Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Young Man! Thaumaturge...

  "I remember you're that teacher from the reporting department." Ailin scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "What brings you here?"

  "Just passing by and found you practicing." Kate looked at Ailing and asked: "Did Mr. Houston ask you to do such exercises?"

  Ailing shook her head: "It was I who heard that Mingluo teacher had used such a training method, so I tried it."

  "This guy..."

  Kate was taken aback, her brow furrowed. After a moment's thought, she looked at Ailing and nodded, "In that case, you might as well link these moves together and practice them as practical skills, it will be more beneficial."

  Ailin was also stunned, "Practical skill?"

  "A technique that can be used in battle." Kate said seriously: "The body and the technique, are both a wizard's weapon. In simple terms, if you want to defeat your opponent, you must use every means possible, using everything that can be utilized. A wizard who only uses techniques is definitely not a skilled fighter."

  Ailin seemed to have understood something and couldn't help but nod vigorously.

  "To inflict the most damage on your opponent with physical strength, the best way is to not be hit by their strength before hitting them." Kate continued calmly: "Speed can increase impact force, sudden changes in direction can dodge opponents' attacks and successfully rush to the front of the opponent, striking unexpectedly."

  "Watch closely."

  After making a cautionary gesture to Ailin, Kate suddenly sprang into action, sprinting rapidly towards the giant tree that Ailin had just crashed into. She made a swift forward dive, rolling on the ground before springing up with astonishing speed and punching the trunk of the tree.

  A "poof" sound.

  The hard brown bark is cracked and split, and the white trunk inside is exposed with countless dense cracks.

  But it didn't stop there, Kate's shoulder crashed into the tree trunk without hesitation, a loud "bang" sound, the whole giant tree shook violently, countless leaves fell down like rain.

  Ailing was completely stunned.

  Kate's movements were swift and continuous, as fast as a flash of lightning.

  Originally, there was nothing on the trunk of the tree, but now there were two large and small pits. Looking at the exploded tree bark and the raised wooden strips, Ailin could be sure that if she had been hit like this, her fate would have been similar to that of the guy who was slapped flying by the Shimus giant.

  "Full-force sprinting enhances impact, while rolling on the ground allows you to dodge your opponent's attack and catch them off guard." Kate explained quietly, looking at Ailin who was staring blankly: "This set of movements can both exercise your body and be used in actual combat. The key point is that when rolling and jumping up, the action must be smooth, the force must be complete, and the speed cannot slow down. Also, the timing of punching out must be controlled well, using one punch to first shorten the distance between the two sides, stopping the opponent's next move, but also not slowing down your next collision movement because of this punch."

  "Got it! Let me try."

  Ailin nodded excitedly and shouted as she summoned her courage again and rushed towards the giant tree in front of her.

  "Hiss..."

  Kate's eyes narrowed and she took a deep breath involuntarily.

  "Bang!" "Bang!" Two loud explosions, Ailin has already bounced up from the ground, one punch heavily hitting the tree trunk, and then the whole body crashed again without stopping.

  "Ah!"

  Although another exaggerated scream rang out immediately, Kate's entire body was stiffened, and her eyes were also filled with an incredible expression.

  In terms of speed and strength, Ailin was certainly no match for him, but all of Ailin's movements were extremely smooth and fluid.

  There was no repeated practice, just once, Ailin completely mastered this set of actions. Those difficulties he mentioned seemed to be non-existent for Ailin.

  He doesn't need further explanation and guidance at all.

  As long as Ailin continues to practice like this, these movements will definitely become faster and more explosive.

  Kate had also taught many students before and had seen some who could be called geniuses, but in terms of learning speed and comprehension ability, it seemed that no one could compare to Ailin.

  "What kind of monster is this guy, a coincidence or born like this?... What kind of mysterious bloodline is he?" Kate's palms slowly broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat, but her heart was beating wildly out of control.

  "Is that so, Teacher Kate?" Elin asked, sitting on the ground with a pained expression, looking up at him expectantly.

  "It's like this." Kate settled her nerves, "If you're interested, practice it yourself."

  "Thank you, Teacher Kate."

  "Don't be polite, just practice yourself."

  Kate's figure moved, shooting upwards and transforming into a green flying shadow flowing through the top of the giant forest.

  "Wow, you're so impressive, Teacher Kate. You must be one of the elite teachers in the college. But I guess you still can't beat Mingluo teacher and Rui teacher."

