The Burning Sun Golden Crow, the Burning Sun Golden Crow.

Du Yu, his whole body burning hot, felt a bit dazed in his mind.

Although he attended an ordinary school, in a world where demon spirits were prevalent, the basic education curriculum was not lacking in subjects related to demon beasts.

Even from elementary to high school, schools had special martial arts courses, and the Great Xia would not give up on laying a solid foundation for any child before the door of awakening was completely closed at the end of puberty.

All the preparations were to help the children become part of that 30%.

Du Yu vaguely remembered that during the two weeks of college entrance exam preparation, he had read the story of the Golden Crow clan somewhere, but where was it, where?

"Wow! A miracle, simply a miracle!"

"Wah~ Mom, where are you, Mom?" The crowd was either jubilant or crying, with countless paper cranes being held in the arms of ecstatic people or thrown into the air. Traffic police loudly maintained order on the scene.

In this vivid tableau of human life, it seemed only Du Yu was still.

He lay in the sea of paper cranes, his whole body submerged, with only his face exposed, looking at the clear blue sky.

Yes, I remember!

Du Yu's eyes regained some vitality. The ancient Golden Crow clan!

An obscure knowledge point, the mysterious Golden Crow clan was extremely rare and was known as an auspicious divine bird by the world.

For thousands of years, the Golden Crow clan has left many legends in various parts of the Great Xia.

It is said that they would rescue people lost in other realms, granting them light and warmth, and guiding them back home.

"Are you, okay?" In his mind, the little girl timidly asked.

Before Du Yu could respond, he felt a darkness before his eyes, the clear blue sky disappeared, replaced by endless void and a faint, floating figure in front of him.

The small figure was very ethereal, with a transparent outline.

The only color on her entire body was her large orange-red eyes, which resembled the beautiful colors of a sunset.

Innocent and beautiful.

Du Yu tried to calm down, taking a deep breath.

This bizarre world, time and again, challenged his understanding of the world. Perhaps he should have been used to it by now?

But a little girl?

Aren't they the legendary auspicious Golden Crow clan? Her cute appearance matched her soft, sweet voice.

He cautiously asked, "Are you the legendary Golden Crow clan? What do you want to do?"

The little girl's voice was intermittent, as if she was struggling: "I enter your body, to rest."

"If you're injured, I can find a demon pet doctor to help you."

"No, no!"

Before she finished speaking, the little girl anxiously interrupted: "Living beings, dangerous, will eat me."

She looked pitiful, her large orange-red eyes gazing at Du Yu: "Don't tell anyone."

Du Yu looked troubled: "But I'm just an ordinary person, how can I help you?"

"No, you can."

"Oh?" Du Yu felt a surge of joy. Could I have the potential to awaken?

He was just 17 years old, which fit the age for awakening.

"Don't, drive me away. I can help you, train, okay?" The little girl looked like she was about to cry, her voice trembling and sweet, making Du Yu feel uncomfortable.

Humans are truly interesting.

Life is already hard, yet they can't bear to see others suffer.

"Okay, okay." Du Yu nodded repeatedly, "How can I help you?"

"You are a pureblood. Purebloods are rare."

Du Yu: ???

She said I'm a pureblood?

What does that mean? Are others mixed breeds?

Eh, never mind, it's not me who will be scolded.

"Pureblood, fire." The little girl lowered her head, her head touching Du Yu's chest.

"Hmm?" Du Yu didn't dare move, watching the little one enter his chest.

Sigh~

The void quietly disappeared.

Du Yu's eyes once again saw the clear blue sky, and the noisy sounds of the crowd flooded his ears.

So magical, was I just dragged into some spiritual world?

"Burning Sun, little Burning Sun?" Du Yu tried to call out in his mind, "I'm willing to help you. Can you tell me what happened?"

"I fought a big tree. I couldn't beat it."

Du Yu: ""

The little Burning Sun's escape method was so terrifying, how strong must the tree that defeated her be?

The more Du Yu thought about it, the more worried he became. If the enemy comes after me, won't I be in trouble too?

Two college entrance exams, Du Yu was almost exhausted. He didn't want to go through another one!

Du Yu: "What kind of tree? Where is it? Trees can't walk, right?"

"Um, no. It bound me, ate me. I peeled its bark and ran."

Du Yu preferred to believe it was a grand battle, but from the little Burning Sun's mouth, it sounded like a game of make-believe.

"I used the tree bark to turn into many birds, flying everywhere. Finally, I found a pureblood, fire, you."

For a moment, Du Yu's thoughts became active.

This world has six elemental attributes: wind, fire, water, lightning, earth, and wood.

When a demon tamer awakens, they will also unlock their elemental attribute.

A demon tamer cannot release wind, fire, lightning, or earth on their own. They can only sign a contract with a demon beast and cultivate powerful demon pets to stand on their own.

The elemental attribute a demon tamer unlocks determines what kind of demon pet they can sign a contract with.

So, according to the little Burning Sun, am I a fire-type demon tamer?

"I will help you, and stay with you."

As the little Burning Sun's soft voice echoed in his mind, Du Yu's skin began to glow with a faint orange-red light.

It was dreamlike, just like the beautiful eyes of the little Burning Sun.

But Du Yu couldn't see it; he only felt a burning sensation all over his body, as if his blood was on fire.

"Burning" Du Yu barely managed to say one word before his vision blurred, and he fainted.

He didn't know how long he slept.

In his dream, Du Yu returned to the void.

This time, a black bird with dark golden patterns on its body, emitting a mysterious and brilliant glow, greeted him.

Du Yu cautiously reached out to touch it, and the dark golden patterns on the black bird suddenly burst into golden flames, burning fiercely!

