   ——The devil was woken up by the burn.

There was a scorching hot temperature under his feet, and the carapace made a sizzling sound under the high temperature.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It squealed in horror, kicking its six thin legs in the air.

"...You are so noisy." The

human boy's slightly impatient voice sounded very close.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying coercion descended, instantly strangling the worm's throat.

It froze in mid-air, staring dully at the human in front of it.

The terrifying flame was near, leaping silently, radiating terrifying heat to the surroundings.

No, not burned?

Seeing that the worm finally stopped screaming, Shi An put out the dragon flame at his fingertips.

His appearance has returned to normal, only a little dark red light faintly flashes in the darkness in the depths of his pupils, like fiery charcoal, revealing some inhuman qualities.

——The memories just now came flooding in like a tide.

Eyes, scales, flames.

......dragon.

"—But, but all the dragons are dead!" The demon worm screamed hysterically, his voice trembling and his tone changed: "There are no more fantasy species on this continent!"

Shi An tilted his head in doubt: "I will Not dead."

"..." The

magic worm suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Twenty minutes later, Shi An finally understood the current situation of this era.

After a long silence, he spoke slowly in disbelief: "So, there are no elves now?"

"No more."

"Where's the mermaid? Lich—"

"That's right, it's gone."

Shi An's pupils trembled.

He really did not expect that after so many years, only the weakest species survived:

"How could this be?!"

"No, I don't know." The worm replied cautiously.

——It has begun to believe that the one in front of it may really be a dragon that has survived from ancient times:

"We haven't lived that long."

It asked fearfully: "So...you, you really are Dragon?"

Shi An glanced at it badly.

"!" The demon worm shuddered and changed his words quickly: "No, I didn't mean to question your identity, just..."

"Why did you become like this?"

From the inside to the outside, from the blood From the bones to the skin, it's all a fake human scent - even a powerful fantasy species, this disguise is a bit too real.

This reminded Shi An, and he finally remembered the reason why he had brought the bug back.

"Before in the banquet hall, I smelled a... odor." Shi An held down the demon insect that was trying to escape in a panic, pinched it in his hand and looked up and down carefully, then frowned, puzzled. Said: "...but not now."

Smell?

The demon worm was stunned for a moment and stopped struggling: "Yes, is that it?" The

familiar dark breath permeated silently.

"Yes!" Shi An's eyes lit up: "What is this?"

"...Poison, poisonous gas." The

worm replied dumbly.

The bottom of the abyss is filled with highly poisonous air. For the species living in it, poisonous gas can make them more ferocious and aggressive.

All creatures that climb out of the abyss will habitually transform the air around them when they attack. , to make it appropriate.

But it is deadly to creatures on the mainland.

Logically speaking, dragons are no exception.

The devil was overjoyed.

Maybe... this will be its chance to fight back!

It flapped its wings and worked harder to transform the air around it.

The boy in front of him loosened his fingers slightly, but tightened them again in the next second.

Shi An stared at the insect in front of him with bright eyes, and shook it without mercy:

"Continue." The

insect: ? ? ?

It was dizzy and dizzy, and suddenly, an ominous premonition struck.

"Then, that..." It said cautiously, "Excuse me... what kind of dragon are you?"

Fire dragon? Agile, slender, and fiery.

Or black dragon? Majestic, huge, and amazingly powerful...

Shi An grinned: "Abyss dragon."

——Ferocious, cruel, uncertain.

The toughest and scariest of all dragons, even in ancient times.

The most important thing is that, born in the abyss, grow up in the abyss, no matter which side of the continent is a hegemonic figure.

Devil: "..."

Grass.

Sorry to bother you.

After the anti-killing heart was strangled in the cradle, the devil worm obediently shook out everything he knew.

After ten thousand years of sleep, Shi An felt the changes in this era.

The abyss and the ground are two sides of a continent.

In his era, as long as it was strong enough, it was possible to shuttle between the front and back at will, but after the fantasy species disappeared, the abyss was firmly sealed, and only a few cracks could be opened occasionally, but the poisonous gas could not come out. , only the abyss species can.

On the ground, after the fantasy species disappeared, humans created a civilization built by magic and technology, and gradually became the masters of the continent. The conflicts between them and other monsters also intensified, and now they are almost irreconcilable.

But these times An is not very concerned.

And those things he really cared about didn't make the slightest progress.

This worm neither knew the information about its own body nor the whereabouts of its treasures, and because it was so weak, even the poisonous gas it produced was only a little bit.

This concentration is too low, and there is no way for him to find the feeling that he had vaguely touched in the banquet hall before.

"...Well then." Shi An sighed in disappointment: "It seems that you are useless." The worm

: "?"

Come on.

The demon worm screamed: "Wait a minute!!"

Shi An moved for a while, and asked very nicely, "Huh? What's the matter?"

- If you ignore the dragon flame on his fingertips.

The monster: "I'm still useful! It's still useful!"

It fluttered its six thin legs in the air and said tremblingly: "I, I know that there are stronger monsters there, which can create more poisonous mist in the abyss! Shi An became interested: "

Where?"

The demon worm carefully hugged Shi'an's fingers, and said flatteringly:

"I, the gap I climbed out of, I, I can take you there."

It paused and stammered: "But... It might be a little difficult."

"Difficult?" Shi An frowned.

The worm said: "It's location is very secret, and the guards are very strict. I relied on the weakest larval form and parasitized three people in a row to barely smuggle out."

"Do you know the school of capable people?"

Shi An nodded. .

The magic bug said solemnly: "The crack is on the campus, so if we want to get close, we must pretend to be perfect, and then wait for the opportunity..."

