    ¡°Where is this place?¡±


    A skinny man in gray clothes lay on a small bed made of a few wooden planks.


    After the man got up, he looked at the surrounding walls and the room. It was all made of wooden beams and thatched grass. He fell into deep thought.


    ¡°I remember that I should be going home.


    Why would I be in such a dilapidated house?


    Could it be a prank by those guys?¡±


    As he thought of this, the man immediately walked out of the house and got ready to call out to his sons.


    However, the moment he stepped out of the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.


    Outside the house was a fence made of bamboo poles, and outside the fence was the street. All of this looked quite normal.


    However, the single-horned cow pulling the cart on the street, as well as the red-haired, blue-eyed middle-aged man pulling the cart on the side, were a little ridiculous.


    The man thought he was still asleep and that his eyes were playing tricks on him. After rubbing his eyes hard, he looked at the street again.


    However, the scene on the street didn¡¯t change. Instead, the middle-aged man with the face of a fantasy character said to him after seeing him,


    ¡°Roger, what are you looking at?


    You¡¯ll be an adult after today, but you¡¯re still being so silly.¡±


    Upon hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s shout, Roger subconsciously walked out of the courtyard and couldn¡¯t help saying,


    ¡°Uh, hi, Uncle Ao?¡±


    As soon as he said this, Roger stopped in his tracks. He realized that this might not be a prank by his sons.


    When the middle-aged man heard Roger¡¯s greeting, he gave him a light slap on the head and said,


    ¡°I told you, I¡¯m only twenty-eight this year. It¡¯s fine if you call me Uncle, but you¡¯re still calling me that even at this age.¡±


    Then, he turned around and took out a large piece of rib from the cart. He threw it on Roger¡¯s shoulder and said,


    ¡°Roger, this is the rib of a Second-rank beast, armored-sword pufferfish, that I, Ao, hunted for you this morning at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    This is the best piece of meat from the armored-sword pufferfish, and since you¡¯ve come of age today, I¡¯m giving it to you.¡±


    Roger, who was carrying the one-meter-long, forty-centimeter-wide, and at least fifty kilograms of the armored-sword pufferfish¡¯s rib, somehow felt bubbling rage coming from within.


    Although he didn¡¯t know who the other party was, he still thanked the man.


    The man who called himself Ao looked at Roger¡¯s red face and immediately teased him,


    ¡°Roger, you¡¯re too thin and weak. You didn¡¯t inherit your father¡¯s courage at all. You can¡¯t even carry half a fish. I¡¯m dying of laughter. Hahaha.¡±


    However, Roger had indeed been suppressed by the armored-sword pufferfish meat, to the point that he did not dare to speak. He was afraid that he would lose his breath if he spoke and throw the meat away.


    Ao laughed even louder when he saw how Roger did not dare to speak beneath the weight of the armored-sword pufferfish.


    Then, he walked to Roger¡¯s side. Without much effort, he single-handedly carried the meat into the courtyard and placed it on a stone table.


    After that, Ao laughed and patted Roger¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Roger, you¡¯re way too scrawny!


    But you¡¯re already 18, so you can practice your family¡¯s breathing technique. When the time comes, you won¡¯t be the way you are now, so thin and weak that you look like a gust of wind can send you flying.¡±


    At this moment, Roger realized that he had seemed to have transmigrated.


    After hearing Brother Ao¡¯s words, although Roger really wanted to ask him what the breathing technique was, he did not want to draw attention to himself.


    After all, Brother Ao had said that after today, he would be able to cultivate the breathing technique passed down in his family.


    There should be some information about this world recorded in that breathing technique.


    At that moment, Brother Ao suddenly said to Roger,


    ¡°Roger, since the meat is here, I¡¯ll take my leave first. I¡¯ll wait for you to cultivate the breathing technique and break through to the second rank.


    I, Brother Ao, will personally bring you to Broken Cliff Mountain Range to gain some experience. I promise to train you well, just like how your father trained me.¡±


    Although there was nothing wrong with Brother Ao¡¯s words, his expression and tone gave Roger a bad feeling in his heart.


    However, when Roger saw that Brother Ao was about to leave, he suppressed his bad vibes and followed Brother Ao out of the courtyard. He said to Brother Ao,


    ¡°I know, Brother Ao. If I cultivate to the second rank, I will definitely come and find you.¡±


    Roger¡¯s words made Brother Ao smile. He said to Roger,


    ¡°Those are your words, don¡¯t go back on them when the time comes.¡±


    The tone of his words made Roger shudder. It was as if something bad would happen if he really went to find him.


    However, before Roger could say anything, Ao seemed to know what Roger was thinking and laughed.


    ¡°Alright, I was just teasing you. Do you really mean this? You¡¯re so thin and weak that you can¡¯t even compare to fluffy rabbit, the weakest of the first-rank savage beasts.


    I don¡¯t know when you¡¯ll even gain the strength of a Second-rank. I don¡¯t have the time to wait for you.


    If I actually had the time to train you, I might as well take a walk around Spring Breeze Alley.


    Alright, I¡¯m leaving. You should hurry back.¡±


    Without waiting for Roger to say anything, he drove the ox cart into the distance at high speed.


    As for why he used the word extreme speed¡­


    That was because it had only taken less than ten seconds for the ox cart to disappear from his sight.


    Moreover, the road in front of his house was a straight dirt road, the kind that didn¡¯t have any turns.


    Based on his rough calculations, the ox cart had to have traveled fifty meters per second.


    What did this mean? Even a Lamborghini would have been left in the dust.


    Roger truly realize that he had definitely transmigrated, and transmigrated to a world with extraordinary powers.


    Roger returned to his room excitedly to look for the breathing technique that had been passed down in his family.


    However, as soon as he stepped into the room, a memory belonging to the original body suddenly emerged in his mind.


    As the memories of his predecessor emerged in his mind, a Western magical world similar to The Lord of the Rings was reflected in Roger¡¯s mind.


    There were no magic spells that could explore the mysteries of the world here, and there was no combat energy that could reach the peak. There was only the breathing technique that had been developed to the extreme after hundreds of thousands of years.


    Although the breathing technique in this world was similar to what he had seen in Eastern myths, it was far more powerful.


    An omnipotent expert who had cultivated the breathing technique to the extreme could fly in the air just by relying on the power of his physical body.


    Even the stars in the endless starry sky would end up as toys in his hands. With the raise of his hand, he could collapse mountains, break seas, and crush the earth.


    Their lifespans far exceeded that of ordinary people, and their youth could last forever.

 Chapter 2

    The extraordinary power displayed in the memories of his predecessor made Roger¡¯s blood boil. He couldn¡¯t wait to find the breathing technique passed down by his ancestors and start cultivating.


    After that, Roger searched through his memories. He found memories related to the breathing technique passed down by his ancestors and some basic information about his predecessor.


    His predecessor had the same name as him. He was also Roger, from Cliff Town, Moro Province, the Os Empire, the Quinlan Continent.


    His father and mother had died in Broken Cliff Mountain Range when he was 15 years old.


    Ao was actually short for Auguste. He was an adventurer brought up by his father. He had the strength of a third-rank and had taken great care of him in the three years following his father¡¯s death.


    However, when he saw his predecessor¡¯s breathing technique and the dangers he might encounter in the early stages of cultivation, he decided to take it slow.


    In this world, if one wanted to cultivate the breathing technique, they had to wait until they were 18 years old before they could withstand the pressure brought by the cultivation of the breathing technique.


    In addition, no matter which breathing technique one wanted to master, one would need to use a certain type of body refining liquid to help them get started.


    Only by using body-tempering liquid as a supplement would the human body be able to withstand the immense channeling of energy supply and demand during the early stages of the breathing technique, as well as protect the various meridians and internal organs in the body.


    While looking through his memories, Roger recalled the things that he needed to pay attention to when practicing the breathing technique, and his boiling blood was instantly extinguished.


    For the past three years after his parents¡¯ death, he had been receiving support from Augustus, bolstered by some of his parents¡¯ inheritance.


    Moreover, he had also scrimped and lived frugally for the past three years. He did not dare to spend money recklessly, but the money he had left was still very little. It was only enough to buy two bottles of body-tempering liquid. After that, it would be very difficult for the money he had left to last him even a month.


    After taking out the money from the place where his predecessor had hidden it, Roger looked at the two gold coins and three silver coins in his hand and fell into deep thought.


    He didn¡¯t know if he should use his remaining money to buy some body-tempering liquid for cultivation, or use some knowledge from his previous life to earn some money in this world before cultivating.


    Faced with the dilemma of being a transcendent and living, Roger could not make a choice.


    Staring at the remaining money in his hands, Roger¡¯s eyes gradually became firm after a moment of contemplation.


    In this world where the strong were respected and an individual¡¯s strength could rival a country, money meant very little.


    If others learned that he was a weak, but resourceful man, he would be in trouble.


    He would only end up as a gold-laying goose, discarded when he runs out of his use.


    After making his decision, Roger immediately went outside to carry the meat of the armored-sword pufferfish back into the house. After locking the door, he headed toward the potion shop based on his memory.


    The things he saw and heard along the way were very exotic to him.


    He didn¡¯t know if the creatures in this world were this unique, or he was just a frog in the well.


    There were unicorns, single-horned wolves straddling three people, and the like.


    There were also people with pets on the road, but some of the pets were very abnormal in Roger¡¯s eyes.


    There was a red-skinned toad that was as tall as a person jumping around with its master on its back. There was also a big bat with a wingspan of at least three meters, which was being led by its master like a kite.


    Once it tried to change course, its master would throw a wind bullet at it, accurately hitting its head and stopping it from flying around.


    Roger could barely accept the reality in front of his eyes. What came next was a cylindrical creature that was at least three meters long and half a meter wide, looking like a maggot or earthworm.


    It lugged goods along like a massive, organic train, leaving Roger very shocked.


    At the same time, there were not only humanoids with different hair colors and pupils on the streets, but also beastmen with beast heads and human bodies, the shortest of whom was 1.8 meters tall.


    Roger was curious about this world. At the same time, he was looking forward to his journey in this world.


    Because Roger¡¯s house was relatively remote, almost on the outskirts of cliff town, Roger walked for nearly an hour before he reached the potion store located on the outskirts of the town center.


    However, a large part of the reason why he had taken such a long time was because he found everything new and interesting.


    The sign read ¡°Grimm¡¯s potion store.¡± Roger pushed open the wooden door and walked in.


    The interior of the shop differed from what he remembered. There was no welcoming lady, the boss was not a man in formal attire, and there were no shelves or display cases.


    The room was filled with all kinds of equipment that looked like a laboratory, as well as the medicine cabinet for old Eastern medicine. The owner was a little old man who was less than 1.6 meters tall and looked unkempt, as if he had not taken a bath for months.


    The little old man was in front of his workstation, constantly fiddling with something, not paying the slightest attention to Roger who had just entered.


    Out of courtesy, Roger did not dare disturb the little old man.


    He could only walk around the shop, looking left and right, while waiting for the little old man to finish his work.


    A few minutes later, after Roger had walked around the shop, he turned his head to look at the little old man. No one knew what the little old man had mixed in his hand, but the reagent began to bubble continuously.


    Then, to Roger¡¯s surprise, it exploded.


    Although its power was only comparable to the firecrackers they played with when they were young, the consequences were extremely huge.


    It made Roger suspect that the little old man did not know what he was doing. In an instant, a foul smell filled the entire shop, and at the same time, the little old man¡¯s face turned black.


    Just when the disgusted Roger almost ran out of the store, the little old man came back to his senses, took out a reagent from somewhere, and smashed it on the ground. Then, a cloud of white smoke rose and shrouded the entire shop.


    When the white smoke dissipated, the stench from before was instantly swept away. Roger, who was almost suffocated by the smell, hurriedly took in big gulps of fresh air.


    The little old man laughed happily and walked to Roger¡¯s side.


    ¡°Kid, what potion are you here for? I¡¯m busy, so tell me quickly.¡±


    Roger, who had slightly recovered, hurriedly said,


    ¡°I want to buy two bottles of body-tempering potions.¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s request, the little old man rummaged through his tattered robe and took out two small test-tube-sized, dark-green reagents.


    ¡°Here it is. It¡¯s usually priced at one gold coin per bottle. However, because of the failed experiment just now, you¡¯ve suffered a little, so I¡¯ll only charge you one gold coin and five silver coins.¡±


    The little old man¡¯s words made Roger¡¯s initial discomfort vanished. He hurriedly took out a gold coin and five silver coins, and exchanged them for two bottles of body tempering potions from the little old man.


    After taking the money, the little old man directly pushed Roger out of his shop. Then, after hanging up a ¡°closed¡± sign, he ran into the medicinal shop not far away.


    As for Roger, he carefully put the potions into his pocket and went straight home.


    He couldn¡¯t wait to go home and cultivate according to the breathing technique passed down from his ancestors.

 Chapter 3

    After returning home, Roger hurriedly searched for the breathing technique that was passed down from his ancestors from the place where he kept the books in his memory.


    However, when Roger opened the first page of the ancestral breathing technique and saw ¡°Monolith Breathing Technique¡± written on it, he felt slightly disappointed at the mundane name.


    He flipped to the second page, which contained information about the Monolith Breathing Technique.


    Monolith Breathing Technique.


    When trained to minor completion, one¡¯s physical body would have the strength of a thousand souls. During battle, the power of earth and stone would gather between the fists and feet, covering them with a layer of hard stone armor.


    Upon higher control of the technique, one¡¯s physical body would have the strength of 10000 souls. One could freely control the power of earth and stone for one¡¯s own use. During battle, one could produce a full-body armor of rock to protect oneself.


    Those who picked up on this technique within ten minutes would be considered geniuses.


    Those who took two hours for it would have an ordinary aptitude.


    Those who did not manage to cultivate it within five hours would not be able to cultivate the breathing technique and attain divine transcendence.


    Roger¡¯s blood started to boil.


    The Monolith breathing technique that had been passed down in his family was definitely not a top-notch breathing technique. It was probably not even considered an average breathing technique.


    However, if it could allow him to possess such power, then how powerful would the top breathing technique in this world be?!


    Roger realized that although his body was thin and weak, and it was unlikely for him to be a genius, he should at least have an ordinary level of aptitude.


    He took the breathing technique to the courtyard, memorized the body-tempering movements and the breathing technique, and drank the dark green body tempering liquid in one gulp.


    He stood on the empty space in the yard and began his first practice according to the Monolith breathing technique¡¯s movements and breathing frequency.


    Time passed by.


    With every movement, Roger felt pain all over his body, as if his bones were broken. With every breath, Roger felt like coughing, as if dust had entered his lungs.


    However, in order to possess extraordinary power, Roger endured all kinds of discomfort in his body and forced himself to continue practicing the monolith breathing technique¡¯s introductory chapter.


    Ten minutes had passed, and Roger was still cultivating non-stop, bolstered by the potions. After all, in his opinion, he was definitely not a genius.


    However, as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to successfully cultivate the breathing technique and step into the transcendent realm.


    However, as time passed, half an hour, an hour, and even two hours later, the effects of the potion started to decline. It wasn¡¯t enough for him to continue cultivating.


    Although Roger had a bad feeling about this, he still decided to give it a try.


    After all, he had come to this world with extraordinary powers and had seen all kinds of powerhouses with supreme powers. If he did not give it a try and step into the extraordinary realm, then what was the point of coming here? How could he be satisfied?


    With a stubborn thought, Roger drank the second bottle of potion in one gulp. Then, he continued to practice the introduction chapter of the Monolith breathing technique in the empty space in the courtyard.


    However, as time passed, Roger¡¯s heart slowly sank to the bottom.


    The third, fifth, and even sixth hours had already passed.


    At that moment, besides the unbearable pain all over his body and the feeling of his lungs almost exploding, Roger didn¡¯t feel the warm current with a heavy aura as described in the introduction chapter of the Monolith Breathing Technique.


    Roger¡¯s heart was filled with despair, and his eyes were sunken.


    To have him transmigrate to this world where the strong were respected and witness the profoundness of extraordinary techniques, but not be able to cultivate them. Fate was toying with him.


    Anger, unwillingness, and despair filled Roger¡¯s heart.


    Under the influence of these three extreme emotions, Roger¡¯s eyes were blood-red as he looked up and let out an angry roar.


    ¡°You had me come to this world to experience all the mysteries of this world!


    Yet, you¡¯re not allowing me to cultivate any extraordinary techniques. Why did you bring me into this world?


    Do you think it¡¯s so fun to see my anguish?¡±


    After a series of angry roars, he forcefully practiced the Monolith Breathing Technique for an hour without the protection of the potion. His body and his mood had deteriorated drastically.


    After the roar, Roger spat out a mouthful of blood, and his consciousness gradually blurred as he fainted.


    Blood began to ooze out of his pores, dyeing Roger¡¯s clothes red.


    In a daze, Roger felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss and couldn¡¯t reach the bottom even after a long time. He kept falling at an extreme speed in zero gravity.


    After an unknown period of time, Roger suddenly felt as if he had fallen into the water and was jolted awake.


    After Roger got up, he looked around at his surroundings in a daze.


    He found himself in a dark space.


    A crystal with dozens of sides was suspended in the center of the space, emitting a faint light that illuminated the area one meter away from it.


    Countless light spots of different colors, like fireflies, flew around the crystal, turning the entire crystal into a colorful light.


    In an unknown environment, Roger¡¯s first reaction was to think,


    ¡°Could it be that he had forcefully cultivated the Monolith breathing technique and died, then transmigrated?¡±


    However, as soon as this thought arose, Roger put it out himself.


    This was not a case of transmigration.


    If he had transmigrated again, then he should be in another unknown place now and not in this dark space.


    Since this was not a case of transmigration, the only possibility was that he had awakened a cheat like the protagonist in the novel.


    Roger quickly got up and shouted to his surroundings,


    ¡°System?¡±


    ¡°Old grandpa?¡±


    ¡°Elves?¡±


    ¡°God?¡±


    ¡°Is anyone there?¡±


    However, no matter how Roger shouted, there was no response. Even after shouting loudly in such an empty environment, there was no response.


    It was as if his voice had been swallowed by the surrounding darkness, frightening Roger.

 Chapter 4

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Roger, who did not hear any response from any living creature for a long time, grew a little flustered. Then, he began to slowly approach the crystal, the only source of light in the entire space.


    When Roger started to walk, the ground under his feet felt like solidified water. With each step, ripples would appear, but no sound was made.


    In such an environment, Roger grew even more terrified. He hurried to the crystal and felt the faint light emitted by the crystal to dispel the panic in his heart.


    After Roger calmed down from his nervousness and fear, he began to carefully observe the only two objects in this space.


    After observing the crystal and the light spot for an entire week, Roger couldn¡¯t see anything strange about it, except that it had 36 sides.


    It seemed like he wouldn¡¯t be able to find out the use of these things without putting them into practice.


    With this thought in mind, Roger slowly raised his left hand and shakily reached out to the crystal less than half a meter away from him.


    Just as Roger reached out to touch the crystal, the light spot that Roger had been avoiding quietly appeared on the path of Roger¡¯s palm.


    When a ball of red light flashed in front of his palm, Roger was about to withdraw his left hand.


    However, it was already too late. The moment the red light touched Roger¡¯s palm, it directly sunk into Roger¡¯s palm and into dozens of light spots in succession.


    Roger was terrified. He quickly took back his left hand and began to examine it carefully again and again to see if there were any changes after the red light entered his left palm.


    However, after examining it for a long time, Roger didn¡¯t feel any pain or any other strange feeling except for the warmth in his palm.


    Since his left palm was fine for the time being, the light spots should not be dangerous.


    Then, he raised his left hand, trying to test what the crystal was.


    However, just as Roger extended his left hand, he suddenly felt a swelling pain in his left arm. He also felt a warm energy gathering in his left palm.


    The sudden pain made Roger withdraw his left hand and use his right hand to press down on his left wrist, hoping to reduce the pain.


    However, the next scene made Roger act as if he had seen a ghost.


    In Roger¡¯s left palm, a small three-pointed star array that was emitting a faint red light suddenly appeared.


    At the same time, the heat in his palm seemed to have found a place to channel to, drilling frantically into the three-pointed star array.


    Then, a red fireball appeared in the three-pointed star formation.


    Moreover, streams of heat currents entered the three-pointed star array, causing the three-pointed star array and the fireball to rapidly expand.


    This strange scene caused Roger to fall into a stupor.


    The three-pointed star array and the fireball had expanded to the size of Roger¡¯s palm.


    When heat emitted by the fireball at such a close distance threatened to sear him, Roger subconsciously swung to the side, trying to throw the fireball out of his palm.


    However, no matter how hard Roger tried to shake it off, the fireball was stuck in his left palm like a plaster.


    As the fireball grew, Roger started regretting his actions. He should not have acted rashly without investigating the situation.


    Now, Roger only hoped that the fireball wouldn¡¯t blow up.


    With this thought in mind, Roger extended the fireball in his palm toward the dark void. He hoped that even if he guessed wrong, it would only kill him and not leave him half-dead, as that would not be very pleasant.


    The fireball had already expanded to the size of a basketball. Just as Roger thought that the fireball would continue to expand rapidly¡­


    The basketball-sized fireball suddenly shot toward the dark void. As it shot through the air, it grew larger and larger, and the color of the flame became redder and redder. It only slowly dissipated after flying at least a hundred meters away.


    The moment the fireball flew out, his eyes widened, and he gawked in surprise.


    The three-pointed star formation that had appeared in his palm earlier and the terrifying fireball that he had released were combined.


    Roger guessed that the red light that had fused into his palm before should be the fire element, and the other light spots should be the other elements.


    With this idea in mind, Roger began a bold experiment. However, Roger was only experimenting, not seeking death.


    Therefore, Roger only took one light spot of each color, and only touched the one that was isolated on its own to prevent the surrounding light spots from causing a chain reaction and merging into his body.


    After careful and repeated experiments, Roger finally touched all the light spots and confirmed the elements that each color represented.


    ¡°Not only are there ten common elements, such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, lightning, wind, light, and darkness, there are also the two supreme elements, space and time.


    There are also three-colored spots of light. Even I, a ten-year-long bookworm, can¡¯t recognize them.


    What is this space? How did I end up here?¡±


    The complete variety of elements and the three light spots with unknown abilities made Roger fall into deep thought.


    This dark space should be his cheat system, but other than crystals, there were all kinds of elements. There was not even a rodent.


    Not to mention finding a living creature and asking about the specific operation of this space.


    The only thing he could be sure of was that he must have obtained a power similar to that of a mage. He could absorb all kinds of elements into his body and then cast them with the help of a magic array.


    However, in this situation, knowing that this ball was useless was the fundamental problem.


    He could only continue exploring the matters of mages after he left this dark space and returned to reality.


    This kind of opening in an unknown space, where everything depended on his own guessing, really made Roger feel very confused.


    Roger thought about it for a moment, but he couldn¡¯t find any clues. He could only focus on the only two objects in the dark space.


    The light spots were now confirmed to be elements, but the crystal¡¯s use was still unknown.


    Roger found a good angle and confirmed that there would be no elemental light spots around him. Then, he got ready to touch the crystal again.


    At that moment, something strange happened again. When Roger¡¯s hand was only a few centimeters away from the crystal, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness sweep through his mind.


    Before Roger could react, he fell into darkness again.

 Chapter 5

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    On the empty ground in the yard, Roger, who had been bleeding all over because of the Monolith Breathing Technique, began to recover rapidly under the integration of the green and blue light spots.


    After more than ten minutes, Roger¡¯s body, internal organs, and meridians that had suffered injuries were completely healed by the green and blue light spots.


    After a few seconds of basking in the glow, Roger, who was lying on the ground, suddenly got up as if he just had a nightmare. He looked at the void in front of him in surprise and gasped for air.


    After Roger relaxed for a moment, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face.


    So, I have a transmigration hack too, and I¡¯m a mage who has a completely different cultivation system from this world.


    After the joy, Roger began to think of a way to communicate with the space just now. This was the foundation of his future in this world.


    However, after more than ten minutes, no matter how Roger called out, he did not enter that space again.


    While looking at the countless shimmering stars in the sky, Roger fell into deep thought.


    He didn¡¯t know if what he saw just now was a dream he had because he was eager to become stronger, or if he had really entered a space.


    If he had indeed entered that space, then why was there no response, no matter how he called out?


    However, if everything just now was a dream, he was still wearing clothes that were almost dyed red with blood, but he did not feel any pain.


    What he had just experienced would be his only chance to obtain extraordinary power, so he had to find a way to return to that space no matter what.


    Then, Roger began to recall the information about sorcerers in the novels, cartoons, and even TV series, hoping to find a way to enter that space again and obtain the extraordinary power of magic.


    After pondering for a moment, Roger suddenly thought of the reason why he couldn¡¯t enter that space.


    No matter what kind of mage¡¯s cultivation system was, the most fundamental thing was the method of meditation. He had just been calling out the names of various systems and gods in his mind.


    He had not entered that state at all, so how could he enter that space again and see magic elements and crystals?


    With this in mind, Roger immediately imitated the method explained in the novel. He sat cross-legged on the ground and tried to enter the condition of meditation, a clear state of mind.


    Roger was determined to enter a state of meditation and enter the space that could change his fate.


    With all the distracting thoughts in his mind, he was unable to enter the prerequisite of meditation, a clear state of mind.


    As time passed, Roger became more and more anxious, and he couldn¡¯t get into the right state. No matter what he did, he couldn¡¯t get rid of his distracting thoughts.


    When the bright moon hung high up in the sky, Roger, who was mentally exhausted, couldn¡¯t support himself mentally, even though his physical injuries had recovered.


    Just as he was about to fall asleep, light spots of different colors that emitted various fluctuations slowly appeared in Roger¡¯s perception.


    Roger, who was almost in a deep sleep, was immediately awakened.


    Although his eyes were closed, he could clearly sense everything that was happening in the outside world. Furthermore, within the range of his perception, all kinds of elemental powers were very active, forming groups around him and dancing around him.


    As for the crystal, it was attached to the space between his eyebrows, flickering with a faint fluorescent light.


    All of this made Roger extremely happy. He knew that what he had just seen was not a dream, and that it was real.


    Sensing the various elements dancing in the sky, Roger was extremely excited. He immediately prepared to absorb the elements into his body, just like he had done in the space earlier.


    Just as Roger was about to touch it with his hand like he did in that space, he suddenly realized that he was having an out-of-body experience.


    Not only could he not control his hands from touching the elements, but he could not even move his body.


    Roger was dumbfounded.


    Now, it was as if he was standing before a treasure house with endless treasures, but he did not have the key, so he could only stare at it. There was nothing he could do about the treasure house.


    Just as Roger was anxiously trying to figure out how to absorb the elements into his body¡­


    He suddenly had an idea, and he wanted to slap himself.


    He had indeed entered a clear state of mind, but he did not have the method of meditation, so how could he capture the magic elements?


    Although he knew the key to the problem, he didn¡¯t have the method of meditation at all. He needed a reference to draw a tiger from a cat!


    A mage¡¯s meditation technique was, at the end of the day, an attempt to visualize a certain object in their mind, and then achieve the goal of raising their spiritual power and sublimating it.


    As for the absorption of elements into the body, it was to use one¡¯s mental power as a net to absorb the external elements into the core of one¡¯s body. Then, with various magic arrays as the guide, they would be transformed into all kinds of magic.


    Although Roger didn¡¯t have any meditation techniques, he already had the prerequisites for it.


    After figuring out the fundamental principle of the meditation technique, Roger began to carry out the experiment according to the steps he had thought of.


    In the novels Roger had read in his previous life, the simplest and most concrete method of meditation was to visualize a light ball in the mind.


    Therefore, Roger began to visualize in his mind according to the steps and pictures introduced in his memory.


    Perhaps it was the effect of the crystal, or perhaps Roger was suitable for practicing magic, but in just a few minutes, he had visualized a fist-sized, round light ball that was emitting a faint light in his mind.


    The moment the ball of light took shape, Roger felt as if his spirit had been liberated, and he could extend it.


    At the same time, in the process of visualizing the light ball, his spiritual power was also slowly improving.


    The success of the light ball meditation technique made Roger extremely happy. He immediately extended his mind power to touch the elemental power that was flying around in the outside world.


    Roger¡¯s speed of capturing the elements was very slow, and he felt as if he was in the depths of the sea. Endless pressure prevented Roger¡¯s spiritual power from extending.


    In such a difficult environment, Roger¡¯s plan of capturing all the elements was instantly ruined. He could only capture a single element and conduct experiments.


    Therefore, Roger chose the fire element that he was most familiar with as his first target.


    Under such a difficult situation, Roger forcibly endured the pressure and caught more than a dozen fire elemental light spots. He then retracted his spiritual power because the pressure was starting to feel dangerous.


    After withdrawing his spiritual power, Roger sensed the fire element stored in his core and grew extremely excited.

 Chapter 6

    Just as Roger wanted to rest for a while before capturing the elements with the power of his will, his excited emotions ruined his clear state of mind, and he directly left the state of meditation.


    Even so, he wasn¡¯t unhappy at all.


    After all, he had already mastered the method of meditation. If he could enter it once, he could enter it a second time and a third time.


    He was finally looking forward to the future. He was ready to cast the fire spell that he had only cast in space in the real world.


    Roger carefully recalled the feeling of casting that fire magic in the space. He began to gradually mobilize the fire element energy in his core and gathered it in his palm.


    With the familiar swelling aches and heat gathering in his palm, a small three-pointed star array appeared in Roger¡¯s palm.


    Furthermore, wisps of heat waves continuously gathered in Roger¡¯s palm, forming a small, crimson fireball.


    While gazing upon the fireball and the magic array in his palm, Roger¡¯s eyes glimmered with hope.


    This would be the ladder to becoming a transcendent in the future, the ladder to the heavens.


    Then, he turned his palm to the ground, prepared to cut off the supply of fire elements and release the fireballs in the magic array to see how powerful they were in reality.


    However, when Roger tried to cut off the supply of fire elements, he found that no matter how much he tried to guide it with his mental strength, he could not cut off the supply of fire elements.


    Furthermore, his mental strength was also rapidly being merged into the magic array.


