Chapter 3 Academies

The former Demon Spirit Race stood majestically in the Hundred Spirit Realm, and it could be regarded as a behemoth among thousands of races. However, the war that affected the entire Bailing Realm five hundred years ago led to heavy casualties in the end, including the patriarch, all the strong people of the Demon Spirit Clan who resisted the flames of war all fell, and tens of millions of Demon Spirit Clansmen turned into dry bones.

After the end of the brutal war that devastated the lives of the people, the vast territory of the Demon Spirit Clan was divided among the three surrounding tribes - the Human Race, the Fairy Spirit Clan, and the Blood Demon Clan, and the Demon Spirit Clan, which originally had a huge population, only a few hundred thousand people remained.

Fortunately, the Faerie Clan, which was once the closest relationship with the Demon Spirit Clan, took the initiative to give up a small piece of territory and named it the New Demon Domain for the remaining Demon Spirit Clan to survive.

Although this so-called new demon domain occupies less than one-tenth of the original demon domain, due to the weakening of the bloodline of the demon spirit clan at this time, the remaining clansmen have no talent for cultivating the elements, and they don't even have a strong person who has the ability to be the leader of the demon spirit clan, so they can only choose to survive under the protection of the fairy spirit clan.

As for what kind of war is enough to destroy a super clan like the Demon Spirit Clan, these people now have no way of knowing.

Those clansmen with pure demon bloodlines have all died, leaving the remaining clansmen with thin bloodlines, and some of them have cultivated until their hair is gray, and the elemental power they control cannot even exceed that of a young clansman who was no more than thirty years old five hundred years ago.

Fortunately, in the past five hundred years, the Demon Spirit Clan occasionally has some talented clansmen, so the Demon Spirit Clan founded the Demon Spirit Academy with the help of the fairies, and devoted all its resources to cultivating these outstanding juniors.

These clansmen believed that any young person who had the opportunity to enter the Demon Spirit Academy could be a pillar of restoration to the former glory of the Demon Clan in the future.

......

The next day, under Lu Yan's strong request, Lu Ling had no choice but to go to the academy of the Demon Spirit Academy with him.

In normal times, Lu Ling would rather sleep in bed than take a step out of the house. Although most of the students would not laugh at and despise Lu Ling because of Lu Ling's own special situation like Yuan Song and others, he could see others talking with strange eyes everywhere he went, which still made the young man irritable.

What makes Lu Ling even more depressed is that his younger brother Lu Yan is also an existence that can attract attention everywhere, but those eyes are full of envy and admiration.

The two of them followed the sun-dappled path, and after a while, they saw a simple and huge red building, and many students who were in their youth came and went, which seemed to be quite lively this time.

This is the most important place in the Demon Spirit Academy, the Academy. Despite its name, the collection here is not an ordinary book, but a collection of "spells".

For thousands of years, the creatures of the Hundred Spirits Realm have become more and more proficient in mastering the elements while cultivating the elements, and they have developed many methods of applying the elements, which are called "spells".

Most of the spells are similar to the martial arts of people who practice martial arts, used to increase the lethality of elemental power, such as the black moon blade and green giant vine cast by Lu Yan and Yuan Shan yesterday.

Of course, many spells also have other abilities, such as defensive spells that build shields, agility spells that increase speed, and support spells that promote cultivation.

Many of the spells collected by the Demon Spirit Clan have been turned to ashes in the flames of the war, so a large part of the spells in the academy are provided by the Fairy Spirit Clan, and for the Fairy Spirit Clan to help many times for a long time, the people up and down the Demon Spirit Clan are full of gratitude to them.

When the two of them walked to the gate of the academy, they quickly attracted the attention of many people, most of which were caused by Lu Yan, and some eyes were surprised that Lu Ling came to the academy. Lu Ling had long been accustomed to this situation, he had been in the Demon Spirit Academy for two years, and he had never been to the academy, so it was not surprising that these people were surprised.

It's not that Lu Ling doesn't want to come, it's just that he hasn't even reached the Qi Transformation Realm, and he can't contact the spells that only Qi Realm students are qualified to learn at all, so he simply stayed away from the academy, and out of sight was pure.

"Lu Yan!"

A crisp voice came, and the two of them invariably turned their eyes to the source of the sound, only to see a young girl walking towards them with snow-white slender jade legs.

The girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, her skin is fair, her facial features are exquisite, and the sweet smile on her pretty face has attracted the attention of many students around her. The girl has long black shawl hair, and the pure white skirt on her body outlines a slender and green curve, and the clean skirt gently flutters with the hair in the wind, which is pleasing to the eye.

When the girl walked in front of the two, she was a little surprised to find Lu Ling beside Lu Yan, and immediately blinked her bright big eyes: "Brother Lu Ling, long time no see!"

Hearing this, Lu Ling nodded lightly at the girl. This girl's name is Ye Jingrou, and she is a good friend that Lu Yan made at the Demon Spirit Academy. Because she occasionally visits the residences of the two, she naturally knows Lu Ling.

Ye Jingrou has a gentle and kind personality, when she learned about Lu Ling's difficulty in cultivating, she also took the initiative to help him go around to ask his seniors, although every time she returned in vain, Lu Ling was still grateful to her.

