In this year, the decisive battle of Long Island seemed to become the dividing line of the entire dark world. The hustle and bustle before the war formed a sharp contrast with the tranquility and peace after the war.
Sky Academy and Deep Sea Academy reopen.
To be precise, it's the official start of school.
The previous opening times of the two colleges are generally between April and May. After the admission exercise, all courses will be officially opened after a short break.
However, this year's special circumstances broke this routine. Changdao postponed everything for several months, and the official start of school was set for September.
Students from both colleges returned to the college to report, and the standards of the opening ceremony also skyrocketed.
The leader of the Central Continent Academy, President Li Huacheng, came to the Sky Academy accompanied by Gu Xingyun, the lord of Kunlun City, and Ye Dongsheng, the military god of Central Continent.
The leader of the Prince Group and Prime Minister of Zhongzhou, Chen Fangqing, went to the Deep Sea Academy accompanied by Marshal Qi Beicang, the Standing Minister of the Military Ministry, and Marshal Dongcheng Wudi, the commander of the Frontier Corps.
Huating is still hot in September, and the chaos that spread from Sky Academy to the entire Huating has passed, and the entire city is filled with silence.
The entrance ceremony had been held a few months ago, and the class divisions had been completed. All the previous procedures were skipped, and the entire Sky Academy stood in square formations one after another with classes as units.
As the principal, Zhuang Huayang also had another square formation behind him.
The scale is the smallest in the whole venue.
Only seventeen people.
Two of them had their arms broken and ten were seriously injured.
Zhuang Huayang held a list of the dead in his hand.
On Moudong Island in Zhongzhou, both the Deep Sea Academy and the Sky Academy have sent out their most elite students. The so-called most elite naturally refers to the classes led by the two principals themselves.
Fifty people, after months of fighting, only seventeen were left when they came back.
The scene was solemn and sad.
The official opening location is at the gateless gate of Sky Academy.
In front of the huge stone carved with the place where heroes were born.
Carved on the boulder are the names of previous Sky Academy victims.
Zhuang Huayang stood in front of the boulder, holding a carving knife and carving names one after another. The carving knife was covered with red paint, and the carved names turned red, as red as blood.
The entire audience looked at Zhuang Huayang's actions with respect, without saying a word.
Zhuang Huayang engraved the names on the list one by one, and finally only the last person was left.
A person who is now known to the whole world.
He turned his head and looked at the front of the crowd.
Zhongzhou President Li Huacheng, who came to watch the ceremony, looked serious.
Wearing a black formal suit, he looked sad and regretful.
Li Huacheng turned his head and glanced from Gu Xingyun's face.
Just as Gu Xingyun was about to take action, Li Huacheng had already cast his gaze on the face of a woman standing aside.
The woman's face was extremely beautiful, but her expression seemed a bit wooden and hollow.
It was Situ Cangyue, the Lord of Sigh City who returned to Huating from North America.
She did not return to the City of Sighs, but stayed at Sky Academy to recuperate with Jie.
"It's hard work."
Li Huacheng spoke slowly, and a forced smile appeared on his face.
Situ Cangyue nodded, waving her long sleeves, and the gentle power immediately lifted Li Huacheng's whole body.
His body was rising, finally reaching the height of the boulder.
Gu Xingyun's pupils shrank slightly, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he said nothing.
The place where heroes come from.
The word "hero" is carved on the top of the stone tablet.
There is a blank space all around.
Li Huacheng stared at the boulder, tightened the carving knife in his hand, and carved the first stroke slowly and with great force.
He carved it very hard and the font is not small, so the name appears very clear.
There was a suffocating atmosphere in the whole place.
A name slowly took shape and became neat under Li Huacheng's carving knife.
flamboyant.
Li Tianlan.
A name, a legend, a genius.
Under everyone's gaze, Li Huacheng, as the president, personally engraved the name of the last person who died in the Sky Academy.
It is engraved on the top of the stone tablet.
Clear and clear.
"Salute to the hero!"
From behind Li Huacheng, Ye Dongsheng roared with all his strength.
All teachers and students, including Li Huacheng and Gu Xingyun, raised their hands in salute.
The sun shines on the boulders, and the river and the sea meet outside the Sky Academy. On the land covered with sunshine, thousands of teachers and students raise their hands silently and powerfully, and it is solemn.
After the glory of the Li family was extinguished, Li Tianlan became the most dazzling young man in the entire dark world. Many people present had never even seen him, but everyone knew that if it hadn't been for him, this Changdao decisive battle might have been another one.
a result.
