"Grandpa Doehring."

Linley looked toward Doehring beside him and spoke, "I need to break through; you and Beibei keep watch for me."

Linley's words left Doehring stunned for a moment.

He recalled five months ago, when they first entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and the terrifying speed at which Linley had broken through.

In other words, was he going to do it all over again now?

Could a god really do whatever they wanted?

Yet, for these past five months, Doehring had also been comprehending the profound mysteries of the Earth Elemental.

However, no matter how he thought about it, Doehring could not fathom why Linley's elder could directly help him break through.

This wasn't magic.

But, Doehring's internal complaints were heard by no one else.

At this moment, Linley had already sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Big Brother Lin Ke." Linley communicated with Lin Ke inside the System Space, "Thirteen thousand portions of Purple Light Dew, exchange them all."

"No problem."

Inside the System Space, Lin Ke put away all the items he had been researching and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, a continuous stream of Purple Light Dew poured into Linley's mouth.

Standing nearby, Doehring watched Linley's breakthrough speed, his entire being dumbfounded.

Fast!

It was too fast!

It was even faster than the breakthrough from five months ago.

The most crucial part was.

It seemed as if there were no end to it.

Peak level-five warrior, early level-six warrior, mid level-six warrior...

It wasn't just his warrior strength; Linley's mage strength was also breaking through simultaneously.

Not to mention that Doehring was a Saint-level mage, making his perception of spiritual energy even more precise.

Peak level-four, early level-five, mid level-five...

This time, Linley's breakthrough took a full ten-plus minutes.

And Doehring was completely shocked by now.

Thirteen thousand bottles of Purple Light Dew.

In total, it increased his physique by 91 million and his spiritual energy by 39 million.

"Level seven, a level-seven mage, an eight-year-old level-seven mage; he's crazy, this world has truly gone mad."

Beside him, Doehring's worldview was being reshaped once again.

A level-four mage, in just over ten minutes, broke through to become a level-seven mage.

The most critical point was that this mage was only an eight-year-old child.

Doehring had a lingering feeling.

From the moment Linley claimed the Coiling Dragon Ring and released him until now, he had actually been dreaming the whole time.

There was no such person as Linley at all; it was merely a fantasy before his soul dissipated.

How could it be possible for someone to break through from a level-four mage to a level-seven mage in just over ten minutes?

And it was an eight-year-old child, no less.

Was this reasonable?

Was this magic?

At this moment, Linley naturally did not know that Doehring had begun to doubt the reality of the world.

"Big Brother Lin Ke, open my Attribute Panel!"

After opening his eyes, Linley immediately began to check his attribute information.

"Human form: Level 8 warrior; after Dragon Transformation: peak Level 9; and also a Level 7 mage."

Looking at his own attributes, a smile gradually appeared on Linley's face.

"Grandpa Doehring." Linley looked up at Doehring beside him, "I've broken through. After my Dragon Transformation, I have the full strength of a Level 9."

"Swoosh~"

Before Linley could even finish his sentence, his entire body had already completed the Dragon Transformation.

After the transformation, Linley stood over two meters tall, his entire body covered in golden dragon scales that looked exceptionally ferocious.

Golden Dragonblood Battle Qi circulated within his body, and the wings on his back unfurled.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, Linley left behind only a golden afterimage as his figure vanished from where he stood.

"Crack, snap~"

Hundreds of meters away, Linley's figure reappeared.

The large trees along the path he had taken had all been cut down, as if severed by a sharp blade.

This was merely the result of his wings slicing through the air during his flight.

"Linley." Doehring looked at Linley, his gaze filled with emotion, "With your current strength, it's hard to say—some Saint-level experts might not even be your match."

Doehring's words made Linley pause in surprise.

"Grandpa Doehring, surely not?" Linley scratched his head, "They are Saint-level, after all. Though, I am confident that no Level 9 is a match for me."

"No, Linley." Doehring shook his head, "You've overlooked one point: your physical body is at Level 8. Do you know what that represents?"

Doehring's expression was filled with emotion, and Linley stood frozen on the spot.

That's right!

It wasn't his Battle Qi that had broken through to Level 8, but his physical body.

The significance of this was entirely different.

Uncle Hillman had said that the human body could reach at most Level 7.

His own grandfather was at that level as well.

That was only because of his Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, which gave his grandfather a higher physical talent.

But he had broken through directly to Level 8 because of the system and Big Brother Lin Ke.

This could be called a rarity in the world.

Let alone Level 8, some Saint-level warriors might not even have a physical body at Level 6.

After all, warrior talent does not necessarily include physical talent.

It could simply be that their Battle Qi cultivation speed is fast, or their speed in comprehending the Laws of the world is greater.

A pure Level 8 physical warrior was something Linley had never heard of until now.

"It's not just the physical body." Doehring looked at Linley with a probing gaze, "You have also comprehended the Laws of the Wind. Although it is only a tiny bit, it is already enough. At the very least, those two Saint-level experts who fought over Wushan Town previously would not be your match."

Saying these words, even Doehring found it hard to believe.

An eight-year-old child, capable of rivaling a Saint-level expert.

Was he truly still trapped in a hallucination?

"Roar~"

Just as Doehring's voice faded, a massive roar echoed from the distance.

"It's the roar of a bear-type Magic Beast." Doehring identified the sound instantly, "Bear-type Magic Beasts are at least Level 7; Level 8 is the most common, and there is no shortage of Level 9 or even Saint-level beasts. Linley, do you want to go take a look?"

Doehring's words made Linley's eyes light up.

"Let's go take a look." As Linley spoke, he transformed again, then looked at Beibei, who was lazily sunbathing nearby, "Beibei, let's go. We're heading over."

"Coming, Boss!"

In a flash, Beibei turned into an afterimage and landed on Linley's shoulder.

Beibei had only been born for about half a year.

Although Linley taught him, his intelligence wasn't very high—at most, it was about the same as Wharton's.

Fortunately, when it came to combat, Beibei could still understand Linley's commands.

"This Shadow Mouse is no simple creature either!"

Doehring returned to the Coiling Dragon Ring, feeling deeply moved.

A young Shadow Mouse whose speed could actually surpass a Level 7 Magic Beast, and was no worse than an average Level 8 beast.

Although its attack and defense could only be considered that of a Level 6 Magic Beast, this was already incredibly monstrous.

In the depths of Doehring's mind, he thought of a certain invincible existence on the Yulan Continent.

"Could it be that this little Shadow Mouse has some connection to that person?"
