Half a year has passed since enrolling in school, it's time for the annual exam.
Lan Xuanyu exuded joy with his whole appearance, as Lan Xiao promised that if they passed the exam well, he and Nan Cheng should take them to the Heavenly Luo Planet to play on a large flying ship.Shenglin was not as excited as Lan Xuanyu, but he was still very happy.
What is strange is that over the past half a year, their spiritual power has not grown at all. Shenglin's spiritual power was still at the tenth level, and Lan Xuanyu's was at the eleventh. Even the most ordinary children with spiritual energy are able to advance two or three ranks during this time. And Lan Xuanyu and Lan Shengling, should have reached rank 15 or more.
Logically speaking, someone who has an innate complete spiritual body should be able to develop much faster than the average Spiritual Master.
When Lan Xiao, Lan Xuanyu and Lan Shengling arrived at the academy, they ran into Ye Feng, who was escorting his daughter to school.
"Good morning, Uncle—Lan Xuanyu politely greeted Ye Feng.
- Hello.Shanlin said
— Hello, and good morning to you - Ye Feng has always been steadfast, but when he looked at Lan Xuanyu, you could see the softness in the sharp wrinkles on his face.
Shenglin was also cute, but he didn't give others the same feeling as his brother.
— Dad! Ye Ling Tong called out, tugging at Ye Feng's shirt.
—Tong, go to the exam," Ye Feng told her, patting her weakly on the shoulder.
Ye Ling Tong felt annoyed. Her father treated Lan Xuanyu better than he treated her!
Ye Ling Tong snorted and left.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Shenglin and said decisively.
- We have to pass the exams well!
Shenglin looked at him and nodded with a smile on his face. They were walking behind Ye Ling Tong.
She looked at them and said.
- Hey! Do you know that Class one and two will take combat exams together?!
- So what? Shanlin said with bewilderment.
- Your class belongs to the Attack system, and ours belongs to the Control system, is that fair? Lan Xuanyu said, puzzled.
Shanlin looked at him.
"You're too kind. If the teachers have decided so, then there must be a reason for it. Maybe the teachers won't let us spar with other students, because we already have spiritual skills.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head
"Still, it's not fair.
- Hey! Am I an empty place for you.And in general, I have reached the eleventh level! The teachers said that the girls can choose a sparring partner, so watch out. After saying that, Ye Ling Tong quickened her steps.
Lan Xuanyu felt a slight chill, he looked at Shenglin and said.
- Brother Shenglin, why is she so attached to me?
Shenglin grinned and poked him lightly on the stomach and said.
- Maybe she likes you.
Lan Xuanyu looked at him questioningly, he was only seven years old, he did not understand what Lan Shengling said.
Shenglin clicked his tongue and said.
- Okay, forget it.
The morning exams went smoothly. Lan Xuanyu was a diligent student, not to mention Lan Shenglin, he constantly fell asleep in class, but the lessons he liked, he listened very diligently.
They had an hour to rest after lunch before the combat exam was due to begin.
The combat exam at the Elementary Academy of Spiritual Masters was very easy for first graders. The students just had to spar and exchange blows with each other, and the teachers evaluated them in battle. Those children who broke through the 10th rank will be separated from the rest of the students, and it will be the girls who will choose their opponents.
As the head of the first class, Ye Ling Tong was the first to step forward. She turned to second grade homeroom teacher Qiu Yu Xing and said.
"Teacher Qiu, I choose Lan Xuan Yu.
Qiu Yu Xing felt awkward remembering how Lan Xuanyu accidentally broke Ye Ling Tong's bones. Adding to that the fact that Ye Ling Tong was the one who instigated the fight, losing must have bothered the little lady. It was clear that she wanted revenge.
- Okay, but be careful. Qiu Yu Xing, Ye Ling Tong said with concern in her eyes. Then she turned to look at one of the most beautiful children among the first-year students of the second grade, and said. "Xuanyu, Ye Ling Tong chose you. Perform well and fight for the second class.
Lan Xuanyu sighed and smiled bitterly.Shanlin patted him on the shoulder and said
, "Beat her up."
Ye Ling Tong was very good, both in academic knowledge and in combat.
Lan Xuanyu was average at best. Although Shenglin asked Po to spar with him many times, but he refused.
But watching Shenglin's daily training sessions, he unwittingly joined him. Therefore, his physical condition was in good condition.But he only knew a few fighting techniques.
"Lan Xuanyu, do your best! Lan Xuanyu, do your best!" The second grade students shouted joyfully, supporting him.
All his classmates loved him. If it wasn't for his fighting skills, he would have been promoted to second grade prefect. Be that as it may, his current opponent was another Rank 10 disciple who had a stronger Spirit compared to the Blue-Silver River Grass.
Shenglin spent all the time with Lan Xuanyu, although he sometimes talked with classmates, but they just exchanged phrases.
- Beat her up! Lan Shengling's very loud shout rang out, which drowned out all the other voices.
Lan Xuanyu turned around and smiled awkwardly.
