Govis did not speak, but sighed softly; He Ningzhou was also silent, his eyes looked deep, and no one saw the bottom of his eyes, which was a pity that only he knew.

In the study, Anlais stood in front of the window, the dark night sky came into view, his expression was as calm as water, and no one knew that he was buried deep in the turbulent waves.

"I'll go see him." He Ningzhou said in a low voice, and walked to the left with a step.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the quiet corridor, and he moved infrequently, and the short road seemed to be infinitely extended, so that he could not see the end.

He Ningzhou has never felt like this, as if he has been pulled into a whirlpool, the darkness weighs on people, and he hopes for a future that is as indescribable as if there is nothing.

This emotion is for him, and why is it for him?

You know what? At this moment, I am worried about you, afraid that your future will be in unforeseen danger, I am not a prophet, I cannot predict the future, and I cannot keep myself calm at all times. But I don't despair, I wish I could be by your side when that day comes, and face everything with you.

You know what? I never thought that one day, I would feel like this about you, so forward-looking and thinking about it, without the original courage and determination, even you may not be optimistic about this.

Suddenly, I miss you, I miss you in front of me, let me reach it, just like countless times, I sit in the room and think of you unconsciously, but also accompanied by shallow heartache.

Should this feeling be named "care"?

When He Ningzhou pushed open the door of Shen Xinghe's room, the latter was sitting at the table reading a book, and when he saw that it was him, he put down the book and smiled slightly, and said, "It's you, is there something wrong?" ”

Today, he seems to be a little different from the past.

The eyes are still deep, but they seem warm and tender, compared to the usual incomprehensible thoughts, this time it is integrated with too many feelings, strong and profound, so it is full of anger. There was a touch of agility in his eyes, and all kinds of emotions surged up in the flow of waves.

Shen Xinghe had never seen him look like this, so gentle that it was heart-wrenching, as if he wanted to imprint the most precious thing in his heart in his mind at the last second when the world was dying.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xinghe subconsciously asked again.

He Ningzhou smiled, his eyes were much clearer, and for a while Shen Xinghe thought that the complicated entanglement just now was just his own illusion.

"Nothing, just suddenly wanted to come and see you." He Ningzhou's voice was very clear, warm, and his smiling gaze made Shen Xinghe's heart tremble.

This person's current behavior is really unusual, he should have concealed something very important, but unfortunately if he didn't say it, he had no way to know, and in this way, he couldn't muster up the courage to ask.

Suddenly a little lost, Shen Xinghe's eyes dimmed, and he looked away and said listlessly: "Now that you've seen it, you can go back." ”

He Ningzhou didn't answer immediately, in that only one second, he looked at the person in front of him with extremely complicated eyes, and even made people feel that a person can really have so many feelings, and then he stood up indifferently, said "Okay" briskly, and was about to leave the bedroom, and before taking the first step, he turned his head again, concerned and said with deep meaning: "You have a good rest tonight, just read that book for a while, if you still want to practice magic, you don't have to do it." After saying that, his gaze seemed to be extremely ill-intentioned.

"Why?" Shen Xinghe looked at him strangely.

"You'll find out tomorrow." He smiled as if he was waiting to see how the person in front of him would make a fuss, and then walked towards the door.

Shen Xinghe kept looking at his back.

I don't know why, when I heard his excessive words, there was no feeling of dissatisfaction in my heart, a rare time, his figure seemed so heavy, as if he was carrying too many things, and it also made people see his deeply buried sadness after his leisurely smile, Shen Xinghe never thought that this always strong person would have such a pitiful time.

"Wait a minute." Shen Xinghe spoke, and He Ningzhou's footsteps stopped at the moment when he was about to step out of the door.

Except for him, there would never be a second person who could make Shen Xinghe say these three words at this time, and it was precisely because of him that Shen Xinghe said it, and at this time, the latter did not have time to think carefully about anything else.

Shen Xinghe stood up, took two steps forward, and stood behind the man, "What's the matter with you?" He asked. It's a very unfamiliar sentence, because since the other party intends to hide it, he shouldn't get to the bottom of it, Shen Xinghe never talks much in front of others, and he doesn't know why he wants to ask at this time.

"......" He Ningzhou was full of emotion for a while. When did this man start to become so smart? The ability to hide emotions that he has always been proud of has been seen through by him several times, if it is such a shrewd person as Ann, it will matter, this person who has always been very childish will have such delicate and keen observation?

