《Dragon-blooded Wizard》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation With a gentle breeze, Noah Adams slowly opened his eyes. What followed was a wet feeling on his face. When Noah completely opened his eyes, a purple flower the size of a human face appeared in front of him. The purple flower actually had a human face, accompanied by a pair of sharp fangs! Some unknown liquid was oozing out of the purple flower¡¯s mouth and dripping onto Noah¡¯s face. It looked like its saliva. ¡°What the hell is this?¡± Before Noah could figure out the situation, the purple flower had already reached out its fangs and bit Noah. Fortunately, Noah reacted quickly. Before the purple flower could bite him, he rolled to the side. Noah, who had yet to recover from his shock, looked at the purple flower. His heart was filled with lingering fear. Just a little more and his entire face would have been gone! ¡°A man-eating flower?¡± Noah had never seen this kind of flower before. The man-eating flower in his mind was somewhat similar to it, but he had never heard of a man-eating flower with a human face! However, compared to this strange purple flower, Noah suddenly discovered something even more shocking. ¡°I¡¯m still alive?¡± Noah touched his body and then touched his hands and feet. He was in disbelief. Did he not get hit by a large truck? Based on the situation, even if he lost a few body parts, he would not be able to survive! However, his body was still as good as before. He did not lose his limbs, but the surrounding environment made him a little confused. He found himself in a primitive forest, surrounded by strange plants. In addition to the purple flower with fangs, there were also unknown flowers wrapped in flames and jellyfish-like creatures wandering in the air. Even the weeds on the ground were emitting a faint blue fluorescent light. Noah suspected that he was dreaming, but the unknown liquid on his face made him understand that this was not a dream! ¡°Where am I?¡± Noah was dumbfounded. Everything around him made him feel like he was on an alien planet. It was impossible for these strange creatures to appear on earth! ¡°Did the aliens kidnap me?¡± Noah, who had watched a lot of sci-fi movies, could not help but guess. Then, Noah stood up and wanted to walk around. He wanted to figure out where he was. After the danger just now, Noah deliberately stayed away from the purple flowers. After walking for a few hundred meters, Noah came to a fruit forest. The trees were full of red fruits like apples. Seeing so many bright red fruits, Noah could not help but swallow his saliva. Just nice, He was actually a little hungry. These fruit trees were not tall, and he could reach them by tiptoeing. Therefore, Noah walked to one of the fruit trees and stood on his tiptoes to pick an apple. However, the moment his hand touched the fruit, a deafening scream rang out, causing Noah to tremble and fall to the ground. Then, like a chain reaction, the entire fruit forest was filled with screams. Noah looked in the direction of the sound in horror. What he did not expect was that these sounds were actually coming from these red fruits. When he looked carefully, he discovered that these fruits actually had the faces of babies. Each fruit was like a baby¡¯s head hanging on the tree branches. It was extremely terrifying! They seemed to be frightened, and the expression on their faces was even more frightened than Noah¡¯s! ¡°What is this?¡± Noah looked at the screeching fruits with a trembling heart. His hair stood on end and his legs trembled uncontrollably. At that moment, he no longer had the mood to pluck the fruits to satisfy his hunger. He was afraid that he would not be able to eat the fruits, but instead be eaten by them! Noah left the fruit forest as if she was escaping. Noah did not know how long he had been running, but he finally stopped when he could not hear the shrieks of the fruits. He then stopped and panted heavily. ¡°What is this¡­ What the hell is this place? I want to go home!¡± These strange plants really scared Noah. At this moment, he just wanted to leave this damn place! At this moment, Noah saw a small hill not far away. He thought once he climbed up the hill, he should know where he was. It was not easy, but when Noah got close, he realized that this was not a small hill, but an extremely huge flower bud. The stem of this huge flower was extremely thick, with a diameter that required at least 20 people to wrap their arms around it. The bright red petals were like a curtain that covered the sky and the sun as they drooped down. The flower bud that Noah had thought was a small hill was even larger, but now it looked more like a tower piercing through the clouds! Noah was so shocked that he could not speak. Although he did not know where he was now, he was definitely not on earth! If there were such magical plants on earth, they would have been widely publicized. ¡°Could I really have been kidnapped by aliens?¡± It seemed that this was the only possibility to explain these strange plants. However, he could not care about this anymore. He had to leave this jungle as soon as possible. Everything around him was too strange. If he was not careful, he might lose his little life. It was not easy for him to survive, and he did not want to die in this place that no one cared about. After leaving the giant flower, Noah continued to walk deeper into the bushes. According to his thoughts, he would walk forward and eventually walk out, but he hoped that he could walk out before he starved to death. After passing through thousands of giant trees, the towering trees around him gradually decreased. Finally, Noah saw a building! After passing through the jungle, a garden appeared in front of Noah. Beneath his feet was a path paved with gravel, and at the end of the path, there was a place that looked like an altar. Eight huge stone pillars stood there, and each stone pillar seemed to be engraved with extremely complicated inscriptions. Some were like incantations, some were like birds and beasts, and some were human figures. Furthermore, there was a chain on each stone pillar, and at the end of the chain was a woman! ¡°A woman?¡± Noah rubbed his eyes and looked again in disbelief. He was sure that he was not mistaken. It was indeed a woman in a white dress, firmly locked in the center of the altar by eight chains! Noah should be happy to see humans again, but this strange scene made him even more nervous. However, this was the only human he had met in a long time. If he wanted to figure out his situation, he could only go up and ask. He should be fine if he just walked a little closer, right? With that thought in mind, Noah carefully and slowly approached the woman. As he gradually got closer, he also slowly saw the woman¡¯s appearance¡­ Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was a face that was so beautiful that it seemed unreal. Her skin was as delicate as snow, her lips were small and full, her nose was high and straight, and under her pretty eyebrows was a pair closed eye. Her delicate facial features were like the masterpiece of the creator, sacred and inviolable! The woman¡¯s figure seemed to have been carved by God, and every inch was just right. Noah had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her body seemed to be exuding endless light, but Noah felt an inexplicable pressure from the woman. ¡°Hello, may I know where are we?¡± Noah asked tentatively. However, the woman remained in her original position, as if she was really a statue. ¡°Hello?¡± Noah greeted again, but he still did not get any response from the woman. Noah started to panic. This woman could not be dead, right? Who would use so many chains to lock up a dead person? Out of curiosity, Noah could not help but get closer, but the woman still did not react. Noah was at a loss for a moment. He wanted to figure out what the situation was, but he did not dare to get too close. In a dilemma, Noah was stunned in place. Noah hesitated again and again. He gritted his teeth and walked in front of the woman. Seeing that the woman still did not respond, Noah first heaved a sigh of relief, but then he realized that the woman was not breathing! Was she really dead? Noah did not know where his courage came from, but he subconsciously reached out his right hand to touch the woman¡¯s face. He used his finger to poke at it. It felt very soft and did not feel like a dead person¡¯s body at all. Just as he was feeling extremely puzzled, the woman suddenly opened her eyes! Noah screamed in fear and kept retreating while screaming. Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life. The woman slowly opened her eyes, and they emitted a rainbow-like radiance. As she opened her eyes, the chains seemed to come to life as runes appeared on them. Then, the woman let out a painful groan. After a while, the change finally subsided, and the woman looked at Noah in surprise. Then, the woman opened her mouth, but Noya could not understand what she was saying. It did not sound like any language, but more like a few syllables. Seeing Noah¡¯s blank face, the woman seemed to understand that Noah could not understand what she was saying. Then, the woman¡¯s eyes flashed with a rainbow-like radiance again. Noah felt his brain tremble before he heard the woman¡¯s voice again. ¡°Human, why are you here?¡± The woman asked in a condescending tone. Noah had not yet recovered from the shock. He clearly felt that the woman in front of him was no longer breathing, so how did she suddenly come back to life? Also, the syllables that came out of the woman¡¯s mouth were still incomprehensible, so how did it suddenly become a language that he could understand? ¡°Answer me, human! Why are you here?¡± Seeing that Noah did not say a word, the woman¡¯s face turned dark. Noah finally came back to his senses and no longer wondered what was going on. If there was a living person, wouldn¡¯t he be able to ask where he was? Hence, Noah cautiously moved closer to the woman and asked politely, ¡°Excuse me, what is this place?¡± Seeing that Noah did not answer her question but asked her instead, the woman¡¯s face darkened even more. ¡°Human! I¡¯m the one asking you the questions now!¡± The woman immediately exuded a powerful aura, and her pair of cold, colorful eyes made Noah not dare to look at her directly! ¡°This woman seems to have a bad temper.¡± Noah shuddered, especially when he saw the chains wrapped around the woman. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know, I was going to ask you!¡± Noah replied. He also wanted to know why he was here and what the hell was this place? The woman looked straight at Noah, and a colorful light flashed in her eyes. Through the eye of truth, the woman found that Noah was not lying, and she found that Noah did not have a trace of magic power in his body. How did an ordinary person could actually come to this forbidden land! After thinking for a while, the woman ordered in an unquestionable tone, ¡°Human, come closer!¡± Hearing this, Noah¡¯s expression became nervous, and he did not dare to move. Although this woman was very beautiful and looked harmless, there was something strange about her. It was not just the chains on her body, but also the words she said. She always called him a human. Who would call a man by his race? There was only one possibility. The woman in front of him was not human. He did not dare to get any closer. Who knew if the woman would suddenly become a monster with a bloody mouth when he got closer? The woman was a little angry when she saw that Noah did not move. ¡°Come closer to me!¡± The next moment, as the woman said this, Noah¡¯s body seemed to disobey her. Her legs started moving on their own and she slowly walked towards the woman. ¡°F*ck, what¡¯s going on? Why is my body moving by its own?¡± Noah was terrified. He felt like a puppet. Although his consciousness still belonged to him, he no longer had control over his body. Noah tried to struggle, but no matter how much he controlled his body, he couldn¡¯t move a single part of it. Even breathing, the most basic life activity, was not under his control. Noah was afraid, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. There was only fear now, and this subconscious emotion still belonged to him! After a while, Noah walked to the woman again. Noah closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate. His body was no longer in his control, so was his life still in his control? At this moment, he was sure that the woman in front of him was not human. She must have used some kind of demonic technique to control his body. ¡°We¡¯re finished! It wasn¡¯t easy for me to come back to life. Am I going to die again?¡± Noah could not help but wail in his heart. At this moment, Noah suddenly felt a chill in his body. He looked down and realized that his clothes had been stripped clean. His lower body was completely naked in the wind. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Noah was really panicking. This woman not only wanted his life, but also his body. Was she going to rape him before killing him? ¡°You pervert!¡± However, the situation he had imagined did not happen. The woman still had her beautiful human appearance. However, the woman¡¯s beautiful eyes sized him up. When she saw a certain part, her expression also changed slightly. Although the woman¡¯s expression changed very quickly, Noah still caught it. After a moment, the woman suddenly panted heavily, and her face was still a little flushed. Noah could even feel a delicate fragrance gently brush past the tip of his nose. Looking at the woman¡¯s beautiful face, Noah could not help but swallow, and a certain part of his body also had a reaction. ¡°You better control him! That is, if you don¡¯t want to lose him!¡± The woman warned. Hearing this, Noah forcefully suppressed his brother. He did not doubt that this woman would really do that. However, he really did not want to lose his brother! Noah was still trying to twist his body to see if he could regain control of his body, but it was all in vain. However, his actions made the woman¡¯s expression turn even colder! The woman looked at Noah with a resentful expression. In this magic-forbidding land, she didn¡¯t have much magic power left, and in order to investigate Noah¡¯s body, she had used up another portion of her magic power. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± The woman ordered coldly again. Then, the woman pressed her forehead against Noelle¡¯s. In an instant, Noah felt as if there were turbulent waves in his mind. The memories in her mind played uncontrollably in front of her like a movie¡­ Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a long while, the woman retracted her forehead. The woman¡¯s face was filled with confusion. She wanted to find out Noah¡¯s identity and how he came here by searching his memory, but her successful memory search had failed. She could only see Noah¡¯s memory of him coming here. The memories before that were like a mess. No matter how hard she searched, she could not find anything! There were only two possibilities for this situation. One was that the other party¡¯s strength was far higher than hers. However, how was that possible? the human in front of her didn¡¯t even have magic power. The other possibility was that the human in front of him did not belong to this world! At this moment, Noah, who had his memories searched, felt as if his brain had been pierced by a needle. He rolled on the ground in pain. ¡°You b*tch, why torture me? Why don¡¯t you just kill me?¡± Noah roared. He could not figure out what had just happened. In his mind, the woman wanted to torture him. Many perverts would torture the other party for fun before killing. Obviously, the woman was such a pervert in Noah¡¯s eyes! The woman looked at Noah, who was rolling on the ground, and was speechless. This human was too weak! She had tried her best to control herself. Even if she had searched an ordinary person¡¯s memory, they would not have acted as exaggerated as Noah. Also, how dare him? ¡°Human, how dare you insult the great Amelia Arveis? Do you want to die?¡± It turned out that the woman¡¯s name was Amelia Arveis, but Noah had no time to care about the woman¡¯s name at this time. The pain in his mind made him unable to think. ¡°Kill me if you have the guts! You b*tch!¡± Noah continued to clamor, completely ignoring the woman¡¯s threat. He was going to die anyway, so why would he be afraid of her threat? Amelia frowned. If it was in the past, Noah would have died 100000 times, but he was very important to her now. No matter how angry she was, she would not kill him. Therefore, a light flashed in Emilia¡¯s eyes, and a ray of light fell. Noah, who had just been rolling on the ground in pain, suddenly could not feel a trace of pain. Noah was extremely shocked. How did this happen? The woman did not even move, but a light flashed in her eyes, and his pain disappeared completely. Only the magic in the myths could be so magical, right? Noah stood up shakily and shook his swollen head. He cautiously took two steps back and looked at Amelia with eyes full of respect. This woman was too strange! Noah felt that in front of this woman, even if he wanted to die, he did not have the final say. Seeing that Noah had finally calmed down, Amelia slowly said, ¡°Human, although I don¡¯t know where you came from, you should want to leave this place, right?¡± Noah¡¯s eyes widened and he asked in surprise, ¡°You have a way to get me out of here?¡± Noah was overjoyed. He did not want to stay in this damn place for a second longer! ¡°That¡¯s right! Not only can I send you out of here, but I can also give you an extremely precious gift!¡± Amelia¡¯s voice was extremely alluring. Noah became cautious again after hearing Amelia¡¯s words. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so there must be something that Amelia wanted from him. He did not care about the gifts, as long as he could leave this place. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Noah asked cautiously. ¡°It¡¯s simple. Help me pass a message to my family.¡± said Amelia with a smile. Noah thought it would be some difficult condition, but it turned out to be a letter. ¡°It¡¯s that simple?¡± Noah could not believe that it was such a simple condition when he thought of the torture that Amelia had just given him. ¡°Simple? This matter isn¡¯t as simple as you think, but as long as you agree, I can send you out of here.¡± Amelia laughed coldly. Noah also realized that things were not simple, but it was better than staying in this damn place! ¡°Can you really send me out of here?¡± Noah asked again. Amelia did not say anything, but the confident expression on her face answered the question. ¡°Alright, I promise you, as long as you can send me away.¡± Noah promised. A smile finally appeared on Amelia¡¯s cold face. ¡°You¡¯ve made a wise choice. If you had refused, you would have been a dead man! Noah¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard Amelia¡¯s words. This woman was a pervert. She was a demon! At the next moment, as the seven-colored light in Amelia¡¯s eyes flashed again, runes that Noah could not understand appeared in the air. ¡°Sign this contract, and not only will I send you away, but I¡¯ll also give you an extremely precious gift!¡± Looking at the magical scene in front of him, Noah¡¯s pupils contracted, and his teeth trembled. This must be magic! ¡°What¡­ How do I sign it?¡± Noah said, trembling. ¡°Follow me.¡± Then, under the lead of Amelia, Noah read out the contents of the contract. ¡°I, Noah, under the witness of the gods¡­ I swear to fulfill the terms of the contract. If I go against it, my soul will be destroyed!¡± ¡°The contract is complete!¡± The next moment, before Noah could react, the runes in the void drilled into his head like tadpoles. ¡°How did he get into my head?¡± Noah asked in horror. ¡°The contract has been completed. If you go against the contents of the contract, you will completely disappear from this world, both physically and spiritually!¡± Amelia ignored Noah and continued. Noah could not help but swallow his saliva. He thought it was an ordinary oath, but it did not seem like it. He could clearly feel that there seemed to be some restraints in his mind. Once he broke the contract, he would really die! Noah felt a little irritated, but he was more afraid. His life and death were no longer in his control. However, the only thing worth being clear-headed about was that he could finally leave this damn place! ¡°Before I leave, I¡¯d like to ask you what kind of place this is¡­¡± Noah asked curiously. Everything he had seen and experienced since he woke up was too magical. All the signs indicated that he was no longer on earth. Amelia smiled but did not say anything. ¡°Since you¡¯ve signed the contract, I¡¯ll give you a precious gift as promised. After you accept this gift, I¡¯ll tell you everything¡­¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Noah watched as her body glowed with light. Then, all the light gathered between her brows and finally formed a water droplet with a seven-colored radiance. After doing all that, Amelia¡¯s face turned pale, and she felt weak. ¡°This is my reward for helping me,¡± Amelia said in an extremely weak voice, but at the same time, her tone was filled with reluctance. Immediately after, Amelia did not give Noah a chance to speak at all and directly sent the water droplet into Noah¡¯s body. ¡°Wait, what is this¡­ thing?¡± Before Noah¡¯s voice fell, the shimmering rainbow water droplet entered his body. In an instant, he felt as if his body was in turmoil. A rush of hot blood rushed to his head, and he fainted. When the water droplet entered Noah¡¯s body, the seven-colored light surrounding the water droplet slowly dispersed, revealing the true appearance of the water droplet. It was actually a drop of blood! This seemingly small drop of blood instantly split into countless veins after entering Noah¡¯s body. They flowed like countless streams into the blood vessels in Noah¡¯s body. When the split blood entered the blood vessels, the original blood in the vessels was like a mouse seeing a cat. It quickly turned into a blood mist and was expelled from Noah¡¯s body. The seven-colored radiance was like a catalyst, causing the new blood that entered his body to quickly fill his entire body again, and it also emitted a faint rainbow light. Under the nourishment of this fresh blood, every bone in Noah¡¯s body suddenly shone like a diamond, and the sound of his heart beating was extremely exaggerated, like thunder! Even Noah¡¯s appearance had changed slightly. Upon closer inspection, his skin was extremely smooth, and there was more elegance between his brows. Seeing that the upgrade was completed, Amelia was also quite satisfied. ¡°Human, I hope you won¡¯t disappoint me!¡± Then, a ray of light fell, and the unconscious Noah instantly disappeared from the forbidden land¡­ After an unknown amount of time, Noah woke up again. The sound of waves could be heard. Noah sat up and looked at the surroundings with a puzzled expression. ¡°Where is this place? Where¡¯s Amelia?¡± Noah found that there were no large and towering trees around him. Instead, he appeared on a beach. On his left was an ocean. It should be an ocean. Noah was a little uncertain because the color of the ocean was completely different from the blue on earth. It was actually light purple! There was also a forest on his right. Although the trees were much more normal than the ones in the magic-forbidding land, they were extremely distorted and looked magical compared to the trees on earth. Although they were far away, Noah could still hear the strange chirping from the forest. Most importantly, Amelia had disappeared! This meant that he had really gotten out of that damned place. Amelia did not lie to him! Also, before he fell unconscious, his body seemed to have been tampered with by Amelia. Noah checked his body and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He could run and jump, and he felt full of energy. However, the next moment, Noah suddenly realized that something was wrong. He only jumped lightly, but it was three meters high. When he jumped with all his might, he actually jumped five meters high! Noah felt that it was incredible and tried running again. It took him less than six seconds to cover a distance of almost 100 meters! It seemed that the human limit was more than nine seconds, and he had easily broken this limit! Even though he had learned from Amelia that magic might exist in this world, Noah was still shocked by the changes that had happened to his body. However, on second thought, could it be that he was in a different world and the gravity was different that allowed him to jump so high and run so fast? However, how could he explain the endless strength in his body? Therefore, Noah could not wait to experiment with the changes in his body before he even knew where he was. In less than ten minutes, Noah stopped when he felt a sense of hunger. ¡°Why am I so hungry?¡± Noah had never been this hungry before, and this sudden hunger almost made him faint. After his experiments, he found that his body had indeed undergone some unknown changes. Whether it was his speed, strength, or reaction ability, they had all become unusual. However, the energy consumption of his body seemed to have increased as well. ¡°Let¡¯s look for food!¡± Noah only had one thought in his mind. At this moment, a figure in the distance attracted Noah¡¯s attention. He saw an octopus-like creature on the beach not far away. However, compared to the octopuses on earth, the octopus in front of Noah was not only larger in size, but its body structure was also very strange. Its whole body was like a ball with many tentacles growing on it. ¡°Why would an octopus appear in shallow waters?¡± Just as Noah was puzzled, the octopus on the beach turned around. ¡°F*ck! What kind of creature is this?¡± Noah could not help but exclaim. The octopus turned around. Its round body had no other organs except for an outrageously large vertical eye. This huge vertical eye even flickered with a faint purple light. The octopus also discovered Noah. The next moment, the tentacles of the octopus that discovered Noah suddenly stood up. The octopus actually stood up. Immediately after, the octopus¡¯s voice came from somewhere, and a slightly sharp sound echoed through the entire beach. Then, one after another, the octopuses looked at Noah. Seeing this, Noah was so scared that he took a step back. ¡°Why do I feel like something¡¯s not right?¡± Although they only had eyes, Noah saw a human desire in the eyes of these octopuses. This was the expression of a person who had been hungry for a long time when they found delicious food. Noah¡¯s intuition was right. This group of octopuses had treated him as prey. An octopus waved its tentacles and rushed toward Noah, and then hundreds of octopuses rushed toward Noah. The scene was extremely strange, and in this strangeness, the octopus¡¯s actions were extremely funny. However, Noah had no time to laugh at the group of octopuses. If he did not leave, he would probably not starve to death but become food for the octopuses! After thinking about it, Noah quickly observed his surroundings. On his right was a vast ocean and on his left was a dense jungle. There was no need to think too much. He definitely could not go to the ocean, so he could only run into the jungle. In an instant, Noah ran into the forest, and the octopus behind him was in hot pursuit. As it chased, it made strange sounds, giving Noah goosebumps! After entering the jungle, Noah observed his surroundings more carefully. He now had an inexplicable fear of the jungle. He was afraid that a man-eating flower or a walking tree would jump out from somewhere. Fortunately, the jungle around him was a normal jungle. There was nothing unusual. Seeing an unusually tall tree, Noah ran over without hesitation. He turned back to look at the school of octopuses, who were still chasing him. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The f*ck! They shouldn¡¯t know how to climb trees, right?¡± Noah muttered. Noah ran to the tree and jumped directly onto the trunk above him. Then he climbed up the trunk. Soon, the octopuses caught up. Fortunately, Noah made the right bet. Although the tentacles of the octopus could allow them to walk on land, they could not climb trees. When a group of octopuses saw Noah climb up the tree, they anxiously circled under the tree, making more urgent sounds and looking a little exasperated. Noah also heaved a sigh of relief. He would just delay it for now. This group of ghostly things could not just keep him alone. However, he underestimated the patience of these octopuses. They could not climb up the tree, so they simply stayed under the tree. Just like Noah, this human could not possibly stay on the tree alone. Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a bird¡¯s cry suddenly came from the sky. Noah did not react, but the group of octopuses looked as if they had seen a ghost. They no longer dared to be in a stalemate with Noah and returned to the beach at a faster speed, wanting to return to the sea. Noah slowly climbed to the top of the tree, poked his head out, and then he saw a shocking scene¡­ A bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the clear sky. However, when Noah took a closer look, he found that it was not a real lightning, but a bird wrapped in golden lightning. It was a bird that Noah had never seen before. It looked extremely magical. It looked similar to the birds on Earth, but this bird was more majestic. Not to mention the strange lightning on its body, just its wings alone were nearly six to seven meters wide, and its body was nearly three meters long. In fact, it was a giant eagle! With a screech that resounded through the sky, the giant eagle swooped down toward the countless octopuses on the beach like a bomber plane. Unlike the hunting methods of all birds Noah had seen before, the lightning eagle did not use its sharp claws or beak to prey on these big-eyed monsters. Instead, when it was about to touch the ground, its wings would release electric arcs, which turned into a grid of electricity. In less than a minute, nearly a hundred octopuses were directly roasted by the electric arcs and left on the beach forever. In the end, less than twenty octopuses returned to the ocean. The eagle did not bother the octopus that had returned to the ocean too much. The octopus on the beach was enough for it to have a full meal. Soon, the giant eagle began to enjoy the delicious buffet. After being roasted by the electric arc, a faint fragrance even reached Noah. Seeing the giant eagle gobbling down the meat, Noah also wanted to rush out and enjoy the delicious roasted octopus meat. However, when he thought about how fierce the giant eagle was, Noah held back. He only hoped that the giant eagle would leave some behind. Finally, the giant eagle on the beach seemed to be satisfied with its meal. After combing its fur, it flew away. However, Noah did not go out immediately. He was afraid that once he went out, the giant eagle would suddenly return. He could still escape if he was chased by the octopus, but if he was targeted by those fierce birds, he would probably lose his life. After waiting for a long time and not seeing the giant eagle again, Noah got down from the tree and carefully came to the beach. More than half of the octopuses had been eaten by the giant eagle, leaving only a few that had not been touched. However, one or two of them were enough for Noah to eat. Moreover, after being roasted by the giant eagle¡¯s electric arc, the octopus¡¯s meat was cooked, saving Noah a lot of effort. Noah immediately tore off a tentacle and began to chew. ¡°Oh! Delicious!¡± Noah had never eaten such delicious meat before. Every bite was full of elasticity and a hint of sweetness. Noah, who was already famished, could not care less and began to gobble up. He thought that one or two of these big octopuses was Noah¡¯s limit, but Noah ate nearly ten before he felt full! ¡°When did my appetite become so big?¡± Just as Noah was eating happily, the octopus that had just survived reappeared on the beach. Seeing these octopuses, Noah was nervous. These octopuses would not vent their anger on him, right? Noah perked up and was ready to escape if something went wrong. However, to his surprise, the group of octopuses did not pay attention to him. Instead, they guarded the corpses of their own kind. To be honest, even Noah was moved by this scene. Just as he was about to exclaim how cruel nature was, the surviving octopuses actually reached out their tentacles and stabbed them into the dead octopuses¡¯ bodies. It looked like they were eating. ¡°They¡¯re eating their friends?