Insufficient balance

  My face felt wet and I opened my eyes dazedly, only to find that Hei Long was licking me. I smiled and stroked his big head, "Well-behaved, what time is it now?" Only after speaking did I realize that he wouldn't respond to me. I fed him some more food, then went back to the inn to take a bath and have a full meal. After returning to my room, I continued playing chess with Zhou Gong.

  When I woke up, it was already midnight. I exercised my muscles and went to the courtyard to practice the Thirteen Thunderclap Fists. After a day of rest, my physical strength had basically recovered. If it weren't for the dark energy of the Tianmo Cultivation Method these past two days, I'm afraid that even if I managed to hold on until now, I still wouldn't be able to get out of bed yet. I wonder how the other examinees are doing.

  I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice my Dark Magic. It's not easy to use dark magic in the Dragon God Empire, although there are also dark magicians here, but they are very few in number. If I'm discovered using dark magic, I might be accused of being a spy sent by the Demon Clan. After two hours of cultivation, the dark energy inside me had reached its peak state. I raised my right hand and chanted: "Great God of Darkness, with my soul as an offering, with my life as a bridge, grant me your endless divine power, form a solid barrier, protect your servant... Dark Shield."

  As I chant the incantation, a thick black fog begins to appear 1 meter in front of me, enveloping me within it. This is currently my strongest dark magic spell, similar to the Dark Barrier used by Dark Mages, but with much stronger defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding mid-level magical attacks.

  Not bad, with this dark shield, my defense is even stronger. I slowly withdrew the dark magic, and suddenly felt dizzy, my body swayed involuntarily. The backlash of dark magic was really fierce, and even my robust physique couldn't withstand it. Hurriedly running the Tianmo skill, the dizziness gradually dissipated.

  The sky is already bright, I first went to the stable to feed Heilong, who knows how long this exam will take again.

  There were exactly one thousand people gathered on the grounds of Tiandu College, lined up in 20 rows according to their numbers, forming a rectangular formation on the playground.

  That voice from last time rang out again: "All candidates, today is the re-examination. This re-examination will select 300 people from among you 1,000. I hope everyone can bring out their own strength. At the front of each row of teams, there will be a proctor teacher. Please follow the numbering sequence for testing."

  In front of the playground was a row of tables, on which were placed large iron plates about three centimeters thick, and behind the tables sat invigilating teachers.

  I was the first one to walk to the front of this row. The proctor held up the roll call and said, "You're Lei Xiang, number 1, right?"

  "Yes."

  "Alright, the content of the exam is to leave a mark on the iron plate on your desk in the numbered grid, the deeper the better. No weapons are allowed, magic and aura are both acceptable. The exam starts now. Time limit is 30 seconds."

  I looked down and saw that on this large iron plate, there were 50 grids with numbers written on them. This was too simple, wasn't it? The iron plate in my hand was no different from tofu. A slight sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth, and I stretched out my right index finger to press against the iron plate, ready to drill a hole in it. The proctor saw my sneering smile and secretly smiled coldly in his heart, thinking: "You little brat, just wait for your embarrassment. This is an iron plate with a magical seal boundary."

  My fingers were still two centimeters away from the iron plate when I felt that I couldn't press down any further. An invisible airflow blocked my continued descent, and I suddenly realized that there was more to it than meets the eye. As expected, it wasn't that simple. I gradually concentrated the energy of the heavenly thunderbolt on my index finger, took a deep breath, and shouted "Break!" as I pressed down with force. I could feel the intense friction between my index finger and the airflow, and my fingers slowly pressed down, one centimeter at a time. The tenacity of the airflow exceeded my imagination, and the iron plate gradually formed a deeper and deeper indentation due to the airflow's internal concavity.

  Since it can't break through the airflow, I'll add a bit more strength. I'll separate some of the dark energy inside my body to my fingertips. My fingers flashed with black air, and with a "whoosh" sound, they pierced through the airflow. Without the protection of the airflow, the iron plate was easily dented like paper, and even the table below couldn't escape unscathed.

  The proctor's mouth had become O-shaped, because even if he wanted to break through this boundary, it would be very difficult for him to do so, and yet I, a newcomer, had actually managed to do it.

  I sank my breath into my dantian, slowly withdrew my fingers, and said in a cold voice: "Teacher, is that enough?"

