The early morning sun shone through the window, leaving a glimmer of light on the ground.

Ye Ran leaned against the window with his cheeks propped up.

The fire outside the door was burning, and there was a pot for cooking porridge on the stove, and Freya, who was on a small cane, crouched down and blew on the air holes below.

Ye Ran smiled, turned his head and looked fixedly at the north, where there was a slum that people could not avoid, where he had lived for a long time,

From here, you can see a small dilapidated building, with many cobwebs in the cracked bricks of that building, which was once his home.

To be exact, it used to be the home of him and Michelle.

At that time, in Ye Ran's heart, Mi Xue was the most beautiful, gentle, and virtuous girl in the world, because she Ye Ran was so strong, so desperate, and dreamed that one day she would earn money and move out of the disgusting slum with her.

He always remembers that every morning Michelle gets up quietly for fear of disturbing him, cooks for him, washes his clothes, and cleans every inch of the house.

Then she went out to work with him, and she carefully kept every copper coin she earned.

Once, Ye Ran was very close to that dream.

But the arrival of the oracle easily shattered his dream.

Become Athena's Chosen One, follow the divine envoy to the distant Temple of the Sixth Heaven, and from then on, the sea is wide and the sky is high for birds to fly.

Or, choose to stay by Ye Ran's side, and after a period of time, they will also need to be able to really save enough money to move out of the slums, and then continue to fight for a bleak future.

Michelle chooses the former and becomes Athena's Chosen One, staying in the Temple of the Sixth Heaven.

Although Ye Ran was sad about her decision, she still chose to accept it, which was her freedom.

But there was one thing that made Ye Ran angry, when Michelle left, she quietly took away all the savings earned by the two of them who had worked hard for several years, and Ye Ran fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

The next day, Ye Ran received a letter from her.

In the letter, she said that she needed that money to buy many things, that she did not want to dress like a beggar to go to the Temple of the Sixth Heaven, that she did not want to be looked down upon again, and that she swore that she would never return to the slums again in her life.

She also hoped that Ye Ran would never look for her, and she would completely forget all the past in the slums

That letter shattered Ye Ran's persistence and self-esteem.

He never saw Michelle again, and he didn't want to see it again.

It was only a year ago, but it is still vivid until now, Ye Ran remembered that the fat man Andoro was also there on the day Michelle left.

"If that money is still there, I can buy a bigger house with Freya and I don't have to run for a living anymore."

Ye Ran muttered quietly.

After Michelle left, he became lonely again, he worked harder than before, but a year was not enough after all.

He just said it casually, but Freya's ears were pointed, and she came up with a small cane and wrote on the drawing board: "Sell artifacts to make money",

"Artifact, you mean",

Freya smiled happily, pointing to the sketchpad hanging around her neck, and pulling a pencil and eraser out of her pocket.

Ye Ran almost laughed out loud.

"Who would want such an artifact, haha",

Freya's mouth pursed and she looked angry, obviously very precious to her "artifact",

Ye Ran coughed and changed his words: "I mean, where will those blind profiteers in Stormwater City know how to recognize the artifact?

Freya's pretty eyes rolled and she wrote on the drawing board, "Makes sense",

She walked to the stove again with her little cane, and blew and blew at the blowhole.

It seems that it is necessary to join the Wild Wolf Guild in Andoru, although the terms set by that fat man must be very harsh, but what's the big deal about enduring these in order to enter the Momiji Academy?

In addition, you also need to buy a crystal ball to check the veins, skill trees, and origin power in your body.

Ye Ran drank some porridge in the morning, ate some side dishes, and then went out after telling Fureya a few words.

He never stopped practicing physical arts twice a day, morning and evening.

Heading north from Mud Street, there was a small building that had collapsed on a stormy night, and the survivors had moved away, leaving it borderless.

The open space is connected to a small earthen bridge from which many students walk to school.

This is the place where Ye Ran exercises his physical skills, although there are a lot of floors, masonry and mud and sand, but for Ye Ran, this is already a rare place to exercise.

As always, he opened the book "Advanced Physical Arts" that he bought from the students of Tydin Academy, and followed the above tutorial to make a few tedious movements.

Tydin Academy is a well-known private college in Stormwaters, and Red Leaf Academy is also a school that only celebrities and nobles can afford, this "Advanced Physical Arts" is the physical arts textbook of Tyding Academy, and the students of the advanced class have a copy in their hands, and they learn under the guidance of physical arts teachers.

Many students were miserable when they practiced physical arts, but Ye Ran never tired of it, or rather, this was the only way for him to become stronger.

If there is no systematic learning, it is difficult to make the skill tree in the body take root without correct cultivation and guidance, and it is hopeless to awaken the origin power for life, in contrast, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, the physical arts practice that will achieve something is the only way for Ye Ran to become stronger.

Therefore, even if he is placed in the middle class of Tyding Academy, his physical skills are definitely outstanding.

He took the trouble to practice over and over again, making all kinds of difficult movements with his arms, snake hands, inch strength, finger amputation, slight sounds between arms wandering, occasionally mixed with the cracking of bone joints, and from time to time there were students with school bags on their backs to look here.

Almost all the students who often pass by this trail know Ye Ran, and they all know that his physical skills are powerful, and they have long been surprised.

A girl carrying a white embroidered bag came slowly, looking at Ye Ran, who was very forgetful about practicing against the book, from a distance.

She bypassed the students who were in a hurry to go to school, walked to the edge of the floor behind Ye Ran, took out a newspaper from the embroidery bag and dotted it on the floor, then picked up the white skirt and sat down, pulled the strap and put the embroidery bag aside.

She has a cherry mouth and nose, white and tender skin, and a warm and tranquil temperament on her body, no matter who sees her, she has a feeling like a spring breeze.

Ye Ran raised his head and glanced at her and nodded, until he walked through all the skills in his hand before standing up and saying, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all."

The girl laughed softly: "It's still early for class at eight o'clock this morning."

She unzipped and took out the lunch box from the embroidery bag and said, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, I brought you a bean paste bag, milk and bread."