¡± Noah felt an inexplicable sense of disgust. However, the school of octopuses no longer paid attention to him, which was something worth rejoicing over. After enjoying the bodies of their own people, the surviving octopuses returned to the ocean¡­ Unknowingly, the sky had darkened. Noah was extremely lucky to find a small cave under a stone wall near the forest. It was already so late, so he could only stay here for the night and find a way to leave tomorrow. Before night fell, Noah searched for many dead branches and wood in the forest. Fortunately, he did not watch the wilderness survival show for nothing. Before night fell, Noah started a fire. Looking at the rising flames in front of him, Noah¡¯s heart was more at ease. Soon, night fell and a ray of light suddenly flashed. Noah curiously came to the entrance of the cave and found that the strange forest was now covered in a thin layer of fog. In the fog, there were countless purple lights like fish, constantly shuttling through the forest. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Noah was very curious about what kind of creature it looked like. On the other side, the light of the galaxy shone on the sea. Noah turned around and saw the stars in the sky. The Milky Way could be seen with the naked eye, but it shouldn¡¯t be called the Milky Way. After all, this might not even be the Milky Way. Everything around Noah was extremely novel to him. He looked up at the stars until late at night. As time passed, the stars showed a different view. What fascinated Noah the most was that he could clearly see the outline of another planet through the stars! All of this was reminding him that he was in another world! Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, Noah opened his eyes as a ray of light scattered into the cave. Looking at the familiar sunlight, Noah thought he was still on earth, but after he opened his eyes, he realized that this was not the sun he saw on earth. Although it was also a fireball, the sun of this world seemed to emit more scorching light and was more difficult to look at. Not daring to waste any more time, Noah embarked on an unknown journey. After bidding farewell to the beach, Noah began to move towards the jungle. However, with his previous experience, he was extremely careful with every step, afraid that he would encounter some strange plants and lose his life. What made Noah curious was that after eating those octopuses yesterday, he inexplicably felt that he had become stronger. When he went to bed yesterday, he noticed that his originally loose muscles had become like a cheetah. Not only were they full of streamlined beauty, but every muscle was full of strength. However, there was also a problem. His appetite seemed to have increased. He could always feel a vague sense of hunger, as if there was a primitive impulse urging him to eat. Along the way, Noah began to pay attention to whether there was anything to eat. As he went deeper into the forest, he found some wild fruits, but they were all in strange shapes. Some looked like human heads, some looked like animals, and some were wrapped in a layer of strange fluorescent light, so Noah really did not dare to try. As they gradually went deeper, the surroundings gradually began to fog. Noah¡¯s vision also gradually blurred. Seeing that he could no longer see the road ahead, Noah no longer continued to move forward. He found a large tree and leaned against it, preparing to wait for the fog to dissipate before moving. Who knew that just as he leaned down, the big tree behind him began to shake violently. Noah thought it was an earthquake, but when he turned around, he saw a scene that was even more shocking than an earthquake. The big tree behind him seemed to come to life, and a wrinkled face could be seen on the tall trunk, like an old man. At this moment, the expression on the face was extremely frightened, as if something terrible was about to happen. Thus, Noah saw the big tree pull itself up by its roots, and then countless roots emerged from the ground. Like an octopus, it quickly disappeared from Noah¡¯s vision. Then, the second tree, the third tree¡­ More than ten strange trees had moved from their original positions. In addition to these trees, the surrounding strange-looking flowers and plants also seemed to be frightened and buried themselves in the soil. Looking at the sudden change in the surroundings, Noah was a little confused for a moment. Just as he was puzzled, a loud howl echoed in the forest, followed by a roar from another direction. Noah instantly understood what was going on. He panicked. Although he had not seen what beasts they were, even these plants were so scared that they ran away and hid. One could imagine how terrifying these two beasts were. Noah did not dare to stand there stupidly anymore. He followed the direction the trees had left in. Since the trees had chosen to run in one direction, it meant that that direction was safe. Finally, Noah saw the big trees that had moved again. They were taking root not far away. Although these big trees looked strange, Noah still chose to hide in the grass between them. Just as Noah hid, he saw an unknown creature appear where he had been. The unknown creature looked like the wolves on earth, its body black. However, it was exaggeratedly large. Noah roughly estimated that this wolf-like creature was more than three meters tall and nearly five meters long. It was simply a prehistoric giant beast! Not long after the giant wolf appeared, another giant beast appeared in front of it. The other giant beast looked like a bear, with brown fur all over its body. However, it had two horns on its head. It was also extremely huge, about five meters tall, like a giant! The two giant beasts exuded an aura that made people tremble as they stared at each other fiercely. Noah rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he had run fast. If he was still at the same place and was discovered by these two beasts, he probably would not even be enough to fill their stomachs. ¡°Are they going to fight?¡± Noah guessed as he looked at the aura of the two beasts. As if to confirm Noah¡¯s guess, the two giant beasts moved and slowly approached each other. The atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser, and a huge battle was about to break out. The next second, the giant wolf took the lead in attacking. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and it pounced in front of the giant bear with a swoosh. Its sharp fangs aimed at the giant bear¡¯s neck and bit down, wanting to kill it in one blow. The giant bear, however, was not flustered. The horn on the giant bear¡¯s head suddenly emitted a yellow light, and the next moment, an earth spike suddenly emerged from the ground, stabbing towards the giant wolf¡¯s abdomen. The giant wolf¡¯s reaction was extremely fast. The moment it sensed the danger, its body actually made an illogical movement in the air, instantly avoiding the attack of the earth spike and jumping to the side. ¡°That¡­¡± Noah was surprised to see the earth spike coming out of the ground. If he was not mistaken, the giant bear was using magic to attack his opponent. The giant bear looked at the giant wolf, who was dodging the spikes in a sorry state, and a human-like sneer hung on the corner of its mouth. After a slight adjustment, the giant wolf launched another attack. The giant wolf ran toward the giant bear at an extremely fast speed. In the process, the giant wolf actually split into three, and they pounced at the giant bear from three different positions. However, the giant bear was still calm. After a burst of yellow light, three diamond-shaped golden barriers appeared in front of the giant bear, and the giant wolf was bounced back by the barriers. After two consecutive failures, the giant wolf gradually calmed down. Instead of rushing to attack again, it circled around the giant bear as if it was thinking¡­ Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The battle between the two giant beast made Noah¡¯s heart surge with fear and excitement. He was afraid of being discovered by the two terrifying behemoths, but at the same time, he was full of curiosity about the magic used by the two behemoths. However, why would the two giant beasts fight for no reason? Just as Noah was feeling curious, the situation on the field changed again. This time, the giant bear actually took the lead in attacking. After a golden light flashed, a stone armor suddenly appeared on the giant bear¡¯s body, just like the armor of humans. After being fully armed, the giant bear ran toward the giant wolf, and the earth trembled with every step it took. Seeing the giant bear charging at him, the giant wolf¡¯s pupils constricted, and it dodged to the side at an extremely fast speed. Seeing the giant wolf ran away, the giant bear let out a victor¡¯s roar, as if showing off its power. However, the giant wolf was not in a hurry. It was more like a hunter looking for an opportunity. However, the giant bear¡¯s provocation also provoked its anger. In the next second, the giant wolf¡¯s black fur lit up with purple lines. Then, some energy seemed to gather in the giant wolf¡¯s mouth, and white smoke came out. Then, a purple-black fireball gathered in its mouth. With a whooshing sound, the fireball was shot toward the bear with an unparalleled power. However, the bear did not seem to care about the powerful fireball at all. When the fireball was close to it, an earth wall was raised from the ground. However, unlike what the bear had expected, the fireball was not blocked by the wall. Instead, it corroded through the wall and hit the bear¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Roar!¡± A blood-curdling screech came out of the bear¡¯s mouth, and countless birds in the forest were scared into flying everywhere. The giant bear¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt, as if he was asking how the fireball could break through his defense. However, when he looked at the giant wolf again, his eyes were full of shock. At this moment, on the wolf¡¯s head and four claws, there were purple-black flames. These flames seemed to have some kind of corrosive property, and the area around the wolf quickly corroded. Noah was dumbfounded when he saw the giant wolf suddenly caught fire. The giant wolf, which had been at a disadvantage just a moment ago, suddenly turned the situation around after emitting these flames. Moreover, the giant bear seemed to be afraid of these flames. Indeed, the moment it saw the flames, the giant bear no longer showed off its strength and looked nervous. The two horns on the bear¡¯s head glowed yellow again, and a thicker armor appeared on the bear¡¯s body. The bear was huge to begin with, and with this armor, it looked like a fortress. The giant wolf launched another attack. The giant Wolf stepped on the black flames, and its speed was more than twice as fast as before. Several sharp claws wrapped in flames slammed into the giant bear¡¯s armor, making muffled sounds. The seemingly sturdy armor did not seem to be indestructible under the burning of the wolf¡¯s flames. As the flames attacked, the bear¡¯s armor finally could not hold on and broke. Without the protection of the armor, the giant wolf¡¯s flames were even more unstoppable. Soon, the giant bear was in a sorry state, and not a single part of its fur was intact. However, after a long period of attack, the giant wolf seemed to have overexerted itself, and the flames seemed to have diminished. Noah looked at the two giant beasts that were in a stalemate for the time being and had a hunch that the two sides would fight to the death in the next second. Sure enough, the giant wolf launched another attack. The black fire that looked like it was about to die out burned again, and an even bigger fireball condensed in front of the giant wolf. The surrounding air seemed to be emitting white smoke because of the fire, making sizzling sounds. The giant bear was not to be outdone either. The two horns on its head glowed with a golden light, and another armor covered its body. At the same time, several meters tall earth spikes rose from the ground and extended toward the giant wolf. The giant wolf also shot out a fireball. The next moment, the two attacks came into contact. The sharp-looking earth spikes were like paper in front of the fireball, and they collapsed the moment they came into contact with it. The dozens of earth spikes only made the fireball slightly smaller and slower, but it did not affect the power of the fireball at all. After breaking through the earth spike, the fireball quickly flew to the front of the giant bear. Yellow ripples appeared, and a barrier appeared in front of the giant bear. In less than a second, the barrier shattered. A trace of fear flashed across the bear¡¯s face, as if it could not understand why the fireball of the giant wolf was so powerful. The next moment, the fireball broke through the layers of defense and hit its body-fitting armor. There was an explosion, and the surrounding smoke and dust rose in an instant. When the smoke and dust dispersed, the giant wolf returned to its original appearance. There was no black fire around its body, and the giant bear¡¯s entire body was charred black. It was unknown whether it was dead or alive, but it was lying in a deep pit. Looking at the deep pit created by the fireball, Noah could not help but secretly click his tongue. It was like launching a missile, and its power was even more exaggerated than a missile. ¡°Magic, huh?¡± Noah could not help but feel a little afraid, but he yearned for it even more. This was magic. A magic that could summon the wind and rain! The battle between the two giant beasts seemed to have ended with the giant wolf¡¯s victory. However, the strange thing was that the giant wolf was not in a hurry to approach the giant bear. It was very cautious around the deep pit, observing the giant bear. After observing for a long time, it seemed to be sure that it was really dead, and only then did the giant wolf dare to approach the giant bear. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a fierce battle, it was finally time to enjoy the fruits of the battle. The giant wolf could not wait to pounce on it, ready to have a full meal. Suddenly, the lifeless bear woke up and grabbed the wolf¡¯s neck, and its eyes were full of slyness. The wolf did not expect the bear to still be alive. It tried to break free from the bear¡¯s grasp, but after a long battle, its physical strength and magic had been exhausted. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free. Watching the struggling giant wolf in its hand, the giant bear revealed a winner¡¯s gesture once again. When it prepared to break the huge Wolf¡¯s neck, the huge Wolf revealed a fierce look. The next moment, Noah, who was not far away, heard another explosion. The power of the explosion was not inferior to the explosion caused by the giant wolf¡¯s fireball. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Noah did not understand. The battle already ended, right? Noah hid in the grass and did not dare to move. After about an hour, there was still no movement from the deep pit in front of him. Noah carefully poked his head out of the grass and walked toward the deep pit step by step. Noah¡¯s legs could not help but tremble. He was afraid that a giant wolf or bear would suddenly jump out of the deep pit. Either of these two giant beasts could take his little life. When he reached the edge of the pit, there was still no movement. Noah stretched his head out to look at the deep pit, and his face was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. The giant wolf had long disappeared, leaving only some broken pieces of the body. He could still vaguely tell that it was the giant wolf. The giant bear was not any better. Its head had been removed, and its body was also in tatters. The strong smell of blood rushed directly into Noah¡¯s head, followed by a burst of stomach spasms, and Noah could not help but vomit¡­ After vomiting for almost ten minutes, Noah finally recovered and sat on the ground weakly. He could not help but feel fear in his heart. As an Earthling, living in a society ruled by law, when had he ever seen such a tragic scene? The yearning he had for this world and magic just now had dissipated a lot. The most important thing was to be able to survive in this world! Noah no longer looked at the tragic scene in the deep pit and prepared to leave quickly. Such a strong smell of blood would definitely attract other wild beasts. Just as Noah was about to leave, two lights in the deep pit caught his attention. Noah looked over and saw that it seemed like two gemstones were glowing. Noah was a little conflicted. He wanted to go down and find out what was going on, but he was afraid that there would be danger again. However, after some hesitation, a strong curiosity drove Noah to jump into the deep pit. First, he looked at the location of the giant wolf¡¯s corpse. Noah resisted the disgust and pried open a broken claw. Under the claw was a purple-black crystal that was shining with a flirtatious light. Although Noah did not know what it was, he still put it into his pocket. Then, Noah walked to the bear¡¯s body. The bear¡¯s chest was shining with a yellow light. Noah pinched his nose with one hand and reached into the bear¡¯s chest with the other, pulling out a yellow crystal. ¡°What the hell is this?¡± The explosion was so powerful that the two giant beasts were blown to pieces, but only two stones were left there. Even though Noah was very curious, it was obvious that now was not the time to think about this. Noah jumped out of the five-meter-high pit and quickly left the place. Noah had just left when he heard rustling sounds in the forest. Countless figures ran in the direction of the deep pit. Noah¡¯s expression tightened. It was just as he had thought. Such a big movement and such a strong smell of blood would definitely attract other wild beasts. Thinking of this, Noah did not dare to stay nearby any longer. He ran in the other direction as fast as he could¡­ Noah did not know how long he had been running, but he slowly stopped when he saw an extremely hidden cave. ¡°I should be safe now.¡± Thus, Noah carefully walked into the vine-covered cave. After entering the cave, Noah finally could not hold on any longer and sat down after some observation. The cave was safe. Noah had never felt so tired before. Not only was he physically tired, but he was also mentally weak. With these two stacked together, Noah could not help but close his eyes and get ready to rest¡­ ¡°Buzz¡­¡± A buzzing sound woke Noah up from his sleep. When he woke up, Noah found that the sky outside the cave had already turned dark! ¡°How long have I been sleeping?¡± He had actually slept for so long in an unfamiliar environment without any defense! Noah felt a lingering fear, but fortunately, nothing unusual had happened during this time. Noah looked in the direction of the buzzing sound. The sound that woke him up actually came from inside the cave! ¡°There¡¯s something in the cave?¡± Noah could not help but be on guard. However, after observing for a long time, he could not see anything other than sound. There was only darkness. Noah could only pretend that he had heard wrong. Just as he relaxed, he felt a strong sense of hunger. His stomach could not help but growl. Looking at the dark forest outside the cave, Noah felt helpless. Although he was hungry, he could only endure it. The forest was already full of danger during the day, and now that it was night, it was even more impossible for him to go out to find food. As a result, Noah had to endure his hunger and wait until the day. In order to divert his attention, Noah took out the two crystals and was ready to study them to see what they were. In the dark night, a yellow and a purple demonic light lit up. It was very beautiful. However, for some reason, when he took out the two crystals again, a voice echoed in Noah¡¯s mind. The voice seemed to be urging Noah to eat the two crystals in a hurry! Noah also suddenly felt that these two crystals were like the most delicious food in the world, and he couldn¡¯t help but want to eat them. ¡°What am I thinking? Am I this hungry?¡± Noah quickly shook his head and expelled this thought. However, as soon as Noah saw these two crystals, he could not help but have this urge. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Noah was a little scared. He did not understand why he had such a strong desire for the two stones. The more he looked, the more tempted he was. Finally, Noah subconsciously put the crystal in his mouth, but he did not really eat it. The blood in Noah¡¯s body was agitated as his body turned red. The two crystals seemed to have sensed Noah¡¯s change and also emitted an even more dazzling light. The next moment, countless rays of light surged out of the two crystals and entered Noah¡¯s body. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± At this moment, Noah suddenly remembered that Amelia Arveis seemed to have done something to his body. This sudden change made Noah panic, but he could not do anything. He could only watch as the light entered his body¡­ Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation To Noah¡¯s surprise, as the light entered his body, his hunger disappeared in an instant. On the contrary, as more and more radiance entered his body, he gradually felt a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before! It was a kind of satisfaction that came from the soul! The two crystals were still glowing. Noah was already a little worried. Would such a big commotion attract some uninvited guests? As if in response to Noah¡¯s guess, there was a sudden movement at the entrance of the cave. Under Noah¡¯s frightened eyes, several wolf-like creatures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. They looked similar to the giant wolf, but they were much smaller. At first glance, they were about twice the size of the wolves on earth, but there were many of them. Noah roughly counted, and there were no less than twenty of them outside. ¡°I¡¯m done!¡± Seeing the fierce-looking wolves, Noah felt bitter. He wanted to run away, but he could not move at all. Even if he could move, the wolf pack had blocked the entrance. At this time, the wolves did not enter the cave directly. They seemed to be sniffing and looking for something. When they saw the purple-black crystal in Noah¡¯s hand, each wolf bared its fangs and let out a sad low roar! Noah¡¯s mind was extremely bright at this time, and he immediately understood what was going on. These wolves should be the giant wolf¡¯s pack. They had followed the movement of the crystal and actually found their way here. Noah was extremely regretful at this moment. Why did he have to take these two crystals? However, these two crystals had made him unable to move, and the door was blocked by a pack of wolves. He could not think of any chance of survival! Noah stared at the two crystals with a sad face, his heart full of complaints. ¡°Are you done yet?¡± The two crystals were like perpetual motion machines, constantly emitting light and constantly pouring into Noah¡¯s body, but as time passed, the light of the two crystals gradually weakened. However, Noah should have just rejoiced. It was because of the strange phenomenon caused by these two crystals that the wolves did not dare to rush into the cave immediately. The wolves looked at Noah, who was glowing, and were a little indecisive. Their king was dead, and their pack could not lose members for no reason! The wolves began to wait patiently because they realized that the light was getting weaker and weaker. As soon as the light disappeared, they would immediately pounce on the human and tear him to pieces! Finally, as the last few rays of light entered his body, the two crystals lost their luster. At the same time, some memories that did not belong to Noah suddenly appeared in his mind. Noah¡¯s face was filled with shock, and he even forgot that there were still wolves standing at the entrance of the cave, waiting for an opportunity. The wolves at the entrance of the cave saw that the light had finally dissipated and began to slowly walk towards Noah. At this time, Noah¡¯s eyes were dull, and his consciousness seemed to have left his body. He did not move at all because of the approaching wolves. The wolves were less than five meters away from Noah. At this distance, they could easily knock Noah down with a light jump! Noah was still sitting cross-legged on the ground. The wolf pack no longer held back. The three-headed wolf leader pounced on Noah. However, at the critical moment, Noah suddenly regained consciousness and raised his arm calmly. The next moment, a purplish-black fireball suddenly condensed in the air, and a scorching aura instantly rose in the cave. The three-headed wolf¡¯s pupils shrank, and its expression changed drastically. It struggled to dodge the fireball. However, at such a close distance, it was almost impossible to avoid. ¡°Boom!¡± An even stranger scene appeared. When the fireball approached the three-headed wolf, it split into three as if it was a clone, and each of them hit the three leading wolves. In an instant, the wolf only had time to let out a wail before they were instantly swallowed by the flames. This fireball was exactly the same as the giant wolf¡¯s, with corrosive properties. With a sizzling sound, the wolves gradually turned into a pile of ashes under the burning flames! The wolves behind him were horrified and could not help but retreat. Noah was also stunned. His actions just now were completely subconscious. After absorbing the light from the crystal, there were two more memories in his mind. They were the inherited memories of the giant wolf and the giant bear. They recorded the two spells and the scenes of the two giant beasts evolving. He seemed to have inherited the innate magic that the two giant beasts had awakened during their evolution through the crystals. Noah only had a thought, and the fireball condensed directly. The power it created made him extremely speechless. The wolf was turned into ashes in an instant! Noah could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He had yet to recover from the shock. ¡°Did I just cast a spell?¡± Noah muttered to himself. Noah¡¯s mood was extremely complicated. He was excited, shocked, and afraid¡­ There were more than one! However, the effect of this fireball was extremely good. The wolves at the entrance were all shocked and looked at Noah vigilantly. However, after releasing the fireball, Noah felt as if he had been sucked dry, and his head was a little dizzy. He tried to form another fireball, but it only formed a white smoke. Noah immediately became nervous, but he still pretended to be calm and stood up. Noah tried again and again to condense a fireball, but it seemed that he was missing some kind of catalyst. The repeated attempts only made him feel dizzier. Seeing this, Noah could not help but slowly retreat into the cave. After absorbing the energy of the crystal, Noah¡¯s senses seemed to have become more sensitive. He vaguely felt a chill behind him, as if there was a breeze blowing from behind. If there was wind, it meant that there was a cave behind them. Therefore, Noah retreated slowly without a trace. Fortunately, the wolves at the entrance did not dare to rush into the cave because of the shock just now, which gave Noah a chance. However, he also knew that this pack of wolves was different from those on earth. Each of them seemed to be full of wisdom. Once they realized that he could no longer release fireballs, they would definitely rush in and tear him to pieces. Thinking of this, Noah gradually increased the pace of his retreat. Sure enough, as Noah had guessed, although the wolves at the cave entrance were intimidated for a while, after a long time, some of them still had the courage to come in. When they saw that the human in the cave had disappeared, they immediately howled. Immediately after, the wolves outside the cave seemed to have received a signal and rushed into the cave. Noah, who had already retreated a distance, heard the sound and did not dare to delay any longer. He turned around and started running¡­ The howls behind him made Noah not dare to look back. He ran in the direction he felt the wind. As he ran, he suddenly felt as if he was stepping on air. Noah looked down. ¡°F*ck! Why is the hole on the ground?¡± A hole the size of a person appeared under Noah¡¯s feet. After Noah let out a cry of surprise, he fell into the hole. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation With a ¡°plop,¡± Noah fell into an underground river. Noah struggled to the surface and looked around in surprise. He fell into a small lake that glowed with blue light. There were countless fish-like creatures that glowed with silver light swimming in the lake. Above Noah¡¯s head were countless stone pillars that emitted green light, just like stalactites. There were also firefly-like creatures flying in the air as well. Noah quickly swam to the shore and looked around in surprise. ¡°Where am I again?¡± Noah only felt that he was extremely unlucky. Before he could figure out where he was, he had fallen into another strange place. Fortunately, he had escaped the pursuit of the wolf pack and saved his life. Noah slowly stood up and thought about how to leave this place. To his surprise, the underground space was unusually warm. He had clearly fallen into the lake, but he did not feel cold at all. He even felt like he was in an air-conditioned room, extremely comfortable. Looking at the lake in front of him, Noah had a rough idea. The lake was flowing, and the lake that was flashing with blue light seemed to be the end of the underground river. As long as he followed the direction of the flow, he should be able to find the exit. After making up his mind, Noah began to set off in the direction of the lake. However, this underground river was a little too long. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he could not see the end at all. At this moment, Noah felt hungry again. Looking at the fish that jumped out of the underground river from time to time, Noah had an idea. Noah immediately walked to the side of the underground river and squatted down, waiting for the fish to jump out again. After a while, the silver fish jumped out of the river again. Noah found the right time and pounced on them, but he overestimated his speed. By the time he pounced, the fish had already jumped back into the river. Noah felt that it was a pity, but he was not discouraged by this failure. Instead, he patiently waited for the fish to jump out of the water again. After a while, the fish jumped out of the water again. This time, Noah was quick to react and pounced on it. ¡°I caught it.¡± This time, Noah caught the fish, but before he could be happy, the fish shook its body and broke free from Noah¡¯s hand. ¡°This is too hard to catch!¡± Noah sighed. The silver fish was so slippery that it was impossible to catch it, as if it was covered in a layer of butter. The two consecutive losses also aroused Noah¡¯s competitiveness. He was not leaving until he caught a fish today! Hence, Noah began to wait patiently again. There were a few times when he almost caught the fish, but the fish always slipped away from his hands. After a few times, Noah had also summed up his experience. He could grasp the timing when the fish jumped out of the water, but he could not grasp it firmly. With that thought, Noah took off his already wet clothes and wrapped them around his hand as a fishing net. Just then, several silver fish jumped out of the water again. Noah wrapped his hands around his clothes and caught them. ¡°Yes!¡± The two silver fish were finally caught by Noah¡¯s net. ¡°Hahaha! Finally!¡± Noya shouted excitedly. The two silver fish struggled in Noah¡¯s clothes for a long time, but it was in vain. Noah also saw the appearance of the silver fish. Each silver fish was the size of a palm, and they were shining with silver light. Their bodies were also translucent, but to Noah¡¯s surprise, there was nothing inside the silver fish. It was as if they were just outer shells. At this moment, a miraculous scene happened. The struggling fish instantly stopped struggling. Under Noah¡¯s eyes, the two fish turned into two silver lights and entered Noah¡¯s body. ¡°Where¡¯s the fish?