Insufficient balance

  "Let's go, we'll eat and chat at the same time." We came to the director's private dining room. At first, I was still a bit reserved and ate slowly, but when I saw Teacher Wen eating like I used to when I had meals, it was simply too elegant.

  Mr. Wen's foot was on the stool, and he was eating hastily, getting food all over his body. Dong Ri looked at me with a embarrassed smile. I heard Mr. Wen's voice beside my ear: "Chang Gong, why aren't you eating? Come on, eat more."

  After hearing Teacher Wen's encouragement, I didn't hold back and started devouring the food like a whirlwind. From this morning till now, I only had some dry rations to eat and was starving. Now it's their turn to be stunned. When Teacher Wen wasn't paying attention, I swept away more than half of the dishes on the table.

  "Wow, you little guy, isn't Lauren starving you or something? You've come to me for balance." Teacher Wen teased.

  Since I've already started eating, I couldn't be polite anymore. After eating my fill, I vaguely replied: "Teacher Wen, if you don't hurry up and eat, your stomach will go hungry."

  "Ah! Winter days eat quickly, he eats too fast or there won't be any left."

  Eating like this, it's like we're in a competition, and after finishing the meal, I think only I'm full. Ms. Wen complained: "It seems that from now on, more food should be prepared, Lao Di has made me a rice bucket."

  "Go back to the wooden house, Teacher Wen said: "Chang Gong, from now on you will live with Dong Ri in the left house. Old Di has asked me to train you for half a year, can you hold on?" I saw a hint of cunning in his eyes. It seems that the future days are not going to be easy. But I also cannot lose face for Teacher Di. I firmly replied: "No problem, I will definitely hold on." In my heart, I secretly thought that with the foundation laid by Big Brother, I can definitely cope."

  We chatted casually, and from the conversation, I learned that Teacher Wen was a Knight of Light, while Dong Ri was a Knight of Earth. Under his golden hair, he still hid the symbol of his half-elf heritage - pointed ears (half-elves were extremely rare, resulting from the combination of humans and elves, possessing both human intelligence and elven talents; in Dong Ri's case, he had a human physique, an elven appearance, and elves were known to be exceptionally handsome, which made me feel inferior). I knew that in terms of talent, he was absolutely no worse than me, only his luck wasn't as good as mine, haha. According to Teacher Wen, Dong Ri's archery skills were inherited from his ancestors and were extremely impressive, making him sigh in admiration.

  I inadvertently said: "Winter days are so good, if you learn some magic and practice it into a magical arrow, the power will be even greater."

  They all fell silent, staring at me with strange eyes, and in Winter's eyes, there was an endless yearning. I asked: "What's wrong? Was what I said incorrect?"

  "Wait, you're absolutely right. If you hadn't come, I was going to ask Dong Ri to go find Old Di and have him teach some magic. Now that you're here, you two can exchange knowledge with each other. As an exchange, I'll also teach you martial skills."

  I smiled and said: "Don't be so serious, Winter Day brothers will definitely not disappoint your and Teacher Di's expectations."

  Starting from the second day, Teacher Wen made me and Dong Ri work out together. Teacher Wen's requirements were very strict, even more so than War Tiger's. If I didn't have a certain foundation, I would have collapsed already. Teacher Wen also praised my physical strength, saying it wasn't like that of a magician. He had no idea that I had been training for two months already.

  Afternoon, I can finally rest. Originally, Teacher Wen was going to teach me about "dòu qì" (a type of internal energy), but I told him that I had already learned some from a friend and didn't want to change. He asked me to demonstrate it for him, but I made an excuse saying that my friend wouldn't let me tell anyone what kind of "dòu qì" it was. Teacher Wen got a bit angry and said he wouldn't bother with me anymore. But the next day, he increased the intensity of my physical training by a lot. I'm almost exhausted to death.

  It's not bad, the Dragon Ascension Technique is indeed a good way to cultivate Qi, I just need to sit for a while and my physical strength can be restored. My magical power seems to have reached a bottleneck, no matter how hard I practice, I won't be able to make progress, but I only feel full. However, now I feel like I have the power to move mountains and fill seas, my magical power is like the Yangtze River, flowing endlessly.

  I taught Dong Ri Guang Xian magic using the same method as Zhan Hu Da Ge, and he picked it up even faster than Zhan Hu Da Ge. I also witnessed his archery skills, which can only be described as terrifying. Within 100 meters, relying on his sharp vision, he could shoot a fly's left wing without hitting its right wing. Wen Laoshi once exaggeratedly said that if Dong Ri looked at it with just one glance, he could absolutely tell the sex of the fly. Dong Ri is a very easy-going person, and in some ways, his personality is similar to mine. Although we haven't known each other for long, we've already become extremely close friends.

  Every evening is the happiest time for us two, because we can go out and play.

  Time flies so fast, I have been in Xuda City for more than a month. On this day, I went out to take a walk with Dongri. As soon as we left the college, someone called Dongri.

  "Onii-chan on a winter day." A soft voice came over.

  I turned back with Dong Ri, and a red-haired girl walked over, possibly one or two years younger than us (I am two months older than Dong Ri). Her big eyes sparkled with water, her long hair flowed down. I poked Dong Ri in the ear and asked: "Is she your girlfriend?"

  His face turned red on a winter's day, and he hastily explained: "It's not like that, just ordinary friends." I teased him: "Really? Doesn't look like it. Hehe"

  At this time, the red-haired girl had already walked up to him and said to Dong Ri: "Dong Ri brother, long time no see! Is teacher Wen too strict? You seem to have lost weight." Wow, she's so concerned about him, yet he still says they're not girlfriend and boyfriend.

  "On a winter day, he muttered: 'Hello, Miss Hualun.'"

  Miss Hua Lun said discontentedly, "Didn't I say so? Don't call me Miss Hua Lun, just call me Hong Xue. Who is this?" Only now did she notice me, am I that insignificant? It's as if I'm air.

  "Hualun, no, Hongxue, he is my friend, a disciple of one of Teacher Wen's friends, studying magic."

  I smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Hualun, I am Chang Gong Wei." She also kindly replied: "Hello, I'm Hongxue Hualun, nice to meet you."

  I said to Dong Ri on a winter day: "Dong Ri, I still have something to do, you chat with Miss Hua Lun, I'll leave first." Before Dong Ri could respond, I quickly slipped away. Haha, giving this kid an opportunity.
