Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 60 Qualification Determination
Yan Qi's face looked darker than the bottom of the pot: "You are so fucking talented!"

"Is my mind going wrong?"

The Impermanence Law Envoy cursed loudly: "You stupid fool who pretends to be smart!"

The person with super powers does not give in: "You self-righteous idiot!"

The two almost got into a fight, but this time, Tianji took a rare step back.He walked in the living room with his hands behind his back, meditating without saying a word, not even noticing that his slippers had stepped on a few large shoe prints on the white rice paper.

After going back and forth like this for two times, Yan Qi finally spoke again: "Don't think about it, and don't ask, understand?"

Gongsun Ce frowned tightly.

Don't think is to let him not think about the common ground of other mental states, don't ask is to let him not explore why he can't do this?

Such an approach is too contrary to common sense. Generally speaking, being able to summarize laws from phenomena is a manifestation of "talent".But now that I just tried to sum it up, Yan Qi made such a response, as if he touched some taboo...

Taboo... A concept tabooed by everyone... The object of his summary is the dragon worshiper... The vicious envoy...?
The gray-haired young man pushed down his glasses: "Too much research will become vicious and crazy?"

The tall man sneered: "Nonsense! You have such a poor memory at such a young age, and you forgot about Madman Long in less than two weeks?"

"I thought they got that way when they met a dragon."

"Of course they are! It's a pity that it's not just giant dragons that drive people crazy. There are also a lot of people in this world who learn the art of slaying dragons and make themselves crazy." Yan Qi shook his head, "It's rare for me to start doubting my decision... …It’s hard to say that it’s not a good thing for you, a smart kid, to remain ignorant like this!”

What is the law of impermanence? Have you learned the magic way to lower your IQ?

People with superpowers can't help but sigh, they will go crazy when they see giant dragons, and they will go crazy after learning the dragon slaying technique. Is there any way for normal people to survive in this world?

"Tsk... just stand here and don't move."

Yan Qi pointed at the weird formation on the ground.

Occupying the center of the paper is a hollow circle big enough for a person to stand on, with seven crooked curves drawn on its sides.There are 15 grids next to each curve, which are divided into ten square boxes and five star shapes, and there is no obvious meaning.

Next to the rice paper are a few large shoe prints that have just been stepped on.

Gongsun Ce stood in the middle of the circle and asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

Yan Qi took two steps with his hands behind his back: "Do you like sweet or salty tofu?"

"……what?"

"Next question, are you gay or straight?"

"Are you sick?"

Surprisingly, Yan Qi didn't scold him this time.Impermanence just paused, and then asked a new question: "Which is more important, the standard of justice in the general sense or personal preference?"

"The former... most of the time."

Actually the latter.

"Would you like mooncakes with five kernels or egg yolk and lotus paste?"

"Chives and eggs."

This is also a lie.

Gongsun Ce answered Yan Qi's questions one after another in confusion.These questions run the gamut from philosophical myths to food tastes.And he didn't answer honestly one by one—telling the truth all seemed the same as interrogating prisoners.

Gongsun Ce dealt with it with half nonsense and half serious answers, until Yan Qi stopped and announced: "The aptitude test is over!"

"... Qualification? What qualification?"

Yan Qi sneered: "Can it still be a test of your martial arts aptitude? Impermanence aptitude!"

Is the impermanence qualification test the same as the psychological test?
He really didn't see the technical content of the question and answer just now. The questionnaires he did for homework in high school were all more decent than that.

As if aware of his doubts, the middle-aged painter added: "How you respond to questions can show what kind of person you are, and that determines what kind of mentality you are good at. Come out! See if you, Gongsun Ce, can become What kind of impermanence."

The gray-haired young man walked out frowning, and asked, "Are you so sure that I have the talent of impermanence?"

Generally speaking, you should first judge whether the person has qualifications, and then study the direction that you should study.But what Yan Qi did this time seemed to have already determined that he was a man to be made.

It doesn't make sense, people with superpowers never believe they are geniuses.This guy with eyes above the top has always looked down on other people, how come he trusts himself so much this time?

"Nonsense, I'm an expert."

Experts have no intention of explaining at all.He grabbed the brush from the floor and drew a vertical line on the hollow circle in the middle: "Scatter!"

Seven different symbols appeared at the end of the seven curves at the same time.Yan Qi first placed his pen on the line closest to the two of them, and the symbol at the end was a mess of lines, like a ball of yarn that had been trampled in the hands of a cat.

Only one square of the box next to this line was stained with ink, and the rest of the squares were normal.

"Disaster aspect 1, it fits your personality very well."

The next line ends in a scattered dot of ink that looks like sesame seeds on a biscuit.Similarly, only one box next to this line is black.

"Odd appearance 1. Tsk tsk, where is the shrinking turtle?"

"Turtle, right? You punch me."

Yan Qi dodged a straight fist.The third curve ends in a complex pattern of geometry and line segments, reminiscent of a gate floating on a river.

This time the box was filled with two, and the artist said with emotion: "Vanxiang 2! Donkey!!"

Gongsun Ce couldn't care less about being annoyed, he just felt it was a pity this time.

He still wants the ability of the space-time system.But 10 out of 2 grids are black, which shouldn't be considered a symbol of talent.