  The proctor was taken aback for a moment before reacting, saying: "Alright, I've been invigilating for so many years, and none of them have had such great strength like you. What kind of skill did you use just now? How did your fingers turn black?" He casually wrote down his evaluation on the roster. Since I'm tall, I could see it clearly, and roughly glanced at it - it seemed to say "Piercing Iron Plate", this examinee possesses immense physical strength.

  "I had thought of an excuse beforehand and said: 'That's something I learned from an old man, who told me it was called the Xuan Tian Finger. I didn't think it would come in handy today.'"

  The proctor picked up the iron plate and said, "This can't be used anymore. The boundary has been broken. I'll go exchange for another one. You can rest on the playground first, and we'll announce the results after all the tests are completed."

  I bowed and stepped aside. I didn't want to run too far, because I wanted to see how the other examinees were doing, to determine whether I could be selected.

  Not long after, the invigilating teacher replaced the iron plate and called on the next candidate to take the test. I watched about a dozen people, but none of them could compare with me. At most, they could only make a dent of about 1 cm in the iron plate. One candidate was particularly funny. He should have been studying fire magic. One after another, fireballs continuously hit the iron plate, but he couldn't leave even a single mark on it. When time was almost up, he chanted: "Omnipresent Fire Spirit, grant me endless flames, burn everything in front of me - Exploding Flame." This is an intermediate-level fire magic, and its power looks quite impressive. The invigilating teacher quickly cast a water-based protective shield on himself. After the explosion, there was a loud "Boom" sound, which attracted the attention of all the candidates in the room. However, it turned out that the table had collapsed, while the iron plate remained completely undamaged.

  The candidate who saw this situation knew there was no hope, and he turned around with a mixture of laughter and tears. Many candidates couldn't help but burst out laughing. The invigilating teacher was even more at a loss, writing comments on the students' papers while muttering to himself: "How did I end up encountering such freaks today? One smashed the iron plate, another set the desk on fire... this is just..."

  I thought I should have passed, so I stopped observing other candidates and walked to a side to find a shaded area under a tree to sit down, breathing in the fragrance of plants, waiting for the announcement of results.

  I was meditating with my eyes closed when I suddenly felt like there was someone beside me, and when I opened my eyes, it turned out to be that guy who had just set the table on fire.

  He sat beside me, staring at me. When he saw me open my eyes, he said: "Hello, big brother. I just saw you pierce the iron plate with ease, but no matter how hard I tried, I ended up breaking the table and that iron plate was still intact." His face was filled with a helpless expression by the end of his sentence.

  I gave him a glance, his words made me feel like laughing. I said: "Concentrate your strength." After finishing speaking, I closed my eyes again, although I only spoke six words, but it inspired him greatly.

  He patted his own head and said, "Right, how could I not have thought of that? Let me think about it. I know a fireball magic spell, it should work." After saying that, he ran off again.

  I shook my head, I don't know if the invigilator will let him retake the exam or not. Closed my eyes and continued to rest.

  After an unknown period of time, the broadcast sounded again: "All candidates, please line up in their original formation and announce the exam results."

  I opened my eyes and found that everyone had finished the exam. They were strolling around in twos and threes on the playground. I walked to where I was supposed to stand, thinking to myself, this time I'm sure to pass.

  As expected, the invigilator from just now walked over, and beside him was the examinee who had been copying off me. That examinee made a victorious gesture towards me.

  The invigilating teacher looked at him helplessly and said, "Go, go to the back of the line first." He shrugged his shoulders and ran to the back.

  "Alright, I announce the list of those who passed this exam. Lei Xiang, passed. Hua Song, passed...". He read out about 10 names in a row. The proctor closed the roll book and said: "Those whose names were called stay behind, those who weren't can leave. If you're under 18 years old, you can come back to take the exam next year."

  Many candidates left with their heads down, and other teams also announced that they were almost done. Only 300 people who passed the exam remained on the field.

  About 20 examinees stood unevenly on the playground. After about an hour, several older teachers came, who should be in higher positions.

  One of the teachers in his 50s, wearing a magic robe, said: "Alright, everyone quiet down. I am Zhang Feng, the Dean of Academic Affairs of this college. Congratulations to all of you for being admitted to our college. Next, please let our respected Headmaster Yuehan give us a speech." From his voice, I realized that he was the same person who made the broadcast.

