Three days later.

The rabbit, which was bouncing on the grass, suddenly pricked up its ears, looked around alarmedly, and then fled in a panic.

As soon as the rabbit ran away, an earthy yellow aura suddenly appeared on the ground, and then the light was in full bloom, and in the next second, the roller coaster that Hai Yao and his party were riding appeared on the ground.

"It's finally here! I'm exhausted!"

Han Yuyi was the first to jump out of the car, stretched, and then said suspiciously: "But this is not like the Alliance Academy, haven't we arrived yet?"

"Teacher Nie said it. ”

Haiyao replied as he stepped out of the car, and then he was stunned - there was a meadow full of life, although there were two old-looking stone pillars standing in the middle of the meadow, like a portal, but it didn't look like there was an academy here.

Hai Yao turned around and asked, "Teacher Nie, are you mistaken, we shouldn't have arrived yet, right?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Nie Yuanhua and Ling Wu also walked out, and the roller coaster had already been put away.

"But where is the academy here?"

Nie Yuanhua smiled slightly, and when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked up at the sky

Hai Yao and Han Yuyi looked at Nie Yuanhua suspiciously, and then they heard a familiar eagle's cry.

"Black Feather?"

Haiyao looked at the sky in surprise.

"Black Feather, is that the spirit beast I saw flying with you two in Shangwu City?"

Nie Yuanhua narrowed his eyes and watched the black dots in the sky fly towards them.

After a while, Black Eagle landed next to Hai Yao, it was Hai Yao's little friend Hei Yu, who was looking at Hai Yao with aggrieved eyes, as if complaining that he had abandoned himself and ran away.

Seeing Hei Yu's aggrieved appearance, Hai Yao touched its feathers with a smile and asked, "Hei Yu, how do you know I'm here?"

Hei Yu walked a few steps on the ground, and then flapped his wings a few times, as if he wanted to explain to Hai Yao, but after a long time of gesturing, Hai Yao still looked puzzled, Hei Yu sat on the ground dejectedly, and then its stomach suddenly "cooed".

"Huh?"

Hai Yao was stunned for a moment, then noticed that Black Feather's feathers were a little wrinkled, and asked, "You won't always follow us, will you?"

Black Feather's eyes lit up, and then nodded violently.

Nie Yuanhua was surprised: "No, we've been walking underground, how did it see us?"

"Black Feather's sensing power is very good, and although the fluctuation of the earth's spiritual power when the roller coaster passes through is small, it can't escape Black Feather's induction. ”

Hai Yao distressed and helped Hei Yu comb its feathers: "You guy, can't you go to find a female eagle to fall in love, why do you have to follow?"

Nie Yuanhua was stunned: "Isn't it your spiritual pet?" Hey, no, you didn't make a contract with it?"

Only then did Nie Yuanhua see that there was no trace of the contract on Hei Yu's body.

"Black Feather is my friend. ”

Hai Yao smiled: "It prefers freedom, and I don't want to bind it, so I didn't make a contract with it." ”

"But I seem to be tied to it anyway. ”

Hai Yao sighed and said to Hei Yu: "Why follow me, you obviously have a broader sky and a future. ”

Black Feather tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Maybe you shouldn't use the word bondage"

Ling Wu said softly: "I can see that your little friend likes you very much, he should have been flying high freely, but he willingly followed you for three days and three nights." This is a bond, not a bondage. It's the bond of affection between you that makes it suppress its nature. ”

Lingwu finally smiled and said, "Maybe it thinks that following you is a happier thing than following nature and chasing freedom." ”

"Will I be happier with me?"

Hai Yao looked at Hei Yu and sighed, "I don't have this confidence myself, why do you have so much confidence in me?"

Haiyao thought of his mother-in-law Lu Jingxiang, and thought of his good brother Situ Yu, but when they encountered painful things, he couldn't do anything and couldn't help at all.

Hai Yao looked at his hands and said, "I'm obviously so weak. ”

Han Yuyi looked at Hai Yao's suddenly depressed mood, walked up and gave him a punch: "You cheer me up! Since Hei Yu has chosen you, you are like a man to carry it! You are not strong enough now, so work hard to cultivate! You will always become stronger." ”

Hai Yao raised his head and met the black feather's concerned eyes.