¡± Looking at the disappearing fish, Noah was puzzled, but he suddenly felt that he was not so hungry anymore. It was the same feeling he had when he absorbed the two crystals. It was as if some kind of energy had been replenished in his body. Although he was not very hungry, Noah was not happy. Why did he catch the fish? Just to fill his stomach? He wanted to eat meat! Having been in this world for so long, he had not eaten meat for a long time. He finally thought that he would be able to eat fish, but in the end, the fish that was in his mouth flew away! Noah was a little angry, but he did not say anything. After the silver light entered his body, his originally weak spirit seemed to have been supplemented with sufficient energy. Noah could only accept the reality that he could not eat fish and caught a few more whitebait. After a few attempts, he gradually discovered that these silver fish were not real fish. As long as these fish left the underground river, they would turn into silver light in less than five minutes and then enter Noah¡¯s body. As more and more silver light entered his body, Noah seemed to find that there was more and more special energy in his body. He also became more and more energetic, and the most obvious thing was that his senses were becoming clearer. He could even feel the movement dozens of meters away! Just like that, Noah continued to move in the direction of the underground river. When he was hungry, he would catch a few fish to replenish his strength. Finally, Noah did not know how long he had been walking. After reaching a fault more than three meters high, Noah finally saw light. Noah was instantly excited. After walking for so long, he finally saw hope. He could not even remember how many fish he had eaten. There were at least a hundred of them, and he could not eat anymore as he felt that the special energy in his body seemed to be full. Noah had a feeling that he would not be so weak if he were to cast fireball again. He vaguely guessed that the mysterious force in his body should be magic. However, Noah did not have the time to think about this. Getting out of this dark underground river was the most important thing. After crawling through more than ten faults, Noah finally came out of the underground river! There was no longer a forest in front of him, but a vast plain! At this moment, a loud and clear cry came from the sky. Noah looked up and saw a huge bird nearly twenty meters long gliding past at an incredible speed. ¡°What is that?¡± A look of fear flashed across Noah¡¯s face. Although they were nearly a thousand meters apart, Noah had a faint feeling that this big bird was definitely fiercer than the giant wolves and bears he had seen. Noah did not dare to move forward for a while. When he saw that the giant bird had disappeared, he walked forward with a nervous mood. ¡°This world is too dangerous. I have to find the humans as soon as possible. Even though Noah thought so, he was not sure if there were humans in this world. However, he had already gone so far, so he could only continue moving forward.¡± After crossing countless small hills, the forest behind him could only be seen vaguely, but Noah still could not see a single person. Just as Noah was about to rest, a cloud of dust rose from the distant plains. Noah looked over. At first, there were a few black dots. Then, he gradually saw that it was a group of horses. Nearly twenty horses were galloping toward him. ¡°What?¡± Noah was overjoyed. Had he finally found a human? Noah¡¯s nose turned sour, and he could not help but want to cry. It had not been easy. They had finally seen a human! Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ten minutes later, the group of horses stopped in front of Noah. Noah also saw it clearly. It was really a human, but it was dressed a little strangely. There were both men and women in this group, but all of them were wearing armor. Some of them were even wrapped in unknown beast skins, looking full of wildness. They were also carrying weapons on their backs. The men were carrying huge swords and battle axes, while the women were carrying bows and arrows on their backs and daggers tied to their feet. Moreover, the horses they were riding did not seem to be ordinary horses. Although they looked similar to horses, they were more handsome and mystical than the horses on earth. Their black and bright fur shone like black gems under the sun. It was obvious that they had been well-fed by their owners. This group of people also saw Noah, but when they saw Noah¡¯s strange attire, they all stood in formation and looked at Noah with vigilance. ¡°Miss, it¡¯s a human.¡± Noah heard a man with a giant sword speak to the person behind him. As soon as the man¡¯s voice fell, the horses separated in an orderly manner, and a young girl riding a fine horse came forward from behind them. Noah also looked at the girl, and the first thing he saw was her striking red hair. The girl was also wearing armor, but it seemed more luxurious than the others, and there were beautiful patterns engraved on it. The young lady looked extremely heroic, just like a female general. Hello, we are the Warhammer adventurer team from Cozovo city. My name is Lily Jones. Why are you here alone?¡± Lily greeted him politely. ¡°Cozovo city? An adventurer team?¡± Noah knew nothing about these names, but from Lily¡¯s words, he at least knew that there was a city called Cozovo nearby. If there was a city, it meant that there were other humans! Noah was very excited and immediately introduced himself politely, ¡°Hello, my name is Noah. I¡¯m from¡­¡± After stammering for a long time, Noah did not know how to say it. Was he going to say that he was from Earth? It would be a wonder if he was not arrested for being a lunatic. Noah was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he said, ¡°I came from a very distant place and accidentally lost my way here.¡± Noah finally came up with a very lame reason. However, when he looked up to observe the girl¡¯s expression, she was full of doubt. ¡°What are you saying? What language is this? I¡¯ve never heard it before.¡± Lily asked, puzzled. ¡°What?¡± Noah was surprised. The girl did not understand what he was saying? He could clearly understand the girl¡¯s words! Suddenly, Noah¡¯s consciousness said that he really did not know this world¡¯s language. When he was communicating with Amelia, it seemed that Amelia had used some kind of special magic to allow them to communicate normally. ¡°Could it be that the spell is temporary?¡± Noah did not understand what was happening. What should he do now? If they spoke different languages, how could he ask the other party to bring him to Cozovo city? After thinking for a while, Noah began to gesture at Lily in an extremely funny way, trying to make Lily understand what he meant. Lily was also very curious. There was a human alone in the Terrence Plains, and he was speaking a language she had never heard before, but he did not seem to be a bad person. With Noah¡¯s hard gestures, Lily seemed to understand a little of Noah¡¯s meaning. ¡°You want to follow us?¡± Lily asked tentatively. Noah nodded desperately. ¡°You can understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Lily was getting more and more curious. This man could understand her words, but he did not know their language! Noah nodded again. At this moment, the man with the giant sword also came over. ¡°Miss, this person is acting strange. We¡¯d better leave quickly.¡± Noah panicked when he heard the man¡¯s words and quickly gestured at Lily again. ¡°You¡¯re saying that you don¡¯t have any ill intentions toward us, and you just want to leave with us?¡± The girl¡¯s ability to understand was perfect. Hearing Lily¡¯s words, Noah quickly nodded in agreement. Lily was a little conflicted. They still had a mission to complete. Letting a stranger join them might affect their mission, but she could not bear to leave Noah here alone. After some thought, Lily said, ¡°Alright, you can follow us.¡± ¡°Miss!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Kane. I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± Lily said to the man with the giant sword. Hearing Lily¡¯s words, Kane had to give up, but he still looked at Noah with vigilance. ¡°Thank you!¡± Noah expressed his gratitude gratefully, not caring if Lily understood. Lily smiled and seemed to understand Noah¡¯s meaning. ¡°Kane, give him a wind-chasing horse.¡± Lily ordered. ¡°Yes, young lady!¡± Kane white replied respectfully. ¡°So this is called a wind-chasing horse.¡± Then, Noah saw Kane jump off the horse and lead one of the few wind-chasing horses at the back of the team to Noah. ¡°Here!¡± Kane said impatiently. Noah took the reins and observed the wind-chasing horse with interest. After Kane got back on his horse, he looked at Noah again as if he wanted to see him make a fool of himself. One had to know that these wind-chasing horses were specially trained by them. Without their instructions, outsiders who wanted to ride these horses would definitely make a fool of themselves and might even get injured! However, what shocked Kane was that after Noah took the reins, it was extremely tame. He looked carefully and found that the horse was actually trembling. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Just as he revealed a look of disbelief, the next scene made his jaw drop. The usually unruly wind-chasing horse knelt in front of Noah as if begging him to ride it. Kane could not help but rub his eyes. is this still a wind-chasing horse? ¡± In order to tame a wind chasing foal, he had suffered a lot, but in the end, such an arrogant wind-chasing horse was so humble in front of Noah! Noah did not react either. He had never ridden a horse before. He was still thinking about how to ride it when the horse knelt down on its own. He stroked the neck of the wind-chasing horse. ¡°Good horse!¡± Then, Noah easily jumped and rode on it. The moment Noah got on, the horse seemed to be very happy. It raised its hooves and neighed. Everyone was shocked by this magical scene, including Lily, who cast a curious look. Kane snorted and returned to the team, and Noah quickly followed. After that, the group set off toward the mountains in the distance¡­ Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a few twists and turns, the group arrived at a mountain stream. There were cliffs all around, and in front of them was a winding stream. Noah and the others were riding wind-chasing horses down the river. After observing along the way, Noah could guess the purpose of Lily and the others. They seemed to be looking for something. After about half an hour, the group finally stopped. A vast and boundless cold pool appeared in front of them, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Other than Noah, the others could not help but shiver. ¡°Miss, it doesn¡¯t look like there¡¯s any dragon breath grass here.¡± Kane walked up to Lily and reminded her. Hearing this, Lily¡¯s face turned serious, and her eyes were full of doubt. She had spent 500 magic stones to buy the information on the dragon breath grass from a mysterious information dealer in the city. She had high hopes for it. However, Lily¡¯s heart turned cold when she saw the cold pool in front of her. The dragon breath grass was a fire-attributed plant. How could it grow in such an extremely cold place? ¡°Could it be that I¡¯ve been tricked?¡± Lily muttered in her heart. She did not believe that someone would dare to deceive her, the mayor¡¯s daughter, in Cozovo city! However, the truth was right in front of her eyes, and she had to admit that she seemed to have really been deceived. Lily¡¯s heart was full of anger and unwillingness. She had paid such a high price. 500 magic stones were enough for an ordinary person to live a carefree life for the rest of his life! This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that her father¡¯s cold illness could not be delayed any longer. Without the help of the dragon breath grass, her father would not be able to live long! At the thought of this, Lily still held on to the last trace of hope. What if there was dragon breath grass here? Since she was already here, she would not be satisfied if she did not search carefully! ¡°Kane, David, you two lead ten people each and conduct a carpet search around the cold pond. Report to me immediately if you find anything.¡± ¡°Yes, Miss!¡± Thus, Kane and another man named David, who was wearing a battle axe, each led ten people and began to search the cold pool. Only Noah and Lily were left. Noah also found out what they were looking for from their conversation. The dragon breath grass sounded like an extremely precious treasure. However, due to the language barrier, Noah was unable to obtain more information. Two hours later, Kane and the others came back. ¡°Miss, there really is a discovery!¡± Kane reported in a hurry. ¡°You found the dragon breath grass?¡± Lily asked in surprise. ¡°No, we searched every corner around the cold pool and didn¡¯t find any dragon breath grass. However, we found a cave in the Northwest corner of the cold pool,¡± Kane explained. Lily could not help but feel a little disappointed, but when she heard the word ¡°cave,¡± she was reinvigorated. They could not find it anywhere, so maybe the dragon breath grass was in the cave. Lily no longer hesitated and immediately ordered everyone to move into the cave. However, when she looked at Noah, she looked a little conflicted, as if she did not know what to do with Noah. ¡°We¡¯re going to a cave, and it might be dangerous. Are you coming with us or waiting for us here?¡± Lily turned to look at Noah and asked. Noah made a gesture without thinking, indicating that he would go with them. After all, he also wanted to see what the precious dragon breath grass looked like. After receiving Noah¡¯s response, Lily happily agreed, and the group officially set off for the cave. About half an hour later, the group arrived in front of the cave Kane had discovered. This cave looked quite large, and the inside of the cave was a deep darkness, like the mouth of an abyss, making people feel intimidated. The surrounding temperature was already very low, but he didn¡¯t expect the temperature at the entrance to be even lower. ¡°Let¡¯s go in,¡± Lily said softly. The group dismounted from their wind chasing foals, and after securing the reins, they carefully entered the cave. As soon as they entered the cave, a bone-piercing chill instantly attacked them, accompanied by a dark and damp smell. It was pitch black in front of them. At this time, Lily took out a black stick-like thing out of nowhere and began to mutter. ¡°Great light elements, please listen to my call. Dispel the darkness, Light spell!¡± As Lily finished her incantation, a dazzling light was released from the wooden stick. The dark cave suddenly became bright. Kane and the others looked at Lily in awe. It was the reverence of a lower life form to a higher life form! Noah was also shocked. He did not expect Lily to be a magician. Lily must have been chanting a spell, and the wooden stick in her hand, Noah guessed, was a magician¡¯s staff. However, in addition to the shock, Noah was also puzzled. He had mastered two kinds of magic, which he inherited from the giant bear and the giant wolf. However, no matter what kind of magic it was, he only needed to think about it to release it. It seemed that there was no need for any spells. Lily had chanted the spell first and released the magic with the help of the staff. What was the difference between the two? Noah was extremely curious. He really wanted to go up and ask, but it was obvious that now was not a good time. He could only go to Cozovo city to find out more. ¡°Young man, are you envious? Our young lady is about to become an official mage. She is the youngest official mage in the history of our Cozovo city. Our young lady will definitely be more powerful than the City Lord in the future.¡± Kane walked to Noah and showed off. Those who did not know would think that he was the one who had become an official mage. From Kane¡¯s words, Noah got another piece of information. Lily was not an official mage yet. It seemed that there was a clear division of ranks among mages. So, what rank was he? Lily looked calm after casting the spell. It was obvious that the spell was insignificant to her. ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡± With Lily¡¯s illumination, it was no longer pitch-black, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to have risen a little, no longer so cold. The group of people carefully walked into the depths of the cave. However, after walking for a long time, not to mention the figure of the dragon breath grass, he did not even find a single plant. It seemed that the cave was completely barren. Other than the sound of water dripping, there was nothing else! Suddenly, Noah seemed to have noticed something. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Wait!¡± Noah did not care if everyone understood what he meant and shouted. The group of people stopped. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lily was the first to ask. She looked at Noah¡¯s nervous expression as if she had discovered something. ¡°Kid, what are you shouting for?¡± Kane also asked curiously. Noah did not reply. Instead, he stared ahead nervously. After absorbing the energy of the two crystals and hundreds of silver fish, his perception had changed. He could clearly feel the wind blowing and the grass moving about 100 meters away. Just a moment ago, he had suddenly sensed something approaching them from not far away. At this moment, he sensed it again carefully and confirmed that there was indeed something slowly approaching them. Although he did not know what it was, Noah¡¯s subconscious told him that it was very dangerous! Hence, Noah gestured at Lily. Lily quickly understood Noah¡¯s meaning. ¡°Are you saying that there¡¯s something up ahead that can pose a threat to us?¡± Noah nodded. After receiving Noah¡¯s response, Lily looked puzzled. Her illumination spell had a range of nearly ten meters, and her spiritual perception had a range of twenty meters. However, she could not see anything in front of her or within the range of her spiritual perception. Could it be that his spiritual perception range was even wider than his? How was that possible? She was about to become an official mage, and Noah was about the same age as her, so it was impossible for him to be an official mage already. Moreover, she did not feel any magic power from Noah at all! Lily also believed that Noah would not stop them for no reason. After some thought, Lily decided to send someone to check it out just in case. ¡°George, go and take a look.¡± ¡°Yes, Miss.¡± After receiving the order, George Martin took out a metal cylinder and turned it. The top of the cylinder glowed, but the light was weaker than Lily¡¯s magic and the range was smaller. Noah¡¯s expression was a little strange when he saw the metal cylinder because the cylinder in George¡¯s hand looked like a flashlight on earth. George walked forward with the shining metal cylinder in his hand. Gradually, George walked out of the range of the illumination spell and saw a spot of light moving forward in the darkness. ¡°George, did you find anything?¡± Kane asked loudly. ¡°Captain, I didn¡¯t find anything.¡± George replied. ¡°I knew you were just trying to be mysterious!¡± After receiving George¡¯s response, Kane turned his head and looked at Noah fiercely. ¡°No way?¡± Noah was also a little puzzled. He could still sense that there was something not far away, and it was still moving forward. From the looks of it, it should have already touched George. While Noah was still confused, there was a sudden scream from George¡¯s side. ¡°Ah! Miss, run!¡± The group¡¯s expressions changed drastically. ¡°George? George?¡± Kane called out again. However, there was no response this time. ¡°There¡¯s really something in there?¡± Kane looked at Noah in disbelief. At this moment, Noah sensed that the thing not far away suddenly accelerated toward them. Kane also reacted. quickly protect the lady and leave the cave! Under the command, everyone protected Lily and ran toward the cave entrance. George was about to become an official knight. As long as he was not an official knight or mage, he could protect himself even if he could not defeat his opponent. However, it was obvious that the unknown that George was facing was far beyond his strength, which was why he didn¡¯t even have a chance to resist! At this time, the thing behind him sped up again. Noah subconsciously looked back and saw a huge figure appear in his field of vision¡­ ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Noah¡¯s heart trembled. The first thing that came into view was an incomparably huge head that looked like a snake. A pair of sharp venomous fangs were exposed, and just the fangs alone were half the height of a person. Its entire head was covered in a layer of white frost, and there was still a pair of faintly protruding horns on the top of its head. The giant snake¡¯s eyes were like a pair of emeralds, flashing with an ominous glint. Its mouth emitted bursts of cold air, and everywhere it passed was instantly covered in a layer of frost. The snake¡¯s body was so huge that one could not even see its head. Its body was thicker than a well, and just the part that could be seen was nearly ten meters long. The scales on its body also seemed to be made of pieces of ice crystals, making it look like it was covered in ice armor. Lily looked back and saw the giant snake, her eyes full of disbelief. ¡°Giant Ice Python! A Giant Ice Python that¡¯s about to become a second-grade magical beast!¡± Lily could not help but exclaim. She could not figure out why there would be a second-grade magical beast here. The map clearly showed that they were in the area where ordinary magical beasts lived. However, there was no time for her to think. Lily took out her staff again. ¡°Freedom wind elves, please give us your blessings, wind protection!¡± The moment the spell was chanted, everyone¡¯s body emitted a faint blue light. Then, Noah felt his body become lighter, and the result was that he ran faster. He even felt like he was about to fly. ¡°What a magical spell!¡± With Lily¡¯s help, the group quickly ran out of the cave. However, before he could be happy, the Giant Ice Python also followed closely out of the cave, only a few dozen meters away from Noah and the others. Kane and the others finally got a clear look at the giant creature in front of them. Under the pressure of the Ice Python, Kane and the other guards could not help but feel their legs go soft, and their hearts beat faster! ¡°Protect the young lady!¡± Kane took a deep breath and ordered everyone. The rest of the people received the order and surrounded Lily, waiting for her. ¡°Don¡¯t panic, everyone. This Giant Ice Python seems to be shedding its skin. Its strength is at most at the level of a first-grade magical beast. Everyone, listen to my command,¡± Lily also commanded calmly. Noah looked at the Ice Python. Sure enough, the ice scales on its body seemed to be broken. This should be the sign of molting that Lily had mentioned. Everyone was no longer so nervous after hearing Lily¡¯s analysis. They were all experienced adventurers, and several of them were almost becoming official knights. Lily was even about to become an official sorcerer. Such a force could defeat any first-grade magical beast! The Ice Python stood up and observed the group of humans in front of it. After some observation, it found that these humans were all extremely weak and could not pose a threat to it. At the thought of this, the Ice Python was very relaxed. It flicked its tongue and crawled toward Lily and the others. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After eating this group of humans, the energy it needed to advance to a second-grade magical beast would be just about right! In the next second, several icicles condensed in front of the Ice Python, and then shot out like arrows from a bow. ¡°Cross sword formation!¡± Kane shouted. All the warriors in the team who were holding huge swords instantly moved closer. With a furious roar, the people holding the huge swords instantly burst out with a shocking aura. Immediately after, they waved their huge swords and drew a cross in front of them. Several cross-shaped swords were stimulated from the huge swords in their hands, forming a wall of swords, and collided with the Ice Python¡¯s icicles. However, in the next second, the swords were like paper. It only managed to slow down the speed of the icicles before it dissipated. The expressions of Kane and the others changed. Although they had already expected that the Ice Python would be very powerful, they still didn¡¯t expect it to be so powerful. Their cross-sword array was like an empty shell! ¡°David!¡± Kane exclaimed. David¡¯s face darkened. He took out his giant axe and stood in front of him. ¡°Flame combat energy!¡± David shouted, and the few people behind him who were also holding giant axes suddenly burst into flames. With David as the leader, the few of them swung their giant axes at the icicles, and a shock wave wrapped in flames collided with the icicles again. The shock wave seemed to have worked. The icicles melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, but when the shock wave dissipated, the icicles were still coming at them. David could not help but look bitter. It was indeed an existence that was about to become a second-grade magical beast. It was so difficult to deal with just a few icicles! Seeing that Kane and David could not completely block the icicles, Lily finally stood up. ¡°Mother of strength, please bestow your glory, earth barrier!¡± A yellow curtain of light instantly formed, enveloping everyone. At this moment, the icicles hit the light curtain. The light barrier shook and after a ripple, the icicles was successfully blocked by the light barrier. Although they had successfully defended against the Ice Python¡¯s attack, everyone¡¯s faces became more and more serious. It took almost everyone¡¯s effort to block the attack! The Giant Ice Python not far away had a human-like look of surprise in its eyes. It did not expect this group of seemingly weak humans to be able to withstand its casual attack. However, it was only a little surprised. Lily and the others were still just food in its eyes! Then, a silvery-white light shone on the head of the Ice Python. A gust of cold wind came out of its mouth, and the surrounding flowers and trees withered the moment they came into contact with the cold air. ¡°Everyone, retreat into the light curtain!¡± Lily quickly ordered everyone to retreat. Soon, the cold air came and everything around the light curtain was turned into ice sculptures. Everyone gasped. If not for Lily¡¯s timely help, they would have turned into ice sculptures! However, even within the light curtain, everyone could still feel a bone-piercing chill! Noah was dazzled by the series of battles. The power of the Ice Python was beyond his expectations. He secretly made a comparison. Whether it was the giant bear or the giant wolf, they could not compare to the python in front of him! What shocked Noah even more was Lily. So far, Lily had cast several spells, and they had all played a key role. The battle with Kane and the others also made his eyes light up. Humans could have such strong physical fitness and could even ignite flames from their bodies, and the flames were obviously not magic! ¡°I wonder how my physical fitness is compared to Kane and the others?¡± After coming out of the underground river, Noah had a faint feeling that his body was about to evolve. It was a very strange feeling, as if it needed some kind of stimulation to complete this change. Before Noah could think further, the situation on the field changed again. The light curtain above their heads seemed to be unable to hold on under the constant attack of the cold air. Lily also realized this. ¡°Organize our defense. I¡¯m going to prepare fire-type magic!¡± Lily ordered. ¡°Yes.¡± Everyone was waiting for her. Lily began to chant again, but this time, the incantation was longer than the previous ones. ¡°Great fire element, your light shines on the world, melting the ice and snow, bringing hope to the world. Please listen to my call, release your light and heat, fire rain!¡± As Lily¡¯s incantation fell, a wave of heat surged around them. The Ice Python¡¯s cold air seemed to be gradually dissipating under the heat. This was not the end. Suddenly, nearly a hundred light spots appeared in the sky. Upon closer inspection, they were actually flames. At this moment, the flames fell on the Ice Python like rain. After doing all this, Lily¡¯s body swayed, and she sat on the ground. It was obvious that the spell seemed to have consumed a lot of her energy! Lily, on the other hand, looked in the direction of the Ice Python with anticipation. This was a level-one spell that only an official mage could cast. She could barely cast this spell with the help of the level-one magic staff in her hand. This was also her most powerful fire-element spell so far. If this spell was not effective, then there was basically no hope for the other spells. She only hoped that this spell could cause serious damage to the Ice Python, so that they still had a chance of defeating it. The dense rain of fire fell on the Ice Python¡¯s body, making sizzling sounds. The Ice Python wanted to avoid it, but its body was too large, and the rain of fire was aimed at it as if it had opened its eyes. Under the attack of the rain of fire, the Ice Python was in so much pain that it let out a roar. ¡°It¡¯s effective!¡± Seeing this, everyone finally looked happy and looked at Lily with even more respect! This was the power of a mage! As all the fire rain fell, a cloud of dust rose in the surroundings. In the dust, the painful roars of the Ice Python could be heard. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the dust settled, everyone looked expectantly in the direction of the Ice Python, hoping that the spell would be able to finish off the magical beast. However, everyone was disappointed. After the smoke and dust had completely dispersed, the figure of the Ice Python was still standing there, but it looked a little more miserable. There were burn marks all over its body, and green liquid was even flowing out of a few places. It seemed to be its blood. Other than that, the fire rain did not cause any damage to it. Seeing this, Lily fell to the ground weakly. She had underestimated the vitality of a magical beast that was about to become a second-grade magical beast. Even if the Ice Python was in a weak state, it was still not something that a trainee mage like her could deal with. If she was an official mage, there would still be hope. Even her most powerful fire rain had no effect. Lily¡¯s heart was filled with despair! Everyone else¡¯s faces were ashen as well. It was as if they could already see the God of Death beckoning to them. The Ice Python¡¯s eyes were no longer filled with contempt. Instead, it was filled with anger. The food in its eyes had actually hurt it! Unforgivable! It had decided to let these humans die in the most tragic way. The first one was Lily, the human mage who had injured it! The next moment, the Ice Python no longer released any magic. Instead, it wriggled its body and crawled over. ¡°Protect the young lady!¡± Kane took the lead and stood out with his giant sword. Hearing this, the rest of the people also took out their auras and stepped forward. Lily struggled to her feet, picked up her staff, and tried to cast fire rain again. However, as soon as she began to chant the spell, a wave of dizziness struck her. Lily¡¯s body swayed, and she fell down again. ¡°Damn, I¡¯m out of magic power!¡± Then, Lily turned to look at Noah and handed the staff to him. ¡°Hurry up and escape. Cozovo city is in that direction. While we delay the Ice Python, run as far as you can and bring my staff to my father. Please!¡± Lily asked. Looking at the staff in front of him, Noah hesitated. The situation in front of him was obvious. Lily and the others were no match for the Python. He had seen how powerful the Ice Python was and wanted to help them, but he only knew how to cast a fireball. He should not be a match for the python. Now that Lily had said so, after thinking for a while, Noah took the staff from Lily¡¯s hand and left without saying anything. A trace of disappointment flashed in Lily¡¯s eyes at Noah¡¯s reaction, but then she was relieved. Noah was not her man, and it was normal for him to run away. She only hoped that Noah would bring her staff to her father. At the thought of her father, tears welled up in Lily¡¯s eyes. She had come out this time to find the dragon¡¯s breath grass for her father, but she had not found it. Instead, she had lost the lives of so many people. Lily felt extremely guilty. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, father!¡± While Lily was still feeling sad, Noah suddenly came back. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± Seeing Noah return, Lily could not help but urge. Noah was about to leave. He had already run a few hundred meters, but he hesitated halfway. He was afraid of death, but if he just left like this, even if he could survive, he would live in guilt for the rest of his life! In the end, after struggling for a long time, Noah returned. Seeing Noah standing there in a daze, Lily could not help but feel touched. Noah had only met them by chance, but he had chosen to come back at this critical moment and share life and death with them. This courage was not something that anyone could possess! In fact, Noah was already regretting it, especially when he saw the Ice Python fighting with the group not far away. ¡°Why the hell did I come back?¡± ¡°F*ck, I don¡¯t care anymore. At most, it¡¯s just death. Anyway, I¡¯ve already died once!¡± Thinking about it, Noah no longer panicked. At most, he would die, but before he died, he would burn a few holes in this python! Therefore, Noah stepped forward and helped Lily up, then walked up alone. