Chapter 109: Awakening
"master."
Nangong Jing shouted at Han Yan.
Han Yan took out an empty teacup, poured a cup of tea into it, and then placed it opposite his seat, with the obvious intention of asking Nangong Jing to sit down and talk.
Nangong Jing sat down obediently, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Hmm, it’s a familiar smell. It must be Han Yan’s treasured tea. He usually only takes it out when his good friends come over, and he is reluctant to let most people drink it.
"You want to ask me whether I should challenge the top ten in the third level, right?"
Han Yan looked at Nangong Jing kindly.
"Yes, Master. My results seem good, but I always feel that if I work harder, I can still make further progress. It's just..."
Nangong Jing looked embarrassed, his eyes full of confusion.
"But you're also worried that if you fail the third challenge, the points you've worked so hard to accumulate will be taken away. Losing your rank is one thing, but affecting Imperial Capital Academy's ranking would be terrible, right?"
How could Han Yan not know what Nangong Jing was struggling with?
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from the master. Master, what do you think I should do?"
Nangong Jing's heart wanted to give it a try, but his mind told him that it was best to just keep his score.
"Actually, the person you should ask is not me, but your own heart. Do you want to challenge it?"
"I do, but..."
Nangong Jing blurted out the words subconsciously, but soon his face showed confusion.
"If you want to do it, then do it. How can a cultivator be so timid? Are you going to be so cautious every time you encounter something in the future? If that's the case, there's no need for you to continue cultivating."
Han Yan's words were actually a bit harsh, but he also wanted to wake Nangong Jing up completely.
Han Yan's success today is largely due to his courage to gamble, fight, and even risk his life.
It was only after countless times of being in danger of death that he was able to achieve his current level of cultivation.
Han Yan's words were like a red apotheosis, which completely awakened Nangong Jing.
Yes, if the defending team loses, they only need to give up half of the points and they can still keep the other half.
If you succeed in the challenge, you will get half of the points held by the other party.
Even if you lose again, after deducting half of the points, you will still have a lot of points.
It won't hold the Imperial Capital Academy back, so why bother about it?
Unless it was Nangong Jing, who had no confidence in whether he could successfully challenge himself from the very beginning.
But if you don’t even have the confidence to succeed in the challenge, why bother to challenge it? Because you are already at a disadvantage from the beginning, aren’t you?
Just a small challenge made him lose confidence.
What should I do if I really encounter difficulties or meet a strong enemy in the future? Should I wait for death or beg for mercy?
If this is really the case, then there is no need to continue on this path of cultivation.
Because no matter what kind of profession you practice, if you want to have stronger strength, it will be accompanied by crisis.
If you don't even have the courage to face a crisis, you might as well go home and be a baby.
"Master, I understand. I was thinking too complicated."
Nangong Jing, who was enlightened by Han Yan, changed his temperament again, and gained some of the drive and determination that he should have at his age.
Han Yan looked at the changed Nangong Jing and nodded with satisfaction.
It’s not that Nangong Jing was bad before, he was just too calm, or lacked the drive to fight.
If Nangong Jing was older, or his cultivation had reached the same level as Han Yan and the others, then there would be nothing wrong with being calm.
But the problem is, Nangong Jing is only in his teens, at the age of impulsiveness, but he is as calm as an old man all day long. How can this be possible?
"Master, it seems that the only person I can challenge is Zhuo Yunsheng."
The Zhuo Yunsheng mentioned by Nangong Jing is Feng Qingfei's apprentice.
Although Nangong Jing failed to recognize the opponent during the second round.
But as Zhuo Yunsheng won again and again, his fame grew and his name became known to more and more people.
Nangong Jing also learned from some people's gossip that Zhuo Yunsheng seemed to be an orphan and no one knew who his parents were.
When he was still very young, Feng Qingfei took him home, saying that he was his apprentice, but in fact he was raised like a son.
Zhuo Yunsheng was also very hardworking. After being tested for his talent as a light magician, he became a junior magician in just a few years.
And like Feng Qingfei, he defeated many magicians of the same level with light magic. Everyone said that he was the second Feng Qingfei.
Zhuo Yunsheng himself also admired Feng Qingfei very much. When he was said to be the second Feng Qingfei, he was not angry but very proud.
"Zhuo Yunsheng was well trained by Feng Qingfei, but to be honest, his ability to reach this point also had a bit of luck involved."
Han Yan also admired Zhuo Yunsheng. After all, it was rare for a light magician to be ranked in the top ten.
If you don't have some strength, no matter how lucky you are, it will be useless.
Nangong Jing understood why Han Yan said that, because Zhuo Yunsheng's ability to get into the top ten was indeed due to a little luck.
For example, Sikong Changyi, who had fought one-on-one with Xuanyuan Xingyao before, if he hadn't been unlucky, he would have faced Xuanyuan Xingyao.
With Sikong Changyi's skills, Zhuo Yunsheng is definitely not his opponent.
There were also several contestants with good strength who unfortunately lost because they met other strong people.
