I Have a Golden Crow

One and a half hours later, the vehicle arrived at the South Suburb of Ancient Pine Tower City, reaching an old campus—the Third Vocational Senior High School in Ancient Pine Tower City.

”Leave your luggage on the bus, bring your Demon Soldiers and Pets, and gather at the playground.” Gong Cheng stopped the vehicle, raised his eyes to the rearview mirror to look at the indifferent boys and girls, and shouted, ”Don’t understand what I’m saying?”

The trainees quickly stood up, hurriedly lined up to get off the bus.

Li Mengnan had a Wind Witch Doll floating beside her face, holding a Little Fire Fox in her arms, whispering behind Du Yu, ”This teacher is so fierce.”

Du Yu wisely kept quiet; who knew the hearing range of the scar-faced teacher?

After getting off the bus, Du Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit strange. This place seemed to have been abandoned for quite a while, the environment somewhat desolate. Looking around, there were only a few old buildings.

The playground was covered with yellow dust, weeds sparsely scattered, with some peeling training equipment visible in the northeast corner, along with a few broken targets.

Du Yu examined the training environment for the next three days, while the children from wealthy families already felt half defeated in their hearts!

Is this the training base?

This deserted place, even in daylight, seemed a bit eerie; imagine it at night!

”Bang!” Gong Cheng strode forward, kicked open the school’s big iron gate, and stepped onto the sandy playground.

The trainees fell silent, hurriedly following behind.

As he walked, Gong Cheng spoke, ”You are very lucky, catching the tail end of awakening.”

”You are also very unlucky.” Gong Cheng walked to the center of the field, looking around, ”The good fields, facilities, training conditions, all reserved for the younger Awakeners.

Evidently, people think you deserve only this.”

Gong Cheng slowly turned around, a terrifying smile appearing on his dark scarred face, ”I think so too.”

His gaze swept over the group, watching the children dare not show their anger, his smile widened.

It was clear that Gong Cheng’s teaching style was unique, and with a few simple words, he roughly understood the children’s personalities by observing their reactions.

Until he saw Du Yu, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.

While everyone else felt indignant, confused, or dejected, Du Yu was staring at a girl’s butt?

Heavens bear witness, Du Yu was not looking at Li Mengnan.

He was looking at the Little Fire Fox in her hands, which was behind her back.

The little guy’s golden-brown fox eyes sparkled, looking at Du Yu through Li Mengnan’s slender fingers, seemingly begging its owner to save it from the clutches.

It was quite the drama queen, and the acting was truly convincing, which couldn’t help but make Du Yu marvel at the terrifying racial talent.

”Du Yu!”

”Here!” Du Yu jumped, turning to look at Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng said sternly, ”I spoke to all of you like this, what do you think?”

”Uh...” Du Yu stammered, ”I trust the decision-making of all levels of leadership in Ancient Pine Tower City; I comply with all arrangements of Demon Spirit Academy!”

Gong Cheng: ???

Are you at a press conference or something?

What’s this about being seventeen, eighteen, and youthful recklessness?

Gong Cheng’s face darkened: ”Less spine among a bunch of cowards; I’m truly blind. Bring me a class president with some backbone!”

Du Yu’s position as class president was forcibly imposed by Gong Cheng, and this time, the autocratic tyrant extended an invitation to the entire class.

”Report!” Wei Feng stepped forward boldly.

”Teacher, me!”

As Wei Feng volunteered, several others also spoke up.

The position of class president was undoubtedly the best place to assist the teacher; as long as Gong Cheng was pleased, securing Demon Soldiers was a sure bet.

Hearing the response, Gong Cheng felt slightly satisfied; this is how young people should be!

If you don’t have that unwillingness, refusal, and competitive spirit, how can you be a young person? How can you be a Demon Tamer?

Gong Cheng indicated for a few to step forward: ”In the young stage of the Demon Pet, your responsibility is to protect your Demon Pet.

From childhood to adulthood, you’ve always taken martial arts classes. If you want to be class president, show me your skills.”

Four trainees stepped forward, three males and one female. Listening to Gong Cheng’s orders, they were unsure if the teacher wanted them to display martial arts prowess or spar with each other.

Gong Cheng: ”Temporarily hand over Demon Pets to other trainees, start anytime.”

The few kids were a bit confused, no rules stated, no groups formed for battles, just pure chaos?

Wei Feng looked around, thinking that none of the trainees on either side were easy to deal with!

Nonsense, who else would boldly step out under Gong Cheng’s fierce stare?

Unsure of the others’ capabilities, Wei Feng didn’t dare act rashly, while clutching his Wolf Lake Dog for care and contemplating swiftly.

He didn’t know the backgrounds of the other three, but he was very familiar with one person—the former class president, Du Yu!

This kid studied archery, rarely had sparring sessions in daily classes, and the final exams were pure target shooting; what skill level could he have?

He himself used a saber, taking the well-known Du Yu as a stepping stone, showcasing his martial arts, venting his frustration, wouldn’t it be splendid?

Teacher Gong Cheng said he wanted everyone to showcase their skills, but he didn’t specify how to showcase them, so...

Wei Feng: ”Du Yu!”

