Raising A Golden Crow In Secret - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Demon

During lunch, Li Mengnan tutored Du Yu on the morning classes before leaving the cafeteria together.

When they reached the hall on the first floor, Du Yu also saw Gong Cheng standing at the entrance of the dormitory building.

What was Devil Gong up to now?

Du Yu and Li Mengnan looked at each other before stepping forward. “Coach Gong.”

Gong crossed his arms in front of him and looked out into the open air. “Meet me here at one-thirty this afternoon.”

Du Yu followed Gong Cheng’s gaze and saw more than a dozen students standing motionless in the rain outside the glass door. Du Yu asked curiously, “Coach Gong, were they punished by you?”

Gong Cheng said, “No, they’re training to activate the demonic aura in their bodies to envelop their bodies and prevent them from being drenched by the rain.”

Li Mengnan blinked and asked, “Are we going to train too?”

“This is a one-thirty class this afternoon,” Gong said, glancing indifferently at Li. “But if you want to practice early, I have no reason to stop you.”

“I see.” Du looked around curiously. “Do we have anything to look out for?”

Gong Cheng: “Prepare clean clothes for easy replacement.”

Du Yu was speechless. Li Mengnan stepped forward and said in a delicate voice, “Teacher Gong, is there a trick to activating the demonic aura in your body?”

Gong Cheng: “Put the demon weapon aside for the time being to avoid interference. Choose a demon aura of a certain element. That way, it will be easier to control.”

Use the demonic aura spilling out of your body as a piece of clothing to cover every inch of your skin.”

Du Yu was completely speechless. This is quite the differential treatment!

Why did Li Mengnan get a patient answer; just because she was prettier than me?

I didn’t expect you to be like this, Old Demon Gong…

“Thank you, Coach Gong,” Li Mengnan said. Sensing Du Yu’s resentful gaze, her smile became even sweeter.

As it turned out, even the most cold-faced teacher liked beautiful things.

Gong Cheng added, “Without the demon weapon as a medium, the demonic aura in your bodies has nowhere to go, so you can easily release it. The key is how to evenly smear the demonic aura on your bodies.”

“Alright, Teacher. I’ll go out and try now.” Li Mengnan held Little Fox in his hand and reluctantly reached for Du Yu’s forehead.

“Sob-” Little Fox looked at Li Mengnan pitifully.

Li Mengnan’s mood instantly plummeted. Every time they parted, Little Fox makes her feel like a cold hearted woman!!

Who could withstand this…

Pfft…

The little fire fox turned into sparks and danced around, fusing into Du Yu’s forehead.

The favored little fox finally left. The wind-witch doll saw its chance and hurried forward: TAT

However, with Shal in front of him, the little face of the Wind Witch Baby was not lethal at all. It was directly grabbed by Li Mengnan and pressed into her forehead.

The two of them stepped out of the door, and Gong Cheng’s voice came from behind again. “Du Yu.”

“Here!” Du Yu turned around with a searching expression.

Gong Cheng: “What are you going to do? Is there enough fire demon aura in your body?” Du nodded. “It should be enough.”

Gong Cheng sneered. “You’re pitifully weak, but you’re surprisingly stubborn.”

Du Yu was very helpless. “Teacher, I’ve been cultivating since yesterday afternoon until noon today. The fire demon aura in my body has replenished a lot.”

Gong Cheng: “Cultivation? Are you sure you didn’t sleep until noon today?”

Du didn’t respond. He stepped back, shrugged, turned, and walked out the glass door with Li Mengnan.

This time, it was Gong Cheng’s turn to feel uncomfortable!

He was reluctant to admit that Du Yu’s occasional tricks were quite interesting. For example, this time: mocking and confident.

When Du Yu walked into the rain, Gong Cheng felt a little emotional.

Ever since Du Yu’s dazzling performance in the pouring rain yesterday afternoon, Gong Cheng had investigated Du Yu’s identity and background in detail.

No doubt about it: Disciples of the Paper Crane.

The words “disciple of the paper crane” were teasing and derogatory.

This was because demon tamers were supposed to be a minority, a profession that ordinary people could only fantasize about in their dreams.

Ever since the phenomenon descended from the sky and the Thousand Paper Crane Storm spread across half of Great Xia’s borders, any Tom, Dick, and Harry had awakened to become a demon tamer!

This was Great Xia’s fortune. After all, they had a considerable amount of talent reserves.

At the same time, as the news fermented over the past two days, the young men and women who were awakened by this phenomenon were also given the title of “Paper Crane Disciples”.

The envy, jealousy, jealousy, and hatred of people were vividly reflected on the Internet. It was a spectacular scene.

Why wasn’t I the one who awakened?

Why didn’t it happen last year? I’ve just passed puberty! It wasn’t easy for me to become a demon tamer a few years ago. My status was as noble as diamonds and gold. Suddenly, I became a commoner?

Heh, just you wait! All the gifts in fate had already been secretly marked.

If he was in the limelight now, he would die a horrible death sooner or later!

All kinds of comments made the internet environment in the country chaotic, and the artillery fire outside the country was even more intense!

Great Xia had already become the target of public criticism.

