"It's okay, they are not enemies, it's okay." Du Yu comforted his pet softly, and also called the little firefly outside the leaf cocoon through the contract.
"Hmm~" Xiaoyan's tense nerves relaxed a little. Looking a little tired, she slowly lay down on Du Yu's chest.
The little firefly's body, which appeared and disappeared, also passed through layers of leaves and floated into the leaf cocoon.
It was not dark inside the airtight leaf cocoon. The rich wood demon's breath released bits of green light, healing Du Yu's body.
The feeling of having his body nourished by the green light spots was extremely comfortable. He even had the illusion that his skin had gotten much better.
Oh... It's really troublesome.
Because of this pair of Burning Sun Eyes, my looks are soaring. If I continue to be nurtured like this, I will really become a pretty boy.
Hmm... It seems to be in line with my current identity
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you." Du Yu reached out and grasped the torch handle, bringing it to his face. "Thank you."
"Hmm~" Xiao Yan moaned coquettishly, rubbing her furry little head against Du Yu's chin.
The little firefly's big eyes blinked, and the flame on its head lit up slightly. It was so happy to receive praise from its owner!
The cute dance reappeared, and Xiao Youying started spinning in circles in front of Du Yu's face again.
Xiao Yan unexpectedly changed her usual behavior and did not dislike this little guy who smelled like rotten eggs. She just rubbed Du Yu's chin and moaned softly: "嘤~"
Oh? Youying also advanced to Earth Level·Minor Success
The message that Xiaoyan conveyed through the contract made Du Yu feel happy!
Xiao Yan was also at Earth level, Minor Success. She took advantage of Du Yu's promotion to advance together with him in his acupuncture point home. Only one day later, Xiao Youying also advanced in battle.
As if sensing Du Yu's joy, the little firefly not only spun around, but its torch head also seemed to be brighter...
"No! Don't explode!" Du Yu was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the torch handle, smashing the Youying torch with his head...
Even after taking Xiao Youying back into his body, Du Yu still felt a wave of fear.
The space inside the leaf cocoon is not big and airtight. If Xiao Youying were to explode like this, both the person and the two pets would be fainted on the spot... ...
I don’t know how long it was, but just when Du Yu was drowsy, he felt himself being let down.
As the branches gradually withdrew, the leaf cocoons slowly opened, and Du Yu slid down into the seat. A tall figure stood in front of him.
The dark, scarred face revealed his identity.
"Master Gong?" Du Yu held Xiao Yan in his arms and immediately looked around.
This should be a small auditorium in a building in the barracks. The room was empty. Apart from the soldiers who were leaving, there was only Gong Cheng there. No one knew where Li Mengnan had gone.
Gong Cheng stood in front of Du Yu's desk and said something humane: "Not bad, especially the training of the demon pet, which is very good."
Everyone has seen the performance of Fox Xiaoyan and Xiao Youying, especially the colorful demon pet, Little Fire Fox, who can kill anyone who stands in his way!
He had the style of a great general charging forward in ancient times, charging into battle all the way, and no one could match him!
Having said that, this group of demon tamers and demon warriors were in big trouble when they encountered a demon pet with the output strength of glory gold. It felt like they were hit by a dimensionality reduction attack...
Gong Cheng continued: "But you also benefit from the spiritual energy. You can fill the bottomless space with demonic energy, so your demon pets can continue to perform stably."
Hearing this, Du Yu remained calm. It seemed that Gong Cheng already knew that he had spiritual power.
Gong Cheng: "Other people's demon auras are all one-time, such as Lin Shiwei. Before the mission was changed, she also went very deep into the bottomless pit and earned a lot of points, resulting in excessive battle losses. When she returned to the door to intercept you, there was only one demon pet left to participate in the battle."
Du Yu curled his lips and said, "She can have two demon pets, so I can't beat her?"
Gong Cheng actually laughed: "Why, have you forgotten that girl pressed you against the wall and beat you just now?"
Du Yu said angrily: "What are you talking about? She and I were fighting each other! Besides, I won!"
Gong Cheng snorted coldly: "You are one level ahead of her, you should have won, but you ended up letting the girl pin you against the wall..."
"Teacher Gong." Du Yu looked upset and kept muttering, "Don't keep saying things like pushing me against the wall. I'm a little girl. It would be bad if it got out."
