Chapter Eleven: Speculation

  Talman looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression: "Who is this?"

  "Oh, I'm his teacher, Lord Talman. Please forgive my disciple's impertinence; he's still just a child."

  Karl smiled apologetically at Talman, then continued to Lin Feng: "Kid, the Paulo Academy is the largest martial arts academy in the empire. Don't ask any more questions here, just wait over there."

  "Alright, teacher."

  Lin Feng helplessly sighed and found a place to sit down in Karl's room. He didn't have anything he could do, as in the past, he could absorb ions from the air during normal times. However, he discovered that his small body had limited capacity and could only absorb a small amount of ions before being unable to continue absorbing anymore.

  Just then, Tarman mentioned Paul College, and he also unintentionally asked a question. At this time, he was rushed to one side by Carl, so he could only pretend to be in a daze on the one hand, and secretly listen to the conversation between the two magicians on the other hand.

  But Lin Feng found that his teachers, Karl and Talman, were only discussing things on a superficial level. They both tacitly avoided talking about anything related to magic. After listening for just a short while, Lin Feng suddenly felt very bored.

  Just as he was about to fall asleep, a thick voice came from outside: "Young master, the mad wolf has been caught..."

  As the voice rose, a sturdy man walked into Karl's house, this man was wearing a layer of leather armor all over his body, with a knight's shortsword at his waist, a standard knight attire - it was Talman's temporary guardian knight Danny.

  The nearly two-meter-tall mad wolf was now stunned by his own aura and thrown outside the house.

  Denny first expressed his gratitude to Carl, and then started chatting with Talman. However, Lin Feng could no longer hear what they were talking about, because all of his attention was now focused on Denny's sturdy muscles.

  Even his eyes were flashing with a fiery glow!

  However, don't get me wrong, Lin Feng wasn't interested in men at all. He was attracted to Danny's sturdy muscles only because it suddenly reminded him of something else.

  He thought to himself, "Is my ability to absorb ions limited because my body isn't strong enough?" Then he wondered, "If I want to become a warrior and continually strengthen my muscles, will my body be able to store more electricity?"

  As soon as this idea emerged from his heart, Lin Feng's heart couldn't help but burn with passion!

  ……

  ……

  Karl then chatted with Talman and Danny for a while, until the sun was about to set in the evening. The two of them bid farewell and invited Karl to visit Paul's Academy in the Imperial Capital when he had the chance...

  The appearance of the two people was perhaps just a fleeting encounter in Karl's life, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but was quickly attracted by the fragrance coming from outside!

  Nina had already prepared dinner, although the food at Old Karl's house was simple, she still did her best to cook it with care. She was originally a marquise's personal maid and naturally received professional training in cooking. Although she hadn't cooked since becoming pregnant with Lin Feng and it had been over ten years, her skills were a bit rusty, but she had learned before. The dishes she made immediately attracted Old Karl.

  This meal was extremely satisfying for the three of them. Although Old Karl was a great magician, he had grown accustomed to living alone and had devoted all his energy to studying magic, so his demands on food were not that high.

  After finishing the meal with relish, Old Karl was in a great mood: "Nina, your cooking skills are simply amazing. How about this? Tomorrow, go to town with me to buy a lot of food, and from now on, I'll leave all the cooking to you."

  In this way, under the command of Old Karl, Nina became a specialized cook. That night, Old Karl taught Lin Feng meditation techniques. The next morning, Old Karl took Nina to the town market, although Nina was worried about leaving Lin Feng alone at home, but there was nothing she could do.

  This time, she followed Old Karl to the market to get familiar with it. Next time, she would have to go shopping at the market by herself.

  Lin Feng was now in Old Man Karl's home, after a whole night of contemplation, although he hadn't slept at all, Lin Feng found that he wasn't tired in the least, his spirit was exceptionally good.

  When Lin Feng saw Danny yesterday, he had the idea of exercising in his heart. Today, before Nina went out, she reminded him not to run around, but Lin Feng didn't take it seriously.

  Although in other people's eyes he is still just a ten-year-old kid, his actual age has long been that of an adult man.

  So as soon as Nina and Karl had just stepped out of the house, Lin Feng immediately ran out after them.

  At this time, he had already arrived at a earth slope not far from the small woods, holding an iron axe as long as half of his body in his hand and hacking at a small tree beside him with all his might.

  The iron axe was dug out from Old Karl's home, although it weighed less than ten kilograms, but Lin Feng, who was only ten years old, still used a lot of effort to pull the iron axe here. The task he arranged for himself today is to cut down the small tree in front of him!

  Every time he swung the iron axe in his hand, Lin Feng felt extremely strenuous. As the number of swings increased, the iron axe in his hand also felt heavier and heavier. After swinging less than twenty times, Lin Feng already felt his arms aching with weakness, unable to lift it up again.

  But on the trunk of the tree, there was only a faint mark.

  "This body is really useless."

  Lin Feng couldn't help but smile wryly, although he also understood that it was still his own age problem. A grown man's soul trapped in a child's body always made him feel like "having strength but being unable to use it". After all, during the ten years of living in the Marquis' estate, he hadn't done any physical labor at all. His biggest physical exertion every day was running a few laps inside the small room that he wasn't allowed to leave. Even in the last year, because he only ate one bread roll per day, he didn't dare to consume too much energy.

  As a result, his physique also weakened.

  Never having used his own strength, Lin Feng had always been in a kind of "illusion", thinking he still had the power from his original world. But this first swing of the iron axe made Lin Feng realize that even if he chopped for an entire day, he probably wouldn't be able to cut down this small tree.

  However, Lin Feng did not want to give up like this. He rested for a while and when he felt that his arms had finally recovered their strength, he swung the iron axe at the tree trunk again.

  After repeating this process several times, Lin Feng finally felt that he couldn't muster up the strength anymore. He looked at the sky and then at the mark on the tree trunk, which was less than half a finger wide, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, an entire morning's time has been wasted!"
