Dark Star Field [Interstellar]

〖Only your surname is my enemy. --"Romeo and Juliet"〗

※※※

In the silent darkness, Xue Yelai stood still, listening with bated breath.The five fingers of the right hand are slightly bent towards the palm, as if they are holding a floating sphere in the void.

In the corner of the wall opposite him, there was a black shadow that could hardly be distinguished with the naked eye silently, like a silent beast.

This confrontation has been stalemate for some time.Xue Yelai estimated the time in his mind, this round was probably coming to an end soon.

The black shadow seemed to have sensed Xue Yelai's distraction, and made a movement in an instant, as fast as a flying arrow, and attacked Xue Yelai.

Xue Yelai's clasped palm suddenly glowed red, and a phantom crabapple bloomed in the darkness.The light only flashes and then dims, the dazzling red slowly disappears into the deep black, with a lingering coquettishness.

The opponent's offensive stopped abruptly within a few feet, his body froze for a few seconds, and he fell to the ground slumped.

Xue Yelai breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to relax his mental power suppression on the other party.He knew that as long as he was not careful, his end would be the same as the last unlucky ghost who entered here, lying in the hospital miserably.

"It's time." The electronic voice sounded, and the lights in the room were brightly lit.

Xue Yelai retreated outside the safety line.The screen door closed in front of him, sealing off the room he had just been in.

Through the transparent wall, Xue Yelai carefully looked at the person inside.The other party curled up on the ground, the muscles all over his body tensed and trembling.

Xue Yelai was half glad and half afraid.The opponent's explosive power was astonishingly strong. If his reaction was a second slower, he would be the one who fell on the ground now.

"Yelai, are you injured?" The mentor who was waiting outside stepped forward, his expression looked more terrified than Xue Yelai.

After confirming that Xue Yelai was safe and sound, the instructor went over to check the condition of the person in the room. "Nerve-mediated syncope. Being hit head-on by your mental power at such a close distance is enough for him."

"Is he okay?" Xue Yelai was a little worried, "He moved too fast just now, and I didn't have time to adjust the attack power."

"Don't worry, his physique is not ordinary." The instructor smiled, "This guy is the strongest fighter I have seen in the past few decades. But you, you must be careful."

Xue Yelai nodded, his eyes fixed on the face of the man inside.A nice face, but sickly pale.

"poplar".Xue Yelai firmly remembered that person's code name.

On the way to the rest area, many young people wearing the same uniform as Xue Yelai walked in twos and threes.They are all candidates for this year's sage selection exam, and they come from various star fields in the empire.

Xue Yelai put his hands in his pockets to think about something, and bumped into his back unexpectedly.

"Boy, can you walk?" The person who was hit turned around and scolded.

"Sorry." Xue Yelai was careless, and there was no apology in his tone.

Another candidate next to him suddenly interrupted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you." He bowed to Xue Yelai as he spoke, and dragged his companions away quickly.

Their conversation whispered into Xue Yelai's ears:

"I said, why are you so cowardly? That kid is just a newcomer like us!"

"Idiot! Didn't you see the badge tattoo on the back of his hand? He belongs to the Xue family!"

"........."

At the end of the corridor is a lounge open only to nobles.Xue Yelai didn't swipe his card, just walked in without squinting.

Several people turned their heads.When they saw who came in, they turned their faces back in unison, their eyes full of awe.

In this place, Xue Yelai only needs to brush his face.Among the noble children of the entire Star Domain Empire, almost everyone knows this Mr. Xue.Not only because of his outstanding appearance, but also because of his prominent family background.

The powerful Xue family, the most powerful family of sages in the history of the Star Empire, possesses a spiritual talent that is difficult for others to match.There are even rumors that the Xue family is the real controller of the Star Empire, and the emperor is just a puppet of the Xue family.

As soon as Xue Yelai sat down, Cao Ge, who is also a nobleman, came over enthusiastically: "Yelai, how is your exam?"

"It's not going well." Xue Yelai untied his headband and let his dazzling red long hair spread out. "I encountered a stubble and refused to cooperate with me. Where's yours?"

"Dead." Cao Ge spread his hands lightly, "I didn't expect that guy to be so useless. I strengthened my mental power a little bit, and he died. If the guy you meet is too difficult, you just do it too." Just drop him and get another one."

Xue Yelai didn't speak, and took care of his beautiful long hair.He has long been used to hearing such remarks.

Although the "sage" and the "warrior" are a community that has concluded a spiritual contract, the relationship between the two parties is completely unequal.Sages are noble mind-controllers, while warriors are mere tools driven by men.If the warrior dies, the sage who was paired with him can easily find the next replacement; on the contrary, if the sage died, the warrior who was paired with him will be eliminated.

Why is this so, Xue Yelai has never thought about it, and there is no need to think about it.As the successor of the Xue family, his future path has already been paved, and he only needs to walk step by step.

After the meal, Xue Yelai rejected Cao Ge's invitation to "go out and have a high" and returned to the examination room alone.The next exam will be held tomorrow, but he wants to see Bai Yang again before then.

Bai Yang is a "dark warrior" that is rare in a century.But the first thing Xue Yelai noticed was not his powerful aptitude, but his beautiful appearance.Such excessive beauty has a kind of softness, which contrasts with his unruliness even more fiercely.

Warriors who have not signed a contract are like untamed beasts, and it is very common for them not to cooperate with sages.But Bai Yang's emotion towards Xue Yelai was not just "resistance" - it was naked hatred, so strong that Xue Yelai was startled.A few days ago, a trainer just mentioned Xue Yelai's name in front of Bai Yang, but he was severely injured by Bai Yang who suddenly rose up, and he is still lying in the intensive care unit.

The mentor was naturally frightened and wanted to replace Xue Yelai.But Xue Yelai's competitive spirit was aroused, and he pointed out that Bai Yang didn't want it.He wanted to know, why on earth would a person who met him for the first time have such a strong hatred for him?

This mystery has been tormenting Xue Yelai, causing him to stand outside the isolation room again.

Bai Yang hugged his knees and sat in the corner, his hands and feet were bound with restraints, his eyes half-opened, staring at the void.Quiet, he looks unreal, as if he is not aggressive.

Xue Yelai knocked on the screen door, "Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you."

Bai Yang closed his eyes and didn't respond at all, as if even looking at Xue Yelai would make him sick.

"Have I ever messed with you? Why do you hate me so much?"

Still no response.Bai Yang seemed to have made up his mind not to have any communication with Xue Yelai.

Xue Yelai grew up being held in high esteem, so he never received cold treatment.After bumping into obstacles one after another, his young master's temper finally exploded: "I warn you, I cherish your qualifications, but my patience is limited. If you insist on not cooperating, I can kill you easily, and no one will hold you accountable." my responsibility."

"Then kill me." Bai Yang finally said with a sneer, "Even if I die, I won't be your Xue family's dog."
