Chapter 60

Under the gaze of teachers and students, Lu Ran once again boarded the podium to receive the reward he deserved.

At the same time, he also handed over the Speckled Green Stone Blade and the White Rainbow Stone Blade.

Because Lu Ran had plans early on and was sure that he could trade the old for the new, he didn't invest too much emotion in the two blades.

Now it's different.

The Obsidian Blade was already the top-level equipment that Lu Ran could update to at the school and the Divine Bureau!

He could recklessly invest emotion and strive to cultivate the weapon spirit.

"Lu Ran, you performed very well in these assessments, say a few words to your classmates."

"Ah?" Lu Ran looked at the teacher in front of him, suddenly wanting to give him a blade!

Is your own group mockery not enough, and you want me to go on stage myself to draw hatred?

From the teacher's previous remarks, it's not hard to hear that the school is trying to motivate the students.

Letting Lu Ran speak a few words is probably part of the motivation?

"Say something." The male teacher urged.

Lu Ran turned his head and looked at the sea of students under the stage.

Coincidentally, he happened to see Ma Tianchuan's squad and met Wu Shanshan's eyes.

Lu Ran really wanted to say it was a misunderstanding, but...

Forget it, say what.

I'm just looking at you, so what?

Young believers mostly can't hide their emotions well; on those immature faces, one can always find some clues.

There are those who envy, those who are jealous, those who worship, those who are expressionless, and those who are disdainful.

Wu Shanshan belonged to the expressionless type.

Lu Ran leaned to the microphone and whispered: "Everyone, keep it up."

After speaking, he turned and went down the stage.

Lu Ran didn't expect that his four light words would stimulate some people!

Lu Ran didn't deliberately mock anyone.

Even this "Everyone, keep it up" didn't come from the heart; it was purely polite talk.

But the listener is intentional...

Of course, Lu Ran didn't have the time to pay attention to those.

He quickly returned to the team and studied his precious blade.

This blade imitated the Tang horizontal blade style, pitch black all over, and felt a bit heavy in the hand.

On the blade body, there were mysterious patterns exclusive to obsidian.

Under the sunlight, on those beautiful patterns, deep purple luster appeared and disappeared.

"Tsk tsk~"

Lu Ran couldn't put it down and sighed in admiration.

Black representing mystery + purple symbolizing authority!

Beautiful~!

Lu Ran had already fantasized that if one day, he could really cultivate a blade spirit...

The image of this weapon spirit,

would likely be a mysterious, beautiful, and noble woman.

"Brother Lu?"

"Ah?" Lu Ran came back to his senses.

Deng Yutang handed the Glow Blade to Lu Ran: "It's our turn, time to go."

"Oh." Lu Ran took the Glow Blade that was temporarily stored by his teammate and hurriedly followed the troops in front.

"Brother Zhang?" Deng Yutang greeted, meeting an old acquaintance again.

On the day of the city defense on the fifteenth of June, the leader of Squad 98 was precisely this Sword Lotus believer, Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng: "Haven't seen you in two months, you guys are incredible, right?"

While speaking, his gaze lingered on Lu Ran for a moment.

Lu Ran's Obsidian Blade and Black Ice Blade were both black, but they were two different kinds of black.

One was pitch black with purple, mysterious and gorgeous.

One was pitch black and translucent, cold and crystal clear.

That was truly, one more precious and rare than the other!

The style was one higher than the other...

Zhang Feng took the opportunity to say: "Have you thought about what to name the Obsidian Blade?"

"Silent Night, how about that?" Lu Ran pondered.

Others were savoring the name of the blade, while Deng Yutang felt a slight movement in his heart.

This name, why does it feel a bit familiar?

Right, his sister's large horse-slashing blade is named "Night Slashing"...

"Silent night?" Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran weighed the Obsidian Blade and explained: "No, it's to make the night silent.

I want to carry this blade and make every night of the lunar fifteenth a little quieter."

Silent Night Blade in the left hand, Glow Blade in the right hand!

In Lu Ran's heart:

The silent night, paired with the morning glow of the next day...

It couldn't be more appropriate!

"Haha, good ambition!" Zhang Feng laughed heartily, attracting the attention of the students in front.

Lu Ran released divine power from his hand and injected it into the Obsidian Blade.

From now on,

you will be called the Silent Night Blade.

The bus carried the 32 students of Class 4, as well as 8 Moon-Watcher leaders, and drove all the way to the east of the city.

Finally, the vehicle drove into a school that had been abandoned for many years—Yuxiang City No. 5 Primary School.

This small county town had fewer and fewer people, and the children of the new generation also decreased accordingly.

Now, No. 5 Primary School only had a name left, and the teaching building had also been transformed into a shelter.

