The next morning, Du Yu had a beautiful meal. He repeatedly stopped Teacher Li Hong from sending him off and went downstairs with his bedroll.
Du Yu found the charity donation box by the street and donated everything he could.
He had some confidence in himself. He believed that he could afford new clothes and bedding in the future, and possibly even a small den.
Carrying his tactical backpack and carrying the Demon Soldier Blackwood, Du Yu boarded the No. 65 bus under the envious gazes of everyone.
He arrived at Creeksong Gardens promptly at quarter past eight.
To be honest, Du Yu had originally thought that this was a park. He only found out last night that this was actually a high-end residential area.
Looking in from the gate of the neighborhood, he saw only lush greenery. He didn't know where the asphalt road led.
"Hello, are you looking for someone?" A uniformed security guard beside the guardhouse at the entrance of the district saw Du Yu sticking his head out and immediately went forward to ask.
Du Yu nodded. "Teacher Yang Qingqing asked me to look for her here. She's a teacher at the Demon Academy."
"Ms. Yang has instructed me to trouble you to show your identification."
"Here." Du Yu handed the student ID card to the other party. His ID card was also clipped inside.
"Alright, please follow me." The security guard called for the others to take over as he led Du Yu to a small mobility scooter.
Du Yu had never seen such a scene before. As he rode in the tent cart, he felt like he was touring a scenic area. Along the way, he actually saw the scenery of the pavilion and lake?
After walking for a while, the car finally stopped in front of a tall building. The security guard escorted them all the way until he helped Du Yu swipe the elevator card on the 17th floor before saying goodbye and leaving.
Du Yu stared silently at the electronic screen, feeling apprehensive as the numbers kept jumping.
'Why call me to the house?'
Was this considered recognizing the door?
Ding!
As the elevator door opened, Du Yu was completely dumbfounded!
'Good God! Is this a botanical garden?'
Du Yu wasn't sure if he was in the corridor or if he had already entered someone's house. There were flowers and plants everywhere.
Few flowers, many leaves.
Even the walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with green flowers and leaves.
"Just a moment," came a faint, cool female voice.
"Oo, yes," Du Yu replied hastily, following the sound to his left. He passed through the flower-covered corridors and finally entered the interior of the botanical garden.
Du Yu's expression was strange. He could tell where the residential area is. After all, there was a lot of furniture, appliances, and other decorations.
But other than that, this place was completely submerged in green leaves, even more so than the outside. Du Yu couldn't understand it.
Teacher Yang Qingqing lived here?
'Drunk oxygen during the day and oxygen deprivation at night?'
While he was thinking, a small tree suddenly moved in the huge flower pot beside the television in the living room. There was a pleasant rustling sound.
Du Yu stared at the lush leaves of the small tree, thinking that some demon pet would come out of it.
However, after looking at it for a long time, Du Yu realized that the small tree was moving on its own?
The dense branches and leaves swayed gently without any wind. This…
Du Yu hurriedly took out the phone issued by the school and opened the Demon Spirit Guide. He aimed the camera at the leafy tree.
After scanning for a moment, lines of messages appeared in the demon pet index:
"Fiery Tong Tree, a dual fire and wood elemental demon plant.
It produced a red fruit called the Fire Tong Fruit, a high-level demon material. The fruit was highly nutritious and was very popular with fire-type demon pets.
Assessment of strength level…
Heaven Realm, Lesser Mastery ~ Heaven Realm, Peak Mastery. The specific strength is based on the actual situation. The index is only for reference."
Du Yu's mouth formed an O!
Mortal, Earth, Heaven, Spirit…
This small tree was actually a Heaven Realm demon plant?
Unlike demon beasts, demon plants could not be contracted and could not be absorbed into the bodies of demon tamers.
However, this Heaven Realm demonic plant was placed in the living room by Yang Qingqing as a decoration?
Du Yu stood obediently, not daring to move.
He wasn't moving, but branches were poking out of the distant plant, extending.
With a rustle of leaves, the tree branch crossed the huge living room and gradually arrived in front of Du Yu.
"Teacher… Teacher Yang!" Du Yu saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly shouted.
"Yes?" Footsteps sounded at the far end of the wooden staircase.
A moment later, Yang Qingqing came down in a light green nightgown and a face wash.
Du Yu pointed at the leaf that was about to reach him and hurriedly said, "It… it…"
"Okay, play with it for a while. Wait for me." With that, Yang Qingqing turned around and walked upstairs.
Du Yu: ???
'Aren't you afraid it will play me to death?'
Du Yu was still cursing in his heart when the branches of the tong tree had already wrapped around his body. It was much softer than he had imagined.
Du Yu whispered, "Hello?"
Demonic plants were different from demon beasts. Fiery trees did not have faces, eyes, mouths, or anything like that. It did not seem to have feet either. After all, its roots were still stuck in that big flower pot.
The fire tree did not give Du Yu any response. Instead, Little Scorcher's voice sounded in his mind. "Let's peel off its bark."
Du Yu was shocked and hurriedly persuaded in his mind, "No, no, Little Scorcher, you've got the wrong tree! It's definitely not the one you fought with."
Little Burning Sun muttered softly, "I don't like trees. I hate trees."
"No, no, no. This is his private property. We can't afford to compensate her. When I leave here later, I'll give you a few more snacks!"
