Exiting from the imperial study, Xue Yi's heart was cloudy, as if he had fallen into the abyss.

Lei Yu Sitong greeted him and asked with a smile: "How is it? What did my father say?"

Lei Yu Sitong's pleasant voice made Xue Yi's mood slightly better, and he smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, just ask how you teach in the academy." ”

Lei Yu Sitong stared at Xue Yi's eyes and asked, "Then what did you say?"

Xue Yi smiled bitterly again: "Of course I said that you teach very well, you are a rare good mentor." ”

The smile on Lei Yu Sitong's face bloomed like a spring flower in March: "What a good student." ”

But Lei Yu Sitong's March spring flowers couldn't drive away the haze in Xue Yi's heart, and he reluctantly laughed with Lei Yu Sitong and left the imperial city.

Xue Yi returned to the academy alone, lying down in the dormitory, his mood a hundred times heavier than his giant sword.

In fact, when he first realized that he liked Lei Yu Sitong, he thought of this, one is a princess, the other is just a grass people, or even an orphan, how can such two people be together?

It's just that he didn't think about it carefully at the time.

Now that Lei Yuxian mentioned it to him in person, and this matter was clearly put in front of him, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Tossing and turning, dizzy, Xue Yi was so troubled for the first time in his life.

In the midst of incomparable troubles, Xue Yi had to enter a state of visualization and let himself forget about this matter for the time being.

After a night of visualization, although he still couldn't visualize the third layer of the ultimate fighting technique, at least Xue Yi had a relaxed night, and his soul had increased a little because of the night's visualization. It was now certain that his soul strength was even stronger than that of an ordinary dragoon.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xue Yi got up and went to the training ground to practice his sword.

As in the Dragon Arena, he can't let himself be idle, only in this way can his troubles be reduced by a few points.

In the next two months, Xue Yi practiced swords during the day and meditated at night, not daring to let himself be idle.

It's just that when Lei Yu Sitong came to class during the day every day, Xue Yi had to face such a reality.

Now when he is with Lei Yu Sitong, he cherishes it very much. He knew that he couldn't help but cherish such a day after a day.

But Lei Yu Sitong was still in the dark, and he didn't know what was going on. She just felt that Xue Yi seemed to be becoming more and more unsmiling recently.

Ding Li and Wu Yingzi also noticed Xue Yi's abnormality, they only felt that Xue Yi's cultivation was becoming more and more diligent, and his practice of swordsmanship was also so hard that everyone was surprised.

Ding Li shook his head helplessly: "Originally, the talent was extremely **, but now the cultivation is so hard, and you can't let people live?"

Wu Yingzi praised him: "Our Brother Xue, then we need to say, how can others compare?"

......

Time passed day by day, and I didn't feel that spring was going to summer.

In the past two months, Xue Yi's swordsmanship has improved rapidly, and the original one sword and ten shadows have now grown to one sword and one hundred shadows. The cicada wings stabbed out, like hundreds of swords stabbing out at the same time, enveloping the enemy's whole body, making people defenseless.

In the past two months, his dragon power has also increased rapidly, and finally nine days before the summer vacation, he has reached the tenth level of dragon riders.

And the micro-level energy in his dantian has also grown to the size of half a palm in the past two months.

The current micro-level power seems to be absorbed slightly faster than the first one.

The first time it took three months to absorb the size of a palm, but now it only takes two months.

Feeling the changes in his body, Xue Yi slowly raised his head.

It's time to head to Thunder Valley......

But before that, there are some preparations that need to be made. First, he went to the old man's weapons shop and retrieved all his dragon spears made of four dragon teeth. And the dark red gauntlet, which the old man had spent seven or eight months repairing.

When Xue Yi put on the gauntlet and injected dragon power into it, the gauntlet immediately began to change.

Click......

A series of sounds, the gauntlet kept turning, covering Xue Yi's entire forearm. It's almost exactly the same as the original.

Only the slight difference is that on the back of the handguard, there is an extra round piece of metal the size of a thumb.

"What is this for?" Xue Yi asked the old man.

The old man seemed to be a little older after repairing Xue Yi's handguards at this time, he lay in the recliner, shook slowly, and said, "Try injecting dragon power into it." ”

Xue Yi listened, and immediately injected some thunder attribute dragon power into it.

That piece of metal looked like it was only the size of a thumb, but it absorbed dragon power extremely quickly, and Xue Yi's dragon power was absorbed by a small half almost instantly, which Xue Yi was shocked in. But then......

Click-

There were two crisp sounds, and then something popped out of the gauntlet, startling Xue Yi.

I saw that it was a dark red bow with a length of one meter and five, the bow body seemed to be arranged by a piece of scale armor the size of a fingernail, and the bowstring was condensed by the power of the thunder attribute dragon, flashing with lightning and sizzling.

The entire line of the bow looks extremely fluid, and there is no doubt that it will produce great power.

In particular, the bowstring, which was condensed by the dragon's power, flashed with electric light and sizzled, looking extremely windy. Xue Yi didn't know what special method the old man had used to condense the dragon power into such a substantial bowstring. It is said that after the dragon knight reaches a high level, he can use the dragon power to condense various shapes, but the old man can use a set of devices to make his dragon rider condense a bowstring with the dragon power. This old man's attainments in weapons are really terrifyingly high.

