Transcendent Ember

Chapter 9 Kongming's Scarecrow
In the treasure house of Yujing University, a large number of extraordinary items have been accumulated, which are the hard work of countless teachers and students for hundreds of years.

The treasury was heavily guarded. Zhang Jichuan took Director Darcy's note and went through several inspections before seeing Teacher Yang who was in charge of the treasury.

"You are the intern teacher who helped Director Darcy identify Edward Jenner's syringe? I heard that you were an ordinary person during the interview yesterday, but you can bind extraordinary items today?" Teacher Yang looked at him in surprise. .

Zhang Jichuan nodded lightly, not wanting to publicize, and said in a low-key manner: "Teacher Yang is troublesome."

Teacher Yang carefully checked Director Darcy's seal, and after confirming that it was correct, he opened a secret door, revealing a dark corridor: "Go in."

"Thank you."

Teacher Yang watched Zhang Jichuan's back disappear into the corridor, closed the secret door, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer.

He made a phone call: "Assistant Qi? That Zhang Jichuan came to prepay for supernatural items... Yes, even today, I didn't expect him to come so soon... Don't worry, I have picked out the extraordinary items according to your instructions." Let him choose from a batch of extraordinary items with low potential, great influence of negative abilities, and weak supernatural abilities... I don't dare to take them seriously, and I hope that Assistant Qi will say something kindly in front of the principal... Oh, thank you very much, Assistant Qi... Definitely ,must!"

After hanging up the phone, Teacher Yang put away his flattering smile, looked at the secret door of the treasure house, and said in a low voice: "Boy, you offended the vice principal, so you can take care of yourself!"

…………

…………

Zhang Jichuan came to a dim room, sat down cross-legged in the only place where the only beam of light could shine in the center, and began to release his soul power.

In the dream weaving with the lantern, he has used the power of the soul countless times, but in reality, this is the first time, and he is quite flustered.

Fortunately, Director Darcy explained everything to him in detail before departure.

Gradually, his soul power evenly filled the entire room.

Suddenly, a piece of information appeared in his mind:

"Pu Yuan Divine Knife, a first-grade extraordinary item, unbound!
"That year, Pu Yuan created three thousand swords for Zhuge Liang, and this is one of them...

"Extraordinary Ability: Armor Breaking - Unleashes the fierce sword light, even people with armor, smashing them with one blow!

"Negative ability: quenching - after using the extraordinary ability, the host must be tempered in the furnace and water for a period of time, otherwise the body will be broken.

"Is it bound?"

"No, next!" Zhang Jichuan decisively responded with the power of his soul.

Soon, the information of the second extraordinary item appeared:
"Olmec mask, a first-class extraordinary item, unbound!
"That year, this mask was used by the Olmecs in sacrificial ceremonies...

"Extraordinary Ability: Transformation - transformed into a half-human, half-animal existence, with greatly improved strength, speed, and endurance.

"Negative Ability: Beastization - After using the extraordinary ability, the host's body will gradually change in the direction of half-human and half-animal permanently.

"Is it bound?"

"No, next!"

"Roman Ring Key", "Feng Xiaolian's Pipa", "Dukang Wine"...

One piece of information about extraordinary items appeared in Zhang Jichuan's mind one by one, and he gradually frowned.

"Extraordinary items that don't have the ability to deal with dreams and hypnosis..."

Just when he was a little restless, Zhang Jichuan suddenly saw a supernatural item:
"Kong Ming's scarecrow, a first-rank extraordinary item (up to third rank), unbound!

"That year, in a foggy day, Zhuge Kongming borrowed [-] arrows from Cao Cao, and strictly practiced the principle of being a man who borrowed and repaid, and borrowing again is not difficult...

"Extraordinary Ability: Borrowing Arrows—Borrowing the opponent's extraordinary items for use.

"Negative Ability 1: Be polite—after activating the extraordinary ability, you must say thank you.

"Negative ability 2: Thousands of arrows piercing the body - when the supernatural ability is activated, the host will suffer the pain of thousands of arrows piercing the body.

