Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Youngster! Thaumaturge...

  "Divine Contract! Spiritual Touch!"

  Jielan looked at Ailin who was excitedly shouting and suddenly stretched out her left hand, pointing to the center of Ailin's eyebrows.

  At the moment her ring finger and Ailin's brow center touched, a sparkling technique yuan particle beam of light burst forth, then transformed into a deep red flame that seeped into Ailin's brow center.

  Ailin's brow slightly ached, but in her mind, there suddenly seemed to be some clear images, all of which were every move Jialan made when she just cast the spell.

  "How did this happen?"

  "He suddenly exclaimed in surprise: 'Teacher, teacher, how did you make such a clear picture appear in my mind?'"

  "This technique's principle is to use spiritual power to stimulate some neurons in your eyes and brain, making the impression of what you just saw particularly deep. The effect will last for about twenty days or so. This technique can be used for learning, but originally it was used by some elite spiritual masters when executing tasks, in order to better remember things.

  Jialan looked at Ailin: "There are many types of techniques. Some techniques only pursue pure destructive power, while others can affect a person's spirit. Unique flames, fragrances, and slight stimulations from spiritual power can all influence the human body's neurons and senses. Therefore, the ways that high-level spiritual masters fight are also varied, with many being unimaginable. Any level of spiritual master cannot guarantee their own safety when executing tasks."

  Ailin nodded slightly. Just from what he had seen of his opponents, each one had a different way of fighting, not to mention those upper-class and elite mages.

  At this time, he somewhat understood why many people did not choose to be combat mages and become respected combat mages. In comparison, those mages who usually didn't have to go out on missions or to dangerous places might not gain much attention or respect, but at least their lives would be more secure.

  "Teacher, why don't you also give Mos a try?"

  After a nod, Ailin was quite righteous and didn't forget about Moss beside her, immediately looking at Jalan again.

  Morse felt envious and jealous of Galen just by looking at his expression, thinking that he had no chance.

  As expected, Galan shook his head and explained: "His giant bloodline is not suitable for my technique. An unsuitable technique will disperse one's energy and hinder a practitioner's development. In time, he will naturally find a more suitable teacher to guide him."

  "Good." Ailin looked very spirited, and excitedly asked: "Next, I just need to practice by myself according to the pictures left by the teacher?"

  "Yes." Galan imitated Elin's manner, waving his fist: "Come on, warrior. With your learning ability and the impression of twenty-odd days, it's enough for you to master these two things. At that time, you'll know whether you can really condense the Tao Yuan particles or if it was just an illusion caused by other reasons that opened your first Tao door."

  "Teacher Jialan, can I ask another question?" Ailin looked at Jialan who sat back down on the edge of the rooftop and hesitated for a moment before asking.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Why do you always like to wear that red scarf?" Ailin looked at Jialan and asked this question because in the pictures in his mind, Jialan's red scarf was always particularly bright.

  "This, ah..." Gillan's gaze drifted towards the distant sky, and she said softly, "It's something with some special significance, I suppose. In a person's lifetime, they will always encounter things that hold some special meaning to them, or things that need their protection."

  "I understand."

  Mos originally thought Ailin would be curious to ask about it, because he also heard that Jialan had a different story about the red scarf. However, Ailin just nodded and looked at the hospital opposite Jialan: "Teacher, you've been around this hospital all along, are you guarding the people inside?"

  "It can also be said that way." Galan smiled, "Our Saint Dawn Academy's Medical Department is also very strong throughout the kingdom, so we often receive some powerful mages from other places who cannot be treated elsewhere. Speaking of protection... actually, all mages in our Aichi Kingdom have a final mission, which is to protect our kingdom. Every mage sent here has fought for their mission and they are the most respectable people and the most precious treasure of our Aichi Kingdom. I am protecting them here, which is also equivalent to fulfilling my mission, protecting this country."

  ……

  In the quiet ward, Chris was slowly doing a set of stretching exercises.

  Although she did it very slowly, after lying in bed for a long time, every muscle seemed to be completely stiffened. Now, every action is like softening and stretching the stiff muscles, which is a bit painful and requires great care, otherwise, it will accidentally get hurt again and affect recovery.

