The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Toudou Touhua!?" When he heard Lin Xuan say Touhua's name, Ikki Kurogane exclaimed. Zhu Shizuku and Alice might not know it when they just entered school, but Ikki Kurogane, who had been in Pojun Academy for a year, knew clearly what this name meant.

　"I didn't expect you to know that [Raikiri] Toudou Daohua."

　"It's her!?" Zhu Shizuku raised her eyebrows and said in surprise. Obviously, as the eldest daughter of the Kurogane family, she also knew some information about Daohua.

　"Well, I originally wanted to introduce her to you, but she had something else to do, so she left first." Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly.

　"Okay, it's getting late, let's go eat first."

　-

　After returning to the dormitory, before Lin Xuan had time to sit down and rest, Stella asked anxiously.

　"What exactly was it that you wanted to tell me?"

　"I didn't tell you before in order to train you to concentrate your strength. Now is not the time." Looking at Stella's anxious look, Lin Xuan half-closed his eyes and said mysteriously.

　"What's the matter?" Lin Xuan's words stunned Stella.

　"Stella, do you really understand your own strength?" Looking at Stella, Lin Xuan opened his half-closed eyes and asked seriously.

　“My own strength, of course I—” Lin Xuan interrupted Stella before she finished speaking.

　"Do you really understand?"

　"My power?" Lin Xuan's two questions made Stella waver. She looked at her hands blankly, as if thinking about the power that Lin Xuan mentioned.

　"You have always thought that your special ability is to control fire, but is your special ability really just to control fire?" Looking at Stella's confused look, Lin Xuan continued to ask.

　"It seems that you have no idea at all. Let me help you." Lin Xuan's voice had just fallen when a terrifying aura gushed out from his body, and he pressed down hard on Stella.

　"Hmm--" Lin Xuan's sudden suppression of his aura made Stella very uncomfortable. Moreover, Lin Xuan's aura was so strong that Stella didn't know how to resist it. It was as if she was a tiny ant in front of it and could only bow her head in submission.

　But just when the thought of surrender emerged in Stella's mind, she heard a roar in her soul. The roar seemed to be rebuking her weakness and told her not to bow her head.

　At this time, Stella suddenly came to her senses.

　Yes, when did I become so weak that I even thought about bowing my head.

　Thinking of this, Stella forcibly resisted Lin Xuan's momentum that was constantly oppressing her, and looked at Lin Xuan with difficulty.

　Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

Chapter 127 Awakening

　Looking at Stella who was struggling to hold on under his power, Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

　'It seems that the hidden power is about to emerge, but it's not enough yet. It seems that I have to get serious. I hope she can hold on.' Thinking silently in his heart, Lin Xuan also began to get serious.

　If the aura that Lin Xuan released towards Stella before was pure, which only gave people a sense of oppression, magnified the weakness in their spirit, and made people unable to help but bow their heads to him, then the aura he released towards Stella now was not just giving people a sense of oppression.

　The aura of murderous intent and oppression pressed towards Stella, making her feel that the person standing in front of her was no longer her roommate, but a terrifying beast with its bloody mouth opened wide, as if her life and death was just a matter of the other party's thoughts.

　The suffocating feeling brought by fear continued to torture Stella, making her feel that her spirit was on the verge of breaking. She felt that her roommate was so strange, and the cold eyes that seemed to freeze her soul made her feel colder than ever before.

　Just when Stella was about to give up, a surge of heat suddenly surged from her soul, warming her cold soul again. Immediately afterwards, a familiar roar sounded from the depths of her soul.

　As the roar from the depths of her soul sounded, Stella felt a surge of energy that was beyond her control surging from her body, counteracting the energy released by Lin Xuan.

　"Is she starting to wake up?" Lin Xuan murmured, feeling the aura released by Stella.

　While muttering, Lin Xuan began to release his own momentum more crazily. As Lin Xuan's strength rose, the momentum emanating from Stella also continued to rise.

　However, compared to Lin Xuan's aura that was compressed in the room, Stella's aura was released completely unscrupulously. Although it was actually suppressed by Lin Xuan, it still leaked out of the dormitory. All of a sudden, several dormitories around Lin Xuan's dormitory felt it. Although not many, it scared the students in those dormitories a lot.

