Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. Its already February, and many trees on Wushan Mountain have sprouted new buds. A hint of spring has quietly arrived.

  Under an ancient tree.

  Lin Lei sat cross-legged, cultivating his magical powers through meditation.

  Lin Lei, who had entered a meditative state, clearly felt that his body was surrounded by a large number of yellow and green light spots. These two types of light spots were constantly entering his body from all parts, passing through his limbs and joints, being purified and finally gathering at the Zhong Dantian in the center of his chest.

  Only in the middle of Zhong Dan Tian, there is a filling of yellowish-brown thin fog and green thin fog.

  This yellowish-brown thin fog is the earth-based magical power, while the greenish-blue thin fog is the wind-based magical power.

  "Ah." Slowly exhaling a breath of air, Lin Lei recovered from his meditative state.

  Dellin Kowert, dressed in a white long robe, sat cross-legged on the ground with a smile, looking at the surrounding scenery. Seeing Lin Lei wake up, he couldnt help but laugh and say: "Lin Lei, youre leaving for Ernst Academy tomorrow, yet youre still working so hard today."

  Lin Lei smiled and said, "De Lin grandpa, didnt you say that the strong are those who cultivate diligently every day, never relaxing for a moment. Long-term cultivation is what brings astonishing strength."

  "Good boy, youve taught me a thing or two." Derrick Cawthorne said with a laugh.

  "Heh heh." Lin Lei smiled slyly.

  "Squeak!" A black shadowy figure suddenly appeared in the distance, and when it reappeared, it was already on Lin Leis shoulder. It was Shadow Mouse Bibi. Little Bibi was now baring its teeth at Lin Lei while pointing at a dead wild rabbit on the ground.

  Lin Lei took one look at Xiaobeis expression and knew.

  "Want me to help you roast?" Lin Lei said with a smile.

  Babe nodded repeatedly.

  "Lin Lei." De Lin Ke Wo Te mentally transmitted, "This little Shadow Mouse is really strange enough, its been several months, but looking at its body shape, there isnt a single bit of growth, during the infant stage it should be growing very obviously."

  "I dont understand this either." Lin Lei shook his head.

  The body shape of Shadow Mouse Bebi is not visible for a long time, but the movement speed of Shadow Mouse Bebi itself has increased quite quickly.

  "Its really weird." Deling Kwovaw glanced at the little Shadow Mouse Bibi, who had no idea that a soul was sizing him up at this moment.

  "Its getting late, and we still have to do our evening training." Lin Lei stood up, grabbed the dead wild rabbit and headed down the mountain, with Delingkavo floating beside him, discontentedly saying: "Lin Lei, youre going to be a magician, why are you still doing warrior training?"

  Lin Lei smiled and said: "De Lin grandpa, I found that undergoing warrior training can improve willpower, and increased willpower can also enhance spiritual power."

  "This I naturally know," said Drellin Kordovar, disapprovingly. "That most primitive of trainings, increasing spiritual power at a snails pace, how can it compare to the meditation of mages?"

  Lin Lei stopped talking and remained silent.

  Engaging in warrior training can improve ones spiritual power, but this is just an excuse.

  Lin Leis reason for continuing to train as a warrior is: "In the future, if I have the opportunity to drink the blood of a living dragon, I can cultivate the Dragon Blood Secret Classic. Still need to exercise. This body is a container, and the fighting energy is wine. The body is very important. I lay the foundation early, and in the future, cultivating the Dragon Blood Secret Classic will be even faster."

  In fact, with Lin Leis elemental affinity, spending money every day to refine his magical power would only take a relatively short period of time.

  Most of the time is spent meditating and exercising spiritual power.

  But always thinking about exercising spiritual strength is also exhausting. A warriors training should be a kind of adjustment to rest.

  ……

  The next afternoon, many residents of Wushan Town gathered on the streets of the town. They were all there to see off Lin Lei. It was an absolute honor for Wushan Town to have a magician from Ernst Academy.

  The entire Yulan continent, Ernst Academy only recruits one hundred students a year.

  At this moment, Lin Lei was still in the Baroque familys mansion, and Hillman and a group of guards were outside the gate. In the front yard, there were only Hogg, Lin Lei, Worton, and the butler Shili.

  "Lin Lei, now that youve gone to Ernst Academy, youre officially a member of Ernst. Once you graduate from Ernst Academy, youll become a great and powerful magician! Before you go, your father wants to tell you..." On the eve of parting, Hogs heart was filled with words he wanted to say.

  "Hold on to the wishes of our Baroque ancestors for centuries, remember the shame of the Baroque family!"

  Hogs face turned slightly green.

  "After you graduate, you are at least a sixth-level magician. As long as you study hard and diligently, its not difficult to become a seventh-level magician. Plus, youre a dual-system magician! A seventh-level dual-system magician is absolutely a big shot in the Kingdom of Fenlay. You will have a complete grasp on reclaiming your familys heirloom treasure. If you cant reclaim it, even if I die, I wont forgive you." Hogg stared at Lin Lei intensely.

  "Even if I die, I wont forgive you!"

  This sentence made Lin Leis heart skip a beat.

  Before parting ways, this was Fathers last words to me.

  "Father, rest assured that as long as I live, I will definitely retrieve the treasure of our Baruk family. I swear!" Lin Lei stared into his fathers eyes and solemnly guaranteed, his clear eyes only showing determination.

  Hogs eyes lit up, and a powerful hand patted Lin Leis shoulder.

  "I believe you, son!"

  ……

  On the small road east of Wushan Town, Lin Lei turned back to look at the hundreds or thousands of hometown relatives who came to see him off, led by his father and younger brother Worton.

  "Goodbye, brother." Worten waved vigorously.

  Watching his father and younger brother, Lin Lei also waved his hand vigorously, his eyes slightly red.

  "Father, Worton." Lin Leis heart was filled with reluctance.

  From young to old, Lin Lei has never truly left home for a long time. This time, the time away from home will be very long. At this moment, even the shadow mouse Bibi is quietly on Lin Leis shoulder, seemingly also knowing that Lin Lei is not in a good mood at the moment. Beside him, Deling Kwovar, who exists in the form of a soul spirit, is also looking at Lin Lei with encouraging eyes.

  "Lin Lei, lets go," Hillman said, occasionally there would be robbers on the way, and Hillman was also protecting Lin Lei to the academy.

  Lin Lei reluctantly watched his loved ones, and finally resolutely turned around and stepped forward towards Ernst College.

  "Goodbye, my loved ones, goodbye, my hometown."

  In the year 9991 of the Jade Orchid calendar, nine-year-old Lin Lei set out with Xiao Yings mouse Bei Bei and Hilman, captain of the Baroque family guard, leaving their hometown of Wushan Town.
