A month later, the order of the head of the Jax family came: Kein immediately succeeded as the lord of Chell Castle, and during Kein's minority, his sister Jennie assisted in handling the affairs of the castle.

  "Lei Ge, are you leaving?"

  Zanni, Keen and Lambert were all staring at Lin Lei in shock.

  Ji'en succeeded as the lord of the city, with Zhan Ni assisting. At this moment, Zhan Ni's siblings were in their most relaxed state, and they both wanted to repay Lin Lei properly, but who would have thought that Lin Lei would say he wanted to leave the Red River City at this time?

  "Lei Ge." Zhan Ni's eyes were even slightly red.

  Lin Lei carried a heavy sword on his back, with BeiBei standing on his shoulder, and Hei Yun Cloud Leopard 'Hei Lu' by their side. Lin Lei smiled faintly: "In the bustling city of Chi Er County, my cultivation has been affected to some extent. I'm not going far, just to quietly cultivate alone for a while in that secluded valley outside Chi Er County."

  For Lin Lei.

  The most important thing is to cultivate, especially since Lin Lei is still making progress and has not yet encountered a bottleneck. At this time, it's even more necessary to take the opportunity to work harder at cultivation.

  The dragon blood warriors in the Baroque family have been practicing for decades and will dominate the world when they reach the holy realm.

  A master must be able to endure loneliness.

  "Mountain valley?" Jennie and Keane let out a sigh of relief.

  "Alright, I'll come and take a look at yours when I have time. That's all the help I can give you. From now on, it's up to you." Lin Lei said with a smile.

  Saw Jennie and Gino this brother and sister pair.

  Lin Lei sometimes thought of himself and Xiao Wotton, now he and Xiao Wotton no longer had parents.

  "I don't even know how Worton is doing now, I'll set off to see him once I grasp the next level of 'shi'." Lin Lei thought to himself.

  Lin Lei was very clear.

  Now Warton is studying at Aubrey College, and it's not necessary to disturb him at this time. Moreover, people can only grow faster when they rely on themselves.

  Once he is by Wharton's side, he may even hinder Wharton's growth.

  In the eastern part of Chui County, there is a range of green mountains. In an inconspicuous valley in the mountain range, Lin Lei built a wooden house and began his lonely cultivation here.

  At night, in the valley, there is a green lawn, and in front of the lawn, there is a lake.

  Lin Lei sat cross-legged on the grassy lawn by the lake, his eyes closed in quiet contemplation of nature. Beside him, a bonfire crackled and danced, casting flickering shadows on Lin Lei's face.

  Lin Lei could feel the heaviness of the earth, the gentleness of the wind, the flow of water, and the ferocity of fire... As a magician, his affinity for the elements of wood, wind, water, and fire was exceptionally high. Lin Lei's understanding of nature gave him an advantage far surpassing that of ordinary warriors.

  This is also the reason why the ancestor of the Baroque family, who used the heavy hammer, reached the holy realm only when he reached the state of 'lifting heavy as light', after all, warriors are more difficult to integrate into nature than magicians.

  "The 'thunderbolt' that lifts heavy as light, its explosive power is like a volcanic eruption. As for the so-called 'momentum', it's just the momentum of heaven and earth, fire and water, wind... "

  After being silent for a long time, Lin Lei suddenly understood.

  "That's just momentum, borrowing the power of heaven and earth around me. Beyond that all-encompassing momentum, what I'm pursuing now should be the most suitable path."

  In the dark of night, Lin Lei sat cross-legged on the lake shore and opened his eyes, which shone like stars in the sky.

  "Different weapons, different paths. The heavy sword, powerful and forceful! But the heavy sword has no edge, it doesn't rely on sharpness to win. Instead, it relies on its majestic and overwhelming thickness, its unmatched and unstoppable attack."

  Lin Lei's mind was vaguely enlightened.

  The way of cultivating this heavy sword is similar to the law of the earth.

  "The vastness of the earth, the boundlessness of the earth, the stability of the earth..." Lin Lei held that heavy black sword, but his heart was completely in sync with the pulse of the earth.

