Since entering the academy, teachers have always spread the idea that everyone is similar. The foot of the mountain is the same for everyone, and all the knowledge taught by the teachers is the same. The mountainside is the difference for everyone. The academy will assign a teacher to each person who goes up the mountain. They will prepare a new training plan for the students until the younger students complete the next three years of academy.
There are many precedents in the academy where the assigned teachers were surpassed by their juniors, but their broad vision and knowledge of life must make them more mature than their juniors. Therefore, they are the most respected by their students. In the history of the academy, many assigned teachers died for their students. The person who served as Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's assigned teacher was even more prepared to face everything!
Xia Xiao's teacher had a book on his waist. He was no stranger to this tall and thin man because he had taught them when they were at the foot of the mountain. In Xia Xiao's mind, this was a thoughtful and well-educated middle-aged man. His self-introduction at this time was short and sharp.
"I am Mother Star Dragon, your dedicated instructor. I will be fully responsible for your training from now on."
Xia Xiao saluted, showing his respect without reservation. Standing by the window, he looked out at the meadow forest. The pine forest there rarely sheds leaves even in winter, and it looks extremely green under the snow, more vibrant than the willow trees in spring. The mother star dragon saw Xia Xiao looking over there repeatedly and asked:
"What's wrong?"
“There is no way up the mountain.”
Xia Xiao's brows furrowed even more. This was the strange thing he discovered this morning. He and Shu Shuang had looked through all the forests on the mountainside, but there was only one road, which was the road down the mountain. The rest of the land was all dense pine forests, without any trace of roads. How could they get up the mountain? It was impossible to fly up. In that case, many people would have no chance. Could this be the reason why so few people reached the top of the mountain?
According to the nature of the academy, there is a road from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, which is the same, and different people have the same road, which is a small difference. But the mountainside only talks about differences, so there is no road, the road lives in the heart, hidden in the unspoken. Sure enough, the mother star dragon pointed to the forest on the far left, her tone was calm, although there was helplessness, but the arrogance of her youth had long been erased.
"There are roads everywhere. My road is over there, but I can't get there. I don't know where your road is, so you have to find it yourself."
The vast meadow was surrounded by pine forests, and Xia Xiao didn't know where to find the way. Could it be that his way was hidden in the grass or behind a big tree? It was strange to think about it, but because this was the college, it became normal.
At this point, Xia Xiao lost his previous impatience. If he had time, it would be better to discuss more topics of cultivation with the teacher.
They withdrew their gaze from the window. The snow outside had subsided, so the two of them sat around the brazier.
"Your strength is in the middle stage of the young noble realm. It's only a matter of time before you improve. But your situation is a little special. I don't know if there are other contracted beasts, so I plan to try to test it out with a stimulating method."
Ju Mang and Xia Xiao have a very good understanding of each other. Although Huo Dou is a little irritable, he will not go against him like before. Thinking of this, it is indeed time to stimulate myself and take a look at the other three gray spaces in my body. I don’t know when the master and the vice-dean will come back. Xia Xiao can only become stronger to protect himself and Shu Shuang. But does the teacher really have a way?
"Senior, what are you going to do?"
Mother Star Dragon flipped open the book on his waist, swept his palm with his energy, and the Five Elements Diagram appeared. This diagram can be seen everywhere in the Great Wilderness, but very few people have truly studied it thoroughly. As a teacher, Mother Star Dragon has some unique insights into it. When he was confirmed to be Xia Xiao's special teacher, he studied it carefully.
On the slightly swollen eye bags, the complete five elements appeared in the eyes of the mother star dragon.
"I don't need to explain this picture to you, I'm sure you know that the five elements we are talking about are the five elements of vitality, which is a manifestation of power. Among them, water represents the infiltration of life, fire represents destruction and explosion, metal represents gathering and solidification, wood represents bending, straightening and relaxation, and earth represents fusion."
"According to your past experiences, the Wood Element first awakened in Longgang. At that time, you had a difficult life and your body was injured. The medicinal power of the spiritual medicine deposited in your body was numerous and mixed. If you were not careful, you would be destroyed. Therefore, the Wood Element's vitality was the first to manifest, helping your body to adjust and recover. This is the most common bending and straightening power of the Wood Element."
Among the five elements, the wood element has the strongest vitality. Stronger wild beasts can live again in a unique way. The pot of garlic flowers in the foothills may be the rebirth of a wild beast or a strong person who uses the vitality of the wood element.
"You truly awakened the Wood Element when Zhu Zai showed up and tried to kill you. Logically, you should have died at that time, but because of the complete awakening of the Wood Element's vitality, you saved your life. The one who appeared with the awakening was the Ju Mang you mentioned. And your Huo Dou awakened during the shameful incident in Wanling City. Unlike Ju Mang, Huo Dou awakened at the same time as the Fire Element, and grew very fast. This is related to the Fire Element's vitality. Any spark can set the whole field ablaze."
"I also think it has something to do with your tolerance, but these cannot be confirmed. It's just a guess. You can believe it or not."
Mother Star Dragon's analysis was just right, but Xia Xiao always felt like he was being watched. Mother Star Dragon knew too much. It should be said that the academy was too strong. It was just short of knowing what he had eaten, how many sips of wine he drank, and how long he had hugged Shu Shuang.