  The examinees on the playground gave a lukewarm applause. An old magician, probably in his sixties or seventies, stood up and coughed twice before saying: "I am the principal of this academy. Firstly, I welcome you all as freshmen. Secondly, I hope that in your future studies, you will not be afraid of hardship, strive to improve yourselves, and aim to become dragon knights as soon as possible. Our academy has produced over 230 dragon knights, who are the pride of the Dragon God Empire's number one university (I later found out that each of the four universities claims to be the number one university). I hope that among you, there will also be someone who can attain this glorious title. Finally, and most importantly, I strictly prohibit all of you from having romantic relationships with each other while in school." With that, he turned around and went back into the teaching building.

  The words, especially the part about the dragon knights, made most of the students' blood boil with excitement (most referring to everyone except me, as dragons cannot accept non-humans). They wished they could immediately ride a flying dragon and show off their prowess. But when they heard the last sentence, everyone fell over. At 16 or 17 years old, it's an age where one is vague about romantic relationships between men and women, full of fantasies. Upon hearing the principal's words, some couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. Suddenly, the playground was filled with discussions.

  The Dean of the Teaching Department looked at the President's back with some dissatisfaction, clearly dissatisfied with the President's way of speaking. He said loudly: "Everyone quiet down, everyone quiet down! The President is right, in order for everyone to better cultivate themselves in the college, try not to get emotional so as not to affect their studies. Now let's start dividing into classes. Students studying martial arts, please move to the west side, students studying magic, please move to the east side, and students studying both magic and martial arts, please stand in the middle."

  All the new students were separated, I thought about it and since we came to learn in secret, it's better to learn a bit of everything, so let's just stand in the middle. The most people learned martial arts, occupying half of the people, more than 100 people learned magic, and only over 40 people learned both magic and martial arts. Then they started dividing into classes, a total of six classes, three for martial arts, two for magic, and one for both magic and martial arts.

  "Alright, the class division is over. Everyone go back and pack your things today, tomorrow bring your daily necessities to report to the college. From now on, except for holidays, it's not allowed to go home, everyone must live in the college. Dismissed."

  Before Director Zhang left, I quickly ran over and asked: "Director Zhang, can I bring my horse to the college to raise it?" I want to find a good place for my Black Dragon.

  The headmaster frowned and said seriously: "You'd better find a place to deal with it, sell it, or raise it elsewhere."

  I said, "But my horse only eats the food I feed it, it's a good horse, I'm willing to pay more tuition fees. Look, can't you make an exception just this once?" For Heilong, even the proud me had to humble myself.

  As soon as I mentioned that I would have to pay more, the principal's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and said, "Bring your horse tomorrow and I'll arrange for it to be kept in the teacher's stable." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Are all teachers like this nowadays? So interested in money.

  He stopped him once again, and said displeased: "What else is it?"

  "My horse is quite fierce, it's best to arrange a separate stable for it, otherwise I'm afraid it will kick and hurt other people's horses."

  Director Zhang said impatiently, "Alright, but you'll have to pay more, 3 gold coins a month." He's really black-hearted, the tuition for half a year is only 20 gold coins, and now the rent for the horse stable is almost as much as the tuition. Luckily I still have a lot of money, when I was leaving my father gave me a Golden Card from the Dragon God Empire, which has 5000 gold coins in it, enough for me to use.

  "Alright, thank you Director. I'll bring it tomorrow. I'm leaving first." The director watched my departing figure and smiled to himself, muttering: "Looks like I can make some extra money again."

  Back at the inn, I packed up my things and went to the Golden Tower to withdraw 200 gold coins for backup. Then I went to the stables to give Black Dragon a good brushing.

  I finally got into Tiandu College with my own strength and took the first step to complete the task. I had a rare excitement in my heart.

  Hello everyone, I want to clarify that this book has a very different style from Guang. At the same time, the protagonist of this book will not stay in the academy for as long as Guang's son. Lei Xiang enters Tiandu Academy mainly to complete his mission, and he will leave the academy in the second volume. The content afterwards is even more exciting, welcome everyone!

  I led the black dragon to Tian Du College, and was stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as I arrived at the entrance.

  "You're a student, aren't you? Tian Du College doesn't allow horses on campus, didn't you know?"

  "I said coldly: 'I don't know, all I know is that it was Director Zhang of the Teaching Department who asked me to bring him.'"