- This time, you will feel all my strength! Ye Ling Tong lifted her small chin, looking haughtily at Lan Xuanyu.
— Get started.- said the homeroom teacher of the first class.
Without any preliminaries, Ye Ling Tong released her Spirit. A layer of faint bright light emanated from her body, white scales protruded from the skin of her hands. The scales were in the form of rarely seen triangular figures with a sharp protrusion in the center of each scale. Her pupils became vertical, and her originally pitch-black eyes acquired a citrine color. The faint roar of the dragon resonated as she leaped forward, her entire figure imposing.
Ye Ling Tong's spirit was extremely outstanding, the best among her peers, and all the teachers were impressed. With her innate spirit power of the eighth rank, a rarely appearing mutation of a Martial Soul that was different from her parents, it only took her a week to advance to the tenth rank.
Her Heavenly Dragon Spirit was a mutation variant of the Iron Dragon Spirit that evolved into a Heavenly Dragon! From a lower dragon, he turned into a real dragon. Although it was the weakest type among true dragons, it was still a Dragon Spirit—one of the strongest Spirits in existence.
A yellow Spiritual Ring rose from under her feet, a color that represented 100-year-old Spiritual Rings. No wonder Ye Ling Tong is so confident. Not only did she manage to get a spiritual skill, plus it was 100 years old. Combining her strength with anger, she was unstoppable.
— Challenge your Fighting Spirit! Ye Ling Tong demanded of Lan Xuanyu
Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but worry as he looked at her threatening posture. Trembling, he raised his left hand, and a curl of Blue-silver Grass with silver veins appeared from his palm. Compared to the beginning of the semester, the Spirit he showed didn't seem to have undergone any changes.
As soon as she saw the White Spiritual Ring rising on the Blue-silver Grass, Ye Ling Tong rushed towards it.
Lan Xuanyu panicked when he saw Ye Ling Tong rush towards him. He unconsciously took a step back, and the White Spiritual Ring that was on his left hand lit up. Immediately, the Blue-silver Grass on his left arm emitted a silver halo, the dew drops on the leaves seemed to come to life, merging into a river under his control. The river formed a whirlpool with a diameter of about one meter, obscuring it from the front.
Despite its ordinary appearance, its Blue-Silver Grass was unique. After receiving his first Spiritual Ring, he was able to control the element of water. However, his control was still weak, and the largest volume of water he could handle was about 10 liters.
He was only able to control the water in a beautiful but deadly spiral stream because of his diligent practice.
A dazzling brilliance blossomed from the yellow 100-year-old Spiritual Ring of Ye Ling Tong. She then ran straight towards Lan Xuanyu's whirlpool, confident that her 100-year-old Spiritual Ring would be able to break through his weak defenses.
Everything happened in an instant. When the two sides collided, it seemed like time stood still. Lan Xuanyu and Ye Ling Tong showed panic and surprise on their faces.
The moment Ye Ling Tong came into contact with Lan Xuanyu's whirlpool, the white light around her body disappeared. Her body plunged into the whirlpool without a single defense. No matter how weak it was, it was still a Spiritual Skill that could cause significant damage. Ye Ling Tong's small body was caught in the whirlpool for a few moments before Lan Xuanyu's River grass, threw her soaking wet body.
Plop!
Ye Ling Tong fell onto the grass bed.
Shengling looked at Lan Xuanyu with his mouth agape.Whenever Lan Xuanyu released his martial soul, Shengling felt his blood moving faster in his body, the same feeling Shengling evoked in Lan Xuanyu. But the moment Lan Xuanyu and Ye Ling Tong collided, this feeling was much stronger.
The students and teachers were stunned and confused by what had just happened.
- It's impossible! Ye Ling Tong exclaimed, staggering to her feet, drenched but otherwise unharmed.
She had a perfect celestial body, how could it disappear so suddenly? It was supposed to be a light collision with a whirlpool. She had to break through his defenses, throw Lan Xuanyu into the air and throw him to the ground. How did everything turn against her?
- The victory belongs to Lan Xuanyu.-Qiu Yu Xing announced, still stunned. She pulled Lan Xuanyu back and escorted him to his classmates, who rejoiced at his victory.
- Lan Xuanyu! Ye Ling Tong shouted angrily behind him. Lan Xuanyu turned around and looked at her with an innocent expression. However, those innocent eyes only increased Ye Ling Tong's anger.
Shengling stared blankly at Lan Xuanyu for a few more seconds, then smiled and walked up to him and stroked his head.
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, "
Now it's your turn. Lan Xuanyu didn't know how he could win, but a victory is a victory.
There have been several fights among those who have reached the tenth rank. Qiu Yu Xing looked at Shenglin, this boy was very handsome, he was also Lan Xuanyu's brother. But they were very different, precisely in terms of character.
There were no girls left among the two classes, only a small number of boys remained.
- Lan Shengling from the second class, against Wang Zhuo from the first class.Qiu Yu Xing said.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Shenglin and said.
- Good luck.
Although Shenglin did not communicate so closely with his classmates, but he always helped them out when they needed help.