  There was a knock at the door, and Kristy, who had already broken out in a sweat on her forehead, stopped what she was doing and called out "come in", just as two slightly greenish faces appeared in her line of sight.

  "Are you Ailin?"

  She seemed a bit impressed and yet uncertain, stretched out her hand to point at Morse, then pointed at Ailing again, "And who is this?"

  "Ah..." Ailin said: "Kris, your face blindness is really too severe, you can't even recognize me again. I am Ailin, he is Mos, remember that, he has red hair."

  "I remember your voice." Chris smiled, "I knew it was you as soon as you spoke. What brings you here again today? I'll be able to leave in a few more days."

  "Have you all recovered? Can we start training again?" Ailin suddenly became excited, and immediately said: "This time we came mainly to see Mos go to the Iron Forest Academy. We happened to see a new student from the Golden Lion Academy named Siding Han and the duel with Kiro of the Iron Forest Academy. Those two people are too powerful! Mos said that Siding Han's strength and technique are particularly strong, and in the Sevenfold Gravity Pavilion, Wang Erde was blown away by one move. He also said that Kiro seems to be able to see through his opponent's next action, although at the time Siding Han and he ended up with a draw, but was beaten very badly. Mos thinks it's necessary to tell you first, so that you can have some defensive and targeted practice in advance."

  "In the Ironwood Academy's Power Cultivation Hall, one move defeated Flying King Erde, and even drew with Akane? Ailin spoke quickly, but didn't elaborate, however, Chris immediately grasped the key point, her expression suddenly becoming serious: 'Both strength and technique are exceptionally strong, and yet a newcomer... Could it be the Dragon Bloodline?'"

  Mo thought he had found a kindred spirit and was so excited that he almost cried: "I also think that Cedric Diggory is very likely to be the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, but I told Professor Hagrid, he just didn't believe me."

  "Does Akane seem like she can see through her opponent's next move?"

  "Yes, it seems like the opponent hasn't moved yet, but he already knows what technique the opponent will use and where their body will appear."

  "He might have mastered mind-reading skills."

  "Mind-reading?" Elin and Moss exchanged a glance.

  "A rare legendary technique that can only be mastered by those with a unique bloodline. It's a special bloodline technique." Chris furrowed her brow and said, "Just like being able to directly read the thoughts in someone's mind."

  "Even his own next move would be discovered ahead of time, how can he fight?" Moss's face turned white in an instant.

  "There are still some targeted methods, such as high-intensity continuous movement, using rapid and successive attacks like a storm, so that even if he knows the next move in an instant, he won't be able to keep up with each subsequent response." Chris nodded at Moss, "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have known about his ability during the competition, and if he had taken the initiative from the start, there would have been no way to deal with it."

  "No wonder Professor Houston said that even if she opens one less technique gate than others, others may not be her opponent!" Moss's mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound, and he admired Chris with all his heart.

  "We also went to God Shield Academy, but didn't see their team training." Elin chimed in: "Just saw a girl named Charlotte, she seems pretty strong too."

  "Charlotte? Have you guys seen her?" Kriss looked at Elin and Moss in surprise: "She's a freak from God Shield Academy, majoring in Physical Techniques just like Wang Erde, but she's way more powerful than him."

  "Is she the strongest in God Shield Academy then?" Ailin couldn't help but ask.

  "The strongest in the Shield Academy is their team captain, Ivan Fate." Chris said: "Last year, the Shield Academy relied solely on Charlotte's performance and made it to the national tournament with Ironwood Academy. However, they encountered Arbor College, who eventually took third place, in the first round of the national tournament. It seems that he didn't participate in the match due to the huge gap in strength, so no one knows what special bloodline or secret techniques he possesses, only that he should be the strongest in the Shield Academy team."

  "Is God Shield Academy this powerful?!" Moss was momentarily speechless.

  "Every enemy is powerful, and there are so many powerful enemies to defeat, so I can't relax for a single moment." Chris gazed out the window, as if she was saying this to herself.

  "Kurisu, if you're going out, let me practice with the school team instead?" Aileen was surprisingly enthusiastic; "Because I'll be joining the school team sooner or later and fighting alongside you guys! And I can also participate in your targeted training against God Shield Academy!"

  "Warrior! You're really spirited!" Chris smiled and said: "Well, in that case, you'd better work hard!"
