Teacher Zhuang stood on the podium and said to the whole class: "In another month, the annual college-wide martial arts competition will be held. In the last month, I hope everyone can work hard and let themselves I will select the strongest two from the whole class to represent our class in the competition."
Huo Xing asked: "Teacher, if you get a ranking, is there any reward?"
Teacher Zhuang smiled slightly and said: "Of course, the top three in the grade will be rewarded with a piece of good equipment by the academy. The higher the ranking, the better the equipment. At the same time, if any of you wins the championship, I will There will also be rewards in the class. Only the champion will have class rewards. As for the rewards, I will keep it a secret for now. Anyway, it will not be bad. My expectations for you are very high. Students, don't let the teacher down! "
Teacher Zhuang's words immediately aroused the interest of all the students, and everyone scrambled to express their efforts.
I really saw Huo Huo through Huo Huo's eyes, but what he didn't know was that Mr. Zhuang had already decided on a candidate, and the possibility of him getting the equipment was almost zero.
Feng Juan stood up and said proudly: "Teacher, don't worry, as long as you send me to the battle, I will definitely come back with a whole-year champion." Seeing her chubby and proud appearance, I couldn't help being a little funny. Girls are really strong.
After class, Feng Wen came to see me, and he said to me: "Lei Xiang, why do I feel that you have changed a lot after coming back from confinement?"
I looked at him in surprise. He really deserves to have the same strength as me. He actually saw the improvement of my ability. I said lightly: "Oh? What's changed, why didn't I notice it."
Feng Wen said: "Yes, there must be. Although I can't say it, I feel that you are not as cold as before. Instead, you have a calm aura. Now I am afraid that I am not your opponent."
I smiled slightly and said, "Maybe you are too sensitive, I don't feel any changes in myself."
Feng Wen looked at my smile, and said in a daze, "You still said that there is no change, did you laugh before?"
I touched my face subconsciously, yes, why do I love to laugh so much now, Zixue really has a great influence on me. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cultivate hard, I hope to meet you in the grade finals (students in the same class are divided into two and a half areas, and it is only possible to meet you in the finals)."
Feng Wen said: "Lei Xiang, are you so confident that you can make it to the final? You should know that our magic warrior class is always at the bottom of every competition. Students who specialize in martial arts and magic, because they are more dedicated, the speed of improvement is slow. faster than us."
I gave him a sideways glance and said, "Confidence is the best weapon. You'll know it when you're on the field." The three-month confinement has improved my strength and strengthened my confidence even more. There is only one opponent in my heart, and that is Riva in the fifth grade. Only he can really arouse my fighting spirit. Maybe I am not his opponent, but I must see how big the gap is between me and him.
Feng Wen said: "You bastard, you're back with your arrogant look, let's go, let's go have dinner together."
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm dating someone else."
Feng Wen suddenly realized: "Ah, by the way, you are the first one in the whole academy to chase after a girl so blatantly. I really admire you. If I have a chance, I will introduce a top quality to my brother. Hehe, I won't bother you. I'll find you." That boy Fengyun is going to eat." It's all about Fengyun's big mouth, and he won't be allowed to know anything in the future.
When I walked to the cafeteria, Zixue was already waiting for me under the tree outside the cafeteria door. She was standing by the tree like a pure lily among the green leaves. I talked for a while and kept you waiting."
Zixue gave me a sweet smile and said, "It's okay, let's go."
I stretched out my hand to pull Zixue, Zixue blushed, avoided it, and whispered: "There are so many people here, please don't be like this? Besides, the academy doesn't allow..."
I frowned and looked at her, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, I respect your choice."
Zixue smiled and said, "Go in and eat."
The cafeteria is still as lively as before, I have become a celebrity in the academy (it’s strange if you dare to accept the challenge of the number one expert, not to mention Zixue’s relationship), many people turned their eyes when I entered the cafeteria. I didn't care about going directly to Dafan, I bought the best meals for Zixue, and I bought two medium meals for myself.
Watching Zixue take small bites of food, I frowned and said: "You eat too little, eat more, otherwise how can you have a good body? Look at me, one meal is enough for you for a week Already." As I said that, I pointed to the mountain of food in front of me.
Zixue covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "If people eat as much as you do, you will be fine. Of course, you will eat more if you are big. I am a girl. If you eat too much and get fat, you will not like me."
My face changed, and I said, "Who do you think I am, Lei Xiang?"
