C1 The Top Scholar of Thunder

Zhang Xiaoloong was lying on the bed, his chest feeling hot again, as if there was a fire burning there.

This was already the fifth day. No, to be precise, it was the fifth day after he gained consciousness. Before this, even he himself was not sure how long he had been unconscious.

He only remembered that day when he sat on Jiang Liu's tricycle, he was going to the county to drive to Yanjing.

At that time, he was carrying the admission notice from Yanjing University in his arms. Beside him was Lu Xiaoya, who had gone to the Yanjing with him. Behind her was a large group of villagers who had sent them off.

All these years, the countryside was no longer the same as before. It was rare to have a university student, but it was the first time in so many years that there were two university students in a village at the same time.

More importantly, Zhang Xiaoloong was still the first in the entire country to obtain the overall college entrance examination score. He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Even the leaders of the city had personally come to Zhang Xiaoloong's house to express their condolences. It was no wonder that the village had made such a solemn scene to send him home.

748 points. In the college entrance examination with a total score of 750 points, this was indeed a score that shocked all the examinees in the country. It also made Zhang Xiaoloong quite proud of it.

But now that he thought about it, this score was full of sarcasm. 748 points, go to hell! And it was lightning that rolled to the ground...

On the way to the county town, the originally clear sky was ten thousand miles away. There was not even a trace of clouds in the blue sky. For some reason, a loud thunder came down and landed on Zhang Xiaoloong's body.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoloong fell headfirst and did not know anything.

Later, five days ago, he gradually regained consciousness. Although he could not move and could not even open his eyes, he could still hear the conversation between his parents.

From his intermittent words, he understood one thing.

At that time, among the dozens of people in the group, no one had seen where Lei had come from. However, in the end, he was the only one who had been struck by Lei Pi.

Therefore, there were all kinds of rumors spreading in Qinghe Village. Some said that it was because the Zhang family's ancestors did not have enough merits. Some said that they could not bear the fortune of being the top scholar, and some said that Zhang Xiaoloong had committed a crime in his previous life. Some said that Zhang Xiaoloong had been possessed by something. Otherwise, this silly child would have been able to get into the top scholar. His son knew how to pass a note to the little girl when he was in junior high school. Why couldn't he do it?

When his father, Zhang Daniu, was muttering these rumors to his mother, Liu Mei, his tone was filled with indescribable anger. It was no wonder that his father, the top scholar, had been surrounded by people to congratulate him. Now, everyone knew about him. When everyone saw him, they would hide in the corners and secretly discuss him. No one could bear the feeling of being surrounded by Lei Pi's monstrous father.

However, what made Zhang Daniu even angrier was that his son had become like this. Those people outside were still slandering and slandering him.

Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoloong didn't really care. He would let them say whatever they wanted. He only wanted to know what exactly was going on with him. What exactly had entered his chest?

That's right. Zhang Xiaoloong clearly remembered that when Lei Pi came down, there seemed to be something very heavy smashing into his body. Although this was unbelievable, he was sure that he remembered correctly. And right now, that burning sensation in his chest should also be caused by the thing that had smashed into his body.

But what exactly was that thing? How could it have followed Lei Pi and been hit by such a heavy thing? Why didn't it die? There were so many questions that he had no answers to.

Just as he was thinking, the burning sensation suddenly intensified. The skin on his chest was violently beating, as if that thing was going to be separated from his body again.

"Hmm..." A muffled sound came from Zhang Xiaoloong's throat. His hands suddenly grabbed onto the bed sheet, and his eyes widened.

At this moment, he had recovered part of his ability to move.

But now, he didn't have time to be happy, because his chest felt like it was being burned. He could only try his best to resist. Although it was very painful, he didn't want to faint again this time. Otherwise, he really did not know if he could wake up.

Just as he gritted his teeth and persisted, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, several beams of light shot out from his chest.

The rays of light weren't dazzling. Instead, they were very dense and gentle, but it was enough to shock Zhang Xiaoloong to the point that he couldn't close his mouth. He even forgot about the intense pain just now.

Within the gentle earthen yellow rays of light, a simple and unadorned black four-legged cauldron slowly appeared from the middle. It looked like a phantom image, but it gave people a very realistic feeling.

In just two to three breaths of time, the light and the tiny cauldron disappeared like phantoms and returned to Zhang Xiaoloong's body.

Zhang Xiaoloong's two hands searched his body up and down, but he did not touch anything.

He opened his chest, and there was a mark of a small four-legged cauldron on his skin. Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, the mark also gradually disappeared, and his skin returned to its original appearance, not even a black dot could be seen.

Zhang Xiaoloong touched his forehead. He was the top scorer in the college entrance exam, and had read a lot of miscellaneous books. However, in this situation, he really did not know how to explain it.

If the scene just now was seen by others, it would scare people to death, not to mention... His identity as a demon would definitely not be erased. If it was a bit more serious, perhaps there would be some special department that would arrest him. Cutting him up for research and whatnot.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoloong rubbed his forehead again. He did not want to be a lab rat. He must not let others know about this.

"Is Brother Big Ox home?"

Just as Zhang Xiaoloong's mind was in a mess and was thinking about how to deal with the changes that happened to him, a familiar voice came from outside. It was Lu Xiaoya's father, Lu Dashan, who was going to sit in the car with him that day.

Lu Dashan's name was Big Mountain, but he was not strong at all. He was skinny and dry, and he had a shifty look on his face. One look and one could tell that he was the kind of person who liked to play tricks and take advantage of others. He was very unlikeable in the village. He did not like to be seen by the heavens, but he had given birth to a beautiful and quick-witted daughter.

From primary school to high school, Zhang Xiaoloong and Lu Xiaoya were classmates. Their relationship was also very good. This time, they even went to Yanjing to go to college together. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoloong was not unfamiliar with this "Uncle Big Mountain" who did not have a good impression of him.

"Brother Big Mountain, come over. Sit down. I'll go and get you a cup of water." Zhang Xiaoloong's mother quickly got up and greeted him.

"No need to trouble me. I will leave after saying a few words." Lu Dashan's small eyes looked back and forth as if he was looking for something. "What happened to Xiaoloong? Is he better? "

"It has been more than a month, and he still looks the same..." Liu Mei could not help but sigh when she heard this. Her eyes were full of sadness. "I also do not know what kind of sins I have committed in my previous life and want to take away my old bones. Why did it fall on Xiaoloong?"

"Alright, what's the use of saying all this?" Zhang Daniu was irritated and interrupted Liu Mei's words, "Big Mountain, do you have something to say? If you have something to say, just say it."

Liu Mei's face froze for a moment and then she sighed. She looked at Lu Dashan as if she knew he would come.