    Roger started panicking. He had read countless novels, and he knew that once his spiritual power was exhausted, he would at least end up in a vegetative state.


    However, before Roger could think of a way to stop his will from merging with the magic array, he started weakening due to the rapid draining of his power, and a sense of dizziness struck him.


    In addition, Roger¡¯s mind was already exhausted. Not only did he bear the pressure to capture the fire elements, but his already tired mind was also awakened.


    As soon as the dizziness and weakness kicked in, Roger¡¯s strength gave out and he fell to the ground.


    The fireball in his palm shot out at high speed the moment Roge rtouched the ground. His palm faced the sky.


    Furthermore, after the fireballs were shot out, they continued to absorb the surrounding fire elements that were drifting in the air. Their intensity only grew, and their speed also increased.


    It only exploded when it flew into the clouds, engulfing everything within a hundred meters.


    The flames in the dark night sky and the sound of explosions made the residents of the town, who were still resting, stick their heads out of their windows to observe the situation.


    When they realized that it was the sound and the fire from the sky, all the residents immediately retracted their heads, closed their doors and windows, and did not dare to look out.


    In this world where the strong ruled over everything, powerless commoners like them knew what they should and shouldn¡¯t see.


    Anyone who did not understand this rule would have been thrown into the mass grave to be fed to the carrion-eating crows and wolves.


    The bright moon receded, and the great sun rose from the east.


    The next day at noon, the blazing sun shone on Roger¡¯s face.


    Roger, who had been unconscious for more than ten hours, finally woke up in a daze.


    Roger, who had just woken up, glanced around blankly and abruptly slapped himself hard.


    The stinging pain on his cheek woke him up instantly. After feeling his heartbeat and pulse in a panic, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Then, he felt terrified. He regretted his actions last night.


    He already knew that he could use the meditation technique to collect fire elements and store them in his core.


    When his mental strength was weak and forced out of meditation, instead of resting and recuperating, he had forcefully used magic. It was truly a suicidal act.


    Fortunately, at the last critical moment, his body¡¯s defense mechanism automatically stopped the process before it was too late, causing him to fall into a coma.


    Otherwise, if his spiritual energy had been sucked away by the magic array last night, he would either be in a vegetative state or would have gone down to report to the grim reaper of this world.


    After sitting on the ground for a while, Roger slowly stood up, driven by his hunger, and walked toward the kitchen.


    However, after entering the kitchen, Roger realized that there was nothing to eat except for a few steamed buns in the pot. Even the vegetables looked like cabbage.


    Roger, who was really hungry, took a few bites of the cold steamed bun in the pot.


    After slightly suppressing the hunger in his stomach, he pulled himself together.


    He looked at the armored-sword pufferfish meat on the chopping board, as well as a red vegetable that looked like Chinese cabbage.


    As Roger ate the cold steamed bun, he began to cook with some of his fire magic.


    An hour later, Roger, who had eaten so much that his food was almost in his throat, put down his bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction.


    Then, he thought about whether he should continue to cultivate.


    When Roger saw the reflection of the water in the bowl, as if he had been sucked dry by a female ghost, he instantly gave up the idea of practicing meditation.


    He felt that it was better for him to rest for a while and not cause any more trouble.


    In any case, everything was in his mind, and they would not be running anytime soon. If he made a mistake during meditation due to physical reasons, it would be too late for him to regret it.


    After eating and drinking to his heart¡¯s content, Roger did not feel like going out.


    Although he had all of his predecessor¡¯s memories in his mind, they were only memories after all. He had only transmigrated for a day. If he met someone familiar with his predecessor while he was outside and they saw something off, he would really die.


    At the same time, Roger¡¯s mental state was not very good. It was dangerous to go out, so it was impossible for anyone to notice anything strange if he slept at home.


    However, Roger did not expect to sleep for more than a day.

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The sun and moon rotated, and the stars flashed by.


    A day passed by in a flash. In the mud house, Roger slowly woke up, driven by hunger.


    Roger, who had just gotten up, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky outside the window and felt the hunger in his stomach. His face was full of doubts.


    Didn¡¯t I just finish my meal?


    Why did he feel so hungry after sleeping for a while?


    Had his appetite increased after cultivating?


    However, as soon as these questions appeared in Roger¡¯s mind, they were immediately overturned by him.


    The meditation technique would at only exhaust one¡¯s spirit, but it shouldn¡¯t have the effect of making one a glutton.


    After all, the meditation technique was to increase one¡¯s spiritual power, not to train one¡¯s body. It was possible that one would need to eat a lot to obtain nutrients from the food.


    In that case, if he had not eaten so much, then he must have slept for who knows how many days. The food in his stomach had all been digested, causing him to wake up from hunger.


    However, without a timer, Roger had no clue how many days he had been unconscious for, and he didn¡¯t dare to ask anyone.


    Roger, who couldn¡¯t figure it out, simply threw this question to the back of his mind. After all, there was no point in knowing that a few days had passed since it was already in the past.


    He went to the kitchen to start a fire and chopped up the remaining half of the red cabbage he had cooked last time. He also cut up a lot of the armored-sword pufferfish¡¯s meat and made a large pot of food.


    After eating and drinking to his heart¡¯s content, Roger realized he should not have slept for too long. The cabbage was not too stale. At most, he had slept for slightly over a day.


    Roger looked at the reflection in the clear water and saw that his handsome face had returned to normal. He knew that it was time to start practicing the meditation technique.


    He sat cross-legged on the empty ground and began to use the light sphere meditation technique, visualizing the light sphere in his mind.


    Roger, who had already experienced it once, cast away all the distracting thoughts in his mind in just a few minutes and entered a clear state of mind. He visualized the crystal between his eyebrows and the elemental light spots flying all over the sky.


    Having learned his lesson, Roger knew that capturing elemental light spots would consume mental strength.


    Therefore, after Roger saw the elemental light spots, he didn¡¯t extend his spiritual power to capture them. Instead, he maintained the meditation and slowly increased his spiritual power.


    However, after Roger meditated for a while, he found that the speed of his spiritual power¡¯s growth was extremely slow. It was like a drop of water trying to enter a sea. There was no visible improvement at all.


    After a few hours of meditation, his spiritual power had increased by 0.001%.


    After that, Roger exited the meditation technique and began to search through the meditation techniques in his memory to see if there were any safer and more powerful meditation techniques that could aid him.


    However, the meditation techniques in the countless novels he had read were as numerous as the stars in the sky. There were countless high-level and low-level meditation techniques.


    Without a good way to identify them, Roger could only choose a safer meditation method that was more in line with his current situation and attempt it.


    This attempt took several days.


    Over the next few days, Roger had experimented with so many meditation methods that even he himself couldn¡¯t remember his own actions. Good, bad, useful, useless, he tried them all.


    Hard work paid off. Five days later, Roger finally found the safest and most suitable meditation method for his current situation.


    He visualized a bright moon in the sky in his mind.


    The combination of the two was the bright moon meditation technique. Not only did it increase his mental strength at a rapid speed, but it also reached the point where he could increase his mental strength by one-tenth in an hour of meditation.


    He had originally needed more than ten minutes to capture a dozen elemental light spots, but now he only needed to visualize the moon in the sky.


    Then, his entire person would become a black hole, constantly attracting all kinds of elements that were drifting in the surrounding heaven and earth into his body.


    However, nothing was perfect. The powerful Bright Moon Meditation Technique had something that could be considered a flaw, yet not entirely one.


    He could only cultivate for three hours at midnight, when the moon had risen to the center of the sky.


    The effects of cultivating the Bright Moon Meditation technique at other times, even at midnight, would not come even close to its peak.


    Roger only practiced for three hours at midnight every day. He spent the rest of his time experimenting and studying all kinds of magic.


    Researching the combinations of distinct elements and creating new spells every day made Roger feel extremely accomplished.


    Just like that, Roger spent a month in research and meditation.


    During this period, apart from going out to buy groceries a few times, only Auguste came to him and gave him some savage beast meat. He left after a few words with him.


    With the bright moon hanging in the sky, Roger sat cross-legged in the courtyard, facing the sky. It was unknown if it was because he was cultivating the bright moon Meditation technique.


    The moonlight around Roger seemed to be denser than the surrounding area. Under the moonlight, Roger looked like a banished immortal descending to the world, making people afraid to look at him.


    Three hours passed by in the blink of an eye. Roger also dispersed his mind and stopped meditating after visualizing the picture of the bright moon in the sky.


    ¡°Recently, it¡¯s been getting harder and harder to cultivate the Bright Moon Meditation Technique, and my spiritual force hasn¡¯t even increased by one percent.¡±


    It seemed that he had reached the so-called bottleneck mentioned in the novels.


    Even my techniques are half-baked experimental results. How would I know how to break through this bottleneck!¡±


    Rogernow had three times the spiritual power that he had before.


    The elements of various attributes had already gathered in his core, forming a colorful lake of elements.


    Although he did not know where he stood in this world, he was still very confident.


    However, Roger had been performing experiments on various elemental spells and observing Augustus, who had the power of a 3rd rank.


    Roger believed that as long as he was prepared, he would be able to kill a 3rd rank expert like Augustus in a few moves.


    After thinking hard for a moment, Roger decided upon two ideas to break through the bottleneck from those novels.


    One option was to continue cultivating the Bright Moon Meditation Technique and slowly work his way up. When it reached the point where it would overflow, he would be able to break through to a new level.


    The other was to go out and experience the world and break through in a life and death situation.


    Originally, out of safety considerations, Roger had wanted to play it safe.


    However, he only had five copper coins left, so he had to go out and try his luck.


    Although he could rely on Augustus¡¯s support to continue developing, it was much too slow.


    Roger was not willing to do so. After all, he already had the power to protect himself. He was no longer a weak and thin young man who had just transmigrated.


    If Roger had not become a mage, he would have had to accept Auguste¡¯s financial aid and use some knowledge from his previous life to earn money that would allow him to live without worries for the rest of his life. After that, he would have to live in fear every day, not knowing when he would be killed.


    However, he had awakened the power of magic and possessed extraordinary powers. He was no longer content with being ordinary, and he wanted to see the outside world.


    Therefore, Roger decided to go out and gain experience, looking for an opportunity to break through between life and death. This way, his trip to the other world would not have been in vain.

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The first rays of the morning sun shone on Roger¡¯s simple house.


    Roger, who had already packed his luggage, locked the door and windows, and walked toward the destination of this training, the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    Even though he was on foot, he was traveling rapidly. In less than a minute, he had already covered hundreds of meters.


    Half an hour later, Roger arrived at an entrance to the mountain range. Thousands of people entered and exited the mountain range every day, so over time, it had become a simple and crude temporary encampment.


    As soon as Roger stepped into the market, the sounds of people selling medicinal herbs and savage beast materials echoed in his ears.


    ¡°Don¡¯t miss out on this opportunity! The armored-sword pufferfish meat is very fresh, and it was still breathing less than two hours ago. Come and see, come and buy!¡±


    ¡°Good luck with the opening of the Cursley potion shop!


    All kinds of potions are available, cheap, and of high quality. Those who need it, come and buy it!


    There¡¯s a discount for large quantities!¡±


    ¡°The Hill Maiden¡¯s Chamber of Commerce is here to purchase savage beast materials, beast cores, and medicinal herbs.


    The Chamber of Commerce guarantees that the price will be fair and will not deceive anyone!¡±


    As Roger stood in the trading area, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood when he was in a village and strolling in a big market. It was very lively.


    When Roger passed by various stalls and shops, there were still people calling him over.


    However, Roger, who only had five copper coins in his pocket, was too embarrassed to enter. He could only turn down the other party¡¯s kindness and quickly pass through the trading area.


    The entire temporary base in front of the Broken Cliff Mountain Range was divided into two parts.


    One part was the trading area that they had just passed through, and the other part was the second half of the temporary base, where major adventurer teams, treasure-hunting teams, and solo players rested.


    Every day, new people were coming to this temporary base at the entrance of the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    Therefore, the hundreds of adventurer teams and treasure-hunting teams that were stationed here to rest specially assigned people to recruit for their causes at the entrance every day.


    The newbies who came to this place only had two choices:


    The first was to join these adventurer teams. The treasure-hunting team would receive a fixed commission and enter the cliff mountains to search for various resources.


    The advantage of this was that the danger factor was not very high. It was suitable for newcomers who were not very strong to get through the awkward phase and increase their knowledge and actual combat experience.


    If they felt that they were strong enough, they could tell the leader that they wanted to leave the team.


    They would not be hunted down or ostracized like it was in cliche novels.


    The second option was to refuse to join them and become an unspecialized.


    Those who came to the Broken Cliff Mountain Range and chose to become unspecialized were either powerful, or simply did not need to cooperate with others.


    They either had companions or hired other people.


    The advantage of this was that they had a high degree of freedom, and everything they obtained would belong to them.


    But if one didn¡¯t have strength or companions and chose to be an unspecialized, entering the Broken Cliff Mountain range was basically courting death.


    As for Roger, he could only choose to become an unspecialized. There was no other possibility.


    After all, he was a mage and something this world had never seen.


    If someone found out that he was cultivating a different cultivation system, he would only draw unneeded attention to himself.


    He was still weak. What awaited him was the pursuit of major forces who would dissect and research on him.


    Just as Roger was about to pass through this place and enter the Broken Cliff Mountain Range, a person who saw that Roger was alone and was a new face, quickly walked up to Roger and invited him to join his team.


    ¡°Little brother, you just came of age this year, right?


    From your appearance, you¡¯re preparing to enter the Broken Cliff Mountain Range to train, right?


    It¡¯s very dangerous to enter the mountain range alone, especially for a newcomer like you. You may lose your life at any time.


    Do you want to consider joining our rock-cutting adventurer team?


    Our team has three members at the 3rd rank, and the leader is a powerhouse at the 4th rank.


    The monthly salary of new members would be one gold coin.


    We¡¯ll even provide you with food and accommodation. How¡¯s that? Are you interested?¡±


    While looking at the red-haired man who was trying his best to promote his team like a pimp, Roger¡¯s mouth twitched. He said to the red-haired man,


    ¡°Uncle, there¡¯s no need. I¡¯m pretty strong, I can do it alone.¡±


    However, when the red-haired man heard Roger¡¯s words, his originally smiling expression immediately changed, and he roared at Roger angrily,


    ¡°Hey, brat, I¡¯m only 22 years old this year, and you¡¯re calling me uncle? Are you blind?¡±


    The red-haired young man¡¯s words made Roger¡¯s heart sink.


    He looked at the red-haired man who had a full beard, a body that was comparable to a bodybuilding champion, and several wrinkles on his brows.


    No matter how Roger looked at it, he couldn¡¯t see a 22-year-old youth.


    The red-haired young man seemed to have seen through Roger¡¯s thoughts. His originally angry expression quickly sagged, and he said to Roger with a dejected look,


    ¡°It¡¯s only because I rushed through my training, and because of my breathing technique.¡±


    After that, he no longer paid attention to Roger, as if he had suffered a major blow, and directly returned to his original position.


    Roger was about to walk over and comfort him.


    However, just as Roger was about to take action, the red-haired man, who looked depressed, was instantly revived after seeing another newcomer. He set off again with the same smile as before.


    Roger was surprised.


    However, that surprise only lasted for a moment before he threw it to the back of his mind and set off for the Broken Cliff Mountain Range again.


    After Roger had walked for a short distance, a mature woman with icy blue hair and a voluptuous figure blocked his path.


    ¡°Little brother, wait a moment.¡±


    The beauty who suddenly appeared and called out to him made Roger very confused.


    ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The mature lady heard Roger¡¯s question and replied in a gentle tone,


    ¡°Little brother, seeing that you¡¯re alone, do you want to join our team?


    Our team is pretty strong.


    There are even quite a few beautiful ladies among them.¡±


    Roger looked in the direction that the mature lady was pointing at and saw two beautiful women whose looks and figures were not inferior to the one in front of him.


    However, Roger only glanced at them and said to the mature lady,


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I think it¡¯s better to be alone. Thank you for your kindness.¡±


    After saying that, he walked around the beauty and entered the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    After Roger left, the mature woman revealed a playful smile.


    At this moment, the party members of the mature lady came to her side.


    One of the red-haired, red-eyed beauties teased the mature lady,


    ¡°The capital¡¯s famous beauty, Lan Bingling, known for turning down suitors daily, is suddenly interested in a poor boy?


    You even invited him to our party. What¡¯s going on here?¡±


    The red-haired beauty¡¯s teasing made Lan Bingling roll her eyes. She then explained,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Be careful, or I¡¯ll freeze you into a popsicle and leave you here for a day.¡±


    Just as Huo Li ¡®er was about to continue teasing her, the yellow-haired beauty piped up.,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, that¡¯s enough. We¡¯ve been together for so many years, don¡¯t you know what Lan Bingling is like?


    She must have seen something. There must be something strange about that boy. She would never talk to such a strange boy on her own.¡±

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Huo Li ¡®er seemed to be afraid of the yellow-haired beauty as she waved her hand and said,


    ¡°I know, Sister Kasri. I was just joking. You don¡¯t have to take it so seriously.¡±


    Lan Bingling looked at Roger¡¯s retreating back as he disappeared into the mountain range. She said to the two people behind her,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, Sister Kasri, you know me well.


    I felt it from that kid just now. He had the ability to kill me in an instant.


    However, he should have only started practicing the breathing technique this year. No matter how talented he was, he shouldn¡¯t be able to instantly kill me, a 2nd rank.


    I had to ask him and find out what was going on.¡±


    Lan Bingling¡¯s words immediately piqued Huo Li ¡®er and Kasri¡¯s interest. One must know that Lan Bingling was born with the ability to sense danger.


    In addition, after cultivating her family¡¯s inherited Ice Crystal Breathing Technique, her perception ability had been greatly improved. Even the Wind Spirit breathing technique¡¯s cultivators who were famous for their perception ability were far inferior to Lan Bingling¡¯s perception ability.


    Kasri walked to Lan Bingling¡¯s side and also looked in the direction that Roger had left. She said to Lan Bingling,


    ¡°Bingling, according to what you said, that brat¡¯s strength is at least at the peak of the third step. Only then would he have the ability to kill you in an instant.


    However, he is only 18 years old.


    It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen such a strange combination in so many years.¡±


    At that moment, Huo Li ¡®er walked quickly to the two of them and said,


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we hurry up and chase after him? We might be able to catch up if we go now.


    In the face of the anxious Huo Li ¡®er, Kasri shook her head. Under Huo Li¡¯ er¡¯s doubtful gaze, she said,


    ¡°We can¡¯t chase after him. If he can kill Lan Bingling, who has the strongest life-preservation ability among us, in an instant, we definitely can¡¯t go after him.


    It¡¯s nothing short of suicide.¡±


    In the Broken Cliff Mountain Rage, common law did not exist. No family could act in revenge.


    This iron-clad rule had been personally issued by the First King.


    If conflicts ever arose, they were only allowed to fight head-on. Also, the heaven reaching mirror had the ability to reverse space-time to track them down, so the major families had to exercise restraint.


    However, it¡¯s not like there¡¯s no way to avoid the heavenly mirror¡¯s tracking.


    Kasri¡¯s words caused Huo Li ¡®er to calm down in an instant. She then asked Kasri,


    ¡°Then, Sister Kasri, are we still going to enter the mountain range?¡±


    When Kasri heard Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s question, she answered her without any hesitation,


    ¡°We have to go in.


    Only by entering the Broken Cliff Mountain Range and obtaining the Lingzhi grass protected by a third rank savage beast, the giant desolate crocodile, can you and I escape the fate of being forced into marriages by our family.


    Otherwise, I would rather die than marry that disgusting waste.¡±


    She then turned around and said to Lan Bingling,


    ¡°Bingling, Huo Li ¡®er and I had no choice but to enter the Broken Cliff Mountain Range. You¡¯re only accompanying us here.


    As long as you become the clan leader, you won¡¯t have to worry like us.


    So, you should go back. If we die in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range this time, you must live well for us.¡±


    However, Lan Bingling only smiled at Kasri¡¯s persuasion. She patted her shoulder and walked past the two of them. Then, she said in an indifferent tone,


    ¡°I¡¯m not willing to live for the two of you. I¡¯m already carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders, so don¡¯t you two think about adding more to it.¡±


    I only have the two of you as my friends. If you leave, I¡¯ll be left to live alone in this world. What¡¯s the point?


    Lan Bingling only thought about the last sentence in her heart and didn¡¯t say it out loud.


    As for Huo Li ¡®er and Kasri, their eyes were slightly red as they looked at Lan Bingling¡¯s back.


    They knew that the one in the most precarious position wasn¡¯t the two of them, but Lan Bingling.


    However, for the sake of the two of them, Lan Bingling still entered the Broken Cliff Mountain Range with them without any hesitation. Even the usually carefree Huo Li ¡®er instantly feel a stream of water slowly flowing down her face.


    After that, Kasri and Huo Li ¡®er looked at each other and wiped the tears from the corner of their eyes. They quickly chased after Lan Bingling¡¯s back.


    At the same time, she made up her mind that as long as the two of them were not dead, she would never let anyone hurt Lan Bingling.


    Roger, who had entered the Broken Cliff Mountain Range first, did not want anyone to find out that he was using magic.


    At that moment, he was heading deeper into the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    As the Broken Cliff Mountain Range was not large, every year, the Black Feather Knights of the Empire would enter it to train their soldiers and kill high-level savage beasts at the same time.


    As a result, the highest level of savage beasts in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range was only at the fourth rank, and there were only a few of them.


    Therefore, the Broken Cliff Mountain Range was known as one of the three major training grounds for newbies in the Empire. Every year, countless newbies who had just mastered the breathing technique would enter it to train their combat ability.


    Roger did not know how long he had been walking, but he felt that he had entered the depths of the Mountain Range.


    Roger immediately released his wind magic-wind perception. After confirming that there were only a few savage beasts in the surrounding area, he stopped and decided to start hunting.


    Just as Roger stopped and was about to choose a savage beast to hunt, three first-rank savage beasts with the body of a mouse and spikes like a hedgehog, the Spiky Rat, discovered him.


    They seemed to harbor some deep hatred for Roger. Their spikes instantly shot out, and with a roar, they quickly attacked Roger.


    After learning from his memory that the spikes on the back of the Spike Rats could be fired like arrows, Roger immediately cast some water magic, Water Curtain, and covered himself in a layer of protective water curtain.


    The spikes shot out, as expected.


    When they reached him, they crouched down and fired their spikes at him.


    However, these flying spikes did not even cause a ripple on the water screen before they were deflected to the ground.


    When they saw how powerless their attacks were, they quickly turned tail and ran.


    However, was Roger someone they could offend just because they wanted to?


    With a wave of his hand, Roger turned the water curtain that enveloped him into three ice arrows, which directly nailed the three spike rats to the ground.


    The death of the three spike rats was just the appetizer for Roger¡¯s journey. The second and third-rank savage beasts were the main course for Roger.

 Chapter 10

    After killing the three Spike Rats, Roger dispelled the ice arrows that were stuck on the three Spike Rats and threw them into a depression on the ground.


    He casually threw a fireball at the three spike rats, summoning a breeze and bringing the smell of the roasted spike rats to the surroundings.


    Roger jumped onto a big tree and hid himself with the help of the dense leaves and branches, waiting for his prey to take the bait.


    Only the beast core of the Spiky Rat could be used, and the other parts of its body could not be used.


    The spikes of the Spiky Rat would soften immediately after its death, and its flesh would turn slightly sour, making it inedible.


    Therefore, Roger thought that instead of taking the heart-stone of the spike rat out of its forehead, it would be better to barbecue three Spike Rats and use their fragrance to attract a few high-level savage beasts.


    It was just as Roger had expected.


    A few minutes later, the first hungry savage beast was attracted to it.


    It was a second-rank savage beast, Armored Pig, covered in scales, with two long, sharp fangs. It looked like a wild boar. It wriggled its nose and followed the scent of the Spiky Rat¡¯s meat. It walked out of the bushes while looking around vigilantly.


    Roger immediately used the wind magic, Breath Control, to hide his aura. Then, he used the wind magic, Wind Wall, to isolate the smell of blood and the smell of roasted meat within a 100-meter radius for a while.


    This was to prevent the other beasts from swarming in. At that time, he wouldn¡¯t be able to kill them all, even if he exhausted his magic power.


    After everything was ready, Roger began to slide down slowly from the tree, quietly approaching the Armored Pig that was working hard. After he was about ten meters away, he quickly cast the wood element spell, Vine Imprisonment, and the wood element spell, Paralyzing Flower.


    In an instant, the hundred-year-old tree next to the pig seemed to come to life. It quickly grew and shot toward the pig.


    The Armored Pig had not let its guard down when it was eating, it had already noticed the vines when they attacked and dodged them. However, the vines that were wrapped around the trees could be counted in the hundreds.


    The Armored Pig only had its sturdiness going for it. It was only quick in a single direction.


    It was quickly caught by the countless vines.


    Wood-elemental spell, Vine Imprisonment. After successfully capturing the Armored Pig, the Paralyzing Flower immediately took effect.


    Several purple flowers bloomed on the vines that restrained the Armored Pig.


    After the flowers bloomed, countless pollen grains were produced from the Demonic Flowers, and they entered the mouth and nose of the struggling Armored Pig.


    In just a minute, the pig¡¯s struggles weakened. In the end, it stopped struggling and was wrapped up like a dumpling by the vines, hanging between two big trees.


    Roger, who had prepared two frost swords in his hands, was stunned.


    He had originally only hoped that wood magic could slow the Armored Pig down. He would still have to finish the job.


    However, he didn¡¯t expect that the two wood magic spells, which didn¡¯t use much mana, had already taken care of the Armored Pig before he could even make a move.


    Roger felt both helpless and happy. He felt helpless about how little effort he had to put in.


    He was overjoyed because he had just discovered that using wood element magic in the forest would be enhanced to a certain extent.


    From the looks of it, the power of his magic was not constant. It would be amplified to a certain extent depending on the environment.


    This unexpected discovery could be considered an unexpected result of Roger¡¯s first official hunt.


    When he was certain that the pig was unconscious, Roger dispersed his magic. He used the power of wind and sent the Armored Pig into the pit where he had roasted the Spiked Rats.


    The Armored Pig¡¯s mouth was really big. The three Spike Rats were at most 30 pounds each. It took about three to four minutes for the Armored Pig to start eating and for Roger to activate his magic.


    However, the three spiky rats had already been gnawed away by the armored pig. Only some residue remained in the hollow.


    Without the three spike rats as bait, he could only use the armored pig as bait to lure the other savage beasts.


    He used the same method to set fire, get some wind, hide, wait for the savage beast to come, kill it in real combat, and set up the bait.


    This series of operations continued until the sun set. Roger had killed four second-rank savage beasts and more than a dozen first-rank savage beasts.


    After leaving the food for the night, Roger burned all the savage beasts¡¯ corpses that he had killed that day into ashes. He then controlled the wind to blow them back into the forest.


    After all, he had watched a few episodes of it before. Bear Gryllis was a man who survived in the wilderness. If he left these savage beast corpses behind, he would attract hungry wolves or other carnivorous nocturnal creatures. Then, he would not be able to sleep tonight.


    After everything was settled, Roger quickly climbed up a hundred-year-old tree. After choosing a wide trunk, he sat on it and ate his food, reflecting on the hunting process today.


    Today, he had hunted four second-rank savage beasts and more than ten first-rank savage beasts. Most of them were land beasts, but one of them was a second-rank Storm Falcon.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that after discovering the Storm Falcon, he had promptly used wood magic to weave a large net to seal off the Storm Falcon¡¯s escape route and shot through its wings with an ice arrow, the Storm Falcon would have probably escaped.


    As for the dozen first-rank savage beasts, they were all Spike Rats, and they had come in batches.


    If he had not maintained the water screen after seeing the Spiky Rats, he would have been turned into a pincushion in no time.


    After a day of hunting, Roger realized that although he was good at long-range and control magic, he was a mess at close-range magic.


    On one hand, Roger had never learned any close-combat skills like swordsmanship. On the other hand, Roger had a frail body, and there was no point learning such skills in the first place.


    In order to make up for his weaknesses, Roger began to think about the memories related to physical training magic in his memory.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    As Roger was lost in thought, countless memories related to body training appeared in his mind. Roger began to choose a body training method that was suitable for his current situation.


    However, as Roger flipped through the memories, he realized that there was no suitable body-tempering technique for him.


    There were three types of body-tempering techniques.


    One was to rely on external stimulation to increase the strength of the body.


    The second was to use lightning magic to stimulate the body and achieve the goal of improving the physical fitness.


    The third was to use medicine and secret techniques to increase the strength of the body.


    Roger didn¡¯t even consider the first and second option. At his current physical fitness, he couldn¡¯t use either method.


    Without a detailed method, Roger did not dare to randomly experiment with one and two. It would be fine if his progress was slow, but if he forced it, his current body might be crippled.


    Although the possibility of the third method was higher, he didn¡¯t know anything about the medicinal herbs in this world. If he wanted to use the third method, he had to go through systematic learning first before he could succeed.


    However, by the time he finished his systematic learning and reached the level where he could concoct medicine, he might not be far from becoming an omnipotent expert. By then, the medicine he had developed would be useless.


    Roger thought for a moment and found that none of the three methods would work, so he put aside his body training and set breaking through the current bottleneck as his primary goal.


    After all, this world relied on the unique breathing technique as its foundation. In the tens of thousands of years of development, there must have been a way for frail and weak people to cultivate breathing techniques.


    As long as his strength reached a level where he could stand shoulder to shoulder with omnipotent experts, he would be able to exchange for the medicinal formulas or body-tempering techniques passed down by the top families and the royal family of the Empire.


    After thinking it through, Roger immediately began to think about how to break through the current bottleneck and reach another realm.


    While Roger was thinking, a huge black wolf approached him. It had reached third-rank, was three meters long and two meters tall, and seemed to have merged with the darkness. It quietly came to the big tree Roger was under.


    After carefully sniffing at the tree, it seemed to confirm something. It face revealed an angry snarl, and after taking a few steps back, it ran toward the tree at top speed.


