Chapter 9: Under the Stars
At night, the bright stars shine on every corner of St. Dawn's Academy.
The Kingdom of Aiqi is located in the southernmost part of the Dragon's Breath Mountains, which itself is the highest area in the Dorast Continent, and most of the towns in the Kingdom of Aiqi are built on the mountains, so the Kingdom of Aiqi has always had the title of the kingdom closest to the sky at the beginning.
The closer you get to the sky, the brighter the stars shine at night.
In most of the territories of the Age Kingdom, the stars in the night sky seemed unusually large and bright, as if they could be picked up by reaching out.
This kind of "starry sky" is unique to the Kingdom of Edge, so the Kingdom of Age has been called the "Kingdom under the Stars" since then.
In the eyes of many people in the Kingdom of Edge, it is bright and dazzling, and it seems to be touchable, but in fact it is out of reach, and the stars in the starry sky are like everyone's dreams.
In a secluded corner of the Thinker's Stone Forest, Chrissy was holding her knees with her hands, gasping for breath.
Sweat dripped down her fine, white chin and into the dirt beneath her.
Anyone could tell that her physical strength had reached its limit, but after a short break, she gritted her teeth and softly spit out four words: "Do it again!"
She started to run again, jumped high, her body had reached the highest point in the air, and when she was about to fall, her body suddenly twisted, and she exerted her strength again, and she made a few more fast dodge moves in the air, and then landed steadily, squatted, and took a few more steps forward like an arrow.
When her figure stopped again, she finally couldn't support anymore and fell to the ground in exhaustion.
Bitter sweat trickled into her eyes and mouth, but lying on the ground, she waved her fist at the starry sky and whispered to herself, "You must win." ”
......
The woodland around the Ivy League area is also the most important place for new students to practice.
Towering giant trees naturally separate many independent spaces to avoid being disturbed by others, and many lawns between woodlands have been trampled into hard mud floors.
Teacher Houston can only be described by the word "perverted" for new students, and the vast majority of freshmen themselves are not far behind and do not want to be worse than others, so in the starlight-shrouded glades, there are faintly, constantly "fire cracking fist... Fireburst Fist" such a voice sounded.
Arryn was also standing in one of the glades.
Sometimes if a person doesn't know too many things, he will not be so anxious to understand something, but will be more focused on the things in front of him.
At this time, he had already determined that the bloodline that Old Kings had fused himself with was definitely not a lame thing.
Before that, he had completed all the basic exercises assigned by Houston, and if he hadn't done even half of it before, he would have been lying on the ground tired.
Although he was also tired and soaked in sweat now, he could clearly feel his progress, and under the sharpening of such basic exercises, he could even feel a trace of extremely fine heat swimming in his body, penetrating into every corner of his body.
This is exactly the feeling that every small molecule in the body stores more and more liliang, and the physical strength continues to increase.
Although as early as when he was in the town of Corowin, he had clearly known from Lao Jinsi's repeated narration that the sorcerer's liliang came from the liliang and mana of the body, and the liliang of the body was composed of two parts, one was the liliang that was accumulated in every small molecule in the body, and the other part was the liliang of the spiritual will.
He also knew very well that through his usual diet and training, the liliang accumulated in every small molecule in his body would increase, but he was also more sure that without the strange bloodline fused in his body, his progress would not have been so fast.
"The most powerful person in the entire Holy Dawn Academy, and the one who cultivates the hardest....try Whirlwind Flame again. ”
The "Flame Storm Fist" that most of the other freshmen couldn't master, he used it directly in class, and now he has practiced it very well, but he doesn't know Weishenme, as soon as he thinks of that "god-like girl", he naturally gave up the idea of going back to rest immediately, and practiced "Whirlwind Spirit".
"Whirlwind!"
With a very low chant, his hands suddenly stretched out forward, bringing out several afterimages.
With a whimper, two beams of qi swept across his face, shattering several leaves that had just fallen.
"It's more powerful than the Flame Punch, it's faster, it's just harder!"
The moment he made his move, Erin knew that he had made a mistake, and compared to the time in class, his mana seemed to be too violent, so that it did not form ten spinning wind whips, not to mention, when two irrepressible wind beams exploded from his hands, the bones of his hands seemed to be shattered, and the pain was incomparable.
"Come again!"
But he didn't stop, and after shaking his hand, he continued to practice unconvinced.
Once, twice, three times, four times....I don't know how many times I practiced, Erin's sweat became sticky, and the ten fingers of his hands seemed to be about to crack.
His physical strength had also reached its limit, and his consciousness had become a little dazed, and he could even hear his own rapid heartbeat and hear heavy breathing.
I want to lie down and sleep like this....but it looks like I'm about to succeed....
"No!
"Whirlwind!"
Suddenly, he straightened up again as he looked like he couldn't straighten his body, desperately panting, and his hands suddenly stretched forward.
Laugh at!
Ten spinning wind whips suddenly appeared in front of him, making a completely different sound from before.
"Haha, it's successful, I'm still good!"
