The examination was forced to stop because the nightmare beast was too terrifying. It would drag people into the dreamland hidden deep in the subconscious. Once they entered the dreamland, the power of the world would not be able to interfere. They could only rely on themselves. Those with strong willpower would not be affected. Even if they were dragged into the dreamland, they would wake up quickly. Those with weak willpower would remain in the dreamland forever.
This type of vicious beast didn't evolve from an animal, but was instead mutated from a human. It was said that a person who mutated into a Nightmare Beast must have suffered inhumane torture before. Therefore, they had an extreme hatred for humans and vowed to let other humans experience their pain in their dreams.
Although the physique of a body cultivator was strong, the willpower was another level of power. The only way to grow was through one's own experience. It was a kind of power that needed to be tempered to grow.
Until now, humans were still helpless against the attack on the consciousness level. They could only transport the sleeping students back to the school and ask a powerful person to try to wake them up. Shang Jing University had many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Naturally, there were people who focused on the study of consciousness.
The nightmare beast might still be in the valley. Ordinary body cultivators had almost no power to resist it. Therefore, they were unable to continue. The students took the special train back to the school.
Luo Kai returned to his own Ruifeng Valley. Tuoba Yong followed closely behind him.
He was thinking about how to solve this nightmare beast along the way. Everyone's consciousness had a firewall system. If he wanted to wake them up, he could only break through this firewall. However, he couldn't break through it by force. He turned around and asked, "Little Yong, did you feel anything strange last night?"
Tuoba Yong scratched his head and said blankly, "No, I was sleeping. I had a strange dream. Then, I was woken up by the thunder!"
"What did you dream about?" Luo Kai's expression changed.
Tuoba Yong chuckled and said, "I dreamt that I beat my father up."
Luo Kai smiled and rubbed his big head. He looked at his own wooden house. It was okay for him to live alone. However, it was a bit crowded with Tuoba Yong staying here all day. It was better to build a new house.
Although he had never learned carpentry, his cultivation had reached the realm of mathematical insight. He began to work after thinking about it for a while. Tuoba Yong was in charge of cutting the trees, and he would build them.
In just two days, he had built a pure wooden house on the spot. Although it was not painted, it still had an antique charm. Moreover, he had also borrowed the construction concept of the Western style. It was airy and transparent, simple and elegant.
Tuoba Yong didn't want to leave. He didn't go to class all day and concentrated on studying carpentry. It was mainly because Luo Kai made some building blocks casually. Children liked building blocks because they could increase their intelligence.
The first guest came to his new home. It was a little old man with messy hair and a slovenly appearance. He smiled at Tuoba Yong, who was squatting at the door and building blocks, and said, "Xiao Yong, do you still remember me?"
Tuoba Yong looked up at him and said, "I recognize you. You're Old Man Ou. You came to my house once and beat up my father."
The little old man said fiercely, "That stinking brat Tuoba Ye deserved to be beaten. I'll beat him again the next time I see him."
Tuoba Yong stood up and looked around. He said carefully, "Can you call me the next time you beat up my father?"
"Haha, of course. Do you want to help?" The little old man was very excited and nodded.
"No, I can't beat my father. I want to see you beat him."
The little old man stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder. He said loudly, "Okay, I'll definitely bring you next time."
Luo Kai walked out speechlessly. This little old man should be a teacher in the school. He rarely went out of Ruifeng Valley, so he didn't know him. He said, "Teacher, what's the matter?"
The little old man didn't answer. After seeing him, he suddenly became sluggish. His pair of turbid eyes stared straight at him. There was a bit of surprise, but more of confusion.
Luo Kai touched his face unnaturally and said again, "Teacher, why did you come here?"
The little old man looked at him and frowned. He thought hard for a while and asked, "You're Luo Kai, right? Do you remember your own birthday?"
Luo Kai frowned and shook his head. He said, "I don't remember."
The little old man muttered to himself. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Luo Kai's arm.
Luo Kai's face became cold. His figure flashed and he moved out of the way.
The little old man didn't seem to expect that he didn't catch him. He was stunned and said, "I know some simple face reading techniques. Your face is a bit strange. I need to measure your bones and meridians."
"Feel my bones?" Luo Kai was secretly surprised. What was this little old man trying to do?
"Young man, your life is very strange. You don't have any life patterns!"
Luo Kai couldn't help but ask, "What are life patterns?"
The little old man patiently said, "Any life form will have life patterns. They may be hidden in the body, or they may appear outside the body. Generally speaking, we humans have life patterns outside the body. You can compare the beginning of life and death to two points. The life pattern is a line connecting the two points. The line between the two points represents life. But you don't have the point of birth, the line in the middle, and the point of death!"
Luo Kai was shocked. He naturally had been thinking about his origin. Strictly speaking, his body and soul shouldn't have appeared in this world at this time.
The little old man continued, "The evil aura between your eyebrows is very strong. It seems that you have reached a resonance with the evil aura. It is the legendary fate of the Heavenly Calamity Lone Star. The Heavenly Calamity Lone Star and another fate are called the two ultimate fates. The other fate is called the Killing Breaking Wolf, which is the Seven Evils, the Army Destroyer, and the Greedy Wolf."
He suddenly pointed at Tuoba Yong and said, "This silly boy has the Army Destroyer fate. He was born to be a war god on the battlefield. If I'm not wrong, the other Seven Evils and the Greedy Wolf have also appeared. We humans have suddenly appeared with these ultimate fates. It is most likely that we have reached the point of life and death!"
Luo Kai frowned. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Life and death reincarnation, the order of life and death, these are all part of the Heavenly Dao. Some things will come sooner or later."
The little old man shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about you. You have no life and no death. You have violated the Heavenly Dao of reincarnation!"
Luo Kai looked up at the sky. His thoughts returned to calmness. He said lightly, "So what? This world also came from nothing."
…
Very soon, the school found a solution. A few lamas were invited to the school. They used the Soul Suppressing Thunder to wake the students up one by one. The Soul Suppressing Thunder was a secret technique of an ancient religion. The ascetics of the religion paid more attention to the cultivation of the power of the soul. It was the nemesis of the nightmare.
Before the school could figure out the assessment method, the situation outside suddenly changed. A coastal fleet of the Xi family of the East China Sea was attacked by sea monsters. More than ten thousand people were swallowed by the sea monsters. A large scale attack by ferocious beasts also broke out in the coastal area. Some humans turned into eight-clawed monsters overnight. The intelligent deep sea creatures officially launched an attack on humans.
The Body Arts Association issued a mobilization order. A large number of body warriors gathered at the coastal area. When the war broke out, no one could stay out of it. The coastline of the human territory was too long and narrow. It was extremely difficult to defend. The University of Beijing also began to organize students to go to the rescue.