    With the help of the momentum from the run and its steel-like skull, the big tree Roger was on was directly broken by the black wolf.


    On the tree, Roger, who was deep in thought, was startled the moment the tree was hit.


    Although he didn¡¯t know why the tree was falling, his frail body would not survive such an impact.


    Therefore, the moment the tree fell, Roger jumped. After casting the water curtain to protect his body, he jumped toward the open space on the ground.


    Just as Roger jumped down from the tree and was in mid-air, he suddenly found that a giant black wolf had suddenly appeared on the ground where he had landed. It was a third-rank.


    After the black wolf appeared, it glared at Roger with a face full of anger. For some reason, it harbored deep animosity. It ignored the falling tree behind Roger and directly jumped up to bite him.


    Seeing this, Roger hurriedly used wood-elemental magic to condense a vine and wrapped it around another big tree.


    Just as the black wolf was about to bite him, he used the elasticity of the vines to reel him over to the trunk of another big tree.


    The black wolf stood firm and immediately rushed toward the tree Roger was standing on. It was ready to use the same trick to break the tree Roger was standing on.


    Roger looked at the black wolf who was being unreasonable, and grew enraged.


    He was sitting on the tree and thinking about his future, but crazy wolf was doggedly trying to kill him. Wasn¡¯t this too much?


    Roger jumped off the big tree before the black wolf hit it.


    The moment the black wolf crashed into the tree, it stopped firmly in the open space.


    When the black wolf saw Roger, it jumped from the big tree to the open space. It roared ferociously and bit at Roger.


    Roger burned with anger.


    He then used earth magic to form a set of rock-hard, spiky armor around himself.


    He used wind magic to reduce his weight and enhance his speed.


    Finally, he used metal magic to form a weapon. After creating a halberd, under the amplification of the magic, he attacked the black wolf that was biting at him with extreme speed.


    He was prepared to let this wolf know that the consequences of provoking him could only be paid with its life.


    In the blink of an eye, the black wolf and Roger collided, and the two sides began to fight at an extreme speed.


    There was a reason why he had chosen to engage in close combat and not from range.


    This was his first ever third-rank encounter. He didn¡¯t want to give up this opportunity to experiment about.


    In addition, he was confident that his earth armor and wind enhancement could keep him safe. This beast would not break through his defenses anytime soon.


    That was why Roger chose to fight the black wolf in close combat.


    It had to be said that this wolf¡¯s strength had reached the third rank in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range because it had experienced countless life and death battles.


    It had much more combat experience than Rogge. After fighting with it for more than ten minutes, Roger still couldn¡¯t find any openings. He could only hold his own.


    Because of Roger¡¯s weapons and armor, after more than ten minutes, although Roger, who did not have much combat experience was struck several times by the black wolf, only had some chinks in his armor to show for it.


    Although the wolf had only been hit three times, it was already bleeding from the head, and two long wounds had appeared on his body.


    The wolf had realized that it was being outmatched. It immediately turned around and wanted to escape.


    When Roger saw the change in its expression, he knew that it was probably going to run.


    He watched it carefully. The moment the black wolf spun around, he directly used the wood spell, Vine Imprisonment, to leave it hanging in the air.


    As it struggled in the air, Roger made his move. He circled his prey and skewered its head. A roar was heard.

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When the wolf was no longer struggling, Roger waited for a moment before releasing the magic that bound the black wolf, just to be safe, and let it fall heavily to the ground.


    He slowly walked to the black wolf¡¯s side and used the halberd to stab the black wolf¡¯s body a few more times. After confirming that it was dead, he removed his armor.


    Roger was confused. He had never seen this wolf before, so why had it attacked him with such prejudice?


    While thinking about this question, Roger stared at the black wolf and felt that it was somewhat familiar. He had a feeling that he had seen it somewhere before.


    However, Roger could not put his finger on it. Why did he find it so familiar?


    A thought came to his mind. He remembered that one of the little black Wolves among the second-rank savage beasts he had killed during the day did look very similar to this black wolf.


    No wonder the black wolf was so determined to kill him. It turned out that he had killed the other party¡¯s child that noon.


    After solving the mystery, Roger harnessed his earth and stone magic. After crafting floating human hands out of stone and earth, he extracted the beast core from the black wolf¡¯s brow.


    However, when the black wolf¡¯s core was lifted by the hand of earth and stone in front of his vision, he suddenly had a desire to devour the core.


    It shocked him. He took a few steps back and quickly distanced himself from the enticing core.


    In order to test if there was anything wrong with his body, Roger took out the other beast cores he had obtained during the day from his backpack.


    He placed them in his hands one by one to test if he had the desire to devour them.


    After a series of tests, Roger realized that he had the desire to devour them all.


    However, the desire to devour the lower-ranked cores was so minuscule that he had not realized it.


    That was why he had not felt strange when harvesting them during the day.


    After understanding the situation, Roger immediately took the black wolf¡¯s third-rank beast core and observed it carefully. He wanted to see if there were any differences with it.


    Roger suppressed his desire to devour the beast core. He carefully and repeatedly observed the beast core a few times.


    Other than the fact that the energy within the third-rank core was several times higher than that of the inferior cores, he did not find anything unusual.


    Roger suppressed his desire to devour the beast core and placed it on the ground. He began to sift through his past memories to see if there were any records of the connection between beast cores and magic.


    Roger¡¯s eyes suddenly glimmered with realization. He looked at the core as if it was some kind of treasure, and his face was full of glee.


    Then, he picked up the beast core and said with a smile,


    ¡°All it took was a single trip outside.¡±


    He had been thinking about how to break through his bottleneck.


    ¡°Now, the method has delivered itself to my door.¡±


    From his previous memories, Roger knew that mages could break through bottlenecks and reach new realms by absorbing a certain substance in beast cores.


    If not for the black wolf¡¯s sneak attack in the middle of the night, it would have taken him a few more days to find the way to break through the bottleneck.


    In order to prevent other creatures from disturbing him, Roger set up several layers of defense around himself. He took the black wolf¡¯s beast core and tried to absorb the energy in the beast core via meditation.


    After Roger started meditating, the energy in the beast core grew restless, but it stayed in the beast core and didn¡¯t come out.


    After Roger meditated for a few minutes, the energy in the beast core finally began to flow out. It flowed through the meridians in Roger¡¯s arm and into his mind.


    As he felt the energy of the beast core continuously flowing into his mind, Roger was overjoyed, thinking that he had finally found a way to break through his bottleneck.


    However, as time passed, even after he had completely absorbed the beast core¡¯s energy, he still could not break through his current bottleneck. Moreover, the beast core¡¯s energy disappeared without a trace after entering his core.


    Just as Roger was wondering why there was no reaction, thinking that he hadn¡¯t absorbed enough beast cores, he suddenly experienced a flash of darkness between dimensions.


    After a flash, Roger returned to the dark space where he first saw the crystal.


    This time, Roger realized that this lay within his own consciousness.


    However, he had not fallen unconscious, nor did he have any intention of entering this space. Why was he here?


    In the midst of his confusion, he suddenly saw the black wolf that he had killed rapidly reassembling less than ten meters in front of him.


    A few seconds later, the black wolf, which had just been reassembled, looked around blankly. When it saw Roger, it grew enraged and charged at him.


    Its sudden appearance and ferocity had started Roger. However, he quickly grew enraged and met it head-on with his halberd.


    Although he didn¡¯t know what was going on, he had just killed the black wolf. Even if it was back to life, he would just kill it again.


    After all, he was now in his own sea of consciousness. How could he let an outsider bully him, let alone someone who had been defeated by him a few minutes ago?


    As this was Roger¡¯s sea of consciousness, Roger was only here in spirit.


    Therefore, Roger wouldn¡¯t be restricted by his physical body when fighting here. He was able to move as he wanted.


    It did not take long for the beast to be subdued again. Roger stepped on black wolf¡¯s dying body with one foot and said,


    ¡°If I can kill you once, I can kill you a hundred times.


    You¡¯re in my world, and you¡¯re being so unreasonable. You really don¡¯t know your place.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he decapitated the beast.


    Roger looked at the black wolf¡¯s corpse on the ground and recalled the fight that had just happened.


    His blood started boiling. Without his frailty getting in the way, he had looked like an entirely different warrior.


    While he continued replaying the scenes in his mind, the crystal that was originally suspended in the air suddenly flew away from its original position.


    It floated above the wound on the black wolf¡¯s forehead.

 Chapter 13

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Roger looked at the crystal that had transmigrated with him, but it had not moved at all. Today, it had moved on its own and landed between the black wolf¡¯s brows. He was confused. He did not know what the crystal was up to.


    However, the black wolf could make the crystal, which had been motionless all this time, move. Roger was ready to see what it planned to do next.


    After the crystal landed between the black wolf¡¯s brows, it suddenly began to spin rapidly, and the faint light it emitted seemed to be three times brighter than before.


    The black wolf¡¯s body began to turn into starlight and merged into the crystal as it spun.


    After the black wolf¡¯s body turned into starlight and merged into the crystal, the crystal stopped spinning and returned to its original position, waiting quietly.


    After looking at the crystal and the whole process of absorbing the black wolf, Roger fell into deep thought.


    His desire to devour beast cores must have come from the crystal. The crystal that had transmigrated with him must have been drained of its energy for some unknown reason.


    No one responded to his calls.


    The black wolf that he had just fought with for the second time should be the remnant soul of the black wolf inside the beast core. And that remnant soul should have something that the crystal needed.


    Therefore, after he killed the black wolf¡¯s remnant soul again, the crystal, which had been silent all this time, fell between the black wolf¡¯s eyebrows and absorbed it into the crystal.


    After the crystal had absorbed the remnant soul of the black wolf, its appearance was slightly shinier than before. Roger concluded that after the crystal absorbed some substance in the beast core, it could recover on its own.


    As long as he killed enough third-rank savage beasts and obtained enough beast cores, he could replenish the crystal¡¯s energy.


    When the time came, the crystal that had followed him to the other world and given him magical power would definitely give him the answer he wanted, after it was reactivated.


    At the thought of this, Roger¡¯s heart was filled with excitement, which directly dispelled his original sleepiness.


    After he left the space of his consciousness, he carried his luggage and began to search for the location of the third-rank savage beast with the help of his wind magic.


    He was prepared to work overtime and hunt third-rank savage beasts without rest. He would use all magical means to collect enough third-rank beast cores to restart the crystal as soon as possible.


    The sun and moon rotated, and the stars changed. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    In a swamp deep in the broken Cliff Mountain range.


    Roger was standing on an ice field cast by ice magic, fighting with a third-rank earth toad.


    Due to the earth toad¡¯s abilities, it could only be fully utilized in swamps or ponds.


    Therefore, after waiting for the whole morning, Roger finally found the earth toad¡¯s weakness and created ice to freeze more than half of the swamp.


    After cutting off the earth toad¡¯s greatest advantage and at the same time casting all kinds of magical protection on himself while the earth toad was destroying the ice¡­


    He engaged with it in close combat, preventing it from reconnecting to the lake.


    The earth toad, which had lost most of its abilities, couldn¡¯t withstand Roger¡¯s fierce attacks.


    In addition to that, the cold air on the ground of the ice field was constantly eroding the earth toad, causing its movements to become extremely slow.


    The battle didn¡¯t even take ten minutes before the earth toad slowed to a standstill due to the erosion of the chill.


    As a result, it was unable to react in time and was beheaded by Roger¡¯s sword.


    After several days of high-intensity hunting, 14 third-rank savage beasts, including the black wolf, had been killed by Roger. The crystal in the space of his sea of consciousness was completely blooming with dazzling light.


    After killing the earth toad, Roger quickly took out the beast core from the earth toad¡¯s glabella and removed the ice.


    While standing on a withered tree beside the swamp, he watched the earth toad completely sink into the swamp before quickly leaving the muddy swamp.


    He returned to a cave that he had accidentally discovered during his hunting trip.


    After returning to the cave, Roger took out the earth toad¡¯s core from his backpack and cast several defensive spells to ensure his safety. Then, he began to meditate and absorb the energy in the core.


    Roger easily and skillfully used a few minutes to absorb all the energy in the beast core.


    Then, he returned to the space of his sea of consciousness.


    He looked at the earth toad that was roaring and attacking him in his spiritual sea.


    Roger, who had spent a long time fighting it, remained calm. He had honed his close-combat skills from experience, and he was in his spiritual body, which was not restricted by his physical frailty.


    The toad was easily slain again.


    Then, just like before, the dazzling crystal landed between the earth toad¡¯s brows and spun for a few seconds.


    It then absorbed all of the earth toad¡¯s remnant soul and returned to its original position.


    It was 30% brighter than before, but still didn¡¯t move. Roger was confused.


    He had absorbed the souls of 14 third-rank savage beasts, so why was there still no reaction?


    After absorbing the remnant souls of ten third-rank savage beasts, the brightness only increased a little bit each time.


    He did not dare to claim that he had gone through the entire Broken Cliff Mountain Range, but he had definitely covered half.


    All third-rank savage beasts that he could find had all been found and killed by him.


    It he emptied the entire mountain range of third-rank beasts and the crystal still remained inert, that would be a huge joke.


    The Forest Mist, the closest hunting ground of savage beasts to the mountain range, was thousands of kilometers away.


    In addition, there were bandits and terrain obstacles on the road. No matter how fast the horses in this world were, it would still take about ten days to reach.


    The crystal floating in the air suddenly flickered rapidly for a few seconds.


    Then, a message suddenly flashed in Roger¡¯s mind.


    ¡°I need a third-rank savage beast¡¯s soul to replenish my energy.¡±


    With the abnormal behavior of the crystal and the information that suddenly appeared in his heart, Roger instantly understood that the crystal was about to fully recover.


    After sensing the doubt in his heart, it gave him a hint.


    Then, Roger quickly walked to the crystal and asked why it had come and how it had come to this world.


    However, no matter how he asked, the crystal remained the same.


    After a few fruitless questions, Roger stopped asking. After all, the crystal would fully awaken when he killed the last third-rank savage beast. Then, all the answers would be revealed.

 Chapter 14

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Roger, who just only exited his meditation, first checked his magic arrays. After making sure that it had not been triggered by any living creature, he then dispersed the defensive magic array.


    After throwing the earth toad¡¯s beast core into his backpack, Rogge began to search the last place he had not set foot in the mountain range. He was hoping to find the last third-rank savage beast as soon as possible.


    Just as Roger carefully scanned for his final prey, Lan Bingling and her companions, who had been in the same direction as him for several days, showed up.


    At this moment, she was standing on top of a big tree, using the dense leaves of the big tree to hide her presence. She held an old telescope in her hand, observing a naturally formed giant cave.


    ¡°Sister, we¡¯ve been waiting here for two days. Why haven¡¯t we seen the giant crocodile leave yet?¡±


    Huo Li ¡®er, who had been waiting for two days and was so bored that she was counting leaves, asked Kasri, who was leaning on a tree branch.


    However, this was already the twenty-fifth time that Huo Li ¡®er had asked that question since they had started her observation today.


    Kasri had given up answering Huo Li ¡®er, she ignored her and closed her eyes to rest.


    On the other hand, Huo Li ¡®er still persistently repeated the question.


    Seeing that Kasri was ignoring her, Huo Li ¡®er turned her head and widened her scarlet eyes. She looked at Lan Bingling pitifully.


    Originally, Lan Bingling didn¡¯t intend to pay any attention to Huo Li ¡®er. In order to avoid seeing Huo Li¡¯ er¡¯s pitiful appearance, she even closed her eyes.


    However, even though Lan Bingling tried to avoid Huo Li ¡®er, the bored Huo Li¡¯ er sat directly beside Lan Bingling and kept talking into her ear as if she was chanting scriptures.


    Lan Bingling was trying to hold back Huo Li ¡®er. After ten minutes, she finally couldn¡¯t stand Huo Li¡¯ er¡¯s nagging anymore and said,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, are you done!


    Sister Kasri has already told you a few times that a single meal from the giant crocodile could last for a week.


    After eating their fill, they would not go out and would only stay in the nest, guarding the Lingzhi grass.


    That¡¯s why we¡¯ll have to wait here for the giant crocodile to eat again. Only then can we sneak into its nest and pick the Lingzhi grass.¡±


    When Huo Li ¡®er saw Lan Bingling¡¯s furious glare, her expression changed.


    She looked at Lan Bingling with an aggrieved expression before she picked up her telescope and continued to observe the giant crocodile¡¯s nest.


    Lan Bingling saw that Huo Li ¡®er looking aggrieved. Immediately, the anger that had just risen was extinguished in an instant. Her face was filled with a dumbfounded expression.


    As for Kasri, she didn¡¯t even lift her eyelids when she heard the two of them quarreling. After all, this was the fifth time that Huo Li ¡®er had teased Lan Bingling in the past two days. She was already used to it.


    The sun gradually set, and the setting sun shone through the leaves and onto Lan Bingling¡¯s group.


    At that moment, Lan Bingling was on surveillance duty. Kasri and Huo Li ¡®er had already gone to sleep early after dinner in order to take the night shift. They were recuperating and conserving their energy as they waited for the arrival of the night.


    Lan Bingling was bored to death. She used the telescope to observe the giant crocodile while she used her ice power to condense various creatures in her hands to practice her micro-control.


    A huge crocodile¡¯s head stuck out of the cave. After making sure that there was no danger, it walked out of the cave with relief.


    It stood up like a human and pushed the huge rocks at the side of the cave to the entrance, completely blocking it.


    After repeatedly pushing the boulder inward to make sure that no one could easily push it away and steal his precious Lingzhi grass, he set out into the jungle in satisfaction in search of food.


    However, what the giant crocodile did not know was that someone had been waiting in front of its house for a few days, waiting for it to leave so that they could steal the Lingzhi grass from its nest.


    When Lan Bingling saw that the giant crocodile had left its nest, she hurriedly walked to Huo Li ¡®er and Kasri¡¯s side and shook them with all her might.


    Since Kasri was only in a light sleep, Lan Bingling easily woke her up by shaking her branch.


    On the other hand, Huo Li ¡®er had spent too much energy during the day. Once night fell, she had collapsed like a sack of bones. Lan Bingling called out to her for a few minutes before she groggily stirred.


    Huo Li ¡®er wiped the moisture from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Lan Bingling with a dazed expression and asked in surprise.


    ¡°Lan Bingling, I¡¯ve just only fallen asleep. It shouldn¡¯t be my turn yet, right?¡±


    Lan Bingling and Kasri looked at Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s blank expression. They said helplessly,


    ¡°The giant crocodile is out hunting. It¡¯s time for us to collect Lingzhi grass.¡±


    Upon hearing Lan Bingling¡¯s words, Huo Li ¡®er, who was still in a daze, said casually,


    ¡°So, the giant crocodile went out to hunt. It¡¯s time for us to collect the Lingzhi grass, hehe!¡±


    Huo Li ¡®er, who was still in a daze at first, suddenly jerked stiff. Then, as if she had been injected with a stimulant, she suddenly became extremely energetic.


    Huo Li ¡®er, who had just woken up, immediately turned to Lan Bingling and the other two and said excitedly,


    ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s enter the giant crocodile¡¯s nest and collect the Lingzhi grass!


    While watching the excited Huo Li ¡®er flipping down the tree, Lan Bingling and Kasri looked at each other. They could see the helplessness in each other¡¯s eyes.


    However, the most important thing at the moment was to get the Lingzhi grass. Hence, the two of them said nothing. They immediately turned around and slid down the big tree with Huo Li ¡®er.


    When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the giant crocodile¡¯s nest, they looked at the huge rock that was at least ten meters tall and fell into deep thought.


    They had not expected the giant crocodile to use a huge rock to seal up the entrance of the cave after leaving its nest.


    Even if the three of them combined their strength, they would barely move the boulder, much less open a path for them to enter.


    At that moment, Huo Li ¡®er spoke up,


    ¡°Lan Bingling, Sister Kasri, I have a sword skill that might be able to break a passage out of the huge rock.


    You guys hide behind me and stand ten meters back. I¡¯ll try to see if I can break the rock.¡±


    After Lan Bingling and Kasri heard Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s words, they quickly moved away from the area ten meters around her.


    Then, they looked at Huo Li ¡®er with anticipation, hoping that she could really destroy the huge rock and create a passage.


    When she was certain her companions were in the clear, Huo Li ¡®er pulled out the long sword from her waist and took a few steps forward. When she was less than five meters away from the huge rock, she began to circulate the Golden Sun Breathing Technique that had been passed down in her family.


    As Huo Li ¡®er circulated the Golden Sun Breathing Technique, the red-and-white longsword in her hand gradually turned crimson red. The air around the blade also became slightly distorted due to the scorching temperature it emitted.


    When Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s essence, power, and spirit had all reached their peak with the circulation of her breathing technique, a trace of golden flame flashed across her red eyes.


    At a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, she continuously swung the Golden-red sword-force at the huge rock, trying to destroy it with brute force and see if she could penetrate it.

 Chapter 15

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Huo Li ¡®er sent hundreds of golden-red sword strokes at the huge rock at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.


    Due to the huge consumption of her physical and mental strength, her face gradually turned pale. She looked as if she had just been fished out of the water, and her clothes were soaked in sweat.


    However, even though she was extremely exhausted and every swing of her sword made her muscles wail, she did not stop slashing.


    As she could still hear the sound of the sword aura colliding with the giant rock peak, Huo Li ¡®er used her willpower to endure the discomfort and pain in her body. She continued to swing her long sword and continued to destroy the giant rock.


    A minute later, although Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s had slowed down, she still persisted in slashing, squeezing out every last bit of her strength.


    Lan Bingling and Kasri looked on. Huo Li ¡®er was exhausted, but she still continued to swing her sword. As she opened up a path for their future, her eyes were already wet.


    However, even though the two of them felt sorry for Huo Li ¡®er, they did not dare to disturb her.


    They knew that if they were to disturb Huo Li ¡®er now, she would get distracted. She was already exhausted. If she was distracted and lose control of the her sword force, it would backfire on her.


    Then Lan Bingling and Kasri would be trapped in guilt for the rest of their lives.


    The heavens did not let down the determined. Under Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s superhuman effort, the huge rock was finally pierced through by her sharp sword.


    As for Huo Li ¡®er, who had already become a machine, she only came back to her senses after failing to hear the sound of the sword essence colliding with the huge rock a few times. She finally stopped swinging.


    When Huo Li ¡®er saw that the dust had settled and revealed the passage leading to the crocodile¡¯s nest, her pale face revealed a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.


    Her body, which had been supported by her willpower all this time, could not hold on any longerand she collapsed.


    Just as Huo Li ¡®er was about to hit the ground, Lan Bingling, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, caught her in her arms and slowly placed her on the ground.


    The exhausted Huo Li ¡®er looked at Lan Bingling and Kasri, whose eyes were red and whose cheeks were streaked with tears. She forced a smile on her pale face and weakly said to the two of them,


    ¡°Lan Bingling, Sister Kasri, I¡¯m fine. My body just isn¡¯t ready to take on the full use of the Golden Sun Storm.


    That¡¯s why I¡¯m in such a sorry state.


    It¡¯s not a big deal. I¡¯ll be fine after a short rest. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    She looked at Huo Li ¡®er, who was already so weak, still comforting them.


    The tears that Lan Bingling and Kasri had forced back could no longer be held back. Tears continued to pool in their eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, Huo Li ¡®er. You should rest.¡±


    ¡°Leave the rest to me, Sister Kasri. I guarantee that once I get the Lingzhi grass, I¡¯ll break off our engagement with those two b*stards.¡±


    As soon as Kasri¡¯s voice fell, Huo Li ¡®er, who could no longer hold on, immediately fell into a deep sleep.


    Kasri looked at the already unconscious Huo Li ¡®er and said to Lan Bingling,


    ¡°Bingling, just stay outside and watch over Huo Li ¡®er and ensure her safety.


    I¡¯ll go in and get the Lingzhi grass.¡±


    Just as Kasri¡¯s voice fell, Lan Bingling said,


    ¡°I¡¯ll go, Sister Kasri. I have the sharpest senses. If we encounter any danger, I can predict it and escape.¡±


    ¡°Bingling, we are still very grateful that you accompanied us to find the Lingzhi grass.


    However, this is a chance for us to change our fates. We can¡¯t let you take the risk.


    So, I¡¯ll go. You stay here and take care of Huo Li ¡®er.¡±


    Lan Bingling wanted to turn her down, but she placed her hands on Lan Bingling¡¯s shoulders and said,


    ¡°Bingling, we don¡¯t have much time left. The giant crocodile must have heard the commotion when we opened the tunnel.


    So don¡¯t argue with me anymore, it¡¯s decided.¡±


    She then took out a jade bead from her bosom and handed it over to Lan Bingling. With a serious expression, she said,


    ¡°Bingling, this is a two-way sensing bead. If you see the crocodile heading back, smash this bead, and I¡¯ll be alerted.


    When the time comes, take Huo Li ¡®er and leave first. Wait for me in the hidden cave that we discovered when we came here.


    I¡¯ll look for you guys after I¡¯ve escaped.¡±


    After saying that, Kasri turned around and walked into the tunnel without any hesitation.


    Lan Bingling said to Kasri¡¯s back,


    ¡°Sister Kasri, you have to come back!¡±


    Kasri didn¡¯t even turn around and said,


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely return safely.


    Your sensing ability is best used to take care of Huo Li ¡®er.


    I¡¯ll have to trouble you with her.¡±


    As Kasri¡¯s voice fell, she completely disappeared into the dark tunnel.


    Lan Bingling looked at the back of the figure that had completely disappeared into the tunnel. She used the back of her hand to wipe the tears on her face.


    She picked up the unconscious Huo Li ¡®er on the ground and quickly hid in the path that the giant crocodile would take to return. She hid her¡¯s and Huo Li¡¯ er¡¯s auras to the extreme.


    She fell into a state of silence and waited for the giant crocodile to return so that she could inform Kasri, who was collecting the Lingzhi grass.


    After Kasri quickly passed through the tunnel, she quickly headed towards the deepest part of the giant crocodile¡¯s nest.


    She would occasionally encounter first-rank juvenile crocodiles blocking her way.


    However, Kasri knew that time was limited, and she could not be delayed by these young.


    Kasri knew that if she spilled their blood, the crocodile would know that its nest and the Lingzhi grass was in danger. It would then return at full speed.


    However, Kasri had no other way out. She could only quickly obtain the Lingzhi grass and escape from the giant crocodile¡¯s nest. Only then would she be able to reverse her and Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s fate.


    Otherwise, even if she and Huo Li ¡®er were to die in the mouth of the giant crocodile, they would not be willing to return to the imperial capital.


    So as long as she could evade them, Kasri would use the Thunderclap Breathing Technique passed down in her family to temporarily increase her speed and avoid the attacks.


    As for those she could not avoid, she could only end the battle quickly. After finding an opportunity to kill it in one blow, she continued to venture deeper into the nest of the giant barren crocodiles.

 Chapter 16

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In a dense forest, the giant crocodile that was chasing a group of first-rank savage beasts, storm rabbits, suddenly stopped.


    After letting out a loud roar, it left the tens of rabbits that it had killed on the ground. With bloodshot eyes, it turned around and ran towards its nest.


    Furthermore, it was not too far away.


    Kasri only had seven minutes at most. If she did not get the Lingzhi grass within seven minutes, Kasri would have to face the giant crocodile, which would attack her mercilessly.


    By the time the giant crocodile was rushing back at full speed, Kasri had already reached the middle of his nest. She was less than two hundred meters away from the deepest part of the Lingzhi grass.


    As Kasri got closer to the depths of the nest, there were more and more juvenile crocodiles.


    With no cubs to harass her, Kasri, who was unable to move at full speed, was burning with anxiety.


    She did not know when the giant crocodile would return, but she knew that she could not waste any more time. The longer she stayed in the giant crocodile¡¯s nest, the more dangerous it would be.


    As she looked at the juvenile crocodiles that kept coming out from the corners of the nest, Kasri¡¯s eyes gradually became determined and sharp.


    After throwing away the unfamiliar longsword in her hand, she took out three short sticks from her back and skillfully pieced them together. Then, she took out the cloth bag from her waist and ripped it, revealing a spearhead that was shining with a cold light.


    ¡°After connecting it to the shaft, a two-meter long and one-hundred pound metal spear stood in her hand.


    Kasri waved her spear, and with the power to sweep away an army of thousands, she destroyed all the juvenile crocodiles around her. After that, her body exploded with a powerful force of lightning, and no other crocodiles dared to approach her.


    What Kasri was using now was the lightning shield from the Thunderclap Breathing Technique. With her current physical strength, she could only last for ten minutes.


    For those ten minutes, her speed and strength would increase exponentially, reaching five times the original.


    However, the side effect was that after the lightning shield disappeared, she would not be able to use the Thunderbolt Breathing Technique for a few days. She would also be half as weak as a regular person.


    However, in order to obtain the Lingzhi grass, she could only take a gamble. If she succeeded, she could fly free, but if she failed, she would lose her life in the mouth of the giant crocodile.


    Thus, the moment Kasri used her Thunder Shield, she did not dare to delay a single moment. She immediately picked up her spear and flicked away all the juvenile crocodiles that were blocking her way.


    Without any pause, she advanced deeper into the nest.


    The distance of over two hundred meters was covered in a flash by Kasri¡¯s extreme speed.


    The moment Kasri saw the black Lingzhi grass emitting a strange purple light growing on the rock wall in the depths of the nest, a fleeting smile appeared on her face.


    Then, she used his spear to break the rock wall where the two Lingzhi grasses were. She jumped up high and snagged the two Lingzhi grasses. She put them into a special Jade box and put them into her backpack.


    Without the slightest hesitation, she rushed towards the exit of the nest.


    At that moment, the giant crocodile was about to return to its nest.


    It then understood that the creature that had broken into his nest had already taken the Lingzhi grass.


    As such, the giant crocodile lost its composure. It no longer tried to avoid the trees in front of it. Instead, it broke all of them. Its eyes were bloodshot as it roared and advanced towards its nest.


    Lan Bingling, who was guarding outside, looked at the berserk giant crocodile in the distance. She knew that Kasri should have already successfully obtained the Lingzhi grass.


