The fire was soaring into the sky and thick smoke was billowing, illuminating the surrounding area like daylight. There were shouts and students holding various water-holding utensils everywhere.
"You sissy, can you do something serious?"
From a distance, Xu Lei heard Yang Weiwei's roar, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that Li Yan was standing in front of Yang Weiwei with his head pulled back, being scolded so hard that he couldn't raise his head.
"I didn't mean it..." Li Yan looked aggrieved like a child who had done something wrong.
After questioning, Xu Lei found out that when Li Yan was showing off his fire attribute to a group of students from other classes, in order to show the power of his attribute, he accidentally set the dormitory building on fire.
When Xu Lei found out, he really wanted to kick this kid's butt to pieces, but the fire was fierce at this time. Xu Lei was thinking about the Mad Dragon Art that he put under his pillow, so he resisted the urge to kick Li Yan's butt to pieces.
"Fourth sister, cover me!" Xu Lei shouted to Mu Hanqing and then jumped into the sea of fire. Mu Hanqing couldn't stop him, so he could only draw an ice arrow and shoot an ice arrow at Xu Lei's back.
An ice shield enveloped Xu Lei.
But this place is different from the Xuanhuo Cave. The ice shield cast by Mu Hanqing can only temporarily isolate the temperature, but cannot isolate the thick smoke. As soon as Xu Lei rushed into the sea of fire, he was choked and couldn't breathe, and had to rush again
Withdrew.
Seeing the fire in the dormitory, Xu Lei could only stare, secretly regretting that none of them were water-attributed. If there was a water-attributed warrior present, the fire would be worth mentioning.
Nalan Buqi and the instructor were orderly directing the students to put out the fire. Xu Lei and others had no choice but to pick up buckets and join in the fire-fighting. However, these buckets of water were lit by a fire attribute warrior.
When it comes to fire, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, a few thunders suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by heavy rain.
After the fire was extinguished, Xu Lei was the first to rush into the ruins that had been burnt to black. After rummaging inside for a while, he finally pulled out the already-shabby Mad Dragon Jue.
After slapping the stains on the book twice, Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at himself for being too worried. How could a book recording such secrets as Mad Dragon Technique be made of ordinary oil paper?
Except for being soaked by water, the entire Mad Dragon Jue was intact.
"Brothers and sisters, please forgive me, I was wrong!"
Li Yan was surrounded by Su Mu and others and was punched and kicked. He grinned in pain and begged for mercy.
"Fortunately, we didn't lose any valuables!" After everyone was tired from beating him, they let Li Yan go. Su Mu turned to look at Xu Lei and said to Li Yan, who had a bruised nose and face, "But you broke Xiao Lei's things.
, go and ask him if he will let you go?"
Li Yan quickly ran to Xu Lei in disgrace, "Third brother, I have always regarded you as my idol. I think you are the most handsome among us. You don't know how much I admire you and your selflessness."
, Kindness, composure, calmness, humor, wisdom and other rare advantages have always made me covet. You have always been an immortal image in my heart..."
Li Yan praised Xu Lei eloquently. Although his words of praise sent chills down the spines of Su Mu and others who were listening to him, he still had no tendency to stop. I really don't know where this kid came from so many words.
.
However, Xu Lei didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He just stared at the Mad Dragon Jue opened in his hand, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, as if he didn't hear Li Yan speak at all.
"Third brother..." Li Yan also noticed something was wrong with Xu Lei and tried to shout.
Xu Lei still didn't respond.
"Third brother! I was really careless! Can you please stop arguing with me? If you argue with me, Su Mu and the others will have to beat me up again..." Li Yan suddenly shouted, just now
Su Mu and others beat him with great force. Who asked him to set fire to the dormitory building? How could he sleep at night? Seeing that Xu Lei didn't respond, Li Yan thought that Xu Lei was overly sad and angry.
Xu Lei didn't react at all, he just stared blankly at the soaked Mad Dragon Art in his hand, and then suddenly turned it over quickly, with an extremely excited expression.
"Third brother..." Li Yan was startled by Xu Lei's sudden and strange reaction, thinking that Xu Lei was insane because of excessive sadness.
"Third brother... don't get excited... we have something to discuss..." Having seen Xu Lei Yao's behavior after he went crazy in the Xuanhuo Cave, Li Yan's heart was in his throat at this time, and he stared at Xu Lei.
Lei's face, at least the slightest hint of demonic madness, would make him run away as fast as possible.
"Li Yan, I'm so grateful to you! Hahaha..." Xu Lei suddenly pulled Li Yan into his arms and burst into laughter.
"Third brother, don't be impulsive. If you have something to say..." Li Yan thought that this was Xu Lei's reaction before he went crazy. He broke away from Xu Lei's arms with all his strength. Looking at Xu Lei who was laughing, he felt a rush on his spine.
A burst of chills.
Su Mu and others also walked up and looked at the weird Xu Lei, all looking at each other in confusion, but Xu Lei's look did not seem like a sign of becoming a demon.
"Look, what is this!" Xu Lei laughed for a while and handed the mad dragon to everyone. Everyone looked at the soaked book. After observing it carefully for a while, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, and then
Face of joy.
The drenched book "Crazy Dragon Jue", with the cover of the soaked rainwater now faintly showing the pattern of a knife, with three words written below the pattern - "Demon Knife Jue"!
It turns out that there is another mystery to this Mad Dragon Art. What is recorded on the surface is just the supreme skill of hand-to-hand combat, but the real mystery is the Demon Sword Art hidden in it. The Mad Dragon Art is just the basis for practicing the Demon Sword Art!
