The mountain behind the college, the wind and rain pavilion.

There were still two days left before the mission started, and at this time, Bai Bing was sitting cross-legged on the trunk of a towering tree, breathing in the fresh mountain breeze blowing in his face, while quietly meditating and cultivating.

In the past few days, the bronze eighth-level Baiyun Dou Qi has been completely stabilized, and the various benefits after the upgrade have also been completely revealed.

Not to mention anything else, but in terms of body method, Bai Bing jumped from under the tree to his current height, and it only took two ups and downs to do it, which was two seconds faster than before the upgrade. Don't underestimate these seemingly short two seconds, between life and death, it is often a difference of one or two seconds that determines the final victory or defeat.

Moreover, Bai Bing sat in the wind on the trunk of the tree, and originally had a feeling of shaking slightly, and he also needed to adjust his center of gravity left and right to maintain the stability and balance of his body. But now this situation has completely disappeared, and in its place is a sense of balance sitting firmly on Mount Tai. It can be said that "the eight winds can't blow, sitting on the purple lotus".

On the other hand, Bai Bing's perception has also increased significantly, and he is more sensitive to changes in his surroundings. Although he didn't open his eyes, the image of a green finch fluttering its wings and flying high into the air was clearly in his mind when the wind blew the branches and shook gently, the leaves rustled.

It was at this moment that Bai Bing felt that a familiar footstep was slowly walking towards him from a distance. Judging from the sound and strength of his footsteps, the strength of the comer was extremely strong, but he did not deliberately conceal his existence, and just walked towards him normally.

Feeling that the comer was not malicious, Bai Bing also put his mind at ease and mobilized his perception with all his might to judge the identity of the comer. Soon, a chubby figure gradually emerged clearly in his mind, and he got closer and closer.

"Teacher Rogge, you didn't come to the Wind and Rain Pavilion at this time, did you come to me on purpose?"

Luo Ge, the deputy director of the Douqi Department of the Imperial Academy and the head of the Condor Department, stood on the soft black soil under the tree, raised his eyebrows, and was very satisfied with Bai Bing's performance. He judged from Bai Bing's slight difference in breathing that when the two of them were five hundred meters apart, Bai Bing had already sensed his presence, and when they were two hundred meters away, Bai Bing judged his identity.

After seeing Bai Bing's comfortable sitting posture on the trunk of the tree, and thinking back to Bai Bing's clumsy performance when he first came here to practice, even Rogge had to admit that even in the Imperial Academy, where there were so many geniuses, Bai Bing's growth speed was definitely demonic.

But he came here today, not just to instruct this kid to practice, there is one thing that must be confirmed clearly.

Rogge raised his head to look at the white ice on the tree, squinted his eyes so that the sunlight shining from between the leaves was not so dazzling, and then said: "Good boy, breaking through to the eighth level of bronze so quickly is really impressive, and I am surprised." ”

Bai Bing grinned, his whole person smelled of sunshine, and then jumped down from the trunk of the tree, his movements were clean and neat, and then he replied: "Teacher Rogge, don't make fun of me, I have this strength, and now I can't even touch the corners of your clothes when I fight, so what kind of proud capital is there." ”

"Excessive modesty is pride, haven't you heard of this sentence?" said Rogge with a smile, his words sharp, making Bai Bing a little overwhelmed.

Then Rogge continued, "I heard that your kid picked up a mission in the mission hall? Who did you ask to participate?"

"Oh, Teacher Rogge knows about this?" Bai Bing was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Rogge to care about this task, he frowned slightly and pondered, then touched the back of his head and replied with a smile, "This task was actually released by the Chamber of Commerce at home, and the content is to go to the black shell area of the imperial capital to clean up a gangster, and I can take this opportunity to go back to the imperial capital, in fact, I am looking forward to it, hehe." ”

"You haven't answered my second question yet, who are you going with? However, Rogge's attention was not on the content of the mission, but more on the composition of the mission team.

Although Bai Bing felt a little strange in his heart, in the face of the teacher's questioning, he naturally had nothing to hide, and hurriedly said, "It's my good friends, Jetdo, Lilith, Gustavo, oh yes, and Joshua." ”

Rogge really heard the name he cared about the most, his eyes narrowed, and the whole person suddenly revealed a fierce aura, and asked, "How much do you know about this Joshua?"

"Oh, Joshua?" Bai Bing felt the change in the atmosphere, and was also slightly nervous, "The acquaintance with him was an accident......

Bai Bing briefly introduced the process of getting to know Joshua, and finally added, "This guy's strength is very strong, which makes me feel like I am meeting an opponent in chess. What's wrong with him?"

"Chess opponents?hehe, that's an interesting description, but I didn't expect it......" Rogge nodded, feeling that things seemed a little different from his initial judgment.

