In the Divine Judgment Court, everything here is incompatible with the breathtakingly beautiful scenery of the Divine Realm. As the darkest place in the God's Domain, cruel training goes on every day and every night. The children within the high walls are constantly crying and shouting due to the physical and mental pain and suffering they endure.
From the outside, the high wall looks covered with thorns and vines. Two kinds of black and dark green plants are intertwined, which also isolates this place from the outside world into two worlds. Before she even stepped into the gate of the Divine Judgement Court, Xiao Yueqin heard a cry for help coming from inside. It was a cry close to despair.
"Ah, please kill me, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a second anymore! Please, someone come and save me!"
Little Yueqin couldn't help but tremble. She looked up at Qingyuan and saw that his face was still cold and numb. She didn't even frown. She just said calmly: "I advise you no matter what you go through. You have to grit your teeth and endure the pain, because crying will not bring you any benefits, nor can it solve any problems. It will only deduct points from your final evaluation. Since you have to endure all this no matter what, it is better to Hide your tears and shouts deep in your heart and become a truly strong person, so that your suffering will not be in vain."
Although these words sounded so cold-blooded and ruthless at first, Xiao Yueqin still vaguely felt that this was Qingyuan's way of expressing concern for her. For some reason, at that moment she saw the shadow of her father Changqin in Qingyuan's body. . So she nodded silently, mustered up the courage to follow him and walked behind the black door of the Divine Judgment Court.
Qingyuan is not the only teacher in the Divine Judgment Institute. There are four teachers here. Qingyuan is the teacher who is responsible for guiding everyone to improve their strength. There is also a female teacher Yanlang who teaches everyone how to suppress the demonic nature in themselves. The other two Teachers Lanzhi and Xukong trained their fighting skills and physical endurance.
The scariest class is physical endurance training, and most of the cries heard from beyond the walls come from this class. The ultimate goal of this kind of training is to enable them to never stop fighting no matter what kind of trauma they suffer as long as they don't fall down.
Although Xiao Yueqin is the youngest of this group of children, the oldest of the other children is only eight or nine years old. They are forced to train or compete constantly, and then are subjected to various kinds of physical abuse until their bodies are in an extremely exhausted state. Due to trauma, many children will not be able to help crying and asking for help at this moment, and some even cannot bear it anymore and want to end this cruel training by committing suicide.
She remembered what her father Changqin and her teacher Qingyuan said before she entered the Divine Sentence Court. No matter how painful her body was, she never shed a single tear. As she endured day after day, her reaction to pain became slower. , and can no longer make any expressions.
Feng Lan and she happened to meet in the Divine Judgment Court. It was her first class when she entered the Divine Judgment Court. Under Qingyuan's deliberate arrangement, she first learned how to suppress the demonic nature in her body with Yan Lang, because he felt that Yue Qin was young and had just come here, so she needed an adaptation process, and Yan Lang's class was obviously the easiest among all the classes. of.
After changing into the same beige clothes and pants as other students at her residence, Xiao Yueqin was taken to Yan Lang's class. This class was held in the shelter in the Divine Judgement Courtyard that looked most similar to other places in the Divine Realm. When Xiao Yueqin arrived, most of the other students had already arrived, except for one person who didn't show up.
Yan Lang is a very beautiful woman, with beautiful temples neatly tied on top of her head, with only a brown wooden hairpin inserted into it. Her facial features are delicate, and her slender neck and figure are dressed in white, which adds to her celestial spirit. When Xiao Yueqin came, she was frowning slightly and asked a girl in front of her: "Where is that boy Feng Lan? Where did he go to again?"
"I saw him in class just now, but I didn't know about him after that." The girl responded timidly.
At this time, Qingyuan led Xiao Yueqin forward and said to Yan Lang, "Yan Lang, this is the new kid."
"Oh, I know, your name is Yue Qin, right?" Yan Lang spread his eyebrows and asked Xiao Yue Qin with a smile.
"Yes!" Xiao Yueqin, still holding the huge guqin, responded.
She heard the children not far away starting to whisper after seeing her:
"Look, what is she holding?"
"It looks so weird!"
"Here comes another freak!"
"Hehehe, shush..."
Yan Lang naturally turned to the group of children and said: "This is called Guqin, and it is this child's weapon. Don't underestimate this Qin. The most skilled players can use it to control other people's minds and actions. One day she will be free to hide or summon her, and use the music it plays to defeat powerful enemies."
Although the children seemed to understand, they could not help showing expressions of wonder and no longer laughed at the guqin that Xiao Yueqin was holding.
The girl who was questioned by Yan Lang just now suddenly reminded: "Teacher, Feng Lan is here!"
Following the direction of her finger, a boy who was taller than the other children swayed over from a distance, with a sleepy look on his face. It looked like he had just woken up after taking a nap somewhere. When he saw Yan Lang and Qingyuan, he saluted, and then turned his attention to Xiao Yueqin standing beside them. He measured it with his hand from the top of his head to the top of Xiao Yueqin's head, and then he suddenly got excited and said, "It's so short!"