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Seeing Noah walk up, Lily quickly exclaimed. Noah did not respond. She would not understand it anyway. Noah held the wand in his hand, and a heat wave suddenly rose around him. To Lily¡¯s surprise, a purple flame rose. The magic staff in his hand seemed to have been completely activated, shining with a dazzling light. In a short while, a purplish-black fireball the size of half a human¡¯s size had completely condensed in front of Noah. The Ice Python that was fighting with Kane and the others suddenly noticed something and turned to look at Noah. When it saw the strange purplish-black fireball, it was instantly frightened, and its eyes were full of fear. As a result, the Ice Python did not dare to get entangled with Kane and the others. It directly broke away from the fight and crawled toward Noah. Its body lit up with a silver-white light, and the ice in front of the ice Python slowly froze, gradually spreading toward Noah. An even larger icicle condensed at the same time and shot toward Noah. Noah¡¯s fireball was also ready. ¡°Go.¡± Without any complicated incantations, he condensed a fireball with a thought, and with a word, the fireball shot out. Halfway there, the heat waves caused by the fireballs melted the ice on the ground and collided with the icicles. The icicles that had taken everyone¡¯s energy to block just now were like the worst plastic at this moment. The moment they touched the fireball, they melted into nothing! Lily¡¯s eyes widened in shock! What did she just see? Noah was actually a mage, and from the mana fluctuations, he was actually an official level-one mage! Also, why did he not need to chant to release magic? Countless doubts filled Lily¡¯s mind. After Noah¡¯s fireball melted the icicle, it continued to hit the Ice Python. The Ice Python was also stunned for a moment. It clearly did not expect its icicles to melt so easily! Looking at the fireball that was already within reach, the Ice Python was on guard. The horns on its head glowed with a silver light, and a frosty breath came out of its mouth. Although the power of the fireball surprised it, it believed that it was nothing compared to its breath. This was the magic that it had awakened as a second-grade magical beast! Although it was not as powerful as a second-grade spell, it was definitely not something that a grade-one spell could compare to. However, the Ice Python¡¯s eyes were soon filled with confusion. This was because the fireball that was covered in black flames seemed to be unaffected by the frost breath. It completely ignored the frost breath and smashed into the monster¡¯s body. A loud explosion was heard, and everyone was stunned by the fireball. ¡°Is this really the power of the fireball technique?¡± The thick smoke dispersed, and a scene that made everyone¡¯s scalps tingle appeared. They saw a hole in the body of the Ice Python, which had been showing off just now. Noah¡¯s fireball had penetrated the body of the Ice Python! Moreover, the hole was still emitting sizzling sounds. Looking closely, the flesh of the Ice Python was actually being corroded bit by bit! Everyone was so shocked that they could not speak. Noah was also stunned. When did his fireball become so powerful? However, even with such a serious injury, the Ice Python was still not dead. It spat out a cold breath at its wound as if to seal its injury with ice. However, just as the cold breath sealed the wound, it was instantly melted by a black flame. The Giant Ice Python let out a heart-wrenching roar, as if it was asking what the hell this was! The intense pain finally reminded the Ice Python that it could not stay here any longer. If it continued to stay here, it would really die if the human threw another fireball at it! On this point, it had a tacit understanding with Noah, because Noah saw that the fireball was so effective, but it had not completely killed the python, so he unhurriedly released another fireball. Before the Ice Python could react, the fireball hit it again. ¡°Roar!¡± A blood-curdling screech reverberated through the entire cold pond. Noah could not help but be surprised when he released the fireballs again. The second fireball not only became more powerful, but they also became faster. Noah could not help but look at the staff in his hand. It should be the staff credit. The two consecutive fireballs completely silenced the Ice Python. When the dust settled, the Ice Python was lying on the ground, dying. It no longer had any energy to move around! Everyone was speechless. A second-grade magical beast killed by two fireballs. Kane looked at Noah as if he had seen a ghost. ¡®This brat is actually such a powerful mage. I actually want to find trouble with him?¡¯ Kane could not help but feel scared. With his strength, even a hundred of him would not be enough to kill Noah! What followed was incomparable excitement. They had survived from a second-grade magical beast! Even though they were not of much use, it was still an extremely glorious thing! ¡°Kill it! Give it a fatal blow!¡± Kane immediately commanded. Hearing this, everyone understood. With Noah holding the line at the back, they were full of confidence. Their swords, axes, and bows and arrows all greeted the Giant Ice Python. Normally, the Ice Python would not even bother to move. However, at this moment, these weak attacks would easily kill it. In less than ten minutes, the Ice Python lost all signs of life! Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°We won! We¡¯ve won!¡± Kane and the others surrounded the corpse of the Ice Python and cheered as if they had killed the Ice Python with their own hands! Lily also heaved a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster. ¡°Here, your staff.¡± Noah returned the staff to Lily. Lily took the staff and showed a rare smile. ¡°Thank you,¡± she said. Originally, they would have died today, but because of a coincidence, Noah¡¯s existence allowed them to survive. Lily was extremely glad that Noah had joined their team. This was probably fate! After returning the staff to Lily, Noah also turned his eyes to the body of the Ice Python. He was very curious as to whether this Ice Python¡¯s body also had that mysterious crystal. Absorbing that crystal seemed to be very beneficial to him. At this time, Lily also walked toward the body of the Ice Python. Walking to the front of the crowd, Lily began to instruct, ¡°Hurry up and deal with this Ice Python. Other than its horns, teeth, and its life core, you can keep the rest of its body. Hearing this, everyone was excited. They did not expect to get the precious parts of the Ice Python, but other than the few parts that Lily had mentioned, the rest of the parts added together were wealth that ordinary people could not even dream of. For example, although Noah had blown up a lot of the ice armor on the body of the Ice Python, there were still many intact parts. These parts could be sold to forgers or kept to make an inner armor for himself. Even if it was sold to official mages, there would be many mages fighting over it. After all, this was the skin of a second-grade magical beast! Especially those mages who specialized in ice attribute magic, they would definitely regard it as a treasure! There was also the flesh of the Ice Python, which contained the powerful life force of a magical beast. It was a good choice whether they ate it themselves or sold it to the knights. As a result, the crowd quickly got into action. This group of people had done these many times. Each and every one of them was extremely agile. The nearly 20-meter-long Ice Python was completely divided up by the group in less than two hours, leaving only some unimportant parts on the spot, waiting for other magical beasts to find them and eat them. After dealing with it, Kane called three people to bring the Ice Python¡¯s horns, teeth, and life core to Lily. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Tell everyone that we¡¯ll be preparing to return to the city after a short rest.¡± Lily ordered. ¡°Understood.¡± Noah was also a little excited when he heard the news of returning to the city. He could finally re-enter human society! Collecting his thoughts, he once again looked at the mysterious crystal. Hence, it was called a life core. While Noah was still curious, Lily reached out her right hand. An extremely beautiful bracelet on her wrist flashed. She swept it over her horns and teeth, and the two things disappeared in an instant! Only the life core of the Ice Python was still in Lily¡¯s hands. Noah was extremely curious. Such a large horn and teeth seemed to be absorbed by Lily¡¯s bracelet! ¡°What kind of magic is this?¡± Lily turned around and walked to Noah. ¡°This is the life core of the Ice Python. It¡¯s the most precious thing in its body. I¡¯ll give it to you. Please accept it. Without you, we¡¯d probably all be dead,¡± Lily said gratefully. Looking at the life core that was like an ice crystal, Noah clearly felt a desire in his body again, as if a voice was urging him to absorb the life core. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not an ice element mage. If you were an ice element mage, this life core would be of great help to your magic training. But it¡¯s fine. When you return to the city, you can find other mages to trade. You should be able to exchange it for a fire element life core that is useful to you.¡± Hearing Lily¡¯s words, Noah looked surprised. From what she said, the life core was indeed used to help magicians cultivate, but it seemed to have attribute restrictions. He released fireballs, so Lily thought he was a fire magician and could not absorb the ice attribute life core. However, this was where the problem lay. He had a strong feeling that he could absorb this ice-attribute life core! There was a precedent for this. Did the giant bear and the giant wolf not have different attributes? One was of the fire element and the other was of the earth element. However, he had absorbed both life cores and had even inherited two spells from them. However, he had not used any of the giant bear¡¯s spells. From the looks of it, he seemed to be different from ordinary people. What was going on? Noah¡¯s first thought was Amelia. Amelia seemed to have done something to his body, which might be the reason. However, so far, it should have been beneficial to him. Perhaps this was the gift that Amelia Arveis was talking about. Who was Amelia? Noah did not know, so he could only take it one step at a time. Noah put away the life core of the Ice Python, but he did not notice that someone in the team was staring at the life core in his arms. An hour later, everyone had rested and recuperated. Lily gave the order for everyone to return to Cozovo city. On the way back, Noah was no longer invisible. The people in the team did not care if they could communicate with Noah and ran over to talk to him. This was an official mage! If he could build a good relationship with them, the benefits he would receive would be unimaginable. Especially Kane. Noah felt a little funny. A burly man was trying to please him like a girl. His words were full of flattery and his posture was extremely respectful, just like how he treated Lily! Every time they took a break to eat, Kane would always give Noah the most delicious part of the wild beasts he hunted. The others were all ridiculing him, wondering if Kane was ready to betray Lily. Hearing this, Kane¡¯s enthusiasm was somewhat restrained. He did not want to do this either. He was afraid that Noah would hold a grudge. Although he did not do anything, it was the greatest insult to show any malice to an official mage! Kane was afraid that Noah would cause trouble for him when he returned to the city, so he was flattering him. Fortunately, Noah did not seem to take it to heart. Although he did not speak the same language as the others, he always smiled at them. This was different from all the other magicians Kane had met. All the mages he had seen were synonymous with high-spirited and unsociable. Every magician had pride in their bones. They disdained to associate with ordinary people, let alone mingle with them like Noah. Just like that, in a rather relaxed atmosphere, the group got closer and closer to Cozovo city. However, on this day, they were suddenly attacked by a wave of magical beasts. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Miss, we¡¯ve been surrounded by a group of Horned Scorpion Tigers.¡± Kane stood beside Lily with a gloomy face. Hearing the names of the magical beasts, Noah looked over with interest. Sure enough, it was just like their name. This group of magical beasts in front of them looked somewhat similar to the tigers on earth, but it was only a little similar. This group of magical beasts had a single horn on their heads, and the fur on their bodies was dark brown. Although it was called fur, it was more like a layer of armor on the surface of their bodies. They also had a tail that was raised high behind them. It was actually an incomparably huge scorpion tail! ¡°Formation!¡± Kane immediately ordered. Hearing this, everyone took out their weapons and rode on their horses to protect Lily and Noah, cautiously staring at the Horned Scorpion Tigers that had surrounded them. The Horned Scorpion Tigers was not an official first-grade magical beast. As long as the trainee knight was careful, it would not be too difficult to deal with the Horned Scorpion Tigers. However, the Horned Scorpion Tigers was a social creature and would not appear alone. Just like now, dozens of Horned Scorpion Tigers surrounded Noah and the others. Although each of them was not very strong individually, when they worked together, even an official knight or an official mage would find it difficult to deal with them. ¡°Find their leader! As long as we take care of their leader, they will leave,¡± Kane turned around and said to everyone. ¡°Understood!¡± Everyone understood tacitly. At this time, the Horned Scorpion Tigers suddenly let out a low roar. Then, all the Horned Scorpion Tigers began to approach Noah¡¯s group. ¡°Maintain the formation and prepare for the attack!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, all the Horned Scorpion Tigers rushed over at the same time. The Horned Scorpion Tigers were so fast that they arrived in front of the group in the blink of an eye. The one at the front jumped up, opened its mouth, and extended its sharp claws, trying to tear the group of humans in half. In the crowd, a female adventurer raised the bow in her hand, drew the bow, and aimed. Several arrows were shot out so fast that even the air made a buzzing sound. However, when the arrows hit the Horned Scorpion Tiger, they bounced off with the sound of metal hitting metal! As for the Horned Scorpion Tigers that were hit, they only swayed in the air and fell back to the ground. Other than that, they were not affected at all. ¡°Their armor is too hard. My arrows can¡¯t penetrate it.¡± The female adventurer said helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Continue to attack them. We can¡¯t let them swarm us,¡± Kane said coldly. Hearing this, the female adventurer nodded silently and continued to shoot arrows to harass the Horned Scorpion Tigers that were trying to rush into the team. At the same time, the adventurers in the other directions were also defending against the Horned Scorpion Tigers ¡®attacks. They waved their heavy swords and giant axes in the air. In order to maintain the formation, everyone¡¯s combat power was restricted, only ensuring that the Horned Scorpion Tigers did not rush into the group. ¡°Miss, I might need your help,¡± Kane said to Lily in embarrassment. Lily did not say anything and took out her wand. ¡°A fireball was thrown at the leaping Horned Scorpion Tiger. With a boom, the tiger took the fireball head on. The impact of the fireball directly sent the Horned Scorpion Tiger crashing down from the sky. Looking closely, the power of the fireball had shattered the armor of the Horned Scorpion Tiger. The Horned Scorpion Tiger struggled to get up, but just as it got up, it fell back down again, unable to move. ¡°It¡¯s useful! Miss, I can only rely on you.¡± Lily nodded. Then, Kane turned to the others and said, ¡°Protect the young lady and let her focus on casting her magic!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone said in unison. At this moment, another dark purple fireball shot out from the crowd and focused on the Horned Scorpion Tiger. This fireball was even more powerful, directly piercing through the Horned Scorpion Tiger. In an instant, the tiger lost its life. Everyone looked at Noah at the same time. Although they had already seen the power of Noah¡¯s magic, it was still shocking to see it again. With the help of Noah and Lily¡¯s magic, the Horned Scorpion Tigers instantly suffered heavy casualties, and everyone instantly felt relieved. The Horned Scorpion Tiger, which had gained some intelligence, was no longer as fearless as before. It no longer charged at them with its life. ¡°Hold on, they¡¯re scared of us!¡± Kane shouted. However, at this moment, the low roar from before came from the Horned Scorpion Tigers again. All the Horned Scorpion Tigers seemed to have received some kind of order, and once again began to charge without regard for their lives. This time, all the Horned Scorpion Tigers rushed over, and Noah and the others finally saw the leader of this group of Horned Scorpion Tigers. Behind all the Horned Scorpion Tigers, there was an even more muscular Horned Scorpion Tiger with a longer horn on its head and armor that almost covered its entire body. ¡°That¡¯s their leader!¡± Kane pointed at the majestic Horned Scorpion Tiger. Suddenly, Kane let out a cry of surprise. He saw nearly twenty more Horned Scorpion Tigers appear behind the one he had killed. ¡°These Horned Scorpion Tigers aren¡¯t all they have!¡± The crowd, who had originally thought that there was hope, instantly fell when they saw the twenty-odd Horned Scorpion Tigers. ¡°These Horned Scorpion Tigers are probably here to wear us down.¡± Kane guessed. ¡°Noah, you must do your best to protect miss!¡± Kane had already predicted that their formation would be broken, so he gave the order in advance. Everyone held onto their weapons and took a deep breath. They knew that they had to fight for their lives! Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation With the addition of the Horned Scorpion Tigers, the group¡¯s defense became more difficult. Even with the help of Lily and Noah¡¯s magic, it was to no avail. After all, their spells could only deal with two or three Horned Scorpion Tigers at a time. ¡°Captain, I can¡¯t hold on much longer!¡± Someone suddenly shouted. Kane turned his head and saw a red wound on his team member¡¯s arm. Blood was flowing out of the wound, and his face was pale. One could imagine that if the Horned Scorpion Tiger launched another round of attacks, the injured member would become the breakthrough point, and their team would be scattered. At this time, Kane made a prompt decision. ¡°We can¡¯t hold on any longer. Get ready to break out!¡± ¡°Miss, you must follow me closely later!¡± Kane reminded. Lily nodded. ¡°David, come with me later. We¡¯ll find a way out!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± David walked over and replied in a deep voice. The Horned Scorpion Tiger leader let out a low roar again. It seemed to have discovered the group¡¯s intentions. After receiving the order, all the Horned Scorpion Tigers increased their speed again. ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s go!¡± Kane shouted, and everyone whipped and galloped out. ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll protect you!¡± A young man with a long sword walked up to Noah and said. Noah nodded and followed him out. At this time, it could be seen why wind-chasing horses the favorite mounts of most adventurers were. Although they could not be compared with those fierce magic beasts, all wind-chasing foals were magical beasts by nature. Although they had been tamed by humans, they were not timid in the face of the fierce Horned Scorpion Tigers. All of them neighed and rushed forward. The team of nearly ten people was quickly scattered by the large wave of Horned Scorpion Tigers. Kane and David protected Lily and led the way. The two were also heroes. The combat energy unique to knights in their bodies was running wildly, and the air around them seemed to be distorted by this energy. With the cooperation of the two, almost all the Horned Scorpion Tigers that pounced on them were smashed away with one strike. Occasionally, with Lily¡¯s magic fireballs, they could even kill a Horned Scorpion Tigers directly. On the other side, Noah followed the young adventurer and broke out of the encirclement. The young adventurer¡¯s strength was somewhat beyond Noah¡¯s expectations. He thought that Kane and David were the strongest in this group, but he did not expect that the young man next to him, who he had no impression of, was also not to be underestimated. Not a single Horned Scorpion Tiger could break through his defense. Combined with Noah¡¯s support, their speed was no different from Kane¡¯s. They were even slightly faster, but in different directions. Noah also noticed that the young man was moving further and further away, but he could not communicate with him and could not ask. He could only follow the young man forward. Looking around, everyone had a short confrontation with the Horned Scorpion Tigers, but with their strength, they could basically escape. However, Noah still saw an adventurer being surrounded, and another adventurer on the way to help. He did not know if they would be able to escape safely. Gradually, the number of Horned Scorpion Tigers chasing after him decreased, but at the same time, there was a problem. There were no other adventurers around him, only Noah and the young adventurer. Finally, after running for who knows how long, the Horned Scorpion Tigers behind him finally gave up and stopped chasing. ¡°To be on the safe side, let¡¯s go a little further,¡± The young man said when he saw that the Horned Scorpion Tigers were no longer behind them. Noah nodded. After walking for a while, the young adventurer stopped and said, ¡°Sir, please go a little further. I¡¯ll stay here and observe the situation. If the Horned Scorpion Tigers don¡¯t catch up, I¡¯ll come to you.¡± The young adventurer suddenly suggested. Although Noah was suspicious, he only thought that the other party was being cautious, so he did not care. He stepped on the stirrup and slowly walked past the young adventurer. Suddenly, just as he walked past the young adventurer, Noah felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. His body could not help but have goosebumps, as if something life-threatening was going to happen the next second. Hence, Noah subconsciously turned his head to remind the young man because not long ago in the cave of the Ice Python, he had the same feeling, and thus reminded Lily and the others. However, just as Noah turned his head, a cold light entered his eyes. If one looked carefully, they would see the sharp edge of a long sword slashing straight down at his face! The young adventurer was trying to kill him. Noah did not have time to think. He suddenly fell back, trying to avoid this fatal slash. The young man obviously did not expect Noah to suddenly turn his head and react so quickly. His arm, which had been restrained, instantly used all its strength. It was so fast that it even left an afterimage. Noah¡¯s pupils contracted as he stared at the blade that was slashing down at him. However, because the distance between the two was too close, even though Noah had already fallen back, the blade still cut through his chest, leaving a bloody mark. Noah did not have time to check on his injuries. He quickly turned his head and kicked the stirrups, and the wind-chasing horse rushed out. Seeing that his sneak attack was dodged by Noah, the young man¡¯s face was full of frost, and he immediately chased after Noah. He did not dare to give Noah a chance to open up the distance. If a mage opened up the distance and hit him with a spell, he would not be able to lose his life even if he had ten lives. Although he was very confident in his strength, and even Kane was not his opponent, even an official knight would not dare to be so arrogant if a mage opened up the distance! ¡°Fortunately, I smeared poison on the blade just in case. You can¡¯t run away!¡± He said. The young man smiled as he watched Noah escape. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Noah, who was running in front, was full of doubts. Why did the other party suddenly want to kill him? he did not offend anyone, did he? He did not even have a deep impression of that young man, let alone offend him. Why would he want to kill her? He did not understand. They did not have any grudges. It couldn¡¯t be that they were after money, right? he did not have anything valuable as well. Suddenly, Noah thought of the life core that was still in his arms. ¡°He did this for this?¡± Noah felt that he was pretty close to the truth. Other than that, he really didn¡¯t know why the young man wanted to kill him. Even though he had guessed it, he still could not understand. Was it not just a stone? Was it worth killing him? Just as Noah was thinking, a wave of dizziness hit him, and his vision suddenly became blurry. His body also seemed to be seriously ill, and he gradually became weak. ¡°What¡¯s going on? what¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Noah subconsciously looked at the wound on his chest. At the wound, Noah found that his blood was light gold, but a part of it had turned black. ¡°When did my blood turn golden?¡± Noah was puzzled, but the black blood also made him understand that the blade he had just been hit with was poisonous. After running for a short distance, Noah could no longer hold on and rolled down from the wind-chasing horse. The young man behind him saw this, and his face lit up. ¡°The medicine has finally taken effect! Don¡¯t even talk about casting spells, you¡¯ll be lucky if you can even survive!¡± The poison on the blade was specially prepared by him in case he had to deal with a mage in the future. He did not expect to use it today. However, it was worth it. The young man pulled back the reins and stopped the wind-chasing horse. He walked to Noah¡¯s side. At this moment, he was not worried about Noah¡¯s magic at all. He was poisoned and could not gather magic. If he used magic forcefully, he would die even faster. Noah got up with difficulty and turned to look at the young man. ¡°Why? Why do you want to kill me?¡± Noah asked unwillingly, not caring if the other party could understand. He did not die in a car crash, did not die in the devil-sealing grounds, and did not die in the mouth of a magical beast, but was he going to die in the hands of a human? The young man seemed to understand Noah¡¯s words and said unhurriedly, ¡°You¡¯re asking me why I want to kill you, right? It¡¯s simple, you took something that didn¡¯t belong to you.¡± Sure enough, after hearing the young man¡¯s words, Noah knew that he had guessed correctly. The other party¡¯s target was that life core! ¡°A second-grade life core! Lily actually gave it to a stranger like you. But it¡¯s all thanks to her giving it to you that I have a chance. Originally, I was just a little jealous and didn¡¯t have any thoughts of attacking you, but it¡¯s a pity that even the heavens are helping me. They actually arranged for a group of magical beasts to attack me. If we don¡¯t get this life core, we¡¯ll be wasting such a good opportunity!¡± The young man was no longer worried about any accidents, so he explained without restraint. His tone was a little sarcastic and a little boastful. He could indeed show off. It was almost impossible for a trainee Knight to kill a mage. Of course, Noah was not an official mage, but everyone thought he was. Hearing the young man¡¯s words, Noah knew that he could not escape death today even if he was unwilling. However, even if he died, he couldn¡¯t let the other party succeed so easily! Thus, Noah began to gather his magic power, but just as he did so, he spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Hahaha! You still want to use magic? Do you think my poison is weak?¡± The young man sneered without hiding anything. Noah¡¯s face turned even paler, and unwillingness was written all over his face! ¡°Hand over the life core and I¡¯ll let you die a quick death.¡± The young man seemed to enjoy the feeling of teasing Noah. The mage that he could only look up to in the past could only lie in front of him and look up at him. Of course, the joy of obtaining a second-grade life core had also caused the young man¡¯s body to tremble uncontrollably. Noah felt that his body was getting worse and worse. It was as if there were tens of thousands of needles stabbing him all the time. The poison in his body was like a venomous snake, constantly nibbling away at his body. This venomous snake was rampaging inside his body without any restraint. Noah resigned himself to his fate and lay on the ground, looking up at the distant sky. The sky is so beautiful! I¡¯m being too optimistic. I¡¯m about to die, but I¡¯m still sighing about the beauty of the sky. Suddenly, Noah was stunned. He stared at the sky, and his consciousness gradually scattered. The poison that was originally wreaking havoc in his body suddenly seemed to have met its natural enemy and stopped. If one looked into Noah¡¯s body, they would find that his blood was now flashing with a seven-colored light. When the originally raging poison encountered this seven-colored light, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. The blood in Noah¡¯s body seemed to sense that his body could not hold on any longer and finally began to show its power! Under the purification of the seven-colored blood, the poison essence was actually melting away bit by bit! Noah, who sensed the changes in his body, suddenly came to his senses. ¡®I can still be saved!¡¯ While thinking, Noah pretended to be weak and took out the life core from his arms. Upon seeing the life core that was as pure and holy as snow, the young man was instantly excited. ¡°Yes, give it to me. and I¡¯ll let you die a quick death!¡± Noah still pretended to be weak, but in fact, he felt that his body was slowly recovering. He tried to gather his power, but he no longer felt like he was bound. He only needed to delay a little more, give him a little more time, and he would be able to live! The young man was also fooled by Noah¡¯s acting and really thought that Noah was about to die, so he smiled and walked forward without any guard. ¡°Since you¡¯ve taken the initiative to hand over the life core, I¡¯ll bury you when you die later. I won¡¯t let you die without an intact corpse,¡± As he spoke, the young man squatted down and took the life core from Noah. The moment the life core was in his hand, the young man no longer had the mood to care about Noah. In any case, Noah was already a dead man to him. ¡°I¡¯ve got it. I¡¯ve got the second-grade life core. With this life core, I can become an official knight! Glory and status are all beckoning to me!¡± As if thinking of the bright future, the young man couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. After he was happy enough, the young man looked at Noah. ¡°Respected mage, I¡¯m sorry that today is the day of your death. However, I will watch you die. You are not alone, so I hope you don¡¯t blame me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the cruelty of the world. The strong eat the weak. You have obtained something that doesn¡¯t belong to you, so naturally, you will also attract disaster that doesn¡¯t belong to you,¡± The young man said softly. The young man looked at Noah and found that Noah was saying something, but because Noah¡¯s voice was too soft, the young man couldn¡¯t hear it clearly. ¡°What did you just say?¡± The young man was curious and moved closer to Noah. Just as the young man moved his ear closer to Noah to hear clearly, a burning aura was produced between the two. Chapter 20 - Counterattack Chapter 20 Counterattack The young man immediately felt that something was wrong. He looked down and saw that a purple-black fireball had already condensed. ¡°How is that possible?¡± The young man was shocked. He could not understand how Noah could still release magic. It was impossible for him to understand. The distance between them was so short that the young man had no chance to react. Noah just pushed the fireball forward gently, and the purple-black fireball directly penetrated the young man¡¯s body. It could even destroy the armor of the Horned Scorpion Tiger, let alone the human body. Disbelief was written all over the young man¡¯s face as he knelt on the ground. Red blood flowed out of his mouth. There was a basketball-sized hole in his abdomen that ran through his entire body, and his internal organs and intestines were also overturned. Noah slowly sat up. ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for doing this to you. If you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed by me. However, you are right about one thing. This world is indeed cruel. I don¡¯t even know your name, but you died in my hands.