- Shanlin, you can do it! You can do it!
Shenglin looked at them and smiled.
Looking forward, he saw my opponent.
Wang Zhuo was a skinny boy with ash-blond hair and blue eyes.He looked at Shenglin and threw to him, standing in a fighting stance.
Shenglin nodded in response, and also got into a fighting stance. Shenglin ranked first in terms of combat power, but his academic knowledge left much to be desired.Although this time he gave 100%.
- Let's get started! The teacher shouted.
Wang Zhuo and Shengling simultaneously released their martial souls.
Wang Zhuo's body was surrounded by a layer of white radiance, after a moment, his body was covered with white fur, and his eyes turned red. His body became bigger, there was no trace of the skinny boy left.He looked very intimidating.
His fighting soul was a Snow Gorilla, its attacking power was very great, but its speed left much to be desired.
A white ten-year-old ring rose from under his feet.
A white tiara surrounded Shenglin's head, and a white spiritual ring rose from under his feet.
Wang Zhuo's spiritual ring shone, he rushed at Shenglin with a loud roar.
At that moment, Shenglin felt his head spin slightly, and everything around him began to double.He unconsciously closed his eyes, all his thoughts were in a mess.His brain was about to explode.
Wang Zhuo reached Shenglin, had already raised his hand to strike, at that moment Shenglin opened his eyes, all the pain instantly disappeared, and his thoughts returned to their previous course.
-≪Don't dodge, but...Shenglin thought
At that moment, his white halo shone with a dazzling light. Shenglin felt an unprecedented surge of strength, he also felt all his five senses strengthened.
Wang Zhuo's fist was already a few centimeters away from his face, but at the last moment Shengling was able to dodge, Wang Zhuo's fist only slightly grazed his head.
Shanlin was sweating all over.
-≪It was very close.≫
Shenglin raised his foot to strike and hit Wang Zhuo's temple, from this blow his face twisted in pain.He unconsciously started touching his temple with his hands.
Shenglin's eyes narrowed and he smiled maliciously.
-≪Now!≫
He took a deep breath and slapped Wang Zhuo's chin with all his might. Wang Zhuo felt as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer. He fell to the floor unconscious.
- Won, Lan Shenglin. Qiu Yu Xing said, not at all surprised by this.In fact, the attack type was more suitable for Shenglin, but because he did not want to part with Lan Xuanyu, he chose control. Even with such a trash fighting spirit, he was very strong.
Lan Shenglin's first spiritual skill was very strong, it doubled his physical performance, speed, strength, defense, but not only that, also his brain work accelerated twice, his five senses were sharpened.It was a truly terrifying spiritual skill that depended on Shenglin's original physical strength.
Shenglin approached his classmates, who began to congratulate him. Lan Xuanyu walked up to him and they high-fived each other.
--------
School ended right after the exams, Shengling and Xuanyu were in the cultivation room.
Lan Xuanyu was trying to improve his control over the water element, Nan Cheng told him if he increased his control over the water, he would be able to turn it into ice, and his strength would increase significantly.
Shenglin was sitting in the lotus position, although he was strong, but he was not satisfied with his speed of self-improvement, for half a year, he had not even advanced one rank, this greatly alarmed him.But, he still worked tirelessly.
- Ding! Ding! Ding!
The call of the communication device that they had at home rang. Shenglin did not react to this in any way, he was still immersed in meditation.
Lan Xuanyu quickly ran out of the cultivation room to answer the call.There was no one at home at the moment.
------
Shenglin felt with his whole body as he slowly absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, but every time it happened, it seemed to evaporate in his body.
At that moment, Shenglin opened his eyes, his whole body was covered in sweat, he saw a man who was surrounded by eight spiritual rings, four purple and four black.
Shenglin saw how the blue-silver river grass in Lan Xuanyu's left hand began to emit silver light, and was covered with silver patterns.
In the blink of an eye, an ice shield appeared in front of him, but it immediately began to collapse.
At that moment, Shenglin's first spiritual ring unconsciously shone, his veins bulged on his body. All his strength was transferred to his legs and he made a jump, covering Lan Xuanyu with his body.
- Brother? Lan Xuanyu said in surprise.
The ice Shield collapsed, throwing Lan Shenglin and Lan Xuanyu into the wall.
Lan Xuanyu was completely unharmed, but lost consciousness.What not to say about Lan Shenglin, shards of ice dug into his body, he lost consciousness due to pain shock.
Ye Ling Tong stared at Shenglin's motionless body in a daze.
The man surrounded by eight spiritual halos was Ye Feng. He came to their house because of the story of Ye Ling Tong, about her sparring with Lan Xuanyu.
Ye Feng rushed towards Lan Shenglin and Lan Xuanyu with panic in his eyes.His fighting spirit was unknowingly triggered, which hurt two children.
What was even more shocking was that Lan Shengling immediately reacted to the danger and protected Lan Xuanyu with his body.
- How do I explain this to their parents? - he didn't know what would become of the two children.
