Xia Xiao spread out the calligraphy copybook he had received three days ago, dipped his brush in ink, and prepared to practice. This was the teacher's intention. If he was given the copybook and his calligraphy didn't improve at all, it would be really embarrassing. Just as he was about to start writing, the door opened.
"Hey, are you practicing calligraphy?"
Xia Xiao had his back to the door, but the voice was extremely magnetic and carried the power of a dragon. One could tell it was Black Dragon. In order to adapt to human life, Black Dragon gave himself a human name, Tianming.
At this time, Tianming sat in front of Xia Xiao and watched him write, and then began to mock him without any concealment.
"You are a human after all. Your handwriting is worse than that of a dragon like me."
"Isn't this just practice?"
Xia Xiao was neither hurried nor anxious, and his mood was extremely calm, but Tianming started to mutter.
"Don't shake your hands, be more natural. Oops, you wrote it wrong again!"
"If you say that again, I'll smash the inkstone into your face."
Tianming snorted, he was not afraid!
"Look at your clumsy handwriting. It's really rubbish."
"If you have nothing to do, go out and find Feng Lu. Don't bother me."
Feng Lu is the name Bing Feng gave herself. Over the past period of time, Xia Xiao and Hei Long had a pretty good relationship and there were no conflicts. They even chatted occasionally, and only then did Xia Xiao know about his relationship with Feng Lu.
As the royal family and the largest race in the Wild Beast Forest, the Black Dragon and the Ice Phoenix have been engaged since childhood. This kind of cross-race engagement is extremely rare in the Wild Beast Forest because it will lead to the loss of pure blood. However, their engagement is to unite the Wild Beast Forest. The Black Dragon and the Ice Phoenix are aware of this, but there is no barrier between them, so their relationship is pretty good.
"We have to give each other some space. It's not like you and Shu Shuang, who stick together every day."
"We didn't delay anything."
Matters between men and women are indeed an eternal topic. Not only people of different ages, but even humans and wild beasts can talk about it.
"Do you guys usually have conflicts?"
"Why, are you having a conflict?"
"She said I didn't take the initiative to look for her. You bitch, you didn't have so many problems before."
Tianming crossed his legs and put them on the table, but as long as he didn't touch Xia Xiao's calligraphy, he didn't care. Elegant or not, it didn't matter in the dormitory.
"You are in the human world now, so you will change. Besides, you are not the only couple among these 400 people. If others are affectionate with each other every day, but you don't look for her, doesn't it form a sharp contrast?"
That's true, but Tianming is annoyed and doesn't want to care. Every day when they meet, they only say a few words, saying that he doesn't spend enough time with her, and then they quarrel for two hours. If he hadn't considered the friendship, he would have slapped her.
"I can teach you."
Xia Xiao was about to speak, but the arrogant Tian Ming quickly refused.
"No need, she will definitely not leave, if she leaves I won't want it anymore."
"ox."
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he felt a sense of accomplishment, but when he picked up the copybook, it didn't look that good. Instead, it looked like a deformed child, with the thickest parts not thick enough, and some of the vertical strokes were crooked, which was extremely ugly.
“It’s difficult!”
Xia Xiao sighed and prepared to write it again, but the door of the dormitory was almost knocked open, and Qin Feng rushed in and said in a rough voice:
"Xia Xiao, Senior Brother Chuan Lian is looking for you."
I put down my writing brush and put away my inkstone. It seems that I have no time to practice today. However, Chuan Lian was looking for me because of the trip to the Wild Beast Forest.
"Come back early to wake us up."
When Tianming said this, Xia Xiao rolled up the calligraphy and placed it on the bedside. After nodding, he wanted to leave, but Qin Feng said:
"Tianming, you go too."
"And my business?"
"My senior brother also asked me to call you."
Tianming stood up in an instant, somewhat excited. Although he was still accustomed to human life, he was essentially resistant to it. It would be good to be able to go back to the Wild Beast Forest, no matter how short it was. And he didn't have to go to class!
"Walk!"
In the blink of an eye, Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang, and Tian Ming stood in front of Chuan Lian.
"We are ready. We can go to the Wild Beast Forest now."
“So soon?”
This was a surprise, Xia Xiao was very happy, he hoped Shu Shuang could find a wild beast of her own, so that she would not be lonely even when he was not around. But Xia Xiao thought it would take five or six days to get approval, because he only realized this three days ago, and he didn't expect to be able to set off so soon.
It must be said that the academy is very efficient. But his reaction made Chuan Lian feel a little guilty, because three days was a very long time for them. If it weren't for the need to report to senior Hu Bugui, it might be faster.
"The talisman array connecting the academy and the Wild Beast Forest has been repeatedly tested and can be activated at any time. I will go with the three of you."
This is perfect. Tianming is familiar with the Wild Beast Forest and can reduce the area where the wild beasts are located according to Shu Shuang's needs, and can also ensure their safety. As for Senior Brother Chuanlian, he is a talisman master. If he can go there through the talisman formation, it will also save time on the round trip.
"So let's get ready now?"
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
After saying that, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang turned around and left. If they hurried, they might be able to catch the class tomorrow morning.
Standing there, Tianming looked at him with a hint of mockery and contempt.
