Chapter 22: Changes in the Body
The morning air is exceptionally fresh, with a hint of humidity, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The early bird chirped beautifully in the trees, and the sound was full of joy, and it seemed that it was the early bird who had been poisoned. The half-hanging leaves of the dew-stained roadside grass reflected the crystal light of the water, and one of them reflected the figure of a young man walking by.
Faced with this vibrant scene, the corners of Leo's eyebrows unconsciously relaxed, and the corners of his mouth also outlined a faint arc.
The gray, misty sky in the dream world is always oppressive and unpleasant.
There are no people in the peaceful community at this point, and it seems to be particularly deserted.
Leo walked to the "fitness area" in the community, which is a sparse open space with sports equipment.
Horizontal bars, parallel bars, waist twisting machines, walking machines......
In the early years, when the community was first built, it was still a meadow, and later, with the increasing number of elderly people living in the community, under the strong recommendation of the heads of households, a "fitness area" was created.
Leo liked to come here in the evening when he was a child, sitting on the stone bench next to him, watching the old grandfathers and grandmothers dance the Tai Chi sword gracefully and calmly.
It's just that when I grew up and was busy, I rarely came here.
Looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar fitness area, Leo sighed lightly.
He went to the emptiest flat ground in the middle of the fitness area, unloaded the sword pouch he was carrying, and prepared to pick up the hardwood sword, but after hesitating, he reached for the bandaged Knight's sword of Ranlois.
After using the metal sword a few times, and then turning back to use the light hardwood sword, Leo always had a feeling of unhappiness.
Especially after absorbing the soul ash this time, the physical fitness has increased significantly, and this feeling has become more obvious.
At this point in time, there will be basically no one in the community, and the sword body is wrapped with a strap, so you don't have to worry about being discovered, even if you are found, as long as you don't untie the bandage, you can also use the prop sword to prevaricate.
Lifting the long sword, Leo straightened up, his expression became focused and serious, and began to practice basic sword moves from scratch one move at a time.
Chop, stab, point, collapse, hit, lift, pick......
In the past, he had practiced the basic sword moves thousands of times, but as time passed, he slowly became a little different in Leo's hands.
In the eyes of those who don't know how to do it, there may not be any difference, but Leo himself knows very well in his heart that when fighting, maybe a slight change in a certain angle, or an advance or slowdown in force at a certain point in time, will lead to completely different effects.
And now, these basic sword moves, although they don't seem to have changed much on the surface, have become more suitable for Leo.
"Hoo ......"
An hour later, Leo stopped and exhaled deeply.
It's almost time to go back.
At 6 o'clock, figures have begun to appear in the community, although I really want to try the Storm Sword Technique, Silver and White Meteor, but the time and place are not very suitable.
I guess my sister will be up in a while, and he has to hurry.
Cherishing the metal sword back into the sword bag, Leo hurried home non-stop.
……
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"
The vibration at the head of the bed made Li Fei wake up slowly.
Before she opened her eyes, she stretched out her hand, skillfully touched the mobile phone next to the pillow, and turned off the "vibrate" alarm.
It was a few more minutes before she reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes.
"Uh......h Is it dawn, it's time to get up and make breakfast. ”
Li Fei patted her face with her hand, trying to make herself more conscious.
Because of the company's upcoming event, she had to stay up late to write a plan to prepare, and she didn't get home until 2 a.m. last night.
Dressed in her bear pajamas, she walked out the door.
But after opening the door, the slight movement from the kitchen made Li Fei slightly stunned.
Who is it?
Slowing down, she walked to the kitchen and peeked.
I saw a young man wearing a white kitchen dress, patiently and meticulously cooking the ingredients in the pot, the rising sunlight projecting from the window glass of the kitchen, making the edges of his body appear pale golden outlines.
This scene made Li Fei a little stunned.
"Sister, are you awake?"
Leo tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, breakfast will be ready soon." ”
"Wow-"
Li Fei said with an exaggerated expression: "Today's sun is coming out in the west." I remember the last time you made breakfast, or the last time you came in an unknown number of years. ”
"Ahem." Leo coughed, pretending not to hear.
"Tsk, Xiao Ao, have you grown a little taller recently?" Li Fei jumped to Leo's side, compared his height with his hand, and exclaimed.
"I used to be able to reach your chin, but now I can't reach it."
"Isn't it normal to grow taller?"
Leo responded as usual, but his heart was full of joy.
This trip to the dream world, his physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, will his height change because of this?
"Adolescent boys, tsk, it's really enviable." Li Fei said unhappily, and then turned out of the kitchen.
"I'm going outside to wait for your love breakfast."
Leo smiled and shook his head, lowered his head and continued to cook breakfast.
Half an hour later, Li Fei, who quickly freshened up and put on makeup after breakfast, left the house with a small leather bag on her back.
Leo cleaned up the dining table, went to the bedroom, took out a tape measure, and measured his height.
"177, two centimeters higher than the last time ...... measured"
Leo frowned, the last time he measured his height was a month ago, it was "175 centimeters", with his current age, although it was a little more than two centimeters taller in a month, it was not impossible, it couldn't be concluded that it was the impact of the increase in the [Soul Fire Brightness] of the Dream World.
"We'll see it next time." Leo whispered.
Just as he was about to put the sword bag on his back and set off to the kendo hall, there was a "ding" sound, and the mobile phone on the bed sent a message notification.
Leo walked over and clicked on it.
"Leo, Master Jiang came back on purpose today, do you want to go and have a look, the location is still the Yijian Club, and I can help you ask for leave over there in the Kendo Hall."
It's Antonio.
Master of hypnosis?
Leo thought about it, although he didn't have much interest in the hypnotic master, but after all, this was Antonio's kindness, and it was really hard to refuse.
I want to know that a master hypnotist, how could he come back specifically for such a flat-headed ordinary person as him, and there must be Antonio's favor in it.
So he began to type and replied: "Okay, the kendo hall will trouble you to help me ask for a leave." ”
Not long after the message was sent, I received a reply: "What's polite, then you can go over by yourself, I still have something to do today." ”
“ok”
After editing the text message and clicking send, Leo sighed.
Forget it, it's just going through the motions anyway.
Think so. He picked up his sword pouch and pushed the door open.
