MTL - Final Priesthood

Chapter 37 The Crow and the Shuttle

 The competition on the stage continues.

 While watching the tenth and last game of the night.

Lin Zhiqin, who was explaining, suddenly stopped and asked Lu Yuan: "When do you have time every day?"

 The road was far away and I was startled.

 After being silent for a while, he replied: "School ends at half past five, and you can do anything after that.

 It's summer vacation in two weeks, and I'll have a lot of free time then. "

"good."

Lin Zhiqin smiled when he heard Lu Yuan's answer.

 This is Lu Yuan’s formal agreement.

“Then I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon.

 Which school are you at? "

Lin Zhiqin’s tone of voice seemed to suddenly become relaxed and approachable.

 “So fast?”

Lu Yuan thought for a while and said, "I also want to make some preparations and find time to buy insurance or something."

"ha"

Lin Zhiqin couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What are you thinking?

 Let me teach you how to play in actual combat first, and a few other things.

 Your foundation and punching power are both good, but you are still a little lacking if you want to get on stage.

Although participating in the competition is mainly for training in actual combat, it is better not to get beaten if you can.

You can save yourself a few scoldings when you go home, right?"

Lu Yuan suddenly felt that Lin Zhiqin in front of him had become cute.

 After all ten games have been played, there is another dance at the end similar to the beginning.

 The Mosaic emblems jumped out from the big screens on all four sides.

 The eyes of the giant goat-headed statue on top of the venue began to flash red.

This time Lu Yuan is sure, there must be a red sensor light installed inside.

Lu Yuan and Lin Zhiqin walked out of the venue before the dance on stage ended.

 Go through the lobby, corridor, and elevator to the first floor.

 It is already dark outside.

The street lights on the roadside were on, and there was a moon hanging in the sky.

The circle is quite round, but it is hazy and cannot be seen clearly.

 “It’s almost nine o’clock, I’ll take you home.”

Lin Zhiqin greeted Lu Yuan to get in the car.

Lu Yuan was about to open the car door.

 Suddenly I heard a noisy flapping of wings overhead.

 He raised his head and looked towards the sky.

I saw that the clouds that originally covered the moon in the night sky had dispersed at some point.

 The moon looked big, round and white after taking a breath.

 And in this bright moonlit sky, a group of black bird shadows flew quickly past and disappeared into the distance.

"That is."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared for a while, "Crow?"

“Where are there so many crows in the city?”

Lu Yuan shook his head and sat in the car without thinking more.

“12 seconds 33!”

"Again!"

“12 seconds 54!”

 “Come again.”

 On the track and field, a teenager practiced 100-meter sprint again and again.

 At the finish line, another person of similar age was holding a cell phone and recording constantly.

 After another sprint, the boy in charge of taking notes suddenly jumped up and shouted.

 “Whoops! 11 seconds 89!”

 “You can do it for a long way, this speed can catch up with a sprinter!”

 Cheng Peng had a look of amazement on his face. He looked at Lu Yuan with his cell phone as if he were looking at a monster.

 Slowly walk back from a long distance.

“The speed has improved a lot. Before, I couldn’t even get past the passing mark of 13.5 seconds for the 100-meter sprint.

 In addition to agility, estimation is also related to strength.

 My legs have become much more explosive.

Well, [absolute concentration] also has certain blessings.”

The last sprint was done with [Absolute Concentration] turned on.

  As a result, it broke the 12-second mark.

 Although this score was recorded by Cheng Peng on his mobile phone, it is not accurate.

Multiple sprints in a short period of time caused a large amount of lactic acid to accumulate in the muscles of both legs, causing Lu Yuan to feel a little sore and numb in both legs.

 Cheng Peng is still yelling. "When did you become so awesome? I really took it. Did you secretly do it behind my back?"

Cheng Peng considers himself a sports expert, but Lu Yuan is far beyond his reach in all aspects.

 “Just keep practicing and you’ll get better.”

Lu Yuan answered casually while gently massaging his legs.

 “Damn, how long have you been practicing martial arts for?”

Cheng Peng said angrily, and then couldn't help complaining: "Speaking of which, you took me to skip the self-study class in the afternoon. I'm not really going to practice jogging with you, right?"

“Isn’t it bad to exercise?

 After sitting in the classroom for a day, my buttocks are almost numb. If I go out and stretch my muscles, my brain can work faster and my learning efficiency will be higher."

 “You are second in grade, you are awesome, you are amazing”

 Cheng Peng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, but his face had an expression of "I really belong to you."

 The results of this monthly exam have come in.

As expected, he was among the top three in his grade, and ranked second, only a few points behind the first.

Of course, the head teacher and teachers of various subjects have to praise me, and my classmates admire me.

If it was a month ago, Lu Yuan might have felt very happy.

but now.

He thought that was all.

 It is not as good as the sense of accomplishment that one step forward in martial arts brings him.

 On the contrary, because he ranked among the top three in his grade in this monthly exam, the two thousand yuan scholarship awarded by the school was quite substantial.

“The final exam is in two weeks, and I can take it again.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt better and called Cheng Peng: "Go to the canteen. I'm treating you today. You can take whatever you want."

"real?"

 Cheng Peng seemed a little moved, but he looked at the time.

His eyes suddenly flickered.

“Forget it, I have something else to do, I’ll give you a good beating next time.”

As he said that, he actually started running towards the teaching building.

Lu Yuan noticed something was wrong and couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing?"

Cheng Peng turned his head and smiled at him, blinking: "Give someone something, buddy. I'm in love, haha!"

"Grass!"

Lu Yuan was startled, and subconsciously blurted out, "When did it happen?"

“I’ll tell you later.

　　It will be my senior year of high school soon. If I don’t fall in love, my youth will slip away!

Ling Yue is left to you, think about it carefully, it’s a long way to go! "

Cheng Peng didn’t look back, and opened his arms while running, as if he was embracing his youth wantonly.

Unfortunately, this artistic conception did not last for two seconds before it was completely destroyed by a loud roar from the distance.

“Then so and so! Which class are you in?

 Stop! "

Cheng Peng swung like a rabbit that ran away, looking much faster than Lu Yuan had just sprinted 100 meters.

ˆ “.”

Lu Yuan stood there speechlessly, watching Cheng Peng's back quickly disappear.

 He doesn’t care about being caught by the dean.

With his status as the second grader, let alone self-study, even if he peed on the playground now, the school leaders would praise him for caring for flowers and plants.

 “Youth.Love”

Lu Yuan shook his head and shook these two words out of his head.

 “It’s such a waste of time, why not study and practice martial arts.”

 “Practice for a while longer.”

Lu Yuan glanced at the career panel. After practicing sprinting, his basic footwork had improved by a few points.

Just when Lu Yuan was about to run two more laps around the playground.

 Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound above the head.

 “Buzz buzz—”

The sound was like countless dragonflies fluttering their wings and flying over his head.

 He subconsciously raised his head.

Overhead, I saw several shuttle-like silver-gray aircraft slowly passing through the sky.

 Very close to him.

 It's like you can reach it by stretching out your hand.

 “Magnetic shuttle.”

Lu Yuan was startled for a moment.

He has only seen this thing on TV news.

For some reason, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of what Lin Zhiqin had said to him in the car yesterday.

 “Above.”

 “Is this someone coming from above?”
