Chapter 185 and 186 expanded!

  For the suction cup pattern made by Xiao Hong, simply from the smoothness of the base pattern and the precision of the magic pattern framework, yes, Xiao Hong is far inferior to Amiro, but what Amiro lacks is the technique of "pattern within a pattern" that Xiao Hong learned from the magic bead.

  He held the magic crystal in his palm, carefully allowing the energy to seep into it. Xiao Hong's face finally showed a relieved and relaxed expression, he had succeeded. Due to the large amount of Thousand Year Ice added previously, the number of uses had also increased greatly, with enough energy for Xiao Hong to use for a good while, about 1000 stocks worth.

  Driven by the suction disk pattern, at this time on Xiao Hong's small arm, a complex energy pattern was formed. Through the power of mobilization, looking at Xiao Hong's palms again, a group of dark blue energy bodies had already appeared.

  Weiwei slightly adjusted her hand towards the scattered pillows on the bedside, and Xiao Hong suddenly controlled the suction cup's wrinkles to gather.

  Bang.

  The next moment, the pillow flew up quickly under precise suction and was caught in Xiao Hong's hand. As long as the force control is in place, picking things up is simple and convenient.

  With this discovery, Xiao Hong's face revealed a small sense of pride, just like a child who had found a new toy to play with.

  Xiao Hong tossed the pillow back onto the bed and slowly raised his arms, palms facing the ceiling of the room, once again activating the suction disk pattern.

  At this time, looking at Xiao Hong, it seemed as if his hands had been equipped with magnets. His body, which was sitting in the chair, suddenly floated into the air, and then his hands were sucked onto the ceiling.

  "It's interesting." Xiao Hong smiled and muttered to himself, at the same time, his feet produced two suction points, and with a slight effort, his feet were also attached to the top of the shed. He looked like a giant spider, stuck to the top of the shed, then awkwardly crawled back and forth on the roof.

  A big living person moving in this way is somewhat strange.

  After the initial adaptation, a few minutes later, Xiao Hong's speed of crawling on the wall was much faster, and he could even use the suction force of the suckers to jump from the top of the shed to the wall.

  This feeling of crawling on the wall makes Xiao Hong feel incredibly wonderful, and the continuous crawling also makes Xiao Hong's playful heart arise.

  Then he looked at Xiao Hong, and from the top of the shed to the front door, after opening the lock, he stuck to the wall and crawled out, starting to move back and forth on the slightly higher wall in the backyard, familiarizing himself with it, and trying to combine his spiritual snake with him, making its agility even more extraordinary.

  After a while, Xiao Hong suddenly felt that it was quite boring for someone to climb back and forth on the wall like this. He glanced at Li Le's room, which had already turned off its lights in the middle of the night.

  His eyes flickered slightly, and Xiao Hong revealed a sly smile. He then crept up to Li Le's room door like a gecko, extremely quietly, and knocked on the door a few times.

  "Who is it?"

  At this time, Li Le was sleeping soundly and heard the continuous knocking on the door. Wearing a red-dotted pajama, Li Le slightly opened his sleepy eyes, rubbed them, and spoke with dissatisfaction in his tone.

  Li Le didn't think much and yawned continuously. He came to the door, opened it, but found that there was nothing outside.

  Li Le, who was half asleep and half awake, saw this scene and was somewhat puzzled. Had he misheard?

  "Hi, Lelie."

  Just as Li Le was about to close the door and continue sleeping, Xiao Hong's head suddenly appeared in front of him from top to bottom without any warning, and loudly called out.

  Lile, who was in a daze, could only see one thing at this time, which was a head appearing in front of him without a body. This extraordinary scene made Lile's eyes widen in surprise.

  "Uh." Li Le only made this sound, his eyelids fluttered, and he fell backwards, fainting on the spot.

  "Hey." Seeing Li Le like this, Xiao Hong was somewhat surprised, his guts were too small.

  It's over, but unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, a head suddenly pops out and shouts loudly, "How many people are there?"

  Xiao Hong didn't dare to slack off, apparently the joke had gone a bit too far. He jumped down from the wall he was leaning against and helped Li Le up, flipped his eyelids over and felt the pulse on his neck, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

  "He must have been scared to sleep." Xiao Hong made such a judgment, and directly threw Li Le back onto the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then returned to his own room.

  After withdrawing the suction cup, he fell asleep on his own.

  Before long, the time arrived at dawn. After tidying up the notes and other things in the room and packing them into his backpack, Xiao Hong came to the front hall and saw Li Le preparing breakfast while talking incessantly.

  "I'm telling you, last night, I actually saw a head appear in front of me, and it even greeted me. My god, I was scared to death." Li Le placed a plate of braised beef on the dining table and said mysteriously to Lin Zi and the others.