For some reason, I felt very relieved that he didn't look like a stupid and ignorant child when he was thinking about him, and it also made all the feelings he felt for him worthwhile.

At this time, He Ningzhou was really much more relaxed, he smiled and turned his head, his expression was very solemn, "I do have something, but now is not the time when you should know, one day, everything you are going to face will come." ”

"......" Shen Xinghe's brows furrowed. How did he say the same thing as the prophet? Shen Xinghe suddenly felt that his heart was heavy, as if he had carried a great mission.

Perhaps, as he said, one day he will face a crisis that he has never imagined, and what he can do at this time is to gain the strength to resolve it before that day comes.

He Ningzhou asked Shen Xinghe to rest for a night, so he didn't have to read and practice, and he did; He said that he would find out the reason tomorrow, and he was looking forward to it.

When Shen Xinghe saw He Ningzhou in the restaurant the next day, he was talking to An Laisi, his attitude was very calm, the clouds were light and light, and he was almost like two people last night, in fact, Shen Xinghe liked the way he looked now.

After breakfast, the two of them came to the martial arts class location, and He Ningzhou said to Shen Xinghe as if he had already prepared: "Actually, the reason why I let you rest last night is because, starting from tonight, for a long time, you won't have a normal time to sleep at night." ”

Shen Xinghe's heart froze, and his face became serious, he didn't ask, waiting for what He Ningzhou was going to say next.

"Ann should have asked about your martial arts and magic training, right?" He Ningzhou asked Shen Xinghe first.

The latter nodded.

"He said that your progress is a bit slow, especially in the area of magic, and he wants me to find a way to help you speed up the growth of mana, which is bound to use your sleep time at night. I've thought of a way to count it in one fell swoop, of course," he looked at Shen Xinghe, "It's going to be harder for you now." ”

"What's the solution?" Shen Xinghe was mentally prepared after listening to him, and at the same time, he was also very curious about what kind of proposal he would have.

"Get on the horse," said He Ningzhou, leading the way to his horse, "I'll tell you when I get there." ”

The two rode their horses, the speed was not very fast, Shen Xinghe followed behind He Ningzhou, and walked a long distance to the southeast of the palace, Shen Xinghe gradually saw that a forest appeared in front of him. Because of its remote location, it is almost impossible to see it in the place where martial arts are practiced.

The forest is so large that there is no end in sight on either side, and the trees are densely arranged, making it impossible to get a glimpse of the interior at all, making it seem quite mysterious.

Shen Xinghe recalled the books he had read, and recognized that these tall and lush trees in front of him were Qingluo trees, which were planted in a wide area on the entire road, not only for ornamental value, but also suitable for enjoying the shade. Its leaves have detoxifying properties and are widely used by beta healers; Its fruit is called Qingluo, and it is loved by people for its sweet taste and rich juice.

He Ningzhou dismounted at the entrance, let Shen Xinghe leave the horse here, and the two walked into the forest.

It's summer, and it's the peak of the trees, their tall canopies almost intertwined, blocking out a lot of sunlight and making the light a little dim. The forest was quiet at this time, and there was no sound except for footsteps.

As if there were few people, there was no path in the forest, and the two of them barely walked in a straight line, and Shen Xinghe didn't know whether the people around him were following a certain law or completely casual. After walking for dozens of meters, Shen Xinghe heard the cry of a bird, it was a green bird, and its voice was clear and loud, like singing.

After walking for nearly twenty meters, He Ningzhou motioned for Shen Xinghe to stop, and the latter looked around, this position was not special, it was blocked by trees all around, and he couldn't even tell the way he came, and there was still only Qing Luo's figure as far as his eyes could see.

He Ningzhou spoke: "This forest is called Demon Siam, and our location is less than one hundredth of its entire length, and there is a vast wetland in its depths, as well as a considerable number of demonic beasts and ferocious animals. In the entire territory of Shengyi, there are no more than ten such 'monster concentration camps', which are also called 'hell and heaven'. ”

"There are no animals in our location during the day, but at night there is a nocturnal demon Siamese wolf. You should know that the ferocity of the Demon Siamese Wolf can rank among the top five in its kind, and it also has excellent night vision and dynamic observation, and can leap more than 30 meters away in an ordinary person in an instant. ”

"Yet," he said, "it is the weakest animal in the whole forest of Demonium, and therefore only moves in the shallowest places. Naturally, like most nocturnal animals, the Demon Siamese Wolf is afraid of fire, especially the magic fire summoned by the fire magician, which makes them afraid to approach a distance of less than a hundred meters. ”

"Alright, speaking of which. The way I think for you to speed up your cultivation is to practice your ability in this position when you sleep at night in the future, pay attention, it's not 'magic', it's 'ability'," Shen Xinghe nodded in understanding, "Of course, you can't make a fire, and you can't hold your breath, and the Demon Siamese Wolf will attack you the moment it senses your presence, and you have to dodge it before it arrives." It also trains your speed, as well as alertness, stamina, and mental strength. Any questions? After speaking, He Ningzhou asked Shen Xinghe Dao.

