Chapter 36 The New Year

After lunch, the students were full of energy waiting in the training ground.

The next moment will be an exciting moment - the Knight Badge of the Knights of the Light does not represent any family, but will distinguish the level of the knights and represent the glory of the Knights of the Light. Looking at the Star Source Empire, this is also the dream of many children since childhood, to become a great knight, fight against monsters, and be a brave man who protects his homeland.

Half a year ago, Lolan thought so.

Until that night, the mother's blood dyed the dream red, making Luo Lan's dream shattered in an instant. He saw the most hideous side of the Knights and the complete sin of the world.

...

"Loran?"

Instructor Haimu walked forward with a silver knight badge in his hand. One sentence awakened the contemplative Luo Lan, frowned, and said, "Don't be distracted, this is your badge. May you fight for the Knights of Light and the Temple of the Goddess for your life, may you be loyal to mankind for the rest of your life and protect the sky gate that belongs to our world of enlightenment!"

"I……"

Lolan dullly reached out to catch the heavy badge, and his heart was mixed. The Knights of Light had great hatred for him to kill blood relatives and deep hatred for slaughtering the entire village. But after entering the blood cage, instructors such as Haimu and Mikaela treated him sincerely, hoping that he would grow into a powerful knight. So between the two, Lolan couldn't help but hesitate.

Perhaps, the real enemy is just Grey, Tuca and other hunting knights?

Otherwise, the blood-colored castle that indulged them, the Knights of Light would not be able to escape. At least in the depths of Luolan's heart, he always thought so. All sins have their origins. This deep hatred is buried in the deepest part of Luolan's heart, gradually taking root and sprouting, prompting him to be strong and making him challenge his limits more resolutely.

Without this courage to rush to the death, Lolan would not have been able to far surpass a genius like Rodney in physical cultivation.

On the side, Caroline and Avier both received a silver Grand Knight badge, but the color of the badge was stronger, which was different from the first-level Grand Knight badge of Loren. Rodney received a light red Earth Knight badge, which was slightly lighter than the badge worn by the instructor of Haimu's chest, but it still made all the students look envious.

Many students wore the badges on their chests on the spot, and their faces were filled with joy. Class 7 produced a land knight and five great knights on this day. In addition, they were basically knights and a few apprentice knights. With this identity alone, they were basically considered well-known figures in some small towns of the empire. Of course, every student in the Blood Cage understood that since they entered the Blood Cage, their future path would be more than just apprentice knights. The knights were as simple as that. Their goal should be the Supreme Knight of Light.

Loran silently put the badge into his clothes pocket, and Avel also silently put the badge into his pocket.

The two of them are the same. Avier was forcibly brought to the blood cage because of his father's will, while Lolan was sent to the blood cage as a trial slave. He struggled and rolled on the edge of life and death to become a true blood cage student. They did not have much affection for the Knights of Light, but more hatred hidden deep in their hearts.

"alright."

Instructor Haimu said in a deep voice: "This is just your first step. The ladder of the Knights of Light is right ahead, waiting for you to climb a higher peak, so don't be complacent or discouraged. Keep working hard so that you can become better people."

"Yes, instructor!"

"In the morning, Mikaela will take you to practice the power of elemental law. Rodney, come with me. From today on, I will teach you the secret skills of the Light Knight's Light Stone Skin!"

"Yes, Instructor Haimu!"

Rodney looked ecstatic. The Stone Skin of Light is the unique skill of the Knights of Light. Only by becoming a member of the Knights of Light can one be qualified to learn. Therefore, although Rodney is the best among the younger generation in the family, no one in the family dares to teach him the Stone Skin of Light. After all, if it violates the rules of the Vatican of Light, it will be severely punished. No one in the entire Xingyuan Empire will not be afraid of the punishment of the Vatican of Light.

When Rodney turned around, a group of students cast envious eyes. Before he knew it, Rodney had already shook everyone away from his cultivation level.

The same goes for Lorraine.

...

In the afternoon, around three o'clock.

Rodney came back, with an excited look on his face and sweating profusely. It was obvious that the practice of Guangming Stone Skin made him very immersed in it.

Instructor Haimu took the heavy sword and walked over again, his eyes swept across the group of students one by one, and finally stopped on Luo Lan and said, "Loran, come with me."

"Yes, instructor!"

Loran walked over with his sword, while Instructor Haimu turned his face and took him into the compartment outside a castle, with sunlight shining brightly from the window.

"Loran."

Haimu pondered and said, "Your power and elemental understanding are already quite good. Therefore, following the orders of Lord Catherine, I will teach you and me my unique sword move - Tornado Slash from today!"

"Tornado Slash?"

"That's right, Tornado Slash." Hai Muman looked at him meaningfully and said, "The sword move that came out of the original source with Storm Slash. However, the mystery of Storm Slash is the instant burst of the power of the wind element. It pursues the ultimate power and overwhelming the opponent with absolute elemental power, but Tornado Slash is different. It is a sword move that combines elemental power, speed, and attack. Once activated, it can often achieve the effect of weak defeating the strong."