  The earth has its unique pulse, that kind of unique pulse rhythm that shocks the soul, generally only when one's perception of the earth reaches an extremely high level can they feel it.

  Lin Lei stood up.

  The whole person began to swing the black heavy sword quietly, and with Lin Lei's swinging of the black heavy sword, Lin Lei's entire person, whether in terms of footsteps or sword movements, entered a unique rhythm.

  It's a heart-pounding rhythm.

  "Ah."

  The black heavy sword seemed to have a weight of one million kilograms, heavily piercing through the air. Lin Lei wielded the black heavy sword, giving people the feeling that he was merged with the earth, and even just watching him practice his swordplay could make one feel a sense of thickness.

  "Hmph."

  Lin Lei's black heavy sword pierced the air, and several consecutive sonic booms rang out. Simply stabbing at the space, it actually produced several sonic booms. This was an unbelievable thing, because no matter how fast a weapon is, causing one sonic boom is already impressive. Causing several sonic booms is almost impossible.

  "Huh?" Lin Lei's eyes lit up instantly.

  With this distraction, Lin Lei immediately broke away from that wonderful feeling just now.

  "What just happened? I didn't use any internal energy, so why could this power be divided into rhythmic consecutive wave attacks?"

  Lin Lei began to think deeply in her heart.

  During cultivation, it's possible that at some point you'll suddenly enter a special state and achieve an extremely surprising effect. However, if you don't fully absorb and comprehend it, then you won't be able to summon it at will either.

  Lin Lei's task is to keep thinking and practicing constantly.

  Master everything perfectly!

  The sky is a brilliant blue, with not a speck of cloud in sight. A few white clouds drift lazily across the sky like beautiful silk, and the valley where Lin Lei lives is indeed serene.

  The wind blows and the lake water moves.

  Lin Lei was not practicing at this time, but was fishing in the valley. One can't always be practicing, if that's all one does, it will have a negative effect instead.

  Want to fish then go fishing, want to sleep then go to sleep.

  In harmony with heaven and earth, in perfect accord with nature.

  And when cultivating, efficiency will be extremely high.

  "Lei, big brother." A cheerful voice came from outside the valley. Lin Lei turned his head to look, and saw Zhan Ni riding a fine horse, with two elegant maids behind her. Those two maids obviously had good martial skills as well, their horse-riding movements were absolutely on par with regular knights.

  "Zhan Ni." Lin Lei put down his fishing rod and stood up.

  At this time, Beibei and Heilu were not there, the two demon beasts had entered the deep mountains to find some wild beasts. The mountain range where Lin Lei was located mostly had ordinary wild beasts, as for demon beasts, they were extremely rare.

  "Lei Ge, I've prepared some food for you." Zhan Ni took out a package from the horseback, which was tightly wrapped. "You must not be eating well here, come on, Lei Ge, have a good taste."

  Jenny unwrapped the package layer by layer, and inside was an iron box containing various dishes and rice.

  Lin Lei sniffed with his nose.

  "Ah, it really smells good." Lin Lei said with a smile.

  Jenny's face immediately flushed with excitement.

  Lin Lei sighed secretly, how could he not see through Jennie's thoughts? Jennie was exceptional in every way, be it appearance or personality. However, after going through so much, Lin Lei found it difficult to open the door to his innermost heart to others.

  "Emotion?"

  Lin Lei sighed inwardly.

  What else can I think of, it's better to focus on cultivation for now. At this moment, a scene flashed through Lin Lei's mind - it was after his father's death, when many nobles gathered in Wushan Town, and that night, Delia came to see Lin Lei under the cover of darkness, telling him she would return to the Yulan Empire. And on that night, before parting ways, Delia kissed Lin Lei.

  "Delia?"

  Apart from Alice, Lin Lei might also have some feelings for this girl he had known since the first year of Ernst Magic Academy, especially after Delia's several sincere confessions. Although Lin Lei never admitted it, he must admit in his heart that Delia's shadow has been imprinted on his heart.

