Younger Brother Linley

Early that morning at Ernst Institute, as the first class of the day began, all the students and instructors busied themselves preparing for their lessons.

As the sun continued to rise, a clear dragon roar suddenly came from afar. As the roar drew nearer and nearer, a black speck in the distance steadily grew larger in the eyes of the students and teachers. As time passed, everyone saw an incomparably magnificent silver-white dragon, its body winding for over a hundred meters.

It flew toward the back mountain. Since many students cultivated magic and refined their magical power there every day, this matter drew the attention of the institute's higher-ups.

The silver dragon landed directly on the back mountain without making much of a commotion. The institute's principal and two vice principals exchanged looks, then could only go together to investigate.

After the flamboyant silver dragon Lisa let out her dragon roar, Bolan knew things had gone wrong. He had only come to visit Linley to help awaken his bloodline and give him some motivation. He had not wanted to make such a huge fuss, yet this still happened.

Seeing such an enormous silver dragon land nearby, all the students on the back mountain could not resist their curiosity and went over to take a look.

They saw a young man in white robes leap straight down from the silver dragon's head and land before the students. Smiling at the students who had gathered to watch, the youth asked, "Do you know whether Linley Baruch is here? I'm his elder brother, Bolan Baruch." The students erupted into an uproar, then began chattering all at once.

"Who's Linley?" someone asked.

"I think he's in our class. He's usually pretty quiet and only shows up for lessons. Most of the time, he cultivates by himself on the back mountain," said another blond youth.

"This student's elder brother looks so strong. He actually tamed two Level 9 magical beasts!" a short-haired girl beside him exclaimed.

As time passed and Linley still had not appeared, Bolan knew that Linley probably was not cultivating on the back mountain that day.

Just as Bolan was somewhat disappointed and preparing to leave, the institute's principal finally arrived with the two vice principals.

"I am Siporui, principal of Ernst Institute. These two beside me are the vice principals. May I ask why you have come to our institute?"

The strong had privileges no matter where they were.

Bolan now deeply understood the meaning of those words.

Although the three principals were all Level 9 Arch Magi, when they saw the two Level 9 giant dragons beside Bolan and Bolan himself, who had tamed Level 9 giant dragons, they forcefully suppressed their original intention of questioning him. Their tone was still not particularly friendly, but at the very least, Bolan could feel their goodwill.

"I am Bolan Baruch. My younger brother, Linley Baruch, is a student at your institute. I came this time simply to see my brother. These two giant dragons are my magical pets. If they have caused any offense, please be forgiving."

Seeing Bolan's sincere expression and hearing his sincere tone, the three principals nodded in understanding. They then invited Bolan to the principal's office for a chat. After all, the strong did not shut themselves away to build a cart in isolation. Only through discussing, learning, and integrating different forms of knowledge could one improve.

But at that moment, Bolan spotted Linley in the crowd. He immediately declined the three principals' kind offer and walked toward Linley.

"Second Brother!" Bolan gave Linley a huge bear hug. Seeing that the two brothers had private matters to discuss, the three principals directly sent the nearby students and instructors back to the institute. The three then took their leave as well.

Half a day later, the hundred-meter giant dragon flew away. Linley made the same choice as in the original story. When Bolan asked which dragon's blood he wanted to use to awaken his bloodline, Linley chose the Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragon without hesitation. After transforming, Linley fully demonstrated what a close-combat mage was...

After awakening Linley's bloodline, Bolan told him that he had to go to the O'Brien Empire before Yulan Year 1 so that the whole family could reunite. It was actually to help Linley avoid this coming calamity of death. The threat came from the God-level magical beast, Dilin. Although Bolan did not know whether Linley would still go to the Misty Gorge, pull out the divine sword Purple Blood again, and destroy the magic array, he still understood the importance of taking precautions.

Bolan's arrival did not disrupt Linley's study plans. It only made Linley cultivate even harder. After all, his elder brother was already a true Level 7 warrior, while he himself was only a Level 5 magus. Although he had just awakened the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, it had only raised his warrior level to Level 5, putting it on par with his magic.