Under the starry sky that day, the scene was really too complicated. If Li Tianlan hadn't appeared, what would have happened if Wang Tianzong and Zhutian's troops showed up?
Wang Tianzong will face the siege of five invincibles and two fierce soldiers, including the god.
The decisive battle at that time had reached a critical point. When no one knew how terrifying the power of the gods was, Wang Tianzong, who was number one on the god list, appeared on Changdao, which made everyone instinctively unite as if facing a formidable enemy.
Five invincibles, two ferocious weapons, several half-step invincibles, and more peak masters in the thundering realm. How can Wang Tianzong protect himself even if he has the power to reach heaven?
Without Li Tianlan, what would happen to Wang Tianzong, what would happen to Zhongzhou, and what would happen to the Wang family in Beihai?
Just thinking about that kind of scene will make people's scalp numb.
Likewise, Li Tianlan's achievements are equally shocking.
To a certain extent, he saved the stability of the Central Continent's special operations system.
Even if that wasn't his intention, it doesn't matter.
What matters is the result.
He is a hero.
Can't argue with that.
...
Li Baitian quietly looked at Li Tianlan's name on the stone tablet, with confusion in his eyes.
There is a sword intention in Shushan, and there are thousands of sword intentions.
The four great sword masters of Shushan are also pure swordsmen.
With Li Baitian's identity, he does not actually need to come to Sky Academy to study, let alone be assigned to the same dormitory as Li Tianlan by seemingly coincidental necessity.
Everything has been arranged in advance.
The same should be true for Ning Qiancheng. He was with Li Tianlan because of Dongcheng Wudi's order.
As for Li Baitian, he was entrusted by others, and his senior brother also knew about this matter. After learning about it in detail, he finally acquiesced to the fact that he and Ye Huayu came to Sky Academy.
The mentality of deliberately getting close and making friends is actually very subtle, but after a brief contact, Li Baitian felt that Li Tianlan was a good person.
They once fought against the Liu family together in the entrance drills and shared the ups and downs together.
On Changdao, when he learned that he and Ning Qiancheng were in danger, he rushed from Changdao to Zhongjing without hesitation to live and die together.
Up to now, they have not been together for a long time, but how they get together is actually not important anymore.
Now they are brothers and recognize each other, and that's enough.
...
Ning Qiancheng's body swayed a little in the crowd.
He was now seriously injured and could only barely walk on the ground at best. Yu Qingyan supported him by her side and looked at the heart-stopping name on the stone tablet with him.
Yu Qingyan's eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she had cried.
But Ning Qiancheng looked calm.
He didn't believe that Li Tianlan was dead.
Even though he died right in front of his eyes, with a sword piercing his chest.
But Qin Weibai's reaction at that time seemed a bit abnormal.
The battlefield at that time was too chaotic, with all kinds of sword energy roaring between heaven and earth. All the pictures seemed to fade in and out. But for some reason, perhaps because he was not far away from Li Tianlan, Ning Qiancheng saw everything at that time.
.
He didn't hear many words, but he saw Qin Weibai's performance.
The sword penetrated Li Tianlan's heart directly, and blood burst out under the starlight.
Qin Weibai was very calm at that moment.
She seemed to have expected this kind of thing a long time ago, or in other words, she had already expected that kind of result.
When he took Li Tianlan from the saint's arms, his hands were shaking, but it was not fear, just simple heartache.
From beginning to end, he never felt the despair of losing his beloved from Qin Weibai.
There is just a feeling of guilt and desolation that goes deep into my bones.
People from Tiandu Purgatory took away Li Tianlan's body.
At that moment, Ning Qiancheng, who was already seriously injured, vaguely saw Qin Weibai turning around.
Extremely decisive.
It was difficult for him to understand the feelings between Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai, but if the emotions were not carved into his bones and the affection in his blood, she would not have that look in her eyes when she held Li Tianlan's body.
If everything was really irreversible, why would Qin Weibai turn around so decisively and abandon Li Tianlan's body?
Ning Qiancheng thought of the text message he received this morning.
The text message came from his father, who had not been in contact with him for several years. Now, because hundreds of elites from the Burning Realm in the Eastern Theater were lost on Long Island, the strength of the Eastern Theater was greatly reduced. At this time, his father should be very worried.
"The general trend has become clear, so do what you should do."
Ning Qiancheng thought about this text message, turned around and looked at Li Baitian beside him: "Do you really believe..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Baitian shook his head and interrupted him.
"That name is really an eyesore."