Shi An thought for a while and said, "Or we can just wait for the school to start.

" Ah?" The demon worm didn't respond for a while.

Shi An pointed to the envelope that he had thrown away on his bedside table. It was stamped with the seal of the Academy of Ability, and had five big words written on it - the admission letter: "It seems like there is still a week left?" The

devil: "... ..." To

be able to admit the abyss dragon into the school, I feel that most of the human beings are going to be finished.

"You guessed it right." Zhuo Fu pushed a document over with a rare solemn expression on his face:

"The abyss has been very unstable recently."

Mu Heng turned two pages and glanced casually.

"Since this period of time, reports of abyss rifts have appeared endlessly in various places. Although they have occurred from time to time in the past, the frequency has been too high recently." Zhuo Fu took a deep breath and said, "Especially now, it actually appears in Shangcheng District. The abyss species...then there is only one possibility-"

Mu Heng closed the document:

"A new crack is nearby."

Zhuo Fu narrowed his eyes: "You already knew."

"It's not difficult to guess." Mu Heng pushed the document back: "But it's hard to find."

He said slowly: "My people have already been dispatched to search the whole city."

Mu Heng tapped on the table with his fingertips:

"Remember to get the approval documents."

Zhuo Fu: "..."

——Fuck you It's squeezing labor! !

After Zhuo Fu was sent away, only Mu Heng was left in the office again.

He lowered his eyes and picked up the document he was reviewing before Zhuo Fu entered the door.

On the first page, the handsome young man pursed his lips shyly and smiled silently at him.

Below is a few lines of small characters, which briefly condenses the first half of his turbulent life into it.

Except -

the inexplicable disappearance, and the accidental admission.

Mu Heng squinted his eyes without a trace, all his emotions were hidden under the blue ice floes.

At this moment, the door was knocked.

"Come in."

Wen Yao opened the door cautiously: "Sir, an invitation letter has been sent from the Academy of the Ability. Is the rejection letter still sent as it is?"

"No need," Mu Heng said.

Wen Yao obviously didn't expect this unexpected answer, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

I saw Mu Heng put down the documents, crossed his slender and pale fingers carelessly, and said, "I will go to the opening ceremony this time."

There are still a few days before the school starts, and the housekeeper has already started to help Shi An prepare the things he needs for school. .

He put everything on the list neatly into the suitcase, and then picked it up with his full backpack - and nearly stumbled under the heavy weight.

The housekeeper: "...What did you pack?"

Shi An held the backpack firmly in his arms, and said solemnly: "—Personal belongings." The

housekeeper glanced at Shi An suspiciously, but finally did not continue to ask , but turned around to do other preparations.

The folds at Shi'an's cuffs moved, and the demon worm quietly stuck its head out.

It looked at the luggage that had been almost sorted out in front of it, and felt a little ridiculous for a while: "You... you are really going to enter the academy directly like this."

Shi An nodded as a matter of course: "Of course."

"I received the notice. Oh," he emphasized.

Demon Insect: "I didn't mean that..."

"It is said that the security measures of this Ability Academy are very strict, so you don't have to worry..."

It realized that it had said something wrong, so it hurriedly slapped Rainbow Fart and said: " Of course! With your ability, you definitely don't need to be afraid of those weak ants, but they are an obstacle to our plan after all, and the most important thing is that although your current body should not matter, but I am a monster after all, I am afraid I can't deceive That security—" The

demon worm looked up secretly.

I saw the young man squinting lazily, resting his chin on the bag, looking extremely comfortable.

The magic worm suddenly realized: "You already have a solution, right?"

Shi An thought for a while.

Then he shook his head honestly: "No." The

devil: "..."

I fucking—

just at this moment, there was the sound of the doorbell ringing downstairs.

- No one has rang the doorbell since the first day he arrived here.

Shi An got up and walked downstairs.

I saw the housekeeper standing at the door with a cold face, and in front of him stood a young man whose facial features were three-dimensionally similar to those of Shi Zechun. His tone was polite and stiff: "--Is there anything you need to do here?"

Shi Rui stood at the door. An impeccable smile appeared on his face: "I heard that my brother and I are enrolled in the same batch this time? So I wanted to come and say hello in advance."

Shi An blinked.

Um? Who is this person.

Shi Rui said with a smile, "You don't know about the opening ceremony of the Academy of Ability, right?"

"It's said to be the opening ceremony, but it's actually a large-scale practical assessment.

" The results of the assessment will be divided into classes, so... some tricks to fool the machine may not be very useful." Shi Rui said with a hint of a secret smile on his lips.

The butler's expression darkened even more.

Shi Rui: "So in order to cope with the assessment, my father set up a venue for us to conduct a simulation exercise. This time I came to ask my brother to come with me."

He smiled perfectly, without any hint of showing off.

All the maliciousness was hidden indiscriminately, and it seemed extraordinarily close and friendly: "Brothers should take care of each other." The

butler's brows furrowed even tighter.

He is very aware of his young master's talent. Although he can barely pass the magic test of the academy, he has never experienced any magic training, let alone rehearsal... Although he hopes that the young master can emerge and regain his attention and family However, compared to this, he was more worried about Shi An's injury.

Just when he was about to politely decline, he heard the clear voice of a young man from behind:

"Huh? Simulation?"

The butler was startled and turned to look.

I saw the teenager stepped forward with a sincere expression: "Then it can simulate the security measures in that entrance test...is it?" ——It

is best to let him test whether he can carry a human face bug The kind that mixes in.

Shi Rui was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused about why the other party said that, and subconsciously replied:

"...Probably?"

Shi An's eyes lit up: "Okay, then let's go."