Xue Yi gently picked off the bow with his left hand, took it off the gauntlet, and then pulled the bowstring away with force, but he could only pull it halfway, and he couldn't pull it into a full bow at all.

The old man squinted slightly, as if he was very proud of his masterpiece, and said, "There is a special device in the gauntlet, as long as the dragon power is input, it will form such a bow, and the bowstring is condensed from the dragon power. As for the arrow, there is also a hidden device in the gauntlet's forearm, as long as the dragon power is input into it, an arrow condensed by dragon power can naturally appear. However, this is too consuming dragon power, with your current dragon power, nearly half of the dragon power has been used to condense the bowstring, and if you condense one more arrow, the dragon power will almost be exhausted. Even if both of them were condensed, there would be no extra dragon power to shoot them out. So now you can only use ordinary arrows, and after you are promoted to a dragon rider attendant, the dragon power will increase more than ten times, and you may be able to barely condense a few arrows at that time. ”

Xue Yi listened and sighed in his heart.

It seems that he is still too weak, and condensing a bow and an arrow can exhaust the dragon's power.

Looks like we have to go to Ryugu as soon as possible.

The soul moved slightly, absorbing the dragon power in the bow into the body, and the bow body suddenly clicked again, and retracted back to the size of a thumb.

Xue Yi sighed at the magic of this bow as he re-inlaid it on the gauntlet.

This time, like the previous two times, when Xue Yi offered to give the old man some compensation, the old man shook his head and smiled: "Being able to watch a peerless dragon knight grow up and participate in it yourself is already the best reward." ”

Xue Yi had no choice but to thank the old man again and return to the Dragon Knight Academy.

For the remaining few days, Xue Yi didn't cultivate much, but tried to enjoy what might be the last few days with Lei Yu Sitong.

Finally, when the last day came, Xue Yi said goodbye to Lei Yusitong.

In the setting sun, Xue Yi watched Lei Yu Sitong walk towards the figure outside the gate of the academy, and his heart was infinitely nostalgic.

He couldn't help but want to stop Lei Yu Sitong and let him take another look.

But he knew that every time he looked at it, he would be more nostalgic, so he could only let Lei Yu Sitong leave like this.

But he was not reconciled, he was really not reconciled.

But what can be done about it?

How can the power of one person compete with the imperial family?

That night, Ding Li and Wu Yingzi dragged Xue Yi to the tavern again.

The semester is coming to an end, and the three of them naturally want to get together. Moreover, Ding Li and Wu Yingzi have not been very happy to see Xue Yi in the past two months, they are mainly here to make Xue Yi happy.

Ding Li took a sip of wine and asked Xue Yi: "Brother, what's wrong with these two months? Cultivating like crazy?" But I always feel that you don't seem to be cultivating for the sake of cultivation, you seem to have something on your mind." ”

Wu Yingzi was still like that, snorting in small sips, sucking up a bowl of wine in one go, and said, "Brother Xue, if you have something to say, maybe the brothers can help you." What if you don't say anything about holding it in your stomach and holding it out with internal injuries?"

Xue Yi had no words, only a wry smile.

Princess Lei Yu Sitong's identity is kept secret, how can he say this kind of thing?

And even if they say it, what can Wu Yingzi and Ding Li do to help?

Ten thousand steps back, even if the two of them cared about their brotherhood and were bent on helping, would the family behind them allow them to do so? No family would be stupid enough to confront the royal family.

Thinking of this, Xue Yi became more and more annoyed, picked up the wine bowl, tilted his neck, and poured it down violently.

On the last day of the semester, he did not take the initiative to not let Lei Yusitong teach himself in the next semester as Lei Yuxian requested. He couldn't have done anything like that anyway.

But he knew that this could not change the fact that he would probably never see Lei Yusitong again.

What's worse is that letting it minimize the royal family's favorability towards him. Once he makes any more unusual moves, the royal family will definitely take tougher measures.

In such a situation, he could only press his heart and obediently be a genius student of the Dragon Knight Academy.

That's it, that's it, he and Lei Yu Sitong are people from two worlds, and he is already a little delusional.

Now it is up to Lei Yuxian to cut off his thoughts, so as not to fall too deep.

Thinking like this, Xue Yi poured another sip of wine.

But the more he thought about it, the more Lei Yu Sitong's figure lingered in his heart.

In desperation, Xue Yi had to shift his attention to enhancing his strength.

Just as Ding Li asked, "You two, what are your plans for three months of summer vacation?"

Xue Yi came back to his senses and subconsciously said, "Go to Thunder Valley." ”

"Thunder Valley?" Wu Yingzi asked in surprise, "It's a very dangerous place, ordinary dragon knights can't enter it, Brother Xue, what are you doing there?"

Xue Yi raised his head and looked into the distance: "Enhance your strength." ”

Perhaps, only if he strengthens himself as soon as possible, to the point where he is strong enough to make the entire royal family jealous of the black-robed owner, can there be a glimmer of hope.

Of course, it seems that this is still wishful thinking.

Ding Li slapped the table: "I'll go too!" Anyway, there is nothing to do when I go back to the family, nothing more than to learn some aristocratic etiquette and the like, and I am annoyed to death." ”

Wu Yingzi smiled and said to Xue Yi: "I said a long time ago, wherever Brother Xue goes, I will go." ”