    She smashed the two-way induction bead in her hand and looked towards the desolate giant crocodile¡¯s nest, praying that Kasri would return safely.


    In order not to cause any trouble for Kasri, she quickly carried Huo Li ¡®er on her back and ran towards the hidden cave that they had discovered when they first arrived.


    Kasri, who was only one step away from the nest¡¯s exit, sensed the shattering of the bead. She knew that the desolate giant crocodile had arrived, and that it was very close to the nest. She immediately sped up and rushed out of the nest.


    As Kasri quickened her pace, she took only three seconds to step out of the nest¡¯s exit, which was very close.


    Kasri, who had just come out of its nest, saw the savage giant crocodile charging towards her. She did not dare to stay any longer and ran in the opposite direction from the savage giant crocodile, quickly leaving the scene.


    In the distance, the desolate giant crocodile saw a tiny creature emerge from its nest. The creature¡¯s body was covered in its cub¡¯s blood and the smell of Lingzhi grass.


    It knew that this little thing was the one who stole its Lingzhi grass and killed its young.


    It lost its mind. Spreading its four legs, it madly ran towards Kasri at an extreme speed. It was determined to kill this little guy and make her pay for its cub¡¯s life.


    While the giant crocodile was madly chasing after Kasri, Roger, who had been searching for a day without finding any traces of a third-rank savage beast, was feeling at a loss.


    At that moment, he was using the wind-type spell, Wind Perception, to scan the area.


    Roger looked at the corpses of the savage beasts on the ground. The aura had remained on the spot, and the traces of the giant barren crocodile running away at high speed after going berserk were still present. He was overjoyed.


    He had searched for a whole day, but still could not find it. The sun was about to set and he had been prepared to give up for the day.


    To think that it would appear in front of him just like that. Roger was afraid that the giant crocodile would be killed by someone else, so he followed the route at top speed.


    He was only short of one last third-rank to reactivate the crystal. No matter what, he couldn¡¯t let anyone else kill it.


    If it had already been killed by others, then he could only use peaceful means before resorting to force.


    If they were willing to trade beast cores, then anything could be discussed.


    Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for using extreme measures.


    Although Roger would not take a life, he could still torment them.


    Just as Roger followed the tracks left behind by the giant crocodile and chased after it at top speed, Kasri¡¯s Lightning Shield would only last another three minutes.


    However, even with Kasri¡¯s current augmented strength, she was not confident that she could kill the crocodile within two minutes.


    Thus, there was only one path in front of Kasri, and that was to rely on her tiny body to nimbly move through the forest and between the rocks, using her speed to shake off the giant crocodile.


    As long as she was out of the crocodile¡¯s line of sight for a minute, she would be able to conceal her aura and hide in a secluded spot to escape the crocodile¡¯s pursuit.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Kasri calculated the time she had left as she observed her surroundings. She was hoping to find a place that could block the giant crocodile¡¯s vision and provide her with a hiding spot.


    Meanwhile, the giant crocodile was chasing after Kasri at full speed. It crashed into trees and rocks. It had almost lost all its rationality. The only thought left in its mind was to retrieve the Lingzhi grass that Kasri had stolen.


    Another two minutes passed. There were only a few dozen seconds left before Kasri¡¯s Lightning Shield could be activated.


    As for the giant crocodile, it continued to follow closely. The moment Kasri let her guard down, the giant crocodile would attack without hesitation, killing Kasri.


    Dozens of seconds passed in a flash. Kasri, who was running at full speed, also felt the power in her body rapidly fading away.


    Kasri¡¯s face gradually revealed a look of despair when she sensed the savage actions of the giant crocodile not far behind her.


    When the giant crocodile saw the thief who had stolen its Lingzhi grass, it actually began to slow down. It then let out an excited roar and used all its strength to kick backwards with all four limbs, charging towards Kasri, who was already considerably slower.


    Kasri looked at the shadow that was gradually covering her, and a look of despair gradually appeared on her face. However, her feet did not stop, and she continued to run forward with great effort.


    However, Kasri, who had not been a match for the giant crocodile even after her strength had been increased fivefold, was now even weaker than an ordinary person. How could she outrun the enraged giant crocodile?


    Just as the giant crocodile was about to grab Kasri, Kasri suddenly disappeared from the giant crocodile¡¯s sight.


    The giant crocodile, which was about to kill Kasri, crashed into a huge rock, causing it to see stars.


    The giant crocodile shook its head a few times to force itself to wake up. It then used its sense of smell to search for Kasri, who had suddenly disappeared and stolen the Lingzhi grass.


    However, no matter how much the giant crocodile sniffed, it could only sense that Kasri was nearby. It could not see Kasri herself or where she was.


    This made the already enraged giant crocodile even more enraged, and it began to destroy everything around it.


    Meanwhile, Kasri, who was driving the giant crocodile crazy, lay in a crack in the ground.


    Kasri, who only had half of a normal person¡¯s physical fitness, had fallen into an old trap by accident. She had fled in a panic to avoid being killed by the giant crocodile.


    Fortunately, the trap had been abandoned for many years, and the wooden awls had been completely scrapped. Thus, when Kasri fell into the trap, she did not suffer much damage. She was only bruised in the midsection.


    Although Kasri was temporarily safe, the giant crocodile above her was destroying the ground, rocks, and trees. It would not stop until it found the Lingzhi grass.


    However, Kasri¡¯s cultivation had been temporarily crippled, and her physical fitness was only half of a normal person¡¯s. Unless a miracle happened, it was almost impossible for her to survive against the giant crocodile.


    Just as Kasri was looking at the giant crocodile outside the cave, she suddenly heard a male voice shout in joy.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been chasing you for so long, and I¡¯ve finally found you.¡±


    The voice that suddenly appeared was like a ray of light that shone into the depths of Kasri¡¯s heart that was close to despair.


    And then, Kasri shouted towards the entrance of the cave,


    ¡°I¡¯m being pinned down by the giant desolate crocodile, can you help me?¡±


    However, Roger¡¯s mind was only focused on killing the giant desolate crocodile, taking out the beast core, and attacking the crystal. He did not even care about Kasri¡¯s cry for help.


    After equipping himself with all sorts of enhancement spells, he charged towards the giant crocodile.


    As for the already berserk and almost irrational giant crocodile, it was instantly enraged by Roger¡¯s provocation.


    It bit and tore at Roger, who was attacking him.


    However, against the fully-armed Roger, the giant crocodile¡¯s bites were completely useless. It could not even break through the defense of the Roger¡¯s armor.


    On the other hand, Roger only had one thought in his mind, and that was to kill the giant desolate crocodile.


    Therefore, as long as he could think of a spell that could kill the crocodile, Roger wasn¡¯t afraid of using up his mana. He bombarded the savage crocodile with spells.


    Under Roger¡¯s barrage, the rage in the giant crocodile¡¯s heart swallowed all of its remaining rationality. It was bent on making this ant that dared to attack it pay a painful price.


    The strength of the giant crocodile was indeed at the top among the third-rank savage beasts. Even its body was the largest among the third-rank savage beasts.


    However, the giant crocodile still could not stand up to Roger¡¯s pervasive magic bombardment that had disregarded his consumption of mana.


    In the battle with Roger, it had the upper hand at the beginning, but under Roger¡¯s full-powered paralysis, poison, and other negative spells, as well as all kinds of powerful explosive spells, it quickly found itself on the back foot.


    After five minutes of Roger¡¯s bombardment, the giant crocodile¡¯s rationality returned. Knowing that it could not defeat Roger, it began to think of ways to escape.


    However, the giant crocodile was related to Roger¡¯s future, so how could he let him escape?


    As soon as the giant crocodile showed signs of escaping, Roger immediately began to cast all kinds of spells to block its escape route.


    The giant crocodile could neither defeat him, nor escape, so it fended off his attacks while begging for mercy.


    Normally, Roger would have accepted the giant crocodile¡¯s plea. After all, having a mount and pet like the giant desolate crocodile was very cool.


    However, Roger only wanted the giant crocodile¡¯s beast core. He ignored the crocodile¡¯s pleas and cast spells at its vital parts.


    A few minutes later, after Roger ten thousand Thunderbolts struck the giant crocodile¡¯s vital spots, the crocodile¡¯s body was instantly paralyzed, and it could no longer resist.


    Then, Roger seized the opportunity and shot a flame blast spell through the giant crocodile¡¯s heart, ending its life.


    Even Roger, who recovered his magic quickly, was a little overwhelmed by the continuous casting of magic for more than ten minutes.


    Fortunately, he had finally killed the giant crocodile.


    After resting for a while, Roger reached the forehead of the giant crocodile with a few jumps.


    After forming his halberd, he attacked the area between the giant crocodile¡¯s eyebrows.


    After hacking away for two minutes with the halberd, Roger saw a fist-sized beast core. He picked it up with his weapon and put it in his backpack.


    He was ready to leave the place and find a hidden place to absorb the beast core. He was going to unlock the secret of the crystal that had followed him here.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    However, just as Roger jumped down from the giant crocodile¡¯s corpse and was about to leave ¡­


    Having struggled for a long time, Kasri finally crawled out of the hole. Seeing Roger about to leave, she hurriedly shouted,


    ¡°I am the Thunderbolt Chamber of Commerce¡¯s second Miss, Kasri. May I ask who saved me? Can you leave your name? I will definitely thank you in the future.¡±


    However, Roger, who was focused on finding a hidden place to absorb the beast core, had no time to pay attention to Kasri.


    Seeing that the other party was injured, and it was a girl at that, he took out some medicine from his backpack and threw it in front of her.


    He didn¡¯t pay any more attention to Kasri, and directly used wind magic to hasten his escape into the forest.


    The moment Kasri saw Roger, she recognized that he was the extraordinary person that Lan Bingling had mentioned.


    But what Kasri didn¡¯t expect was that before she could say anything, Roger had thrown her some medicine and ran away. She didn¡¯t even have time to express her gratitude.


    After all, her family¡¯s Thunderbolt Chamber of Commerce was the most powerful Chamber of Commerce in the Empire.


    If others heard that she was the second Miss of the Thunderbolt Chamber of Commerce, they would probably demand a large amount of money from her.


    However, Roger didn¡¯t even look at her and left in a hurry. Of course, he was a strange person.


    However, since she knew Roger¡¯s appearance, it would be too easy to find him with her family¡¯s power. She would definitely find Roger and repay him for saving her life.


    Kasri knew that this place was definitely not a place to stay for long. She had to leave this place as soon as possible and find Lan Bingling to meet up with her.


    After looking at the place where Roger disappeared, she made up her mind. She picked up the medicine Roger had left on the ground. After finding her bearings, she slowly walked towards the place where she and Lan Bingling would be better off.


    Roger didn¡¯t know that he had just casually saved a person, which would bring him a lot of convenience in the future.


    After some searching, he finally found a hidden and safe cave.


    After luring the owner of the cave out and killing it, Roger impatiently entered the cave.


    As the crystal would be reactivated after absorbing the beast core, Roger did not know what would happen.


    In order to ensure that he would not be disturbed by other creatures while he was absorbing the beast core, Roger had not only set up all the defensive spells he had created, but also all the illusion, counterattack, and alarm spells.


    It took him an hour to set up the whole cave. Even if several fourth-rank beasts attacked, they would not be able to step into the cave without an hour of throwing themselves at his defenses.


    After finishing everything, Roger rested for a while. After adjusting himself to his best condition, he picked up the beast core and began to absorb it.


    A few minutes later, as Roger had completely absorbed the energy in the beast core, a one-to-one restored giant crocodile appeared in the space between Roger¡¯s eyebrows.


    Rogge immediately charged forward, not giving the giant crocodile any chance to react.


    After crushing it, Roger had killed the remnant soul of the giant crocodile.


    After that, Roger jumped to the side and waited for the crystal to absorb the giant crocodile¡¯s soul.


    The moment Roger left the giant crocodile¡¯s soul remnant, the dazzling crystal quickly reached the area between the brows of the giant crocodile¡¯s soul remnant. It spun madly and was completely absorbed into the crystal.


    A few seconds later, the crystal that had absorbed all of the giant crocodile¡¯s energy returned to its original spot and began to flash with a regular pattern.


    Seeing the change in the crystal, Roger knew that the crystal had received enough energy and was starting to restart. He didn¡¯t get close to check and even took a few steps back just in case.


    His eyes were fixed on the crystal that kept flashing, looking forward to the changes after it was reactivated.


    After the crystal flickered rhythmically for a few minutes, it suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and Roger did not dare to look directly at the crystal.


    He could only cover his eyes with his hands, squint his eyes, and look through the gaps between his fingers at the crystal that was emitting a dazzling light.


    The moment the crystal emitted a dazzling light, it suddenly shattered into countless pieces, and a triangular magic array began to slowly form around it.


    The moment the triangular magic array was formed, the countless crystal fragments that were enveloped in it began to spin rapidly in a special pattern.


    As the countless crystal shards began to spin, the light they emitted became more and more dazzling. Roger had to close his eyes and turn his back away from the reforming crystal.


    After an unknown period of time, Roger sensed that the light emitted by the crystal had finally returned to its original level. He turned around to see what the reconstructed crystal was.


    However, when Roger turned around, he realized that the reconstructed crystal looked like an object condensed from the secrets of magic, which made him very excited and amazed.


    After the reconstruction, the crystal took on an irregular shape engraved with countless magic arrays.


    At the center of the body was a core that looked like a galaxy, but was more beautiful than a galaxy, shining with countless light spots.


    The outer layer of its body was a barrier formed by various magic arrays.


    The countless magic arrays were processing and transforming. Roger only stared at the outer shell for less than a minute, and he saw thousands of changes in the unknown magic arrays.


    Just as Roger was looking at the ever-changing magic arrays on the outer shell, an ethereal voice came from the reconstructed crystal.


    ¡°The Arcane World¡¯s final magic recorder, the Arcane Core Elf, pays his respects to Master.¡±


    The ethereal voice stirred Roger from his infatuation.


    While looking at the reconstructed crystal that finally had the function of communicating, Roger immediately asked the questions in his heart.


    ¡°What are you? Where are you from?


    Did you bring me to this world?¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s question, the ethereal voice replied without any hesitation,


    ¡°My number is Zero. I¡¯m an artificial spirit created with the arcane arts. I¡¯m also what your technological civilization often calls an AI.


    My duty is to manage all the knowledge in the arcane core and serve the owner of the arcane core.


    I¡¯m from the Arcane World, a powerful world where magic civilization flourished to the extreme. It¡¯s a powerful world that can enslave supreme gods and sweep across thousands of worlds.


    And master, you were indeed brought into this world by me.¡±


    After hearing Zero¡¯s introduction of the Arcane World, Roger immediately asked with a face full of doubt,


    ¡°Zero, if the arcane world is really as powerful as you said, why are you here?¡±


    Zero began to explain the reason why it was here.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°The Arcane World was on the verge of destruction. I, a culmination of all the inheritances in the arcane art world, was sent into the dimensional tunnel.


    In the dimensional tunnel, after drifting for an unknown amount of time, I ran into Master¡¯s previous world and the world you are in now.


    At that time, I no longer had any extra energy to take a detour, so I rushed into Master¡¯s previous world. I was prepared to break through the world barrier and continue to travel after replenishing my energy.


    However, after entering Master¡¯s previous world, I discovered that it was a world without any supernatural powers.


    At that time, I only had enough energy to break open space once. According to the first core regulation of the arcane core, I had to guarantee that the inheritance of the arcane great world would not be cut off.


    Then, I chose you, who was the most suitable person to practice magic in that world. Then, cutting off my way back, I broke through space and brought Master to this world.¡±


    After Zero finished speaking, Roger was so shocked that he stood rooted to the ground.


    However, he was not surprised by the second half of what Zero said. He was surprised by the fate of the Arcane World. Such a powerful world was actually on the verge of destruction.


    ¡°Zero, why is the Arcane World on the verge of destruction? Is it an invasion by an invincible enemy?


    Will the enemy track you down and come looking for trouble with me?¡±


    This time, Zero¡¯s answer was not as straightforward as before. A few seconds after Roger¡¯s words, Zero slowly explained the reason for the Arcane World¡¯s destruction.


    The reason for the Arcane World¡¯s destruction wasn¡¯t because of an invasion, but because of the mages in the Arcane World.


    Zero¡¯s words surprised Roger.


    As for Zero, he seemed to feel embarrassed, and his words were not as straightforward as before.


    ¡°The Arcane World has existed for five eras and a billion years. The understanding and application of magic have reached the peak. There¡¯s nothing in the world that can be difficult for the mages of the Arcane World.


    At the beginning of the sixth era, the mages of the Arcane World suddenly became interested in the World Will for some reason.


    They then began to capture the World Wills of other planes and small worlds for research.


    However, after destroying tens of millions of worlds and studying the World Wills for nearly a hundred million years, the mages discovered that there were always things in the World¡¯s Will that they could not understand.


    Therefore, they felt that it was possible that the level of the World Wills they were studying was not high enough, so there was no way to analyze the foundation of the World¡¯s Will.


    Hence, the mages of the Arcane World stubbornly chose to capture the World Will of the Arcane World and analyze it.


    However, just because the mages wanted to analyze it, didn¡¯t mean that the will of the Arcane World was willing to be analyzed by them.


    As a result, the two sides engaged in an intense battle that lasted for tens of millions of years.¡±


    Hearing this, the corner of Roger¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, and his face was filled with helplessness.


    Didn¡¯t the mages in the Arcane World just doom themselves?


    The World Will of the Arcane World was like a mother that had given birth to mages.


    It had provided them with all sorts of needs, allowing them to become superior existences.


    However, in the end, the mages it had painstakingly supported for a billion years were actually trying to tear it apart and see what its structure was.


    If this was the fault of the World¡¯s Will, then it would be fine. However, the World Will of the Arcane World was basically a man sitting at home, only to be struck by a blade coming from the sky.


    It was a little too much.


    Just as Roger grumbled in his heart, Zero continued to explain the reason why the Arcane World was on the verge of destruction.


    Thirty million years after the war, one of the Arcane Saints, who had traveled all over the dilapidated Arcane World and seen countless mages, finally came to his senses after being sacrificed in this meaningless battle.


    His spirit started to persuade the other mages to give up on the war.


    After the Arcane Saint came to his senses, more and more mages were convinced to give up on the war in the tens of thousands of years.


    Thirty million and a quarter years into the 6th era, all the mages in the Arcane World gave up on war after being persuaded by him.


    After that, the Arcane Saint led all the sorcerers to reach a settlement with the World Will at the highest peak of the Arcane World, Morux Peak.


    However, due to their tens of millions of years of war, the Arcane World had already been shattered.


    Even the mages who could analyze everything did not have the confidence to repair it.


    Thus, after a unanimous decision, in order to prevent the inheritance of the Arcane World from being cut off, it combined all the inherited knowledge in the entire Arcane World and inserted it into me


    ¡°Then, it sent me, a newborn, into a dimensional tunnel that it had just discovered. It dropped me into the stream, where the current would take me and find the inheritor before I ran out of energy.¡±


    As Zero finished his explanation, a new question appeared in Roger¡¯s mind.


    Since the mages are already so powerful, why don¡¯t they leave the Arcane World by themselves and look for an inheritor?


    As soon as Roger¡¯s doubts appeared in his mind, Zero gave him an answer.


    The mages believe that the Arcane World is where they originated, so even if they die, they will not leave that place.


    Zero¡¯s answer gave Roger a shock. Roger then asked Zero,


    ¡°Zero, are you able to tell what I¡¯m thinking?¡±


    Zero answered Roger¡¯s question directly,


    ¡°Yes, Master. I can hear it, and so can you. It¡¯s just that you never cared.


    Since you¡¯re in your sea of consciousness, everything you¡¯re thinking will appear in the space of your sea of consciousness even if you don¡¯t say it.


    As long as you leave this place, Master, I won¡¯t be able to know what you¡¯re thinking.¡±


    Zero¡¯s answer made Roger feel very confused. Then, he casually thought of some words in his mind.


    He realized that it was just as Zero had said. As long as he thought about it, his spiritual body would reflect everything he thought about outside his body.


    Previously, he had suspected this. He was thinking about it in his heart, and what he heard was only the automatic playback of his brain, so he did not pay much attention.


    After understanding that Zero wasn¡¯t peeking into his mind and that he would not be able to know what he was thinking once he left the space of his consciousness, Roger threw it to the back of his mind.


    Then, he asked Zero something expectantly. It was a question that had been on his mind ever since he came to this world.


    ¡°Zero, is it possible for me to return to my previous world?¡±

 Chapter 20 - A Return

    Chapter 20 A Return


    ¡°Master, if you want to return to your original world, there are two ways.¡±


    Zero¡¯s words made Roger¡¯s spirit instantly rise. He asked excitedly,


    ¡°Zero, hurry up and tell me. What are the two methods? Are there any that I can use now?¡±


    However, in the face of Roger¡¯s excitement, Zero didn¡¯t have the slightest fluctuation and poured a basin of cold water on him.


    Although there are two ways to return to Master¡¯s original world, it¡¯s not something you can do right now.


    Zero¡¯s answer made Roger¡¯s original excitement fizzle out.


    However, Zero did not give up on telling Roger the way to return to his original world because of his disappointment.


    ¡°The first method is for Master to cultivate to the realm of the Venerable and have the ability to freely open dimensional tunnels and swim in them without being injured.


    After combining it with the coordinates of Master¡¯s original world that I¡¯ve recorded, Master, you will be able to return to your original world.


    It¡¯s just that this method will consume worlds in the span of hundreds, even thousands of years.


    Zero¡¯s first method made Roger¡¯s heart turn cold.


    Everything he was familiar with in his


    original world would be gone by the time he returned. What was the point of going back then?


    ¡°The second method will take much less time than the first. There is a 50% chance that Master will be able to return to your original


    world after 10 years.¡±


    Zero¡¯s words had directly pulled Roger from hell to heaven.


    However, Roger was afraid that in such a


    short span of time, the success rate would be


    raised to the nightmare level.


    He suppressed the excitement in his heart and


    asked Zero,


    ¡°Zero, is it very difficult to shorten the time by so much?¡±


    What Roger didn¡¯t expect was that Zero¡¯s answer would make him both happy and


    worried about his future.


    ¡°The difficulty of the second method is almost non-existent.


    The reason I stopped wandering in the dimensional tunnel and brought you to this world is because Master¡¯s original world is already very close to this world, and we are in a straight line.


    That¡¯s why I settled for you as an inheritor.


    According to my observations before I entered this world, master¡¯s original world will have a chance of colliding with this world after ten years.


    There are only two possible consequences for two worlds to be so close to each other.


    After two worlds have been neighbors for a certain period of time, they would collide due to various reasons. Then, the two worlds that collided would exchange what they needed.


    However, after the collision, there would be an unknown buffer period. During this period, only extraordinary powers would be connected, and living beings would not be able to enter the other world.


    After the two worlds are adjacent to each


    other for a period of time, they would separate and continue to drift in the


    dimensional tunnel.


    That¡¯s why I said that there¡¯s a chance that


    you¡¯ll be able to return to your previous world


    in ten years.


    After Zero finished explaining, Roger fell into deep thought, pondering over the second way to return to his original world.


    His original world and his current world were


    neighbors. Ten years later, they would either collide or live in harmony and separate.


    Roger didn¡¯t want to see either of these situations.


    When the two collided, there would only be two outcomes in the original world where


    there was no extraordinary power.


    The other option was to adapt to extraordinary power and use the buffer period of the collision of the two worlds to improve


    his strength to the point where he could withstand the current world.


    Otherwise, they would not adapt to the sudden extraordinary power and be enslaved by the current world, becoming the lowest of


    all lifeforms.


    And if the two worlds were to live in harmony


    and separate into the dimensional tunnel, then the chances of him returning to his original world and meeting his acquaintances would be extremely slim.


    These two situations made Roger extremely conflicted. However, there was no such thing as a dual-type magic in this world, and he


    didn¡¯t have the ability to reach the Supreme


    realm of magic within ten years and freely travel through dimensional tunnels. After thinking for a while, Roger¡¯s eyes became more and more determined. Since he didn¡¯t have a dual method, he would do his best to increase his strength. Ten years later, when the two worlds collided,


    he would have to rely on his own strength to protect the important people in his original world.


    If the two worlds were safe and sound, then he would work hard on his cultivation and reach Supreme realm as soon as possible. He


    would then travel through the dimensional


    tunnel and return to his original world. With the complete inheritance of the Arcane World, how could he not be able to resurrect a few ordinary mortals?


    As he thought of this, Roger¡¯s inner conflict


    instantly disappeared, and his face was filled with confidence.


    However, although Roger had already thought


    it through, he still decided to ask Zero about the probability of the two worlds colliding. ¡°Zero, what do you think is the probability of the two worlds colliding in ten years?¡± After hearing Roger¡¯s question, Zero gave an


    answer that made Roger extremely depressed. ¡°Master, according to my calculations, in ten years, if there are no special circumstances, the probability of the two worlds colliding is


    as high as 90%.¡±


    After Roger got the answer, the confident look on his face suddenly stiffemed up, as if he had not heard Zero¡¯s answer clearly.


    ¡°Zero, what¡¯s the probability of the two


    colliding?¡±


    Zero never faltered in front of Roger¡¯s question. He immediately answered again. ¡°Master, the probability of the two worlds colliding is as high as 90%.¡±


    After confirming the answer again, Roger¡¯s mentality collapsed on the spot.


    It turned out that all the chicken soup that he


    had fed him before was just a waste of effort for his own entertainment. From the beginning to the end, there was


    only one result, which really made Roger feel extremely speechless.


    However, out of caution, Roger still asked Zero what the remaining 10% was. ¡°Zero, what would happen in the remaining


    10%? Is it feasible?¡±


    Zero¡¯s answer made Roger very depressed


    again.


    ¡°The two worlds may encounter unexpected situations such as dimensional storms, a battle between ultimate powerhouses, or a Void Devourer.


    As for whether or not it was common, I


    couldn¡¯t say for sure. After all, everything in the dimensional tunnel had remained


    unknown. If one was unlucky, they might encounter it.


    I¡¯ve been wandering in the dimensional tunnel for hundreds of millions of years, yet I¡¯ve never encountered one.¡± Zero¡¯s answer made Roger feel that he had


    said something wrong. The probability of


    these things happening was almost one in a billion.


    Yet, Zero had called it a 10% chance. Wasn¡¯t


    he just looking for trouble for nothing? Was he hoping for something bad to happen? However, since Zero was similar to an AI,


    Roger was only depressed for a while and no longer argued.


    After all, now that he knew that in ten years, the two worlds would definitely collide, he might as well think about how to improve his strength instead of thinking about such trivial things. That was the most important point. It would be extremely difficult to raise his strength to the top of the world in ten years.

 Chapter 21 - End Of Training

    Chapter 21 End Of Training


    ¡°Zero, since you have gained the entire Arcane World and all the inherited knowledge of magic, can you analyze my current situation?¡±


    Zero did not answer Roger¡¯s question.


    Instead, after a moment of silence, a virtual interface was projected from the Arcane Core, which displayed Roger¡¯s current information.


    Name: Roger


    Age: 18


    [Mage Realm: First-rank]


    (From First to Ninth, the Lord of magic, the God of magic, the King of magic, the Saint of magic, Truth, Eternity.)


    [Meditation technique: Bright Moon Meditation Technique (Black Rank)]


    (In descending order, Universe, Eternity, Hong, Desolate, Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow)


    [Magic: Low-level elemental magic]


    While looking at the sci-fi virtual interface in front of him, Roger felt like he was dancing.


    However, looking at the various information on the virtual interface, Roger was extremely shocked.


    As expected of the peak magic civilization that had flourished for a billion years, its strength was truly powerful.


    Roger asked Zero,


    ¡°Zero, based on my current strength and situation, do you have any suggestions?¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s question, Zero was stunned for a few minutes before he replied,


    ¡°My suggestion is for you to abolish your current cultivation and choose a better magic inheritance in the Arcane World to re-cultivate.


    Right now, both your meditation technique and your realm are trash. Even in the Arcane World, mages of the same level as you can easily crush hundreds of you.¡±


    Zero¡¯s words made Roger feel very helpless. He was just a half-baked mage. Forget about magic, he had plagiarized anime and TV series to create his own magic, so it could be considered to be somewhat relevant to magic.


    The law of meditation was something that he had created after many experiments based on the novel¡¯s memories in his mind. It was already good enough for it to work. What else could he want?


    ¡°Zero, do you have any good suggestions if I re-cultivate?¡±


    After thinking for a moment, Zero said to


    Roger,


    ¡°If Master wants to re-cultivate, my


    suggestion is to use the Heaven-grade Galaxy


    Meditation Technique.


    This Meditation technique is suitable for


    someone like you, who can cultivate all


    attributes.


    In the later stages, it would be the Galaxy Meditation Technique, which could even advance to the universe level.


    When the Galaxy Meditation technique is completed, billions of stars will hang in the core, and the sea of consciousness will become an endless starry sky. The demonic power will be boundless, and any kind of magic can be easily used, reaching the peak of


    its power.¡±


    The Galaxy Meditation technique that Zero mentioned made Roger¡¯s blood boil. He said to


    Zero,


    ¡°Zero, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell me about the Galaxy meditation technique. I¡¯ll re-cultivate now.¡±


    As soon as Roger¡¯s voice fell, Zero emitted a faint fluorescent light, and then a beautiful Galaxy was projected in front of Roger.


    ¡°Master, this is the visualization diagram of the Galaxy Meditation Technique. As long as you follow this diagram and construct the same galaxy in your mind, you will be able to successfully cultivate the Galaxy Meditation Technique.


    After successfully cultivating the Galaxy Meditation Technique, the Galaxy that Master had constructed in the space of your consciousness would continuously operate on its own, continuously absorbing the power of the elements into your core. It would also continuously increase your mental strength. Even if Master doesn¡¯t train and only relies on the Galaxy Meditation Technique¡¯s natural flow, after five-thousand years, you will still possess the abilities of a Venerable.¡±


    While looking at the beautiful Galaxy in front of him and Zero¡¯s explanation, Roger was more confident about protecting his friends in his original world during the collision of worlds in ten years.


