《Super Divine Dragon Training System》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Sacred Dragon Continent, the Stellarsky Empire, Kimura Village, at the edge of Old Li¡¯s orchard. ¡°Stop! Don¡¯t run!¡± An old man shouted angrily, followed by the sound of a walking stick knocking on the ground. ¡°You devilish brat, if you dare to steal my Demon Flower Fruit again, I¡¯ll definitely break your legs!¡± The Demon Flower Fruit was only a fruit of the lowest grade that ordinary people could eat. It was cheap and could not be sold for a few copper coins in the market. As Zhang Xing ran, he smiled and shouted, ¡°Old Li, it¡¯s just a few worthless fruits. When I get rich, I¡¯ll build a bigger orchard for you and plant the best fruits!¡± Old Li looked at Zhang Xing, who was running happily, but he was not really angry. Instead, he sighed silently in his heart. What a poor child! Zhang Xing was not from this world. He was the manager of a well-known animation network on Earth. He only remembered that when he was working overtime, sparks were coming out of the power source on the wall. Then, he went to pull the plug, and then¡­ He ended up in this world. He had transmigrated into the body of a six-year-old boy. Through his memories, he knew that this child named Zhang Xing had some talent in magic, so his grandfather had scrimped and saved to send him to the magic academy and live a good life. Unfortunately, on the way to the magic academy, they were attacked by wild wolves. His grandfather passed away while protecting him, leaving him alone. He stumbled along the way and eventually starved to death near Kimura Village. That was wen he took over the boy. This was a magical world with powerful warriors and the most respected mages. They respected strength and spoke with their fists. Zhang Xing staggered as he ran, but he was very young. His legs were wobbly and crooked. He accidentally fell and injured his legs. Furthermore, as he stuffed the Demon Flower Fruit into his mouth, he looked back. His entire chin was covered with the purple and sticky fruit of the Demon Flower Fruit, making people unable to help but laugh. ¡°Everyone else has a cheat, but why don¡¯t I have anything?¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the villagers of Kimura, I would have starved to death three days ago. I¡¯d be the first transmigrator to starve to death.¡± Just as he thought of this, there was a sudden ¡®ding!¡¯ A pleasant voice sounded in his mind. In the next second, he suddenly disappeared from where he was and entered an unknown space. What appeared before him was a vast island. The island was lush and green. [Ding! Congratulations on successfully summoning the Divine Dragon Island!] [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Divine Dragon Training System!¡± Zhang Xing¡¯s tender face was blank as he asked in confusion, ¡°Why would I raise a dragon?¡± The System replied, [To have dragons as pets!] ¡°Ah!¡± Zhang Xing shouted in his heart, and the confusion on his face immediately turned into misery. Other people would have old legendary grandpas in their rings to guide them or all kinds of awesome Systems, but he got a Pet System. Zhang Xing¡¯s eyes reddened and tears filled his eyes. Could it be that he would make a bunch of cages to store pet dragons in and wait at the pet market every day for those noble lords to buy dragons? Zhang Xing was instantly miserable. He immediately thought of groups of kittens and puppies in the pet market on Earth. However, what the System said next made him so ecstatic that he forgot about the pain. [When a pet dragon is raised, it can become a divine dragon. It will follow you to conquer the world. You will be able to look down on the world you rule!] [Please board the Divine Dragon Island and begin the System Missions.] As soon as the voice finished speaking, Zhang Xing felt his foot land on the ground. The island¡¯s surface area was not small. Based on the perception in his mind, it was about the same size as Washington Island on Earth. [Ding! Novice Mission begins. Initial Gold Coins: 2,000.] Wow, I¡¯m rich. Even Kimura uses copper coins. Silver coins are rare, let alone gold coins. He took a handful and put it in his pocket. Haiyah! Zhang Xing opened his small hands and saw that there were only five gold coins. No, I want to grab more. Haiyah! It was still five gold coins. The System replied, [Island Master, you don¡¯t have to go through so much trouble. With just a thought, the gold coins will naturally appear in your pocket.] [Novice Mission 1: Build a Base Camp. It requires 200 gold coins. Necessary building to construct the Dragon Nest.] Opening the control panel, Zhang Xing glanced at it and found the building on it. Swoosh! A white light shone on the island, and a building similar to the medieval period of the Western world appeared. [Congratulations on completing the mission. You have received 10 experience points and 100 gold coins.] [Congratulations on leveling up. You are currently a Martial Apprentice.] ¡°Damn, I leveled up just like that. Feeling the strength of my body, I¡¯d say it¡¯s about the same as when I was 20 years old.¡± He looked at his status. Gold coins: 1,900, experience: 0/20. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The System said, [Novice Mission 2: Build a Castle. Requires 300 gold coins. Necessary building to construct the Dragon Nest.] Another white light descended, and the Base Camp was upgraded to a Castle. [Congratulations on completing the mission. You have received 20 experience points and 200 gold coins.] [Congratulations on leveling up. You are currently a beginner warrior.] An even more powerful force than before instantly filled the six-year-old Zhang Xing¡¯s body. He clenched his small fist and his confidence soared. He estimated that it would not be a problem for him to defeat eight to ten ordinary people. Newbies leveled up really quickly. Zhang Xing was delighted. At this moment, the System¡¯s voice sounded again. [Novice Mission 3: Build a Level 1 Dragon Nest. It costs 400 gold coins to hatch the dragon eggs.] In the blink of an eye, a swamp appeared in the west of the castle, and a cave in the middle of the swamp appeared. [Congratulations on completing the mission. Obtained 30 experience points, 300 gold coins. Remaining 1,700 gold coins.] [Congratulations on leveling up. You are currently an intermediate warrior.] Little Zhang Xing¡¯s excited voice rang out, ¡°Ah, the leveling speed is too fast. It¡¯s like riding a rocket.¡± ¡°With my current strength, I can probably kill a fierce tiger with one punch!¡± The System replied,[Novice Mission 4: Randomly choose a dragon egg to hatch. No gold coins are required.] A two-meter-tall machine appeared in the air. There were 24 slots on it, and there were 12 types of dragon eggs, but there were still 12 empty slots. There was only a 50 percent chance of winning. ¡°What if I don¡¯t get it?¡± The System replied, [Go do side quests to earn a chance to draw a dragon.] Sigh! Why not just give him an egg? Why go through so much trouble? Zhang Xing put his palms together and prayed for a while. At the same time, he cursed the system in his heart and pressed the start button. Beep¡­ Ding¡­ The pointer finally stopped on a black dragon egg. ¡°Yay! I got it, my luck is not bad!¡± Zhang Xing shouted happily. An oval-shaped black egg the size of a basketball appeared on the ground. [Ding! Congratulations to Island Master for obtaining a black dragon egg.] [Island Master, please place the dragon egg in the Dragon Nest to hatch!] Zhang Xing willed it to enter the swamp cave. ¡°Hey, System, when will it hatch?¡± [One day is enough.] The System was really awesome. In some novels, dragon eggs would not hatch for at least 100 years. Of course, if he had enough energy, it would be a different story. A day passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Xing could not wait to enter Dragon Island. The timing was just right. The moment he entered, he heard a cracking sound. When he looked again, the eggshell of the dragon egg was covered with tiny cracks. Zhang Xing stared at the dragon egg nervously. In the next second, the eggshell shattered with a crack, and a curled black thing appeared in front of him. Then, the ball of black shook a few times and shook off the sticky substance on its body. Its body slowly unfolded. [Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission. You have received 40 warrior experience points and 400 gold coins.] ¡°Eh? Why didn¡¯t I level up?¡± Zhang Xing opened the attribute panel and saw that an advanced warrior required 100 experience points. ¡°Yes, there¡¯s no hurry. This is just the beginning.¡± At the same time, the System¡¯s voice continued. [Magic Talent unlocked. Current title: Magic Apprentice. Experience 0/20.] [Unlocked the magic mission. Use the Demon Flower Fruit to feed the dragon whelp. Each fruit will increase 1 point of experience.] [Dragon whelp experience points: 10] [The Demon Flower Fruit seed can be purchased from the System store.] What was that? Demon Flower Fruit? Old Li¡¯s family had more than 30 of them. The Demon Flower Fruit that nobles and rich people did not care about but treated as a treasure by the poor? Later, he would go out and take a look. He would steal one, oh no, borrow one to try. Now that he had magic, he was both a warrior and a mage. It was amazing to be able to cultivate both magic and martial arts. He had thought that the System would only give him the identity of a warrior. With a dragon and a battle-ax in hand, he would eventually become a legendary Dragon Warrior. He did not expect that he would be given the most honorable identity as a mage. What was this called? Magical Dragon Warrior? Zhang Xing concluded that there was currently a mission to upgrade the buildings. The experience required for warriors and magic, as well as the experience of the dragon whelp, was not too troublesome. ¡°Yeeee!¡± At this moment, a cute cry brought Zhang Xing back to his senses. A half-meter tall, pitch-black child appeared in front of him. Zhang Xing was stunned. Where did the little dragon go? How did it hatch into a child? If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing took a closer look. No, this was not a child. It was clearly a little dragon that had come out of an egg¡­ A dragon child! The little dragon child was as black as coal, and there was a thin layer of black scales on his body. He was extremely ugly, and his face was filled with anger. He looked at him with a bitter and hateful expression. One big and one small, one yellow and one black, the two children sized each other up. ¡°Why are you like this?¡± Zhang Xing could not help but ask.¡± Who knew that the little black dragon would open his mouth and say something that almost made Zhang Xing choke to death? ¡°So you think you¡¯re really great?¡± After saying that, the little black dragon raised his proud head with his nose in the air. He looked at Zhang Xing with disdain and picked up a piece of eggshell to eat. What the hell, the script wasn¡¯t right. Weren¡¯t these creatures coming out of the eggshell, pouncing on the first person they saw, and calling him ¡®mother¡¯ affectionately? Also, this little black dragon had turned into a human the moment he was born. Not only could he speak human language, but he could also f*cking scold people? ¡°Hey, little black dragon, I was the one who hatched you. Your attitude is not right!¡± ¡°Pfft! You are a human being just like me, don¡¯t think that I know you are a human being, a lowly human being!¡± Ugh! He was really f*cking smart. He was born with the powerful memory genes of the dragon race. As expected, he was not easy to fool. After a while, the little black dragon finished eating the eggshell and stretched. He ignored Zhang Xing and went into the cave to sleep. Zhang Xing left Dragon Island angrily. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you a lesson later.¡± At night, a small shadow sneaked into Old Li¡¯s orchard. The Demon Flower Fruit tree had already grown for three years. It was the best time to bear fruit. In the past, Zhang Xing had to spend a lot of effort to steal the Demon Flower Fruit, but now, he could jump two meters with a light jump. In just a short while, he had plucked 20 of them, and then directly entered the Dragon Island. The first thing he saw when he entered was the little black dragon with a distressed face. The little black dragon, who had slept for the entire day, was currently wagging his tail and wandering around outside the nest. Looking at the child¡¯s weak appearance, he knew that he was hungry and was looking for food. Seeing Zhang Xing come over, the little black dragon raised his head again and pretended to be arrogant. Then, he quickly turned his head to the side, making it clear that he did not want to talk to him. Zhang Xing was delighted. ¡°Haha!¡± Continue pretending then. Zhang Xing sat down on a smooth rock, took out a Demon Flower Fruit from his pocket, and started eating it. Crunch! Hearing the sound of food being eaten, the little black dragon immediately stopped in its tracks, as if it had been immobilized. Then, he sniffed the air. Swoosh! Turning his head abruptly, the little black dragon saw the scene in front of him and instantly stopped acting pretentious. His head drooped down. Rumble! Rumble! When Zhang Xing heard the movements of the little black dragon¡¯s stomach, he smacked his lips even harder. ¡°It¡¯s so delicious! It smells so good¡­¡± From the corner of his eye, he saw the little black dragon walking towards him shyly. Humph, the most effective trump card against children is food. Even if you are a proud dragon child, you still have to lower your head in front of your own instincts, but you have to lower your head even more to me. ¡°What are you eating?¡± The little black dragon stood in front of Zhang Xing, widened his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said in a childish voice. His attitude at this moment was completely different from before. The speed at which he changed his face was simply the fastest in the world. Zhang Xing crossed his legs and said, ¡°Demon Flower Fruit.¡± ¡°Can I have one?¡± the little black dragon licked his lips and said weakly. ¡°No!¡± Zhang Xingheng spat out the word in anger. After saying that, he even shifted his body to the side. Two seconds later. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m hungry!¡± The little black dragon¡¯s voice sounded from behind him, and the corner of hisclothes was being pulled and swayed.

Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Haha! You called me ¡®Big Brother¡¯ and started to admit defeat? However¡­ ¡°I worked hard to hatch you. You have to call me Daddy!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a human, I can¡¯t call you Daddy. I want to eat the Demon Flower Fruit.¡± The little black dragon stubbornly continued to tug at the corner of his clothes. ¡°Not calling me is fine too. Let me see you transform into a dragon.¡± Zhang Xing had never seen a real dragon before, so he was looking forward to it. The little black dragon twisted his body on the spot, bent his knees, and squatted down. His arms clenched into fists, and his face puffed up as it began to transform with all his might. This posture looked like he was squatting in the toilet! Zhang Xing wanted to laugh. Poof! A small black dragon that was half a meter long appeared in the air. He had a big head, two dragon horns that had just popped out, deep eye sockets, four big claws, and smooth, thin scales all over his body. Yes! Not bad, it was basically as he had imagined. When the little black dragon grew into a giant dragon, riding him would be such a cool scene! Immediately after, the little black dragon transformed back into a child. ¡°I want to eat the Demon Flower Fruit!¡± ¡°I can give it to you, but you have to acknowledge me as your Master.¡± Zhang Xing took out another Demon Flower Fruit and waved it in front of the little black dragon. ¡°No, only the most powerful humans can become Masters with the dragon¡¯s consent.¡± ¡°With your small body, tsk tsk¡­¡± When it came to the lifelong matter of little black dragon, he became mischievous again. ¡°If you don¡¯t acknowledge it, then forget it, I¡¯m leaving.¡± Saying that, Zhang Xing stood up, pretending to be about to leave, murmuring to himself at the same time, ¡°Ah! I went through all the trouble to hatch you, and now you¡¯re starving to death. It would have been better to just cook and eat the egg.¡± Gurgle! Gurgle! The little black dragon¡¯s hungry stomach growled again. Seeing Zhang Xing walk three meters away, the little black dragon gritted his teeth and said pitifully, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll acknowledge you as my Master, but we can only sign a Contract of Equals.¡± The Contract of Equals signed between the dragon and the human was the most cost-effective. Humans could enjoy the special attribute magic of the dragons, while dragons were not bound by the mortality of humans. Similarly, humans would not be affected by the dragons. Here, the term mortality refers to the life and death of humans unrelated to dragons. Done! Hehe, I¡¯m pretty good at tricking kids. Although the Contract of Equals was not very useful now, the little black dragon was still young. As he gradually grows up, the benefits of this contract will become apparent. ¡°Then let¡¯s quickly sign the contract!¡± Zhang Xing casually said something from Earth. The little black dragon could roughly understand the meaning of the words, and a strange incantation floated out. In an instant, a streak of black light soared into the sky and flashed across the sky above the Divine Dragon Island. The moment the incantation was completed, Zhang Xing felt an inexplicable connection between him and the little black dragon. In his heart or soul, the shadow of a small black dragon faintly appeared. From the moves and novels, he knew that it was a sliver of the black dragon¡¯s soul. At the same time, he could also feel the powerful magic power in the soul. Moreover, the speed at which he absorbed the magic elements in the air had increased by another level. In the blink of an eye, the contract was completed. The little black dragon seemed to be feeling the strangeness in the depths of his soul, but he only stood there for two seconds before shouting, ¡°Hurry up and give me the Demon Flower Fruit!¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhang Xing glared, and the little black dragon retracted his neck. ¡°Master, Dragon Baby is so hungry. I want to eat the fruit!¡± ¡°Pfft¡­¡± ¡°Here, eat it!¡± He threw a Demon Flower Fruit to the little black dragon. ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll call you Black Treasure. When you can truly transform into human form, you have to call me Brother Xing in front of others, got it?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The little black dragon ate while panting. It was unclear whether he agreed or ignored him. When the little black dragon finished eating a Demon Flower Fruit, a black aura immediately emitted from his body, and he grew a little taller. [Ding! The young dragon requires 9 fruits to advance to Level 1. Current EXP: 1/10.] [Ding! Congratulations on completing the feeding mission. Rewarding 20 MP and 200 gold coins.] [Congratulations on leveling up. You are currently a beginner mage.] [Next level¡¯s magic experience 0/40, warrior experience 40/100.] [You have obtained the Basic Magician ¡ª Meditation Technique, the Basic Black Dragon ¡ª Flame Spit Spell, and the Bite Spell.] ¡°Haha, I know magic skills now.¡± Zhang Xing was delighted. He planned to close his eyes and practice Meditation immediately. However, when he thought about it, he could sense the magical elements in the air with his eyes open. Moreover, his mental energy was unprecedentedly vigorous. It was as if the entire space had become different from before. Damn, he learned Meditation just like that. This surprise came too suddenly. ¡°Flame Spit Spell!¡± With a whoosh, a raging fire was spat out from his mouth. The power was not bad, but it consumed a little more mana. If some grand mages knew that a six-year-old child had not only become a beginner mage, but could also spit fire, it would be strange if they were not scared to death. After the little black dragon finished eating a Demon Flower Fruit, he looked at Zhang Xing earnestly. ¡°Master, it¡¯s not enough. Give me a few more!¡± When Zhang Xing heard the black dragon¡¯s voice, he was stunned. He was so focused on spitting fire that he had forgotten about this. ¡°These are all for you to eat!¡± Zhang Xing gave the remaining 19 to the little black dragon. ¡°Wow, so much. Thank you, Master!¡± The little black dragon shook his body excitedly and rubbed his head against Zhang Xing affectionately. ¡°Huff! Huff huff!¡± The little black dragon ate furiously, and in a short while, 19 Demon Flowers and Fruits were in his stomach. After eating, the little black dragon grew to more than a meter tall, a little taller than Zhang Xing. [Ding! Dragon whelp has advanced, currently at Level 2, EXP 9/100.] When Zhang Xing saw this, he was scared to death. The next level required him to eat 100 Demon Flower Fruits. Would he have to steal all the fruit of Old Li¡¯s orchard? No, I can¡¯t steal it, but I can¡¯t buy it either! If Old Li saw him take out a gold coin, he would be scared to death. He would definitely think that he had stolen it. Not only would he not be able to buy the Demon Flower Fruits, he might even ask for it to the end. He could not rely on his powerful martial strength to snatch it away. These villagers were so good to him, but he couldn¡¯t do it. He couldn¡¯t! Thinking of this, he opened the System Store and found the Demon Flower Fruit seed. When he looked at the price, he was shocked. One seed cost 200 gold coins. Moreover, each seed could only bear 20 fruits. In order to level up the dragon, he bought it. After spending 1,000 gold coins on five seeds, he had 1,300 gold coins left. In the shop, he could only see a few missions items on this page. The next page had not been unlocked, so he did not know what was inside. They were all good things. The remaining gold coins were not enough. He had to think of a way to earn money as soon as possible. He planted the five seeds in the special fields on Dragon Island and waited for them to bear fruit in a month. At this time, the System did not give him any new missions. It seemed that the novice¡¯s mission had already ended. Zhang Xing exited the System Space and appeared under the fruit tree. ¡°Hmm? Is the village on fire?¡± He saw a red light not far away, illuminating a small part of the space. There was also a messy rustling sound in his ears, accompanied by a low howl. Not good! It¡¯s a wolf pack! Zhang Xing was shocked! Why would a pack of wolves attack the village in the middle of the night? In places where humans lived, some ordinary wild beasts would hide far away. Even low-level magical beasts would not dare to appear. Zhang Xing¡¯s figure flashed, and he unleashed his cultivation base as an intermediate warrior, rushing toward the village. He had to chase away the wolves and save these villagers! At the same time, he wanted to avenge the grandfather of the original owner of this body.

Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hurry up and light the firewood!¡± From afar, they could hear the village chief¡¯s urgent shout as he led a dozen or so young men over from behind. Two piles of firewood that were more than one meter tall were immediately set ablaze. In just a short while, the entire area was illuminated red. The wolves retreated in fear, but the ferocity in their eyes did not diminish, and they whimpered in a low voice. ¡°Why are there so many wolves running in?¡± Village Chief muttered to himself strangely. It was normal for one or two lone wolves to run into the village and steal chickens and ducks. However, this was the first time that five or six of them had come down. Could it be that something had happened in the forest far away? Just as the Village Chief was puzzled, the wolf on the other side of the fire suddenly howled. When the villagers heard this voice, their expressions changed drastically. Not good! The wolf was gathering its companions! Sure enough, in less than a minute, green light spots appeared around the village. The villagers¡¯ hearts skipped a beat when they saw the wolves¡¯ eyes. Why were there so many of them? There were probably 40 to 50 of them. Why was this happening? The villagers could not understand, nor did they have time to think about it. These wolves exuded a terrifying ferocity, and their ferocious eyes stared at them. Some of the wolves even drooled from the corners of their mouths, and they made a posture of attacking at any time. Thud, thud, thud! A wolf the size of a calf walked out from behind the pack of wolves. Hiss! When the villagers saw this giant wolf, they all gasped sharply. Their minds were shaken, and their body temperature instantly dropped to the lowest point. Heavens! This¡­ T-this is a magical beast! The villagers instantly fell into despair! Clang! A timid villager was in a daze. The hoe in his hand fell to the ground, but he was unaware. More people started trembling uncontrollably. They were all ordinary people. Usually, it would take a lot of effort to hunt a lone wolf, but when faced with a magical beast, they did not have the strength to fight back at all. This Demon Wolf was obviously the leader of this pack of wolves. It walked unhurriedly to the fire. Facing this group of weak humans, this Demon Wolf did not seem to care much. It was like a big brother leading a group of little brothers to eat a big meal. Woo! The Demon Wolf let out a low cry, like a cold snort, and gave the order to attack. Pant! The wolves¡¯ eyes were filled with greed and cruelty. They pounced on the villagers and the feast began. ¡°All of you, gather together and fight to the death. If you can kill one, it¡¯s just one. We can¡¯t let this group of animals eat us so easily.¡± Hearing the Village Chief¡¯s tragic and desperate voice, everyone tightened their grip on their farming tools. Whoosh! Swoosh! Whoosh! Hungry wolves passed through the fire, spreading out in a fan shape. In the blink of an eye, they had already covered more than four meters. The second attack, the pack of wolves jumped up, and their figures kept enlarging in the eyes of all the villagers. At this extremely urgent moment, a clear and decisive voice, but also a little childish, sounded in the sky. ¡°How dare you!¡± Immediately after, everyone¡¯s vision blurred, and a shocking scene began. Whimper! A gray wolf that was in mid-air let out a blood-curdling cry and crashed back to the other side of the fire at a speed faster than when it came. After rolling on the ground more than ten times, most of the fur on his body was ripped off, revealing his bloody flesh and bones. Then, it hung there limply, motionless. Bang! Crash! ¡°¡­¡± The second one, the third one, the fourth one¡­ The wolves¡¯ howls of pain roused the spirits of the villagers.

Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing arrived just in time. He kicked and punched the wolves like he was kicking chicks, sending them back to the other side of the fire. With his current cultivation as an intermediate warrior, dealing with these wild wolves was like cutting vegetables. At this moment, the villagers stared at the six-year-old Zhang Xing with their mouths agape. They could not believe their eyes. The contrast was too great, and they could not accept it for a moment. They were in shock. A few days ago, this thin and weak child could even fall down when he ran. When he was helping the Village Chief, he could not even carry a bundle of firewood. And just now, that little arm and leg had exploded with astonishing strength, easily sending the wild wolf flying and kicking it far away, saving everyone¡¯s lives. The petrified villagers looked at the tiny figure in front of them and suddenly felt a very special feeling. It was a strange sense of security. Growl, roar¡­ The Demon Wolf on the other side of the fire saw the corpse of the wild wolf that had been beaten back and let out a low and angry roar. All the wolf cubs that had submitted to it were killed with a single punch or kick. When the villagers heard the Demon Wolf¡¯s growl, their hearts tightened. ¡°Child, this is a Demon Wolf. It looks like it¡¯s at Tier 1 or 2. You¡¯re no match for this pack of wolves. You have to be careful!¡± The Village Chief¡¯s words revealed deep worry. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Village Chief. I¡¯m fine.¡± Zhang Xing was very calm at the moment. The confidence and determination in his tone clearly did not match his age. Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the Demon Wolf, which was the greatest threat, and no one noticed this. However, for some reason, they did not panic or fear as they did at the beginning. Zhang Xing knew nothing about the cultivation system of this continent, nor did he know anything about the levels of the demon beasts. The Village Chief told him the level of this Demon Wolf. He could vaguely feel the violent power in the Demon Wolf¡¯s body. He was confident that he could fight him! A boy and a beast faced each other across the fire. The Demon Wolf lay on the ground, its two bear-like front paws supporting itself against the ground. Its two hind legs were bent, and it could kick at any time to quickly jump out and kill its prey. Zhang Xing was even more cautious about the Demon Wolf¡¯s movements. It was his first time fighting a demon beast, so he could not help but feel nervous. Suddenly, the Demon Wolf¡¯s messy silver-gray fur shook. Its hind legs kicked the ground and it pounced. The smell of blood rushed into Zhang Xing¡¯s nose, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. Zhang Xing tried his best not to vomit. He stared at the path of the Demon Wolf with determination. ¡°Ah!¡± Some villagers could not help but exclaim. ¡°Child, be careful!¡± ¡°Quickly dodge!¡± Before the villagers could finish their words, Zhang Xing had already started fighting with the Demon Wolf. The Demon Wolf stretched out its front paw in the air and swept at Zhang Xing¡¯s head. Zhang Xing lowered his body and kicked the Demon Wolf¡¯s stomach. The crafty Demon Wolf rolled sideways in the air and dodged the kick. Its claw also missed. Immediately after, the Demon Wolf jumped up again and grabbed Zhang Xing again. Through this round of competition, Zhang Xing felt that the strength and speed of both sides were almost the same. It would be very difficult for him to kill this Demon Wolf! Demon beasts had an innate advantage. Their skin was rough and thick, and their ability to withstand attacks was stronger than ordinary martial artists. In comparison, Zhang Xing¡¯s physical body was weaker, especially since he was only a six-year-old child. Since I can¡¯t kill this Demon Wolf quickly, then you can be my sparring partner. Zhang Xingkong had the cultivation of an intermediate warrior, but he did not have the corresponding martial arts techniques. He could only use his fists and feet to fight with the Demon Wolf to train for his actual combat experience.

Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Demon Wolf was unable to attack for a long time and was slightly anxious. Bang! After a head-on collision, the Demon Wolf retreated five meters. Zhang Xing felt his arm go numb, and he felt very uncomfortable. The Demon Wolf did not attack like before. Instead, it straightened its limbs, raised its huge head, and opened its mouth to the sky. Owuu¡­ Wuuu! The long and terrifying wolf howls spread throughout the night sky and reached the ears of the villagers. They could not help but shiver, and an infinite sense of fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. Goosebumps covered their entire bodies. An extremely nervous atmosphere surrounded everyone¡¯s hearts. Even Zhang Xing was no exception. He felt that the Demon Wolf was brewing something, and a particularly dangerous awareness made him take precautions. Suddenly, the Demon Wolf¡¯s eyes emitted a demon-red light. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a stream of energy. ¡°Child, quickly dodge, it¡¯s a wind blade! This is a demon beast¡¯s¡­¡± Before the Village Chief could finish his words, he stopped. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhang Xing foolishly. ¡°No, I can¡¯t! This is impossible!¡± ¡°How can a six-year-old child spit fire?¡± ¡°Is Zhang Xing also a demon beast?¡± ¡°No, Zhang Xing¡¯s move seems to be magic!¡± At the thought of this, the Village Chief¡¯s mind exploded, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably. ¡°This child is actually the most respected mage on the continent!¡± ¡°Oh my god! A six-year-old mage¡­¡± When the Village Chief was young, he followed his elders to a bigger city and was fortunate enough to meet a respected beginner mage. He saw the beginner mage wearing a silver-gray magic robe chant a spell in a low voice during the selection ceremony. Then, he shook his hands and a fist-sized fireball ignited the charcoal in the brazier. As for the magic wolf¡¯s wind blade, it was recorded in the hunting manual preserved in the village. None of the villagers noticed the Village Chief who had fallen to the ground in shock. They were all dumbfounded by the scene in front of them. Puff! The wind blade collided with the fireball, or rather, a small flame, and then disappeared in the air. The Demon Wolf was also startled at this moment, and a trace of surprise appeared in its eyes. However, it was not as intelligent as a human, so it only shot out wind blades. A Tier 2 Demon Wolf that could spit out wind blades was exactly the same level as Zhang Xing, who was currently an intermediate warrior and beginner mage. Although his physical strength was still lacking, in terms of the power of magic, Zhang Xing was clearly superior. After a few flames were released, the Demon Wolf¡¯s wind blades gradually lost their power. Zhang Xing¡¯s confidence soared. The little black dragon¡¯s fire-breathing talent was his talent. How could a dragon be inferior to a wolf? Impossible! Zhang Xing did not even need to use Meditation. When he used the Fire Spit spell, the fire magic elements in the air surged crazily into his body. The Demon Wolf was weak and its magic power was weak. The signs of defeat had already appeared and its intention to retreat was obvious. Just as the Demon Wolf turned around and wanted to escape, Zhang Xing suddenly jumped out and quickly punched. At the same time, the flame pounced on the Demon Wolf before him. Suddenly, the flame turned into a flame that enveloped the Demon Wolf¡¯s calf-sized body. Roar! The Demon Wolf was in pain and rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on its body. At this moment, Zhang Xing¡¯s fist arrived. Bang! Bang! The Demon Wolf wailed. At this moment, it had completely lost its insufferably arrogant aura. It struggled to get up like a stray dog and fled for its life. The magic flames burned brighter and brighter, and the smell of burnt fur and roasted meat filled the air. At this moment, the villagers¡¯ spirits were lifted, and their decadent despair and deep worry for Zhang Xing were swept away. Zhang Xing chased the Demon Wolf to a place about ten miles away from the village, surrounded by barren mountains. ¡°Black Treasure, come out and exercise!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as Zhang Xing finished speaking, the little black dragon appeared in the air with a whoosh. his one-meter-long body swayed. When he saw the Demon Wolf, a natural dragon instinct made him despise this low-level animal. The Demon Wolf seemed to feel that the smell behind it was a little different. Then, a powerful pressure enveloped its entire body. Crack! The Demon Wolf¡¯s limbs went limp and it fell to the ground. When he looked back, his eyes were filled with deep fear, and his body trembled violently like a sieve. The difference between the ranks of the demon beasts made it unable to resist. However, after the fear, the Demon Wolf saw that the little black dragon, which was only one meter tall, did not seem to pose much of a threat to it. The ferocity of the demon beasts grew from the bottom of their hearts. After rolling on the ground, the Demon Wolf regained some strength. It kept whimpering in a low voice, looking like it wanted to exchange a few moves with the little black dragon. ¡°Black Treasure, this is a Tier 2 Demon Wolf. Take it and practice!¡± In fact, even without Zhang Xing¡¯s order, The little black dragon was already eager to try. His innate instinct was to fight. He and the Demon Wolf were both at Tier 2. Even if the Demon Wolf was not injured, it was not his match. The little black dragon shook his body and rushed towards the Demon Wolf at a very fast speed. Under the dragon¡¯s pressure, the speed of the Demon Wolf¡¯s resistance was obviously unable to keep up with his brain. Swoosh! A piece of flesh was torn off by the dragon¡¯s claws. Immediately after, the Demon Wolf wailed in pain as its body was scratched until it was covered in blood and its flesh split open. A moment later, the Demon Wolf lay on the ground weakly, its eyes filled with despair. In the end, the Demon Wolf¡¯s throat was bitten off by the little black dragon and it died. Zhang Xing took a deep breath and said softly, ¡°Zhang Xing, this can be considered as revenge for your grandfather. You two can rest in peace!¡± ¡°As for your grandfather¡¯s last wish¡­ I will definitely go to the magic academy.¡± After that, Zhang Xing and the little black dragon enjoyed a delicious meal of barbecued Demon Wolf meat. A calf-sized Demon Wolf only had its head left. Most of it had been eaten by the little black dragon. The little black dragon burped and went to sleep on Dragon Island. Zhang Xing carried the wolf head back to the village. ¡°Dear fellow villagers, go back and split the meat!¡± The villagers who were waiting at the entrance of the village were stunned when they saw Zhang Xing carrying the Demon Wolf head and returning victorious. This child was going against the heavens! In just a short while, a Demon Wolf that weighed seven to eight hundred tons was beaten to the point that only its head was left. He was even more ferocious than a demon beast! Bang! Zhang Xing threw the Demon Wolf¡¯s head on the ground and patted the dust off his hands. He revealed a confident smile. ¡°Grandpa Village Chief, I¡¯ll leave the wolves on the ground to you. I¡¯m a little tired and I¡¯m going to rest.¡± As he spoke, Zhang Xing was about to walk toward the woodshed where he lived, but the Village Chief stopped him. ¡°Zhang Xing, wait!¡± ¡°Split open the head of the Demon Wolf and see if there are magic crystals inside. A demon beast that can release magic has a 20 to 30 percent chance of producing magic crystals.¡± ¡°If there is, we can sell it for a good price in town.¡± ¡°In addition, the villagers in the village are safe and sound. We have to thank you for saving us. We¡­ We¡­¡± ¡°Yes, the Village Chief is right. We can live because of you. Thank you! Thank you!¡± The simple and honest villagers kept thanking him. They had no way to repay him, but Zhang Xing could feel their true feelings from the bottom of their hearts. ¡°We¡¯re all from the same village. We¡¯re a family, so we don¡¯t have to talk like two families. These days, everyone has given me food and shelter, treating me like your own family.¡± ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve also been causing trouble for everyone, so don¡¯t feel embarrassed. It¡¯s very late, everyone should rest early after distributing the wolf meat.¡± Zhang Xing¡¯s calm and composed attitude made all the villagers look at him with admiration. He found a sturdy axe and split the wolf¡¯s head. Sure enough, he found a gray magic crystal the size of a quail egg. After putting it away, he hurriedly returned to his room. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that killing the Demon Wolf would increase both warrior and magic EXP.¡± Zhang Xing muttered to himself before entering the Divine Dragon Island.

Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When he killed those normal wolves, he saw that his experience bar was increasing. It had increased by 52 points. When the little black dragon bit the Demon Wolf to death, his magic experience bar increased by 40 points, and his warrior experience bar increased by 40 points. [Ding! Congratulations to the Island Master for leveling up. You are currently an advanced warrior.] [Ding! Congratulations to the Island Master for leveling up. You are currently an intermediate mage.] Ugh! I leveled up again! He felt that he had grown a little taller. He was probably 1.1 meters tall now. His strength had more than doubled. If he were to encounter a Tier 2 demon beast like the Demon Wolf, he would be able to finish the battle with just a few punches or kicks. He happily opened the attribute panel. [Zhang Xing: Male, 6 years old] [Title: Divine Dragon Island Master] [Buildings: Level 1 Castle, Level 1 Black Dragon Nest] [Warrior Level: Advanced warrior. Current EXP: 32/500] [Magic Level: Intermediate Magician. Current EXP: 0/100] [Martial skills: None] [Magic ¡ª Cultivation Technique: Beginner Meditation] [Magic skills: Flame Spit, Bite] [Pet: Black dragon] [Black dragon Level: Tier 2. Current EXP: 49/100] [Gold Coins: 1300] After seeing this, Zhang Xing had a better understanding of the System. As long as he killed wild beasts, he could gain warrior EXP. Killing demon beasts, would give him both warrior and magic EXP. Not only that, but if the little black dragon killed a demon beast, he would also be able to obtain EXP. This showed the benefits of the contract. However, now, other than the Fire Spit Spell, he did not know any other grade-1 spells. He had the strength of a high-level warrior, but he did not have a set of martial arts techniques. He still did not know if the System had any treasures or secret techniques. Besides, even if there were, the remaining gold coins would not be enough to buy them. If he wanted to earn a lot of money, he had to leave Kimura and go to a bigger and more prosperous city. The magic academy in his memory seemed to be called Saint Laurent Magic Martial Academy. He would ask Grandpa Village Chief tomorrow. Perhaps he would know. It was already past midnight. Zhang Xing chose to sit cross-legged on Dragon Island and cultivate the Meditation Technique. Meditation was a skill that every mage had to learn. Through meditation, they could sense the magic elements in the air and train their spiritual power. The stronger one¡¯s mental strength was, the faster one could absorb magic elements, and the faster one could cast spells. Zhang Xing did not become lazy just because he had the System. He knew that if he wanted to survive in this dangerous continent, he had to work hard. Mages might seem powerful, but their bodies were weak. When a beginner warrior fought an intermediate mage, a mage might not be able to defeat a warrior. The biggest drawback was the time taken to chant and cast their spells. Even if he could cast spells instantly, he still felt that it was not safe. Taking advantage of his young age, he could practice his basic skills firmly. Wouldn¡¯t he be even stronger with the help of the System? In fact, the magic talent of the owner of this body was not very good. If it was developed normally, this child named Zhang Xing would only be able to stay at the level of a beginner mage for the rest of his life. However, after he transmigrated, he transformed this body into a very powerful one, especially after he became an advanced warrior. His six-year-old body was already the same as an adult advanced warrior. Don¡¯t forget that he was only six years old, and his body was in the stage of healthy growth. When he was in his teens, one could imagine how strong his body would be. As the Meditation technique was activated, the magic elements in the air surged toward him. In his perception, the fire magic elements jumped the most happily. Perhaps it was because he had shared the little black dragon¡¯s Fire Spit Spell. His mind became clearer and clearer, and the Divine Dragon Island in front of him became brighter and brighter. The magic power that he had consumed in the fight with the Demon Wolf was gradually restored. After a moment, his magic power was restored to its peak state.

Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing did not stop cultivating. He was still trying his best to absorb the magic elements in the space. It was easier said than done to absorb more in this state. It was like a balloon. When the air inside reached a certain level, it would take a lot of effort to fill it up again. It might even explode. But humans were not balloons, and Zhang Xing could not let himself explode. He was testing the limits of his mana capacity, carefully absorbing it bit by bit. Eh? It was fine, he could still absorb it! Zhang Xing felt very strange. Let¡¯s absorb a little more and see. As expected, he absorbed some more mana. What¡¯s the reason for this? Never mind, focus on cultivation, there will be a chance to figure it out. After a quarter of an hour, after two quarters of an hour¡­ At this point, Zhang Xing had reached the limit of absorption. His body was like an inflated balloon, his eyes bulging, and his swollen skin oozing blood. He endured the pain on his face with all his might. ¡°Hold on a little longer¡­ That¡¯s good!¡± Just as he thought of this, he fell down with a bang and fainted from the pain. When Zhang Xing woke up that night, he continued to meditate and absorb, then fainted from the pain again. When he woke up in the morning, he suddenly realized that his body did not hurt at all. The magic power stored in his body was twice as much as before. For example, if an average intermediate mage¡¯s mana was 100 points, then he would have 200 points in his body. At the same time, his spiritual power had become stronger, and he could control the fire magic elements in the outside world at a faster speed and with a wider range. What Zhang Xing didn¡¯t know was that he didn¡¯t have to cultivate so hard. The System could assist him in rapid growth. It was just that his thinking was more mature, and he had to consider all problems positively. It was also because of his tenacious and persistent personality that he was able to accumulate a large amount of wealth during the initial stages of poverty, hunt demon beasts beyond his level, and acquire magic crystals. As for why his body could accommodate more magical power, he also figured it out. Despite his small size, he was already an advanced warrior. At this moment, the little black dragon woke up in a daze after sleeping the entire night. As soon as he saw Zhang Xing, he ran over. The demon wolf meat roasted last night was too fragrant. He wanted to eat more. ¡°Master, I¡¯m hungry again!¡± Zhang Xing scratched his head. There was really nothing for the little guy to eat now. He touched his body and wondered if the little guy would eat magical crystals. ¡°Do you want to eat this?¡± The little black dragon¡¯s eyes lit up, and a gap opened in his inherited memories. ¡°This is even better than demon wolf meat!¡± As he spoke, he smacked his lips twice. ¡°Take it!¡± Zhang Xing threw it to him. The quail egg-sized magic crystal was caught by the little black dragon, and then a series of crunching sounds could be heard, and it was eaten up in a few bites. The little black dragon was still frowning, but he looked obedient as she stared at Zhang Xing with is big black eyes. ¡°Sigh! What should he do? How much effort would he have to put in for this little foodie every day?¡± ¡°However, a tier 2 mana crystal can provide the little black dragon with 10 EXP.¡± ¡°Both inside and outside the System, I can gain experience points for leveling up. That¡¯s not bad.¡± ¡°I still have to wait a month for the Demon Flower Fruit. Oh, look at my brain. Why do I keep thinking about this? The little dragon child is like me, he can¡¯t go without three meals a day.¡± ¡°The Demon Flower Fruit is like an upgrade pill. It¡¯s very helpful to the little dragon now and can be eaten as a meal, but in the future, it can only be eaten as a snack.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s bring the little black dragon out to hunt. Let¡¯s go to the deep forest in the mountains and take a look. Perhaps we can find out why the demon wolf came to the village in the middle of the night to look for food.¡± Thinking of this, Zhang Xing stood up and stretched his body. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Black Treasure. We¡¯ll go to the forest to find food. It¡¯d be best if we can meet magical beasts.¡± The little black dragon happily wagged his little tail, looking extremely eager.

Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing quickly arrived at the mountainous area more than ten miles away from Kimura Village. If he walked further, he would see a primitive forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. Grandpa Village Chief said that the wolves had sneaked into the village along this path. Usually, the villagers only hunted in the outskirts of the mountain area, and they could also catch a lot of pheasants and rabbits. However, today, it was so quiet that even the chirping of birds could not be heard. It really seemed a little unusual. Let¡¯s go inside and see what happened! With the cover of mountains, rocks, and weeds, Zhang Xing reached the edge of the forest. He climbed up a tree and looked around. Suddenly, a huge black bear appeared in front of him. This black bear was too big. Its four-meter-tall body was standing upright on a big tree and rubbing against it. There were beast bones scattered all over the ground beside the black bear. Clearly, this place had become its territory. If his guess was correct, this black bear was most likely a Tier 3 demon beast. Otherwise, the Demon Wolves would not have left the forest to hunt in the more dangerous human villages. This big guy had thick skin and seemed to be very difficult to kill. With his current small physique, he would definitely not be able to win against it. However, he was more agile than the bear, not to mention he had magic and Black Treasure. The Demon Bear suddenly stopped moving. Its nose sniffed the air, and its eyes gradually rose. Swoosh! Zhang Xing, who was a hundred meters away, instantly felt that two icy glares had locked onto him, startling him. What a sensitive sense of smell! It can detect me even from such a distance. ¡°Black Treasure, come out, it¡¯s time to eat!¡± Zhang Xing sent out a thought, and the little black dragon rushed out. Hearing that there was food, Black Treasure looked happy. However, when he saw the big black bear that was already 50 meters away, he instantly revealed the ferocity of a black dragon. An even more violent aura welcomed the running black bear. Crash! The big black bear rampaged all the way, breaking countless trees. When he sensed the black dragon¡¯s aura, he braked suddenly and slid for a distance before stopping. The black bear, which was one Tier higher than the Demon Wolf, also had a relatively high level of spirituality. Although the aura made it feel afraid, it only saw two children. Although it was puzzled, it did not retreat. ¡°Black Treasure, you¡¯re in the air, I¡¯ll be on the ground. Let¡¯s deal with it together!¡± After saying that, Zhang Xing lightly tapped the branch under his feet and flew out. At the same time, Black Treasure transformed into a dragon and flew into the air. When the big black bear saw the transformed black dragon, it paused for a moment before straightening up and roaring at the sky to show its strength. Then, it dragged its majestic body and rushed toward the little black dragon. Zhang Xing, who was more than a meter tall, was automatically ignored by it. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. The next second, the bear did not even spare a glance at Zhang Xing and simply swatted forward with its paw. Crack! However, to the big black bear¡¯s surprise, the weak human child did not turn into mincemeat as it had imagined. It only broke two trees. The child in the big black bear¡¯s sight disappeared. Then, there was a loud bang. Zhang Xing¡¯s fist landed on the black bear¡¯s back, and a strong reaction force immediately bounced him away. In front of him, Black Treasure spat out a stream of dragon flames in the air. The black bear was furious from the pain and wanted to turn around. After weighing the pros and cons, the black bear chose to avoid the dragon flames and ignore the child. However, Zhang Xing was accustomed to using both fists and feet. Taking advantage of the bear¡¯s powerful rebound from its sturdy body, he quickly turned around and landed a kick right in its vulnerable spot. The bear staggered and nearly fell, and the dragon flame scorched its body. If anyone saw a six-year-old child almost kicking a black bear that weighed more than 3,000 pounds, his jaw would definitely drop.

Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Once the little black dragon¡¯s dragon flames hit these low-level demon beasts, it would be very difficult to extinguish them. The big black bear realized the danger and covered its face with its palms. It roared angrily. Furthermore, the howl became louder and louder, and its body expanded by a size. Suddenly, the big black bear¡¯s entire body shrank, and its hind legs fiercely kicked the ground, jumping up with a whoosh. A huge black shadow covered in flames instantly jumped more than three meters high, one head taller than the little black dragon in the air. At the same time, the giant bear raised its two paws high and slapped them at the little black dragon. You may be tall, but can a giant bear grow wings and fly? The little black dragon¡¯s body moved easily, maintaining a height of three meters with the giant bear. Another dragon flame sprayed onto the giant bear¡¯s body. At the same time, Zhang Xing flew up and kicked the giant bear again. The bear¡¯s paws missed and, exhausted, its body uncontrollably plummeted down. It let out an unwilling roar. With a loud crash, it fell, shaking the ground, and its rolling body broke three or four large trees. In the midst of the swirling dust, the giant bear used its paws to dig into the ground, continuously trying to smother the dragon¡¯s flame on its body with soil. Soon, the dragon¡¯s flame was extinguished by the earth. After these two blows, the bear¡¯s fury was completely ignited. It then lifted a large tree, measuring five meters in length and half a meter in thickness, and leaped towards Zhang Xing, ready to strike with great force. The giant bear hated Zhang Xing to the bone, as it was because of him that it failed to evade the dragon¡¯s flame twice. Its body was burning in pain, but its hatred was even stronger. It had given up on the little black dragon in the air. No matter what, it had to kill this hateful child in its eyes. Zhang Xing easily dodged the attack and jumped onto a tree. ¡°Stupid black bear, do you think I¡¯m easy to bully? I¡¯ll let you have a taste of my magic!¡± As he spoke, he made a second leap into the air, holding the large tree high above and smashing it towards Zhang Xing. Suddenly, everything before Zhang Xing turned fiery red. Unpredictably, a sea of flames ignited around the bear¡¯s body. It was Zhang Xing instantly igniting the fire element in the air. The bear was engulfed by the sea of flames, losing its target, and with a plop, it fell from the sky once again. It wanted to repeat its previous strategy and use thick soil to extinguish the flames. However, little black dragon¡¯s dragon¡¯s flame conveniently sprayed once again. ¡°Haha, Black Treasure, let¡¯s have a live roast of this Demon Bear. Control the flames well, don¡¯t burn it to a crisp!¡± Zhang Xing said as he used his spiritual power to mobilize the fire element to burn the giant bear. ¡°Ya! I can smell the fragrance. It looks delicious!¡±The little black dragon in the air added another wave of dragon flames after saying that. The giant bear rolled on the ground and roared. It tried to avoid the dragon flames while trying its best to cover its body with thick mud. After a moment of struggle, the bear realized that these two little ones were not as easy to bully as it had imagined. It immediately had the intention to retreat. The giant bear flipped its body and ran towards the mountains outside the forest without looking back. It knew that there was a big river there. The idea was beautiful, but unfortunately, it could not be realized. Seeing the giant bear¡¯s actions, he knew what it was trying to do. The little black dragon flew in front of the giant bear and continued to roast in the air. Zhang Xing followed closely, adding fuel to the fire from behind. The bear was in considerable pain from the burning flames, running faster than usual. Periodically, it turned its head and snarled at Zhang Xing with an angry gaze, wishing to devour this wicked child in one bite. As for the airborne little black dragon, it had completely lost its temper. The division of demon beast ranks ingrained in its memory made it aware that it could not provoke this black dragon. Especially after challenging little black dragon¡¯s authority and gaining nothing in return but being severely burned, it became afraid.

Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The path ahead is long. What used to be just a few steps away now feels incredibly lengthy. The giant bear¡¯s speed slowed down, and the scorching pain from the dragon¡¯s flame tormented it, causing its consciousness to become chaotic. The roaring sound was barely audible. Finally, it collapsed weakly on the rocky surface of the mountain. Its exhalation was much faster than its inhalation. It looked at the roaring river not far away and unwillingly closed its eyes. ¡°Hehe, Black Treasure, well done!¡± Zhang Xing gave a thumbs-up in praise. ¡°It¡¯s just bigger in size and stronger in strength, nothing special!¡± The little black dragon hovered in the air, disdainful. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go enjoy a feast!¡± With a thought from Zhang Xing, the giant bear and the little black dragon entered the Divine Dragon Island. After some more processing, the Demon Bear meat was sprinkled with some seasonings and salt. After roasting it, they began to eat heartily. During this process, the little black dragon¡¯s saliva kept dripping. His eyes followed Zhang Xing¡¯s every move. After finishing the roast, Little Black Dragon¡¯s eating behavior was indescribable. Zhang Xing could only say it was unbelievably adorable! This unexpected harvest not only solved the danger for the villagers of Kimura when they hunted in the mountains in the future, but also¡­ He had leveled up! However, the Demon Bear¡¯s brain did not produce a magical crystal. Zhang Xing did not know why, so he decided not to think about it. Each of them received 80 EXP. The black dragon had been promoted to Tier 3, so his current EXP was 39/500. Zhang Xing¡¯s advanced warrior EXP was 112/500, and his intermediate magic EXP was 80/100. The little black dragon was now 1.5 meters tall. After transforming, it should be three meters tall. However, he still had the temperament of a child. He would probably only become a big child after he was five years old. After this advancement, the little black dragon¡¯s Dragon Breath magic talent was no longer fire-based, but had become an even more powerful acid. When facing low-level demon beasts like Demon Wolves, a single mouthful of acid would completely dissolve their fur. The bear had experienced firsthand how far it could run. It dared not roar softly at the little black dragon. Upon returning to the village, Zhang Xing informed the village elder that it was safe to hunt in the mountain area and also inquired about the address of the Saint Laurent Magic Warrior Academy. A day later, all the villagers of Kimura Village, old and young, gathered at the village entrance to send Zhang Xing off. ¡°Zhang Xing, when you become a famous mage on the continent, don¡¯t forget us, your fellow villagers!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not doing well outside, why don¡¯t you come back to Kimura?¡± ¡°Little Zhang Xing, remember what you said. You have to build a bigger orchard for me!¡± ¡°Zhang Xing, take care on the way. Be careful¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, uncles, aunties, grandparents, I, Zhang Xing, won¡¯t forget you¡­¡± The villagers waved their hands reluctantly. Zhang Xing looked back three times with every step he took. He was also a little reluctant, but when he thought of his goal of settling down and his grandfather¡¯s last wish, his gaze became firm. He turned around resolutely and strode forward. Watching Zhang Xing¡¯s back gradually disappear, the villagers still stood in the distance and watched him until his back completely disappeared. Old Li, who was standing behind the crowd, was feeling very uncomfortable. He had no children, and he had felt a special kind of happiness in the past few days with Zhang Xing. He turned around and reached his hands into his arms out of habit. He felt a dozen hard objects in his arms. He took them out and was stunned. ¡°It¡¯s gold coins, 12 gold coins!¡± Other than Zhang Xing, who else could put the gold coins into his arms without a sound? Old Li¡¯s eyes were instantly wet! The villagers who had helped Zhang Xing also found a few extra gold coins in their pockets¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Saint Laurent Magic Martial Academy was located in the west of Saint Laurent Castle, which was the sixth largest city in the Stellarsky Empire. In order to get to the academy as soon as possible, Zhang Xing walked during the day and rode on the Black Treasure at night. A normal person would have to ride a horse for more than half a month, but they only used seven days. Of course, they did not travel all night. After hunting and having a good meal, they would enter the Divine Dragon Island to rest. After Black Treasure transformed, his body size had already reached more than three meters. After riding him for a few days, Zhang Xing was already familiar with cooperating with each other to kill demon beasts. An ordinary dragon whelp would need about ten years to evolve to Tier 3, but Black Treasure only took a few days. At this moment, he began to reveal the brutal nature of the black dragon. When hunting demon beasts, he no longer only breathed fire like before. He seemed to be more interested in tearing apart his prey. The second characteristic was that he began to like some shiny, shiny stones and brought these things to his nest. Every time Zhang Xing came in, he would stare at him with extreme vigilance, afraid that this master would snatch his treasures. Because of this, Zhang Xing often teased Black Treasure, saying that these stones were all junk. However, Black Treasure, with its sly demeanor, didn¡¯t care and instead became more determined to search for stones. The third characteristic was that Black Treasure always wanted to challenge more powerful demon beasts late at night. After each battle, he began to meditate for a long time. Zhang Xing knew that in the days to come, Black Treasure would become stronger and stronger. After entering Saint Laurent Castle, he asked around for the location of Saint Laurent Magic Martial Academy, and it did not take long before he found it. From a distance, a cluster of buildings in a medieval European style stood in the farthest west of the fortress. Its scale was several times larger than prestigious schools overseas on Earth. There were four soldiers guarding the entrance of the academy, and next to a small door on the left side, a prominent notice was posted: Entrance Exam Channel. After entering the school gate, Zhang Xing followed some young boys and girls to a square. This was one of the testing points. Some people were already lining up to take the test. Zhang Xing stood at the back and waited. The Saint Laurent Magic Martial Academy offered both martial arts classes and magic classes. Although it was ranked sixth in the Empire graduates from this academy were sought after by influential families or even the Emperor of the Empire. A life of endless glory and wealth awaited them. The academy had a long history of 800 years, and countless powerful warriors and mages had come out of it. Jaeger, one of the six remaining Demon Emperors of the Empire and the Vice Guild Master of the Mage Guild, was appointed as the third Dean. One of the six Martial Emperors, Vice Guild Master of the Martial Arts Guild, Sellite, was the Vice Dean and the President of the Martial Arts Institute. The testing process was very fast. Zhang Xing saw that at the front, there were five crystal balls with a dazzling light, in a polygonal shape, placed on five stands. Five people would be tested at once, simply by lightly placing their hands on the crystal balls. A young teenager, around fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing coarse gray clothes went through the test, and a red halo appeared on the crystal ball. This represented that he had the constitution for fire magic. The young man was obviously very excited. His face was filled with excitement as he walked towards the qualified area while waving his fists. If the poor wanted to stand out, they would either practice magic or practice martial arts. However, becoming a mage and enjoying the respect of all parties was their dream. Compared to that, warriors were somewhat inferior. At the very least, at the level of low-level warriors, their roles were bodyguards, guardians, or enforcers, or they could join the military. If they were lucky enough to survive in the Empire¡¯s army, they would definitely become a small leader. Most of the people in front of Zhang Xing had failed the test. Not only did they have to pay the test fee of eight gold coins, but they also had to bear a heavy psychological burden. They wondered where their lives would lead them from then on!

Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A middle-aged man in a gray robe with three silver lights on his sleeves looked at Zhang Xing with a strange gaze. Although he was a little surprised, he did not say anything. This child gave him a special feeling. Well, he could be described as especially handsome and cute. His pair of big black gem-like eyes were very bright. It was not wrong to say that his physique was strong and gave people a feeling of sunshine, but he could not grasp what that feeling was. Zhang Xing handed over eight gold coins and placed a small hand on the multi-edged magic ball. The middle-aged mage noticed that Zhang Xing¡¯s clear eyes were shining with determination. That calm and steady performance was completely unlike that of a six or seven-year-old child. ¡°Look, the magic sphere is glowing. This child also has magical talent.¡± ¡°Ah! Such a young age and already able to sense magical elements. Truly remarkable.¡± The people around craned their necks, their eyes fixed on the magic sphere. The middle-aged man also showed a hint of interest. The light of the magic sphere grew brighter, surpassing the brightness tested by everyone before. ¡°Wow!¡± someone in the crowd exclaimed. The magic ball that was shining with white light began to tremble. Zhang Xing felt a powerful suction force continuously pulling the magic power and mental power in his body. He could only passively release these two powers, and the magic ball became brighter under his constant charging. ¡°This level has already reached the level of a beginner mage!¡± The middle-aged mage was extremely shocked. Saint Laurent Academy struck gold. If the headmaster knew about this, they would definitely be so excited that they could not sleep. The white light began to transition to a dark red¡­ What? It¡¯s not over yet? How is that possible?! Everyone watched in shock, unable to believe their own eyes. Some were envious, some were jealous, and others had a hostile look in their eyes. It was already heaven-defying for a six-year-old child to have the aptitude of a beginner mage, but from the looks of it, he had clearly not erupted with his full cultivation. Moreover, it was a rather dense fire elemental magic. The middle-aged mage could no longer sit still and jumped up from his chair. The two intermediate mages beside him also widened their eyes in shock and stared at the magic ball. In the 800 years of history of the Saint Laurent Academy, there had never been a student who had reached the level of a beginner mage at such a young age. The person with the highest record was the prodigy Huite from 500 years ago. He was already qualified to be a beginner mage at the age of ten. This kid named Zhang Xing had obviously surpassed Huite by a lot. The dark red light emitted by the magic ball began to turn light red. If it was someone of the same age as Zhang Xing who had monstrous talent, they would probably not be able to hold on at this moment. There was no need to continue the test. This dazzling light red light already possessed the qualifications of an intermediate mage. But Zhang Xing was different. His determination surged forth once again. He wanted to be stronger than anyone else. Today, he had to compete with this magic sphere to see if it could drain all of his power. While controlling his spiritual power to absorb a large amount of magical elements from the air to replenish his body, he desperately tried to prevent the dissipation of his inner power. ¡°Int¡­ Intermediate mage¡­ qualifications!¡± The middle-aged mage joyfully stammered, his words incoherent. Boom! As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd exploded! Great Demon God, are you joking with us? How is this possible? If there were people in the crowd who were jealous and hostile towards Zhang Xing, at this moment, they completely abandoned those feelings. They didn¡¯t dare, they were fearful! If nothing unexpected happened, this child named Zhang Xing would undoubtedly become as renowned as the Six Demon Emperors, or even surpass them in the future!

Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Stop!¡± The middle-aged mage stopped Zhang Xing. He could tell that this child was competing with a magic ball, and could not help but chuckle inwardly, while also deeply admiring Zhang Xing¡¯s determined spirit. Ignorance is forgivable! The magic ball was personally made by the academy¡¯s Dean. Even if you¡¯re just a junior mage, let alone a group of senior archmages, you wouldn¡¯t be able to burst this magic ball. ¡°Zhang Xing, with your exceptional magical power and mental strength, stand behind me and wait for others to finish the test. We will arrange everything together.¡± Swoosh! Everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward Zhang Xing, and the scene fell into silence. The children and mentors from the major families of Saint Laurent Castle, as well as representatives from other city families, all stared at Zhang Xing with fiery eyes. In their hearts, they were all thinking that no matter what, they must recruit this child into their own family. Even if it¡¯s not possible, they still need to establish a good relationship with him. After the test ended, Zhang Xing was assigned to a room for two people to live in. He waited for the official start of his studies at the academy the next day. Although he possessed intermediate magic talent, he was still placed in the beginner magic class. A mentor told him that when learning magic, the first thing to learn is the foundation. Your talent is exceptional, but it doesn¡¯t mean you are an exceptional student who can receive special treatment. It also doesn¡¯t mean you will become a great mage in the future. It sounded reasonable, but Zhang Xing had been hearing such teachings from teachers at school on Earth every day, from primary school to high school, constantly being educated. Now that he had come here, the education of ideological concepts had started again, and it was truly annoying! I¡¯m only six years old, even though I¡¯m a junior mage. Who among you has seen me being proud? Did I say I don¡¯t want to be in the first grade? The instructor had been nagging ever since he was assigned to his dorm. He only stopped after he had familiarized Zhang Xing with the classrooms, cafeteria, library, physical training center, and magic laboratory of the academy. In the end, when the instructor was about to leave, he said, ¡°Zhang Xing, this is the first time I¡¯ve been a guide for a student in my many years as a teacher. This is the first and last time you¡¯ll receive special treatment because you¡¯re very cute!¡± After saying that, the mentor pinched Zhang Xing¡¯s cheek and chuckled before walking away. Zhang Xing looked at the graceful, beautiful, yet somewhat maternal young female mentor¡¯s figure and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s a waste that such a pretty face and figure are not in movies! But she talks too much, my ears are about to be clogged.¡± Swoosh! The female teacher, who was 20 meters away, instantly turned her head around. There was still a happy smile on her face, and a strange look appeared in her eyes. ¡°Zhang Xing, are you talking about me?¡± Ah! Zhang Xing was shocked. She could hear him from so far away. It was really amazing. It must be a wind-type magic talent. ¡°No, I was talking about this tree,¡± Zhang Xing waved his little hand and pointed at a tree in the dormitory area. The female instructor looked at him meaningfully and turned to leave. ¡°This child is quite interesting. He speaks like an adult and acts like an adult.¡± However, she immediately thought of Zhang Xing¡¯s last sentence and her face darkened again. ¡°This little brat finds me annoying.¡± ¡°When he was listening, he acted so earnestly, occasionally nodding like an adult in agreement.¡± ¡°At that time, I felt the supreme honor of being a mentor. It¡¯s indescribable.¡± ¡°So this little brat had already gotten tired of it, yet he pretended to be so similar to me. How naughty! He¡¯s a bad kid!¡± Zhang Xing did not care about what she was thinking. Starting tomorrow, his life of studying magical wonders in another world would begin!

Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, these new students officially began their studies. The commotion caused by Zhang Xing died down with more new and interesting things. He was also learning magic theory knowledge step by step and did not socialize with those classmates from noble families. Before he knew it, he had already been in the academy for more than 20 days. There were only 10 minutes left until a full month, which was also the moment when the Demon Flower Fruits would ripen. However, Black Treasure had obviously lost interest in the Demon Flower Fruits. After all, he was used to eating meat. Who would eat fruits as food? In this month, he had only gone out three times, and it was at night when he sneaked out of the academy. Only then did he dare to ride Black Treasure to the forest further away to catch magical beasts to eat. At this rate, sooner or later, he would be discovered by those even more powerful grand mages. He had to hurry up and upgrade the buildings on the island. The level 1 Dragon Nest was a little small. Black Treasure was growing every day. In a few days, it would not be able to accommodate him. Just upgrading a Dragon Nest would cost tens of thousands of gold coins, and building the Administrative Hall would cost 5,000 gold coins. However, the Administrative Hall could generate 400 gold coins a day, so it was still relatively cost-effective. He looked at the remaining gold coins and distributed 100 of them to the villagers of Kimura. There were only 1,200 left. He still had a surplus of experience points to level up. On the way to the academy, he had also obtained more than 200 EXP from killing demon beasts this month. Especially since his magic EXP had reached 280/100, the warrior¡¯s was 312/500, and Black Treasure¡¯s was 239/500. He did not choose to advance to an advanced mage. His current state was already heaven-defying.If he attracted more attention, his life would become difficult. Zhang Xing planned to spend all his money to nurture Black Treasure. Once Black Treasure became strong, he would not be afraid of anything. Just as Zhang Xing was worrying about how to earn money, the System made a notification sound. [The Demon Flower Fruit is ripe, unlocked the shop panel, unlocked the cultivation technique skills panel.] It was really awesome. Zhang Xing was delighted and took a look at what was there. Opening the second panel of the shop, he found various types of beginner-level Magic Potions, along with their recipes. In the third panel, there were intermediate-level Magic Potions with their recipes. The fourth column, advanced-level Magic Potion, with the recipe. When he looked at the price below, Zhang Xing was stunned. Oh, no, he was shocked. The prices for basic Magic Potions were 200 gold coins. Intermediate Magic Potions were priced at 500 gold coins. Advanced Magic Potions were priced at 1000 gold coins. Wow¡­ Hahaha! I¡¯m rich! I¡¯m rich! The market price of a Basic Magic Potion was about the same as here, about 200 gold coins. However, there was a huge gap between the intermediate and above. The Magic Potion shop sold them for 1,200 gold coins, and the purchase price was 800 gold coins. The advanced Magic Potion was priced at 12,000 gold coins, and the purchase price was around 8,000 gold coins. Why would the system store sell it so cheaply? It was only 1,000 gold coins! Hahaha! He could earn 7,000 coins with just a flip of his hand. There was nothing more profitable than being a middleman. Getting rich was not a dream; it was real. Black Treasure curiously moved its little black face closer. ¡°Master, you¡¯re rich. Why are you so happy?¡± ¡°Haha, you¡¯re right. Black Treasure, we don¡¯t have to worry about money in the future. You can just follow me and eat well!¡± Zhang Xing calmed down after the excitement. He remembered that he was only six years old and a first-year student. It seemed that he would be in a lot of trouble if he were to sell high-level Magic Potions so brazenly. Even if he used the Transformation Magic Potion, it would not work. He was too short. He glanced at Black Treasure, but then shook his head. No, no, no, no matter how Black Treasure changed, it would still be difficult to hide any trace from observant individuals. It was too risky.

Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing pondered for a moment and came up with an idea. At noon, a thin young man in a gray robe and holding a pair of crutches came to a magic pharmacy in the western part of the city. This young man was none other than Zhang Xing in disguise. The shop attendant¡¯s enthusiasm diminished when he saw a disabled customer. ¡°Excuse me, sir, is there anything you need help with?¡± The tone was neither warm nor cold, just a routine question without getting closer. ¡°Selling a bottle of advanced Mana Potion.¡± Zhang Xing changed his voice, sounding somewhat deep. ¡°Hmm?¡± The shop attendant showed a surprised expression in his eyes. Could this person be a mage? However, there was no symbol on his sleeve. He must be a Magic Apprentice. Can disabled people practice magic? The shop attendant put aside these doubts and approached. As long as there was money to be made, other matters did not concern him. He took Zhang Xing¡¯s bottle of advanced potion, opened the small glass bottle, and sniffed it. Then, he dripped a drop on the test agent. A few seconds later, everything was normal. ¡°The purchase price in our shop is 6,000 gold coins.¡± A crafty gleam flashed in the shop attendant¡¯s eyes. Zhang Xing snatched the potion bottle and turned to leave, coldly saying, ¡°The shop next door seems to offer 8,500!¡± ¡°Hold on, sir! 8,500 is impossible. I can give you a maximum of 6,500.¡± Seeing that this kid wasn¡¯t easily fooled, the attendant hurriedly raised the price. ¡°8,300, and that¡¯s final. Otherwise, I¡¯ll go to another shop!¡± Zhang Xing said. ¡°I can give you a maximum of 7,000, and that¡¯s it!¡± The attendant added 500 more. Damn, I¡¯ve never seen such a dishonest shop attendant. He¡¯s probably pocketing a lot of the extra coins. ¡°8,200!¡± ¡°7,500!¡± ¡°8,100!¡± ¡°7,800!¡± Zhang Xing continued to hobble with his crutches towards the door. ¡°Alright, 8,000!¡± The attendant gritted his teeth, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. ¡°Deal!¡± Zhang Xing smiled. Looking at Zhang Xing¡¯s departing figure, the shop assistant snorted and whispered, ¡°He¡¯s about to become a mage and still so stingy, what a miser!¡± Zhang Xing walked to a deserted place and slipped into the island. ¡°Haha, 7,000 gold coins earned!¡± Next, he bought another eight bottles of advanced Mana Potions and went to the largest potion shop. Most of these pharmaceutical shops were businesses of the major families of Saint Laurent Castle. They competed with each other, but they also banded together. When Zhang Xing walked out of the shop, he was noticed by the surrounding families. After asking around, they found out that it was selling advanced Magic Potions. When they saw him appear again, they were a little worried. Could it be that this cripple had a lot of potions? After Zhang Xing finished selling the seven bottles of potions, he felt very happy. It was as if there was a mountain of gold in his spatial storage. As he walked, he felt something unusual behind him. The corners of his mouth curled up coldly. These people had evil intentions. Were they trying to kill him for money? Did he really think that he was a cripple and that he was a fat sheep with over 60,000 gold coins? Indeed, a Magic Apprentice with no background, missing legs, and a lot of high-level potions was a plump lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Zhang Xing held his crutches and walked out of the city unhurriedly. A spiritual power locked onto him from behind, closely monitoring him. Zhang Xing stopped in a forest outside the city. He turned around and looked at the six people who were swaggering behind him. One was an advanced warrior, and two were intermediate warriors. One advanced mage and two intermediate mages. This lineup, used to deal with a disabled person, made them feel like they were making a big deal out of nothing. However, the shop owner was cautious. He wanted to ensure that he got the gold coins from the sale of the seven bottles of potions back. And he also wanted to gain even more.

Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Kid, why aren¡¯t you leaving? Are you tired and want to rest?¡± As they spoke, they laughed. Zhang Xing chuckled. ¡°Gentlemen, you must have a lot of gold coins on you. Are you in such a hurry to give me money?¡± Uh! The few people were stunned. Has this disabled person rusted his brain? ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Just as they were roaring with laughter. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three magic fireballs suddenly flew over, and the speed was so fast that the six people could barely dodge them. Immediately, their expressions changed. ¡°Damn it, you made the first move.¡± ¡°Hand me the weapons¡­¡± Before the warrior could finish his words, three more fireballs flew over. ¡°Ah! He¡¯s not a Magic Apprentice, but at least an advanced mage.¡± An intermediate mage who was dodging cried out in alarm. ¡°Humph! So what if he¡¯s a high-level mage? At such a close distance, there were still three warriors. It was useless no matter how fast they were. Surround him!¡± The advanced warrior sneered. The three warriors immediately drew their greatswords and axes and surrounded Zhang Xing in a triangular formation. The three mages stood three meters behind the warrior. ¡°Kill them!¡± In just a few seconds, these people had completed their offensive formation. With a command, three warriors rushed forward. ¡°What a stupid cripple. Facing the attack of a warrior, why didn¡¯t you retreat? You just stood there like a fool!¡± The high-level mage said disdainfully. ¡°Heh, he¡¯s a cripple, can¡¯t really retreat easily without legs!¡± The intermediate mage next to him wore a mocking expression and continued, ¡°Looks like it¡¯s none of our business. Let¡¯s just watch!¡± At the same time, the advanced warrior leaped up and slashed at Zhang Xing¡¯s head with the huge battle axe in his hand. The other two warriors swung their swords at Zhang Xing¡¯s chest. ¡°Tsk tsk! I really can¡¯t bear to watch. This kid will be chopped into¡­¡± The mage shook his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up cruelly. But in the next moment, he was stunned. His eyes widened in shock as he looked at the unbelievable scene before him. Zhang Xing¡¯s crutches paused, and his body soared into the air, crashing into the warrior in the air at an extremely fast speed. A strange look appeared in the eyes of the warrior. You, a weak mage, want to fight me? Aren¡¯t you courting death? That fierce axe obviously did not cut his opponent. He used this momentum to crash into Zhang Xing. Just as the two of them were about to collide, the advanced warrior even tensed up his explosive muscles. I¡¯ll shatter all the bones in your body and make you a complete cripple. Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he saw a very small fist extend from the gray robe opposite him. It looked like a child¡¯s fist, about the size of his palm. He did not have time to think about it as his body collided with the fist. Bang! After the muffled sound, the warrior felt as if he had crashed into a mountain. His entire body was in extreme pain. He used up all his strength, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably. With a loud bang, a huge pit was smashed into the ground, and his internal organs were rolling around. ¡°Ugh!¡± He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His face was filled with disbelief as he looked at Zhang Xing, who had just landed on a large rock. The two Intermediate Warriors who had missed also looked at him in shock. ¡°No, I can¡¯t! This is impossible!¡± How can a cripple like you have such great strength? You can¡¯t be an advanced warrior! ¡°What is it? He¡¯s an advanced warrior?¡± The three mages nearby subconsciously took two steps back. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation What surprised them even more was that one of the intermediate warriors noticed that Zhang Xing¡¯s body seemed to have become much shorter. ¡°You¡­ You, why can you stand without a crutch?¡± ¡°Because I was never disabled. Why would I need crutches?¡± Zhang Xing stretched out his hand and pulled. The gray robe fell to the ground, revealing his short stature. Then, his face slowly returned to its original appearance. It was time for the Transformation Potion. It was exactly an hour. Boom! Seeing that it was a small child in front of them, the six of them were completely dumbfounded. Their minds went blank, and the muscles on their faces trembled. They pointed at Zhang Xing at the same time. ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± Zhang Xing¡¯s lips curled into an evil smile. ¡°Alright, be surprised when you reach hell!¡± These words, spoken with a childish voice, echoed in the ears of the six people, making them shudder uncontrollably. This wasn¡¯t just a child; it was clearly a demon from hell! Three mages exchanged glances, and from each other¡¯s eyes, they saw one word: Run! Facing a high-level mage who could instantly cast spells, a warrior would die if he did not run. Even if the other party was a child, they did not dare to make a move. The warrior in front of them was a living example. The three mages did not care about the warrior anymore. They had already prepared the Levitation Spell and cast it on themselves. With a whoosh, they ran six to seven meters away. ¡°Hmph, can you run? Black Treasure, come out and exercise!¡± With a thought from Zhang Xing, Black Treasure flew out excitedly. When the three warriors saw that the mages had run away, they immediately wanted to retreat. This devilish child must have a shocking background. If we can¡¯t afford to offend him, we should run too. However, at this moment, they saw another scene that they could not believe. ¡°Third Brother, do you think that¡¯s a dragon?¡± ¡°It looks like one!¡± ¡°Brother, what do you think? Does it look like a dragon?¡± The advanced warrior¡¯s eyes were dull as he muttered, ¡°What do you mean by that? It¡¯s a dragon!¡± ¡°Brother, we¡¯ve caused a big trouble. The legends say that warriors with dragons are¡­¡± ¡°Shut up! Do you want to die? That¡¯s a taboo we can¡¯t talk about!¡± ¡°Brother, we¡¯re going to die anyway¡­ that ferocious kid is coming!¡± The three mages, in the midst of their escape, were secretly rejoicing. ¡°Good thing we ran fast. That kid might not chase after us. We didn¡¯t even touch him!¡± ¡°Mm, you¡¯re right. If we want to kill them, we have to kill those three Warriors first.¡± ¡°Why do I feel that something is wrong? My spine is a little numb!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Plop! The mage turned his head and was so frightened that he fell over. ¡°A dragon? It¡¯s¡­ a dragon!¡± The other two mages, upon hearing these words, instinctively turned their heads to look. ¡°Oh my god! It really is a dragon! He¡­ he¡­¡± Black Treasure¡¯s big eyes held a teasing expression as he grinned widely and spoke, ¡°You guys had fun running, huh? Why did you stop? Keep going!¡± Clang! When the two stunned mages heard this, they fell to the ground. ¡°L-Lord Dragon, we didn¡¯t mean to offend you. Please let us go!¡± ¡°Lord Dragon¡­ Please spare us. I have gems and gold coins. I¡¯ll give them all to you¡­¡± ¡°Lord Dragon, I have some too. Look at the sapphires and rubies!¡± Black Treasure¡¯s eyes lit up, and his expression immediately became excited. He stared at the gem in front of him with a greedy expression. ¡°Wow, they¡¯re so beautiful! These are much prettier than the stones in my own lair. I absolutely cannot let them go. I must have them!¡± ¡°Black Treasure, what are you waiting for? Kill them! All these things will be yours!¡± Zhang Xing hurriedly caught up from behind and saw how Black Treasure, this worthless creature, forgot about the important matters when he saw the gems. Upon hearing his Master¡¯s command, Black Treasure immediately moved his claws, tearing the three mages to shreds, then gathered the gems and coins before returning to Divine Dragon Island.

Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After returning to Dragon Island, Zhang Xing waved his hand and started constructing the Administrative Hall. [Ding! The Administrative Hall was successfully constructed! Cost: 5,000 gold coins.] ¡°Upgrade the Dragon Nest!¡± [Ding! Upgrade successful. Current tier: Tier 2 Dragon Nest! Cost: 10,000 gold coins.] Black Treasure let out a howl and dashed towards his new lair. It was spacious inside, with interlaced caves reaching a height of about five meters, allowing his over four-meter-long body to move around comfortably. After exploring the nest, Black Treasure chose to reside in the innermost cave. He comfortably laid down on the ground, intending to spit out the acquired gemstones. However, he hesitated and decided against it, flying out again. Carefully poking his head out, Black Treasure looked left and right. Then his gaze turned towards the nearby castle. He listened attentively for a while and felt that Zhang Xing was indeed inside. Black Treasure was relieved. He turned around and swam back inside. Then, he spat out a few gems and a pile of gold coins into the corner behind him. Then, he laid on the gold coin and stared at the ruby and sapphire to admire them. The three mages had more than 10,000 gold coins on them. Black Treasure knew that he could not let his master see the gold coins. Otherwise, he would be cheated away by his master. Zhang Xing counted the remaining gold coins. Including the gold coins he got from the three warriors, he still had 55,000 gold coins. After constructing the Administrative Hall, the Congress building was also unlocked. It was capable of producing 800 gold coins per day, twice as much as the Administrative Hall. Building it was a no-brainer. [Ding! The Congress was successfully built! Cost: 15,000 gold coins.] He looked at his EXP again. There were no rewards for building these things. However, Zhang Xing did not mind. The System did not have any missions at the moment, and they mainly relied on killing demon beasts to level up, which was sufficient for now. What he lacked now was magic skills. After learning for a month, he only had theoretical knowledge. He was a new student after all. It was impossible for him to teach skills as soon as he arrived. However, after a few actual battles, he actually released fireballs. He felt that the magic power was not enough to satisfy his craving. He looked at the magic skill section in the shop to see what was available. On the first page, there were basic magic skills: Magic Arrow, Fireball, Attack Speed, Divine Shield, Delaying Spell, Stone Skin Protection¡­ Each priced at 200 gold coins. On the second page, intermediate skills: Explosive Flame Dance, Blinding Gaze, Thunderbolt Lightning, Chain Fireball, Blazing Magic Wall¡­ Each priced at 500 gold coins. The third page, advanced skills: Meteor Shower, Rapid Fireball, Landmine Deployment, Magic Resistance, Earthquake, Beguiling Charm (Hypnosis)¡­ Each priced at 1,000 gold coins. The fourth page, Sorcerer skills¡­ The fifth page, Archmage skills¡­ Then, he looked at the warrior¡¯s skill panel: Skybreaking Fist, Earthsplitting Fist, Sky-Destroying Fist¡­ Priced at 200, 500, and 1,000 gold coins respectively. He decided to learn them all! Although for now, he could only learn up to the skills on the third page. But that was enough to be exciting, hahaha! Zhang Xing laughed loudly, causing Black Treasure to poke its head out and look at its master strangely. ¡°What¡¯s the joyous occasion this time?¡± Then, Black Treasure looked at Zhang Xing. Swoosh! A bright light. ¡°Oh, so Master is learning magic. Nothing interesting. I¡¯m naturally capable without the need for learning. It naturally comes with age through memory.¡± Black Treasure was just about to retract his head when another flash of light appeared. Ummm! Then, Black Treasure stared blankly at the light that flashed one after another. The entire Divine Dragon Island was like a firework display, gorgeous and colorful. ¡°Oh, my Dragon God, how many magic skills has Master learned?¡± Zhang Xing knew that it was difficult to learn these magic skills within the academy. Without accumulating a large number of credits, it was impossible to obtain them. Some students had studied in the academy for eight years, but they still did not have enough credits to exchange for high-level magic skills. To earn credits, they had to complete various assignments, tasks, and even participate in clubs and venture into the wilderness. Zhang Xing spent less than 10 minutes and 11,400 gold coins to learn nearly 20 magic skills. If the entire faculty and students found out, one could only imagine how they would react, probably ending up in tears.

Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing¡¯s face was flushed with excitement. He had just made a lavish expenditure, and it felt truly refreshing. Now that he had mastered both magic skills and warrior techniques, his confidence soared. It was time to choose to advance as an advanced mage. [Ding! Congratulations to the Island Master for leveling up. You are currently an advanced mage. Experience 80/500.] [Next mission initiated. Upgrade black dragon to Tier 4. Current EXP: 239/500] [Construct a Pond, breed aquatic animals, and provide food for the black dragon!] ¡°I can hunt and kill outside to provide the black dragon with food and necessary points to level up,¡± Zhang Xing voiced out the question in his heart. The System replied, [Divine Dragon Island is like a country. It can only become stronger through continuous development and upgrades, allowing the dragons on the island to be nurtured successfully.] [In the future, the island will have lush forests, mountainous woodlands, scorching deserts, vast oceans with towering waves, snow-covered mountains and rivers, and volcanoes with boiling magma. The Island Master needs to construct all of these!] Hearing this, Zhang Xing was indeed a little shocked. He nodded thoughtfully as if he had a clue. He opened the System¡¯s construction panel and found the Pond to construct. A white light flashed in the direction of the orchard, and a two-kilometer-long river appeared. ¡°What? This is considered a Pond? I was wondering why it would cost 10,000 gold coins to build a Pond. Now I understand. In the eyes of the System, a small river is a Pond.¡± He opened the Shop and found aquatic animals. The cheapest one was a big carp. 1 gold coin for 100 fish. The most expensive one was 1,000 gold coins per fish. He could not afford it. He just needed to buy some similar items, but he would spend the gold coins. Since he was breeding animals in the river, he could not focus on just one species. After careful consideration, Zhang Xing bought 10,000 carp, 10,000 crucian carp, 50,000 river prawns, and 30,000 dog-headed fishes. The dog-headed fish was about one to one and a half meters long and weighed about 100 pounds, which should be enough for Black Treasure to eat. Looking at 100,000 fish entering the river, Zhang Xing felt that he had become a big fish farmer. He felt quite accomplished. He still had 17,000 gold coins left, which should be enough for now, but planting forests and creating mountains and seas would require much more. Zhang Xing left Divine Dragon Island and returned to the academy. There were still ten minutes before the afternoon class. He did not go back to his dorm but walked straight into the classroom. At this time, the students were all sitting in their seats waiting for the instructors to come to class. They chatted and joked in twos and threes. ¡°Zhang Xing, come here!¡± Zhang Xing looked over when he heard the shout. It was the thirteen-year-old Linde Clive, the Young Master of West City¡¯s Count Linde family in West City, and also the class monitor. Zhang Xing ignored Clayve, who had freckles all over his face and pale skin. This noble teenager relied on his family background and gathered a few flatterers from low-ranking noble families to establish dominance in the class. During this month since the start of the school, he had approached Zhang Xing three times, asking him to join the Linde family. To put it bluntly, he was Clive¡¯s underling. Zhang Xing ignored him completely. Clive thought that Zhang Xing was afraid of him. The entire class of students thought the same way. Even if you had exceptional magical talent, without strong support from a noble family, you could not develop further. The key issue was that being a mage was a financially demanding profession. If you didn¡¯t have money, how could you level up? They all knew that Zhang Xing had the talent of an intermediate mage, but he hadn¡¯t earned a single credit and hadn¡¯t seen him spend a single penny. Isn¡¯t it obvious? Zhang Xing was dirt poor. If this continued, Zhang Xing would still be at the level of an intermediate mage when he was in his teens, but he would not have the strength of a mage. ¡°Zhang Xing, as long as you join my Linde family, my grandfather said that he would give you five gold¡­ Umm, three gold coins every month, and I¡¯ll personally treat you to wolf meat buns every week!¡± Zhang Xing curled his lips. ¡°I¡¯ve had enough of wolf meat.¡± What? Had enough? Boom! Upon hearing Zhang Xing¡¯s immature voice, the entire class burst into laughter.

Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing did not care about the ridicule of the class. Who made them think they were better just because they were rich? Whether on Earth or here, one thing that remains unchanged is that people laugh at the poor, not the prostitutes. Especially in an imperial system and a society with strict noble ranks. The poor have always been poor for generations, with no social status to speak of. They are even lower than the watchdogs raised by noble families. For poor individuals like Zhang Xing who possess magical talent, once they enter the Magic Academy, they completely shed their identity as poor and start living a superior life. However, this kind of life was only relative to the poor. There was no other reason. In the eyes of the nobles, you were just a vassal, just slightly more important than the servants. ¡°Zhang Xing, stop bragging. Have you seen what wolf meat looks like? Maybe you haven¡¯t even smelled it before!¡± Clive mocked again. The few poor students in the class also joined in, trying to please Clive. Zhang Xing flipped open the book ¡®Beginner Magic Theory Foundation¡¯ and started reading it. He did not want to argue with these kids over something meaningless. This kind of behavior was regarded as cowardice by the entire class. The two poor students took the opportunity to stand up and loudly reprimand Zhang Xing to please Clive. ¡°Zhang Xing, don¡¯t be so stubborn. It¡¯s your honor that Young Master Clive recognizes you. As long as you¡¯re willing to serve him, you can eat anything!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Zhang Xing, you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you. Young Master Clive has already looked for you three times and has already given you enough face.¡± When Clive heard what the two bootlickers said, he nodded slightly at them with an approving expression. These two impoverished students were trying to please him, wanting to be associated with him. Clive was still assessing them because their magical talents were not outstanding, and such servant families were abundant. ¡°Shut up, who do you think you are? Look at the two of you. You¡¯re like two stray dogs. Even if you want to find a dog father, you shouldn¡¯t choose a mangy dog!¡± Miss Sorina was just walking to the classroom door when she heard Zhang Xing¡¯s insulting words. She almost laughed out loud. ¡®This kid is so funny. He has quite a knack for insults.¡¯ Solina quietly turned around and did not enter the classroom immediately. ¡°Zhang Xing, you¡­¡± The two ten-year-old poor students did not know how to retort. Whoosh! The students who were watching the show burst into laughter. As the laughter subsided, the classroom fell silent. The students cowered, using their books to hide their faces while secretly peeking. Many students realized what he meant. When they saw Clive¡¯s gloomy and flushed face, his trembling body, and his tightly clenched fists as if a volcano was about to erupt, they did not dare to laugh anymore. Clive¡¯s lungs were about to explode from anger. A poor kid actually dared to scold the Young Master of the Duke¡¯s family! Is there no law? Does the king¡¯s rule mean nothing? If this were outside the school, with his bodyguards by his side, they would have already caught the insolent child and beaten him on the spot before delivering him to face family justice. This was the first time he had been called a mangy dog, and he never expected it to be so hurtful. In the past, when he cursed the servants and the poor, he felt so comfortable, as if he had drunk a bowl of ice-cold sour plum soup on a scorching summer day! However, today, hearing himself being insulted by a poor person, he felt an immense anger. His noble aristocratic dignity had been ruthlessly trampled upon, and this was absolutely unacceptable! ¡°Oh great God of Fire! Your devout servant Clive needs your help. Please grant me power!¡± Clive chanted in his heart, and the level 1 Fireball Spell was completed. ¡°Go to hell, you peasant scum!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Ah!¡± A scorching fireball appeared in Clive¡¯s hand. He threw it at Zhang Xing¡¯s back without hesitation. His expression turned angry and slightly distorted face was released as the fireball was released. It no longer looked so ferocious, but it was replaced by cruelty. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure you lie in bed for a month even if I can¡¯t burn you to death!¡± The whole class was shocked. Has Lord Clive gone mad? Doesn¡¯t he know that fighting is prohibited in the academy, especially in the classroom, where casting any magic could potentially harm other students? Those who violate the rules will face severe punishment. Fines are just the beginning. They would have to publicly read a self-criticism statement in front of the entire school, and even be expelled! ¡°Zhang Xing, behind you!¡± a classmate shouted in shock. Sorina immediately pushed open the classroom door when she saw this scene. She wanted to go and rescue Zhang Xing, but she was 15 to 16 meters away from him. Even a novice Sorcerer like her could not do anything! ¡°Student Zhang Xing, quickly lie under the table!¡± Sorina anxiously made a pressing gesture at Zhang Xing. Just as Clive sneered, the other students panicked, and the mentor grew anxious, a trace of disdain flashed across Zhang Xing¡¯s face. He sensed the slight disturbance in the air¡¯s fire magic elements. But he did not expect Clive to dare to cast a fireball in the classroom. According to normal thinking, the two children would basically dig out the knowledge they had accumulated and curse in a daze. It was too rare for a fight to break out without a word. Little did Zhang Xing know that the aristocrats¡¯ fragile sense of nobility, cultivated over thousands of years, would collapse even before a barrage of insults. Since you made the first move, I won¡¯t hold back. ¡°Clive, you haven¡¯t mastered this level of the Fireball Spell. It¡¯s slow and weak. The fire element isn¡¯t pure. Why have you been meditating for so many years? Have you fallen asleep?¡± As he spoke, Zhang Xing stretched out a small index finger, and an egg-sized fireball spun on his fingertip. All the students were dumbfounded. They didn¡¯t see Zhang Xing make any movements. Without even turning his head, he merely extended his left hand and raised a finger. Then, the fireball Clive launched seemed to float lightly and landed on Zhang Xing¡¯s fingertip in their eyes. Clive was instantly dumbfounded. All the surrounding students felt extremely puzzled, their faces wearing strange expressions as they watched that fireball. Sorina, who had just taken a few steps, stood frozen in place. However, she quickly reacted and said anxiously, ¡°Zhang Xing, quickly extinguish the fireball¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the fireball suddenly disappear from Zhang Xing¡¯s fingertip, and immediately after, heard Clive scream in surprise and jump up from where he stood. ¡°Ah! I¡¯m on fire! Help me, quick!¡± Only then did the students in the class see a half-foot-long flame shoot out of Clive¡¯s chest! With a whoosh, the students around him all left their seats and hid far away. Clive kept patting his silk shirt with his hands, looking so panicked that he was about to cry. ¡°Hurry up! Hurry up and get me some water!¡± The students next to him were all shocked. Who was going to get him some water? ¡°Use books to put out the fire!¡± A thick beginner¡¯s magic theory book slapped heavily onto Clive¡¯s chest, significantly weakening the flame. Zhang Xing came up with a suggestion. When the other students saw this idea, they threw more than ten books at him. ¡°All of you¡­ Ouch¡­ Hey, don¡¯t use books, I need water!¡± Clive looked down at the fire and avoided the books. The accuracy of those throwing books could not match Zhang Xing¡¯s, or rather, they were even more accurate. One book hit Clive right in the face, and the crisp sound was too much for Zhang Xing to bear. That book must have weighed at least five or six catties, equivalent to two bricks!

Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It had only been three breaths since the fire started, but the smell of roasted meat was already in the air. Not only did the books fail to extinguish the flames, but they also set Clive¡¯s pants on fire. At this moment, Sorina¡¯s water ball arrived. With a splash, Young Master Clive sat on the ground like a drowned rat, gasping for breath. ¡°Clive, go to the medical room and take the medicine. Then come to my office. Zhang Xing, come with me now!¡± After saying that, Sorina took a deep look at Zhang Xing and turned to leave. When they arrived at Sorina¡¯s office, Zhang Xing said before she sat down, ¡°Instructor Sorina, I¡¯m innocent! I¡¯m the victim!¡± Looking back at Zhang Xing, who had an innocent expression on his face, Sorina wanted to laugh, but she held it in. This child¡¯s expressions are truly diverse. It¡¯s such a pity that he didn¡¯t pursue acting in that movie he mentioned on the first day of school. Who knows what peculiar things are going on in his little head? Listening to his description of that so-called movie, it seemed to be like the noble children enjoying a clown performance and also related to profound magic. In any case, her imagination was not as good as this child¡¯s. After sitting down, Instructor Sorina put on a serious face and said, ¡°Zhang Xing, I know this incident is not your fault, and there¡¯s nothing wrong with retaliating against Clive. But by doing so, you will bring yourself a lot of trouble!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still young. You don¡¯t know that you can¡¯t mess with these children of nobles.¡± ¡°The academy treats all of you students equally and does not look down upon children like you who come from commoner backgrounds, so you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°No matter what happens in the future, you should never leave the school alone. If it¡¯s really necessary, come find me. You must firmly remember what I¡¯m telling you!¡± ¡°Do you understand?¡± Upon hearing these words, Zhang Xing felt a deep sense of gratitude that couldn¡¯t be expressed in words. ¡°I¡¯ll remember it, Instructor Sorina!¡± Zhang Xing pursed his lips and nodded seriously, acting like a little adult. Instructor Sorina laughed at this child¡¯s extraordinary talent. He was serious and studious. He was calm and steady. At the same time, it could be seen that his control over magical elements had already reached a rather proficient level. It was just that he had never participated in any activities, so he did not have any academic credits, so he could not learn beginner magic skills. No matter how much she loved this child, she could not teach him in private. The academy¡¯s rules couldn¡¯t be violated. At this moment, Sorina¡¯s eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. ¡°Zhang Xing, there will be a preliminary examination for new students in three days. If you can rank in the top ten, you¡¯ll receive a significant credit reward and be able to learn elementary magic skills!¡± Zhang Xing hesitated, ¡°Well¡­ um¡­¡± ¡°What ¡®well¡¯ and ¡®um¡¯? Why are you talking like the old dean?!¡± Sorina¡¯s face was firm. ¡°It¡¯s settled then. You¡¯re not allowed to hide your talents anymore. A child like you knows how to keep a low profile. Who taught you that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, those old folks in the academy have high expectations for you and won¡¯t mind that little secret of yours!¡± After that, Sorina¡¯s delicate lips curled into a mysterious smile. The expression on her face seemed to tell Zhang Xing that she already knew about his little secret. Zhang Xing¡¯s heart was instantly stirred up. He had been discovered so quickly? However, his expression was as calm as an ancient well. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll listen to Instructor Sorina!¡± Every subtle expression on Zhang Xing¡¯s face was carefully observed by Instructor Sorina, but she did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Could it be that I was mistaken? ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for now. Prepare well in these two days and strive to get a good ranking in three days!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 27 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing walked out of the office and coincidentally ran into Clive, who had just returned after taking medicine. As soon as Clive saw Zhang Xing, his anger couldn¡¯t be contained any longer. ¡°You despicable commoner, be prepared for endless retaliation from my Linde family!¡± ¡°You little brat, don¡¯t let me catch you alone!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Just as Clive was about to continue, he saw Zhang Xing raise his middle finger, with a large fireball floating above it, instantly silencing Clive. ¡°Clive, what are you doing? Hurry up and come inside!¡± Instructor Sorina¡¯s cold words rang out. ¡°Just you wait!¡± Clive pushed open the office door and hurriedly rushed inside, flustered. Upon returning to the classroom, Zhang Xing ignored the discussions among his classmates and fell into contemplation. 15 minutes later, Zhang Xing¡¯s eyes showed a calm expression. The secret hasn¡¯t been exposed yet. Instructor Sorina was testing me. Regardless of whether it was out of curiosity or other motives, he had to be wary of anyone in the future. As for Clive¡¯s threats, I don¡¯t really care. He doesn¡¯t have the ability to keep an eye on me. After a long time, when school was about to end, Clive returned to the classroom. As soon as he entered the classroom, he put on the posture of a Young Master of a noble family. He glanced at Zhang Xing coldly and sat back in his seat. ¡°Young Master Clive, are you alright?¡± a lackey sitting behind him asked in a low voice. ¡°Hmph! What could possibly happen to me? No one can do anything to me.¡± ¡°Spread the word, whoever can beat up Zhang Xing, I¡¯ll give them 100 gold coins. If they break his arm, it¡¯ll be 500 gold coins, and 1,000 gold coins for a leg!¡± ¡°What if they break both?¡± ¡°Are you stupid? Can¡¯t you do the math¡­¡± Zhang Xing was unaware that a bounty had been placed on him. He pretended to study the basics of magic, observing his surroundings. The student next to him looked at Zhang Xing¡¯s brand-new book with a resentful gaze, then looked at his own damaged book and said angrily in his heart, ¡°Why don¡¯t you take care of your own books!¡± After school, Zhang Xing finished his free dinner and secluded himself in his dormitory for meditation. He had only met the roommate once and hadn¡¯t seen them since. Being alone was peaceful! In the early morning, Zhang Xing opened his eyes, changed into a set of night-time black clothes, and silently scaled a five-meter high wall, disappearing into the night sky. Just as he left, two dark figures appeared and followed closely behind. Three figures, one in the front and two in the rear, sprinted at high speed through the dark night. An hour later, Zhang Xing arrived at the back mountain north of the academy. It was a desolate place, with many mines on the mountain, which had been sealed off. It was said that the resources here were exhausted and the miners had all withdrawn. The previous few times, Zhang Xing had summoned Black Treasure here and then went to the forest further away to capture demon beasts. This time was no exception. Just as he was about to call Black Treasure, a creepy feeling made his scalp stand on end. He did not have time to think, and a protective Stone Skin and a Divine Shield covered his body. Then, he accelerated his speed and dodged to the side at high speed. However, his speed was still a bit too slow. Boom! A powerful force sent him flying over five meters away, shattering a half-meter high rock. Zhang Xing¡¯s short body rolled on the ground twice before standing up immediately. ¡°Eh? He¡¯s actually fine?¡± A deep and mocking voice sounded. ¡°Haha, Second Brother, you¡¯re just an intermediate Ice Sorcerer. If you can¡¯t even kill a child, then you¡¯ve wasted your 40 years of training!¡± ¡°Big Brother, didn¡¯t you see that little brat stack two novice defensive spells on his body? His casting speed is really fast!¡± ¡°Second Brother, he even used a novice acceleration spell. Tsk tsk! It¡¯s a pity to kill this child. He¡¯s a rare genius!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation If Zhang Xing had not cast the spell in time, he would have been severely injured if not dead. Even a combat master of the same level would not be able to withstand the sneak attack of an intermediate Sorcerer, let alone an advanced one. Zhang Xing¡¯s mana and mental strength had long surpassed the standard of an advanced mage, and he was no weaker than a beginner Sorcerer. In addition, the person who ambushed him did not use his full strength, so he was not injured. However, the anger in his heart was ignited. How could an Intermediate Sorcerer do such a despicable thing? This was intolerable! So what if he was an Intermediate High Mage, he would do the same! Swoosh! Swoosh! Two instant-cast novice magic arrows flew toward the two of them. ¡°Pfft! How dare you show off your insignificant skills in front of us!¡± The two Sorcerers snorted and waved their hands casually. Two more powerful magic arrows scattered Zhang Xing¡¯s magic. ¡°I wanted you to underestimate me!¡± ¡°Do you think that a seemingly ordinary novice spell is so useless?¡± Zhang Xing did not stop. He cast the Delaying Spell and Blinding Gaze on the two Sorcerers. Thunderbolt Lightning! Followed by an instant cast of advanced magic! The two Sorcerers realized that their movements had suddenly slowed down, and their expressions changed as they cried out in alarm. They were about to recite the spell to dispel this magic, but a greater danger was approaching, so they quickly cast protective magic on themselves. Then, their vision turned black and they could not see anything. Then, two silver bolts of lightning came out of the night and struck their heads. The two Sorcerers¡¯ heads instantly caught fire, and their clothes were tattered and damaged. After being attacked, the blindness spell on them lost its effect and their eyes regained their vision. Since they were two levels higher than Zhang Xing, the magic power in their bodies was much higher. The effective time of the Delaying Spell was only three seconds. Their bodies returned to normal, but their state of mind was far from normal. ¡°You¡­you little brat, I¡­¡± Before the Sorcerer could finish his sentence, he felt his own mouth moving slower again. The other Sorcerer had just raised his hands and started chanting in slow motion. They were truly at a loss for words. The current state of mind for the two Sorcerers could be described as¡­ miserable! They did not expect the child that Young Master Clive mentioned to be so troublesome! Moreover, he was not a beginner mage who only knew one Fireball Spell as the Young Master had said. Damn, he¡¯s even more advanced than an advanced mage! He played with these magic skills effortlessly. They never imagined that seemingly insignificant low-level magic could have so many variations. As they thought about it, Zhang Xing¡¯s blindness spell came again. They could not see anything again, and the magic power in their bodies flowed slowly. They were deeply immersed in the fear of darkness. Crack! Crack! Two more Thunderbolt Lightning flashes! This time, the lightning had broken through their defensive magic and they were slightly injured. They still had the ability to fight. But how could Zhang Xing give them a chance? Using only these three spells, he slowed down their speed, blinded them again, and then struck them with lightning! The two high and mighty Sorcerers were like two pillars, waiting to be struck. They were filled with hatred, anger, and frustration, all of which showed on their red faces. But they were charred by the lightning, turning into dark figures. It was impossible to discern these complex and moving expressions. The most hateful thing was that they could not even speak¡­ If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing cast a Delaying Spell with both hands. ¡°Mm Lords, how do you feel? It must be very uncomfortable, right? That¡¯s good! With a swoosh, he cast a Blinding Gaze spell. ¡°Why do you adults always bully me, a little child? Do you really think I¡¯m easy to bully? Did Clive send you?¡± With a whoosh, he cast a Thunderbolt Lightning spell. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to use such an unexciting method to deal with you. Who asked you to make me angry!¡± Zhang Xing continued to cast spells, his mouth and hands moving ceaselessly for a while. ¡°Hmm! It should be enough now!¡± At this moment, the two Sorcerers had already been struck to the point where they could no longer breathe. They were dead! However, Zhang Xing was still worried. As long as they were given a chance, the consequences would be very serious. Therefore, Zhang Xing only stopped his magic when he thought that he was dead. So, he continued using magic until he was certain they could not possibly be more dead, and then he stopped. Due to the lack of time, Zhang Xing and Black Treasure did not go deep into the forest. They only hunted a few Tier 2 and 3 magic wolves in the periphery, and then quietly returned to the school. After returning to the dormitory, Zhang Xing¡¯s eyes shone with golden light, filled with excitement. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the two Sorcerers to be so wealty. I seized a little over 100,000 gold coins!¡± Much richer than those three mages last time.¡± ¡°My assets are now approximately around 120,000. Not bad, not bad!¡± ¡°Eh? Where did the two blue gems go? I saw it just now!¡± Zhang Xing entered the Divine Dragon Island and dumped all the seized items on the ground in the Congress Hall. When he was done sorting them out, a few gems were missing. ¡°Black Treasure, you little scoundrel¡­¡± He called out several times, but Black Treasure did not respond. ¡°He must have stolen them!¡± Earlier, Black Treasure had transformed into a human form, sneaking around with a thieving demeanor. Zhang Xing did not have time to bother with him. In less than two minutes, Black Treasure was gone. He thought that he had eaten his fill and went to sleep. ¡°This greedy and money-loving little black dragon. I was planning to give them to you, why are you in such a hurry!¡± ¡°Oh well, I have to go and see. Who knows how much of my property this little scoundrel has embezzled!¡± Zhang Xing stealthily entered Black Treasure¡¯s lair, twisting and turning until he found where he resided. Peering into the hiding spot, he exclaimed, ¡°Ah!¡± Black Treasure was examining several gems, saying to himself, ¡°This blue one is the biggest and the most beautiful¡­¡± There were also piles of gold coins in the corner, seemingly over 10,000 of them, while the rest were just some worthless stones. Zhang Xing could not help but feel curious about where Black Treasure got the gold coins from. After a moment of realization, he chuckled and said, ¡°I knew it! Those three mages were as poor as me because this little black rascal embezzled from them!¡± It was amusing to think about. Black Treasure had no use for the coins, so why hoard them? However, there was nothing he could do. As the little black dragon grew up, he became interested in treasures. It was his nature. So, Zhang Xing decided to let him keep them. After all, they would eventually be his. Quietly leaving, Zhang Xing exited the space and returned to the dormitory, where he began to calm down and reflect on the battle. Judging from his current advanced level capablities as a mage and warrior, he would not be afraid even if he encountered an advanced Sorcerer or advanced Martial Artist. Of course, in this case, the two sorcerers were underestimating him and were caught off guard. If the opponents were more cautious, such as if the Sorcerers had cast defensive magic beforehand, relying solely on his existing magic skills would have been quite challenging. However, let¡¯s not forget that he was also an advanced warrior. He could use a Savage Charge to quickly close the distance. Followed by a Skybreaking Fist, even an advanced Sorcerer would likely be KO¡¯d in an instant!

Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Three days later, the questions for the mock exam were out. As usual, the 50 newly enrolled young students were gathered on-site to answer the questions, in order to assess their understanding of the magic theory they had studied for over a month. There were a total of 100 questions, and each question was given one point. It was evaluated and graded by Sorina and the judging panel. In a spacious examination room spanning 500 square meters within the academy, 49 children were already seated. The chief examiner, Sorina, was accompanied by ten judges representing different disciplines. There were only three minutes left before the exam began. Sorina glanced at the children¡¯s faces. She saw nervousness, listlessness, and dejected expressions on their faces. It was just a simple routine test, so why were they showing such bitterness and resentment? It seemed like all the students in the academy had developed a common habit. As soon as they heard the word ¡®exam,¡¯, they immediately drooped their heads, almost burying their faces in the ground, trying to avoid the test. ¡°Hmm! Why is there still an empty seat? Who didn¡¯t come?¡± Sorina noticed that one person was missing. She scanned the children once again and quickly identified the target ¡ª the absence of Zhang Xing from the fifth group. The 50 students were divided into 5 groups, allowing them to discuss and answer the questions collaboratively or compete to answer first. 50 points were allocated for the group questions, while the remaining 50 points were awarded for individual quick-response questions. However, a new rule was added this year: If any student disagreed with the one who answered first, a debate could be initiated. The result of the debate was decided by the examiner and the panel of judges. Rewards were set for the top group and the top ten individuals. Glancing at the magic clock, there was only one minute left. Would this little one really not show up? Zhang Xing was not absent; he was intercepted by two students from a higher grade as soon as he stepped out of the dormitory. ¡°Your name is Zhang Xing, right?¡± A 15 or 16-year-old boy with a smile on his face said kindly. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhang Xing nodded in confusion. ¡°It¡¯s like this. We have a small favor to ask of you,¡± the smiling boy looked around and said. ¡°Let¡¯s go over there to talk. It¡¯s not convenient here.¡± He even politely extended his hand in a gesture of invitation. The other boy also smiled in agreement. ¡°Oh, alright then!¡± Zhang Xing moved towards the corner. The two older boys behind him revealed a smirk of success. As they disappeared around the corner of the dormitory, no matter which direction one looked from, nothing could be seen of what was happening there. A few seconds later, a muffled thud came from the corner, followed by Zhang Xing calmly walking out with a mocking smile on his lips. ¡°You fell for my trick. You still have a long way to go. I used to play this game when I was in elementary school!¡± Just as Zhang Xing entered the examination room, the clock struck the hour. Sorina glanced at Zhang Xing and then looked away. She smiled and said, ¡°Alright, everyone is here. The test begins!¡± ¡°The first question is a quick-response question. Please state your opinions based on the magic demonstration I just performed.¡± Sorina walked to a desk about three meters long, took the beaker from the flame, and put it aside. The boiling water inside was still boiling. Then she softly chanted two sentences and, with her hands about a foot away from the beaker, gently flicked upwards. Something magical happened ¡ª the steam from the boiling water disappeared. ¡°Now, I¡¯ve instantly lowered the temperature of this cup of water to about five degrees. If any student feels that it¡¯s hot, you can take a sip to cool it down.¡± Whoosh! The children below burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere in the air eased a bit. ¡°The test begins!¡± Instructor Sorina announced, and the examination room fell silent.

Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ding! Two seconds later, the first group¡¯s bell rang. ¡°Good! Please answer, Clive.¡± Clive proudly stood up. Having received teachings from his family since childhood, he was quite familiar with the basics of magic. He had memorized a basketful of knowledge in his head. ¡°This question is simple. My answer is just one sentence: Instructor Sorina used advanced ice magic to rapidly cool down boiling water, which is to teach us that magic should be concise and swift! That¡¯s my answer!¡± The students of the first group all looked at him with admiration, and a few bootlickers even gave him a thumbs-up. Although Sorina was dissatisfied with this kind of answer, she couldn¡¯t say it was wrong. After all, these were just children, and their understanding was still limited. ¡°With five seconds and no one presenting a different viewpoint, Clive gets one point.¡± Here, one point referred to an actual credit, which was a benefit for new students. ¡°Five, four, three, two¡­¡± Ding! Seeing the number displayed, Sorina smiled. It was this little guy. ¡°Zhang Xing, please express a different viewpoint.¡± All eyes turned to Zhang Xing, including a resentful gaze from Clive. He touched his chest, although his injuries had healed, he would never forget the pain he had endured. Just a moment ago, when he saw Zhang Xing enter, he was wondering why nothing had happened and why those two intermediate class students hadn¡¯t blocked him. Just as he was about to obtain a free credit, in the last second, Zhang Xing jumped out to challenge him. It really infuriated him. Well, what can a child from a poor family like you know about theoretical knowledge? What different thing can you say? At the thought of this, a mocking expression appeared on Clive¡¯s face. The entire audience listened as little Zhang Xing spoke confidently, making everyone stare in amazement. ¡°Instructor Sorina¡¯s question tests our understanding of the fundamental rules behind magic. Clive¡¯s answer appears pale in comparison. Anyone can see that it¡¯s the effect of ice magic. Do you really need to state the obvious?¡± All the students looked at Clive. It was the truth. They all knew that it was ice magic, but no one dared to answer first. Clive¡¯s face instantly turned red with anger. Zhang Xing raised his little hand and pointed his index finger upward. ¡°And my understanding is¡­ the Sano Measurement!¡± ¡°What¡¯s Sano?¡± ¡°Usually, we refer to magical elements as Sano. Sano is the magical element.¡± ¡°You can check this in the book, on page 365, line 19 of the basic knowledge section.¡± Saying this, Zhang Xing cleared his throat with a serious expression, eliciting a chuckle from the instructor and the judging panel. Well, this child really had an adult-like demeanor! ¡°Magical elements are neither substances nor energies.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s in the air, in each of our bodies.¡± ¡°Then how does ice magic cool the boiling water down so quickly?¡± ¡°This involves the rules of magic, and that brings us to another term, the medium of induction.¡± ¡°The explanation of the medium of induction can be found on page 366, line 46 of the textbook.¡± ¡°It is the presence of the medium of induction that allows Sano to form energy, to form matter, and thus, different magical skills of various disciplines.¡± ¡°The energy in boiling water may seem high, but it is smaller than the energy of the ice discipline in the medium of induction. Thus, the bigger fish consumes the smaller fish, and heat energy is devoured by ice energy, instantly saturating the temperature.¡± That concludes my answer!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Silence. It was especially silent! All the students were dumbfounded, their faces filled with astonishment as they stared at Zhang Xing as if he were a monster. He memorized a book that¡¯s half a foot thick in just one month? Oh my goodness, whether from a humble family or a noble one, children his age usually have their minds filled with either food or play. But he¡­ his mind is entirely filled with knowledge! It was unbelievable! Whoosh! The examination hall burst into applause. Instructor Sorina wore a happy smile, applauding while nodding continuously. This child indeed appears mischievous and incredibly intelligent! A few seconds later. ¡°The applause has already indicated the answer. Zhang Xing gets an extra point!¡± Clive gnashed his teeth in hatred¡­ ¡°Please listen to the second question. It¡¯s a historical question. Please explain the origin of spells.¡± Upon hearing the question, Clive¡¯s eyes lit up. He knew the answer to this question since he was as young as Zhang Xing. ¡°Tsk, bah! How can I be compared to that wretched commoner, Zhang Xing?¡± Ding! ¡°And once again, our class monitor Clive takes the initiative to answer. He sets an example for us students and plays a leading role. We hope other students will also actively participate!¡± Upon hearing the instructor¡¯s praise, Clive revealed a slightly shy expression, but mostly an expression of pride. Unconsciously, he imitated Zhang Xing and raised his index finger. ¡°Spells were developed and perfected by the Six Towers Association of our Stellarsky Empire over thousands of years of continuous experimentation.¡± ¡°More precisely, during the first 500 years, magic was a rare field of study, with only a few individuals possessing the knowledge.¡± ¡°And the adults of the Six Towers Association were among those few.¡± ¡°In the subsequent 500 years, through their relentless efforts, magic was widely spread throughout the Empire, allowing us noble children to learn and utilize it from textbooks.¡± ¡°Since then, magic is no longer as mysterious, and it has been further developed and promoted by us nobles until today!¡± ¡°Answer complete!¡± When Clive sat down, he glanced at Zhang Xing. ¡°I¡¯ve said everything I need to say. Let¡¯s see what else you can say. This point is definitely mine.¡± Instructor Sorina nodded with satisfaction, and the jury of instructors also expressed their approval. Just then, ¡°Ding!¡± a sound rang out, and Zhang Xing stood up. ¡°Student Clive¡¯s explanation is incomplete, and there are two mistakes.¡± What was that? Mistake? Clive stared at Zhang Xing in disbelief. ¡°Hmph! Making baseless accusations, nitpicking. It¡¯s written exactly like that in the textbooks. Could the textbooks be wrong?¡± Instructor Sorina and the jury also looked curious. ¡°Student Zhang Xing, if you randomly point out mistakes that aren¡¯t mistakes, we will deduct one credit from your score,¡± a pale-faced jury member said coldly. ¡°Yes, Zhang Xing, deducting points is part of the test¡¯s rules, so you should answer carefully,¡± Sorina reminded. ¡°May I begin?¡± Zhang Xing said calmly. Sorina said, ¡°Student Zhang Xing, please start answering the questions. You can¡¯t repeat the answers of the previous student!¡± ¡°The first mistake: The Six Towers Association does not belong to the Stellarsky Empire; it is a magical organization standing at the pinnacle of the Sacred Dragon Continent.¡± ¡°If the Six Towers Association were to find out that our esteemed class monitor has classified them under the Stellarsky Empire, I wonder if your family could still be protected?¡± Swoosh! Clive broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°Hmph! It was just a slip of the tongue. Zhang Xing, don¡¯t dwell on these trivial matters,¡± the pale-faced jury member spoke up. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Alright, this is a small matter.¡± ¡°The second mistake, the origin of magic was not 1,000 years ago but 2,500 years ago!¡± Boom! ¡°Zhang Xing, you¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Clive stood up abruptly and shouted loudly. ¡°Baseless claims! Zhang Xing, deduct one credit point from you and disqualify you from the test,¡± the pale-faced instructor slammed the table angrily. ¡°This child¡¯s performance on the first question was amazing. How could he make such a mistake now? It¡¯s clearly recorded in the history of magic, a history of 1,000 years!¡± ¡°Silence! Sit down, all of you!¡± Sorina struck the bell. The examination hall fell silent. ¡°Instructor Sorina, this student Zhang Xing is ignorant and disrespectful of history. I suggest deducting his credits and removing him from the examination room!¡± the pale-faced instructor said with a grim expression. Sorina glanced at him meaningfully. ¡°Mentor Taer, you went a bit too far. The purpose of the test is to allow students to express different opinions, correct the wrongs, and encourage the right ones. That¡¯s also the rule of the examination room.¡± ¡°If misspeaking is considered disrespectful to history, shouldn¡¯t Clive be the first one to be removed from the examination room?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Taer sat down sulkily. ¡°Zhang Xing, let¡¯s put the question of the origin time aside for now. Please continue,¡± Sorina smiled kindly at Zhang Xing. The examination room was chaotic just a moment ago, with almost everyone¡¯s gaze unfriendly, especially Taer, whose expression seemed ferocious. However, little Zhang Xing stood there as if nothing had happened, showing no trace of fear. Not to mention, he had a bit of manliness. Sorina really wanted to pick him up and kiss him. Then, she asked him why he was not afraid at all! If Zhang Xing knew what Instructor Sorina was thinking, he would be laughing wit glee. ¡°Then I¡¯ll continue. If anyone else interrupts me, then I won¡¯t participate in this test.¡± Sorina found it amusing in her heart; this child was quite principled. ¡°Let¡¯s return to the topic of the origin of spells. The ancients called magic ¡®spiritual arts,¡¯ while our current magic is referred to as ¡®spells.''¡± ¡°Spiritual arts are magic that can be directly released, while spells require the construction of a medium of induction.¡± At this moment, Zhang Xing noticed that Sorina and the panel of judges seemed somewhat strange. Their gazes toward him appeared¡­ respectful! Moreover, they sat up straight and bent down. The entire examination hall suddenly became especially quiet, and only his slightly childish voice continued. Something was not right. As he spoke, he gestured with his hands. No one noticed that a small bronze mirror had appeared in his palm. He glanced behind him using the small bronze mirror. Oh! There were at least 50 people, a dark mass of individuals. What was going on? Why were so many instructors here? When he turned the small bronze mirror to another angle. Ugh! An old man appeared in the mirror with a half-smile, as if he was winking at him. My goodness, isn¡¯t that the old Dean? What is he doing here? Zhang Xing pretended not to see it. With a flick of his wrist, the bronze mirror disappeared. ¡°However, spiritual arts are not something you can learn just because you have magical talent. To solve this problem, some ancient sages gathered together and formed the Oledo Organization.¡± ¡°This organization is the embryonic form of the Guild of Magic.¡± ¡°They combined spiritual arts with spells and invented a new form of magical application.¡± ¡°However, this new form is even more mysterious and powerful, surpassing anyone¡¯s abilities to this day!¡± ¡°Later generations called it the Oledo Magic System, an exclusive and the most powerful system.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing paused for a moment and thought about it. Clive had covered the rest, so there was no need to add anything else. Besides, they did not seem to understand the magic history of their continent. And what they knew was centered around the Stellarsky Empire. But you should know that the Stellarsky Empire is just a tiny land on the Saint Dragon Continent. How can they be described? Ignorant and self-righteous? ¡°Well, I¡¯ve said everything I wanted to say. That¡¯s it!¡± After speaking, he sat down calmly. Five seconds passed, and the entire hall fell silent. No one spoke, and there was no applause. The students listened eagerly, as if they were hearing a fascinating story. Zhang Xing finished speaking so quickly that they felt like they had not heard enough. The judges were at a loss as to what to say. They looked at each other, not knowing if it was true or not. They could not give a score. ¡°Well¡­ what Zhang Xing said is just hearsay that cannot be verified. Let¡¯s consider¡­ considering Clive¡­¡± As he spoke, he secretly glanced towards the entrance. Seeing that the Dean did not say anything, he continued, ¡°Due to significant differences in opinions on the second question, the evaluating mentors and the chief examiner voted. Clive received nine votes, Zhang Xing received two votes. Clive gets one point, while Zhang Xing neither gains nor loses points.¡± Zhang Xing sat there without saying anything. He could not help but feel a little disappointed. In such an environment, what could he learn from these so-called instructor cliques who clung to the rich and powerful? That instructor named Taer was clearly a lackey of the Linde family. There was no need to be so blatant in flattery for a simple test! Clive glanced at him triumphantly and muttered under his breath, ¡°Ignorant and full of nonsense!¡± Sorina smiled helplessly at Zhang Xing. There was nothing she could do about the rules. She seemed to have some impression of what Zhang Xing said. At that time, she was still young and was not interested in these boring words. Therefore, she felt that she should support Zhang Xing. ¡°The test continues. Please listen to the third question. Use the incantation provided by me to complete this magic within one minute. State its type and its historical origin.¡± After speaking, Sorina waved her hand, and the magic question board in front of each group displayed a short incantation consisting of a dozen characters. Zhang Xing took a look. This was too easy. He did not give Clive a chance and snatched the initiative. Ding! Everyone looked at the bell in surprise. As soon as the question board appeared, someone rushed to answer it. Some students did not even have time to look at it. ¡°Zhang Xing, please begin your answer!¡± Zhang Xing walked to the vacant area in front of his group and stood there. He pretended to mutter, ¡°Oh, God, save me. I¡¯m getting old and still have no lover¡­ Amen, grant me power!¡± Sorina frowned upon hearing it. What kind of chaotic and incomprehensible notes were those? How could anyone understand a single word? Can magic be successfully cast like this? She could not understand; Zhang Xing was using Earth¡¯s English. After dawdling for a while, Zhang Xing opened his arms and looked up at the sky. Swoosh! A silvery-white light barrier covered his entire body. ¡°Ah! It was completed so quickly? What a genius!¡± ¡°I just finished half of it.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve read it, but I can¡¯t remember it.¡± ¡°Humph! He must have learned this spell in advance!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zhang Xing continued speaking. ¡°This is an auxiliary magic in the elementary magic category, Shield Spell. It is a defensive magic commonly used among the five elemental magic systems.¡± ¡°It traces its origins back to ancient times and is one of the few commonly used five magic systems passed down from ancient times.¡± ¡°It follows the Oledo Magic System and comes right after it, known as the Wosesburg Magic System.¡± ¡°That¡¯s my answer!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Ding!¡± Clive stood up with a look of contempt. ¡°Great God of Magic, your loyal subject, Clive, requests your protection. Please grant me strength!¡± A white light descended upon him, but it disappeared after just three seconds. Meanwhile, Zhang Xing¡¯s shield remained intact. However, the question did not specify how long the shield needed to be maintained; completing it was sufficient. ¡°Zhang Xing¡¯s answer is nothing but nonsense. Shield magic originates from the Six Towers Association. End of discussion!¡± The ten instructors on the judging panel had different expressions, but they all shared the same question in their minds: Why does Zhang Xing always talk about unknown historical anecdotes? It was clearly written in the textbooks of the Stellarsky Empire that the primary magic theory covered this in great detail. He should have seen it, or maybe he only remembered the content of the first question. Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, his subsequent answers wouldn¡¯t differ so greatly. The instructors quickly found the source of Zhang Xing¡¯s nonsensical stories. They quietly discussed among themselves. ¡°Zhang Xing, all of us instructors unanimously criticize you. If you don¡¯t know, then don¡¯t make things up.¡± ¡°Furthermore, please refrain from treating the unrealistic rumors spread among your impoverished people as history.¡± ¡°If you make the same mistake again, we, on behalf of the Saint Laurent Magic Martial Academy¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Before Taer could finish speaking, a stern shout interrupted him.. The one speaking was Jager, the third dean of the Magic Martial Academy, one of the six remaining Demon Emperors of the empire, and the Vice Guild Master of the Guild of Magic. ¡°I think you guys are the ignorant ones. You guys are the ones who are spouting nonsense!¡± ¡°You think you can represent the Saint Laurent Magic Martial Academy with that kind of behavior?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t represent anything, not even yourselves!¡± ¡°You keep talking about the impoverished and the nobles. Without the impoverished, where would you be?¡± ¡°Your ancestors were savages three hundred years ago!¡± At the same time, the ten instructors hurriedly stood up, bowed their heads, placed their right hands on their chests, and greeted the Dean with the highest respect in the magical world. ¡°Greetings, Dean!¡± All the students also stood up, showing their respect as students and simultaneously said, ¡°Greetings, Dean!¡± Everyone bowed and listened attentively to the instructions of the Dean, not daring to raise their heads. Jaeger quickly walked out of the door. ¡°From the second question onwards, Zhang Xing¡¯s answers have been correct. There was nothing wrong.¡± ¡°Your initial reaction was somewhat understandable since ignorance is not a crime, but some people¡¯s behavior was simply uncalled for.¡± ¡°You are all instructors of the Magic Martial Academy, responsible for guiding and educating students. You should be observing every word and every action of your students.¡± ¡°Even if you couldn¡¯t come to a conclusion regarding the third question, are all of you blind?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see Zhang Xing¡¯s magical talent? Can¡¯t you see that his shield magic has yet to disappear?¡± The ten instructors trembled, lowering their heads even further. Sorina felt a sense of relief in her heart. Her father¡¯s scolding was truly satisfying! Zhang Xing raised his head and looked at Dean Jaeger. Finally, someone stepped forward to uphold justice. This white-bearded old man is truly powerful! Just as I said, how could such a large Magic Martial Academy not have a single wise person? Jaeger was not tall, and his chubby face had few wrinkles. If it was not for his white hair and beard, he would have looked like he was in his forties. Little did Zhang Xing know that Dean Jaeger was not very old. He had just turned 50.

Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Dean Jaeger took his work very seriously and could not tolerate any mistakes. He had a hot temper and was known for his strictness. ¡°The origin of magic does date back 2,500 years ago, and those old books in the library of the academy have recorded it.¡± ¡°Not a single one of you bothered to flip through and take a look.¡± ¡°Zhang Xing¡¯s understanding, or rather, his objective explanation based on his own comprehension, is correct. He didn¡¯t simply regurgitate the theories from the books.¡± ¡°Of course, what he said is not entirely comprehensive. After all, he has only been studying for a month, and he is only six years old.¡± ¡°But it was this six-year-old who gave you a hard lesson by fiercely slapping your faces today.¡± ¡°With his theoretical level, he can totally be your instructor.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve emphasized time and time again that learning magic isn¡¯t something easy, and we can¡¯t blindly pursue innovation.¡± ¡°When I talk about innovation, it¡¯s about seeking breakthroughs based on a solid foundation of knowledge, not cherry-picking or imagining things out of thin air!¡± After a pause, Dean Jaeger softened his tone and continued, ¡°That¡¯s all I wanted to say. Carry on.¡± After finishing his statement, Dean Jaeger walked to the entrance and greeted the other high-ranking members of the academy, who were sitting in the audience area, attentively listening to the new students¡¯ answers. ¡°Students, because our instructors made a wrong judgment just now, we apologize to everyone here.¡± ¡°When you make a mistake, you need to acknowledge it, learn from it, whether you are an instructor or a student.¡± ¡°For the second question, Zhang Xing will be given one point, while Clive will have one point deducted. However, Clive¡¯s theoretical level is also excellent, and I hope this deduction won¡¯t affect his performance in the subsequent questions.¡± After Sorina finished speaking, she led the applause, and the meaning behind it was self-evident. The entire examination hall was immediately filled with thunderous applause, especially from the ten judges who were instructors. Their palms turned red from the clapping. They had to put in more effort. If even the dean and the high-ranking officials were applauding, how could they not perform well in the future? ¡°Let¡¯s continue with the exam. Please listen to the fourth question!¡± Looking at the students, Zhang Xing appeared calm and relaxed, while Clive perked up, showing a nervous expression. ¡°Please state your understanding of Instantaneous Magic. Begin!¡± Ding! ¡°Student Zhang Xing, please answer!¡± Amidst the envious gazes of his classmates and the astonished looks of the instructors, Zhang Xing calmly stood up. ¡°The so-called Instantaneous Magic is the utilization of pure medium to cast spells.¡± ¡°In this context, there are two concepts involved: pure medium and constructed symbols, but I won¡¯t explain them one by one.¡± ¡°Many of you may have seen or heard that some powerful mages don¡¯t even need to chant spells. They can casually cast spells one after another as easily as throwing stones.¡± ¡°It¡¯s commonly believed that these mages have reached the pinnacle of understanding magic and have comprehended the essence of the spell.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not entirely wrong to think that way, but in reality, it¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°No one can directly utilize pure medium to release magic.¡± ¡°The great figures we admire, who can perform Instantaneous Magic, also require time to cast their spells. Among them, there are variations in speed as well.¡± At this point, some of the old guys in the gallery nodded in agreement. Taer had been staring at the back and quickly followed suit, nodding and showing an approving expression. ¡°From my understanding, the reason why they can cast spells so quickly is because they use spell array-type magic. Each array and symbol becomes a constructed symbol.¡± ¡°These constructed symbols are like blueprints that have long been stored in their minds.¡± ¡°If all of you have these arrays and symbols in your minds, Instantaneous Magic will no longer be a dream!¡± ¡°That¡¯s my answer!¡± Boom! Dean Jaeger was the first to stand up and applaud, followed by the high-ranking members of the academy, the judging instructors, and all the students. The applause lasted for a long time!

Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°This damned commoner, how does he know so much?!¡± Clive reluctantly clapped his hands, feeling angry and frustrated, a sense of helplessness leaving him mentally exhausted. ¡°Zhang Xing, your answer was perfect. One credit point for you! Other students, don¡¯t be discouraged. We¡¯ve only just begun, and there are plenty of opportunities ahead!¡± Sorina smoothed her beautiful yellow hair, her sapphire eyes fixed on Zhang Xing, growing fonder of this little guy. After the applause died down, the test continued. ¡°Now, let¡¯s move on to the fifth question. Please state the number of important foundational theories in magic studies and explain their contents. Begin!¡± Ding! ¡°Student Zhang Xing, please answer!¡± ¡°There are two theories: the Wences doctrine and the Gaulde theorem.¡± ¡°The Wences doctrine, proposed by the renowned magician of the Gadia Dynasty, Wences, states that everything in the world contains a medium of induction.¡± ¡°In the post-magic era, a famous theoretical mage emerged in the year 573.¡± ¡°He proposed that spells must contain ¡®energy¡¯ and ¡®state¡¯ as mediums of induction during the casting process.¡± ¡°He also created fundamental construction symbol formula and the Gaulde constant in his theory.¡± ¡°By using these formulas, one can calculate the magical power or construction symbols required for a spell.¡± ¡°This theory is known as the Gaulde theorem by future generations.¡± ¡°Answer complete!¡± Whoosh! The audience applauded enthusiastically, cheering for Zhang Xing¡¯s fluent and fast answer! ¡°Now, for the sixth question, please state the universal grading standards for mages set by the Six Towers Association. Begin!¡± Ding! ¡°Apprentices must be able to cast at least one novice-level spell.¡± ¡°A beginner mage can at least¡­¡± ¡°Intermediate mages¡­¡± ¡°Ah! It¡¯s infuriating! Zhang Xing got it again. Next time, I¡¯ll definitely be faster than him!¡± Clive was almost going mad with anger. However, Zhang Xing did not give him any chance. He took all 50 questions. Clive tried to find fault, but he could not. How could he, without such extensive knowledge? Next was the lunch break, followed by the team test in the afternoon. In the spacious cafeteria, Zhang Xing sat at a table, his head just peeking above the surface. Around him were teammates who were considerably taller. This table, with ten people, clearly revolved around Zhang Xing. It was especially eye-catching in the entire cafeteria. They all had excited expressions on their faces as they ate and talked loudly about the exciting scene during the game. ¡°Zhang Xing, I really admire you, especially the second question. Those instructors were all confused, haha!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see the expressions of the students from the other groups? They were all dumbfounded.¡± ¡°And later, they looked even more dumbfounded, as it was all Zhang Xing¡¯s one-man show.¡± ¡°Zhang Xing, we¡¯re counting on you for the afternoon¡¯s team exam.¡± ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re not as knowledgeable as you are, and our knowledge is limited.¡± ¡°First place in the team will reward each of us with ten credits, which we can use to learn basic magic from the practical instructors. How exciting!¡± Zhang Xing nodded in agreement, not engaging in much conversation with them. From their expressions, it was evident that these aristocratic teammates did not genuinely want to associate with him. ter all, whether in the school or the entire Empire, emphasis was placed not only on theory but also on practice, or rather, practical combat. The six major magic academies trained elites, and these students would serve in the Imperial Army upon graduation. After three years of military service, the children of the nobles could get an official position and obtain some noble titles. As for the children from poor backgrounds, they mostly went to various battlefields or joined forces to carry out more dangerous missions.

Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Zhang Xing, who was bowing his head to eat, suddenly noticed that the classmates around him had stopped talking. He raised his head and saw that all nine people had their heads buried in their food bowls, vigorously shoveling rice into their mouths. What¡¯s going on? Looking at the other students at different tables, each of them had a strange expression on their faces, as if they were somewhat gleeful. Several classmates dressed in coarse clothes kept glancing at him and gesturing with their eyes. When he turned his head, a group of young people in gray robes, around 18 or 19 years old, were walking towards him. The person at the front was handsome and confident. He had a square face and a smile on his face, but his eyes were dark. This group of people soon arrived in front of Zhang Xing. He could hear the female students around him exclaiming softly,¡±Ah! This is Linde Glann from the advanced magic class, my idol, so handsome!¡± ¡°Oh my goodness, my heart is uncontrollably pounding. I can¡¯t take it anymore, I¡¯m going to faint!¡± ¡°Look, he¡¯s coming towards me!¡± ¡°You¡¯re infatuated. He¡¯s going towards that little classmate.¡± ¡°Which little classmate? Where?¡± ¡°The smallest one among those ten newcomers. See?¡± ¡°I see, I see. That classmate is so small. Is he also from the Linde family?¡± ¡°Bullsh*t! Look at his clothes, he¡¯s poor. Glann is looking for trouble with him.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡± The girls whispered to each other, while the boys focused on eating and did not even dare to look in that direction. ¡°Little Student Zhang Xing, are you eating?¡± Glann looked down at Zhang Xing and smiled. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten yet?¡± Zhang Xing nodded and replied. Glann¡¯s fexpression stiffened. The expected trembling from the other party did not happen, and his response was unexpected. He could not even use the prepared set of words. And after Zhang Xing finished speaking, he turned back to continue eating, leaving Glann staring at the back of his head. The scene became somewhat awkward. ¡°Go to the side and eat!¡± Glan glared, and the nine students at the table hurriedly stood up and ran away in the blink of an eye. ¡°Everyone, go eat somewhere else!¡± Glann¡¯s glare made all nine classmates at the table hastily stand up and run away in the blink of an eye. Glann pulled a chair and sat in front of Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing glanced at it, smiled, and continued eating. He leaned sideways, rested his right arm on the table, half-fisted his cheek, and just watched Zhang Xing eat. Zhang Xing glanced at him, smiled slightly, and continued eating. The dining hall was unusually quiet at this moment, with only the sound of the two of them eating. It felt as if someone had cast a Time-Stop magic spell ¡ª those who were bowing their heads did not move, those eating stopped chewing, those stealing glances were frozen, and the little girls widened their eyes, holding their breath. This strange scene did not last long, because Grand could not hold it in anymore. With a loud cry, all eyes turned to their table. At the same time as the exclamation, Glannstood up straight, raised his right hand to its limit, and delivered a fierce slap to Zhang Xing¡¯s face while he was still putting food in his mouth. ¡°You little brat, pretending to be tough with me!¡± A 18 or 19 year old youth using such force to slap a 6 year old child, one could imagine the consequences. Many girls could not bear to look and closed their eyes, while some boys turned their faces away. All the students could imagine that after this slap, the little classmate would be sent flying at least three meters away, with blood streaming from his nose and his face swelling like a pig¡¯s head. Pa! A loud and crisp slap spread throughout the entire restaurant. Immediately after, everyone heard a clang! What puzzled everyone was why that little classmate was still sitting there eating. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be slapped away? Even more strangely, Glann had disappeared! Following the sound of the clanging, the group of 18 or 19-year-old youths slowly turned their heads to look. All the surrounding students also followed their gaze. An astonishing scene unfolded before their eyes!

Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A dozen advanced class students ran towards the trash cans at the entrance of the cafeteria, shouting, ¡°Young Master Glann!¡± When they pulled Glann out of the one-meter-high trash can, all the students were shocked. Glann, unconscious and covered in leftovers and food scraps, had a sour-smelling soup dripping down his face. ¡°Quick, go find Instructor Tina for treatment!¡± The group of students didn¡¯t bother to settle the score with Zhang Xing and hurriedly carried Glann away. Swoosh! All the students turned to Zhang Xing again. Their eyes were filled with deep astonishment! They could not figure out how he did it, it must have been him who sent Glann flying. It was unimaginable how a small child like him could achieve such a feat¡­ After all, Glann was ranked tenth in the Magic Academy¡¯s Power Rankings. In terms of agility, speed, strength, and combat experience, a child should not be able to send him flying nearly 20 meters away. Moreover, that child was from the Magic Academy, not the Martial Arts Academy. They witnessed the impossible becoming possible, unable to believe it yet faced with the reality. ¡°Who is this little classmate?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, never seen him!¡± ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure either!¡± ¡°Go ask the new students in the beginner class, they might know.¡± After inquiring, the intermediate and advanced class students learned the name of the little classmate ¡ª Zhang Xing! They watched as Zhang Xing finished the food in his tray. He stood up slowly as usual, walked to the dishwashing sink, and carefully washed the tray. Then he placed it in his designated cabinet and left. Throughout the whole process, it was as if the previous incident had nothing to do with him. The other children in the cafeteria, who had not finished their meals, also imitated Zhang Xing¡¯s actions: eating slowly, standing up slowly, and carefully washing their trays¡­ Tina was not only the academy¡¯s alchemist but also a pharmacist. At 22 years old, she had a perfect and graceful figure, with shoulder-length dark red hair and delicate facial features, forming a beautiful picture. Known as one of the academy¡¯s most beautiful instructors alongside Sorina, they had volunteered to provide medical care in the impoverished areas numerous times. Not only that, but she also brought a large amount of daily necessities to help the impoverished, including the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. Similarly, she was also merciful to ordinary nobles who had fallen! Not only did she have a high reputation in the academy, but hse also won the hearts of the people in the entire Saint Laurent Castle. When Glann was brought in, Tina did not mind the special smell. ¡°What happened? How did it turn out like this?¡± ¡°A magic student from an advanced class, how can he be so careless?!¡± ¡°Oh! Looks like he got into a fight, the palm print on his face is quite clear. Such a small palm, was it a girl who hit him?¡± The dozen male students remained silent and dared not speak up. Tina did not actually want to know why these hormone-filled males were fighting all the time. As she cleaned up the trash, she examined the locations where the injuries occurred. Soon, the results of the examination came out. ¡°Glann¡¯s main injuries were caused by impact.¡± ¡°He must have been slapped and sent flying, then fell a considerable distance. Judging from the fractured ribs and spine, it¡¯s at least 20 meters.¡± ¡°His head first collided with the wall, causing him to lose consciousness.¡± ¡°Then his body fell sideways, hitting a sharp object.¡± ¡°The fractured ribs and spine can be treated with medicine and rest, but the key is his head. I can¡¯t guarantee a perfect recovery. After all, magic relies on mental power for control.¡± ¡°You go and inform his family, I¡¯ll stabilize his condition first.¡± After the students left, Tina sighed, ¡°That slap was too harsh. Glann might not be able to use magic in the future¡­¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 40 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the afternoon exam, under the leadership of Zhang Xing, there was no suspense as they secured the first place. Zhang Xing ranked first in individual points and received an additional fifty points as a reward. In total, he earned one hundred credits, causing envy among many classmates. Immediately after the test, Zhang Xing was called by Instructor Sorina. ¡°Zhang Xing, did you injure Clive¡¯s brother Glann?¡± ¡°No!¡± Zhang Xing feigned confusion, his eyes showing a puzzled expression. ¡°Don¡¯t deny it. Many students in the cafeteria saw it, and the Linde family has reported the incident to the Dean.¡± Sorina furrowed her brow, appearing somewhat anxious. ¡°Who saw me personally attacking him? Which hand did I use? Did I use magic or some other method?¡± ¡°I¡¯m too small to be able to harm him!¡± Even though everyone knew the truth, he could not admit it. If he were to confess, he would probably not be able to continue studying at the academy. He reckoned that the Linde family would not dare to dig too deep. The reputation of the Six Towers Association was not just for show, and they would not tolerate a small family causing trouble. If the academy refused to investigate and instead put all the blame on him, then he would have to stay here. ¡°Ah! You, child, your attack was too severe. Fortunately, Tina treated Glann in time, and he will be fine after a few months of rest.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way, the Dean personally treated Glann¡¯s head injury, and he regained consciousness immediately. Otherwise, the Linde family wouldn¡¯t have stopped there.¡± ¡°You should focus on your studies and not cause any more trouble!¡± Hearing this, Zhang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. In his mind, an image of an old man with silver hair, a white beard, and wearing a plain gray robe, with no insignia of a mage on the cuffs, emerged. He had not mistaken the Dean. Just based on the impassioned words the Dean spoke in his defense earlier, Zhang Xing knew that the Dean was a person of justice who despised evil. Thinking about this, a surge of enthusiasm welled up in Zhang Xing¡¯s heart. ¡°Thank you, Your Excellency Dean! Thank you, Instructor Sorina!¡± he said, bowing respectfully to Sorina. ¡°Alright, if you¡¯re thankful, go and express your gratitude to the Dean in person. He asked me to bring you to him.¡± Sorina held Zhang Xing¡¯s small hand and walked towards the Dean¡¯s office. Along the way, Sorina seemed very happy, occasionally asking Zhang Xing about his past. Zhang Xing did not say much, only sharing a few days of his life in Kimura Village and the passing of his grandfather. Upon learning that Zhang Xing was now an orphan, Sorina¡¯s heart filled with infinite sympathy. She wanted to bring Zhang Xing home and take care of him, but Zhang Xing could not agree to it. After all, her home was the Dean¡¯s home, and living there would be uncomfortable. Besides, he had so many secrets. He could not let Black Treasure go out hunting every few days, even though he really wanted to. Once Sorina brought Zhang Xing to the entrance of the Dean¡¯s office, she left. Zhang Xing gently knocked on the door twice, and the dean¡¯s loud and dignified voice came from inside. ¡°Come in!¡± Seeing the well-behaved Zhang Xing, Dean Jaeger was as excited as a big husky encountering a little husky. At a glance, Zhang Xing could tell that the Dean had a playful personality. ¡°Hello, Your Excellency Dean!¡± ¡°Thank you for upholding justice for me!¡± Upon hearing these words, Jaeger burst into laughter. ¡°Hahaha, from the way you put it, if I didn¡¯t speak up for you, would that make me the evil side?¡± ¡°Not necessarily. The opposite of justice isn¡¯t necessarily evil; there¡¯s also neutrality!¡± As Zhang Xing spoke, he gestured with his little hand, appearing quite amusing. ¡°Oh! Quite the debater, I see. You have a way with words. No wonder you managed to snatch away all those 50 credits for yourself.¡± ¡°Please have a seat. Do you know why I called you here?¡± The Dean pointed to a purple chair carved with Laurent Flowews on the opposite side, smiling warmly.
