Chapter 33: The Stolen Secret Manual

  "Ah!" Lei Xuan was even more surprised, quickly walking a few steps forward and curiously asking: "I didn't use my full strength, earlier I saw your speed, you must have cultivated internal energy, why didn't you use it to resist?"

  Li Junshan wiped the blood from his lip with his sleeve, shook his head with a bitter smile and thought to himself: "At most, it's just been modified by alien genes, what kind of crap is this Dou Qi, I was too careless."

  "Come on." Li Junshan only exchanged one move with him, and he knew that he was absolutely no match for Lei Xuan in terms of physical strength alone. He said, "I'm going to release the summoned beast now."

  Lei Yuan nodded and retreated more than a dozen steps. Seeing Lei Yuan stand still, Li Junshan's mind moved, and the mutant that had merged with the Jumping Rabbit gene was released by him. The moment the mutant with only fierce and evil aura and extremely cruel characteristics came out, it caused a burst of screams in the field.

  Lei Xuan saw the alien creature, a flash of sharp light in his eyes, and his expression became much more cautious.

  "Whoosh." The deformed creature jumped up dozens of meters high, fiercely pouncing down on Lei Xuan, while its tail swung forward, the long tail bone swishing back and forth on top of its head.

  Lei Xuan's spirit was stirred, and he didn't retreat. Instead, he forcefully jumped up more than three meters high, dodging the monster's deformed front paws in mid-air, and punched towards its chest.

  The deformed instinctive body dodged the lightning-fast flashing right fist, and its body strength exhausted fell downwards. Taking advantage of the momentum, it swung its tail, and the icy light-emitting tailbone stabbed fiercely towards Leixuan's back.

  Lei Xuan's body suddenly shifted slightly to the side, as if a third eye had grown on the back of his head, and he dodged the alien's sharp tailbone that was stabbing towards him. With a burst of strength, he sank down and chased after the alien.

  The deformed coccyx stabbed an empty space, and when it was retracted, it formed an arc. With a sudden contraction, the unavoidable Lei Xuan's right leg was wrapped around, and at the same time as he fell to the ground, the deformed creature slammed Lei Xuan heavily to the ground.

  Bang.

  The loud crash of Lei Xuan's fall to the ground made the surrounding students change color. The alien saw that its attack was effective, and it quickly pulled back Lei Xuan's majestic body with its tail.

  "Ah......" The grotesque, drooling mouth let out a miserable cry as it quickly pulled its tail back in, only to be met with Lei Yuan's electrically charged right fist striking the tail.

  Dashing to the side of the alien, Lei Xuan took a deep breath and swiftly dodged the alien's sharp tailbone with a quick flick of his head. His left fist, ablaze with flames, struck the alien's chest, sending it flying backward with a blood-curdling scream.

  Lei Xuan's body didn't stop, rapidly charging and grabbing the alien's tail that was dragging in mid-air, just as he was about to swing it down to smash it into the ground. Suddenly, he heard Faye let out a shrill cry: "Be careful."

  Lei Xuan only felt a fierce chill and killing intent behind him, his neck involuntarily breaking out in goosebumps. His body suddenly stiffened. Slowly releasing the strange tail bone in his hand, he struggled to turn his head around, his face ashen.

  Behind his head, a grotesque mouth opened wide with saliva flowing like a river. The tongue bone in the mouth contracted into a small ball, and the eyes stared at Lei Xuan with no emotion, cold as ice. The sharp tailbone that flashed with the light of death stood high above his head.

  The school naturally has its own rules, challenges are common, and injuries often occur, but killing is absolutely not allowed. Lei Xuan's heart was clear about this point, but he couldn't help feeling a sense of injustice.

  "I lost." Lei Xuan let out a deep sigh, he hadn't even detected this strange creature, if it had struck to kill just now...

  Li Junshan smiled slightly, the alien was born a cold-blooded assassin, absolutely an expert in sneak attacks. Moreover, Lei Xuan's attention was completely absorbed by the first alien, but he didn't notice that the second alien he released had sneaked up behind him.

  The deformed object was retrieved, and Li Junshan hadn't spoken yet when a voice came from the side of the field.

  "Lei Xuan, you haven't lost yet." Fizi shouted loudly: "Put on the black iron armor, take up your sword and fight him again!"

  "Shut up." Lei Xuan, although a bit simple-minded and acting solely on his emotions, wasn't stupid. Upon hearing Fei Qi's words, he immediately realized that he had been used by the siblings and strode towards Brandon with large steps.

  Brandon subconsciously took a step back, his face pale as he explained: "Lei Xuan, listen to me."

  "Shut up." Lei Xuan cursed: "You bastard of the Hariman family, listen up. Next time something like this happens again, I'll break your bones to pieces. Damn it, all you know is bullying those weaker than you, or insulting commoners. What a thing, I've disliked you for a long time."

  "And you, stinky woman, I thought you had some sense, but it turns out you're trying to use me too. You two bastards, blind your dog eyes and get lost."

  Brandon and Fizzy didn't dare to retort, the former's face turned pale, the latter's face turned iron-green, and they walked out with their heads down. The other few noble youths who were together exchanged a glance, and tacitly dispersed.

  Lei Xuan spat at their backs and turned to walk towards Li Junshan, still muttering curses under his breath.

  "There are two of you, I think you're quite all right, let's get acquainted." Lei Xuan walked up to Li Junshan and extended his hand, saying "Lei Jia Lei Xuan".

  "Ah." Li Junshan grasped his hand, blinked his eyes and said: "Hariman family's Nicholas, you can call me Little Mountain."