"Yes, I'll be strong!"

Hai Yao's eyes brightened, and then a golden aura appeared on his hand, outlining a mysterious symbol in the air, and then pasted his palm on it, and the symbol remained on his palm.

"Black Feather, are you willing to follow me all the time?"

Hai Yao asked solemnly, and then handed his hand with the symbol printed on it to Black Feather.

Black Feather looked at the mysterious symbol in Hai Yao's hand that shimmered with spiritual light in confusion.

Han Yui asked suspiciously, "Uh, what is he doing here?"

Nie Yuanhua smiled and said, "He's making a contract with Hei Yu. ”

"Ahh

Han Yuyi blinked, she had seen many people make contracts with spirit beasts, and they all used contract scrolls.

"Because Hai Yao and Black Feather are not ordinary contracts. ”

This time it was the spirit dance that spoke: "The contracts that use the contract scroll are all forced slave contracts, although they are very controlling, so that the spirit beast cannot refuse the master's orders, but it will affect the growth of the spirit beast." ”

"Hai Yao is now using a psychic contract, this kind of contract is very few people know, generally only some generations of domesticated spirit beast families know, this kind of contract will make the master and the spirit beast have the same mind, it is easier to understand each other's thoughts, but because the status of both parties to the contract is equal, so the autonomy of the spirit beast is very strong, and people who do not have a certain ability to tame beasts will not choose this kind of contract. ”

As he spoke, Hei Yu understood Hai Yao's meaning from Hai Yao's eyes, and then gently touched the symbol in Hai Yao's hand with his wings.

Then, I saw that the golden aura suddenly flourished, and at that moment, Hei Yu and Hai Yao both felt that they had a heart-to-heart connection with each other, as if they could directly talk to each other.

"Would you like to be my partner?"

"I do. ”

"The contract is made. ”

The mysterious symbol suddenly dissipated, and Hai Yao looked at the black feather in front of him, and a very strange feeling appeared in his heart. He used to have to guess for a long time to understand what Black Feather wanted to express, but now, looking at Black Feather in front of him, who was suddenly fluttering his wings and jumping hard, he instantly sensed that Black Feather was happy—happy because he became a psychic partner with him, and under the effect of the contract, he could clearly feel Black Feather's excitement and joy from the heart now.

"So you like me so much. ”

Haiyao's nose was sour, and his eyes were a little moist.

Han Yui asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Hai Yao shook his head, wiped his eyes and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was moved by Hei Yu." ”

"Isn't it just a contract......?

Han Yuyi was disgusted, but the smile on her face that couldn't be hidden showed that she was still happy for Haiyao from the bottom of her heart.

Nie Yuanhua said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's go to the academy." ”

"By the way, Teacher Nie, you haven't told us yet, where is the academy?"

Because of the arrival of Black Feather, Hai Yao ignored this matter - there is no population here at all, where did the academy come from.

"There it is. ”

Nie Yuanhua pointed to the two stone pillars.

Hai Yao and Han Yuyi looked at the two stone pillars, and then looked at Teacher Nie suspiciously, with an expression of "you seem to be teasing us".

Nie Yuanhua smiled mysteriously: "You guys take out the identity token first." ”

"Tokens?"

Hai Yao and Han Yuyi turned out the identity token that Nie Yuanhua had asked them to bind before.

"Enter the spiritual power to stimulate the spiritual power shield, just like me. ”

As he spoke, Nie Yuanhua injected spiritual power into the token in his hand, and an earthy yellow spiritual power shield appeared on him.

"Haiyao, you have to make a bigger one and cover the black feather as well. ”

Hai Yao and Han Yui nodded and did so, Hei Yu was very curious about the spiritual power shield wrapped around him, and wanted to stretch out his wings to touch it.