¡± The young man did not understand what Noah was saying, but it did not matter anymore. He had lost because of his arrogance. If he had been able to kill Noah from the start, he would not have died. However, there were no ¡®ifs¡¯ in this world. They only looked at the result, and the result was that he would die! After a while, the young man unwillingly closed his eyes and bid farewell to this world. ¡°Is it worth it? For a stone, you¡¯re willing to give up your life?¡± Noah muttered to himself. After a long time, Noah dug a hole in the ground. ¡°Although you want to kill me, you said that you would bury me if I died. But now that you¡¯re dead, I will also bury you.¡± After saying that, Noah pushed the young man¡¯s body into the pit. He then picked up a stone of moderate size from the side and stuck it in front of the young man¡¯s grave. ¡°When a person dies, there¡¯s nothing left!¡± Noah suddenly said. It was unknown if he was saying it for the young man or for himself. Perhaps it was both. Noah turned around and mounted the wind-chasing horse. He then looked at the wind chasing foal that the young man was riding. After thinking for a moment, he decided to let the wind chasing foal destroy itself. After that, Noah lowered his head and said to the wind-chasing horse under him, ¡°Can you find your companions? Take me to them.¡± Noah did not know why he asked this question, but he felt that the wind-chasing horse could lead him to Lily and the others. Sure enough, the next moment, without Noah¡¯s order, the horse started to run Northwest. ¡°Are you sure about this?¡± On the other side, Lily had also broken out of the Horned Scorpion Tigers¡¯ encirclement under the protection of Kane and David. They were covered in blood and more or less injured. It was obvious that they had not had an easy time on the way. After a while, another adventurer riding a wind-chasing horse joined them. ¡°Where are the others?¡± ¡°Mike and Vivian¡­¡± The adventurer who had just arrived wanted to say something but stopped. It was obvious that the two people he had mentioned did not survive. Kane clenched his fists. ¡°These damn magical beasts, one day I will kill them all!¡± Lily also said, ¡°Kane, send 100 gold coins to their family when you go back. Take good care of their family!¡± ¡°I thank you on their behalf,¡± Kane said gratefully. ¡°They died protecting me. This is what I should do, and the only thing I can do.¡± After a while, a few more adventurers arrived. There were seven of them, including Lily and the others. ¡°What about the mage?¡± Kane asked. I saw Yuri protecting the mage. I wonder where they went?¡± Someone replied. ¡°Miss¡­¡± Kane turned to look at Lily for her opinion. ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer. He¡¯s an official mage. If we can rush out, he should be fine too.¡± Hearing this, everyone began to wait patiently. After a long time, everyone was about to lose their patience. Even Lily was wondering if Noah had met with an accident. Suddenly, the crisp sound of horse hooves came. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Noah¡¯s wind-chasing horse that was carrying him. Lily heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. Noah also saw the crowd. ¡°Good job, buddy. You didn¡¯t let me down.¡± Noah stroked the wind chasing foal beneath him. The wind-chasing horse seemed to understand Noah¡¯s words and neighed happily. A moment later, Noah pulled back the reins and stopped. ¡°Sir, are you alright?¡± Kane stepped forward and asked. Noah shook his head. The original wound on his body had miraculously healed without leaving a single mark. The only mark was probably his torn clothes. ¡°Where¡¯s Yuri? I heard he¡¯s with you,¡± Kane asked again. Hearing the name Yuri, Noah¡¯s heart tightened. This should be the name of the young adventurer who wanted to kill him. ¡°How should I explain this? They don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Noah began to gesture. However, no one understood what Noah meant. Lily seemed to have understood. ¡°You¡¯re saying that Yuri died under the poison of the Horned Scorpion Tigers?¡± Noah nodded. Upon hearing this news, the gloominess on everyone¡¯s faces increased by another notch. The people in the team were all partners who had been through life and death all year round. Although they were not blood-related, they were all like brothers and sisters. Now that they had lost three of them at once, everyone¡¯s heart felt extremely heavy. Kane and the others did not doubt the news. It was inevitable to be injured by such a large number of magical beasts, but Lily was suspicious. Noah¡¯s magic was stronger than hers. With Yuri, even if they could not kill the Horned Scorpion Tigers, they should be able to survive. Moreover, the speed of the wind-chasing horse was so fast that Horned Scorpion Tigers could not catch up. Although she had doubts, Lily did not pursue the matter. After all, Noah had saved their lives, so she was willing to believe Noah. Noah finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding due to communication problems, but everything went well and he was not suspected. In the end, the group successfully survived the siege of the Horned Scorpion Tigers at the cost of losing three adventurers. They did not dare to delay any longer and rushed toward Cozovo city without stopping. Finally, after two days, the group finally saw the city that they had been longing for¡­ Chapter 21 - Cozovo City Chapter 21 Cozovo City As far as the eye could see, an incomparably vast city appeared in their field of vision, surrounded by towering mountains that reached the clouds. All kinds of buildings in the city were scattered in the center. In the center was a towering steeple castle, and several towers stood around the castle. With the castle as the center, all kinds of buildings were distributed in rows and rows. The outermost layer of the city was a circular wall. Lily was excited to finally return to the city of Cozovo. She had almost not made it back from this trip. Seeing the familiar city again, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. An hour later, Noah and the others arrived at the city wall. The city wall in front of them was about 20 meters tall, and there was a huge iron gate in front of them. Four guards in iron armor and holding spears stood guard outside the iron gate. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Seeing Noah and the others approach, the four guards became vigilant and pointed their spears in the direction of Noah and the others. ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Lily rode her wind-chasing horse to the guard. Seeing Lily¡¯s face, the leading guard immediately knelt down on one knee. ¡°Miss!¡± The guard respectfully greeted. The rest of the guards also recognized Lily¡¯s identity and immediately knelt down. Noah had long guessed that Lily¡¯s identity was not simple. Seeing how the guard was so respectful to Lily and addressed her as ¡°Miss,¡± Noah probably just figured out Lily¡¯s identity. ¡°Open the gates.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± After the guards got up, they immediately opened the city gate. The group rode on the wind-chasing horses and slowly walked into the city of Cozovo. As soon as he entered the city, Noah could not help but let out a long sigh. He had finally returned to human society. After entering the city gate, they saw that the streets in front of them were filled with pedestrians and peddlers. It was a prosperous and peaceful scene. Noah looked at the people of this world curiously. He found that the clothes of these people were different from those on earth. Most of the men wore coarse cloth waistbands, a fur coat, a pair of horse pants, and some even wore hats. As for the women, most of them were similar to the men. They wore waistbands, one-piece dresses, hats, or headscarves. There was also a small group of people who were dressed in clothes that looked much more luxurious. They were dressed in clothes made of animal fur, and the cutting style was complicated. They looked extremely exquisite. There were also some who were dressed in long robes and cloaks, looking very mysterious. In short, there were all kinds of people at a glance. Under Lily¡¯s lead, the group quickly came to the center of the city, which was the castle that Noah saw from outside the city. Kane, take him to Hela hotel to rest. I¡¯m going to see father first. ¡°Yes, Miss.¡± Lily turned around and walked into the castle. ¡°Captain, we¡¯ll go back first,¡± David said. Kane nodded and then turned to look at Noah. ¡°Sir, please follow me!¡± Noah nodded slightly and followed Kane. Under Kane¡¯s lead, they walked toward the hotel. On the other side, an adventurer from Kane¡¯s team went to a manor in the city after saying goodbye to Noah and the others. ¡°Stop! You¡¯re not allowed to enter!¡± The guards of the manor stopped Frein Jenesse. ¡°I¡¯m here to look for young master. Please inform him,¡± Frein explained. Upon hearing this, the guard sized up Frein, then said coldly, ¡°You wait here, I¡¯ll go in and report.¡± After saying that, the guard walked into the manor. A moment later, the guard returned. ¡°Go on,¡± The guard said expressionlessly. Without saying a word, he walked into the manor. In a garden in the manor, a strong, elegant, and golden-haired young man was waving a long sword in his hand. The young man was very skilled with the long sword, and every time he waved it, there was a whistling sound. However, it could be seen that the young man¡¯s swordsmanship was not powerful, but it was beautiful. At this moment, Frein walked over. ¡°Young master, I have news about Lily to report to you,¡± Frein said respectfully. The young man stopped what he was doing and turned around. The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and calmly looked at Frein. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s the situation?¡± The young man¡¯s voice was full of magnetism and seemed to carry a natural sense of pride. Upon hearing the young man¡¯s question, Frein began to tell him about Lily. Ten minutes later, Frein finished his explanation. After listening to Frein¡¯s words, the young man lowered his head and muttered. ¡°Lily¡¯s desperate. How could there be dragon¡¯s breath grass on Corona Island? This news is obviously fake, and she still fell for it. It seems that the castellan¡¯s cold disease is quite serious,¡± The young man muttered. ¡°By the way, tell me about that strange man in the strange outfit.¡± Upon hearing this, Frein Jenesse told the young man about how they met Noah, as well as Lily¡¯s attitude toward Noah. When he found out from Frein that Noah was an official mage, the young man¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°Are you sure he¡¯s an official mage?¡± The young man confirmed again. ¡°That¡¯s right, young master. He¡¯s an official mage like you,¡± Frein replied. ¡°Interesting. An official mage actually appeared by your side so coincidentally¡­¡± The young man muttered to himself as if he was thinking about something. A moment later, the young man instructed, ¡°Continue to monitor him. Don¡¯t let him find out. Report to me immediately if there¡¯s anything. Also, report to me about his and Lili¡¯s movements. If he gets close to Lily, report to me as well, understand?¡± ¡°I understand. Lily can only be yours, young master.¡± The young man nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave, young master.¡± Frein prepared to leave. However, the young man stopped her. ¡°Wait a moment. My morning exercise isn¡¯t over yet. You stay here and accompany me!¡± As he spoke, the young man had already arrived behind Frein. Before Frein could react, the young man hugged her. His hands were on her breasts. ¡°Young master, if you want it, let¡¯s go back to the room. It¡¯s not good to stay here.¡± Frein said shyly, but her body had already begun to cater to the young man. ¡°You little slut, your body is already like this. You want it too, don¡¯t you?¡± The young man teased. ¡°Hmm.¡± Frein acknowledged softly. Then, the young man stripped Frein of all his clothes in the garden. A moment later, a soft gasp echoed in the garden¡­ Chapter 22 - Dr. Laura Chapter 22 Dr. Laura On Noah¡¯s side, he also arrived at the hotel under Kane¡¯s lead. Noah looked up, and the words ¡°Hela hotel¡± came into view. ¡°Sir, this is the best hotel in Cozovo city. Please rest here for a while. The young lady has gone to see the castellan. She should come to find you later.¡± Kane explained. Noah nodded and the two of them entered the hotel. As soon as he entered the hotel, Noah was shocked to see an owl standing on a shelf at the door. The amazing thing was that the owl kept turning its head 360 degree, just like the wing of a helicopter, and it kept muttering ¡°Welcome.¡± Seeing Noah¡¯s shock, Kane suppressed his smile and introduced, ¡°Sir, this is Dr. Laura from the hotel.¡± ¡°Dr. Laura?¡± Noah was extremely curious that an owl would have such a name. As if he saw Noah¡¯s curiosity, Kane continued to explain, ¡°Dr. Laura is not an ordinary owl. It is said that she was originally a magician, but she was cursed and turned into an owl. Of course, this was said by the hotel¡¯s owner. I don¡¯t know if it is true or not, but Dr. Laura not only can speak, but she is also very knowledgeable. Normally, she is the hotel¡¯s encyclopedia, and many times, she also divines adventurers. Unfortunately, Dr. Laura seems to be having a stroke today,¡± Kane spoke with fervor and assurance, and Noah listened with great interest. However, as soon as Kane¡¯s voice fell, Dr. Laura suddenly stopped turning her head and closed her mouth, as if she felt something. Dr. Laura looked at Noah with her big, bright eyes. The moment she saw Noah clearly, she suddenly became furious. ¡°A monster! A monster! A monster!¡± Dr. Laura screamed in fear. At the same time, a red light suddenly flashed in Laura¡¯s eyes, and she flew up and swooped down toward Noah. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The change was so fast that Noah and Kane did not react. Just as Laura was about to attack Noah, a voice stopped her. ¡°Dr. Laura!¡± A beautiful woman in a gray-brown dress walked out from the back of the hotel and stopped Dr. Laura in time. After hearing the woman¡¯s voice, Laura who had been going crazy instantly calmed down. ¡°Rhea, what¡¯s wrong with Dr. Laura today? Why did she suddenly have a stroke? She almost hurt our lady¡¯s guest,¡± Kane complained when he saw the owner of the hotel. Rhea Cooper looked embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong. Although Dr. Laura is abnormal sometimes, she has never attacked anyone. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with her today. You guys aren¡¯t hurt, are you?¡± Rhea Cooper asked softly. ¡°I¡¯m fine, but this sir has been disturbed. How do you think we should solve this?¡± Kane said in an unkind tone. This was actually a small matter, but it was an opportunity to show off in front of Noah. Hearing Kane¡¯s words, Rhea did not dare to let her guard down. This strange young man was Lily¡¯s guest, and Kane was so respectful to him. He must be someone she could not afford to offend. Fortunately, she did not do anything wrong. Therefore, Rhea said apologetically, ¡°Sir, I¡¯m sorry to have startled you due to my negligence. I sincerely apologize! I think you¡¯re here to stay. I¡¯ll waive off a month¡¯s rent for you. I hope you can forgive my mistake.¡± Kane was surprised. He had planned to ask Rhea to pay for the room for free, but he only thought that one week would do. After all, as the best hotel in the city, a night¡¯s stay cost five gold coins. That was almost a year¡¯s worth of expenses for the ordinary people in the city! He did not expect Rhea to be so generous. She waived Noah¡¯s room fee for a month, which was equivalent to giving Noah 150 gold coins! Noah did not know what this meant, but seeing how sincere Rhea was, he could not say much. He just nodded. Even if he wanted to say something, he could not. Language communication was a big problem, and he had to solve it as soon as possible. Seeing Noah nod, Rhea finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Sir, please follow me. I¡¯ll check in for you.¡± Then, under Rhea¡¯s lead, they quickly checked in, and Noah was also led to his room. As expected of the best hotel in Cozovo city, Noah was attracted by the furnishings in the room as soon as he entered. All the furniture was made of wood, and once they entered, they were greeted with the smell of nature. The furnishings in the room were extremely elegant. The bed in the room was made of some kind of animal¡¯s feather. It was very elastic when one sat on it, and when one lay on it, one felt relaxed both physically and mentally. The chairs in the room were also made of animal skin and looked extremely luxurious, similar to the sofas on earth. There was a small balcony outside the room, and outside the balcony was a Lake. Under the sunlight, it looked like a sapphire! Other than that, there was another room in the room that he didn¡¯t know what it was for. Noah had just set his eyes on the room when Rhea came up to explain¡­ Chapter 23 - Meditation Room Chapter 23 Meditation Room ¡°My Lord, this must be your first time coming to our Cozovo city.¡± Noah nodded. Rhea was not surprised and continued to explain, ¡°This room is a special feature of our hotel. It is a meditation room built by an official mage. In this room, the effect of meditation can be greatly improved. It is very effective for both apprentices and official mages. Even ordinary people can use the special magnetic field in the room to strengthen their physical fitness! Noah was just a little curious about the theory behind this room, but Kane wanted to go in and feel it when he heard what Rhea said. As the best hotel in Cozovo city, an ordinary room in the Hila hotel cost 5 gold coins a night, while Noah¡¯s room cost up to a magic stone a night. This was no longer a room that could be stayed with money. It could be said that this room was specially prepared for people with magical talent. After all, mages were the noblest existences in the world. Of course, if you were very powerful or an official knight, you could also live here. Unfortunately, Kane did not meet either of these conditions. That was why he was very envious of Noah. If he could stay in this meditation room for a few nights, he might really be able to advance to an official knight! ¡°Sir, I won¡¯t disturb you any longer. Call me if you need anything,¡± Rhea said respectfully. Noah smiled and nodded. Seeing Rhea leave, Kane was also very tactful. ¡°Sir, my mission is complete. I¡¯ll be going back now. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask.¡± Noah nodded slightly. In the past few days, Kane¡¯s carefree character was quite likable. After the two of them left, Noah was left alone in the room. He could not help but lie down on the soft bed. He could not even remember how long it had been since he last slept in the bed. Finally, he lay down on the familiar bed again. Noah¡¯s eyes could not help but become a little wet. After resting for a while, Noah sat up and took out the life core he took from Yuri. At this moment, the life core was emitting a faint white light, like a snowflake, but also like an ice crystal. It was still cold in his hand. Since he had time now, Noah planned to try to absorb the crystal. Hence, Noah walked into the meditation room with the life core. The meditation room was not very big, probably less than 20 square meters. The four walls were filled with runes that Noah could not understand. The moment Noah entered the room, the runes lit up like a river and finally gathered on a purple crystal floating in the middle of the room. As the crystal emitted a dazzling purple light, Noah instantly felt his thoughts become active. Noah was curious, but he still didn¡¯t know how to conduct a mage¡¯s meditation. He had only entered the room to avoid causing too much of a commotion when he was absorbing the crystals. Thus, Noah casually found a place to sit down and took out the life core of the Ice Python. ¡°How did you absorb it last time?¡± Noah recalled the scene of the last time he absorbed the crystal and subconsciously placed the crystal on his forehead. In an instant, the blood in Noah¡¯s body seemed to sense the existence of the crystal and began to boil. The crystal in his hand once again gushed out a stream of light and entered Noah¡¯s body. ¡°Huh!¡± Noah could not help but exhale. This time, he consciously felt the process of absorbing the crystal. As he absorbed the energy from the crystal, he felt that some desire in his body seemed to be supplemented. It felt like finding a water source in the desert. The energy in his body also increased a little as the light from the crystal was injected into him. However, the energy in his body seemed to have reached a bottleneck. No matter how much energy was poured into it, it only increased by a little. Then, the energy began to compress itself because it could not increase. Although the total amount did not increase, the quality of each energy became higher than before. As time passed, a wave of memories entered his mind. Unsurprisingly, it was the Ice Python¡¯s spell, but this time, there were two spells. Through the memory inheritance, Noah knew that one of the spells was the icicle that the Ice Python had used against them, and the other was a spell called frost breath. The power of the frost breath was much stronger than the icicles. It was the same as the magic he got from the giant wolf and giant bear. He could clearly sense that he could release these two spells with a thought, without the need to chant an incantation. Was he considered a mage or not? By right, he had mastered four types of magic, and judging from the reactions of Lily and the others, he was already a first-grade mage. However, he seemed to be different from the other mages. He could cast all four types of magic. To be honest, Noah was a little worried about his body¡¯s abnormality and whether he would be captured for research. However, it was useless to worry. He could only take one step at a time. As all the magic power in the crystal was absorbed, Noah also walked out of the meditation room. Through the window, he saw that the sky had already darkened. It was also at this moment that someone knocked on the door. Noah opened the door and saw Lily standing there. At this time, Lily had changed her clothes. She had taken off her light armor and changed into an extremely luxurious long dress. She looked less heroic but more gentle and beautiful. ¡°Follow me, I¡¯ll take you to see someone.¡± Lily went straight to the point and turned to go downstairs. Noah did not know what was going on, but he could only follow. After the two left the hotel, Lily explained the situation. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to see my teacher. He¡¯s a second-grade mage. He¡¯ll definitely be able to help you with the language problem.¡± Noah nodded silently. Under Lily¡¯s lead, the two came to a tower. ¡°This is my teacher¡¯s mage tower. In the city, only second-grade mages have the right to build a mage tower. Lily introduced with great anticipation. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± After that, Lily took out a spherical object and put it into the wall of the mage tower. Immediately after, a circular ripple that looked like a water wave suddenly appeared in front of him. The two of them passed through the wave and arrived inside the mage Tower. Looking at the wave-like door, Noah felt extremely novel. As expected of the magic world, even a door was so extraordinary. After entering the mage tower, Noah curiously observed his surroundings. The space in the tower was bigger than he had expected. The first floor where Noah and Lily were was was a room like a library, with countless shelves filled with books. In the middle of the library, there was a place that looked like a test bench. On it were tools that Noah had never seen before. Around the test bench were more than a dozen large jars soaked in green liquid, and inside the tubes were some biological specimens. For some reason, Noah was a little scared when he saw this scene. Was Lily¡¯s teacher really a mage? He was not a Frankenstein. ¡°Teacher, are you there? Lily¡¯s here to see you,¡± Lily called out. Suddenly, the door of one of the rooms opened, and an old man with a white beard, who was wearing a gray robe and a brown cloak, walked out. ¡°My dear Lily, you¡¯re here!¡± The old man was also very excited to see Lily. ¡°This is my teacher, Leon Flos.¡± Lily turned around and introduced her to Noah. Hearing this, Noah bowed slightly to Leon in a reserved manner. ¡°Lily, who is this?¡± ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve come to look for you today to ask for a favor.¡± Chapter 24 - The Second-grade Mage, Leon Flos Chapter 24 The Second-grade Mage, Leon Flos Lily then told Leon about Noah¡¯s situation. Leon was shocked when he heard Lily say that Noah could cast magic without chanting. Then, he looked at Noah in disbelief. ¡°Lily said that you don¡¯t need to chant to cast magic. Is that true?¡± Leon quickly walked to Noah and grabbed him. Leon¡¯s reaction gave Noah a shock, and he couldn¡¯t help but retreat. However, his hands were firmly held by Leon, and he couldn¡¯t move at all. After hesitating for a moment, Noah nodded. Leon still couldn¡¯t believe it was true after hearing Noah¡¯s response. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was too excited. You don¡¯t have to be nervous, I just want to confirm my guess. Can you demonstrate?¡± Leon realized that he had lost his composure, so he explained. ¡°Demonstration? In this place?¡± Noah looked around. If he released magic here, would he not blow up the mage tower? ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Come with me.¡± Then, Leon brought Noah and Lily to another empty room. This was a place similar to a shooting range. There were dozens of Dummies in front of Noah. Some of them were wearing armor, while others were like the skin of beasts. ¡°Let¡¯s try it here,¡± Leon said softly. Looking at Leon¡¯s expectant expression, Noah knew that he had to show off no matter what. He was actually worried that his unusual behavior would bring him trouble, but now it was already like this. He could only see hope in Leon¡¯s eyes and no malice. After thinking about it, Noah was no longer conflicted. He slowly raised his arm, and the next moment, the temperature in the room suddenly rose. Under Noah¡¯s control, a purple-black fireball the size of a head suddenly condensed. Noah only had one thought, and the fireball was shot at the dummy. ¡°Boom!¡± Following the sound of an explosion, a dummy wearing iron armor was pierced through alive. The iron armor even sizzled from corrosion. After casting the fireball, Noah turned to Leon, who had his eyes wide open and his fists clenched. His body seemed to be trembling with excitement. ¡°Companion magic! Companion magic! I, Leon, have lived for more than a hundred years, and I¡¯ve finally seen companion magic!¡± Hearing Leon¡¯s words, Noah was also very curious. ¡°Companion magic? What¡¯s that?¡± Didn¡¯t he get this fireball spell from that giant Wolf? ¡°Teacher, is it really companion magic?¡± Lily came over and asked. ¡°Tt can¡¯t be wrong. It¡¯s exactly the same as the books. You don¡¯t need to chant an incantation. You only need to think about it to cast a spell. The power of the spell will increase as the magician¡¯s strength increases!¡± Hearing her teacher¡¯s answer, Lily was even more curious. Who was Noah? He had an extremely rare companion spell and could not speak their language. All of this made Noah extremely mysterious. ¡°Teacher, do you have a way to solve his language barrier problem?¡± Lily asked. ¡°That¡¯s a small problem.¡± Leon then walked up to Noah. The ring on his finger flashed, and a staff appeared in his hand. Noah looked at the staff in Leon¡¯s hand. Compared to Lily¡¯s, it looked more textured. It was also black in color, but there were some vague and complicated patterns on Leon¡¯s staff. After taking out his staff, Leon began to chant an incantation. Noah only heard the words ¡°Isolde¡±. As the staff gently touched his head, a white light flashed and disappeared. ¡°Alright, you can try to speak now,¡± Leon said. ¡°Lily?¡± Noah tried to call Lily¡¯s name. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lily smiled. ¡°I can communicate with you guys now¡­¡± ¡°It seems so.¡± Leon also smiled. The problem that had been plaguing Noah was finally solved. ¡°Speaking of which, I still don¡¯t know your name. Can you tell me now?¡± Lily asked. ¡°I¡¯m Noah.¡± ¡°Noah,¡± Lily whispered. ¡°No matter what, we can finally communicate normally.¡± Lily smiled. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Leon,¡± Noah said to Leon gratefully. Leon shook his head, indicating that he did not need to worry about it. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so distant. If you don¡¯t mind, you can call me Teacher like Lily.¡± Hearing her teacher¡¯s words, Lily was a little surprised. ¡°Teacher, you¡­¡¯ ¡°I only have one student in my life. If you don¡¯t mind, I can be your teacher and teach you magic,¡± Leon asked Noah for his opinion sincerely. It was no wonder that Lily was surprised. It was rare for an official mage to take a disciple on his own initiative, and it was even rarer for a second-grade mage like Leon to take the initiative to do so. Even she was only able to become a student of Leon because of her talent and her father¡¯s status as the mayor of the city of Serbia. For an ordinary person to become an official disciple of a second-grade mage, it was harder than ascending to heaven. Not only did one have to be talented in magic, but they also had to go through many tests. They could not become an official disciple at the beginning. They had to start as an apprentice, and the duration was usually three to five years. During this time, they had to sketch at least four magic runes through meditation before they could become an official disciple. However, Leon directly made Noah his official disciple, and he even asked in a questioning tone. It could be seen how much Leon valued Noah! Hearing Leon¡¯s words, Noah began to think carefully. His understanding of this world was like a blank piece of paper, and he urgently needed to have a full understanding of it. Now that a second-grade mage was willing to be his guide, he could not only learn about this magic world through Leon, but he could also practice magic with him. Thinking about it, Noah no longer hesitated. ¡°Teacher!¡± Noah bent down and called out respectfully. ¡°Good! Good!¡± Leon also smiled when he heard Noah¡¯s address. It was his fortune to have a disciple who knew companion magic. From what he had learned from the ancient books, every mage who had mastered companion magic was at least a fifth-grade mage! That was a mage of the fifth rank! There was not a single fifth-grade mage in the entire southern islands, and there were not even any fourth-grade mages. They would only appear in middle-earth, but even in middle-earth, fifth-grade mages were at the top of the pyramid! His disciple had the potential to become such an existence. Unfortunately, the southern islands lacked resources, so it was difficult for Noah to become a fourth-grade mage. However, it was definitely not a problem for him to become a third-grade mage. third-grade mages were already very rare in the entire southern islands! Moreover, there was no guarantee that Noah would have the opportunity to go to middle-earth and become an even greater existence. As Noah¡¯s teacher, he would naturally be honored! Thinking of this, Leon was determined to train Noah well. When the time came, he would let that old bastard Dylan Brown see whose disciple was better. Just like that, Noah and Lily began to study magic under Leon. Noah finally had a basic understanding of the world through the books in the mage tower¡­ Chapter 25 - Magic Model Chapter 25 Magic Model After becoming Leon¡¯s disciple, Noah began to learn magic from Leon. Leon gave Noah a beginner meditation technique, and Noah learned that he could only become a true first-grade mage after drawing 8 complete magic will runes in his mind through meditation and mastering three level-one magic models. The so-called mind runes were some very complicated shapes or runes, which needed to be completely outlined in the mind. The outline of each rune took a lot of time, and according to the different talents, the time spent on the outline of these runes would also be different. Take Lily for example. It took her three days to draw the first rune, a week to draw the second one, and two years to complete the eight runes. This was already considered a natural talent. Those who were slightly less talented would spend several times more time. Some people might not even be able to draw the complete eight runes in their entire lives. The so-called magic model was the foundation of a magician¡¯s release of magic. A magician could only release the corresponding magic if they understood the principle of magic operation and successfully constructed the model! Noah had been transformed by Amelia Arveis, and the talent he showed shocked both Leon and Lily. In just a month, Noah had successfully completed the outline of eight mind runes. He only needed to construct three more level-one magic models before he could be awarded a mage robe and a first-grade mage badge to become an official mage! One day, Noah was learning how to build a level-one magic model when Lily came over. ¡°Noah, how¡¯s the construction of your magic model?