Elemental Domain

Chapter 35 Asking for Leave

Li Kong, who had entered into cultivation, did not continue to think about what had just happened. He circulated the meridians of water element magic skills. Ever since he had exchanged blows with Dai Xin, he seemed to have caught a trace of a feeling. He needed to magnify the feeling now and grasp the water element magic skill, "Surge."

The ringing of his phone interrupted the feeling that Li Kong had finally caught.

He shook his head. It seemed that he still needed time. After picking up the phone, Captain Zhang Han's voice came out.

"Guard, we have a new mission."

"What mission?"

"Because Dai Xin was killed by our team, the higher-ups asked us to continue investigating Shadow Killing Hall's whereabouts. Moreover, this is a long-term mission. You may have to put aside the things you have on hand."

Listening to Zhang Han's narration, Li Kong was in a difficult position. It was impossible for a student like him to ask for leave to do a mission. Besides, even if he wanted to ask for leave, the school might not approve it.

He hesitated for a moment.

"Captain, give me some time to think about it. You know my age, so you should know what my profession is. So I have to think it through."

"Well, I know this makes you feel very embarrassed, so I won't force you. Think about it carefully."

"Alright, I'll contact you if there are any results." After hanging up the phone, Li Kong fell into deep thought. He had to consider carefully. Although he only cared about strength, he needed to consider where he could improve his strength quickly.

After some thought, Li Kong made a decision to accept the task, so he was going to ask Fan Xiao for a long vacation. If the latter did not agree, he would plan to drop out or other things.

In this way, he could stimulate his potential in actual combat and also escape from the vortex of the two girls. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

After making his own decision, Li Kong immediately got up and went to find Fan Xiao. He was not a procrastinator, and he would definitely do it when he thought about it.

"What? Say it again. You want to take leave?" Fan Xiao's rigid voice came from his room.

"Yes, I want to take a long vacation." Li Kong answered without hesitation.

"Why? Could it be the gossip from this morning at school?" Fan Xiao suddenly raised his voice. He understood what had happened at noon today because he was paying attention to Li Kong at all times. He did not want a talented student to be defeated just because of a few rumors.

"No." Li Kong was at a loss whether to tell Fan Xiao the truth or not.

"If you have anything to say, tell me." Fan Xiao asked doubtfully.

After struggling for a while, Li Kong said, "I joined the Magic Guard. Today, I received a mission. It was a long-term investigation mission."

"What? You are only thirteen years old and you are already doing such a dangerous thing. Do you think your life is worthless?" Fan Xiao slammed the table, and his angry voice could no longer be suppressed.

"Only by continuously fighting can I continue to grow. I need more strength, and only a life-threatening mission can better stimulate my potential." Li Kong was not intimidated. Instead, he explained calmly.

"So you think the school can't give you enough resources to improve yourself?" Fan Xiao questioned.

"Well, there are too few opportunities for me to get actual combat in school. For me, there is too little room for improvement."

"You don't know how dangerous it is. If you are not careful, your life will be threatened."

No matter what Li Kong said, Fan Xiao disagreed.

"instructor." Li Kong shouted seriously and then slowly released fire magic.

"What? You want to fight me?" Fan Xiao turned his head and looked at Li Kong. He was even more stern and angry.

Slowly, the fiery red color faded and the earthen yellow covered Li Kong's entire body.

"I knew you were hiding something. It's even more impossible for a dual-element mage to do this. I won't agree to your request."

The earthen yellow light once again faded away, covering the surface of his body in a golden color.

Fan Xiao could no longer sit still.

"Three Elements, you actually awakened three Elements. Li Kong, you have to think carefully. As long as you leave the Magic Guard, I will apply for resources from the school to help you become the stronger mage." It was hard for Fan Xiao to imagine how glorious a three-element mage would be in the future. No matter how much effort he put in for such a genius, it was worth it.

"Instructor, as you saw just now, only by constantly fighting to the death can I have a better improvement. The accumulation of resources will only make my foundation unstable, and continuous combat is the basis of my improvement. Just agree."

"I've mastered three elements' magic skills, so I have my trump card if anything happens. Moreover, there are other measures."Li Kong knew that Fan Xiao was concerned about him and didn't want him to die early. However, he couldn't be a flower in a greenhouse. That would be harmful to him.

Therefore, he had to use a certain amount of strength to intimidate Fan Xiao to achieve his purpose of asking for leave.

Hearing what Li Kong said, Fan Xiao hesitated because what Li Kong said was very reasonable. It was absolutely impossible for someone like him, who had mastered three elements, to rely solely on the accumulation of resources. Actual combat was the foundation.

"Do you really have a trump card?"

"Don't worry, instructor. I cherish my life very much. I won't take my life as a joke. Besides, the investigation this time will definitely not be life-threatening." Seeing that Fan Xiao finally relented, Li Kong immediately continued.

"I can approve it, but you have to promise that nothing will happen to you." Fan Xiao warned.

"Yes, I won't disappoint you." Li Kong solemnly replied. At the same time, he was very moved. Fan Xiao's concern for him could be seen in his eyes.

"Remember, your safety is the most important thing. If you encounter someone stronger than you, you must immediately retreat. You must not continue fighting." Fan Xiao repeatedly warned.

"Okay, you go. I will help you with the rest. If you are still not at level three when you come back, then don't mention the matter of the Magic Guard to me again.

"Take this. It can help you at critical moments." Fan Xiao handed a bead to Li Kong.

Li Kong reached out to take it and carefully examined it. It was a blue bead about the size of a thumb. It was surrounded by light yellow lines that vaguely formed the shape of a dragon. Faint elements leaked out from it.

"This is called the Seal Stone. It contains my full power attack." Fan Xiao explained.

"Throw it out when you are in danger. The energy inside will naturally burst out."

"Thank you, instructor. I won't disappoint you." Li Kong answered with certainty.

Li Kong left silently. Even the people in the dormitory did not know why Li Kong left.

In the afternoon, classroom.

"Mo Xing, what's going on? Why isn't Li Kong here?" Looking at the empty seat, Zhou Kai was puzzled. What happened? In the past, Li Kong was the first to arrive. Why was there no one today?

"Hey, where's Li Kong? Why isn't he here?" An angry voice sounded in Zhou Kai's ears. His body stiffened and he turned his head back with difficulty. Looking at the beauty who was a little annoyed, panic appeared in his eyes.

Just now, Mo Xing had told him the whole story in the dormitory, so he was afraid of this angelic girl now.

"I don't know. If you really don't believe me, you can ask him. We don't know where he went since noon."

Lin Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. If it were just for what happened today, then Li Kong would disappoint her too much.

When Liu Kexin turned around and saw that Li Kong had not come, she was also slightly stunned.

"Could it be that I had gone overboard today?" she thought to herself.

"Brother Zhao, it seems that Li Kong is not here." Li Zijian shook Zhao Qingyun beside him.

Zhao Qingyun turned his head and saw that Li Kong's seat was empty. His eyes lit up and he got up gracefully. He walked to Lin Yao and said in a graceful manner, "May I ask if I can sit here?"

"Get out." Lin Yao, who was thinking, shouted without hesitation.

Zhao Qingyun, who was flushed with success, was stunned and then felt humiliated. His expression was twisted.

He went back to his seat resentfully, "I will teach you a lesson. When the time comes, you will have to beg for mercy."

Li Kong's absence caused quite a stir in the class.

Some people thought that the school was under too much pressure and he could not bear to leave. Some people thought that the children of some big power in the school used the power behind them to drive Li Kong out of the school. There were many different opinions.