  The gatekeeper was suddenly speechless, and I pulled Hei Long to go inside. I faintly heard the gatekeeper's dissatisfied muttering behind me: "It's just a new student, what's so impressive."

  I entered the college and rushed to the teaching building, telling Heilong to wait for me outside. I wanted to go through the admission procedures first and then come back to settle it down. I came to the Dean's office, knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Come in."

  I pushed open the door and walked into the office of the teaching department, which was quite large with 8 desks arranged inside. Several teachers were seated. I thought I had arrived early enough, but there were already 6 or 7 students in the room, who looked like freshmen. Director Zhang apparently remembered me as the student who rented a horse stable and took the initiative to greet me: "You're here, I've been waiting for you for half a day, go ahead and handle your registration first. What's your name?" The other new students all turned to look at me, all of them boys. One of them even said, "Why should he go first when we arrived earlier?" The director gave him a stern glance and he didn't dare say anything else.

  "My name is Lei Xiang." I said calmly.

  "Lei Xiang, right?" The Dean of Studies flipped through the roster, then looked at me and said: "Tuition for one semester is 20 gold coins, dormitory fee is 5 gold coins, meal fee is 5 gold coins, textbook fee is 1 gold coin, miscellaneous fee is 2 gold coins. You also have a horse, right? I'll collect half a year's worth first... let me calculate... that's a total of 51 gold coins. Pay up."

  Several other students were stunned, looking at the instructor with surprised eyes as if they wanted to say something, but Zhang Feng responded with a sharp gaze, scaring their words back into their mouths.

  I knew he must have cheated me, but in order to stay in the academy smoothly in the future, I pretended not to know and took out 51 gold coins from my pocket and handed them over.

  Director Zhang immediately counted the gold coins with a smile all over his face, and it wasn't until after a while that he came to from his infatuation with the gold coins. He took out a key and handed it over, saying: "Here, this is your dormitory key, the room number is on the key, go find it yourself. Tomorrow, attend class at Room 106, First Floor of the Main Teaching Building." I took the key and said: "Alright, where will my horse be accommodated?"

  The director has already forgotten about it and smiled awkwardly, saying "I'll take you there now, the rest of you wait for a moment."

  I followed him out of the teaching building and was startled by several dozen students gathered at the entrance, most of whom were whispering to each other.

  I used my strong arms to push through the crowd and walked in, just as I had expected, it was Hei Long that was surrounded. Everyone was admiring it, and one bold girl even wanted to go over and touch it, saying "Hello little black horse (I almost fainted, Hei Long is over 10 feet long and 8 feet tall, what a ridiculous thing to say), do you have an owner? Can I pet you?" I was just about to stop her, but I was too slow.

  The black dragon let out a furious long whistle, its front hooves raised high, just about to trample the girl. The girl was shocked by the sudden change and fell to the ground, and was about to become the second victim under the black dragon's hooves when I appeared.

  I swiftly flashed past, holding up the black dragon's hind legs with one hand, just like I conquered it that time. Due to the urgency, I was knocked back a step by the black dragon's powerful force. The black dragon saw me and let out a joyful whistle, and only then did I release its front hooves. I turned my head to shout at the frightened girl: "Are you looking for death? Why are you touching it?"

  The girl got up from the ground, a very cute little girl with purple long hair hanging down to her waist, a petite figure, and a beautiful appearance. Her skin was as white as jade, and her big eyes were filled with mist. Her small face turned pale with fear, and she trembled as she said, "I'm sorry." Tears circled around her eyes, and I waved my hand impatiently, saying, "Stay away from the Black Dragon from now on."

  "Who is this kid, so much strength!"

  "He's really fierce, I've never seen anyone be so fierce to Zixue before."

  I was just about to leave with my horse when a few senior students rushed out from the side. The leader, who was over 1 meter tall, looked very handsome but had a fierce glint in his eye. He stretched out his hand and blocked me, saying: "Quickly apologize to Miss Zixue, you scared her and now you want to leave?"

  I slapped his outstretched hand away with a cold tone: "What business is it of yours?"

  He suddenly became furious and proudly said: "Anyone who dares to bully Zixue is my enemy. I'll take care of you." Then he was about to rush up.

  "A clear voice rang out, 'Wait a minute, Warren, what are you doing again? Hurry up and leave, I won't pursue the matter. Otherwise, go to the disciplinary office for me to give you detention.'"