At this time, the instructor also came over, looked at the happy crowd, took the Mad Dragon Jue from Xu Lei's hand, and after flipping through it a few times, he also looked happy and said happily: "That's it, that's right!"
"Instructor, is this a fighting spirit skill or a martial art?" Su Mu couldn't wait to ask, because martial arts and fighting spirit skills are equally important, but at least now they have one.
"It's a combination of fighting spirit skills and martial arts!" The instructor couldn't hide his excitement at this moment in his words, "I didn't expect that this demon sword technique is so exquisite, it actually integrates the martial arts and fighting spirit skills into one natural body!"
"So stupid!" Li Yan looked incredulous. Although his whole head had been beaten out of shape by Su Mu and others, he had ignored the pain at this time. "Then it will take less time for Third Brother to practice than us."
A lot of time?”
The instructor smiled and said: "That's not true. Although Demon Sword Jue incorporates both fighting spirit skills and martial arts, it does not mean that the practice time can be shortened. On the contrary, it will take more time than you spend."
With that said, he handed the Mad Dragon Jue back to Xu Lei, looked at Xu Lei and said, "Congratulations, but you have to remember what I said before, the foundation of cultivation always lies in people rather than things."
Xu Lei had calmed down his emotions, took the Mad Dragon Jue, nodded and said firmly, "Don't worry, instructor, I know what to do!"
No matter in any situation or encountering anything, Xu Lei can calm himself down in the shortest possible time. This is also one of the most important characteristics of his character. A calm mind is always the most powerful force at any time.
Li Yan's burning of the dormitory building was a blessing in disguise. On the one hand, he unintentionally revealed the secret of the Mad Dragon Art, allowing Xu Lei to solve one of the most important problems. On the other hand, the dormitory building had to be rebuilt after it was burned down. Nalan
Bu Hai immediately said that he would take advantage of this opportunity to renovate the dormitory building and renovate the entire dilapidated east campus. No matter what, it could not be worse than the west campus.
For a time, the entire east campus was under construction, and all students temporarily acted as construction workers. A top architect from the Hualong Empire was also hired as the general commander.
The seven members of the Bukui class who originally thought that they could take a good vacation due to their "distinguished" status as members of the Bukui class were not spared by the shrewd principal Nalan Bukui. It is okay to not understand construction technology, and all men
It doesn't require any technical skills to move rocks and sandbags. Even three girls, Yang Weiwei, Mu Hanqing, and Ning Feier, were sent to handle the accounts. What made a few people shout in protest was that the other students who participated in the work were more or less
Everyone can get some wages, but not only do they have no wages, they even have to pay for three meals a day out of their own pockets. This Nalan is really shrewd to the core.
However, a protest is a protest, and it will naturally be ineffective in front of Nalan Bugui. You have to do what you need to do honestly.
Among the seven members of the Bu Kui class, Nalan Bu Kui knew nothing about the life experiences of the others except for a little knowledge of Ding Xiaodou and Xu Lei. Ding Xiaodou was recruited by him by accident and Xu Lei also told him
Some of their own stories, but the other people didn't mention a word about it, seeming to deliberately avoid the topic. Nalan didn't feel bad about these people and didn't ask any more questions, although it was not difficult to see from his perspective that there was something not simple behind these people.
, but when I come here, I am still just an ordinary student on the East Campus.
But if Nalan Buhao knew that these people included a prince, a princess, and a big shot whose reputation spread throughout the continent, even the kings of the three empires had to be polite when talking to him.
The son of a local rich man would definitely be shocked. If these parents knew that they wanted their children to work as construction workers, they would smash the East Campus to pieces!
"Grandma, I quit!" Li Yan threw away the shovel in his hand angrily. He was covered in ashes. He had never even washed the dishes at home since he was a child. How could he bear such treatment.
"It's okay if you don't do it." Nalan suddenly appeared behind Li Yan like a ghost, squinting his shrewd little eyes and said: "This construction of the school will also be included in the assessment, as one of the evaluation criteria for your final graduation.
One, you can figure it out yourself."
Looking at Nalan Buqi's sneaky little eyes, Li Yan couldn't help but get excited. Every time he was looked at by Nalan Buqi with such eyes, he would suffer a big loss.
But this time, it really made Li Yan anxious. He had been pampered since he was a child and never knew what a kitchen looked like. He could endure no matter how hard it was to practice, but there were two things to say about this job.
"It's just a matter of building a school. It's all up to me!" Li Yan decided to take the risk this time and said with a loud bang on his chest.
"If you don't brag, you will die." Su Mu on the side was holding a shovel, clumsily stirring the sand, cleaning every clean place on his body, without raising his head.
"I'm not bragging!" Li Yan said loudly: "Stop, stop, stop, all of you, stop it. It's up to me, Li Yan, to build the school!" Li Yan said very seriously.
"Are you serious?" Su Mu didn't look like Li Yan was joking. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Yan doubtfully.
"If you can build the school well, you will get full marks in this subject!" Nalan said generously.
Li Yan smiled confidently, patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll go home and you will know tomorrow morning." After saying that, he showed a meaningful smile and left without looking back.
"What is this kid going home for?" Ding Xiaodou asked in confusion.
"Maybe he went to find his mother." Su Mu said.
Xu Lei also smiled and said, "Don't worry about whether he is looking for his mother or his father. Let's finish today's work first. You can't believe everything this kid says." As he said, he continued to stir the sand with his shovel. He was used to eating it since he was a child.
For Xu Lei, who has suffered a lot, this kind of work is really nothing. He did a lot of hard work when he was wandering on the streets. It was much easier than that time.