Seeing that I was unhappy, Zixue quickly said: "Forget that I was wrong, I can eat more."
Hearing what she said, my face calmed down, and I asked, "By the way, where is that savage girl who always follows you?"
Zixue looked at both sides, and said in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, she went home for dinner, if you let her know that you said that about her, she will be angry again, I don't know how hard it was to comfort her yesterday. Yes, why are you acting like a child and want me to coax you, hee hee."
I smiled and said: "You are older than me, why are you coaxing me to be afraid. Then Jin is a savage by nature, why don't you let people tell you? You are used to it since you were young. Why do you always go home for dinner? , Is the food here not to your liking? I think it's very good."
Zixue wrinkled her cute little nose, and said: "The food at home is indeed better than here, but more importantly, we don't want to show our faces, and when we come here, many people will look at us, so naturally we can't eat well gone."
I snorted coldly and said, "Whoever dares to look at you, I will dismantle him."
Zixue pressed my hand, and said anxiously: "What are you doing, Man Jin is coming up again. You can still control everyone's eyes. Originally, my sister asked me to go home with her for dinner at noon, but you invited me .”
I asked suspiciously, "Sister? Which sister?"
Zixue looked at me like a monster, and after a while, she said, "You don't even know my sister's name? You're too ignorant."
I smiled indifferently and said, "Is your sister famous? She doesn't seem to be the number one master in the academy."
Zixue said proudly: "Of course my sister is very famous. Although she is not the number one expert, she is the number one beauty."
I was stunned, the number one beauty in the college, this is a bit exaggerated, this duke is too good at giving birth, both daughters are beautiful, I asked: "How many children are there in your family, don't tell me what else is there?" No. 1 beauty."
Zixue hit me, and said with a light smile: "No, it's just my sister and I. There are many people chasing my sister. Many people are not afraid of the rules of the academy. They will pursue my sister in the academy. Especially which Riva is the most vicious chaser."
I suddenly said: "No wonder he was so polite to you yesterday. It turned out to be related to your sister. By the way, what's your sister's name?"
Zixue said: "My sister's name is Zi Yan, a third-year student who practices light magic, and is the vice president's favorite student."
I was stunned, light magic, why does it sound so awkward, it probably has something to do with my practice of dark magic, who is born to be restrained.
It's great, I didn't encounter any trouble in the cafeteria today, and I ended my sweet meal with Zixue smoothly.
There is no class in the afternoon, so I went back to the dormitory to practice my Mad God Art. Since breaking through the first floor, the speed of practice is quite fast. Although there is still a distance from the second floor, I am confident that I can finish it before the competition it. What pleased me the most was the progress of the Heavenly Demon Art. Compared with before, it can only be described as fast. The third level should be much more difficult to cultivate than the second level, but the speed of my cultivation now is higher than that of the previous cultivation level. On the second floor. If this continues, my transformation into a fallen angel will soon be realized. I'm not afraid of Riva. (unfortunately not easily available)
Early the next morning, I took Heilong out of the academy for a run, when I ran into Zixue, and I said pleasantly, "It's so good, come to me early in the morning, let's go for a walk with Heilong."
Zixue came over, gently stroking the black dragon's big head, there was an unconcealable heaviness on his face, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"
Zixue suddenly threw herself into my arms and burst into tears. I hugged her soft body and asked: "Tell me quickly, what happened, is it someone who bullied you? I'll go and tear him into pieces." .” As he spoke, a cold murderous aura emanated from his whole body.
Zixue grabbed my clothes tightly, shook her head and said, "It's not that someone bullied me."
I was surprised and said: "Then why are you doing this?"
Zixue let go of me, lowered her head and said, "My father found out about us."
I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a big deal, I said, "That's all, miss, you almost scared me to death."
Zixue stared at me with wide eyes and said, "Is this not serious?"
I said indifferently: "What's the matter, anyway, sooner or later your parents will know. How did your father know."
Zixue shook her head dejectedly, and said: "Probably because she has eyeliner in the academy, and you make such a big fuss... you don't know, my father is very stubborn, if he thinks you are not good, no matter what you say Or it's useless to do anything, when I went back last night, he said to me with a sullen face, let me take you to my house tonight."
After hearing Zixue's words, I smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. With my terms, would your father still disagree? I didn't expect to see the parents so soon."
Zixue said: "You don't worry at all, my father is famous for his violent temper."