    Roger didn¡¯t waste any more time. After memorizing the Galaxy visualization diagram, he sat cross-legged in his sea of consciousness and began to visualize the Galaxy in his mind.


    As time slowly passed, in Roger¡¯s sea of consciousness, the originally dark world began to gradually display spots of starlight, and it became brighter and brighter.


    The sun and the moon alternated, and the


    stars were hidden. Three days passed in a


    flash. At that moment, Roger¡¯s sea of consciousness was no longer as dark as before. It had become like a Galaxy, and it was also as beautiful.


    Countless stars were emitting light. Other


    than the countless tiny stars, fifteen huge


    stars were scattered across the Galaxy.


    The fifteen huge stars each emitted a different-colored light, infecting the smaller stars around them.


    Roger, who hadn¡¯t opened his eyes for three days, finally opened his eyes. His pupils seemed to reflect the endless Galaxy, making


    people feel that Roger had become an endless abyss, with its indiscernible depths. ¡°The Galaxy Meditation Technique is truly worthy of being called a heaven grade meditation technique. In just three days, not only did I lose a month¡¯s worth of effort, but I


    was also able to cultivate to the Second-rank. This is truly terrifying.¡±


    That¡¯s right, not only had Roger¡¯s cultivation


    dissipated, but he had ended up no weaker after re-cultivating with the Galaxy Meditation Technique. Instead, he had broken through to the Second-rank.


    At that moment, Zero said to Roger,


    ¡°For Master to be able to reach Second-rank


    within three days after dispersing your cultivation, other than the fact that your fate is extraordinary, it¡¯s also because when Master dispersed your cultivation, you only dispersed the influence of the meditation technique on you.


    It doesn¡¯t mean that your increased spiritual


    power and the elemental power absorbed into your body will be dispersed.


    That¡¯s why Master was able to re-cultivate to the Second-rank so quickly.


    Zero was very clear in explaining. It was because of your previous accumulation that you were able to break through your original realm.


    If you want to make another breakthrough in


    the future, it would not be as easy as it was now.¡¯


    Roger stood up and looked at the 15 huge stars


    hanging high in the Galaxy in the space of his consciousness. He instantly understood. The 15 giant stars were the manifestations of


    the 15 powers he had sensed at the beginning. In addition to the common ten elements, there were also five powers: Time, Space, Summoning, Star, and Analysis.


    Time, Space, and the other ten elements were


    easy to understand. Summoning summoned various creatures for one¡¯s own use, while Stars controlled the power of the stars for one¡¯s own use.


    Analysis worked like its name suggested. It could analyze everything in the world, including alchemy, arrays, and equipment refining.

 Chapter 22 - The Body Forging Technique

    Chapter 22 The Body Forging Technique


    As Roger cultivated each power to a profound level, each star would become brighter and brighter, and those who dared to invade Roger¡¯s sea of consciousness and wanted to use their spiritual power to deal with Roger would only empower him.


    All of them would have to pay a painful price, and they might even die under Roger¡¯s spiritual sea¡¯s automatic countermeasures.


    And as Roger delved deeper into each power, the stars represented by each power would provide an enhancement related to the power Roger used.


    This was equivalent to an external tool that Roger carried with him, which could grow and continuously increase 15 types of power.


    The most important thing was that Roger didn¡¯t have to pay anything. As long as he continued to study the 15 powers, the 15 stars would become stronger on their own.


    Faced with such a temptation, Roger wanted to study all 15 powers now and become a truly invincible hexagonal warrior without any flaws.


    However, reality told Roger that although he was talented, he was still just a baby holding the keys to a large treasure vault.


    Since he couldn¡¯t even comprehend some of them, he could only choose the few powers that were beneficial to him to cultivate.


    While looking at the 15 giant stars in the Galaxy, Roger pondered for a moment and made his choice.


    He was still weak, and staying alive was the most important thing. Thus, he had to choose between Space and Light. Space could provide him with unparalleled escaping abilities, while Light could give him a powerful healing ability.


    Next was the ability to analyze. Alchemy, array formation, refining, and so on were all profitable industries. They could be used for one¡¯s own use and save on expenses, and they could also be used to earn money.


    Then, there was attack and defense. He did not have to worry about these two aspects for the time being. As long as he had enough mana, the spells he had created at his current stage and the low-level spells inherited from the Arcane World were enough to deal with most situations.


    Therefore, he could put these two aspects aside for now.


    Now, he already had both wealth and security. He could slowly ponder over the others. There was no need to rush.


    Now that most of the problems had been


    solved, there was only one problem left, which was the strength of his physical body.


    With the strength of his body now, even if he had powerful magical abilities in the future, he would still be a weakness.


    If he were to be ambushed and killed before


    he reached his target, then his only option would be to turn to necromancy and raise himself as a Lich.


    ¡°Zero, since the mages of the Arcane World


    could easily crush gods and analyze all things in the world, they should have a way to improve their physical strength, right?¡± As soon as Roger finished speaking, Zero immediately replied,


    ¡°Yes, Master.


    The mages initially started off as flesh and


    blood, the mages in the latter days of the Arcane World could freely enter and exit other dimensional worlds.


    After thousands of years of experiments, they


    had integrated and optimized a body training method that was suitable for all mages, Body


    Forging.


    The core of Body Forging is to integrate demonic energy into one¡¯s body and use the demonic energy to continuously cleanse one¡¯s body, allowing one to break through the


    current level and reach a higher realm.


    Furthermore, after tens of thousands of years and countless of improvisation, the art of Body Forging shot to new heights.


    According to the mages ¡®deductions, there


    was no limit to the number of times the Body Forging could cleanse the body. As long as there was enough mana and the practitioner had enough time, the strength of the body could be improved infinitely.


    However, the time and mana required would increase exponentially.


    Even in the Arcane World, the Saints who specialized in physical training spend 100 million years to train their bodies.¡±


    Zero¡¯s introduction made Roger admire the wisdom of the mages, who had actually created such powerful Body Forging. ¡°Zero, send me the contents of the manual.


    My body is too weak right now. If I don¡¯t increase my physical strength, I really don¡¯t have the confidence to walk in this world of


    physical strength.¡¯


    ¡°Yes, Master, please wait a moment.¡±


    After the countless crystal fragments in the


    center of Zero flashed for a few seconds, a golden light shot out from it and went straight into the brow of Roger¡¯s spirit body.


    After the golden light entered Roger¡¯s body, a secret manual written in an unknown language appeared in Roger¡¯s mind. However,


    he could understand it.


    After Roger finished reading, he looked surprised and asked Zero,


    ¡°Zero, did you only give me a part of the body


    forging manual?¡±


    Facing Roger¡¯s doubts, Zero replied in a calm


    tone,


    ¡°Master, I will teach you everything.¡±


    Zero¡¯s answer made Roger very confused. The Body Forging manual he had sent over only had a thousand words. Other than teaching how to inject magic power of


    different attributes into the body and temper it, there was nothing else.


    ¡°Zero, could it be that no matter if it¡¯s a low level or a high level of Body Forging, they all use the same method to temper the body?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master. It¡¯s all the same at every level.


    demonic


    That is to inject the various attributes of power that you have cultivated into your body to cleanse and temper it.


    ||


    Zero¡¯s answer made Roger instantly understand why the Saints had spent 100 million years to temper their bodies.


    People gained resistance to medication, not to


    mention magic. If he kept using one method


    to temper his body, wouldn¡¯t it be less effective?


    But then again, the mages who had already


    mastered magic to its peak and could play


    with Gods and worlds in the palm of their


    hands would not care too much about body training.


    With this in mind, Roger decided that Body Forging could only be used as his early body-tempering method.


    In the future, when he became stronger, he would have to travel to the thousands of worlds and refine their techniques to create a


    body that could accompany him to the peak.


    After making up his mind, Roger exited the space of his consciousness.


    After all, he hadn¡¯t eaten for three days, and


    his body was getting emaciated. He was only a Second-rank mage. Therefore, he would still be controlled by the feeling of hunger.


    Roger, who had exited the space of his sea of consciousness, looked at the spider that was covered in dust and was already weaving a web on his thigh.


    He casually cast a clean breeze spell, blowing


    all the dust on his body and the spiders to the rock wall.


    After getting up and checking the various magic arrays that he had set up, Roger removed all the magic arrays and walked out


    of the cave that he had stayed in for several days.


    His stomach rumbling in hunger, Roger used his spirit to sense his surroundings. Then, like a flash of lightning, he quickly attacked the prey he sensed.

 Chapter 23 - Body Forging

    Chapter 23 Body Forging


    In the dense forest, a Second-rank savage beast, sword-armored pufferfish, was in a pond not far away. It was drinking the water leisurely, unaware that death had arrived.


    Roger stood on a hundred-year-old tree and looked down at the sword-armored pufferfish with a smile.


    After that, he cut off a part of the vine that was coiling around the hundred-year-old tree, injected mana into it, and threw it at the pufferfish at an incredible speed.


    After the mana-infused vine shot out from Roger¡¯s hand, it seemed to flash and cross a distance of five hundred meters in a few breaths, appearing above the pufferfish¡¯s head.


    When the armored-sword pufferfish saw the green vines suddenly appearing above its head, a sense of deadly danger instantly engulfed its entire body, and it immediately turned around to escape.


    However, just as the pufferfish turned


    around, the green vines suddenly expanded rapidly and wrapped around it in the blink of an eye.


    Moreover, the more the sword-armored pufferfish struggled, the tighter the vines became. A few seconds later, the crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard from the vines, and the pufferfish was dead.


    As for Roger, he had already reached the lakeside when the vines bound the pufferfish. After the armored died, Roger sent the vines spreading out.


    First, he condensed a small knife with his demonic power and dismembered it


    completely with the force of a butcher dismembering an ox. He then controlled the water in the pool to wash it carefully.


    Then, he used magic to dismantle a small tree into thousands of wooden skewers and controlled the wooden skewers to skewer the meat together. The remaining wood was ignited with fireballs, and the skewed meat was levitated by magic and suspended over the fire.


    Finally, when the meat was cooked, he sprinkled some salt on it, and the delicious roasted sword-armored pufferfish was done.


    After wolfing down the food, Roger, who had not eaten for three days, finally burped in satisfaction.


    After cleaning his body and mouth with a cleaning spell, Roger returned to the cave to practice his body forging technique.


    Roger had enough of this thin body. Today, he was going to make it change.


    As his current magic power was no longer comparable to before, he set up a Dark Moon magic array at the entrance of the cave that he had found in his inherited memory, which was a combination of counterattacks, illusion, sentries, and defense.


    The Dark Moon magic array was the most powerful magic array he could release at the moment. Even a fifth-rank savage beast could not enter the cave without a full-force attack for several hours.


    After setting up the Dark Moon magic array, Roger began to temper his body, according to the instructions in the manual.


    He needed to merge all the demonic power of all attributes together to temper his body.


    Roger followed the fusion method described in the manual and only managed to fuse 15 types of magic power after several experiments. He had also reached the level where he could temper his body once.


    After the fusion, Roger fused the magic power


    into his body and began to temper it.


    When he first injected the mana, Roger did


    not feel much, but as the mana fused and


    began to flow through his body¡­


    Roger instantly felt that every part of his skin and cells were undergoing tempering of different attributes. Some of his cells were


    burning, some were freezing, and some were


    being struck by lightning. 15 different feelings were churning in Roger¡¯s body as the magic power flowed.


    As soon as the fused mana finished one cycle, Roger was already sweating and aching all


    over.


    Each time he forged his body, the mana would


    have to go through his body nine times, which meant that Roger had to endure eight more rounds of pain.


    Roger had no choice but to clench through the


    pain. The tempering of his body could not be interrupted once it started.


    Roger could only endure the pain and


    continue to forge his body. There was no other way.


    Half an hour later, the last round of Body


    Forging finally came. Roger¡¯s muscles were exhausted, and his gums had been chewed raw and bloody. His clothes were also soaked


    in sweat.


    After a few minutes, the mana finally completed the last circle in Roger¡¯s body and


    dissipated.


    As the first Body Forging completed, the pain disappeared. Roger collapsed on the ground. His whole body ached and he was exhausted. He fell asleep.


    After Roger fell asleep, the magic power that


    had dissipated in his body began to nourish,


    repair his body, and restore his spirit. His originally thin body began to slowly move toward the level of a first-rank savage beast.


    The stars and moon returned to darkness, and the sun rose from the east.


    The morning sun shone on the entirety of the


    Broken Cliff Mountain Range, driving away


    the darkness and the terrifying savage beasts that moved at night.


    Roger, who had been sleeping in the cave for a


    day, slowly opened his eyes and got up from


    the ground.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be so painful. Was my body just that frail?¡± However, just as Roger used the rock beside


    him to slowly get up, Roger exerted his strength and directly crushed the rock. Roger,


    who was caught off guard, directly fell to the


    ground again.


    This sudden change really surprised Roger. Then, he quickly turned over and stood looked at his hands with excitement on his


    up.


    face. He had never thought that he would possess


    such a powerful body just by tempering his physical body once.


    Even though the rocks in the cave were not


    He


    that strong, it was still not something that could be crushed by ordinary people. The excited Roger immediately walked out of


    the cave. After testing on a tree and a rock, he finally knew the strength of his current physical body.


    Now, Roger¡¯s body had reached the limit that


    ordinary people could reach. One more step and it would match a first-rank.


    This discovery shocked Roger, and he couldn¡¯t wait to go through another round of forging. However, looking at the deep footprints left on the grass due to his sudden increase in


    power due to his lack of control, Roger forcefully suppressed his excitement. He began to slowly adapt to his sudden increase in strength.


    Over the next few days, Roger was both happy


    and in pain. After adapting to the power, he continued to forge his body. After the Body


    Forging was completed, he continued to use the increased power. With the repeated forging and adaptation, Roger quickly spent seven days in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.

 Chapter 24 - Returning To Broken Cliff Mountain Range

    Chapter 24 Returning To Broken Cliff Mountain Range


    ¡°I¡¯m finally out. I¡¯ve gained a lot in this one month.¡±


    Roger walked out of the gradually sparse forest while sighing about his encounters in Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    While listening to the constant shouts and solicitations from the gathering place, Roger¡¯s face revealed a happy expression.


    After looking around the base, his eyes locked onto a noodle restaurant.


    Roger, who had been eating salt roasted meat for a month, wanted to eat something else.


    Immediately after, he walked into the noodle restaurant and shouted to the chef,


    ¡°Master, a big bowl of noodles.¡±


    After the chef heard this, he said without


    turning his head,


    ¡°Alright, please wait a moment, Sir.¡±


    A few minutes after Roger sat down, the noodles were served.


    After eating three big bowls, Roger patted his belly with satisfaction. He threw a silver coin on the table and prepared to go home to wash up.


    After all, no matter how useful the cleaning spell was, it was not as comfortable as taking a bath.


    The chef saw the silver coin that Roger had left behind and hurriedly called Roger to get the change. However, Roger didn¡¯t look back. After waving his hand, he rushed back home. After Roger walked out of the gathering place, two or three people immediately followed him. When Roger returned to cliff town, one of the people who followed Roger immediately left the team.


    Roger had already sensed that someone was following him when he was at the gathering place, but he didn¡¯t pay attention to the person.


    After all, the people following him were just small shrimps. He didn¡¯t want to hit small shrimps only to have a big fish avenging them, followed by a shark avenging the big fish.


    If he had to, he would kill them all at once. He was not that ruthless. He did not have the time to play with these people. If he had the time to make some money, wouldn¡¯t it be far more productive?


    He quickly shook off his stalker. The stalker returned to a beautiful house. He was


    kneeling in front of a pavilion and reporting the situation.


    ¡°Second Miss, the person you asked us to


    keep an eye on has returned from the Broken


    Cliff Mountain Range.


    When I saw him, he had already entered the


    town, so he should be home by now.¡±


    ¡°I know, you may leave.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Second Miss.¡±


    After the stalker finished speaking, he turned


    around and quickly left the pavilion.


    There were three people sitting in the pavilion. One of them was Kasri, whom Roger


    had saved in Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    The other two were Lan Bingling and Huo Li ¡®er, who had entered Broken Cliff Mountain Range together with Kasri.


    However, both Kasri and Huo Li ¡®er looked pale. Both of them had suffered from the side effects of using their forbidden techniques. Their lives were not in danger, but they were currently weaker than ordinary humans.


    ¡°Sister Kasri, we¡¯ve had people out there waiting for a few days. We¡¯ve finally found


    that person.


    Let¡¯s go find him now.¡±


    After Kasri dragged her weak body out with


    Lan Bingling and Huo Li ¡®er, she immediately sent people to Broken Cliff Mountain Range. She placed a few people at each exit and asked them to report to her immediately after Roger


    came out.


    As for Roger¡¯s house, it had already been located by Kasri.


    After all, Roger had lived there for 18 years.


    With the resources of her Thunderbolt Chamber of Commerce, it took less than a day for them to find Roger¡¯s home.


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, don¡¯t be so rash. The other party


    is our savior who saved us from our misery. When you see him, be careful of what you say.¡±


    ¡°I know, Sister Kasri, let¡¯s go.¡¯


    As soon as Huo Li ¡®er finished speaking, she walked towards the main gate of the house.


    Looking at Huo Li ¡®er, who seemed to be much more relieved after breaking away from her family¡¯s engagement, a smile that came from the bottom of their hearts appeared on Kasri and Lan Bingling¡¯s faces after they exchanged


    a glance.


    After Roger returned home, he sensed that the


    people following him had stopped not far from his house. He ignored them.


    After stepping into the Dark Moon magical


    array at home, he poured the well water from a wooden bucket into the bath barrel. After


    heating it up with fire magical power, he took


    off his clothes and laid down in it with great enjoyment.


    Half an hour later, the three of them arrived outside Roger¡¯s house.


    The person who had been following the


    Roger¡¯s family saw the three of them and quickly walked up to them.


    ¡°Second Miss, Miss Lan, Miss Huo, Roger


    hasn¡¯t come out since he entered the house.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I know. You can go back now.¡±


    After Kasri heard that Roger had returned home, she asked the people who followed Roger to return to the Chamber of Commerce. She wanted to visit Roger with Lan Bingling


    and Huo Li ¡®er to give him gifts of gratitude. Huo Li ¡®er, who had a carefree personality, walked to Roger¡¯s door and started to knock. ¡°Roger, are you home?¡±


    However, the Dark Moon magical array that Roger had set up had a sound-proof effect. Therefore, before Roger left the magic array, he would not be able to hear Huo Li ¡®er, even


    if she shouted until her throat was hoarse. Huo Li ¡®er had called out a few times, but


    seeing that Roger did not respond, she prepared to knock on the door.


    Kasri immediately stretched out her hand to stop her.


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, don¡¯t knock anymore.


    time.


    It seems that we came at the wrong Roger has been alone in the Broken Cliff


    Mountain Range for almost a month. He should be very tired.


    Let¡¯s not disturb the other party¡¯s rest for now, and come back tomorrow.¡±


    When Huo Li ¡®er heard Kasri¡¯s advice, she looked like a deflated leather ball.


    ¡°Alright, we were indeed too anxious. We¡¯ll come back tomorrow.¡±


    Kasri looked at Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s dejected expression and said to her,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, it¡¯s been so many days since you


    returned from Broken Cliff Mountain Range. You¡¯ve been recuperating in the house all this time, aren¡¯t aren¡¯t you bored?¡±


    When Huo Li ¡®er heard Kasri¡¯s question, she immediately replied,


    ¡°I can only wander around the house every


    day. Of course, it¡¯s boring.¡±


    Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s reply caused a smile to appear on Kasri¡¯s face. She then said to her, ¡°Do you want to go to the Commercial Street


    in the town center?¡±


    Kasri¡¯s question made the originally dejected Huo Li ¡®er perk up with energy. She said to Kasri,


    ¡°Yes, of course I want to go. Are we going?¡± After Kasri smiled, she said to Huo Li ¡®er,


    ¡°Seeing that you¡¯ve been staying in the house and recuperating these past few days, I¡¯ve decided to bring you and Lan Bingling to the town center¡¯s Commercial Street for a stroll and have a good day of fun.¡±


    Kasri¡¯s reply made Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s happiness soar. She was never a law-abiding person. If it was not for the fact that her body was really


    weak these few days, she would have gone to the town center alone to celebrate the cancellation of the engagement. ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go!¡±


    With that, Huo Li ¡®er was filled with joy as she skipped and hopped towards the Commercial Street in the town center.


    As for Lan Bingling and Kasri, when they saw


    the overjoyed Huo Li ¡®er, their faces were also filled with glee. They quickly walked to her side and headed towards the Commercial


    Street in the town center.

 Chapter 25 - Visiting Roger

    Chapter 25 Visiting Roger


    The morning sun shone through the window and landed on the ground. The chirping of birds woke Roger up from his sleep.


    After waking up, Roger washed his face with the cold well water and went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast. Then, he removed the Dark Moon magic array that covered the house and sat on the stone table and chair, enjoying the morning sun and the delicious breakfast.


    Just as Roger was enjoying his breakfast, the people sent by Kasri to observe Roger immediately ran back to Kasri¡¯s house to


    report the situation after seeing Roger come out.


    As for the three of them, after knowing that Roger had woken up, they immediately set off for Roger¡¯s house.


    Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived outside Roger¡¯s house and politely knocked on the door.


    ¡°Brother Roger, are you home?¡±


    After cleaning up the dishes, Roger, who was sunbathing on the recliner in the courtyard, sensed that the people knocking on the door were the three beautiful women he had briefly seen before entering the Broken Cliff


    Mountain range. He opened his mouth and let them in.


    The three people who had obtained Roger¡¯s approval immediately pushed open the courtyard door and walked in front of Roger.


    After Kasri walked to Roger, she bowed and respectfully said,


    ¡°Brother Roger, you already know my


    identity. Let me introduce the two people


    beside me.


    Lan Bingling was one of the successors of the three major medicinal merchants, the Ice Medicine Company.


    Huo Li ¡®er was the second daughter of Count Jinyang, one of the top ten counts in the Empire.


    I¡¯m here to thank you for saving my life. If it weren¡¯t for you, I¡¯d probably be dead in the mouth of the giant crocodile.¡±


    Roger looked at Kasri¡¯s currently glamorous appearance and compared it to the girl he had saved when he was hunting the giant barren crocodile a few days ago. He then said,


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I was just doing it in passing. If you weren¡¯t so lucky that I found you being chased by a third-rank savage beast, and I didn¡¯t need its beast core, you would have been digested by the giant


    crocodile by now.


    Roger¡¯s reply was so straightforward that


    even Kasri, who had always been calm and


    steady, couldn¡¯t handle it.


    However, due to the purpose of this trip, Kasri still forcefully changed the topic. She said to


    Roger,


    ¡°Brother Roger, to thank you for saving me, we will give you one million gold coins, a shop on a busy road in the Imperial Capital, and a house on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital as thanks. I hope you can accept our sincerity.¡±


    Then, Kasri placed two deeds and a bank note worth one million gold coins on the stone


    table in front of Roger.


    Roger looked at the things on the table, but he


    wasn¡¯t moved at all. Although he didn¡¯t have much money for the time being, he would have countless wealth sooner or later, by relying on the inheritance of the Arcane


    World.


    After hearing the self-introductions of the three people, he found it all very troublesome. According to the plot of those novels, these


    people would only lead to more and more


    trouble


    Roger didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with the three of them.


    That was why Roger spoke bluntly, trying to


    make the three of them back off.


    ¡°No need, I don¡¯t want these. You can take


    them back.


    I just did it in passing. I wanted a third-rank


    beast core, so I helped you kill the giant crocodile.


    You don¡¯t have to do this, take it back.¡±


    When Kasri saw that Roger didn¡¯t want it, she thought that it was too little, so she quickly


    said,


    ¡°Brother Roger, this is all we have now. If you


    think it¡¯s not enough, we¡¯ll collect more when


    we get back to the capital and send it back to you.¡±


    Roger deliberately showed an impatient look and said to the three,


    ¡°I don¡¯t want your gift, don¡¯t you understand?


    If there¡¯s nothing else, please go back. I still


    have something to do later.¡±


    When Huo Li ¡®er saw the impatience on


    Roger¡¯s face, a fire was instantly ignited in


    her heart. She took a step forward and said to


    Roger,


    ¡°How can you be like this?


    We¡¯re only here to repay you for saving our


    lives, not to do anything to you. How can you be so rude?¡±


    When Kasri saw Roger¡¯s impatient expression


    and the disdain in his eyes when he glanced at the things on the table, she knew that she had made a mistake.


    It wasn¡¯t that Roger disliked the lack of gifts,


    but he really wasn¡¯t interested and looked down on what she had given him.


    After hearing Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s words, Roger immediately replied,


    ¡°I already said that there¡¯s no need for it, but


    you guys keep trying to push it to me. Now, you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m rude.


    Such long hair but such short insight, such big breasts but such a small brain.¡±


    As soon as Roger finished speaking, Huo Li ¡®er


    blew up like a pot of boiling water. She was so angry that white smoke was coming out of her head.


    ¡°Who are you calling big-breasted and brainless!¡±


    After looking at the furious Huo Li ¡®er, Roger


    said with a hint of mockery,


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong. You¡¯re a brainless woman with small


    breasts.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t that Huo Li ¡®er didn¡¯t have any


    breasts, but compared to Kasri and Lan


    Bingling, her breasts were indeed on the smaller side.


    Faced with Roger¡¯s slightly mocking words, Huo Li ¡®er was instantly driven mad. She immediately circulated the Golden Sun


    Breathing Technique and attacked Roger with her fangs and claws.


    In the face of Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s attack, Roger remained unperturbed. He did not even get up. He just sat up straight and used one hand


    to grab Huo Li¡¯ er¡¯s attacking hands. When the originally furious Huo Li ¡®er circulated the Golden Sun Breathing Technique with all her might to attack Roger,


    Lan Bingling and Kasri had immediately wanted to stop her. However, Kasri was still suffering from her


    backlash, so how could she possibly keep up with Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s speed? Lan Bingling was originally standing at the


    edge, quietly watching Kasri handle this


    matter. She had not expected Roger¡¯s mouth to be so vicious.


    What she did not expect was that Huo Li ¡®er would suddenly make a move. Therefore, by the time Lan Bingling reacted,


    Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s attack had already been received by Roger. Furthermore, Roger was controlling both of her arms with one hand and placing them on the ground.


    When Kasri saw that Huo Li ¡®er was subdued


    by Roger with one move, she instantly reacted and said to Roger,


    ¡°Brother Roger, Huo Li ¡®er didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Please forgive her.¡±


    As she apologized to Roger, she quickly


    walked to Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s side and pulled her up.


    After pulling Huo Li ¡®er up, Kasri said to her in a serious tone,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, no matter what, the other party is our savior. How can you hit him?¡± Huo Li ¡®er, who had attacked in anger but was


    casually dealt with by Ron, was then severely criticized by Kasri. Her original anger instantly dissipated, and her rationality returned. She knew how stupid her actions


    were just now.


    No matter what, Roger was the benefactor who had broken the engagement. She was angry over a small matter and even wanted to


    hit him. It was really inexcusable. However, when Huo Li ¡®er thought about how Roger had belittled her small chest, an


    unknown fire immediately burned in her


    heart.


    After Kasri finished talking about Huo Li ¡®er, she immediately said to Roger, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but Huo Li ¡®er has a childish


    temper. She has been like this since she was


    young.¡±


    Roger also knew that Huo Li ¡®er did not intend to kill him just now. She was just angry from embarrassment and wanted to teach him a


    lesson. Therefore, Roger only used brute force to


    force her to the ground and didn¡¯t attack with


    magic. Otherwise, Huo Li ¡®er would have turned into ashes and melted into the air. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I did go a little too far just now.¡±

 Chapter 26 - Letter Of Recommendation

    Chapter 26 Letter Of Recommendation


    Kasri heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Roger wasn¡¯t angry.


    After all, the three of them were here to repay the favor. If they offended the person before repaying the favor, what would that be?


    Roger didn¡¯t seem to mind it, but Kasri¡¯s upbringing didn¡¯t allow them to be impolite. Immediately, Kasri looked at the unconvinced Huo Li ¡®er and said with a serious expression,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, Roger isn¡¯t even going to argue with you. Why don¡¯t you quickly apologize to him?¡±


    Face with the stern-looking Kasri, even the unconvinced Huo Li ¡®er had no choice but to


    obey.


    However, for the sake of her face, Huo Li ¡®er walked to Roger and quickly bowed. She then said loudly,


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me.


    After she finished speaking, she walked directly behind Lan Bingling without even looking back. He lowered his head and no longer paid any attention to Kasri and Roger.


    As for Roger, who was shocked by Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s sudden loud apology, his face was filled with helplessness.


    Especially when he saw Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s aggrieved expression, Roger felt even more depressed. If others were to see this, they would think that he had done something to Huo Li¡¯ er.


    Roger felt a headache coming in. He then helplessly said to the three of them,


    ¡°Ladies, I really don¡¯t need these. You can take these and leave quickly.¡±


    Kasri looked at the helpless Roger and was also extremely depressed. It was just a simple act of repaying a favor. How did so many things happen?


    However, since she was here to repay the debt of gratitude, how could she just leave like that? Since Roger was not interested in the wealth, she could only use her trump card.


    Then, Kasri took out something that looked like an invitation from her bag and placed it on the table in front of Roger.


    Seeing that Roger still didn¡¯t give up, Roger immediately prepared to send her off.


    However, after hearing Kasri¡¯s introduction of the item, Roger instantly gave up.


    ¡°This is a letter of recommendation from the


    Royal Academy, one of the top institutions in the capital of the Empire.


    With this letter of recommendation, one could participate in the Royal Academy¡¯s annual entrance examination.


    As long as one passes the test, they would be able to become a student of the Royal Academy. They would be able to learn all sorts of top-tier breathing techniques and other knowledge.


    I can see that you are very powerful, so how about I give you this letter of


    recommendation as an apology?¡±


    This was what Roger wanted the most. He had


    been vexed about where to go, where to find a top-tier breathing technique, and how to understand everything about this world.