"And just walk in like that. ”

Nie Yuanhua walked between the two stone pillars as he spoke, and then stretched out his hand forward, and then a magical scene appeared-with Nie Yuanhua's contact, ripples suddenly appeared visible to the naked eye in the air, and Nie Yuanhua's hand seemed to pass through a water curtain, and disappeared into it.

Han Yui shouted excitedly, "Wow! What is this? Is it a mirage?"

"Come with me. ”

Nie Yuanhua winked at Haiyao and Han Yuyi, and then walked forward without hesitation, disappearing into the invisible water curtain.

"I'll come first, I'll come first!"

Han Yui excitedly ran to the transparent water curtain, and then slowly reached forward.

"Oh~"

Han Yui screamed excitedly when she saw her hand disappear, then pulled it out, reached in again, and pulled it out again, having a lot of fun.

Lingwu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Yui, stop playing, let's go in first." ”

"For the last time. ”

Han Yuyi smiled, and then the whole person jumped in, jumped out again, and beckoned to Haiyao: "Haiyao, come quickly!"

With that, she jumped in again.

"It's coming!"

Haiyao and Lingwu looked at each other and smiled, and then walked into this mysterious water curtain, followed by Black Feather who was pacing carefully.

A few people walked behind the water curtain, and the ripples gradually faded, and the place returned to calm.

It didn't take long for the previous little rabbit to run out again, only to see it jump through the middle of the two stone pillars, running towards a tender grass that it wanted to eat, there were no ripples in the air, no change, as if these two stone pillars were two ordinary stone pillars, and the mysterious transparent water curtain never existed.

Walking behind the water curtain, Hai Yao heard a faint human voice in front of him, the more he went forward, the clearer it became, when he walked out of the water curtain, he found that he came to a crowded square, the square was full of countless stalls, and the enthusiastic teenagers seemed to have become uncles and aunts in the vegetable market, all kinds of shouts and bargaining were endless.

"This is the Alliance Academy!?"

Hai Yao and Han Yui looked at Teacher Nie suspiciously.

"I hate to admit it, but you're already at the Alliance Academy. ”

Nie Yuanhua held his forehead and said: "A long, long time ago, there was no one to set up a stall in this central square, but then some students felt that there were many people coming and going here, so they set up stalls here, and slowly everyone got used to setting up stalls here. ”

"Although some teachers later said that the central square was the face of the college and should be kept solemn, and proposed to prohibit stalls here, the dean said that the college was only responsible for teaching and did not need any solemnity, so he rejected the teacher's application, so the central square has always maintained the way you see it now. ”

Hai Yao and Han Yui heard a black line: "This dean is too willful......"

Nie Yuanhua said with a smile: "Lord Dean, he has always acted recklessly, but behind every move he makes, there is his deep meaning, but ordinary people can't understand it." ”

Han Yuyi asked, "What is the meaning of not prohibiting stalls in the square?"

Nie Yuanhua was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed Hai Yao's thoughtful appearance and said with a smile: "Hai Yao, have you thought of something?"

"Huh?"

Hai Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know if I'm right, I think the dean's arrangement may be to change everyone's stereotype of things and rules." ”

"Oh? Seems interesting, you go on. ”

Hai Yao nodded and said, "When I was studying animal science, I learned that people are the same as spirit animals, once they form a certain stereotype about something, their behavior patterns will slowly solidify, and they will slowly lose the possibility of diversity. ”

"Just like our impression of the academy, it doesn't have to be solemn, it can also be lively, it can be lively, it can be many different looks. But if we only have the impression that it is solemn, then it will only become solemn. ”

"It's the same with cultivation. Isn't the reason why we want to cultivate and become stronger is to break through ourselves and make ourselves more possible? If we are always accustomed to limiting our vision to our limited self, how can we stand on the top of the world?"

"Well said!"

An old voice suddenly rang out. Hai Yao and the others turned their heads to look, only to see a spirited old man walking towards them, Nie Yuanhua and Ling Wu hurriedly shouted, "Master Mo, why are you here?"