  "Alright Li Le, you're being so suspicious and jumpy, I reckon you must be dreaming."

  "Serves you right! Who told you to drag Fang Ting from the clothing store all day, watching horror movies and deceiving that little girl into your arms."

  Lin Zi and others looked disdainful, and with chopsticks in their mouths, they lined up to get rice.

  Li Le was now being told by these people that he couldn't be sure about what had happened the day before, whether it was just a dream or something he had actually seen. As for the appearance of the head, Li Le's mind was foggy and he couldn't have possibly gotten a clear look. Seeing Xiao Hong's hair slightly disheveled as he walked into the front hall, Li Le asked: "Hong Ge, you're always so vigilant, did you notice anything unusual last night? A person's head floating around in the courtyard?"

  Xiao Hong glanced at Li Le slightly, since he didn't recognize him, Xiao Hong naturally didn't plan to acknowledge anything either. He paused his footsteps for a moment and said casually, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

  When Xiao Hong said that, Li Le also felt strange. Could it be that he was really dreaming? But the dream seemed too real.

  "Also, Li Le, how about the things Lou asked you to do?" Xiao Hong continued to ask.

  "Ah, it's almost done. The two houses, the ZeRe family has already decided to sell them to us and is currently handling the transfer procedures. I estimate that it will be done by next week." Li Le replied honestly.

  "How much of the thousand taels I gave you is left?" Xiao Hong asked further.

  "It's tens of thousands, but these days Da Hongmei's business has made a lot of profit." Li Le thought for a moment before answering.

  Xiao Hong nodded slightly upon hearing this. He didn't say anything else, but began to think of his plan in his mind. Xiao Hong's current idea was to constantly expand, not just in terms of management, but also in combat power, because only then would he have a solid foundation.

  Just as Xiao Hong was talking to Li Le, the communication tattoo on his chest suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw a message: "According to the previous contract, the payment of 3,000 gold for the second concert has been transferred to your account, Mei Jie."

  Seeing such information, Xiao Hong was calm, but a flash of light had already passed through his eyes. During this period, due to the purchase of patterns and shops, Xiao Hong had indeed spent a lot of money, and the arrival of the three thousand gold coins was just in time.

  He casually picked up a map of the neighborhood from the table next to him, took a look, and then circled four shops on the map with a red pen.

  "These four houses are the next target, take your time to discuss the acquisition intention, try to get them all down, the price is easy to talk about, but can't be a big fool, once agreed need money come find me. Also, take good care of the ten rabbits in the courtyard." Xiao Hong handed over the marked map to Li Le and instructed.

  He then started eating his rice with his head down, got up and picked up his backpack, and entered the magic car to rush towards the direction of the college.

  In his mind, he had already begun to consider the matter of healing the tattoo. After all, Xiao Hong's hard study was for two purposes: one was to get rid of the tattoo and the other was to heal it.

  It can be said that this time's healing tattoo has basically used up all the skills Xiao Hongping has learned in his life, whether he can succeed or not is on this one move. Therefore, facing such a situation, Xiao Hong, apart from being nervous, also did his best to prepare everything and also had to seize the time to practice the "Internal Take Method".

  As he drove into the Xijin Mowen Academy, Xiao Hong suddenly realized that all the guards in the campus had been withdrawn, leaving only the Bailuo army, appearing two by two, with an extremely relaxed expression.

  Seeing this scene, Xiao Hong's expression didn't show a hint of surprise. He already knew the news that the Temple Knights had arrived. It was estimated that with this move, the power of the Weilin army in Taiwu City would become precarious. Estimated according to Luo Xue Ning's thinking, while giving the Weilin army a heavy blow, she would put all her attention on the Black Shadow.

  "Huh?"

  Just as Xiao Hong was randomly thinking about something in his mind, Xiao Hong's expression suddenly changed.

  Because Xiao Hong suddenly discovered that in front of every large nose curtain in the campus, there were students crowded around.

  Wide-eyed and incredulous, staring intently at the large screen in front of them.

  "How come there are so many people all of a sudden?" Xiao Hong was somewhat perplexed, and immediately lightly slid his hand on the in-car holographic display to sync it with the campus video platform.

  At this time, Xiao Hong could see that on the small screen in front of him, Chai Shuang and a slightly short man were standing together. Through the subtitles, Xiao Hong could accurately see that this short, fair-skinned man was named Lu Qun, a student at Long Qin Magic Academy.

  For such a discovery, Xiao Hong didn't pay much attention to it, he had heard of it before. Chai Shuang had been to Yin Xiao City and trampled on the students there, so naturally they were angry, and then they found Lu Qun to compete with Chai Shuang again.

  Chapter 186: Stripes!

