This Child Is a Genius

A giant-sized Makarov was pinning the Nether Demonic Tiger to the ground, rubbing its face into the dirt mercilessly.

"Guild Master is mighty! Guild Master is domineering!"

Standing to the side, Yun Feiyang transformed into a cheerleader, giving Makarov a massive ego boost, which only made him pummel the beast even harder!

Impressive. He is truly worthy of being called one of the Ten Wizard Saints!

The Ten Wizard Saints are the ten most outstanding mages on the continent, bestowed with the title by the Magic Council. Their strength far exceeds that of an S-Class Mage from an ordinary guild.

There is no specific ranking for the Ten Wizard Saints at the moment, and there even seem to be vacancies. Since Makarov managed to rank among them, his strength is naturally beyond doubt.

He specializes in two types of magic: the Gigantification magic he is currently displaying, and Light Magic.

Of course, as a highly respected veteran mage, these two are merely his primary combat magics; he is also proficient in various common spells, Magic Arrays, and more.

The Nether Demonic Tiger is a rare and powerful magical beast, but in front of Makarov, it really didn't stand a chance. It was caught in a flurry of crazy attacks, completely unable to fight back.

The inhumane act of violence continued for quite a while before it finally subsided!

Makarov floated out of the deep crater and transformed back into his small, elderly self.

Yun Feiyang ran over. "Is it taken care of?"

"Need you ask? It was just a little kitten; it was a piece of cake for me!"

"Amazing, amazing! Guild Master, you really are my idol!"

While paying lip service, Yun Feiyang craned his neck to peer into the pit.

Good grief, it's pitch black down there. Did you beat the Nether Demonic Tiger all the way back to hell?

Suddenly, a black light flashed. The battered and scarred Nether Demonic Tiger leaped up, baring its fangs as it lunged at Makarov!

"Guild Master!"

Yun Feiyang drew his blade in a flash!

"Black Tortoise!"

The wind rose. The Mystic Tortoise shielded the two of them, while the Mystic Snake bound the Nether Demonic Tiger.

Although the beast broke free in a split second, it was enough time for Makarov to react!

"You beast, you're asking for death!"

Makarov raised his palm, and a dazzling pillar of light erupted, engulfing the Nether Demonic Tiger completely.

The beam of light slammed into a distant mountaintop. With a thunderous roar, the entire mountain collapsed!

"Good grief, what immense power!"

"You weren't bad yourself; your reaction was timely!"

Yun Feiyang hoisted his katana onto his shoulder and said smugly, "Obviously!"

"Wait, no!"

Yun Feiyang's expression shifted in an instant. He roared, "Didn't I tell you to keep its hide intact? It's definitely charred now!"

Even the ground had been scorched into a blackened trench, so one could only imagine the state of the Nether Demonic Tiger.

"Ahem... I forgot. I'll definitely be careful next time!"

"Alright, wait for me a moment."

Makarov approached the statue. A layer of seals emerged, and a Magic Array appeared. He began channeling his magic power into the array, converting it into sealing energy to reinforce the barrier.

As the magic power flowed in, the color of the seal grew deeper until it reached saturation. Only then did Makarov stop!

"Done!"

Even with his vast magic power as one of the Ten Wizard Saints, he appeared slightly breathless.

Turning his head, he saw that Yun Feiyang was no longer by his side, but was instead dragging the corpse of the Nether Demonic Tiger toward him.

"Why did you dig that thing up? The fur is ruined; it can't be repaired!"

It was true; the Nether Demonic Tiger was pitch black all over, with a massive hole in its abdomen. Its entire body had been hollowed out.

"I'm hungry. Can't I roast some meat to eat?"

"That works too. I've expended quite a bit of energy myself, so replenishing it is a good idea. Monster meat is highly nutritious, and I've never tasted Nether Demonic Tiger meat before. Trying it out doesn't sound bad!"

"Then give me a hand!"

The valley had trees and a water source. After cleaning the meat they had carved off, the two set it over a campfire.

The aroma of the meat soon drifted through the air. With limited seasonings, the two made do with what they had.

Little White, on the other hand, was gnawing away happily, eating with great relish!

"Come to think of it, I'm curious. I've only ever seen you use that special Sword Skill. Do you not use magic?"

Yun Feiyang shook his head. After swallowing a piece of meat, he said, "In my country, the power of magic is nothing but a legend. I've never seen it before!"

"No way? Your country is that backward?"

Yun Feiyang rolled his eyes. "In a world as archaic as yours, how dare you call the modern technological world backward?"

"By the way, is magic hard to learn? Can you teach me?"

"Oh? You're interested?"

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Besides, more skills never hurt; the more tricks I have up my sleeve, the more confident I'll be!"

"Well said! Fine, I'll teach you once we're done eating!"

Yun Feiyang grew excited and began to wolf down his food. Half of an entire Nether Demonic Tiger ended up in his stomach, leaving Makarov breaking out in a cold sweat just watching him.

This wasn't finding a treasure; it was bringing home a bottomless pit!

"It seems your body is very robust; otherwise, you wouldn't be able to digest food so quickly."

With few exceptions, the physique of a Mage tended to be on the frail side.

"Yeah, I've been training desperately for the past three years, and my appetite has been gradually increasing."

No, no, no. This wasn't a matter of what training could achieve.

It was strange, too. Ever since he had transmigrated here, Yun Feiyang had discovered that his physical fitness had strengthened significantly. In particular, as his strength grew, this improvement accelerated as well.

"Alright, let me first explain the principles of magic to you."

Yun Feiyang quickly sat up straight, looking like a model student.

"There is a type of tiny substance floating in the air called Magic Microparticles. Mages absorb these Magic Microparticles through meditation, storing them within their bodies to form Magic Power."

"Then, by utilizing a firm conviction, they manifest it. That is the essence of magic."

"So, the first step to becoming a Mage is meditation: absorbing Magic Microparticles and storing Magic Power."

Yun Feiyang asked in surprise, "It's that simple?"

"Simple? It can be simple, but it can also be difficult. This first step stumps the majority of people. Not everyone possesses magical talent."

Makarov said, "You can try meditating now. Just empty your mind and strive to sense the Magic Microparticles."

"Oh!"

Yun Feiyang sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

"Take it slow, there's no need to rush. Rushing is useless; this first step isn't that fast. If you can sense the existence of the microparticles, it proves you have magical talent. As for absorbing them, you can take your time. It's like coaxing a child; let them be attracted to you so they will voluntarily enter your body."

"Let me tell you, it took me three... how is that possible!"

Makarov couldn't finish his sentence. He stared at Yun Feiyang in shock, because at this very moment, his body was glowing, proving that he had succeeded!

Not only did he sense the Magic Microparticles, but he had successfully absorbed them!

That was exactly what shocked him; this was absolutely the fastest speed he had ever witnessed!

He remembered that since the founding of Fairy Tail, the person who completed this step the fastest was the Second Guild Master, who was also one of the guild's founders, Precht Gaebolg.

But even he had required several hours, and even then, he was hailed as a genius among geniuses.

Now look at this kid—it took him only the time it takes to say a few sentences?

What incredible natural talent!!

At this moment, Makarov looked at Yun Feiyang as if he were gazing upon a peerless treasure!

I have a premonition, he thought, this child's talent is unprecedented and will shake the ages; his future achievements will surely shock the entire Magic Continent!
