130 Million Green Energy Points (Seeking Follows)

Doehring wanted some peace and quiet.

A single person, in the span of a few breaths, leaping from a second-rank magus to a fourth-rank magus.

Is this really something that can happen?

If this is truly possible, then what were all those years of diligent cultivation he had gone through worth?

He had once thought that he could be the guide on Linley's path of cultivation, that he could nurture Linley to become strong.

But in reality?

Aside from giving Linley an introduction to the nature of magic, what else had he actually done?

Nothing at all.

Linley only needed to have him as an elder, and that was enough.

He was nothing more than a broken soul relying on the Coiling Dragon Ring to survive.

"Grandpa Doehring." Linley looked at Doehring excitedly, "Look, I have already learned all the first-rank Earth Element spells."

As Linley spoke, he pointed a hand forward, and the ground in front of him trembled violently.

Immediately, seven or eight earth spikes, each over a meter long, erupted from the ground.

Following that, more than a dozen head-sized stones coalesced and flew forward.

Earth-Shaking Technique, Earth Spike, Shattering Stone.

First-rank Earth Element spells.

Linley had now mastered them all.

However, for a fourth-rank magus, this did not seem like something worth bragging about.

"Not bad." Doehring had already cast aside the disappointment in his heart; after all, didn't Linley still call him Grandpa Doehring?

"But it is not enough." The smile on Doehring's face faded, "Your spiritual energy has already reached that of a fifth-rank magus. Next, I will teach you second-rank to fourth-rank Earth Element spells."

"That's great, Grandpa Doehring." Far from resisting, Linley was exceptionally excited, "Then let's start right now!"

Linley's joyful appearance couldn't help but bring a smile to Doehring's face.

When it came down to it, Linley was still just an eight-year-old child.

"Beibei, stop them."

After undergoing Dragon Transformation, Linley held the Black Iron Heavy Sword and flew through the air.

Ahead, a group of Lion-Tiger Beasts was fleeing frantically.

Leading them were two eighth-rank Lion-Tiger Beasts, and the rest consisted of six seventh-rank beasts and three fifth-rank cubs.

And right in the path where the Lion-Tiger Beasts were fleeing, a black shadow flickered.

"Swish~"

Blood splattered as the black shadow landed on the head of the leading eighth-rank Lion-Tiger Beast, its two small claws piercing into the beast's neck.

It was the God-Eater Rat, Beibei.

At this moment, Beibei's speed far exceeded that of a seventh-rank magical beast and was basically on par with an eighth-rank magical beast.

It was just that both its attack and defense were still lacking.

Therefore, although blood was splattering everywhere, the Lion-Tiger Beast leader had not actually sustained any serious injuries.

However, this was already enough.

"Die!"

Linley held the Black Iron Heavy Sword and descended from the sky.

"Swish~"

The Black Iron Heavy Sword split the Lion-Tiger Beast in two.

Congratulations on killing an eighth-rank magical beast, Green Energy Point +10,000

"Roar~"

Seeing their leader dead, the remaining Lion-Tiger Beasts no longer fled, but instead surrounded Linley.

However.

Facing Linley, who had undergone Dragon Transformation and gained a sliver of insight into the Laws of the Wind Element, it was merely a matter of expending a little effort.

Not to mention, he still had Beibei providing support from the side.

In just a short moment, this group of Lion-Tiger Beasts had become souls under Linley's sword, contributing quite a few energy points to him.

"Linley." After the battle ended, Doehring appeared from the Coiling Dragon Ring, "In nearly five months, you have killed over ten thousand eighth-rank magical beasts. I fear the interior of the Magical Beast Mountain Range is no longer safe."

Doehring's expression appeared somewhat worried.

"It's alright, Grandpa Doehring." Linley crouched down and took out the Magic Cores one by one. "The Magic Test is in two days, so I should head back."

As he spoke, Linley finished collecting the cores and deactivated his Dragon Transformation.

Without any clothes on, Linley stood there completely naked.

In truth, at the very beginning, Linley would exchange for a new set of clothes every time he finished a Dragon Transformation.

However, as time went on, Linley simply gave up on that.

After all, inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he had to fight from time to time.

Although a set of clothes only cost one White Energy Point.

Linley had grown accustomed to being frugal, and since no one was watching anyway, he decided not to wear any.

However, after deactivating his Dragon Transformation, a scar on Linley's abdomen looked rather ghastly.

Even without his Dragon Transformation, Linley was already over 1.7 meters tall, but his face still looked far too youthful.

After all, Linley was only an eight-year-old child.

Because of this, less than a month after entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Linley paid the price for his own kindness.

It was a father and son, who were also adventurers.

The father had been injured by a magical beast, and Linley had kindly saved them both.

Yet, he hadn't expected that the father and son would launch a sneak attack on him that night.

However, unlike in the original story, Beibei's current overall strength was only that of a Rank 7 magical beast, and he was still young, so he hadn't reacted in time at all.

But, Doehring had reacted.

Or rather, Doehring had been keeping an eye on this father and son from the very beginning.

Ever since he had seen the Laws and Profound Mysteries last time, Doehring had finally understood the path forward for cultivation.

Therefore, the moment the father and son made their move against Linley, Doehring struck.

It was merely the simplest application of the Profound Mystery of Earth Element.

Yet, it was more than enough to deal with two Rank 5 warriors.

However, Doehring still chose to let Linley get injured before intervening.

After all, when Linley first encountered the father and son, Doehring had not warned him.

Sometimes, a thousand words of advice are never as profound as experiencing something for oneself.

It wasn't just Doehring; Lin Ke also tacitly chose not to warn Linley.

The schemes and infighting among humans in the Magical Beast Mountain Range were, in the end, just small tricks.

Linley's future journey would lead to the Higher Planes, where his opponents would be Asuras, Paragon High-Gods, and even Chief Sovereigns.

Lin Ke did not want the Linley he was nurturing to be inferior to the Linley from the original story.

"Has it already been two days until the Magic Test in the blink of an eye?" Doehring was also a bit dazed. "Linley, given your current situation, do you still need to go to the academy?"

"I don't think it's necessary either." Linley couldn't help but scratch his head. "But my elders said that I need friends, and also, also love."

Speaking of this, Linley's face turned slightly red.

"Love?" Doehring was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. "You're right, Linley, you do need love. Your Baruch Clan has few members, and you urgently need to spread your branches and leaves!"

Doehring's laughter made Linley feel even more embarrassed.

Linley simply opened his System Panel, choosing to ignore Doehring.

Meditation Method: Pu'ang Royal Meditation Method

Ever since entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Linley had been practicing on his own, but his human form held him back, causing him to remain at the peak of Rank 7 after his Dragon Transformation.

As for the Dragonblood Secret Manual, Linley had already read it after testing his bloodline, so he was no stranger to it.

And after consuming the dragon blood, Linley had gained the qualifications to practice the Dragonblood Secret Manual. Over these five months, Linley's Battle Qi had naturally grown as well.

It was just a pity that Battle Qi did not progress as quickly as magic cultivation; Battle Qi required the slow, grinding effort of a water-polishing process, just like a mage's spiritual energy.

For the past five months, Linley had not exchanged for any items, saving up all of his energy points.

Of course, the main reason was that his energy points were still too few to cause a qualitative change in Linley's strength.

For instance, reaching the ninth rank in human form, and becoming a Saint-level powerhouse after Dragon Transformation.

However, now that there were only two days left until the Magic Test, Linley was also preparing to leave.

"Brother Lin Ke, help me exchange for Purple Light Dew." Linley opened the

Mall Panel

, "Exchange all 130 million into 13,000 portions of Purple Light Dew."