    After all, he wasn¡¯t strong. The more superior breathing techniques were controlled by the


    aristocrats, academies, and even the royal family. He couldn¡¯t get his hands on them at


    all.


    Kasri¡¯s recommendation letter was like a timely downpour, directly helping him solve


    two major problems.


    ¡°Miss Kasri, I really like your recommendation letter. It¡¯s of great help to


    me.


    If you need my help in the future, as long as it


    doesn¡¯t go against my bottom line or exceed my ability, I¡¯ll definitely help you.¡±


    Roger¡¯s words made a smile appear on Kasriface.


    Roger was only 18 years old. He had started


    practicing for less than a year, but he already had the ability to kill a third-rank savage


    beast.


    This meant that as long as Roger didn¡¯t die prematurely, he would definitely become an


    existence at the top of the world.


    ¡°Brother Roger, you¡¯re too kind. This recommendation letter is useless to me. It¡¯s


    best to give it to you.¡±


    Roger smiled at Kasri¡¯s compliment and


    replied,


    ¡°It may be useless to you, but it is of great


    use to me. I¡¯ll definitely help you in the future if you need anything.


    Since Roger was so firm, Kasri didn¡¯t continue


    pursuing the topic. Instead, she asked Roger,


    ¡°There¡¯s less than a month before this year¡¯s Royal Academy¡¯s entrance examination. I wonder when you¡¯re planning to head there?¡±


    Roger didn¡¯t rush to answer. After thinking for a moment, he said to Kasri,


    ¡°I¡¯m going to leave tomorrow. It¡¯ll take at least 15 days to travel to the Imperial capital. In addition to the possibility of something happening midway, it¡¯s already not bad to be able to arrive within two days before the assessment.¡±


    Roger¡¯s words made Kasri feel a burst of joy, and then she said to Roger,


    ¡°We¡¯re also leaving for the capital tomorrow.


    Do you want to come with us? We can take care of each other on the way.


    After Kasri finished speaking, she looked at


    Roger with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.


    Roger listened to Kasri¡¯s suggestion and fell into deep thought. Originally, he had planned to find a reliable convoy to join.


    After all, it was too boring to travel alone. It was also too dangerous. The journey from here to the capital would take more than ten days. If they encountered some bandits or the like during this journey, it would not be easy


    to deal with them.


    Although he wasn¡¯t afraid of bandits or savage beasts, he was afraid of trouble. Every time he passed a place with bandits, they


    would think that he was easy to bully and would try to rob him.


    That was like a toad climbing on a person¡¯s


    face. It was harmless, but it was also disgusting.


    When he thought of this, he immediately


    prepared to agree to Kasri¡¯s request to travel with him.


    After all, it would be better to travel with three beautiful girls with deep backgrounds than with a team of unknown people.


    ¡°Miss Kasri, I¡¯m willing to go with you to the capital tomorrow.


    Roger¡¯s answer made Kasri very surprised. Originally, it was just a casual remark, but she did not expect Roger to agree directly.


    ¡°Okay, Brother Roger, let¡¯s meet at the


    entrance of the town tomorrow morning. We¡¯ll go to the capital together. After saying that, Kasri took Lan Bingling and Huo Li ¡®er, who was still angry, and left Roger¡¯s house. They returned to their house.


    After watching the three of them leave, Roger turned around and returned to his room. He was prepared to practice the Galaxy Meditation Technique and study the various inherited knowledge of the Arcane World.

 Chapter 27 - Heading To The Capital

    Chapter 27 Heading To The Capital


    The next morning, at the entrance of broken


    cliff town.


    The three of them stood beside a


    single-horned carriage, leisurely waiting for Roger to arrive.


    ¡°Sister Kasri, after we return to the capital, we won¡¯t have to face those people anymore.


    After I return to the capital, I can go out and play whenever I want to. I won¡¯t have to listen to those gossiping women anymore.¡±¡®


    Huo Li ¡®er stood beside the horse carriage and told Kasri about her plans after returning to the capital in high spirits.


    Kasri was also looking forward to a free life in the future.


    She and Huo Li ¡®er were the daughters of the clan leaders in the aristocratic families. They were born with no way to control their own fate. When they grew up, they would be arranged for marriage in exchange for the stability of the family.


    If the person involved in the marriage was a slightly more normal person, she and Huo Li ¡®er would not have to use such a method to avoid the marriage.


    However, among the two people who were to be married to them, one was a mentally disabled person, and the other was a cruel and unkind young master.


    It would be better to die than to let them marry these two.


    However, it was fortunate that their parents loved them very much. Under a lot of pressure, they made a bet with the elders of the family and the head of the other families.


    He wanted the two of them to snatch the Lingzhi grass from the ruler of the mountain range with their second-rank strength. He would then agree to return her and Huo Li ¡®er their freedom and allow them to decide on their own marriage.


    The elders of the family and the family head of the family with the marriage alliance did not believe that the two of them could get the Lingzhi grass. They thought that the two families were looking for an excuse to fake their deaths or cheat their way out.


    Therefore, for the sake of this bet, the families even used the heaven and earth contract to bear witness to the bet between the four families. If they were alive, they had to see them in person. If they were dead, they had to see their corpses. If any family cheated and broke the bet, they would have to compensate half of the family property to the other party.


    Under such a contract, she and Huo Li ¡®er did not even think that they could walk out of the Broken Cliff Mountain Range alive. Instead of marrying that trash or implicating their family and relatives, they might as well just die in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.


    However, to their surprise, just as they were resigned to their fate, Roger appeared and saved them, allowing them to successfully obtain the Lingzhi grass.


    Now, all they had to do was return to the capital and hand the Lingzhi grass to their parents. Then, they would be free and no one would be able to interfere with their choices.


    Just as Kasri and Roger were fantasizing about their free future, Roger, who had put most of his items into the storage space opened by spatial magic and was carrying a small bag on his back, slowly walked to the carriage at the entrance of the town after


    saying goodbye to Augustus.


    When Kasri saw Roger walking over, he


    smiled brightly and said to Roger,


    ¡°Brother Roger, you¡¯re here. Have you had


    breakfast?¡±


    Roger heard Kasri¡¯s greeting and casually replied,


    I¡¯ve eaten. My name is Roger. You can call me by my name. It feels very awkward to call me


    Brother.


    Roger¡¯s words made the three of them smile.


    ¡°Alright, Roger. We¡¯ll be setting off now. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to reach the next


    town before dark.¡±


    Roger expressed that he didn¡¯t care. He didn¡¯t


    know the way anyway, so it was up to Kasri to


    decide.


    Seeing that Roger had no objections, Kasri prepared to get on the carriage and set off.


    However, after the three of them boarded the carriage, Kasri suddenly realized a problem. She immediately pulled open the curtain of the carriage and said to Roger,


    ¡°Roger, the three of us are riding in a carriage. What are you riding to follow us?¡±


    Roger didn¡¯t answer Kasri¡¯s question. Instead,


    he put his hand to his lips and blew a loud and clear whistle. Then, he began to wait for the arrival of his mount.


    The three of them were very confused by


    Roger¡¯s actions. Just as Kasri was about to ask, a wolf¡¯s howl came from the small hill


    next to the town.


    As the bushes on the hill trembled, the wolf howls grew closer and closer.


    A minute later, a giant wolf with silver-white


    fur and a single horn on its head, whose strength had reached the second-rank, dashed out of the hill and quickly ran to Roger¡¯s side.


    The moment they saw the huge wolf appear


    beside Roger, the three of them thought that the huge wolf was a wild savage beast. They were ready to rush out of the carriage and help Roger kill the huge wolf. However, just as the three of them were about


    to make a move, they saw that the silver-white Wolf not only did not hurt Roger at all, but also approached him like a dog.


    In the end, it rolled on the ground, revealing


    its belly for Roger to touch. After revealing the giant wolf that had


    nothing to do with the outside world, the


    faces of Kasri and the other two were filled with surprise. For a moment, they didn¡¯t know whether the giant wolf in front of them


    was a big dog raised by their family or a wild wolf of a wild beast. After stroking the Silver Wolf¡¯s belly a few times, Roger said to the three of them,


    ¡°I tamed it in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range. I¡¯ll ride it and follow your carriage to


    the imperial capital. The imperial capital should allow humans to keep pets, right?¡± After hearing Roger¡¯s words, Kasri was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she said to Roger, ¡°No problem. You can keep pets in the capital,


    and the pets there are even more terrifying than yours. There are even weirder ones.¡± After getting Kasri¡¯s reply, Roger let the Silver Wolf get up. After he sat on the Silver Wolf¡¯s


    back, he said to Kasri, ¡°Miss Kasri, let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s set off now. Also, you can just call me Kasri, no need to


    call me Miss Kasri.¡±


    After saying that, Kasri rolled down the


    window and had the coachman drive the carriage forward.


    After Kasri¡¯s carriage moved forward, Roger


    patted the Silver wolf¡¯s head and followed the carriage to the next town.


    As for the Silver Wolf he was riding, it was


    not tamed in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range at all. It was the first creature he had


    summoned when he was testing the summoning spell last night, the Silvermoon


    Direwolf, which had a trace of the bloodline of the Moonhowl Wolf. Since he didn¡¯t have any means of transportation to the capital, he left the Silver Moon Wolf behind.


    At the same time, in order to not let others suspect him, he had specifically asked the Silver Moon Wolf to wait for him at the entrance of the town.


    Under the morning light, the three of them


    and Roger embarked on their journey to the capital.


    However, since he was travelling with the


    three people with special identities, Roger was destined to face a lot of trouble on his way to the capital.


    However, no one knew if these troubles would


    become a helping hand in Roger¡¯s magic training or the source of his future trifles.

 Chapter 28 - An Assassination Attempt

    Chapter 28 An Assassination Attempt


    As the sun hung high in the sky, Roger¡¯s group had already left town and arrived in front of an unknown valley.


    Roger looked at the valley, which was at least a thousand meters long and only wide enough for a carriage to pass through, with steep cliffs on both sides. He suddenly had an ominous feeling.


    He had seen this kind of terrain too many times in his previous life. It was almost the best place for an ambush. When people walked into the valley, they could only see the front and back roads. It was the perfect place to catch a turtle in a jar.


    If it was only the terrain, Roger wouldn¡¯t have had such an ominous feeling. After all, he wasn¡¯t a paranoid person. But when he saw the bigger picture, all kinds of dangerous thoughts rose up in his mind.


    He was not blind. The birds that circled the bushes on the cliff walls on both sides of the valley and did not dare to land on the trees either indicated that there was an ambush or a powerful savage beast wandering there.


    Immediately, Roger quickly stopped the carriage of the three people, ready to warn them that there might be an ambush ahead and ask them if there were any other routes that could bypass the valley ahead.


    However, as soon as Roger stopped the carriage and said that there might be an ambush ahead, the coachman immediately became anxious.


    ¡°Young Master, you can¡¯t say such things.


    I¡¯ve carefully chosen this path. How could someone know about it in advance and set up an ambush here?¡±


    Roger saw the coachman suddenly become anxious and explained that he had personally planned this path and that he was the only one who knew about it. Roger began to have doubts about the coachman.


    ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense. If the valley ahead just looks like a good place for an ambush, I won¡¯t say anything.


    However, there were birds circling the cliffs on both sides of the valley, not daring to land. This meant that there must be terrifying creatures or a large number of people hiding in the valley.


    Even if there is a high-level savage beast around, that does not explain why it¡¯s happening to both sides of the cliff.


    There¡¯s only one possibility left, and that is that there¡¯s a large number of people lying in ambush on the cliff, ready to rob us.¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s analysis, the three of them immediately jumped down from the carriage vigilantly and looked at the cliffs on both sides of the valley.


    After seeing that the situation was the same as what Roger said, their faces turned serious. They were about to return to the carriage, but said to the coachman,


    ¡°Coachman, turn around quickly. We¡¯re going back to town.¡±


    However, after the three of them boarded the


    carriage, they did not see any movement from the coachman. Immediately, an ominous premonition rose in their hearts.


    The coachman looked at the birds on the cliff, his face extremely gloomy. He suddenly


    cursed,


    ¡°They¡¯re all a bunch of good-for-nothings, actually exposing themselves like this. If I


    had known earlier, I would¡¯ve cooperated with this bunch of idiots. They¡¯re really dragging


    me down.


    After saying that, the coachman took advantage of the fact that Roger and the others weren¡¯t paying attention and quickly took out a signal flare from his pocket. After he ignited it, he directly attacked the three people in the carriage.


    The three of them had long since been shocked by the coachman¡¯s actions. When the


    coachman was about to reach the carriage, only did Kasri finally react.


    Just as Kasri was about to activate her


    breathing technique, Roger left his original position in the blink of an eye and kicked the coachman to the ground, saving Kasri and the other two.


    Roger knew the principle of taking advantage


    of a man¡¯s weakness and taking his life, so he took the opportunity when the coachman was on the ground and directly used the fire magic, Explosive Fireball, to blow him up


    into


    pieces. After getting rid of the coachman, Roger turned around and got on his giant wolf. He


    then told the three of them to escape quickly.


    However, the exchange between the coachman and Roger had dumbfounded Kasri.


    Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling shook her with all their might before Kasri regained her senses.


    ¡°Roger, what did you say?¡±


    Upon hearing Kasri¡¯s question, Roger smacked his forehead with his left hand and


    said to the three of them,


    ¡°You three must be fools!


    Didn¡¯t you see that the coachman has already


    released the signal flare? Hurry up and run! We¡¯re sitting ducks out here!¡±


    As soon as Roger said this, the three of them


    instantly came to their senses. They hurriedly cut off the ropes on their horses and mounted them. They then urged their mounts to gallop after Roger. Fortunately, when Kasri¡¯s group of three came out, they had picked four carriages. Even if the three of them took one each, there


    would still be some leftovers. If they had


    chosen one or two carriages, there wouldn¡¯t even be enough horses to share.


    A few minutes after Roger and the other three


    left, almost three-hundred bandits arrived at the place where the coachman had sent the signal flare.


    One of the bandits got off his horse and


    checked the footprints on the ground and the


    body of the coachman. Then, he said to the bandit leader,


    ¡°Boss, the coachman¡¯s blood is still warm, so


    he shouldn¡¯t have been dead for too long. Judging from the hoof prints on the ground, the target this time should be back in the direction the town.¡±


    After the boss heard the report from his


    underling, he immediately said to his subordinates,


    ¡°Little brothers, the employer gave us a lot of gold coins and a breathing technique this time. We must not let these little girls escape. Now, listen to my orders. One group will continue to follow the hoof prints and the rest


    will take a shortcut with me to block them.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he kicked the horse¡¯s belly and led a group of people to turn around and gallop towards the shortcut. The remaining people became extremely excited when their bandit boss talked about money.


    They waved their whips and quickly chased in


    the direction where Kasri and the other three had left.


    At the same time, Roger, who was riding the


    Silver Wolf to escape, asked Kasri, who was beside him,


    ¡°Don¡¯t you people from big families search for the background of your drivers? Which mountain did you find the coachman


    from? if I hadn¡¯t caught him early, the four of us would have been in a pickle.¡± In the face of Roger¡¯s question, Kasri retorted,


    ¡°The coachman has been with our family for more than ten years. Nothing has happened to him in the past. Who could have known


    that it was different, this time? He actually colluded with outsiders to rob us.¡± Roger heard Kasri words and immediately asked in confusion,


    ¡°He¡¯s been your family¡¯s coachman for more


    than ten years. Do you owe him money or does he have a grudge against you? He actually colluded with outsiders to kidnap you. Doesn¡¯t he know your background?¡±


    In the face of Roger¡¯s doubts, Kasri immediately said,


    ¡°What kind of family are we? how can we owe


    others money? Besides, I treat my employees very well. How can they have a grudge against me?¡±


    However, when she said this, Kasri¡¯s originally confident voice became softer and softer, until she fell into deep thought.


    A moment later, Kasri seemed to have thought of something and immediately slowed her mount down.


    When Lan Bingling and Huo Li ¡®er saw that Kasri had stopped, they also stopped. Roger looked at the three people who had stopped and was dumbfounded. He rode the Silver Wolf back to the three people and said helplessly,


    ¡°Sisters, we¡¯re running for our lives. What are you guys doing here!


    We don¡¯t know how many people there are in


    that group of robbers and how strong


    they


    are. If they catch up with us later, we¡¯re


    finished.¡±


    After a few seconds of silence, Kasri said to


    Roger,


    ¡°Roger, you go first. They¡¯re here for us. We


    can¡¯t get you involved.¡±

 Chapter 29 - Killing Bandits

    Chapter 29 Killing Bandits


    Roger helplessly said after hearing what Kasri said,


    ¡°What the hell are you doing? Let¡¯s run back to the town first, and we¡¯ll talk about the rest when we get back, okay?


    Kasri helplessly asked Roger. She looked at Roger with firm eyes and said,


    ¡°These bandits should be my own family. In order to prevent me from going back, they came to kill us.


    We can¡¯t drag you down with us, so you should leave.¡±


    As soon as Kasri finished speaking, she saw Roger¡¯s expression turn extremely ugly.


    Kasri thought Roger did not like the trouble catching up to him, so she took out a bag of gold coins and comforted Roger,


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Roger. They only want to kill us. You¡¯ll be fine after you run back to town.


    Take this bag of gold coins. It¡¯s enough to guarantee you a carefree life for a while. Take it as our thanks.¡±


    However, Roger didn¡¯t take the gold coins that Kasri handed over. Instead, he looked in the direction that they had fled from and said helplessly,


    ¡°No need, they¡¯ve already caught up.¡±


    Roger¡¯s words shocked the three of them, and they quickly turned to look in the direction they had come from.


    When the three of them turned around,


    hundreds of bandits were riding on their


    mounts and charging at them at high speed, accompanied by clouds of dust.


    When the three of them saw this, they


    immediately tried to escape.


    However, at that moment, the three of them


    heard Roger say,


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to run, there are more


    people coming in from the front.¡±


    As soon as Roger finished speaking, the three


    of them saw the sound of horse hooves coming from a corner not far ahead.


    A few seconds later, with a burst of excited roars, nearly two hundred bandits roared and rushed toward the four of them.


    With a pack of wolves in front and tigers and leopards behind, and with no way to escape on either side, the three of them stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. Meanwhile, Roger sat on his Silver Wolf with a gloomy face. He was calculating what kind of magic combination he could use to keep all the bandits here.


    After all, in such a big clash, there was no


    point concealing his abilities.


    He had to make sure no surviving witnesses were left.


    As for the three of them, they had deep backgrounds, so he could only bind them with


    a Contract.


    A few minutes later, the three of them and Roger were surrounded by the bandits.


    Kasri looked at the leader of the vicious bandits and pretended to be calm as she said,


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you doing this for money?


    As long as you let us go, I can give you as


    much as you want after we return.¡±


    However, in the face of Kasri¡¯s conditions, the


    bandit laughed and said,


    ¡°Young Lady Kasri, do you think that we


    wouldn¡¯t know about the identities of you,


    Young Lady Huo Li ¡®er, and Young Lady Lan


    Bingling?


    How much do you think they would have paid us to take your heads?¡±


    The bandit boss¡¯s question made the faces of the three of them instantly turn pale.


    Then, Kasri said,


    ¡°Since you know who we are, and you¡¯re not


    doing this for money, you¡¯re doing this for my life.


    I¡¯ll let you do whatever you want to me, but I hope you can let Huo Li ¡®er and the others go.¡±


    As soon as Kasri¡¯s words fell, the bandit leader¡¯s face suddenly revealed a strange


    smile.


    ¡°Miss Kasri, we know who you are, but we


    didn¡¯t choose to kill you when you were alone, do you still not understand what this means?


    I¡¯m afraid the four of you here will not be able


    to leave this place alive today.¡±


    Kasri¡¯s heart turned cold.


    She originally thought that these bandits were


    only here to kill her. She didn¡¯t expect other forces to be involved.


    The smile on the bandit leader¡¯s face grew


    even wider when he saw the pale faces of the three ladies.


    He had accepted this mission because he loved


    to see the disciples of the big families fight among themselves and look at them in


    despair.


    He said to the three of them, ¡°Miss Blue sweetie, Young Master Long,


    Young Master Klino asked me to send my regards to you.¡±


    As soon as he said this, the faces of the three ladies changed. Just as they were about to speak up, they felt a sense of dizziness sweep through their bodies.


    When the bandit leader saw that the three of


    them struggling to remain on their horses, a sinister smile appeared on his face. ¡°Miss Kasri, do you feel dizzy and listless


    right now?¡±


    When Kasri heard his words, she immediately


    braced herself and said to the him,


    ¡°What did you do to us?¡±


    As soon as Kasri¡¯s words fell, the bandit


    leader immediately replied,


    ¡°I know that the three of you aren¡¯t weak and


    have your own forbidden techniques. If we were to fight you head-on, not many of us would be left.


    That¡¯s why the water you drank in the


    carriage was already drugged by the


    coachman. I was just buying time for it to kick in.¡±


    The hearts of the three ladies instantly turned


    cold. They knew that it was impossible to leave this place today.


    Just as Kasri was about to say something to


    Roger, the three of them couldn¡¯t take it anymore and fell off their horses, unconscious.


    When the bandit leader¡¯s underling saw this,


    he immediately congratulated the bandit leader,


    ¡°Congratulations, boss. You took down Kasri¡¯


    group of three without any effort. As expected of General Omrik, you pay equal attention to both strategy and force. You¡¯re a hero of our generation!


    The bandit leader laughed at his underling¡¯s compliment and said,


    ¡°You¡¯re good with words, kid. I¡¯ll give you a


    few more gold coins when we get back so that


    you can have the money to go to Spring Breeze Alley.


    As soon as the bandit leader finished


    speaking, the rewarded underling immediately said, ¡°Thank you, boss.


    Boss, what about the kid?¡±


    After the bandit leader heard this, he stared at


    Roger for a few seconds and said to his underling,


    ¡°He¡¯s not a bad-looking kid. If he doesn¡¯t


    resist, he¡¯ll be thrown into Spring Breeze


    Alley and serve with his body. If he resists, he¡¯ll be killed.


    I hate people who are more handsome than


    me.


    The bandit leader¡¯s words infuriated Roger,


    who was thinking about how to kill all the bandits.


    He directly cursed at him. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take a look at what you look


    like? You hate people who are more handsome


    than you. I think anyone is more handsome


    than you. The bandit leader was annoyed by Roger¡¯s words and immediately ordered his men to


    hack him to death.

 Chapter 30 - Eliminating The Bandits

    Chapter 30 Eliminating The Bandits


    At the shout of their angry bandit leader, several bandits attacked Roger with their big swords.


    Roger looked at the bandits who were attacking him and sneered. He waved his hand and released a wind blade, cutting several bandits in half.


    When the bandit leader saw Roger kill several of his underlings so easily, he instantly knew that he had encountered a tough opponent.


    However, in order to complete the mission and confirm the elimination of Kasri¡¯s group of three, even if he encountered a tough opponent, he would have to grit his teeth and swallow it down to kill Roger.


    Then, he took out the big sword from his waist, pointed it at Roger, and roared angrily, ¡°A pretty boy like you actually dared to kill my people. You must be really tired of living. Brothers, whoever hurts this pretty boy, I¡¯ll reward you with five gold coins. If you kill this pretty boy, I¡¯ll reward you with an advanced breathing technique!¡±


    With high risks came high rewards. As soon as the bandit leader made his announcement,


    his underlings quickly disregarded Roger¡¯s show of strength.


    They all shouted and charged at Roger, waving their big swords and attacking him.


    As all the Second-rank bandits charged at him, Roger remained calm.


    He jumped off the Silver Wolf and walked to Kasri¡¯s prone body. He then cast a layer of protective magic array on the three of them.


    A bloodthirsty look gradually appeared on his face. After he slowly pulled out a long sword from his back. He waved it a few times, and several sharp crescent blades of wind instantly shot out, cutting off the limbs of all the bandits ¡®mounts that were charging at him.


    Dozens of bandits who had come to kill him fell off their horses. The moment the lucky bandits fell off their horses, they rolled to the side and only suffered minor injuries.


    As for the unlucky bandits, the moment they fell off the horses, they were directly struck and crushed to death by their crippled


    mounts.


    Looking at the bandits who couldn¡¯t even take his attack, Roger had a mocking expression on his face. He provoked the bandit leader


    with a cold tone,


    ¡°Just a motley crew, no order in their tactics,


    only relying on numbers.


    Dozens of dead Second-ranks against a Second-rank kid like me. What a bunch of trash.¡±


    In the face of Roger¡¯s ridicule, the bandit leader¡¯s face instantly became extremely gloomy. The anger that was ignited by Roger¡¯s provocation just now instantly increased by 30%. He roared at Roger,


    ¡°Pretty boy, don¡¯t think that you can force me to retreat by cutting off a few horse legs and


    making me lose a few men.


    When I started doing this, you were still suckling milk!


    Brothers, let this self-righteous gigolo see


    how powerful we are. Let him know why the Empire has still let us run free for so many


    years.


    ¡°Yes, boss. We must let this pretty boy see our


    power.¡±


    Upon hearing the bandit leader¡¯s words, Roger was suddenly interested. He wanted to


    see what the bandit leader¡¯s trump cards


    were.


    Then, he shouted to the bandit leader in a


    teasing tone,


    ¡°Then you¡¯d better be quick. If you take too


    long, I¡¯m leaving with the ladies!¡±


    The bandit leader¡¯s face turned red with anger


    at Roger¡¯s teasing.


    Although he didn¡¯t know what Roger meant about leaving, Roger¡¯s teasing tone made him


    feel very uncomfortable.


    Then, all the bandits formed a triangular-square formation with the bandit leader at the top. They formed an energy-gathering formation and gathered all the power in their bodies into the bandit leader, rapidly increasing his strength. Roger looked at the formation, which was


    similar to what he once seen in a series. He


    was interested. He wanted to see how powerful this energy-gathering formation


    was.


    Then, while the bandit leader was gathering


    energy, he added several layers of defensive magic arrays to himself, ready to resist their attack and see if there was anything he could learn from the other party¡¯s magic arrays. A few seconds later, all the bandits ¡®energy had gathered into the bandit leader¡¯s body. Lava-like patterns appeared all over the bandit leader¡¯s body, and his pupils had disappeared. His eyeballs had become two empty holes that emitted a white light.


    Roger who had the inheritance of the Arcane World, instantly understood that the bandit leader had turned into such a terrifying state


    because he could not withstand the influx of


    energy.


    Roger¡¯s blood started rushing. He wasn¡¯t afraid at all, only excited.


    Then, he made an insulting gesture to the


    bandit leader, which was common in the other world, and asked the bandit leader to come at him.


    The bandit leader looked at Roger¡¯s insulting hand gesture and aloofness. He was overwhelmed by anger. He raised the long sword in his hand and attacked Roger. Roger looked at the bandit leader, who was


    running towards him at a high speed, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer. After enhancing himself with all the spells he knew, he met his charge.


    In an instant, the two of them collided. As the


    sound of their swords clashing continued, the surrounding ground was also damaged by the aftershocks of their battle, causing it to be covered in nicks and craters.


    After fighting with the bandit leader for a few


    minutes, Roger also saw through the bandit leader¡¯s background.


    The enhanced bandit leader had to be around


    the Fifth-rank, but his range of movement


    was also limited. When they strayed further from the energy-gathering array¡¯s range of 100 meters, his strength would begin to


    weaken.


    After figuring out the strength of the bandit boss and the situation of the energy-gathering array, Roger did not have the intention to continue probing.


    Then, he struck with all his might and sent


    the bandit leader flying back to the energy-gathering formation. He brandished


    hundreds of wind blades and attacked the bandit leader and the others. While the bandit leader and the others were


    busy fending off the gale blades, Roger used some earth magic that he had learned from


    the Arcane World. It had both attack power and terrain-controlling abilities, the earth swamp, to trap the bandit leader and all his


    men.


    After the bandit leader and the others were dealt with, Roger released hundreds of wind


    blades.


    Roger didn¡¯t give the bandits a chance to


    catch their breath. He directly activated the earth swamp magic array and turned the ground under the bandits¡¯ feet into a pool of


    mud.


    As the bandits realized that something was wrong with the ground, they started


    to


    struggle, and the speed at which they were swallowed by the mud only accelerated. In just a few moments, all the bandits were


    swallowed by the mud while they cursed and begged for mercy. They were buried deep underground, never to come out again to harm others.

 Chapter 31 - A Black Pot Falls From The Sky

    Chapter 31 A Black Pot Falls From The Sky


    After dealing with all the bandits, Roger patted off the dust on his body and walked back to the ladies.


    While looking at the three unconscious ladies on the ground, Roger¡¯s head ached. He didn¡¯t know where he should take them.


    The three people that the bandit leader had mentioned should have some sort of enmity with Kasri¡¯s group. Since the other party dared to send people to kill Kasri¡¯s group, they should have made full preparations.


    Therefore, he definitely couldn¡¯t go back to town. He could only continue to head in the direction of the capital.


    With that in mind, Roger immediately began to rummage through the backpacks of the three ladies, trying to find a map to find the way to the capital.


    However, Roger didn¡¯t find a map in the


    backpacks of the three people, which made him extremely frustrated.


    It was fine if he didn¡¯t have one. After all, he was supposed to accompany them. However, don¡¯t disciples of big families bring maps when they came out?


    After feeling depressed for a moment, Roger walked to a big tree and used analysis spell, Alchemy Recombination, to reforge the big tree into a wooden carriage.


    He found a few strong vines and used them as reins to tie the horses. After tying the three horses and linking them to the carriage, an exquisite carriage was completed in less than five minutes.


    After using magic to toss the three of them and their backpacks into the carriage, Roger sat in the carriage and reluctantly became the coachman.


    With the Silver Wolf tailing the carriage, he whipped the horses and drove it towards the only destination he knew so far, the Qiulan Castle.


    However, as they had been delayed by the bandits, Roger had cast a spell on the carriage, the Silver Wolf, and the three horses in order to reach Qiulan Castle before dark.


    With the help of Roger¡¯s magic, they finally arrived at Qiulan Castle before the sun set and the gates were closed.


    He found an inn and asked the attendant to house the carriage, horses, and Silver Wolf in the backyard.