"Is it bound?"

"The scarecrow who borrowed arrows from the straw boat, can this also become a supernatural item? But this supernatural ability is good. If you encounter a lantern next time, you may be able to 'borrow' the supernatural item he used to weave dreams!" Zhang Jichuan cheered up, just looking at the When it came to the negative ability, he was a little hesitant, "Thousands of arrows piercing through the body, how painful is it?"

He kept it in his mind for the time being and continued to read.

"Coslin Helmet", "Alexander Silver Coin", "Shih Tzu's Satin"...

Hundreds of supernatural items flashed through his mind one by one, and in the end there was nothing more suitable than Kong Ming's scarecrow.

"It's scary to be afraid of negative abilities. Right now, life is in danger at every turn. There's nothing to be afraid of if it hurts a little. Just bear it..."

Zhang Jichuan made up his mind and chose Kong Ming's scarecrow as his first extraordinary item.

Calling out Kong Ming's scarecrow, he softly shouted: "Bind!"

Suddenly, in a corner of the dark room, a solid scarecrow appeared and flew towards Zhang Jichuan in the center. The closer it was to Zhang Jichuan, it became smaller and lighter, as if it was about to turn into nothingness.

When it flew in front of Zhang Jichuan's eyebrows, it had completely disappeared from the naked eye.

However, from the perspective of the soul, Zhang Jichuan saw that the scarecrow had become huge and friendless, and he was embracing him with open arms...

boom!
There was a roar in my mind, like a thunderclap, and in the soul shock, Kong Ming's scarecrow and Zhang Jichuan were bound together as one, regardless of each other.

After the turmoil in the soul gradually subsided, Zhang Jichuan could clearly feel that there was an extra item in his soul, but he didn't feel any repulsion at all, the two were integrated into one.Even, Zhang Jichuan saw Kong Ming's scarecrow turned into a 'conductor', directing the power of the soul to run along a mysterious trajectory...

"Extraordinary items can speed up the cultivation of soul power, which refers to this kind of situation..." Zhang Jichuan 'seeed' this scene, blessed to the heart, "Even if I stop practicing in the future, supernatural items can also automatically 'hang up', allowing the power of the soul Slowly grow.

"However, support is support after all. The director said that active meditation is the most efficient.

"Well, I can't slack off. I have only completed one-ninth of my first-rank extraordinary road. According to the book, a first-rank extraordinary creature can bind nine first-rank extraordinary items. For each additional one bound, the soul power required will be reduced." To double.

"This is only the first rank, and when it reaches the second and third ranks, the soul power required is even more terrifying.

"As for the third grade, it is no longer a realm that can be achieved only by hard work, talent, adventure, and hard work are all indispensable.

"You don't need to even think about going up to the third rank. The director said that for thousands of years, there are only a handful of third rank powerhouses in the whole world..."

After countless thoughts flashed through his mind like a galloping horse, Zhang Jichuan opened his eyes, and with a thought, the power of his soul was released.

hum!
The power of the soul coming out of the body was condensed into substance, and turned into mysterious symbols in the back of his head. These symbols were connected end to end, forming a dark halo.

This halo has a name—soul light crown!
There are a total of nine special nodes on the black light crown, eight of which are vacant, and only one node is occupied by a small scarecrow.

The coronet of the soul turned slowly, calling Zhang Jichuan like a god walking out of a mural, he said softly: "I still have to design an action to summon supernatural objects. The director's summoning action seems to be stomping, and Teacher Liu Yiyi flicked it with his fingers. , Teacher Zhou Xinyi is drawing circles..."

After thinking about it, he guided the power of the soul to condense the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of his right hand, then aligned the thumb with the middle finger, stretched the index finger forward naturally, and rubbed the thumb and middle finger vigorously——

Snapped!
A crisp finger snap.

Electric arcs flickered at the fingertips, and Kong Ming's scarecrow came out from the crown of soul light behind his head, turned into a normal human height, and stood in front of Zhang Jichuan.

"That's it!"
