Autumn turned to winter, and by the end of the year, Lu Jing had memorized everything that the school would teach in the next few years. Except for his poor calligraphy, all other subjects were excellent.
He studied at a slow pace so as not to cause too much of a stir. Although the teachers were very surprised and skeptical, after taking several tests, the facts forced them to conclude: Not only could Lu Jing graduate two years ahead of schedule,
, and in many aspects, they remember it more clearly and accurately than their teachers, which makes the teachers ashamed!
Next, Lu Jing mainly had two choices. The first choice was to be recommended by the school and enter the "Tai Xueyuan" in Qufu, the capital of the Lu State, to further his studies. The second choice was to directly follow a certain minister and contribute to the country.
"Tai Xueyuan" is the highest government-run institution of the Lu State and is famous in the Zhongzhou Continent. The main purpose of its teaching is to cultivate successors of Confucius and Mencius' thoughts. Most of the officials of the Lu State were born here, including the extremely cruel and despicable
"Liming Prime Minister" and his accomplices. Therefore, generally speaking, students are very willing to enter the "Tai Xueyuan" in the capital Qufu for further study.
However, Lu Jing did not like to recite books since he was a child, and he has always hated the teachings of Confucius and Mencius that have made him recite painfully for many years. In recent years, after the bloody rise of the Tsing Kingdom, the weakness and self-deception shown by the Lu Kingdom has made
He despised these theories from the bottom of his heart, so he was very reluctant to go to the "Taiwan University" for so-called further study.
Despite this, Lu Jing still wanted to go to Qufu, because although Lu was a weak country militarily, it had been an economic and cultural power for hundreds of years. Famous experts and scholars from various countries often stayed in Qufu to give lectures.
, various academic reports emerge one after another.
Qufu is more than 500 miles away from Fengya City, so it is difficult to go back and forth frequently. If Lu Jing goes to Qufu, it means separation from Yan'er and Ling Shuang. This not only means less fun between men and women, but more importantly
Yes: he has lost the dream that Yan'er provided him with that can predict the future, and it is difficult to obtain Ling Shuang's inner power of ice! But these can not make the young man erase the strong desire to get ahead in his heart, especially to realize the dream of wearing the Lu Kingdom
Official uniforms represent the desire to show talent in front of the king of Qi, a great eastern country.
Lu Jing comforted himself and said: "Anyway, it's only one day one way. If I really miss them, I can come back to visit them. Besides, don't I still have Sylvia, a super beauty by my side?"
He planned to give some gifts to Yan'er and Ling Shuang before leaving.
"Send some trained "Blue Information Birds" to the two of them for communication." He said to the blond girl who was chewing chicken legs: "Also, since your body has grown up, buy some beautiful clothes.
Wear it."
"Well, okay." Sylvia smiled and said, "I have to think carefully about what to wear, so don't be stingy with me~"
"How could that be possible?" Lu Jing said with a smile. At this point, he sighed and said, "I don't know when Yan'er will make me dream about gambling again. The expenses in the past few months are really too big. Ten thousand gold coins are enough."
As of now, there are only 2,800 gold coins left. If you can no longer make money by gambling, you will really have to save some money in the future."
After the blond girl finished eating a chicken leg, she licked her shiny and greasy lips, then picked up a piece of butter layer cake and bit off most of it in one bite.
Lu Jing looked at her greedy eating look and thought it was very cute. He kept looking around Sylvia's body, which was only clad in tulle, thinking: "If you eat so many things, where will you grow cute?" Where’s the meat?”
Lu Jing lay on the bed in the inn, which was almost the "private" room for him and Ling Shuang, and absorbed the ice energy inhaled from his legs into his dantian. The white "ice energy" mass in his dantian had already mixed with his own. The pale golden inner force is almost the same size.
"What's the name of your hockey puck?" Lu Jing asked.
"It's called ice hockey. We're too lazy to give it a nice name for such a low-level skill." Ling Shuang laughed. She sat next to Lu Jing, gently kneading his newly thawed leg and foot muscles with her hands, and said: "The ice ball has no penetrating ability and is not very powerful. I am practicing ice internal strength not just to obtain this low-level skill."