  "Uh!" Lei Xuan was taken aback, scratching his black hair, and said with some embarrassment: "You just told me to call that bastard Brandon brother, I forgot. Is your injury okay? I saw you didn't dodge earlier, so I held back some of my fighting energy."

  "Hehe, it's nothing." Li Junshan also only felt uncomfortable for a moment, knowing that he had spared him, and laughed heartily several times.

  "I may not necessarily lose." Lei Xuan saw the onlookers slowly dispersing and quietly said to Li Junshan, "If I wear the black iron armor given by my mother and hold the Thunderbird fine sword in hand, your summoned beast won't have it easy. One day when we have time, let's try again."

  "You will definitely lose." Li Junshan, suppressing a smile, said in a low voice: "I have several such summoning beasts. The other day, three of them tore apart a war general."

  "Ah!" Lei Xuan's eyes widened in shock, and then he burst out laughing.

  "Sounds good, let's go! I'll treat you to a drink." Lei Yuan slapped Li Junshan on the shoulder with a hearty laugh.

  "Never mind, I live in room 309 on the fifth floor. Let's catch up and have a drink another time. For now, I still need to go find my supervisor."

  Lei Xuan whispered to Li Junshan's ear, "It's Lundao, no big deal. That old man is notorious for being a pervert in the academy. I heard he even snuck into the girls' dormitory to peek at the female students showering and was severely reprimanded by the principal later on. Dealing with him is easy, if he has any complaints about you, come find me and I'll help you take care of it."

  "Lei Jia's kid is talking trash about me again."

  Lei Yuan and Li Junshan looked up to see Randolph sauntering over.

  "Mr. Lundorf, how dare I speak ill of you." Lei Xuan said with a smile: "Xiaoyama is my brother, please take care of him in the future."

  "Get out of here." Randolph jeered with a laugh. Ray smiled and walked towards the northern district of the academy, saying loudly: "Xiaoyue, I'll come find you tonight and take you to a fun place."

  As he passed by Fati, Lei Xuan stopped again, patted Fati's shoulder and said loudly: "You're indeed a friend of Xiaoshan, you have a lot of backbone, not bad, not bad."

  Fa Te's right shoulder sank, and he gritted his teeth in anger. Lei Xuan had already turned around and walked away.

  Li Junshan nodded with a smile and followed Randolph after seeing him walk towards the Magic Teaching Building.

  "Everyone go home, no class today." A student who was pointing and gesturing at Li Junshan next to Randolph shouted.

  A group of students from the Summoning Class stood far away, all somewhat excited. Upon hearing Randolph's words, they waved at Li Junshan from afar and dispersed.

  Sedun and Nansy stood far away, looking at Li Junshan with a complex expression. When they saw him look over, the two of them turned around and left.

  A few steps to catch up with Randolph, Li Junshan asked him: "Master, who is Lei Xuan? I saw him scolding Brandon and the Hariman family, seemingly very unscrupulous. Also, his fighting energy is green, which means he's a high-level warrior, but I feel that his strength is even stronger than a war master, almost got into big trouble just now."

  "This kid is a freak." Randolph's eyes reluctantly left the female student walking by and he continued, "His father is Marquis Lei Wu, a renowned warrior of the Empire who cultivates Thunder Flame. It's said that he's about to break through from War Saint to War God, but his personality is steady and calm. Most of Lei Xuan's explosive temper comes from his mother, Murong Linghuo, who is also a warrior cultivating Fire Fist. She's a great Battle Master, but her temper is notoriously volatile."

  "Lei Xuan, this freak, had cultivated the Thunder and Fire dual-element Dou Qi five years ago. Although he only has a high-level warrior's cyan Dou Qi, with the assistance of his dual-element Dou Qi, his strength is indeed more formidable than that of an average warrior. His mother, Murong Linghuo, dotes on him excessively, so in the academy, he is fearless and no one dares to provoke him. However, his temperament isn't bad; he usually doesn't provoke others either, it's just that he has a bit of a lecherous streak, often surrounding himself with those beautiful young girls from the academy, but none have been able to stay by his side for too long."

  "Debauched? You also have the nerve to say it out loud. Who dares to compare with you in debauchery, and yet you sneak a peek at female students taking baths, without any respect for your age."

  "No wonder that day, the war master of York's guard could fight for half a day, but couldn't take Lei Yuan's single move with his bare hands. It seems this kid is indeed an oddball." Li Junshan said to himself.

  As they spoke, the two returned to the empty Summoning Class. Randolph led Li Junshan to a corner and asked: "Your summon is quite unusual, where did it come from?"

  Li Junshan was asked this question for not the first or second time, and he answered perfunctorily.

  Randolph furrowed his brow and asked, "Where did you learn your summoning skills before?"

  Li Junshan shook his head, took out the summoning technique book he carried with him, and said: "It's all my own learning, just following this summoning technique secret book."

  Randolph took it over and flipped through a few pages, furrowed his brow and said: "Where did you get this thing?"

  "It was bought." Li Junshan said: "A family heirloom picked up from an old beggar, it is said to be a textbook personally compiled by Mr. Anoriwa when he taught at the Imperial Academy, now all out of print."

  Rendall stared at Li Junshan with a look of utter foolishness, saying: "A family heirloom? If this is an heirloom, I can take off my pants and put them in the Imperial Museum as an exhibit."

  "The art of summoning has evolved to this day, although some have declined and withered away. The textbooks are all written based on the wisdom and experience summarized by our predecessors. This book is not only ancient but also full of loopholes. I reckon it was a pirated copy made when Mr. Anoriva's Summoning Notes were first popular. It's absolutely out of print, a bootlegged version, worth no more than a few coppers back then."
