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

  At night, the twinkling starlight spilled over every corner of Saint Dawn Academy.

  The Aichi Kingdom is located in the Longxi Mountains at the southernmost tip of Doraest, and the Longxi Mountains themselves are the highest region on the continent of Doraest. Moreover, most towns in the Aichi Kingdom were built on mountains, so from the very beginning, the Aichi Kingdom had the title of being the kingdom closest to the sky.

  The closer you are to the sky, the more brilliant the starlight is at night.

  In most territories of the Aichi Kingdom, the stars in the night sky appear exceptionally large and bright, as if they can be plucked by hand.

  This "starry sky" is unique to Aichi Prefecture, so Aichi Prefecture has since been called the "Kingdom under the Starry Sky".

  In the eyes of many people in the Aichi kingdom, the stars are dazzling and eye-catching, seemingly within reach, but actually far away. The stars in this starry sky seem to be everyone's dream.

  In a secluded corner of Thinker's Stone Forest, Kris sat with her hands on her knees, panting nonstop.

  Sweat dripped down her sharp, pale chin one drop at a time into the mud beneath her.

  Anyone could see that she had reached her physical limit, but after a brief rest, she gritted her teeth and whispered out four words: "Let's do it again!"

  She started running again, jumping high into the air and reaching the highest point before her body suddenly twisted and exerted force, amazingly making several extremely fast dodging movements in mid-air, then landing steadily, crouching down, and taking a few more steps forward like an arrow.

  When her figure stopped again, she finally couldn't support herself and fell backwards to the ground, exhausted.

  Bitter sweat flowed into her eyes and mouth, but she, lying on the ground, still clenched her fists towards the starry sky and whispered to herself: "I must win."

  ……

  The woods surrounding the Evergreen Ivy Cottage District are also the best training grounds for newborns.

  A tree stands tall in the sky, naturally spaced out from others, creating independent spaces that avoid disturbance from others. Many of the lawns between the woods have been trampled into hard mud with no grass growing.

  Huston, the little book teacher, can only be described as "perverted" for freshmen. Moreover, most freshmen are not willing to fall behind and don't want to be inferior to others. Therefore, in the starry sky, amidst the trees, there is a faint sound of "Fire Blast Fist... Fire Blast Fist" echoing non-stop.

  Ailin also stood in one of the empty spaces between the trees.

  Sometimes when a person doesn't know too many things, they won't be in such a hurry to learn about something, and instead will focus more on what's right in front of them.

  At this time, he had already determined that the bloodline Old Gins let him merge with was absolutely not something of poor quality.

  Before that, he had already completed all the basic exercises arranged by Houston. In the past, he might not have been able to finish even half of them and would have collapsed from exhaustion.

  Although he is also very tired now, his whole body is soaked in sweat, but he clearly feels his progress. Under the grinding of such basic exercises, he can even feel that there is a thread of extremely fine heat flowing through every corner of his body, in addition to the soreness.

  It's as if every tiny molecule in your body is storing up more and more power, giving you an increasingly strong physical sensation.

  Even in Korolinn Town, he had already known from Old Jin's repeated explanations that the power of a practitioner comes from the physical strength and technique, and the physical strength is composed of two parts: one part is the power accumulated in every small molecule inside the body, and the other part is the power of spiritual will.

  He was also very clear that through daily diet and training, the power accumulated in every small molecule of his body would increase, but he was even more certain that without the fusion of the strange bloodline into his own body, his progress would not be possible so quickly.

  "The most formidable person in Shengli Ming College, and also the one who cultivates the most bitterly... Try Whirlwind Fierce again."

  The rest of the majority of newborns can't master "Flame Fist", he directly used it in class, now has practiced very pure, but don't know why, thinking of that "god-like girl", he naturally gave up the idea of going back to rest immediately, and started practicing "Whirlwind Fierce".

  "Whirlwind is fierce!"

  With a low hum, his hands suddenly shot forward like lightning, leaving behind several afterimages.

  A loud whooshing sound, two air currents swept across his face, shattering several leaves that had just fallen.

  "More powerful than Flame Fist's might, and faster too! Only it's also more difficult!"

  In the instant he made his move, Ailin knew he had already made a mistake. Compared to when he was in class, his technique seemed to have gathered too violently, and not only did it fail to form ten spinning wind whips, but two uncontrolled gusts of wind exploded from his hands, causing his bones to feel like they were about to shatter, the pain unbearable.

  "Come again!"

  But he didn't stop, shaking his hand after that and continuing to practice with a disgruntled look.

  Once, twice, three times, four times.... she didn't even know how many times she had practiced, Ailin's whole body was covered in thick sweat, and her ten fingers seemed to be on the verge of splitting open.

  His physical strength had reached its limit, and his consciousness was becoming somewhat dizzy. He could even hear his own rapid heartbeat and heavy breathing.

  I really want to lie down and sleep... but it seems like I'm about to succeed...

  "It's no use! I give up!"

  "Whirlwind!"

  Suddenly, he who seemed unable to straighten his body again straightened up, stretched out his hands suddenly.

  Hmph!

  Ten spinning wind whips suddenly appeared in front of him, emitting a breaking sound that was completely different from before.