He paused and smiled slightly: "Your star vein has not awakened, so if you compete for elemental power, you may never be able to compete with a talented student like Rodney. But if you learn to whirlwind slash, you may be able to fight slow with fast and weak with strong, exert elemental power and speed to the extreme, and produce unexpected attack effects."

"Really?"

Luo Lan opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were filled with a faint expectation.

"You have a look first."

Haimu took a few steps back, and with a soft whisper, a wave of wind blades swept across his body. The wind blade continued to sweep around the heavy sword, making the broad sword weighing at least 100 kilograms feel light and fluttering. The sword blade swept through the surrounding space with the strong wind, and burst out with a "chichi" sound of slashing through the air. Suddenly, Haimu's whole body swirled, and the heavy sword continued to slash out the attack with the trajectory of Qingling, and launched a series of attacks at a certain angle in the air. The sound of breaking the wind was continuously heard, and the power of a slash was stronger than a slash. In the end, the space was even twisted by the sword.

"ah……"

Luo Lan felt the power contained in these seemingly understatement swords, and even sweat had already oozed from her forehead. With a "hiss", the wave of air slashed by the whirlwind slash flew over his head, and flew up with several of his broken hairs. It was obvious that the star source power used by Haimu and the wind element were very weak, but the power was so amazingly strong.

But Luo Lan couldn't see through the mystery.

"You can try it."

Haimu smiled slightly and said, "Put the power of the wind element into the sword blade, and then continuously increase your slashing speed. When the speed reaches the extreme, you will naturally see the mystery."

"Speed?" Lolan asked in surprise.

"Yes, speed."

Haimu smiled and said, "The fastest speed is enough to destroy everything. Luolan, your strength is enough, but the speed is too slow, so you cannot understand the natural rhythm of the wind in the moment when the sword blade is cut out. If you cannot find the flaws in space, you will naturally be unable to cut everything."

"The flaw of space power..."

Luo Lan suddenly trembled all over and said, "Instructor Haimu, are you talking about... the real mystery of the whirlwind slash is actually the softness of the wind system law and the space law, right?"

“Hahahahahahahaha~~~~”

Haimu couldn't help laughing, walked up and reached out to rub Luo Lan's short hair, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are much smarter than I expected. I thought you would have to understand the hidden mystery of the whirlwind slash in three days. I didn't expect that you would actually realize the essence of it immediately. Then, you should practice chopping the sword well until you feel the maintenance between the wind and the space."

"Yes, instructor!"

Luo Lan was quite excited. This time, what he wanted to learn was not the common combat skills in the Blood Castle, but the unique sword moves of Instructor Haimu. This will also be the place where he will distinguish himself from other students in the future.

...

So, the boy waved his sword blade "swishly" and stayed in the compartment and kept practicing his sword-slashing speed until his arms were sore and numb. Then he stopped for a while, drank some water, and then continued to practice. He practiced until the evening, but still did not realize the existence of the laws of space, so he continued to practice with the stars.

"Loran~~~"

Under the street light, a girl in a long skirt came over. It was Avier and smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

"Well……"

Luo Lan pursed her lips: "I'm practicing sword."

"Don't practice, it doesn't matter if you don't have a day." Avier put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Lolan, close your eyes and I'll taste the same good thing for you."

"Oh, what?"

"You close your eyes."

"Oh well……"

Lolan closed his eyes, but felt a little nervous, until he smelled a faint fragrance from his nose. Avel smiled and said, "Open your mouth and taste it."

“…”

When Lolan opened his mouth, Avel immediately brought a piece of sweet pastry into his mouth. It was the smell of fragrant cakes. The tradition on Xingyuan Continent. This kind of thing can only be eaten once a year. That is during the New Year. In an instant, Lolan opened his eyes and his heart was about to melt, and his mouth was full of the smell of fragrant cakes. Every year, his mother would always make such sweet pastry for herself. But this year, everything has been broken. Lolan would never have thought of using this method to taste the flavor of fragrant cakes again.

"There is one hour left to be the New Year."

Avel pouted and said, "Every year, I spend the New Year in Ailan City, but this year is in this cold place. Fortunately, you are there. By the way, the students in the class are gathering in the hall. Do you want to go with me and get together with everyone?"

"I...I won't go..."

In Lolan's mind, his mother's smile could not be gone. At this moment, there was a feeling of arrows piercing his heart. Looking at Aville's pretty face, he couldn't help but feel a sore nose and tears rolled down.

"Loran, you..."

Avel panicked, hurriedly opened his hand and hugged him, gently stroked his hair, and said, "It's okay, it's all over. We must be strong, it's all over..."

Lolan hasn't cried for a long time. After his mother died, he didn't even dare to cry, nor was he qualified to cry. But at this moment, he found a long-lost warmth in Avier's arms. Although the time was short, it was enough to comfort me. He wiped his tears and said, "Thank you, Avier, I... really thank you..."

"It's okay."

Avel smiled slightly and leaned into Lolan's ear and whispered: "We are coming to the Blood Castle together, so... we will become stronger together and leave this ghost place together. In the future, we will wander around the world and be two rangers, two thieves, or two hunters, it will all be our wishes. Are you right?"

"Yeah, right!"

Lolan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go out alive together!"

"Well, go out alive!"