¡± Lily asked curiously. She had seen Noah¡¯s progress. Not only did he know the accompanying magic, but he was also so talented. He only spent a month to complete what she had spent two years to complete. She really wondered if she was the genius that her teacher spoke of. She used to think she was a genius, but in front of Noah, her talent was not worth mentioning. ¡°Soon. I think I¡¯ll be able to construct my first magic model soon,¡± Noah put down the book in his hand and replied. ¡°As expected, I¡¯m very curious. How does your brain work? I¡¯ve only just constructed the first level-one magic model, and you¡¯ve already caught up to me!¡± Lily said helplessly. Since her last return, Lily had been working even harder on her magic training. It did not take long for her to successfully construct her first level-one magic model. She was only one step away from becoming an official first-grade mage. She was a little proud at first, but when she heard Noah¡¯s progress, Lily¡¯s mood sank. Compared to Noah, her little improvement was nothing. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged. The main thing is that drawing runes isn¡¯t that difficult, which is why I¡¯m so fast. Building the magic model is different. I feel a little tired. I only have some ideas after a week of studying.¡± Seeing that Lily was in a bad mood, Noah comforted her. ¡°Not that difficult?¡± Lily could tell that Noah was trying to comfort her, but was this how one consoled others? What did he mean by not that difficult? Noah did not know that his comfort had the opposite effect. Lily felt inexplicably irritated. She snorted and turned to leave. She would only be hurt if she looked at Noah again. ¡°Why are you suddenly angry?¡± Noah did not understand, but he did not take it to heart. He turned to look at the analysis of the magic model construction. Noah only put down the book when it was close to evening. I¡¯ll probably be able to try constructing the wind blade¡¯s magic model in a day or two. Noah stood up and shook his slightly swollen head. He then turned around and picked up another book. This was a biography, which recorded the life of a Holy Mage named Reynolds. It was also through this book that he learned about the equivalent divisions of mages. They were first-grade, second-grade, third-grade¡­ sixth-grade magician, Holy Mage, and the Legendary God of Magic! The higher the level of a mage, the more powerful the spells they could master. In the biography, it was mentioned that the Holy Mage Reynolds was a god-like existence. Legend had it that he could make stars fall and the earth sink. He could travel in space and control the flow of time. What was even more exaggerated was that he had a long life of 100000 years. When he read this, Noah was already dumbfounded. This was no longer a human, but a real God! If he could become such an existence, he should be able to return to Earth. Through this biography, Noah also had a general understanding of the world¡¯s structure. It turned out that the world he lived in was called the miracle continent, which was mainly composed of five major continents: the extreme cold continent in the North, the lost continent in the South, the forest of fairies in the West, the endless yellow sand in the East, and the middle-earth. Each continent was vast and boundless, equivalent to the entire Earth¡¯s land area combined. An ordinary person would not be able to cover all of them in their lifetime, and even low-level mages might have to spend their entire lives to cover one of the continents. The place where fate was located did not belong to any of the five continents. Instead, it was in the southernmost part of the miracle continent, the southern islands in the starfall sea. From the biography, he also learned that there were not only humans in this world, but also the magical beasts he had seen before, the barbarians in the land of extreme cold, the elves, and the legendary dragons¡­ Many races lived together in this magnificent world. However, what made Noah curious was that he did not find the paradise that Amelia Arveis had mentioned even after repeatedly reading the biography. He had even asked Leon about it, but Leon had never heard of this place. This made Noah suspicious. Could it be that Amelia remembered the wrong place? This was related to whether or not he could complete the contract with Amelia. He did not like to owe others favors, so since Amelia had asked him to leave that damned place, he naturally would not go against the contents of the contract. Furthermore, he had made an oath, and he had a faint feeling that the oath was not just for show. Just as Noah was thinking, Leon¡¯s voice suddenly sounded from the mage tower. ¡°Noah, Lily, come to the lab!¡± He said. Noah put down the book and walked toward the laboratory. When Noah arrived at the laboratory, Lily was already inside. ¡°Everyone¡¯s here, I have something to announce,¡± Leon said in a low voice. Chapter 26 - The Gathering of Young Mages Chapter 26 The Gathering of Young Mages ¡°The once-in-a-decade Mage Youth Conference is about to begin. I hope you can participate.¡± ¡°Teacher, are you talking about the young mages exchange meeting organized by the Guild of Magic?¡± Lily asked in surprise. Apparently, she knew something. Noah, on the other hand, was completely confused. He had no idea what Leon was talking about. Leon also saw Noah¡¯s doubts, so he patiently explained. Noah finally understood what this so-called exchange was. The place where Noah was located was called the southern islands. There were a total of 108 islands and tens of thousands of cities similar to Cozovo city. The largest force in the southern islands was called the Guild of Magic, which was composed of the top mages in the entire southern islands. Every ten years, the Guild of Magic would hold an exchange meeting for young mages to select talented young mages to study at the Guild of Magic. Every time this happened, all the mages in the southern islands would rush to participate in the exchange. The Guild of Magic represented the southern islands ¡®most abundant resources, the most advanced magic mysteries, and the highest reputation and status! Countless mages took pride in being able to join the Guild of Magic, and as the top force, it naturally had high requirements for the members of the guild. Only the most talented mages were qualified to enter the guild. The Mage Youth Conference was thus born. Through Leon¡¯s introduction, Noah also understood the general process. If they were to participate in a job, they would have to go through a selection in Cosovo city. Only those who won in Cosovo city would be qualified to represent Cosovo city in the selection on Corona Island. Only those who won the selection on Corona Island were qualified to participate in the young mage exchange meet. After hearing Leon¡¯s introduction, Noah also understood the value of this young mage exchange meet. It could be said that it was one in a million! ¡°Teacher, Noah and I aren¡¯t even first-grade mages. Are we really qualified to participate in the selection?¡± Lily asked. ¡°Since I¡¯m informing you, it¡¯s naturally because I have confidence in you. The selection in our Cozovo city will be held in a month¡¯s time. All of you have already started constructing the magic model. With your talents, you will definitely be able to become official mages in a month¡¯s time. There will be no problem. ¡°The only question now is, are you willing, or do you dare to compete with tens of thousands of young mages?¡± Leon squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice. He did not even try to hide the provocation in his tone. Both Lily and Noah were young and vigorous, so how could they stand such provocation? ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s one more thing. The dragon¡¯s breath grass seems to be among the top few prizes in this exchange.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lily¡¯s eyes widened and she cried out in excitement. ¡°Teacher, are you telling the truth?¡± Lily confirmed that she had risked her life to find the dragon¡¯s breath grass to treat her father¡¯s cold. In the end, she had almost lost her life. How could she not be excited when he heard about the dragon¡¯s breath grass? ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve decided. I want to participate!¡± Lily said decisively. ¡°Noah, what about you?¡± Leon looked at Noah again. For Noah, he was extremely eager to have a more comprehensive understanding of the world and find a way to go home! He might even be able to find the blissful land that Amelia had mentioned in the Guild of Magic. Although this world was extremely magical, Noah never gave up on the idea of returning to Earth. He still had his family on earth, and he had been gone for so long. He did not know how anxious his family would be. ¡°I¡¯ll participate!¡± Noah raised his head and said. Leon smiled in satisfaction. very good, you all did not disappoint me. The selection in Cozovo city will be held in a month¡¯s time. During this month, I will give you all special training. If you have any questions regarding magic training, you can come and ask me. ¡°Yes, teacher,¡± Hence, Lily and Noah began a month of magic training. In the morning, Leon taught the two how to better meditate, mainly training their elemental perception. In the afternoon, he taught them how to control their mana more and accurately, and how to control the trajectory power of magic with less mana. Of course, Lily and Noah had not become official mages yet, so their magic training was mainly level-zero magic. In the evening, he explained the situation of the two mage towers outside of Cozovo city to the two of them, so that they knew each other. There were a total of three mage towers in Cozovo city. Other than Leon, there were two second-grade mages, Dylan Brown and Charlie Wright. Among them, Dylan Brown was the one mage Leon could not deal with the most, which might be related to their magic attributes. Leon¡¯s affinity with the fire element was the highest, so he majored in fire magic. This could also be seen from Lily. Dylan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He had the highest affinity with the water element and was a second-grade mage who majored in water magic. The two of them would get into a conflict the moment they met, and they both disliked each other. The two of them had been at loggerheads for many years, but they were both second-grade mages. Although they had some restraints in terms of magic attributes, when they really fought, they could not do anything to each other. Thus, the competition between the two later evolved into various kinds of comparisons. They were competing to see who had more treasures, what research they had done, whose students were more outstanding, and whose mage tower was higher! Leon had never been convinced in any other way, except when it came to taking in disciples. He had only one student, Lily. Although she was also excellent, Dylan had taken in ten very talented students. Fortunately, Noah¡¯s appearance gave Leon hope. With Noah and Lily, Dylan¡¯s disciples would not be able to beat him no matter how many they had! On the third day of the special training, Noah finally successfully constructed his first level-one magic model, wind blade. Chapter 27 - Experimental Magic Chapter 27 Experimental Magic After constructing the magic model of the wind blade in the shooting range in the mage tower, Noah could not wait to test the power of this magic. ¡°Great wind elf, listen to my call and dance freely. Wind blade!¡± As Noah finished chanting, the magic in his body surged. A one-meter-long wind blade condensed in the air. The wind blade was invisible and colorless, and it was extremely fast. It could easily catch the enemy off guard. ¡°Go!¡± Noah aimed at the Ironman and released a wind blade. ¡°Clang!¡± The iron armor on the dummy shattered. Seeing the power of this wind blade, Noah nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, a round of applause could be heard. ¡°Teacher?¡± Noah turned around and saw Leon standing behind him. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen your talent before. Lily is already very talented, but she¡¯s still not as good as you. It¡¯s only been a few days, and you¡¯ve already successfully constructed the first magic model. Back then, it took me nearly two months to construct the first magic model!¡± Leon praised. ¡°What¡¯s more, the wind blade you cast without the staff is already as powerful as a level-one spell cast with the staff. If you have a staff that suits you, the power can be increased by at least ten percent,¡± Leon continued. At the mention of the staff, Noah suddenly became interested. ¡°Teacher, I see that you and Lily both have their own staff. I want to have my own staff too.¡± ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t be embarrassed. Even if you didn¡¯t say it, I was going to tell you. By right, as my student, I should give you a staff. Lily¡¯s staff was given to her by me. But after thinking about it, I should let you understand that there is a price to pay.¡± Noah did not quite understand what Leon meant. Leon then explained, ¡°You should get your staff by yourself!¡± ¡°Teacher, please stop with the riddles. Can you just tell me what to do?¡± Noah asked anxiously. ¡°I want you to try making your own magic staff. It¡¯s actually not difficult to make a magic staff. With your talent and your current mana, you can definitely make a good basic magic staff for yourself. You just need to obtain the materials to make a magic staff. This can be considered a test for you,¡± Leon said unhurriedly. Then, Leon told Noah how to make a staff. First of all, he needed to obtain the raw materials needed to make a magic staff, the core of the Crying Tree Demon, and its trunk. Next, he needed to learn how to inject his own spiritual imprint into the magic staff, and learn how to bless the staff! After that, he would be able to get a staff of his own. ¡°Teacher, Where can I find the Crying Tree Demon¡¯s trunk and core?¡± Noah asked hurriedly. ¡°This is what I came here to tell you. There is a Crying Forest 50 kilometers away from Cozovo city, where the Crying Tree Demons grow. However, it is not easy to obtain the tree heart and trunk. Each Crying Tree Demon is equivalent to a first-grade mage. You should have no problem dealing with one of them, but the difficult part is that you may be surrounded by several or even more than a dozen crying dryads at the same time. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger. ¡°This will be a test for you, but you¡¯ve mastered a fire-element companion spell. In terms of magic power, your companion spell is almost at the level of a second-grade spell. As long as you¡¯re careful, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem,¡± Leon added. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ve decided to go to the Crying Forest to obtain its core and trunk.¡± Noah decided. Although this world was incomparably beautiful, it also contained endless dangers at the same time. All this time, he had been closing his doors and working on something, but he was still a flower in a greenhouse. He needed some risks and tests to better adapt to this world. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve decided, I¡¯ll support you.¡± Leon then handed a scroll to Noah. ¡°This is a magic scroll. There is a level-two magic stored inside. It can help you overcome your difficulties at a critical moment. There is also a map of the wailing forest. You can head there once you are ready. I will be waiting for your good news.¡± After saying that, Leon explained a few more things to take note of and turned to leave. The next day, Noah was dressed in a hunting suit. Under Leon¡¯s instructions, Noah left Cozovo city and set out for the Crying Forest. At the same time, Frein came to the manor in the city again and reported Noah¡¯s whereabouts to the young master. Not long after Noah left the city, five men in tight clothes also set off from the manor in Noah¡¯s direction. The Crying Forest was shrouded in a thick fog all year round. The twisted trees looked like ghastly shadows under the cover of the fog. From time to time, creepy wails could be heard in the forest. That was how the Crying Forest got its name. After half a day¡¯s journey, Noah finally arrived at the edge of the Crying Forest. ¡°This should be the Crying Forest.¡± Noah took out the map again to confirm. After confirming that there was no mistake, he put away the map and carefully walked into the Crying Forest. The thick fog caused the visibility in the forest to be extremely low. Noah could only see about five meters in front of him. According to the map, the Crying Tree Demons grew in the deepest part of the forest, while the trees on the periphery were just ordinary trees. It was normal, but Noah did not think so. These crooked trees looked extremely terrifying, and as he went deeper, Noah had a very strange feeling. He always felt like someone was watching him, which made him feel uncomfortable. As he walked, Noah came to a swamp area. To his surprise, there was a lotus-like plant growing in the swamp. The petals of this plant were light pink and looked very beautiful. At the same time, the pistil was also emitting wisps of purple smoke. Noah was extremely curious that such beautiful flowers could grow in the swamp. He seemed to have seen this flower in a book before. ¡°What was it called?¡± Looking at the smoke, Noah just could not remember. Suddenly, a few wisps of smoke drifted in front of him, and a refreshing fragrance entered his nose. When the smoke entered his body, Noah instantly felt his limbs go soft, and the scene in front of him became a little blurry. Chapter 28 - The Crying Tree Demon and Raven Chapter 28 The Crying Tree Demon and Raven ¡°I remember now.¡± At this moment, Noah remembered that this was a plant called the Demonic Swamp he had seen in the Encyclopedia of this world. Unlike its name, the Demonic Swamp had a deceptive appearance. It was very beautiful, but under its beautiful appearance, there was a fatal threat. If an ordinary person took a small breath of its smoke, they would be unconscious for three days and three nights. In serious cases, it could even directly affect the nerves, causing hallucinations, or even insanity. ¡°What should I do?¡± Noah instantly became nervous. If he were to pass out here, by the time he woke up, he would have already been swallowed by the magical beasts in the forest. Unexpectedly, Noah only felt a moment of weakness in his limbs. Just as the smoke was about to spread through Noah¡¯s blood, Noah¡¯s blood emitted a faint seven-colored light, and the smoke that entered his body disappeared without a trace. Noah slowly stood up and checked his body in surprise. There were no major problems. ¡°The Demonic Swamp¡¯s poison doesn¡¯t seem to have any effect on me.¡± It was like the last time when the poison on Yuri¡¯s sword invaded his body, but then his body recovered on its own. ¡°I seem to be immune to these toxins now.¡± Noah guessed. No matter what, it was a blessing in a misfortune. Sure enough, this world was full of danger. Next time, when he encountered unfamiliar creatures, he must not get too close. Leaving the swamp, Noah continued to move toward the forest. As he went deeper, the fog around him became thicker, and Noah¡¯s visibility was also greatly reduced. He could only see two to three meters behind him. Suddenly, a woman¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°Help! Please save me!¡± The sound came from about 50 meters in front of Noah. Noah became alert the moment he heard the sound. It was a young woman¡¯s voice. However, it was strange to hear a woman¡¯s cry for help in such a place. ¡°But what if someone is really in danger?¡± After thinking for a moment, Noah decided to go and take a look. It was not his style to leave people in the lurch. Noah carefully walked towards the source of the sound. Every step was extremely cautious, and his mind was highly focused, constantly paying attention to his surroundings. It was worth mentioning that when he had meditated and formed eight mind runes, his spiritual perception could already sense the situation within a 200-meter radius. However, in the crying forest, his spiritual perception seemed to have been compressed. He could only sense the situation within a twenty-meter radius at most. The sound was getting closer and closer. After passing through a thorny bush that was half the height of a person, the woman¡¯s voice was already close at hand. However, Noah did not rush forward. He wanted to observe first. The woman¡¯s voice was heard again. Noah followed the voice and realized that it was not a woman. The voice that sounded like a young girl¡¯s was actually from a black bird. ¡°Help! Help!¡± After some observation, the black bird seemed to be called a Raven, which symbolized bad luck and death. Suddenly, the big tree under the Raven moved. The big tree twisted its body as if it was stretching. This big tree was also crooked, but it was taller than the other trees around it, and its branches and leaves were more luxuriant. Suddenly, the tree began to shake, and then it made a gurgling sound, like an old man coughing. Then, the tree turned its body 360 degrees as if it was observing its surroundings. After turning one round, it did not find anything. The tree shook its leaves in disappointment. However, Noah, who was not far away, could clearly see that when the tree turned in his direction, a wrinkly and extremely gloomy face grew on most of the trunk. If he was not surprised, this was the Crying Tree Demon he was looking for! ¡°I got it without any effort!¡± Noah carefully observed the tree demon in front of him. He found that there were no other creatures on the Crying Tree Demon except for the Raven. The Raven and the Crying Tree Demon seemed to be one, and the two seemed to be in a symbiotic relationship. After a period of observation, Noah found that the Raven could not only imitate human voices, but also make dozens of different sounds. It seemed to use this to attract the surrounding creatures to the Crying Tree Demon and then become its food! However, Noah observed for a long time. Other than him, no other creatures were attracted. ¡°It seems that their cooperation isn¡¯t that great.¡± Noah muttered. Suddenly, Noah realized that it was possible that the living creatures around had almost been killed by the Crying Tree Demon! If that was the case, this Crying Tree Demon might be very difficult to deal with. However, Leon had told him that he would be in great danger if he was targeted by multiple Crying Tree Demons. Moreoeve, in front of him, it was obviously an independent Crying Tree Demon, which was a good opportunity for him. Moreover, the Crying Tree Demon had not discovered her yet. If he secretly shot a fireball at it, he might be able to destroy it! After thinking about it, Noah no longer hesitated. He aimed at the Crying Tree Demon and began to form a corrosive fireball. The fireball he inherited from the giant wolf had a certain corrosive effect, Noah simply named it the corrosive fireball. The fire elements around Noah began to condense quickly. He could not figure out the strength of the tree demon, Noah urged the magic power in his body with all his might without holding back. With a whoosh, the fireball was set off. Just as the fireball was about to hit the Crying Tree Demon, the Raven suddenly cried out, as if to remind the Crying Tree Demon. Chapter 29 - Materials Chapter 29 Materials ¡°I¡¯ve been discovered!¡± The Crying Tree Demon also reacted. Looking at the incoming fireball, the tree monster controlled its branches to quickly form a barrier in front of it. At the same time, a sharp sound came out of the tree demon¡¯s mouth. At this moment, Noah also understood why it was called the Crying Tree Demon. The tree demon¡¯s cries instantly resounded through the forest. The sinister cries made Noah¡¯s hair stand on end, and when the sound entered his mind, he could even feel a burst of pain. Even Noah¡¯s fireballs seemed to have been affected by the sound waves and shrunk. Then, the fireball hit the barrier erected by the tree demon. In an instant, the barrier made of countless branches was penetrated. Seeing this, the tree demon¡¯s wrinkled face showed a look of horror. The next moment, the fireball hit the trunk of the tree demon, and the corrosive flames quickly spread. The tree demon let out an ear-piercing cry again. In less than a minute, the tree demon¡¯s body was surrounded by a demonic purple-black Flame. The tree demon twisted its body crazily in the flame, and its gloomy old face looked even more terrifying under the contrast of the flame. Noah did not expect his fireball to be so effective. He thought that the tree demon would be difficult to deal with, but one fireball seemed to be enough. However, just in case, Noah cast another corrosive fireball. With this attack, the tree demon lost all signs of life. It did not take long for the tree demon to stop moving. As for the Raven, it had already disappeared when the first fireball hit the tree demon. The flames burned for a while before slowly stopping under Noah¡¯s control. Noah walked in front of the tree demon and looked at the burnt tree demon. Noah scratched his head in embarrassment. Just now, he had been worried that he would not be a match for the tree demon, so he had released magic with all his might. Who would have thought that the tree demon would be so weak? It could not even withstand a single fireball. Not only did it fail to resist, but its entire body was also burned by the flames. ¡°Is a burnt trunk still useful?¡± Noah muttered to himself. ¡°It should be useless if I¡¯m not wrong. ¡°Right, there¡¯s also the core.¡± Although the trunk was useless, he still had the core. According to normal circumstances, the tree heart should be born in the body of the tree demon. Then, Noah used a wind blade technique to cut the trunk of the tree demon, and the trunk split open. A green light appeared in Noah¡¯s field of vision. Noah stepped forward and pushed aside the broken branches. A diamond-shaped crystal was lying on the ground, emitting a green fluorescent light. ¡°This should be the core of the tree.¡± Noah heaved a sigh of relief. The core was not damaged. Otherwise, he would have wasted so much effort. Unfortunately, the trunk of the tree demon was useless, so he could only find another tree demon. However, just as Noah¡¯s thoughts fell, he felt the earth begin to tremble inexplicably. ¡°An earthquake?¡± Noah did not know what was going on and looked around. In less than half a minute, a few tall figures darted out of the forest. Noah fixed his eyes on them and saw that they were actually a few Crying Tree Demons running toward him. However, they were different from the tree demon he had destroyed. These tree demons could walk like humans, and they were unusually fast. Furthermore, these tree demons were even taller than the one he had destroyed! It was as if many giants were charging at him, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling! Only then did Noah react. The tree demon¡¯s cry just now was not only a means of attack, but also a way to transmit information. These tree demons must have received the message and rushed over. Noah counted. There were seven Crying Tree Demons surrounding him and closing in on him. Some of the tree demons were already waving their branches at Noah. Seeing this, Noah immediately cast a spell, and several wind blades were activated, cutting off the attacking vines. However, Noah did not look happy. He could not be surrounded by them, he had to run! Noah turned and ran. The tree demon behind him was in hot pursuit, but fortunately, it was not as fast as Noah. While running away, Noah was thinking about what to do. He still had enough magic power, and with the power of the corrosive fireball, he was confident in dealing with any one of the tree demons. However, facing seven at the same time, he could only attack one, so he could not fight them head-on. It was a pity that he did not know any group attack spells. That was something that could only be mastered by a second-grade mage. He was not even a first-grade mage. The only AoE magic that could deal damage was probably the icicles, the frost breath, and the corrosive fireballs. ¡°There it is!¡± Noah suddenly thought of a way. ¡°I don¡¯t have any AoE spells, but I can make use of the terrain!¡± Therefore, Noah ran back the way he came, only hoping that the way he thought of would work! Soon, Noah returned to the swamp with the seven tree demons. After crossing the swamp, Noah hid in the grass. After a while, the seven tree demons also arrived at the swamp. However, Noah suddenly disappeared, and the seven tree demons began to search. ¡°Now!¡± When the seven tree demons were close to the swamp, Noah jumped out and instantly released a frost breath. A cold air swept around, and the seven tree demons became slow under the influence of this cold air, as if in slow motion. However, because the range of the release was too wide, it did not cause any substantial damage to them. However, Noah did not expect the frost breath to cause any damage. It was enough as long as it restricted the movements of the tree demon. Then, he gathered fireballs again without holding back. This time, three fireballs were formed. Although each one wasn¡¯t as powerful as the one Noah had gathered, the number was up. ¡°Go!¡± The fireball was shot out with a whoosh. However, it was not aimed at the tree demon, but at the swamp in front of him. The moment the fireballs hit the swamp, the miasma in the swamp was instantly ignited by the three fireballs. After a series of sizzling sounds, the poisonous gas in the entire swamp pool instantly exploded. In an instant, the flames soared to the sky and the raging flames instantly swallowed the seven tree demons. Screams rose and fell one after another. It was extremely terrifying. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Noah quickly added a few icicles and let the tree demons experience what it meant to be in a world of ice and fire! As they struggled, some tree demons seemed to want to die with Noah, and countless vines instantly attacked Noah. ¡°Ground guardian!¡± The spell he inherited from the giant bear was finally used. A rock armor suddenly condensed on Noah¡¯s body, and the vine hitting Noah¡¯s body was like a tickle. Ten minutes later, the seven tree demons lost all signs of life in the fire. Noah let out a sigh of relief and looked happy. However, what came after was worry. He hoped that there were still useful trunks among these tree demons! Fortunately, the Goddess of Luck was on Noah¡¯s side this time. Among the seven dead tree demons, Noah found two or three tree demons with relatively intact trunks. Using the wind blade technique, he took down the most complete pieces and dug out the tree hearts of all the tree demons. ¡°Phew, I¡¯ve finally gotten all the materials!¡± Noah let out a long sigh. At this time, the sky had already darkened. Without any hesitation, Noah prepared to return, but suddenly, five unfamiliar men appeared in front of him. Chapter 30 - A Lesson Chapter 30 A Lesson ¡°We¡¯ve finally found you. You actually came to the crying forest. We¡¯ve been looking for you for a long time!¡± The man in the lead complained. ¡°Who are you guys?¡± Noah asked cautiously, his body ready to fight back at any time. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who we are. We¡¯re just here to teach you a lesson!¡± The man in the lead said disdainfully when he saw Noah¡¯s appearance. ¡°Teach me a lesson?¡± Noah was puzzled. Who had he offended this time? ¡°There¡¯s no need to think about it. I can only tell you that you¡¯ve gotten close to someone you shouldn¡¯t have.¡± The man reminded. ¡°Someone you shouldn¡¯t get close to?¡± Noah was getting more and more confused. Who did he get close to? The one he came into contact with the most in Cozovo city was none other than Lily. ¡°Lily?¡± Noah realized the problem. ¡°It seems that you¡¯re not too slow,¡± The man in the lead said with a smile. ¡°Boss, don¡¯t talk nonsense with him. It¡¯s getting dark. Hurry up and pack up for him. I have a date with a little girl tonight.¡± Another man behind him said impatiently. The man in the lead ignored him and looked at Noah. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± After saying that, a red magic array started to form in front of the man. ¡°Blazing fire elements, listen to my call for my use. Condense, fire arrow!¡± An arrow formed from flames shot toward Noah. Seeing that the other party was actually a mage, Noah was a little surprised. Looking at the power, the other party should already be an official mage. ¡°Who would send an official mage as a fighter just to teach me a lesson?