If Zhuo Yunsheng had met any of them, he would definitely not have survived to the end.
"For this third level, my advice to you is Zhuo Yunsheng and the two little guys, Eighth and Ninth. Forget about the ones before that."
Han Yan gave advice seriously.
The eighth place is a contestant from Shuiling Academy. He is a wind magician, and Nangong Jing still has some advantages against him.
The ninth place is a contestant from Fite Academy. Although he is a fire magician, Nangong Jing is not completely hopeless.
Next, it depends on what Nangong Jing chooses. The easiest person to deal with is naturally Zhuo Yunsheng. If you want to challenge yourself, then choose the one from Fit College.
"Master, I understand."
Nangong Jing was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. After he figured it out, he raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Han Yan.
"Just think it through. You can plan your own schedule for the next ten days. Summoners like us are different from warriors and mages. We can't improve our strength through short-term special training. So I won't arrange any special training. You can plan your schedule however you want."
Han Yan said lovingly.
"There's just one thing. Don't forget to train your mental strength every day. Also, don't draw the fifth-level summoning diagram until I give you my approval."
Han Yan thought of Nangong Jing's occasional mischief and gave him a serious warning with some concern.
"Don't worry, Master. I won't joke about my future."
In fact, only Nangong Jing knew that the "golden finger" he brought from his previous life was almost used up after he became a summoner.
In this life, Nangong Jing has never stopped practicing his spiritual power.
This is why Nangong Jing's mental power is still among the best among summoners.
But if Nangong Jing wants to continue to dominate the field, he can only rely on himself to work harder.
Moreover, if Nangong Jing wanted to go from summoning spirits to summoning masters, it would no longer be as easy as before.
Han Yan still believed what Nangong Jing said, so he gave Nangong Jing a few more instructions and let him go back.
After Nangong Jing left Han Yan's residence, he first went to the embassy to find General Qi and told him that Xuanyuan Xingyao had been taken away by Bing Linxuan, so as not to worry General Qi.
General Qi was indeed worried when he learned that Xuanyuan Xingyao had been taken away and would not be back for ten days.
But after knowing that it was his master Bing Linxuan who took Xuanyuan Xingyao away, General Qi completely relaxed.
Bing Linxuan is the War Emperor. With him around, how can Xuanyuan Xingyao's safety not be guaranteed?
When Feng Xuanzhou saw Nangong Jing coming back alone, he initially thought it was Xuanyuan Xingyao who was being instructed by Nangong Jing to buy some snacks again.
Because this kind of thing happens often, it's not just once or twice.
But after asking later, he found out that Xuanyuan Xingyao was taken away by Bing Linxuan for special training, and his brows frowned quickly.
After all, Bing Linxuan’s special training means that Xuanyuan Xingyao will suffer again, and it has been like this since he was a child.
"Would you like me to accompany you tonight?"
Feng Xuanzhou was worried that Nangong Jing was thinking about Xuanyuan Xingyao, so he deliberately joked.
"As long as you're not afraid that A Yao will cause you trouble when he comes back, just come up here at night. Or I can go to your room."
Nangong Jing looked at Feng Xuanzhou with a smile and said, "You're kidding. Who's afraid of who?"
Feng Xuanzhou thought of Xuanyuan Xingyao's gloomy face and shuddered subconsciously. Forget it.
"You should rest by yourself, I'm going back to my room first."
Feng Xuanzhou said, if he can't afford to offend, he can at least avoid him.
Although Nangong Jing still wanted to joke with Feng Xuanzhou, after Feng Xuanzhou left, Nangong Jing showed a slightly lost expression.
Maybe it was because this was the first time the two of them were separated since they were together.
The longing in Nangong Jing's heart was about to burst out. It was obvious that they had been separated many times in the past. Even after Xuanyuan Xingyao went to the battlefield, it was common for them not to see each other for a whole year.
I didn't miss her so much at that time. I can only say that the magic of love is too great, which made Nangong Jing almost become love-brained.
After lying down on the bed, Nangong Jing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He had no problem sleeping alone for more than ten years, but Xuanyuan Xingyao only took more than two months for Nangong Jing to no longer be able to bear sleeping alone.
Nangong Jing finally fell asleep hugging Xuanyuan Xingyao's pillow. Even so, he didn't sleep too deeply that night.
The next day, Feng Xuanzhou looked at the shadow under Nangong Jing's eyes and felt a little worried.
Xuanyuan Xingyao will be gone for at least ten days. If Nangong Jing continues to have trouble sleeping, even a soldier will not be able to bear it, let alone his fragile body.
But there are some things that, unless the person involved figures it out himself, no matter how much others say, it will be useless.
Fortunately, although Nangong Jing has a tendency to be in love, he is not really dependent on others.
It's just that at the beginning, the two of them were a little uncomfortable with the sudden separation.
By the third day, Nangong Jing had returned to normal.
Feng Xuanzhou, who had been silently paying attention to him, finally put his heart back to where it was.
