Chapter 17: Paying Homage to the Master and Learning the Art

  Insufficient balance

  When I woke up again, I was in a very simple bedroom. Where am I? Xiao Jin, how is Xiao Jin? I quickly looked inside and it's okay, although Xiao Jin seems to be asleep, but I can clearly feel its vibrant vitality. My Xiao Jin, you finally came back to life, my tears flowed down unconsciously.

  Now I feel a sense of solidity in my heart, and I really don't care about losing half of my vitality.

  The door creaked and the old wizard approached.

  "Are you awake?"

  "Is it! Where is there?"

  "This is my bedroom, you can rest here and recover, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

  "Thank you." I was really grateful to this old magician in my heart. Without him, Xiaojin would not have been able to return to my side.

  After a while, the old magician brought over a lot of food. I wolfed it down and ate my fill. With a good mood, my appetite was naturally good, and everything tasted delicious, haha.

  Eat slowly, don't choke.

  "How long did I sleep?"

  "It's been 7 days."

  "Ah! So long!" I exclaimed in surprise.

  "This is still quick, your magic skills are quite solid, according to my estimate you should be asleep for at least 10 more days!"

  "No wonder I'm so hungry, I've slept for so long! By the way, I haven't asked your name yet!"

  "My name is Laudon."

  "My name is Chang Gong Wei."

  "I want to ask you a question I asked before, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and learn the light system magic to inherit my legacy?" The old magician brought up an old topic.

  I thought for a moment. "I will,"

  "I'm not blackmailing you just because I helped you save the fantasy beast. You need to think clearly, I hope you're willing."

  "Teacher Di, I'm willing to learn from you. I feel that you're very strong and I'd like to study with you. This time, I learned a lesson that my actual strength is really weak. I hope to become stronger."

  "Why do you want to become stronger?" Teacher Di asked me with great interest.

  "I will protect my family and friends with my own strength." I replied firmly.

  "Very well, I accept you as my apprentice. You are my only apprentice and also my closed-door disciple." Teacher Di was very satisfied with my answer.

  "With your incredible abilities, why don't you have any disciples?" I asked in surprise.

  "Few people are willing to learn light system magic nowadays, and even fewer have the talent for it. That's why I'm determined to take you on as my apprentice."

  "Then you won't test me? I heard from my previous teacher that powerful magicians have to go through many tests before accepting an apprentice."

  "Foolish child, this time's Phantom Beast incident is the best test for you."

  "Thank you, teacher. From now on, I will study magic diligently with you. Previously, I was very lazy, but this time the bitter lesson has awakened me. Only with real power can one protect others and oneself."

  "This idea of yours is great, just like a little adult." Di Laoshi couldn't help but laugh.

  "Teacher, when will we start learning?"

  "Look at you, eager to improve yourself quickly. Actually, I want it more than you do. I only have one requirement for you, and that is to become the legendary Great Magic Teacher." Di teacher said seriously.

  "Don't worry, I will definitely become a great demon master." I vowed.

  "Right, teacher, I haven't gone back to school for so many days, what about the college?"

  "Don't worry, I've already asked for leave for you, so just rest here at ease."

  "The college is so easy-going." I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

  "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm actually the principal of the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy, hehe." Di teacher smiled somewhat slyly.

  "What?!" I was clearly stunned by this news. "Then what magic level are you?!"

  "Magician, I'm still the honorary vice-president of the Magic Guild, how about it? Being your teacher isn't bad, right?"

  "Wow, you're so powerful! You are one of the only ten mages on the mainland now."

  "Yes, I was ranked fourth among the top ten mages." Teacher Di said this with a hint of regret.

  "Don't be discouraged, you're already very impressive. Moreover, although you ranked fourth, you will have a student who is the number one magician on the entire continent in the future. How glorious that is, heh heh."

  "The number one magic student on the entire continent? Who is that?" He obviously hadn't reacted yet.

  I pointed at my own nose "It's me!"

  Teacher Di slapped me hard, "You little brat, your face is really thick-skinned. You'd better work hard for me, I'm very strict with my students. Don't let me lose face, otherwise... hehe..."

  Although I haven't started learning magic with him yet, I feel that Teacher Di is a very kind and humorous elder, and won't be like the old devil who taught me before.

  "I'm serious, 'Don't worry, I absolutely won't make you lose face.'"

  "You won't have to go to school at the academy anymore, I've already spoken with your teacher. From now on, you'll live here and I'll teach you magic personally. Don't blame Haidi for what happened this time, he couldn't control the situation either. And I hope you don't tell anyone about the revival of the phantom beast. Having a growing phantom beast is quite enviable, so it's better if everyone thinks Xiaojin is dead. Let's wait until it can fully protect itself before letting it appear in public."

  "It's okay." Xiao Jin didn't die, I won't blame Hai Ri anymore. If anyone should be blamed, it's me, who let Xiao Jin out?

  "Take a good rest, your body is still very weak. After all, you've consumed half of your life force. I've already used the high-level recovery magic of the system to treat you, but it seems like the effect isn't very obvious. Maybe it's not suitable for your condition. This time, with this magic, I don't know if there will be any aftereffects." Teacher Di said with some distress.

  "Teacher, it's okay, I did this voluntarily. If anything happens in the future, I'll take responsibility for it myself." I comforted him.

  "Longbow, you're a good kid. Why do light elements keep gathering around you even when you're sleeping, and at such an astonishing speed?"

  When I heard the teacher ask this, I felt a bit embarrassed. From start to finish, I told him everything that had been on my mind while lying down.

  "You silly kid, I don't even know what to say about you. Should I call you a genius or a lazy bum? I never thought that you would accidentally stumble upon the approval of the Light Element, something that I only achieved at the age of 60!"

  I could only respond with a silly smile.