  "Lei Ge, eat quickly." Jennie said expectantly beside him.

  Lin Lei secretly sighed, "It seems that we can't waste Jennie's youth like this anymore." Lin Lei thought and started eating with a big appetite, while praising, "Indeed, it's not bad, the taste is very good."

  Hearing Lin Lei's praise, Zhan Ni was delighted.

  "Janni, you don't have to come over anymore. I'm not too fond of being disturbed when I'm cultivating," Lin Lei said to Janni.

  Jenny was taken aback.

  "Oh." Zanni responded with a smile, "Then Leigong can also go to the castle if he has time."

  "En." Lin Lei could only respond with a single word.

  The days of cultivation passed quickly, and Lin Lei had been in the valley for almost a month. As for his understanding of the Black Ruler Heavy Sword, Lin Lei gradually grasped the way.

  As long as you persist, it is estimated that it will take several years, and you can definitely reach a new level beyond "momentum".

  In a quiet tavern in Akakawa County Castle.

  The lights in the tavern are dim, with a dark tone similar to dusk. The arrangement of tables and chairs is also very regular, with screens separating each other.

  A very quiet and elegant bar, Lin Lei fell in love with it after visiting once.

  The consumption here is also relatively high.

  After seven or eight days of cultivation, Lin Lei would often come to this quiet tavern to drink wine and listen to the beautiful music in the tavern. Occasionally, he could also hear some guests' conversations about all sorts of things.

  "It's almost July, and Wharton should be ending this semester." Lin Lei thought to himself.

  At this time, there were still quite a few guests in the tavern. When the guests talked, they all consciously used slightly lower voices, but Lin Lei listened carefully and could hear every conversation around him clearly.

  Suddenly, a conversation caught Lin Lei's attention.

  "Have you heard? In the Imperial Capital, a super genius has emerged. He's a 17-year-old youth named 'Worton'." On a table beside Lin Lei sat three middle-aged men who were discussing the Empire's geniuses.

  What's wrong?

  Lin Lei's attention was immediately focused.

  Having entered the O'Brien Empire for so long, Lin Lei still really hadn't heard any news about Worton.

  "Are you talking about that genius who emerged from this year's O'Brien Academy grade competition?" The bald-headed man next to him lit up, "I've heard of this too. The 7th-grade competition at O'Brien Academy is quite popular. There are even students who have reached the 8th level participating in this competition."

  O'Brien Academy, as the first warrior academy on the Jade Continent, also added a seventh grade.

  Reach level 7 warrior, can enter grade 7.

  While seventh-level warriors can actually graduate, many seventh-level warriors still stay in the academy. Even a few eighth-level warrior students are not in a hurry to graduate.

  "Bald Eagle, you've also heard the news. That Worton, tsk tsk." The blue-haired middle-aged man sighed, "Only seventeen years old, never participated in a grade tournament before, and this time participating in the seventh-grade tournament, actually defeated an eighth-level warrior. Became the champion of the seventh-grade tournament."

  "What? Seventeen years old and already defeated an eighth-level warrior? Is this for real?" The stout man, who had been listening in, was shocked.

  The bald-headed man glared and said, "Of course it's true. I personally witnessed it. You don't know that Worton is 2 meters 2 tall, extremely strong, and his physique alone gives people a sense of terrifying oppression. His weapon is a terrifying giant war knife. Holding that war knife, Worton actually defeated an eighth-level warrior in one move and became the champion of the annual tournament."

  According to others, this Worton has already defeated an 8th-level warrior and is expected to reach the level of an 8th-level warrior before the age of 20. The genius Sword Saint 'Olivia' entered the 9th-level realm at the age of 30, and this Worton's talent is not much different from hers." The green-haired man exclaimed, "At just 17 years old, he has defeated an 8th-level warrior. It's been a long time since such a genius appeared in the Imperial Capital, and he is even considered to be the number one prodigy of the Aubrey Academy. The Emperor himself has bestowed upon him the title of Earl."
