Re-entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range

This was Linley Baruch's first time attending a noble banquet.

The entire event was nothing worth remembering, save for the endless stream of smiles.

Fortunately, Hogg had been very strict with Linley in the past, so Linley's etiquette did not falter.

Fortunately, as midnight approached, the banquet finally came to an end.

In front of the palace gates, Patterson smiled as he bid farewell to Linley and Hogg. "Count Hogg, I hope we have a pleasant relationship in the future!"

"We will, Duke Patterson." Hogg replied with a smile, "It is getting late, so we shall take our leave."

After both sides exchanged bows, Linley and Hogg boarded their carriage.

Yale was already lying in the carriage, fast asleep.

During the banquet earlier, Yale had tasted a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine, and had been carried out of the palace by a servant.

Upon returning to the Huali Hotel, the night passed without incident.

Early the next morning.

"Father." Linley looked at Hogg before him and said, "Please say goodbye to Wharton for me. I am leaving for the Magical Beast Mountain Range now."

"In such a hurry?" Hogg frowned slightly, "At least go back and see Wharton first, won't you?"

"No." Linley shook his head, "There will be time for that later."

Having said this, Linley fell silent for a moment before adding, "Father, you must take care of your safety while I am away. You have seen the speed at which my power is growing; when I return, we will avenge Mother."

"I know." Hogg smiled, stepped forward, and patted Linley on the shoulder, "Rest assured, I will not act recklessly."

The morning sun had just risen when Linley departed from Fenlai City.

Not long after leaving Fenlai City, Doehring emerged from the Coiling Dragon Ring. "Finally, I can come out and catch a breath of fresh air."

"Grandpa Doehring." Linley's expression was somewhat serious, "Are there many Saint-level experts in the Radiant Church?"

"Many." Doehring nodded slightly, "In my era, the Radiant Church was just a small sect. I truly didn't expect it to have developed so well today."

As he spoke, Doehring recalled the Saint-level auras he had sensed within Fenlai City. "At least five, and that doesn't even include the Pope. This isn't even the full strength of the Radiant Church."

Doehring's words caused Linley's breath to hitch slightly.

"Don't think too much about it." Seeing this, Doehring comforted Linley, "You have no grudge against the Radiant Church. With your rate of growth, they won't be able to afford to become your enemy by the time you reach that level."

"That's true." Linley nodded, looking at the surrounding environment, "Beibei should be just ahead."

No sooner had Linley finished speaking than a black shadow in the distance instantly arrived before him, then leaped onto Linley's shoulder.

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Boss, you finally came out."

Beibei's voice sounded somewhat resentful.

On the first night they arrived in Fenlai City, after finishing dinner, Beibei had told Linley he wanted to go out of the city to take a look.

Given Beibei's current strength, Linley didn't have to worry about him encountering any danger.

Moreover, the two had signed a contract, so they could sense each other even across a certain distance.

It was just that Linley had originally planned to leave the city once the Magic Test was over.

But then he had to attend the palace banquet, and it had dragged on until now.

"Alright, alright." Linley smiled and rubbed Beibei's head, "How about I get you a Bloodthirsty Iron Bull once we enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"I want two!"

"No problem, two it is!"

"Squeak, squeak~"

"..."

Linley and Beibei chatted as they set off toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The distance from Fenlai City to the outer perimeter of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was about two hundred li.

Linley did not travel at full speed, and it was not until dusk that he finally entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Beibei, we have an agreement." Once inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Linley's expression turned serious, "This time, unless I ask, you are absolutely not to intervene."

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Don't worry, Boss, I definitely won't ruin your training."

Beibei quickly agreed.

After dark, Linley killed a family of three Bloodthirsty Wild Boars and occupied their cave.

"Big Brother Lin Ke." Sitting in front of the campfire roasting a pig's trotter, Linley communicated with Lin Ke, "Show me my Attribute Panel. Also, didn't you say there were new items that could help me move through the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

Name: Linley Baruch

Spiritual Energy: 39.03 million

Battle Qi: 11,000

He had previously killed one level-nine Magic Beast and one Saint-level Magic Beast.

The one million Green Energy Points from the Saint-level Magic Beast were exchanged for a Senzu Bean, which saved Linley's life.

The level-nine Magic Beast provided one hundred thousand Green Energy Points.

Ten thousand of those were used by Linley to exchange for a Space Ring, and the remaining ten thousand were exchanged for Azure Dragon Blood.

Compared to the inferior dragon blood Linley had used at the beginning, Linley had made quite a few requests when exchanging for Hogg.

Otherwise, even with a normal awakening of the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, the first transformation would cause excruciating pain.

Yet, when Hogg transformed, he felt not the slightest discomfort, making Linley feel that the ten thousand Green Energy Points were well spent.

As for Magic Power, it was gradually increasing alongside the growth of Linley's spiritual energy.

However, Battle Qi really could only be built up through slow, steady effort, so there was no way for Linley to accelerate the process.

But, when Linley opened the Mall Panel, his eyes lit up.

Battle Qi Pill: 1,000 Green Energy Points.

Magic Power Pill: 1,000 Green Energy Points.

Linley spotted the newly added items at a glance and hurriedly asked, "Brother Lin Ke, how much Battle Qi or Magic Power can one Battle Qi Pill or Magic Power Pill increase?"

"One pill increases 1,000 points of Battle Qi or Magic Power." Lin Ke spoke from within the System Space, "However, the main reason I had you look at the mall was for another item."

Hearing Lin Ke's words, Linley flipped through the mall pages.

Soon, the latest items appeared before Linley's eyes.

Primary Detector: 100,000 Green Energy Points

Intermediate Detector: 1,000,000 Green Energy Points

Advanced Detector: 10,000,000 Green Energy Points

"The primary version can detect a radius of 20 li, and the intermediate version a radius of 40 li." Lin Ke's voice continued to echo in Linley's mind, "As for the advanced version, it can detect a radius of one hundred li, and it can detect humans, Magic Beasts, and their levels."

Hearing Lin Ke's introduction, Linley's eyes shone brightly.

A range of twenty li alone was enough for Linley to accomplish many things.

Especially since he was currently on a mission and could not use Dragon Transformation.

One hundred thousand Green Energy Points.

Ten level-eight Magic Beasts, or one hundred level-seven Magic Beasts.

Although he could not use Dragon Transformation and thus could not unleash his full strength, Linley had already barely entered the threshold of the Mysteries of Fast and Slow in the Wind Element laws.

Even if he only possessed level-eight strength in his human form, Linley feared no enemy below the Saint-level.

Not to mention, Linley was not just a warrior; he was also a mage.

A level-seven mage.

However, the most important thing right now was that Linley still needed to learn magic.

After all, in the few days since his breakthrough, Linley had not yet had the chance to learn Earth Element magic from Doehring.

"Grandpa Doehring." Linley picked up a roasted pig trotter and handed it to Beibei, "Starting tomorrow, please teach me Earth Element magic from level five to level seven."
