Demon Tamer—Lesser Mastery (1)

Rain poured down from the darkening sky.

Du Yu, who had returned to the dormitory, first wiped the Demon Weapon Black Wood clean before taking his toiletries and clean clothes to the public bathroom.

After a comfortable hot shower, he returned to the dormitory again and finally met his roommate, a soggy teenager.

Du Yu really had some impression of this classmate. After all, it was rare to see a boy with a pigtail among high school students.

Especially since the pigtail was extremely short. He wondered how he had tied it. He might as well have worn a hairpin.

"Hello," Du said in greeting.

The young man was slumped in a chair with a wooden sword in his hand. He no longer had his pigtail. His wet hair was scattered and slightly covered his eyes.

This hairstyle, this style, this feeling of being ignored…

A thought suddenly occurred to Du Yu. 'Did I bump into the main character?'

Following Du Yu's voice, the young man raised his eyes but said nothing.

Du Yu said, "What's your name?"

"Lin Shihang."

Du Yu advised, "My name is Du Yu. Go wash up before you catch a cold."

Lin gave a casual grunt and said nothing more.

Since his kind words did not receive the response they deserved, Du Yu did not ask for trouble anymore.

It didn't seem necessary to befriend his roommate after just three days of rooming together?

Even an old couple could make do for the rest of their lives. What was three days of roommating?

Du Yu made the bed and lay down comfortably, seizing the time to absorb the fire attribute demonic aura in the world.

Demon tamers and demon beasts were divided into seven levels. Within each level, there were also four sub-levels: basic mastery, lesser mastery, greater mastery, peak mastery.

For the two of them, every minor advancement meant an increase in their physical fitness, elemental resistance, and the amplification of their demon aura containers.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good. In the thunderstorm, there was pitifully little fire elemental demonic aura. Du Yu's absorption speed was extremely slow.

"Du Yu, Du Yu."

"Yes?"

Little Scorcher: "I'll take you to cultivate ~ Follow me, let's go."

It was obvious that Little Scorcher wanted to help Du Yu and modify his living environment.

Du Yu felt his vision blur as he fell into the endless void again.

He had been here before. The small Solar Crow in his memory had indeed appeared. It was bright and no longer illusory.

Dark wings, dark gold runes.

The palm-sized Solar Crow was exquisite and small, like a dream.

She flew to Du Yu's face and rubbed her face against his affectionately before slipping into his forehead.

Hot.

It was as hot as when he awakened!

Du Yu felt the little Solar Crow rustling in his body, flying from his forehead to his chest and dancing back and forth in his arms. It flew from his chest to his abdomen and sprinkled tumbling flames in his legs.

Every time the little Solar Crow flew around in his body, Du Yu felt his body become hotter.

The fiery path she had left behind seemed to burn the border, only widening the long path of that fire.

…

"Mmm…" After an unknown period of time, Du Yu opened his eyes in a daze.

The sky was still dim, but the thunderstorm had turned into a steady drizzle that splashed against the windows with a soothing sound.

This weather was so suitable for sleeping under the blanket.

Unfortunately, Du Yu did not feel at ease because his phone told him that it was already noon the next day.

Lin Shihang, who was sleeping with him, had already disappeared. Du Yu hurriedly got out of bed, but he felt something hot under his feet.

"This…" Du Yu subconsciously sat back on the bed.

The heat at his feet seemed to have activated the demonic aura in his entire body. The fire demonic aura in his body was happy and boiling, as if it wanted to ignite his body.

"Little Scorcher?" Du Yu called softly in his mind.

"Hehe~ We did it!" The soft voice was filled with joy. "Grow up quickly. My eyes have more uses. Comprehend quickly."

Du Yu nodded repeatedly, knowing that his feelings were not an illusion.

When he was learning the Demon Disciple Contract, he had come into contact with four acupoints and a long line.

Mid-brows, mid-lip, mid-chest, lower navel, sea of qi.

At this moment, Du Yu clearly felt that the fire demon aura gathered in these four acupoints had increased. The four points connected into a line, and the line formed by the fire demon aura had also become thicker.

"Demon Taming Disciple—Lesser Mastery?" Du Yu muttered to himself and clenched his fists experimentally.

Indeed, it was a feeling of power.

Du Yu was overjoyed. He stood up and jumped slightly, enjoying the unprecedented feeling of "evolution."

After a long moment of elation, he realized something and looked hurriedly out the window.

The sky was dim and drizzly.

The field was empty. Not a soul in sight.

"Shit!" Du Yu quickly put on his shoes, picked up the demon weapon black wood, and hurried out of the dormitory.

Along the way, every dormitory door was tightly shut. This made Du Yu panic even more.

He went straight to the cafeteria on the east side of the first floor. Finally, outside the cafeteria door, he heard Gong Cheng's bass.

Du Yu groaned in his heart. The dignified class monitor actually overslept. He wondered how the old devil Gong Cheng would punish him.

"Remember the content of today's class. In the future, don't let your demon pets down." Gong Cheng's summary came from the canteen. "Class dismissed. Let's eat."

Du Yu listened to the sound of footsteps gradually rising in the canteen. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet before walking in.
