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

  "Where did that little dwarf go?"

  The crowded entrance of Sheng Li Ming College, red-haired Mo Si looked around in surprise.

  The white stone archway at the entrance of Sheng Li Ming College has many senior students, these volunteer senior students will introduce new students and lead them to their dormitories.

  As one of the oldest colleges in St. Lawrence University, Shengming College is not only old in architecture but also large in campus area. It takes at least forty minutes to walk from the "Ivy" and "Lilac" dormitory areas where freshmen live to the main gate, and new students who are unfamiliar with the campus can easily get lost.

  In Mos' view, a guy like Ailin from a small place would definitely make a fool of himself after seeing the true appearance of Saint Luminous Academy.

  So Moster and Ailin distanced themselves a bit, preparing to watch Ailin's joke, but what he didn't expect was that in the blink of an eye, Ailin had already disappeared.

  "Little sister, what's your name? Let me help you carry those things, okay?"

  "Little sister, shall I take you back to your dorm?"

  At the same time, Lin Luolan, who was even more beautiful than most girls, was surrounded by several senior students with shining eyes, and her face was already full of black lines, once again reaching the edge of an outburst.

  "This is the forest of thinkers!"

  "Sleeping Mermaid Statue"

  "The Beast Training Hall has arrived!"

  At this time, Ailin, holding a thick little book, was already walking on the road in Sheng Liming College, occasionally calling out one or two names, causing passersby to cast sideways glances.

  The small booklet in his hand was given to him by Old Gins, called "Sheng Liming College Guide". This booklet not only has a map of Sheng Liming College but also introduces many buildings and teachers of the college.

  "The Xiangpu Library, named after the fragrant reeds planted by the pond next to it. Due to its age, the floorboards, stairs and windows all creaked, so it was also habitually called the 'Creaking Library', finally arrived!"

  After nearly half an hour, Ailin finally arrived in front of the library that Old Gins said to arrive at first with the guidance of the map.

  This is an old wooden building surrounded by ponds on three sides, built on a raised earth mound. The surface of the wooden building is covered with green vines, and only a small nameplate stands at the entrance.

  As she stepped into this ancient all-wooden library, a short, bespectacled old man in black robes stood expressionlessly in front of Ailin.

  "Are you a freshman who just enrolled?"

  Glancing at the newborn badge hanging from Elin's chest, the old man in black robes said sternly: "This is a library, and it's not allowed to enter casually."

  Ailin nodded: "I want to get a visitor's pass and go in."

  The old man in black robes looked at Ailin and said: "New students only have the right to borrow books within the library, they cannot lend them out."

  "Got it."

  "Do not bring any sharp objects that may scratch books into the library. Trim your fingernails before entering."

  "Got it."

  "There must be no behavior that damages books; otherwise, there will be severe punishment. In serious cases, one may even be directly expelled from the college."

  "Got it."

  "No loud noise is allowed in the library, otherwise you will be expelled from the library. If you violate this rule multiple times, you will lose your qualification to enter the library forever."

  "Got it."

  “……”

  It wasn't until a whole hour later, after the old man in black robes had repeated the library's rules three times and talked about many irrelevant book-related matters, that he finally let Elrin go, looking satisfied. Elrin, who had been listening with a stunned expression, was then issued a reader's card, allowing her to enter this ancient library.

  "Indeed, it's Professor Mei, the super chatty librarian."

  As she walked up the creaky wooden stairs leading to the second floor of the library, Ailin finally rubbed her face and came back from a dazed state.

  "Detestable old Gins, so mysterious and secretive, not telling me what kind of blood power it is, let alone why it's placed in a dusty old library with such a nagging librarian!"

  "That's amazing!"

  Ailin, who was muttering to herself in her heart, had just walked up the creaky wooden stairs to the second floor of the library when she suddenly gasped and was thoroughly shocked.

  The entire second floor of the library was lined with row upon row of bookshelves that stretched all the way to the top, which couldn't be reached without moving a wooden ladder. The thick, dark brown bookshelves were neatly filled with books of various colors, forming an ocean of books.

