"Xiao Bai, breakfast!"
Bai Ge got up and served Malena a bowl of rice, then served himself another bowl.
But after leaving the kitchen, Bai Ge did not immediately enter the living room. Instead, he called out to a large tree in the courtyard from the hallway.
At Bai Ge's call, a fist-sized little bird with light-blue feathers and fluffy white wings like cotton immediately flew down from the tree. Fluttering its wings, it quickly landed on Bai Ge's shoulder.
This little bird was none other than the pet Swablu Bai Ge had drawn six years ago.
Of course, after six years, Swablu had long since evolved into Altaria. Like Bai Ge, it was level 35. This was the Pokémon World's level system, equivalent to a Spirit Beast with several thousand years of cultivation. It could also be considered a Soul Master level, and its strength was quite formidable.
But aside from Bai Ge, few people knew that this Cute Thing on his shoulder was actually a Spirit Beast whose strength did not pale in comparison to a Soul Elder.
Perhaps because it had been converted into a Spirit Beast, although the number of Pokémon Skills Altaria could learn had greatly decreased, and it could only learn one Pokémon Skill every ten levels, it had gained the special ability to remain in its original Swablu form at any time.
"Here, Xiao Bai. This is your breakfast."
Looking at the Cute Thing perched on his shoulder like a ball of cotton, Bai Ge smiled and took out a Hundred Herbs Pill to feed Altaria.
"Goo goo."
Accepting its master's food, Altaria naturally opened its beak and swallowed the Hundred Herbs Pill. Feeling the Wood Essence spread through and nourish its body, Altaria could not help revealing an expression of enjoyment.
"Goo goo goo..."
"Don't rub against my face. It's so ticklish!"
Although Bai Ge had made a great deal of food, with quite a few dishes that were mainly meat, he cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and possessed an astonishing appetite. Before long, he had wiped out all the food and rice on the table.
Malena had eaten some as well, but compared to Bai Ge, it was truly insignificant.
"Little Bai Ge, you should be graduating soon too, right?"
After eating, Malena set down her chopsticks and looked at Bai Ge with some emotion.
"Mm, there's only one month left until graduation."
Bai Ge paused while clearing the table, then nodded somewhat silently.
"Ah, do you still remember when we first met six years ago? You were only as tall as my waist back then, yet you acted like such a little grown-up. You even wanted to do business with me. Luckily, your elder sister here was smart enough not to miss out on you, or I might have regretted it for the rest of my life."
Malena revealed a gentle smile as she looked at Bai Ge.
Though they had been strangers at first, both had deliberately wanted to befriend the other. After six years together, their relationship was not that of true siblings, but it had already surpassed that of true siblings.
If they had not been so close, Madam Malena, who appeared dignified and steady before others, would not have been so relaxed around Bai Ge.
Moreover, Bai Ge's third Spirit Ring had been hunted for him by the Soul Hunting Group behind Malena. Of course, the Spirit Ring Skill Bai Ge gained had been the system reward Giga Drain. However, rewards drawn from the system required a Spirit Ring to be used. Without a Spirit Ring, even if Bai Ge had Giga Drain, he would have had no way to turn it into his own Spirit Skill.
"Little Bai Ge, have you decided where you'll go after graduation? Will you continue on to an Advanced Soul Master Academy, or travel the continent?"
Malena asked with concern.
"Following my teacher's advice, I'll probably go to Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom and enroll in a Soul Master Academy called Shrek Academy. The All-Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament will be held next year, and I really want to take part. But before that, I need a strong team."
After a moment of silence, Bai Ge answered.
"The All-Continent Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament? Then your elder sister wishes you a championship in advance. As for Grandmaster's arrangements, I trust them very much."
After hearing Bai Ge's words and learning that it was Grandmaster's arrangement, Malena, who had already witnessed Grandmaster's abilities, nodded in strong agreement.
"By the way, why haven't you been visiting your teacher lately?"
As though she had remembered something, Malena could not help asking.
"Tang San advanced to level thirty. My teacher went to find a friend to help him hunt a Spirit Ring."
Bai Ge said.
"I truly admire Grandmaster. His eye for talent is simply incredible. He found two geniuses right away. Although Tang San's talent isn't as good as yours, reaching level thirty at twelve years old still makes him one of the continent's greatest geniuses."
Malena said with feeling.
"Sister Malena, don't underestimate Tang San. Though Tang San isn't my match in a spar, if it were a fight to the death, I might not necessarily be able to defeat him. Tang San hides himself very deeply."
Bai Ge narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"All right, enough talking. Your elder sister needs to leave. Noble Hall recently opened a branch restaurant in Sulan City, and there are many matters that need my attention. I'll be going now. Little Bai Ge, remember to cultivate diligently."
Affectionately rubbing Bai Ge's head, Malena rose and departed gracefully.
Bai Ge watched Malena until she reached the courtyard, then passed through a small gate there into the adjacent courtyard, where Malena lived.
After clearing the table and washing all the dishes, Bai Ge washed his hands and finally entered his room.
"Has it already been six years?"
Looking at the bright mirror before him, Bai Ge murmured to himself.
The mirror reflected a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, sharp brows and bright eyes. His shoulder-length silver hair and violet eyes added even more charm to his appearance.
Though his face still carried a trace of youthful immaturity, his physique was exceptionally tall and sturdy. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, making it impossible to tell that he was only twelve years old.
It was another day, just like always.
After breakfast and tidying up the house, Bai Ge took the Gravity Chamber from his system storage. After adjusting the gravity multiplier, he entered the Gravity Chamber and began his day of cultivation.
At some point, Bai Ge had grown fond of cultivating the Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill in the Gravity Chamber. With gravity's assistance, he could cultivate the Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill more perfectly within it. It not only trained his flesh and blood, but also penetrated deep into his internal organs. It could also accelerate the cultivation of the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield.
The Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield differed from the Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill. The Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill mainly enhanced Qi and Blood and strengthened one's physique, primarily increasing strength and physical attributes. It focused inwardly. The Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield, on the other hand, mainly strengthened the skin, bones, and flesh, primarily increasing defensive power. It focused outwardly.
When Bai Ge's Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill had reached the Third Floor, his Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield had not fallen behind either. Although the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield could not cheat through the Jade Brightness Skill like the Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill, it could increase its cultivation speed through special medicinal paste.
Thus, Bai Ge's Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Golden Bell Shield was progressing no slower than the Ten Dragon Ten Elephant Prajna Skill. It had likewise reached the Third Floor and was only one step away from the fourth floor.
