The day after the internship task ended, everyone had to set off on their journey back.

Although the time spent with the Warblade Mercenary Group was not long, these mercenaries had been very patient in teaching them. Everyone was very grateful and respectful towards them, and was quite reluctant to part ways.

After returning to the academy, the team members also had to say their temporary goodbyes, as the long break for second-year students was about to begin.

Before parting, Terry found Luo Feng: "Captain..."

Luo Feng interrupted him: "Hehe, the Falcon Team has been disbanded. I am no longer your captain, Terry. You can just call me by my name."

"I guess I'm a bit used to it." Terry rubbed his nose. "Alright, Luo Feng, there's something I need to tell you. Actually, I was quite annoyed with you before, but of course, that was only before. You know, because you once humiliated our class badly. But now I realize that you are a really nice person and a great leader. No wonder Class 8 is so full of vitality under your leadership. So, if possible, I hope we can become friends."

At this point, Terry extended his hand.

Luo Feng did not hesitate and shook his hand: "When I saw you willing to sacrifice yourself for the team, I already considered you a friend!"

"Is that so? Thank you!" Terry paused and then added, "However, from the perspective of our class, I will still compete with you in the future!"

"As long as it's not malicious competition, I welcome it anytime!"

The two smiled at each other and went their separate ways.

Aaron interjected from the side: "Hey, congratulations, you've lost an enemy and gained a friend!"

Luo Feng smiled: "Of course, the more friends, the better. And Terry is a very straightforward person, I like him a lot!"

This internship task took up a lot of training time, but Luo Feng felt that he had gained a lot. The survival and hunting skills in the wilderness, the ability to unite and command a team, the challenges of the various professions of a freelancer, and the friendships formed were all valuable experiences that contributed to his growth. These things were a kind of wealth that could not be obtained by merely focusing on training, but were also very important for a person.

Upon returning to Lucia's house, Luo Feng took out the magic seal scroll and handed it to the beautiful president: "Sister Lucia, luckily, the magic scroll wasn't used during the internship task, hehe."

However, Lucia did not take it: "You keep it. At your current stage, it might still be useful. It has no use for me."

Compared to her abilities, the magic scroll indeed had a negligible effect. Luo Feng said, "Sister Lucia, you can sell it. Magic scrolls are very expensive, and even if you resell it, you can still get a good amount of money."

"I find it troublesome!" The beautiful president gave a domineering reason, leaving Luo Feng speechless.

Being rich is just that任性 (reckless)!

Understanding Lucia's personality, the current beautiful president would definitely not take back the scroll, so Luo Feng did not say anything more and put it away.

Although the internship task took some time, Luo Feng's training speed did not slow down much compared to usual. Lucia had obtained a batch of rare spirit liquid materials, and the several bone-washing sessions during the holiday greatly benefited Luo Feng, allowing him to quickly break through to the third stage of magic energy.

This holiday, he did not see Joanna. According to the beautiful president, she was busy with work and did not return to Victoria City. Luo Feng missed her a bit.

The holiday was very peaceful, with nothing particularly noteworthy happening. He spent each day focusing on his training.

In the underground training ground of Lucia's house, Luo Feng was surrounded by surging aura, which surged like a river, rising and falling for nearly ten minutes before finally subsiding.

Third stage of magic energy!

Luo Feng opened his eyes, not overly excited, as his aura had upgraded very quickly, unlike others who would be extremely excited with each breakthrough.

However, his body suddenly trembled as if struck by an electric current.

Luo Feng was momentarily stunned, then a look of joy appeared on his face. This was another message from the soul ring.

Luo Feng was very eager to unravel the mystery of the old madmen who had made him rise from the ashes, so he had always been looking forward to the soul ring's reactions. However, these old madmen clearly did not want Luo Feng to know the secret so soon, so the activated message was still unrelated to their identity and background.

However, it was certain that any information from the soul ring was useful to Luo Feng, and this time was no exception.

It was about a special usage method of the spirit nucleus.

The spirit nucleus had just been born and was not yet powerful enough for this method to be applicable.

But now, after reaching the third stage, Luo Feng's dormant magic energy and the spirit nucleus had both strengthened, meeting the conditions for learning.

The spirit nucleus could actually be used like this!

If this function was real, then in certain aspects, wouldn't I be on par with some of the special races on the continent?

Luo Feng was very surprised. If someone else had told him this, he would not have believed it, but since this information was left by the old madmen, who had created this unique cultivation method and guided his path, Luo Feng did not doubt it.

However, knowing the function of the spirit nucleus was not enough; he still needed to learn the basics of using it. The old madmen did not have enough time to teach him this, so he would have to seek help from the academy's mentors.

