Weak and pathetic but able to fight

Chapter 43

As if nothing had happened before, Xu Chengwen continued to teach her students.

Shi An stood at the end of the line, his head hanging absentmindedly, and the sound of the teacher's lecture not far away from him was like white noise passing by his ears, half-hearing it.

He closed his eyes, feeling the magic of the dragon's molt that he hadn't fully absorbed.

Absorbing magic power is something that becomes more and more difficult the further you go.

Yesterday, Shi An was forced to push the progress forward by 20% in order to change his form back to human.

Although he had changed back, he had left his tail behind as a curse.

After that, Shi An in order to retrieve the tail, as long as there was time, he seized every opportunity to absorb the dragon molt within his body, but, it seems that because the previous absorption was too rapid, the progress has been stagnant.

Until now--

You don't know until you feel it, but it's a shock.

Shi An didn't realize that after just one night, the progress that had been stuck before going to bed was showing signs of loosening.

He opened his eyes with a puzzled look.

It's strange, I didn't do anything except sleep with Mu Hang last night, but the absorption of the dragon's moult became faster all of a sudden.

While Shi An was lost in thought, Xu Chengwen stopped the lecture.

He flashed an impish smile at the freshmen in front of him and said, "I've basically told you guys pretty much the trick to controlling your magic, now it's time to actually do it."

Xu Chengwen turned on the controller and pressed a few times on it skillfully.

Accompanied by the obvious fluctuation of magic power, the sound of the machine running echoed in the large training room.

With the blue light weaving through, a simulated demonic creature appeared not far from the freshmen's eyes, lining up in a neat formation, this kind of demonic creature was called the Rock Armor Beast, with a huge body and extremely thick armor, almost considered indestructible, and accustomed to balling up its body into a ball to crash into the enemy.

Of course, they weren't without their weaknesses, there was a piece of light-colored skin on the right rear side of the rock-armored beasts that was their air hole, and by controlling the magic to attack that area you could force the rock-armored beasts out of their fighting state.

But the operation is far less simple than it sounds.

The rock-armored beast attacked at a fast speed, and in that high-speed rolling state, it was simply difficult to hit the air holes.

Although the rock armored beast in front of him was simulated, both the attack speed and the attack ability were greatly toned down, the impact was not dead, but the pain was still no problem for ten days and half a month.

Looking at the entire row of rock-armored beasts in front of them, the freshmen couldn't help but feel their scalps numb.

Although they had long heard of Xu Chengwen's reputation, they really didn't expect that the other party would actually teach this type of practical exercises in the first class of the school year.

The metal ground on the rock-armored beast's side slowly lifted, creating a slope between the demon and the students.

Looking at the rows of students in front of him, Xu Chengwen said, "Although it is said that each rock-armored beast is only tracking a single student, one must be extremely careful not to be hit by other people's rock-armored beasts, after all, they are not long for the eyes."

With that, Xu Chengwen grunted and tapped on the operating board once more.

The simulated rock-armored beast at the top of the slope curled up into a huge sphere and rumbled down the slope with a deafening roar.

By the time Shi An came back to her senses, the other freshmen had already scattered and were hardened against the rock-armored beasts that belonged to them.

He blinked at the huge rock that was crushing straight at him.

Eh?

What happened?

His brain was a little sluggish from not getting enough sleep last night.

In those few seconds, the rocks had rumbled and rolled in front of them.

Shi An was startled and subconsciously wanted to set fire to it, but the voice of the Demon Worm rang sharply in his ears, "My lord! No way!"

--The intensity of the Dragon Flame was so great that it could even burn right through this simulated rock-armored beast.

But this was definitely not the strength that an ordinary freshman should have, and being so flamboyant in plain sight went against the word low-key.

Shi An: "!!!"

Right. Oh!

He stiffly stopped his intention to start a fire and dodged to the side in some distress, barely avoiding the rock-armored beast's attack.

The rock-armored beast clearly recognized Shi An, and after rolling out some distance, it stopped, slowly reversed its direction, and continued to charge towards Shi An.

Shi An the Worm's ear shouts, "Air hole air hole, right there!"

Shi An was distracted by its raucous voice, not only did he have to control the force not to burn the rock-armored beast straight through, but he also had to find air holes in the high-speed rolling rock-armored beast - as a dragon that was used to solving problems in a simple and rough manner since its birth, this kind of delicate work was really not suitable for him.

"Shut up." Shi An grits her teeth.

Devil Worm: "Eh-eh-eh, my lord! You ......"

Shi An looked grumpy, "I told you to shut up-"

"No, you watch your back!" Magic Worm screamed out anxiously.

...... eh?

Shi An was stunned and turned his head to look.

The huge rough rock had already attacked in front of him, bringing up a whistling wind sound that was swift and harsh, and in the blink of an eye, it had stuck to a very close position.

Compared to the huge and ugly demonic creature in front of him, the teenager who was about to be run over seemed so slender and fragile.

The contrast between the two brings a strong visual impact.

-- As if witnessing a catastrophic tragedy, such a situation always makes it completely impossible to take one's eyes off it, both in intolerance and anticipation.

The passage of time seemed to slow down.

However, the rock stopped hard in front of Shi An, locked firmly in place a step away from him.

Click, click, click ......

A fine sound rang out from the body of the rock-armored beast.