  As for Lu Qun, his status in Longqin Academy is no less than that of Chai Shuang. If Chai Shuang can be considered the "Heavenly Darling" of Xizhen Academy, then Lu Qun can basically be regarded as the "Heavenly Pride".

  This time, the venue for the competition was set in Lecture Hall No. 1. Xiao Hong could clearly see through the small screen that the front row personnel, the principals of both schools, and Luo Xue Ning had all arrived, but Chai Sang's expression seemed slightly stern.

  "Wow, wow, wow, I really didn't expect this. This Lu Qun looks so thin and withered, yet he actually defeated several senior students from Xijin Magic Academy."

  "What's going on, yesterday you didn't see, he also trampled the nearby Wen Shu Mo Yun Academy, and this time Long Qin Mo Yun Academy has already spoken out, to trample all the famous Mo Yun academies in the entire Tai Wu City, and then go back."

  "This is too much, isn't it?"

  "No choice, who let Chai Xue sister be so overbearing before, going to someone's school and stepping on them once, and still wanting to humiliate them thoroughly."

  "It seems that Chai Shuang has met a strong opponent today. If Chai Shuang loses, the reputation of our Xijin Magic Academy will be completely lost, especially since Luo Xuening is here."

  Through the half-closed car window, Xiao Hong vaguely heard the conversations between nearby students, each one as if facing a formidable enemy.

  However, Xiao Hong didn't care at all. In his view, this was a dog-eat-dog fight, and who won or lost had nothing to do with him.

  As for the way to decide who's better... "Compare patterns, Xiao Hong is still very clear about that. It's just using the same materials to create the most powerful battle pattern in the shortest time possible, it's that simple."

  The preciousness of materials used often depends on the scale and identity of participants.

  Similar to Chai Feng, the materials used for this level are mostly those of the fifth grade.

  As both sides were ready, at this moment, Mo Chai and Lu Qun's side had already risen a magic pattern platform, on which were placed the same tools and materials. Sure enough, as Xiao Hong had thought earlier, they were all materials that could be used by a fifth-level apprentice.

  Two more identical magic target dummies rose up at the same time.

  A few seconds later, just as the light in front of them turned green, Biwen also announced the official start. Looking at Lu Qun and Chai Shuang again, they had already turned their heads and started working quickly on the workbench in front of them.

  "Chai Shuang lost." Xiang Yang, leaning on the seat, stared at the screen and muttered to himself. With his strong foundation in analyzing techniques, Xiao Hong had already seen through the outcome from the initial moves of the two players. Chai Shuang was clearly half a beat slower than Lu Qun.

  The first link was slow, and later on, it would only drag more and more, until finally, it might be dragged ten thousand eight thousand miles away.

  "What was that you just said? Did Chai Shuang lose?" Suddenly, Xiao Hong only heard a female voice by his ear, and he slightly turned his head to see a woman with a ponytail staring at him with a fierce expression, her face filled with a hint of anger.

  Xiao Hong's expression flashed with a hint of surprise as he saw this scene, he didn't expect that the girl in front of him had such sharp ears.

  At this time, when the girl questioned Xiao Hong, others also focused their attention here, with strong anger and indignation in their expressions. Obviously, Lu Qun's previous behavior had already made some students of Xijin Magic Academy feel ashamed, and they were just waiting for someone to vent their emotions.

  "Are you saying Chai Feng will lose? Do you have any evidence?"

  "Do you know what Chai Shuang is good at? Sister Chai learned the true transmission from the principal. You don't understand anything, what are you blindly talking about here?"

  "Well, looking at you like this, I suppose you're also a person from Xijin Magic Academy now. Who would have thought that your elbow would bend outward."

  At that time, Xiao Hong just muttered a sentence to himself, and it attracted the questioning of a large group of classmates around him. Most of them were girls, and Xiao Hong didn't think it was worth arguing with them.

  "Chai Shuang's completion of the tattoo will not be less than eight minutes, while Lu Qun should be around seven minutes and fifty seconds." Xiao Hong responded with a slightly helpless expression in the face of a large crowd of questioning voices.

  "Who do you think you are? Do you think you're some kind of idol, Xiang Cang? Hmph!" A girl gave Xiao Hong a cold glance and sneered.

  However, just as the girl had finished saying this, looking at the screen again, Chai Shuang had already clearly started to fall behind. Lu Qun's expression was slightly complacent and disdainful, having already entered the activation phase, while Chai Shuang was only just injecting the magic pattern liquid into the final stage.

  Such a scene, people with discerning eyes can already see who is stronger and who is weaker.

  But these students surrounding the light screen didn't dare to believe this situation, and they comforted themselves: "Don't worry, Chai Shuang will instantly overtake in the next round."

  Looking at Chai Feng, a thin layer of crystal clear sweat had already seeped out on his forehead, and his expression was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that Lu Qun would hide his true strength in the previous trials, nor did he expect that he himself would fall far behind.

