Chapter Sixteen: A Difficult Decision

  After saying this, Lin Feng saw that Old Man Karl's face looked even more unsightly, as if he was about to cast a high-level fire spell on him. Although he felt somewhat bewildered in his heart, he couldn't help but hastily add another sentence: "I feel I'm more suited to being a warrior, but I won't give up on my magic training."

  "Oh, listen up, kiddo!"

  It was clear that Lin Feng's last sentence had finally made Old Karl's face look a bit better, but when he heard Lin Feng's words, he was extremely disdainful: "Do you think you can live as long as those elves? You should know that the average human lifespan is only about 150 years. What can you do in such a short period of time? It's already precious to be able to cultivate magic to its peak, but you actually want to cultivate both magic and martial arts?! Do you think you've reached the realm of the saints with their long lives?! You haven't!!! This will only make you accomplish nothing, understand?!"

  "Lin Feng, I think Lord Karl is absolutely right. After all, human energy is limited. You need to learn to be rational and not let emotions control your actions. If you can reach the level of a great magician by the age of 35, then there's hope for you to enter the Sanctuary. Once you're in the Sanctuary, it's not too late to cultivate martial skills either. Look at the Empire's famous Cloud Sky Law Saint 'Hari' - didn't he start cultivating martial skills only after reaching the Sanctuary?"

  Nina also tried to persuade Lin Feng, hoping that he could "turn over a new leaf" and give up his pursuit of martial arts.

  She didn't know that reaching the Sanctuary wasn't that simple, many great warriors or mages reached the 9th level before they were a hundred years old, but never broke through to the Sanctuary in their lifetime, and the secrets behind it were not something an ordinary person like her could understand.

  She simply hopes her son can become stronger, only when he becomes stronger will there be a day for him to stand out!

  Lin Feng quietly listened to the two people's advice, but in his heart he deeply sighed. Nana and Old Karl didn't know, but he himself was extremely clear: he had discovered that meditation could increase his spiritual power, as well as his control over magic, and even his absorption of ions from the air. Moreover, he also found out that if his spiritual power was strong enough, he could completely control the electric current within his body!

  However, his body was indeed too weak. The illusory and elusive sacred domain aside, even if he cultivated to the realm of a great magician, although his spiritual power and control over magic were extremely strong, he still couldn't absorb more ions!

  Although he was curious about magic, he also knew that although the number of magicians was small, it wasn't the only one! But being able to control electric currents, probably in this world, only he could do it, this is the only one, irreplaceable!

  Even the great magician Carl didn't know what electricity was, Lin Feng was almost certain that in this world, although ions existed, no one understood it!!

  Magicians may be precious, but compared to the electric current that I can control, they're nothing!

  Lin Feng, who has memories of his past life, deeply understands the importance of "originality and monopoly"!

  For a technology, being original means pioneering, and if this pioneering can be monopolized, then wealth will naturally roll in!

  But as soon as this technology comes out, whether you like it or not, a series of knockoffs and imitations will quickly appear, and you will no longer be unique!

  However, controlling electricity is something that no one should be able to imitate, right?

  This was Lin Feng's true intention in his heart, but when he saw Nina and Old Karl's intense reaction, he knew that he had been too hasty.

  For two people with deeply ingrained ideas, it's impossible to accept such a thing at once. It seems that the only way is to let time pass and slowly change their views.

  So Lin Feng decided to compromise with the two for the time being, because he felt that his age was still young, and even if it took a little longer, it wouldn't be too late. Moreover, he was more afraid of hurting the hearts of the two people.

  "Alright, teacher, mother, I've been convinced."

  Lin Feng pretended to be dejected and helpless, spreading his hands towards the two of them.

  When Nina and Old Karl heard Lin Feng's words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two were most afraid that Lin Feng would not listen to their advice and insist on going his own way, ending up with nothing accomplished in the end. But it seemed that this little guy had listened to their good intentions after all.

  "Alright, my child, don't put too much pressure on yourself, I believe that you have always been a genius!"

  Nina saw Lin Feng's dejected appearance and couldn't help but hug him tightly again, speaking some words of comfort.

  Old Karl finally put his mind at ease, took a deep breath, and his mood improved: "Alright, little guy, no need to look so down. With your 10-year-old spirit force as a second-level magician, the future is truly immeasurable. Who knows, maybe I, Old Karl, can even teach a Saint Domain Magic Master's apprentice, hahaha..."

  Accompanied by Old Karl's hearty laughter, his figure had already disappeared into the dark house.

  ……

  Thus, under Lin Feng's "compromise" with a "hanging head and low spirits", life returned to its calm state. Every day, Lin Feng would quietly meditate and cultivate, while Old Karl would take some time out in the evening to teach Lin Feng some cultivation techniques. Beautiful Nina calmly improved the food for the two of them, and next to Old Karl's house, two more houses were quickly built again.

  These two rooms were naturally for Nina and Lin Feng to live in. As Lin Feng grew older day by day, he could no longer continue sleeping with Nina together. Although Lin Feng was still very young, having memories of two lifetimes, he would not be an idiot. The sense of shame had already formed since the day he was born, but at that time, he was too young and Nina did not have the status of a marquise's wife, so little him could not get a separate room like other young masters, so he could only live with Nina in the same room.

  But now it's different, Old Karl's house is located in a remote area, nestled in this forest, with a lot of space. Old Karl just went to the town and asked some low-level warriors to cut down some trees around him, and then built two wooden houses for Nina and Lin Feng.

  When Old Karl paid the money to these low-level warriors, they refused to accept the silver coins handed over by Old Karl. Instead, they hoped that Old Karl could give them a magical aptitude test. These people all understood that once they had the opportunity to become magicians, silver and gold coins would naturally be plentiful. Compared with the precious opportunities in front of them, what did the construction cost of a few silver coins matter?

  Unfortunately, however, none of these people had the talent to become magicians, but Old Karl still generously paid the construction costs for these people.

  Lin Feng naturally saw this matter, lamenting that the system was harming people, and at the same time, he hesitated in his heart.

  Should I stick to my own ideas or just be a good boy and become a magician under the constraints of this big environment?