  All the bookshelves and most of the books are obviously very old, some even have faded covers, but they are all extremely clean, without a speck of dust.

  The atmosphere inexplicably became somewhat solemn.

  Ailin wove through the rows of bookshelves, the entire library had four floors, he didn't continue upwards, but slowly searched, walking to a corner near the staircase leading to the third floor.

  A purple-bound book titled "On the Architectural Style of the Era of the Great Dragon Wars" lay quietly on the second-to-last shelf in this corner.

  At the moment Ailin pulled out this book, without any sign, a layer of tiny silver light spots suddenly appeared in the wooden board under the bookshelf, and quickly gathered at the fingertips of Ailin's right hand.

  These dust-like silver light stars quickly formed five small crystal bodies like diamonds at the tip of Ailin's fingers.

  At the same time, five small marks also appeared on the fingertips of Elin's five fingers.

  It was just a flash, and five small crystals had already pierced Ailin's fingertips, while the five small light seals also disappeared at the same time.

  Less than one second later.

  Even if someone were to walk up behind him, they wouldn't have time to notice the change in Eilin's fingertips as he pulled out this book.

  Bang!

  Ailin hadn't even reacted yet, but his heart was already like it had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, causing his body to jump involuntarily.

  "Is this the fusion of Bloodline Power?"

  In the moment when both hands unconsciously pressed towards his own heart, Ailin came to himself, and his heart simultaneously began to beat violently again.

  Bang! Bang!...

  As his heart pounded violently, he saw that the muscles on the outside of his body were also trembling like waves. The fresh blood in his body seemed to have suddenly become many times heavier, pressing down on his body until it started to bend downwards.

  If this continues, my heart will jump out and crack... won't I die?

  Ailin felt indescribably uncomfortable.

  But in the next second, his childish face was filled with confidence and a look of not giving up, his hands left his chest, tightly clenched into fists.

  "Come on! Whatever bloodline power it is, merge with me obediently!"

  Ailin's body kept trembling, but his body, on the other hand, straightened up little by little.

  It wasn't until much later that the intense heartbeat stopped, but it seemed like the blood in his body was still very heavy. For some reason, he had a strange intuition that moving around would make the blood flow faster and feel lighter, which began to take over his body.

  "How about it? Still not fully assimilated yet?"

  With a determined look, Ailin put down the book in his hand and tried to take a few steps. Feeling a bit more comfortable, he started walking quickly and didn't stop until he had walked out of the creaking library building and stairs, starting to run along the shaded path.

  "That's it? You've just obediently merged without a fight?"

  It was just a few minutes of continuous running, and when Elin started to sweat profusely, she felt that all the uncomfortable feelings in her body had disappeared, and her heartbeat had also fully recovered.

  After walking slowly forward for a while and catching his breath, he swung his fists a few times and felt that his body was no different from before.

  "Is this bloodline power too weak or does it only take effect after becoming a practitioner?"

  After muttering to herself for a few moments, Ailin found that the front was already filled with rows of shops, and many salespeople dressed in bright clothes were actively soliciting business.

  Behind the hundreds of shops that are scattered all over the place, there is a quiet and secluded park that stretches as far as the eye can see.

  "It's a commercial street!"

  Ailing suddenly realized that she had inadvertently run into the only commercial street in Sheng Liming College.

  The entire city of Saint-Laurent is built on a mountain, and the College of Sainte-Lumiere is located on a gentle slope halfway up the eastern side of the mountain. The commercial street runs through the center of the college, adjacent to the largest park in the college: "Goddess Park".

  "Goddess Park" is named after a type of white tulip called "Goddess" that is planted in large quantities throughout the park.

  "How come there are so many people?"

  As she unconsciously sized up the commercial street of the college town, which seemed even bigger than Bicolour Town, Ailing saw that one of the shops was surrounded by a large crowd, and her curiosity was piqued. She couldn't help but walk over.

  With great difficulty, she squeezed through the surging crowd and almost fell to the ground as soon as she saw the scene in front of her.

