Chapter 9: Under the Starry Sky

There is no need to elaborate so much; I understand your point. Liszt glanced at Kate and said directly: Since entering the academy, he has grown a bit taller, so it is either that he possesses some hidden bloodline or that there is some mutation in his bloodline

I really want to just lie down and sleep... but it seems like I am about to succeed...

Ten whirling wind whips suddenly appeared before him, producing a sound of breaking through the air that was entirely different from before

Although he is now very tired and his whole body is soaked with sweat, he can clearly feel his progress. Under the tempering of such basic practice, he can even sense that amidst the soreness in his body, there is a trace of extremely subtle warmth circulating, penetrating into every corner of his being

The Kingdom of Aiqi is located in the Dragon Breath Mountains at the southernmost end of Dolast. The Dragon Breath Mountains themselves are the highest region in the Dolast continent, and since most towns in the Kingdom of Aiqi are built on the mountains, the Kingdom of Aiqi has long held the title of the kingdom closest to the sky.

"What does being a newcomer matter?" Liszt glanced at him, "What does the strength of one's abilities have to do with being a newcomer?"

Bitter sweat flowed into her eyes and mouth, yet she lay on the ground, fiercely shaking her fist at the starry sky, softly telling herself: "I must win."

"What does this have to do with this time? They are all still freshmen." Kate was taken aback.

Kate was completely stunned

In the vast majority of the territories of the Kingdom of Aiqi, the stars in the night sky appear exceptionally large and bright, as if one could reach out and pluck them from the sky

Anyone could see that her physical strength had reached its limit, yet after a brief rest, she gritted her teeth and softly uttered four words: "One more time"

Hmph

The figure of Liszt suddenly vanished, but a languid voice came through: "According to convention, the more restless a student is, the more likely they are to get into trouble and face punishment, often making them more formidable than the average student."

You have also seen his recent practice; he indeed possesses the kind of courage to risk his life. Since you are leading the team for this year's college competition, I can only say to you: do not let me down. After shaking his head, Lister looked up at the surrounding giant forest again and continued, Your luck is quite good; there are still two individuals here who will master the Whirlwind Flame within a day or two. To have three such talents among a group of students is something that would make those from other colleges laugh out loud.

No way! I'm done!

"Are you praising me or criticizing me?" Liszt scratched his head and lazily sat down on the roof covered with yellow leaves, stretching his back. "But what about you? Why did you specifically come to see these newcomers, especially Ailin's practice?"

Although he had already clearly understood from Old Jinks' repeated narrations back in Corlin Town that a sorcerer's power derives from both physical strength and magical energy, the physical strength itself is composed of two parts: one part is the energy stored within every tiny molecule of the body, and the other part is the power of mental will.

Haha, I succeeded. Am I not impressive!

Lin Luolan? Bero? Kate widened his eyes, feeling that Lin Luolan's remarkable comprehension ability was not surprising. After all, even those with a minimal elven bloodline often possess abilities that far exceed those of ordinary people. Moreover, Lin Luolan clearly had a high-level elven bloodline. However, he had not expected anything from Bero. Unable to contain himself, he looked at Lister and said, "That easily excitable troublemaking freshman? He is actually a rare genius? More impressive than the red-haired kid from the Quinn family?"

The closer one is to the sky, the more brilliant the starlight becomes at night

Liszt shook his head with a smile: "However, even if www.hetushu.com.com is not some mysterious bloodline, it is at least an interesting one. Moreover, judging from his performance, he seems to understand the benefits of not revealing his bloodline power, which makes it unnecessary for me to explain anything further."

"That high elf bloodline, and that bespectacled kid." Liszt smiled slightly, "It seems you still need to put in some more effort."

Suddenly, he, who appeared unable to straighten his body and was gasping for breath, straightened up once more, his hands swiftly reaching out forward

I have one last question. As Liszt's figure was about to disappear from the rooftop, Kate suddenly remembered something and called out: "Since you know that Bero is extremely excitable and particularly prone to causing trouble, why did you still arrange for Ailin to be with him?"

... ...

Sweat dripped from her delicate, fair chin into the soil beneath her.

He is also very aware that through regular diet and training, the strength accumulated in every tiny molecule of his body will increase. However, he is even more certain that without the integration of the peculiar bloodline within himself, his progress would not be possible at such a rapid pace

His physical strength had also reached its limit, and his consciousness became somewhat hazy. He could even hear his own rapid heartbeat and the sound of his heavy breathing

Prior to this, he had completed all the basic exercises assigned by Houston. If it had been in the past, he would have likely been unable to finish even half and would have already collapsed on the ground from exhaustion

This "Starry Sky" is unique to the Aiqi Kingdom, which is why the Aiqi Kingdom has since been referred to as the "Kingdom Under the Starry Sky"

Come again

In the eyes of many in the Kingdom of Aiqi, the stars in the sky are brilliant and dazzling, seemingly within reach, yet in reality, they are unattainable, much like the dreams of every individual

With a low chant from him, his hands suddenly shot forward like lightning, leaving behind several afterimages

At this point, he had already confirmed that the bloodline that Old Jins had allowed him to merge with was definitely not some inferior quality

However, he did not stop; after shaking his hand, he continued to practice with great reluctance.

