Firefly Journey

Chapter 122 The Milky Way Turns and Sails Dance (5)

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, in broad daylight, Dominic never imagined that someone would dare to lay a hand on him in the academy's training grounds.

He thought the other party would be wary because of the academy's rules, but he was wrong. A fist the size of a cooking pot landed on his face, and two streams of warm blood flowed from his nasal cavity.

Lu Jianming withdrew his fist, his expression arrogant.

"You are courting death!"

Having been punched in the face, Dominic disregarded all rules. As a "Wind Chaser" after his second awakening, he was usually respected by everyone in the academy.

That guy surnamed Lü is ruthless, so you can't blame him.

With one step, his figure almost disappeared from everyone's sight. When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Lü Jianming, raising his knife as if to strike!

This is the basic oracle for the Wind Mage path: Swift Step.

Clearly, Dominic's speed running technique is extremely proficient, reaching a level of fluidity and ease.

Clang!

A loud metallic clanging sound came from behind Lü Jianming.

Dominic's dagger struck a sword.

The sword was held by Lü Jianming and glowed in the training ground. The blade was sometimes visible and sometimes not, and from a distance, it was as if it had become invisible!

The sword, named Han Guang, has been with Lü Jianming since childhood and belongs to the royal family of the Chu Kingdom.

The most distinctive feature of this sword is its special material. It does not need to be contained in a scabbard under normal circumstances, but can be integrated into the human body at any time and can be drawn out whenever needed.

This characteristic is often difficult to guard against.

As the swords clashed, Lü Jianming, clearly stronger, used his power despite being at a disadvantage to send Dominic flying.

Dominic stood still, puzzled.

This Crown Prince of Great Chu has a notorious reputation; he's rumored to be an uneducated and dissolute young man. Who would have thought that his strength would be so formidable after today's exchange?

Just as Dominic was lost in thought, Lü Jianming pressed forward again. He was a "swordsman," and his long sword came flying with the wind. Dominic barely managed to defend himself, fighting and retreating at the same time.

Seeing that Dominic was losing, Carlisle wanted to help, but was stopped by someone.

It wasn't Lin Yuanran who stopped him, but his classmates, Princess Delos and Reinhardt.

"Carlisle, do you still want to make things worse?"

Claudia's gentle voice pulled Carlisle back to reality. Strictly speaking, it was he who had started the incident. Lu Jianming couldn't stand seeing his classmate being bullied, so his intervention was perfectly reasonable.

If he were to join the fight between the two, regardless of who wins or loses, they would be in the wrong if anyone were seriously injured.

He is the Crown Prince of the Great Chu, a golden branch and jade leaf. If something goes wrong, they will not be able to bear the consequences.

If they lose, Lü Jianming will at most be scolded and have to pay some medical expenses. The two of them will naturally not get away with it.

Given Lü Jianming's status, regardless of whether they win or lose this fight, they will be the ones who suffer.

Over there, in front of everyone on the training field, Dominic was being beaten back by Lü Jianming, seemingly powerless to fight back.

He did have the ability to fight back, but Lu Jianming's sword moves were too fast, so Dominic could only parry first. It looked like he was being unilaterally beaten.

After several minutes of this, Lü Jianming finally got tired and retreated, ceasing his attack.

Dominic's expression was sinister, his eyes almost blazing with fire, and he nearly drew his knife. Fortunately, Carlisle retained his composure and persuaded him to stop.

Seeing that Lü Jianming had stopped, Lin Yuanran quickly ran over to him, "Are you... alright?"

Lu Jianming said, "What could possibly be wrong with me? Why would that guy pick a fight with you?"

Lin Yuanran glanced in Claudia's direction and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm Her Highness's friend, and he happens to be in love with Her Highness?"

Lu Jianming said, "A piece of trash like him, because he can't get Claudia's friendship, he holds a grudge against people who are close to Claudia. He's a complete idiot."

I usually despise this kind of good-for-nothing. Forget it, mentioning him is bad luck!

Lin Yuanran said, "Then let's not talk about him. What are you doing here today?"

Lu Jianming said, "What? You're allowed to improve yourself, but I'm supposed to just sit around doing nothing?"

Sigh, the teacher is pushing me too hard; sometimes I have to just go along with it.

Lin Yuanran suppressed a laugh: "Then good luck."

Lu Jianming asked, "And you, when are you going to have your second awakening?"

Lin Yuanran smiled and said, "I'm ready. I'll try to get promoted when I get back."

"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself, thinking about catching up with our progress every day." Lü Jianming leaned closer. "Actually, apart from the wind chimes, we envy you quite a bit."

Lin Yuanran asked, puzzled, "What do you envy about me?"

“Of course it’s talent,” Lü Jianming said matter-of-factly. “Think about it, you’ve only been a superhuman for a short time, and you’re already close to the second awakening. Who wouldn’t envy that kind of talent?”

Lin Yuanran suddenly realized that he had overlooked something: he was always focused on his current strength and neglected the time he needed to cultivate. In fact, his cultivation speed had already surpassed that of everyone in Class 29.

He didn't know how to answer, so he said, "Maybe I was just lucky."

Lu Jianming patted him on the shoulder: "Before the second awakening, shall we go to the dance hall together?"

Lin Yuanran's face darkened: "I want to go back and break through as soon as possible."

Lü Jianming laughed heartily: "Just kidding, surely we can have a meal together?"

"can."

……

Dominic was chased and slashed by Lü Jianming for several minutes, and he was also somewhat exhausted. At Carlisle's urging, the two prepared to leave.

Claudia stood before them.

"Class monitor, it's my business who I associate with, and it's none of your concern. Please don't do things like today again."

Claudia was a little angry. She already felt embarrassed when Reinhard forced himself on her, but who knew that this crazy person would do such a thing, which really disgusted her.

Dominic's expression darkened further. Clearly, Claudia had seen through his scheme and issued a warning. Being exposed of one's thoughts, especially unpleasant ones, would make anyone uneasy.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." On the surface, Dominic still wouldn't admit it.

Claudia's face turned colder. "Then you should understand why Lü Jianming was chasing after you and trying to kill you."

Dominic said, "We're playing a friendly match."

Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Claudia didn't bother to say anything more and left directly.

He couldn't afford to offend Princess Tilo and the Crown Prince of Great Chu, but that didn't mean he couldn't afford to offend others.

Reinhard Lee was about to leave when he heard a gust of wind.

“You’re from our Class 26.”

Reinhardt didn't tolerate him at all and took two steps to stand in front of him.

"What? Trying to threaten me? That's hilarious."

Several months into the semester, he had already figured out what kind of person the class monitor was, and given what had just happened, he wasn't going to give him a pleasant look.

"This is St. Louis College, not your home."

who do you think You Are?

Don't think too highly of yourself.