Gong Cheng looked strange, and looked Du Yu up and down: "I suggest you learn a close combat skill. You are still young and have a lot of room for development."
Du Yu finally understood Gong Cheng's intention and said hurriedly, "Actually, I can fight in close combat. For the customized demon soldiers I rewarded this time, I plan to have them equip the ends of their bow arms with sharp blades."
Gong Cheng thought about it and said, "After all, the types of bows are limited. If you like sharp blades, you can also practice skills such as daggers and bayonets.
Next time you get into close combat with someone, don’t let that girl pin you against the wall and beat you up like you did today.”
Du Yu: “…”
I'm afraid I can't get over this hurdle.
Gong Cheng looked at Du Yu, then at the strange-colored demon pet squatting on his shoulder: "I will discuss this matter with Master Qing. You should train well under her and gain a foothold in the Demon Spirit Academy as soon as possible.
I will continue to pay attention to you, and if possible, I hope to take you to the battlefield in the future."
"ah?"
Gong Cheng's face was very serious: "The spiritual energy in your body is extremely precious and has a great effect. It can provide great protection for our human warriors.
But it’s not possible at this stage, you are still too weak and will only be a burden in the team.”
Du Yu: “…”
While secretly complaining in his heart, Du Yu suddenly remembered the Demon Fire, the Demonic Treasure. He hurriedly asked, "Master Gong, today I have only explored the first two layers. What if I continue to go deeper underground? Will the cold air always avoid me?"
Gong Cheng shook his head: "When the concentration of the surrounding cold air is high enough, it won't matter whether they hide or not, after all, they are everywhere. As long as you replenish your demonic energy, the cold air will definitely enter your body, which is very dangerous."
Du Yu was a little worried: "The spiritual energy in my body is still too little. If I continue to practice in this environment, I don't know when I can make a breakthrough. I am a little afraid that it will be extinguished by the cold air."
Gong Cheng suddenly suggested: "The Shadow Gu Tower is an extremely rare opportunity, have you ever thought about continuing to try it?"
Du Yu whispered, "Master Qing asked me to reach the peak of the Demon Tamer level before I am qualified to go investigate again."
Gong Cheng reached out to the little fire fox and said, "You have an extremely powerful demon pet. Perhaps I can relax my requirements for you... Hmm?"
"嘤~" Xiao Yan dodged Gong Cheng's hand and hid behind Du Yu. Her tail naturally hooked around Du Yu's shoulder.
As a result, Gong Cheng also noticed the strands of golden fluff on the tip of her tail.
Gong Cheng looked puzzled and looked carefully again and again: "Your little fire fox of different colors has a tendency to turn golden in its tail."
"Really?" Du Yu is not good at anything and is the best at playing dumb.
He picked up Xiaoyan and pinched her big tail, carefully examining the tip of her tail.
The red fur all over its body is extremely beautiful, and the tip of its tail is dotted with a hint of mysterious dark gold, which is extremely beautiful...
Gong Cheng frowned, and for a moment, he thought of many possibilities.
For example, the identity of the little fire fox itself is different, and the changes it has undergone cannot be inferred by common sense. For example, what about the spiritual energy in Du Yu's body
"Teacher Gong?"
"Yeah." Gong Cheng came back to his senses, with a hint of anticipation in his heart, "You know, most of the monsters in the world today are not in their most primitive form when the species was born.
Over the past thousands of years, as the demon world has continued to evolve, the various demon beast races have also undergone changes, including size, color, and even shape..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the auditorium.
Gong Cheng paused and said, "Train your little fire fox well... Come in!"
Following the sound, several contestants walked in from the door, including Li Mengnan. She was wearing a black cloak and stood out from the other students.
After seeing Du Yu, her beautiful eyes were filled with joy and she trotted towards Du Yu. How could she look hurt at all
Before they reached the place, Li Mengnan stretched out his arms towards Du Yu, which left Du Yu stunned.
This... is the intimacy increasing so quickly
Although you and I are the elder brother and the younger brother, it is not appropriate to hug and celebrate in broad daylight...
Du Yu was still hesitating, but the fox Xiaoyan on his shoulder had already jumped out, letting out a whimper: "Hmm!"
Du Yu: “…”
Among the people who entered the auditorium, Du Yu also saw a familiar figure. It was the girl who pressed him against the wall... well, fought with him—Lin Shiwei.
Gong Cheng said in a deep voice: "Find a place to sit."