However, in Rogge's heart, he was also secretly slandering, if Bai Bing knew that Joshua had a seal set by the strongest mage in the continent behind him, and after completely sealing his most violent bloodline talent, would he still have the feeling of meeting an opponent in chess.

"So, you agreed to complete this [gangster] mission together, and Alfred didn't object?" Rogge thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Alfred, oh, you mean his personal trainer? Why is he objecting?" Bai Bing wondered why Rogge asked this question, he hadn't figured out Rogge's intention for coming today, but he always felt that there was something out of his control.

"Oh, I see, I see. Rog nodded again, he was now sure that Bai Bing didn't know Joshua's true identity.

As a high-ranking member of the Academy, Rogge is one of the few who knows that the Empire's Junior Prince, the future heir to the throne, is studying at the Academy.

The academy did not pay too much attention to Joshua's existence, after all, the academy has a thousand-year accumulation, and I don't know how many princes have studied and graduated here.

However, due to the accidental death of Joshua's brother, as well as several inexplicable accidents, or assassination attempts, that he encountered since he was a child, Felipe the Great asked the Academy for special protection.

In the Radiant Empire, no matter who or organization, in the face of the emperor's request, must be given absolute respect. Even the Imperial Academy was no exception, and after high-level research, it finally came up with a plan for Joshua to hide his identity and study.

While secretly protecting Joshua, he also gave absolute respect to the prince's privacy. Therefore, after Bai Bing and Joshua appeared in the mission hall together, Rogge, who learned the news, was very surprised. There are even some who blame themselves, lamenting that they have been away from the front line for too long, and that they don't even know that such a big thing has happened under their noses.

For the task that Bai Bing and Joshua were going to complete together, Rogge had a vague premonition in his heart, as if some whirlpool was waiting for several teenagers in the black shell area of the imperial capital to throw themselves into the net. The current undercurrent of the imperial capital is surging, the clouds are treacherous, and the forces of all parties are intricate, like an unprecedented whirlpool of terror, even those huge enough sea beasts will be torn to pieces if they are not careful, and no one dares to say that they are invincible.

Therefore, he originally wanted to dissuade Bai Bing from getting too close to the heir to the throne, especially when they appeared in the imperial capital together at this time.

However, after the conversation with Bai Bing just now, he found that things were not what he thought, and Bai Bing didn't know Joshua's true identity. This made him change his original plan.

Since many things have happened, there is no need to deliberately suppress them, you might as well go with the flow and see what the future holds.

Rogge's face was cloudy, which made Bai Bing even more strange, and he asked, "Teacher Rogge, is there something I need to know?"

Bai Bing's way of asking is very particular, on the one hand, he asked his own suspicions, and on the other hand, he did not make any accusations or ask the other party to tell himself.

Only then did Rogge realize that he seemed to have been silent for too long, so he quickly retracted his thoughts, coughed, and then said, "Hehe, nothing, just ask casually." However, this time out of the mission, you have to pay special attention to your own safety, next month the Imperial Wind Academy will come to our academy to exchange and study, when the competition between the new students is essential, if you have something wrong before this, it will not be good. ”

Similarly, Rogge's answer is also very particular, hiding the real purpose of "you must pay attention to safety" under the background of the incident of "Emperor Wind Academy came to communicate", which makes it difficult for people to be suspicious.

"Oh, Imperial Wind Academy, Freshman Competition?" Sure enough, Bai Bing's attention was instantly diverted.

"That's right, although the Imperial Wind Academy does not have the long history of the Imperial Academy, it has sprung up in the past hundred years, and it has firmly occupied the second place in the Radiant Empire. This time I came to exchange, maybe I didn't have the intention of competing with the Imperial Academy. Therefore, as one of the strongest among the current freshmen, you must step up your special training and win glory for the academy when the time comes!"

Win glory for the academy? Bai Bing listened to the words that came out of Rogge's mouth, and always had the feeling of returning to Earth and listening to the teachings of the dean.

Afterwards, Rogge answered Bai Bing's questions in detail about his recent cultivation, and after arranging the content of the special training for Bai Bing, he left adrift.

The content of Rogge's special training this time is swordsmanship, and the specific method is also very simple, which is to chop leaves.

First find a small tree that is not very tall, put one foot on the trunk, and when the leaves are falling, draw your sword and swing it.

But this kind of slash is not a blind slash, but has strict requirements, and it must be split in two along the meridian in the middle of the leaf to be considered successful. Otherwise, it is unqualified.

Bai Bing is still very confident in his swordsmanship, after all, he has mastered the Baiyun sword momentum and three sword fighting skills. Among people of his age and vindictive cultivation, he can definitely be regarded as very outstanding.

But after the first few attempts, Bai Bing immediately realized his shortcomings.