In the media around the world, this “miracle” that belonged to Great Xia had become a conspiracy by the Great Xia’s demon department. Their ambitions were obvious, and they did not hesitate to use civilians as test subjects.

Conspiracy theorists: These teenagers who violate the laws of nature and are forcefully awakened by artificial means will one day suffer a backlash.

Of course, Du Yu had yet to have the chance to experience this hatred, jealousy, and contempt. He had to wait until he walked out of the training base in the future.

On one hand, Gong Cheng’s investigation of Du Yu confirmed that Du Yu had only awakened three days ago. To be able to perform so well in training, he recognized Du Yu’s talent.

On the other hand, Gong studied Du Yu’s family background.

At this point, Gong Cheng also understood why Du Yu was silent and stiff when he said that he needs to nurture Little Firefox with high-level demon pet rations.

“I’ll earn some money, pay off some debts, and fill my stomach.” Gong Cheng looked at Du Yu standing in the rain and recalled his dream. He couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He seemed to have seen this young man somewhere before.

In his vision, Du Yu’s body surged with traces of demonic aura, like a thick and visible gas, but there was no flame at all.

Without the help of demon weapons, demon tamers lacked a medium, and their bodies could not release wind, fire, lightning, and thunder. This also caused a unique phenomenon on Du Yu. Compared to Du Yu, Li Mengnan’s control of the demonic aura seemed to be more meticulous. She stood with her eyes closed and tried to put on a “Demon Breath Cloak” on herself.

Gong Cheng turned around and left. In the empty environment, a complicated smile appeared on his terrifying scar-faced face.

‘Young man. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before.’

The girl too.

Unfortunately, the years were so long that he’d almost forgotten what she looked like.

“Wow! Du Yu, Du Yu, am I done?” Outside the dormitory building, in the rain, Li Mengnan’s face was full of surprise as she quickly walked to Du Yu. “Look.”

Du Yu opened his eyes in disbelief.

Upon closer inspection, Li Mengnan’s raised palm was covered in a thick layer of gas.

“Tick-tock ~”

A drop of rain landed on the girl’s fingertip, but it didn’t land on her skin. Instead, it landed on a thin layer of demonic breath. The drop slid away and fell.

“What elemental demon breath did you use?”

Li Mengnan said, “The wind. The wind is the most annoying. It’s very suitable to wrap around the body.”

Du Yu carefully studied Li Mengnan’s hand and couldn’t help but nod to himself. Hmm… It looked a little good?

It was half past one, drizzling.

Gong Cheng appeared at the entrance of the dormitory building on time. The entrance was already filled with students practicing hard in the rain.

He walked through the crowd and said in a low voice, “Those of you who think you’ve learned well, follow me to the field.”

A group of students walked out of the group of 24. The remaining few who did not move lowered their heads in shame.

Gong Cheng turned around and glanced at them, feeling very dissatisfied. Although classes would only officially start at 1:30 p.m., everyone had already started practicing in advance.

For an entire lunch break, someone actually failed to master such a simple technique? This talent was really surprisingly poor.

As the Internet said, any Tom, Dick, and Harry could become a demon tamer!

“Summon your demon pets and distance yourselves from the others.” After arriving in the middle of the field, Gong Cheng ordered, “Du Yu, come here.”

“Yes!”

Du Yu summoned Little Fire Fox and walked quickly to Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng looked down at Du Yu. “You think you’ve already mastered the release of demonic aura.”

Du Yu nodded decisively and held out his palm for the teacher’s inspection.

Gong Cheng couldn’t be bothered to look and directly ordered, “Pull away from your demon pet by two meters.”

Du Yu obediently did as he was told. “Shal, stand here and don’t move.”

As the human and pet distanced themselves, Gong Cheng said, “Let the demon pet attack you.”

Du Yu said, “Huh?”

Gong Cheng: “There are umbrellas and raincoats in this world. Why did you use demonic aura as clothes to block the rain? Because it’s cool?”

Du Yu scratched his head. ‘Isn’t it cool?’

Gong Cheng glanced at Du Yu coldly. “No matter what the appearance of the demonic technique is, its essence is composed of demonic aura.

Now wrap your arms in demon breath to ward off the sparks spat out by the little firefox.”

Du Yu knelt on one knee on the muddy ground, one hand wrapped in demonic aura, and reached to his side. “Shal, use Sparks Splash on my palm!”

“Boohoo,” Little Fox whimpered, looking puzzled and a little distressed.

Fox-eyed and dazed, she hung her head in the misty drizzle and shook it from side to side aggrievedly, refusing to hurt her master.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded!

‘Is! This! For! Real?’

Most demon pets could refuse to attack their masters, but they would definitely not be as emotional as Little Fox.

This time, she lowered her head and moaned with the extreme charm of the Firefox race. It was already numbing for everyone!

Du Yu was also at a loss. He did not expect his order to result in such a scene.

‘What are you doing in the rain with me?’

It was unknown if Little Scorcher had contributed to Shal’s intelligence.

Many of the students present were carrying their demon pets, including some fire foxes, but how could anyone be as troublesome as Shal?

Although Gong Cheng had good expression control, he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Did this strange species that fought with the heavens and the earth put all its talent points into acting?