Lu Yan's eyes softened a lot after seeing the girl: "Why are you here too?"

Ye Jingrou pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course, it's for learning spells, I don't want to be too far away from you in the academy competition." ”

"Hehe, since that's the case, let's go together. Lu Yan said, the girl immediately nodded vigorously, and then followed Lu Yan lightly, the joy on her pretty face was overflowing.

The surrounding students all showed envious looks, after all, Ye Jingrou was one of the best little beauties in the Demon Spirit Academy, beautiful and with a good personality, but everyone knew her relationship with Lu Yan, and the girl's joy at this time, of course, could only be seen when Lu Yan was around.

Moments later, the three of them stepped through the gates of the Academy, the first floor of which was used for students to temporarily refer to the spells they had chosen, and the second floor was where the various spells were stored. Just as Lu Yan and the others were about to ascend to the second floor, Ye Jingrou inadvertently looked at the spell registration office on the side of the stairs, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "Is it Elder Hua?"

There, a gray-haired, wrinkled old man leaned back in a chair at the registration office and closed his eyes, although he looked a little derelict in his duties, most of the students who knew him did not dare to approach him in front of him. This Hua Tonghua Elder was notoriously stern and stubborn in the Demon Spirit Academy, and he usually had an unsmiling look, and the students were very afraid of him.

Lu Yan frowned, and glanced at Lu Ling next to him out of the corner of his eye, the deacon who was usually in charge of registering students to borrow spells in the academy was Elder Zheng, if it was him, he might not have stopped Lu Ling from ascending the academy, but today's deacon was rarely replaced by the stubborn Elder Hua.

So Lu Yan glanced at the other two, and at the same time quickened his pace, as long as he sneaked up to the second floor as soon as possible while Elder Hua closed his eyes and recuperated, he wouldn't find out, and after they finished choosing the spell, Elder Hua wouldn't say anything.

Lu Ling usually stayed at home and didn't know anything about this Elder Hua at all, but Lu Yan and the others all quickened their pace, and he naturally followed without a sound.

"Those below the Yun Qi Realm are not allowed to enter the second floor of the academy. As soon as Lu Ling stepped on the stairs with his front feet, an old voice came, he stopped and looked at the Elder Hua with an expressionless face, the latter just opened his cloudy eyes and glanced at Lu Ling, in his opinion, a guy who had not even reached the Qi Transformation Realm was not qualified to ascend the academy at all.

"Elder Zheng doesn't have these rules. Lu Yan's words were a little dissatisfied, but the old man was not angry when he heard this, and his tone was not salty or light: "Zheng Ju has Zheng Ju's rules, I have my rules, if you are not happy, you can leave." ”

After saying that, Elder Hua closed his eyes again to recuperate, and Lu Yan was about to continue to talk and reason with him, but Lu Ling waved his hand and said indifferently: "You guys go up, I'll just wait below." "Anyway, those spells were useless to him, so Lu Ling didn't get too persistent.

Lu Yan had no choice but to sigh lightly, so he didn't say more, and took Ye Jingrou to the second floor, who also glanced at Lu Ling apologetically, and then hurriedly followed.

After seeing the two of them ascend the building, Lu Ling could feel the playful gaze of the students around him like sharp blades, thinking that such a thing as a student being banned from boarding the academy because his strength was too low would only happen to Lu Ling.

However, he didn't care, after glancing at Elder Hua, he found a place with few people to sit in, ready to start absorbing the elements and refining his body.

Although his day-to-day attempts never allowed Lu Ling to come into contact with the threshold of the Qi Transformation Realm, and the atmosphere around him was also awkward for him, he was still able to calmly ignore the sight of the people around him and concentrate on his own business.

Because he's been used to it for a long time.

When Lu Ling began to concentrate on converging the surrounding elements towards him, Elder Hua, who was not far away, opened his eyes slightly and looked at the young man sitting quietly in the corner, and there seemed to be a trace of extremely hidden surprise flashing in his eyes. He prevented him from ascending the stairs, but the latter behaved neither angry nor complaining, without the slightest hint of frivolity and impetuousness that a teenager should have.

And a young man with such a heart doesn't even have the strength to transform into a qi realm.

While this Elder Hua was curious, he planned to observe the process of Lu Ling's elemental quenching.

In about half a pillar of incense, Lu Ling could already clearly see the milky white elemental gas around Lu Ling like a smoke screen, and converging to this extent was already the limit of Lu Ling's body's ability to bear, so he adjusted his breathing and slowly inhaled the gas into his nose.

Everything was normal before this, and Elder Hua could sense the elemental power flowing through Lu Ling's emaciated body.

However, in the next moment, Elder Hua's eyes suddenly widened, and his body, which was originally lazily reclining, straightened up.

Because he found that the elemental power that was full of Lu Ling's body disappeared as if it had evaporated out of thin air in an instant!

And the boy was still expressionless, as if it was just the most normal thing in the world. He raised his head slowly, his eyes just opposite Elder Hua's gaze.

Elder Hua's heart stirred up turbulent waves, although it was only for a moment, he clearly saw a scarlet light flashing in Lu Ling's eyes.

Surprised, he inhaled in disbelief.

"Source Demon Qi, how can this be ......?"