The most formidable person at the entire Saint Dawn Academy, who also practices the hardest... let's try the Whirlwind Flame again

There are no obvious bloodline characteristics visible on him. I have heard that he has a particularly large appetite, but he does not seem to possess purely giant blood. Kate looked into Lister's eyes: "Have you made any discoveries?"

As night falls, the brilliant starlight spreads across every corner of Saint Dawn Academy

A bat flew out from the giant tree forest surrounding the ivy-covered campus and into the shadow of a certain building.

With a woeful sound, two streams of air swept across in front of him, shattering several leaves that had just fallen.

Kate cleared her throat lightly and said, "There are two reasons. First, the principal asked me to lead the team for this year's college competition. The second reason is that Ailin is someone you pay special attention to, so I naturally need to focus on her as well"

This is entirely the feeling of increasing strength stored within every tiny molecule in the body, with physical endurance continuously enhancing

In the moment he made his move, Allen realized he had already made a mistake. Compared to during class, the accumulation of his magical power seemed excessively violent, to the extent that not only did he fail to form ten swirling wind whips, but two uncontrollable gusts of wind erupted from his hands, causing his bones to feel as if they were about to shatter, resulting in excruciating pain

Whirlwind Fury

Upon seeing the ten whirling wind whips, Ailin, who was already utterly exhausted, could no longer hold on. He let out a triumphant laugh, stretched out his arms, and fell back limply. Even after falling, his arms remained outstretched towards the starry sky, occasionally twitching, which appeared quite comical.

The vast majority of new students have yet to master the "Flame Fist," but he directly employed it in class and has now practiced it to a high level of proficiency. However, for some reason, whenever he thinks of that "divine-like girl," he naturally abandons the thought of going back to rest and instead begins practicing "Whirlwind Blaze".

Each towering tree naturally creates many independent spaces, avoiding disturbances from others. Many of the meadows between the woodlands have been trampled into hard, barren ground devoid of any grass.

As her figure came to a halt once more, she could no longer sustain herself and collapsed backward onto the ground, utterly exhausted

The wooded area surrounding the Ivy League dormitory is also the best training ground for newcomers

If one does not dare to let go and take action, nor to hold onto hope, then there will be no hope

The young teacher Kate, whom Ailin had encountered during the report, suddenly followed a bat, silently swooping down from the top of a tree and landing on the roof of the school building covered in fallen leaves

So it turns out that you are leading the team for this year's inter-collegiate competition. In that case, you also have a direct role in selecting new students at the reporting office. " Liszt stroked his chin, "It seems that you all can hardly sit still. However, it is indeed true; our performance has been too poor in recent years. Not only do others think that there are no remarkable figures in our Saint Dawn Academy, but even our own students are on the verge of forgetting what true glory and courage are. They are beginning to see no difference between an ordinary mage and one who truly dares to fight.

Ailin also stood in a clearing among the trees.

Your insight has always been quite remarkable. Kate sat down beside Lister and said earnestly, "Ordinary students simply cannot learn the Houston Whirlwind, let alone master it successfully in just one day. Moreover, the Houston Whirlwind has never been publicly taught, so Ailin could not have had any prior exposure to it."

At the moment his feet made contact with the roof, a gust of wind swept by, lifting countless withered yellow leaves. Amidst the swirling leaves, the figure of Liszt suddenly reappeared

You underestimate him too much. Liszt laughed and said: "After all, he is the only freshman who successfully infiltrated the giant beast enclosure. Although I don't know what exactly is on his mind, it is clear that he has ambitions that are not in line with the library's small scope.

Once, twice, three times, four times... I don't even know how many times I have practiced; Ailin's entire body was drenched in sweat, which had become sticky, and her ten fingers seemed as if they were about to crack.

... ...

Seeing the sudden appearance of Lister, Kate displayed no hint of surprise. With a smile, she softly said, "I thought it was you back in the woods; otherwise, I wouldn't have felt that spine-chilling sensation of being watched."

Its power is greater than that of the Flame Burst Fist, and its speed is also faster, but it is also more difficult

Sometimes, when a person is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of unknowns, they may become less eager to seek out information. Instead, they tend to focus more intently on the matters at hand

Whirlwind!

Teacher Houston can only describe the freshmen with the term "abnormal." Coupled with the fact that the vast majority of freshmen are unwilling to fall behind and do not want to be inferior to others, in the glades of the forest shrouded in starlight, the sounds of "Fire Burst Fist... Fire Burst Fist" can be faintly heard, echoing continuously.

She began to run again, leaping high into the air. As her body reached the highest point, just before descending, she suddenly twisted her body and exerted force once more, astonishingly executing several rapid evasive maneuvers in mid-air. Then, she landed steadily, crouched down, and took several steps forward like an arrow.

Liszt still wore a lazy and indifferent expression, but Kate was taken aback, exclaiming in disbelief: "Three?"

Liszt stood up and stretched, saying, "It's good to know that there are so many interesting little fellows. In this competition, please don't let me down too much"

He is the one who secretly infiltrated the beast enclosure? So his injury was due to..." Kate's eyes suddenly lit up

Liszt lazily waved his hand and turned to leave: "If there are truly new students who can participate in such a grand competition, that would indeed be interesting"

In a secluded corner of the Thinker Stone Forest, Chris rested her hands on her knees, breathing heavily.
