This day, for Dugu Xiaojin, was no different from usual.
Early in the morning at 5 a.m., he got up, washed up, then practiced horse stance for an hour, circulated his energy in a cycle, and practiced his boxing twice.
He had breakfast at 7 a.m., ate silently, and after his meal, he recited for half an hour, packed his trunk, and was sent to the Imperial Academy.
The horse carriage stopped about half a kilometer away from the Imperial Academy, and Dugu Xiaojin walked the rest of the way by himself.
Among the students coming and going, he wore a neatly dressed blue robe of a child student, hid his presence, kept his head down, and did not attract attention.
Although he was the second top student among the Imperial Academy's child students, Dugu Xiaojin preferred to be on his own; he was reticent and had no friends.
Just as he entered the gates of the Imperial Academy, suddenly, a "thing" flew towards him.
Dugu Xiaojin was quick-witted and was about to dodge.