  That young man named Hua Lun saw the director of studies come out, and with a hateful snort, he threw down a ruthless remark: "You little brat, just you wait, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you."

  I sneered, "Anytime you're ready, but let me warn you, I'm not one to be trifled with. If you end up with a broken arm or leg, don't say I didn't warn you."

  Hua Lun's eyes nearly popped out as he shouted: "You..."

  "Alright, stop arguing, if you continue, I'll lock all of you up."

  Hua Lun left with a few of his men, looking rather displeased. The candidate who had burned the desk yesterday also arrived, and he sidled up to me and whispered, "Take me with you to find him." I turned my head to glance at him, but didn't respond.

  Zhang Feng walked up to Zixue and asked: "Are you okay, Zixue? Don't be so reckless in the future."

  "Yes, Director," said Zi Xue, lowering her head.

  "Alright, you go first, everyone else can disperse too. Lei Xiang, come with me."

  I glanced at Purple Snow again, and she was also looking at me. Our eyes met, and Purple Snow hastily lowered her head, a red flush appearing on her face. The expression that leaked out was indescribably cute, leaving me stunned for a moment. I only turned around to follow Director Zhang after hearing his call, pulling Hei Long along with me as we walked away.

  On the road, Zhang Feng looked at Heilong and praised: "This horse of yours is really good, but it's too fierce. It seems that I'll have to find a separate stable for you. Be careful in the future, to increase the enthusiasm of the students, the college allows fair competition." Unexpectedly, the selfish Dean also cared about me, after hearing his words, I felt that he had a hint of a long-term demeanor.

  "Okay, I'll be careful, thank you."

  I've settled the black dragon, now I'm going to find my long-term residence. I looked at the key in my hand, which had 6-3-4 engraved on it, but I don't know what it means.

  Just then, the young servant who had been sent to burn incense came running over, panting and saying: "I've really found you, your horse is stabled."

  I nodded silently.

  "Which dormitory are you from."

  I handed him the key, he said: "6-3-4, great, we are in the same dormitory, it's building 6, floor 3, room 4. Let's go, I just came out from there."

  "My name is Feng Yun, what's yours?"

  "Rai Shou!"

  "Ah! We're quite fated, one wind and one thunder. By the way, I haven't thanked you for that day's matter yet. The method you taught me really works, I was able to dent the iron plate more than 1 cm deep."

  I curiously asked: "How did you get the proctor to agree to let you retake the test?"

  He gave a mysterious smile, his thumb and index finger rubbed against each other as he sneered: "Hmph, money makes the world go round. It took me a month's worth of part-time job earnings to get this done."

  I'm going crazy, are all the teachers in this school like this? They only recognize money.

  "Lei Xiang, you're so tall and big, it's rare to see someone as tall as you among humans."

  "Oh!" You haven't seen my clansmen yet, they're all over 4 meters tall, but it's better if you don't see them, or else they'll tear you apart. Ugh, why am I inexplicably worried about this kid I just met? I shook my head, trying to throw off the thought.

  "Your horse is still a pony."

  "Really? How did you know." I became somewhat interested when he mentioned Black Dragon.

  "I've studied horse viewing techniques, and that horse of yours should be just over a year old. Your black dragon is the best horse I've ever seen."

  "I actually don't know how big it is either, I bought it from a horse farm."

  "There are such good horses at the horse farm, I'll go take a look next time I have the chance. Alright, we're here, this is our nest from now on, hurry up and get in." He pulled me into the dormitory.

  The dormitory conditions are still good, with two double-decker beds inside, all of which are brand new quilts. It seems that four people will live here, but now there are only me and Fengyun. On the outside of the bed is a pair of desks, on the other side are four iron cabinets, which should be used to store things. In the corner, there are brooms, basins, towels and other daily necessities.

  Fengyun pointed to the lower berth on the right and said: "I'll sleep here, Lei Xiang, you sleep there?"

  I pointed to his upper berth and said: "I'll sleep on top of you." I chose a cabinet and put all my things in it.

  Feng Yun said: "The guy who was looking for trouble with you earlier has a pretty good background, he's a third-year student, seems to be studying martial arts, his family is of noble birth, his dad is even some kind of viscount, it's best to avoid him in the future."

  "Are nobles always so arrogant?"

  Fengyun thought to himself, "You're not much better than him with your arrogance," but he replied, "Yes, the Dragon God Empire's class rule is very strong. The nobles have many privileged conditions. Most people who come here want to practice their martial arts and then join the military to become a noble."