Shen Xinghe thought about it, his plan was indeed a good way for beginners to practice, as for what was the problem...... "No." "Shen Xing River Road.

He Ningzhou looked at him and thought to himself that he probably had a lot of questions he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask, the most important of which was naturally that with his current strength, would he be able to escape the attack of the Demon Siamese Wolf?

He Ningzhou continued: "In order to accomplish this plan, you will have to be able to mobilize the abilities in your body, for example, when you practice, you will use most of your abilities to resolve the fatigue of your body, and at the same time use a small part of your ability to detect things around you, and when you perceive danger, you will concentrate your abilities on your feet to jump or escape, and how to distinguish the different breaths of different creatures, all of which I will teach you one by one, and I will be by your side until you have enough ability to perceive and avoid danger." ”

"And after you can easily detect and dodge the Demon Siamese Wolf, you need to practice distinguishing and dodging other faster animals that can hide their breath, and you need to develop the ability to observe dynamically, and be able to move quickly in the forest to avoid the attacks of other monsters and catch extremely fast targets to pass."

"You will find that in the future adult assessment, the ability I am talking about is the most basic and the scope of application throughout. The above is about dodging, as for attacking, martial arts are limited to hand-to-hand combat, and the best effect when combined with movement is to move quickly at a distance to find an opportunity to rush to the enemy's close range to make a deadly attack, and quickly dodge before he counterattacks. ”

"Magic, on the other hand, can be used near and far, so it's best to attack while moving to catch the enemy off guard. Even though you're a healing-based mage, you'll still need to learn attack magic to protect yourself after reaching a certain level of healing. Alright," he breathed a sigh of relief at this, "I'm done with everything I'm going to explain, and the next step is to start training." ”

"The first thing I want to teach you is how to use the abilities in your body to make your jumps faster and higher," After seeing Shen Xinghe nodding and getting ready, He Ningzhou continued: "If the magic power is activated from the brain, then the ability is in the dantian. You close your eyes now," Shen Xinghe did, "as if mobilizing magic power, trigger the ability from the dantian and concentrate it on your feet, and then jump upwards with all your might." ”

Shen Xinghe opened his eyes at the moment of jumping to see how high he jumped, and before he could see clearly, he fell from the air because he relaxed his spirit, and couldn't help shouting, naturally, this time He Ningzhou still caught him before he fell to the ground.

Sighing, He Ningzhou let go of Shen Xinghe and stepped back a little, looked at him and stroked his chest with palpitations, and said: "Concentration is something that must be done throughout the adult assessment process, and if you relax a little, you may fail, you must remember this." ”

Seeing Shen Xinghe's guilty expression, He Ningzhou continued: "You just jumped about five meters or so, and you haven't touched a branch yet, and your speed is only slightly faster than that of ordinary people, you won't have a chance to move a step before the Demon Siamese Wolf arrives." ”

"Of course, it's not bad for you. The next thing I'm going to teach you is to use your abilities to improve your concentration. You used to focus on your own practice and not pay attention to the outside world, but now you have to mobilize your abilities and spread them all over your body, and you will find that your senses are much more sensitive than before. ”

Indeed, at this moment, Shen Xinghe could clearly feel the flow of the air around him, as well as the breathing of the people around him, and the very small friction sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

"It's amazing." Shen Xinghe retracted his ability and said to He Ningzhou in amazement.

The latter smiled, although he felt that his attitude was too formal, but he had to do so, so he said: "In fact, no matter the height and speed of the jump and the level of observation, it is determined by the ability value, which is equivalent to the fact that you can close your eyes and simulate the surrounding scenery in your mind according to the surrounding breath, and even the flow of wind and air that cannot be seen by the eyes, the higher the ability value, the wider the range of perception, once there is a danger into your perception range, you will be the first to perceive." ”

"Okay, the last thing I'm going to teach you is that you now try to divide the abilities in your body into two parts, and seventy percent of the meridians in your body swim around to dissolve the fatigue in your body, which is also a kind of practice. The other three tenths continue to perceive foreign objects in the epidermis of the body. ”

Shen Xinghe's feeling at this time was that his perception of the outside world was not as clear as before, and because of the flow of ability, the fatigue caused by several concentrations in his body was gradually alleviating.