The next place pointed by the pen tip is an abstract human face, the corner of the left half of the mouth is curled up, and the right half of the eyebrow is down, a strange appearance of crying and laughing.

The superhuman looked half expectantly and half anxiously at the line.He saw that the box of ghost noodles was quickly filled, and in the blink of an eye, 8 of them were dyed black.Not only that, the star shape that had been silent before was filled with 4 stars this time!
Gongsun Ce said excitedly, "I'm so talented...?"

He found that Yan Qi was squinting and staring at him, like a white-collar worker who came out of an office building and saw a dinosaur looking up.

"I knew it. Wild phase -12."

"How can it be negative?!"

"You don't want to touch a little barbarian in the future."

Yan Qi pointed to the fifth line with a sullen face. The symbol of this line is a half-open eye among many wavy lines.

The person with superpowers stared at this symbol for a long time, feeling a little familiar.But he immediately remembered Yan Qi's previous advice, and immediately stopped thinking.

This time the blanks were filled a little slower than before, 6 squares were blacked out, and 4 stars were blacked out under Gongsun Ce's uneasy eyes.

"This is, -10?"

Impermanence made him look him up and down.

"I think you are still some distance away from autism?"

"I consider myself a cheerful young man."

"Usually life is quite tiring, huh?"

Yan Qi muttered something inexplicably, pointing the brush towards the penultimate line.

The symbol for this line is a stick figure like an ore mountain, the same size as the other 6, but it is extremely detailed.This time the box is filled with 7, and none of the doji lights up.

"Empty 7! It's about the same as I estimated."

What this line marks is the method of emptiness, and Gongsun Ce couldn't help thinking of the ability he inherited.

"...Is it because of the white matter?"

"The ability after inheritance is folded in half, and it should be at this level." The impermanence master squeezed his chin and walked to the last curve.

The symbol at the end of this curve is a sharp sword.Extending three black lines from the hilt, it looks like a twisted cross-shaped long sword.

No matter how hard Gongsun Ce restrained his thinking, it was impossible for him not to recognize this overly familiar symbol.

"The end sword?"

"Do not talk."

After pondering for a long time, Yan Qi added a brush to draw a big circle around the rice paper, and then tapped the brush as before.

"Lonely."

The square frame was completely filled in an instant, and the ink color rushed over the star-shaped marks, dyeing a total of 15 marks in pitch black.The black filling the logo stagnated for a moment, and then completely broke out of the border of the logo, spreading to the entire rice paper!
The black ink covered up everything that Yan Qi had painted, and in the center of the aptitude determination array turned into a distorted and frantic cross star. The ominous black was churning endlessly, and it seemed that it was about to jump out of the paper and come into reality world.

In just a few seconds, the black mark more than doubled in size.On the rice paper that only has two colors of black and white, its edge reveals a different color that should not exist, like blood-like crimson...

"receive."

Yan Qi moved the brush to the center of the paper, and the big circle drawn earlier converged towards the center.The cross was shattered under the siege of the circular arc, and the ink that used to be a formation was squeezed into an inconspicuous dot in the middle of the rice paper.

Without saying a word, the tall man stomped on it a few times, tearing the large rice paper into pieces.

Gongsun Ce raised his finger and pointed at himself: "This, it's none of my business, right?"

"Fart!" Yan Qi kicked the shredded paper all over the floor, "The influence of the end sword is behind, if you measure it in front, then he X is yourself!"

The middle-aged painter stared at him with his hands behind his back: "Jixiang-15! No, are you dissatisfied with the current world? Do you have big opinions about society?"

"I just risked my life to save the world two weeks ago and you're asking me this?!"

"I don't look like it either, so what are you... ah...! I'm stupid!"

Yan Qi cursed and scuffed his hair into a bird's nest.

He seemed to suddenly understand something, but Gongsun Ce didn't have the time to guess what the man's riddle meant.He asked eagerly, "What do you mean by negative aptitude?"

"It means that you are so talented that there is a high probability that you will become a vicious envoy!" Yan Qi scolded, "Before you even started learning, something went wrong in your heart. You really have to blame, Gongsun boy! Usually, you will go crazy after learning impermanence. Why did you go crazy like this before you learned it? Before the mental hospital sent you an admission invitation, you went to the dean's room and sat there, huh?"

The gray-haired youth was dumbfounded.He imagined how he would look like with long hairs all over his body after he had finished his studies, his eyes bewildered and his mouth grumbling, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"...Don't I still have the talent of Kongxiang 7?"

"Your situation may be worse if you study empty phases... Tsk... I have to discuss it." Yan Qi waved his hands irritably, "I'm here first today. You go back and write a letter to the Dawn Knight to explain the situation. I will wait for the reply. It’s good to make a decision.”

Gongsun Ce jumped up.

"why?!"

The tall man smacked his lips irritably: "Stop talking nonsense, just write if you tell me!"

"I won't do it, you can ask yourself, I'm leaving."

The gray-haired youth ran away, but was grabbed by the shoulder by Tianji.

"Where do you come from such a big resistance, huh?"

The superpower couldn't take it anymore: "None of your business!"

Yan Qi clicked his tongue and made an extremely unpleasant sound.

"Gongsun boy, it's been three years..."

He walked around the gray-haired young man twice, and said in a strange voice, "You haven't even written a letter to her, have you?"