I snorted coldly and said, "You should know that I'm not very good-tempered either."
Zixue was so angry that she almost fainted. She got angry for the first time, like a little lion, and roared: "Are you going to the parents with this attitude? It's like going to a duel. That's my father over there. Can you fight him?" I can't get up. With your attitude, can I rest assured?"
Zixue's little face was flushed red, so cute, I hugged her and kissed her heavily on her mouth, Zixue struggled dissatisfied, but was overwhelmed by my strong passion.
After a long time, I let go of Zixue who was blushing, and said to her softly: "I promise not to conflict with your father, it's okay, don't be angry."
Zixue leaned on my chest and said: "Then you must do it, this is related to our future."
I nodded. Said: "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
…
Sitting in class, I was absent-mindedly thinking about the opponent I will face tonight—the duke, a powerful minister of the Dragon God Empire who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the prince. Huxing next to me suddenly stabbed me, I turned to look at him, Huxing said in a low voice: "Lei Xiang, please concentrate, Mr. Zhuang has watched you pull several times."
I just came back to my senses. Sure enough, when I looked at Teacher Zhuang, she gave a reproachful look, and I hurried back with an apologetic smile.
Soon, school was over at noon, and Zixue told me in the morning that she would not have lunch with me at noon, and she would go home to make some arrangements.
After lunch, I went back to the dormitory and continued to practice my Mad God Art. Practice is the most important thing for me, because everything must be based on strong strength.
I don't know how long it took, Fengyun ran back and shouted at me: "Lei Xiang, hurry up, Zixue is looking for you."
I ran the Mad God Art for a week, took a deep breath, retracted my battle energy into my dantian, opened my eyes and said, "What time is it now?"
Fengyun said: "Look for yourself, it's almost dark. Hurry up, Zixue asked me to call you, she looks like she's in a hurry."
Sure enough, the sky outside had already darkened, only the faint light remained in the distant horizon, it was already evening, I nodded and said, "Thanks." , I rushed out of the dormitory, and as soon as I went out the door, I saw Zixue with an anxious face.
Zixue said: "Let's go quickly, my father doesn't like people who are late." She took my hand and ran outside.
Walking on the road, Zixue said to me: "When I see Dad later, you must have a better attitude."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to restraint."
Zixue said: "Also, Dad may test your kung fu, you have to be prepared."
I asked in surprise, "What level is your father?"
Zixue glanced at me and said, "It should be the middle knight of light, I haven't seen him make a move for a long time."
I was taken aback, and said, "Then your father has the level of an ordinary dragon knight."
Zixue said proudly: "Of course, do you think my father is so easy to come to be a duke? Although he is a civil servant, he has to be self-defense in his current position. Although he is not as good as the three marshals, But he is also a well-known master in the imperial capital."
I frowned and said, "Then how can I compare with him? I'm just a swordsman." Although I am very confident in myself, I will not be foolish enough to think that I can compete with the Knight of Light.
Zixue smiled and said: "You also have times when you are afraid, don't worry, my father is just trying to test it out, and won't fight you for real. Now, let's go in quickly."
I looked up, and it turned out that I had already arrived at the Duke's mansion. After settling his mind, he walked in with Zixue.
As expected of the place where the Duke lives, you can't tell how big the entire courtyard is. The courtyard walls are two feet high. When you enter the gate, there are many patrolling guards inside. The courtyard layout is not gorgeous, but it is very elegant. You can tell the layout at a glance Those who are absolutely extraordinary.
Zixue said proudly: "My yard is not bad, it was arranged by my sister." Hearing Zixue's words, I couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation for the first beauty in the academy whom I had never met. After all, women who value both wisdom and beauty are rare.
Zixue grabbed a servant and asked, "Where is my father?"
The servant said respectfully: "The Duke is in the living room. He told you to go see him immediately after you come back."
Zixue responded: "Got it, go get busy. Lei Xiang, Dad is waiting for us." I felt cold sweat dripping from her little hands, obviously very nervous.
I held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will make him approve of me."
Walking into the living room, the first thing you see is a spacious hall. According to my estimation, it is about 300 square meters. There is a person sitting on the head seat at the front of the hall. He looks like he is in his 40s. He must have been very handsome. On the wall behind him hangs a huge map of Nine Dragons. He should be Zixue's father.