The teenager slowly withdrew his hand, his finger bones were slender, the back of his hand was white, a layer of silvery-white shimmering light flickered slightly as if it were a metallic film, and disappeared in an instant.

"Click."

There was a clearer cracking sound as thin, broken pieces of rock fell down.

The others slowly looked toward the rock-armored beast in shock.

Only a fist-sized black hole was sunk deep into the location of its air hole, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out from the demon's thick armor.

Surprisingly ...... was directly punched and violently pierced.

The rock-armored beast convulsed twice, its huge body spreading out before it disappeared into a light blue point of light.

Magic Worm: "......"

You really didn't use your magic.

Xu Chengwen, who had rushed to the side, was also dumbfounded.

As much as he would like to see his students suffer, Shi An was going to see that officer next, and any injury he sustained would not be good for him.

But I didn't expect things to be resolved before I had a chance to make my move

And then when I think about the image of Shi An directly crushing the magic ball just now--

Xu Chengwen paused the test, the corners of her mouth twitching as she said dryly

"Well, I didn't expect that Shi An would find his niche so quickly... Strength Department... not bad, not bad, very promising."

Other students: "......"

Grass.

The power system?

The strength system is also a direction of development for ability users, a direction that focuses on melee physical combat, where all magic is used to strengthen physical strength.

It was just that the strength system's ability users were basically all big and strong.

And Shi An ......

Only the teenager remained frozen in place, fluttering his eyelashes, he didn't seem to have regained his senses, his eyes were clear and ignorant, appearing extraordinarily soft and harmless - if the others hadn't seen with their own eyes that he had just punched through the armor of a demonic creature that was known for its defensive power.

This weak and pathetic looking, but capable of punching people to death strength system ......

Not to mention the freshmen, even Xu Chengwen is seeing it for the first time.

Also, most freshmen don't typically find their niche in full until after their sophomore year.

As a freshman, Shi An is already ridiculously fast.

Shi Rui, who was staring at Shi An from the side, took a deep breath and retracted his eyes.

Shi An had started school several years later and was older than everyone else, so wasn't it normal to find a niche?

Besides, the strength department is the one with the worst development potential, so what if it's more powerful? It's still a physical fight.

Shi Rui found a reason to comfort himself, and hardened the negative emotions rolling around in his heart.

Lin Yanming scooted over and lowered his voice, saying with some incredulity, "Wow, aren't you a Fire-type?"

Shi An thought for a moment, and finally answered ambiguously, "...... two taels, count both."

He's a dragon, after all.

The kind that breathes fire and has super high physical and magical resistance.

*

After the class, Shi An walks happily out with Lin Yanming with his tail between his legs - the promise to lend him the game console for a few more days has made Shi An so overwhelmed with joy that he has completely forgotten to call Mu Hang.

However, having been stood up a few times before, Mu Hang had obviously expected this.

As soon as Shi An went out the door, he was stopped by Wen Yao, who was already waiting at the door, "Shi An!

She Shi An waved:

"The officer asked me to take you to the principal's side."

Shi An: "......"

Day Oh, there's no escaping these.

He waved goodbye to Lin Yanming and got into Wen Yao's car.

Soon the principal's residence arrived.

It was a tall spire that looked extraordinarily old, with stairs stretching upward in a circle, fine particles of dust floating in the air, and the smell of stale books spreading through the air, making it seem extraordinarily quiet, as if the passage of time had been slowed down.

The tip of the tower is a large, book-stacked room.

The white-haired, white-bearded old principal sat in a soft chair, the small table in front of him piled high with books, his glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

Mu Hang stands at the table, eyes downcast, whispering something to Principal Pei.

Wen Yao raised his hand, knocked gently on the door with his knuckles, and said politely, "Sir, Shi An has arrived."

When she finished, she turned sideways.

Shi An was far behind and was trudging up the last few flights of stairs, his pale face tinted with layers of red from the over-exercise and panting with exhaustion.

-Why on earth do you live so high up!

He thought sadly in his mind.

Mu Hang frowned vaguely as he looked at the exhausted teenager in front of him.

Too much lack of exercise.

Principal Pei showed Shi An a kind smile, "Hello, young man."

Shi An: "......"

You're the young man. The young man who's less than a fraction of my age!

Principal Pei, who was unaware of Shi An's mental activities, smiled and said, "I remember you, you're the one who was able to solve that additional problem of mine, right?"

He wiped his beard, shook his head and sighed, "It's true that the later generations are fearful, as long as they are properly cultivated, they must be quite accomplished in ancient languages."

Shi An thanked me meekly on the surface, but in her heart she didn't take it seriously.

After all, it was an ancient language to humans, but to him, it was just language.

I only heard Principal Pei amiably continue, "It just so happens that today, Officer Mu came to me for help, asking for advice about ancient scripts, so I thought of you, and I didn't realize that you and Officer Mu were old acquaintances as well, and it just so happens that I also felt that your joining in would be of great benefit, and that's why I asked you to come here, to see if you'd be willing to help out?"

Shi An blinks, "What favor?"

Principal Pei pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and stretched out his wrinkled, withered fingers to slowly turn a page in the book in front of him:

"The translation of this ancient book."

Shi An's eyes fell on the book spread out on the tabletop - thick, dark red-colored wrappers, ancient boards, precious writing materials, and the familiar preservation of enchantments ......

"............" Shi An fell silent.

The tips of his ears slowly reddened.

--Yes, it's that sick book ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