  "Haha, succeeded, I'm awesome!"

  At the sight of these ten swirling wind whips, Ailin, who had already reached his limit of exhaustion, could no longer hold on and let out a hearty laugh, stretching out both hands as he fell backwards, still reaching for the starry sky with his hands, occasionally twitching them, looking utterly ridiculous.

  ……

  A bat flew out of the giant forest surrounding the Ivy League building and into the shadow behind one of the buildings.

  A young teacher, Kate, whom Ailin had met while reporting, suddenly followed the bat silently and flew out from the top of a tree, landing on the roof of the school building covered with fallen leaves.

  Just as his feet and the roof came into contact, a gust of wind blew by, rolling up countless withered yellow leaves. Amidst the dancing leaves, Liszt's figure suddenly reappeared.

  Looking at Liszt who suddenly appeared, Kate didn't have the slightest surprised expression, and smiled softly saying: "Just now in the woods I thought it was you, otherwise I wouldn't have that feeling of being stared at and getting goosebumps."

  "Are you praising me or criticizing me?" Liszt scratched his hair and sat down lazily on the rooftop covered with yellow leaves, stretching his waist, "By the way, why did you also come to see these freshmen, especially Ailin's practice?"

  Kate coughed lightly: "Two reasons, one is that the principal asked me to lead the team for this year's college competition, and another reason is that Ailing is someone you pay special attention to, so I must take a closer look."

  "It turns out that this year's inter-academy competition is led by you, which means you also have a direct say in selecting new students at the reporting station." Li Si stroked his chin, "It seems that all of you can't sit still either. Indeed, it's true that our performance has been too poor in recent years. Not only do others think that Saint Luminous Academy doesn't have any formidable figures anymore, but even our own students are about to forget what true glory and courage are, and soon they'll think there's no difference between ordinary mages and those who truly dare to fight."

  "Your eyes have always been good." Kate sat down beside Liszt, saying seriously: "Ordinary students can't learn Houston's Whirlwind at all, let alone master it in one day. Moreover, Houston's Whirlwind has never been publicly taught, and Ailing couldn't have come into contact with the Whirlwind before."

  "No need to say so much, I understand what you mean." Liszt glanced at Kate and said directly: "From entering the college to now, his figure has grown taller, so it's either some hidden bloodline or some kind of blood mutation."

  "I don't see any obvious characteristics of the Bloodline on him, I've heard he's particularly good at eating, but it doesn't seem like a pure Giant Bloodline." Kate looked into Lister's eyes: "Have you found anything?"

  Liszt smiled and shook his head: "But even if it's not some mysterious bloodline, at least it's a very interesting one. And judging from his performance, he seems to understand the benefits of not exposing his bloodline's power, which is something I don't need to teach him."

  "You've also seen his recent practice, and he indeed has the kind of courage to risk his life. Since you're leading the team for this year's college tournament, I can only tell you not to disappoint me." After shaking his head, Liszt looked up at the surrounding giant forest again and said: "Your luck is really good, there are actually two more people in here who will master Whirlwind Frenzy within a day or two. Among a group of students, three such figures have emerged, if this were to happen in another college, those guys would be grinning from ear to ear."

  Liszt still had a lazy and indifferent expression, but Kate was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief: "Three?"

  "That high-purity bloodline of yours, and that glasses-wearing kid." Liszt smiled slightly, "Looks like you still need to work harder."

  "Lin Luolan? Beiro?" Kate's eyes widened, he thought Lin Luolan having amazing leadership skills was nothing, after all, even with very little spiritual bloodline, many aspects of ability would be much higher than ordinary people, let alone Lin Luolan who obviously had a high-level spiritual bloodline. But that Beiro, he really hadn't expected. So he couldn't help but look at Lister and say: "That easily excited troublemaker freshman? He's also one of the rare geniuses? Even more formidable than Quin family's red-haired kid?"

  "You're underestimating him." Liszt smiled: "He's the only newcomer who successfully sneaked into the Beast Arena. I don't know what he's thinking in his head, but he clearly has quite some ambition."

  "He's the one who snuck into the giant beast arena? So his injury was because..." Kate's eyes lit up instantly.

  Liszt stood up and stretched his waist, "It's good to know that there are so many interesting little guys. This time in the competition, don't make me too disappointed."

  "What does this have to do with anything? They're all still newborns." Kate was stunned.

  "What does being a new student have to do with anything?" Liszt glanced at him, "What's the relationship between strength and weakness and whether or not you're a new student?"

  Kate was thoroughly stunned.

  "Dare not take action, dare not have expectations, then there will be no hope."

  Liszt lazily waved his hand and turned to leave: "If there really are newcomers who can participate in this kind of competition, that would be truly interesting."

  "I have one last question." Just as Liszt's figure was about to disappear on the rooftop, Kate suddenly remembered something and called out: "Since you also know that Berthold is extremely impulsive and prone to trouble, why did you still arrange for Aileen to be with him?"

  Liszt's figure suddenly disappeared, but the lazy voice came over: "As usual, the more restless and prone to trouble, the easier it is to suffer punishment, such students are often more powerful than ordinary students."