  7 minutes 51 seconds.

  Lu Qun had already completed the fifth-level combat rune on his hand, and after activating it, he fired a dark red energy bullet at the magic rune target next to him. The data given by the magic rune target was: Node.

  On the other hand, Chai Feng was still in the midst of activating his magic, and in his heart, he felt both ashamed and annoyed. As it turned out, this was her forte, and even the professors at Xijin Magic Academy were no match for her. He just hadn't expected that this unassuming guy would turn out to be so formidable.

  "Damn it." Chai Shuang couldn't help but utter such a sound in her heart.

  "Weren't you very arrogant before? What's wrong now? You're slow as a turtle, but I'll remind you that being late by one second requires adding some power value to make up for it." Lu Qun crossed his arms and looked at Chai Shuang with interest, his expression filled with the same arrogance and self-conceit as Chai Shuang.

  Eight minutes and ten seconds later, Chai Shuang finally completed the battle pattern, turned around to face the magic target, and fired an energy body with a displayed power value of 519 points.

  Chai Frost was defeated, whether it was the speed of making patterns or the power of fighting patterns, both were defeated.

  "With such a small ability, you dare to go to Longqin Academy and boast, it's ridiculous. Lu Qun continued to say, with contempt in his expression: "However, don't think that I will let Taowu City off so easily, rest assured that I will trample all the students of Taowu City, not a single one will be spared."

  Upon hearing this, Chai Sang's face had already turned extremely ugly. He was very clear that this failure for the Xijin Academy would be absolutely humiliating. Who would have thought that Longqin Academy would progress so quickly?

  In fact, Chaisang didn't think that the problem wasn't that his opponents were progressing too quickly, but rather that Seijin Academy was regressing. The reason for this was that every year, most of the spots were allocated to the children of influential families, which clearly wasn't as effective in attracting talent as it had been in the past.

  Xiao Hong is not the best example?

  He looked at Xiao Hong, who was sitting in the carriage with a relaxed expression, and glanced at the students who had just been in front of him, vowing to defeat him. They were all stunned on the spot, but he just smiled lightly and left directly.

  "Let's try it again!" Chai Shuang said somewhat discontentedly, and then asked.

  "You're not even worthy." Lu Qun responded in a low voice, then shifted his gaze to the audience below: "I heard that there's another student from Ta Wu City who's quite impressive. I think I'll take care of him too. In my opinion, someone who doesn't even dare to report their name isn't anything special."

  At this moment, Muxi'er was holding a ball and sitting in the auditorium, but she had already fallen asleep. They didn't care about Chai Shuang being trampled on, but when they heard Lu Qun say "a certain student from the branch school" with contempt and ridicule, a flash of murderous intent suddenly appeared on Muxi'er's face!

  Women are like this, in love, as long as they hear someone say something wrong about their partner, they will show their fierce side.

  Lu Xue Ning, who was standing beside him, also slightly changed her expression upon hearing this. She naturally knew that Xiao Hong was a student from the branch school, and she also knew that Lu Qun's high-profile behavior was not only to show off, but also to bring him into his own sights, so that he could be promoted and join the army.

  Of course, if Lu Qun didn't mention a certain student from the branch school, everything would be easy to say, but such blatant humiliation was too frivolous and arrogant in Luo Xue Ning's opinion.

  Xiao Hong had already turned off the image watermark and didn't know about Lu Qun's provocation. He parked his car in the dormitory courtyard and rushed to the classroom. By now, the first class was over. When Xiao Hong entered the classroom, he saw that the students from the branch school were still chatting with each other, self-absorbed. This scene was nothing new to Xiao Hong.

  As he arrived at his own seat, Xiao He's expression suddenly changed slightly. On his desk, a neatly wrapped package was placed in front of him, with the sender's address being Da Hong Mei Zhi Xing.

  It made Xiao Hong feel somewhat strange, sending it from his own home to school?

  He carefully picked up the package and shook it gently, feeling light and not like it contained any hazardous materials. When he opened it, Xiao Hong's expression changed suddenly, followed by a sweet smile spreading across his face.

  Inside was a black leather jacket, light blue shirt and jeans, as well as a tie. On top of these brand new clothes, there was also a small note: "I and Qiū Qiū have already broken through to the fourth level of taking disciples, in just a few days we'll be at the fifth level, isn't it awesome?" The note also had a drawing of a ghost face sticking out its tongue, clearly written in Mù Xī ér's handwriting.

  Seeing such a note, Xiao Hong's smile grew even thicker, and his heart was filled with a faint warmth. In the past, he didn't really care about his clothes, but after having Mu Xi'er, it was different. He carefully put the note in his pocket and took another sneak peek at his new clothes before carefully placing Na's bag aside and preparing for class.
