Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Forty-Five Degree Angle

The Animated Armor’s sword was cleaving straight down at you, but its movements were so obvious that you had seen it long before and easily dodged.

However, before you could feel proud, a sudden force of gravity hit your left side and sent your body flying.

Having just crashed to the ground, the Animated Armor’s longsword hacked down once again, forcing you to roll several times on the ground, narrowly escaping.

The Animated Armor continued to press step by step, leaving you with no power to fight back. In no time, your body was covered with wounds, but luckily, you possessed strong healing powers, and the wounds quickly healed.

From the moment you faced the Animated Armor, the middle-aged man had been closely watching you. When he noticed the miraculous healing of your wounds, his eyes, originally showing interest, suddenly burst with countless sparks of excitement, as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Clang!"

Backed into a corner by the Animated Armor, you suddenly grew fierce.

Ignoring the risk of having your hand chopped off, you swung your fist, burning with flames, at the Animated Armor’s descending black longsword.

After a metallic ring, the middle-aged man was astounded to see a slight imprint of a fist on the blade of the Animated Armor’s black longsword, realizing you had used a clever force at the crucial moment.

"Eat another punch from me!"

Considering Lei Xiu’s excessively portly physique, you knew you had to use Divine Power to quickly decide the battle. After blocking the black longsword, you swung your burning fist towards the Animated Armor’s right leg.

"Bang!"

After all, the Animated Armor was just a set of armor. In the face of your Divine Power, it seemed somewhat vulnerable, your punch directly breaking and sending its right leg flying, and the Animated Armor toppled backward due to the loss of its right leg.

After it fell, you leaped up and smashed down on the Animated Armor’s head.

The Animated Armor’s head shattered on impact, and then you saw a blue light emerge from within the Animated Armor. The light condensed into a spherical Light Ball in mid-air, which circled around above your head and then flew into the middle-aged man’s body.

"Not bad, Lei Xiu, you have passed the entrance test. From now on, you are a student of the Offensive Magic Department of the Imperial Academy." The middle-aged man swept his hand, and a badge appeared on your right chest, "This badge represents that you are a student of the Imperial Academy. You have passed the test. Now, go to your dormitory with the person who originally brought you here."

Li Jian walked over to you, nodded at the middle-aged man, and simply said one word to you: "Let’s go."

After defeating the Animated Armor, the flame in your hand extinguished, and you hurried to catch up with Li Jian’s pace, asking excitedly: "Ah-Jian, that Magic Spell you told me earlier really works wonders. Tell me in a bit how to cast the spell that shoots out flames, will you?"

Li Jian did not respond, but the middle-aged man clearly heard your words. After hearing this sentence, his expression was like witnessing a flower blooming on a rock.

After a while, the middle-aged man muttered to himself: "Close Combat Mage, that title hasn’t been mentioned for over a hundred years."

"Hey, Ah-Jian, what’s your Domain of Blood?" Li Jian took you into a very ordinary room with a simple setup; two beds and two old tables.

"I don’t have one." Li Jian’s voice remained cold, but within the iciness, there was a hint of warmth.

"Wow, you’re already a third-year student without a Domain of Blood? That’s so cool."

"You can do it too," Li Jian said indifferently.

"Of course! I’m naturally talented, and there’s no way I’ll be much worse than you. By the way, Ah-Jian, I think you should smile. After all, a smile takes ten years off, right? You look like an old fuddy-duddy right now. Come on, babe, give big daddy a smile." You approached Li Jian, striking a lewd and vulgar pose of a rich peasant.

Li Jian turned his head, completely ignoring you. However, when Li Jian turned away, he found you standing straight against the wall. About two or three minutes later, just as Li Jian was puzzled, your head suddenly hit the wall, but your feet did not move from their spot, forming a perfect triangle with your body, the wall, and the floor.

"Forty-five degrees," you blurted out nonsensically.

Afterwards, there was a silence that lasted over a minute.

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Li Jian couldn’t hold back the excitement in his heart and burst into loud laughter.

Perhaps because he had been repressing his feelings for so long, Li Jian’s laughter brought tears to his eyes.

When Li Jian’s laughter peaked, you grinned at him with a victorious gesture, "Hehe, that’s more like brothers."

The word "brothers" cut Li Jian’s laughter short; he stared blankly at you, looking at this sleazy-looking fatty.

Then you sat down on your own bed with a thump; by the time you arrived, someone had already made the bed.

You looked at Li Jian with a smile on your face, "Ah Jian, how long have you been here?"

"Two years."

For some reason, as long as you asked, he would answer.

Even though Li Jian wasn’t the type to initiate conversations with you, this was quite rare for the usually reticent Li Jian.

"There must be a lot of beauties at the Imperial Academy, right?"

Li Jian stared blankly at you and then shook his head and fell silent.

"Are you saying that the Imperial Academy is filled with ugly girls?"

Li Jian paused momentarily and then nodded.

"No way! But when I entered the Academy, I already encountered two pretty girls. Although both of them had bad tempers," referring to Luo Fei’er and the girl who teased you.

"Just one."

This statement from Li Jian made you feel like you’d plunged to the bottom of the sea, your heart turning cold.

You believed Li Jian’s words and his sense of beauty. If the Imperial Academy was truly a den of dinosaurs as Li Jian described, then the days ahead would be tough.

"And what’s the name of this only beauty?"

"Joyce." When Li Jian said this name, you saw a hint of tenderness and warmth in his eyes.

"Oh."

Hearing it wasn’t Luo Fei’er, you suddenly felt a sense of relief because Luo Fei’er’s looks weren’t much different from that girl’s, proving that Luo Fei’er wasn’t at the Imperial Academy, thus increasing your chances of avoiding her.

Just as Li Jian described, the next day when you and Li Jian arrived at the Academy’s cafeteria for a meal, your eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The entire cafeteria was like a live poultry market!

The meat-eating types, mostly broad and fat, swayed their way through walking and occasionally winked at the handsome little beauties around, greatly diminishing their appetite. The more combative live poultry would sit smack in the middle of the men with their bowls, startling an uproar as if birds scattered in all directions.