On the left side of the middle-aged man sits a beautiful woman whose age cannot be discerned from the outside. If someone tells me that she is Zixue's older sister, maybe I will believe it. I can tell that she is a woman from her headdress. Could it be that she is Zixue's mother? If so, it can explain why Zixue and her sister are the second of the eight beauties in the academy.
When I saw the lower head on the right, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, it was so beautiful, a beautiful woman in a light blue dress was sitting there, she should be about the same age as me, and she looked a bit like Zixue Xiangdan is three points better than Zixue, and she should be a little taller than Zixue. When she saw me and Zixue coming in, she smiled at Zixue and didn't even look at me. She is indeed the number one beauty in the academy. Sure enough, she is arrogant and domineering. What caught my attention the most about her was the sacred aura on her body, which was definitely the result of many years of practicing light magic. She should be Zi Yan.
These were just what I saw for a moment, Zixue had already run forward, and said to the middle-aged man: "Father, I'm back, this is Lei Xiang."
I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Hello, Lord Duke, Lei Xiang, a grassroots man."
The Duke nodded, no emotion could be seen from his face, he said lightly: "You raise your head."
I stood up straight and looked at the Duke. There were two sharp rays of light in the Duke's eyes, and he looked me up and down carefully. Zixue winked at her mother quietly, and the Duchess said: "My lord, look at this child's figure is really good, rarely able to See someone as tall as him."
It seems that the Duchess has no status in the family, the Duke just gave me a noncommittal grace, and said to me: "Lei Xiang, I heard that you claimed to pursue my daughter in Tiandu Academy, is that right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes."
The Duke frowned and said, "Then you should know that Tiandu Academy prohibits students from developing relationships with men and women."
I nodded again and said, "I know."
The Duke stood up abruptly, and said with a little anger: "Now that you know, I hope you won't pester my daughter anymore."
I glanced at the Duke and replied: "I'm sorry, I can't do it." A cold aura came out from my body, asking me to leave Zixue? Not even if you are his father. My change immediately attracted everyone's attention, Zixue kept pulling my clothes from behind.
The Duke suddenly became angry and said, "Who do you think you are, are you worthy of my daughter?"
I smiled lightly and said: "As for being worthy, I should let Zixue judge by herself. Since you are a duke, I don't think you should underestimate me because of your status. If you go back thirty years, You also like the daughter of the rich and powerful, so what will you do? Do you just give up because of what her father said? The status will change with the change of people. Maybe, 10 or 20 years later, I will sit Your position is no lower than yours." My tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and everyone present was stunned, no one would have thought that I would dare to confront the Duke.
Zi Xue exclaimed: "Lei Xiang, you promised me."
I thought to myself, Zixue, how can you understand your father's mentality, if I bow my knees, it will only cause him to look down. Although my current approach is somewhat risky, there are always some opportunities.
The Duke stretched out his hand to stop Zixue from continuing, as if he was caught by what I said, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. With such ambition, I want to see what strength you have to speak like that, and see how you move."
He first waved his sleeves and sent Zixue away from my side, then he slapped me with a light palm, the strong fighting spirit enveloped the range of 1 zhang, he was going to force me to fight recklessly. Instead of being surprised, I was overjoyed. I knew that he would definitely test me. As the duke, of course he couldn't fight me all over the place. The duke attacked, and my chance came.
I concentrated my energy, channeled my Mad God Dueling Qi to my right fist, took a small step with my left leg to the left, lowered my waist and slammed into the horse, and shouted: "Hey." I punched him.
Fighting Qi surged out from my right fist, forming a pale yellow column of fighting energy that hit the Duke's right palm.
I noticed something was wrong when the fists and palms intersected. The Duke's fighting spirit was not outward, but internal. When my fighting spirit touched his palm, it couldn't hurt him at all. When the fists and palms were connected firmly, I felt the Duke's fighting spirit was straight. Peace, seven waves came from his palm one after another, one was stronger than the other, and with a bang, the air flow violently rolled out with us as the center.
Zi Yan was extremely calm at this time, and she let out a light barrier, covering me and the duke in it. Although the scattered fighting spirit collided with the barrier, it was crumbling, but there was no trace of it escaping.
I kicked, kicked, kicked and retreated seven steps, until I bumped into the enchantment issued by Zi Yan before stopping my figure.