"How did the ice ball come out?" Lu Jing asked again.
"It's very simple to say, as long as you have enough internal force transferred to the palm of your hand, accumulate it to a certain extent, spread your palm and flick it, it will be released. It will be very unskilled at the beginning, it will not be able to form a ball, and it will not hit the target, but as long as You will get better after practicing thousands of times." Ling Shuang replied.
"Practice thousands of times?!" Lu Jing said disappointedly. He thought to himself: "Ling Shuang's internal energy can be replenished at any time, but it's troublesome to replenish my ice energy, and I can't use it as luxuriously as she does. So. It’s better not to waste your precious ice energy on this weak ice ball."
Lu Jing asked: "I heard you say last time: There is a kind of "Ice Soul Seizing Dart" that is so powerful that even the black giant tiger can't withstand a single blow, right?"
"Yes, but those are skills that can only be acquired after you have reached the fifth level of "Martial Master". I am only at the fifth level of "Martial Master" now, so I haven't practiced it yet." Ling Shuang replied.
The young man asked again: "Can you tell me how to practice?"
Ling Shuang felt a little strange in her heart: "What's the use of this training method if he knows it? His internal strength is of the metal system, so he can't practice this skill." But the girl still said enthusiastically: "Yes, but I haven’t practiced before, so I don’t remember it very clearly.”
Lu Jing said again: "Then how can I know the detailed training method? Well, although I can't practice it myself, I am very curious about all kinds of martial arts, hehe!" He wanted to know the ice energy. How to use it, and didn't want Ling Shuang to know that he had absorbed her inner power, so he tried to find some excuses.
"We have martial arts secrets." Ling Shuang said, "If you really want to know, I can show it to you." Ling Shuang knew: Although this "Ice Soul Seizing Dart" is powerful, there are actually many people who practice water-based internal power. Everyone knows how to practice it, so it's not really a big secret. Since Lu Jing wants to see it, I might as well give it to him as a favor.
"Thank you then." Lu Jing said. Ling Shuang said, "Don't say thank you. You have given us so many benefits. No matter how big the request is, we can't refuse it."
Lu Jing smiled, put his hand on Ling Shuang's tender white face, and pinched it gently.
After a while, the young man said: "I have finished studying in the "school" and plan to go to Qufu to see the world."
"Ah?! Will we have to go for a long time?" Ling Shuang stopped what he was doing and asked.
Lu Jing said: "It should be so. Maybe, I can become a big official." He said optimistic words, but at the same time he couldn't help but think of Yan'er's terrible dream, and his heart sank.
Ling Shuang opened her red lips slightly, unable to hide her disappointed look, and looked at Lu Jing blankly.
Lu Jing said: "I have been to Qufu, and it only takes one day one way from here."
"One day? I'm afraid you have to change horses several times and run continuously." Ling Shuang said: "Also, do you want to be an official? Be an official of the Lu State?"
"It should be, but you don't have to worry that I will go against your "Zhao Muhui" or help the country of tattoos. I am very principled, and I will never help tattoos at any time and anywhere!" Lu Jing was very worried.
Said seriously.
Ling Shuang nodded and said: "It's a pity that there will be less opportunities to meet in the future. You know that we have a good impression of you. Especially me~~~" She said the last four words very softly, but she still could
Let Lu Jing hear it clearly.
Lu Jing was a little moved. He stared at Ling Shuang, put his right hand on the back of the girl's neck, stroked it gently, and then said: "I know your thoughts, and I will come to visit you as soon as I have a chance. Also,
I want to buy a few "Blue Information Birds" for you to use for communication between us. Also, since you don't want clothes or jewelry, can you go to the horse market in Fengya City with me tomorrow and pick one you like?
I bought a horse for you."
"Okay, I'll be at your house tomorrow morning at a quarter past two (eight o'clock in the morning) and bring you the "Ice Secret Book" by the way." Ling Shuang said with a smile.