Contestants 8 and 9 were confused, but still followed Gong Cheng's orders and found seats nearby and sat down.
Gong Cheng got straight to the point: "On behalf of the Demon Spirit Academy, I'm here to inform you that the one-year probation period for becoming a regular student has ended, and you will be admitted early this September."
"Oh?" Li Mengnan was delighted and sat down next to Du Yu while holding Xiaoyan.
She is already a beginner demon tamer and still has a full 10-month probation period. There is no pressure for her to meet the admission requirements, but enrolling early
This way, you can enjoy the resources allocated by the school in advance, and you don’t have to act as a guerrilla like you do now and look for a nanny team in society on your own.
Gong Cheng glanced past Du Yu and Li Mengnan in the front row, and looked at the people gathered in the back: "Although you failed in your mission, your performance in this event is remarkable and worthy of the school's exceptional recruitment."
Several students showed joy on their faces, but Du Yu disagreed with such remarks.
He always felt that the school had seen the talent and potential of the "Paper Crane Disciples" and had begun to snatch them away in advance, at least to snatch away the best Paper Crane Disciples around Songgu Pagoda first.
By September next year, the strength of this group of Paper Crane disciples will surely reach a certain level, and they may not choose to enroll in school but go elsewhere.
Not to mention that other demon academies might come to poach people, just talking about the various demon-controlling industries in society, as long as you are a capable demon-controller, you can live a good life anywhere.
Gong Cheng changed the subject and said, "But you also know that you will be enrolled together with last year's non-staff students.
They have been observed for a whole year, and quite a few of them are peak demon tamers, or have trained their pets to the peak earth level.
This means that you, the group of students who were admitted as special admissions, will have to compete with this group of people for the school’s teaching resources.
Not only that, in the next few events, there will be Paper Crane disciples like you who will be recruited by the school as an exception. Your competitors are not only strong, but also unprecedented in number. "
Looking at the students whose smiles froze, Gong Cheng smiled: "You still have half a month to prepare. If you want to enter a better class and enjoy better teaching resources, you must make good use of the next half a month."
It seemed that beating up students was one of Gong Cheng's hobbies. He only nodded with satisfaction when the students' smiles disappeared from their faces. "People from the bookstore and the Cultural Bureau will be here soon. They want to meet you. You just wait here... Du Yu!"
Du Yu: “Here!”
"Li Mengnan."
Li Mengnan: “Huh?”
Gong Cheng rarely gave Li Mengnan a good look, and smiled at the two of them: "You are the winners, think about what reward you want, and talk to the people in the bookstore later."
Having said that, Gong Cheng turned and left.
For a moment, Du Yu and Li Mengnan looked at each other.
The reward rules for the competition are clearly written, including rings, demon soldiers and demon pets.
If you participate alone and win, the rewards will naturally be yours, but if you participate in a team, the issue of "dividing the spoils" will be involved.
Li Mengnan held Xiaoyan in his arms and pinched the pads on her little paws: "You choose first. I'm the eldest brother, so I should give in to the second brother."
Du Yu: “…”
"Haha." Li Mengnan looked at Du Yu's uncomfortable expression and laughed softly, "You are the main force, you have made the greatest contribution, you should be chosen first."
Hearing this, Du Yu was not polite: "Then I want the demon soldiers."
Li Mengnan: “Ah?”
Among the three options of rings, demon soldiers and demon pets, the selection order of demon soldiers should be the lowest.
Du Yu explained, "I have enough demon pets, and Master Qing has also specifically reminded us not to add any more demon pets to the team for the time being."
"Is that so?" Li Mengnan nodded slightly, thinking about her own situation and Du Yu's situation, she said, "Then I want the demon pet, you take the ring."
Du Yu felt warm in his heart and whispered, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? I don't plan to come to this crappy place again. The ring is useless. If you really come here in the future, you can buy Xiaoyan some delicious food."
As he spoke, Li Mengnan held Xiaoyan in front of his face and rubbed her nose affectionately: "This is how it should be distributed according to work! Xiaoyan contributed the most. When she bombed a large group of people, she sent the enemies out of the field in piles, right?"
"Ying!" Xiaoyan stuck out her pink tongue and licked the girl's fair face.
"Haha~" Li Mengnan's pretty face was full of smiles, with a little pride in her eyes, "The three of us are really strong!"
