Chapter 21, Brother Fan, you're really strong too!
"What a hassle..." Xiao Yu muttered to himself as he walked down the road.
Being targeted by a ruthless terrorist organization like the Black Vatican is definitely not a good thing.
They are like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
Teacher Tang Yue is right, we must be extra careful, especially with the people around us.
Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, He Yu, and even Teacher Xue Musheng... anyone who has any interaction with him may be in danger because of him.
Back in the boys' dormitory, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were sitting cross-legged on their respective beds, cultivating.
The air was filled with faint fluctuations in elemental activity.
Sensing Xiao Yu's return, Zhang Xiaohou immediately opened his eyes and asked with concern, "Brother Yu, what did Teacher Tang Yue want to see you about? Was it to ask about Xiao Bai?"
They all knew about Xiaobai's injury.
"Yeah, I just asked how Xiaobai is recovering," Xiao Yu replied vaguely.
Xiao Yu walked to his bedside and sat down, releasing Xiao Bai from its dimension.
Beneath its snow-white fur, the three claw marks left by the three-eyed demon wolf, though scabbed over after being treated by a healing mage, still looked heartbreaking.
Xiao Yu stretched out his finger and gently stroked the soft top of Xiao Bai's head.
Xiao Bai let out a soft purring sound and rubbed its head against his fingers, conveying a sense of dependence and slight weariness.
"It's good that Xiaobai is alright! The last day of the training was terrifying; I almost thought I was going to die." Zhang Xiaohou patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Brother Yu, we really have to thank your dark-colored summoned beast. It was incredibly powerful! A warrior-level demon, it devoured it without warning!"
Upon hearing the name Lao Hei, Xiao Yu's mind stirred.
They got in touch with Lao Hei through a contract.
"Roar..." Old Black's thoughts came through, carrying a sense of satisfaction and... a strange restlessness.
Unlike the excitement he felt after devouring other creatures, Old Black remained unusually calm this time after consuming a three-eyed demon wolf of warrior-level strength.
This seems to have caused some changes in Lao Hei's physique.
Its body seemed more refined, with a dark red luster flowing beneath its black jade-like mane, and the aura emanating from its gaping maw beneath its neck had become even more profound and terrifying.
Most importantly, a vast and pure energy is slowly condensing and compressing at its core!
"Roar~"
Old Black's large mouth opened, and a slightly dim ball of light flew out.
"A remnant soul? A remnant soul of a War General level?!" Xiao Yu was shocked!
Although it is a fragment of a soul, it can be kept and refined into a true essence in the future!
"Tsk tsk, it's infuriating how humans are compared to beasts!" Mo Fan finished his cultivation, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. "Two such monstrous summoned beasts at the beginner level, how are we supposed to live? I wish I could awaken a summoning ability at the intermediate level..."
Although Da Mofan was born with dual elements, compared to Xiao Yu, this freak, he was simply a clown.
Originally, he planned to shine with his level two fire-based skills during the training, but Xiao Yu's unexpected second summoned beast stole the show.
"Brother Fan, you're really strong too!" Zhang Xiaohou immediately chimed in.
"Hehe." Mo Fan chuckled awkwardly.
Compared to Xiao Yu's summoned beasts, his innate dual-elemental abilities were utterly inferior!
I got an S- because I only had an S-, while Xiao Yu got an S+ because he had the highest score and therefore got an S+, right?
Xiao Yu smiled, stopped chatting, put his things down, and headed towards the rooftop.
On the rooftop, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged, holding the magic pendant given to him by Jiang Shaoxu in his palm.
A cool and soothing energy flowed into his body through his arm, instantly invigorating him and making his mind exceptionally clear and active.
The chaotic stardust slowly rotated in the spiritual world, and the seven stars, like mischievous children, frolicked happily in the stardust.
"Come on, Order Change - Reversal!" Xiao Yu concentrated his mind, his thoughts like invisible threads, precisely connecting the chaotic star particles together.
With the powerful assistance of the magical artifact, the connection speed of the star trails is nearly twice as fast as usual!
The first star, the second star... guided by his thoughts, rapidly converged and connected along a mysterious trajectory.
Star trails that used to take about a second or even longer to complete were now nearly formed in just 0.5 seconds!
"Buzz!"
A chaotic star trail, more solid than before and carrying strange, distorted fluctuations, was instantly drawn at his fingertips!
An invisible force spread out, as if the rules of the surrounding space were subtly shifted under his will.
Become!
Chaos-type Tier 3 Magic - Order Reversal!
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
The effect of this magical artifact is amazing!
"Change of Order - Reversal, Gravity Inverted!" Chaotic energy appeared in Xiao Yu's hand, and his gaze locked onto a white dove on a railing not far away.
The white dove was dozing off when it suddenly felt like it was falling.
So, driven by instinct, it flapped its wings frantically.
Finally, with a "bang," he slammed his head against the rooftop floor and immediately lost consciousness.
"Not bad." Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction.
This reversal of gravity can be used to launch a surprise attack on the enemy!
However, Xiao Yu's current mental state is a bit low, so the range within which he can reverse gravity is very limited.
It was late at night.
But Xiao Yu, still wide awake on the rooftop, was waiting for his magical energy to recover.
Once we've rested and recuperated, we can start working on upgrading the seven Chaos Stars to level four!
The night in Bocheng is not completely quiet; the occasional bark of a dog and the sound of a car passing by can be heard in the distance.
Xiao Yu's gaze unconsciously swept across the grove of trees opposite the dormitory building and the dimly lit street in the distance.
Just as his gaze swept across a window on the top floor of an old residential building diagonally opposite the dormitory, Xiao Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
It wasn't a clear visual capture; it was more like... an intuition of being locked onto by a cold, venomous snake!
A vague perception of the energy in the surrounding space, given by Xiaobai and Laohei!
Behind a window, there seemed to be a shadow darker than the night, motionless.
Just as Xiao Yu was staring intently, the shadow trembled very slightly, as if something had instantly shrunk back and completely merged into the darkness.
It was so fast that it was almost an illusion.
The summoning stardust trembled slightly, and Old Black's reminder confirmed that it was not an illusion.
Someone is watching!
It's in a window of that building across the street!
The Black Vatican's people arrived so quickly?
Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
He instantly sensed unusual spatial fluctuations behind him.
"Not good!" Xiao Yu immediately connected with the summoning system's Stars.
Before the second star could connect, the spiritual world was disrupted by a mental force.
Damn it, the opponent is a mind-controller!
Immediately afterwards, a man in a blue robe appeared before Xiao Yu.
The moment he appeared, the blue-robed man's eyes gleamed with a silver light.
Xiao Yu felt a strong, invisible force clamping down on his neck, making it extremely difficult to breathe.
Then came two "slap slap" sounds.
Why did you slap me?!
Xiao Yu's face swelled up; he was stunned by the beating.
Does this person have any unusual fetishes?
With a "rip" sound!
A crack was instantly torn open in the space beside them, and a summoned beast with a bluish-black ram's horn body poked its front half out.
The large mouth beneath its neck opened, and a powerful suction force was about to engulf the blue-robed man.
"It even has the power to break through dimensions? Interesting." The man in blue robes spoke, then clenched his fist.
The fist was enveloped in silver energy, and with one punch, Old Black was sent back to his own dimension.
Immediately afterwards, he violently swung his hand downwards.
The dimensional rift opened by Lao Hei suddenly closed, and the spatial ripples caused by the violent tearing were visible to the naked eye.
"If this is all you've got, then accept your death..." The blue-robed man sneered, increasing the pressure of his spatial power on Xiao Yu's neck.
