I Have a Dice Left by a God

In the carriage heading back to the Islamic Canon Law School, Celestia couldn't hide her joy. Princess definitely has a liking for Simmons. She knows all too well the absurdity of the royal court gatherings, which the Princess detests. She's only forced to participate, as every man there behaves like a flamboyant rooster. It's instinctive to show off, but girls don't like it, especially not the Princess.

Simmons' act of genuine pity happened to hit the mark. Her cousin indeed looks striking, handsome yet not ostentatious, especially when he behaves this way without knowing the Princess's identity, he's already a step ahead of the others.

If it were during the George Family's heyday, they'd definitely be eligible to pursue the Princess. But now, the George Family lacks a bit in performance. Let's see how the Battle of Glory goes this time. If they perform exceptionally well, couple with their unwavering stand on national policies during the Canon Law School incident, and also depending on the Princess's wishes, then the George Family's revival is just around the corner.

She has worried her heart out for this family.

By the time they returned to the Canon Law School base, Li Xin had brought back some food from the cafeteria. Poor Simmons still couldn't move and just watched Li Xin eat, his stomach rumbling in envy since he didn't have the strength to eat yet.

"Focus, you'll be able to eat tomorrow." Li Xin said while shoveling food into his mouth, "Celestia, you're back. Did your friend leave?"

"Yes, she went back. Is Simmons okay, he won't die, right?"

"Are you kidding? This little injury is nothing for our eagle-like Master Simmons. If it weren't for the Holy Land being closed tomorrow, he could fight for another six hours." Li Xin boasted about the young master's valor.

Simmons opened his mouth but didn't have the strength yet, appearing amused and annoyed, which made Celestia chuckle. She squatted next to Simmons, playing with his frizzy hair, "Maybe you should cut it, reduce the chance of lightning strikes."

"That's a good suggestion. It's too long and could block your vision. What's a man doing with such long hair anyway?" Li Xin gave her a thumbs-up.

"Then it's happily decided. Simmons, if you don't speak, I'll take it as agreement." Celestia went to find scissors — there were none here, but there's no shortage of knives. Watching Celestia holding a knife with a glint of mischief in her eyes, the eagle-like Master Simmons helplessly closed his eyes.

Revenge, this must be revenge for mocking her short hair back then.

Oh well, let it be cut. Long hair indeed is inconvenient and greatly affects his movements, though he did struggle to mutter a few words.

Celestia didn't hear it clearly, so she leaned in closer and finally heard Simmons's soft voice, "Leave some."

"Don't worry, dear brother, how could I harm you? Cutting your hair pains my heart, ha-ha." Celestia couldn't help but laugh.

This pair of siblings is indeed interesting. Brother Li enjoyed his food even more at Master Simmons's dismay.

After Li Xin finished eating, Simmons's body finally got fully connected by his Spiritual Ability, immediately restoring his ability to speak loudly, "Celestia, you mean girl, are you trying to get back at me!"

"Simmons, who are you accusing? No good deed goes unpunished. A man like an eagle, destined to lead us to soar, cares about a few strands of hair? Besides, didn't we leave you some, ha-ha, you're even shorter than Little Red Roll now."

Celestia bared her little tiger teeth, laughing happily, with a look of 'what can you do to me'. At this moment, Simmons had really been stripped down to basics.

Li Xin felt he shouldn't be caught in the crossfire, "Since you're okay now, you can recover on your own. I've got to rush my draft tonight, so I'm heading back first."

"Li Xin, good luck, I'll be waiting to see more later." Celestia swung her fist in encouragement.

Li Xin waved, full from eating, fueled to work hard. Tomorrow morning, he planned to visit Bird Daily to check the response and inquire about his manuscript fees. Sister Krista seemed like a very kind person, he won't get short-changed.

After Li Xin left, Celestia stopped laughing, "Are you really okay?"

Simmons also stopped joking around, shaking his head, "Never been better, maybe a miracle will really happen."

"You seem to trust him a lot." Celestia remarked casually, "A bit too careless, what if..."

"You don't understand, if he wanted to kill me, I'd have been dead already. The fact that he's going through such trouble must mean he's genuinely trying to help me." Simmons said, "What does your friend do? I always feel like you're up to some conspiracy."

"So you're the only one with friends? Mine are equally remarkable and trustworthy. Simmons, fight on. Speaking of which, you really embarrassed yourself. I wanted to boast about you to my friend. If only Li Xin were my brother." Saying this, she tugged at Simmons's face, knowing he couldn't make any big moves now, she bullied him with all her might.

What kind of messy friends, always thinking about showing off. If he had Li Xin's power, would he need to wait to kick Zheng Shengxun away from the second prince's side, endure this suffering? The main training is a circle you can't get into without strength.

Simmons gritted his teeth but couldn't do anything about her, he wouldn't sleep tonight. He had to pay close attention to the subtle changes in his Spiritual Ability throughout his body. Once he recovered, it would mean an improvement. It was a bit miserable but felt good; the Immortals from the Secret Castle back then were crazy, but they had similar methods to ensure he could take another breath.

Celestia wasn't planning on letting Simmons off the hook, "I saw Li Xin passing quite smoothly; why were you so clumsy with the Thunder's activation, and it was all foretold. Moreover, weren't the thunder balls floating leisurely, you've been at it so long and didn't adapt?"

Simmons was speechless, unsure of how to explain to Celestia. Before Li Xin came, there was no such variable as a thunder ball. Smooth? That was from the outside looking in!

The practical battle was a completely different nightmare. Celestia wasn't a Knight, her small frame wouldn't last a few rounds without going to the afterlife.

Li Xin's pace, he had seen twice now. Simmons has a great memory, especially in that kind of focused situation just now, having just experienced it himself while Li Xin was in front of him… No, wait, the track of the Thunder Power had a pattern, Simmons vaguely felt something, closing his eyes. Li Xin's pace inside was slow and quick. Quick in bursts, seeming slow due to the smooth transitions, the rhythm was as natural as breathing. Therefore, the leisurely appearance was an illusion, his speed was astonishingly fast, a combination of elegance and strength.

Completely immersed in mimicking, the burst rotations, and stalls, the balance of Spiritual Ability and physical strength, it was sheer artistry. The Warrior's core pentagram comprised of Spiritual Ability, strength, speed, burst, skill, insight, filled to the brim by Li Xin, suddenly shimmered in Simmons's mind. His arms and legs slid, mimicking the sensed feeling, incredibly mysterious.

But in Celestia's eyes, Simmons suddenly became strange, his hands and feet trembling and twitching, even his mouth shivering… Was she too excessive earlier? Or was there some sort of side effect from the Holy Land?

But looking closely at the enraptured expression on Simmons's face, he seemed… not mad? Ultimately, Celestia couldn't resist reaching out towards Simmons.

Suddenly… a bolt of lighting shot from Simmons's body, with a snap...

In an instant, Simmons froze, with playful Celestia also widened her eyes in surprise.

"Was it my imagination just now?" Simmons asked blankly with open eyes, pretending to not care, but no one cared more than him about not awakening abilities.

"I saw it too just now." Celestia quickly leaned in, excitedly saying, "Try again, try again!"

Simmons was the future pillar of the George Family, and his height would determine the family's height.

Simmons nodded, closed his eyes again, but couldn't enter that mysterious realm again, as if falling from a high level back to his original state. If he could maintain that state, he might pass the stone bridge.

Simmons did not spark with electricity again, but the recent change and that earlier realization had already opened up a new world for him. Once the window is open, is entry far away?

Is this the bond that Brother Li spoke of?