Fortunately, the new semester was about to start, and he was really looking forward to it!

A few days later, the new semester began.

When Luo Feng stood at the gates of the Starry Sky Academy again, he felt a bit nostalgic.

It was the third year. Since entering the academy, he had quickly transformed from a freshman to a senior.

At this moment, a powerful force came from behind, thick and blunt, clearly of the earth element.

The sudden attack caught Luo Feng off guard, and he instinctively reacted, instantly boosting his aura. He then turned and struck with a palm, using the spirit nucleus to amplify the dormant magic energy of various elements.

"Bang!"

The attack landed solidly, and a figure flew back like a cannonball, finally stopping. It was a burly student, whom Luo Feng recognized as Terry from the same grade and the same Falcon Team during the internship task.

Now, their relationship was very good, and they did not look at each other unfavorably due to the enmity between their classes. Seeing Terry being sent flying, Luo Feng quickly retracted his aura and ran over: "Ah, Terry, are you okay?"

His magic energy had already reached the third stage, and the dormant magic energy he could borrow had grown significantly. In the heat of the moment, he had used such strong force, and Luo Feng was very worried that he might have injured Terry.

"Rofeng, I'm fine!" Terry stuck out his tongue and smiled bitterly. "I thought I had improved a lot during the holiday and wanted to test myself against you. I didn't expect you to have improved even faster. Rofeng, your training speed is really impressive!"

From the exchange, Terry clearly felt that Luo Feng was now even stronger than during the internship task. Not only had his magic energy stage increased, but his aura had become even more dominant. It was hard to believe that such a powerful aura could come from a non-elemental martial artist.

Terry did not seem to be injured, and Luo Feng noticed that the ground beneath his feet had cracked, spreading like a spider web. This was not due to Terry's weight.

Luo Feng saw the secret: "Terry, you're not bad either. Your earth aura is only at the second stage, but you've already started to master the technique of earth conduction!"

Earth aura is known for its strong defense, which is evident in many aspects, such as earth shields and earth walls. Earth conduction is a more advanced defensive technique, allowing earth martial artists to transfer the impact they receive to the ground, reducing the damage they take. Seeing that Terry had made some progress, Luo Feng was very pleased for him.

Terry was a very open person, and the frustration from his defeat quickly faded. He said proudly, "Hehe, this was my biggest achievement during the holiday. It's a pity I didn't learn it during the internship task; otherwise, it could have reduced your pressure and maybe even improved our team's ranking."

Luo Feng smiled, "Hehe, don't be disappointed. We might have the chance to team up again in the future!"

"You're right, Rofeng. I really hope to fight alongside you again. It's not easy to find a captain as excellent as you!"

"..."

The two chatted until they reached the entrance of the teaching building, then each returned to their respective classes.

Terry's test attack, while Luo Feng still had the upper hand, also gave him a warning.

As magic energy increased, the advantages of the elemental attributes began to show. Terry's earth conduction was one example. His opponents would become increasingly powerful due to the application of their elemental attributes. Encountering some more formidable opponents, relying solely on the endurance provided by the borrowed dormant magic energy would not be enough. He needed to learn some new techniques to compensate for the lack of elemental attributes in his aura. The special usage method of the spirit nucleus was like a timely rain, and mastering it was a must to avoid falling behind.

The first two classes of the new semester were as usual, with the homeroom teacher Vernon giving some encouraging words, followed by a general cultivation course. The third class was the start of elective courses.

Aaron was still accustomed to attending various elective courses with him. At the beginning, Luo Feng was worried that attending certain unsuitable elective courses would slow down Aaron's cultivation progress, but after two years, Aaron's aura had also improved rapidly, which puzzled Luo Feng, and he no longer tried to persuade him.

However, this elective course was not suitable for Aaron. In this world, there was only one Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique, and only he, who had cultivated it, could attend the class with such an identity.

So after the second class, Luo Feng said, "Aaron, I need to attend a very special elective course. You can find a more suitable course to study on your own and we can meet up for the later elective courses."

"What kind of elective course could be more special than the killing technique course?" Aaron said unhappily. "Didn't you also not let me attend the killing technique course back then? But later, I also mastered the killing technique. Don't look down on me."

"But this course is even more special than the killing technique, so I think it's better if I go alone." Luo Feng said, then used his speed technique to avoid Aaron's纠缠 (entanglement) and ran off.

However, Aaron was a very curious person, and the more mysterious Luo Feng was, the more he wanted to find out.

"Hmph, Rofeng, I want to see what you're up to."
