C12 The Road Ahead Was Long

Teacher Du took off her high heels, revealing her snow-white jade feet. She sat cross-legged with her back facing Zhao Lei. It was unknown if she was embarrassed or angry, but Teacher Du's face was getting redder and redder, and there was even a white fragrant mist that wet her black hair.

Teacher Du, who was completely drenched, was as elegant as a lotus flower. It made Zhao Lei's entire body itch.

Gradually, Zhao Lei realized that the temperature in the room was getting higher and higher, but he did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort. Zhao Lei felt the change in his spiritual world, so he quickly eliminated distracting thoughts and used his heart to feel it.

The ring in his mind was actually absorbing the elemental power that leaked out from Teacher Du's breakthrough.

What surprised him the most was the scene in his spiritual world. If it wasn't for the ring hanging shamelessly in the sky, Zhao Lei would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place.

The originally dark and lightless spiritual world was actually covered in a layer of colorful light mist. It was like an aurora, and the source of the aurora was actually four small seeds. Zhao Lei drew closer and saw a swaying flame, a jumping lightning sprout, a spinning whirlwind, and a pile of golden sand.

These few lively little fellows were his elemental elements!

The ring absorbed the elements from the outside world, and the elements scattered out from the spiritual world like the sun. Zhao Lei could feel the few little fellows growing stronger and stronger under the nourishment of the light.

Who would have thought that this ring would actually have such a wonderful use? If so, wouldn't he be even more powerful than the Yellow Emperor?

Zhao Lei was extremely excited. If he hadn't discovered this, his study career would have been extremely difficult, and his future could even be bleak.

Furthermore, Zhao Lei discovered that not only was this ring taking care of his four elemental babies, it was also nourishing his spiritual world. Zhao Lei's originally dry soul was receiving the spiritual dew from the ring, and it was gradually filled with vitality.

Awesome! It was simply too awesome! Zhao Lei felt as if his brain had been placed in a fridge under the scorching sun. The feeling of clarity was as if his soul had left his body.

Zhao Lei walked around his spiritual world a few times like a king inspecting his territory before leaving with satisfaction.

"Fuck!" Zhao Lei looked at the scene in front of him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He saw Teacher Du's jade body ignite with a scarlet flame, and her clothes … her clothes were actually evaporated by the high temperature.

Zhao Lei's eyes widened. Who the hell could withstand this scene? He was a gentleman, and he would never do anything that would take advantage of others.

Furthermore, Zhao Lei saw that Teacher Du's body was enshrouded in a layer of blue and purple mist that lingered on her skin. Zhao Lei's eyes widened when he saw this. This was simply a fairy descending to the mortal world.

In fact, it was not so. This layer of blue and purple fog was a visual effect formed by the disintegration of lightning and air. It was also the free electrons formed by the ionization of the air.

Zhao Lei was so shocked that he could not speak. As expected of the world of extraordinary ability, it was unimaginable for the human body to produce such a strong electric field. Zhao Lei withdrew his lust and took a few steps back, afraid that Teacher Du would kill him with a flare.

What kind of breakthrough was it to cause such a phenomenon? Zhao Lei couldn't help but sigh. He should stop thinking about it and take this opportunity to learn more.

Sensing the environment created by his teacher's breakthrough, Zhao Lei had a feeling in his heart. He closed his eyes and began to meditate.

There were a lot of information about elementalists in the library. Most of them were unknown to Zhao Lei, so he did not know too much about them. Today, with the help of his teacher's breakthrough, Zhao Lei seemed to have understood a lot of things in an instant.

"The first step of elementalists is to control the elements. If I can't feel the elements, how can I control them?"

"The reason why I couldn't feel them before was because of this ring. Now, I can clearly feel the movement and distribution of the elements in the air."

"The key to capturing these elements is the psychic force. The ring no longer suppresses my mind, but instead, it feeds back the psychic force. I just need to slowly train."

To put it bluntly, training the psychic force was like training the muscles. After repeated torture, the toughness of the psychic force would continuously increase. When it reached a certain limit, he could find a way to break through and form a stronger psychic force. This point was different from the muscles. The psychic force could grow infinitely, so the path of an extraordinary ability user was endless.

Now that the ring could provide him with 'white powder', Zhao Lei was like a VIP member in the gym, and could grow even more efficiently.

If there was a bad thing about it, it was that other people only needed to train one part of their body while Zhao Lei had to train the entire body and feed the four elemental seeds.

"Zhao Lei, although I don't know why, but your situation can still be saved. I hope you don't give up on yourself." Teacher Du woke up from her breakthrough and her voice was a little weak.

"Teacher, thank you for your comfort. I'm fine. Even if there is no hope, I will do my best." Zhao Lei was not an idiot. Teacher Du must have seen something, but he could not reveal the ring's matter. Otherwise, he might get into trouble. So Zhao Lei pretended that he didn't know anything.

