Behind Ernst College, a quiet piece of land.

  Lin Lei sat cross-legged by the stream, listening to the gurgling sound of the water, and naturally entered a meditative state. The earth elements and wind elements around him were so clear and visible that everything within ten or more meters around Lin Lei was unprecedentedly clear.

  The earth element and wind element from the limbs and bones enter the body, and the muscles, tendons and internal organs in the body are slowly absorbing the nourishment of the earth element and wind element. The physical quality is steadily improving at an extremely slow pace.

  There are still a large number of earth elements and wind elements that have been refined and purified, and finally gathered in the 'Middle Dantian' at the center of the chest.

  "Gurgling~~~~" The sound of the brook flowing continuously.

  Next to Xiaoying Mouse 'Bibi' is tearing at a wild chicken, what a peaceful and serene picture, this scene can be painted.

  However, at this quiet moment, inside the Ernst Academy it was very lively. The thousands of students from the entire academy, a large number of magic teachers, and even many big shots from outside had all entered the Ernst Academy to watch the battle.

  Age group competition

  Students of Ernst Academy are all prodigies!

  Each of the arena matches was extremely exciting, with the first-year students' competition being a back-and-forth exchange of fireballs, lightning bolts, and wind blades. The third- and fourth-year students' competitions were even more thrilling, with various auxiliary magic spells and area-of-effect attacks, such as Shattered Stone, which summoned dozens or even hundreds of massive boulders to come crashing down, and lightning bolts that struck repeatedly without pause.

  As for the fifth and sixth grade competitions, they were even more astonishing.

  Various dazzling magic appeared one after another, and the terrifying explosion sounds continued uninterrupted. The students watching below cheered in waves, and the atmosphere reached its peak. Almost everyone in the entire academy gathered here.

  ……

  The age group competition lasted for almost a month, which was also the most lively and craziest month in the entire Ernst Academy. During this period of time, Lin Lei only occasionally watched some matches of grade 5 and grade 6, while spending most of his time alone, quietly cultivating himself.

  "This match also requires that one cannot intentionally put others in a deadly situation. Is this kind of restrictive match still called a match?"

  Under the influence of Deling Kurvate, Lin Lei also disdained this kind of flashy competition.

  "Lin Lei, your current task is to cultivate and accumulate strength properly. As for combat experience, wait until you reach the fifth level of magic, then enter the edge of the Magic Beast Mountains for a real trial by fire." Delin Kowert advised Lin Lei.

  ******

  Waldorf Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in the internal consumption places of Ernst College, is invited by Yale today. The four brothers from Room 1987 had dinner together at Waldorf Hotel.

  First floor of Howard Plaza Hotel.

  The hotel's floor shines like a mirror, and a row of beautiful female staff stand respectfully there, ready to take orders at any time.

  The Huade Hotel has many men and women wearing student uniforms, and most of the people who can afford to consume here have relatively high economic strength. A casual table of dishes costs dozens of gold coins. If it were Lin Lei, he couldn't afford to spend that much.

  The grade competition has just ended, and the students in the hotel are mostly talking about the grade competition. Most of them here are young people, but there is one table with four children.

  "This time the grade competition is just unlucky, it's a pity, if I was a little bit better, I would have entered the semifinals. Maybe I could have gotten one of the top three places." Reno said discontentedly, among the four brothers, Reno is the youngest, and also the most proud and confident one.

  Yale smiled and said: "It's a pity, I didn't expect that in the end Lando got the first place."

  George smiled and didn't say much more.

  George is a good old man who almost never offends anyone.

  "Rand? Ah, yes! I've heard you guys mention him before. Isn't he the one with super affinity and spiritual power among our new batch of students?" Lin Lei actually remembered the name 'Rand'.

  George smiled and nodded, "Right, it's him. He was originally talented, and before he even started training, his innate spiritual power already met the requirements of a second-level magician. This year was just accumulating enough magical power. With the strength of a second-level magician, getting first place in the first-grade arena is not difficult."

  "What's talent alone? Is he better than our school's number one genius 'Dixie'? Yale curled his lip in disdain. "I especially look down on that Lander, all he did was get first place in the freshman tournament. Lin Lei, didn't you see it? The smug look on his face after getting first place. I don't know what he'd be like if he got first place in the fifth or sixth grade tournament."