Li Baitian looked at the stone tablet in front of him and said.
...
Wang Yuetong was also looking at the stone tablet in front of her.
Her eyes were dazed and blurred, and the pride of the little princess of the Beihai Wang family began to fade away bit by bit. When Li Huacheng completely carved the name on the stone tablet, she could no longer hold back, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
, tears fell like rain.
In the days before Li Tianlan's departure, Wang Yuetong could feel his intimacy and occasional possessiveness toward her. The two of them had slept on the same bed, which all showed that Li Tianlan seemed to have accepted his identity.
An identity that doesn't seem very glorious.
But Wang Yuetong never cared about this, not because she really didn't care, but because she felt it was unnecessary.
She really likes Li Tianlan, likes him very much, so much that she is willing to give herself completely and completely to him.
But Wang Yuetong never thought about the future.
Perhaps occasionally I thought that the grudges between Wang and Li would slowly disappear because of the existence of her and Li Tianlan, but fantasies can only be fantasies after all.
She is the little princess of the Beihai Wang family and has a distinguished status.
But in the face of the rise and fall of wealthy families and the general trend of Central Continent, it is insignificant.
So Wang Yuetong didn't think about the future, she just liked Li Tianlan and wanted to be with him.
Even if we will be separated in the future, at least we have it before.
The future that she couldn't see was right in front of her. How ridiculous was she thinking about the so-called status?
Maybe it's enough to live together without regrets.
Wang Yuetong took out her mobile phone with trembling hands.
On the communication software of the mobile phone, there are messages that Wang Yuetong has sent to Li Tianlan in the past few months. They are all very trivial things, like a little girl who likes to pester her boyfriend.
Li Tianlan didn't reply at all.
In the midst of the general trend, he is seeking Dongdao and is not sure whether he will have a huge conflict with the Beihai Wang family. How will Li Tianlan respond?
There is no reply and I will not be able to reply in the future.
Wang Yuetong's eyes became increasingly sad.
He couldn't imagine how decisive that cruel man was when he drew his sword for Qin Weibai on Changdao.
I can't even imagine the reluctance and melancholy I feel after the sword light is gone.
Everything seems to have been determined long ago.
She and him really have no future.
Not separation, but farewell.
Like is no longer like.
She looked at the name gradually blurring on the stone tablet.
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Yuetong realized that she had really fallen in love with that man.
But he was already dead.
...
The crowd began to disperse.
Zhuang Huayang accompanied Li Huacheng, Gu Xingyun and others to his office.
Now the most awe-inspiring pair of siblings in the dark world of Central Continent stayed where they were, quietly looking at the stone tablet in front of them.
"What will happen to him?"
Situ Cangyue looked at Li Tianlan's name and asked suddenly.
"who?"
Zed's eyes were dim. He looked at his sister in white beside him and asked softly.
This problem is actually obvious.
But Situ Cangyue seemed to be stumped by her own problem.
After a long time, she said softly: "What will happen to Tianlan?"
"have no idea."
Zed shook his head.
He really doesn't know.
"But it's peaceful over there in Samsara. The saints have returned to Middle-earth."
Jie thought for a while and said again.
It's very peaceful over there in Samsara, which is the best news.
"Reincarnation exits Central Continent...ha..."
Situ Cangyue shook her head and did not continue.
On the surface, Samsara did withdraw from Central Continent, but it only lost one Pre-Qin International.
The saints returned to Central Continent, and combined with what they gained during this trip, it can even be said that reincarnation has taken another step forward in Central Continent.
"You don't want to ask anything else?"
Jie said.
"What?"
Situ Cangyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"ask him."
Jie's tone was calm: "Senluo, immortality, immortality...these..."
"Any questions?"
Situ Cangyue said calmly: "He is not him. Otherwise, how could Tian Lan die?"
"Not death."
Jie corrected Situ Cangyue: "It's because of death."
"This is nothing different."
Situ Cangyue shook her head.
Zed said no more, a trace of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Under the silver mask, Zed pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes seemed to become darker.
"what happened?"
Situ Cangyue's eyes turned sharp: "The injury you suffered on Changdao is still not under control?"
"Nagashima's injuries are under control."
Zed smiled in a complicated tone: "But the injuries after the breakthrough cannot be controlled."
"Even if I didn't break through at that time, I was sure that I could kill Miyamoto. But I could feel that it was my best chance to break through. I succeeded, and now I have entered the invincible realm."
Jie laughed at himself: "But it is better not to succeed. In this invincible realm, it is better not to enter. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Situ Cangyue did not smile.