Master Mo nodded to the two of them with a smile and said, "Xiao Nie, you just sent me a message, I can't wait, so I'll come over first." ”

After speaking, he looked at Haiyao and Yui, and said with a smile: "Young man, how are you." ”

Hai Yao and Han Yui cleverly shouted, "Master Mo, hello. ”

Master Mo smiled, then he looked at Han Yuyi and asked, "Little girl, are you the student with the Five Elements Spirit Body that Xiao Nie said?"

"Huh?"

Han Yui was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Master Mo asked kindly, "What's your name?"

Han Yui said honestly: "My name is Han Yui. ”

"Han Yui, good name. ”

Master Mo nodded, and then said, "My name is Mo Yan, everyone calls me Master Mo, and I am the inheritor of the Five Elements Puppet Technique. ”

"You are the inheritor of the Five Elements Puppet Technique?"

Han Yui was surprised: "That's ......"

Master Mo smiled and said, "That's right, I am your instructor for the next three years. ”

Han Yui shouted smartly, "Hello teacher." ”

"Good. ”

Master Mo nodded with satisfaction: "Come with me, I have arranged a place for you to live in the Battle Spirit Tower, I will take you over to have a look, and by the way, I will introduce your seniors to you." ”

"Huh?"

Han Yuyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then, what about Haiyao?"

Master Mo was stunned for a moment, then realized that Han Yuyi was talking about the young man next to her, and said, "The cultivation of the puppet technique is different from the ordinary cultivation course, we are cultivating in a semi-closed way in the Battle Spirit Tower, and your friend will have other arrangements." ”

"Huh?"

Han Yui was disappointed: "Then I can't take classes with Haiyao?"

Master Mo nodded: "After entering the Battle Spirit Tower, it may be difficult for you to meet, and the cultivation of the puppet technique is much harder than you think." ”

Han Yuyi hesitated and asked, "Then can I not learn the puppet technique and change the technique?"

"What did you say!?"

Master Mo's eyes widened.

Hai Yao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Han Yui, and said to Master Mo with a smile: "Master Mo, Yui is talking casually, don't be angry." ”

Immediately, Hai Yao turned his head and whispered to Han Yuyi: "Didn't you say that you think this Five Elements Puppet Technique is very interesting and suitable for you, and you want to keep learning it? Why do you suddenly have to change the technique again?"

Han Yuyi pouted and said, "But I can't play with you if I learn puppetry, how boring it should be." ”

Hai Yao said with a smile: "Master Mo just said that it is difficult to meet, and it is not that it is impossible to meet, there will definitely be time for rest and vacation, can't you play with me then?"

"But ......"

Han Yui wanted to say something, Haiyao shook his head and said, "Yui, we have grown up, we can't be so willful, listen to what I say, let's play together again when we have a break during the holidays, okay?"

Looking at Hai Yao's sincere and firm eyes, Han Yuyi was defeated and muttered, "Okay......"

Then Han Yuyi followed Master Mo away.

Hai Yao looked at Han Yuyi's figure in the distance, and Nie Yuanhua, who was standing on the side, quipped: "What, are you reluctant to Yui?"

Haiyao blushed and said in a panic: "I'm just worried that Yui won't be able to endure hardship." ”

Teacher Nie laughed and said, "Don't worry, Master Mo will be very precious Yui." He waited for twenty years before he could wait for a five-element spirit body willing to practice puppet art to inherit his mantle, how dare he let her endure hardship. ”

"Huh?"

Hai Yao's mouth opened wide, if this is the case, then with Yui's character, wouldn't it be a witch's birth?

Hai Yao shuddered, not daring to think further.

"Next, I have something to do with Teacher Lingwu, so let's go first, you take the black feather through the central square and go to the left, there is the accommodation area, you go there and find house number fifty-nine, and someone will tell you how to arrange it. ”

Hai Yao nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Then come on, Teacher Lingwu and I will go first. ”

After Nie Yuanhua finished speaking, he glanced at Ling Wu, and then the two of them also said goodbye to Hai Yao.

Hai Yao took a deep breath, looked at the black feather beside him and said, "Black feather, let's go." ”

Black Feather nodded.

One man and one eagle immediately walked towards the central square, and the legend of an alliance academy also began here.