  This is a store with a sign that reads "Super Giant Pork Chop". At the entrance, there are several fat men who have eaten to the point of almost vomiting, but they are still holding onto their golden fried pork chops and eating voraciously.

  "Is this fried pork chop so delicious? You've already eaten it like that and you still want to eat?"

  Ailing, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, was immediately surrounded by some students who had overheard her and began to explain: "This store is open for the first time today. The boss said that as long as you can eat ten pieces in one breath, it's free."

  "It was like this." Elrington suddenly enlightened and eager to try: "Can anyone participate?"

  "Do you also want to participate?"

  "Stop dreaming, one piece is bigger than your face, it's impossible to eat ten pieces in one breath. So far the most anyone has eaten is seven pieces. And if you can't finish, you still have to pay for the pork chops you've eaten."

  "Right, don't be deceived, it's fundamentally impossible to succeed, this boss is clearly cheating ignorant young people."

  In such a voice, Ailin stretched out her hand and gestured, feeling that those pork chops were indeed very big.

  Just then, several pieces of pork chops were brought out.

  "Super delicious giant pork chop! Don't miss it when you walk by!"

  "Huge portions, truly a super giant golden pork chop! Whoever can finish ten pieces will get everything for free!"

  The red-faced, white-coated boss also started shouting loudly, attracting more students from Sheng Li Ming College.

  "Uh..."

  The pungent smell of oil instantly caused the faces of those challengers who were already on the verge of vomiting to turn white, and they retreated in defeat. Two of them even squeezed out of the crowd and ran to the side of the street, vomiting loudly.

  Ailin felt a little schadenfreude, but just as the intense fragrance flooded into his nostrils, a completely spontaneous tremor spread from the depths of his body, and he could even feel that all the muscles in his body had become extremely small particles, shaking and rubbing against each other.

  A feeling as if he had been starving for several days and nights, starving to the point of extreme panic, completely occupied his consciousness.

  In the next instant, his whole body began to ache and his legs trembled incessantly.

  "Gulp", a loud swallowing sound was heard.

  "May I try?"

  Ailin's eyes were fixed on those golden fried pork chops and couldn't move away.

  "Alright." Seeing another challenger appear, and still a young boy so thin, the boss's face lit up with excitement, "Anyone can try, as long as you eat ten pieces, it's free, but you have to eat all ten in one breath! My super giant pork chop is really fragrant, crispy, and juicy..."

  The boss was speaking with great enthusiasm, but then a sudden gasp of cold air echoed through the room.

  "It's nine o'clock... it's already nine o'clock..."

  "Wow, is this guy a pure giant bloodline or something? He can eat so much?"

  The boss turned his head and almost went crazy, but in the blink of an eye, the pork chops beside him had been swept away by Ailin, who still looked unsatisfied with her bulging belly.

  "This classmate has a good appetite." The boss, who had come back to his senses, patted Ailin's shoulder with great meaning and smiled, "Very promising, huh? You ate nine pieces in one go. Since that's the case, then eat the tenth piece too. After you finish this piece, it's free."

  As he spoke, he bent down and took out the tenth pork chop from behind.

  "What...?"

  "Is this pork chop?! Does this even count as a pork chop?!"

  "You're being unreasonable!"

  "Scoundrel!"

  The surroundings fell silent for a second before erupting into a torrent of furious curses.

  The boss brought out a super-large pork chop that was several times larger than the previous nine pieces combined, it's almost half a pig.

  "Haha, I didn't say that all the pork chops are the same size, how can you count as cheating." The boss was unusually pleased, "And my small business is not easy to operate, everyone should understand a little bit."

  "How can you eat all this?!"

  But half a minute later, his incredulous cry echoed through the business street.

  Under the gaze of countless unbelievable eyes, Ailin finished that super huge pork chop, then rubbed his bulging belly and said thank you to the boss who looked like a foolish child. Then he said another sentence that almost made everyone around him faint, "Huh, where are my feet? I can't see my feet."