Although Xiao Yueqin was angry, she still held back and did not vent her anger.
"She is new here to learn, and her name is Yue Qin. You are the biggest one here, so you have to take more care of her in the future!" Yan Lang shook his head helplessly and said to Feng Lan.
"Oh! Don't worry, teacher, leave this sister to me!" Feng Lan responded, still looking at Xiao Yueqin intently.
The little girl holding the guqin seemed like a doll in his eyes. Her round grape-like eyes and pink-white face were extremely delicate, but she had no expression. She looked so beautiful, but it also made people feel fragile, and he couldn't help but want to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt.
"Don't take her to be lazy with you!" Yan Lang said half-jokingly.
From then on, Xiao Yueqin lived in the Divine Judgement Courtyard. Training is painful, and even though she has been there for a long time, she has never been used to this kind of training, or in other words, she will never get used to such pain. It’s just that she learned not to think about it. She worked harder than anyone else. Even after the regular training, she would always take the initiative to ask to be stayed and let the teacher continue to guide her, because she always remembered what Qingyuan had said to her. As she said, she couldn't let others wait for her. She had to catch up with everyone's progress, but what she pursued was to surpass others.
There will always be a boy much taller than her who will stay with her, and that is Feng Lan. Although she never asked him to do this, he would always appear by her side silently, giving her a hand when she was weak, or encouraging her with a smile.
Feng Lan is the strongest among all the children, and he has extraordinary mental strength. No matter what kind of pain his body endures, he always has a trademark bright smile on his face. His smile is Xiao Yueqin's favorite. It is also one of the only pieces of warmth in this dark Divine Judgment Court.
Eight years of study passed by in a blink of an eye. Just as Yan Lang predicted, Yueqin had already been able to summon and hide her guqin at will, and had developed the ability to suppress her own demonic nature or control and attack enemies with music, and because of her fingers Her flexibility and keen sense of the strings make the metal wire one of her most powerful weapons.
It's a pity that her excessive patience made her lose all her emotions and expressions, but it also made her powerful in the eyes of her opponents. When they found that no moves or damage could make her flinch or show a trace of her strength. When she has a look of fear or pain, the impact is overwhelming, which is why she, who was the last to arrive at the Divine Sentence Court, can become the only strong contender for the spot of the Four Divine Sentences.
In the blink of an eye, the students in the Divine Judge Academy faced the final test. This was the moment that decided their fate. Whether they could become the Divine Judge meant their future life or death. Therefore, even though their long-term living and learning together have made them each other's pillars and partners, they will never relent in the face of trials.
At this time, the students have grown into teenagers. At the beginning of the test, they were divided into four groups, with ten people in each group. The entire test process will last for three days and three nights without interruption. Feng Lan was not able to be in the same group as Yue Qin. This was their luck, but it also made them worry about each other.
The first day is a test about endurance, hosted by Vukong, and six people in each group will be eliminated; the second day is a test about suppressing demonic nature, hosted by Yan Lang, and two more people will be eliminated out of the remaining four in each group. In the end, the only eight people left in the four groups were drawn into four teams and entered into the actual combat test hosted by Qingyuan, and the four winners in the end will get the position of the Four Divine Judges.
Yueqin passed the test on the first and second days smoothly, but encountered a problem on the third day. The girl she was placed in the same team with was Er Gu. She knew that Gu's strength was not as good as hers, which meant that she would personally take away Gu's chance of survival, which made her hesitate and suffer from it.
Before the competition started, Qingyuan came to them. Eight years have passed, and he is still the same as before, without any change. He said in an extremely calm tone: "Although this is your last competition, I hope you can all do your best to defeat your opponent, because this is a duel." A kind of respect with the opponent. Mercy at the moment may allow the opponent to escape disaster, but they will still be unable to escape the fate of dying in battle in the future.”
Although Yue Qin understood Qingyuan's words, she still had concerns. Until the moment she raised her head, she faced Feng Lan's gaze and smile. From his mouth, she saw the word "must win". She also wanted to respond to him with a smile, but she couldn't control her facial nerves to raise the corners of her mouth, so she could only give him a slight nod.
Yue Qin won the competition with Gu without any suspense. For such a result, Gu did not blame her, but was full of gratitude. As the one who could not reach the top no matter how hard he tried, Gu finally ushered in his own liberation.
Feng Lan also defeated his opponent without any surprise, and the remaining two were Yin Zhen and Meng Er. Yin Zhen was the second strongest boy in the Divine Judgement Court besides Feng Lan, and Meng Er, as a woman, had the same abilities as Yue Qin. Indistinguishable.
This is the beginning of their era as the Four Divine Judges. The four people who have undergone special training can be said to be invincible and invincible strong men. No matter what kind of monster they are, they are no match for them. Their cooperation is flawless. After experiencing life and death together, a deeper brotherhood has developed among the four of them.
The relationship between Feng Lan and Yue Qin has also undergone essential changes in the long period of coexistence. The hidden pain in their hearts and the loneliness they still feel despite being with each other are the bud of love and the beginning of tragedy.