Lu Ran carried the double blades, got off the bus with the team, and stepped on the yellow land.

The teaching building door opened to the south, and the large wasteland playground was surrounded by a circle of dilapidated sports equipment.

Horizontal bars, swings, seesaws, slides...

There was also a soccer goal without a net, the paint peeling off in chunks, lonely leaning in front of the iron fence.

Lu Ran carefully examined the environment; perhaps it was psychological, but he always felt that it was eerie here.

"Hoo~"

An autumn wind blew, and the empty swing swayed gently.

Lu Ran: "..."

Do you have to be so fitting!

Thanks to this being a primary school; if it were changed to a girls' high school, what would happen?

"Did you go to primary school here?" Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke.

Deng Yutang: "Yeah."

Lu Ran: "No."

The two responded almost at the same time, and Lu Ran also reacted; Beauty Jiang wasn't talking to him.

He looked at Deng Yutang, and on Young Master Deng's face, it was rare to see a hint of melancholy.

Lu Ran said: "Deep feelings?"

"It's okay." Deng Yutang's expression was a bit complicated, and he added, "Unbearable to look back on."

Lu Ran smiled: "In primary school, everyone is heartless, what's unbearable to look back on?"

Deng Yutang looked at Lu Ran: "When I was in first grade, my sister was in fourth grade."

Lu Ran was stunned.

Right, how could he forget this?

"I was in third grade, she was in sixth grade." Deng Yutang sighed, "Do you know how I spent those few years?"

Lu Ran recalled the various things when getting along with the Great Nightmare, and couldn't help but give Deng Yutang a sad expression.

"See that iron swing?" Deng Yutang pointed to the southeast corner.

"What about it?" Jiang Ruyi was a bit curious.

Deng Yutang: "My sister could swing for a week, 360 degrees, a whole circle!"

Lu Ran looked at the high and broken swing frame; this was no small matter: "Good fellow!

Your sister was so brave when she was young, not afraid of flying out?"

Deng Yutang didn't speak, just looking like he still had lingering fears.

Lu Ran sighed in his heart: Sure enough, no matter when, it still has to be biological brothers and sisters!

No matter how much Deng Yuxiang harmed her brother on weekdays, could Deng Yutang not worry when seeing his sister have such dangerous behavior?

Just when Lu Ran was sighing about the deep feelings between siblings, Deng Yutang continued to speak, his voice very light:

"Several times, she grabbed me and took me to swing together."

Lu Ran: "..."

Sorry, I was reckless.

Deng Yutang turned his head and stopped looking at the swing: "Thinking about it now, it's a miracle that I survived."

"Go!" Lu Ran bumped Deng Yutang's shoulder, "In the past, your sister harmed you.

Today, your brother will help you break your inner demon!"

"Lu Ran." Zhang Feng suddenly spoke.

"Here!" Lu Ran turned his head to look.

"Walk through the shelter first and familiarize yourself with the terrain." Zhang Feng said softly, "In a while, you will have free activity time."

"Oh, alright." Lu Ran immediately followed.

Behind him, Tian Tian stretched out her small hand and patted Deng Yutang's arm.

"What?" Deng Yutang looked at Tian Tian suspiciously.

However, Tian Tian just patted him purely, wanting to comfort him just like on WeChat.

No. 5 Primary School had four floors in total, with three classes in each grade, bounded by the stairwell, with three classrooms on the left and right.

The fourth floor was a series of offices.

Lu Ran followed the team and walked around the teaching building, only to see a shrine and divine statue placed in the center of every classroom.

Unsurprisingly, that was the small divine statue of the Deity Biwu.

Bunk beds were placed against the wall, and each classroom had 24 beds.

Compared to the "thousand-person-one-room" shelter like the gymnasium, the conditions of this shelter were much better.

Each classroom was like a single room, the space was relatively spacious, and there was also a small divine statue guarding it, which was relatively safer.

Including children, there were a total of 600 citizens in the teaching building.

Undoubtedly, in any era, the resources enjoyed by different people are unequal.

Lu Ran had never stayed in this kind of shelter, and after a round of inspection, it could be considered an eye-opener.

The citizens in the building were quite friendly, and several people recognized Lu Ran, which made him quite surprised.

Lu Ran also heard titles like "Yuxiang's No. 1 High School Student," "No. 1 Sheep Believer," etc., from an old man.

This made him even more surprised.

Am I considered a little famous?

Poor old man, don't be happy too soon.

The Moon-Watcher said it himself, I am very easy to attract Ink-Paper People!

Last month was the fifteenth of July, not a day for a happy marriage.

Tonight,

just watch if she comes to propose or not, that's it...
