Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Chen Xi doesn't deny that the audience saved him.

However, you shouldn't believe everything the other person says just because of this.

In terms of time, the other party simply doesn't have enough time.

"The fact that Awakening Gate No. 4 is still there means that the identity of the fourth sequence has not yet been awakened. The earliest you should awaken should be after me."

"I've only been awakened for less than half a month. In such a short time, it's impossible for you to observe all nine remaining overlord sequences, especially since some of them haven't even been awakened yet."

Faced with Chen Xi's questioning, the uncle remained completely calm, as if he had already prepared a foolproof plan:

"Whether before or after awakening, the gate in the audience sequence will not disappear."

"It is the eternal observer."

The older man raised a key point:

"If you had pushed open door number four back then, you would have found that it was empty inside, because I had already taken away your identity as an audience member."

"The audience is a very special identity; their sole purpose seems to be observation, to be a spectator."

"Unlike the other doors, the audience members inside Door Four do not disappear after their identities are awakened."

"Instead, I will remain in the space of awakening, becoming an observer, which you can understand as my eyes."

"That's why I know which Awakened One is in each of the Overlord Sequences."

"I see, that's why you recognized me at a glance."

Chen Xi nodded. He had thought the audience also had extraordinary characteristics similar to lawyers, but it turned out they were seeing his handsome face when he awakened.

"That's right, but even if we knew what you all looked like, finding all nine of you would still be extremely difficult."

"Therefore, I spend most of my time wandering in this land."

"So, what's your age?"

Chen Xi raised a question: since Gate No. 4 had been awakened long ago, and the audience had seen all the extraordinary beings except the farmer, then his age must be quite high.

......

Shangjing City.

Pay-to-win martial arts school.

As the name suggests, this is a martial arts school that only the wealthy can afford.

Here, the minimum top-up amount for a membership card is 10,000.

The reason it's so expensive is because it gathers top inheritors of various famous martial arts schools from all over the world.

For example, Jeet Kune Do, Taekwondo, Karate, Wing Chun, and Kun Quan are well-known martial arts.

The Krypton Martial Arts Hall covers an area of ​​20,000 square meters and is built with a high-tech feel. Its overall shape resembles a futuristic alien insect.

There are eighteen receptionists inside, all of whom are girls who graduated from prestigious universities, and their looks are even better than those of art students.

Box No. 52.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

Zhou Xiaogu swung his stick one blow after another.

Looking at the instructor standing to the side, giving a series of thumbs-ups:

"A genius!"

"What a prodigy in stick fighting!"

"I never imagined that I, an old man nearing the end of my life, would encounter such a prodigy in my lifetime."

"Zhou Xiaogu, you are truly the most talented child I have ever seen in learning staff techniques!"

"He's practically born with a knack for using a stick!"

"Teacher Sun, does my young lady really have such a high aptitude for staff techniques?"

Butler Ye said with a hint of doubt.

In his view, Zhou Xiaogu was just good at playing the game, and there was nothing special about him.

He attributed his smooth performance to Zhou Xiaogu's ten years of dance training.

This resulted in her having good physical coordination, allowing her to wield various weapons like knives, spears, and sticks with impressive skill.

"some."

Teacher Sun nodded.

"Butler Ye, you're too inexperienced with stick fighting to see through it."

"Your young lady is gifted; in our jargon, she's a natural talent."

"If he had the potential to become a general in ancient times, it would have been no small feat."

"In today's peaceful world, although a girl like her can't fight and kill after learning stick fighting, weapons are all similar in some ways."

"She has no problem protecting herself when she's out and about."

"This is something that families like yours value most."

Butler Ye nodded habitually.

He understands very well that the first step in interacting with people is to gain their approval, and only then can he ask questions.

"Self-defense is indeed very important."

"But Teacher Sun, can girls really use martial arts for self-defense?"

"Instead of simply improving physical fitness?"

"Although I'm a bit older, I still surf the internet frequently to learn new things."

"There is usually only one conclusion regarding women learning martial arts."

"The thug's excited punch!"

Teacher Sun nodded noncommittally:

"For other girls, the ultimate goal of learning martial arts might be to entertain criminals."

"But your young lady really can kill!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

Zhou Xiaogu continued to swing the long stick with all her might, her clothes already soaked with sweat.

Her attention was so focused that everything around her seemed to disappear from her sight.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaogu was practicing a "martial art" called the Holy King Staff Technique.

This is the power she possessed in her previous life; the martial art has four forms.

First move: Stand out from the crowd; Second move: Perilous situation; Third move: Straight to the heart of the enemy; Fourth move: Flood the army.

Now she is practicing the first move at the martial arts school: Unique Style!

Because it was a staff technique from another world, even Sun Liukong, who was known as a master of staff techniques, couldn't discern anything from it.

It worked!

Zhou Xiaogu's eyes suddenly narrowed.

That warm feeling also appeared when I performed the first move of the Holy King Staff Technique.

And the feeling is much stronger than when reading a novel!

This means that my initial guess was correct; becoming stronger by reading novels is not the only way.

"Teacher Sun."

Having achieved his goal, Zhou Xiaogu approached the stick-fighting master respectfully.

"I really like stick fighting, and I'll come over every Monday and Wednesday after school and on weekends to ask you for guidance."

"Okay, okay!"

Teacher Sun smiled with satisfaction.

After Zhou Xiaogu finished speaking, he looked at Butler Ye:

"Uncle Ye, I won't let it interfere with my studies."

Butler Ye smiled:

"Miss, what I worry about most has always been your health, not your studies."

"I'm glad you like martial arts and have talent for it."

Zhou Xiaogu smiled and hummed in agreement.

In this way, she can read novels at home and practice the stick fighting techniques from her previous life when she goes out.

Another discovery she made was that she didn't see any people with abnormal lifespans on their heads when she went out today.

It seems that such people are few and far between.

......

"70 years old."

The uncle spoke very frankly.

"70?"

Chen Xi and Yang Wei asked the same question in unison.

Soon, Chen Xi thought of something:

"Does the lifespan of extraordinary individuals increase as they advance through different stages?"

"Won't."

"The lifespan of superhumans is no different from that of normal people."

"At most, he'll live to be a little over 100."

"But those hypocrites, their lifespan far exceeds ours."

The uncle, unsurprised, said:

"You're so surprised simply because of my appearance."

"But this is actually an ability of the audience's extraordinary characteristic, the 'observer.' When I'm in an observer state, the aging of my appearance slows down by half."

"So he looks 35, but he's actually 70."

"To be honest, I've been quite lonely. I've spent 60 years as an observer, witnessing the vicissitudes of life."

and many more!

Chen Xi was suddenly shocked by these words:

"etc!"

"60?"

"In other words, you awakened your identity as an observer when you were 15, and then spent 60 years alone in the state of an observer, until today you have upgraded to the stage II dreamer."

"right."

Seeing the older man admit it so easily, Chen Xi wore an even more incredulous expression:

"But isn't the Black Tower only 50 years old?"

"How could your awakening occur earlier than the appearance of the Black Tower?"
