Under the dark sky, heavy rain poured.
Returning to the dormitory, Du Yu first wiped the Demon Soldier Black Wood clean, then took his toiletries and clean clothes to the public bathroom.
After taking a comfortable hot shower, he returned to the dormitory and finally saw his roommate, a boy completely drenched.
Du Yu did have some impression of this classmate. After all, in the high school crowd, it's rare to see boys with little braids.
Especially since the braid was so short, I really wonder how he managed to tie it, a hairclip might have been easier.
"Hello." Du Yu greeted.
The boy sprawled on the chair, holding a Wooden Sword by his side. Without his little braid, his wet hair fell slightly over his eyes.
This hairstyle, this manner, this indifferent feeling...
A thought suddenly crossed Du Yu's mind: Did I just run into a protagonist?
Following Du Yu's voice, the boy looked up, but showed no response.
Du Yu: "What's your name?"
"Lin Shihang."
Du Yu spoke kindly, "I'm Du Yu. You should wash up to avoid catching a cold."
Lin Shihang nonchalantly replied with "Mm," and said no more.
With no proper response to his kind words, Du Yu dropped the idea of engaging further.
It's just a mere three-day cohabitation; it doesn't seem necessary to get familiar with a roommate?
Even old couples can manage a lifetime together, what are three days with a roommate?
Du Yu made his bed, lay down comfortably, and concentrated on absorbing the Fire Attribute Demon Breath in the world.
Demon Tamers and Demon Beasts are divided into seven levels, each level also has four Small Tiers: Initial Stage, Minor Achievement, Great Success, Peak.
For both, each upgrade of a Small Tier means an improvement in physical quality, an increase in Elemental Resistance, and an expansion of the body's Demon Breath capacity.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. On a thunderstormy day, the Fire Attribute Demon Breath was pitifully scarce, Du Yu's absorption speed was extremely slow, almost unbearable to watch.
"Du Yu, Du Yu."
"Hm?"
Little Fen Yang: "I'll help you cultivate~ Follow me, let's go."
Clearly, Little Fen Yang really wanted to help Du Yu and also wanted to transform her living environment.
Du Yu felt his vision blur and once again fell into endless void.
He had been here before, and the Little Golden Crow from his memory truly appeared, vivid in color and no longer illusory.
Dark wings, dark golden runes.
The palm-sized Little Golden Crow was exquisite and delicate, like a dream.
She flew to Du Yu's face, nuzzled against his cheek affectionately, then zipped into his forehead.
Heat,
As scorching as during the awakening!
Du Yu only felt the Little Golden Crow wandering inside him, flying from his forehead to his chest, fluttering between his arms. Flying from chest to abdomen, scattering Flames within his legs.
Every time the Little Golden Crow made a circle inside, Du Yu felt his body getting hotter.
The pathway of Flames she left seemed to burn the edges, only making the fiery road wider and wider.
...
"Hmm~" After an unknown amount of time, Du Yu drowsily opened his eyes.
The sky was still dark, but the thunderstorm had turned into a drizzle, pattering on the window with a soothing sound.
This kind of weather was perfect for snuggling under the covers and sleeping.
Unfortunately, Du Yu didn't feel at ease because his phone told him it was already noon the next day.
His roommate Lin Shihang was long gone. Du Yu hurriedly got out of bed, only to feel a scorching sensation under his feet.
"This..." Du Yu instinctively sat back on the bed.
The burning sensation on his soles seemed to awaken his entire body's Demon Breath, with the Fire Demon Breath within him joyful and boiling, as if wanting to ignite his body.
"Little Fen Yang?" Du Yu restrained his mind, softly calling in his mind.
"Hehe~ We succeeded!" The soft, sticky voice full of joy came, "Grow up quickly, my eyes have more uses, quickly understand."
Du Yu kept nodding, knowing his sensations weren't an illusion.
During the learning of the Demon Disciple Contract, he had interacted with four acupoints and a long line.
Forehead's Forehead- Philtrum above the Lip- Danzhong on the Chest- Sea of Qi below the Navel.
At this moment, Du Yu clearly felt more Fire Demon Breath gathered at these four acupoints, connecting a line. This line formed by the Fire Demon Breath was also thicker.
"Demon Tamer·Minor Success?" Du Yu muttered to himself, tentatively clenching his fist.
Indeed, it was a feeling full of power.
Du Yu was overjoyed, standing up and bouncing lightly, savoring the unprecedented feeling of "evolution."
After enjoying for a while, he then realized something, hastily looking out the window.
The dark sky, drizzle falling incessantly.
The campus ground was empty, without a single person in sight.
"Oh no!" Du Yu quickly put on his shoes, grabbed the Demon Soldier Black Wood, and hurried out of the dormitory.
Along the way, every dormitory door was tightly closed, which made Du Yu even more anxious.
He headed straight to the canteen on the east side of the first floor, finally hearing Gong Cheng's deep bass voice outside the door.
In his heart, Du Yu lamented that the dignified class leader had overslept, not knowing how Gong Cheng, the old Devil, would punish him.
"Remember what was taught in today's class, and in the future, do not let down your Demon Pets," came Gong Cheng's summary from the canteen, "Class dismissed, eat lunch."
Hearing the rising footsteps inside the canteen, Du Yu bit his teeth, stomped one foot, and stepped inside.
