Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 176 Opening Ceremony!
In fact, the two of them were standing on the street talking just now, and the passers-by didn't even see Yaizhen at all.

It's probably a form of invisibility.

But then again——

He has been testing himself from beginning to end. Xu Xingke is so thoughtful.

His temperament is indeed a good match for Yaizhen.

——The anger will be repaid.

Shen Ye thought silently in his heart.

He subconsciously caught the floating card.

After passing through Xu Xingke's hands, this card from the Tower of Tarot became different again.

Shen Ye on the playing card has an additional special effect——

A faint light appeared behind him, turning into a translucent shape like wings.

A few lines of small words stay next to his character:

"Tower of Tarot, preliminary member."

"Mentor: Xu Xingke (miner)."

"Your mentor is quite special. This registration information will be reported to the Tarot Tower, and all information registration will be completed within 24 hours."

"Note: The identities of any members of the Tower of Tarot are kept confidential."

"——Waiting for Principal Xirang to confirm the admission of new students and add them to the new list."

ha?
I don’t even know what the Tower of Tarot is, so I became a preliminary member?
Shen Ye was a little excited and a little nervous.

Several lines of small words continued to appear on the card:

"You've completed the entire training camp."

"Now you are an official Xirang High School student."

"The timetable will be announced at the end of this week."

"Next-"

"At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, please arrive at the auditorium on time to attend the opening ceremony!"

Shen Ye looked at the time.

1:35 p.m.

What are you waiting for? Go back to school quickly!
Shen Ye crossed the road and returned to the World Museum. Using the card swipe machine, he entered the depths of the museum and found the "under construction" room.

The room was empty except for a fire hydrant standing in the corner.

Shen Ye walked over and circled around the fire hydrant, and immediately there was a staircase extending downwards under his feet.

He walked down the stairs to the end and opened the door.

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

There is an extremely majestic city wall in the distance——

They are like the Great Wall, standing high in the blue sky, blocking everyone's sight.

It is said that the city wall has some special protective effect.

Outside the city wall is a real cliff.

Under the cliff is the world-famous Tomb Abyss.

For countless years, countless powerful human beings have been exploring the tomb one after another, but so far they have only scratched the surface.

Within the city walls.

Palaces with carved beams and painted buildings gathered together to form what is now Xirang High School.

On the playground.

The students gathered together in twos and threes.

Guo Yunye was the first to see Shen Ye.

"Hey! Old Shen - I have good news for you!"

He ran over excitedly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"I have a mentor." Guo Yunye said loudly.

"Congratulations." Shen Ye said.

"It's not a question of congratulations or not. It's that I can finally help you in the future. You saved me and Yi during the joint entrance exam for three schools. When I become stronger, I will help you fight in the future."

Guo Yunye showed off non-existent muscles on his arms.

Shen Ye couldn't help laughing.

This baby is dark and thin, but he always remembers that he was saved once and often shows his kindness to him.

Okay.

Who doesn't like to have more true friends?

"Then I'll follow you and you'll protect me in the future." Shen Ye patted his shoulder.

"I will definitely! By the way, Ayi also has a mentor." Guo Yunye said.

Zhang Xiaoyi came over, pushed Guo Yunye's head hard, and cursed:

"You are stupid. I am a descendant of the Huntian Sect and I need you to protect me!"

He apologized to Shen Ye again: "He can't speak out of his head. Shen Ye, don't take it to your heart."

"It's okay, I know he means well." Shen Ye smiled.

He looked around the palace complex and asked in a low voice:
"These are our teaching buildings and dormitories?"

"Stop talking about the canteen." Guo Yunye added.

"There are also martial arts arenas, spell training rooms, libraries, antique showrooms, equipment warehouses, and mecha centers." Zhang Xiaoyi added.

"There seems to be more than one. There are quite a lot of buildings." Shen Ye said.

“Some are not open to students.”

"And some buildings are said to be dangerous."

Guo Yunye and Zhang Xiaoyi looked at each other.

"What? What are you looking at?" Shen Ye couldn't understand.

——I am not at school at night, and I lived separately from everyone during the previous training camp, so I don’t know many rumors.

"I heard that there is a building that is alive." Guo Yunye said quietly.

"That's strange." Shen Ye nodded.

"There is another building that is dead - it is more dangerous." Seeing his interest, Guo Yunye said quietly again.

dead?

What a good death!

If you have anything to do later, ask it.

"Which building is it?" Shen Ye asked with interest.

"I don't know." Guo Yunye and Zhang Xiaoyi said in unison.

A beautiful person passed in front of the three people.

Nangong Sirui.

"What's wrong with him?" Shen Ye asked inexplicably.

"I don't know." Zhang Xiaoyi glanced at Guo Yunye.

Guo Yunye whispered: "He just broke the record, but soon someone else broke his record - during the tutor assessment."

"Hey, how come you know everything?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Today he is a spy dog." Zhang Xiaoyi whispered.