　On the other hand, Lin Xuan seemed to have noticed this matter. He knew that he couldn't continue, otherwise the matter would become a big deal, so he spoke to Stella.

　"Stella, hold back your momentum. If you continue like this, you'll attract all the students in the dormitory."

　But Lin Xuan's words were met with Stella's panicked words, "I, I can't control that momentum~~~"

　At this time, Lin Xuan remembered that the aura on Stella's body was forced out by him and was not something she could control at all.

　"Oh~~~ I'm sorry, Stella." As he said that, Lin Xuan suddenly took a step forward and rushed in front of Stella.

　"Eh!?" Stella was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Xuan rushing towards her, but before she could react, her consciousness fell into darkness.

　Looking at Stella who fell in his arms, Lin Xuan sighed, but at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly glanced outside the door. Although he did not deliberately release his perception, Lin Xuan could still feel several people with magic fluctuations coming to the door of his dormitory.

　"It seems that I have to explain it later." As he said that, Lin Xuan put Stella on his bed first and waited for the knock on the door.

　As expected, within two minutes, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

　"I'm coming." After answering, Lin Xuan got up and opened the door.

　As soon as he opened the dormitory door, Lin Xuan saw a lot of students standing outside. He found a reason to explain to those students, then expressed his apology before letting them leave.

　Not long after those students left, Stella showed signs of waking up.

　"Hmm~~~~" A faint moan came from Stella's mouth, and soon after, Stella's tightly closed eyelids began to tremble slightly.

　It was about two minutes later that Stella finally woke up.

　"Hmm~~What happened just now." Covering the back of her neck, Stella got up from Lin Xuan's bed in a daze. At this time, she began to recall her memories before she fell into a coma bit by bit.

　"It was Lin Xuan who knocked me out!?" Stella exclaimed after she recalled all the memories before she fell into coma. Then, she began to look for Lin Xuan. In fact, she didn't need to look for him. Lin Xuan was sitting on a chair not far from the bed, with his legs crossed, reading a book.

　"Awake~~~" Lin Xuan murmured, closed the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Stella.

　"Now, you should understand that your own strength is not what you imagined."

　"I think it's a little clearer now." Stella clenched her fists and said seriously.

　"Now that you have some clarity, you must fully understand what your own strength is and fully tap into it. Don't be like you were before, guarding a mountain of gold but only seeing the gold on the surface and ignoring the more valuable gold mines within.

　"I understand. This time, I will definitely dig out all the power hidden underneath." Stella said confidently, sweeping away the depression caused by seeing Daohua fighting, and regained her fighting spirit.

　"It's good to have such enthusiasm." As he said that, Lin Xuan was about to get up from the chair, but at this moment, Stella suddenly spoke.

　"Hey - Lin Xuan."

　"what happened?"

　"You - forget it, it's nothing." Stella, who was about to say something, suddenly changed her words after pondering for a while, and said with an indifferent smile.

　"Yeah." Looking at Stella's expression, Lin Xuan responded and stood up from his chair. In fact, Lin Xuan could probably guess what Stella wanted to ask. It was nothing more than the thick murderous intent mixed in with the terrifying aura he had released earlier.

　Things like momentum will vary depending on the owner, but these things can be strengthened through different exercises. The same goes for murderous intent or murderous aura. However, the training of this thing is both simple and difficult, because it can only be trained through killing. Although the training of this thing also requires some methods, in the end, the more you kill, the stronger the murderous intent or murderous aura will be.

　As a student, how could Lin Xuan have such a terrifying murderous intent?

　Just as Lin Xuan had imagined, Stella wanted to ask this very question. But when she finally tried to ask it, she found it stuck in her throat, unable to utter it. Stella knew why. If Lin Xuan could give her the answer she wanted, it would be fine. But if he gave her a disappointing answer, how would she face him? So, in the end, Stella simply spoke up and stopped asking.

　"Go to bed early, you still have classes in the evening." After saying that, Lin Xuan took out his clothes from the closet and walked towards the bathroom.