¡± He asked. While thinking, Noah also gave a response. A wind blade was released, and the instant it collided with the fire arrow, it produced a violent energy impact. Suddenly, Noah saw the four people behind the man who released the magic approaching him at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of him. ¡°Whirlwind slash!¡± ¡°War roar!¡± ¡°Wind strike!¡± Three angry voices sounded at the same time beside Noah. A man with a longsword in his hand spun his body and attacked Noah. Before the blade even got close, Noah could feel the sharpness of the longsword. Noah was just about to dodge when he heard an angry roar. Noah was instantly stunned. At the same time, a man holding a dagger behind him stabbed over. ¡°Is this to teach him a lesson? This is clearly a fatal blow!¡± When he came back to his senses, Noah could no longer avoid it. At the critical moment, a rock armor formed on Noah¡¯s body. The swords and daggers hit the rock armor. With a clang, the rock armor blocked this round of attacks. Noah did not hesitate and quickly finished his incantation. A wind blade forced the man with the longsword in front of him back. He then turned around and released a wind blade at the man with the dagger. The two wind blades forced the two of them back dozens of meters. Noah had just heaved a sigh of relief when an arrow was shot at him from an extremely tricky angle. The target was his head. Noah reacted extremely quickly and dodged the arrow. This scene made the man with the bow in the tree in the distance look surprised. Their attack could be said to be seamless. They thought that their young master was making a mountain out of a molehill by sending five people, but they did not expect Noah to perfectly resolve their attack. His reaction was so fast that it was beyond their expectations. The man who released the rocket was surprised that Noah knew two different elemental spells. The wind blade of the wind element and the rock armor of the earth element. Noah was actually a dual-elemental mage! Most mages could only communicate with one element, but there were always special existences that could communicate with many elements and use the corresponding magic. However, these existences were extremely rare, and they did not expect to encounter them! Noah also took the opportunity to see the situation clearly. Among the five people, only one was a mage, and the others used the same physical attack methods as Kane. However, whether it was the man with the longsword or the man with the dagger, their strength seemed to be similar to Kane and David. This kind of existence could already lead an adventurer team by himself, but they were all sent out just to teach him a lesson! Noah¡¯s mind turned quickly as he thought of a way to break out of this situation. A moment later, Noah had already made a decision to break them one by one! He could not handle the five people together, so he had to get rid of one first! At that moment, the five of them launched a new round of attacks. The magician in the distance released a fireball, and the other four took the opportunity to attack. Chapter 31 - Noah Adams Strength Chapter 31 Noah Adams¡¯ Strength Noah looked around and made a decision in his heart. Noah did not retreat. Instead, he charged toward the man with the long sword. The man with the longsword was dumbfounded. In the face of their attack, he did not dodge and instead rushed towards them. ¡°You¡¯ve got guts!¡± The man with the long sword shouted angrily and swung the long sword in his hand heavily. A mage actually dared to approach a knight. Although he was not an official knight yet, he was not far from it. His physical fitness was not something a mage could compare to! Just as the longsword was about to hit Noah¡¯s head, Noah fell to the side in an extremely strange posture, and the longsword hit nothing. Noah¡¯s figure was like a ghost, and in another flash, he appeared in front of the man with the longsword. The man was shocked. He did not expect a mage could react so quickly. ¡°What is he trying to do?¡± Just as the man was puzzled, Noah punched him. ¡°Are you crazy? You¡¯re going to fight me with your bare hands?¡± The man¡¯s heart was full of disdain. He had been shocked by Noah¡¯s actions, but it seemed that he was just an idiot. A mage that wanted to fight with someone who was as strong as an official knight with just bare hands. However, the next second, his expression froze. A sharp pain came from his lower abdomen, and he fell to the ground in an instant. ¡°How can he be so powerful?¡± The man with the longsword could not understand how he could not withstand a punch from a mage. This scene stunned the others. ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the target was a mage? A mage actually knocked out an existence that was about to become an official knight in close combat!¡± No one would believe that a mage was more powerful than a knight if they had a safe distance to cast their spells. Once they got close, mages were no different from ordinary people. ¡°What the hell? He¡¯s been knocked down by a mage at close range.¡± Everyone was extremely bewildered. Seeing the stunned people around him, Noah smiled. ¡°It seems that you can¡¯t teach me a lesson!¡± Hearing Noah¡¯s provocative words, their expressions darkened. Originally, it was already disgraceful for five people to fight against a single person. Even with the five of them working together, the other party had still defeated one person. If word of this got out, they would lose all of the respects. ¡°Boss, let¡¯s kill him. He¡¯s too arrogant!¡± The man with the dagger suggested. The leader shook his head. ¡°He¡¯s already a student of Mr. Leon. Besides, the young master only asked us to teach him a lesson. Don¡¯t show any mercy.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the fire element around the man began to gather wildly. ¡°Blazing fire elements, listen to my call. Turn the earth before me into scorched earth, Flame Invasion!¡± A gale suddenly swept up in the surroundings. However, this gale carried scorching fire elements, and the places that the gale swept past instantly ignited into flames. The other three also used their strongest moves. ¡°Wind piercing strike!¡± ¡°Brutal charge!¡± ¡°Cross slash!¡± The four attacks came from different directions. Noah¡¯s expression remained the same. I¡¯ll use you to test the power of the magic I got from the ice Python. ¡°Frost breath!¡± As soon as the three players approached Noah, they were frozen by the frost. The strong wind would also turn into a pile of ice crystals and dust, scattering all over the sky. ¡°What?¡± This time, everyone could no longer remain calm. ¡°Ice?!¡± The leader of this group, the man who used magic, was shocked beyond words. They were all stunned. Noah was paying full attention to the changes on the battlefield. Seeing how effective the frost breath was, Noah decisively chose a target. It was the man with the dagger. He was the fastest in this group. He had to finish him off first to avoid being disturbed later in the battle. Just like how he dealt with the man with the longsword, Noah rushed over. The man with the dagger saw this and wanted to dodge, but his body was frozen, and he could not move. In the next second, Noah¡¯s fist directly smashed into his face. The man felt as if his face had been deformed. A huge force came through and sent him flying. Then, Noah observed his surroundings and found that the freezing effect of the frost was still there. Therefore, without any hesitation, Noah turned around and rushed to another person. Then the second, the third, and in the blink of an eye, all three people were on the ground, and Noah only used one punch. Noya was also starting to doubt if she was a mage or not. Why did she like the feeling of being hit by a fist so much? He originally just wanted to test how his physical fitness was compared to this group of people, but after taking down the man with the longsword with one punch, Noah seemed to be addicted to it. He chose to use his fist to take down the people behind him. He had to admit that this feeling was really good! At this moment, a blazing fireball came from behind Noah, and he slowly turned around. ¡°Icicle!¡± An incomparably huge icicle pierced through the incoming fireball. The mage in the distance was completely stunned and at a loss. ¡°What kind of monster did young master ask us kill? How could a mage¡¯s physical fitness be so abnormal? A Tri-elemental mage?¡± Just as the man was in shock, Noah had unknowingly walked to his side. ¡°No matter who sent you here, please tell them that I can get close to whoever I want!¡± After saying that, Noah walked past the man who was already in a daze. These people did not kill him, so he naturally would not kill them. Noah returned to Cozovo city with the materials he had obtained. Chapter 32 - Staff Making Chapter 32 Staff Making In the mage tower of Leon in Cozovo city. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m back!¡± Noah shouted excitedly. He could finally start forging a wand that belonged to him! ¡°Teacher?¡± Noah called out a few times, but no one responded. At this moment, Lily walked out of the meditation room. The meditation room in the mage tower was also dedicated to meditation. It was similar to the room in the Hela hotel, but the difference was that this room was built by Leon himself, so it was more helpful for meditation. ¡°Lili, have you seen the teacher?¡± ¡°Teacher went out. You¡¯re back so soon?¡± Lily asked in surprise. She had heard from Leon that Noah had gone to the Crying Forest to get the materials for the wand. She had thought that Noah would be back in three to five days, but she did not expect him to be back so soon. ¡°I was lucky. I came back as soon as I got the materials. Did teacher say when he would be back?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not too sure either,¡± Lily replied. ¡°But before he left, he gave me what you needed.¡± Lily took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll. ¡°My teacher asked me to give this to you. It contains the detailed process of making a wand.¡± Lily handed the scroll to Noah. Noah took the parchment scroll and slowly unfolded it. Sure enough, it recorded how to make a wand. ¡°I really envy you. You can make your own wand?¡± ¡°Hmm? What do you mean? You can¡¯t make it?¡± Noah asked curiously. ¡°Didn¡¯t teacher tell you? I originally wanted to make my own wand, but my spiritual power didn¡¯t meet the requirements, so my teacher had to give me a wand.¡± Lily explained. Indeed, Noah had never heard Leon mention this before. He had thought that anyone could make a wand. It turned out that there was a requirement for mental strength. ¡°It¡¯s every mage¡¯s dream to be able to make a wand that resonates with their own spiritual power, but not all mages have the ability to make wands. Only when their spiritual power reaches a certain level can they be qualified to make wands. However, spiritual power is innate. Only by becoming a higher-level mage can one increase the strength of spiritual power. To reach the level of making wands, one must at least become a level-two mage, which is the level of teacher.¡± Lily explained in detail. Noah finally understood. His mental strength was different from that of ordinary people. He had reached the standard for making wands. Leon must have known about this, which was why he had asked Noah to make his own wand. Forget it. I¡¯ll continue to construct the magic model. It¡¯s always a blow to me to be with you. Lily said with a pout, then turned around and walked into the meditation room again. Noah was helpless. His body had been modified by Amelia Arveis, and he couldn¡¯t control it. However, he did not dwell too much on it. Noah returned to his room and began to study the sheepskin scroll. The creation of a Basic wand was not too complicated, and the raw materials required were relatively simple. Usually, only two or three raw materials were needed. For example, Noah used the trunk and heart of the Wailing Tree to make a Basic wand. He already had the raw materials. Now, all he needed to do was learn how to process the wand and how to imprint his spiritual power on it. Then, he could officially start making it. Two days later, in the laboratory. According to the description on the parchment scroll, he first needed to polish the trunk of the Wailing Tree Demon into the shape of a wand. The tools used in this process were not ordinary carving tools, but stone knives made of magic stones. Noah took out the trunk of the Crying Tree Demon and began to carve. He thought that the first process would be quite simple, but what Noah did not expect was that this seemingly simple first process was actually a test of patience and carefulness. Every time he polished and carved, he had to be careful not to damage the essence of the trunk. ¡°Damn it!¡± Noah, who was concentrating on polishing the carving, suddenly cried out in surprise. He looked at the tree trunk in his hand and saw that it had shattered into countless pieces because he had used too much force. ¡°Almost!¡± Looking at the broken piece in his hand, Noah felt extremely regretful. He had almost finished the first polishing, but he had still destroyed the trunk due to a moment of carelessness. Fortunately, the tree trunks they brought back were still quite sufficient. Without much hesitation, Noah took out another tree trunk and began to polish the carving again. The first part was still smooth, but just as it was about to finish polishing, the tree trunk shattered into countless pieces again. ¡°How could that be? I was already very careful this time. Why is it still broken?¡± Looking at the tree trunk that was still shattered into countless pieces in his hand, Noah revealed a puzzled expression. He did not understand what went wrong. He was already cautious enough! After thinking for a long time, Noah finally realized where the problem was. It was too deliberate! In other words, his mental strength was too tense. Polishing a wand required mental strength, and magic power flowed naturally. If he was too careful, it would go against the requirements of making a wand. After figuring out his problem, Noah took out another tree trunk and began to carve and polish it. This time, Noah naturally followed the flow of his spiritual power and the stone knife in his hand to polish it bit by bit. Sure enough, he understood the problem. This time, Noah successfully completed the initial polishing and carving of the wand. The brown wand was about 30 centimeters in shape, and it probably weighed about three to four eggs in his hand. The wand felt very good. Although it was only a prototype, Noah felt that this wand was very handy! If completing the first step was a little difficult, then the second step was the most important. The difficulty level also rose sharply. The mage had to inject his own spiritual brand into the wand and complete the embedding of the tree heart at the same time. The process of injecting a spiritual brand was similar to constructing a magic model. The difference was that the magic model was constructed in the mind, while the spiritual brand had to be engraved on the wand. Taking a deep breath, Noah held his breath and focused, preparing to imprint his spiritual imprint. The so-called spiritual imprint was to inject spirituality into the wand, allowing it to act as a medium to release magic of various attributes. The attributes of the spiritual brand would be different depending on the attributes of the mage. Noah was very curious about what kind of attribute he was, but it was definitely not just one attribute. So far, the magic he had mastered was not just one attribute. The fire attribute¡¯s Corrosive Fireball, the earth attribute¡¯s Earth Guard, the ice attribute¡¯s Icicle, Frost Breath, and the wind blade that he had just mastered. Reining in his thoughts, Noah began to formally imprint his spiritual imprint. Chapter 33 - Experimenting Chapter 33 Experimenting The originally smooth surface of the wand lit up with blue patterns, like streams of water slowly spreading from the head of the wand. At this moment, Noah suddenly felt his heart beat violently, and the blood circulation in his body seemed to have suddenly accelerated. In Noah¡¯s body, all the blood in his body was shining with a seven-colored light. Under the influence of this light, Noah¡¯s magic power seemed to be dyed with seven-colored colors. The patterns on the wand also gradually changed from a single blue to seven-colored patterns. ¡°What is this?¡± Noah was extremely curious. It seemed that something had changed in his body again, and it had affected the process of his spiritual imprint. However, Noah did not dare to be overly distracted at this moment because it was already a critical moment. Noah took out the Crying Tree Demon¡¯s tree heart from the side and prepared to insert it into the reserved position on the wand. When the colorful patterns spread to the spot reserved for the tree heart, Noah quickly inserted the tree heart into his wand. Suddenly, the sound of a heartbeat came from the wand. At this moment, the wand seemed to come alive! Under the influence of the seven-colored patterns, the originally green tree heart gradually turned seven-colored. When the seven-colored patterns spread throughout the entire body of the wand, it also marked that the wand had finally been completed! Suddenly, the wand floated up, and a dazzling seven-colored light illuminated the entire laboratory. ¡°Why does my wand look different from the records?¡± Noah was a little surprised. His wand looked too magical. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that it was some kind of divine artifact! With a thought, the wand obediently fell into Noah¡¯s hand, and a sense of satisfaction welled up. It was as if the wand was a part of his body. ¡°Should I give you a name?¡± Noah muttered. After a while, Noah had a flash of inspiration. From today onwards, you will be called Blue Star! The wand seemed to have a mind of its own as it understood Noah¡¯s words. The tree core on its body emitted an even more dazzling seven-colored radiance. After finally creating his own wand, Noah couldn¡¯t wait to try out the power of the magic released by this wand, so Noah walked towards the shooting range. In the shooting range, Noah caressed the wand in his hand lovingly. ¡°Look at your power. Don¡¯t disappoint me!¡± Great Wind Spirit, listen to my call. Dance freely, Wind Blade! ¡± The magic wand lit up with seven-colored patterns again, and a Wind Blade Spell was launched at a mannequin in armor. ¡°Buzz!¡± The armor and the dummy were cut in half by the wind blade. Noah could not help but be shocked. Was this still the power of the Wind Blade Technique? The last time, he could only barely break the armor. But this time, not only was the armor cut in half, but the dummy was also cut in half. One had to know that the dummy¡¯s body was not much weaker than the armor. He remembered that his teacher had told him that if he could make his own wand, the power of the magic he released through the wand would increase by about 10%. But now, this Wind Blade Spell had increased by at least 20%! Noelle nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the results of the Wind Blade Spell. At this time, Lily also came to the shooting range. Lily was shocked to see the mannequin cut in half as soon as she entered the door. ¡°Noah, did you do this?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Noah nodded subconsciously. ¡°What kind of monster are you?¡± Lily was completely speechless. It had only been a short time, and Noah was already able to release such powerful magic. But suddenly, Lily saw the wand in Noah¡¯s hand and reacted. ¡°Your wand is ready?¡± Lily quickly walked up to Noah. ¡°Can I take a look?¡± Lily asked expectantly. ¡°Of course. Here you go.¡± Noah generously handed the wand to Lily. Lily took the wand and felt it carefully. As the magic power was transferred to the wand, the colorful light lit up again. Lily was a little confused. How could it be colorful? Wasn¡¯t Noah a fire-elemental mage? What surprised her even more was that holding the wand, she felt the magic power in her body suddenly become active. Lily could not help but chant a spell, and a big hand in the shape of a flame attacked the mannequin. With a rumble, thick smoke instantly billowed. After the dust settled, the originally mighty iron-armored mannequin had been burned by the flaming hand until it had no human form at all. Obviously, this was a magic model that Lily had constructed. ¡°Noah, how did you do it? With your wand, the power of my spells increased by at least 15%! My wand can only increase the power of magic by 10%.¡± Lily exclaimed. ¡°15%?¡±Noah was puzzled. When he used it himself, didn¡¯t it increase the power of his magic by 20%? It seemed that his wand was even more extraordinary than he had imagined, as if he was the only one who could unleash its true power. Although he realized that it was probably because of his body, he definitely could not tell Lily about it. Therefore, Noah said vaguely, ¡± I¡¯m not sure either. I just followed the records on the goatskin scroll and did it step by step. This is what happened after I made it. ¡± Hearing Noah¡¯s reply, Lily¡¯s face stiffened. Is this what a genius is? If you follow the steps, you can do better than others!¡± But Lily guessed that it was probably related to Noah¡¯s ability to master companion magic. Other than that, she could not think of any other possibility. Without much hesitation, Lily excitedly tried other spells with Noah¡¯s wand. Without exception, the magic released by this wand was much more powerful than her own wand. However, no matter how she urged the magic in her body, she could not cause the same effect as Noah and completely destroy the iron man. After trying for a while until the magic power in her body was almost exhausted, Lily reluctantly returned the wand to Noah. Noah, congratulations. With this wand, you¡¯ll definitely shine at the conference in a month. ¡± ¡°Thank you. You¡¯ll definitely get good results too.¡± The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before Lily left the shooting range. However, upon closer inspection, she was holding a beautiful gift box in her hand. Inside the box was the wand she had prepared for Noah. She thought that Noah would not be able to make a wand so quickly, so she wanted to give Noah a wand as a gift to repay Noah for saving them, but now it seemed that she did not need it. Lily looked disappointed. After Lily left, Noah did not stay for long. After several magic experiments, he had figured out the boundaries of the wand. Chapter 34 - Mystic Realm Chapter 34 Mystic Realm Firstly, the power of the magic staff increased by 20%. Secondly, the mana utilization rate increased by about 15%. This was equivalent to giving Noah one more chance to cast a spell under the same circumstances. If he was in danger, this extra chance to cast a spell would be a life-saving existence. Finally, his casting speed had increased by 10% when he used the wand. Overall, with the help of the wand, his overall strength had increased by about 30%! After leaving the shooting range, Noah went to a meditation room and began to build a second magic model. This time, Noah chose the spell that Lily had cast against the Ice Python, Fire Rain. The power of the Fire Rain was obvious. Even the Ice Python was injured by the Fire Rain. Another reason was that Fire Rain was a rare level-one AoE spell. Noah¡¯s current spells were all single-target attack spells. If he could master Fire Rain, he would not have needed any help when he was surrounded by the Crying Tree Demon last time. With the experience of constructing a magic model for the first time, Noah¡¯s speed of constructing the Fire Rain magic model was obviously much faster. By the time it was close to evening, he had already completed about one-third of the model construction. If he continued to build the magic model, Noah was confident that he could finish it in two days. The reason he stopped was because Leon had returned. He also brought a message to Lily and Noah¡­ In the hall of the mage tower. Leon looked at Lily and Noah with a serious expression. ¡°Teacher, did something happen?¡± Lily asked first. ¡°There¡¯s indeed something I have to tell you. This is both a good and a bad thing for you!¡± After a moment of silence, Leon slowly said, ¡°You all know that I was away for a period of time. During this period of time, I went out to explore a mystic realm with two second-grade mages outside the city.¡± Noah was just curious when he heard the mystic realm and did not know what it was. However, Lily was surprised. ¡°Teacher, are you saying that there is a mystic realm on Corona Island?¡± Lily said in disbelief. Leon nodded slightly. ¡°Hiss!¡± Lily gasped, obviously shocked by the news. ¡°Teacher, what is a mystic realm?¡± Noah could not help but ask. However, before Leon could say anything, Lily spoke first. ¡°The so-called mystic realms are parallel spaces that don¡¯t belong to this world at all. However, due to some unknown reasons, they are accidentally connected to our world. We can enter the other world through the passageway that connects the two worlds to explore and obtain countless treasures and resources. According to the different ownership of the mystic realms, the realms are divided into natural mystic realms and man-made mystic realms. The man-made mystic realm is said to be an alternate dimension that can only be created by a legendary holy mage.¡± ¡°According to the danger level of the resources in the mystic realms, it is divided into low-level mystic realm, medium-level mystic realm, high-level mystic realm, and super mystic realm! Legend has it that the dragon race lives in a high-level mystic realm, which is also the highest-level mystic realm known.¡± Lily looked at Noah expectantly. Seeing Noah¡¯s enlightened expression, Lily smiled in satisfaction. She had always been beaten by Noah in her magic cultivation, and she could finally turn the tables in this place! Noah did not know what Lily was thinking. All he could think about was the parallel space and the other world that Lily had just mentioned. He wondered if the secret realm that Leon and the others had discovered was Earth. However, Leon¡¯s next words shattered Noah¡¯s guess. ¡°Lily¡¯s introduction is very detailed. That¡¯s right, we found a passage to a mystic realm on the island. This mystic realm is a man-made low-level mystic realm. According to my inference, it should have existed for tens of thousands of years.¡¯ ¡°Hmm? A man-made low-level mystic realm?¡± Lily was confused. She had just said that man-made secret realms were usually created by high-level creatures like holy mages. How could the secret realms created by such existences be low-level mystic realms? They should at least be middle-level mystic realms! Leon seemed to have noticed Lily¡¯s confusion and explained, ¡°It is indeed a man-made mystic realm, but it is not a real mystic realm. After our investigation, it seems to be a failed product. We speculate that tens of thousands of years ago, a holy mage should have descended on our island and tried to create a mystic realm here. However, he failed and left behind such a space.¡¯ ¡°I see.¡± Lily could understand. ¡°Although this is a half-completed mystic realm, after our preliminary investigation, the mana inside the mystic realm is nearly three times denser than the outside world. There must be abundant resources and treasures inside the secret plane. Even if the realm is empty, cultivating in the mystic realm is incomparable to the outside world!¡± ¡°Teacher, what does this have to do with us?¡± Noah suddenly asked. ¡°That¡¯s what I want to tell you. Currently, only two other second-grade mage in our city and I know about this mystic realm. However, the news will not be kept secret for long. Therefore, we have decided to use this mystic realm as the reward for this year¡¯s magic exchange in Cozovo city!¡± Chapter 35 - The Enraged Noah Chapter 35 The Enraged Noah ¡°The mystic realm as a reward?¡± Lily was shocked again. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. It¡¯s just that if someone wins this exchange meet and can represent us in the exchange meet on Corona Island, they will be qualified to explore this mythical realm and go to the mystic realm!¡± Leon explained. Lily and Noah finally understood what was going on. Lily¡¯s heart was burning with excitement when she heard the good news. That was a secret realm, full of endless unknown and possibilities. Perhaps she could find a treasure in the secret realm to treat her father¡¯s injuries! Noah was also full of yearning, but unlike Lily, Noah saw the hope of returning home. Was the birth of the mystical realm described by Lily very similar to his arrival in this world? Maybe he came to this world because of the accidental connection between Earth and Miracle Continent. Maybe he could find a way to return to Earth in the mystic realm! ¡°I¡¯ve already told you the news. It¡¯s up to you whether you can seize this opportunity or not. I hope that the two of you will be able to enter the mystic realm!¡± After saying that, Leon stroked his beard and left. After Leon left, Lily returned to the meditation room. She was only one magic model away from becoming an official mage! Noah did not stay idle like Lily. He began to construct the magic model again. Three days later, Noah¡¯s second magic model, Fire Rain, was successfully constructed. However, this time, he was not in a hurry to test the power of Fire Rain. Noah began to construct the third magic model without stopping. For the third spell, Noah chose a defensive spell of the earth element. He had no lack of offensive means. In terms of power, he had the Corrosive Fireball and the area-of-effect spell, Fire Rain. He only had one defensive spell. Although there was an Earth Guard, the weakness of this spell was too obvious. Although the defensive power of the armor formed by the Earth Guard was amazing, it was too heavy. When he used this spell, he was equivalent to a live target. If the opponent had any extremely powerful spells, he would also be in danger. After a few choices, Noah finally chose the earth element spell, Slow. By changing the terrain, it could reduce the opponent¡¯s mobility. After making his choice, Noah began to construct the magic model of the Delaying Spell. To Noah¡¯s surprise, this spell was actually more difficult to comprehend than the group fire element spell, Fire Rain. In three days, he had constructed less than one-fifth of the Delaying Spell. It required extremely high control of mana! On the fifth day, Noah finally completed one-third of the construction. It was also on this day that a fiery red pillar of light descended upon Leon¡¯s mage tower. Everyone in the city saw the pillar of light that was like a blazing flame. ¡°That¡¯s the mage tower of Leon Flos, right? Did Lily become an official mage?¡± ¡°That must be it. Mr. Leon is already a second-grade mage. This is obviously the sign of a level-one mage. We have an amazing genius in our city, an official mage who isn¡¯t even twenty years old yet!¡± ¡°As expected of the castellan¡¯s daughter. Her Excellency Lily will definitely become more dazzling than the castellan in the future! ¡°The people in the city could not help but praise Lily¡¯s talent. This fiery red-light pillar lasted for a long time before it slowly dissipated. In the meditation room of the mage tower, Lily slowly opened her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve finally become an official mage!¡± Lily muttered to herself. ¡°My dear Lily, congratulations, you have finally become an official mage!¡± Leon walked over and said with great relief. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to my teacher¡¯s guidance that I was able to become an official mage so quickly.¡± Lily replied humbly. Leon was even more satisfied. He walked up to Lily and handed her a fiery red robe. ¡°My dear Lily, you have become an official mage. From today onwards, you can wear this magic robe that symbolizes an official mage. This badge of a first-grade mage also belongs to you.¡¯ ¡°Thank you, teacher!¡± Lily took the magic robe and badge excitedly. In addition to the white robe, there was a red border on the cuffs. The badge was dark gold with luxurious patterns on the edges. The four basic elements of the world were engraved in the middle: earth, water, fire, and wind. Above the elements was a pentagram, representing Lily¡¯s identity as a first-grade mage. ¡°From today onwards, I¡¯ll help you get used to the power of a magus of the first rank as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, teacher.¡± Lily replied, but her eyes could not help but look at the meditation room where Noah was. ¡°Noah should be about to become a magus the first rank.¡± Five days later, another beam of light of descended upon Leon¡¯s Mage Tower. Everyone in the city was stunned by the light pillar. In less than five days, why did another light beam descend on Leon¡¯s Mage Tower? ¡°Has Lily become a Grade 2 mage? ¡°How is that possible? No matter how talented Lily is, she can¡¯t become a Grade 2 Magician in five days!