As soon as he saw the ten spinning wind whips, Ai Lin, who had been exhausted to the extreme, could no longer support it, let out a smug daxiao sound, stretched out his hands, and fell back softly, after falling, his hands were still stretched out towards the starry sky, and he twitched twice from time to time, which looked very ridiculous.
......
A bat flies out of the giant wood forest around the Ivy League schoolhouse and into the shadow behind one of the schoolbuildings.
Kate, the young teacher that Erin had seen in his reporting, suddenly followed the bat, and silently swept out of a tree and landed on the leafy roof of the school building.
At the moment when his feet touched the roof, a gust of wind blew, rolling up countless withered yellow fallen leaves, and among the fluttering fallen leaves, Liszt's figure suddenly appeared again.
Looking at Liszt who suddenly appeared, Kate did not have the slightest surprised expression, and said softly with a smile: "I thought it was you in the woods just now, otherwise I wouldn't have the creepy feeling of being targeted." ”
"Are you complimenting me or criticizing me?" Liszt grabbed his hair and sat down lazily on the roof covered with yellow leaves, stretching, "It's you, why did you come out of your way to watch these freshmen, especially Arryn's practice?"
Kate coughed lightly: "There are two reasons, one is that the principal of this year's house competition asked me to lead the team, and the other reason is that Erin is something you pay special attention to, of course I have to pay attention to it." ”
"It turns out that you led the team in this year's inter-college competition, so you also have a direct relationship with the new students in the reporting office. Liszt touched his chin, "It seems that you can't sit still, but it's true, the performance has been too poor in the past few years, not only others think that there are no powerful people in our Holy Dawn Academy, but even our students in the Holy Dawn Academy are about to forget what true glory and courage are, and they are about to feel that there is no difference between ordinary magicians and the kind of magicians who really dare to fight." ”
"You've always had a good eye. Kate sat down beside Liszt and said seriously: "The average student can't learn the Whirlwind Flame of Houston at all, let alone successfully master the Whirlwind Flame in one day's time. Moreover, the Whirlwind Flame of Houston has never been taught publicly, and it is impossible for Erin to have come into contact with the Whirlwind Flame before. ”
"Needless to say, it's that complicated, I see what you mean. Liszt glanced at Kate and said directly: "From entering the academy to the present, his figure has grown a little taller, so either there is any hidden bloodline, or there is some bloodline mutation." ”
"I don't see any obvious bloodline characteristics from his body, and I've heard that he is particularly able to eat, but it doesn't look like a pure giant bloodline. Kate looked into Liszt's eyes: "Did you find anything?"
Liszt smiled and shook his head: "But even if it's not a mysterious bloodline, it's at least an interesting bloodline, and judging from his performance, he seems to understand the benefits of not revealing the power of his bloodline, which makes me not have to confess." ”
"You've seen what he practiced just now, he does have the courage to risk his life, and since you led the team in this year's academy competition, I can only tell you not to let me down. After shaking his head, Liszt looked up at the surrounding giant wood forest again, and then said: "Your luck is really good, there are still two people here who will master the Whirlwind Flame in a day or two, and there are three such characters in a group of students, if they were placed in other colleges, those academy guys would have crooked smiles." ”
Liszt still had a lazy, indifferent expression, but Kate was taken aback and cried out in disbelief: "Three?"
"That High Elf bloodline, and that kid with glasses. Liszt smiled slightly, "You guy seems to have to work harder." ”
"Lin Luolan?" Kate's eyes widened, he felt that Lin Luolan's ability to have amazing comprehension ability was nothing, after all, even if he had a small amount of elf blood, his ability in many aspects would be much higher than that of ordinary people, not to mention that Lin Luolan had a very high level of elf bloodline at a glance, but that Belo, he really didn't expect it. So he couldn't help but look at Liszt and said, "That freshman who is easy to get excited and get into trouble? is he actually a rare genius? Even more powerful than the red-haired boy of the Quinn family?"
"You're underestimating him too much. Liszt laughed, "He's the only freshman who managed to sneak into the Behemoth paddock." I don't know what he's thinking, but he clearly has a lot of ambitions. ”
"He's the one who sneaked into the behemoth paddock? it turns out that his injury is because..." Kate's eyes lit up.
Liszt stood up and stretched, "It's good to know, there are so many interesting little guys, don't let me down too much in this competition." ”
"What does it have to do with this time, they are all freshmen. Kate was stunned.
"What does it have to do with freshmen?" Liszt glanced at him, "What does the strength of strength have to do with whether or not it is new?"
Kate was completely stunned.
"If you don't dare to let go and do it, if you don't dare to give up your expectations, there will be no hope. ”
Liszt waved his hand lazily and turned to leave: "If there are really freshmen who can participate in this kind of competition, it will be really interesting." ”
"I still have a question for zuihou. When Liszt's figure was about to disappear from the roof, Kate suddenly remembered something and exclaimed: "Since you also know that Bero is extremely excited and prone to trouble, weishenme, you still want to arrange Erin with him?"
Liszt's figure disappeared suddenly, but a lazy voice came: "According to convention, the more restless the student, the more likely he is to get into trouble, and the more likely he is to be punished, he will often be more powerful than the average student. ”