"Well, all right."
As they conversed, the tong tree leaves had already rubbed against Du Yu's face. The leaves were like small hands that gently caressed Du Yu's face.
Every inch of his skin was traced, as if it were recording Du Yu's appearance.
When the bare-faced Yang Qingqing walked downstairs, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Du Yu's position had been completely buried by leaves. From the outside, he looked like a cocoon.
"Alright, alright," Yang Qingqing said casually. The fire tree was very spiritual. As its master spoke, the lush leaves gradually loosened and retracted.
However, Yang Qingqing casually grabbed two fiery red fruits under the layers of hidden leaves.
"Heh…" Du Yu took a deep breath. He was finally released and finally saw the teacher in front of him.
"It has already remembered your appearance. You're friends now. This is its greeting gift to you." As she spoke, Yang Qingqing threw two Fire Tong Fruits to Du Yu.
Du Yu hurriedly caught it and was overjoyed!
I don't know how many sandwiched biscuits a fire tung fruit can produce, but Teacher Qingqing directly gave me two raw ingredients?
However, the fruit was the size of a ping pong ball. It was a little difficult to swallow it raw.
At the thought of biting open the fruit and swallowing it, Du Yu felt his stomach begin to turn sour…
"You know the mission target for the one-year training period, right?" Yang Qingqing waved her hand.
"Yes." Du Yu didn't know what the teacher meant, but he realized that the green leaves crawling on the walls of the hall were suddenly rustling!
Clusters of flowers and leaves surged over and actually pieced together a square table of leaves and placed it horizontally in front of Du Yu's eyes.
"Sit." Yang Qingqing sat on a chair made of leaves. "Within a year, you can become an official as long as you achieve one goal. Do you have any questions about these missions?"
Du Yu looked behind him and also saw a leaf-woven chair. He sat down carefully.
In the phones distributed by the students, there was not only the demon pet index, but also the target of the training period.
It was divided into six categories:
1. A demon pet advanced to the peak Earth Realm.
2. Cadet advanced to demon tamer scholar—peak mastery.
3. Obtain a low-grade, or higher, Feeder's Certificate.
4. Complete 100 copper-level missions.
5. Obtain one or more Demon Spirit Library rings.
6. Make major contributions to the demon spirit cause, including but not limited to discovering new types of demon beasts, demon spirit fruits, developing new demon skills, and so on. The final explanation belongs to the Demon Spirit Academy.
Du Yu's words were powerful. He tried to express his confidence in front of the teacher. "The first and second items should be able to be completed."
"It's good that you're confident." Yang Qingqing gently knocked on the leaf table. She knew that Du Yu was different. After all, in the student records Gong Cheng had given her, Du Yu was already a demon tamer--lesser mastery.
As Yang Qingqing tapped her fingers on the table, branches and leaves wrapped around a longbow and slowly placed it on the table.
As the leaves retreated like a tide, the longbow revealed its original appearance.
It was clearly made of wood, but it was silver all over, and it was the dim kind.
"This is your custom-made demon weapon. It can be used for about six months. Teacher sealed a unique demon arrow array in it."
As the leaf table surged, the wooden bow was pushed in front of Du Yu.
Du Yu reached out and gently touched the longbow. "Demon Arrow Array?"
Yang Qingqing pointed at the handle where there was a slightly sunken flame pattern. "Activating the demon arrow array will give you a new way of output."
Du Yu looked at the flame pattern curiously and hurriedly asked, "What output method?"
"You can try." Yang Qingqing turned her body slightly. Ten meters behind her, a pile of flowers and leaves formed a wall of leaves.
Du Yu picked up the dark silver longbow and immediately stood up.
The hand that gripped the bow handle also felt the strange material of the silver bow. It felt sandy and wonderful.
Yang Qingqing said, "Activate the fire demon aura in your body until the demon arrow array is lit up."
"Yes." Du Yu instantly drew his bow.
Whoosh ~
As he pinched the bowstring, the tail feathers of the fire arrow quietly pieced together and burned. From the tail to the tip of the arrow, a fire arrow was quickly pieced together.
Yang Qingqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
She had long noticed those bright eyes, but when Du Yu really drew his bow and entered battle mode, his aura changed again.
Her fiery eyes were so beautiful.
While Yang Qingqing was secretly admiring it, Du Yu was trying his best to activate the Fire Demon Breath.
With the guidance of the demon weapon, there was no need for any exquisite control or operation. He just needed to pile up the fire demon aura into the bow.
Whoosh ~
In the next moment, the sunken flame pattern between Du Yu's fingers lit up!
Immediately after, the scarlet fire arrow was wrapped in a layer of dark silver?
Beautiful!
'It's stunningly beautiful!'
Du Yu muttered in his heart. The total amount of demonic aura consumed to shoot such a special arrow was more than three times that of ordinary fire arrows!
WHOOSH!
Du Yu's fingers loosened, and a dark silver fire arrow shot out quickly, nailing into the wall of leaves.
Whoosh ~
Du Yu's eyes lit up!
Silver flames automatically spread out on the leaf wall and slowly spread out. It was as if it wanted to ignite every inch of the leaf wall…
Yang Qingqing supported her chin with one hand and didn't turn around. She only looked at Du Yu's eyes and saw the strange luster.
"Demon weapon, Silverfire."
