Wushan Town, in the Baroque family mansion.

  Hogg had just finished lunch and was lounging in a recliner outside the living room, casually browsing through books.

  Only two figures quickly entered the mansion, it was Lin Lei and Hillman who had rushed back from Fenley City at high speed. At this moment, Lin Lei and Hillman still had an uncontrollable excitement on their faces, and Lin Lei even shouted from a distance: "Father, Im back."

  "Lord Hogarth." Hilman was also very excited.

  Hog looked up and saw the excited expressions of Lin Lei and Hillman, and he had a premonition in his heart. He immediately stood up, looking at Lin Lei and Hillman, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "How was the magic test?"

  The Baroque family has been silent for too long, and this ancient family also urgently needs a great person to restore the glory of the family!

  "Herr Hoggu, Ernst College, its Ernst College, Lin Lei was admitted to Ernst College!" Hillman exclaimed excitedly.

  Hog was petrified, his mind as blank as if he had been deprived of oxygen.

  "Lord Hogarth?" Hilman called out twice.

  Hog, who was gradually regaining his composure, stared at Hillman with a look of incredulity and asked in a hurried tone, "Ernst, you mean Ernst Academy?" At this moment, Hogs eyes were wide with astonishment.

  "Dad, this is the admission letter from Ernst Academy." Lin Lei directly handed the red envelope to his father, who was stunned for a moment before quickly taking the red envelope and tearing it open, holding his breath as he carefully read the admission notice inside.

  Those bright red names - Ernst College and Lin Lei.

  "Haha, hahaha! Our ancestors of the Baroque family, our family has hope now!" Hog suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, his whole body shaking with laughter, tears streaming down his face. "Our Baroque family has hope now!"

  Those maniacal bursts of laughter and those falling tears left Lin Lei stunned.

  "Father." Lin Lei seemed afraid of disturbing his father and called out softly.

  Lin Lei had never seen his father so frantic before, and the tears that flowed down made Lin Leis heart tremble.

  Kanaya Hiri also came over at this time, and he was also shocked by Hogs reaction. At this moment, Hiri had no idea what had happened.

  Huo Ge took a deep breath and looked at Lin Lei, his eyes filled with extreme excitement: "Good, good."

  "Hillman, Uncle Shili!" Hogg looked at the two of them, "Tonight Im going to have a big feast, hurry up and get ready. Today Im happy, extremely happy. With such a son, I can die with peace of mind for the ancestors of the Baruk family."

  "Yes, Lord Hogg." Both Hillman and Shiri replied.

  "Squeak~~" Suddenly, Little Shadow Mouse Bibi jumped out of Lin Leis arms and stood on his shoulder, staring at Hog with anger in her small eyes.

  Lin Lei sensed the message transmitted by Xiao Yings soul and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  Originally, Xiaoying Mouse was sleeping soundly in his own arms, but just now Hoggs loud laughter woke him up. Xiaoying Mouse slept a lot when he was a child and hated it the most when others woke him up, so at this time he naturally became very angry.

  "Shadow mouse, Demon Shadow Mouse?" Hog saw Xiao Yings face suddenly change.

  "Father." Lin Lei feared his father would take action and hastily said, "Xiao Ying has already formed a soul contract with me."

  Hog was stunned as if struck by lightning and remained dazed for a while: "You, you tamed the Shadow Mouse?"

  Two conditions for subduing a demon beast: 1. Make the demon beast submit; 2. Set up a Soul Contract magic array.

  Lin Leis strength was naturally clear to Huo Ge, it was very weak. And the weakest of the Demon Beast Shadow Mouse were all level three. How could Lin Lei possibly set up a Soul Contract Magic Array, it was simply impossible.

  "Yes, Father, I have subdued him." Lin Lei said solemnly.

  Hog felt that his own son was no longer the same as he used to know. Completely different!

  "Hogarth, sir, Lin Lei really tamed that Shadow Mouse. I saw it with my own eyes when he fed it wild rabbit and mountain chicken. Thats the lovely creature Lin Lei has been feeding these days," Hillman explained beside him.

  "Raised animal?" Hogg suddenly remembered, staring at Lin Lei in disbelief, "Demon Beast Shadow Mouse, is it the lovely creature you raised in the abandoned hut in the backyard?"

  Lin Lei nodded honestly.

  Hog was at a loss for words, how could such adorable creatures be demonic beasts?

  Although he was puzzled as to how Lin Lei had formed a soul contract with Xiao Ying, Huo Ke wasnt in a hurry. At this moment, his mood was extremely good.

  "Alright, lets not talk about this anymore. Uncle Shili, Hilman, you bring some guards and hurry up to prepare. Tonight, Im going to hold a grand feast." Hog said with a loud laugh, at this moment Hogs laughter was full of confidence.

  Lin Lei looked at his father, from memory to now, Lin Lei had never seen his father smile so happily.

  ******

  That night.

  The Baruk family was in a lively atmosphere, and even the guards of the family, who were more than a dozen, and their families were invited. Five tables were arranged in the empty space in front of the Baruk familys mansion, and the whole Baruk familys residence was filled with laughter.

  "Delicious, delicious." Little Wotton grabbed this and that, eating with great excitement.

  "Congratulations, Young Master Lin Lei, on your admission to Ernst Academy. You will definitely become a great and powerful magician in the future." A family guard smiled and congratulated Lin Lei.

  At the dinner party, Lin Lei was the protagonist.

  When it was learned that Lin Lei would be entering Ernst College, everyone got excited. Its easy to imagine that once you step into Ernst College, youre on a smooth path. The future Lin Lei will definitely not be contained in the small town of Wuyi.

  "Brother, theyre all toasting you, Ill join in too." Little Worton picked up his juice cup.

  Lin Lei looked at Xiao Wottons greasy hand and couldnt help but laugh. However, he still raised his juice cup and clinked it against Xiao Wottons with a loud "clink".

  "Come on, brothers, lets drink." Lin Lei also smiled and raised his glass.

  ……

  In the dead of night, the only two people in the Baroque familys ancestral hall were Lin Lei and Huo Ge.

  The temples doors were closed, and the entire temple was lit up with a row of candles, making it warmer inside. At this time, Hog looked at the row of spirit tablets in front of the temple and said in a low voice: "Lin Lei, since the birth of the fifth Dragon Blood Warrior, my Baruk family has been declining generation after generation, and even the heirloom of my Baruk family was sold... Every time I think of this, I feel extremely ashamed. A proud Dragon Blood Warrior family!"

  Lin Lei stood silently behind him.

  He also felt ashamed.

  The ancient family that has been passed down for over 5,000 years is also the Dragon Blood Warrior Family. Lin Lei felt proud in his heart. But now it has fallen to the point where even the family heirloom is gone.

  "Huo Le." Hog turned abruptly, looking solemnly at Lin Lei, "From today on, I will no longer regard you as a child, but as the future pillar of my Baroque family! The future of the family is now in your hands!"

  "Yes, Father." Lin Lei nodded firmly.

  "Wait a minute, Ill go get something." Hogg suddenly turned around and walked into the secret room inside the temple. Just a moment later, Hogg came out with a book in his hand, "Lin Lei, take it back and study it carefully, memorize everything for me."

  "What is this?"

  Lin Lei took over the book in confusion, there were no words on the surface of the book, but when he flipped through it, the first page had four big characters - Dragon Blood Secret Classics.