    In order not to raise suspicion, Roger used the wood element spell, String Puppet, to control the three unconscious ladies to walk behind him.


    At the same time, he used the analysis spell, Thousand Faces, to change the appearance of three three ladies, and brought them to stay in the inn.


    In order to prevent any accidents from happening to the three of them, Roger had specially chosen the best room in the inn, the plum blossom courtyard.


    He paid the deposit and moved into the plum blossom courtyard. He tipped the attendant a gold coin and asked him to prepare dinner. He told the attendant not to let anyone disturb them before he came out.


    After half an hour, the attendant brought his dinner. Roger sent him out and warned him to remember what he said. At the same time, he gave the attendant a gold coin. After getting the attendant¡¯s promise, he returned to the plum blossom courtyard.


    After returning to the plum blossom courtyard, Roger immediately used the Dark Moon Magic Array to cover the entire courtyard.


    He quickly finished his dinner and sat cross-legged in the yard, cultivating the Galaxy Meditation Technique while waiting for Kasri and her companions to wake up.


    Cultivation knew no time, and in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.


    Roger didn¡¯t feel that much time had passed after he had fallen into the Galaxy Meditation Technique before he heard a scream.


    Thinking that something had happened to the three of them, Roger hurriedly pulled himself out of the Galaxy Meditation Technique and teleported to the ladies¡¯ room.


    However, as soon as Roger entered the room of


    the three, he caused the three of them to


    scream again.


    Roger took one look and hurriedly teleported


    out of their room and returned to the open


    space in the courtyard.


    More than half an hour after Roger left, the


    three of them finally put on their clothes and walked out of the room with blushing faces. Huo Li ¡®er, who came out of the room, was still blushing. However, the moment she saw Roger, her anger immediately exploded. ¡°Roger, I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person.


    You actually took advantage of us when we were unconscious and did that to us.


    And you did it to all three of us, do you have any shame?!


    Can¡¯t you do it separately?¡±


    However, just as Huo Li ¡®er said the last sentence, she instantly realized that something was wrong and immediately changed her


    words,


    ¡°No, even if you do it separately, you¡¯re still a


    hooligan!¡±


    Faced with Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s angry scolding, Kasri¡¯s and Lan Bingling¡¯s embarrassment and anger, Roger¡¯s face was filled with helplessness.


    ¡°Look here, I was cultivating in the courtyard


    since last night and didn¡¯t even enter your


    rooms.


    I didn¡¯t even touch you when I sent you to your


    room!¡±


    Faced with Roger¡¯s explanation, Huo Li ¡®er immediately rebuked angrily,


    ¡°Who are you lying to?


    You didn¡¯t even touch us, and you sent us


    unconscious into the room. Do you know how to lie?¡±


    Before Huo Li ¡®er could finish her scolding, she


    saw Roger wave his hand at the teacup beside him, and the teacup flew into his hand. As the three ladies looked on in surprise, in the


    courtyard, the stone table and stone chairs that weighed at least 500 pounds also followed Roger¡¯s hand gesture and flew a few rounds in


    the air before landing steadily on the ground. Kasri and the other two were dumbfounded. The three of them had seen all the breathing techniques on the continent.


    However, as the most powerful empire on the


    continent, the descendants of the large families of the empire had seen at least eight thousand breathing techniques.


    However, they had never seen a breathing


    technique that allowed a cultivator to control an object. Roger¡¯s magic truly astonished them. However, even though she had seen Roger¡¯s skills, Huo Li ¡®er still felt that Roger had done something to them last night. Otherwise, how could they have been stripped naked? ¡°Even if you prove that you can send us into


    the house without using your hands, how are you going to explain how our clothes were taken off?¡±


    Faced with Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s question, Roger was also extremely puzzled. When he had sent the three of them into the room, their clothes were


    not exactly in pristine condition, but he had still kept them on.


    Why did the three of them become naked this morning?


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know!


    I sent you to your rooms last night, and after


    dinner, I cultivated in the yard and never went in again!¡±


    Huo Li ¡®er did not believe Roger¡¯s explanation at all. ¡°You can just keep lying with a straight face.


    We¡¯re already in this state, and you still don¡¯t admit it. You, you¡¯re so cowardly!¡± As Huo Li ¡®er spoke, she actually slowly squatted down and said with a slightly sobbing


    tone,


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for me to get rid of that cripple,


    but I didn¡¯t expect you to do that kind of thing to me while I was unconscious.¡±


    While looking at the crying Huo Li ¡®er, as well as the pale, disappointed, and hateful Kasri and Lan Bingling, Roger was like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

 Chapter 32 - Great Injustice

    Chapter 32 Great Injustice


    Just when Roger didn¡¯t know how to explain it, an idea flashed in his mind, and he


    immediately said to the three of them in high spirits,


    ¡°Hey, after a girl does that kind of thing for the first time, her whole body will be sore and weak, and there will be a tearing pain in her lower body.


    But the three of you are perfectly fine, and you still have the energy to cry and make a fuss here. You look so energetic, unlike last night!¡±


    Roger¡¯s explanation made the three people who originally hated Roger freeze on the spot for a few seconds.


    A few seconds later, the three of them hurriedly jumped on the spot a few times. After not feeling any discomfort, they instantly heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, the three of them suddenly thought of something. After looking at each other, they all looked at Roger with strange eyes.


    Just as Roger was getting goosebumps from the three people¡¯s strange looks, Huo Li ¡®er glanced at Roger¡¯s lower body with an inexplicable look and said in a surprised tone,


    ¡°Roger, you can¡¯t do it, can you?


    You¡¯re not moved at all after taking off our clothes?¡±


    Faced with Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s strange gaze, Roger felt as if he was about to fly up from the spot. He then furiously roared at the three of them,


    ¡°You three are idiots!


    I didn¡¯t do that to the three of you, and you actually think of me that way.


    If I had known this would happen, I would have let you know last night whether I can do it or not!¡±


    In the face of Roger¡¯s roar, Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s expression immediately changed, and she roared at Roger,


    ¡°You¡¯re still denying it? You¡¯ve already admitted that you were the one who took off our clothes last night.¡±


    Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s furious roar made Roger, who had lost his mind due to anger, instantly clear his head. After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the grievance in his heart and said to Huo Li¡¯ er and the other two,


    ¡°I was too angry with you just now. I didn¡¯t enter your room last night, nor did I take off your clothes.¡±


    However, after hearing Roger¡¯s words, Huo Li ¡®er didn¡¯t believe his explanation at all. She immediately circulated the Golden Sun Breathing Technique and attacked Roger at top speed while he wasn¡¯t paying attention.


    Looking at Huo Li ¡®er, who was wrapped in golden flames and attacking him, Roger could no longer suppress the grievance in his heart.


    He immediately used the wood spell, Vine Winding, to control the vines on the plum blossom tree in the courtyard. He wrapped Huo Li ¡®er up like a cocoon and hung her upside down on the plum blossom tree, leaving only her delicate face exposed.


    After seeing that Huo Li ¡®er had been subdued,


    both Kasri and Lan Bingling looked at each other and circulated their family¡¯s breathing techniques to attack Roger.


    Roger was too tired to care. He directly used the same magic and the same gestures to hang the two of them upside down from the plum


    tree.


    Roger pulled a stone chair in front of the three


    of them. He crossed his legs and sat on the stone chair. After that, he said to the three of


    them,


    ¡°You¡¯re finally being honest this time, aren¡¯t you? How dare you attack me? You¡¯re treating


    my kindness as ill intent. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have saved the three of


    you.¡±


    The three people who had been wrapped up like cocoons looked at Roger, who was in front of them, and they suddenly felt so wronged that tears welled up on their faces. Even Lan Bingling, who was quite the


    ice-queen, was starting to tear up. Tears were glistening in her eyes as she looked at Roger


    with hatred.


    After Kasri glanced at Huo Li ¡®er and Lan


    Bingling, she forcefully suppressed the tears in her eyes. Her gaze gradually became incomparably firm as he spoke to Roger with a gentle tone,


    ¡°Roger, it was our fault just now. We shouldn¡¯t


    have laughed at you. As long as you let Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling go, I¡¯ll be willing to let


    you deal with me.¡±


    Roger was instantly dumbfounded.


    Didn¡¯t he just want to teach the three of them a


    lesson and hang them upside down for a few minutes to calm them down?


    Why did it feel like he was the villain now,


    ready to rob women and force them into


    prostitution?


    However, before Roger could react, Huo Li ¡®er


    cried like a pear blossom tree bathed in rain and roared at him,


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch Sister Kasri, if you want to touch someone, then touch me.


    As long as you¡¯re not afraid of my dad looking for you, you can try!¡±


    As soon as Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s words fell, Lan Bingling


    continued the conversation with an ice-cold tone. She said to Roger,


    ¡°Roger, let them go. If there¡¯s anything, come


    at me.


    I was the one who approached you first, and I was also the one who had people find you. Everything started because of me. As long as you let them go, you can do whatever you want to me. I promise I won¡¯t tell anyone, and they won¡¯t tell anyone either. Furthermore, I¡¯m one of the only two successors of the Lan family. As long as I can


    defeat my opponent, I can become the head of the Lan family.


    As long as you can control me, it¡¯s the same as controlling the entire Lan family.¡± When they heard that Lan Bingling had


    revealed her identity in order to save the two of them, Kasri and Huo Li ¡®er immediately begged Roger to not touch Lan Bingling. If he wanted


    to touch someone, he should touch the two of them. As he watched the three sisters who were


    wailing and begging for mercy on each others


    behalves, he couldn¡¯t help but think that their sisterly love was stronger than gold. Roger remembered that in his previous life, those few brothers he had would care for him


    and would help him with anything. They had never looked down on each because of their


    status. As for the three of them, when they saw Roger, who was unmoved by their pleas, his expression became extremely unsightly. After the three of them looked at each other, a


    hint of determination flashed in their eyes. They were prepared to bite their tongues to


    commit suicide so that Roger wouldn¡¯t benefit from it.


    Just as Kasri and the other two were about to


    take action, Roger, who had just snapped out of his daze, saw Kasri and the other two trying their best to stick out their tongues, ready to bite off their own.


    Roger was shocked by the sudden change in the situation. He quickly controlled the vines to form three balls and stuffed them into their


    mouths. Looking at the three of them biting their


    tongues and their listless eyes, Roger was speechless and roared,


    ¡°You three are sick!


    Use your pig brains and think, I already have


    the ability to kill the three of you in an instant,


    so why would I not dare to admit that I took off your clothes?


    If I had really taken off your clothes last night, as a normal person, I would have long lost control and attacked you. Then, I would have


    killed you and dumped your bodies. How could I have left you here?¡±


    However, in the face of Roger¡¯s explanation, although the three of them regained some color in their eyes, they still did not believe Roger. In the face of the three people¡¯s imagination, Roger couldn¡¯t think of any way for a while. He was so anxious that he turned in circles. Just like that, the four of them stayed in this


    strange atmosphere for more than ten minutes. Roger suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to make the three of them believe him.

 Chapter 33 - Time Magic

    Chapter 33 Time Magic


    ¡°I have a way to make you believe me.¡±


    After Roger thought of a solution, he excitedly told the three of them. However, the three of them obviously didn¡¯t believe Roger¡¯s words and continued to glare at him.


    Seeing that the three of them were still glaring at him in disbelief, Roger didn¡¯t explain much. He immediately used the time spell, Historical Reflection, creating an illusion of everything that had happened last night. He wanted to let the three of them see if he had taken off their clothes last night.


    Under the hateful gazes of Kasri and the other two, Roger raised his left hand and drew a


    six-pointed star array in the air. He then chanted,


    ¡°The mysterious river of time, I hereby use my own magic power as a guide to summon the projection of time in the past and find out the truth of everything in the past. Historical Reflection!


    As Roger activated the spell, an illusion of the river of time appeared in the space not far from the three of them.


    Under the astonished and incredulous gazes of Kasri and the other two, the illusionary image of the river of time began to reflect the scene of the three of them entering the room last night.


    Yesterday, when the sun had set, Roger had sent the three of them to their room and then closed the door and left the room.


    After an unknown period of time, Huo Li ¡®er suddenly stood up as if she was sleepwalking. She walked around the room for a few rounds and drank some water from the table.


    She took off all her clothes and threw them to the side of the bed.


    After Huo Li ¡®er had taken off her own clothes and returned to her bed to rest for a few minutes, she suddenly stood up again. She took off all of Kasri¡¯s and Lan Bingling¡¯s clothes and threw them on the ground.


    Then, like a caterpillar, she wriggled between them. She quickly fell asleep.


    When she woke up in the morning and realized


    that all her clothes had been taken off, she began to scream in fear, waking up Kasri and Lan Bingling.


    As for Roger, ever since he sent the three of them to their rooms, he had never once


    entered their rooms again.


    As everything that had happened last night came to mind, Roger immediately said


    excitedly to the three of them,


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I didn¡¯t enter your room last night.


    You guys were spouting nonsense, especially


    you, Huo Li ¡®er. You were the one who took stripped everyone naked, and now you¡¯re accusing me!¡±


    In the face of Roger¡¯s questioning, the hatred in the eyes of Kasri and the other two had long disappeared when Huo Li ¡®er took off their clothes. Instead, their faces turned red from


    embarrassment.


    The three of them didn¡¯t respond for a few minutes after Roger finished speaking. Only then did he remember that he had stuffed their mouths full.


    He hurriedly removed the ball of vines in the three people¡¯s mouths and the vines that were wrapped around them. After he put the three people down, he saw that they were still blushing. Their eyes refused to meet his.


    Roger suddenly remembered that when he had used the time magic-historical reflection to replay last night¡¯s events, he seemed to have watched the scene from the beginning to the end. He had also seen their bodies.


    Thinking of this, Roger¡¯s face instantly turned red. The scenes he had just seen kept replaying in his mind.


    At that moment, the three of them believed


    Roger¡¯s words. Although the scene that Roger had shown them looked highly implausible, every detail of the three of them was exactly the same as their bodies.


    Furthermore, they had been staying with Huo Li ¡®er for a few days and knew that she had the habit of sleepwalking. Moreover, she liked to sleep naked.


    As long as she slept with them, their clothes would definitely disappear the next day.


    So, everything that happened this morning was because the three of them were being unreasonable and had wronged Roger. At first, the three of them felt sorry for Roger


    and wanted to apologize to him. However, when they thought about how Roger had watched the video from the beginning to the end, they felt that they had been wrong.


    He had seen all three of their pure and innocent bodies. Even their private parts were completely exposed when Huo Li ¡®er had undressed them.


    At that moment, the three of them wished they


    could find a hole in the ground to hide in. They were not willing to stay here and face this death sentence.


    In the strange atmosphere, the four of them


    did not dare to speak. Time flew by quickly, and it was already 10 at night.


    The four of them had not moved an inch the


    entire morning. Kasri and the other two were still standing under the plum tree, while Roger was sitting on the stone chair with his head lowered, deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.


    At that moment, several sounds of hungry


    protests came from the stomachs of the three ladies, which brought Roger back to his senses.


    After a moment of silence, Roger raised his head and asked the three of them, ¡°Um, I¡¯m a little hungry. Do you guys want to


    eat something?¡±


    Kasri knew that keeping silent was not a solution, so she slowly nodded.


    After Kasri nodded, Roger instantly got up and


    ran out of the plum blossom courtyard, as if his butt was on fire. He was ready to escape from this extremely embarrassing situation. After Rogerleft, Kasri and the other two looked


    at each other with blushing faces. Kasri was the first to speak to Huo Li ¡®er,


    ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, it¡¯s all your fault. What kind of bad habit is this of yours? Isn¡¯t it enough that we¡¯ve been seen by Roger once? Because we forced him into it, he even used a


    strange technique to replay what happened last night.


    He looked at the three of us from head to toe.¡± Huo Li ¡®er also felt extremely ashamed under Kasri¡¯s questioning. She lowered her head, her fingernails subconsciously twining as she replied in a wronged tone,


    ¡°I¡¯ve had this problem since I was young. I can¡¯t help it.¡±


    While looking at Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s aggrieved


    expression, Kasri¡¯s face was filled with helplessness.


    The three of them were all unmarried, but


    now, they had been looked at from top to


    bottom by a man who had just met them a few times.


    Roger was talented and handsome. As long as he didn¡¯t die young in the future, he would definitely become the strongest person on the continent. Moreover, Roger had saved them several times.


    Logically speaking, they shouldn¡¯t be repulsed by such a matter.


    However, that was when Roger and one of


    them were together. Now, Roger had seen all three of them.


    After a moment of silence, Kasri said to Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling, ¡°Huo Li ¡®er, Lan Bingling, we¡¯ve made an oath


    before. If anyone wants to see our bodies, besides the person they love in the future, anyone else will only see our corpses.


    In this situation, Roger still saw all three of us.


    So, we only have two choices. One is to marry Roger, and the other is to leave this world. What do you guys think we should do?¡±


    Faced with Kasri¡¯s question, Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling fell into silence.


    Kasri looked at the two of them who had fallen


    into silence. After a moment of silence, she said to them,


    ¡°I won¡¯t interfere with your choice.


    My choice is to marry Roger.


    Ever since he saved me from the mouth of the


    me


    giant crocodile and unintentionally freed from that disgusting engagement, I have undeniably developed a good impression of


    Roger.


    In addition, I didn¡¯t feel disgusted when he saw


    my naked body.


    That¡¯s why I¡¯ll marry Roger. No matter how he treats me, I¡¯ll marry him.¡± After Kasri finished speaking, she didn¡¯t say anything else. She silently waited for Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling¡¯s decision.

 Chapter 34 - Three Heavenly Wives

    Chapter 34 Three Heavenly Wives


    After Kasri had finished speaking, Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling remained silent for a


    moment. After looking at each other, Huo Li¡¯ er took the lead and said,


    ¡°I¡¯m also willing to marry Roger. In the past, I swore that if I were to marry, I would marry someone who could beat me, a peerless genius.


    Roger easily meets my standards, and he¡¯s already seen my body naked, so I¡¯m willing to marry him.¡±


    After Huo Li ¡®er finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Lan Bingling.


    After Lan Bingling thought about it for a moment, her eyes gradually became


    determined. She said to Kasri and Huo Li ¡®er,


    ¡°I¡¯ve made the same choice as you, to marry Roger.


    On one hand, it¡¯s because Roger indeed meets the standards of my future husband. On the other hand, I can¡¯t die yet. I have to inherit the position of the Lan family head and fulfill my mother¡¯s last wish.¡±


    After the three of them reached an agreement, they smiled.


    At that moment, Roger pushed open the courtyard door, and three attendants followed behind him to serve the dishes.


    After the food was placed on the stone table, they consciously left the courtyard.


    After Roger carefully sat on the stone chair, he said to the three of them,


    ¡°Well, hurry up and eat. We¡¯ll continue on our way after eating.¡±


    He didn¡¯t dare to look up to meet their eyes. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.


    When the three of them saw Roger¡¯s meek appearance, the smile on their faces became even brighter, causing Roger, who was picking up food, to be stunned for a moment.


    Roger, who reacted after that, quickly lowered his head. He didn¡¯t even dare to look at the three of them, and only dared to pick up the stir-fried red cabbage in front of him.


    When the three of them saw Roger¡¯s subdued embarrassment, they also picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. They were going to tell Roger their decision after he finished eating.


    Since the three of them and Roger were truly famished, the four of them finished the eight dishes and a bowl of soup in less than ten minutes.


    After the attendants came in and removed the bowls and chopsticks, Roger saw that the three of them were still sitting on the stone chairs, neither speaking nor leaving. He did not dare to speak first and could only sit on the stone chair obediently.


    After Kasri and the other two looked at each other, Kasri, who was the senior of Huo Li ¡®er and Lan Bingling, took on the task of laying all the cards on the table with Roger.


    ¡°Roger, this morning¡¯s incident was caused by us.¡±


    Before Kasri could finish, Roger interrupted her in a panic. He waved his hands and said, ¡°Kasri, Huo Li ¡®er, Lan Bingling, I didn¡¯t do it


    on purpose this morning. I was forced into a corner this morning and that was why I used that method.


    Although I ended up looking, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I just glanced at it a few times and didn¡¯t see anything clearly. I¡¯m stunned.¡±


    Looking at Roger¡¯s flustered appearance, the three of them looked at each other and couldn¡¯t


    hold back their laughter.


    Roger, who was originally panicking, laughed


    in relief when he saw that the three of them


    didn¡¯t blame him.


    For a moment, he thought that the three of them had lost their minds because of him. He immediately got up and prepared to use light magic to see if he could cure them.


    Just as Roger stood up, Kasri suppressed the laughter in her heart and said to Roger in a serious tone,


    ¡°Roger, don¡¯t interrupt me. You can continue after I¡¯m done.¡±


    When Kasri¡¯s expression changed, Roger didn¡¯t


    dare to move anymore. He was afraid that Kasri would suddenly pick up her sword and cut him down.


    Although he did not think Kasri posed a threat


    to him, they were finally getting off to a good start. It would be ridiculous if they killed each other over this.


    So, he obediently sat on the stone chair and


    said to Kasri,


    ¡°I won¡¯t interrupt you. Pleasee god ahead, go


    ahead.¡±


    After seeing Roger¡¯s attitude, Kasri immediately said to Roger with a serious


    expression,


    ¡°Roger, after the discussion between us three


    sisters, we decided that we won¡¯t hold it against you for seeing our bodies this morning.


    However, you have to promise us one thing. Otherwise, even if we can¡¯t defeat you, we¡¯ll drag you down with us.¡±


    Roger heaved a sigh of relief as soon as Kasri finished speaking.


    As long as the three of them didn¡¯t pursue the


    matter, he could agree to anything. As for the three of them perishing together with him, Roger wasn¡¯t worried at all.


    After all, he had the inheritance of the Arcane


    World. As long as he was given some time, he could even drag the dead back from the netherworld.


    He was afraid that the three of them would ask


    for something that he couldn¡¯t fulfill. ¡°Alright, as long as you don¡¯t pursue this


    matter, I¡¯ll agree to three of your conditions, let alone one.¡±


    After seeing Roger take the bait, Kasri immediately said to Roger,


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, my condition is that you¡¯ll have to marry the three of us.¡± As soon as Kasri finished speaking, Roger


    jumped up from his stone chair as if his butt


    was on fire. He asked loudly with a face full of disbelief,


    ¡°Kasri, I didn¡¯t hear you clearly. Repeat what you just said!¡±


    To Roger¡¯s disbelieving expression, Kasri slowly repeated what she had just said.


    ¡°I said, my condition is that you¡¯ll have to marry the three of us.¡±


    After Roger confirmed that he didn¡¯t mishear


    it, he instantly felt as if his spine had been extracted. He fell to the ground and looked at the three people in disbelief.


    ¡°You three must be out of your minds. I¡¯m just a commoner with a broken house. I¡¯m


    a bit strong, but not that strong. I don¡¯t have ten gold coins on me.


    One of you is the Young Lady of a large Chamber of Commerce, the other is the daughter of a noble, and the other is the heir of the empire¡¯s largest pharmaceutical company. This statement of yours is even scarier than the entire continent dying tomorrow!¡±


    The three of them looked at Roger¡¯s shocked expression with joy written all over their faces. They had finally gotten their revenge for being hung upside down by Roger this morning.


    After chuckling for a moment, Kasri said to Roger, ¡°We¡¯re not joking. We¡¯ve made an oath between us sisters before. The consequences of seeing our bodies are either to be our husbands


    or to be killed by us.


    But you¡¯re too strong, we can¡¯t kill you. Plus,


    we don¡¯t reject you, so we decided to marry


    you.


    If you don¡¯t marry us, then the three of us will immediately take our lives in front of you.¡± Kasri¡¯s words made Roger dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t expect his unintentional actions in the morning to actually get him three peerless beauties as his wives. Roger didn¡¯t know if he should be happy about


    it.

 Chapter 35 - Trust

    Chapter 35 Trust


    Roger pondered for a moment under the gazes of the three ladies and said to them,


    ¡°Kasri, Huo Li ¡®er, Lan Bingling, we¡¯ve only met a few times. Although I¡¯ve seen all of your naked bodies, I still don¡¯t have any feelings for you.


    So I won¡¯t marry the three of you for the time being. When I develop love for the three of you, and my strength and status are comparable to the families behind you, I will officially marry you.¡±


    The three of them understood that this was the best solution.


    After all, although the three of them had decided to marry Roger, they were not ready to get married yet.


    Although they had a good impression of Roger, it was only a good impression, not to the


    extent that they would make him their soulmate.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine too. It¡¯s a deal, then. When your strength and status are comparable to the families behind us, you must officially marry


    us.


    After Kasri finished speaking, Roger didn¡¯t respond. Lan Bingling and Huo Li ¡®er didn¡¯t speak either. Hence, the entire atmosphere gradually became extremely strange.


    A few minutes later, Roger couldn¡¯t stand the atmosphere anymore, so he said,


    ¡°Kasri, who were the three people that the group of people who robbed yesterday were talking about?


    How dare they hire bandits to kill you? According to the strength of those bandits, if I wasn¡¯t here yesterday, you would have been thrown into the mountains to feed the savage beasts.


    This is the same as sending you all to your deaths!¡±


    After Roger asked the question, Kasri was silent for a moment before telling Roger the reason why the three of them wanted to kill them.


    ¡°The Young Master Long that the bandits were talking about is the one who was about to sign a marriage contract with Huo Li ¡®er but was rejected by her.


    He probably saw that the marriage was as lost cause, so he joined forces with others to kill us and erase Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s stain.


    Klino is my older brother, and he was the one who couldn¡¯t bear to see me return the most, since my father only had two children.


    With me out of the way, Klino¡¯s chances of inheriting the Thunderbolt Chamber of


    Commerce will greatly increase.


    Lan Tiantian was another candidate to compete with Lan Bingling for the clan leader¡¯s position.


    Due to the Lan family¡¯s rules, before the successor rises to the position of clan leader, the opponent could use any means to intercept and kill them. As long as the opponent is killed, then the successor could inherit the position of clan leader.


    However, the premise of any means is that you can only rely on your own strength to intercept and kill the other party, and you can¡¯t use the people of other clans.¡±


    After Kasri finished speaking, Roger was stunned.


    Young Master Long and Klino¡¯s reasons were still acceptable to Roger, but Lan Bingling¡¯s reason was a little unacceptable to him.


    Wasn¡¯t the Lan family ruthless? The winner would take all, and the loser would be turned into ashes.


    ¡°Then, if Lan Bingling becomes the head of the


    family and kills Lan Tiantian, won¡¯t Lan Tiantian¡¯s followers betray her and cause


    internal strife in the family?¡±


    Lan Bingling then gave an answer to Roger¡¯s


    question.


    ¡°This has been the rule of our Lan family from


    the beginning.


    I¡¯ve already taken precautions against the situation you mentioned.


    No matter which candidate becomes the family


    head, the followers and supporters of the other opponents must not take revenge in any sense. They had to obey all the orders of the new


    family head.


    If there are any who disobey, the family will have its own men deal with them.¡±


    Lan Bingling¡¯s explanation made Roger understand the cruelty of the Lan family.


    At the same time, he was extremely impressed by the Lan family¡¯s selection method.


    After all, in this world where the strong were


    respected, only by choosing a clan leader in


    this way, could one live longer in this world.


    Just as Roger was lost in his thoughts, Huo Li ¡®er said,


    ¡°Hey, Roger, since you know everything about us, shouldn¡¯t you tell us your story?¡± In response to Huo Li ¡®er¡¯s question, Roger pondered for a moment and decided to tell the three of them.


    After all, the two worlds would collide in ten


    years. He had to increase his own strength to a level where he could suppress the world-level event.


    He had to recruit subordinates and build a force


    that belonged to him.


    Be it the martial force of the clan behind Huo Li ¡®er, the medicine of the clan behind Lan Bingling, or the financial resources of the clan behind Kasri, he could not lack any of these.


    Therefore, it was necessary to tell them his secret, but before that, he still needed to add a layer of insurance.


    With that thought, Roger waved his hand and


    released the Dark Moon Magic Array. After isolating the entire courtyard, a gray magical array appeared in his hand.


    After the magical array flickered a few times,


    three contracts appeared before the three of


    them.


    ¡°Kasri, if the three of you want to know my secret, then sign this contract.


    The secret behind me is of great importance,


    and it concerns the survival of the entire continent. So, if you don¡¯t sign this contract, I will not tell you.¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s words, the three of them


    looked at each other and signed their names on the contract without thinking. They also pressed their thumbprints on it.


    After the three of them signed the contracts, each contract split into two parts, entering the


    forehead of the persons who signed it and


    Roger. Looking at the three of them signing the contract, Roger was stunned. After a few seconds, he asked Kasri,


    ¡°You guys trust me that much?


    You signed the contract without any hesitation?¡±


    Under Roger¡¯s incredulous gaze, the three of


    them smiled at each other. Then, Kasri said to


    Roger, ¡°The moment you took out this contract, we decided to sign it.


    After all, the three of us are going to be your


    wives. Are you going to buy the three of us?


    And we feel like you¡¯re telling the truth. You wouldn¡¯t lie to us.¡±


    Hearing the trust in Kasri¡¯s voice, Roger¡¯s heart was suddenly filled with tremors.


    This was the first time he had felt trusted, other than from his sons and brothers. ¡°Alright, since you trust me so much, I¡¯ll tell you my secret.


    I¡¯m a guest from the infinite worlds. In ten


    years, your world will collide with my previous world and merge.


    I don¡¯t know why I came to your world, so in


    order to return to my world, I need to stay here for 10 years. I¡¯ll only be able to return after your world and my world have merged.¡±

 Chapter 36 - Arriving At The Capital

    Chapter 36 Arriving At The Capital


    After Roger finished speaking, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the three of them knew that Roger wasn¡¯t crazy and that there was a contract to keep his words in check, they would have thought that Roger was making up a story.


    For a moment, the three of them didn¡¯t know how to respond to Roger¡¯s words, which had crushed their worldviews.


    Roger also knew that what he said was a little hard for the three of them to accept, so he didn¡¯t rush them. Instead, he let the three of them think on their own and stay


    clear-headed.