”Hmm?” Compared to Du Yu, Li Mengnan turned to look first.

Wei Feng looked far at Du Yu, his Wooden Saber pointing directly at Du Yu’s nose: ”Back down already? Quit being class president?”

Li Mengnan immediately felt displeased, clearly understanding why Du Yu was being targeted by Wei Feng.

She spoke her mind, standing up for justice, ”There are people competing with you for class monitor, stop picking on the easy targets!”

Du Yu: ”...”

Actually, he also wanted to be the class monitor because he very much needed that custom Demon Soldier.

But Du Yu wanted to stay low for now, join the battle later, and reap the benefits.

The problem was, Li Mengnan, as Du Yu’s classmate who took martial arts classes together, understood Du Yu’s abilities far better than Wei Feng.

So what if he was a Demon Taming genius? Du Yu had no real combat experience, and if he really fought Wei Feng, he might just get beaten up badly...

The unique cultural environment created unique phenomena.

Generally, students who studied archery in academies tended to be the more scholarly type, as it didn’t involve much combat and had a lower chance of getting injured, making it very suitable for those who recognized reality and didn’t dream of becoming Demon Tamers.

So, even if the students present didn’t know Du Yu, seeing him with a bow, they probably understood his situation.

And Li Mengnan’s words were like stabbing a knife into Wei Feng’s heart, bursting his little plan, leaving him very upset!

At this moment, Li Mengnan’s defense of Du Yu became secondary, and Wei Feng was too upset to be jealous.

The main issue was that he left a bad impression on Teacher Gong, and might become an object of scorn for other students.

Wei Feng: ”You... you... shut up! I’m asking him!”

Li Mengnan raised her eyebrows, her temper flaring up in an instant, she held her Black Wood Sword, ready for confrontation.

Du Yu suddenly reached out and tugged on Li Mengnan’s sleeve: ”Oh no, the brown-noser is biting back~”

Wei Feng: ???

Caught off guard!

Wei Feng’s face turned red and blue, and the surrounding students started to buzz with conversation. Some were covering their mouths to stifle laughter, some were gleeful, others were amused, and some even had a heart of pity...

This is how the world works: if you step on others to climb higher, don’t blame them for pulling you down.

In the distance, Gong Cheng also showed interest, not missing a chance to watch the drama, and shouted loudly, ”Start anytime.”

This voice was like a horn signaling the start of battle!

”Du Yu!!!” Wei Feng roared in anger, gripping his Black Wood Saber tightly, and charged straight towards Du Yu.

The students on the path quickly made way, afraid to provoke this enraged fellow.

”You’re shameless!” Li Mengnan cried out, her voice full of resentment from a year of endless harassment.

She drew her Black Wood Sword in one swift motion, standing in front of Du Yu.

Such a scene only fueled Wei Feng’s anger further: ”Get out of my way! This isn’t your business!”

”Slap.”

A hand landed on Li Mengnan’s shoulder.

The girl’s expression turned unfriendly, turning to look at Du Yu, only to feel herself being gently pushed aside.

Du Yu took off the Demon Soldier Black Wood he carried, and whispered: ”Did you hear that?”

Li Mengnan was confused: ”Hear what?”

Du Yu slightly raised his head, nodding towards the incoming Wei Feng: ”The sound of a breaking heart.”

”Uh?” Li Mengnan slightly widened her eyes, but before she could speak, a wave of heat rushed at her!

Du Yu’s posture was textbook perfect!

Because his graduation grades were to be recorded in the college entrance examination, Du Yu, who previously had no dreams of Demon Taming, had no other choice.

He gripped the bow handle, pinching the string with his fingers.

The jet-black wooden bow instantly drew into a full moon shape, exuding a scorching aura.

The next moment, Wei Feng, who was charging in anger, suddenly screeched to a halt, freezing in place!

The field erupted completely, with an uproarious sound of astonishment.

”Whoa!?”

”He... he already activated the Demon Soldier?”

”Damn! Today he really showed off!”

Whether amazed or schadenfreude, those who watched clicking their tongues in wonder, while the targeted Wei Feng felt a chill, not daring to move!

The blazing Fire Arrow pointed directly at Wei Feng’s face.

Even more terrifying was Du Yu’s pair of fiery eyes, made bright to a dazzling extent under the Fire Attribute!

Without meeting eyes with Du Yu, others couldn’t fathom the intense dangerous feeling. Wei Feng even felt like he was completely locked down!

”Get close! What’s to fear! Get close!” came Gong Cheng’s hoarse shout from afar.

”Gulp.” Wei Feng’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

It might be hard for others to believe, but compared to the Fire Arrow aimed at his face, Wei Feng feared Du Yu’s eyes more!

Li Mengnan dumbfoundedly stared at Du Yu, having seen him activate the Demon Soldier before, but standing behind him then.

She hadn’t truly witnessed those intimidating eyes, and at that time, Du Yu didn’t emit the menacing aura he did today!

Spectators were already feeling uneasy, let alone those targeted by the Black Wood Bow?

The power of the Demon Soldier was terrifying indeed!

Li Mengnan clenched her fists, overwhelmed with joy!

Great! My second brother is invincible!