Being noticed is a good thing, but this form is a bit too much. Xia Xiao hid his emotions between his eyebrows, but how could his mother Xinglong, who has been a teacher for so many years, not see it?
"I mentioned the place names to tell you that geographical areas have nothing to do with awakening the five elements. I mentioned your story to analyze it and tell you that the awakening of the five elements is only related to the reaction of your body or your emotions. If you feel that I am intruding on your privacy or you don't want to listen, you can leave."
The mother star dragon would not be servile to Xia Xiao just because of his status. The teachers in the academy all have their own tempers, and no one indulges anyone. After all, once a person's nature is strong, it is difficult to suppress it.
The water on the stove was hot, and when the temperature was about right, the mother star dragon picked it up and put it aside. If Xia Xiaoruo really left, he would not be able to enjoy the tea and snacks he had prepared.
"Senior, I don't mean that. Please continue."
Washing and pouring tea, while Xia Xiao was sitting upright, Mother Star Dragon took out a few plates of cakes from behind. Now was not a daily lecture, so he didn't have many requirements.
"Don't be so serious. It's too tiring. Let's be more casual and devote ourselves to the real practice."
Xia Xiao thought it made sense, and his body softened. He leaned against the wall as if he was sleepy in the afternoon and was about to take a nap. Although it looked like a puddle of mud, the mother star dragon liked it because he was like this too. When he looked at Xia Xiao, he even admired him. In addition to being a role model in the classroom, he should not be bound by form in his daily life, so that he can devote 100% of his energy to thinking.
The academy was full of strange people like this. The normally serious Mother Star Dragon was now smiling in a hateful way, which made Xia Xiao feel a little hypocritical. He didn't know if it was because he had seen too little and was not used to it, or if he did it on purpose.
"Senior, which line should we start with?"
"Water."
The light snow with hot tea is quite pleasant, but Xia Xiao's mind is not on the warm tea. If there are three more contracted beasts and the power of three lines, he can fight against the fruit at a young age. In this way, after practicing for a while, who can defeat him?
This was the first time Xia Xiao was so arrogant, but if he could fully awaken the five elements, he would indeed be a special and powerful existence. If the opponent was a fire element, he would extinguish it with water. If it was a water element, he would cover it with soil. Repeating this process would be a game loophole that could not be fixed.
Taking a sip of tea, the mother star dragon did not eat breakfast and started to chew the pastries.
"Both the metal and earth elements have characteristics that are difficult to shake. In comparison, the water element is relatively gentle. Let's try it first."
"The five elements are in your body, so I can't pull them directly. That would cause you unpredictable harm, so I plan to take you to the East China Sea. That sea is the widest sea in the Great Wilderness World. I will let several other water trainers use their vitality to help you feel the power of water."
"Can I awaken like this?"
"Those who can swim have all drowned before. The water element is different from the fire element. You can't awaken it just by getting angry. It's also different from the wood element. If I kill you again, your life may really be gone. Since emotions are difficult to mobilize and the attempt of death and injury is too risky, we might as well go to the East China Sea."
Speaking of the sea, Xia Xiao had never seen it before. The spiritual sea in his body was always dark, not as bright as the golden beach full of parasols. This was his first impression, like the seaside is always associated with bikini beauties, their big breasts are about to burst out, they apply sunscreen to each other, their skin looks healthy, and then they play and fight on the wet and dry beach with water guns.
Thinking of these scenes, Xia Xiao became curious, to make up for the regrets of his previous life. In those seaside scenic spots, a bottle of mineral water costs more than ten yuan, and he can't afford to go there. But now it's different. The sky is high in this wild world, and he can go anywhere he wants. If anyone dares to charge at the beach, he will beat his dog head!
Although it is true that wherever you go, you will suffer, and there were difficulties in the past life and there are difficulties now, Xia Xiao still feels happy now. There is no rent or firewood, rice, oil and salt in his mind, and he only needs to focus on climbing the mountain!
"Okay, go!"
Xia Xiao's eyes were filled with growing anticipation. Ju Mang was a birdman, Huo Dou was a dog. One was warm and enthusiastic, while the other was short-tempered and swearing at every turn. What would the wild water beast look like? Would it be a small fish? A mermaid would be even better, with a graceful figure. A big whale would also be good, like the contracted beast of Teacher Fang Hai, soaring majestically in the sky and tumbling in the sea of clouds and mist.
After the knock on the door, Shu Shuang pushed the door open and came in. Xia Xiao was still leaning like before, while the mother star dragon teacher sat up and looked particularly serious. In comparison, Xia Xiao was lazy like a waste and disrespectful to the teacher. Seeing him like this, Xia Xiao had a bitter face, like looking at an apple, but actually biting into a bitter melon. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being as skilled as others and not being able to disguise yourself so quickly.
Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao with a little unhappiness. This was not good. How could he be so casual in front of the teacher?
Xia Xiao let out a long sigh and stood up. He decided not to expose his senior, lest he lose his dignity and image.
"Senior, when do we set off?"
"Early in the morning the day after tomorrow."
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang went out together. Mother Star Dragon watched them leave without saying a word, and then silently stuffed two pieces of cake into his mouth. They were delicious! But what he felt more delicious now was that his theory had become a reality. He had been studying for so long and stayed up all night until his head was bald. He had to see some results.