  "...". Kate, who was flying through the trees, was thinking about whether to teach Ailin something else next time. As soon as she heard Ailin's words, she almost stumbled and fell directly from the air to the ground.

  "Ah!" "Ah!"....

  One after another mournful cry echoed through the giant forest.

  ……

  ……

  The night color once again enveloped the entire Saint Dawn Academy, under the twinkling starlight, the giant forest returned to its usual tranquility.

  The next morning, Ailin was still drowsy when she suddenly felt as if a dark cloud had appeared in front of her.

  Ailin opened her eyes to find Bello standing in front of her bed, motionless and staring at her with a serious expression. She mumbled somewhat dazedly: "What time did you come back yesterday? I waited for you till late but didn't see you return, so I went to sleep first... What are you doing standing there looking at me like that? It's scary. I'm not a monster, what's there to look at?"

  "You're more interesting than the monsters in the Academy's Colosseum, I must say. I'm having a bit of trouble seeing through you." Berol gazed at Elin with a serious expression, his glasses flashing like a thin layer of frost in the morning sunlight filtering through the window lattice.

  "What's so interesting?" Ailin wiped away the drool from the corner of her mouth and sat up dazedly.

  "When I came back yesterday, I thought I walked into the wrong room." Bero looked at him and said: "It wasn't until I took a closer look at you that I realized someone had beaten you up so badly that your nose was blue and your face was swollen. At that time, even Professor Houston wouldn't have recognized you."

  When Bailu said that, Ailin smiled awkwardly and said: "I wasn't beaten by anyone, it was like this when I practiced myself."

  "Now take a look in the mirror." Berro said, pushing his glasses up.

  Ailin stood up with a bewildered expression and glanced at the mirror beside her bed, suddenly thinking that there was something wrong with her eyes.

  His hands and face were spotlessly clean, without any signs of bruising or swelling.

  "What's going on?" he couldn't help but exclaim.

  "You're asking me what's going on?"

  "Bailu snorted, 'When I came back at night, you were still so swollen that even Mr. Houston couldn't recognize you, but after a good sleep, you're completely fine now. And have you noticed your clothes have shrunk?'"

  Ailing looked in the mirror again and suddenly shouted: "How can this be, our Sheng Li Ming College uniforms are so expensive, but the quality is so poor, they actually shrink!"

  "Shrink?"

  Bailu stood in front of Ailing and said, "Take another look, is it shrinking? You were half a head shorter than me when you first came, now take another look."

  Ailing looked up and down at Berro, then looked back at herself, suddenly petrified.

  He found himself almost as tall as Bero.

  It wasn't until then that he realized his sleeves had obviously shrunk and his clothes had become tighter, not because the clothes had shrunk in the water, but because he himself had grown much taller.

  "It was just a matter of days before he grew from being half a head shorter than me to almost my height." Beru looked at Ailin with great interest and smiled, "You said you're more interesting than the monsters in the Beast Enclosure?"

  "I..."

  Ailin was completely speechless.

  He knew it was definitely the effect of Old Jin's mysterious bloodline power.

  Now he was thoroughly awake, and he could feel that after yesterday's practice, the places on his body that were painful to the touch like needles had only a faint numbness, and the extremely tired feeling had completely disappeared, replaced by a fine warm flow.

  He felt his whole body was once again filled with energy, and his physical strength seemed to be even stronger than yesterday!

  "Alright, stop spacing out. Anyway, you're not arrogant at all, even if you are a bit weird, I won't ask for protection fees from you." Looking at the stunned Ailin, Bero casually waved his hand, "Hurry up and get dressed, let's prepare to set off."

  "Where are we going? What kind of trouble are you getting us into now?" Eilin said subconsciously.

  Berol looked at Ailing with a conditioned reflex: "Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that today is the match between our Saint Dawn Academy and South Season Academy?"

  "A girl with a nervous disease? Ah, yes! Today is the additional match between our Saint Luminous Academy and Nanji Wind Academy!"

  Ailin suddenly came back to her senses, hastily putting on her clothes, but she soon discovered that the outer garment with little elasticity was already too tight to wear.

  "What should we do?" He asked Bello with some urgency.

  "Put mine on first." Berro casually tossed two pieces of clothing at Ailin, "You can exchange yours with the dorm teacher later."

  Ailin nodded her head in extreme gratitude.

  After a quick wash, he followed Berro out of the door like a gust of wind, bought something to eat at the nearest San Shi Hall, and then rushed to the competition venue, Dawn Arena, while eating.