Her body slowly tensed up and she looked at Jie without saying a word.
Noon in late summer and early autumn.
The sun is blazing.
Jie stood quietly, like a lonely shadow.
...
The dark world has completely calmed down.
As the Battle of Long Island passed, the major dark forces, which all suffered different losses, also entered a period of recuperation. Conflicts in all aspects were suppressed. Even if there were some slight disturbances, they became major forces and major countries within themselves.
things.
But all the forces know that the current matter is not over yet.
The current calm is just brewing a bigger storm.
Zhongzhou began to deal with its internal affairs in an orderly manner, and all subsequent events after the decisive battle on Changdao were resolved one by one.
Li Tianlan is a topic that cannot be avoided after all.
After several days of deliberation, Kunlun City in Central Continent finally reluctantly came up with two new lists.
When they saw this list, many people suddenly realized that it was time to re-rank the top ten masters of the younger generation in Central Continent.
Not only the top ten masters of the younger generation, but also the top ten masters of Central Continent today have come to re-rank their rankings.
The rankings in these two new rankings come as no surprise to anyone.
The pattern of the top ten masters of the younger generation has been completely changed.
Li Tianlan became the well-deserved number one, becoming the number one master of the younger generation in Central Continent.
Wang Shengxiao followed closely behind. He was no longer tied with Guhanshan, but Guhanshan was ranked third.
Dongcheng fell back one place in the original ranking, but he surpassed Jiang Shangyu in front of him and ranked fourth.
Li Baitian ranked fifth, second only to Jiang Shangyu.
Sixth and seventh are a husband and wife team that surprises everyone. Ning Qiancheng is on the list, and Yu Qingyan is on this list for the first time. The record of poisoning the thunder realm has completely made this girl who is good at using poison completely.
Yu Qingyan was famous in Central Continent, and if some people didn't think poison was a foreign object, Yu Qingyan's ranking would be even higher.
The eighth place is Du Hanyin, who once entered this list and then fell out. After her mutated wind veins were abolished, she had no problem entering this list.
Wang Yuetong, who had never participated in the decisive battle on Chang Island, dropped out of this list. The last two on the list were Qi Chaoxi, the young master of Shura Tao, who also did not participate in the decisive battle on Chang Island, and Zhong Li Wuxin, a close disciple of the dean of the Deep Sea Academy.
This list has attracted a lot of attention, but not many people have talked about it. The moisture in the list is obvious every year.
What people are most excited about is the ranking of the top ten contemporary masters of the empire.
The ten people on this five-year list basically represent the peak combat effectiveness of Central Continent in the next five years!
This is the big deal.
The rankings of the younger generation are fluctuating.
The rankings of the older generation are also being adjusted.
And on this valuable list, Li Tianlan is also on the list.
Wang Tianzong, Gu Xingyun, Situ Cangyue.
After the unbeatable top three, Li Tianlan ranked fourth among the top ten masters in Central Continent.
Behind him is the calamity that broke through the invincible realm.
The Great Elder of Kunlun City, who is also in the invincible realm, has been pushed to sixth place.
Shushan Nirvana Sword Master Guard Kunlun ranked seventh.
The Invincible East City Killer of Central Continent ranks eighth.
The name of Zhuang Huayang, the principal of Sky Academy, did not appear on the list, and the ninth place was also a young man.
Beihai Wang family, Wang Shengxiao!
With the combat effectiveness he showed on Long Island, no one doubts this ranking.
The tenth position was given to the shadow guard in Central Continent who has been in Youzhou all year round, the shadow sect master Hua Qingfeng.
In terms of quality, this time's rankings only look at paper. Zhongzhou's high-end combat effectiveness has undoubtedly increased significantly.
The top six are all invincible-level combatants, and the inclusion of the young Thunder King Shengxiao on the list gives people unlimited expectations.
But whether it is a young generation list or a contemporary list, one of them is always an illusion.
Li Tianlan is already dead.
These two lists, in the eyes of many people, have become his last traces in this world.
But people who also firmly believed that miracles would happen began to mention things that Kunlun City had been unwilling to mention or publicize.
Achievements!
Li Tianlan’s achievements.
The merits of all.
Sky Academy has started counting Li Tianlan's credits.
Some people began to study the level of Donghuang Palace.
Sky Academy will report the calculated credits to Kunlun City.
Eighty thousand credits!
This is a number that is big enough to make anyone completely despair, breaking the record of the highest credits ever recorded by Sky Academy and Deep Sea Academy since their establishment.