"That's all I'm going to teach you today, the practical application starts tonight, and now let's do a simulation. The breath of the various creatures varies, but when they are going to work against you, you will have the same obvious tension as when danger comes. ”

"As for the hidden aura, his strength is weaker than yours, even if he hides, he will be more or less felt by you; The strength is comparable to yours, you may not feel it, but as long as you are always vigilant, you can dodge it in time at the moment he makes a move; For people who are stronger than you, you have to prepare for the worst. When he said this, Shen Xinghe thought that the worst plan must refer to the danger of his life.

"Now, as I said, you can sense foreign objects while practicing, and I will unleash a murderous aura on you at a certain moment, and when you feel it, you will jump with all your might. Got it? ”

Shen Xinghe nodded, exhaled, and did as he said.

He Ningzhou hid his breath, slowly walked behind Shen Xinghe, and looked at his extremely serious back, which he actually thought was very interesting; I took out the hourglass again and took a look, this class was too long, and it was only half an hour before the magic class, so I should go back to the class place early. With this person's current ability, he wouldn't feel the murderous aura released a little farther away from him.

Thinking like this, He Ningzhou slowly approached him with a bad heart.

Shen Xinghe could feel that the aura of He Ningzhou disappeared in an instant, it should be hidden, I have to say, Shen Xinghe was a little nervous, this feeling of not knowing when and where the enemy would appear was terrifying. He had no concept of time, and he didn't know how long it had been, but his surroundings were still calm, and his body was refreshed by his abilities, and all fatigue was swept away.

Suddenly—

The air around him instantly became cold, and a terrifying sense of crisis swept through his body, and Shen Xinghe moved all his abilities to his feet at that moment and jumped up!

This time he didn't relax in the air, and fell back to the ground normally, only to notice that the man was no more than three meters to his right, and if he really wanted his life, he couldn't avoid it anyway.

The disparity in strength is a cruel reality, and at the same time it inspires people to forge ahead.

"Okay," He Ningzhou walked up to Shen Xinghe and said affirmatively: "I did a good job just now, I will spend half of my time doing this kind of training in Bao's class in the future, after all, the cultivation ability is also practicing magic at the same time, and the other half of the time he will practice your own light healing magic for you." ”

"And my martial arts class will also use the same amount of time to train, and in another hour I will start teaching you moves, and if you use the evening time, your arm strength will be up to the required amount in advance. In addition, the cultural class was carried out as usual, with an hour's rest after dinner, and then the training continued in the forest until the next morning. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes softened a lot, "I know that this kind of training is too harsh for you, but it is also for the sake of your future." At the end of the week, you will still have one day off at your own leisure. ”

"I see." In fact, Shen Xinghe didn't want to complain about anything, because there was no point, just like He Ningzhou said, all the arrangements he made for himself were just to enhance his strength, and he should thank him.

Thinking of this, Shen Xinghe raised his head and looked into his eyes, and smiled lightly, "It's hard for you, you have to bother to help me think about this, and you also sacrificed your rest time to train with me, I really don't know how to thank you." "As the commander of the orc army, he was supposed to be fine in the morning, but now he has to take up his evening time.

He Ningzhou stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair, very satisfied with his words, his heart slipped through warmth, and he couldn't help but want to tease him, "I really want to thank me for my words, and invite me to a meal after you pass the adult assessment." Now we're going back, and it's almost time for magic lessons. After speaking, he took Shen Xinghe back the same way.

At this time, Shen Xinghe was like a child, and followed He Ningzhou and said, "But what if you have to wait for so long, what if you forget it then?" ”

"I forgot that you must not pass the assessment." He Ningzhou affirmed, the reason, there is no need to say more.

Shen Xinghe was speechless for a while, looked around and said in surprise: "You actually know the way!" What are the characteristics? Why do I feel the same everywhere? ”

"......" He Ningzhou endured and endured before he didn't answer, in fact, he wanted to say: "If I were like you, would I still be your teacher?" ……”

……

After dinner, He Ningzhou told Shen Xinghe before leaving the restaurant that he would come to his study in an hour.