    As Kasri¡¯s personality was the calmest, after a moment of thought, she was the first to ask,


    ¡°Roger, according to what you said, what will happen when the two worlds merge in ten years? What kind of impact will it have on our world?¡±


    Roger immediately gave an answer as soon as Kasri finished speaking.


    ¡°After the two worlds merge, all the resources, population, continents, and everything will be mutually beneficial.


    At most, after the two worlds merge, the worlds¡¯ ability to withstand their counterparts will increase, and the powerhouses who have reached the peak will have the possibility of advancing a step further.¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s explanation, Kasri fell into silence again.


    According to Roger, after the two worlds merged, no harm would come to their world. Not only could they obtain resources that other worlds didn¡¯t have, but they could also increase the strength of the strongest people in their world. There were simply no disadvantages at all.


    ¡°How big of an impact would it have on the other world?¡±


    Roger looked at Lan Bingling in surprise and then gave the answer.


    ¡°It would be similar. However, that world does not have extraordinary powers, instead it has terrifying technology.


    When the two worlds merge, the initial restrictions are greater. Only inanimate objects, along with the various extraordinary energies of your world, can pass through the world barrier.


    With this buffer period, the powerful technology of that world combined with the extraordinary energy that was diverted from this world, they would be able to adapt and use it in an extremely short time.


    In the later stages, when the two worlds are completely fused and the other world has completely adapted to the extraordinary energy, it will possess abilities that are not inferior to the mightiest in this world.¡±


    After hearing Roger¡¯s story, the three of them looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know how to deal with this world fusion in ten years.


    While looking at the three of them struggling, Roger comforted them,


    it¡¯s useless for you to worry about this now. Only by improving your strength as much as possible and expanding the forces behind you before the two worlds merge, can you safely survive the crisis in ten years.


    Roger¡¯s words were like a bright light that lit up the fog that troubled the three of them. No matter what would happen ten years later, it was not something they should consider now that they were all only at the Second-rank.


    In the Empire, the strength of a Second-rank couldn¡¯t even be compared to that of a footsoldier in the elite army. If they spent their time thinking about the problems of the ultimate powerhouses, wasn¡¯t that just looking


    for trouble?


    What they should do now was to improve their strength and influence as much as possible in the next 10 years, just as Roger had said.


    After thinking it through, the three of them


    instantly let


    go of the knots in their hearts. When he saw the three of them calming down Roger said,


    ¡°It seems that the three of you already know what our current goal is.


    In that case, I won¡¯t say anything more. I¡¯ll just


    warn you that even if the sky falls, only the


    four of us will know this.


    No one else must know of this, be it your


    parents, friends, or even your confidantes. You should know the importance of this matter. Once it spreads, what will the consequences be?


    So no matter what, you can¡¯t reveal this. Do you understand?¡±


    After Roger¡¯s warning, the three of them


    looked at each other and nodded in unison.


    ¡°We know, Roger.


    We definitely won¡¯t tell a fifth person about


    this, so don¡¯t worry.¡±


    After getting the affirmation from Kasri and the other two, Roger continued,


    ¡°Since you now know my secret, then let¡¯s put


    this matter behind us. Let¡¯s make preparations and return to the capital.


    According to the introduction letter, we only have thirteen days at most.


    If more assassins have been sent our way, we¡¯ll


    be very lucky to reach the capital in thirteen


    days.¡±


    As soon as Roger finished speaking, the three


    of them looked embarrassed. Kasri then turned


    to Roger and said in a soft tone, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Roger.


    I¡¯ve given you much trouble during the


    journey. I¡¯ll definitely reward you handsomely when we return.¡±


    Faced with the apology from Kasri and the other two, Roger casually teased her,


    ¡°The three of you have already given yourselves to me to be my wives. What kind of


    generous reward are you going to give me to thank me?¡±


    As soon as Roger said this, the three of them


    blushed. They rolled their eyes at Roger and ran into the house. Roger¡¯s mood immediately brightened up as he looked at the three of them, who were blushing


    and didn¡¯t dare to remain in the same place after being teased by him. He sat on the stone chair with a smile on his face and waited for


    the three of them to pack up before setting off for the capital again.


    As Kasri and the other two did not have many


    items, they finished packing in about ten minutes.


    While looking at the valiant Kasri and the other


    two who were ready to set off, Roger casually


    dispersed the Dark Moon Magic Array that covered the courtyard.


    He would lead the three of them on a dangerous journey to the capital.


    The journey to the capital was indeed as Roger had expected. Young Master Long, Lan Tiantian, and Klino had all set up ambushes to


    kill Kasri¡¯s group of three on the only way to


    the imperial capital. However, these subordinates were nothing in front of Roger. Each time, Roger would discover their whereabouts in advance, and


    then he would activate all sorts of spells from a long distance to capture and kill them all in one go.


    As for Young Master Long¡¯s group, after ten instances of all their assassins being killed by an unknown force, they understood that the three of them had experts helping each other.


    Thus, they did not send any more people to kill the three of them.


    However, even though he did not send anyone


    to kill the three of them, he did send assassins


    to poison them.


    Fortunately, Roger¡¯s light magic wasn¡¯t to be


    trifled with. Every time, he would discover the poison in advance and purify it.


    Just like that, after a journey of killing and poisoning, Roger and the other three finally arrived at the capital the day before the Royal Academy¡¯s assessment.


    Due to the identity of Kasri and the other two, Roger separated from the three of them when he arrived at the gate of the imperial capital. He


    found an Inn to stay in and prepared to rest up for the entrance examination of the Royal


    Academy tomorrow.

 Chapter 37 - The Test Begins

    Chapter 37 The Test Begins


    In the square in front of the Royal Academy, thousands of top geniuses from all over the country had gathered in groups of twos and threes, waiting for the start of the assessment.


    Roger stood alone under the shade of a tree, constantly using the analysis spell, Eye of Insight, to observe the thousands of geniuses in the square.


    Roger used the Eye of Insight to survey all the geniuses and lost interest in them.


    These geniuses may be top geniuses in the eyes of the people of this world, but they were still far from being comparable to him.


    The strongest among them was only at the third-rank, which was nothing compared to him, who had the combat power of a forth-rank.


    As the sun rose, the geniuses who had been waiting for a while finally started the entrance examination.


    After the gates opened, thousands of people who took part in the assessment neatly lined up in a row and took out the letters of recommendation in their hands. After the examiner checked the authenticity, they were sent into the campus, waiting for the assessment to officially begin.


    The examiner checked the recommendation letter very rapidly. After a few minutes, it was Roger¡¯s turn.


    After Roger handed the letter of


    recommendation to the examiner, the


    originally lazy examiner suddenly became very energetic for some reason.


    He respectfully handed the letter of recommendation back to Roger and invited Roger into the assessment venue with a smile.


    After Roger left, the examiner instantly heaved a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart was slightly alleviated.


    The letter of recommendation that Roger had just taken out was of the highest grade, and it was a letter of recommendation for the top forces of the Empire.


    A small fry like him did not even dare to hold it in his hand. If he showed any disrespect to someone owning a recommendation letter of this level, and made them unhappy, no one would care even if he was killed in retaliation. Even the Royal Academy would not stand up for him.


    Roger followed the other candidates to the assessment venue. After arriving, he stood in the assessment venue and waited for everyone to arrive before starting the admission


    assessment.


    Ten minutes later, all the candidates with


    recommendation letters had been verified and


    arrived at the assessment venue.


    Just as all the candidates stood in their


    positions, a bald middle-aged man in a gray-black training suit appeared on the only three-meter high platform in the assessment


    venue.


    ¡°I¡¯m Bruce, the invigilator for today¡¯s entrance


    exam.


    Today is the annual Royal Academy entrance examination.


    We only recruit true geniuses, and you are the outstanding ones who have been recommended by the major families and towns.


    However, you may not be qualified to meet the requirements of our Academy, so we will be


    conducting an assessment for you.


    Only those who pass the assessment could enter the Royal Academy to study.


    This year, the Royal Academy will only accept


    100 students. In other words, only 10% of you


    will be able to stay. The rest will not be qualified and will have to return to your original places.¡±


    After Bruce finished speaking, the candidates


    below were in an uproar. They were very


    worried about the maximum quota of only 100


    people.


    They were the most talented youths recommended by their respective clans and


    towns. If they failed to pass the entrance examination of the Royal Academy, they would


    be sent back to where they came from, and


    their futures would be bleak.


    At the thought of this, the candidates in the assessment venue looked at each of the candidates in the venue. Their gazes changed, and they constantly swept their cold gazes across the candidates around them.


    When Bruce saw the gazes of the noisy participants in the assessment venue, he did not stop them. Instead, he looked at the people in the assessment venue with interest. After all, the Royal Academy was just like what


    he had said earlier. They only accepted true geniuses. Even if they became students of the Royal Academy, they would fall in line with the iron law that the strong were respected in order to survive in the Royal Academy.


    Only with such stimulation could the Royal Academy produce more powerhouses. Every time they produced a fresh batch of graduates, a few students would have reached the Ninth-rank, crushing all the other Academies in the Empire.


    Seeing that the atmosphere had reached its peak, Bruce announced to everyone, ¡°The entrance examination this time would be divided into two stages.


    The first test will be a test your strength, speed, and reaction.


    If one¡¯s strength reached the strength equivalent to three bulls, speed equivalent to three horses, and a reaction speed at A-rank, they would pass the first test.


    For the second round, they would fight in


    pairs. The top hundred will be the ones to pass this round.


    The top three of the second round would


    receive a mysterious grand prize sponsored by


    the principal.


    As for what the grand prize was, only those


    who passed the first round would be qualified


    to know.


    I hereby announce the start of the


    assessment!¡±


    Following Bruce¡¯s order, a dozen or so


    assistant officers walked out from the side and spread out to the three assessment venues. Then, thousands of candidates began the first round of assessment according to the order they entered the assessment venue earlier. As Roger¡¯s position was closer to the front, and


    the first round of the test was very simple. Each test didn¡¯t exceed a minute. Therefore, Roger could only wait. It was his


    turn to take the test in nearly an hour. After standing properly according to the assistant officer¡¯s instructions, they began the strength assessment.


    However, in order not to stand out, Roger only used his own body¡¯s basic strength. However, after dozens of baptisms by the Body-forging,


    his basic physical fitness was already half a step away from Third-rankj.


    After striking the machine with all his might,


    the strength displayed on the machine showed the strength of five bulls.


    It directly stunned the examiner. Although


    there were people who had reached the


    strength of five bulls in the past years, those who had reached the strength of five bulls in the past years had almost always done their


    best to achieve it.


    Roger obviously still had a lot of energy left, which surprised the examiner. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Roger was 18 years old, he would


    have thought that Roger was a senior student who was here to cause trouble. Roger looked at his examiner, who had a face


    full of surprise, and instantly knew that he had


    used too much force. He needed to restrain himself. ¡°Examiner, can we move on to the next segment?¡±


    Roger¡¯s question pulled the examiner back to


    reality. The examiner, who had returned to his senses,


    looked at Roger like a piece of jade. His tone and expression became extremely gentle. ¡°Of course you can, come with me.¡±


    Then, he led Roger to the place where the postgraduate entrance examination was held. Roger, who wanted to restrain himself, only used half of his strength after the examiner¡¯s order.


    After that, Roger even forced some sweat out of his head to make himself look a little tired. However, even if Roger only used half of his


    strength, his speed test still reached the level


    of four horses.


    After seeing the results, Roger started to doubt the standards of the geniuses in the Royal


    Academy.

 Chapter 38 - The Grand Prize Is Revealed

    Chapter 38 The Grand Prize Is Revealed


    When the examiner saw that Roger¡¯s speed had reached four horses, he became even more


    excited. He then brought Roger to the last reaction speed test.


    The reaction speed test was conducted by a machine that could shoot out harmless rays. As long as one was hit by the harmless rays shot by the machine five times, they would be eliminated.


    Roger, who understood the rules, immediately displayed his profound skill in producing mediocrity. After Roger¡¯s Oscar-level performance¡­


    In the end, after being hit by the laser four times, he reached a passing grade.


    After completing all three tests, Roger had nothing else to do before the second test began. He could move around freely in the vicinity of the test venue, but he couldn¡¯t leave the range of a thousand meters.


    However, after completing the three tests, Roger didn¡¯t walk around. Instead, he found a cool place beneath the shade of a tree and started to use the Galaxy Meditation Technique.


    Time flew by as Roger meditated, and it was soon two in the afternoon.


    The first round of the assessment had already been completed. However, the participants were all peak geniuses from various families and towns.


    Therefore, the first round of the assessment did not eliminate many people. A large number of people still turned up.


    As Bruce rang the assembly Bell beside him, all the candidates quickly gathered in the examination area and waited for the second round of the examination to begin.


    ¡°After the first round, more than eight


    hundred people remain. This number made me realize that you all are indeed worthy of being called geniuses.


    After all, to be able to reach Second-rank in the first year of cultivation is already the standard of a certified genius.


    However, our Royal Academy only wants true heaven-defying geniuses.


    So only those who pass the second round can truly become a student of our Royal Academy.


    The top three of the second round will receive a mystery prize from the Dean.


    The mystery prize offered by the Dean is to choose one of the top three breathing techniques on the continent.¡±


    Bruce¡¯s words immediately ignited the fire in everyone¡¯s heart. They looked at the people around them with extremely dangerous eyes.


    It must be known that in the entire Empire, there were only a dozen top-notch breathing techniques. Now, as long as one defeated everyone around them, one would be able to choose one of the top three breathing


    techniques.


    Such a grand prize was enough to make all the participants give up on their bottom lines. As long as they could defeat their opponents and


    reach the top three, they would have the heavenly ladder to the continent¡¯s strongest experts.


    With such a grand prize, even Roger was very


    tempted.


    He had originally planned to hide his strength and get an above-average grade so that he could qualify for the Royal Academy.


    After all, he was only here to study breathing


    techniques and not to study at the Royal Academy. It was useless for him to have such good grades.


    However, it was a different story concerning the reward of a top-grade breathing technique. If one entered the Royal Academy with an above-average score, the most they would be able to see was a high-grade breathing


    technique.


    Such techniques were among the top cultivation techniques on the continent. It wasn¡¯t something that one could come into contact with just because they wanted to.


    If he did not get first place, he would be letting down his identity as a mage and the good intentions of the Royal Academy¡¯s Dean. Bruce looked down at the people who were motivated by the reward and announced with


    his rough voice,


    ¡°The second round of the Royal Academy¡¯s entrance examination begins now!


    After Bruce announced the start of the


    assessment, the candidates in the assessment


    venue were led by the examiners to a place similar to the Roman Colosseum for the second


    assessment.


    After receiving their battle numbers, other than the top 20 participants, the rest of the participants walked up to the viewing platform and sat down in their respective seats, quietly waiting for their battle to begin.


    Roger was No. 126. According to the speed of ten groups at a time, he would be in the seventh wave of combatants.


    Since he had taken the first place in the second


    round, he could not afford to be careless. He did not want to underestimate his opponent and let the chance of obtaining a top-notch breathing technique slip by.


    Therefore, after Roger sat on the spectator


    stand, he kept his Eye of Insight open and observed the ten groups. Everyone had their fighting style and breathing techniques, so that he could learn more about his enemies and win every battle.


    Just as Roger was carefully observing the battles, a handsome young man with flame-like hair walked up to Roger and blocked


    his view.


    Roger, whose line of sight was blocked by the young man, immediately raised his head and looked at the young man who was blocking his


    line of sight. With a puzzled expression, he asked,


    ¡°Do you need something?¡±


    In response to Roger¡¯s question, the young


    man glared at Roger and said in an unfriendly


    tone, ¡°I¡¯ve seen your results for the first round. Although you¡¯re not bad, if you are only this strong, you do not deserve that rank.


    Unless you get first place in the second assessment, I will never agree to the relationship between you and my sister!¡± The young man¡¯s words made no sense, and Roger was really confused. He looked at the


    red-haired young man as if he was looking at a


    fool.


    However, the red-haired young man didn¡¯t


    notice Roger¡¯s confused look. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have left so easily.


    After the red-haired young man left, Roger turned his head and threw his words to the


    back of his mind. He continued to observe the various breathing techniques on the ring with the Eye of Insight.


    Ten minutes past three, Roger, who had been watching the rookies pecking at each other for an hour, was about to vomit.


    Just as Roger was about to fall asleep, it was finally Roger¡¯s turn to fight.


    Roger¡¯s opponent was a water attribute breathing technique cultivator. As soon as he stepped onto the ring, he revealed a victorious


    grin.


    Such a confident opponent was either really powerful, or a weakling who grew up in a sugar


    jar and had never experienced the brutality of the outside world.


    After seeing that the other party was using water attribute power, Roger took out a long sword and attached a layer of flame to it, ready to fight with his fire attribute. When the opponent saw Roger use his fire attribute power, he immediately laughed. ¡°You fool, you already know that I use the


    water attribute, but you still want to use the fire attribute to fight me. Don¡¯t you know that the water attribute is the bane of the fire attribute?


    I¡¯ll give you a chance to surrender now. As long


    as you kneel and kowtow, I¡¯ll allow you to walk off the arena unscathed.


    Otherwise, I¡¯ll let you have a taste of what it


    feels like to have all your bones and bones broken.¡±


    After the opponent said this, Roger quickly understood that the person in front of him was a fool who had never experienced the wind and


    rain. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have said that water was the bane fire. Roger no longer wanted to pay this idiot any


    more attention. He directly brandished his sword of flames and attacked his opponent, wanting to end this farce quickly.

 Chapter 39 - Entering The Top Three

    Chapter 39 Entering The Top Three


    The truth was just as Roger had thought. His opponent was a fool who only had looks. He was like a baby holding a submachine gun on the street. He looked powerful, but he was actually useless.


    In the face of Roger¡¯s fierce attack, the opponent still seemed to resist in the beginning beneath Roger¡¯s light attacks.


    However, after Roger had thoroughly observed his opponent¡¯s water-elemental breathing technique, he directly used a Flame Slash to put his opponent on the ground, winning this joke of a battle.


    After Roger defeated his opponent, he slowly walked to his opponent¡¯s side and said,


    ¡°When fire is raging, water can¡¯t cover it and extinguish it. When the water floods a mountain, fire can¡¯t evaporate it nor


    extinguish it.


    That¡¯s why there¡¯s no absolute counter


    between water and fire. The weaker will be the


    one being countered.¡±


    After saying that, Roger walked down the ring and returned to the stands to wait for the next battle.


    On the arena, the opponent who was already injured by Roger thought that Roger was humiliating him after hearing Roger¡¯s words. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted in the arena.


    After this joke-like battle, Roger continued to fight a few more battles. Although some of his opponents were strong and some were weak, they were all the same in Roger¡¯s eyes.


    Apart from their unique breathing techniques, their strength was nothing in Roger¡¯s eyes. After thoroughly analyzing their opponent¡¯s breathing techniques, he immediately killed them and threw them out of the ring.


    As the number of people fighting reached eight-hundred, even if they fought non-stop until seven in the evening, only the top ten people, including Roger, could be separated.


    As the sky was getting dark and the top ten had already gone through six hours of battle, watching the battle, everyone was starting to get sluggish.


    Hence, after Bruce announced the top ten, the battles were stopped and all the participants were dismissed. The final winner would be decided the next day.


    After Bruce gave his order, Roger took the queue number for tomorrow¡¯s match and left the Royal Academy. After returning to the inn and having a good meal, he went back to his room and fell asleep.


    The bright moon went into seclusion, and the scorching sun rose from the east.


    The morning peak¡¯s sunlight shone through the window, waking up Roger from his deep sleep.


    After waking up, Roger washed his face with ice water and wolfed down some food before heading straight to the assessment location.


    As today was only the day of the top ten¡¯s battle, there were only the ten of them, Bruce, and two assessment auxiliary officers in the entire assessment venue.


    Bruce stood on the high platform, and after sweeping his gaze across the ten people in the arena, he said with a smile,


    ¡°It seems that you all had a good rest yesterday


    and are in good spirits today.


    I¡¯m not a long-winded person, so I¡¯ll get


    straight to the point.


    Today¡¯s battle of the top ten would still be


    conducted in pairs. The remaining five would


    draw lots to decide who to fight.


    The final battle would be a three-way free-for-all, and whoever stood on the arena at


    the end would be the final winner.


    Now that I¡¯ve finished explaining the rules, I hereby announce that the second round of the assessment, the battle of the top ten, will now


    begin!¡±


    After Bruce finished speaking, the ten people in the arena, each went up to their respective rings and began the battle for the top five.


    Roger¡¯s opponent this time was a cultivator of a fire-based breathing technique, a variant of the Lava Breathing Technique.


    Moreover, the opponent this time was similar to Red Hound, one of the three great generals


    of the navy, in terms of combat style and


    personality.


    Faced with such an opponent, Roger was instantly interested.


    ¡°I¡¯m Moroge. I¡¯ve seen your battles. Your fire


    attacks are very powerful, but my lava isn¡¯t that easy to deal with either.


    Therefore, if you want to use the strength that


    you used to deal with those idiots against me, you might end up in a bad spot.


    Bring out your full strength and let us have good fight.¡±


    Roger had always been someone who reciprocated how he was treated. Toward polite opponents, Roger was still very gentle.


    ¡°No problem. I¡¯m just afraid you won¡¯t be able


    to handle it.¡±


    Moroge was not offended by Roger¡¯s response. Instead, after laughing, he said to Roger, ¡°Come at me, I¡¯ll take all of it. If I can¡¯t take it


    and die, I deserve it.¡±


    Upon hearing Moroge¡¯s answer, Roger


    suddenly found the other party was very interesting. He decided not to restrain himself too much, just as Moroge wanted. After the two of them were ready, Moroge


    couldn¡¯t hold back his desire to fight and attacked Roger first.


    Moroge¡¯s attack method was the same as


    Moroge¡¯s. They both used close-range combat techniques to fight.


    With hot, viscous lava attached to his fists and


    feet, he launched a close-range battle against Roger.


    Roger also chose to use the same method to respond to Moroge¡¯s close-range attack. After using the fire spell, Armor of Flames, to


    protect his body, he met Moroge¡¯s fist with his


    own.


    Looking at Roger, who dared to fight him head-on, Moroge was very excited.


    Ever since he had cultivated the Magma Breathing Technique, all his attacks would be imbued with magma. Although his attacks were


    much more powerful, only his father dared to engage in close combat with him, other than the savage beasts.


    Now, Roger could do it too, and he was not


    even a relative of his family, which made Moroge very surprised.


    Then, Moroge exerted 30% more strength than before. He wanted to enjoy this battle.


    However, as the battle went on, Moroge became more and more frightened. No matter how he attacked, Roger had a way to counterattack.


    Moreover, in the face of his attacks, Roger


    seemed to be able to block them with ease every time, as if it was effortless. This made Moroge feel even more humiliated.


    He felt that Roger was just playing with him and had not used his full strength.


    Half an hour after the battle started, Moroge couldn¡¯t stand Roger¡¯s perfunctory attitude anymore. His eyes were red as he roared at


    Roger, ¡°Roger, do you look down on me that much? Attack with all your might, you bastard! Even if I¡¯m defeated, I want to be defeated by you fair and square!¡±


    Roger didn¡¯t continue to suppress his power in


    response to Moroge¡¯s angry roar. Instead, he


    prepared to attack with all his might and kill Moroge in one blow.


    Now


    After all, he was only collecting information on the Magma Breathing Technique earlier. that he had finished collecting all the information, and Moroge had asked him to attack with all his might, he would just do as


    he wished.


    After Roger released his suppressing power, he punched Moroge a hundred times with all his


    might, causing Moroge to fall to the ground. Moroge couldn¡¯t get up anymore, and he stopped attacking.


    Moroge, who was lying on the stage, didn¡¯t feel any resentment toward Roger. Instead, he


    accepted his defeat.


    He endured the pain and said to Roger,


    ¡°Roger, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so strong. Indeed, there¡¯s always someone better. This time, I was not strong enough. Next time, I¡¯ll


    definitely claim revenge.¡± Roger wasn¡¯t surprised by Moroge¡¯s words. He


    said to Moroge,


    ¡°Come on then, work hard. I¡¯ll wait for you to


    defeat me next time.¡± After receiving Roger¡¯s reply, Moroge could no his injured body and fainted on


    longer support


    the ring.


    Roger was fond of such an opponent. Although


    Moroge¡¯s strength was not as good as his, her personality of admitting defeat and not saying


    a word was well-received by Roger. If Moroge continued to act like this and continually improved himself, it was not


    impossible to take him in.

 Chapter 40 - Top-tier Breathing Technique

    Chapter 40 Top-tier Breathing Technique


    After winning the battle with Moroge, Roger jumped down from the ring and went to the examiner to draw the number for the next battle.


    However, what surprised Roger was that he actually drew a special number that advanced him to the finals.


    Roger was merely surprised and didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. After all, he had already seen the people in the other rings, and they weren¡¯t as strong as him.


    Therefore, it didn¡¯t matter if he got a free pass, as the final winner would be him.


    Roger then returned to the stands with the number plate and sat down to watch the other undefeatable rings.


    The midday sun shone on the stage, and the scorching sun seemed to set the air on fire.


    At that moment, the competition for the top three in the two groups had come to an end.


    The two teams were like sand versus ice, and thunder versus earth.


    According to Roger¡¯s observation, if nothing unexpected happened, the thunder and sand cultivators would be the final victors.


    Ten minutes later, just as Roger had expected, the sand and thunder breathing technique cultivators finally defeated the ice and earth breathing techniques cultivators and entered the top three.


    As the cultivators of sand and thunder only won after an intense battle, Bruce had given the two of them an hour to rest for the sake of fairness.


    An hour later, regardless of whether the two of them had recovered or not, they would begin the final battle with Roger.


    As the two of them raced against time to recover, an hour passed by quickly.


    An hour later, Roger, Sand and Thunder stood in a large arena.


    As his opponent glared at him, Roger had no idea how he had provoked the other party to make him hate him so much.


    Thunder was the red-haired young man who had spoken to Roger for a while before leaving.


    After the red-haired young man glared at Roger, he turned to Sand and said,


    ¡°Shakos, the two of us just went through an intense battle. We haven¡¯t recovered even after


    an hour.


    As for the kid opposite us, he has been


    watching leisurely for a long time. His strength had long recovered to its peak.


    So I suggest that we join forces to eliminate him, and then we fight for the final position. What do you think?¡±


    After Shakos heard the red-haired youth¡¯s question, he thought for a moment and agreed to the red-haired youth¡¯s suggestion.


    After all, neither he nor the red-haired young man had recovered to their peak. They didn¡¯t have much chance of winning against Roger when he was in his Prime.


    ¡°Huo Liming, I agree with your suggestion.


    We don¡¯t know how strong Roger is, but we both know how strong Moroge is.


    Roger easily suppressed Moroge and defeated him without suffering any damage. The two of us are half-disabled, and we can¡¯t beat Roger in a one-on-one fight.¡±


    Roger looked at the two people who didn¡¯t care about his feelings at all and talked about the alliance loudly. This really made Roger furious.


    When he heard Shakos call out to the


    red-haired young man, Huo Liming, he


    understood what was going on.


    Looking at Huo Liming, who looked similar to


    Huo Li ¡®er and had the same surname, he must


    be Huo Li¡¯ er¡¯s younger brother.


    However, even if Huo Liming was his brother-in-law, he still wanted to teach him a


    lesson.


    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m still standing here!


    Aren¡¯t you a little too arrogant to talk about an


    alliance in front of me?¡±


    Shakos and Huo Liming looked at each other


    after hearing Rogge¡¯s words. Without any warning, they unleashed their full power and attacked Rogge.


    Looking at the two people who ignored him and directly attacked him, Rogge¡¯s nerves started to tremble. He immediately decided to give them a lesson that he would never forget


    in his life.


    After covering his body with all the enhancement spells, he grabbed the fists and feet of the two men, ready to throw them about


    like how Hulk beat Loki.


    Shakos and Huo Liming felt a sense of foreboding when they saw Roger¡¯s sneer after


    Roger grabbed their ankles and wrists.


    They immediately prepared to use a diversionary tactic to interfere with Roger and


    make him release them.


    However, Roger wouldn¡¯t let them do as they


    wished.


    Roger began to play tragic music. He beat Huo


    Liming and Shakos to the rhythm of a drum, with the two bodies as the drumstick and the


    ring as the drum.


    While standing on the high platform, Bruce had originally thought that the battle for the final victor would be more exciting than the


    previous battles.


    However, he had never expected Roger to have


    such insane strength. Huo Liming and Shakos were completely helpless against him.


    Before the battle even started, they were


    already being tossed around like noodles.


    Bruce had never seen something like this during his decades as an examiner.


    By the time Bruce recovered from his shock,


    Huo Liming and his partner had already been beaten up like drumsticks by Roger for seven to eight minutes.


    He was afraid that Huo Liming and the other


    man would be killed by Roger¡¯s brute force, so he quickly shouted to Roger,


    ¡°Roger, that¡¯s enough. You¡¯re the final winner


    of the second test.¡±


    When he heard Bruce¡¯s shout, Roger threw Huo Liming and the other man into the ring.


    He had a sense of propriety and controlled his strength very carefully. Although it looked like he had smashed Huo Liming and the other man into the arena, he was not afraid of killing them.


    However, fire liming and the other man did not


    touch the ground at all. The cracks on the stage were only caused by the wind pressure from


    the two men who were thrown down at high speed.


    After seeing Roger stop, Bruce jumped down


    from the high platform and checked the physical conditions of the two players. However, after a round of inspection, Bruce


    was surprised by Roger¡¯s control over his


    power. There were no injuries on Huo Liming¡¯s body. The two of them were unconscious because they were not used to the high G-forces.


    After seeing that Hou Liming and his partner were fine, Bruce immediately asked his men to send them to the resting room. He then walked


    towards Roger with joy. ¡°Congratulations, Roger. You¡¯ve become the


    final winner of the second round. You can choose one of the three top breathing techniques in the Royal Academy to cultivate.


    ¡°If you do not with to have them, you can request other resources of equivalent value from the Royal Academy.¡±