A look of surprise flashed in the Duke's eyes, he let out a long laugh, his body quickly moved over, and he slapped out again, as expected, it was indeed worthy of the strength of the Knight of Light, it was indeed powerful, and I quickly released the first-level attack magic of each department ( Due to the low level of magic, it can be issued quickly) trying to disturb the Duke, while condensing the mad god art again, shouted: "Storm and rain." This time, instead of facing the Duke, he punched the ground heavily. , I didn't care about damaging things anymore, and finally used the first form of the Mad God Fist for the first time - the violent storm, which is also the only form I can use.
The Duke sent out his fighting spirit and easily resisted my magic. When he found that I didn't meet his attack, he was afraid that he would kill me. , the floor in front of him burst suddenly, and a burst of strong fighting spirit shot up into the sky with debris, just hitting his palm. It's not that I don't want to explode from directly below him, nor is it that I don't want to attack from behind him, but in that case, with his strength, he may not be able to hurt him, but it will anger the Duke. If I directly attack his hand like this, not only can he Resolving the immediate crisis can also leave a good impression on the duke. He will definitely understand that I want to compete with him in an open and honest manner.
The Duke realized something was wrong when the ground burst, and immediately changed the front beat to the down beat, facing the storm.
The powerful recoil caused my whole body to burst with pain. If it wasn't for my extraordinary physical defense, I'm afraid I would have spurted blood.
This time, due to being caught off guard, the Duke was shocked and took a step back. The violent airflow and debris successfully broke through the barrier under Zi Yan's cloth, and the whole living room suddenly became a smoky atmosphere.
I am fully on guard to prevent him from attacking again. If he comes again, I'm afraid I will use the Heavenly Demon Art, otherwise it will be difficult to resist. This is a situation I don't want to see.
The Duke stood where he was, with a thick vindictiveness emitting from his body, forming a protective film to isolate the surrounding dust and smoke.
Ziyan also quickly released a defensive magic to cover herself and Zixue in it, and a gleam of splendor flashed in her eyes when she looked at me. The duchess used fighting energy, and a circle of light blue fighting energy protected her.
The Duke nodded at me, and said: "That's right, being able to catch my two palms with 50% power is considered outstanding among the younger generation. You should be a grade lower than Zixue, I guess, you The future potential should not be lower than that of Riva."
Damn, it's Rivana kid again, why do you compare me to him.
I said: "Thank you for your compliment, can you entrust Zixue to me now?"
The Duke laughed loudly and said, "When did I say that I would entrust Zixue to you, you thought too simply."
I said angrily, "You, weren't you trying me just now?"
The duke said: "That's just a test of your skills. If you want to associate with my daughter, you have to pass the test I just had. Now you barely pass. However, my daughter is still young and the sky You are not allowed to have boyfriend and girlfriend, so you are not allowed to get too close to my daughter in the future, do you hear me?"
Hearing that I barely passed, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least he no longer objected.
I bowed and saluted, "Thank you then. I won't be 'too' close to Zixue in the future."
The Duke nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I only recognize you temporarily, don't be too happy, the future development depends on yourself, if you can't meet my requirements, I will let Zixue cut off contact with you at any time .”
I was stunned, and asked stupidly: "What do you want?"
The Duke smiled and said, "Being my son-in-law is not so easy. Although your talent is good and your foundation is solid, there is still a big gap in strength. What you will do in the future depends on your own efforts. Also, you don't want me to marry my daughter to a commoner, do you? Well, I won't entertain you anymore, come and see off."
After being sent out of the duke's mansion by the servant, I thought about what the duke said just now. It took me a long time to realize that I was fooled by him.
He's fucking, what kind of duke is this, he's just an old fritter, saying that he temporarily approves me, isn't it the same as not approving me? He wants me to improve my strength, and wants me to be an official, dizzy, who knows what his standards are, he won't let me be a dragoon general.
I went back to the dormitory full of depression. In order to make my heart feel better, I practiced Tianmojue as usual. The cold and painful feeling immediately calmed my heart down.
At noon the next day, I met Zixue in the cafeteria, and complained to her: "Your father is too cunning, he tried me yesterday, why did he add so many conditions."
Zixue smiled and said: "Do you think it's so easy to become an official? I don't know how much hard work Dad has spent to get to where he is today. He's tempted you, and you have no power to fight back. But don't be angry. , Yesterday, after you left, my father said that he still appreciates you very much."
I snorted coldly and said, "I don't care if he appreciates me or not, as long as you appreciate it. If he doesn't agree with our affairs, I'll take you away."
Zixue blushed and said, "I hate it."
My face changed, and I said, "Aren't you willing to come with me?"