  The higher the magician goes, the more difficult it is to cultivate.

  So the entire Ernst Academy has thousands of students, mostly in higher grades, and the competition for the arena is getting more and more intense as the grade gets higher.

  Renault also nodded and said, "I don't like him either. He's the top freshman in our college, 'Dixie' of the third year, what kind of demeanor did he show after winning first place in the third-year arena? The gap between them is too big. And our first-year number one isn't him, Lande."

  "Right, Old Three, you didn't participate, if you had participated, hmm." Yale hummed and said.

  A group of young people also have a ranking, Yale, George, Lin Lei and Reno are lined up in order. When the three are close, they call each other 'old two' and 'old three'.

  "Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

  Lin Lei, Yale and the other three turned their heads to look, only to see four young men walking down from the second floor staircase of the Howard Hotel. The blond-haired boy at the front gazed coldly at Lin Lei and his companions.

  "Ah, it's you, Rand," Yale said lazily. "What were we talking about? Didn't you hear?"

  Lin Lei couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart.

  This person from Yale is fearless and also has a thick skin.

  "Hmph, don't think I didn't hear that." Lando said coldly.

  The brown-haired youth beside Lando also snickered and said in a haughty tone, "Lando, don't bother with these four good-for-nothings. It's not worth it. Rayno, what are you looking at? Can't accept losing the arena match?"

  Renault stared at the brown-haired youth, curling his lip in disdain: "What are you, just lucky to have won once against me? What's there to be proud of?"

  The young man with brown hair turned pale.

  "Alright Lander, let's just say we were wrong about you and leave it at that," George said with a smile.

  "George, shut up, you don't have the right to speak here." Lander glared at Yale, "Yale, last time at Xiang Yu Tree Bar, I didn't like your arrogant attitude. This time you're still being arrogant with me, if you've got the guts, let's compete in a fighting match, why don't you dare?"

  Lande couldn't help but smile triumphantly several times as he spoke.

  Yale was somewhat annoyed, but his strength was indeed inferior to others.

  At this moment, everyone else in the hotel noticed these two parties. Many senior students of Ernst Academy stood up and watched them with great interest. These two parties were obviously just children around ten years old.

  "That blond kid I know, named Lande, was first in the freshman tournament, and his future achievements probably won't be low either."

  "That brown-haired kid next to him, who seems to be called Lysen, was third in the first-year arena match, I know him too. It looks like Lande and his group have the upper hand in terms of strength, this is getting interesting."

  This group of fifth and sixth-level mages chatted with each other, all paying attention to both sides.

  Lan De was being watched by others, especially when he heard that he was the first in the freshman class's tournament, and his face couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride. At the same time, he looked at Lin Lei and the others with an increasingly disdainful gaze.

  "Hey." Lander glanced at the Lin Lei Four Brothers' table, "Fruit juice? You guys still drink fruit juice? Ah, Yale, I'm really embarrassed for you. Our dormitory's four brothers have all switched to 'Kalefar'. You guys are still drinking fruit juice."

  Lin Lei saw Lander's expression and her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  "Rande, we four brothers are eating here, you get a little further away." Lin Lei's face sank, coldly staring at the four men.

  If it were during their own cultivation, any wild beasts that disturbed them would have been killed directly.

  "Oh, and there's another one." Lander's eyes lit up, staring at Lin Lei, "Yale has a dormitory with someone like you, how come I never knew?"

  Lin Lei's eyes turned cold.

  The whole person was like a swift rabbit, rushing out at extreme speed. Lander's eyes widened involuntarily: "You——" Before Lander could react, Lin Lei grabbed Lander's neck with one hand and suspended him in mid-air using only his arm strength.

  "Uh, ah, ah......" At this moment, Rand's throat couldn't make a sound, and his eyes were full of terror.

  Lin Lei's cold and indifferent eyes stared at Lande, whose heart was filled with terror, feeling that he could be killed at any moment.

  At this moment, Lin Lei felt the Dragon Blood Warrior's bloodline burning within him, and that bloodthirsty feeling rose up again. Lin Lei couldn't help but furrow his brow, telling himself in his heart: "This is Ernst Academy, can't kill people for no reason."

  The three students next to Land were also frightened at this time.

  "Get out."

  Lin Lei swung his arm and Lander was thrown aside like a sandbag and slammed to the ground.
