword tightly with his right hand to prevent it from flying out, but even so, he might not be able to continue using his sword skills.
Several students around him began to whisper, Hanyuhara's abilities were all in this sword, and now that he was restricted by Zhang Fan, his chances of winning were probably slim.
Several weapons were in front of him in the blink of an eye. He decisively let go of the long knife in his hand and rushed towards the weapons.