　"Um--"

Chapter 128: The First Battle

　In the bathroom, Lin Xuan was soaking quietly in the water.

　He was still thinking about Stella's look as if she wanted to ask him something but hesitated to speak.

　In fact, Lin Xuan could have completely avoided using such strong murderous intent to stimulate Stella's true power that had not yet awakened, but Lin Xuan still used it, because Lin Xuan knew that Stella would know his true identity sooner or later. Instead of knowing it all at once, it would be better to give her some preparation now so that she would be more likely to accept it later.

　"Next--" Lin Xuan stood up from the bathtub.

　"——Not only do we need to train Stella, but we also need to speed up the progress of our protagonist. I want him to become a demon before the competition, in my hands."

　"Don't let me down~~~~ Kurogane Ikki."

　-

　The next day, Stella began to study the power dormant in her body. Because she had been awakened by Lin Xuan's stimulation, Stella easily discovered the 31 power that had never been discovered by her.

　Whenever Stella tried to awaken that power, she couldn't help but think of the terrifying murderous intent that Lin Xuan released last night, and his eyes that were so cold that they seemed to be able to freeze the soul.

　This is not because Lin Xuan's stimulation of Stella that day left an indelible psychological shadow in her heart.

　Stella was just curious about what kind of experience would make Lin Xuan's aura mixed with such terrifying murderous intent, and what kind of experience would make Lin Xuan's eyes become so cold.

　If it weren't for yesterday's experience, Stella would not have known that a person's eyes could be so cold.

　"What kind of person is he? Do I really understand him?" Stella murmured, stopping her training.

　-

　Because of the selection competition, all afternoon classes were cancelled and used as time for the selection competition. After the first day of competition, many people had already won their first victory in this selection competition, but at the same time, there were also many people whose first battle had not yet begun, such as Lin Xuan.

　Lin Xuan's first match was scheduled for 1:30 this afternoon, which was considered a relatively early match. However, because it was between the top freshman of the previous year and the second-best freshman of this year, the match became even more interesting.

　When Lin Xuan and Kirihara Shizuya came on stage, the audience immediately heard intoxicated screams. However, most of these screams were for Kirihara. After all, he was the top student of the previous session, and his accumulated popularity was not comparable to that of Lin Xuan, a freshman who had just enrolled.

　`

　"Oh, oh, oh, it's no wonder that we're from the same background. We're so popular with so many women." While the audience was buzzing, the student in charge of broadcasting the game also said excitedly.

　Elsewhere, in a sparsely populated area of ​​the auditorium, two voices, one large and one small, were discussing the two people on the training field, or rather, one of them. Those two figures were none other than the chairman, Shinguji Kurono, and the instructor who was supposed to be commentating on the match, Nishimiya Nene.

　"You guy, weren't I asking you to be responsible for explaining the battle? Why are you here?" Shinguji Kurono asked, frowning as he looked at Nishimiya Ningyin who was lying on the railing in front of him.

　"Well~~~~Don't worry about these details~~~Xiao Hei~~~~" Nishimiya Ningyin didn't care about Shinguji Kurono's questioning at all, and replied casually.

　"I'm really curious about the kid on the field that you care about~~~~" As she spoke, the playful look on Xigong Ningyin's face faded a lot.

　"After all, there aren't many children you care about so much~~~~"

　"Have you also discovered that there is something wrong with him?" Looking at Lin Xuan standing on the training ground, Shinguji Kurono said.

　"Ah, after watching his mock battle the other day, I went to look up his information. Everything seemed normal, but he gave me a weird feeling~~~~I couldn't put my finger on what was so weird~~~"

　"It seems we have the same idea. Even though I have no evidence, I have a feeling this student isn't as simple as we thought."

　While the two were talking, the game was finally about to begin.

　After Lin Xuan and Tong Yuan each summoned their own inherent spiritual equipment, they waited for the gunshot to start the game.

　"Today, let me teach you what respect means." Holding up the bow named [Oborozuki] in his hand, Kirihara Shizuya smiled cruelly at Lin Xuan.

　However, before Lin Xuan could reply, the gunshot for the game had already sounded.