¡± It should be that Great Wizard Leon has taken in another disciple! ¡± The people in the city discussed animatedly. Meanwhile, in the Magus Tower, Noah, who was in the process of becoming a 1st-tier mage, had an abnormality in his body! ¡°What happened? My body is so hot!¡± Streams of blood-red steam spewed out from Noah¡¯s pores, accompanied by scale-like things appearing on the surface of Noah¡¯s body! ¡°What is this?¡± Noelle panicked when he saw the strange scales on his body. He had never heard of a magus growing scales after advancing to the first rank. Not only that, as time passed, Noah¡¯s eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his pupils gradually became vertical like snakes! A bloodthirsty thought filled Noah¡¯s mind. It was as if a voice was constantly whispering in his mind. Under the influence of this voice, Noah¡¯s consciousness gradually dissipated. Immediately after, a terrifying aura bloomed from Noah¡¯s body, and the entire mage tower trembled. ¡°Noah?¡± Lily heard the noise and walked over. But when she saw Noah covered in scales and covered in blood-red mist, Lily could not believe that it was Noah! The beam of light in the sky had already disappeared. Noah raised his head, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Lily with bloodthirsty eyes. A wicked smile appeared on Noah¡¯s face. Before Lily could react, he rushed toward her. ¡°Noah! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Lily shouted. Noah turned a blind eye to her, and his hands, which had turned into sharp claws, clawed at Lily¡¯s head. Although he did not know what had happened to Noah, he was already full of hostility towards her at this moment! Not daring to be careless, Lily narrowly avoided Noah¡¯s attack and took out her wand. Chapter 36 - Rape Lily Jones? Chapter 36 Rape Lily Jones? ¡°Noah, wake up. It¡¯s me!¡± Lily shouted with a hint of hope. However, Noah did not react at all. The fierce look on his face did not decrease at all. After a slight adjustment, he attacked Lily again! Lily frowned and slowly raised her wand. ¡°Fiery fire elements, respond to my call and illuminate the darkness of the world. Fireball. Lily chanted the spell. A fireball condensed at the tip of the wand. Worried that it would hurt Noah¡¯s life, Lily retracted her magic power. With a whoosh, the fireball flew towards Noah. ¡°Bang!¡± Lily looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. Her fireball stopped the moment it approached Noah. Noah reached out his claws and pinched it gently, and the fireball dissipated like a ball. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Lily couldn¡¯t believe it. This was not a fireball from a level-zero spell, but an official level-one spell. Even a Grade 1 Magician would not dare to use his body to catch a fireball! However, not only did Noah receive it, but he also crushed the fireball without any damage to his body? ¡°What exactly is this thing?¡± Lily was confused. She even wondered if Noah was human. Before she could think about it, Noah had already rushed over again. Lily did not dare to go easy on him anymore. She chanted another spell and a wall of fire appeared in front of her. Looking at the burning wall of fire, Noah¡¯s face flashed with a hint of mockery. He did not take the wall of fire seriously at all. The next moment, Noah extended his claws and stabbed them into the wall of fire. Lily watched in horror as Noah tore the wall of fire in half! Lily was really frightened. Was this something that a human could do? Lily quickly chanted an incantation and another fireball was formed. This time, Lily did not hold back and fully activated the magic power in her body And at such a close distance, Noah shouldn¡¯t be able to avoid it. But in the next moment, Lily¡¯s eyes widened because Noah had no intention of dodging. Lily¡¯s fireball had just condensed when it was grabbed by Noah. At this moment, Noah, who was holding the fireball with one hand, looked like a demon! Noah smiled. Lily¡¯s fireball exploded like fireworks. Noah did not move, but Lily was sent flying by the impact of the explosion. ¡°Puff!¡± Lily spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Noah, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Noah¡¯s expression was cold as he slowly walked up to Lily. Lily wanted to do something, but as soon as she raised her wand, her hand fell weakly. Lily closed her eyes subconsciously. At this moment, Noah looked at Lily, whose clothes were disheveled, revealing a large part of her snow-white skin. A primitive desire suddenly arose in his heart! With a tearing sound, Lily¡¯s shirt was completely torn off, revealing her slender waist and proud breasts. Noah, who had lost consciousness, instinctively grabbed Lily¡¯s breasts. ¡°Yes!¡± Lily opened her eyes and gasped. ¡°Noah, what are you doing?¡± Lily tried her best to resist and push Noah away, but her strength was like an underage girl in front of Noah. Noah sat on Lily¡¯s body and did not move at all. ¡°Noah, wake up!¡± Lily was still struggling, but this made Noah even more excited. Noah tore Lily¡¯s long dress apart. Her fair and slender legs were also exposed to the air. ¡°Noah, don¡¯t, I beg you, don¡¯t do this!¡± Lily¡¯s voice was already sobbing, but Noah ignored her. Just as Noah was about to follow his instincts and execute Lily on the spot, Leon appeared. A fireball flew towards Noah. Noah seemed to have expected this. He quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the fireball with a hint of disdain on his face. He raised his sharp claws and prepared to crush the fireball again. But this time, Noah failed. The moment the fireball hit Noah, a violent explosion occurred, and Noah was instantly sent flying. ¡°Teacher!¡± Lily looked in the direction of the fireball. Leon had appeared. However, Leon¡¯s expression was also solemn. He had never seen Noah¡¯s change before, especially when he met Noah¡¯s cold eyes. Even Leon felt a chill run down his spine! ¡°Teacher, Noah seems to have lost consciousness. He doesn¡¯t respond no matter how I call him.¡± Lily reminded him. Leon nodded. Without hesitation, he took out his wand and began to chant. O passionate fire element, please listen to my call to descend into the world. Turn into a cage of sealing, a cage of flames! A cage made of flames formed above Noah¡¯s head and fell straight down. With a clang, Noah was imprisoned in the cage of flames. ¡°Teacher, is everything alright?¡± Lily stood up weakly and walked to Leon¡¯s side. Leon didn¡¯t reply immediately, but his serious expression answered the question. Noah, who was in the cage, seemed to have been angered by the fireball just now. He was letting out waves of angry roars, and his voice was extremely shrill and terrifying! As Noah roared, the blood-colored mist around him became thicker, and the scales on his body seemed to have become more solid. Immediately after, Noah¡¯s hands that had turned into sharp claws grabbed the cage again, and a sizzling sound immediately sounded. It was obvious that Noah was also injured, but under the burning of the cage of flames, not only did Noah not let go, but he also let out an even more ferocious roar. Leon was also shocked by this scene. But it wasn¡¯t over yet. Noah began to attack the cage crazily, and sharp claws waved at the cage one after another. Under Noah¡¯s hysterical and crazy attacks, the Level-2 Flame Cage was actually on the verge of collapsing! ¡°Not good!¡± Leon also realized that the fire cage could no longer stop Noah. Leon made a prompt decision and chanted the spell again. ¡°Great God of Fire, please lend me your power to burn all the evil in this world. Flame Chain! 11 Suddenly, eight chains made of black flames drilled out of the void and wrapped around Noah¡¯s body. Noah, who was still in a frenzy, was instantly unable to move. ¡°Roar! Roar! Roar!¡± Although his body was restrained, Noah was still struggling with all his might. He kept twisting his body as if he wanted to break the chains. However, these eight chains seemed to have more than just the effect of imprisonment. When Noah struggled with all his might, runes appeared on the chains. ¡°Ah!¡± Noah suddenly screamed. ¡°Teacher, what happened to Noah?¡± Lily asked worriedly. Don¡¯t worry. These runic chains will only control him. They won¡¯t harm his life. ¡± Leon said calmly. Lily was relieved, but her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Noah. She felt that Noah was like a demon beast that chose people to eat, crazy and cruel! Noah, who was imprisoned by the chains, was still struggling. However, every time he struggled, the runes on the chains would light up, and Noah would scream in pain. After an unknown period of time, Noah finally stopped struggling. The blood-colored fog his body and the scales on his body around began to gradually disappear. Leon immediately took the opportunity to chant an incantation. ¡± Free wind spirit, please listen to my call. Sweep the filth of this world, 11 Clarity! A breeze blew towards Noah. Finally, under the influence of the Clarity Spell, Noah¡¯s eyes regained clarity. The surrounding blood-colored fog also completely dissipated, and his body returned to normal. ¡°Teacher.¡± Noah had just shouted out two words when he fainted. Chapter 37 - Bloodline Chapter 37 Bloodline When he woke up again, Noah found himself lying in bed. Lily stood by the bed with a nervous expression, and Leon looked at him warily. ¡°Lily, teacher, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Noah asked curiously. Hearing Noah¡¯s words, Lily finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°You don¡¯t know what you just did?¡± Lily asked tentatively. ¡°Me? Nothing much, I¡¯m just advancing to become an official Magician¡­¡± Noah was stunned. Some images flashed through his mind. He was covered in scales and covered in blood-red mist. He seemed to have taken off Lily¡¯s clothes and was ready to do her. ¡°You remember now?¡± Lily asked, blushing. ¡°No, my memory is very vague. I can¡¯t remember.¡± Noah said quickly. He thought of the memory fragments in his mind. Lily was naked and he was riding her. If it was true, it would be too embarrassing! Lily heaved a sigh of relief. Noah had seen her naked. If Noah still remembered clearly, she wouldn¡¯t know how to face Noah in the future. ¡°Noah, what happened? Why did you suddenly become like that?¡± Lily asked with concern. ¡°I, I don¡¯t know either.¡± Noah didn¡¯t know why he suddenly lost control. He had completed the construction of three Grade-1 magic models and was ready to advance to an official Grade-1 mage. The process was also very smooth. He only remembered that a white pillar of light descended from the sky, and the magic power in his body began to slowly increase. When he broke through a certain limit, his blood¡­ Right, blood. Noah suddenly remembered that during the process of advancing to a Grade-1 mage, his body suddenly became hot and steaming. Then, he lost consciousness! At the thought of this, Noah could roughly guess what the reason was. It should still be related to the transformation of his body by Amelia Arveis. But why did this not happen before? Why did it have to happen when he was advancing to an official mage? At this moment, Leon walked up thoughtfully. ¡°Noah, I have a guess, but I need your cooperation!¡± ¡°Teacher, go ahead.¡± ¡°I need your blood.¡± ¡°My blood?¡± Noah was a little nervous. The problem with his body seemed to be related to the blood in his body. Could it be that his teacher had discovered something? ¡°That¡¯s right. I suspect that your sudden outburst has something to do with your bloodline. Your performance is very similar to the legendary bloodline Warlocks!¡± ¡°Bloodline Warlock? What¡¯s that?¡± Lily was also very curious. ¡°Bloodline Warlocks are a branch of mages. However, mages obtain magic power from the natural elements in the world, while bloodline Warlocks ¡®power comes from their bloodline. Moreover, most of these bloodlines are not human bloodlines, but a variety of foreign races!¡± ¡°Outsiders?¡± Noah looked puzzled. Leon continued to explain, ¡± That¡¯s right. Some of these foreign races are magical beasts, and some are even legendary mythical creatures. Their strength is also very different. Their powerful bloodlines are even comparable to the legendary holy sorcerers, and the weakest bloodlines are comparable to level-three sorcerers! ¡± ¡°Teacher, if I were a bloodline Warlock, would anything bad happen to me?¡± Noah asked worriedly. Leon smiled. I understand your concern. Don¡¯t worry, Bloodline Warlocks are not monsters. In a sense, Bloodline Warlocks are synonymous with geniuses! This is because every bloodline Warlock won¡¯t have a bottleneck before they reach the origin of their bloodline!¡± ¡°However, this also brings about a problem. The upper limit of every bloodline Warlock is related to the strength of his bloodline. If his bloodline source is a third-grade magical beast, then his final strength will reach the limit of a third-grade mage. Moreover, the power of his bloodline will become a shackle that will prevent him from entering a higher life form for the rest of his life!¡± After listening to Leon¡¯s detailed explanation, Noah understood. He also wanted to know if he was a so-called bloodline Warlock. ¡°Teacher, how should I cooperate?¡± Noah asked. It doesn¡¯t need to be too complicated. I just need a drop of your blood! ¡± Leon said calmly. Noah nodded and bit his index finger with his teeth. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, a drop of golden blood seeped out of Noah¡¯s fingertip. ¡°Gold!¡± Lily was shocked. Was Noah really a legendary bloodline warlock? Leon looked as if he had expected it. However, to his surprise, Noah¡¯s blood was golden. He had never heard of any Warlock with a golden bloodline! Moreover, Leon could feel a strong life force from the small drop of blood, as if this drop of blood contained endless energy! Then, Leon began to chant, but this time, it didn¡¯t seem to be an ordinary chant, because Leon uttered some particularly obscure syllables. As he chanted the spell, the drop of golden blood floated in front of Leon. ¡°Great God of Knowledge, please bestow me with the power to see through illusions, the Eye of Truth! ¡°A rainbow light flashed in Leon¡¯s eyes. Leon looked at the drop of golden blood. The drop of blood that was smiling slowly enlarged in Leon¡¯s eyes, and his gaze gradually went deeper into the drop of blood. After entering the blood, Leon¡¯s consciousness seemed to have entered another world. He was surrounded by colorful lights. As he went deeper, Leon felt the majestic life force again. He seemed to have arrived at the origin of the world, the starting point of all things! As a grade-2 mage, Leon was a little obsessed. Fortunately, Leon did not forget his purpose. His consciousness continued to go deeper, and finally, Leon¡¯s consciousness entered a mysterious space. A figure slowly turned around. ¡°Ignorant humans, how dare you covet my power!¡± Chapter 38 - Noahs Bloodline Chapter 38 Noah¡¯s Bloodline The next moment, Leon¡¯s consciousness returned to his body. ¡°Puff!¡± Leon spat out a mouthful of blood! When Leon regained his senses, he was already drenched in sweat. ¡°Teacher, what happened?¡± Noah went forward and asked with concern. But the moment he saw Noah, Leon seemed to have received a shock. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Spare me!¡± Leon was so scared that he retreated. ¡°Teacher?¡± Noah was not only at a loss. Why did the teacher look at him like he was a monster? After a while, Leon finally calmed down. Thinking of his embarrassment, he couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed. ¡°Ahem, I¡¯ve lost my composure. Noah, I can almost confirm that you are indeed a bloodline Warlock. It seems that you have mastered the companion magic. ¡± Leon said unnaturally. ¡°Teacher, do you know what creature my bloodline comes from?¡± Noah asked the question that he was most concerned about. He had also thought about it. The bloodline in his body had been replaced by Amelia Arveis, but he had never known who Amelia Arveis was. It seemed that he could find out from Leon. However, Noah was disappointed. Leon immediately said, ¡°¡±Unfortunately, although I can confirm that you are a bloodline Warlock, I can¡¯t confirm the origin of your bloodline. However, I can confirm that your bloodline is very strong!¡± Leon didn¡¯t say much. On one hand, he didn¡¯t see it clearly, and on the other hand, he didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. He had just used the Eye of Truth to search for the source of Noah¡¯s bloodline, but he saw an indescribable figure. In front of that figure, Leon felt like an ant! Now that he thought about it, he felt a chill run down his spine! Noah was a little disappointed. He thought he would be able to find out about Amelia¡¯s identity from Leon, but since he knew that he was a bloodline warlock, he should be able to solve the problem of losing control. This was the most important thing. Noah was terrified when he thought about almost killing Lily. The key was that he had no consciousness at all. Even his memory after the incident was very vague! It was as if his body had been controlled by another person during that period of time! Teacher,¡± Noah asked anxiously, ¡± is there any way to solve the problem of my body losing control? ¡± Leon nodded and thought for a while before saying, ¡°¡±The reason why you lost control is because of the bloodline power in your body. While the bloodline gives you power, it also brings hidden dangers. This is a problem that exists in the beginning of bloodline Warlocks. After all, as a human, the blood in your body is not human. Some people will lose control and go berserk like you. There are also some other side effects.¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m your teacher, I¡¯m only a Grade 2 Magician. You¡¯ll surpass me sooner or later. I can¡¯t help you completely solve the problem of your bloodline. You can only find a way to solve the problem by going to the Guild of Magic. Therefore, this exchange is extremely important to you!¡± Leon said helplessly. ¡°But the good news is that your bloodline power is not too strong at the moment. I can still help you suppress it a little, but once you become a Grade 2 Magician one day, even I won¡¯t be able to do anything about it. Before that, you have to find a solution. Otherwise, you might lose control completely and become a puppet that only knows how to kill!¡± Leon reminded. After hearing Leon¡¯s words, Noah¡¯s mood seemed a little heavy. It seemed that the Mage Union was imperative. He did not want his body to be out of his control! ¡°Noah, don¡¯t think too much. There will be a way. Now that you and Lily have both become official sorcerers, the exchange meeting in Sofia will be held in a week. I¡¯ll take you guys to familiarize and master the power of official sorcerers as soon as possible. I believe you¡¯ll do well in the exchange meeting! ¡°Yes, teacher!¡± Lily and Noah replied at the same time. ¡°Alright, you guys can go back and rest early today.¡± Leon said softly. Lily and Noah were about to leave when Leon suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°¡®¡±Lili, stay here for a while. I have something to tell you ¡­¡± ¡°Lily, how has the Castellan been recently?¡± Leon suddenly asked. ¡°The situation is not optimistic. The cold in my father¡¯s body is getting worse by the day. Fortunately, my father is a level-two fire-elemental mage, so he can barely resist it. However, the longer we delay, the less hope he has of being cured. ¡± Lily said bitterly. ¡°After all, that¡¯s the poison of a third-grade magic beast. If it wasn¡¯t for that magical beast disaster, your father might have been the first third-grade mage on Corona Island.¡± Leon sighed. ¡°Teacher, do you want to tell me something?¡± Lily did not want to talk about this topic anymore, so she asked. Leon looked conflicted. After a moment of silence, Leon finally decided to say it. ¡°You saw it just now. Noah is a bloodline Warlock, and his bloodline strength is very high. In the future, as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be a famous Great Mage! If you have the time, it will be good for you to communicate with Noya.¡± ¡°But what I want to say is, do you know what I found in Noah¡¯s blood just now?¡± Leon asked. Lily shook her head. Leon continued, ¡± Noah¡¯s blood contains a burning aura. It is also full of vitality. His blood might be helpful for your father¡¯s cold disease. 11 ¡°What?¡± Lily cried out in surprise. ¡°Teacher, is what you said true? You mean, Noah¡¯s blood can cure my father¡¯s cold disease?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible, but it¡¯s not something that can be completely cured with just a drop of blood. According to my speculation, if you consume more than half of Noah¡¯s blood, it might be possible to cure your father¡¯s cold disease. However, with Noah¡¯s current condition, if you consume more than half of Noah¡¯s blood, his life will be in danger! ¡± Lily, who had just gained hope, instantly gave up. She could not hurt another innocent person in order to cure her father! Moreover, Noah had saved her life! ¡°I¡¯m telling you this because I have other plans. I don¡¯t want Noah to get hurt either, but under the condition that you don¡¯t hurt Noah, you can discuss with Noah to only take a small amount of blood to help your father delay his illness. That way, you¡¯ll have enough time to obtain the Dragon¡¯s Breath Grass from the mage exchange. Lily¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this. It was obvious that Leon¡¯s suggestion had moved Lily. This way, she would not hurt Noah, but she could also help her father alleviate the pain caused by the cold. ¡°I¡¯ll discuss it with Noah now!¡± Lily was extremely excited and was about to turn around to look for Noah. But Leon suddenly stopped Lily. ¡± Wait, now is not the time. The exchange meeting in the city is in a week. My suggestion is that you talk to Noah after the exchange meeting, but there is one thing I hope you don¡¯t force Noah. ¡± ¡°Teacher, I understand.¡± Lily replied solemnly. ¡°Yes, you and Noah are both my disciples. You still have a long life ahead of you. Don¡¯t force yourself.¡± With that, she turned around and left. Lily stayed where she was, staring at the sky through the skylight of the wizard tower, lost in thought. Chapter 39 - Tri-Elemental Mage Chapter 39 Tri-Elemental Mage The next day, Lily and Noah began the training of formal mages to adapt to the power of a Grade-1 mage. ¡°Lily, use the three level-one magic models you built to attack me,¡± Leon said in the training room. ¡°Yes.¡± Lily took out her wand and began to chant. ¡°Fiery fire elements, respond to my call and illuminate the darkness of the world. Fireball.¡± A fireball flew toward Leon at an extremely fast speed. ¡°That¡¯s right, but the fire element isn¡¯t concentrated enough. When you¡¯re chanting, you have to completely focus on communicating with the fire element.¡± Leon suggested to Lily¡¯s fireball. Then, Leon also released a fireball. However, compared to Lily, Leon¡¯s fireball was more condensed. They were both fireballs, but Leon could feel the scorching heat wave as soon as the fireball appeared. The two fireballs met in the air, and it was obvious who was stronger. Lily¡¯s fireball dissipated in the blink of an eye, while Leon¡¯s fireball only slowed down slightly and continued to attack Lily. Just as it was about to hit Lily, Leon waved his wand and the fireball dissipated. ¡°Lily, do you see the difference?¡± Leon asked. ¡°Teacher¡¯s magic power control is more detailed and condensed,¡± Lily replied. ¡°Not bad. Also, the fireball I released just now was based on the magic power of a Grade-1 mage like you, but you saw the effect. Your fireball was only slightly stronger than a level-zero fireball. It didn¡¯t reach the standard that a level-one spell should have.¡± ¡°I understand, teacher. ¡± Yes, but don¡¯t be discouraged. You have just become first-grade mages, so you still need to practice your control of magic power. I¡¯m just pointing out your shortcomings,¡± Leon said patiently. Then, Lily released the second spell, Fire Rain. After becoming a first-grade mage, Lily¡¯s Fire Rain was more powerful than when she was fighting the Ice Python. However, Leon was able to defend against Lily¡¯s fire rain with just a fire barrier. Leon once again gave his opinion based on Lily¡¯s shortcomings. After healing the last wall of fire, Leon did not let Lily cast it again. After the first two spells, Leon had discovered Lily¡¯s problem, which was her control of magic power and communication with the fire element. Then, Lily retreated to the side and it was Noah¡¯s turn. ¡°Noah, just like Lily, release your magic.¡± ¡°Yes, teacher.¡± Hearing this, Noah took out his own wand. Leon¡¯s eyes lit up the moment he saw the wand. He had forgotten about this. Noah had already made his own wand. This talent was unbelievable. He had wanted to teach Noah, but he did not expect Noah to have already made his own wand. Leon couldn¡¯t help but look forward to Noah¡¯s magic and see if it would surprise him. Great Wind Spirit, listen to my call. Dance freely, Wind Blade! ¡± ¡°Wind magic?¡± Lily was surprised to see that Noah was casting wind magic. Wasn¡¯t Noah a fire mage like her? Leon was not surprised. He had already realized that Noah might be a dual-elemental mage when he first tested the power of the Wind Blade Spell! Ordinary Magicians usually only had a high affinity for one magical element, which also determined their magical attributes. However, there were a few Magicians who were born with a high affinity for two or more magical elements. Such Magicians were extremely rare, and they would be extremely powerful when they grew up. After all, they had mastered spells of multiple attributes. When they worked together, the effect would not just be 1+1! Noah seemed to be a dual-elemental mage with both wind and fire attributes. This might have something to do with his bloodline. Leon and Lily were both fire element mages, so Leon still released a fireball to deal with Noah¡¯s wind blade. The wind blade and the fireball collided. Unexpectedly, Noah¡¯s wind blade and Leon¡¯s fireball were at the same level. ¡°Good! Noah, I didn¡¯t expect that the grade-1 spells you cast would be of such quality even though you¡¯ve only just become a grade-1 mage. Whether it¡¯s your ability to communicate with the elements or your control of magic, you¡¯re considered outstanding!¡± Leon praised. As he spoke, the fierce wind blades and fireballs suddenly exploded. Noah and Leon were tied! Lily could not help but look at Noah with admiration. They were both Grade-1 mages, but her magic was weak in front of her teacher. However, Noah could compete with her teacher. The difference between the two was obvious! ¡°Again. Noah, you can freely release magic. Teacher will officially compete with you.¡± Leon said excitedly. Noah seemed to have his fighting spirit aroused and agreed. Then, the two of them began to fight! ¡°Fireball!¡± Leon took the lead to attack with his magic weapon, and another fireball was cast at Noah. Noah reacted quickly and responded with a wind blade. ¡°Great Fire Element, your radiance shines on the world, melting the ice and bringing hope to the world. Please listen to my call and release your light and heat, Fire Rain! ¡± Noah cast a rain of fire. If Lily¡¯s rain was a drizzle, then Noah¡¯s rain of fire was a downpour. Both the power and the scale were even more exaggerated. ¡°Pervert!¡± Lily could not help but sigh. How could there be such a huge gap between people? Leon, on the other hand, looked at Noah with admiration. He was liking Noah more and more. He had never seen such outstanding talent before! ¡°Alright, looks like I can¡¯t let my guard down.¡± After saying that, Leon prepared to fight back. However, Leon suddenly realized that the terrain under his feet had changed. The smooth floor had suddenly turned into mud. ¡°This is¡­¡± This was the Delaying Spell released by Noah, which restricted the opponent¡¯s mobility by changing the terrain. ¡°Earth magic! Tri-elemental magus! Tri-elemental magus!¡± Leon was stunned. He was already surprised to find out that Noah was a dual-elemental mage. He did not expect Noah to give him another surprise. Noah was actually a triple-elemental mage: earth, wind, and fire! Chapter 40 - The Gathering Begins Chapter 40 The Gathering Begins Lily covered her mouth in disbelief! ¡°Is this the legendary bloodline Warlock? Isn¡¯t this too abnormal?¡± Leon was even more curious now. What was the source of Noah¡¯s bloodline? How could he have three magical elements? Under the influence of the Slow Spell, Leon was unable to dodge at all. The rain of fire fell from above. ¡°Teacher!¡± Lily called out worriedly. Leon was embarrassed that his disciple was worried about him. ¡°Teacher, I am a magus of the second rank!¡± Leon began to chant an incantation calmly. ¡°Great Fire Spirit, please listen to my call. Release your heat, Scorched Earth! ¡± Under the influence of the spell, the mud on the ground slowly solidified into hard soil. Leon lifted his foot lightly and broke free of his control. Leon raised his hand and cast another fire spell. ¡°Scorching flames. Burn. Release. Flaming Hands!¡± A hand made of fire formed above Leon¡¯s head like a giant umbrella. The rain of fire could not hurt Leon at all. After the rain of fire dissipated, the hand of fire shrank slightly. Leon controlled the hand of fire and slammed it at Noah. Noah frowned and released another Wind Blade. However, this Wind Blade was even larger, and it was even comparable to Leon¡¯s Flame Queen! Leon¡¯s eyes widened. He did not expect Noah¡¯s magic control to reach such a level. It seemed like he had only increased the size of the wind blades, but it involved the most subtle control of magic power. Just this alone made Leon wonder if Noah was really a newbie who had just become a first-grade mage. To Noah himself, he did not realize how exaggerated his performance was. The idea of turning into a huge wind blade was naturally formed in his mind. He felt that it should be like this, and then he did it, and he succeeded! It could only be said that geniuses could not be inferred by common sense many times. The wind blade and the flaming hand collided, instantly stirring up a wave of heat. With a loud bang, a huge explosion sounded. The wind blade and the flaming hand both dissipated. Noah was about to continue attacking when Leon suddenly said, ¡°Alright, alright. My old bones can¡¯t take this anymore.¡± Hearing this, Noah put down the wand in his hand. Leon walked up to Noah, his eyes full of satisfaction and admiration. ¡°Noah, you really surprised me. Not only are you a tri-elemental mage, but your control of magic power is also beyond my expectations. Also, your combat talent. I¡¯m very lucky to be teacher. I feel like I can already see a great your mage rising!¡± ¡°Teacher, you flatter me,¡± Noah said humbly. ¡°You¡¯ve just become a mage, and you¡¯ve already performed so well. I¡¯m very satisfied. The only advantage I have over you is that I have more mana than you, and I have more experience than you. However, these can all be accumulated over time. You¡¯ve already performed very well in other aspects. Before the exchange, you just need to practice the spells you¡¯ve already mastered.¡± ¡°I understand, teacher.¡± Noah replied respectfully. ¡°As for Lily, you need to improve your control of magic and communication with the elements. I¡¯ll help you practice.¡± ¡°Yes, teacher.¡± Lily could not help but feel a little unconvinced when she heard the teacher¡¯s words, but she was relieved when she thought of Noah¡¯s performance. Perhaps in terms of age, she could indeed be considered a genius for becoming an official mage before the age of 20, but that was only when compared to ordinary people. Compared to Noah, her genius was insignificant. However, this also aroused Lily¡¯s competitiveness. She did not think that she was really inferior to Noah. The road ahead was still very long. She believed that she could catch up to Noah or even surpass him. She was confident! Therefore, the two of them began their own practice. Noah followed Leon¡¯s advice and continued to practice the spells he had mastered. In the process, his casting speed increased significantly. Under Leon¡¯s guidance, Lily continued to practice her control of magic power. Lily¡¯s talent was also displayed. With Leon¡¯s guidance, Lily quickly made great progress, and Leon was very satisfied with it. Both of them were training step by step, but one day, Kane suddenly looked for Lily anxiously. ¡°Kane, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lily asked outside the Mage Tower. Kane¡¯s head was covered in sweat. He looked very anxious. After taking a breath, Kane said, ¡°Miss, there have been many strange deaths in the city recently. We suspect that it was done by a black magician.¡± Hearing the words ¡®black magician¡¯, Lily was no longer calm. ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Tell me in detail.¡± At this moment, Noah also walked over. Kane nodded slightly at Noah, then began to tell him what their adventurer team had encountered.
