"Xiao Ran and A Zhu have already been tested, it's your turn to show the strength of Sheng Guo."

Today, Xia Xiao was the only one who came to see Li Lunming. Although there was enough time, he still wanted to finish the test early and go back to continue his practice.

Cultivation is addictive, just like climbing a mountain, the higher you go, the farther you can see, and the more scenery you can see. And every time he stops, he can't wait to take a step and go higher. Therefore, since it is just a display, Xia Xiao made a hand seal without delay and released the vitality in his body.

The fluctuation of the vitality was so strong that it caused violent ripples in the air, one circle after another, spreading out in all directions. Xia Xiao's vitality tree emerged in it, which was extremely profound and mysterious. This vitality tree, which was displayed in the form of wood, was accompanied by wind, lightning, and its own infinite vitality, forming a well-deserved tree of life.

There are small fruits on the tree, only the size of a booger egg, but the vitality contained in them makes Li Lunming quite satisfied. After three months of continuous practice, if it were an ordinary person, as long as his will was a little bit erratic and no longer firm, he would fail to advance. But Xia Xiao succeeded in one try, and his aura was not impetuous, which was enough to show his strong foundation and strong psychological quality.

The energy splashed in the air for only a quarter of an hour, and Li Lunming said it was good, and took back all the energy that had been probed into Xia Xiao's body. It seemed a simple action, but in fact, it had already made Xia Xiao's foundation clear. After the detailed exploration, Li Lunming and Xia Xiao sat in the yard where the warblers flew and the grass grew, drinking tea under the tree and beside the flowers.

"It has been recorded. You can start the next stage of training. However, you seemed to rarely use the contracted beast armor when you were in Zhimao."

"I was in the academy when I was promoted to Zhimao, so I didn't have many opportunities to use it. It was also difficult for me to meet an opponent worthy of using my contracted beast armor."

"You didn't seem to have used it during the competition in Changbai Mountain."

Xia Xiao nodded and said:

"Many times I feel it's unnecessary to use them. They would still hurt even if they turned into armor."

"You are the only one who has this kind of relationship with a contracted beast."

Xia Xiao never thought he was noble, nor did he like to put that hat on himself. But he would use it when necessary. He was not the kind of person who stuck to the rules and could not think flexibly. But Li Lunming wanted to remind him of something. During the practice, only when you have accumulated enough experience can you avoid being self-righteous.

"The contracted beast armor can bring out the vitality of the contracted beast and the spiritual contract subject at the same time, and can bring out all the strength of the individual cultivator. Remember to use it more often."

Xia Xiao nodded and said a few more words, all of which were about wanting to go back to practice. Li Lunming had no choice but to let Xia Xiao go back after a few instructions. The latter walked very fast, as if he wanted to go back to see his wife. This desire and urgency for practice has made many people unable to understand. After all, practice is also a very tiring thing. Every time I finish practicing, I feel my brain is swollen, even a little dizzy, and I will feel depressed when I encounter a bottleneck.

But people like Xia Xiao just like that feeling. Just like many people don't like to eat egg yolks, but some people just like the pleasure of being choked and then swallowing it with a sip of water.

Xia Xiao is a person who is good at finding joy in adversity. He does not demand much from material life. He can live a life of luxury in the imperial capital, and he can live in Longgang, where he has no food to eat, and he can still eat rice even when the leaves on the plate have turned yellow. He can also live without servants to serve him. He can have a meal without meat and his favorite chicken feet, but he cannot stop working.

The so-called "finding joy in misery" means finding joy in misery. Xia Xiao didn't look for it deliberately, but he knew what he wanted. He always felt that lying in bed all day and doing nothing was the most boring. It would be better to work hard for a while, and then choose an evening to sit down and drink and eat chicken feet.

The black bricks and white tiles on the alley never looked at Xia Xiao for a long time, because he walked very fast and reached the other end in the blink of an eye. When he was about to enter the main road, he was suddenly stopped by Li Lunming. Xia Xiao turned around and saw Li Lunming raised his right index finger, his eyes full of expectation, and said:

"Don't forget to be steady."

Xia Xiao still didn't understand the meaning of "stable", but he knew what Li Lunming meant, so he nodded seriously and left.

Before the battle between Nan Shang and Da Xia started, he had to improve his strength. Although he now had a complete set of armor and could use the three lines in his body to move around Da Xia, Da Xia's strongest combat power was only at the level of Zunjing Shengguo. But Nan Shang's strongest combat power might have reached Qulun. Xia Xiao might not necessarily fight him, and the direction of this war was difficult to predict. But if he wanted to shock that kind of existence, he must have strong enough strength to support it.

There were pine forests and stone roads, and Xia Xiao was more familiar with this place than his bedroom. He even noticed a small tree growing beside the stone road, a small one with three leaves, a total of eight. The bushes on one side produced red fruits earlier than the peach trees, which were small and slightly sweet, but tasted bitter if eaten too much.

Sitting cross-legged and making seals, Xia Xiao has been sitting on this huge stone brick for three months, and will sit for another month. Although the change is very small, the stone brick has sunken a small part. Fortunately, it is difficult to move and cannot be moved. Even because of Xia Xiao's existence, otherwise it will definitely become another inspiration for the college, making future students feel extremely respectful.

As Xia Xiao calmed down, the energy of heaven and earth gathered here and flowed into his body. This simple action was often annoying because it was done too much, but Xia Xiao never got tired of it. The next time he got up was a few days later. But at this moment, when he entered a deep state of practice, Li Lunming from the town was holding a piece of paper and walked very quickly to Dimuli Courtyard.

Handing over the paper, Li Lunming was filled with surprise and said:

"Senior, Xia Xiao's speed of improving his strength has exceeded my understanding."

Dimuli looked at the data on the paper and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed fast.

"He is the darling of the wilderness, an existence that is difficult for us to understand. The things that surprise us may just be commonplace to him."

"But at this speed, if he continues for a long time, something might happen."

"He can't keep practicing. There are many bumps and obstacles on this road. He just needs to keep steady. We can't point out his path like we do for other students. We can only provide him with a good environment."

Li Lunming nodded slightly and looked in the direction of Xia Xiao. He couldn't help but say in his heart: Xia Xiao, Xia Xiao, broken things are not afraid of being broken, but intact things are most afraid of cracks. You have to be careful.

Dimuli followed Li Lunming's gaze and glanced outside the town. Thinking of Wang Ling who had come to find him in the past few days, he felt that the waves that Xia Xiao had experienced before had just subsided, and now they were about to be stirred up again. It was really a difficult thing. However, this time, it was not only Wang Ling and Xia Xiao who were moved, but also most of the students on the mountainside.

There are as many as 113 students staying on the mountainside this year, including 19 Southern Merchants, 14 Daxia, 9 Southern Kingdom, and 10 Shelie Kingdom. Once the war breaks out, these 52 people will be affected. At that time, a large number of students will ask to return home. However, Dimu Li has seen this situation before, and he has ways to deal with it. If he can't even deal with these, and let the students mess up, it would be a dereliction of duty!