Kunlun City almost without hesitation rejected the information reported by Sky Academy.
As a result, Principal Zhuang Huayang seemed to have lost his temper and simply reported 100,000 credits for the second time.
The credit statistics of the two special warfare academies have strict rules, but the problem is that Li Tianlan killed two invincibles on Changdao, and even captured a fierce soldier. This thing cannot be calculated at all. Even if Kunlun City rejects it,
He didn't dare to reject Li Tianlan's credits alone, but mixed them with others.
With Li Tianlan's achievements, at this time, even if Zhuang Huayang said he had one million credits, no one would say anything more.
Because Li Tianlan is a hero.
Kunlun City remained silent for two days, and finally approved the credits reported by Sky Academy.
One hundred thousand credits!
Of course, these 100,000 credits were not counted to Li Tianlan himself, but to the entire Donghuang Palace.
But it doesn't matter, because this is destined to be an unbeatable number. The first place in this Sky Academy has been born in advance when the semester has just officially started.
...
Imperial Soldier Mountain.
Wang Tianzong was also looking at the list in his hand.
Sitting opposite him was Wang Shengxiao.
"The ninth one...heh...is a bit more showy."
Wang Tianzong shook the list in his hand: "But it doesn't matter, you have grown up now. My request to you remains the same, it is still the same two words, be cautious."
"Why don't you let Brother Jiang come on?"
Wang Shengxiao asked as he took the list in Wang Tianzong's hand and looked at the names on it.
The three characters "Li Tianlan" are on it.
Somewhat dazzling.
"This is not something I can decide."
Wang Tianzong shook his head. If Di Jiang appeared on this list, even if he could not suppress Gu Qianchuan, he would replace the Nirvana Sword Master in the ranking. But what decides this kind of thing is Kunlun City, the center of power of the Central Continent's special warfare system, and the King of Beihai
No matter how powerful the clan is, it cannot influence the ancient history.
Wang Shengxiao didn't speak, he just lowered his head quietly and looked at the list in his hand that seemed very light but also seemed very heavy.
"Not willing?"
As if he knew what his son was thinking, Wang Tianzong asked.
Wang Shengxiao shook his head, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "His performance on Changdao that day deserves to be remembered by Zhongzhou. Ranked fourth, I have nothing to say."
"Remembered by Zhongzhou..."
Wang Tianzong narrowed his eyes slightly, lit a cigarette, and said calmly: "It's more than just Zhongzhou?"
Wang Shengxiao's palms trembled.
He suddenly remembered another ranking of Dark World this year.
A ranking that represents the peak combat power in the entire dark world.
This ranking was also a very important part of the reason for the decisive battle between Palace Master Samsara and Gu Xingyun.
World God Ranking!
He looked at Wang Tianzong with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Nothing strange."
Wang Tianzong spoke indifferently: "At the age of nineteen, he was in the invincible realm. He killed two invincibles in one battle, and one of them was ranked ninth on the God List. Li Tianlan will definitely enter the God List and be remembered by the entire dark world."
That was a sword light that was enough to astonish the entire dark world, not because of how powerful it was, but because of the vigor before the end.
The owner of that sword light was only nineteen years old.
The invincible state at the age of nineteen is destined to be impossible to be forgotten in a short period of time.
"I've already signed it."
Wang Tianzong looked at Wang Shengxiao and said.
The ranking of the World God List requires the joint signatures of all the known invincible masters in the world, as well as the major forces. However, when the opinions of the majority overwhelm the minority, the ranking will take effect, and the ranking of the God List is also related to the major forces in the dark world.
Division of interests among forces.
Li Tianlan now occupies a spot on the God List. He replaced Aldak, who was killed by him, and ranks ninth on the God List.
Wang Tianzong is still number one on the God List.
But Aresis, who was ranked second, became third.
The god of Tiandu Purgatory replaced Aresis and became the second master on the world's god list.
Gu Xingyun fell back one place, reaching fifth place.
The Lord of Samsara Palace is now ranked fourth.
Situ Cangyue, the Hidden God of Central Continent, jumped from the fifteenth to the eleventh place on the God List.
Very interesting phenomenon.
In Central Continent, Situ Cangyue ranked higher than Li Tianlan, but on the God List, Li Tianlan ranked higher than Situ Cangyue.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Wang Tianzong thought about the list that would be spread to every corner of the dark world from now on, his eyes were indifferent.
Fifteen of the gods are invincible.
There is a dead man now.
That is a name that needs to be remembered by the dark world.