  "What's the story behind that little girl with purple hair?"

  "She's the princess in many people's hearts at school, a second-year student and one of the campus belles. She has quite a few pursuers, but since the school doesn't allow dating between boys and girls, she still hasn't had a boyfriend yet. How about you, have you taken a liking to her?"

  I said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense." But the lovely face of Purple Snow appeared before my eyes. The term "Institute Flower" felt very novel to me, so I continued to ask, "Are there any other Institute Flowers in the college?"

  "Yes, there are over 2000 people in the college, among them eight beauties, and Zixue is ranked sixth. I'll introduce you to the others when we meet next time."

  "I curiously asked: 'How are you so familiar with the college? Aren't you also a freshman?'"

  He smiled awkwardly and whispered to me: "I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else, I worked as a janitor at the college for a year last year, that's why I know so much about it."

  It wasn't until now that I suddenly realized, it seems he has put in a lot of effort to get this far.

  At this time, two people came in from outside, and what surprised me was that the two looked exactly alike. Is this human twins? I secretly speculated in my heart.

  Feng Yun saw them coming in and took the initiative to greet them: "Are you also living in this dormitory?"

  "Ah yes, I'm Fire Sign, he's Fire Star. We're twins from Kun City."

  Feng Yun excitedly said: "So from now on, we're roommates! I'm Feng Yun, from Harbin. And you are Lei Xiang... Ah, right, Lei Xiang, where are you from?"

  I secretly felt a pang in my heart and said: "I have no home, wandering all around."

  Feng Yun said: "Oh, then you must have had a hard life. Two fire brothers, you live on this side of the upper and lower bunks. How can you tell them apart when they look so alike?"

  Hu brothers looked at each other and smiled. Hu said: "I am the eldest, there is a small mole at the corner of my left eye, my brother does not have it."

  "Ah, now it's clear, you all have the surname Huo, are you learning fire magic?"

  Mars nodded and said: "We are Mo Wu Shuang Xiu, with fire magic matching swordsmanship." It turned out that they were the same as me, on the surface, they all had impressive strength.

  "Feng Yun said: 'That must be very fierce, you two are both magic warriors, and I'm the only magician.'"

  Huǒ Xíng Dào: "Léi Xiáng yě shì mó wǔ shuāng xiū ma? Nǐ xué shén me máo fǎ de."

  Translation:

  "Huo Xingdao: 'Is Lei Xiang also a demon martial dual cultivator? What kind of magic did you learn.'"

  I said coldly: "I haven't learned magic yet, I'll learn it later."

  "What? You've never studied magic, how did you end up in the Magic Warrior class?"

  He talks too much nonsense, just like Feng Yun. I impatiently said: "I like magic, can't I learn it later?"

  The atmosphere was a bit tense, so he hastily intervened and said: "Come on, let's go eat, I'm starving."

  ……

  Lying on the bed, I looked at the ceiling only less than 1 meter away from my face and thought that the first step of the task had finally been taken. From now on, it's just a matter of learning and practicing more. I calmed down and started to practice my Tianmo Gong. In order not to be discovered by them, I could only practice lying down. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, the effect was still pretty good.

  I got up early, they were all still asleep, the sky was just a little bright, I ran to the dormitory door alone and practiced a set of Crazy Thunder Thirteen Fists to loosen my muscles. The cafeteria wasn't open yet, so I ran to the horse stable, Black Dragon was doing well, I fed it some fodder and then took it out for a ride on the playground, circling around until the sky brightened up before sending it back.

  Back in the dormitory, all three of them were already up. Feng Yun asked: "Lei Xiang, where did you go so early?"

  "I'm going for a horse ride."

  Hu Xiong asked in surprise: "Can the academy still bring horses in?"

  I thought of my expensive horse shed and sighed: "Spent 1 gold coin renting a semester's horse shed."

  "Wow, 1 gold coin? The academy is too dark!"

  "I sighed and said, 'What can I do? Am I not going to rent it out? Heilong is inseparable from me anyway.'"

  "Fengyun sighed and said: "You're really rich. Let's go, have some breakfast, then we have to attend class. We can't be late on the first day of class."

  After finishing breakfast, Feng Yun and we parted ways in the main teaching building. He was attending class in room 104, while we were in room 106.