"Hehe, you are quite slick. By the way, do I look good?" Teacher Du bit her red lips and teased Zhao Lei.

"Okay, okay, okay… Look…" Zhao Lei was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat. This answer was a good one. If he did not answer it, he would die. His eyes were clearly showing that he wanted to kill him.

"Get out after you finish looking at me. How long do you want to see me?" Teacher Du's face was calm, but Zhao Lei's face was as red as a monkey's butt.

"Alright, alright. Teacher, what about your clothes… What should I do?" Zhao Lei asked curiously.

"What? You want to see me change my clothes?" Teacher Du narrowed her eyes and said with a hint of killing intent in her tone.

"I don't dare to... Then I'll leave. Thank you, Teacher. Goodbye!" After saying that, Zhao Lei ran out like he was escaping.

"I will send the situation of today's awakening to your parents. Zhao Lei, your situation is a little special. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Zhao Lei stopped at the door and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Okay."

I was worried that you wouldn't have clothes to wear, and you even turned around and asked for my parents' help... Zhao Lei cursed in his heart and closed the door and left.

"Old Zhao, you woke up. Are you feeling better?" Han Xiaotian, who was squatting not far away and playing Bingo with Lv Wei on the ground, stood up and asked. Lv Wei also looked at Zhao Lei with the same expression.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'm going home."

Han Xiaotian said goodbye to Zhao Lei and Yu Wei at the school gate. Zhao Lei and Yu Wei also went home as usual.

When they arrived at the door, Zhao Lei felt a sense of fear when he saw the familiar door. This kind of fear was completely because of fear.

Zhao Lei had just entered the door when he saw his parents quietly sitting in the living room. They, who usually greeted him, were silent at this moment, and they seemed a little disappointed.

Zhao Lei walked to Zhao Xingguo nervously.

"Sit down. We will know about your matter." Zhao Xingguo patted the seat beside him.

"Dad, I …" Zhao Lei wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhao Xingguo's action of raising his hand.

"Son, I know what you want to say, but you still have to do your best. Your father thinks that his aptitude is not that good, and even graduating from high school is barely enough."

"I know that it is indeed difficult to go to school, and you are in this situation now. Actually, there is no need to make things difficult for yourself."

"Child, if you want to inherit the ancestral business, my small factory and my connections can all be given to you. Even if you don't have the support of the wood attribute, I can still raise you. At least, you won't have a problem to establish a family."

Zhao Lei was silent. He didn't expect that his father would think of this step. Zhao Lei could understand. Awakening four elements, anyone would feel that it was hopeless. His father just wanted to comfort him.

"Leylei, I know you are smart and arrogant, but the road is still long. Don't be impulsive and ruin your future." His mother, who was silent at the side, said.

"Dad, I said I have confidence. Do you believe me?" Zhao Lei said seriously.

"I believe you! How could your dad not believe you? I can see your intelligence, but confidence and future are two different things. Leylei, think about it carefully."

Zhao Lei didn't know what to say for a moment. He planned to keep the secret of the ring. Even his parents could not say anything. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but that he was afraid of bringing unnecessary trouble to his parents.

Seeing that Zhao Lei was hesitating, Zhao Xingguo sighed.

"Lei Lei, are you willing to go all out?" Zhao Xingguo suddenly became serious.

Zhao Lei looked into Zhao Xingguo's eyes and nodded.

"Then, no matter how painful it is, you have to endure the tears and persevere. Even if you fail in the end, you can still cry without regret. If you can promise me that you will continue to learn!"

"I promise!" Zhao Lei said solemnly.

The father and son pair's eyes lit up with a fiery flame, and they returned to their usual state.

After Zhao Lei finished eating, he locked himself in his bedroom and read a book while meditating. Looking at the Elemental Seed that was being watered by the ring, Zhao Lei felt the pressure of studying for the first time.

Zhao Xingguo's words actually touched Zhao Lei. If it was in the past, this might not be a good arrangement, but the situation was different now.

The world outside was more cruel than he had imagined. The death of a human was even more lowly in this world than he had imagined. The world outside the city was a forbidden land filled with tigers and wolves. If one didn't have the strength, being an ordinary entrepreneur was indeed the safest.

"My future is all up to you, ring." The only thing that Zhao Lei had confidence in now was this strange gold ring. Although it was a bit unreliable to bet his fate on it, he was still young and had the capital to bet on it.

In his meditation, Zhao Lei entered a state of sleep, but his meditation was still continuing. He knew that even if he stopped for a second, he would be relaxed.

Han Xiaotian had said that 80% of the students in Class 1 had already awakened during the summer break before the start of school. Although their cultivation speed would be very slow during the adaptation period (around the age of 16 years old), they had still won the race in the beginning. If he could not use all his strength to catch up to them, then no matter how beautiful his words were, it would be useless.

The road ahead was long and winding.