Is it a Golden Crow or a Phoenix?

In the dream, Du Yu had nowhere to run, letting the fierce flames rush to his face, completely igniting his body.

Time passed, the sun rose high.

"Ah" Du Yu, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for air, and hurriedly sat up.

Smelling the pungent disinfectant, he realized he was in a hospital.

Du Yu looked around the large ward, which had about 30 to 40 beds, all occupied by sleeping teenagers.

"Du Yu, you're awake?"

Du Yu turned to see his homeroom teacher, Li Hong.

The homeroom teacher, who was usually strict, had never been so gentle.

As Du Yu turned, Li Hong stopped, her face full of surprise.

"Uh~" Du Yu didn't have time to care about that. A wave of heat surged in his body, and he hurriedly got out of bed, "Where's the bathroom, where's the bathroom?"

So hot, so hot!

Truly, full of passion!

The nurse beside him was already used to this scene.

Following her guidance, Du Yu stumbled to the bathroom, dove into the sink, and quickly turned on the faucet, letting the cold water pour over his head.

He frantically rubbed his head, face, and even lifted his short sleeves to splash cold water on his chest and back.

"Slap~ Slap~ Slap~"

After two minutes, Du Yu finally felt relieved!

He wasn't sure if it was the physical cooling or his body stabilizing, but he no longer felt so hot.

"Ah" Du Yu panted, turned off the faucet, and slowly lifted his head, supporting himself on the sink.

The wet-haired boy in the mirror surprised Du Yu.

He finally understood why the homeroom teacher was so surprised!

Du Yu was fair-skinned and gentle, with the potential to be a warm and sympathetic person.

Now, his eyes were so bright, like a dragon's eyes, making the person in the mirror come alive.

Bright and piercing eyes!

Such a pair of outstanding eyes changed his entire demeanor, making him look more handsome and dignified.

How can I still be a sympathetic person? This is purely heading towards a heartbreaker!

"Wait, what is this?" Du Yu frowned, as if he had discovered something significant.

This body, previously immersed in books, had mild myopia, but it didn't affect him much, so he didn't need glasses.

Now, Du Yu could see the fine hairs on the mop in the corner of the mirror, experiencing what it meant to have keen eyesight!

"Fine, Du Yu, really fine"

"Hehe~ Not just that." Suddenly, a soft voice came from his ear.

Du Yu couldn't help but blink, and through the mirror, he saw a small head slowly appear behind his right shoulder.

Du Yu's body was already hot, and seeing this, he almost bled from his nose.

The little Burning Sun rubbed her nose against Du Yu's shoulder, her large eyes blinking: "My eyes, have more, uses."

Du Yu was taken aback: "Your eyes?"

The eyes of the Burning Sun Golden Crow?

When a demon tamer reaches a certain level, they can indeed combine their power with a demon beast to use demon skills. But that's for powerful demon tamers!

Even if Du Yu had awakened, he was just a beginner. How could he use the eyes of the legendary auspicious Burning Sun Golden Crow?

"I and you, contract, okay~"

One surprise after another, Du Yu didn't know how to sign a contract. How could he sign one?

The little Burning Sun meant that she signed with him? Pet signing human?

Can this world work like that? I've never heard of it.

Sigh~

The little Burning Sun didn't pay attention to the stunned Du Yu. Her figure suddenly transformed into a palm-sized ethereal bird, landing on Du Yu's shoulder.

Du Yu's eyes narrowed. Wasn't this the black-feathered, gold-patterned bird from his dream?

The bird on his shoulder was ethereal, with no physical form, so it didn't have the black and gold colors.

"Thank you, for letting me enter your body." The little Burning Sun's joyful voice echoed in his mind, and the bird on his shoulder tilted its head, affectionately rubbing against Du Yu's cheek.

Du Yu: "Uh"

"Um, someone." The little Burning Sun seemed to sense something and disappeared instantly.

"Click." The bathroom door opened, and a male nurse walked in with a towel, "Student, are you okay?"

Du Yu turned to the door and slowly shook his head.

Inevitably, the male nurse saw Du Yu's bright eyes.

Du Yu knew he had become a heartbreaker, but being stared at by a man made him uncomfortable. He said, "Hello?"

"Ah!" The male nurse came to his senses, "It's good that you've stabilized. Come, wipe your face."

"Thank you." Du Yu took the towel, wiping his hair while asking, "Excuse me, how did I end up in the hospital?"

The nurse's expression was a bit unnatural, and he quickly looked away: "Yesterday afternoon, you experienced a paper crane rain at the gate of No. 17 High School. The police brought you and your classmates here."

Du Yu nodded lightly: "Paper crane rain"

The nurse: "Experts analyzed that the paper crane rain was likely caused by a powerful demon beast.

We don't know which demon beast did it or what they wanted, but the paper crane rain that fell in the city helped many children awaken and become demon tamers."

Du Yu was shocked: "Did the entire Songgu Tower City experience the paper crane rain?"

"Not just Songgu Tower City, most of the eastern part of the Great Xia experienced the paper crane rain at the same time."

Du Yu: "Ah?"

The eastern part of the Great Xia had paper crane rain! On such a scale, the little Burning Sun must be incredibly powerful?

No wonder she's a legendary demon beast, even her escape is so dramatic.

Speaking of which, when the little Burning Sun transformed into countless paper cranes to search for a place to stay, she brought blessings to the Great Xia. And she ultimately signed a contract with me and moved into my body.

For a moment, Du Yu almost cried.

All the hard work for the college entrance exam, two rounds of intense preparation, and being run over by a truck!

Isn't this karma?
