Burning Sun Golden Crow, Burning Sun Golden Crow...
Du Yu, whose whole body was burning hot, felt his mind a bit muddled by the heat.
Although he studied in a regular school, in a world where Demon Spirit culture thrived, the fundamental education never lacked subjects related to Demon Beasts.
Even from elementary to high school, schools specifically offered Martial Arts courses, ensuring that before the door of awakening was entirely closed at the end of adolescence, Great Xia would not give up laying a solid foundation for any child.
All preparations were made so the children could become part of that 30%.
Du Yu vaguely remembered, in the last two weeks of his college entrance exam sprint, he seemed to have read the story of the Golden Crow Race, where was it, where...
"Wow! A miracle, simply a miracle!"
"Wuh~ Mom, Mom where are you?" The crowd was either cheering or crying, endless Thousand Paper Cranes were being held in the arms of the ecstatic people or scattered into the air, while the traffic police loudly maintained order at the scene.
In this display of a myriad of life forms, it seemed only Du Yu was still.
He lay limp in the ocean of Thousand Paper Cranes, his whole body sunk in, with only his face exposed, gazing at the azure sky.
Yes, I remember now!
There was a spark in Du Yu's eyes, the Ancient Golden Crow Race!
An obscure piece of knowledge, the mysterious Golden Crow Race is extremely rare, known to the world as auspicious divine birds.
Over the centuries, the Golden Crow Race has left many legendary stories across Great Xia.
It is said they rescue those lost in the Otherworld, granting people light and warmth, guiding them back home.
"Are you, okay?" In his mind, a little girl timidly asked.
Before Du Yu could respond, he felt his vision black out, the azure sky vanished, replaced by endless void and a floating, phantom-like figure in front of him.
The small body's outline was rather phantom-like, rendered in transparent lines.
Her only color from head to toe was those big orange eyes, remarkably reminiscent of a beautiful sunset.
Pure, and beautiful.
Du Yu tried to calm his emotions, taking a deep breath.
This bizarre Otherworld time and again was challenging his understanding of the world, perhaps he should have long been used to it?
But... the little girl?
Wasn't it supposed to be the legendary auspicious Golden Crow Race? Yet her charmingly cute appearance matched well with her soft, sweet voice.
He cautiously asked, "Are you from the legendary Golden Crow Race? What do you want to do?"
The little girl's voice was intermittent, seemingly struggling: "I enter you, body, to recuperate."
"If you're hurt, I can find a Demon Pet Doctor for you..."
"No, no need!"
Before finishing the sentence, the little girl anxiously interrupted, "Living beings, dangerous, eat me."
With that, the little girl looked pitiful, her large orange eyes gazing at Du Yu imploringly: "Don't tell, anyone."
Du Yu was at a loss: "But I'm just an ordinary person, how can I help you?"
"No, you can."
"Oh?" Du Yu thought with delight, could it be that I have the potential to awaken?
He was just 17 this year, fitting the age for awakening.
"Don't, drive me away. I can, help you, with cultivation, is that okay?" The little girl's sniffling voice, with a soft, innocent tone, made Du Yu feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Humans are indeed interesting.
Life is already tough, yet one cannot bear to see others in distress.
"Okay, okay." Du Yu nodded repeatedly, "So how should I help you?
"You are purebred. Purebred, rare."
Du Yu: ???
Did she say I am purebred?
What does that mean, could it be everyone else is a mixed breed?
Uh... whatever, it's not me being scolded anyway.
"Purebred, fire." The little girl lowered her head, probing towards Du Yu's chest.
"Hm?" Du Yu dared not move, watching the little thing burrow into his chest.
Phew~
The void disappeared quietly.
Before Du Yu's eyes, the azure sky reappeared, and the noisy sounds of the crowd also surged into his ears.
So magical, was I just dragged into some kind of mental world?
"Burning Sun, Little Fen Yang?" Du Yu tried calling in his mind, "I am willing to help, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
"I, fought a big tree. I couldn't beat it."
Du Yu: "..."
The terrifying method of escape from Little Fen Yang, how strong must that tree have been to defeat her?
The more Du Yu thought, the more worried he became, if the enemy came for him, wouldn't that mean I'm done for too?
Twice he had taken the college entrance exams, Du Yu was almost exhausted from the sprint, he didn't want to go to another test site!
Du Yu: "What tree? Where is it? Trees shouldn't walk around, right?"
"Mm-hmm, they don't. It tied me, wanted to eat me. I peeled its bark and ran."
Du Yu would rather believe it was a world-shattering battle, but coming from Little Fen Yang's mouth, it sounded like child's play...
"I used the bark, turned into many birds, flew everywhere. Finally found, purebred, fire, you."
For a moment, Du Yu's mind began to race.
This world has a total of six Elemental Attributes, which are: Wind, Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, and Wood.
When Demon Tamers awaken, their elemental attributes unlock with them.
Demon Tamers themselves can't release wind, fire, thunder. They can only sign contracts with Demon Beasts, nurturing powerful Demon Pets to establish their foothold.
And whatever Elemental Attribute a Demon Tamer unlocks determines the type of Demon Pet they can contract with.
