Broken Night

Chapter 9 - Two Ways

"I believe you have also heard a little from your parents about the significance of the existence of the Basic Academy."

"This is the world of tattoos."

"In the world of tattoos, you need to follow the rules of tattooing. No one here teaches you mathematics, language, history, etc. What you need to know is basic tattooing. When you are qualified to practice tattoos, you can Qualified to go to high school, and even major forces and sects to study.”

"So before that, you only need one thing - tattooing. Start practicing tattooing at the age of ten, and strive to successfully cultivate to the first palace before the age of twelve. In this way, you are eligible to join the sect. Or power, continue to learn the pattern."

Hearing Zuo Chengzhe's words, the six-year-old children below showed excitement on their faces, as if they had seen the future recruited by major forces and academies. However, Xu Yan had a thoughtful look on his face.

In this world, cultivators are more regulated than the world they once lived in.

And it is divided into two classes.

Retouchers, or ordinary people.

And ordinary people are destined to work for tattooed people.

In other words, ordinary people...have no place in this world.

This kind of feeling of the weak and the strong, they are used to it one by one. Am I the only one who feels this is wrong?

...

"Okay, let's start our first class right away."

Zuo Chengzhe took the white chalk and wrote a large "pattern" on the blackboard.

Then he drew a line diagonally to the left and right from below the pattern.

He turned around and looked at all the students: "Can anyone tell me that there are two different routes for the practice of tattooing?"

"I know!" Chen Aotian stood up, holding his hands high.

Xu Yan felt a little unsightly... he really is a fart... very typical... um...

Zuo Chengzhe coughed: "Chen Aotian, sit down. If you want to answer, I will naturally let you answer." But he looked around, but only one student, Chen Aotian, raised his hand, and finally he could only say: "Chen Aotian, come here. answer."

"The tattoo artist and the tattoo artist!"

"Yes." Zuo Chengzhe nodded, and then wrote the tattoo artist and the tattoo artist on the two lines on the blackboard.

"Can anyone tell me the difference between the two?"

A hand brushed up.

It's Chen Aotian again.

Zuo Chengzhe was helpless.

After all, Chengyun College is not a first-class college. Many of the students who come to study here are mediocre students, who are extremely knowledgeable or only literate. But for the pattern, most of them are black with both eyes.

"Chen Aotian, you answer."

"The tattoo artist uses the body into the tattoo, and the tattoo artist's tattoo strength is the tattoo."

Zuo Chengzhe nodded: "This is a very standard book answer."

"However, this is still not clear enough for the students who don't know the pattern very well, so let me explain."

"Yes teacher." Chen Aotian sat down and looked at the students around him with pride, as if saying "I'm different from you". But when he looked at Xu Yan, he realized that Xu Yan was only looking at the blackboard, not looking at him at all.

...

"Those who have tattoos are tattooed on their bodies. To put it simply, they use the so-called six palaces. They are the palace of the left hand, the palace of the right hand, the palace of the left foot, the palace of the right foot, the palace of qi and the palace of the heart. Store the strength of the pattern. When the strength of the pattern reaches the limit, the pattern will be engraved by the tattoo artist and turned into strength.”

"As for the tattoo artist, it is much simpler. The tattoo artist only modifies the power of the tattoo. Although the tattoo is carved on the body, it is only to step into the realm of the first palace, and even most of the tattoos that are entered will choose to increase the strength of the tattoo.

"They simply practice the power of the lines, and use the power of the lines to build the lines outside the body and turn them into strength. The entry requirements for tattoo artists are extremely strict, especially the need for the Qi Palace. Because the Qi Palace can store the most power of the lines. One Palace."

"And most importantly, the tattoo artist is in charge of carving."

"The tattoo artist and the tattoo artist are like companions. Without the tattoo artist, the tattoo artist can only be stronger than ordinary people even if they practice tattooing, but they cannot obtain various kinds of tattoos through tattooing like the current tattoo artist. Magical power; on the contrary, the tattoo artist does not have the tattoo artist, because the speed of constructing the tattoo is too slow, even if an ordinary person is under a sneak attack, it is possible to succeed in assassination.”

"If we say that tattooists are those who seek one out of a hundred and one in a thousand. Then the tattoo artist is one who seeks one out of ten thousand. Because in order to become a tattoo artist, in addition to the talent for practicing tattoo power, one also needs to possess Only a strong spirit can succeed.”

"These are the two mainstream schools in the world of tattoos. And these two schools are the goals you will pursue in the next six years. Either you become a tattoo artist, or you become a tattoo artist. Or, you are destined to only be I can be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.”

Zuo Chengzhe glanced around and said, "Do you understand?"

"clear!"

...

Xu Yan walked slowly towards the academy dining hall, Zuo Chengzhe's voice seemed to echo in his ears.

This is really a world of the weak.

If you don't succeed, you'll have a life of mediocrity.

tattoo?

Seems to be an interesting thing.

According to his knowledge in the past life, the tattoo artist is a magician, and the tattoo artist is a warrior, but the relationship between the two is more inseparable.

For magic, he once thought about practicing. But in this world, all the magic spells of Canghuang Continent were invalid, perhaps because there were two worlds and two languages. And the original magic spell is also an old saying.

So Xu Yan could only follow the path of this world obediently.

If you want to have the ability to protect yourself, unlike being slaughtered in the past without any resistance, you can only become a tattoo artist or tattoo artist.

He came to the dining room and looked at the menu.

The funny thing is that the dining hall also divides meals into three classes.

The third-class meal was the 2 taels of silver that Xu Yan ate yesterday.

Second-class meal, 10 taels of silver.

First-class meal, twenty taels of silver.

Xu Yan looked at the menu in front of him speechlessly. With his current pocket money, a first-class meal would be enough to eat up all his meals for the whole week. In the end, he could only succumb to ordering a third-class meal, which he ate like chewing wax, and then returned to the shift room again.

The afternoon class is a physical exercise class.

A group of six-year-old children stood in the square of the academy like ducklings. It was possible that Xu Yan himself was a part of the ducklings. This is a place dedicated to physical training, and the sixth class is also taught here.

In contrast, Zuo Chengzhe was wearing a black vest, and his body's muscles were clearly visible. What's surprising is that even if he was wearing a vest, his forearms were still tied with a dark cloth belt, which wrapped the entire forearm up to the palm, only the back half of the arm and ten fingers were exposed.

The students are all six-year-olds, and naturally have boundless curiosity: "Teacher! Why are your hands tied with cloth belts!"