"That's not right," Shen Ye asked curiously, "Won't he forget that he is a human after he transforms?" "His mentor solved this problem." Zhang Xiaoyi said.

"Sure enough, having a mentor is different." Shen Ye praised.

"I have grown up too, Shen Ye, I will catch up with you." Zhang Xiaoyi said firmly.

"Okay, let's make progress together."

"Of course!"

At this time, the gathering began on the playground.

Boys and girls each stand in a team.

Shen Ye stood in the middle of the team, with Xiao Mengyu on the left and Nangong Sirui on the right.

Colonel Wu stood in front of the team and said loudly:

"The freshman orientation ceremony begins now."

"Now, I would like to ask the principal to speak to everyone. Everyone is welcome!"

There was a burst of warm applause.

In the sky, a figure suddenly fell down, hovering in front of the freshmen team, and said:

"welcome everybody."

Everyone looked intently and saw that it was a man wearing a black official robe. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties. His eyebrows were like ink, his face was like jade, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Shen Ye suddenly discovered that Xiao Mengyu and Nangong Sirui on his left and right both tensed up.

……what's the situation?
“Judge…” Nangong Sirui murmured in a low voice, seeming to be quite envious.

"It's the judge. I never thought I could see him in person." Xiao Mengyu also said.

Judge?

Shen Ye looked at the man again.

This time, he saw the line of entries above the other person's head:
"Judge of Hades."

"Description: A powerful person who is recognized by the Dharma Realm and can serve as a judge in the world of the living."

Official position in the underworld!

There are actually living people in this world who can hold the power over the underworld!
Shen Ye was extremely shocked.

The man was seen making a seal with one hand.

All of a sudden.

Red lights appeared all around the square, and turned into bricks and tiles to build a magnificent and solemn auditorium.

The man landed on the platform and said with a smile:

"Dear freshmen, I am your principal, Qiu Wanshu."

"I hope you will enjoy your time in Xirang, study hard, and work hard."

"By the way, the first year is very easy. Generally, there is no danger of death. Please rest assured."

There was silence underneath.

Everyone is thinking in their hearts——

What does “generally there is no risk of death” mean?
So there is still danger, right!
The principal cleared his throat and said:

"I know that some of you have gained 'names' and some of you have not; some of you have gained mentors and some of you have not."

“Do not be proud, and do not be discouraged.”

“I didn’t have a mentor back then, but I still made it through, didn’t I?”

Shen Ye heard two "tsk" sounds in his ears.

This voice contained some complex emotions.

Turning around, I saw Xiao Mengyu and Nangong Sirui.

"what's the situation?"

Shen Ye asked quietly.

Xiao Mengyu turned his head and said in a low voice:
"Twenty years ago, when he entered the school, he did not receive the favor of any instructor for two consecutive years. In anger, he went to the Tomb Abyss alone, killed hundreds of ghosts, and returned victorious."

"After that, he gained the 'name' of 'ghost messenger', and many powerful people wanted to be his mentor."

"—he turned those people down."

"So that's how it is." Shen Ye suddenly realized.

On the podium, Qiu Wanshu continued his speech:

"Now let me introduce you to the first-year public course teachers."

"First, we would like to invite our history teacher, Mr. Dong, a highly respected old teacher from Xirang High School, who once slept in the great tomb!"

The words fell.

Four soldiers carried a coffin and staggered up to the platform.

"Mr. Dong, please say a few words for our freshmen."

Qiu Wanshu said.

A dull voice came from the coffin:

"Well... learning history will help you understand the things buried underground, what stories they have, and their corresponding historical value."

"You will learn a lot about the history of human civilization, so when you go to the tomb, at least you won't be at a loss."

"Students, I hope you will all listen carefully in class."

"If a student talks or skips class, I will lock him in a coffin and bury him deep underground."

"I'm done."

There was a dead silence.

what……

If you talk in class, you will be put in a coffin and buried underground?
Isn't this a bit too much?

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

There was a round of applause.

The freshmen looked over and saw the principal, Qiu Wanshu, clapping and saying:

"Teacher Dong said it well, let's all applaud him!"

There was a burst of sparse applause.

The coffin was carried away.

"Now, please invite the lecturer of armor and weapons, Comrade Yao Wang, to speak to everyone."

Qiu Wanshu said.

Six soldiers carried a huge alchemy furnace into the auditorium and slowly placed it on the platform with a muffled "dong" sound.

——It’s very heavy!

Shen Ye looked carefully and saw that the alchemy furnace was dark with many mottled scratches on it. The original words and patterns were also scraped flat and could no longer be distinguished.

A voice sounded from the alchemy furnace:

"Classmates, I am sealed in the furnace, or I will eat you."

Dead silence.

The freshmen stared at each other with wide eyes.

You heard that right.

It said it wanted to eat us?
"Good! Applause!"

Qiu Wanshu led the applause.