"You're so happy, but you're going to look for wild beasts?"
"Looking for a beast with a predestined relationship doesn't mean killing innocent people. Besides, Shu Shuang's personality won't erase the beast's mind. There's no need to do this."
As Chuan Lian spoke, before he even waved his finger, Tian Ming had already sat on a chair beside him.
"Since we are destined to be together, why do we need to look for each other?"
Chuan Lian smiled bitterly. If he didn't know Tianming well, he would have thought he was just arguing. But Tianming was just like that. He had no bad intentions. Although his words were a bit harsh, he was just expressing his own opinions. This was not a good thing in the human world, but it was a breath of fresh air in the academy.
"Even if there is a destiny, you have to find it, otherwise what if you miss it?"
When Tianming heard this, he was shocked. It really fulfilled the saying of mankind: listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!
"I'll go pack my things too."
Since they were not in the same class, Tianming couldn't call Fenglu, but at least he said goodbye to her, so that she wouldn't say that he didn't look for her.
A full quarter of an hour later, Tianming returned to Chuanlian. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, who were standing beside him, had been waiting for a long time with their backpacks on their backs. Seeing their puzzled and curious eyes, Tianming stood beside them and said calmly:
"You can go now."
When we got to the square, Chuan Lian said before he finished printing:
"Wrap yourself up with your vitality."
Xia Xiao and the other two nodded and followed his instructions. Then Chuan Lian formed seals with his hands. He could form more than 20 seals in one second. This speed surprised Xia Xiao and the other two. Chuan Lian saw that the seals continued but he was not affected at all.
"It's all forced out. Sometimes if you're slower, you'll die."
In the academy, Sichuan Company is rarely so serious, but Xia Xiao and the others have not experienced it yet, so they don’t understand how dangerous the tasks they will receive in the future will be.
After hundreds of hand seals were completed, a talisman array appeared above the square, weighing down the peach blossoms on the mountain road. But soon, the talisman array disappeared, and the peach blossoms scattered.
The people watching the excitement in the square couldn't help but discuss. If they had known earlier, they would not have signed the spiritual contract. Now they must have many excellent choices to go to the Wild Beast Forest to find wild beasts. But if they didn't sign the spiritual contract, how could they walk to this academy? Thinking about it this way, how did Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang get here?
It was another storm. People from the Great Xia Dynasty were often surrounded by many people. They were not provoking or bullying Ling, but asking about Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. The people from the Great Xia Dynasty talked about it again and again, not getting tired of it. After all, this was one of the few times when people were around them. In this academy, the glory of the past was gone.
Many people were surprised, many people found it hard to believe, but those who really regarded Xia Xiao as their opponent were secretly working hard. After so long, it was time to stir up some trouble and see what Xia Xiao was capable of.
Inside the talisman array, there were tunnels of flowing light all around, and in front of him was the destination he was about to reach. This was a rare and difficult talisman array, requiring at least a million patterns. But for the academy, this talisman array was not precious, because there were so many talisman masters who could cast it.
The light was flowing very fast, tearing at people's vitality. If Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were to walk through it alone, they would probably be torn into pieces. But in addition to their own vitality, Chuan Lian also used vitality to protect them inside. But even so, the dynamic feeling of the space still made them feel like they were being violently shaken.
The body did not move, as if staying in the same place, but the lights around him flashed quickly, and in an instant it seemed to be far away.
When they blinked and opened their eyes, the scene around them had changed. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang stood firm and tried to get rid of the shaking as quickly as possible.
Looking up, there was a dense forest in front of him, and the sounds of animals and birds could be heard in the distance. These sounds made Tianming feel like he had arrived home, but Xia Xiao, who was using this kind of talisman array for the first time, was still in shock.
If Xia Xiao's sense of time was correct, it only took a quarter of an hour to get from Ningshen Academy to the Wild Beast Forest. But such a long distance, even if it was a destiny flight, it would take a whole day, which shows the practicality of this talisman formation.
"You go in first, I'll be here later."
Chuan Lian finished speaking, turned his back to the forest, and repaired the talisman array that would break every time it was used. Meanwhile, Xia Xiao and the other two had already slowly stepped into the forest.
Tianming has the physique of a wild beast, with thick skin and flesh. The shaking caused by the previous talisman formation has no effect on him, but Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang need some time to calm down!
"What kind of wild beast are you looking for?"
This was Tianming's second question. Shu Shuang had been shaking too violently before, making it difficult to communicate, so she couldn't speak. But now that she had returned to normal, she still found it difficult to give an accurate answer.
"This... I'm not sure either. I don't know who is willing to sign a spiritual contract with me."
Shu Shuang was humble and had no intention of forcing the wild beast to sign the spiritual contract, which made Tianming interested. Although he and Xia Xiao were not close friends, he was the first human friend he could talk to. He saw him every day, and it was great to be able to help.
"I know of a species with a gentle temperament. If you can gain their recognition, you will benefit a lot in the future. Not only can they fly, but they also have complete control over the wood element."
No matter which of the five elements, the power contained in it is not single. To be able to master the complete wood element means that, like Ju Mang, in addition to the most basic power of controlling the growth of trees in the wood element, one can also control wind and lightning. That kind of power is not possessed by most of the wild beasts.
"What race?"
